Volume 5, Chapter 101: A good person OR a good person who is indiscriminate
It was already 12 o'clock when I came out of the office.
Although the sun shines brightly in the sky, the wind is not small, making people feel chilled, especially when they come out of the air-conditioned room, they subconsciously shivered.
Sha Zhengyang simply put on the hat behind the cotton jacket to cover most of his head, while Ji Meifu raised the collar of the tweed coat and wrapped it with a bright red scarf on the outside. The two of them walked out of the county government gate side by side.
After coming out of the county government gate, turn left, and within a hundred meters, you will turn into a secluded path, Yanyuan Lane.
This alley is very secluded and tortuous, and it is not much closer than walking on the street outside. The only benefit is that there are few people.
Suki Mifu doesn't take this path very much, especially at night, she doesn't dare to take it.
The entire alley is covered with towering red brick walls, with the old dormitory of the county government on one side and the teacher dormitory building of Zhenyang No. 1 Middle School on the other side.
It is said that before the crackdown in the 1980s, a female teacher here was raped in this alley at night. Later, the crackdown was carried out. The public security organs solved the case and arrested two criminals, one of whom was a son of a county leader. Both of them were sentenced to death and shot after being arrested.
Zhenyang No. 1 Middle School also felt that this alley was too deep and secluded and not very safe, so it simply blocked a door that was originally opened in this alley and went to the Longmen Road on the other side.
Walking into this deep and long alley, Sha Zhengyang felt that Ji Meifu had relaxed a lot in a moment. There was almost no one in the alley. The winding alley extended forward, and there was no sight at all. Occasionally, one or two pedestrians were walking in a hurry and passed by in a flash.
Previously, Ji Meifu even wrapped her entire face with a scarf, but now she pulled off the scarf and exposed half of her face.
Sha Zhengyang found it interesting.
This woman seems to be three or four years older than herself, thirty-one or two years older, but at this time she feels that her mental age seems to be just like a student who is only in her early twenties before leaving society.
"Meifu, you usually cook your own meals at home?" Sha Zhengyang had nothing to say, "I guess his skills are not bad, right?"
"I usually have to go to work, and I have a distant cousin who comes to help take care of my mother and my brother. Fortunately, she comes to help." Ji Meifu sighed, with a little more sorrow in her eyebrows. "I have to let my family rest for a few days during the Spring Festival. There is only three of us left at home. My mother's illness is sometimes better and sometimes worse, and I can't live without people. I don't have much time to go out to buy vegetables. If you want to eat something delicious, don't be too hopeful, that is, home-cooked sausages, bacon, and dumplings and dumplings."
Sha Zhengyang didn't expect that he could even get the other person so worried, which was a little embarrassed, but he didn't know how to solve this topic, so he could only smile embarrassedly: "Meifu, there is a road in front of the mountain, so you don't have to worry too much. I believe your mother's illness should be cured, and you will not be under such pressure by then."
Sha Zhengyang also heard from Xu Hongling that although he was taken care of by his relatives, he had to pay his salary, which was nothing more than just doing his best to do his best. However, for Xu Hongling's family, the extra expenses were still a bit stressful.
Xu Hongling's mother is a retired employee of the county supply and marketing cooperative. Now the situation of the county supply and marketing cooperative can be imagined. She can only talk about making a living. If there is any cost of illness and it is relatively huge, it would be a big deal.
Because of this, Ji Meifu probably didn't consider too much about treatment in the province or even Yanjing, because conditions did not allow it.
Sha Zhengyang's comfort made Ji Meifu feel much better.
She also learned a lot about Sha Zhengyang's situation from Xu Hongling. Perhaps others would not believe it when they went to top hospitals such as Yanjing Jishuitan or Union Hospital to arrange treatment. However, Sha Zhengyang's ability is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Just because he could reach this position in less than 30 years old, he knew that he must have something extraordinary.
She didn't know how Sha Zhengyang could have something to do with Yanjing, but she believed that Sha Zhengyang would not lie to herself on these issues.
"Well, I hope so, I have to thank you too."
Ji Meifu lowered her head, raised her eyes and looked at Sha Zhengyang again. Sha Zhengyang's eyes were clear and she looked straight ahead, her steps became more and more agile.
Ten minutes later, Sha Zhengyang was already sitting in the old dormitory building of the supply and marketing cooperative.
This is an old residential building. You can tell at a glance that it is the Soviet-style style of the late 1970s. The red brick building has a very unscientific structure and does not conform to the current trend. However, this is not important. A single bathroom without an independent bathroom is unacceptable, especially women.
"Mifu, are you back?" a slightly older voice asked, "Are you a guest here?"
