Chapter 12: Grinding

On Sunday, Niu Yuehong asked Zhao Qingsong to go to the mall together.

Zhao Qingsong, like most men, has no interest in shopping malls, so he has to cheer up in order to meet his girlfriend's request.

They ran from the east of the city to the west of the city, and almost ran all the major shopping malls in Anxi.

Niu Yuehong picks and chooses in the pile of children's clothes, always dissatisfied with this and dissatisfied.

Zhao Qingsong pointed to a set of white clothes and pants and said, "This is good." ”

Niu Yuehong shook her head resolutely.

Zhao Qingsong pointed to a green skirt and said, "This should be good, right?"

Niu Yuehong still shook her head.

After turning around for most of the day, Niu Yuehong finally chose a bright red children's dress.

When she was satisfied and ready to pay, she found that her wallet was missing. She was so angry that her feet jumped straight up, and loudly blamed Zhao Qingsong for not taking a good look at her wallet and losing all her month's salary, and asked him to report the case quickly.

Zhao Qingsong shook his head with a wry smile, took out his own money to pay for Niu Yuehong, and gave her some living expenses.

Niu Yuehong walked in front with children's clothes in her hand and pouting.

Zhao Qingsong followed behind with a helpless face.

On Monday morning, only Niu Yuehong and Ding Yan arrived on time in the office of the broadcasting team as always.

Niu Xinfang took out the red dress from a paper bag, unfolded it carefully, and solemnly presented it in front of Ding Yan: "Teacher Ding, what do you think of this dress?"

Ding Yan thought that Niu Yuehong was bought for his relatives, so he praised: "Well, it's good." The colors and styles are very fashionable. ”

Niu Yuehong smiled and said, "I heard that your daughter is very beautiful. I like little girls the most. As an aunt, it's always okay for me to give her a small gift, right?"

Ding Yan didn't know how to refuse Niu Yuehong, so he could only shake his head helplessly: "You, you, you will calculate me." ”

Although he felt that Niu Yuehong had a bit of a philistine atmosphere, he had a trace of pity and emotion: it was not easy for a girl from the countryside below to settle down in a big city. She does have the right to fight for her own chance of survival.

In all fairness. Chunyan, who usually only comes to work slowly until 12 o'clock, entered the office unconsciously.

At a glance, she saw the children's dress on Ding Yan's desk. The clever Chunyan immediately guessed eight or nine points, and deliberately sarcastically said: "Team Leader Ding, I dare to conclude that this is not your vision." Only children in the countryside wear such clothes. ”

Ding Yan couldn't hide the embarrassment on his face, and said angrily: "Okay! Don't talk nonsense! This is a gift I want to give to the children in my hometown." ”

Chunyan didn't care about Ding Yan's face, and continued to dismantle the stage unrelentingly: "Come on." People all over the world know that your hometown is Beijing. How could a child in the capital Beijing want such tacky and rustic clothes?"

Niu Yuehong and Ding Yan's faces were red and white, and they each looked at the newspapers and periodicals on the table, and no one paid any attention to Chunyan.

Chunyan was also interested, took out a new pair of sunglasses from the desk drawer and put them on, and then walked away like a whirlwind.

Since then, Ding Yan believes that he is responsible for Niu Yuehong's growth as the team leader, not because of two dogfish and a dress, but because of her strong and unyielding character that moves him. Moreover, Niu Yuehong's voice quality is crisp and powerful, and she is a good seedling for anchoring current political news. After a period of training and training, she will definitely take the lead.

Therefore, Ding Yan regarded tutoring Niu Yuehong as a particularly important task.

Niu Yuehong did not live up to Ding Yan's expectations, she studied very hard, and her work was also conscientious and impeccable.

After a busy day's work, Niu Yuehong still has to go to the high school cram school every Monday, Wednesday and Friday night to study high school courses, wearing the stars and the moon, rain or shine.

Zhao Qingsong loves Niu Yuehong very much, as long as there is no work task at night, he always picks up Niu Yuehong at the TV station after work and accompanies her to the cram school.

Niu Yuehong in the classroom. Zhao Qingsong stood at the school gate and waited for Niu Yuehong. After a long time, Zhao Qingsong and the old man who guarded the door also became acquaintances.

One night, the janitor's son brought his granddaughter to bring him dinner.

Zhao Qingsong looked at the red dress worn by the little girl and the one Niu Yuehong bought, so he asked the little girl: "Little girl, your dress is so beautiful, where did you buy it?"

The little girl flashed her big eyes, shook her head, and said, "I don't know either." ”

The little girl's father replied, "We didn't buy it." It was given to her by her aunt on her birthday last week. ”

Niu Yuehong just came out of class, and she also saw the little girl's red dress, so she picked up and asked, "What is her aunt's name?"

The little girl's father replied, "Wei Lin." Do you know my sister?"

