Chapter 133: Poverty is a Wealth
Zeng Qixin, the manager of the bookstore, finally came out.
In fact, when the saleswoman named Wan Fengxian insulted Yu Xiaohui just now, Zeng Qixin already knew about it, but he didn't come out to intervene. Wan Fengxian was a woman with a slight mania, and Zeng Qixin and the other employees in the bookstore did not dare to provoke her.
Wan Fengxian has quarreled with customers in the bookstore more than once, but each time she can take advantage of a little reason, such as a customer soiling a book, or misplacing a book that has been taken down. Zeng Qixin actually connived at Wan Fengxian to quarrel with customers, because this can deter some customers who often come to the bookstore to read books. It's true that bookstores sell books on open shelves, but Zeng Qixin doesn't want customers to treat bookstores as libraries.
Seeing that Wan Fengxian scolded a little girl and cried, and the adults in the family came to the door again, and made radical moves in front of Wan Fengxian, Zeng Qixin knew that he couldn't hide anymore. In case the two sides do not agree on a word, it is always a troublesome matter. Especially if Wan Fengxian suffers a loss in the fight, she will definitely make trouble in the store.
"Excuse me, where are you?"
Zeng Qixin walked up to Tang Zifeng and the others and asked with a reserved attitude. Behind him, followed by several male employees in the store, who Zeng Qixin specially came to support himself.
Hearing Zeng Qixin's question, Tang Zifeng didn't answer immediately, but Xiao Wenjun quietly reached out and took it out of his small bag, and felt out something and pinned it to his chest.
"Tsinghua University!"
One of the onlookers whispered a few exclaims. What Xiao Wenjun just didn't go up to was a school emblem of Tsinghua University.
Zeng Qixin was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face was clearly a little panicked. At this time, the expansion of university enrollment has not begun, and a student of Tsinghua University has some influence in a city like Linhe. It can be said that if two people quarrel on the street, and one of them is wearing the Tsinghua University emblem, then 99% of the onlookers will be convinced that this person represents the righteous side, because ...... He's from Tsinghua!
Yu Xiaohui copied the exercise book in the bookstore, this kind of behavior did look very shabby, and most of the onlookers looked down on her. But at this moment, almost all people changed their opinions, this is a girl who is covered by relatives from Tsinghua University, so what she did naturally gained the aura of justice. Everyone is thinking, what a good child she loves to learn, and she will definitely come back with a Tsinghua school emblem like her little sister in the future, and blind these bookstore salespeople who hate the poor and love the rich.
"She is my sister, she is reading a book here with you, and she has been abused by your clerk for no reason, I hope you can give us an explanation!" Xiao Wenjun said in a calm tone.
"This classmate is our disciple of Linyiji. I am Tang Zifeng, assistant director of Linyi Machine, and I ask you to give an explanation on this matter in the name of Linyi Machine. Tang Zifeng said domineeringly.
"Tang Zifeng! You are Tang ...... Assistant Tang!"
Zeng Qixin shuddered. If Xiao Wenjun's school emblem made him feel a little tricky, Tang Zifeng's name directly shocked him. The manager of Xinhua Bookstore is not a big official, but after all, he is also an official in the system. In the system of Linhe City, who has not heard of the name of Tang Zifeng of Linyiji, to be exact, his notoriety.
What did this guy say just now, he said that he would bring 200 people to dismantle Wan Fengxian's bones first, and then dismantle this broken shop. If someone else made such a threat, Zeng Qixin could still laugh at it, but now that it was Tang Zifeng who said this, Zeng Qixin didn't dare to have a trace of luck.
Of course, he believed that it was impossible for Tang Zifeng to tear down Wan Fengxian's bones, and it was also unlikely that he would tear down his bookstore. But once Tang Zifeng gets angry, he can beat a bank president in front of the deputy mayor, how big a face can he Qixin have, believe it or not, people can slap him into a two-dimensional state.
"This classmate, uh, and Assistant Tang, this matter ...... It should have been a misunderstanding. ”
Zeng Qixin decided to kneel, no matter how many people he brought to support the table, it was in vain, in the entire Linhe City, which unit dared to compare the number of people with Linyi machine, to say that it was also a loss for the bookstore, even if the little girl copied a little book, you can remind it at most, how can there be a reason to insult in public
"Is there a misunderstanding" Tang Zifeng would not let go of the other party so easily, he said: "This manager, do you want me to pull you out on the street, scold your ancestors for eight generations, and then say that this is just a misunderstanding, forget the account"
"Assistant Tang, this matter is indeed something we did inappropriately, otherwise, we will give this classmate a new book as a gift" Zeng Qixin came up with a new way.
Tang Zifeng stood up: "Do you think we can't afford to buy a book?"
"No, no, I mean ......"
"Apologize! Let this crazy woman bow and apologize to our classmate!"
