Chapter 50: Something Happened
"Okay, you're crying too, as long as you know the seriousness of the matter and don't mess around. What is going on, let's go back and check with the comrade who reported it. ”
Hearing this, Shui Yao completely confirmed the conjecture in his heart, bowed deeply to the guards, and asked cautiously.
"Uncles, I have a question, is it an eldest sister named Li Xuemei who reported me?"
……
After the group of guards left, they watched their backs, and it was not until they were sure that they had gone far away that Shui Yao let out a long sigh, and couldn't help but feel glad for today's events, if it weren't for the delay in time to appease the sad Shui Yun, I was afraid that at this moment, not only would I not be able to do business, but I would also be taken to the bureau to eat in prison.
Thinking of this, Shui Yao couldn't help but hate Li Xuemei a little deeper. It seems that since Li Xuemei lost the malicious competition last time, although she has left the school gate and claimed that she will not do business there, what she has done this time is obviously a manifestation of unwillingness.
Because when Shui Yao was questioning just now, although the guards did not answer her question openly, their loose expressions and fluttering eyes were all strong evidence for Shui Yao to prove his conjecture.
Now Shui Yao has determined that this matter is indeed Li Xuemei's ghost, but now is not the best time to clean her up. After this incident, Shui Yao knew very well in her heart that she was afraid that she would not be able to do the business at the gate of the school, and that she was able to escape from Weibing today, all because of the big lie she had just taught. If that group of people finds Li Xuemei to confront them later, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to explain if they catch themselves again.
However, it is not completely without benefits when something like this happens. After all, Shui Yao understood from the first day she sold potato chips that this was not a long-term business, counting the days, it was not long before she started school, and the hundred and ten yuan she earned during this period was enough for a whole semester. Anyway, during this time, she was busy every day, and she was really tired, so now she is taking this opportunity to take a good rest.
Shui Yao saw that it was still early, anyway, today's business is dead or alive can not be done, remembering that there are still a lot of bamboo shoots at home, Shui Yao made a quick decision, and decided to go to the back mountain to run, maybe you can get some meat or mountain goods, in this era is definitely a rare good thing, it is of course the best to use it to replenish the body of the family.
However, because he was in a hurry to go out today, Shui Yao didn't take any tools, anyway, the school was not far from home, so he turned home first.
Just as Shui Yao was thinking about taking a few more bags in his heart, he saw a familiar figure waiting at the door of his house. I saw that the man had a dark face, he was really cold in his clothes, and the hard hat on his head had not had time to take off, but he was sweating profusely, and his expression was also depressed.
When he got closer, Shui Yao vaguely remembered that this person had seen him when he returned to the county seat to see Shui Daquan, he was his father's colleague, the uncle Chen who greeted her last time.
For some reason, the appearance of the person in front of him made Shui Yao's heart "chuckle" and be shocked a lot, and after that, an ominous premonition instantly surfaced in his mind. Although this Uncle Chen is familiar with Shui Daquan, in Shui Yao's memory, over the years, he will definitely not reach the Shui family more than twice.
But if he really came here as a guest, he would never have such a heavy expression on his face, right...... Is there something wrong with Shui Daquan?
This kind of realization made Shui Yao's heart fall to the bottom all of a sudden, and regardless of the fatigue of his body, Shui Yao accelerated his pace in an instant. And Chen Ping'an, who had been waiting at the door of Shui's house for a long time, heard the sound of footsteps from far and near, and when he looked up, he saw Shui Yao who was running towards him, and his eyes immediately turned red.
"Girl, you're finally back!"
Seeing Chen Ping'an's appearance, an inexplicable sourness surged up from Shui Yao's throat, and before she could ask, a choked male voice sounded.
"Quick! Girl, there's no time, pack up your things and hurry up with me! Your dad had an accident in the mine this morning, he was seriously injured and is now in the hospital. ”
Hearing Chen Ping'an's words, Shui Yao's heart stopped suddenly, the whole person was nailed to the spot and couldn't move, and his throat seemed to be tightly choked, Shui Yao wanted to scream, but the sound couldn't come out at all, it seemed that the world was about to crack in front of her, and the tears were like not wanting money, and they were flowing down vigorously.
Shui Yao in front of him was pale, and his lips trembled because of the huge shock, this appearance made Chen Ping'an unbearable, the little girl in front of him had lost her mother, and seeing that the only father who hurt her had something happen again, Chen Ping'an felt even more guilty.