Niu Yuehong didn't feel her heart sink after hearing this. She seemed to remember that Ding Yan's lover was also surnamed Wei, and she couldn't remember what it was for a while.

She took Zhao Qingsong's hand and quickly left the school gate. She was very unhappy in her heart, but she didn't want Zhao Qingsong to know that Ding Yan had transferred the dress they bought with their hearts as a gift to others.

One afternoon, when she was about to get off work, Huang Wendao, director of the business department, suddenly found Niu Yuehong and whispered to her that the leader was going to have a banquet for the leaders of a bureau in Anxi City in the evening, thanked the other party for taking care of the TV station at work, and asked Niu Yuehong to accompany the guests.

Niu Yuehong couldn't believe her ears. The guests invited by the front desk leaders were all called Shang Chunyan and other famous anchors, and it was their turn today? The sun really rose in the west!

Niu Yuehong was naturally very excited to see that the leader valued her, and secretly warned that she must successfully complete the task assigned by Director Huang. She hurriedly ran back to the dormitory to wash up and dress up, sprayed a lot of perfume given to her by Zhao Qingsong, and then followed Huang Wendao to the hotel.

The dinner was very grand. The leaders of the two sides introduced each other and enjoyed themselves.

Niu Yuehong noticed that except for herself as an ordinary worker, everyone else was a leader. However, when introducing himself, the leader of the station said this: "This is Niu Yuehong, a young and promising and energetic news anchor of our Anxi TV station!"

The eyes of the guests glowed with admiration and surprise, as if they had seen a popular movie star.

Niu Yuehong stood up with a spring breeze on her face, smiling and nodding to the guests, giving people a feeling of both reserved and cute, shy and generous.

The arrival of Niu Yuehong added charming colors and endless topics to the dinner.

Niu Yuehong also lived up to her mission, and frequently toasted the guests according to the gestures of the Taiwan leaders, coaxing the guests to drink a lot of wine but were very happy.

During the banquet, a fat old man who was so drunk that he was red walked up to Niu Yuehong, saying that he was toasting Niu Yuehong, but he kept holding her little hand tightly and chatting with each other.

Niu Yuehong wanted to withdraw her hand, but she was afraid of offending the guests, so she was in a dilemma.

Everyone else was guessing and drinking, and they were in the mood, and they didn't have time to take care of her predicament.

Niu Yuehong's heart is very unsuitable for such an occasion and atmosphere, after all, she is still an unmarried girl, but she is eager to perform herself well in front of the station leaders, save the face lost in the first broadcast, and grit her teeth and persist until the end of the banquet.

Niu Yuehong returned to the dormitory and immediately went into the bathroom, turned on the tap and cursed the obscene fat old man in her heart, while rinsing her hands repeatedly with cold tap water until the skin on her hands became red.

Since Niu Yuehong last attended the dinner, Anxi TV began to circulate such an eye-catching news: Niu Yuehong is the secret weapon of the TV station to drink, and she has drunk a lot of guests!

Because of this news, Niu Yuehong's value rose rapidly. As long as there is a difficult drinking situation in the stage, Huang Wendao will definitely notify Niu Yuehong to participate. Because of Niu Yuehong's ability and charm, many outstanding problems of the TV station were successfully solved at the wine table.

After Niu Yuehong participated in a few banquets, she felt like a doll that was used at will. While these activities have improved her situation on television, it is not at all her favorite role. She is not willing to gain a foothold in the TV station with such a special identity. She just wants to be a good news anchor. So, Niu Yuehong began to excuse herself from drinking again and again under the pretext of being unwell.

lost the value of accompanying the wine, and people gradually forgot about her existence.

Soon after, the Anxi City CPC Committee launched a political campaign to send cadres from the city's organs and institutions to the rural areas to carry out socialist education, not only to stay in the rural areas for a year, but also to eat, live, and work with the peasants.

Anzai TV accepted the task of assigning three cadres, one of which was assigned to the business department.

After Ding Yan received the task, he returned to the broadcasting team and convened a meeting to solicit personal wishes: "Who in our broadcasting team is willing to sign up for 'social education'? The registration deadline is before getting off work tomorrow." Next Monday, I will first go to the party school for intensive training, and then I will go down. ”

None of the people in the group squeaked, but they all looked at Niu Yuehong who was sitting in the corner.

Why are you looking at me? Niu Yuehong's heart was indignant. I finally left the countryside, and you tried to beat my mind again. I'm not going!

However, Niu Yuehong knows very well in her heart that other people's work is a radish and a pit, and she really can't get out of it.

She was silent, as if acquiescing to everyone's silent recommendation.

The next afternoon, when it was time to go to work, Niu Yuehong, who went out alone at noon, came back. Strikingly, her left hand hangs from her chest with white gauze and her arm is wrapped in thick gauze.

Xiaoyue exclaimed loudly, "Oops, what's wrong with your arm?"

