Chapter 319: Something You Can’t Ignore
Tunan was completely speechless:
"Are you inviting me to stay at a guesthouse? You want a letter of introduction, and you want me to bring you some personal belongings. You might also want me to pay for your meal, right?"
"Hey, good brother! I'll treat you and pay for it, but I didn't bring enough today."
The onlookers were all looking at Tuanan.
"Mom, it's Zheyu," Tunan told them, "He's worried that Shanshan isn't safe living alone in the guesthouse, so he wants to stay next door to keep her company, and asked me to come too."
"Then go to the factory yourself to get a letter of introduction. Here, the money." Huang Ling had arranged everything and handed over the office key and money.
Tunan took the key but not the money: "Mom, I have money."
"I can't ask you to spend a penny when you come back. Take it." Zhou Huaiyi took the money and stuffed it into Tunan's hand. He also filled a net bag with snacks and canned food and handed it to Tunan. "There's nothing to do there, so eat and have fun."
"Thank you, uncle." Tuanan took the money and things, put two books into his schoolbag, and then left.
Wu Jun walked out of the guesthouse, looking back every few steps. He was very worried, but he happened to see Tuanan.
"Your brother Zheyu and I will be living next door to each other these days, so you can go back without worry." Tuanan raised the things in his hand, and it was obvious that he had made long-term plans.
Wu Jun gritted his teeth to hold back his tears, nodded heavily, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Thank you, Brother Tunan."
When Wu Jun returned home, it was already dark.
Wu Jianguo was squatting in the yard smoking, and when he saw him come back, he asked: "Where have you been so late?"
"After the exam, I went to a classmate's house to play."
"There's food left for you on the table."
"I'm not eating anymore. Other people's parents treated me to a meal. Oh, the lion's head is so delicious." Wu Jun sneered.
"Why would you stay at someone else's house and eat if you have nothing to do?"
"I'm so shameless! I don't know if there will be any leftover soup when I get home, so I have to shamelessly eat it at someone else's house!"
Wu Jianguo was speechless. The only things on the table were the leftover soup and rice crusts that kept him from starving to death.
Seeing that Wu Jun did not come back on time, Zhang A'mei ate desperately and also kept passing food to Zhang Min to ensure that when Wu Jun came back there was only leftover soup.
At this time, Zhang Amei called out from inside the house: "Wu Jianguo!"
Wu Jianguo responded, put out his cigarette and went into the house.
Wu Jun went back to his room silently and lay on the bed, recalling what his sister had just said.
In the front room, a family of three were discussing Zhang Min's work.
"Deputy Director Li's son is getting married in the first half of next year. I promised him a set of modular cabinets on your behalf, and he agreed to help Xiao Min set up a workshop office."
Zhang A-mei said it very casually, but it scared Wu Jianguo half to death:
"What combination cabinet? They paid for the materials, right?"
"Of course we provide the materials! As long as you work, your work is worth some money, which can be exchanged for a good office job!" Zhang A'mei curled her lips.
"This, this set of things costs quite a bit of money... Xiao Min hasn't started her internship yet, isn't this a bit early? I think she should work in the workshop first, and once she becomes a regular employee, we can find someone to transfer her to a better position."
Wu Jianguo felt that it was not very reliable, so he wanted to take it easy.
"Wait until Xiao Min becomes a regular employee and she's already married, so why would she need you? By then, if you offer money, he'll accept it. If you offer money, he won't. You don't know how much money you have in your pocket. At least I have a skill. Only then did I dare to go up and talk to him. Now he's already agreed, and you want me to return the letter?"
Zhang A-mei slammed the tin biscuit jar in her hand heavily on the table.
"Dad, I don't care! It's best to sit in the office during internship. I don't want to be a female worker in the workshop." Zhang Min interrupted when she heard that she could sit in the office.
"But...what if they just said it casually..."
