"Warlene, is there any dimethoate?"

"Yes, Auntie, are you going to put medicine in the field?"

"It's hot, it's not raining, and there are many dry insects in the field, so I can't do it without medicine. ”

"Then you should pay attention when you take the medicine, wear good clothes, wear a mask, don't let the medicine get on you, let alone enter the mouth and nose, it is hot, the medicine volatilizes quickly, and it is easy to have an accident. ”

"I pay so much attention to it, it's so hot, I still cover myself tightly and don't die of heat. ”

"Is life important, or is it important to be afraid of heat, auntie, you are an elder, you know better than me. ”

"Of course I know better than you, you don't work in the field all year round, where do you know the way of farming. ”

There weren't many people coming to the store to buy things, so Wallen had nothing to do, found a cloth to cover her mouth and nose, and began to wipe the counter with a wet rag.

The shop was on the side of the road, and there was a constant flow of traffic, and from time to time dust from the vehicles drifted in through the door, and Wallen didn't know how long it had been since her brother had cleaned the shop, and dust was piling up everywhere in the house.

When Liu Lifen entered the store, Warlene had already wiped more than half of the counter, and the contrast between the wiped and the unwiped places was obvious.

After Wallen gave Liu Lifen a bottle of dimethoate, she continued to wipe the counter and chat with Liu Lifen while working.

Seeing that Liu Lifen looked out of the door from time to time, and had no intention of leaving, Wo Lin was curious: "Auntie, are you waiting for someone?"

Liu Lifen never gave money when she came to the store to get things, so Woqiang recorded it in the account book for her, and asked Wo Fei for money at one time at the end of the year.

Of course, it is impossible to get all of them back every year, saving a fraction is a must, listening to Liu Lifen crying that life is not easy, and it is sometimes inevitable to give a few tens or even hundreds of dollars less, in short, how much can be returned, don't expect to come back.

This time Liu Lifen took the pesticide, and Wallen didn't plan to ask Liu Lifen for money, you just asked for it, and Liu Lifen would definitely say that she didn't have money on her, and she must remember to give it next time she brought money.

However, Warlene didn't plan to keep the ledger now, she was busy, and she didn't care about the time for a while, and she would write it down when she was done.

"I made an appointment to meet here, I bought my things, and he hasn't come yet. Liu Lifen walked to the door and looked out.

"Oh. Warlene replied casually, and she didn't pay much attention to Liu Lifen's words.

The store is on the side of the road, and the location is relatively obvious, so it is common for people to meet in front of the store and then go to do something together.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's here. Liu Lifen shouted and waved outside.

Wallen continued to be busy with herself, and when she heard someone enter the store, Wallen looked back and saw that the person who came had no intention of buying anything, and she didn't know the person, so she ignored it and continued to work.

"Vollene, how much is this bottle of dimethoate?" Liu Lifen's question successfully made Warlene's attention focus on the person who came.

Because it was Liu Lifen who asked the question, but it was the young man who had just come in who took out the money, and the young man had already taken out his wallet and was waiting to pay.

Seeing that Warren looked at the young man, Liu Lifen hurriedly introduced to Warlene: "This is my nephew, Liu Xiaowen." ”

Warlene nodded at Liu Xiaowen: "Hello." ”

Liu Xiaowen also nodded at Volin, and the two said hello.

It is rare for Liu Lifen to take the initiative to pay, and Waren is naturally not polite: "This bottle of dimethoate, plus two big bags of laundry detergent and four boxes of toothpaste yesterday, a plastic basin the day before yesterday, two plastic buckets, two baby bottles, and three bags of fertilizer on the day I just went home, you give two hundred and fifty-two, a few cents of a fraction, I will save you." A few cents can buy a lot of needles and threads, you don't have too little. ”

Liu Lifen was anxious: "I'll pay for this bottle of dimethoate first, and I'll give you the rest of the money later." ”

Liu Xiaowen was stunned with his wallet, obviously not enough money.

"Auntie, don't you give money for anything you buy?" Liu Xiaowen took out all the money in his wallet, counted it, and it was less than one hundred and two, and handed it to Warlene, "That's all." ”

He has to hand over his salary slip to his mother every month, and after this month's salary is handed over to his mother, there is so much money left.

Warlene returned the gross ticket and coins to Liu Xiaowen: "Just give me a whole number, so that you can keep accounts." ”

This time I have a fraction, and next time I have to save it, if I don't save it, Liu Lifen will make trouble, and my brother bargains with the manufacturer every cent when he buys the goods, and the money is hard-earned, not by the wind.

Liu Lifen explained: "What do I do is always lost, your uncle is afraid that I will lose the money, so he generally doesn't bring me money." ”

Afraid that her nephew would lose herself, Liu Lifen hurriedly changed the topic: "Wo Lin, you pour me Xiaowen a glass of water to drink, he rode a bicycle from the town for several miles to our village, this sweat, don't drink water." ”

Wallen didn't move: "Oh, you guys go to the back, drink the water and pour it yourself, you see my hands are dirty." ”

Usually there is no need to invite, Liu Lifen follows her own family when she enters the store, she takes whatever she wants, wants to drink water or is hungry, so she goes to the yard behind the store and picks the daylily planted in the yard.

