After returning to Xiayu Township, Zheng Bajin returned the car to Zhao Qian and asked her to drive it back to the township government and walk home by herself.
Zhao Qian said unhappily: "What time is it now? Go have some food in the cafeteria, and then I will take you back."
"No need. I'm not hungry. I want to walk. I haven't had time to run in the past two days. I feel uncomfortable all over." Zheng Bajin said with a smile.
Zhao Qian couldn't help but curl her lips, thinking, does this guy not want to be seen coming back from the city with her?
I'm an unmarried girl and I don't care. What am I afraid of?
However, she did not expose it and just said calmly: "On such a hot day, how long will it take you to walk back alone?"
"Soon." Zheng Bajin took her words as a question and answered truthfully.
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhao Qian felt very uncomfortable, and secretly made up her mind to ignore this kid again. It was like turning the other cheek and disowning him.
Zheng Bajin did not go back to Shili Village. Instead, he weighed several kilograms of the best apples on the street and stopped a truck returning to the city.
Back in the city, it was already afternoon. I found a restaurant, had something to eat, and walked straight to the community to ask where Zhao Qian’s home was. As a daughter, she doesn't want to go home to see her, so helping her can be considered as a filial piety.
An old woman was sitting under a tree in the community to enjoy the cool air. Zheng Bajin walked over and pretended to ask for directions. However, she didn't speak in a hurry. Instead, she picked out a big apple and handed it to her.
The old man looked at Zheng Bajin and felt that he was very unfamiliar. However, seeing that he took the initiative to give things to others, he didn't pay attention to it. He also praised: "Young man, it's not bad. Are you going to give gifts to some leader's house?"
"No, aunt, don't get me wrong, I want to find someone." Although Zheng Bajin knew Zhao Qian's home and had sent her home before, but if he wanted to trick the old man, he would pretend that he couldn't find him.
"Which one? Young man, you have found the right person. I don't know all the residents in this community." The old man looked proud, and even the wrinkles on his face smoothed out a lot.
"Maybe you don't know this person, because she is still young, less than twenty years old." Zheng Bajin deliberately played it off.
"Who are you looking down on?" The old man looked a little unhappy and stared at Zheng Bajin.
"Her name is Zhao Qian!" Zheng Bajin said, looking at the old man with an expression that he didn't know.
"Ha, you're talking about the daughter of the old Zhao family. I grew up watching this person." The old man looked even more proud.
Zheng Bajin's heart moved. In this case, his worries were unnecessary.
"Both Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao are workers in a leather shoe factory. They have worked hard all their lives and they have given birth to a daughter like this. Let me tell you, even though Mr. and Mrs. Zhao are both educated people, in fact they have a serious preference for boys over girls. If it weren't for this Zhao Qian She has been well-behaved and smart since she was a child. When she was studying, if she took second place, she would not dare to take first place. Maybe Lao Zhao would have abandoned her mother and daughter long ago and found a new one to give birth to a fat boy."
When the old man talks about other people's gossip, he can't stop cutting it with a sickle, and he talks about it in detail.
Zheng Bajin nodded and felt relieved when he heard that Zhao Qian was Lao Zhao's daughter and could not be Lao Yang's illegitimate daughter.
As for Zhao Qian's wife, after giving birth to Zhao Qian, there was an accident and there would be no recurrence. Zheng Bajin was not very interested.
Both Lao and Zhao will be laid off in the future, which is not important to him.
"Young man, have you fallen in love with this girl?" The old man couldn't help but ask with a smile when he saw that Zheng Bajin stopped answering and seemed to be listening intently.
"Don't worry, this girl is good. I watched her grow up. Later, she went to work in the city government and became the leader's secretary. She was a hit. However, she has never caused any trouble for the family, let alone Something embarrassing has been reported. It is said that he is no longer in the city government, but has been transferred to a township as an official."
Zheng Bajin nodded, thinking to himself, you don't need to tell me this, I have tried it myself, and sure enough, it is very traditional.
Otherwise, if a beautiful woman like her had her defense broken in college, how could she wait until she could pick it up slowly?
"Since he is so outstanding, let's give up this unrealistic idea!" Zheng Bajin suddenly changed his original plan. There is no need to go to Lao Zhao again. This old woman said that she is her biological child, so it is not wrong. No trouble could escape her mouth.
"What's going on?" The old man looked at Zheng Bajin strangely, "Such an outstanding person, don't you want to give it a try?"
"Just because I'm too outstanding, I'm too ordinary and unworthy, so I don't dare to have such unreasonable thoughts." Zheng Bajin said, looking like he was giving up and was about to leave.
"You deserve it, you are not bad! Young people, don't belittle yourself. By the way, my surname is Wang, and people call me Wang Ma. Wang Ma can help you put in a few nice words, and it will definitely come true."
Zheng Bajin was stunned. Isn't this a typical Wang Po? Really good at talking. He shook his head hurriedly and said: "No need to thank you, Mother Wang. I think I should find an ordinary woman who can live an easy life. I'm afraid I won't be able to control a woman who is too good."
At that time, he will end up with the result that "the big man should take medicine".
He did not say this sentence, but said with a smile: "Mother Wang, consider this piece of fruit as my filial piety to you."
With that said, she stuffed several kilograms of apples into Wang Ma's hand, turned around and left.
"Hey, why don't you try harder?" The old man said with a dark look on his face. Is it because he is not good at eloquence and can't say enough good things?
She began to doubt that her abilities were limited and her oral skills were too poor.
Old Zhao had already asked her to help find someone, saying that as long as he was reliable and a decent person, he could marry him.
After looking for several people, Lao Zhao's wife said no, either because she was not tall enough and not worthy of him, or because he was a bad person and spoke harshly.
I finally found a guy who was okay with people and good-looking, but he was called pornographic by me?
Zheng Bajin no longer cared about what the woman behind him thought, but hurried to the station, bought a ticket, and went directly to the provincial capital.
Things here in Xiayu Township have been basically done. Even if someone still wants to harm him, there will be no big problem for the time being.
The top priority is to visit the bicycle factory. Time waits for no one. We must rush to the next level before the end of the year.
In the evening, when the car arrived at the station, Zheng Bajin was busy taking a human-powered three-wheeler and went directly to the factory.
The doorman Lao Wang saw his sudden arrival and hurriedly came out to open the door for him.
After chatting for a while, Zheng Bajin went to the canteen, hoping to get some cold dishes to eat and temporarily satisfy his hunger.
Wang Yan stuck her head out from upstairs and saw Zheng Bajin coming. She went straight to the cafeteria and shouted hurriedly: "You, are you back? Wait a moment, there is no food in the cafeteria, I'll give it to you!" "
Zheng Bajin was stunned, what kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?
Wang Yan has already gone downstairs, but she seems to have gained a lot of weight and cannot walk as quickly as before.
Zheng Bajin looked away and didn't care.
This woman's life is getting better. It is normal to gain weight, and it is also desirable to become plump.
I think back then, Wang Yan married the wrong person, couldn't afford food and clothing, and lived a hard life. Now that I work in the cafeteria, I don’t have to worry about food or clothing, so there will naturally be a rebound.
