Chapter 384: Best Friend
Under Amy's verbal offensive, Zhang Xiu finally accepted the money she gave.
As Amy said, the money is not much, only enough for a day's food for their mother and son.
But Zhang Xiu knew very well that she didn't do anything at all today except for the fire, and the things she moved were very light compared to what she usually used at work.
In her heart, she didn't do anything, and she ate a meal at Amy's house that was so delicious and no worse than that in a state-run restaurant, and Amy gave her back the money.
Zhang Xiu squeezed the money in his hand tightly, and his heart was so warm that he couldn't speak.
She looked back at Amy's door and saw that Amy was still standing there.
Amy had sent her out, and now that she had gone far away, Amy was still standing in the doorway.
Zhang Xiu was even more grateful to her in her heart, and secretly made up her mind to work harder in the future and repay her well.
At the door, Amy watched Zhang Xiu disappear from sight before turning around and closing the door.
She didn't think much of it, it was just her habitual etiquette.
Moreover, she is also very grateful to Zhang Xiu for her help, she is very short of manpower.
As for the money, Amy could certainly give more.
But now it is the first time Zhang Xiu has come to help, and it is inappropriate to give too high at the beginning.
First, Zhang Xiu will definitely refuse, if she doesn't refuse, it will be difficult for Amy to give her a salary increase in the future.
It is better to calculate according to Zhang Xiu's actual workload today, and wait until the business gets better in the future and then gradually increase the money, so that Amy's financial pressure will be less, and Zhang Xiu will be very happy.
Amy believes that the beverage business will definitely pick up soon.
At home, because of Zhang Xiu's help, Grandma Wang basically didn't work much for this matter today, but just got the materials needed at the beginning, and then wrapped the materials in a clean coarse cloth, and put them in water to boil like the tea bags that appeared later.
When Amy returned to the yard, Grandma Wang was sitting in a rocking chair to cool off.
"Xiuxiu is really a good girl, she works hard and is willing to endure hardships, she doesn't talk around the corners, and she washes the dishes and chopsticks before leaving when she eats at our house."
Although she doesn't want Zhang Xiu to wash dishes, she inevitably feels that Zhang Xiu is sensible and considerate.
Amy came to Grandma Wang's side affectionately, smiling childishly and coquettishly:
"Then grandma has to praise me, I found such a good girl."
Grandma Wang was so amused by her appearance that she couldn't stop laughing, and the pu fan in her hand changed direction and fanned her.
"You're a college student, why are you still like a child?"
Amy wrinkled her nose and took the puff fan and sat next to Grandma Wang to fan the wind.
"Don't say it's a college student, even if I'm seventy or eighty in the future, I'll still be a child in front of my grandmother, don't dislike me."
"Hahaha, you have this mouth."
There was a lot of laughter in the yard, and Niu Niu, who was doing her homework in the room, heard it and looked out through the windowpane.
Seeing this warm scene, the smile on her face also widened, and at the same time, she clenched the pen that Amy bought for her in her hand, lowered her head and continued to do her summer homework.
Sister Xiaomi and grandma are so good at her, she must study hard, not embarrass them, and be admitted to college in the future, earn a lot of money, so that Sister Xiaomi and grandma can live a good life.
In the men's dormitory of Jiangcheng University, a male classmate was lying motionless on the bed, his face pale.
Another good-looking boy was in a hurry, and while he put a towel soaked in cold water on his head to cool down, he eagerly looked at the other dormitories.
Huzi was drenched in the rain yesterday and got sick.
But the students who stayed on campus during the summer vacation were all trying to make money to save up for the next semester's living expenses, and at this point in time, they were all busy working outside, and no one was in the dormitory at all.
Even if there are one or two occasionally, because I usually have a bad relationship with Huzi, I pretended not to hear Xiaojing asking for help, and left with a blank face.
"Brother......
Koi's eyes were red with anxiety, and he spoke with a crying tone.
The tiger on the bed raised his hand with difficulty and said:
"Don't cry, don't beg them...... These people ...... None of them are good people......"
Although he has been studying at Jiangcheng University for a semester, the psychological shadow caused to him by the bad people in the village is too great, so he has not let down his vigilance against his classmates, even his roommates who live in a room every day.
"Brother, you have a fever......
Koi took off the hot towel, washed it in cold water, and put it back on his forehead.
"It's okay, I've been sick in the countryside before, just get some sleep......"
Huzi was weak, he felt that he had difficulty breathing, and his heart and throat were sore.
But even so, he continued to comfort the anxious Koi.
"Don't cry, a man bleeds without tears, and I'll be angry if I do it again."
For so many years, only in front of Xiaojing, Huzi would speak in such a helpless tone.
In front of others, he is like a vigilant hedgehog, and as soon as others get close, he opens his thorns to stab everyone.
He knew that not everyone was a bad person, but he was afraid that there would be a bad person he was not aware of, just like in the village.
