Volume 4, The Lonely and Helpless Cry Chapter 55, It's Not Easy for Anyone(1/2)
Erguo was getting off the night shift today, and he was woken up by a push in his sleep. Zhao Miao was so amazing that she could find him directly at his home.
"Help me call the Iron Man out. I have something to say to him." Zhao Miao gave the order to the two countries.
Without saying anything else, Erguo got up and went to Tiemin's house, just in time to catch up with Liu Shoucheng walking into Zhou's house. Before Erguo could say hello to Zhou Zhiqiang, Liu Shoucheng took out his cigarettes, handed one to him and said, "What class are you in?"
"
"After the night shift." Erguo didn't take the cigarette Liu Shoucheng handed him and asked Zhou Zhiqiang, "Where's Tiemin?"
"It's in the lower room." Zhou Zhiqiang glanced at Liu Shoucheng's cigarette and blurted out: "Oh, Dachongjiu, it smokes so well."
"When I go to open a letter of introduction to Dongmei, I have to get a pack of good cigarettes." Liu Shoucheng forced a cigarette into Er Guo's hand and said, "Here is one."
Erguo was forced to accept the cigarette. He took the initiative to light the cigarette for Liu Shoucheng and then lit it for Zhou Zhiqiang.
He was surprised to find that Liu Shoucheng ignored Zhou Zhiqiang and put the cigarette directly into his pocket.
You bastard bastard, you don't know the rules of smoking. You'd rather live in a group than alone.
Zhou Zhiqiang's eyes widened and he looked Liu Shoucheng up and down.
"Uncle Zhou, you smoke this." Erguo wanted to pass the cigarette to Zhou Zhiqiang.
"I don't want it." Zhou Zhiqiang was still looking at Liu Shoucheng.
Liu Shoucheng took a deep drag on his cigarette, puffed out a smile and said, "You smoke dry cigarettes, this thing is boring."
As he spoke, he took out his cigarettes, took one out and handed it to Zhou Zhiqiang.
Liu Shoucheng thought that Zhou Zhiqiang would definitely not take it, but he didn't expect that Zhou Zhiqiang not only took the cigarette, but also held it in his mouth, waiting for him to light it.
Erguo complied with Zhou Zhiqiang's request, took the initiative to light a fire for him, and turned around to go to the lower room.
"Looking at your posture, you have something important to do, so you have to leave after just saying a few words." Zhou Zhiqiang took a puff of cigarette and gave Liu Shoucheng an order to expel him.
"You're really impressed." Liu Shoucheng took out the letter of introduction, handed it to Zhou Zhiqiang and said, "I officially reported to the freight workshop today, but I was delayed by Dongmei's matter."
As Liu Shoucheng was about to leave, he was grabbed by Zhou Zhiqiang and said: "It's better to meet by chance than to invite me. You came at the right time today. I've finished buying the groceries. Come back after you finish your errands and let's have an engagement dinner."
"It's settled..." Liu Shoucheng was very unhappy. It's such a solemn thing to have an engagement dinner, but Zhou Zhiqiang is so casual, and it's better to meet me by chance than to invite me. What do you think of me?
He said: "When it comes to your in-laws, you are too generous."
"We've already prepared the food for our relatives, so how can we miss out on the outside." Zhou Zhiqiang heard Liu Shoucheng's voiceover, and he said politely: "Anyway, I've prepared the dishes. It's up to you whether you come to eat or not."
Liu Shoucheng turned around and left.
Zhou Zhiqiang followed him, not forgetting to glance at the clock on the cabinet and said, "You do the important things first, and we will cook the vegetables when you come back. I will ask Dongmei to pick up all the vegetables later, and wait for you to come back."
If Liu Shoucheng knew about it, it would be because he did not take the initiative to give Zhou Zhiqiang a cigarette, which caused Zhou Zhiqiang to reward him with an engagement dinner. I guess he would never make such a mistake in his next life.
As soon as Liu Shoucheng left on his bicycle, Tie Min walked out of the courtyard.
Zhao Miao stood there far away, and Tie Min waved to her, indicating that she had something to say in the room. Zhao Miao shook her head and deliberately waved to Tie Min to come over.
Tie Min paused for a few seconds. Seeing Liu Shoucheng riding away, he limped up to Zhao Miao and said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk at home. It's almost noon, and Er Guo happens to be at home too. Let's have some more drinks."
.”
"You're cheating me." Zhao Miao rolled her eyes at Tiemin and whispered, "Do I dare to drink during working hours?"
"If you don't want to drink, you can always have a meal." Tiemin tugged on Zhao Miao's lapel and said, "Let's go inside and sit for a while."
"You didn't even ask, why did I come to you all the time?" Zhao Miao shook off Tie Min's hand and said, "Liu Dongmei went to see me just now and said some unreasonable things to me."
Tiemin's eyes suddenly widened, waiting blankly for what Zhao Miao would say next.
"She regards me as her love rival." Zhao Miao seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
She didn't want to laugh, but she felt that under this situation, she had to show a sense of detachment.
Seeing Tiemin still looking at her blankly, Zhao Miao became unhappy.
She whispered: "What did you lose?"
The ironborn shook his head numbly.
"Then what are you looking for on my face?" Zhao Miao said from the bottom of his heart, amused by Tiemin's silly look.
