Chapter 26 Section 25

It's hard to say what the god of memory should look like.It's hard to tell when it's coming and when it's going to go.It's hard to tell whether it filters dust or gold.This statement is too written, and it should be expressed verbally: there is no debt in the world that cannot be waived, as long as you want to, there is always a way to soar into the sky. After the beginning of spring, Yang Chi went on a business trip, first to Xinjiang, then to the Northeast, and then according to Minister Bao's instructions, he continued to stay in Huashui County to collect debts, otherwise he would not come back.At that time, Yang Chi already had a very high status in the sales department, and most people dared not provoke him, but because he became a celebrity, Minister Bao needed to suppress him so that his tail would not be too high.Huashui County is Lao Yang's Waterloo and Minister Bao's Shangganling.

Dai Dai continued to live in Lao Yang's house, and sometimes went back to the orphanage, and sometimes Xiao Su and I took her to play.Meanwhile, Xiao Su left Daicheng to interview for a job in Beijing.Because I had no money with me, I could only stay in a daze with my children, unable to go anywhere. One day at Lao Yang's house, Dai Dai asked me: "Why don't you go to work?" This question was too complicated, so I told her the whole story and analyzed the reasons why I couldn't find a job.Of course she couldn't understand, but I really couldn't find anyone else to talk to.After I finished speaking, I asked her, "Do you understand?" Dai Dai said, "Understood."

"Do you really understand?" "Yeah." She nodded confidently. I said, "You're so smart, I wish my daughter could be as smart as you. I hope I've found a job by then." Dai Dai said, "Do you not like your daughter?" I said, "No, I will love her as much as I love you." She was stunned for a while, then said, "Oh, don't think so much." It was in the tone of an adult.After a while she said again: "Yesterday I saw that Xiao Li upstairs had her birthday and she ate a big cake." It was actually the day before yesterday. Children have no concept of time and classify all recent and past events as "yesterday".I said, "Hey, do you remember when your birthday is?"

"forgotten." "It's okay, it's your birthday, you can just pick a day. When your father Yang and Su come back, we will celebrate your birthday and eat a big cake for you." "Okay." Dai Dai asked again, "What is a constellation?" "There are twelve constellations, and there is one constellation in almost a month. For example, I was born in December, and I am a Sagittarius. Your father Yang was born in October, and he is a Libra, and Su's father is a Scorpio." "And me?" "I don't know either." I said, "You can't just make it up, because the constellation is related to a person's personality. If you make it up, you will get confused in the future."

"You help me make one up." "I can't really make it up, and I don't really understand it." "I want all the three constellations you mentioned, is that okay?" "Yes, no problem, I will give you all. You are so good, I love you very much." I said, "Let's go to Daicheng Paradise together, but I have no money, so I can only take you to see the roller coaster and the Ferris wheel. " Before we went out, we received a call from Yang Chi, who sounded like he was about to die.After listening for a while, I felt that the situation was serious, so I handed the phone to Yang Chi's father.The old man was also stupid when he heard it.

It's like this: Yang Chi is currently collecting debts in Huaishui County, but he didn't get it. He planned to sneak back after biting a few flea bags on his stomach, but unexpectedly he developed a fever, which reached forty degrees.Yang Chi called the sales department and asked them to find someone to replace him. He also took care of himself. He could no longer tell the difference between east, west, south, and north.Minister Bao answered the phone and said, if every salesman was so fragile, he would still be selling pesticides.Lao Yang didn't know what to do, so he called home and asked someone to pick him up. Now he is lying in the hotel and dying.

Yang Chi's father asked me to discuss it, and I said no problem, I will go to Huaishui County to get Lao Yang back, and the factory will pay for the train ticket.Yang Chi's father said, I don't have to worry about the travel expenses, and the family can afford it. The key is to get back safely. Besides, there is no train in that place, so take a long-distance bus. I tidied myself up, put on my backpack, and thought about the bad security in that area, so I ran to Lao Yang’s house to find his watermelon knife, intending to take it with me, but when I couldn’t find it, I fished out a rusty ax from under his bed and swung it. After a while, I found that it was fine, not loose at all.I stuffed the ax into my backpack, took some medicine, said goodbye to Dai Dai, and went out.My mother said: "I will burn incense at home, Guanyin Bodhisattva will bless you all." I said that we each believe in our own, and Guanyin may not be able to take care of this errand, so I went to the newly built Guandi Temple in the east of the city to burn incense.