"Let's go, let's go to the back and cool off. Liu Lifen took the lead through the counter and went to the back of the store.

Liu Xiaowen was still a little hesitant, feeling that it was too casual to run to someone's backyard when they met for the first time.

"Xiaowen, why don't you come in, aren't you thirsty?" Liu Lifen shouted in the courtyard.

If he didn't go in, his aunt didn't know what else to shout, and Liu Xiaowen had no choice but to go to the backyard.

The backyard is very simple, a pergola is built along the back wall of the store, a stainless steel kettle sits on the briquette stove under the pergola, which can boil water at any time to drink, and there are large glass kettles for cold boiled water on the table next to it, as well as a few upside-down glass cups, and a few plastic stools stacked next to the table.

In the center of the yard is a daylily plant, and around it are common vegetables, cucumbers, tomatoes, green onions, and leeks.

Liu Lifen poured a glass of water for herself and Liu Xiaowen, lifted the lid of the enamel basin under the table, took a baked cake from it, drank water while eating the baked cake, and asked Liu Xiaowen if she wanted to eat the baked cake.

Sometimes the shop is busy, especially when the fertilizer and film are spread, the villagers come to the store to buy, and often have to help Wo Qiang send it to the field, Wo Qiang is too busy to take care of going home to eat, and he often forgets to eat the food he is given, and when he thinks about it, the rice is already lumpy.

Fertile soil thought of a way to put some food in the enamel basin with a lid, so that Woqiang could feed himself in a hurry.

Over time, this habit has been formed, no matter what the season, who is in the store to support, the enamel basin is always indispensable to eat, hungry can be hungry, when not hungry can also chew in the mouth, chat to relieve boredom.

Liu Xiaowen frowned: "We just ate noodles in the restaurant in the town, why are you hungry again?"

Liu Lifen snorted: "I'm not hungry for you, why are you so conscienceless!"

Liu Xiaowen invited Liu Lifen to finish eating in the town, Liu Xiaowen took Liu Lifen over by bicycle, and then according to the method discussed during the meal, Liu Lifen went to the store first, and Liu Xiaowen stayed outside in the shade of the tree, waiting for Liu Lifen to gesture before coming in.

Liu Xiaowen was depressed, her aunt was taking advantage of the star, and she said it so high-soundingly.

He wanted to go into the store and talk to Warleen, but he hesitated when he remembered the dust that filled the room.

While still hesitating, Warlene had already carried a bucket into the courtyard to change the water, poured the muddy water that had been wiped over the counter into the vegetable garden, and took more than half a bucket of clean water under the faucet, and carried it into the store.

Liu Xiaowen drank the water in the cup in one go, and went into the store to chat with Warin: "I heard that you work in a big hospital in the south?"

"It's not big, it's just a prefecture-level hospital, and it can't be compared with the big hospitals in the province. Warlene continued her work.

As soon as Liu Xiaowen called Aunt Liu Lifen just now, Warlene guessed what was going on, and then Liu Xiaowen directly said that she worked in the hospital, and Warlene was sure that this Liu Xiaowen was Liu Lifen's nephew who was a doctor in the town hospital.

Obviously, this is a marriage proposal, and she came to meet people directly, but Warlene was disgusted and very cold to Liu Xiaowen.

Volin's answer sounded quite arrogant to Liu Xiaowen, and his family was afraid that he would not be able to afford him to go to college, so he refused to let him take the college entrance examination, and told him clearly that even if he was admitted to college, his family would not pay a penny.

He is unwilling, no matter whether he can get into college or not, after studying for so many years, how can he not even take the college entrance examination.

Despite the opposition of his family, he borrowed money to pay the examination fee, took the college entrance examination, and was not only admitted, but also admitted to his ideal medical university, but the reality is that the family really can't afford to pay for his tuition.

It just so happened that the town had a student aid policy that year, and poor students who were admitted to medical schools and normal colleges could apply to the town for full or partial tuition assistance, but this was conditional.

Students who apply must sign a contract with the town, and after graduation, students must return to their hometown to serve, depending on the amount of subsidized tuition, determine the number of years of service, and only leave after the service is completed, otherwise the liquidated damages will be paid several times.

In order to be able to go to college, Liu Xiaowen did not hesitate to sign a contract with the town.

After five years of medical university, he has seen the outside world, and he is unwilling to return to work in the town hospital or even the village health station, but if he breaches the contract and cannot get the liquidated damages, what awaits him after graduation can only be a summons from the court.

As a last resort, he went back to work in the town hospital in his hometown, and he had to face his mother's salary every month.

