Chapter 43: Leaving the Town
After sending Liu Zhonghua away, Tong Yan and Lu Jinzhi talked about it. Lu Jinzhi knows a little bit about it, and he also knows that someone wants to suppress him, and in addition to the matter of the machinery factory recently, he is also busy with this matter. Tong Yan was puzzled, "Why do you want this honor?" Lu Jinzhi explained: "Since I am going to leave, I always have to go somewhere, where to go, and in what capacity, it is very particular, after all, we are likely to stay there for a long time, with such an honor, it is naturally more convenient for my father to arrange things." Only then did Tong Yan understand that there were such twists and turns.
Tong Yan was also a little worried about Liu Zhonghua, Lu Jinzhi smiled and comforted her: "Although the old man of the Liu family has temporarily retired, there are other people in the Liu family, Liu Zhonghua has just reined in, but he was bullied to the head, and the Liu family can't react, otherwise anyone can take care of them in the future." This time, my business is also to give those people a little color. What's more, this time he is also a meritorious man, and he also saves capital. Tong Yan felt that it was so complicated, and asked with a smile, "Do I have a reward?" Lu Jinzhi looked at Tong Yan, his eyes were slightly deep, "You sacrifice your life to save you, I naturally want to make a promise, is such a reward enough?" was hugged by Lu Jinyi, bowed his head and kissed him, Tong Yan quickly softened her body and surrendered. After Lu Jinzhi left, Tong Yan touched her red and swollen lips, and secretly thought that Lu Jinzhi must stay away from him when he drinks in the future.
A few days later, Lu Jinzhi's commendation came down, and Lu Jinzhi was very happy to discuss it with Tong Yan, called Liu Zhonghua over, and invited Liu Zhonghua to have a big dinner.
Liu Zhonghua saw a table of dishes, counted them, eight dishes, six of them were hard dishes, and saw that Tong Yan was still busy working, so he hurriedly said: "Little sister-in-law, it's enough, it's worth it today." Lu Jinzhi glared at him, "Jiang Han didn't come, you were infected by him." Either it's a name, or it's a sister-in-law, what is a little sister-in-law?" Liu Zhonghua restrained his expression and became a lot more serious. Tong Yan likes to watch them fight, and she is not angry, so she asked Liu Zhonghua to sit down, poured a glass of wine, and the three of them chatted while eating.
Of course, it also talked about Lu Jinzhi and Tong Yan. Lu Jinzhi said: "When these things are dealt with, I will go back to get a marriage certificate and hold a wedding, and I will basically be ready to leave." ”
"The place is set?" asked Liu Zhonghua.
"The general direction is set. Lu Jinzhi and Liu Zhonghua touched their glasses, and after taking a sip, they were both silent.
Tong Yan saw that the atmosphere was not right, and asked Lu Jinzhi: "When will you go back to City B?" and "Next month at the latest." ”
"Are you coming back? Tong Yan asked.
Lu Jinzhi thought for a while, "It is estimated that we will start directly from City B." Won't be coming back. ”
Liu Zhonghua quipped: "It seems that I am going to prepare a congratulatory gift, when will I do something, I will go back to attend your wedding, it is estimated that Jiang Han will not be able to catch up, don't worry, I will go back and tell him, let him prepare the gift money, and I will bring it to you." Tong Yan was amused by him, and the atmosphere became lively again.
After a while, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard, Tong Yan opened the door, and found that it was Wang Li, the little girl's eyes were slightly red, obviously crying. Tong Yan hurriedly brought people into the house, Wang Li didn't expect that there were still people in the house, and she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. Liu Zhonghua greeted her naturally as if he didn't see her red eyes. Tong Yan was surprised, "You know each other." Liu Zhonghua explained: "I was a little uncomfortable last time, I went to the health center to get some medicine, and I met once. Wang Li looked at Liu Zhonghua, a little embarrassed, and only nodded. Knowing that Wang Li hadn't eaten yet, he pulled her to sit down and eat. Wang Li was a little restrained, and Tong Yan had almost eaten, so she simply took Wang Li to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles for her.
