Chapter 64: Selling Blood for Money
One day, Yun Zhi came to the dormitory and told us that the boss asked him to find a few people among us construction workers to donate blood for the company, saying that it was free blood donation, but the boss would give us a subsidy money. Whoever has a blood test, the boss will subsidize 800 yuan per person.
That's good news for me. Because I have studied physical hygiene, I know that donating blood is not only not harmful, but also beneficial. Besides, don't you want to learn to be a chef and have no money? Maybe if you take a blood test, you can get a subsidy of 800 yuan.
With these ideas, I consulted with Yunhua, and Yunhua agreed.
He asked Yun Zhi to sign up for me.
We were joined by Changqi, who played chess well, and another middle-aged man from the village. The day before the blood donation, a middle-aged woman in charge of the construction company came to meet with us.
She told us not to have breakfast tomorrow morning, and to follow her to the Chongwenmen Blood Station. We all said yes.
The next day, we followed the woman to the Chongwenmen Blood Station. When the blood test was about to be taken again, the middle-aged woman said that there was something wrong and left for a while. At this moment, the middle-aged man who came with us said that he was hungry, so he went out to buy two steamed buns to eat.
After a while, the woman came back and led us to a blood test. When the doctor who took the blood test asked us if we had eaten, all three of us said no, and the middle-aged man said he had eaten two buns. When the blood tester heard about it, he told him to go home.
He asked why. The doctor said that you can't donate blood after eating. The woman from the construction company who brought us heard about it and complained about him and gave him the fare to go home. The man went back without remorse.
After he left, the blood tests of the three of us all met the standards, but the three of us showed three blood types, I was blood type B, Yunhua was blood type A, and Changqi was blood type AB.
After the three of us finished donating blood, the woman from the company handed us the blood tonic food we had bought in advance and left. To be honest, I was a little scared when I donated blood. When I saw the blood on my body enter the blood donation bag with the hose, I was indeed a little reluctant.
After donating blood, the blood station also issued us a blood donation certificate. The use of the blood donation certificate is that if someone needs a blood transfusion within three years or one's immediate family members or collateral relatives, with this blood donation card, you can use blood for free.
Because you've donated blood for others, you deserve this compensation. I'm a very sloppy person, and I lost the blood donation card just a few days after I got it. However, there were no incidents to my immediate and collateral family members during those three years.
After returning to the construction team, the foreman and Yunzhi said that they would not let us go to work and that they would have a good rest for a few days. Then the next day we went to collect the subsidy and could borrow some money in advance.
I received a subsidy of 800 yuan, borrowed another 400 yuan, and added up to 1,200 yuan. I finally got my wish to learn to be a chef. So, I discussed with Yunhua.
I told Yunhua that I used to like to listen to the radio when I was at home, and I heard the radio say that we have a Huazhong Technical School in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, and I want to go there to study.
Yunhua said that there are many chef schools in Beijing, so why go to Henan. "Tuition is expensive here," I said, "and we only charge more than 400 yuan in Henan." ”
"You can go if you want. Yunhua said. "Then you still can't learn to be a salesman?" "Learn," Yunhua said, "but I want to learn here." ”
So, I found Yunzhi and told him that I was going back to learn to cook. Because I just donated blood for the company, Yunzhi's impression of me was a little better, so he said to me: "If you want to go back, you can go back, if you don't come, I will help you bring the rest of the money back to the New Year." ”
I said, "Okay. "It just so happened that there was a boy about my age in our village who was going home to get engaged, so we took the bus home together. But that boy is not on the same team as me, he is familiar with noodles.
I remember when we were in school in the village, he seemed to be one class later than me. In other words, he and Yoshi-so are classmates. When I was in my third year of junior high school, their class was one of the most naughty and mischievous classes, and this one was also one of the naughty students.
He was mischievous but listened to Liangxiu, and they always did lawless things together, so I remember him a little. However, this young man looked down on me very much, and he always showed a look of contempt when he spoke to me.
I think the reason why he is like this is because he didn't get good grades in school, he envied me and I'm not as good as him now, and he wants to see me laugh, and second, because he knows that he is younger than me and is going to be engaged, but I am still single.
Although I knew this in my heart, people only showed it on their faces, and they didn't say anything, and besides, we were road companions, so we had to pretend not to care.
However, I said to myself in my heart that I must marry a wife before him, so as not to be laughed at by him. It was this decision that almost killed me. That's of course an afterthought.
On the way to the train station, I discussed with him that in order to save money, we could buy a short-distance ticket and take a long-distance bus mixed ticket. What is to buy a short-distance ticket? That is, we originally went to Nanyang, Henan, and we should have taken it 189 times, but I didn't buy Nanyang, and only sold it to Handan, Hebei.
In this way, if you don't check the ticket halfway, you can save dozens of dollars. He didn't do it, so I bought a ticket to Handan, Hebei by myself. The number of trains is still 189. We got in the same car.
I was prepared that if the police checked the ticket, I could make up the ticket.
I'm really lucky. Although I was so scared all the way that I couldn't even fall asleep, I sat all the way to Nanyang Railway Station, and the police didn't check the ticket once. It seems that I am frightened in vain.
However, I wanted to mix up the ticket, and I didn't dare to leave the ticket gate after getting off the bus, so I parted ways with the boy.
