I turned around, looked at the old woman and said, "You're awake." ”

The old woman pursed her dry lips and said weakly, "Well, you sent me to the hospital." ”

Her expression was still haggard, as if it would take a lot of effort to say a word.

"Yes, you passed out in the car at the time, and the situation was urgent, and I broke your window to drag you out of the car."

When the old woman heard this, her face showed kindness, she rubbed her weak heart, and said, "Thank you, young man, there are really very few kind-hearted young people like you now, what is your name?" ”

I smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Don't thank me, no one will ignore this matter, uh, my name is Wang Tao." ”

The old woman wanted to sit up, I hurriedly walked over and helped her put two pillows behind her, her face was not bloody, age spots covered her cheeks, but her eyes revealed lean and neat, she leaned on the pillow, and a trace of sweat oozed from her forehead.

She looked at me and said, "What does the lad do?" ”

I said bitterly: "I'm an idler now, and I'm about to go to the garment factory to work as a warehouse manager." ”

After hearing this, the old woman said thoughtfully: "Oh, young people should exercise well, so that they can do great things in the future, by the way, how much is the medical expenses, I will transfer it to you." ”

I asked her with some curiosity, "Do you have no family by your side because you have heart problems?" Also, isn't it a bit dangerous for you to drive out by yourself? ”

As if talking about the old woman's suffering, she was silent for a moment, and muttered: "They are very busy, and have settled abroad, I am usually more withdrawn, and do not like to associate with outsiders, and I am alone in China, and they invite me to live with them in every way, but I am stubborn and like to spend my old age in my hometown city." ”

I was a little surprised when I heard this, and hurriedly asked her, "Are there no relatives and friends in the country?" ”

"Relatives have emigrated a few years ago, and close friends have passed away."

There was bitterness and loneliness in her voice.

I think this old woman is a little pitiful, since she has lived so lonely and lonely in her later years, she is alone.

I looked at her and said, "Your son is coming back from the United States, so I'll stay with you until he arrives." ”

After hearing this, she said with some guilt: "How embarrassing is this, will it affect your work." ”

I smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I haven't officially gone to work anyway, and I'm just at home." ”

The mobile phone rang, I hurriedly took it out to check, it was Sun Kai's call, I thought, what is he looking for me, is he going to get married?

I whispered to the old woman, "Lie down for a while, and I'll go out and answer the phone." ”

She nodded slightly, and I helped her pull out the pillow behind her, let her lie comfortably on the bed, and then opened the door of the ward and walked out.

"Hey, Xiaotao"

Sun Kai's hearty and crisp voice came from the other side of the phone.

"What's wrong, Sun Kai."

"The wedding time has been set, and the wedding will be held in my hometown."

I heard Sun Kai say that he was going back to his hometown to hold a wedding, and I was a little sad, it was a place that made me sad and desperate, but Sun Kai got married, and I had to go back, and I was still very happy for him.

"Congratulations, groom, when is it set?"

"At the end of this month, you can arrange a time."

"At the end of the month? It's the 25th today. ”

"That's right, that's why I called you in advance, I'm afraid you don't have enough time."

I instantly thought of the work in the garment factory, it seems that I will definitely not be able to go back this time, when I think of Zhang Xueyao's extremely disappointed face, I have mixed feelings in my heart, and I feel guilty.

"Okay, it must be on schedule, uh, has Xiao Qing been notified from there?"

Sun Kai coughed lightly and said, "Noticed, she also rushed back in the next few days." ”

We talked for a while, and then he hung up in a hurry.

I clicked on WeChat, opened Zhang Xueyao's chat box, and wanted to apologize to her, but I didn't know what to say, I thought for a moment, I said: Xueyao, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't go to that job, my brother is married, I have to go back to my hometown, it may take many days, so you let Sister Zhao recruit someone, thank you for interceding for me again and again.

I looked up and down twice, and then sent it to Zhang Xueyao.

I was about to turn off the screen of my phone, but Zhang Xueyao quickly replied to the message, and she only wrote four words: You bastard.

I chuckled and was about to apologize to her, when Zhang Xueyao sent another message, she wrote: In order to compensate for my loss, come to my house tonight to meet my parents.

My head slammed, why did this girl say this again, I hurriedly replied: I have to take care of the patient, let's go another day.

"No, just today, whoever made you a bad person, if you don't come, I won't care about you anymore."

I thought to myself, this girl is so strong, ten cows can't pull it, anyway, I didn't do it right, she has helped me so much, I have no reason to refuse her.

"Okay, you can pick me up at the hospital then."

She sent a hum and said no more.

At noon, I bought the old woman millet porridge and some light pickles, and bought some fruit and put it on the table, and she looked at me with gratitude on her face and said, "Son, thank you for taking such good care of me, sit down and eat together." ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat together." ”

As soon as I sat down, Zhang Xueyao called, I thought to myself, what happened to this girl at noon, and I hurriedly answered the phone.

