Lotus recalled the first day she met Huang Lijuan: it was the first day she had just stepped into school, Lotus tied two small ponytails, because she was excited, she couldn't wait for her mother to tie her braids, she herself tied two pigtails that didn't look like pigtails, and went to school without tying them, the boys in the school saw that her two weird pigtails were not like pigtails, they were like anything, and two disorderly braids with a huge difference between high and low were particularly large, and they laughed loudly, and some went directly to pull her pigtails, which angered Lotus. The lotus is born not afraid of heaven and earth, and has an aggressive character, so more than ten little boys around her, to the end of the fight, the other party must be a boy, and there are many people, just as the lotus is going to suffer, the crowd occupies a red round little face, and there are two ponytail pigtails on the head of the little girl, but unlike her, the two braids are very neat, and the same height, very good-looking, two big black eyes are very moving and cute, on the round little face, a round dimple on the left and right sides, pointing at the boys and glaring at them with wide eyes, said aloud:

"Are you embarrassed? So many people are bullying a little girl, and it's a shame that you're still a boy and a man. "It's completely an adult's tone and an adult's posture," If you have the ability, you can go head-to-head, and one-on-one is the ability." ”

Most of these boys were also beaten by the lotus to cry, they were angry, how could they wait for her to be so angry, aggressiveness is also the nature of boys, all of a sudden the boys surrounded the two of them, but these two little girls did not have the slightest sense of fear, and this little girl really did not underestimate her, one will hit the east, one will hit the west, one will chase the boy, one will suddenly turn around, make each boy mess up his hands and feet, everyone is out of breath, this little girl's hand strength, foot strength is very good, within a few strokes, more than ten boys are defeated, didn't dare to fight anymore, and after the two stopped, they sat on the grass on the playground. The girl introduced herself:

"My name is Huang Lijuan, from the production team of Hejiagou behind the mountain. You're pretty good, so many boys are beating around you, and you're not afraid. ”

"My name is He Hehua, the Longjiagou production team at the foot of the mountain. I have always liked to solve problems and difficulties by myself, and I don't like to ask for help. Lotus said.

The lotus flower was also stunned, this little girl spoke in an adult tone, not a little girl at all. It seems that this little girl knows what adults call dancing, and that's how the two got to know each other. The lotus flower is two months older and is an older sister. When the school arranged classes, they were arranged into a class by mistake, and finally the teacher arranged the seats and arranged the two of them on a table and a stool, so they became very good friends and good sisters, and as soon as the two joined forces, the male classmates in the same class were afraid of them.

Everyone knows how powerful they are, and some have also suffered losses, and later after Lotus and Huang Lijuan became good friends, Huang Lijuan told Lotus that she and her father both like to exercise. Lotus asked her about her father, and Huang Lijuan only said that her father worked far away, but did not say what her father did, where he worked, and said nothing else. Later, Lotus knew that her father was in a certain army, and I heard that he was still an official, and he heard it from adults occasionally, Huang Lijuan actually didn't know much about her father, and she didn't have the idea of a father in her memory, she hadn't seen her a few times when she was so old, and she was very vague about what her father looked like. The image of her father in her heart is completely sketched through her mother's narration, and she also knows that her father is so busy that he forgets about his home. Occasionally, there seems to be some vague impression that looms in the brain. Because her father has never been by her side, everything she knows is what her mother told her.

Since the last time I left, Lotus and Huang Lijuan have never met, and there is no news of Huang Lijuan, I met in this small county today, Huang Lijuan can recognize her from the back at a glance, it can be seen that after so many years, Lotus is also very deep in Huang Lijuan's heart, and it is also very firm.

Huang Lijuan's meeting dragged her back to this memory, it took so long to wake up, she continued to ask, so the time to go back and forth is almost afternoon, Lotus should also go back to the ward, Wang Zhongyu's father's condition is getting better and better, and his physical strength has almost recovered, the next thing is how to maintain the problem, but when he was about to be discharged, the doctor from the hospital came to find Lotus to go to the medical room that day, to understand Wang Zhongyu's father's eye condition, first, the experts of the SEE City Eye Center came here for special support, Most of the links are free, depending on the situation, you can be exempted from one or two thousand, which is already a lot. That's a good thing for Dutch! But the difficulty is to take out the money from yourself, and there is not a penny at present, is it not cured? Is this really a rare opportunity? Treatment? And there is no money, and maybe it's not a small amount for a lotus? Borrow? I borrowed it, but I haven't paid them back yet, and the people who helped have helped me too much, so I can't raise so much money even if I sell blood myself!