When I got on the long-distance bus, I suddenly felt a little regretful. I didn’t do it smartly. The best way is to go to Minister Bao with an axe and ask him to send a special car to pick up Lao Yang. Any mistakes are considered work-related injuries. .This is the way to deal with state-owned enterprises. The car drove out of Daicheng, the sky was overcast, and it was overcast all the way to Huaishui County.In the car, I saw many hammers and axes, all of them were masons in the countryside.It turned out that Huaishui County was rich in masons, who went to the city to work, and returned to their hometown in spring to transplant rice seedlings.They all had putty on their faces and dust in their hair, but they looked pretty good, obviously earning money in the city.The scenery along the way was monotonous. I took out a magazine and read a few pages. As the car bumped, the words in the book jumped up and down like beans.I closed the magazine and simply chatted with someone.

Those bricklayers told me that Huaishui County is a very good place, with mountains and water, and rich products, especially duck and dried tofu.I have been to some counties, and to put it bluntly, almost every county has duck and dried tofu, which is called "broad spectrum" in a special term for pesticides.Anyway, the farmers eat dried tofu after eating the ducks, and ducks after eating the dried tofu.Later, a rather humorous bricklayer said that the real specialty of Huaishui County is us people, we bricklayers, we sell ourselves to make the most money.Everyone in the car laughed.

I said: "I have a friend who sells pesticides at your place. You have a lot of crops, right? You used to be farmers, right?" The bricklayers said: Boss, don't talk nonsense. Even in the countryside, bricklayers are very high-end Occupation, we don't farm the land, at least not all the time.Farming is the poorest, beating his mother, farming on hills, making cattle and horses. I raised my eyebrows and said, "Our city people don't even have a piece of land after being laid off. Isn't it easy to farm? Throw a sweet potato in the field, and it will grow by itself. When you're hungry, go dig some sweet potato in the field to eat."

