Chapter 6, A Visitation from a Friend
Just walk like that? Wang Wendi said.
Wu Xu: Let's walk, although it is not far from the company to Anping County, there is no shuttle bus now, and even motorcycles can't be taxied, so I can only walk. Don't worry, it's not far, and it takes less than an hour to walk.
On the way to Anping County, there are no street lights, no vehicles passing by, here was originally a remote and backward place, only because of the entry of Taiwan Cement Anping Cement Co., Ltd., the county government plans to build a large passage to Anping County, but the avenue is still under construction, and the roadbed has been formed. Since the beginning of the rainy season, this section of the road has become potholed due to the crushing of large trucks. After walking for about an hour, I finally came to Anping County People's Hospital.
Wu Xu and Wang Wendi bought some fruit and a piece of milk and came to Wang Gang's bed in the hospital. After two days of treatment, Wang Gang's body has basically recovered, and the wound where he was bruised when he was electrocuted has healed.
Master Wang, how are you recovering, Wendi Wang and I have come to see you, Wu Xu said.
Wang Gang: Brother, come here, whatever else you buy, it's all your own brothers, you are too outside. This is the hospital, so I won't tell you to sit.
Wu Xu: Zhang Duanchang and Yao Gong are also here, good evening.
Zhang Youxiang: The two brothers are here, and they will be brothers in the future, you're welcome. Wang Gang, thanks to Xiao Xu this time, you have to thank others after being discharged from the hospital. Wu Xu, your luck is too good, you have been praised by two companies within three days, and you have been rewarded with two thousand oceans, when will you invite us to eat something.
Wu Xu: It's all Zhang Duanchang's good leadership, originally the day before yesterday I was going to invite Zhang Duanchang, Yao Gong and Wang Shi to get together, and I have already reported to Wang Shi, because there was an accident that day, so it's now. Why don't we go for a late-night snack tonight!
Zhang Youxiang: Just kidding, where do I have time to accompany you!
Yao Dunhua: Yes, Wu Xu, our Zhang Duan Chang is busy with Director Yu and the company's leaders, and he is also with the leaders of other sections, you usually want to invite him, I don't know when the queue will last.
Wang Gang: Xiao Xu, I am not in the section during this time, you study hard, and everything is arranged by Zhang Duanchang and Yao Gong.
Wu Xu: Knowing Master Wang, you should rest well, your body is important.
Brother Xu... Brother Xu... Why are you? I'm not mistaken. A female nurse asked Wu Xu.
… Ah..., Sister Yan, why are you, are you working in this department, I am so happy to see you, Wu Xu said.
I've been rotating for two weeks now, and it's over in three weeks. Did you really come to work for Taiwan Cement Anping Cement Co., Ltd.? Why don't you come to me, the phone can't get through.
Wu Xu: Sister Yan, it's a long story, I'll talk to you in detail when I have time! This patient is my master Wang Gang, please help me take care of him if it is convenient for you in the hospital.
Liu Yan: Okay, Brother Xu, your business is my business, and I guarantee good service.
Wu Xu: Sister Yan, when are you going to get off work, or let's find a place to talk.
Liu Yan: I get off work at half past nine, can you wait?
Wu Xu: You can wait, you can wait at any time.
Wu Xu, we are waiting for you,... Hahaha..., Zhang Youxiang and Yao Dunhua said in unison.
Wu Xu: In that case, let's go outside and find a place to wait for you first. How about Zhang Duanchang and Yao Gong?
Zhang Youxiang: Okay, then, Wang Gang, you should have a good rest first, we will come to see you another day, rest assured about work, we are here.
Wang Gang: I'll bother you.
Good bye... Goodbye, see you later, beauty, Yao Dunhua said.
Wu Xu found a small barbecue restaurant on the snack street, and when he just sat down, Liu Yan had already taken a taxi from work in advance.
Zhang Youxiang: Wu Xu, don't you introduce these two beauties?
Liu Yan: Good evening leaders, I am Wu Xu's good friend Liu Yan, now working in Anping County People's Hospital, this is my best friend Qiu Ping, unemployed, very happy to meet everyone.
Zhang Youxiang poured a full cup of beer, handed a glass to Liu Yan and Qiu Ping, and said: I am two beautiful women, my name is Zhang Youxiang, I am the leader of Wu Xu, I have no friends in Anping, I am very happy to meet the two, I toast the two of you with a glass, and please appreciate your face.
