Su Wen stayed at home for another day and collected a lot of eggs from several nearby villages. Su Wen gave them the highest price offered by the steel rolling mill and did not eat the price difference. The next day, I rode my bicycle to send Wang Qianqian to school before riding my bicycle back to Sijiucheng. After Su Wen returned to the steel rolling mill, he went straight to Li Huaide's office.
Li Huaide is now very proud. He just learned from his father-in-law that it is certain that he will become the deputy director of the factory after the year. Liu Lan, the canteen's assistant cook, was acquired by him two days ago.
The door to Li Huaide's office was open. Su Wen walked into the office and closed the door. Li Huaide was processing some documents, and when he saw Su Wen coming in, a smile appeared on his face.
"Su Wen, you're here, sit down and have a cup of tea." Li Huaide greeted warmly.
"Director Li, I am here to return the 500 yuan purchase money you gave me last time," Su Wen put the purchase money Li Huaide gave me last time intact on the desk. "This time I went to the countryside and got a good thing. I brought it to Director Li to try." As he spoke, Su Wen took out the pig badger from the bamboo basket. The cold weather had already frozen it into ice cubes.
"You should keep this money as my reward for your excellent completion of the last task. What kind of meat is this?" Li Huaide picked up the 500 yuan and put it back into Su Wen's hand.
"This is a pig badger, with a net weight of 18 kilograms and more than 20 kilograms with the skin. I just caught it. I peeled off the skin and it is still brewing. When it is ready, Director Li can ask a tailor to make a few pairs. Gloves."
"Okay, I'll accept this pig badger. You take the money and you'll be one of your own from now on. Don't be so arrogant." Su Wen could see that Li Huaide was in a good mood, so he accepted the money and left Li Huaide's office.
Returning to the Purchasing Department, I found Lu Xiuwen, the deputy section chief, and handed over the purchased items to the steel rolling mill. My stomach was already growling with hunger. It was already past the time to eat, so I had no choice but to leave the steel rolling mill and find a small restaurant outside. I ate a bowl of noodles for twenty-six cents. On the street, refugees who had not enough to eat began to enter the city. They were all skinny, their clothes were shabby, and some were begging on the roadside with broken bowls.
After eating the noodles, Su Wen was walking home, feeling a little nervous. He felt someone was following her, and when he looked back, he saw two skinny refugees. Their clothes were ragged, their faces were bloodless, and they looked very haggard.
Su Wen knew that these refugees were homeless, and Su Wen did not want to conflict with them. He kept calm and quickened his pace, wanting to return to the courtyard as soon as possible.
But the two refugees did not stop following Su Wen. They followed Su Wen. Su Wen felt that he could not let them continue to follow him, so he stopped and turned to face them.
"What are you two going to do with me?" Su Wen asked with some vigilance. The two refugees looked a little overwhelmed. They looked at each other, and one of the older ones said: "Comrade, we just want some food. We haven't eaten for several days."
Su Wen felt sad in his heart. He knew that the situation of these two refugees was very difficult. After thinking for a while, he took out four Wowotou from his bag and handed them to them.
The two refugees were overjoyed. They took the food and ate it hungrily. Su Wen watched them eat with gusto, then turned and left. He knew these refugees were just trying to survive.
After Su Wen returned to the courtyard, his heart could not be calm for a long time. He knew that the country was experiencing tremendous suffering, and these refugees were only part of it, and he was powerless in the face of such a large-scale natural disaster.
When the third aunt saw Su Wen coming back, she gave Su Wen the key to the room. The room was warm, and Su Wen didn't have to light the fire again.
On Saturday evening, a major incident occurred that shocked the courtyard. He Yuyu was robbed by some homeless people on his way back from school. After He Yuyu gave them the two yuan he had on him, they refused to let him go and made some bad remarks. Fortunately, the police on patrol discovered and rescued He Yuyu. Now that Jia Dongxu is still alive, He Yuyu's life is still very happy. Shazhu's salary of 27.5 yuan a month is enough to support their brother and sister's expenses.
The attack on He Yuyu was the third robbery incident involving homeless people in a nearby street. Yi Zhonghai organized a hospital-wide meeting and emphasized safety issues over and over again. He was not allowed to leave the courtyard alone after dark, and he had to go to the toilet in groups. The adult men in the courtyard were also asked to take turns going to the gatehouse in groups of three to keep vigil. No one is currently occupying the dormitory and the concierge. The women in the courtyard quickly cleared the concierge out together.
The residents of the courtyard gathered here and there and built a big bunk in the gatehouse so that the night watchers could rest.
When the order of the night watchmen began to be arranged, everyone started to get noisy. There were 28 adult men between 18 and 60 in the courtyard. They could be divided into nine groups and one was alone. No one wants to be at the front, everyone wants to be at the end.
Silly Zhu stayed with the frightened He Yuyu in the house and did not come to attend the hospital meeting. Everyone quarreled so much that Yi Zhonghai finally decided to draw lots to determine the order and grouping of the vigil. There are 28 small pieces of paper, three of each number from 1 to 9 and one blank. Those who draw the same number automatically form a group. The number is the order of the vigil. Su Wen was lucky enough to draw a white paper.
Su Wen also wanted to be isolated by everyone, so he took the initiative and said: "Tonight, I will be the first vigil in a group by myself. I will be alone. I will take one turn every three rounds."
Yi Zhonghai: "Su Wen, you can't keep watch by yourself. It's too unsafe."
"Master, I have a shotgun, and I don't have to go out on patrol. The door is closed, so safety is no problem."
"If there is a real situation, call someone in time."
"I'll shoot if there's danger. Get up and help me."
Su Wen went back to his room and moved his family's bedding into the porter's room. There was no stove in the porter's room, but the old man had an old one at home that caught fire and moved it there.
Su Wen slept soundly that night without Xu Damao making any noise. He got up and checked in the courtyard once at night. There was nothing abnormal, so he continued to sleep.
In the morning, Su Wen moved the bedding back to his home, slept for another night, and then went to pick up Wang Qianqian at the urban and rural passenger terminal.
After a car from Huairou stopped, Su Wen saw Wang Qianqian's figure. There was a surge of joy in my heart and I hurried forward to greet him. When Wang Qianqian saw him, she also had a bright smile on her face.
"Let's go. I'll take you to dinner first. What do you want to eat?"
"Shall we go get the marriage certificate first?"
After hearing Wang Qianqian's words, Su Wen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay, I should have gotten the marriage certificate first and then celebrated properly."
They first went to the street office and got their marriage certificate. Wang Qianqian looked at the marriage certificate in the form of a certificate in her hand and felt extremely happy and satisfied.
