Chapter 239 Meeting an Old Friend
After Taozhi sent the two away, she sat on a stone bench. She quickly stood up and planned to go out.
She found a place to drive out and headed quickly towards the city.
All along the way, we saw people busy in the fields, and the joy of autumn harvest was on everyone's face.
Especially now, in the past, people relied on work points to exchange for food, but now the work points are all used to exchange for food for their own families. Being able to bring rice home and keep it is a happy thought.
So everyone's work enthusiasm has become much higher.
When Taozhi arrived in the city, there were fewer people on the streets.
After parking the car, she strolled along the small street.
At lunchtime, many people from the factory went out.
Taozhi just wanted to stroll around, but unexpectedly met Wu Xiumei.
When she was in the Women's Federation, she was her boss.
Wu Xiumei was also a little surprised to see her. She was packing her lunch box and going out.
"Comrade Taozhi?" Wu Xiumei smiled at her. "Long time no see."
Taozhi also nodded slightly: "Long time no see."
Wu Xiumei looked around and asked, "If you have nothing to do, would you like to go for a walk together?"
Taozhi nodded: "What are you doing?"
She chuckled, "I went to the hospital to see a friend. You should know her, He Xiaojuan."
Taozhi was a little surprised: "What happened to her?"
As they walked and talked, Wu Xiumei said, "She has cancer, liver cancer."
Taozhi was shocked: "Ah? Why is this happening?"
Wu Xiumei shook her head. "Life is unpredictable. It's already in the late stages. The doctor said it only has a dozen days to live."
It all happened so suddenly.
She looked at the road ahead and said: "So, people, no matter how hard life is, when you die, there is nothing left."
Taozhi cannot deny it because it is the fact.
Wu Xiumei walked with her, protecting her lunch box to keep it warm. "What have you been doing lately?"
She was indeed touched to see a friend she hadn't seen for a long time.
Because she had been too optimistic about Xia Taozhi before, she was full of energy and believed that if the Women's Federation worked hard, she would definitely have a bright future.
Taozhi smiled faintly and said, "I didn't do anything, just rest and wait for the birth of the baby."
Wu Xiumei looked at her belly, which was very big and it looked like she was about to give birth.
She was silent for a moment and then said, "Becoming a mother for the first time is indeed a very happy thing."
"I'm leaving the county. The province has a new job for me."
"That's why I wanted to go for a walk with you. If you want to go to the Women's Federation, that's fine too."
Wu Xiumei stopped and looked up at her: "I am very optimistic about you, no matter in the past or now."
Xia Taozhi was very intelligent. Judging from her performance in the last exam and several meetings, she felt that this comrade would have a bright future if she developed well and started working at the grassroots level.
Taozhi shook her head: "No, I'm not suitable."
Wu Xiumei raised her eyebrows slightly: "Then what do you think suits you?"
Wu Xiumei thought of something and was silent for two seconds: "Do you like doing business?"
Taozhi nodded: "There are many things to learn in business, and I quite like this feeling."
Wu Xiumei didn't comment. She held her lunch box and looked ahead. At this moment, some withered yellow leaves had already fallen, adding a sense of desolation to the street.
She said softly, "Every job has its meaning. However, life is short, and we don't know which will come first, an accident or fate. Do something that makes you happy, and life will have meaning."
