After Breaking Off the Engagement, She Went To the Countryside and Was Pinched By a Rough Man and Pa

“Brother, let me ask you about someone.”

When the man who was about to carry the big bag heard this, he stopped what he was doing and looked back at Xia Zhi in front of him.

 The freight station is full of men, and there are no women at all.

 “Girl, who are you asking about?”

The man took advantage of this opportunity to talk, lit a cigarette, and took a break.

 “I’ll look for Xu Fangda.”

 The man raised his head seriously and looked up and down at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi was a little confused by his gaze, but she quickly reacted.

“Comrade, are you Xu Fangda?”

“I am Xu Fangda, who are you? I don’t know you. How do you know I’m here?”

Xu Fangda walked directly to the steps next to him with a cigarette in his mouth.

 Pull the steps off your shoulders, place them on the steps, and sit there directly.

“So you are Brother Xu, my surname is Xia, and my name is Xia Zhi.

 My husband is Zhou Zhengan.

 This time I came here specially to do some things. Before leaving, Zhou Zhengan left me your address and phone number.

I called him, and the old man told me that you were here, so I came over here. "

 Xu Fangda only put away the slightly cynical expression on his face when he heard this.

“Oh, it turns out to be my sister-in-law. I’m so sorry. I just thought it was someone who came to see me.”

He stood up a little embarrassed and said,

“Sister-in-law, why didn’t you say hello in advance when you came? Is there something going on?”

“We’ll have dinner soon. I’ll say hello to the boss and ask for some leave.”

Xia Zhi nodded. It happened that he couldn't explain clearly to Xu Fangda in just one or two sentences.

Xu Fangda went in and came out after a while.

 I heard cursing coming from the yard,

 “Xu Fangda, take a look at yourself.

Even though your family is very poor, you still ask for leave. I tell you, if you want to ask for leave again, you should stop doing it.

 Whether you like to do it or not, I think I care about you doing it here.

If it weren't for my dad seeing that you have nothing to do after you come back, it would be quite pitiful.

My father and son go to the vegetable market all day long to pick up rotten leaves and cook them, so they think of a way to help you, otherwise you wouldn't even have this job.

 How did you feel about it? It's such a good job, but you actually want to ask for leave. You don't know how busy this job is. "

"A poor guy can be quite temperamental all day long. Let me tell you, if you don't finish unloading the truck outside tonight, you won't be able to rest today, and you won't be able to work tomorrow."

Xu Fangda's face was a little red after the scolding was harsh. It was obvious that Xia Zhi was a little embarrassed to hear this.

 “Sister-in-law, let’s go.”

“I’m sorry, Xiao Xu, it’s all because of me that I’ve caused trouble for you today. I really have something urgent, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to come here to find you.”

Xia Zhi also felt sorry. It seemed that because of his appearance, the other party's job might be lost.

Although it has been reformed and opened up these days, everything has been liberalized, but most people are still willing to work to support their families.

The old man on the other end of the phone is probably the one of the two men that the man said he was scolding.

　　 Xu Fangda and her grandfather probably depended on each other. Although she didn’t know the family structure of the other party, she probably understood it from these words.

“It’s okay, sister-in-law, of course I know that there must be something wrong with you coming to me, it’s okay, I, Captain Zhou, am not a troublesome person.”

Xu Fangda was quite open-minded, but Xia Zhi felt even more sorry.

Xu Fangda greeted him and went directly to a small shop next to the road. It actually sold noodles. The shop was small, shabby and old.

 At first glance, you can tell that this place must be very cheap. Sure enough, Xia Zhi took a look at the menu on the wall. To be precise, it was not a menu.

 What they sell are noodles, dumplings, cakes and the like.

 They don’t sell any stir-fried vegetables either.

  It should be a small restaurant specially opened for these workers nearby. The price is quite affordable.

 A bowl of noodles costs 1 yuan 2.

To be precise, the price is not expensive. After all, it is already eight or seven years ago.

 Xu Fangda felt a little embarrassed and took out two dollars from his pocket. He saw that it was not even enough for two bowls of noodles.

Hurryly blocking the money in his hand with his body, he whispered to the boss,

“Boss, can you keep the debt for now and wait until I pay you the salary?”

 The boss was obviously an acquaintance. Seeing that he knew Xu Fangda, he nodded understandingly.

Everyone knows that Xu Fangda is poor, but everyone knows that this man is calm and values ​​​​love and justice.

 Two bowls of noodles were served, and Xu Fangda rubbed his hands.

“Sister-in-law, there’s nothing good to eat in this little place, so I can only force you to eat a bowl of noodles with me.”

I feel a little uneasy. One look at Xia Zhi's clothes and I know that Xia Zhi's life is very good and she is definitely not short of money.

People would definitely not come to eat at this kind of small restaurant on weekdays.

How much better can a bowl of noodles costing 1 yuan and 2 yuan be?

 In fact, it is noodles made from fried bean sprouts.

I am so poor that I can’t even add an egg or make egg-fried noodles.

Looking at Xia Zhi’s appearance, you will know that you definitely don’t want to eat in this kind of place.

Especially the noodles that were served, the mouth of the bowl actually had cracks.

This kind of food is relatively rough, that is, they are ordinary porters who come here to eat.

But none of the employees at the train station come here to eat.

 Afraid that Xia Zhi would dislike the humble food in front of me.

Who would have known that Xia Zhi not only didn't dislike it, but actually picked up the chopsticks directly.

"What did you say? I'm hungry too, come on, come on, eat quickly."

 Very naturally, I added some vinegar to the noodles and picked some chili oil and put it in.

Xu Fangda didn’t look at Xia Zhi as others disliked him.

 Instead, stir up all the seasonings and eat in big bites.

I felt at peace all of a sudden. It seemed that my sister-in-law and my eldest brother were the same kind of people, and I would never dislike them.

He put his worries aside and started eating immediately. He was really hungry and finished the bowl of noodles in one go, almost in a daze.

In fact, given his appetite, the bowl of noodles didn't even cover the bottom. But he had no money in his pocket, so he still owed money for these two bowls of noodles.

Even though I was still hungry, I still put the bowl aside and didn’t look away.

Xia Zhi heard a growling sound coming from his stomach, and immediately understood that the man in front of her was not full.

Xia Zhi finished the noodles in front of him, but did not help Xu Fangda ask for more noodles.

Although this man was embarrassed, he wanted to save face, otherwise he would not have just whispered to the boss about the credit issue.

 You have to respect others.

　　The two of them pushed their bowls aside after finishing their meal.

"I came to you this time for two reasons. One thing is that your eldest brother said that he asked you to borrow money when he asked me to come here just in time to pay it back.

Your brother said he lent you 200 yuan. "

Without saying a word, Xia Zhi took out 200 yuan from his pocket and pushed it directly in front of Xu Fangda. (End of chapter)
