Chapter 9: There's a Chance.
Du Ruoruo hurriedly said, "You drove and hit someone?" Are you alright, are you hurt? ”
I thought to myself, this girl has a problem with her brain, right? He drove into someone, can he be injured? But from what she saw this person's reaction, she knew that there must be a relationship between them. Isn't it a target?
Immediately after Du Ruoruo's next sentence, it made people completely unhappy, although her voice was small, it still fell clearly in our ears.
"I think they can go like this, but if you drive a car and know that you have money, and you want to blackmail, you don't want to be deceived. I don't know what rural people are like? Don't worry, I'll deal with them! ”
After she finished speaking, she walked directly in front of me, and she was menacing.
But without waiting for her to speak, I sneered directly: "We are not class enemies, and we have not done anything bad, why do you want to say this about us?" ”
Du Ruoruo quickly glanced at Director Chen, and saw that he didn't react, so he said to me: "I'm in a hurry, I didn't think about it, Nizi, my words are not rough, people can't be short-minded, and when they see that other people's conditions are good, they just rely on it, which will only make people look down on the people in our village." ”
"You're so sure I've done something unreasonable? Then if there is any case, there is no need for the comrades from the police station, just catch the rural people and shoot them directly. You seem to be from the village, right? Are you sure you're not scolding yourself by saying that? ”
Director Chen glanced at me and raised his eyebrows.
Du Ruoruo hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that... I didn't say anything, where did you get such a big temper! She glanced at Director Chen aggrievedly.
"You think it's nothing, but I can't listen to it in my heart, I'm not very familiar with you, why are you so looked down upon!" I pushed back coldly.
Mom hit me: "Why are you talking, Nizi! ”
"You have followed Director Chen to see a doctor, don't you just want to blackmail?" She finally couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily.
Director Chen's cold and stiff facial features were expressionless: "She was injured to protect public property, so I took her to see her legs, don't think about it." ”
Du Ruoruo's face changed, coughed a few times, put his hands in his white coat, and smiled at him reluctantly: "It seems that it was a misunderstanding, she is fine, then I will register her number." ”
"No, there's no queue here. You go get busy. "Director Chen is still very cold.
Du Ruoruo bit her lip, nodded at him, and walked away with her neck tilted up, without looking at us. If it weren't for my mom over there, I really wanted to go up and talk to her about why I look down on people so much!
Director Chen gave us the number of orthopedics, and what happened just now was as if it hadn't happened.
I wore a lot of clothes in winter, but fortunately my grandmother made it for me, and the trouser legs were very fat, so I directly pushed the cotton pants and the inner line pants together, so that the doctor could see that the right leg and knee were blue.
Director Chen turned his head before he saw me push my pants up.
The doctor said: "It's nothing, don't move when you go home, don't run or jump, just put on some plaster, don't hurt your bones." ”
My mother and I breathed a sigh of relief together, Director Chen helped us buy medicine at the pharmacy, and also bought a bottle of canned food and a pound or two of apples outside. It was already very good at that time.
When he left, he also gave me ten yuan: "Buy whatever you want, and replenish your nutrition." ”
My mother and I hurriedly refused, this was not a small amount, and we would earn three or four yuan a day working outside.
Director Chen put the money in his mother's hand strongly: "You can take it." If there is any problem with your daughter's leg in the future, go to the second construction engineering team to find me, the factory in front, my name is Chen Jian. With that, he turned and walked out.
Mom pulled me to leave, I thought about it, and suddenly limped to catch up: "Director Chen, you wait a minute!" ”
"What's wrong?" Chen Jian looked back at me.
"I want to ask your engineering team, do you want workers?"
Chen Jian was stunned for a moment, looked at me and said, "Do you want to come to work?" ”
"Hmmm! I want to make money. I bit my lip and said, "I don't have a degree, but I'm very hard-working." ”
"But the engineering team is basically done by men, what can a little girl like you do?"
"I can do anything, I can cook, I can clean, and I can do a little bit of work on the construction site."
After being abandoned by Liao Qiang in his previous life, he was desperate for a while and went to the construction site to get sand, I just want to make money now, and I don't care if the job is very hard.
Chen Jian thought for a moment, and then said, "I understand." Then you can try it tomorrow, our canteen is just short of a miscellaneous one. ”
I looked at him in surprise and nodded hurriedly, I had sent a boxed lunch over there and knew the address.
Chen Jian said again: "You...... Do you know how to read? ”
I nodded vigorously; "I don't just know how to read, I can also settle accounts!"
Although I only graduated from elementary school, I knew almost all the words because I watched the menu and watched TV later. I also counted some simple income and expenditure records in the house.
Chen Jian nodded and said, "Okay." You're very promising, so go when the time comes, and tell them that I let you go. ”
I thanked him vigorously, and my mood became very good, but I didn't expect an unexpected help to let me know the director of an engineering team.
I can also go to the construction site to work, and sure enough, I must do good deeds!
When we separated, we happened to see Du Ruoruo standing on the opposite road. She kept looking at Director Chen, looking a little anxious, but Chen Jian just nodded at her, strode away, and didn't go over to talk to her, Du Ruoruo pursed her lips, didn't speak, turned around and went to the hospital.
I was curious about the relationship between the two, but he was too cold, and it had nothing to do with me, so I didn't speak.
I told my mom about going to work on the construction site, but there was no surprise in her eyes.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Nizi, I don't think you should go to the construction site to work." ”
I knew what she was worried about, so I smiled and said, "Mom! We are making money, walking straight, what are we afraid of? I'm not going to hang out with those people, what are you worried about? ”
"But always be with a group of old men, the people in the village will talk."
"I don't care what their mouths say, I'm going to make money. This engineering team is state-owned, not a small private unit, even if they lack morality, what can they do? Don't bully people even if you put your job name? ”
My mom is still worried that my reputation will be ruined, and it will be difficult to find a partner.
I persuaded her all the way: "What is fame, can you stand hungry?" Can you get some medicine when you're sick? Mom, you just care about your reputation and don't want your neighbors to see jokes, so you have been bullied by your uncle's family and endured it, and my school is not finished because of their trouble. I don't like you like that. Do you have to ruin your whole life according to their requirements to feel right, I can't do it. ”
My mother stopped talking when she heard this, and she also thought that I couldn't go to school, and she was the one who caused me.
I didn't rush back, I took my mother to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some sugar and saccharin, I wanted to make corn tortillas delicious, and I also wanted to make tea eggs, so I bought tea and five-spice powder. The cornmeal bun was too unpalatable, so I bought some flour. Mom was a little nervous when she saw that I was constantly shopping.
"You can't spend money like this, you don't make money."
I smiled and said, "It's okay Mom, I promise not to waste money, my part-time job on the construction site is also temporary, and when I save enough money, I will go to make my own living." ”
"Good. Nizi, you're older now, and you have your own ideas. She was pleased.
Before I went out, I bought two more handfuls of somen noodles, I knew my mother liked to eat them, but the conditions at home were not good, so I was willing to buy them. I just happened to have the money, so I bought some and put it in the baggage I carried with me.
Mom sighed, "You kid! What did you do when you bought so many somen noodles in one go? I ate it in a few meals, and if you change how much cornmeal, you can eat at least half a month when you make cakes from sweet potato noodles. Besides, if you are used to eating such good things, you will not be able to swallow any more coarse grains that are not good. ”