The bricklayers yelled together: "His mother, is this an African farmer?"You underestimate farmers, farming is a very serious matter. I said: "Look, I didn't admit that I was a farmer just now. I was talking about farming, but I didn't talk about building houses. What are you bricklayers in a hurry? Beat his mother." In the car, I also met a female college student from Huashui County who was studying law at Daicheng University. She was a little unhappy and said, "Chinese are all farmers. Don't think you are not. Thump." I don't like bricklayers, so I took the opportunity to chat with her again to relieve the worries of the journey.The long-distance bus drove into Huaishui County in the evening. There are many minibuses at the bus station in the county seat. This is a small transportation hub, transporting passengers to various villages and towns.I said to the female college student, "Where are you going?" She said, "My home is in the county seat, and I can go back with a motorcycle." I said, "So you are not a farmer, you are from the county seat." She said: " Oh, the division is quite clear, unlike the people in the city, who don’t know the difference between the county seat and the village.” I said, “My family used to be a landlord, and they used to be very powerful in this neighborhood, but they were suppressed later. I’m gone, I’m living in the city, and the land and my wife are all given to you. I’ll beat you.” The female college student laughed and said, “Go to hell.” Then she left me and left. I jumped on a motorcycle, followed the address given to me by Lao Yang, and arrived at the door of the hotel in 20 seconds, my hair standing on end in the wind.I said to the car owner, "Don't drive so fast in the future." The car owner said, "I'm going home for dinner." I said, "Okay, remember to wear a helmet from now on." The car owner said, "There's no traffic police here, boss. "I had nothing to say, so I paid the fare, went into the hotel and asked, there really was someone like Yang Chi.I asked the waiter to knock on the door, but there was no movement inside, and the door was locked.I kicked the door open, and a sour smell came over my face like a ghost that had been locked up in the room all year round, making me stagger a bit, and then I saw Lao Yang in the dim place, he was still alive, shrunk into a The regiment is moaning.When I touched my forehead, I had a high fever. I went out to make a phone call, first told my family that he had been found, and then called Lu Xiaojuan.Xiaojuan said on the phone: "In this case, take him to the hospital in the county to get some water first, and the fever will go away faster. Don't take medicine casually, follow the doctor's advice. It's not that the county can't cure the disease, so what are you doing? Silly, don't come out to meet people after your brain is burnt out." I didn't dare to delay, I picked up Lao Yang and went out of the hotel, and found that he couldn't ride a motorcycle in this state. After waiting for a long time, I saw a tricycle passing by, stopped, got on the car together, and went to the county hospital for emergency treatment. It was the flu, and without a word, I gave four bottles of medicine and inserted it into the blood vessel.Lao Yang gradually woke up while lying on the hospital bed. "Minister Bao, I'll beat his mother," Yang Chi said. "That's right, the swearing is all in a local accent." Yang Chi said that the flu came quickly, and he thought he could handle it, but unexpectedly he fell down.In addition, this debt-debt company has become a mess to a certain extent. A few days ago, it promised to give him the money, but suddenly said that it had no money.A debt of 100,000 yuan is not a large amount, and it makes people turn their backs. I really don't know why.Minister Bao's cronies called the company every day to find out if Yang Chi was asking for debts.This bastard company is actually very cooperative with Minister Bao, reporting Yang Chi's attendance status accurately every time. "You should be nice to Minister Bao and flatter him. When I was in the factory before, I saw the workshop managers nodded and bowed." I said, "I don't want to talk about anything else. You can pay 100,000 yuan this time." Can I have it?" "Let me figure it out." We stayed in the emergency room until midnight. In order to keep out the cold, we each lit a cigarette and smoked, and the county hospital was ignored.It's a very free place.After hanging the potion, we left. There was no transportation in the middle of the night, and it was drizzling when we went out.It was extremely cold outside, and the moisture in the air easily penetrated the clothes.Raise your head three feet, the street lamps illuminate the bright white rain, and the surroundings are rustling.We walked on the road in the rain, walked a few steps and entered the dark place. Looking back at the lights of the emergency department, it looked strange and gloomy. We moved back to the hotel, and the waiter raised his swollen face from the counter. I paid the room fee for one night, and asked for another quilt and pillow, and slept on the empty bunk opposite Lao Yang.There is no heating in Huaishui County, and the small hotels in the 1990s did not have air conditioning.I got some warm water, poured it into a plastic basin, let Yang Chi wash his feet first, and then washed my feet.After soaking for a long time, I felt a little warmer, and when I looked up, I found that Lao Yang had fallen asleep.