Just one can ruin his and Koi's lives.
He didn't dare to gamble, and he didn't want to gamble.
Huzi's head was chaotic, one moment he heard Xiaojing crying, the next he heard the bad guys who bullied them laughing, and the next moment it seemed that he had arrived in a particularly strange place, white and empty.
There seems to be something very heavy and heavy pressing on the mouth, and that thing is getting heavier and heavier.
The throat and mouth seemed to be burned with fire and smoked, dry and painful.
His hands and feet were even heavier, something was pulling him down, and there was nothing in the whole person that could be stepped on, so he kept falling down.
And Xiaojing, who had been guarding the bedside, found that no matter how much he called Huzi, there was no response.
He was completely anxious, and quickly ran downstairs to find the dormitory manager.
It's just that it's time to eat, and there are fewer people in the summer vacation than when I go to class, so my aunt didn't keep watching, but went to the cafeteria.
Koi stood alone on the huge campus, and for a while he didn't know who to turn to for help.
In the end, he thought of Mingke in the dormitory who was still gentle to them after knowing Huzi's temper.
Mingke is so good, he will definitely be able to help him!
Koi opened his legs and ran as fast as he could.
He didn't actually know where Mingke lived, and Mingke didn't say anything, but he couldn't think of any other way now, so he could only run towards the area where everyone said the students were renting, hoping to find someone.
Koi was lucky, and before he could run out of the school gate, he saw Mingke walking towards the library with a book as thick as an adult's two fists.
"Mingke, save my brother!"
Koi rushed towards Mingke.
After Mingke knew what was going on, he didn't say anything and immediately rushed to the dormitory.
In the dormitory, Huzi didn't know when he fell from under the bed.
"Brother!"
Xiaojing screamed loudly and ran over and helped the person to bed with Mingke.
"What's wrong with my brother, he didn't have such a bad cold before."
Koi was scared and had to keep talking to calm down in front of him.
Then, he saw Mingke touch Huzi's forehead with the back of his hand.
Then, Mingke opened the cabinet he locked, took out a transparent thermometer from it, and put it under Huzi's armpit.
"Change the towel."
He said to Koi, who was stunned next to him.
Koi watched him deal with everything in an orderly manner, and his flustered heart calmed down, and he went to change the towel according to his instructions.
After a few minutes, Mingke removed the thermometer.
The temperature is very high.
"He needs injections and medicine, you stay here, change the towel as soon as it's hot, take mine if it's not enough, I'll go to the doctor now."
The best thing is actually to carry people out, but although Huzi is thin, he is very tall and not light.
And Huzi's current situation, Mingke felt that it was not appropriate to carry him out to bask in the July sun.
Fortunately, Mingke is very familiar with this part of Jiangcheng.
It didn't take long for him to take the doctor to the dormitory.
Take your temperature, listen to your heart rate, take injections, take medicine.
Step by step, Huzi's condition gradually improved.
After Koi determined that Huzi's burn was slowly receding, he knelt down directly for Mingke.
"Thank you, I will definitely repay you well."
In Xiaojing's heart, Huzi is his own brother, which is very important and important.
Mingke helped Koi up.
"It's okay, even if it's not him, as long as I meet him, I'll save it. And you should be most thankful for yourself, if you hadn't gone out to find someone, the situation would have definitely gotten worse. ”
Of course, Koi knew that if he didn't get an injection and take medicine in time, it would get worse, because the doctor just said that if it was a little later, the lungs would burn out.
Because of the harsh living environment, Koi learned to read words and emotions very early.
After he found out that Mingke didn't like him to kneel, he didn't kneel down again, but apologized for Huzi.
"My brother didn't mean to target everyone, it's just that he's afraid that there will be bad people to hurt me."
Koi lifted his trouser legs.
In the dormitory, he wore long pants no matter how hot it was, and never went to the public bathroom with other people to take a shower.
Mingke also saw now that Koi had a scar the size of a wrist under his knee.
"This was smashed by the man with a hoe at the time."
Speaking of this, Xiaojing's body couldn't help but tremble.
The tip of the hoe is very sharp, and it is all sharp, and it can easily dig through something as tough as the roots of an old tree, let alone the flesh of a person.
"That person really wants my life, if it weren't for my brother, I would be ...... by now"
Koi couldn't continue, whimpering.
Mingke knows how bad bad people are.
It's just the first time I've seen someone kill so directly.
He suddenly understood why these two people were so wary of everyone.
Good friends who used to work together suddenly turned their faces to hurt people, and after experiencing this kind of thing, no one dares to trust others easily.
Mingke looked at the two people in front of him who were not much younger than him, but they seemed to be looking at two children.
He patted Koi on the shoulder and said:
"Not in the future, study hard, become a very powerful person, and no one will dare to bully you again."
Koi gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.
"Well, we will. Brother Mingke, thank you, thank you very much, you will be my best friend and Huzi in the future, the best kind. ”