Liu Yan: Thank you, Chief Duan, I don't drink alcohol, but I can meet Wu Xu and his leaders today, and the opportunity is rare, so I will drink less. So Liu Yan and Qiu Ping picked up their wine glasses and prepared to drink them. Qiu Ping drank it all, Liu Yan took a sip of it, and grabbed it after taking a small sip.
Yao Dunhua: Beauty, why do you drink so much? The wine is full of respect, so drink it all.
Liu Yan: I'm sorry, I really can't drink, let everyone laugh.
Zhang Youxiang: What's the matter, don't give face, this is not good.
Wu Xu: Sister Yan, you can drink a little bit, and I will drink the rest of the wine, so Wu Xu drank Liu Yan's wine. Liu Yan looked at Wu Xu and expressed her agreement and gratitude.
Yao Dunhua: Wu Xu, this is not good, aren't you afraid that other people's boyfriends will have ideas?
Liu Yan: I'm sorry, I don't have a boyfriend.
Yao Dunhua: I don't have a boyfriend, Wu Xu, do you agree with me chasing your sister Yan?
Wu Xu: My sister Yan is the goddess in my heart, my good sister, I will protect her. As long as I can see Sister Yan, of course I support it, as long as you have the ability to win her approval, I can still help you, but my Sister Yan's talent, beauty, and charm are not comparable to ordinary people, are you sure you can do it?
Liu Yan looked at Wu Xu, and Qiu Ping looked at Liu Yan. Everyone toasted each other, Liu Yan drank very little, Zhang Youxiang, Yao Dunhua, etc. wanted to behave in front of Liu Yan and Qiu Ping, and secondly wanted to suppress Wu Xu and prove that he was Prince Charming, so they kept looking for opportunities to drink for Wu Xu. Liu Yan's own wine, Wu Xu drank it without hesitation, and the wine that others deliberately let Wu Xu drink, he couldn't refuse, and finally couldn't hold on, so Qiu Ping sat next to Wu Xu, patted him on the back and said: It's okay, leave it to me.
Seeing that everyone was almost drunk, Qiu Ping ordered another beer, opened three bottles by herself, handed Zhang Youxiang and Yao Dunhua three bottles each, and said: The little woman is not talented, so she took the liberty of respecting the two leaders, so she drank two bottles in one go. Zhang Youxiang and Yao Dunhua had to drink two bottles each. Qiu Ping drank another bottle, Zhang Youxiang had already broadcast live, and fell asleep directly on the table. When he finished drinking the last bottle, Yao Dunhua couldn't do it anymore, and directly asked Wang Wendi to take a taxi and leave.
As soon as they left, Qiu Ping also bluntly said that she couldn't do it, and she vomited, Wu Xu was still sober and sent Qiu Ping home with Liu Yan.
Qiu Ping: No, Brother Xu, Xiaoyan, I can't walk. After speaking, Qiu Ping fell directly to the ground.
Wu Xu: I'll carry you, so Wu Xu picked up Qiu Ping and walked towards Liu Yan's house, because Wu Xu also drank too much, so Liu Yan had to help the two go back while walking.
Wu Xu hugged Qiu Ping on Liu Yan's bed, Liu Yan helped her clean it, covered the quilt, and said: Brother Xu, it's all my fault, I can't help you.
Wu Xu: Sister Yan, thank you so much. Thank you also Sister Qiuping, I'll come to see you another day.
Liu Yan: When do you go to work tomorrow, I'll look for you.
After Wu Xu returned to the dormitory, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning, because the mobile phone was out of battery, so when he went to the dormitory to charge and turn on, he received three text messages. One was sent by Zhang Youxiang, saying: You are doing well, send me a call from Liu Yan. One was Yao Dunhua's hair and said: I'm going to start chasing you Sister Yan, help brother. One was sent by Liu Yan, saying: Brother Xu, I'm glad that you really came to work in Anping, and you will accompany me more in the future.
When I woke up the next day, Wu Xu went to work normally, Zhang Youxiang and Yao Dunhua took the initiative to ask: Wu Xu, do you have any arrangements for tonight?
Wu Xu: Oh, Duan Chang, there is no arrangement, no chance to arrange.
Yao Dunhua: Good boy, remember to call us if there is anything good in the future.
Wu Xu and Wang Wendi started their normal work, they worked harder than anyone else, they have a sense of responsibility, and they have established communication relationships with other colleagues in the section, other colleagues in the branch and even some colleagues in the company, and the work is gradually on the right track.
After getting off work that day, Liu Yan really came.