A bowl of steaming noodles soothed Wang Li's stomach and stabilized her mood a lot. Wang Li ran out today because of a conflict with her family. Recently, life at home has not been very easy, because of the previous incident, Wang Li's father has been in a bad mood, changed positions, and has less income; Wang Li's mother is useless, distressed about the less money, and chatters every day; sister-in-law is about to give birth to a child, and she doesn't go to work anymore, and she dislikes Wang Li for not getting married. As a result, no one in the family was on her side, and she ran out in anger. In the end, Wang Li still regretted it, I knew that this was the case, I should have gone to the machinery factory in the first place, so that I could live in a dormitory. Tong Yan sighed when she heard this, there will be absolutely no sanitary center in the machinery factory in the future!
Tong Yan thought that her dormitory was empty for the time being, so it was better to let Wang Li go and live first. I told Wang Li about this. Wang Li likes the small dormitory very much, it is a quiet place for her.
The next day, Tong Yan said hello to Director Feng, only saying that she would stay for a few days, and Director Feng sold his favor and agreed. In the evening, Tong Yan helped Wang Li move her things into her dormitory.
Lu Jinzhi was also very happy, so that Tong Yan could live in her own home with peace of mind, and after a while, he would help her withdraw from the dormitory. Tong Yan knew that she wouldn't be in Lin'an Town for long, and wanted to go to the courtyard where she used to live again, so she took some food from the space and went to Sister-in-law Tian's house. Sister-in-law Hetian said that she had dealt with the object and was about to get married, Sister-in-law Tian was so happy that she was not happy, and shouted to prepare some congratulatory gifts for Tong Yan, Uncle Cao was also happy to congratulate Tong Yan on the side, Tong Yan also told everyone, and she may have to go to other places in the future, and she will not stay in the machinery factory. Besides, it's a good thing that Tong Yan has a home. Sister-in-law Tian wiped a handful of tears, nodded straight, and muttered in her mouth, good thing, good thing.
Tong Yan left her things and left a contact address for everyone, and when she went out, she saw a big lock hanging on the house rented by Zhang Lanlan. Sister-in-law Tian saw Tong Yan looking over there and explained, "Zhao Jianshe took the two children back to his hometown to farm. Tong Yan smiled at Sister-in-law Chaotian and left the small courtyard.
After that, Tong Yan went to see Sister Li again, and Sister Li saw Tong Yan and shouted: "Rare guest! Tong Yan was said to be embarrassed, she really didn't come for a day. Tong Yan brought a lot of things this time, and Sister Li didn't refuse. Recently, Sister Li's life has not been as good as before. The reason is that Sister Li's original position was pried off, and that person was a relative of the leader of the Revolutionary Committee, and Sister Li was assigned a drudgery. Sister Li can see it, and she can't fight anyone else, so she obediently let it out. Tong Yan looked at Sister Li's dress more plain than before, and comforted her. Sister Li still smiled, and talked about her son Gao Yue, Gao Yue was bent on becoming a soldier, but Sister Li couldn't resist him, she had already relented, and then she was waiting for recruitment. Knowing that Tong Yan was going to get married, Sister Li took out a piece of bright red material and handed it to Tong Yan: "Don't dislike it, it's something that has been put away for a few years, and now I don't need it, it's just right for you to get married." Tong Yan touched the material, thick and soft, and smiled next.
Leaving Sister Li's house, Tong Yan walked on this familiar dirt road, Lin Anzhen, leaving her many good memories, maybe time will fade the memories, but they can't be forgotten.
Tong Yan greeted Accountant Xu privately and told Old Man Xu that he was leaving the machinery factory. Old man Xu admired this girl very much, sighed when he heard this, and only said that he would let Tong Yan take Han Ling well. Tong Yan nodded.
When she returned home, Tong Yan was a little stunned, Lu Jinzhi gave Tong Yan a message, which made Tong Yan immediately cheer up, Liu Zhonghua was pursuing Wang Li. Tong Yan suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, these two people had met once! Lu Jinzhi corrected it twice. The first time was at the health center, the second time was at our house. Tong Yan felt that love at first sight would not happen to Liu Zhonghua. Lu Jinzhi said coldly: "When fate arrives, I can't stop it." Besides, Wang Li's type is Liu Zhonghua's favorite. Tong Yan was speechless.
