Zhong Manman was very moved, wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, bit his lip and said, "I'll give you the gas fee, the toll fee, and the labor fee...... But I don't have much money right now, and I can't give it to you until I go back to the unit next time. ”

"Yes."

Xu Xin nodded and agreed.

Uncle Ge escorted Zhong Manman to the car with an umbrella, Xu Xin didn't catch the umbrella handed over by the person next to him, ran into the rain in three or two steps, got into the car and started to leave directly.

The heating was on in the car.

Melodious music, echoing softly.

Zhong Manman's mood was much quieter, and he shrank in the seat in a daze.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Xu Xin drove at night and was also worried about distraction, so he took the initiative to speak.

"My mom was injured and hospitalized." Zhong Manman has probably been crying for too long, and his voice is a little hoarse.

"Serious or not?" Xu Xin said with concern.

"I don't know." She frowned.

It is the lack of understanding of the specific situation that makes it doubly worrying.

Seeing that she was still very sad, Xu Xin changed the topic and said: "How long has it been since this happened, and your editor Shu hasn't turned you into a regular yet?" ”

"It's coming." Zhong Manman replied with some reluctance.

"What do you mean it's fast? It's not uncommon to find a serious and responsible employee like you. If you really can't be a reporter, come to our company, we are recently discussing the establishment of a propaganda department, and a talent with writing skills like you is exactly what our company is eager for. ”

"I can do it."

"The salary on our side is not low, and there are development prospects!"

"When are you going to give us an interview?" Zhong Manman was really attracted to attention, and his sad mood lightened slightly, "Now many people on the Internet are talking about you, as long as you give us an interview, you will definitely be able to become famous!"

When I write a report, I must praise you for being a good boss! ”

"Then I'll thank you in advance." Xu Xin said with a smile.

Without a word of small talk, the car sped on the highway for more than five hours, and when it arrived at the small county town in the southwest of Heijin Province, it was already midnight.

The closer he got to his hometown and looked at the familiar scenery around him, Zhong Manman became more and more anxious, and kept showing Xu Xin the way.

Soon they arrived at the county hospital, to the ward.

There are not many patients in the county hospital, and at this time, many patients are already asleep, and occasionally family members walk around the corridors.

The lights in the ward are on, and there is only one patient on the three beds.

In addition to the patient, there were three family members, two lying down and one sitting next to the patient napping.

Hearing the movement, the person sitting suddenly woke up, looked back, and found that it was Zhong Manman, quickly stood up, and whispered: "Why did you come so fast?" ”

The middle-aged woman in the hospital bed was already asleep, with white gauze wrapped around her head.

"What's wrong with my mom?" Zhong Manman's tears couldn't help but flow down again.

"Outside, don't make a noise until you go to bed."

A woman who was somewhat similar to Zhong Manman pulled Zhong Manman out.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhong Manman asked anxiously.

"Your mother had to work in the field, and the wheel hit a stone, and she fell down the slope, and her head hit the stone." The woman looked up at Xu Xin curiously, and said in a few words, "Fortunately, we found it in time, and we were sent to the hospital immediately, with more than a dozen stitches on the forehead, and the person is fine." ”

"Why was she so careless!" Hearing the news, Zhong Manman's tears flowed down.

"Okay, okay, it's okay anymore, just pay attention in the future."

The woman took out a tissue and gently wiped Zhong Manman's tears, and it could be seen that they had a very close relationship.

After calming Zhong Manman's emotions, she couldn't help but stare at Xu Xin curiously, "Why did you come back in the middle of the night?" Didn't I ask you to come back tomorrow morning, why are you in such a hurry? ”

"He sent me back." Zhong Manman pointed at Xu Xin.

"My name is Xu Xin." Xu Xin introduced himself with a smile.

"Hello." The woman is still very enthusiastic, "My Zhong Manqian is Zhong Manman's cousin." Thank you for sending Manman back. ”

"It's okay, let's help each other."

Xu Xin was very modest and pointed to the inside of the ward, "That, can I help with anything?" ”

"No, the wound is well tied, and I will check it again tomorrow morning, and if there is no problem, I can be discharged directly from the hospital."

"That's good." Xu Xin reassured Zhong Manman, fortunately there was no big problem, "It's not early, are you hungry, I'll go out and buy some supper." ”

He originally planned to finish eating in the mine, but before he could eat in a hurry, he received a call from the office and drove all the way here, and he was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back.

Now I was hungry and sleepy, so I went to the hospital to find food near the hospital.

Zhong Manman and Zhong Manqian stood at the door of the ward, chatting in a low voice.

"Sister, don't lie to me, why is my mother okay?" Zhong Manman is still not at ease.

"What did I lie to you, I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." Zhong Manqian pointed to the back of the corridor gradually moving away, and asked curiously: "Who is that person, is your boyfriend?"

