Li Qiumei had a high school roommate named Wu Xiaoxia who worked at a thermal power plant in the provincial capital, and she seemed to be working in an office.
She remembered that once when they met in the county town, the other party gave her a phone number.
Li Qiumei ran back to her residence, wrote down the phone number on a piece of paper, and then ran to the post office to call Wu Xiaoxia.
"Xiaoxia, I heard that your thermal power plant is going to recruit a group of employees' children. Is that true?"
"It's true. Our factory's employees are evaluated based on their length of service and professional titles, and some of their children are able to join the factory.
First send him to a technical school to study for three years, and then return to work at the thermal power plant after graduation.
I was processing the paperwork a few days ago."
"Xiaoxia, I'd like to trouble you to help me find someone."
"Which one?"
"He Jun."
"Please help me check if he is among this group of employees."
After hanging up the phone, Li Qiumei nervously paced back and forth in front of the post office.
All I could think about was He Yuanzhou running desperately with the backpack on his back.
Li Qiumei felt uncomfortable when she thought of how he died so tragically in her previous life.
If, He Jun really has a spot.
Then she would help He Yuanzhou get it no matter what. Maybe He Yuanzhou's fate would be completely changed.
Liu Hua came over on a bicycle, and Li Qiumei dodged and hid in the post office.
Unexpectedly, Liu Hua parked his bicycle at the door and came in.
He left the door to the telephone room open so he could see his bike.
This allowed Li Qiumei, who was hiding in the corner, to hear his conversation clearly.
"Mom, Qian Jiaojiao won't listen and refuses to have an abortion. I have no choice.
Her mother urges me every day to get you to come and meet her.
Well, this doesn't work either. She and her mother are not afraid of being embarrassed.
Both mother and daughter are shameless.
Now that the belly is getting bigger, we are the ones who are anxious.
I'm worried that her mother and she will go to the factory to make trouble.
That’s right, she fell three or four times, but the baby still didn’t get miscarried.
Okay, that’s a good idea, I’ll go back and try it out!”
Liu Hua hung up the phone with a smile.
After paying the money, he rode away on his bike.
This man really doesn't want to marry Qian Jiaojiao.
It seems that Qian Jiaojiao's dream of jumping from a bran basket to a rice basket is about to be shattered.
I don’t know if Qian Jiaojiao can protect her belly.
After waiting for a few minutes, Li Qiumei called Wu Xiaoxia again.
"Qiu Mei, this He Jun is the deputy director of the second workshop, and he is on the list this time.
This time, the person their family reported was his son "He Yuanhang".
What’s going on? "
Wu Xiaoxia spoke in a gossipy tone.
"Xiaoxia, don't tell anyone about this for now.
I'll come to talk to you tomorrow."
"Okay, Qiu Mei, when you come, remember to bring me two packs of lion cakes at the school gate."
"no problem!"
Li Qiumei paid the phone bill with some pain and walked towards He Yuanzhou's house.
On a street near the county government, go straight to the end and turn right. The third house is He Yuanzhou's house.
It was broad daylight and the door was open, so Li Qiumei breathed a sigh of relief.
He Yuanzhou had just come out of the kitchen carrying a kettle when he saw Li Qiumei coming in from outside.
"Auntie, why... why are you here..."
"I came to see you for something."
Li Qiumei looked around. Although the yard had a cement floor, it was covered with chicken droppings.
An old hen was foraging for food with a few chicks by the courtyard wall.
The house was still a wooden tile house, and a big hole was gnawed by rats under the old wooden door.
The wooden planks upstairs were blackened by smoke, and the side walls were cracked.
Although it is divided into two floors, it doesn't look like there are many rooms, and the kitchen is built next to the courtyard wall.
A big rat was walking out of the kitchen with a little rat, and was strolling along the corner of the wall.
In a county town, a house like this would belong to a poor family.
A white-haired old lady walked out of the main room with a cane.
"Zhou Zhou, who's here?"
He Yuanzhou raised his sleeve and wiped his nose: "Grandma, that aunt is here."
The old lady paused and said, “Girl, please come in and sit down.
Zhou Zhou, go get a glass of water and remember to wash it clean."
Li Qiumei helped the old lady into the main room, where a three-legged wooden table was placed against the wall.
On the table stood an incense burner and two white porcelain vases with two plastic flowers in each.
A long sofa made of coir and springs, covered with a linen bag, had several large holes gnawed by mice.
The spring inside is exposed.
A sofa towel fell to the ground.
Li Qiumei picked up the sofa towel and spread it out before helping the old lady sit down.
Hey! This is what the old saying means: even if you throw a stone in, you won’t be able to hit anything. The house is really bare.
I simply told the whole story to the two of them, the grandfather and the grandson.
The old lady was silent for a long time.
When He Yuanzhou heard Li Qiumei mention the name "He Yuanhang", he snorted coldly.
"That's the son my stepmother brought over. I think his name was Wang Qiang before."
The old lady slapped the sofa and started cursing with gritted teeth.
“This bastard, he didn’t care about his own son, but actually gave the quota to an outsider.
He's going to piss me off to death!"
The old lady lifted the corner of her clothes and wiped away her tears.
"Girl, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me.
This unfilial son has never returned since he married that woman.
That woman who manages the household only sends us fifty dollars a year."
Li Qiumei was shocked: "Auntie, you have so many old people and so many young children, how can fifty yuan be enough for you?"
