That afternoon, people who came to the restaurant to eat lined up on one side, and Tian Wenjun served food to everyone at the window. While queuing, these people joked with Tian Wenjun.
"Master Tian, I'm afraid your store will be busy starting tomorrow."
Tian Wenjun smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"You may not know this, but the man who was hacked at the door of your restaurant a while ago committed suicide in the well in front of your restaurant.
Someone found it when fetching water.
I’m afraid that well will be useless.”
Tian Wenjun paused with her hand holding the spoon.
I really didn't expect it. At that time, I saw the child pushing him, and then not long after that, he committed suicide.
Tell me, what do people want in this life?
Perhaps, he thought he had chosen the most correct path.
If he hadn't died, the children would not be able to go to school.
If he doesn't die, the child will have to endure more rumors.
Perhaps only after his death can the child's life start anew.
Tian Wenjun looked calm and continued to serve meals to people.
He Damei said: "If you want to die, you would rather die in a well than anywhere else. What will the people around you do?"
The person serving the food smiled and said, "So, your restaurant's business must be better these days."
Tian Wenjun just listened. Ordinary people need a meal ticket to go to a restaurant. Who would come without a meal ticket?
Besides, there are several wells in the county.
He Damei asked, "What about this well?"
“I heard it’s going to be filled.
It is better for people like this to die far away.
He is such a horrible person. It would be so nice if he didn't do such messy things and the family could be reunited.
If you do something like this, your whole family will suffer."
"That's right, I just feel sorry for the child."
The group of people chattered a lot, got their food and sat down to eat.
When these words fall into people's ears, they are the naked reality.
When Tian Wenjun and her friends finished their meal and got off work, the sun was setting.
He Damei and Tian Wenjun walked towards the village entrance. When they reached the entrance, He Damei walked towards her home, and Tian Wenjun then walked towards the courtyard.
When Tian Wenjun was about to reach the town, Chen Jianguo came to pick her up again.
Tian Wenjun smiled and said, "Why are you here again?"
"I'm free today."
Tian Wenjun smiled and said that what Chen Jianguo looked forward to most every day was the evening.
When he woke up at noon, the house was empty. Only when he saw Tian Wenjun at night did he feel most at ease.
Two bicycles, one large and one small, were heading towards Xi along the straight dirt road.
Tian Wenjun said: "Fugui committed suicide today."
"Is the person dead?"
"Dead."
"It has nothing to do with us. He is on his own way. Who can stop him?"
He was not a good person before, so when Fugui died, Chen Jianguo just treated it as a story.
After all, he had seen many dead people.
When the two men arrived, Tian Wenjun cooked noodles for Chen Jianguo, put fried mutton slices on top, and sprinkled coriander on it.
Tian Wenjun came out and joked, "You said you bought all this mutton for me, but I see, it all went into your stomach."
Chen Jianguo almost laughed out loud, and chased after Tian Wenjun with noodles in his hand and fed her the meat slices.
"I'll feed you."
“I won’t eat, I won’t eat, I’ve already eaten.
Eat slowly by yourself."
Chen Jianguo chuckled and said, "I'm embarrassed to eat it."
Tian Wenjun was also amused.
"Okay, let's eat quickly."
Chen Jianguo ate two bowls of noodles in a row and took the initiative to clean up the kitchen.
Life is pretty simple.
Looking back in the blink of an eye, a year has passed, the years are peaceful, you are safe, and I am fine!
…
Chen Baoguo walked for eleven days and finally arrived.
He came back at noon the next day.
Chen Baoguo and Feng Jun first reported to the Agricultural Bureau, and then went to the Finance Office to register and report their accounts.
This trip took them twenty-seven days.
Chen Baoguo calculated carefully that he could get a subsidy of 14 yuan for 27 days, plus this month's salary, which would be about 70 or 80 yuan.
Chen Baoguo thought that after receiving his first month's salary, he would buy something for his elder brother and sister-in-law.
When they come back, they will have to rest for two more days.
It's like two days off.
After registering, Chen Baoguo went directly to the restaurant.
When he came, he also bought some local specialties from the border area.
When Chen Baoguo came into the restaurant, Tian Wenjun and the others had just finished their work and were about to eat.
When He Damei saw Chen Baoguo, she couldn't suppress the excitement on her face.
He finally came. She had been so anxious these days.
He Damei's eyes fell on him, and Wang Daqing and Zhang Guilan also looked towards the door.
Wang Daqing felt upset when he saw Chen Baoguo.
She is young and pleasing to the eye.
After all, he is old and can't compare with young people.
It's also good for He Damei to be with him.
He Damei walked towards Chen Baoguo excitedly.
"Baoguo, you're here? Didn't you say you'd be here in half a month? Why did you take so long?"
"The road over there is too far. It took us half a month to get there. It took us less time to get here."
"You haven't eaten yet, I'll cook you some red oil wontons.
Please take a seat first."
When Chen Baoguo saw He Damei, he was actually a little embarrassed.
He chuckled and said, "Not yet."
"Please sit down first."
Tian Wenjun poured a glass of water for Chen Baoguo, and Zhang Guilan looked at Chen Baoguo carefully.
Don't be fooled by He Damei's usual noisy appearance, she really has a good vision.
The two brothers of the Chen family both look pretty good.
Zhang Guilan joked, "Our Damei has finally got you here."
Chen Baoguo smiled, a little shy, not knowing what to say.
It was Wang Daqing who stood up silently and went to the backyard.
Soon, He Damei cooked two bowls of wontons for Chen Baoguo and brought them out.
"Eat quickly."
Chen Baoguo whispered, "Thank you."
A hint of shyness flashed across He Damei's face.
"Why are you being so polite? What's our relationship?"
Chen Baoguo smiled and lowered his head to eat.
He Damei didn't even have time to eat. She sat opposite Chen Baoguo with her hands on her chin, staring at him stupidly.
Chen Baoguo pushed another bowl of wontons in front of her.
"You eat too."
He Damei was delighted, her love brain was boosted, and all she thought about was that he cared about her.
"I don't want to eat anymore, I have my meal, you eat quickly.
You've been away for so long, do you want to take a few days off?"
"I'll take two days off and come to work at the Agriculture Bureau the day after tomorrow."
"Then come to my house."
He Damei was too straightforward, and Chen Baoguo was so frightened that he choked and coughed violently twice.
This girl's personality doesn't seem like a girl at all, but more like a boy.
He Damei looked at Chen Baoguo with eyes full of stars.
Chen Baoguo finished two bowls of wontons and took out forty cents and put it on the table.
He took out a few paper bags from his bag and handed them to He Damei.
"This is a specialty I brought you from the frontier.
This bag is for the people working in your restaurant, and you can take the rest to grandpa and the others."
