Age: My Small World

Chapter 98 Visit
"Comrade, who are you looking for?" The security guard blocked Yang Jun's way.

The steel plant had just been built, and the security guards at the gate were the first team to be deployed. After all, safety is very important for such a large state-owned factory.

It is also to prevent some lazy guys from coming to steal things. There are always such petty thieves at any time.

"Hello, big brother. I'm looking for Yang Hongmei from the factory. She's my eldest sister. I came here specially to give her something."

As he spoke, Yang Jun also raised a piece of cloth in his hand. He was going to let his elder sister sew a set of clothes for herself, so that she wouldn't always have only the same piece of clothing, which would be inconvenient to change.

As for the bicycle, it must have been put away long ago.

Yang Hongmei didn't bring much when she came. Since he has some free time today, he might as well go and see if his elder sister needs anything, so that he can quickly go to the county town to buy it.

"Yang Hongmei?"

The guard had vaguely heard of the name, but he still nodded to Yang Jun and said, "Comrade, please wait a moment. I will notify the family members of the comrades inside to come out."

"Thank you, comrade." Yang Jun agreed and nodded with a smile.

The guard turned around and went back, then picked up the phone inside and started dialing.

You can tell the level of this factory by looking at the phone. Not every factory can install a phone like this nowadays.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Yang Jun finally saw a figure walking out in a hurry.

"The hill!"

Yang Hongmei is no longer as thin as she was at the beginning, and her face has become paler. From a distance, she looks more like a normal girl.

At this moment, after seeing Yang Jun, she trotted over excitedly.

"Xiaoshan, why are you here? Where are mother and Yumei?"

My eldest sister is now a little different from her original gentle and quiet self. She has become more cheerful, which is a good thing.

"Sister, I came here alone."

"Isn't today a day off? I'll take the opportunity to come see you after I finish chopping firewood in the village, and bring you something by the way."

He handed over the fabric.

"Yes, our home is so far away from here, it's not convenient for mom to come over."

Yang Hongmei was speaking when she suddenly saw the cloth handed to her by Yang Jun, and she frowned instantly.

"Xiaoshan, this cloth is made of good material. Where did you get it?"

"Sister, have you forgotten that my article was in the newspaper? I actually hid some money secretly, but you can't tell Mom."

Yang Jun said so.

This was an excuse for him to give special treatment to his elder sister. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the source of the money.

After hearing what happened, Yang Hongmei was immediately relieved. Hiding some private money was nothing to her.

If Yang Jun is willing, I can actually give him all the money in the house.

"I had forgotten that my brother is a great writer." The eldest sister's pride was evident in her words.

"So, keep this cloth and make yourself some clothes. At least you'll have something to change into when you go back to the factory to work."

"Xiaoshan, I have clothes. I brought an extra set of clothes with me." The eldest sister was still somewhat resistant to the cloth, mainly because it looked expensive. She felt that if she made clothes out of it, it would be a waste.

"Big sister, do you think you're the only one who has this? I've already bought gifts for mom and second sister, so what's missing for you? Maybe if you dress smarter, you can get a permanent job at the factory sooner. Then, when you have your own income, will you still be worried about missing out on my gift?"

"By the way, I haven't asked you how things are going at this factory. You're the first batch here. Do you have any chance of becoming a regular employee?"

After hearing what he said, Yang Hongmei finally accepted the cloth after some hesitation. She had already made up her mind to give all the money she earned back home, so that she wouldn't have to worry about Xiaoshan being left without it.

If you can really get a regular job early, that would be a great thing.

Thinking of this, her face was no longer conflicted, but instead showed a smile.

"Xiaoshan, the factory told us when we first came in that we would be apprentices first, and if we performed well, we could become regular employees."

As she said this, Yang Hongmei's eyes were filled with hope again, a look of desire to stay and work as a worker.

"Big sister, then you just work hard and strive to get a permanent position. You don't need to worry about things at home. My second sister and I are watching over us."

"Okay, I understand, Xiaoshan. I will try my best." The eldest sister said with determination.

Yang Jun continued to use tricks for a while and found out everything about his elder sister's current situation.

As soon as Yang Hongmei arrived at the steel plant, she was assigned to the canteen team. At present, she is only helping with the work in the kitchen, which is probably similar to cutting and preparing. The employees are provided with three full meals a day. The breakfast, lunch and dinner are all sufficient and there is plenty of meat. They occasionally eat together, and the food is actually much better than in the village.

Of course, this situation may continue for some time.

In addition, the eldest sister didn't bring much with her when she came, and even when she slept in the dormitory at night, she only had a thin blanket to cover herself, which made Yang Jun worried.

After a while, he took the initiative to ask to go back. Yang Hongmei believed it and said goodbye reluctantly.

"Thank you, comrade. I may have to trouble you again next time."

Yang Jun said politely to the guard just now.

He will most likely be back later, so naturally he needs to prepare some groundwork so as not to come too often and cause trouble.

The security guard is actually only about twenty years old, with a tall figure. He should be from the army. He serves as a security guard here. His status is similar to that of a policeman. He also has law enforcement power at the steel plant and is an important part of the steel plant.

"It's ok."

"Thank you, brother." The eldest sister also thanked him gently.

"No...you're welcome...Comrade Yang Hongmei." Seeing Yang Hongmei talking to him, the security guard's face flushed and he scratched his head embarrassedly.

"By the way, um... my name is Yu Liang." After saying this, he stood up straighter, looking like a wooden stake.

"Comrade Yu Liang, I'll trouble you in the future." The elder sister just glanced at him and then looked at Yang Jun.

"Xiaoshan, be careful when you go back and pay attention to safety on the road."

"I know, sister."

Yang Jun seemed to be thinking about something.

He glanced at his elder sister again.

Although Yang Hongmei cannot be said to be beautiful now, she can be considered pretty. After all, Yang Jun is quite good-looking, so there is no reason why her two sisters would be ugly. It was just that their work delayed them in the past.

Life is better now, and with the nourishment of spiritual water, his true appearance is gradually revealed, and he is no worse than anyone else.

"Let's just take it one step at a time. This kind of thing ultimately depends on both of us."

Yang Jun had a good impression of Comrade Yu Liang, but one can only judge a person by his appearance and not by his heart. If one wants to know his true character, one still needs to spend a long time with him.

After saying a lot more words, Yang Jun gradually left.

Yang Hongmei looked at him reluctantly, then turned back.

She didn't notice that Yu Liang also glanced at her before turning away, his neck turning red.