Niu Yuehong sighed and said sadly: "It's really unlucky. When I went out to run errands at noon, there were a lot of people on the bus I was on. When I got off the train, I was at the front, and the people behind rushed forward, pushing me down on the platform and hitting the curb with my left hand. At that time, I was in so much pain that I almost fainted. With the help of well-wishers, I rushed to the hospital to take an X-ray examination, and the doctor said that he had a fracture. ”

Xiaoyue said with concern: "It takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones." If you have a broken bone, how can you go to the countryside to 'teach'?"

Niu Yuehong sighed deeply again, making others feel that she was very sorry for not being able to go to the countryside.

"How can you prove that your arm is broken?" asked Chunyan word by word, dragging her Jing dialect.

Ding Yan couldn't get used to Chunyan always bullying Niu Yuehong, and criticized Chunyan and said, "You can't see with your eyes? ”

Chunyan ignored Ding Yan and continued to ask, "Is there a certificate from the hospital?"

Niu Yuehong's heart was shocked for a moment: Chunyan is worthy of being a smart person. Why didn't I think about this beforehand?

She disguised her expression and feigned pity and said, "Ahh ”

Chunyan seemed to be Niu Yuehong's leader, and arranged meaningfully: "Okay, I have to remember to bring it tomorrow." ”

The next day, Niu Yuehong really brought a brand new medical record and X-ray. She handed over all the evidence of medical treatment to Ding Yan.

The rest of the broadcast team "hula" and all squeezed behind Ding Yan, their eyes staring at Niu Yuehong's medical records.

It is clearly written in the medical record book: comminuted fracture of the radius of the forearm, rest for a month.

The X-ray also clearly showed that there was an extra piece on the outside of the forearm bone, which was naturally the shattered radius.

Everyone looked at each other and had nothing to say.

Chunyan was unwilling, but she didn't have a handle in her hand, so she "hummed" and left.

In the end, the quota for rural "social education" under the business department was transferred to other departments. The broadcast crew was overjoyed.

On Sunday, Niu Yuehong went to the public security office in the east of the city to go on a date with Zhao Qingsong.

Zhao Qingsong was very surprised to see Niu Yuehong's arm wrapped in thick white gauze. He carefully helped Niu Yuehong to the edge of the bed and sat down, eagerly inquiring about the injury.

Niu Yuehong endured the joy in her heart and told the story of the "social education" quota, and then slowly untied the gauze, revealing a few small wooden boards. She gently broke open the wooden planks that were put together, and then untied the gauze wrapped inside, revealing the arm inside: a chicken leg bone was lying flat on Niu Yuehong's intact arm!

Looking at Zhao Qingsong's puzzled expression, Niu Yuehong couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed proudly.

Only then did Zhao Qingsong understand Niu Yuehong's trick: "You, there are so many ghost ideas!"

Niu Yuehong said proudly: "I, Niu Yuehong, am not a soft egg to be slaughtered. I have to cure these people, and see if they dare to fight my ghost again. ”

Zhao Qingsong felt injustice about Niu Yuehong's experience, and also understood her toughness and strategy, so he said: "You are a fraud, it's not good to let others know." ”

Niu Yuehong immediately retorted: "I was forced to be like this by them. ”

Zhao Qingsong thought for a while, and then said: "Xinguo said that the house we applied for at the Real Estate Bureau will be available next month." I think we'll just clean up and just do the happy event on New Year's Day. This will make it easier for me to take care of you every day. ”

Niu Yuehong nodded seriously while carefully wrapping the gauze.

The situation with the broadcast team is business as usual.

According to their own work tasks, the announcers broadcast, hold meetings, and discuss business every day.

Niu Yuehong also still mops the floor, wipes the table, and sends and receives materials with one hand. If she was dissuaded by well-wishers, she also smiled slightly and explained politely: "No way, I am the life of work, and I panic when I am free." ”

People also slowly got used to Niu Yuehong's approach and no longer dissuaded her.

One day, Niu Yuehong suddenly felt that her stomach was tumbling, and she hurriedly got into the bathroom compartment, and forgot to buckle the door in a panic.

She pulled her left arm out of the suspender as she had done in private, and lifted her pants up with both hands.

It just so happened that Xiaoyue also came in to make it convenient. She casually tried to pull a door that was closing.

The door creaked open.

Xiaoyue saw Niu Yuehong standing in the compartment of the open door, and her hands were comfortably tying her pants.

Suddenly, Xiaoyue and Niu Yuehong were stunned, looking at each other in surprise, unable to speak for a long time.

At this time, laughter came from outside the bathroom door.

Niu Yuehong was in a hurry, pulled Xiaoyue into the partition, quickly closed the door, and then put her finger to her mouth, signaling Xiaoyue not to make a sound.

Xiaoyue had no choice but to nod vigorously, indicating that she was determined to keep the secret, so that Niu Yuehong avoided this earth-shattering difficulty.

Since then, Niu Yuehong and Xiaoyue have become best friends who talk about everything.
