Wang Mingyuan has never seen Su Ying, not even photos.
The reason why he felt that this woman was Su Ying was more intuition, he felt an inexplicable kindness.
The employees of Mingcheng Electric Machinery Factory were finished, and the woman's expression was a little disappointed.
When the doorman was about to close the door, the woman hurriedly greeted him: "Comrade, may I ask, is there an employee named Wang Baochang in this factory?" β
Wang Mingyuan, who tilted his head to listen to the two of them, saw that the woman was asking about Wang Baochang, and he immediately concluded that this woman was Su Ying.
The doorman looked the woman up and down and thought carefully: "There is an employee named Wang Baochang in the factory, but I don't know if it's the one you said." β
There are too many Chinese people with the same name and surname, often with one name, and it is common to find several people of completely different ages in a small place.
"The Wang Baochang I inquired about is an old educated youth who came back from the Adu Commune under Mang County, and I went to the Office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to confirm that he was placed in your factory." Su Ying said with certainty: "He didn't come to work today? βγ @η²Ύε\/Shuge*First update~~
The doorman looked at the woman with a wary expression: "That should be the same person...... Who are you? What are you looking for him for? As far as I know, apart from a teenager in his family, there are two elderly people who are not very good in their legs and feet, and there is no one else. β
Su Ying hesitated: "I'm ...... A friend of his, who was in the same place at the time, was a young intellectual, and then I went back to Haicheng, and recently I happened to go back to Mingcheng to deal with something, and I stopped by to have a look. β
The doorman nodded and said, "His position is rotated, and he is not at work today, at this time, he should be picking up waste on the street." β
"Picking up waste?" Su Ying was slightly stunned.
"Rotation, the salary is about 20 yuan a month, and there are children to study, and the elderly have to support, and picking up waste is also a helpless move, and life always has to live!" The doorman shook his head and said: "The mother-in-law he found when he was a young man was really ruthless, leaving them behind, this Wang Baochang is a father and a mother, and his life is not easy!" β
Su Ying smiled awkwardly: "Then do you know where he lives?" β
"Oh...... I know this, I live in the old resettlement house in the factory, you go two intersections towards this road, turn into the laneway, and you can see it all the way, there is a sign at the gate of the resettlement house, you can recognize it at a glance, and you can find someone to ask you there. β
"Good...... Thank you, comrade! β
After Su Ying thanked him, he turned around and left the Mingcheng Motor Factory, followed the street, and looked in the direction pointed by the doorman.
Her question saved Wang Mingyuan some trouble.
drove the car to the roadside at the entrance of the roadway that the doorman said, Wang Mingyuan got out of the car, also entered the laneway, followed Su Ying more than 20 meters away, and also walked towards the old resettlement building of the motor factory.
It's rush hour, and people on bicycles or walking home come and go, making the narrow lanes very crowded.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the resettlement building appeared in front of me.
When Su Ying stepped forward to ask someone, Wang Mingyuan waited quietly in the back, listening carefully.
But she didn't want to, she hadn't asked Wang Baochang's dormitory clearly, but she first saw Wang Baochang returning with a basket on his back.
At this time, Wang Baochang's basket had a lot of things, including a shallow basket of soda, champagne bottles, and a lot of toothpaste leather and plastic soles.
He was now covered in dirt, especially on his shoes and trouser legs, which were stained with a lot of mud.
It didn't rain during this time, and my body was so dirty, I must have gone down to the ditch or the garbage heap to rummage through the scrap.
Many people often throw away the bottles left over after drinking soda, and many people's garbage is often dumped into the ditch.
Garbage heaps and ditches are dirty in these years, but they are a treasure trove for many people who pick up waste for money to supplement their families.
Wang Baochang, who walked to the door of the old resettlement building, was also shocked when he saw Su Ying.
The two looked at each other and didn't say a word.
After a long time, Wang Mingchang said: "Follow me!" β
He carried the basket on his back and stepped forward to lead the way.
Su Ying also followed behind without saying a word.
Wang Mingyuan to himself. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Along the way, the two didn't say a word.
Wang Mingchang went to a scrap yard, and when he arrived, he put down the basket and took out all the bottles, toothpaste skins and plastic bottoms inside.
The toothpaste skin weighed three catties, changed for five cents, and the plastic bottom was more expensive, which was also weighed in catties, with seven catties, and changed for two cents for a piece, and the rest was the bottle.
The bottles are sold by a number of points, a three-point, and the personnel of the acquisition station inspect very carefully, reaching out and touching the mouth of the bottle one by one, but all the bottles are slightly damaged, they are eliminated, as long as they are in good condition.
Of the more than fifty bottles, seven were eliminated, and a piece of three cents and five was also called.
This basket of things has been exchanged for a total of three dollars and five points.
It seems like a lot to be able to get three yuan and five cents when I hear it, but in fact, there are not so many harvests every day, and in the whole Ming City, there are many people who make a living by picking up waste, and many people, plastic bottoms, toothpaste skins and various bottles, will also keep them and will not be easily discarded.
Only some of the conditions are better, or those that are inconvenient to carry and place will be thrown away.
In many cases, even picking up scrap depends on luck.
It wasn't until he finished processing the things that Wang Baochang put the basket on his back and walked aside: "Why are you here?" β
"I'm just here to see you and the kids!"
Su Ying bit her lower lip and said after a while, "Is the child okay?" β
"He's very nice, he's serious about his studies, and he's very sensible. As for me, you can see it too, not very good, but also starving. Wang Mingchang paused when he said this, and then looked up at Su Ying: "People have already seen it, you can go." I'm too small, and it's dirty and messy, so don't go. β
Wang Baochang spoke slowly, and there was still a slight smile on his face, but he could see that he was very reluctant, full of resentment.
"I want to see the kids!" Su Ying said apologetically: "I owe him too much." β
"Don't look at it, don't you know, in the more than a year since you returned to the city, he even called his mother in his dreams, and now it's a little better, no longer talking in his dreams, I don't want you to see him again, and let him talk in his dreams for a long time, anyway, you still have to go back to Haicheng after all, you can't look down on our little Mingcheng, why bother to make the child sad again."
After Wang Baochang said this, he turned around and left with the basket on his back.
"I didn't look down on you, I didn't look down on Mingcheng, I also said that I would come back and let you wait for me...... I broke my promise and didn't return to Zhangjiaao within two months, but, as you said, your roots are in Mingcheng, and I also have parents in Haicheng, and I want to come back as soon as possible after I go back, but my parents won't let me live or die, what do you let me do? β
Su Ying's voice suddenly became much louder, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
As soon as this voice came out, even the people at the scrap yard were suddenly alarmed, and a few people walked out and looked at the two people on the side.
When Wang Baochang heard this, he stopped.
Wang Mingyuan looked at this man from a distance, his face was also full of helplessness, and the tears in his eyes were rolling down one after another.
After a while, Wang Baochang rubbed his hair vigorously, and wiped away his tears when he put it down: "Please go back." With that, he took another step and walked away without looking back.
