Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei didn't go far, they were at the end of the corridor, where they could see the ward at a glance.
"Sister Shumei, what are you going to do?" Lin Nianhe asked softly.
"I plan to send Damin to join the army. Two days ago, the neighborhood committee informed me of the draft. I plan to find some connections to give him some gifts and send him away as soon as possible, and then send Xiaoxiao to the countryside," Wang Shumei said. "My sister-in-law just gave birth to a baby. Children, taking care of Xiao Xiao is exhausting, and she always likes to take things on her shoulders. Xiao Xiao and Damin are just causing trouble in front of her."
"You haven't graduated from junior high school yet, right?"
"Well... I can't control that much anymore." Wang Shumei shook her head tiredly, "That woman is a lunatic. Xiaoxiao will always run into her one day here. If you can't offend me, why can't you hide away?"
If she could, she didn't want to be cowardly, but her younger siblings were still young, so she wanted them to grow up peacefully rather than having a temporary quarrel.
Lin Nianhe looked at her for a while and said, "Don't let Xiaoxiao go to the countryside. Take the child back. Then I'll go find Uncle Wang and ask Xiaoxiao to transfer to Lan County to go to school."
"Is this possible?"
"If he didn't agree, I would sit in front of his office."
Wang Shumei lowered her eyes and sighed for a long time.
Lin Nianhe patted her shoulder and suggested: "Actually, if Brother Qian and sister-in-law want to go to Lan County, it's okay. The textile factory must set up a transportation team. Brother Qian has experience and is just right. Sister-in-law can also do it if she goes there." Occasional jobs... But it all depends on how you think about it. After all, leaving your hometown is not a small matter."
"I don't have anything to worry about at home... I'll ask my brother later and see what he and my sister-in-law say." Wang Shumei was low on energy and felt a headache when she thought about things a little too much.
"Well, let's talk slowly. Don't rush. The textile factory hasn't even bought a car. It's still early to form a transportation team." Lin Nianhe asked again, "Does Chen Daya have a job?"
"Yes, I work in a food factory." Wang Shumei gently pressed her forehead.
"where is your house?"
"Wait...wait, what are you going to do?" Wang Shumei suddenly became alert. She turned to stare at Lin Nianhe, "Chen Daya is a shrew, don't even think about running away to fight with her! I'm not exaggerating, Xiaolan is under her control You may not be able to get any benefits!”
"Hey, I'm not the person who likes to use hands." Lin Nianhe shook his head, "Why do you use hands when you can solve things with your brain? The effect of force is reciprocal. If you hit someone, you will also feel pain."
Wang Shumei was doubtful and refused to tell Lin Nianhe where her home was.
"Forget it, Xie Si and I will go out and settle the matter of serving as soldiers first." Lin Nianhe stretched out, as if he didn't care that Wang Shumei didn't tell him his address.
"Hey, Nianhe, I'll get you some money."
"We'll talk about it later, Xie Si is rich."
Lin Nianhe pulled Xie Yufei out of the hospital. The two bought soda and wandered aimlessly.
Xie Yu was eager to try: "Xiaohe, are you looking for Yehu?"
"Don't be so narrow-minded. Do you have to go to Yehu to hit someone?" Lin Nianhe replied casually.
"I knew you were going to beat her up too!"
Xie Yufei held the soda bottle in his backhand and waved it twice in the air: "I'll hit her in the mud with just two blows!"
Lin Nianhe pressed down his arm to avoid hurting passers-by: "Don't smash her into the mud first. Think about how to send Damin to be a soldier first."
"Ah?" Xie Yufei was confused, "Isn't it just a matter of signing up?"
Lin Nianhe rolled his eyes at him: "You think this is a vegetable market, and you go just as you say?"
"Then if you don't pass the review, it's useless to contact anyone," Xie Yufei touched his nose, "Like me, my dad screened me out without anyone else reviewing me."
Lin Nianhe burst out laughing.
She patted Xie Yufei on the shoulder and said: "The main reason for Damin's matter is that we are short of time. You can find connections and arrange a physical examination as soon as possible. We can come up with it as soon as possible. If you fail, we can think of other ways out. "
"Oh, that's easy. Can we accommodate special circumstances?" Xie Yufei looked around for the post office. "I have to call my second brother-in-law and ask."
Lin Nianhe pointed in the direction of the post office he saw just now: "Go ahead, I'll leave this matter to you. I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you."
"Why are you going!"
Lin Nianhe said without looking back: "Shopping, let's go see Sister Shumei's nephew."
"Wait for me to go with you!"
"My sister-in-law is still in confinement. How can you act like a grown man?"
"Hey you..."
Before Xie Yufei finished speaking, Lin Nianhe had already disappeared.
Xie Yufei looked at the big sun in the sky, thought about it for a moment and then felt relieved: "It's bright and clear in broad daylight. Even if she wants to hit someone, she can't do it at this time..."
Thinking like this, Xie Yufei turned around and went to the post office.
Lin Nianhe went around for a while, asking around, and soon found the food station.
She inquired about Wang Shumei's home near the vegetable station, and after taking some unnecessary steps and bypassing two sewers without manhole covers, she found Wang Shumei's father's home.
The door of Wang's house was locked, and there were faint sounds coming out, like children playing.
Lin Nianhe stood at the gate of Wang's house and looked at his watch. It was twelve o'clock exactly.
"Hey, who are you looking for?" The neighbor next door looked at Lin Nianhe and asked, frowning and looking at her.
"Hello, aunt, I am Wang Shumei's friend. After my little arm was broken, she had a high fever and kept calling her daddy. Sister Shumei asked me to come find her father." Lin Nianhe's smile was quiet and well-behaved, which was extremely deceptive.
The neighbor's aunt muttered "sin" and then said: "Daughter, listen to my aunt and leave quickly. Shumei's father won't come home at noon. Chen Daya will come back to make food for her son. If he bumps into you, then You girl, you might want to scold me! Be obedient and leave quickly, you don’t have the same common sense as her."
"That's it," Lin Nianhe said with fear on his face, "Fortunately, aunt, you kindly told me, then I'll go to the unit to find Uncle Wang."
"Okay, go quickly, she will be back in about ten minutes." The neighbor's aunt obviously couldn't stand Chen Daya, so she spat before entering the house.
Lin Nianhe waited for her to enter the house, then turned around and walked in the opposite direction. After taking a few steps, she quickly dodged and hid in the back wall of Wang's house.
Thirteen minutes later, Chen Daya's exaggerated laughter came from the Wang family.
"Son, come and eat. Mom brought you meat from the canteen!"
"Hey, that old immortal in the cafeteria refused to give me some meat, so she forced me to dig her up with a rice spoon!"
Chen Daya was showing off her achievements when suddenly a stone fell from the sky and accurately smashed the glass of her house.
"Fuck! What little bastard dares to smash my glass!"
Chen Daya suddenly became angry, and rushed out of the house without even wearing a cotton coat, carrying a kitchen knife.
At a glance, she saw a fleeing figure more than ten meters away. The man looked back at her, as if he was provoking.
With just one glance, Chen Daya could clearly see the appearance of the person coming——
He has a dark face, thick lips, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and short hair.
She was sure she had never seen this kid before.
Seeing that she didn't take a step, the boy actually threw another stone at her.
"You bastard, stop here! I'll chop you up!"
Chen Daya held up a kitchen knife and strode after him.
