Chapter 30: Laughed at by the crowd
The old woman glanced at Xing Fei, saw that she had been staring at the food on the table, and said with a little disgust: "Wash your hands and eat again, it's dirty to death."
Xing Fei looked down at herself, her hands were covered with and mud, because she had an apron and clothes, her trouser legs and shoes were miserable, her face was a little red, and she didn't see a faucet around, Xing Fei asked softly, "Where to wash?"
The woman didn't make a sound, stopped shoveling vegetables, turned around and scooped a scoop of water from the bucket for her, poured it into a plastic basin, and motioned for Xing Fei to wash it here.
Xing Fei was not ambiguous, she took off her apron and reached out to wash it, in the cold weather of winter, the frozen water was cold, Xing Fei was shivering as soon as she washed it twice, and her ten fingers couldn't help curling up.
The woman put a piece of soap next to her, Xing Fei picked it up, the soap was already dry and cracked, and the cracks were a little black, and she felt like she was rubbing her hands in her palms.
After washing the hands, the water was already yellow, Xing Fei's hands were red, and she couldn't straighten them at all.
The woman also shoveled the last dish out of the pot, put the steamed buns into the bamboo basket, and beckoned Xing Fei to eat.
Xing Fei took off the mask at this time, and it was already dirty.
There were three dishes in front of her, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, eggs with sharp peppers, and mushu meat, and sure enough, they were all full of eggs, she picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched them to the better-looking tomato eggs, and tasted that there was no saltiness in her mouth, she swallowed quietly, and nodded with a smile at the woman's gaze, "It's delicious." ”
The woman snorted softly, "Don't force it, I know it doesn't smell." ”
Xing Fei didn't expect that she knew that she was a little embarrassed when the lie was exposed, "Do you know why it's still..."
"Why are you still eating so lightly?"
Xing Fei nodded.
"Because I heard that eating too much salt is easy to get sick, I am scared when I think that my child is worried about me."
Xing Fei stopped her chopsticks, she had been here for most of the day, and found that she seemed to be alone here, and she didn't see her children.
"What about your children? Are you alone here? ”
"I have a daughter, who works in a big company in the city, but she has a chance, she is the first famous college student in our town, she is also angry at school, and I never have to worry about it..."
Her face was full of pride when she mentioned her child, and Xing Fei listened carefully to her gushing story.
"Two years ago, she went to a big company, I didn't want her to be worse than the girls in the city, I heard that the cost of raising chickens is low and she makes a lot of money, so I came to the city to open a chicken farm for her." The woman smiled.
Xing Fei was a little moved when she heard this, and at the same time a little puzzled, "How long does it take for your daughter to come to see you?" ”
The woman was a little hesitant, "She's too busy and tired from work, and I don't want her to come to this dirty and smelly place." ”
Don't want your daughter to come, but let me go into the chicken shed to pick up eggs? Xing Fei couldn't help but feel embarrassed, she is also a girl, and this treatment is too bad.
But she was full of sadness in the face of this very old-looking person, "Don't you want her? ”
The woman's face became heavy, "Yes, but I don't dare to go, for fear of embarrassing her." ”
"Where does your daughter live?"
“... She didn't tell me. ”
Xing Fei took out a notebook and a pen, "You tell me her name, age and appearance." ”
The woman hesitated, "Zhang Li, 27 years old. I hadn't seen her in a while, and I didn't know if she had changed. "She can only be described as she was a few years ago.
Xing Fei recorded all the information, it was already dark, Xing Fei remembered the driver's words, and hurriedly looked at the time, it was already seven o'clock, Xing Fei sighed, there is no village in front of the village and no store here, how to go back today.
The small talk between the two over dinner made the woman's attitude towards her much more relaxed, "If you don't dislike it, I'll make you another bed." ”
Xing Fei thought that there was no other way, the environment here was difficult, there were no washing conditions, her bed was built with wooden planks on bricks, a futon was laid, Xing Fei took off her dirty clothes, and the quilt was cold when she lay down.
She whispered, the woman heard it on the side, and quietly took another quilt and spread it on Xing Fei, Xing Fei was stunned for a moment at first, and then was a little moved and thanked her.
The bed board was too hard, she was uncomfortable, she couldn't help but make any sound, lying flat and staring at the green roof in a daze, the night was silent, the sound of insects outside was particularly obvious, the quiet night made Xing Feixin inexplicably quiet, she gently turned her head to look at the bed on the side, her breathing was undulating, accompanied by an even breathing sound.
The old woman's mother's love for her has never been felt, so she will be particularly sorry for her, now think about it, the woman is bent on earning money for her daughter, she said that she didn't want her daughter to come, but in fact, her daughter never wanted to come.
Xing Fei couldn't help but think about how happy she would be if her mother loved her like a woman.
Today's things are all she didn't expect, she didn't think that one day she would catch eggs in the chicken shed, I don't know if she will meet this harsh appearance, in fact, the mother image of the heart, but also just want to admit that she has always wanted such a maternal love.