Sha Zhengyang looked at the thin old man in front of him in surprise. He could not tell that he was only less than 60 years old. He looked like an old woman in her 70s. Sitting in a wheelchair, he could see from the other person's eyes that the other person had almost no vision. He was a little surprised.
Xu Hongling told him that Ji Meifu's mother had a sick leg and had some problems with her eyes. He thought it was a big problem. As for the eyes? Are people who are older, they have some problems with their eyes. Cataracts and glaucoma are all normal. Unexpectedly, they were blind, but they didn't seem to be completely blind.
Noting Sha Zhengyang's surprised gaze, Ji Meifu smiled faintly, "My mother has bad legs and eye problems, which have been several years."
"Sister, are you back? Huh, your friend?" Another wheelchair slipped out, and a tall but obviously bad boy looked at Sha Zhengyang with a picky and alert but mixed with anticipation.
From the other party's wide-skinned and big-faced appearance, we can see that they should be the two brothers and sisters of Ji Meifu. However, because of the long-term bedridden reason, the other party's face was a little pale, but there was still a bit of heroic spirit between his eyebrows.
"Aunt, little brother, hello, I am Mifu's colleague Sha Zhengyang." Sha Zhengyang greeted generously, and smiled and stretched out his hand to the big boy who was still a little alert.
He shook hands with Sha Zhengyang a little coldly, and Ji Yuanxing took a deep breath: "Are you my sister's colleague?"
"My brother, don't be so rude, call me Brother Sha." Ji Meifu hesitated for a moment, and still felt that it would be better to call me Brother Sha, "This is my brother, Ji Yuanxing."
She didn't want to introduce Sha Zhengyang's identity to her mother and younger brother, so as not to attract unnecessary suspicion. She had nothing in itself, so why bother herself?
"It's okay, I'll call you Yuanxing. You can call me Brother Sha or Brother Zhengyang. I guess I should be a few years older than you." Sha Zhengyang estimated that Ji Yuanxing should be three or four years younger than him, and seven or eight years younger than Ji Meifu.
When I heard that it was my daughter's colleague, the old woman felt a little sad. She probably felt that since she was a colleague, she was afraid she had known her daughter for a long time and had not developed anything with her daughter for so many years. Most of the time, it seemed that she was hopeless, so she also had some expectations.
"I am Meifu's friend. Welcome to visit. Meifu, please welcome guests. Go far away, go get fruit." The old woman was very enthusiastic.
"No need, aunt, I will do it myself." How could Sha Zhengyang let two bad people come to entertain him? Under Ji Meifu's gaze, he picked up an apple and chewed it on his own, "I will do it myself."
Seeing that Sha Zhengyang had not even washed his skin and had his skin chewed, Ji Meifu couldn't help laughing and smiled with her lips, "Mom, little brother, okay, don't be busy, I'm going to cook. This guy can't find food for the New Year, so he's here to have a free meal."
"Oh? Xiao Sha isn't our Zhenyang people?" The old woman was very concerned about Sha Zhengyang's personal problems. When she heard that she had no food to eat, she felt more at ease. This means that the other party is single, and it's good to be single.
"Uh, aunt, my hometown is from Handu." Sha Zhengyang replied: "I'm going to work here."
"Okay, mom, we're going to cook, he needs help." Knowing that Sha Zhengyang would definitely be asked by his mother for a long time if he stayed outside, so he simply called Sha Zhengyang to take action for him.
Sha Zhengyang didn't care, but since Ji Meifu met, he naturally followed him.
The kitchen of this old-fashioned house is very narrow, and it is almost the limit to accommodate two people. Moreover, if they want to pass by, they have to sideways, even so, they have to be close to their bodies.
Su Ri'an Sha Zhengyang has excellent cooking skills, but he also knows that this is not the time to show off himself. He just helped Ji Meifu wash the carrots in a regular manner. It seems that he wants to make three-scroll cold dishes.
It can be seen that Ji Meifu should have cooked frequently. The sausages and bacon that had been cooked long ago quickly turned into neat and orderly stacks of dishes under her hands, put them on a plate, and then the three-spark cold-sauce quickly formed on her hands. Even Sha Zhengyang felt that this woman was indeed a bit like a living room in the kitchen.
There is not much to say about eating. With Ji Meifu's mother and younger brother, the two of them didn't even say much about work. It was not until Ji Meifu accompanied Sha Zhengyang from home and embarked on the way to the county government that this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere revolved between them again.
"I see that my aunt's eyes should be treated, at least part of them should be restored." Sha Zhengyang encouraged Ji Meifu in a very affirmative tone. "I feel that my aunt's eyes are a bit like the disease premacular membrane of an elder who is an acquaintance. This disease can be treated with surgery or traditional Chinese medicine, and it should be better for better results."
