The third volume, the helplessness of the heartache Chapter 3, the troubles turn into smoke and dust(1/2)
While the Zhou family was sitting around the kang table and preparing for breakfast, Tiemin had already arrived at the platform of Gangcheng Railway Station and was about to take the train heading towards Jicheng to find Wang Li in Jicheng.
This was the decision he made last night after being kissed by Liu Dongmei in succession.
He slipped out of the house early in the morning and carried only a military bag. It contained a household registration book and employee certificate, as well as the newly paid salary of the month. He took the first bus to Gangcheng.
Before entering the station, he spent one dollar to buy five bread, which was his food for the whole day.
The railway clearly stipulates that there are two free ticket discounts for railway employees taking the train. One is for business trips, and the unit can issue a free ride permit for them. The other is for medical treatment due to illness, which is from the local health center or railway hospital.
He issued a free medical treatment certificate.
The third type of railway was chosen, in the current words: face swiping.
After he got on the train without a ticket, he needed to say hello to the train conductor first to explain his destination. Only with the train conductor's permission could he get the train for free.
Generally speaking, if you travel for a short distance, you only take three to five stops. The train conductor may open the door and acquiesce to take the ride.
Those like Tiemin need to take more than ten stops, which lasts as long as six or seven hours, and they will basically be rejected.
Tiemin got on the train with crutches. He did not dare to go into the carriage to find a seat, but stayed at the train connection. Once he found that the conductor had checked the ticket, he walked towards another carriage. If necessary, he got into the toilet.
You can successfully avoid being investigated.
He fought guerrillas all the way to Jicheng.
After walking out of the station, Tiemin inquired all the way, found the bus station, bought a bus ticket to Changbai County, and rushed to Changbai County.
Tiemin heard Wang Li say while chatting that her uncle's family lives in Changbai County. With just this information, Tiemin traveled more than a thousand kilometers to find Wang Li.
Tiemin came to Changbai County with this stupid persistence. He got off the bus and stayed there.
In Tiemin's opinion, Changbai County has only a few streets and all the self-built houses around him. He only needs to inquire about the cooked food stall of the old Xie family and find Wang Li's uncle as he wishes.
That's what Wang Li said at the beginning.
The smoked and cooked food from her uncle's family is known to everyone in Changbai County. You can smell the fragrance of cooked food from the Xie family by walking a few steps.
He walked out of the bus stop and was first shocked by the tall streets.
Just look at it, buses and cars are the most common three-wheeled motorcycles that stop when they wave to the front. I didn’t see any vegetable market at all. All I smelled was the fishy smell of dust and the exhaust gas emitted by motor vehicles.
He stopped a tricycle and asked the old Xie family's cooked food stall. The man replied: "We are full of the old Xie family's cooked food. Who knows which one you are looking for?"
Tiemin didn't know that Xie Ronghao's cooked food processing has long been famous in Changbai County. Now he has opened a cooked food product factory. Not only does he supply cooked food stalls in various vegetable markets in the county, but he also created his own brand to produce vacuum-packed Changbai brand.
Braised series of smoked sauce products.
The motorcycle driver's words made Tiemin's inflexible thinking suddenly fall into a dull state.
Looking for a needle in a haystack, where will he find Wang Li?
If someone else is changed, they may go directly to the source, find Changbai Cooked Food Products Factory, and follow the clues to find clues.
In Tiemin's thoughts, Xie Guizhi only drove a sales truck. Although his elder brother is famous, he can only open a deli restaurant. So he used the clumsy method to search for the vegetable market all the way and ask about Lao Xie one by one.
Home cooked food.
The so-called colleagues are enemies, and it is impossible for any stall owner to enthusiastically provide him with the exact address of the cooked food stall of Lao Xie family.
The reason is very simple. One more peer will lead to one more competitor. People look for Tiemin all the way, treating it as a peer who inquires and touches the market.
Tiemin walked through several markets until the market closed, and he didn't find out about the old Xie family's cooked food stall.
Of course, there were also some honest people who reminded him to go to Changbai Cooked Food Products Factory to inquire, and said that the boss's surname was Xie.
You said Tiemin is so stupid.
He thoughtfully that Uncle Wang Li could not make the deal so big, and that Changbai Cooked Food Products Factory was located in a town dozens of miles away. Even if he was a motorcycle, it would cost more than ten yuan to go back and forth.
The only salary he had in his pocket was not spent on the fare for traveling. So he decided to stay and look for the Xie family's cooked food stall the next day.
Let’s talk about it for a long story. Tiemin lives in Changbai County and spends three dollars a day in a hotel. He spends two dollars a day on a bowl of noodles. He spends more than ten dollars a day.
Zhao Miao asked him for a week's leave. He spent three days in Changbai County, relying on walking on the market with crutches.
He hurried out from home and forgot to bring medicine. As his feet wrapped in plaster gradually swollen, he still couldn't find Wang Li's uncle's house.
In desperation, he had to return to Jicheng and take the train to the town.
In just three days, the family was in chaos.
Tiemin disappeared all day long, and Liu Dongmei said Tiemin went to find Wang Li based on her own imagination.
Aunt Zhou was determined to explain to Tiemin: He went to work in the unit, so how could he have time to find Wang Li?
I'm afraid I'm having to worry about things.
The so-called "no wind can no longer cause waves" and Liu Dongmei said so surely, there must be sufficient evidence. Aunt Zhou could only pretend not to hear it, find an irrelevant topic, and change the focus.