"Hurry up, there's a car in the morning." Xing Fei opened her eyes when she heard the voice, sat up with her arms propped up, her muscles ached all over her body, it was estimated that she was tired for a day yesterday, plus she had insomnia at night, she fell asleep very late, and now her head is groggy. The green shed was leaking, and her throat was swollen, as if she had a cold.
The physical condition was extremely bad, Xing Fei dragged her heavy body, had no choice but to put on yesterday's pants again, washed her face with cold water, the woman boiled an egg for her, and also made egg custard, Xing Fei couldn't swallow it at all, and she was nauseous after a little bite.
The woman asked her to take some medicine and sent her to the station, and the car arrived after a while, and Xing Fei's arm was pulled when she was about to get on the train.
"My daughter, you..." The woman's eyes revealed her expectation, and Xing Fei pulled out a smile, "Don't worry, I will contact her, and by the way, the mobile phone will be sent over later." ”
The woman let go of her hand and nodded, "Go back quickly, be careful." ”
Xing Fei got into the car and sat by the window, the car started, and she turned around and saw an old man standing in the middle of the road, and the chicken farm behind her looked extremely lonely.
Xing Fei's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she slept lightly against the seat in front of her.
The ringing of her phone woke her up and fumbled for it.
"Feifei, why haven't you come yet? We have a meeting today to hand in all the investigation reports. Wang Ying's inquiring voice.
Xing Fei still closed her eyes and asked, "Isn't it tomorrow?" Her voice was hoarse and weak.
"Didn't you read the notice in the group yesterday? Changed temporarily, it was opened in an hour, I see that you haven't come yet, so I'll ask you, but why is your voice so hoarse? ”
Yesterday I was busy catching eggs, how could I have time to read the group news, Xing Fei looked up at the surrounding environment, and entered the center of the city, and he could arrive in an hour.
Simply responded and hung up the phone, but after a long time, the bus arrived at the station, and she reversed another line of bus to rush to the company.
When we arrived at the company, everyone was busy with the documents at hand, and a woman in the office saw Xing Fei and wanted to see some ghosts, so she asked exaggerated loudly: "Xing Fei, have you gone to work on the chicken farm?" ”
Xing Fei was not familiar with the person who spoke, but her voice did successfully attract the attention of everyone in the office, and they all stopped what they were doing and looked at Xing Fei.
Xing Fei didn't have time to change her clothes at all, she looked really embarrassed at the moment, her hair was tied up at random, her face was pale, and her clothes and pants were even more miserable.
"Mom, why is the smell so strong, it seems that it is very pleasant in the chicken farm, I am reluctant to change my clothes, have you learned any chicken raising skills!" The person next to Xing Fei answered.
"Hahahaha..."
Xing Fei was dizzy from their voices, and had no strength to refute them, so she went to her desk tiredly, during which she walked all the way, and the people around her covered their noses in disgust to avoid it.
"Feifei, how are you?" As soon as Xing Fei sat down in the seat, a group of people came over with concern, Xing Fei shook his head and said it didn't matter.
"I still have a set of clean clothes, you can go change them." Xin Yi handed her a bag, Xing Fei knew that she would have to be told if she had a meeting like this, so she took it without shirking.
"All the work done? Are they all so idle? The general manager came out of the office angrily and shouted, there has been too much work recently, and the work he is responsible for has been repeatedly unqualified, and he is also irritable.
Xing Fei was about to go to the bathroom, and then she happened to take a photo with him, and the general manager looked at Xing Fei, "You came to work like this?" Think of this as a chicken farm? ”
Everyone laughed again, Xin Yi frowned, and the other groups looked like they were all looking lively.
"I'm going to go...", "Where are I going!" It's time for the conference, so let's all go to the conference room! The general manager gave the order, and everyone took their reports and went to the conference room very quickly.
Xing Fei reluctantly put down her clothes and followed everyone.
Xing Fei stood at the front, and the people sitting below were all staring at her, some were sympathetic, some were indifferent, and more were not too big to watch the excitement, they were working so much now, they were oppressed every day, and they were naturally interested in having fun.
The general manager stood in front of Xing Fei and was criticizing her loudly, just so that he could vent his anger in the past few days.
"Do you understand what I said?" The general manager is foaming at the stars.
Xing Fei's head kept buzzing, she was about to lose her position at all, she didn't hear a word of what she was saying just now, but she still nodded.
"Then tell us the results of the questionnaire." The general manager was also tired and sat on the main seat.
Referring to the questionnaire, Xing Fei remembered her thoughts, "I didn't do the questionnaire. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was boiling, and it seemed that there was going to be a good show again, and several people had already posted on Moments.
Xiaoqi was having breakfast, bored scrolling through the circle of friends, attracted by a dynamic.
[The teaching meeting of the little master of the chicken farm! ] There is also a small video below, Xiaoqi clicks on it to play.
At first, she was curious, but when she saw the protagonist's eyes enlarged, she replayed it again, and stopped when it came to the close-up, isn't this Xing Fei! Go back to the time, the dynamics of five minutes ago, and it should be over now.
After hesitation, he put down his chopsticks and made a phone call.
"President, I just got a piece of news..."