Tie Min's face suddenly turned red. He scratched his head and said, "Liu Dongmei is completely insane. Don't be as knowledgeable as her."
"You knew she was crazy, yet you dared to marry her." Zhao Miao deliberately showed surprise.
"Ah...I..." Tiemin said incoherently, not knowing how to respond.
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore." Zhao Miao finished the greetings and turned to the topic: "I know your cultural level is not high, but you won't give your life to an unqualified person like Liu Dongmei.
.”
Tiemin was shocked by Zhao Miao's frankness.
"I suggest you put the marriage aside for the time being and get along with Liu Dongmei for a while. When you really feel that you can tolerate her character and conduct, and are sure that living with her will not cause any pain,
It’s not too late to get married.”
"What did Liu Dongmei tell you?" Tiemin asked tentatively.
He was certain that Zhao Miao would not come to tell him this just for Liu Dongmei's sake in the workshop. Especially when Zhao Miao mentioned his so-called love rival, Tiemin felt a cold wind rush up his spine after hearing this.
Zhao Miao lowered her head and thought for a while and said: "She regards me as a love rival. She even brought a pair of briefs and said that she has given her body to you and asked me to stay away from you."
Tiemin's face suddenly burned, and he felt a little ashamed.
"I'm sorry, you said she...are talking nonsense." Tiemin faltered, really not knowing how to explain to Zhao Miao.
"Her words also reminded me." This was the main purpose of Zhao Miao's decision to come to Tiemin after careful consideration. She said: "Tiemin, you are a good person, I like you very much, and I really want to help you.
"
"Thank you, I... don't deserve you to treat me like this." Tiemin was flattered. He never expected that Zhao Miao could take the initiative to express her love for him.
Isn't she just angry?
Tie Min lowered his head, looked at Zhao Miao's face carefully, and said with a smile: "You are just kidding me."
Zhao Miao was amused by Tie Min's funny look. Then she said with a straight face: "If you treat me as a friend, you'd better not marry Liu Dongmei first, otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"I understand." Tiemin nodded very seriously and said, "Zhao Miao, thank you."
"Don't be verbally angry. If you want to thank me, be sincere." Zhao Miao smiled like a girl and said, "Please treat me to a meal some other time."
"No problem." Tiemin answered readily, his heart pounding again.
"Hey, Zhao Miao is here, why don't you come in and sit for a while." Liu Dongmei finally broke through the two countries' defense line. She ran out of the door and saw Tiemin and Zhao Miao hiding aside and whispering. She raised her voice and said:
"Why are you hiding behind someone's back? Why are you hiding so far away?"
"You are too rude." Erguo followed Liu Dongmei and complained: "When people talk about work matters, it seems like something is wrong when you say that."
"You know shit." Liu Dongmei rolled her eyes at Erguo and trotted over.
In front of Zhao Miao, Liu Dongmei asked Tiemin: "Brother, what did she tell you?"
Before Tie Min could answer, Zhao Miao smiled and said, "I've talked a lot. Which part do you want to hear?"
"I..." Liu Dongmei noticed that Tie Min had repeated the expression on that night when he was about to hit her with a cane. She suddenly panicked. She explained: "I don't have any other intention. Since I came all the way, let's just sit at home for a while."
.”
"This is none of your business, go home." Tiemin suppressed his anger and ordered Liu Dongmei: "Don't be shameless."
Liu Dongmei wanted to say something else, but after hearing Tiemin's last words, she turned around and ran back to Zhou's house.
Zhao Miao smiled and said: "Not bad, you still have some strength in your words."
"I'm sorry, Zhao Miao, I apologize to you on her behalf." This was Tiemin's heartfelt apology.
At the same time, he also felt angry, and his hands felt itchy. If Liu Dongmei's big face wasn't there, it would be difficult to relieve the hatred in his heart if he slapped her hard several times.
"No need, no matter what I did for you, I did it willingly and I don't want anything in return from you." Zhao Miao saw Er Guo walking over with a smile. She pushed on the bicycle and said, "Go back. If you have anything to say, I'll wait."
You can talk about it after you get to work and let's go."
Zhao Miao got on her bicycle and left.
"Don't go." Erguo trotted over, and Zhao Miao had already cycled away. He complained to Tiemin and said, "It's already noon when we talk, stay here for a bite to eat."
"He steamed rice." Tiemin told a lie that no one would believe.
It is a well-known fact that Zhao Miao lives in a single dormitory, eats in the staff canteen, and does not cook rice in the workshop at noon.
"What is he looking for you for?" Erguo asked Tiemin.
"Let's talk about something casual." Tiemin was about to return to the lower room, but saw Erguo still standing there, looking at him with a strange look, and said puzzledly: "What do you mean, don't go into the room and sit for a while."
"Tiemin, I want to ask you something." Erguo regained his smile, walked up to Tiemin, and whispered in his ear: "I'm optimistic about Zhao Miao, can you introduce him to me?"
The ironborn shook his head unprepared.
Erguo slapped Tiemin and said, "What do you mean? You are about to get married. Didn't you see that I'm still single?"
"I don't mean anything else." Tiemin faltered and said, "I don't know what to say with my mouth. I'm afraid I'll mess up the matter."
Erguo nodded and said, "I believe this."