"Wu Jianguo, I've accepted the job anyway. If you don't want to do it, just go and talk to Deputy Director Li yourself! You can think of any reason you want!" Zhang A'mei strangled him to death because he didn't dare to go to Deputy Director Li to turn down the job.
Wu Jianguo looked at the two of them with an embarrassed look on his face, but finally compromised:
"Then give me the money!"
Zhang A'mei threw fifty yuan to him.
"That's not enough!"
"Buy as you go! Buy everything and rot it around the house!"
"Tsk, you don't understand!"
Zhang A-mei stood up and was about to take the money back, so Wu Jianguo could only quickly put the money into his pocket.
Suddenly, he found a blue plaid handkerchief in Zhang A-mei's pocket, which he used to wrap his private money.
"You took my money!" Wu Jianguo finally understood where the fifty yuan came from.
That was the money he had secretly saved up to give to Wu Shanshan.
"Hmph! You still want to hide your own money? I'm telling you, don't even think about it! You have to give me every penny of yours!" Zhang A'mei spat at Wu Jian.
Wu Jianguo lowered his head.
Wu Jun's laughter came from behind the thin wall:
"Hahahaha! Who wrote this book? It's so funny! I'm dying of laughter!"
Wu Jianguo raised his head and looked at the wall.
"Aren't you afraid that there will be no wood to use? Why don't you dismantle Wu Shanshan's bed and cabinet? She won't come back anyway, and there will be no place for her even if she comes back." Zhang A'mei threw out another sentence.
"Sister! You can't do this! This is Shanshan's home, she is my daughter, where else can she go if she doesn't come back here?" Wu Jianguo said hurriedly.
"Hahahaha! So funny! So funny!" Wu Jun's laughter came from behind the wall again.
"Wu Jianguo, does she treat you as her father? Do you know what she was thinking when she left? If you can't bear to leave, go find her! Take Wu Jun away too. I will even take apart the bed for both of you!" Zhang A'mei patted the bed under her.
Wu Jianguo stopped talking, and Wu Jun behind the wall started singing "La La La", as if he was very happy.
Is this kid crazy? Wu Jianguo's attention shifted from Zhang A-mei to Wu Jun, and he felt a little uneasy.
Then Zhang Min scolded, "Wu Jun! Are you sick? You're laughing and singing in the middle of the night!"
"It's none of your business! I'll just sing! If you dare to fart again, I'll sing all night long!" Wu Jun responded in the room.
"You dare!" Zhang Min said angrily.
"Why don't you try it! La la la la la~!" Wu Jun kept talking.
Wu Jianguo came over to persuade: "Xiaojun, stop arguing, I won't tear down your sister's bed."
"Tear it down, I'll help you take it down tomorrow! When I graduate from junior high school and go to dig coal, you can take down my bed too." Wu Jun laughed.
The next day, Zhang A-mei went to work first.
After being fired, Zhang A'mei found a job in a small workshop. She worked harder than a cow and ate worse than a pig, but for the sake of money, she had no choice but to go out early and come back late every day.
Wu Jianguo left later. When he left, Wu Jun had not yet gotten up and had not gotten up to eat breakfast.
He pushed open the door to Wu Jun's room and said, "Xiaojun, you have your sister's phone number, right? Ask her when she'll be back. I'll pick her up."
"Why, you can't beat Zhang A'mei? Wait for her to come back and take your place! Wu Jianguo, don't even call yourself a father. You're not even a man. I look down on you. You're the only one without guts in this alley. No, in the entire cotton mill, there's no other man with less guts than you."
Wu Jun closed his eyes, called Wu Jianguo's name, but told the truth.
Wu Jianguo wanted to get angry but couldn't, so he walked out silently.
Wu Jun remained lying there motionless until Zhang Min left, then he got up.
He picked up Wu Jianguo's axe and chopped up his sister's bed.
He also patiently chopped it into small pieces and piled the pieces in the main house.
