Chapter 3 third chapter

Two months later, he left the hospital on a wooden crutch.The two-month hospitalization fee plus the medicine fee almost depleted the savings of the old couple for many years.With a glimmer of fantasy, he took the reimbursement receipt and walked to the factory on crutches.The gate of the factory was closed, and it was as quiet as a mausoleum.For the first time, he felt dissatisfied, so he swung his wooden crutches, knocked on the big iron gate, and yelled loudly.There was a hollow sound from the iron gate, like a dog barking in the middle of the night.It was the old Qin who poked his head out of the gatehouse and greeted him through the iron gate: "Master Ding, is that you?"

"Where's the factory manager? I want to see the factory manager." Lao Qin shook his head, smiled wryly, and said nothing. Lu Xiaohu gave him advice: "Master, in my opinion, you go to sit in front of the government to demonstrate, or set yourself on fire!" "What did you say?" "Of course I don't really want you to set yourself on fire," Lu Xiaohu said with a smile, "Go and scare them, they love to save face." "What's your idea?" he said, "You're asking the master to play dead dogs!" "At this time, there is only one way to play dead dog. Master, you are old and can't compare with us. We are young and powerful. We can support our family by doing anything. You can only rely on the government."

He didn't go to sit-in or set himself on fire, but he walked to the gate of the city hall on crutches.Guards in dark blue uniforms stopped him. "I want to see Deputy Mayor Ma," he said, "I want to see Deputy Mayor Ma" The guard looked at him coldly without saying a word.But when he wanted to move into the gate, the guard stopped him unceremoniously.He struggled and shouted: "I want to see Deputy Mayor Ma, he has an appointment with me first!" The guard pushed his body out annoyed, causing him to back up repeatedly, and he sat on the ground.He could have stood up, but he didn't.He felt very sad, and wanted to cry, and when he wanted to cry, he began to cry.At first she cried silently, but then she made a sound as she cried.The idlers on the road gathered together, silently watching him.He felt a little shy and wanted to get up and leave, but it was even more shy to leave like this.So he closed his eyes and cried loudly.He heard Lu Xiaohu's loud voice resounding in the crowd.Lu Xiaohu introduced his identity and his past glory to everyone, and then complained, even incited.He felt something hard hit his thigh, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a one-yuan coin rolling on the concrete floor.Then some coins and banknotes fell in front of him and behind him.

A team of security guards came running from nowhere, and their neat footsteps sounded like the crackling of pneumatic hammers in an agricultural machinery repair factory.The security guards brandished batons to disperse the crowd, but they refused to disperse, resulting in disputes and pushing and shoving.He felt ashamed at the sight of those legs and feet moving backwards and forwards, and at the noise of the noise.He felt that he couldn't sit here no matter what. Just as he was about to get up, three well-dressed men hurried out of the government building.Two well-mannered youths are in front, and a middle-aged man with thin skin and tender flesh is behind.Their steps were a little light, as if they were going against the strong wind.When they got near the gate, the two young men retreated to both sides, letting the middle-aged man to the front.Their movements are neat and skillful, and it is obvious that they have been trained for a long time.The middle-aged man raised his hand and waved, shouting loudly to dismiss the security guard, just like a wise parent scolds his son with a straight face when dealing with a fight between his son and the neighbor's children.The middle-aged man then gently persuades the crowd to leave.Lu Xiaohu pushed forward and told the middle-aged man.The middle-aged man bent down and said to him: "Uncle, Deputy Mayor Ma has gone to the provincial meeting. I am Deputy Director Wu of the government office. If you have anything to do, please tell me!"

He looked up at Deputy Director Wu's friendly face, his throat was so choked that he couldn't speak.Deputy Director Wu said, "Uncle, go to my office and speak slowly." Deputy Director Wu winked at the two young men, and the young men came forward, took him by one arm each, and raised him up.They carried him to the building, and Deputy Director Wu followed behind, dragging his crutches. Amidst the hissing sound of the air conditioner, he took a sip of the hot water that Deputy Director Wu personally poured for him, and his choked throat slowly opened.He told of his pain and difficulties, and then pulled out his handful of reimbursement receipts.Deputy Director Wu said a lot of reasonable things, then took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket, and said, "Master Ding, take the receipt back first, and when Deputy Mayor Ma comes back from the meeting, I will report your situation to him." , this is my one hundred yuan, you take it first."

He stood up on crutches and said, "Director Wu, you are a good man, thank you very much." He bowed deeply to Deputy Director Wu, "but I can't ask for your money!"
