The management cadre threw his work card away, smiled coldly, and said:

"Your father's surname is Xue, you are your father's daughter, how can your brother's surname be Zhao? No! Absolutely not. We have a rule here that non-immediate family members cannot meet. ”

Xue Kemei was ashamed and angry, she wanted to slap herself in the mouth. She didn't want to be so meticulous at the time.

"Comrade, can you ...... trouble you to send these things in for me. Xue Kemei said pleading with tears in his eyes.

The management cadre looked at the things that Zhao Tiangang was carrying, hesitated, and said:

"Well, we can help. ”

"Thank you ...... then. Xue Kemei saw that they accepted it, and thought to himself, even if he didn't see his parents, giving them things would be better than coming for nothing.

By the time they returned to the provincial capital, all the rooms in the guest house had long since been gone. Moreover, even if they didn't return, the two of them couldn't live at all because they didn't have a letter of introduction.

What should I do? I don't even have a place to sleep now? Xue Kemei looked at the vast flow of people on the street, and felt a little anxious.

Zhao Tiangang was not in a hurry at all. He said:

"Let's take one step at a time, let's eat first. After eating, let's figure it out. Xue Kemei thought to himself, it's a big deal to take the train back today. Thinking of this, she followed Zhao Tiangang into a restaurant.

The two of them were eating while thinking about their own thoughts.

Seeing Xue Kemei's sad face, Zhao Tiangang said:

"You don't have to worry, there will be a way. "He had a good appetite, and after a day's walk, he was really hungry at this time.

Xue Kemei took a few bites, then put down his chopsticks and said:

"Otherwise, let's take the train home tonight. ”

"Take the train home?" Zhao Tiangang glared and asked, "No, it's too tiring, I can't stand it." ”

"Then if ...... don't take the train home, what should I do tonight? I can't be on the street, right?" Xue Kemei knew that he didn't bring a letter of introduction, and the hotel wouldn't take them in, so she couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Zhao Tiangang saw Xue Kemei's anxious appearance, and couldn't help laughing:

"Look at your urgency. Don't worry, I have my own way. ”

"Do you have a way, what is the way?" Xue Kemei was a little skeptical in his heart, not believing what he said.

Zhao Tiangang looked at Xue Kemei and said mysteriously:

"As long as you follow me, there will be a place to sleep. ”

"What do you mean by ...... you say this?" Xue Kemei's face immediately changed when she heard this, she pushed her rice bowl, stood up, stared straight at him with her eyes, and asked.

"Where do you want to go, look at the way I scared you like this, am I the one who scares you like this?" Zhao Tiangang laughed again when he saw her look so serious.

Xue Kemei looked at him suspiciously, looking at him, it didn't look like he was joking with her.

"You sit down. Listen as I go on. Zhao Tiangang pulled Xue Kemei and asked her to sit down.

Xue Kemei looked at Zhao Tiangang's expression, hesitated, and sat down again.

"In this way, we will go to our factory office in a while and find Lao Gao. He knows him well here, and he can always find us a place to sleep, don't you think that's the truth?"

When Xue Kemei heard this, he believed his words. She rolled her eyes at him and said:

"Since you already have this solution in mind, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I just wanted to tease you. Look at what kind of expression you have. Zhao Tiangang said this, and smiled maliciously.

Xue Kemei glanced at him, turned his face away, and ignored him.

After eating, Zhao Tiangang led Xue Kemei to the provincial office of the cement factory again.

Lao Gao, that is, the director of the cement factory's office in the provincial capital, listened to the situation of the two, touched his chin with his hand and thought for a while, and said:

"Letter of introduction, although the official seal of my office here is not as authoritative as that of the factory. But you might as well give it a try. Speaking of which, isn't it just to prove your identity? Xiao Xue, you take the letter of introduction I opened here tomorrow, go again, and come back again. ”

"Can it work?" Xue Kemei heard Lao Gao say this, and she seemed to see a glimmer of hope on her face.

"Give it a try. "Lao Gao is very enthusiastic. He immediately opened the drawer, took out the letterhead, and quickly wrote a letter of introduction, then stamped it with the official seal and handed it to Xue Kemei. "If it doesn't work, let's think about it. ”

Xue Kemei respectfully took the letter of introduction, folded it carefully, and then put it in her pocket, her heart was full of gratitude, and she said:

"Thank you. Without this thing, people ignore you. ”

The three of them talked about some other topics, and finally, Lao Gao said:

"It's not early, tomorrow, you have to get up early, we have three rooms in our office, if not, you can make up here for a night." ”

The next day, Xue Kemei took the letter of introduction from Lao Gao and came to Wuqi Cadre School again.