Zhu Kang agreed to wait for Lao Yang in Huaishui County, and vowed to get the 100,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, this idiot ran away and went to Hainan Island to sunbathe.Zhu Kang is now a well-known mold star in the pesticide factory, and his sales target has never been fulfilled. Whenever he goes to a county, the pesticide market in that county will immediately fall to his competitors.Lao Yang also had a selfish intention to take over the markets that Zhu Kang was in charge of, so he had to settle the bad debts in Huaishui County first. This company is very difficult to deal with, it is not bad for a thousand years, and it will not be paid back in ten thousand years.Lao Yang sat on the company's bench all day long, begging for money with a smile. He laughed for half a month, but he didn't even see the boss' hair. There was only an accountant who looked like a widow, and said with a sad face that he didn't get his salary. , asked Lao Yang to help her find the boss together. "I don't believe this kind of nonsense," I said, "the accountants are the boss's cronies." "The hateful thing is, she said that the dried tofu in the county is delicious, and I spent money to buy dried tofu for her to eat. After eating, she said that the specialty of the county is duck. I was confused at first, thinking that she was looking for A male prostitute, later I found out that it was really a duck, so I bought her a duck, but she said it was not tasty, not authentic, and wanted to eat a braised duck. Where can I find her a braised duck?" "You didn't post it upside down yourself?" I said. "Maybe she wanted you." "Fart." Yang Chi said, "Since you fucking sold pornography, you've been preoccupied with it all year. Seriously, if I don't get my money back, I'll have a hard time." I pulled my rusty ax out of my bag and said, "Going to wreak havoc now?" "This can only scare the children. I told you earlier that debtors are not afraid of anything except that you won't beat them." Yang Chi said, "I've already made up my mind, you will go with me, but you have to stand up." Hold on, no matter what happens, you have to hold on. This is a psychological war, whoever is ruthless wins, understand?" "I've always been crueler than you. I'm a scum, you've already said that." "I'm with you, let's compare each other!" Yang Chi shouted, patting himself on the head. In the afternoon of the next day, Lao Yang's fever came up again. I measured him with the thermometer I bought, and it came out to thirty-nine degrees.This is easy to handle. The company is very close to the hotel, so we walked there.When he was about to reach the entrance of the company, Lao Yang stretched his fingers and messed up his hair, and then pulled some wall plaster on his lips to make it pale. Then he lay on my back, and I carried him to the office. At the door of the company, he kicked the door open and broke in.Several people inside jumped up in fright.I followed Lao Yang's prior arrangement and threw him directly on the ground.Now, my dear Yang Chi is lying upright under the eyes of everyone, as if he is already dead. When I put him down, I realized that Lao Yang was more cruel than me. Those are floor tiles, similar to an ice bed. How does it feel to lie on them?I couldn't help admiring his self-discipline, and also gained a deeper understanding of the situation. If you don't push yourself, you will never be able to lie down. I looked around, it wasn't a big company, it didn't even have a sofa, it was all chairs and stools.Now that Yang Chi is sitting on a chair, he's going to wear clothes, so let's lie down on the ground.The group of people said loudly: "Isn't this Xiao Yang from the pesticide factory? What's the matter? I haven't been here for a few days. How did you become like this?" I said in a rough voice: "Flu, fever, and dying." They gathered around, Trying to lift Yang Chi up.I said: "Don't touch it, if you touch it, it will be yours if you die." The group stopped immediately and looked at the accountant in the financial room together. The accountant came over, and just as Yang Chi described, she looked like a widow, but she was not a widow who was juicy, but a widow who was ugly and ugly, and could kill men to death.She said, "Oh, hurry to the hospital." I showed her the medical record card from the previous day. "I've been to the hospital, and the water was hung. I spent more than 1,000 yuan to cure it, so I can only bring you here." "Who are you?" "I'm his colleague, and I'm also in the pesticide factory." I pretended not to care and said, "The factory said that if the money owed by your company cannot be recovered, he will have to stay here. I can't help it. I can only leave him here, you can decide whether you want to die or live. I have to go to another county, goodbye." I looked at Yang Chi on the ground, he was still motionless, I don't know if he was pretending or really passed out.The widow accountant knelt down, touched his face, and nodded, acknowledging that he had a fever.In order to see this action, I hesitated for two seconds.The widow accountant raised her head and said, "Stop making trouble. You won't be able to pay for it like this. It's better to take him to the hospital first. This kid is a good person. It's a pity if his brain burns out." I said, "No, if your company pays back the money, I'll take him away, or he'll just lie here." The widow accountant said, "You're pretty good at pretending, so go." I saw that she was difficult to deal with, with a suspicious gleam in her sly little eyes, and she knew from the beginning that I was blackmailing.The problem is, what I blackmailed was the debt she was supposed to pay back.The idea made me a little more excited and more involved.I said: "You have to know, it's not easy for us salesmen. We have to work hard in addition to running