"Girl, I'm really sorry, your dad...... Your dad had an accident to save me, blame me, blame me......"
At this moment, Chen Ping'an's mind was full of Shui Daquan desperately blocking the falling stones for him, and his apologies seemed incoherent and flustered. Thinking of the harm he had brought to the Shui family, Chen Ping'an couldn't wait to pull a few big ear scrapers on his face.
A sobbing voice pulled Shui Yao out of shock and heartache, looking at Chen Ping'an, who was crying in front of him with a red face and a thick neck, Shui Yao took a deep breath, forcibly calmed himself, and said word by word.
"Uncle Chen, wait a minute, I'll take my things and go to the hospital with you immediately."
After speaking, Shui Yao immediately opened the door and rushed into the bedroom. At this moment, she has completely recovered from the shocked emotions just now, after all, she has seen so many winds and waves in her previous life, and now her father Shui Daquan has an accident, and there is no one in the family who can be the lord, those nominal relatives in the past, just because they can get benefits from Shui Daquan's body, they squeezed their heads one by one to come to the Shui family, in fact, when the matter comes, they can't be counted on at all. So, for now, her father can only rely on herself.
Time is life, especially Shui Daquan, who was so seriously injured, Shui Yao didn't dare to delay for a moment, he didn't have time to pack up a piece of clothing, put the money box on his back, and followed Chen Ping'an out of the door.
Before leaving, Shui Yao didn't forget to go to the neighbor's house to explain and ask them to help take care of her younger brother after school, so she hurriedly took advantage of the donkey cart to enter the city.
Along the way, Shui Yao saw that Chen Ping'an's mood had almost eased, so he asked in detail about what happened in the mine in the morning.
"After all, the reason why your father had an accident was because of me, and he was seriously injured to save me......"
"Uncle Chen, calm down first and speak slowly."
After hearing this, Chen Ping'an wiped his tears vigorously: "This morning, before dawn, we went down the well as usual, there is a lot of coal in Hutunzi, we are digging hard, thinking that we can complete the task as soon as possible, go back early and rest well, and get a lot of wages." But who knows, this work is almost over, and it has ...... collapsed."
"At that time, the stone was going to hit me, but it was your father who stepped forward to block me, and his arm was suddenly pressed by the stone, and your father's face turned white in pain, but fortunately, the doctor said that there was no big problem in other places, but whether this arm can be good or not depends on luck. ……”
Shui Yao listened to Chen Ping'an's words, although he was worried, he was also a little relieved, fortunately he didn't hit his head, and his life should be fine. However, at this moment, Shui Yao couldn't help but worry again.
Her father Shui Daquan has been the best worker in the mine over the years, although he is a little wooden, but his heart is not low at all. But if his arm was lost because of this accident, it would be a big blow to him.
Just when Shui Yao secretly made up his mind to take good care of Shui Daquan during this time, Chen Ping'an's voice sounded again, full of helplessness and sadness.
"Yao girl, you must also know that we are coal miners, and the working environment is very bad, although we get a lot of wages every month, but in the end, it is all in exchange for our lives. Gas, coal dust, water, high-voltage electricity...... This kind of thing will cost people's lives, but it is not ambiguous at all. When did we go underground and not be scared? ”
"But Daquan has been working for so many years in the mine, never saying bitterness, not calling him tired, we all know that he is not easy, your mother went early, although that Wu Chunhua went to the mine to see him twice, but which time didn't he ask him for money under the guise of taking care of you? When didn't he empty his pockets before he left? ”
"Although he doesn't usually say anything, we can all see that your father really misses you very much. So, girl, you must take good care of your father when you go to the hospital this time, he is really not easy......"
After Chen Ping'an finished speaking, he groped in his pocket, and then took out two crumpled big unity and said: "Girl, this time it was Daquan who saved my life, uncle knows, your father's affection for me, no matter how I pay it back, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay it off in this life." Right now, your dad is in the hospital again, and he may need surgery on his arm, and he needs money everywhere. ”
"Although these numbers are not enough, please take them anyway, first top a hurry, I don't have money on me for the time being, I will go back and make up again, and this morning's accident is a work injury, and the unit will not ignore it."
After listening to Chen Ping'an's words, Shui Yao no longer refused, thanked him generously, and carefully packed the money.