It was yesterday's management cadre who received them.

He looked at the official seal of the provincial office of the cement factory, hesitated for a moment, and finally said:

"It stands to reason that it is best to take the official seal of your factory, but considering your actual situation, it is not easy to run three more times, so let's go in. Remember, in the future, you must complete all the relevant procedures. After speaking, he let Xue Kemei and Zhao Tiangang in.

After entering, a man led them to wait in the reception room. It was almost noon when these trainees of labor training lined up and walked back from the farmland with agricultural tools.

When Xue Kemei saw her parents, she immediately pounced, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes:

"Mom, how have you been doing all these years, how is your health?"

Xue Kemei's mother, who is already in her early fifties, hugged her daughter's shoulders and burst into tears. After a while, she looked at Xue Kemei carefully again and said:

"Don't worry Mom, Mom is very good here, you see, Mom eats more now than before, and her body is stronger than before. Moreover, sleeping is not like in the past, always having headaches and insomnia. ”

After reading her mother, Xue Kemei came to her father standing on the side again.

Xue Kemei's father is very handsome, and he looks like a very cultivated intellectual. He took his daughter's hand and asked her in detail about her situation over the years. In the end, he comforted his daughter:

"Meimei, you are alone outside, you have to learn to take care of yourself. You don't have to worry about me here, nothing is a big problem. Here, it's planting the land every day, and we are also taken care of here, and the conditions seem to be a little harder, but it's nothing. We ate pretty well. ”

After hearing these words, and seeing that her parents' bodies were okay, Xue Kemei's heart that had been hanging over the years finally let go.

The leader of Ganxiao specially gave Xue Kemei's parents a half-day vacation so that their family could get together. Xue Kemei also stayed here for a night. Until the next day, she and Zhao Tian just took a long-distance bus back to the provincial capital.

On the way back to the car, Xue Kemei's mood was obviously much better. Bored in the car, she talks more. She told Zhao Tiangang about some interesting things her parents had done to him when she was a child.

Zhao Tiangang listened while secretly thinking, it is really refreshing for people to be happy on happy occasions, Xue Kemei saw her parents, and his mood was much better, and he took the initiative to talk to him so many things for the first time. Moreover, he clearly felt that this girl's attitude towards him had changed a little now. It made him feel very happy.

After returning to the provincial capital, they had lunch, Xue Kemei wanted to go home, Zhao Tiangang shook his head, he was unwilling:

"Let's go back to Liaoyuan now, at least we have to take the train for almost ten hours, and when we get there, it's the middle of the night, and we can't go back home, are you going to sleep at the train station? ”

Xue Kemei knew that what he said was very reasonable, but she always felt a little awkward with him, so she proposed to take the train home in the afternoon. Later, when I heard him say this, I thought about it, instead of staying there in the middle of the night, it was better to stay here for an afternoon.

So, after buying tickets for the night's train, they walked out of the train station.

They looked up at the clock in the middle of the train station building, it was only one o'clock, and it was still early.

How do you spend these few hours in the afternoon?

Do you want to go back to the office?

Xue Kemei didn't want to trouble people anymore. Also, it's not close to the office.

"Let's go, it's still too early to leave the car, what are you doing here? Zhao Tiangang said.

Xue Kemei looked at Zhao Tiangang and stood up a little reluctantly.

The two of them walked slowly on the street, I don't know how far they walked, and finally, their feet also felt a little tired, at this time, Zhao Tiangang found a movie theater in front of him, and he said happily:

"Let's go, there's a movie theater in front, let's go inside and watch a movie, and take a break by the way." ”

Xue Kemei was also tired from walking and wanted to find a place to rest. So, they walked to the door of the cinema.

"Cotai Strip ......"

Zhao Tiangang stretched his neck, and when he looked at the words on a small blackboard hanging on the ticket window, his face looked a little regretful, but then he said:

“…… Okay, let's go, let's go in and have a look. It's a little better than watching a model show. As soon as he finished saying this, he immediately realized that this sentence was wrong and would bring danger to himself, so he hurriedly looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he said to Xue Kemei:

"I'm not saying that the model show is bad, it's just that it's too noisy, and I've watched it I don't know how many times. ”
