CHAPTER XXII
A bowl of noodles is very comfortable.
Zhong Yiping smiled and said, "You can come to eat with me every day." ”
I scratched the back of my head and smiled sheepishly.
"Yili won't say it, I'll explain it all." Zhong Yiping still said with a gentle smile.
I wanted to say yes, but I didn't say yes for a long time. Mu Shan and I were in bedroom No. 3, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, mainly because I was worried that Zhong Yili would embarrass me again when she came back. So he pulled Mushan out of the No. 3 bedroom.
"Are you colluding?" I asked Kiyama.
"You can see that." Mushan said briskly.
"What else did you say to Zhong Yiping?" I yelled at Kiyama.
"I didn't say anything, just be honest." Mushan looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
"You're not going to Bedroom 6?" I asked.
Mushan then remembered something, and went to bedroom No. 6 as soon as he slipped away.
Mushan and I have a makeshift meal here today, a meal there tomorrow, and one meal in a day, and if we are full, we can manage the day. When you are hungry again, you drink water, and life is very difficult.
Wei Huasong saw that Mu Shan and I were very pitiful, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm going out these days, you should pay more attention in the bedroom." ”
Mu Shan looked at Wei Huasong in a daze, not knowing what Wei Huasong was going to do.
Wei Huasong said: "It's all brothers, I can't watch you starving, when it's inconvenient for you, go to Pan Ganma's place to get a little credit, I'll go and say hello." ”
Mu Shan said pitifully: "Thank you, thank you, Brother Wei, then let's go now." ”
So, the three of them came to Pan Ganma's restaurant, and just said about the credit, Pan Ganma said with a smile:
"How did you four King Kongs become four rats?"
"I haven't been paid in the factory for three months." Wei Huasong said, "You help, let them take credit for a few days, and pay back the money as soon as the salary is paid." ”
Pan Ganma didn't seem to understand, and said viciously: "My refrigerator is broken, you can get it repaired." ”
What else am I going to say.
Pan Ganma yelled: "Why don't you want to go? ”
"We're so hungry we can't walk." Mushan said pitifully.
"Then go eat somewhere else." Pan Ganma shouted with wide eyes.
Mushan had no choice but to say in a low voice: "Go now, go right away." ”
Pan Ganma continued to roar: "In the Lin Ji Repair Department in the vegetable market, it has been repaired and dragged back, I am still waiting to use it, hurry up." ”
Wei Huasong helped Mushan and I carry the refrigerator onto the tricycle.
Wei Huasong said, "Brother, go." ”
Kiyama and I nodded, and we both pushed our heavy tricycles hungry.
Kiyama was riding a tricycle, and I was pushing in the back.
Mushan said, "Don't push, come up." ”
"Do you still have the strength to pedal?" I asked.
"Go on credit, don't pretend to be pitiful, haha." Kiyama smiled and sang optimistically.
The two of them had traveled a distance, and I asked, "How far is it, I'm so thirsty?" ”
Kiyama rode a tricycle, looked to the side of the road, and finally saw a dripping fire hydrant, and said happily, "Let's go, let's go there and drink water." ”
Kiyama rode to a stop next to the dripping fire hydrant pier. I ran over happily and drank from the tap water that flowed down my mouth, and I was thirsty and hungry, so I sat on the ground and opened my mouth to drink drop by drop.
"Sell sweet potatoes, sell sweet potatoes." There was a familiar voice shouting nearby.
"Qi Xun, your mother-in-law is selling sweet potatoes again, hehe." Mushan still teased.
"Don't say it, when I got married, I might have learned this craft, at least, I don't have to go hungry." I felt like I was blaming myself.
"Do you regret it?" Kiyama asked.
"Didn't expect it to be like this?" I had a feeling of self-shame and said, "The last time I met Li Xuemei, I didn't even have the face to see her." ”
"Imagine that," said Kiyama, "how do you feel about selling roasted sweet potatoes now?" All your life, do you sell roasted sweet potatoes? ”
When I heard Mu Shan say this, it suddenly occurred to me that the difficulties were only temporary, and there was no need to give up on myself and be pessimistic and disappointed.
"Compared to Li Xuemei and Zhong Yiping, who do you like?" Kiyama asked.
"I just want to fill my stomach," I patted my stomach and said with a smile, "I want to be hungry now, and I don't want anything." ”
"The time has come to test Zhong Yiping," Mushan said, "you borrow some money from her, and how much you borrow depends on how much she loves you." ”
"I'm not going." Mushan shook his head and said.
"You should think of it as a question," Kiyama said with a smile, "and this is the test." ”
I still shook my head.
"I always ask Liu Dajiao to borrow money, what's this?" Mu Shan smiled and said, "However, Liu Dajiao has lent me a lot of money, and I am embarrassed to borrow it again." ”
I looked at Mushan and asked, "How much money did Liu Dajiao lend you?" ”
"I haven't calculated it carefully, but there are always one hundred and eighty." Kiyama said with a smile.