You can find such a handsome boyfriend. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, he's not my boyfriend, he's the owner of a company."

"The boss of the company? Didn't you work at a TV station and changed jobs? ”

"I didn't change jobs, I just wanted to interview him...... Oops, I can't tell you clearly. ”

"Really the boss of the company?"

"Really!"

"People are the boss, why should they send you back, idle?" Zhong Manqian suddenly thought of a strange possibility, "He won't have a wife and children, and then return the ...... with you Have you become a canary? ”

"Don't talk nonsense! I can't be such a person, and if I did, I'd rather die! Zhong Manman swore an oath.

"Okay, I'm kidding you, he looks young, what kind of company is it?"

"He's only twenty-two years old, and he's very rich."

"How much money?"

"I don't know, anyway, their company has a gold mine and a diamond mine, and I heard that the diamond mine is worth 50 billion ......."

"Five hundred billion?" Zhong Manqian almost screamed, covering her mouth and trying to calm down, "I work as a waiter in a restaurant, and it's only more than 3,000 yuan a month." Five hundred billion, I'll do the math...... I've got to earn a million years. ”

Zhong Manman thought about it, shook his head and said: "That 50 billion is the economic value, and in the end, it doesn't seem to be that much." ”

"No matter how much you get, you're a big deal!" Zhong Manqian was surprised by Xu Xin's identity, and suddenly became worried about Zhong Manman, "He is handsome and has money, why do you fall in love with you?" ”

"He didn't take a fancy to me."

"No way, or I wouldn't have driven you that far to see you back."

"I won't tell you."

Zhong Manman walked into the ward, sat on the edge of the bed, and carefully tucked the quilt.

Xu Xin came back with two suppers, stood in the ward for about ten minutes, was really sleepy, said to Zhong Manman, and went out to sleep in a room.

When she came in the morning, Zhong Manman was already going through the procedures for her mother to be discharged from the hospital.

Because of the rural medical insurance, the total number of hospitalization fees, surgery fees, and medicine fees is quite high, but after excluding the reimbursement part, it is actually not much paid.

Xu Xin must have helped to the end, and when he was about to send Zhong Manman's mother home, he was surprised to find that the middle-aged woman who was lying on the hospital bed last night came out of the elevator in a wheelchair.

With the help of relatives and friends, after carrying Zhong Manman's mother to the car at the entrance of the hospital building, Zhong Manman also got in.

When Zhong Manqian saw Xu Xin, she was a little nervous in her heart, and she always felt that she was facing an amazing big man.

"The car can't sit down, I'll take your car, just to show you the way." She sent a warm invitation to Xu Xin, "Come all the way, why do you want to go to our village to have a look, let us entertain you once." ”

Xu Xin drove the car and followed behind the car, without Zhong Manqian pointing the way.

Zhong Manqian sat in the co-pilot, her expression a little stiff, "You have a lot of money for this car, such a big one." ”

"Well, now the price of the car is generally close to the people, it's okay." Xu Xin smiled.

"You don't have anything to do with me?" Zhong Manqian is obviously more concerned about this issue, because she is worried that Zhong Manman will be bullied, so she has to ask clearly.

"Friends." Xu Xin's answer was brief.

"Friends?" Zhong Manqian didn't know how to deal with it, her brain was a little dull, and she wanted to stop talking, and after thinking about it for a long time, she said solemnly: "You have to be kind to us Zhong Manman, she has been pitiful since she was a child." ”

"Okay." Xu Xin smiled.

"She left when she was in elementary school, and her mother was disabled at that time, and she couldn't feel both legs.

Since she was in junior high school, she has planted the grain land at home by herself, and our relatives usually work outside and can only help in our free time. ”

Zhong Manqian couldn't help but talk about Zhong Manman's experience, and her tone was gloomy, "She finally finished college, she should have a better life, but she can't be bullied anymore." ”

Xu Xin was silent for a long time when he heard this, no wonder he could always feel a strong and simple temperament in Zhong Manman's body.

"If I had known that her experience was so miserable, I would have helped her earlier." He said slowly.

"She doesn't need to help anything, she is very diligent at home, she does all kinds of housework very quickly, the stir-fry is delicious, her temper is also very good, she has big eyes and round eyes, and she is very pleasing." Zhong Manqian found what she thought was good and praised Zhong Manman, "Just be nice to her, don't scold." ”

"I can't." Xu Xin turned his head sideways, showing a sincere smile, and his big white teeth were very dazzling.

After an hour's winding road, they arrived at a village with few households, and some of the houses were still old wooden attics, which were quite old.

It is located on the top of the mountain, far away from the bustle, there is a stream in front of the village, and the four tables of the creek are scattered with terraced fields.

Green trees sprout all around, fruit trees bloom, and the mountains rise and fall in the distance.

It's like a paradise, with insects chirping, frogs barking, and the occasional dog barking.