"Hey, Xue Yao, what's the matter?"

"Come out, I'm at the entrance of the hospital, and we'll eat together at noon."

"Ah, me."

"What am I, come out quickly."

Zhang Xueyao's mood seemed to be very bad on the phone, and I couldn't offend her, so I had to agree.

The old woman looked at me with a smile on her face and said, "It's my girlfriend, I'm looking for you to eat?" Go ahead, don't let the girl wait. ”

I smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not my girlfriend, you can eat slowly, just put it on the table after eating." ”

I walked out of the hospital gate and saw Zhang Xueyao's car parked on the side of the road, so I opened the door and got in.

I saw Zhang Xueyao's white and tender cheeks flushed, pouting seductive lips, and her eyes with grievances, so I smiled and said, "What's wrong, Miss, who messed with you." ”

She tucked her scattered head behind her ears, glared at me, and said, "You've messed with me." ”

I hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss, it's not that I don't want to go to work, but my brother is married, I can't help but go, extinguish the fire, what are we going to eat?" ”

Zhang Xueyao pursed her lips and said, "I want to eat zongzi." ”

I wondered: "Isn't this the Dragon Boat Festival, how do you think of eating zongzi." ”

She looked at me disdainfully and said: "Who stipulates that you can only eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, meat zongzi, have you ever eaten it, I know that there is a store that makes it delicious." ”

After driving for about ten minutes, I stopped at the door of a restaurant, and when I got out of the car, I looked at the signboard of this small shop.

Since it was lunchtime, the small shop was full of customers, and we stood in front of the bar, looking at the overcrowded restaurant, a little helpless.

At this time, the waiter hurriedly walked over, looked at me and said, "Are you two eating, but you have to wait a few minutes, there is a table of guests who are about to finish eating." ”

I said to the waiter, "Okay, then let's wait for now." ”

Zhang Xueyao and I stood there and looked around, and suddenly, a familiar face came into view, it was Lu Zhibin, who had worked together in the workshop before, and a middle-aged woman sat opposite him, who should be his wife.

Lu Zhibin has always made a good impression on me, and I hurriedly walked over to say hello to him.

When he saw that it was me, he said happily, "Wang Tao? You're right, how did you gain a lot of weight. ”

I quipped, "I got fat when I left that workshop, and I didn't sweat enough to sweat every day when I worked there." ”

After hearing this, he smiled and said, "Makes sense, hey, is this your girlfriend?" ”

He looked at Zhang Xueyao behind me and asked curiously.

When I heard this, I was embarrassed and said, "No, it's a friend." ”

Lu Zhibin said with a wicked smile on his face: "Such a beautiful friend, if you develop slowly, you will also become a daughter-in-law, haha." ”

Zhang Xueyao's cheeks were crimson and she pinched my waist.

I asked Lu Zhibin, "Didn't you go to work today, why did you come here to eat?" ”

"I don't work there anymore and now I own a small supermarket."

I looked at Lu Zhibin, who was shrewd and capable, and admired him in my heart, he was able to work in that workshop for eight or nine years, and I was greatly impressed by this perseverance.

At this time, the waiter came over and said, "Two of you, there is a vacant seat, please come with me." ”

I talked to Lu Zhibin for a few more words, and then followed the waiter to the table that had been cleaned up.

After taking our seats, the waiter handed each of us a menu, Zhang Xueyao ordered four meat dumplings, and I ordered a braised spring bamboo shoots and spicy chicken.

The waiter turned around and walked away with the menu.

Zhang Xueyao looked at me curiously and said, "Who was that person just now, what workshop, is it a garment production workshop?" ”

I said bitterly: "It's not a garment production workshop, when I first came to this city, I worked in a heavy industry workshop for a few months, and the person I met in the workshop just now, he was very nice and upright, and he helped me a lot at that time." ”

She holds her chin with both hands, her beautiful eyes are longing, and she is graceful.

After a while, the waiter held a white plate, on which were placed four meat dumplings, the color was ruddy, and when I took a bite, the entrance was sweet, and the sticky rice seemed to melt in the mouth, which was very delicious.

Braised spring bamboo shoots and spicy chicken are also served, the spring bamboo shoots are crisp and tender, the texture is first-class, whether it is fried, stewed, simmered, stuffy, all become delicious, this dish is difficult to eat in the north, I didn't think that Zhang Xueyao is also a foodie, and she has a lot of research on food, including the meat dumplings, which is also the first time I tasted it.

After the meal, I rushed to check out, and this time I must not ask Zhang Xueyao to pay, because I owe her too much.

She took me back to the hospital and told me in the car: "I'll pick you up at the hospital after work in the evening, and don't miss the appointment or release my pigeons, you know?" ”

I swore by it, "Promise to get the job done." ”

When she went back to work, I walked into the ward and saw a lot of nurses coming in and out, and I hurriedly asked one of the nurses, "What's wrong with the patient?" ”

The nurse looked panicked and said, "The patient is unconscious again." ”