As soon as he got off work, Wu Xu quickly ran out of the company's gate, waiting intently at the stop, and finally Liu Yan got off the bus with a big bag and a small bag, Wu Xu took the things in Liu Yan's hand and said: Sister Yan give it to me, this thing is too heavy, it is not for a girl, and I will have this kind of coolie in the future.
Liu Yan took Wu Xu's hand and followed Wu Xu towards the dormitory.
Wu Xu was waiting for Liu Yan in the balcony, and suddenly heard Liu Yan ask: Brother Xu, where is your washcloth, I'll wash my face, it's too hot.
Wu Xu said embarrassedly: I'm sorry, Sister Yan, I don't have a washcloth here.
Liu Yan couldn't help but smile and said: How can you, you have been here for almost a month, how did you wash your face?
Wu Xu said embarrassedly: I washed it by hand, not only did I not wash the faceker here, but I didn't even have slippers, basins, quilts, mattresses, etc. Wu Xu told Liu Yan that he went to the talent market to find a job, lost his money, took a four-yuan freight train to Anping, was reluctant to buy daily necessities, usually slept on the bare board to rest, washed his face and hair with his hands, was reluctant to pay the phone bill, etc.
The corners of Liu Yan's eyes were a little moist, and she said: It turns out that it's not that you don't want to call me, it's that you really don't even have a phone bill.
Wu Xu: Yes, but now it's getting better, I have 1,200 yuan now, and my salary will be paid next week, so I can buy all the supplies at that time, so I don't have to worry about Sister Yan.
Well... Remember not to treat yourself badly, everything will be fine
Got it, Sister Yan.
Liu Yan: The work is okay!
Wu Xu told Liu Yan about the experience of coming to the company, Liu Yan said: I just said that my brother Xu is the best, and I really didn't look away, I believe that no matter whether you are in the enterprise, business, or working in a national unit, you will make achievements.
Wu Xu: Thank you Sister Yan for your appreciation, I won't let you down.
Liu Yan: Have you contacted Ma Li? Does she know you're here?
Wu Xu: I haven't been in touch yet, there is no phone bill, I plan to call Ma Juan and Sister Yan every day from this month.
Liu Yan: Ma Juan is a very good girl, come on, others can't help you with this matter, you have to rely on yourself. Go get a family card, call for free, and make it easy for you to communicate your feelings.
Wu Xu: Okay, Sister Yan, I heard that the family card can have eight numbers, and when the time comes, I will add Sister Yan up and call Sister Yan every day.
Liu Yan: I'll forget it, contact Xiaoma Juan more, I won't take up your time.
Wu Xu: Don't talk about her, Sister Yan, why don't you have a boyfriend yet?
Liu Yan: Alas... You know a few of the things my dad introduced before, but it didn't work out, and now I don't feel it when I like me. I like it, people don't have feelings for me. My job isn't very stable now, and I haven't thought about it that much, so I'll think about it when it stabilizes!
Wu Xu: Sister Yan, if only you weren't three years older than me!
Liu Yan: What do you think, I owe a beating, so the two laughed at each other.
Liu Yan: Brother Xu, I feel a little tired, where do you usually sit, why don't you have a stool?
Wu Xu: Sister Yan, I'm sorry, I sit on the bed, but the bed is harder than the ground, so there are more people sitting on the ground. I sit on the ground, sit on my feet.
Liu Yan was very embarrassed, Wu Xu sat on the ground, took Liu Yan's little hand, gently picked up Liu Yan and sat on his lap, and continued to chat from time to time. After about an hour, they were all hungry, so they went to the restaurant at the entrance of the company to have a light meal.
Liu Yan bought a lot of things for Wu Xu, including slippers, basins, topas, washcloths, quilts, etc., and Wu Xu was so moved that he left tears.
In the evening, Wu Xu sent Liu Yan back, on the way back to Anping County, the two chatted with each other a lot, sometimes holding hands, sometimes Wu Xu would carry Liu Yan on his back for a distance, they didn't look like ordinary friends, nor like brothers and sisters, more like a pair of lovers. When he arrived downstairs at Liu Yan's house, Wu Xu suddenly hugged Liu Yan tightly and was reluctant to let go for a long time. After Liu Yan returned home, Wu Xu came to the credit cooperative, took the bank card that helped Liu Yan get a scholarship at the Qianjiang Health School, transferred 1,000 yuan to her, sent a text message to Liu Yan, and walked towards the cement factory in great strides.
