Chapter 72: Going to the Second Floor

Li Xuewu walked to the changing room and saw the master from just now making tea, so he greeted him.

This master's craftsmanship was okay, so Li Xuewu had him shave his face, trim his feet, and do a bone-loosening massage.

You have to say that the craftsmanship at this time was truly vigorous, much stronger than the technicians of later generations.

He wiped his body dry with a towel. Now it was time for the next step.

It was definitely not "Going to the second floor!"

Definitely not!

No!

It was putting on clothes!

Putting on his own clothes!

Not disposable paper underwear!

He took down the basket on top of the cabinet and started putting on clothes. Taking advantage of the master going out, Li Xuewu changed into clean clothes from his space, took his toiletries, and went out the door.

Returning to the dormitory, he saw the child was still sleeping soundly. He picked up his lunch box and was about to go get food. A member of the security team rushed to help get it. Li Xuewu took the opportunity to give him the meal tickets, just in time to have time to lie on the kang for a while longer.

He ate two bites of the dinner brought back by the team member and lay on the kang with his daughter, dozing off.

He didn't know how long he had been dozing when he heard the big broadcast in the courtyard shouting: "A movie will be shown at the entrance of the factory cafeteria tonight. Please observe order, employees and family members..."

It turned out today was Saturday, and tomorrow was Sunday.

Most workshops were off on Sunday, and many workers would participate in voluntary labor. To appease the workers, the factory organized movie screenings, which could be considered entertainment for the workers' cultural life.

Li Xuewu hadn't watched a movie since coming to this era. Hearing the broadcast, he was a bit moved, but looking at his daughter's sleeping face, he didn't want to go anymore, fearing she would get hot, so he pulled the quilt down a bit.

A standard daughter-slave posture.

A few team members couldn't bear to watch.

"Captain, you should go watch the movie. We are on duty in the dormitory, there's nothing to do anyway. We'll watch the child for you. We also know how to change diapers."

"Yes, go ahead, we are here."

Seeing that the few spoke sincerely, and just happening to want to go see the excitement, Li Xuewu saw that his daughter showed no signs of waking up, so he threw a box of Da Qianmen cigarettes to the person who spoke earlier.

"I'll leave my daughter to you all, but you have to go outside to smoke, don't smoke around my daughter."

Looking at Li Xuewu's appearance, a few team members laughed. Who was the angry Vajra who threw Wang Weidong to the ground like a ball here earlier?

Look at his current appearance, he is more kind-hearted than a Bodhisattva.

The cafeteria wasn't far. He touched his daughter's little hand, put on his military overcoat, and walked out the door.

Li Xuewu going to the cafeteria to see the excitement was secondary; he wanted to find someone who understood to ask about milk, preferably to find a woman in the lactation period.

The entrance to the cafeteria was quite lively. The screen had already been set up, and men, women, old, and young were noisily fighting for territory and placing stools.

This one said: "Why are there so many people?"

That side shouted: "Showing a movie, showing a movie!"

Someone else was shouting: "Come, come, come, there's a seat here."

The whole square was filled with the sounds of calling friends and looking for family members.

It was still broad daylight, and there was still some time before the movie started. So many people had already gathered, completely wanting to grab a good spot.

Why did the Rolling Steel Factory choose the cafeteria entrance to show movies?

Because the cafeteria had benches! The Rolling Steel Factory was an hour's journey from the city, and carrying benches back and forth would exhaust you to death.

Workers could borrow the cafeteria's benches to sit and watch the movie. Of course, the benches were limited, and whoever grabbed a bench first got it.

At this time, entertainment was scarce. "Middle-class families" spent 2 yuan on movies every month. Watching movies was an important life entertainment program.

Hearing that the Rolling Steel Factory was showing a movie, workers' families and relatives all gathered here. If you didn't come early, you would have to climb a tree and sit on a branch to watch.

Let alone now, which post-80s or post-90s generation didn't have the experience of occupying a spot for their family before the movie started? Holding a bench, they would go without eating.

Li Xuewu didn't intend to finish the movie, nor did he intend to sit and watch. He had been sitting for the past few days, so he just found a place to stand and watch the excitement of adults and children fighting for territory.

At this time, Qin Huairu also led her younger sister Qin Jingru along the main road of the factory area to the cafeteria square.

Qin Jingru was called over by Qin Huairu in a letter on Wednesday, saying she was introducing a partner to her, a chef who lived next door to a large courtyard.

The family had many large houses, good living conditions, no mother-in-law to restrict her, and the chef's monthly salary was 37 yuan and 50 cents, easily supporting the family.

They agreed to meet on Saturday after work, and on Sunday, they could just go out and walk around with the partner.

At this time, dating didn't have as many tricks as later generations. The most common thing was "walking the horse road" (strolling).

Qin Jingru's family was also very happy to receive a letter from the city. At this time, being a cook meant being able to eat well. ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