When Tong Yan heard the news, her heart was itching, and she took advantage of the noon break to run to Wang Li to ask about the situation, Wang Li's performance was very flat, only saying that Liu Zhonghua had found her a few times later, she didn't have too many feelings for Liu Zhonghua, although she didn't know Liu Zhonghua's background and identity, but it was definitely not simple to grow up with Lu Jinzhi, and she was not worthy of others. Tong Yan felt that Wang Li was very sober, and those who had died once were alive and well.
Emotional matters are not something that Tong Yan can interfere in, and Tong Yan doesn't ask much, Lu Jinzhi has already submitted an application, and after waiting for approval, he will go back to Lu's house with Tong Yan.
In the late spring, Tong Yan and Lu Jinzhi were about to leave Lin'an Town, and Sister-in-law Tian brought Xiaodouzi, Han Li, Han Ling, Accountant Xu, Li Fangfang, Wang Li and Liu Zhonghua to come. Sister-in-law Tian cried like a tearful person, took Tong Yan's hand, and said vigorously: "You have time to come back to see us, we are all thinking of you." Little Bean has grown a lot taller, and she is also wiping her tears on the side. Tong Yan took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears for Sister-in-law Tian, and coaxed Xiaodouzi for a long time before persuading people to be good, and Sister-in-law Tian made a set of clothes for Tong Yan and two pairs of cloth shoes. told her vigorously: "Although it is not too fancy, it is all good cloth and it is strong." The shoes are made by myself, soft and that, you can know when you wear them, and the feet are comfortable. ”
Han Li and Han Ling have a good relationship now, the two came over together, and took a big bag of food to Tong Yan: "The food on the road, the two of us rushed out overnight." Accountant Xu made a straight face and said to Lu Jinzhi: "Tong Yan will be handed over to you, treat her well." You're lucky to find her. Lu Jinzhi hurriedly said that he would never dare to bully Tong Yan. The old man snorted and said to Tong Yan: "No matter where you go, we are your mother's family, and if you are wronged, you will come back, and the machinery factory will still be able to take you in." Tong Yan smiled and nodded, and Lu Jinzhi glared at Tong Yan.
Old man Xu took out two books and handed them to Tong Yan: "Although you don't work in the machinery factory anymore, you still have to learn the skills you should learn well, this is the information I compiled myself, it should be useful to you, take it!" Tong Yan took the two crumpled books, looked at the old man's growing gray hair, felt sour in her heart, and replied with tears in her eyes: "I will study hard." Old man Xu turned his head and stopped talking.
Li Fangfang's belly bulged slightly, and she said with a little resentment: "If you go back this time, you can't catch up with me to give birth, and when my child falls to the ground, the birth ceremony can't be forgotten." Tong Yan was originally a little sad, but when she said it, she burst into tears and laughed, and patted her lightly, "Why did you start to be obsessed with money, just remember to ask me for a gift." ”
Tong Yan looked at Wang Li and only said, "Take good care of yourself," glanced at Liu Zhonghua again, lowered her voice and said to Wang Li: "No matter what decision you make, we will support you." Wang Li's face was slightly red, and she nodded with shame, "Thank you for renting me the small courtyard." ”
Tong Yan left the machinery factory, the dormitory naturally retreated, Wang Li had no place to live, Tong Yan discussed with Lu Jinzhi, rented the small courtyard to Wang Li, and gave some money every month. Wang Li knew that Tong Yan was helping her, and before parting, she handed Tong Yan a small baggage, which was a sweater. With the help of Liu Zhonghua, Wang Li got the wool and specially knitted it for Tong Yan. Tong Yan knew that this must have cost Wang Li a lot of effort. A thank you made everyone feel alive, looked at each other and smiled, and the friendship was all in words.
In the sound of the train's whistle, Tong Yan left, and together with Lu Jinyi, ran towards a more difficult future.
