Chapter 139 Wei Yang's Persistence
Song Lubai pretended not to hear Wei Yang's shouts and quickened her pace toward the health center.
Wei Yang sped up and caught up.
"Song Lubai, I have something to tell you."
Wei Yang went around to the front and blocked her way.
When she met his deep, dark eyes, her heart began to race.
For some reason, she had a premonition that he was about to say something extraordinary.
Seeing people crossing the street, Song Lubai called out, "Xia Huai, what are you planning to do?"
Wei Yang had no choice but to turn around and swallow the words that were about to spill out of his mouth.
Xia Huai arrived, panting. "The tractor is frozen. I need to get some hot water to thaw the cylinder. I also need to go to the coal mine to haul coal later. Liu Fengshou said that those who came by car today should walk back together in advance."
Song Lubai was full of questions.
"How could the tractor freeze? It was perfectly fine when I brought it here this morning."
Xia Huai waved his hand, "Who knows? The tractor was parked on the side of the road for two or three hours and then it wouldn't start."
Wei Yang explained to the two of them: "The oil used in tractors is low-grade agricultural oil and diesel. The oil has a high wax content and is not antifreeze. After a while, when the temperature drops to minus twenty degrees Celsius every night, the oil will freeze like a rock and freeze together with the crankshaft of the engine, making the engine unable to turn at all. The diesel is not much better. Once the wax in it is released, the oil pipes will be completely blocked."
He looked at Xia Huai and asked, "What kind of oil do your company's tractors use?"
Xia Huai said uncertainly, "It seems to be diesel fuel."
Wei Yang nodded. "I guess it's diesel. The weather isn't that cold yet. It's only been stopped for two hours, so the cylinder block won't freeze. It shouldn't be a big problem. Come on, let's get some hot water first, and I'll take a look at it for you."
Xia Huai hurriedly took Wei Yang away.
Watching Wei Yang, with his kind heart, leave with Xia Huai, Song Lubai breathed a sigh of relief and headed to the clinic.
The common cold and fever medicines sold at the health center are not expensive, especially after she spent several tens of yuan on a blanket. The cost of medicine is negligible for her.
"Xiao Song, what brings you to the health center again?"
Song Lubai and Dr. Li walked head to head.
Song Lubai said with a smile, "There are a lot of people catching colds lately, so I'm bringing some medicine back for others and also keeping some for myself."
Recalling what happened last time, Dr. Li felt uneasy. She pulled Song Lubai into her office and asked, "Was the question you asked last time for yourself or for your friend?"
Song Lubai said, "I'm asking for my friend. What's up?"
Is there a problem?
Dr. Li felt remorseful, but waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. I was just asking. You young girls don't know any better, and I was afraid you might have done something inappropriate."
Song Lubai was completely confused by her.
Dr. Li then asked, "You don't have a boyfriend, right?"
Song Lubai shook her head. "Dr. Li, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Dr. Li dodged the question, saying, "It's nothing, I was just asking."
After the two parted, Dr. Li thought to herself that she should still have her husband, Lao Pang, tell Wei Yang.
Having completed all the necessary procedures at the headquarters, Song Lubai prepared to wait at the crossroads for the people from the 25th Company to return together.
The way back was too long, and it would be boring and unsafe for her to walk alone.
However, when she reached the intersection and saw Wei Yang waiting there, Song Lubai realized that she was not going to make it through today.
What are you doing, blocking her here?
Don't we have to do our work anymore?
The intersection was flat and open; if you wanted to cross it, you couldn't avoid his eyes.
She approached with a serious expression and paused when she saw a small patch of broken skin on his nose.
What happened to your nose?
Wei Yang raised his grimy fingers and touched his nose. "It's nothing. I just hurt my nose when the crank handle bounced back when I started the tractor. The bleeding has stopped, and I'm fine."
Song Lubai nodded, her gaze drifting elsewhere. "It's good that you're alright."
"Comrade Wei, don't you have to work today?"
Wei Yang didn't want any more unexpected events to prevent him from saying what he wanted to say, so he stared at her face and said in one breath, "I'm sorry, Comrade Song. Because of a misunderstanding, I mistakenly thought you had a boyfriend. But I can swear on my heart that my feelings for Comrade Song have always been the same. My previous attitude was my fault. I have always regarded Comrade Song as a good comrade-in-arms and a good comrade-in-arms. I hope Comrade Song can give me a chance!"
Song Lubai had a premonition that he was going to expose her.
After listening, she closed her eyes and sighed inwardly.
"Opportunity? What opportunity? We have always been good comrades-in-arms, and Comrade Wei is someone I trust on the road ahead."
This answer is no different from letting out a slightly smelly fart into the air.
Wei Yang was not satisfied with her answer.
He made his point clear. Was she genuinely oblivious or just pretending to be stupid?
In either case, Wei Yang had no intention of letting her escape.
Today she must face his feelings squarely and give him a clear answer.
“Song Lubai, I am twenty-six years old this year. My hometown is Hebei Province. Now my parents and sisters have settled in Beijing. My father works in a classified unit. All four of my sisters are married and have formal jobs. There is also a younger brother in the family who is currently in college.”
"The above is my family situation, and the following is my personal situation:"
I am 26 years old, currently a deputy regimental commander, with a monthly salary of 127 yuan. I attended military academy, have no particular hobbies, and while I smoke, I don't enjoy it. Song Lubai, I'd like to date you with marriage in mind. Please feel free to offer any suggestions.
Song Lubai was still pondering Wei Yang's family situation, which included having four older sisters.
She ignored everything else and clearly focused on her four older sisters.
"Comrade Wei, the following question may be a bit presumptuous."
Wei Yang said with a serious expression, "You speak!"
Song Lubai then became impolite.
"Did your parents have you after having four daughters in an attempt to have a son?"
Wei Yang was stumped by the question.
He had never thought about this question. Isn't it natural for women to give birth after they get pregnant?
Upon closer examination, the essence of this problem lies in whether his parents are the type of people who favor boys over girls.
After figuring out the key point, he explained, "All four of my older sisters are educated, and two of them are university graduates. Comrade Song, your worries are unnecessary."
Song Lubai wasn't embarrassed at all when she was exposed.
Since he had already told her about his family situation, he shouldn't be afraid of her asking questions.
"Then why aren't you married by the time you're twenty-six?"
Wei Yang said earnestly, "My former boss tried to set me up, and the organization also arranged matchmaking events for the purpose of blind dates, but I have always believed that starting a family is not about finding someone to live with, but about finding someone with similar ideas to move forward together."