Lotus has found a doctor to calculate, and he has to get fifty or sixty thousand, this matter can not be let Wang Zhongyu's father know, the old man will definitely not agree to this matter, he also knows that the family has no money, last time he was asking about the origin of the money, so that his blood sale will be self-defeating. But this is also a rare opportunity, if Wang Zhongyu is by his side, he will definitely work hard, without hesitation to do, since I love Wang Zhongyu, I will be the same as Wang Zhongyu to do what Wang Zhongyu has no time to complete. Okay, it's not early today, let's wait for tomorrow!

It was eight or nine o'clock when Lotus woke up, and it was about ten o'clock when she finished washing. was about to go out with his bag, when he heard Huang Lijuan ask outside the room:

"Is there a girl named He Lotus here?"

The lotus replied, "What's the matter?" "Then I looked back.

She was surprised, how did Huang Lijuan find here, I forgot to say it yesterday, and I also thought that Huang Lijuan was talking about it, she said yesterday that she was going to come to see us, she didn't care, and she was ready to go out, but I didn't expect her to really find here.

"I see you've hung up a bag and you're ready to go out! That's a little wrong for you! I have a friend from afar, and I don't want to shout, you are still avoiding me, how bad is this! I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to ask about you, and wasted a morning looking for you to find here, and you had to run. Are you right? Huang Lijuan dragged large bags of things into the ward and put them on the bedside table and said, "I went to your house first, and only then did I know that Wang Zhongyu's father was hospitalized, so I rushed here, and when I arrived at the hospital, I didn't know how to go to the room number department. I don't know what the elderly like to eat? I had to sell something in a mess. ”

"Yes, it's really not easy, I'm really sorry, I forgot, is it okay if I was wrong?"

Lotus poured boiling water for Huang Lijuan while talking, Huang Lijuan is a cheerful character, speaks straightforwardly, never beats around the bush, but is very funny, with a little humor, giving people an optimistic and upward feeling, always full of spirit and hair, in her eyes never pessimistic and desolate; There's never anything bad, it's all good!

"That's not going to work! You'll have to pay a fine! Huang Lijuan said.

"Good! How do you say to pay the penalty! Lotus said.

"Then shall we go to the Bashu hot pot restaurant?" Huang Lijuan said.

"Good! A hot pot restaurant is a hot pot restaurant, who is afraid of whom! Lotus said.

The lotus wanted to cry in her heart, but she pretended to answer casually. But what can I do? What about the money! Lotus hesitated, this hesitation did not matter, but Huang Lijuan saw it. Huang Lijuan pretended not to see it, urging the lotus flower to hurry up:

"Let's go! What's wrong? Hurry up, I'm driving my dad's troop car, and the time can't be too long. Did you know? ”

Lotus wanted to go out and find a way to get some money, but now Huang Lijuan was pulled into the car and went in the direction of the Bashu hot pot restaurant, and when they arrived, they walked into the private room on the second floor of the hot pot restaurant together, and the lotus was even more excited, although she was a little excited, but she was even more anxious, what about money? What can I do, the previous time I came here, I didn't pay attention to the subcontract room to sit here, people from the south to the north came here, and the taste, sentiment and status of these people can be judged through everyone's consumption. They walked into the private room, there were five people in the private room, and the lotus looked at it, among them was a tall man about fifty years old, with no smile on his square face, he looked very majestic, his short hair looked very energetic, and he was wearing a military uniform without collar badges and epaulettes, which looked like he had been washed many times. There was a woman of the same age as him beside him, and when she saw the lotus coming, she immediately stood up and said to the lotus:

"You just have a lotus! We often hear Juan'er talk about you, what are you doing now, and how is the situation at home? Come, sit down and talk slowly. ”

This tall man turned out to be Huang Lijuan's father, the woman next to him must be Lijuan's mother, and the other two don't know who it is, as soon as they hear it, they know Huang Lijuan's father, his personality may be really similar to Huang Lijuan, Lotus screamed:

"Hello, uncle, aunt!"

