Chapter 238: She's Gone
And Zhao Chong's side is not much better,
When I arrived at the construction site, I realized that it could not be started at all because of land use problems.
Most of the workers who were sent were transferred from City A.
Knowing that he couldn't work, he naturally went back,
And some of them are recruited locally,
Without here, there are alternatives,
Zhao Chong alone, who is not a person in the company, and has no alternatives,
I originally thought that the construction site would send dormitories, so I didn't bring much money.
Now that my job is in vain, the money around me is enough to find a cheap hostel nearby to deal with for two days.
Mrs. Zhao originally wanted to persuade Zhao Chong to buy a ticket to go back,
But Zhao Chong thought about the lofty words he told Father Fang before he came out,
Wouldn't it be a slap in the face to go back now?
Now that it's all out, I have to make some achievements.
But if it's just him, he can deal with it whatever he wants,
But there is also Mrs. Zhao and the child, which has become a problem.
The child still needs to be fed, and Mrs. Zhao must eat nutritious food to feed the child.
Zhao Chong was a little anxious, he thought this was his chance to turn over,
Unexpectedly, bad luck fell on his head again.
A family of three found a room for three days that looked neat and tidy.
Zhao Chong wanted to use these three days to see if he could find a new job here.
Even if you are tired and hard, as long as you can keep Mrs. Zhao and the children well fed and clothed.
The house money is a big expense, and there is not much money left.
Zhao Chong bought some meals for Mrs. Zhao and told her to rest after eating.
Seeing that Zhao Chong was about to go out without eating, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly put down her chopsticks,
"Can you eat something before you go out?"
Zhao Chong glanced at the few meals on the table, waved his hand, and left.
Mrs. Zhao looked at the closed door, looked at the food in front of her, and suddenly lost her appetite.
But the child has to feed, she just has no appetite and can't stop eating.
After barely eating a few bites, Mrs. Zhao couldn't eat anymore, and just when the child woke up, she coaxed the child to go.
Later in the evening, Zhao Chong came back from outside with food.
Looking at the food on the table that didn't move much, he frowned slightly,
Think about it too,
Mrs. Zhao has been pampered since she was a child, how can these meals meet her appetite.
Turning his head, he saw that Zhao Chong's face was not quite right, and when he saw his eyes falling on the food, he knew that he must have thought too much.
"I went to the front desk and asked, they have a pot to heat up for us, and you didn't eat much when you went out,
I'll go warm it up for you later, shall I?"
Mrs. Zhao said cautiously, for fear that her words would touch Zhao Chong's self-esteem.
Looking at Mrs. Zhao's appearance, Zhao Chong realized that his attitude was not quite right,
He softened his face and put the bread in his hand on the table,
"You're not eating alone now, I'm going to heat it up, let's eat together." ”
Zhao Chong knew that if he didn't eat it, Mrs. Zhao would definitely not eat much,
That's why I propose to eat together.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao smiled and nodded.
During the meal, Mrs. Zhao quietly observed the expression of Zhao Chong,
She wanted to ask how she was looking for a job.
But I was afraid that there would be no progress, so I asked plainly, which made Zhao Chong feel uncomfortable.
In the end, it is husband and wife, Zhao Chong knew what Mrs. Zhao was thinking at a glance,
He sighed, now that their family of three is dependent on each other,
Zhao Chong felt that there was no need to hide it, and he couldn't hide it for long anyway.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chong put down the dishes and chopsticks,
"Today I walked around the neighborhood and didn't find a suitable job,
Tomorrow I want to go to a farther place, you and the children stay here, don't go out. ”
Mrs. Zhao nodded, only letting Zhao Chong pay attention to her body,
If you're hungry outside, you have to eat, don't patronize her and the children, and drag your body down.
Zhao Chong should have responded, but he also knew that the money around him was not enough to eat on both sides.
For three days in a row, whether it was near or farther away, Zhao Chong traveled all over,
But people either don't recruit people or Zhao Chong can't meet the requirements,
The money around me is enough to buy two steamed buns, and the house money is about to expire.
When he returned to the hostel, Zhao Chong didn't see Mrs. Zhao's figure, and he sighed in his heart.
Then I hurriedly went downstairs and asked the front desk if I had seen Mrs. Zhao.
The front desk said that soon after Zhao Chong left, he saw Mrs. Zhao go out with the child in her arms.
He hasn't come back until now.
By the way, I also mentioned that the house money paid by Zhao Chong will expire at noon tomorrow, and if you want to renew your stay, you have to pay the money.
Zhao Chong didn't listen to what the front desk said at all,
He only knew that Mrs. Zhao left shortly after he left,
Didn't leave a word or note,
Maybe she's disappointed in him.
Zhao Chong returned to the room in despair, looking at the neatly arranged meals on the table,
A sudden sense of powerlessness arose in my heart.
He could understand Mrs. Zhao's reluctance, after all, whoever put up such an unlucky person as him would never give up.
It's that he himself wants to give up.
Zhao Chong took the only money he had left to buy two bottles of beer at the front desk, and poured them into his mouth one by one in the room.
Soon the two bottles of wine bottomed out, but Zhao Chong hadn't drunk enough.
He wanted to numb himself with alcohol and make himself easy for a while.
But these two bottles are only enough for him to stuff between his teeth, and they can't get drunk at all.
But why did he seem to see Mrs. Zhao standing at the door with the child in her arms?
It seems that his alcohol consumption has regressed, and two bottles of beer have hallucinated him.
The figure got closer and closer, as if it was not a hallucination, but a real person.
"What's wrong?"
Mrs. Zhao saw Zhao Chong's flushed face, and hurriedly put down the child in her hand and walked over.
Squatted down and raised his hand to wipe the remaining wine stains on the corners of Zhao Chong's mouth.
This real touch made Zhao Chong react immediately,
It's not a hallucination, it's real!
It's his wife, yes!
He was not abandoned!
Thinking of this, Zhao Chong immediately reached out and hugged Mrs. Zhao tightly,
As if she was afraid that she would run away as soon as she let go.
Mrs. Zhao paused for a moment, and then raised her hand and gently patted Zhao Chong's back.
"I didn't want to leave you, I just went to deal with some things, and I didn't expect to lose time. ”
Yes, Mrs. Zhao originally calculated the time she could arrive before Zhao Chong came back,
But I didn't expect a bit of traffic jam on the road, so I came back late.
As soon as she entered the door and saw the two empty wine bottles and Zhao Chong's stunned state, she knew that Zhao Chong had misunderstood.
Zhao Chong didn't say anything, just mumbled sullenly.
But Mrs. Zhao heard a thick nasal voice,
Zhao Chong cried?!
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly let go of Zhao Chong, and sure enough, she saw the tears on his face that he hadn't had time to wipe away,
I have mixed feelings.
No matter what happened in the past, I never saw Zhao Chong shed a single tear,
But today I thought she was gone, so I cried,
Mrs. Zhao was happy and uncomfortable,
Glad is that Zhao Chong takes her very seriously, and it is difficult for Zhao Chong to feel insecure.
Thinking of Zhao Chong's upbringing, Mrs. Zhao was even more determined to be by his side.
