Chapter 12 The kind-hearted Zhang Baotong

In the late autumn afternoon, the weather is sunny and the sun is fine, but the wind is cloudy, which makes people feel a little cold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But what made her feel most obvious was that she was tired, tired, and extremely weak, and wanted to lie down and sleep, because she felt that she didn't even have any strength left.

She walked along the street to Taihua Road, and then walked south along Taihua Road, and after not going far, she felt top-heavy and floating, her center of gravity was unstable, and she was crumbling. However, what makes her feel the most sad and helpless is the current life under the fence and at the mercy of others. She has long had enough of this kind of life, and she is tired of it. It's just that she hasn't found a job to do, and her cousin won't let her go out to find a job, saying that the city is not like in the township, there are many bad people, and if you don't get it, people will be coaxed and deceived and taken to the mountains to be sold. Therefore, Xiuxiu has never dared to go out to find a job. Later, Xiuxiu also asked some young girls, and they all said that it was because her cousin was afraid that she would run away with someone else, and deliberately used this kind of words to scare her. In fact, there are many young and beautiful girls like her in the village who work in the market and factories, and I haven't seen a girl who has been deceived and sold.

She heard that there were many labor markets at the train station, so she decided to check them out. She walked to the Taihua Road overpass, she really couldn't walk, so she leaned on the fence next to the bridge and rested while watching the train pass back and forth. Looking at it, I felt that the world was spinning, my eyes were black, and my body was weak, and I fell on the bridge.

When she awoke from her confused and chaotic slumber, she found herself lying in the observation room of a hospital. The room in front of her was white, bright and very warm, a hanging bottle hung high in the sky, the liquid in it was bubbling into her body drop by drop, and beside her bed, a middle-aged man was sitting beside her as if nursing her.

The middle-aged man was about forty-four or five years old, tall and stout, untidy in his clothes, like a manual worker in some factory. She felt as if she was in a dream, but she blinked her eyes several times before she realized that she was not dreaming, but she couldn't figure out how she could be lying in this place. After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that I was afraid that I had fainted on the bridge, and I was sent here for rescue.

She was full of gratitude, but she also felt embarrassed, because she didn't even have a penny on her, how should she pay for the hospital? She knows that it costs a lot of money to see a doctor in the city, and besides, people have kindly saved her, and they can't let people pay for her anymore? Thinking like this, she hurriedly closed her eyes, afraid that people would ask her this and that when they saw her wake up, she would be embarrassed to ask her questions and answers.

After a bottle of sling, the nurse then had to continue the infusion. But she immediately opened her eyes and said to the nurse, "I'm already well, I don't want to fight anymore." The nurse smiled and said, "You just woke up from a coma, how can you say it?" Then, without allowing her to say more, he replaced the hanging bottle, and when the nurse was gone, the middle-aged man smiled very gently at her, and said, "The doctor said that you are too weak to stay here for at least three days." Xiuxiu was anxious and said, "No, no, absolutely not." The middle-aged man asked her, "Why not?" Xiuxiu squeaked for a long time before saying, "My family is not here, and I don't have any money." ”

The middle-aged man said, "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to see a doctor." Xiuxiu still shook her head vigorously and said, "No, I still have something to do." The middle-aged man asked her, "What's the matter with you?" She said, "I still have to find a job." The middle-aged man said, "If you are looking for a job, you have to take care of your body first, how can you work if your health is not good?" She had nothing more to say.

The three hanging bottles were beaten until 7 p.m. Because Xiuxiu insisted on leaving, the middle-aged man saw that her complexion and spirit were much better, so he agreed to let her out of the hospital. The middle-aged man paid and took her to the restaurant in front of the hospital to eat, and wanted to send Xiuxiu home, so he asked, "Where do you live?" ”

But she really didn't want to go back to her cousin, so she said, "I came here from other places to look for work, but my cousin moved away, so I couldn't find it for a few days, and the money was spent, and I didn't have food or shelter." The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you come to my house and stay overnight." With that, he took her to a dilapidated family area in the northern suburbs on a dilapidated bicycle.

The houses here are all simple bungalows built in the fifties and sixties, and the aisles of the rooms are very narrow, but the residents who live here have added some lying houses to the aisles in front of the door, so that the aisles in front of the houses and behind the houses are even narrower, and can almost only accommodate one person pushing a cart through.

In Xi'an, family communities like this have long been replaced by new family buildings that have risen from the ground, but the residents who live here are either laid-off workers whose units have closed down, or some elderly and infirm retired workers. None of them can afford to buy or live in a new house, so developers have tried to demolish and rebuild houses here several times, only to give up because the residents' asking prices are too high or the demolition work is too difficult.

When he came to the front of the house, the man asked Xiuxiu to wait outside first, and he went to the house first. Of course, Xiuxiu knew that it was naturally not easy for a man to suddenly bring a strange young woman to his house, at least with the consent of the daughter-in-law. Moreover, women are generally very sensitive and reluctant when encountering this kind of thing. Therefore, I am always worried that my daughter-in-law will embarrass the man or drive herself away. But to her surprise, the man's daughter-in-law came out herself, took her hand affectionately, and led her into the house.

The house is not large, consisting of a whole room of fifteen or sixteen square meters and a half room of seven or eight square meters built by himself. Because the area of the house is not enough, the inside and outside of the house and the cabinet under the bed are full of various items, and it looks like the inside of Zhixian's house. The middle-aged woman seemed to be around forty years old, and her appearance was not beautiful at all, but she took Xiuxiu's hand, called her sister vigorously, and praised her for her beauty. This made Xiuxiu very good, and felt that the woman was kind and kind, and she was approachable. So, Xiuxiu affectionately called the woman aunt.

At night, the aunt asked Xiuxiu to sleep with her, and let Uncle Hao and the child sleep on the bed outside. Women and women have endless words to say together. Aunt Hao asked Xiuxiu, "Do you have any relatives and acquaintances here?" Xiuxiu said, "My cousin is here, but I don't know where he has moved." Aunt Hao said, "You are so young and beautiful, you don't even have a place to live when you go out alone, it's okay to meet a good person, if you meet a bad person, you will be deceived." Xiuxiu said, "I can't help it, my parents are not in good health, they often get sick, and they owe a lot of money to others, so I can't work if I don't come out." ”

The next morning, Aunt Hao got up to cook for the child, and the child went to school after eating. Uncle Hao had eaten and was grinding around at the door with some tools for repairing things. Xiuxiu asked the man, "Uncle Hao, which unit do you work in?" Aunt Hao said with a smile on the side, "He is repairing pipes and installing water heaters for others, where is there any unit?" Uncle Hao replied unhappily, "How can there be no unit, if there is no unit, who will send you the 200 yuan per month?" "Actually, Uncle Hao can be regarded as having a unit, but the unit has gone out of business.

As he was talking, Uncle Hao's pager rang. Uncle Hao looked at the pager, and then ran to the small shop not far from the house to reply. After a while, Uncle Hao came back and said to the woman, "I may not be able to come back at noon, and I won't eat lunch at home." With that, he hung up the bag of tools to the back of the car and rode away on the broken car.