Then he continued to look at Huang Lijuan's parents, they looked very simple and there was nothing special about them. He also spoke very kindly and left a deep impression on the lotus. Then Lotus and Huang Lijuan sat down together, and the two men on the side also sat down. While chatting and waiting for the food to be served, Lotus stood up and took advantage of the time to pour tea for Huang Lijuan's parents and said:

"Uncle, auntie, aren't you working in the field? Why did you come back this time? Is there anything wrong with coming back? ”

"You see my age, it's time for young people to do it, ready to retire from the military, return to the place, the fallen leaves should also return to the roots, this time there are two or three purposes: one is to see the local situation, the people's interest and local development; The second is to contact the job that is suitable for me; The third is to look at the relatives in the hometown. What about you? I've heard people say that you are at your in-law's house now, and that your friend is still studying, when will you graduate? What was his father's condition? I heard that one of his younger brothers is studying at Harbin University of Technology, so good! One is engaged in economics and the other is engaged in industry, and his sister asked her to engage in agriculture, so that there are people in agriculture, industry, and economy, and they are all three brothers and sisters. There's also a sister who goes to high school in a provincial town, right? Huang Lijuan's father said.

"Yes, Wang Zhongyu will graduate soon. The following two siblings were only admitted this year, Wang Zhongyu's father's illness is almost better, and he is about to be discharged from the hospital, but there is a chance at present, the question of whether I give up or not give up, I am also having a headache about this."

Then Lotus told the ins and outs of the situation, and brought out the situation and plate at home. Let Huang Lijuan's father ask her to solicit her.

"Yes! How can you give up such a great opportunity? Think of a way, the way always comes up with a way, and some things will pass by gritting your teeth. Huang Lijuan's father said.

Lotus is also thinking at this time, how easy are you talking about, is that money? That's not paper? She just thought so, she didn't say it, it must be the first time they met, and they are also elders.

"Okay, the meals are all ready, let's talk while eating, but everyone has to tell the truth, I came back this time to understand, lotus, you first talk about your own situation, especially the main source of economic income of the family, difficulties, etc., and then you talk about Wang Zhongyu's family's situation, economic resources, difficulties, and finally you talk about our local situation, the main economic sources of the people, economic development, per capita income, etc., you can talk about whether there are any special things in the local area, you can rely on these characteristics, Let's see if we can find a breakthrough and find a way to develop, and I can transfer the work from which side. Huang Lijuan's father said.

Lotus thought to herself, asked me these originally wanted to find a good unit, it seems to be a little selfish, not a good official, although Lotus has some resentment in her heart, but must have just promised to have a treat, then I have to pay for this meal, so Lotus took the opportunity to go to the bathroom, called the chief engineer Zhu, and asked him to send some money over, but he had to know how much money was, so Lotus went to the front desk waiter and asked:

"How much does this meal cost?"

The front desk clerk said someone paid.

Lotus just woke up from a dream, it turned out that Huang Lijuan didn't plan to let me open it, just made a joke, and it had been arranged a long time ago. I'm just worried.

But he still didn't say it, he must be Lijuan's father, not to mention that he is older than himself and an elder, so Lotus suppresses the anger in his heart. After eating, Huang Lijuan's father asked Huang Lijuan to settle the bill, and repeatedly emphasized that Huang Lijuan should bear it personally and could not use his money. Lotus couldn't imagine what kind of person Lijuan's father was, indescribable, one moment it was rain, one moment was the sun, and then there was a storm. It makes her incomprehensible, incomprehensible, and unacceptable.

Then Huang Lijuan still had to use her father's car to send the lotus back to the ward, however, when Huang Lijuan went to her father to get the key, her father said:

"You tell me clearly, this car belongs to my office, lent to you, the nature has changed, then you have to pay rent, you used my car twice in the first two days, you have to pay twice, you have to pay me for these two expenses, but today you are picking up lotus, this is up to me to invite, the cost also has to be due to me, I must find lotus is also a business."

I almost didn't faint the lotus now, there is such a father in the world, I don't sit down. When Lotus was thinking about whether to sit or not, Huang Lijuan's car was also at her feet, and she was urged to hurry up, and Lotus had no choice but to get into the car. In the car, Lotus didn't speak, silent, she still thought that Huang Lijuan was unlucky enough to meet such a father! Huang Lijuan can really bear it, Huang Lijuan is talking to her while driving, she doesn't want to listen anymore, she is still angry with Huang Lijuan's father. At this time, Huang Lijuan said to you:

"Arrived, do you want to spend the night in the car? If you'd like, I'll pay a little more, but you heard it just now, and you didn't say you were going to spend the night outside. My dad had a strong time requirement for everything, everyone, everything. ”

Lotus came back to her senses, she got out of the car, Lijuan said: "I still have something to do, I have to go first, the day after tomorrow is the National Day, if you are not discharged from the hospital, I will come again." ”

At this time, the lotus flower said in her heart: "Don't come, don't come, I can't stand you coming." ”

The lotus looked at the sky and looked around.
