Chapter 127: Hitchhiking
Xian Fangfang's aunt is the deputy factory director, and her aunt is from the labor department, so it is trivial to ask Tian Zhigao for a few days off, not to mention that there are not many steel mills, there are many workers, and some people are willing to work on the top shift, after all, there is money to take on the top shift, and during this New Year's Festival, there are many places that need to spend money, who doesn't want to have more money and work looser?
So Tian Zhigao didn't have to worry about it, Xian Fangfang went out by herself and it was done quickly.
Xian Fangfang went to Shen's house overnight, and wanted to set a hitchhike with Shen Yu's brother tomorrow and go to Xingyang County, Mengzhou on the same road.
Shen Yu's brother loves to travel in the wild, so he naturally understands the simplicity and poverty of the countryside, and he should not dislike her for having a rural in-law.
I believe that this trip can completely resolve the misunderstanding between her and Brother Shen Yu and enhance their friendship with each other.
But Xian Fangfang went to Shen's house, but she ate a closed door, the lights were on in the house, she shouted outside the iron gate for a while, but no one came out to answer, until Director Shen finished eating from a meeting in the city, came back in a car, and got off the car and still exuded the smell of alcohol.
Director Shen walked to the door of his house and saw Xian Fangfang and asked her what was the matter? Xian Fangfang explained her intentions, and Director Shen nodded: "I know about this, Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan were a little busy and nervous at work a while ago, and this is just a New Year's holiday, so they want to go outside to have fun and relax." Why, I'm still on the same road with you? ”
Xian Fangfang smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Shen." Tian Zhigao and I are going to take that road where we are going, so we have to take Shen Yu's brother's hitchhike - you know, the train and shuttle bus are very crowded during this time, and it is more comfortable to take your own car. ”
"Okay, then Fangfang, you wait here, I'll go in and have a look, and ask Shen Yu to come and talk to you."
Xian Fangfang wanted to follow Director Shen into the iron gate: "Uncle Shen, I'd better go into the house and say, it's quite cold outside." ”
This should be placed in normal times, and Director Shen, who had few ideas, really let Xian Fangfang enter the house with him, after all, this girl was raised by him since he was a child, and she was a neighbor, so he didn't think it would be any harm to him, and he was absolutely defenseless.
But after his son Shen Yu muttered many times these days, Director Shen still listened to it, and subconsciously stopped: "Fangfang, that, Uncle Shen just went home to get something, and he has to go to the office later, if Shen Yu is not at home, it is not good for you to wait alone...... You're here at the door, Uncle Shen will show you, come right away! ”
As he spoke, he directly tied the iron door and hurried into the house.
Xian Fangfang: "......" pouted a little dissatisfied.
The car behind her was still parked there, and the secretary of the factory director and the driver stood next to the car, watching silently together.
After a while, Director Shen came out, and he smiled and said to Xian Fangfang: "Shen Yu is not at home, he left a note, saying that he went out with his friends, and he wanted to prepare something for travel." That's it, Fangfang, if you have any requirements, tell Uncle Shen, and I'll tell you when you get back. ”
Xian Fangfang was a little disappointed, but with Uncle Shen's help to tell her, she was more sure that she would be able to hitchhike and see Brother Shen Yu tomorrow, not bad at this time.
Then he smiled and said: "Then it's troublesome Uncle Shen, and there is no request, but I may have a lot of things, and I want to ask Brother Shen Yu to drive to my dormitory area tomorrow to pick us up." ”
Factory Chief Shen waved his hand: "No problem!" I'll tell you. ”
The secretary opened the car door, asked Director Shen to sit on it, and went to the office building again.
Xian Fangfang turned around and walked briskly towards her aunt's house.
At this time, she didn't take into account that Uncle Shen had drunk some wine, and went to the office to deal with some affairs, and when he came home late at night, the whole person was very tired, even if she saw Shen Yu at home, the father and son still said a few words, but they had already forgotten Xian Fangfang's instructions, washed their faces and went back to the room to fall asleep, and they didn't dream.
Shen Yu went out at four o'clock in the morning, the road conditions were definitely not good on snowy days, and if they wanted to arrive at Linshui Village within a day, they had to leave early.
Xian Fangfang waited for Ah and waited, but she didn't see Shen Yu's brother come to pick her up, so she was in a hurry, so she rushed Tian Zhigao to Shen's house with a big bag and a small bag, and Director Shen suddenly patted her head: "I'm sorry, Fangfang, Uncle Shen drank last night and was forgetful...... Uncle Shen has apologized to you! ”
Xian Fangfang wants to cry without tears: What's the use of a sentence of apology? Both the people and the car are gone.
Tian Zhigao next to him was very calm, according to his understanding of Xian Fangfang, Xian Fangfang, who was persistent and willful, could not stop her with any difficulties.
He doesn't want to be able to hitchhike, let alone homesickness, he has to go home for the New Year, what he wants is just to be tied to Xian Fangfang all the time, and he can't let Xian Fangfang stay away from his sight and out of his control.
Sure enough, as he wished, Xian Fangfang, who insisted on following Shen Yu's brother, not only did not dispel the idea of going to Mengzhou, but also urgently urged Tian Zhigao to hurry to the train station and buy a ticket to take the train!
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Tian Zhigao escorted Xian Fangfang and squeezed onto the green train, the usually empty carriage, because the New Year is approaching, it seems very crowded, Xian Fangfang did not complain, sat quietly in his seat, and talked with Tian Zhigao with interest from time to time, saying that naturally there are interesting places in his hometown.
In Linshui Village, Meng Tao was led by Captain Bao, and she began to worry a little about getting busy.
Today is the twentieth day of the lunar month, and in the morning, Aunt Yang and the daughter-in-law of Captain Bao each came over with a chicken and a basket to prepare to do things, but in fact, there was nothing to do, and the guests did not come.
Zhou Cuiling also came in the afternoon, these days the grain station is basically not busy, she will work for half a day, and wait until the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh of the lunar month, and there is no need to go, until the end of the New Year, the fifth and sixth days of the new year began to go to a point every day, and the normal work is generally after the Lantern Festival.
But the guests have not arrived for a long time, and the weather is getting colder and colder, freezing and snowy, which makes people anxious, Captain Bao has traveled back and forth to the village entrance and the Meng family's courtyard more than a dozen times a day, and Meng Tao can't help but follow him a few times.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Meng Tao, Zhou Cuiling and Captain Bao stood at the entrance of the village again, and there were some members who had nothing to do to join in the fun.
"Wouldn't it be that the shuttle bus broke down halfway? Lao Liangtou and Zhou Lao Wu drove the ox cart, and Lao Zhou was also waiting in the commune, but they couldn't pick up anyone, they should always come back, right? Why can't you see a person? ”
Suddenly, someone shouted, "It's coming, it's coming, look!" ”
In the heavy snowfall, several shadows loomed, coming along the village road, Captain Bao said happily: "You have good eyes, see if it's them?" ”
Zhou Cuiling stomped her feet to keep warm, and didn't want to say, "It must be them!" ”
Meng Tao breathed a sigh of relief: It's good to come, I'm afraid that the shuttle bus will break down halfway and won't come.
