Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 22, Satisfying Your Cravings
Chen Qiufeng's first impression of Zhao Mancang was not very good, but as she got to know him more deeply, her impression changed a lot.

Even Director Wu Huamin praised Zhao Mancang highly. Chen Qiufeng felt that Zhao Mancang was definitely not a simple worker.

After returning to the Propaganda Department, Chen Qiufeng began to organize her manuscript, preparing to make some revisions before submitting it.

Looking at the words in the manuscript, Chen Qiufeng suddenly thought of the definition of responsibility that Zhao Mancang had told her before.

"No, I have to ask him again why he has to associate me with the people of Hiroshima. They are the Japanese who live a good life. I hate them so much."

The next day, Zhang Guozhong, head of the Propaganda Department, came to Chen Qiufeng to express his concern for this new comrade who had just arrived at the steel plant.

It is graduation season recently, and many companies are scrambling to recruit college students. The steel plant cannot compete with other companies and can only recruit a few liberal arts college students.

As a steel plant, it actually does not lack liberal arts college students, but rather it is very short of college students with technical skills.

However, Chen Qiufeng was a college student after all, so she was assigned to the Propaganda Department as a Propaganda Officer and the future Deputy Chief of the Propaganda Department.

"Comrade Chen Qiufeng, are you used to coming to our steel plant?"

"Very good, Chief Zhang"

Chen Qiufeng exchanged a few words with the section chief, then glanced at the manuscripts on the table. Suddenly, she thought of Zhao Mancang and said,
"Section Chief Zhang, do you know Zhao Mancang?"

Zhang Guozhong immediately smiled and asked:

"What's wrong? Are you having any trouble?"

It was he who personally assigned Chen Qiufeng the task of following up on the breeder's affairs.

It’s not that it’s difficult for Chen Qiufeng, but this matter is relatively simple, while other things are still a bit difficult for Chen Qiufeng.

"It was when I went to the breeding room yesterday that I realized that being a breeder is not easy. I heard that Zhao Mancang cured a donkey and a working ox in recent days."

"Oh, you want to know more about him?" Zhang Guozhong kept smiling and quickly told the story of Zhao Mancang.

There has been quite a bit of gossip about Zhao Mancang recently, especially his divorce from Huang Xiuling some time ago, which was the biggest entertainment gossip in the entire steel plant.

Chen Qiufeng opened her mouth in surprise, and for a moment she didn't know whether to say that Zhao Mancang was lucky or unlucky.

You may say that he is unfortunate, but his ex-wife is a college student, and college students in this era are really awesome.

Besides, Huang Xiuling has already graduated and must have been assigned a job.

In this way, if both husband and wife have jobs, it becomes a dual-income family, and both husband and wife support the family, which is absolutely the envy of others.

But if you say Zhao Mancang is lucky, after eight years of marriage, his wife is still a virgin, and his father-in-law's family are all burdens.

They were about to get married, but suddenly they got divorced. It's so sad.

In particular, Chen Qiufeng heard Zhang Guozhong say that the reason why Zhao Mancang's ex-wife was unwilling to have sex was because she was thinking about other men.

I'm depreesed!
“He’s quite pitiful then.”

After all, Chen Qiufeng is a lesbian and is naturally more emotional.

Zhang Guozhong sneered and said:
"He's not pitiful at all. He's living a carefree life now. One person's food feeds the whole family."

"He only has a monthly salary of 54.10 yuan. Even if he eats fine grains every day, he still can't finish it all."

Of course, it is impossible to eat fine grains every day unless he exchanges food with his neighbors or the pigeon market.

Generally speaking, to be on the safe side, everyone would go to Pigeon Market to exchange food.

Because under the unified purchase and marketing policy, everyone's grain quota is fixed.

It’s just that some families are better off, so they want to eat fine grains every meal. On the contrary, some families are in financial difficulty and can only replace the fine grains in their food quota with coarse grains.

Chen Qiufeng was shocked when she heard this.

It seemed that there was nothing wrong with what Zhang Guozhong said. At noon, in the cafeteria, Chen Qiufeng was about to line up for lunch with her lunch box, when she saw Zhao Mancang happily leaving with two lunch boxes and three steamed buns.

Chen Qiufeng could smell the aroma of meat when it passed by her.

Very rich!

Many workers also looked at Zhao Mancang eagerly, feeling indescribably envious.

One of the two lunch boxes must contain meat.

Although I don’t know what kind of meat it is, it is definitely delicious.

Chen Qiufeng thought of what she had said in the morning about how pitiful Zhao Mancang was, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: I am the one who is really pitiful!

Since they were having meat today, Zhao Mancang took his lunch box and went to eat under the big tree outside the cafeteria.

Only here can I stay away from the crowd and avoid having others drooling over the meat in my lunch box.

After eating a pound of braised yellow mutton, plus three steamed buns, hot and sour potato shreds and stir-fried cabbage, you will feel a satisfying fullness.

“I could eat it in my previous life, but it was still far inferior to what I have now.”

In this life, this young body is really full of energy and can eat a lot.

After lunch, Zhao Mancang ran into Fan Tong and others when he went back to the sink at the cafeteria entrance to wash his lunch box.

"Hey, Brother Mancang, did you eat meat for lunch? What kind of meat smells so good?"

Meat isn’t actually very fragrant, but what can I say?

It’s like the person cooking in the kitchen doesn’t feel how delicious the food is, but the person waiting to eat in the living room can smell the rich aroma.

In the 1950s, each Han Chinese person was supplied with six taels of pork and five taels of beef and mutton per month.

Basically, many families save up and eat meat once every two weeks.

In this way, meat will appear to be very precious.

The rarer it is, the more people crave it, and naturally they think the meat is particularly delicious.

"We had that braised pork at noon, so I ordered two pieces to eat, haha, to satisfy my craving."

Zhao Mancang said it casually without telling the truth.

Moreover, he had to suppress his physiological reaction of burping as much as possible, otherwise, once the burp came out, he would be exposed.

After chatting for a while, Fan Tong brought up the old matter again and asked if they really didn't want to go fishing together tomorrow?

"No, I won't go over there. You guys have fun."

Upon hearing this, Fan Tong could only shake his head regretfully, but he did not invite him again.

When he got off work in the evening, Zhao Mancang was called aside by Li Baoguo again and was invited again.

This is exactly what Sima Zhao is thinking, and everyone knows it.

In other words, Su Wanzhen didn't see it, otherwise, she might have gone up to Li Baoguo and argued with him.

Tomorrow is Sunday. Zhao Mancang doesn’t have any thoughts. He just wants to sleep until he wakes up naturally.

Salaries aren’t coming out that soon, and the little money I have can’t do much, so staying at home is the best option.

If I had money, the first thing I would do is to get a bicycle ticket and buy a bicycle.

Although measuring the distance between the steel plant and the Huguo Temple on foot every day was a good exercise, Zhao Mancang felt that this was not in line with his identity as a lazy person.