"What conditions do doctors have to ask for admission to your hospital?" Liu Xiaowen asked, with an element of anger.

"Well, if you want to enter our hospital as a doctor, at least you have to be an undergraduate, if you want to enter the clinical department, you must be a key undergraduate, and the general undergraduates can only be doctors in auxiliary departments, such as radiology, electrocardiogram, B-ultrasound room, laboratory department, etc., medical students who graduated from a junior college can't be doctors when they enter our hospital, they can only be technicians. Wallen said as she thought, with a pause in between.

In fact, she can say these conditions in one breath, but she doesn't want to stimulate Liu Xiaowen too much, lest Liu Xiaowen be too angry and make enemies with her, and when she goes to work, Liu Xiaowen vents her hatred on her family, and it will be troublesome.

After all, the family still has to live on this land, and people will have a headache and brain fever, and they will inevitably deal with doctors. But this is just her wishful thinking, Liu Xiaowen has been stimulated by her.

"What kind of treatment will the graduate student receive when he enters your hospital?" Liu Xiaowen resisted the urge to turn his head and leave, and continued to ask.

Warlene felt that Liu Xiaowen's tone was wrong, so she glanced at Liu Xiaowen and found that Liu Xiaowen's face was red, and she said in her heart that this guy wouldn't be so unbearable, just a few words from himself, he couldn't stand it.

It's his business that you can't withstand the blow, I'm just telling the truth, who told you to ask.

Warlene didn't bother to pay attention to Liu Xiaowen's emotions, after the counter was wiped and the glass window was wiped again, she said while working: "The treatment of graduate students is very good, as soon as they enter the hospital, they will be assigned a family room, regardless of whether they are married or not. ”

Seeing that Liu Xiaowen didn't react much, Warlene suddenly remembered that this was in the countryside, and the unit did not have a room division at all, and the employees usually lived at home, so it was estimated that Liu Xiaowen was not aware of the room division.

Warlene then added: "The hospital also has a monthly subsidy of 1,000 yuan for graduate students. ”

A thousand bucks?

Liu Xiaowen felt that his heart skipped a beat, a thousand yuan is not a small amount, this is just a subsidy, if you add salary and bonuses, the income is really not low, no wonder so many of his classmates want to be admitted to graduate school.

At the beginning, some classmates studied hard to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination, but he didn't take it too seriously, even if he was admitted to the graduate school and didn't have the money to pay the town's liquidated damages, he still couldn't go to study, so it was better not to bother with that.

Now listening to Vorin talk about this, his heart is mixed, the contract he signed with the town is three years, and he will stay in the town hospital for two years, and after two years, he wants to go to the higher level hospital, how difficult it is, the starting point is too low, how can the higher level hospital look at him.

But if he is admitted to graduate school, he will have to study for three years, and he will be almost thirty years old after graduation.

He has only been working for a year now, and his family is already anxious to find a partner for him, after serving in the town hospital for three years, it is estimated that he has children, how can he still have any mind to go to graduate school, and where does he have so much time to review his homework.

Liu Xiaowen is just thinking about things here, Wo Lin is so happy that no one bothers her, after wiping the two glass windows, and then wiping the fertilizer bags piled up on the floor, wipe them clean, people look comfortable when they come to buy them, isn't it?

After changing the water in and out a few times, the room was almost wiped clean, Liu Xiaowen was still standing there in a daze, and Wo Lin was a little scared in her heart, this guy would not be stimulated by herself.

"Hey, please let me go," Warlene walked up to Liu Xiaowen with a bucket, "It's just that you haven't wiped it here yet." ”

In fact, she has already wiped it, she did it on purpose, to see if this guy is really crazy.

"Huh?" Liu Xiaowen came to his senses and quickly stepped aside, his eyes returning to the same clarity as before.

Warlene breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in her heart why her mother hadn't come to change herself, as long as her mother was there, how far Liu Lifen would slip away and hide, and her mother's reading skills had made Liu Lifen like a frightened bird.

As long as Liu Lifen is gone, the guy in front of her should go.

"What other benefits do graduate students in your hospital have?" Liu Xiaowen suddenly spoke, startling Warlene.

Warlene is going crazy, and there's no end to it.

Her tone was impatient: "I heard that entering the hospital is a junior title, and the years of graduate school are also considered seniority, the salary benchmark is higher than others, and the title is fast, I know this, and I just heard about it." ”

"Got it, thank you!" Liu Xiaowen strode out of the store, and Warlene watched through the glass window as he rode away on his bike.

When Liu Lifen felt that something was wrong and chased out, Liu Xiaowen had already disappeared.

"What did you talk about?" asked Volin about it, returning to the store.

Wallen ignored her stubble, looked at her watch, and said to herself, "Why hasn't my mother come yet, I'm starving to death!"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Lifen turned her head and left, at that speed, as if someone was chasing her behind her.

Wallen laughed out loud unkindly.