I turned my head away, tears streaming down my face. Only then did I know that every time Mushan borrowed money from Liu Dajiao, he would call me to go eat something together. There's really no Mushan, and I really don't know how to get by. On weekdays, I always think that I save more than Mushan, and I think how I can help Mushan, but I don't know that Mushan is much more helpful to me.
Kiyama jumped off the tricycle and said, "I'll drink some water too." ”
I got on my tricycle, held on to the handlebars, and shouted, "Shall I ride?" ”
Mushan came over after drinking water and said, "This is different from riding a bicycle, you have to move the handlebars hard." ”
"Okay, I'll try." I say.
Mushan pushed on the side, and the three wheels drove slowly.
I held on to the handlebars, and it was difficult to master the handlebars at first, but slowly I became proficient, and I rode all the way, with Kiyama pushing behind.
"Come up." I urged Kiyama, but Kisan just didn't get on the tricycle and kept pushing the tricycle forward.
The two sent the refrigerator to the Lin Kee repair department, and Lin Kee's repair master was busy repairing the TV.
"Master, help us look at the refrigerator." Kiyama said with a smile.
"Don't you see I'm busy?" The repairman said expressionlessly.
"Help." Kiyama pleaded.
"Waiting for it, master." I pointed to the refrigerator and said.
"Say, let you wait." The repairman still had the same indifferent expression.
Kiyama and I had to sit on the tricycle and wait anxiously, the sun shining on the faces of the two of us, and those crystal clear sweat continued to flow down our faces.
After waiting for more than an hour, the repairman was still busy with his own work unhurriedly.
We didn't dare to say anything, endured hunger, sat under the eaves and waited.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the repairman beckoned to us, "This is the old godmother's freezer, why is it broken again?" Bring it up and take a look. ”
Kiyama and I tried our best to hold the refrigerator and slowly move it to the repair shop.
The repairman inspected and repaired unhurriedly, and the time passed for more than an hour.
Kiyama and I felt dizzy and could only hold on, waiting for the repairman to fix the refrigerator.
Finally, the refrigerator was repaired, and the two men desperately hugged the refrigerator again, using their last strength to lift it onto the tricycle.
The two men almost fell to the ground, and they pushed the tricycle back to the place where they had just drunk water.
"Drink some more water." I said, pointing to the place where I had just drunk the water.
Mushan still smiled, nodded, walked over, and lay down at the fire hydrant to drink water, and it took a long time to straighten up.
I bent down to drink and saw tears welling up in Kiyama's eyes. I pretended not to see, pretended to drink water, and couldn't control my tears anymore. I tried to control my emotions and deliberately washed my face with water, then smiled at Kiyama, then walked over to the tricycle and pushed the tricycle forward.
The two of them stood on the tricycle for a long time, and they no longer had the strength to ride. The two of them pushed it with all their might, and they insisted on it until Pan Ganma's restaurant.
"Bring it in and put it away." Pan Ganma stood in place and yelled.
The two of them gritted their teeth and desperately carried the refrigerator to the place where the refrigerator had been placed.
Pan Ganma looked at the refrigerator and said, "Sit there and wait." ”
After a long time, Pan Gan's mother brought over two dishes, one shredded potatoes and one fried thousand zhang.
The two of them devoured it, Mushan ate four bowls of rice, and I also ate four bowls of rice, and the soup on the plate was poured into the bowl and eaten, because we didn't know where we would eat the next meal after eating this meal.
After eating, we didn't dare to stay in Lao Gan Ma's restaurant, so we immediately walked out and walked to the dormitory, talking and talking as we went.
"So, when will it be a head?" Mushan shook his head and said.
I also shook my head, wondering if the situation in the factory would get better.
"I'm still reluctant to Feng Jiao." Mushan said with a wry smile.
"To be honest, I am reluctant to leave Zhong Yiping." I said, I thought, no matter what, I have to wait in the factory, wait for the efficiency of the factory to improve, and wait for Zhong Yiping to have a good result, because I love Zhong Yiping, mainly because I want to stick to that feeling.
Mu Shan suddenly remembered something and said, "In the evening, let's go to the factory to have a look." ”
"What are you doing in the factory at night?" I don't know what Mushan wants to do, but when I think of going at night, it's definitely not a good thing, and I think of the promise I made with Zhong Yiping, and I don't know what to do.
"Are you going to go hungry like this?" Kiyama said very bluntly.
"What do you want to do?" I asked.
"I want to go to the cafeteria to see if there's anything." Kiyama said.
"Is there anything there?" I asked worriedly.
"Let's go to the cafeteria and get some oil, rice," Kiyama said with a smile, "I made two electric stoves, and we cooked and ate in the dormitory." ”
"Huh?" I was stunned, and I couldn't help but admire Mushan from the bottom of my heart. When I came to Shashi with Mushan, I saw Mushan's intelligence and righteousness, after all, Mushan had already stepped into the society and had rich experience.
I immediately remembered the scene of cooking in the dormitory, and I thought, first of all, to solve the problem of eating, I don't have to look at Pan Ganma's face to eat on credit, and I don't have to work hard, repair the refrigerator, or do anything else.
