Chapter 57: Procrastination
Zhou Yuanqi looked at Tong Yan's face and said cautiously: "Once I saw Lao Qian take food from the kitchen and send it to the old man, I saw that you didn't say anything, so I guessed that you must be taking care of the old man." Sister Tong Yan, I know you have a good heart, I'm just worried that old man will cause you trouble. However, I didn't tell anyone, not even my grandfather. ”
Tong Yan felt a little relieved, thought about it, and told Zhou Yuanqi about Dr. Qi's identity and experience, and taught Zhou Yuanqi: "Don't think he's a bad person like everyone else, and don't learn from others to hurt Dr. Qi." This remark made Zhou Yuanqi smile: "Sister Tong Yan, look at the fact that after Dr. Qi came, except for the red soldiers, did the people in our village bully him?"
Tong Yan listened to it and thought about it carefully, but there really wasn't. "We don't like the Red Soldiers either, so we won't respond to their calls. Sister, don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you. If anything, I can help. Zhou Yuanqi patted Tong Yan's chest and reassured.
Tong Yan told Lu Jinzhi what Zhou Yuanqi said, and Lu Jinzhi was slightly comforted. What Zhou Yuanqi said was fulfilled in a few days. Tong Yan was in the house that day, someone called the door in a hurry, Tong Yan opened the door, Zhou Yuanqi grabbed Tong Yan's hand: "Sister, hurry up, the red soldiers are here, and they have already entered the village." ”
Tong Yan ran to the wooden house, and Zhou Yuanqi followed closely. When they arrived at the wooden house, Dr. Qi was holding a small bamboo pole and writing something on the ground, Tong Yan began to pack up the daily necessities in the house, saw Zhou Yuanqi come in, and stuffed things to Zhou Yuanqi: "Hurry up and take these away." Zhou Yuanqi ran out with his things in his arms.
Doctor Qi looked at it, understood, and asked, "Are they here again?" Tong Yan nodded, and continued to pack bits and pieces in her hand. Doctor Qi walked out and stood a few meters away from the wooden house. Tong Yan packed up her things, ran to Dr. Qi's side, and told him: "You go in quickly, whether you are sick or sleeping, don't hang outside." ”
Doctor Qi waved his hand and asked Tong Yan to leave quickly.
More than ten minutes later, a group of red soldiers came to the cabin, looked at the surrounding environment, was barely satisfied, and asked Zhou Yonghai: "What activities have you carried out in the past few days, and how can I see Old Man Qi's spirit getting better and better?"
Zhou Yonghai hurriedly explained: "He was sick before he had only one breath left, and we didn't want to have an accident, plus we had to prepare for farming, and things in the village have been very busy recently, so let him write an examination first, and read it out at the conference when the time comes." ”
The man was obviously not satisfied with such an answer, and was about to speak, when a man in a white shirt next to him spoke: "Since Shiwan Village has not done its work properly, then today is a good opportunity, notify all the villagers to have a meeting together in the evening, and we can also guide the work of the village brigade." ”
The man felt that it made sense when he heard it, so he asked Zhou Yonghai to go down and prepare. Zhou Yonghai glanced at the man in the white shirt, looking at his face, his mind was so vicious. Zhou Yonghai spurned him countless times in his heart, but the situation was stronger than people, so he had to nod and agree.
Those people escorted Dr. Qi to the village office, Tong Yan watched them from a short distance, and when she saw the man in the white shirt, Tong Yan was shocked: Isn't that person Wu Beijiang? How did he come here?
Wu Beijiang has left the second machinery factory, after the matter of Accounting Yuan and Accounting Zhang, Wu Beijiang behaved very actively, running to the workshop at two ends in three days, pulling individuals to report various misbehaviors of Accounting Yuan and Accounting Zhang, Director Feng was very impatient about this. For Director Feng, it is enough to handle the things in the factory, and as for other messy things, he doesn't want to get involved at all.
Wu Beijiang thought that the factory looked down on his ability, and the big guy excluded him, holding back a wave of resentment in his heart. Later, someone in the town extended an olive branch to him, and Wu Beijiang simply left the No. 2 Machinery Factory. As a result of his positive performance, he is now a squadron leader of a Red Soldier. This time he came to Shiwan Village to do exchanges, he was determined to show his ability and look forward to a higher position, and Dr. Qi was a good breakthrough.
The group escorted Dr. Qi to the village office, and Tong Yan turned around to find Lu Jinzhi. Lu Jinzhi got the news and asked Tong Yan to go back and wait first, and rushed to the village office by himself.
When Tong Yan walked back, someone stopped her: "Are you Comrade Tong Yan?" Tong Yan saw that it was a strange young man with a big crossbody bag on his chest, and he didn't know what was going on, so he nodded. The man took several letters from his satchel and handed them to her. It turned out that the letters sent last time have been replied to now. Tong Yan hurriedly thanked the postman, and the postman asked her again: "Do you know where Comrade Lu Jinzhi is? ”
"Then give it all to me, I am Comrade Lu Jinzhi's lover. Tong Yan held out her hand to him.