"Dongmei, your godfather said that I will invite your dad to come to your house for engagement meal tomorrow." As Aunt Zhou said, Liu Dongmei's tears fell down. Aunt Zhou said in confusion: "Why are you still crying?
Now.”
Liu Dongmei cried so sadly. After Aunt Zhou asked this, she actually started sobbing.
She said Tiemin went to find Wang Li, which was purely an excuse to find reasons for not opening a letter of marriage introduction.
The father-in-law and in-laws in the Zhou family were all determined to marry her. Tiemin took the initiative to register and get married with her, and she also went home sincerely to send a letter of introduction.
The problem lies with his father Liu Shoucheng. He suspiciously made Liu Dongmei feel at a loss and didn't know what to do next.
She wanted to listen to her father's words, stay at home, and wait for the Zhou family to give an accurate statement before sending a letter of marriage introduction.
But she didn't dare to stay at home for a long time, for fear that Tiemin and Wang Li would have secretly registered for marriage during the period of leaving the Zhou family, which made his father's prophecy unfortunately come true. How could she lose the upcoming happiness?
She stayed at home all night in a hurry.
Today, she went from morning to noon and didn't see Zhou Zhiqiang coming to her house. She couldn't sit still and didn't dare to tell Liu Shoucheng, so she secretly ran back to the Zhou family to check the situation, but she was turned away first.
When people are nervous, they always like to think randomly.
She didn't know that Zhou Zhiqiang's sick leave ended and she officially started work today. She thought that Zhou Zhiqiang had really gone to her house, and then she got off the house and saw the cloth pocket left by Tiemin and the employee registration card inside.
She made an accurate judgment that Tiemin did not go to work, otherwise he would not have left his registration card at home.
So, where will the iron-minded go?
Liu Dongmei told Aunt Zhou the answer she guessed.
If Aunt Zhou was like in the past, she would whine at all when she encountered things and even scold Tiemin when she opened her mouth, Liu Dongmei would have a support. Next, she could fully rely on her big radish face, which was full of resilience to her, and she would be very resilient to Tiemin with her.
Soft grinding hard bubbles.
Anyway, she had already made up her mind that she would not marry someone else in this life.
Aunt Zhou urgently changed the topic and mentioned that she invited Liu Shoucheng to her house for an engagement meal. Her purpose was to give Liu Dongmei a reassurance and to cover up the indisputable fact that Tiemin went to find Wang Li.
That's right, Aunt Zhou believed in Liu Dongmei's subjective assumptions.
During Zhou Zhiqiang's hospitalization, Tiemin ignored his father's life and death for Wang Li. He could not suddenly change his mind and register for marriage with Liu Dongmei.
In the Zhou family, the first person who suspected that Tiemin was cheating was Aunt Zhou.
As for the same thing, Aunt Zhou has not yet taken care of who Tiemin wants to marry to.
No matter who he married, as long as he wants.
So, when Aunt Zhou handed over the household registration book to Tiemin, she first said the ugly words first. This was Tiemin's own decision and it had nothing to do with her parents' decision.
Aunt Zhou protects her baby and cares a lot about the children's choice, but Zhou Zhiqiang is at home to cover up the situation.
For a housewife, Aunt Zhou can do this and is an enlightened mother.
It was because Aunt Zhou did not follow Liu Dongmei's words and mentioned that she wanted to invite Liu Shoucheng to her house for an engagement meal, which caused great psychological pressure to Liu Dongmei.
She knew that her parents' decrees may not necessarily represent Tiemin's wishes. The prophecy of her father Liu Shoucheng formed a huge pressure, and she could only cry.
Aunt Zhou didn't know why Liu Dongmei was crying, and she was crying very sadly. She didn't know what language to use to comfort Liu Dongmei.
Aunt Zhou wanted to ask for the reason, but Liu Dongmei answered with tears, so she lost interest in inquiring and focused on her injured toe.
Shengzi and Yanzi came back from school, and Aunt Zhou arranged for dinner.
Seeing that Liu Dongmei was never moved by her words, she waited for Tiemin to come back in a desperate situation. Aunt Zhou said, "You can't be abusive to his problem. You don't say anything. You won't see anyone for a day and you won't come back after dinner."
He walked to the gate as if he had nothing to do with his child and whispered to Liu Dongmei: "I know where Wang Li lives."
Liu Dongmei looked at the childbirth and knew that the kid was smart. She whispered to the childbirth and said, "What are you good ideas?"
The child was about to walk away when he was swaying, but Liu Dongmei grabbed him and said, "It's good for you."
"What's the benefit?" It's so realistic to have a child, and never give it a waste of time.
Liu Dongmei thought for a while and said, "As long as you..."
"Forget it." The son heard the implicit sound of Liu Dongmei. As long as there is a premise that cannot achieve this goal, Liu Dongmei is a porcelain rooster, and she will never give up any penny.
"If you can find your brother, I will give you ten dollars." Liu Dongmei took out ten dollars from her pocket. She gave birth to her son and took the money while Liu Dongmei was not prepared. She said, "Follow me."
Liu Dongmei didn't know what bad water was hidden in her baby's belly, so she came to Wang Li's house with her baby all the way, and said, "My brother must be at her house."
"You knock on the door and ask him to go home for dinner." Liu Dongmei thought that after spending ten yuan, she could do what she said by giving birth.
"That's so troublesome." Shengzi looked around, picked up a stone from the corner of the wall, aimed at the window glass of the newly built small house of Wang Li's house, and flew out with a "swoosh".