errands while holding other people's jobs. A salesman in our factory committed suicide by lying on the track to collect debts. Don't think I can't do it. I Just go, and Xiao Yang will leave it to you." The widow accountant looked at me, meaning why are you still not leaving.I made up my mind, took Lao Yang as a dustpan, turned my face and left.The widow accountant stopped me and said, "I really want to go. It's not good to leave it here, so let's carry it back first." I said, "It's fine to take it home, write a check, and pay back the money." The widow accountant let go and said, "Then you'd better go." I thought to myself that you are bad enough, play games with me.If I could hear her heart, she must be scolding me for being cruel enough to throw a feverish colleague on the ground to collect debts, but this was not my idea, it was Lao Yang who asked me to do this.I said: "I'm really leaving, don't pull me anymore, whoever pulls me is a puppy." Looking at Yang Chi on the ground, he was motionless, as if he had stopped breathing.No wonder people say that the most difficult thing to act in a movie is a dead body.The last scene was not planned in the script. I pointed to them and said, "Hurry up and send him to the hospital. If he really dies here, I will kill you all." After staying for a while, I really got exposed, so I walked out without hesitation, went to the street and lit a cigarette for myself, took a breath, and when I turned around, I saw the widow accountant watching me off. It’s not worth the 100,000 yuan to fight the psychological warfare to this extent. block.In order to show that I was relaxed and indifferent, I bought a pancake on the side of the street, gnawed on it and walked far away, until I reached the corner without looking back. All of the above was taught by Lao Yang, but he didn’t say what to do next, and he didn’t say that there are floor tiles. After putting him on the ground, should I go to have a good meal or go back to the hotel sleep?How am I supposed to go back to work if he actually freezes to death on the floor tiles?I hope he is still pretending to pass out, not really passed out... With this in mind, I stood on the side of the street eating pancakes, the cigarette still smoking between my right fingers.I thought to myself, forget it, after the cake is eaten, I will go back and set up Lao Yang and continue to fetch water. Then when I turned around and saw the widow accountant behind me, I was startled and followed without touching the ground. "Come with me," she said, her voice as hard as a hard pie, but at the same time you know it's filling. Back at the company, I saw Lao Yang being carried to three chairs that were put together, with his calves hanging down and his breath winding.Someone put a cold towel on his forehead, and he didn't move. "Follow me in," said the widow accountant. We walked around the desk and walked to the corridor where the financial office is located. The door diagonally opposite was ajar. The widowed accountant said, "The boss is looking for you, and the boss is inside." I walked in anxiously, thinking that there would never be such a cheap thing in the world, one hundred thousand yuan is on the table right now?impossible.That ghostly place was quite luxurious, with a picture of a pine and crane saying "Gong Xi Fa Cai" hanging on the pale whitewashed walls, set in an aluminum alloy frame, and the color was vulgar.There are two large single sofas, made of black artificial leather, and a large glass ashtray full of cigarette butts is placed on the coffee table.Opposite was a huge and heavy desk, like a coffin, and a fat man sat behind it. He was the boss, and he was on the phone.I sat on the sofa, crossed my legs, and waited for a while.He put down the phone and looked at me with a smile. "The pesticide factory called just now. Beat his mother." The fat boss said, "It seems that the pesticide factory doesn't have you." I thought to myself that this pesticide factory was too fucked up, so I came to inspect the post at this time, so I could only bite the bullet and say: "You don't care about this too much, as long as you have Yang Chi." The fat boss said: "Show me the ID card." "No." "You just said you were going to kill me. I want to make sure you are not a local." He said, "If you are a local and you provoke me like this, you will die. Understand?" I thought about it, took out my ID card to show him, and reminded him by the way: "Yang Chi and I live in the same building, we have known each other since we were young, do you understand that my childhood is his, and his is mine." The fat boss suddenly became serious, and said loudly: "This is not your business, understand? This is the business of the pesticide factory and me. I only let you in because of your face. What right do you have to challenge me?" I was also angry , I took back my ID card, and told him loudly: "Hit his mother, I won't act anymore, I'll take Yang Chi to the hospital right away, and when we come back, we'll bet our lives against you." The fat boss said, "I don't believe it. This is not your family’s money, but the factory’s money!” I lay down on the table trying to bite him, and shouted: “When I cut you off, you will know that your life does not belong to our family, it is Your own!" The fat boss yelled, "Come here!" There was chaos outside, and it was not people from the company who rushed in, but Lao Yang.His eyes were protruding, his face glowed dark red like coal fire, and he yelled at the fat boss: "I major in chemical engineering, and I can make petrol bombs! I can make petrol bombs!" Then he fell straight on the sofa Come on, this time I really fainted.