"This ......" Zeng Qixin hesitated, is Wan Fengxian such a good talker
Tang Zifeng smiled coldly, turned his head to Xiao Wenjun and said, "Wenjun, you take Xiaohui out, find a public phone booth, call Director Fan of the factory office, and ask her to contact Mayor Lu in the city and ask him to deal with it." ”
"Don't!" Zeng Qixin was immediately intimidated, he didn't think that Tang Zifeng was bluffing at all, whether it was with Tang Zifeng's fame or with the level of Linyiji, if he wanted to ask Lu Zhenghong to come out to deal with one thing, he could do it. And if this matter is really stabbed in front of Lu Zhenghong, he, the manager, will be considered the end.
"Wan Fengxian, have you heard, and you haven't come to apologize to this classmate!" Zeng Qixin turned his head to Wan Fengxian and shouted loudly.
"I ...... I'm sorry. Wan Fengxian was suppressed by Tang Zifeng's aura, and the pungency on weekdays was gone. She obediently stepped forward, bowed slightly, and apologized to Yu Xiaohui.
Tang Zifeng snorted coldly and said to Xiao Wenjun: "Wenjun, take Xiaohui with you, let's go." ”
After that, he turned his head again, and he didn't know whether it was Wan Fengxian or the surrounding people who were eating melons, and said coldly: "I'll tell you a word, don't bully the young man to be poor!"
Leaving the bookstore, the three of them walked for a while, Yu Xiaohui raised her head, and said to Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun with tears in her eyes: "Uncle Tang, Sister Wenjun, I'm sorry, I have embarrassed you." ”
"What are you talking about, how can I blame you for this" Xiao Wenjun persuaded, and at the same time handed Tang Zifeng a roll of his eyes.
Tang Zifeng could roughly guess what Xiao Wenjun was thinking, and he didn't explain, but put a hand on Xiaohui's shoulder and said, "Xiaohui, don't think like that." I understand the situation in your family, poverty is not a mistake, it is not just suffering, it is the rarest wealth in your life. ”
"But......" Yu Xiaohui hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Tang Zifeng said: "Actually, when I was studying, my family was also very poor. I went to school in the city, and because I couldn't afford to buy a meal ticket, I had to carry rice from home to school every week, and the dishes I brought from home were moldy tofu and bean paste, and sometimes I couldn't eat meat once a month. ”
"Really," Yu Xiaohui's eyes widened in surprise. After all, she is a child of the factory, even when the economic situation in the factory is the worst, she has never suffered like this. In fact, by the mid-90s, China's per capita income had risen dramatically, even for poor households, much better than it did in the 80s.
Tang Zifeng said: "Of course it's true. Sometimes, I couldn't stand the hunger at night, so I went to the villager's field with your fat uncle to steal sweet potatoes to satisfy my hunger. Later, I was discovered by the fellow, your fat uncle ran slowly, was caught by the fellow, and hung and beat ......"
Yu Xiaohui burst out laughing, she had a good relationship with Ning Mo, and she always felt that this fat uncle was cute. Now that she heard that he was hanged and beaten, she immediately remembered the scene of the second senior brother being hung and beaten in Journey to the West, which made her laugh out loud.
Xiao Wenjun saw that Tang Zifeng untied Yu Xiaohui's knot in a few words, so he took Tang Zifeng's words and said: "When I was a child, my mother was not in good health and often had to take medicine, and some medicines could not be reimbursed by the factory, so I could only pay for them, so my family's economic conditions were also very bad. One of the reasons why I studied very hard at that time was that our school would give scholarships to the top three students in the grade, and the first place was 20 yuan. I get the money every time. ”
"Well, I see. Yu Xiaohui nodded. She cried in front of Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun just now, only a small half of it was because she was humiliated by Wan Fengxian, and more than half of it was because she exposed the poverty of her family in front of the two of them, she felt that this was a shameful thing. Now that she heard that Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun had experienced poverty, and even their poverty back then was far greater than her poverty, the feeling of shame in her heart naturally disappeared.
The three of them returned to the factory, Yu Xiaohui said that she wanted to go home first, Xiao Wenjun was not at ease, so she accompanied her in the name of wanting to visit her house. Tang Zifeng explained that Yu Xiaohui came to his house for dinner in the evening, saying that he and Xiao Wenjun would make dumplings to eat, and Yu Xiaohui happily agreed.
Tang Zifeng went to the supermarket in the East District, bought flour, minced meat, leeks and other things, and began to mix noodles when he got home. He had just been with him for a while, and Xiao Wenjun also came back, but his face looked ugly.
"What's wrong with you," Tang Zifeng asked with concern.
"I really didn't expect that Xiaohui's family would be so poor. Xiao Wenjun sat down and said to Tang Zifeng with a calm face.
Tang Zifeng nodded: "I know." Her father is not in good health, he is on sick leave, and he can only get a basic salary, so the family is very poor. That's why I kept Xiaohui to be a nanny with me, and that's why. ”
"However, can't your factory help people like Xiaohui?" Xiao Wenjun said angrily, "Your factory leaders are so extravagant, just eat a meal, four dishes are not enough." There is also the luxury suite of that little guest house, with 24-hour hot water. You can't reduce this kind of enjoyment a little bit and help the poor families in the factory."
