Su Mei didn't dare to eat too much. She ate half a steamed bun, put two mouthfuls of meat into her mouth, drank another bowl of egg drop soup, and stood up.
She asked Aunt Wang for another bowl and chopsticks, and brought back a breakfast for Huo Jianguo.
Since she didn't need to go to the clinic, Su Mei took the clothes she had changed out of the past two days to the yard, planning to wash them all and hang them up while she had a rest.
When hugging her own clothes, Su Mei saw the clothes Huo Jianguo took off the night before, and after thinking about it, she took them out together.
It's so dirty that it's really hard to see if it's piled up in the house.
She picked up her clothes and went out. Behind her, Huo Jianguo, who was lying on the bed reading a book, saw her go out and immediately moved the book slightly away and took a look at her fat back.
He couldn't help but raised his lips.
Su Mei could help Huo Jianguo wash the clothes, but the socks piled in the footbath made Su Mei embarrassed. She could only look at the socks, but she didn't want to reach out and touch them.
But she still took out the footbath with the socks in it.
Because there weren’t many pots at home, she had to use the pots to put the washed and wrung clothes. She didn’t wash the pair of socks, so she just picked them up with a wooden stick and hung them in the treetops in the yard.
Then she went to the kitchen to boil water. While waiting for the water to boil, Su Mei found a broom and a shovel and cleared the snow from the kitchen to the wellhead.
She had to constantly carry water back and forth between the kitchen and the well, and cleaning it would avoid slipping.
After the water boiled, Su Mei began to wash the clothes in the yard. She took the brush, spread the clothes on the slate for washing clothes in the yard, and started brushing quickly and hard.
The sound of washing clothes sounded inexplicably pleasant to Huo Jianguo. He didn't come out to see it, but he had already sketched in his mind a picture of a fat, hunched waist, working hard to live.
He was reading a book, but his thoughts drifted to the yard, where he stayed with Su Mei.
As long as Su Mei washed her clothes, Huo Jianguo listened to the sound of scrubbing. The "Military Combat Strategy" in his hand had not been turned over since Su Mei left the house.
Su Mei was efficient and capable in doing things. Although it was difficult for her fat body to squat, she still finished brushing all the clothes quickly.
When she stood up, Su Mei held her waist and let out a long sigh of relief.
This time she was washing clothes, she found that when she squatted down, it was not as strenuous as when she was washing clothes for the first time, and her waist seemed a little smaller when she felt it.
It's a pity that there is no scale. She has a large base, so it is probably not obvious that she has lost weight at all.
After washing the clothes, she had to rinse them with clean water. She poured out the dirty water from washing the clothes, picked up the bucket and was about to go to the kitchen to get hot water when two uninvited guests suddenly came to the yard——
Liang Youwei and Zhao Ying are here!
Zhao Ying looked very unhappy, and Liang Youwei was filled with disgust when he saw Su Mei, but he still tried his best to greet Su Mei with a lukewarm smile:
"Sister-in-law Huo, are you busy?"
"Is something wrong?" Su Mei raised her head and glanced at the bacon, tobacco and wine in Zhao Ying and Liang Youwei's hands.
She actually knew what these two people were here for, but she just didn't say it.
When Liang Youwei heard Su Mei's words, he raised the cigarette and wine in his hand and said, "Didn't I hear that Jianguo was injured? We came here specially to have a look!"
Haha, take a look? Do you think you need to carry so many things? Just to see if it was fake or to ask for help was real, Su Mei remained calm: "Huo Jianguo is inside the house."
After she finished speaking, she ignored the couple and entered the kitchen with her bucket.
It would be better to wash two more pieces of clothes instead of wasting your time with annoying people.
The couple didn't talk to Su Mei any more and entered the house carrying their things.
"Jianguo, I heard that you were seriously injured, are you okay?" Liang Youwei entered the room and put cigarettes and wine on Huo Jianguo's table while saying hello to Huo Jianguo.
Zhao Ying, who was following him, also piled bacon and noodles on the table next to the kang.
Huo Jianguo looked at the gifts the two of them had brought, raised his eyebrows secretly, and said, "I can't die, why bother you, and why you brought so many things and made a special trip to see me."
"Don't bother, don't bother." Liang Youwei smiled awkwardly and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
He came specifically to see Huo Jianguo. He clearly came with these things to beg Huo Jianguo to let Su Mei become a lobbyist and to persuade Lu Zhenhai not to withdraw Zhao Ying's recommendation for employment.
When Huo Jianguo said this, he suddenly didn't know how to open his mouth and get back to the topic.
Could he still say, I'm not here to see you specifically, I'm here to beg you for Zhao Ying's affairs?
Zhao Ying was worthy of being a teacher, and her reaction was very quick. Seeing that Liang Youwei was speechless, she secretly rolled her eyes at him, and then took over:
"Mr. Huo, you don't need to be so polite. You are injured and we should come and see you. A mere gift is not disrespectful.
Our two families live so close together, and the neighbors should move around and help each other.
Although we are here to see you, we actually have something to do and would like to ask you to do us a small favor! "
Look at how well these words are said. We come to see you because it is our intention. We have all come to see you. We just want you to do a small favor. You won't refuse to help, right?
Huo Jianguo knew clearly what kind of medicine Zhao Ying was selling in this gourd, but he still followed Zhao Ying's words and asked:
"Oh, how can I help you?"
"It's just a small matter." Zhao Ying glanced at Liang Youwei, thinking that since the chat box had been opened, she might as well open the skylight and speak frankly:
"Mr. Huo, didn't I have a misunderstanding with Su Mei a few days ago?
Somehow this misunderstanding reached the ears of my uncle. He got very angry and said he was going to the city to revoke my recommendation for employment.
If I don’t have a recommendation, I won’t be able to attend the class... That’s it. We want Su Mei to talk to my uncle. It’s not a big deal in the first place, so why is it making such a fuss? "
"Misunderstanding?" Huo Jianguo almost laughed angrily: "You created evidence to slander my wife and almost asked me to expel her from the Military Academy. And then you told me that it was a misunderstanding. Isn't that a big deal?"
"It's not a big deal!" Zhao Ying replied matter-of-factly:
"I will do this because Su Mei has done mischief too many times in the past. Compared with the things she has done before, what can I do?
If I don’t pursue her past affairs, she shouldn’t pursue mine. Wouldn’t it be better to level things up? "
"Not good." Su Mei, who had been listening outside for a long time, finally couldn't help throwing down her clothes and rushed in. She wiped her hands on her apron and said:
"Zhao Ying, you want me to speak for you, that's impossible. If you want to pursue my past, then go ahead and pursue it.
Don't threaten me. It doesn't work. Now you know you're going to lose your job? Then when you wronged me, why didn't you think that I would lose my marriage and my family?
I don’t know what your motive is for deliberately driving me out of the compound! But I know that people like you who do whatever it takes to achieve your goals are not worthy of being a teacher.
You still want me to intercede for you, have your sweet autumn dream, and go somewhere cool and stay somewhere. "