The postman smiled: "I see, here are two letters, for you." After speaking, he added: "Your family has a lot of letters." Tong Yan explained to him that because she had just arrived here, she would inevitably have more contact with her family and friends. The postman also understood, said goodbye to Tong Yan with a smile, and added to Tong Yan when he left: "If there is an emergency, it is best not to write a letter, Shiwan Village is remote, and the town post office regularly delivers letters, and it takes a long time to come and go, and the town post office now has a telephone and telegram, and you can use that if you are in a hurry." After thanking him, Tong Yan took the letter and went home.
Tong Yan opened the letter, the first letter was replied by Tian's sister-in-law, and Xiaodouzi ghostwrote, in addition to saying hello, she just talked about some short things in the family. The second letter was written by Wang Li, she and Liu Zhonghua confirmed their relationship, since Tong Yan and the others left, she has almost no friends, Li Fangfang is married, she is not good to always trouble others. Liu Zhonghua has always been very attentive, so he talked about the object naturally. The third letter was written by Li Fangfang, with a few sentences: I have successfully given birth to a cute fat doll, remember to send my birthday gift.
Tong Yan was amused by Li Fangfang, thinking about what kind of gifts she needed to prepare to make her happy.
The fourth letter was sent by Accountant Xu, who asked Tong Yan to study hard as always, and specifically mentioned Wu Beijiang in the letter, explaining in detail that Wu Beijiang left the machinery factory and was transferred to be a red soldier, and also revealed some information about Wu Beijiang's family to Tong Yan. Tong Yan read it several times, and always felt that Accountant Xu's letter was a little unusual.
At this time, in the village office, Zhou Yonghai was dealing with those people. For their various requests, Zhou Yonghai barely coped with them with a twelve-point spirit, and scolded people hundreds of times in his heart. Seeing Lu Jinzhi at the door, he quickly dragged Lu Jinzhi in. Lu Jinzhi originally came for Dr. Qi, but he still pretended to be embarrassed on his face. Zhou Yonghai didn't care about that, and introduced it to everyone.
Lu Jinzhi looked at Wu Beijiang and looked at Wu Beijiang coldly. Wu Beijiang had a shallow smile on his face and greeted Lu Jinzhi.
"I didn't expect it to be Comrade Wu's acquaintance! Then we can talk better. "The leader is surnamed Sun, with eight-character eyebrows, triangular eyes, and a treacherous face. knew that Lu Jinzhi was from City B, and saw that he had an extraordinary temperament, and he intended to have a relationship with Lu Jinzhi. The smile on Lu Jinzhi's face deepened a little, and they exchanged pleasantries.
Captain Sun proposed to take Dr. Qi to various villages to take turns to do inspections and hold a general meeting. Lu Jinzhi looked at the sky outside and proposed: "I'm tired for most of the day today, and it takes time to go to various villages, and it's too late to get there." It's better to have a meal together and talk while eating. I still have a good bottle of wine, would you be interested in trying it?"
When a group of people heard this, they were all a little moved. Very few villages are willing to entertain them to eat, and now the food is expensive, and now the people from the big cities invite them to drink, which is unprecedented, and they have all the face. Everyone looked at Captain Sun, and Wu Beijiang understood Lu Jinzhi's purpose - to hold them back.
Wu Beijiang grabbed Captain Sun: "Captain Sun, we can't take a stitch from the masses! Eating is even more contrary to our discipline, which is not in accordance with the rules." ”
Captain Sun was originally full of joy, but when he was splashed with cold water from Wu Beijiang, he was not happy. Although his face was not revealed, he said in his heart: It's just that they came to learn from each other, educate me like my leader, give you a few colors, and want to open a dyeing workshop.
Lu Jinzhi looked at Captain Sun's face and smiled even more: "Comrade Wu, what you said is wrong, it's just a meal, you are usually busy, and it is rare to have time to come to us." We also need your guidance for work here, and the people in the village also need to study hard with you, and everyone exchanges feelings. ”
When Captain Sun heard this, his heart was very comfortable. After a sip of promise, Lu Jinzhi said that he would go back and get the wine, and left. Zhou Yonghai looked at Lu Jinzhi, and he understood a little in his heart, and led people to his home with a smiling face, and his heart ached: I don't know how many things are going to harm my family.
When Lu Jinzhi returned home, he asked Tong Yan to bring something to eat. Tong Yan didn't understand what was going on, Lu Jinzhi briefly talked about the village office, but now Lu Jinzhi didn't think of any way to leave Dr. Qi behind. If Dr. Qi is really taken away, not to mention whether he can be brought back, even if he goes, Dr. Qi will have to take off a layer of skin. Tong Yan remembered those letters, gave him Lu Jinzhi's two letters, and after Lu Jinzhi read them hastily, she handed Accountant Xu's letter to Lu Jinzhi.
Lu Jinzhi looked at it for a long time, and suddenly showed a smile, but the smile was a little gloomy. Tong Yan looked at Lu Jinzhi like this, her heart was furious, and she pushed him. Lu Jinzhi raised his head, the smile on his face was much gentler, he grabbed Tong Yan, kissed her fiercely on the face, and said with a smile: "This is back with a timely rain." ”
