Wu Zhenqing lost his "job" and had to find a job.He asked a comrade-in-arms who was a worker in the factory to make iron hooks for him and a length of nylon rope to make a living pulling carts uphill on the steep slope of the road.It's not easy to do this job!When he went to get hooks and ropes from his friends, he ran into the director of the small dilapidated factory and insisted, "It's a good socialist building, but it's full of holes and crumbling for people like you who ruin public welfare and selfishness"!To confiscate.Wu Zhenqing was afraid that he would hurt his buddy who worked here, so he prepared to hand it over, but the buddy got angry and said, "Wu Zhenqing, if you give it to him today, we won't know you from now on!"

How many people came to intercede, saying that he was an educated youth who returned to the city, and he was just pulling carts to earn money for a living, but they couldn't impress the factory manager.The workers all got angry, and his buddies scolded the factory manager: "How much money did you spend on treating guests for a year? How much public money did you spend on traveling with your wife and children?" It was a big deal, and finally took these two pieces of "dining furniture" and left.But the roads are full of motor vehicles, and there are no rickshaws, so I can't do a job for a long time.

Later, he saw a truck pulling vegetables in a small restaurant by the roadside. Two people were repairing the truck. , Then he said to the two people: "Two masters, just go to eat, if you let me try, maybe I can repair it for you, if it is repaired, give me a meal, how about it?" The man asked him how much a meal cost, and Wu Zhenqing said that ten yuan less would not work.What if it can't be repaired?Wu Zhenqing said, count me busy. The owner of the car said that if the car can really be repaired, an extra ten yuan will be added.When those two were full of wine and food, Wu Zhenqing also tinkered with the car.But once the car was able to move, the owner refused to admit it, and threw ten yuan to Wu Zhenqing to settle the matter.Wu Zhenqing asked a few more questions, and the owner of the car gave him another 1 yuan in a show of generosity.

Despite hesitating for a while, Wu Zhenqing took the money, and the person in the car said before leaving: "Give him the few leftover buns, anyway, if you don't eat them on the road, you have to throw them away!" After hesitating, Wu Zhenqing took the money again. up.After the car drove away, Wu Zhenqing opened the plastic bag, took out the steamed stuffed bun, and devoured it hungrily. He ate and ate like he was choking, covered his face with sobs and began to cry. That night, when Wu Zhenqing came home, he saw Han Debao riding a bicycle, waiting for him outside the gate. When he came back, Han Debao went up to meet him: "You don't have a job, where did you go? Let me wait for you two more." Hour!"

Wu Zhenqing said: "Not having a job does not mean that there is no need to eat..." Han Debao found the rope and hook in his hand and asked, "Did you pull the hook?" Wu Zhenqing nodded and said: "There are fewer trolleys now, and I didn't pull them when I went shopping in the suburbs..." Han Debao took the rope and hook from his hand, looked at it, and said, "Don't take it home, it will be sad for uncles and aunts to see it." He put these things in his pocket and said, "I found a copy for you. Work." Wu Zhenqing didn't believe it: "Really?"

Han Debao said: "I'm in charge of the security area. The neighborhood committee needs to find someone who can help the residents change their gas. As soon as I heard about it, I immediately hired someone for you. They are all building residents, and the general physique really can't do it." Wu Zhenqing asked, "How much is it per month?" Han Debao replied: "One hundred. Don't think it's too little, you do it first. If they are satisfied, I will find a chance to speak for you. Maybe I can increase it to one hundred and fifty in the future." Wu Zhenqing felt ashamed: "Fortunately, among us, you are doing well and can take care of you..."

Han Debao said: "What's the matter, what are you talking about! If you agree, don't enter the house. Now I will take you to pick it up." Wu Zhenqing said sadly, "I'm thirty years old and I don't have a home of my own yet. Let's go..." Han Debao pushed the cart parallel to him.Wu Zhenqing remembered something, stopped and said, "It's broken! I can't go with you today. I made an appointment with Hao Mei. At four o'clock in the afternoon, I will take their mother and daughter to meet Xiao Song's mother." Han Debao pushed him: "Come on. You don't need to worry about these things, I will take care of you."

Han Debao was really warm-hearted. He took Wu Zhenqing to meet up with the neighborhood committee, and then returned to Wang Xiaosong's house. Xiao Song's mother was quietly knitting a sweater, like a Buddha sitting and counting beads.Han Debao pushes the door and enters. He holds Hao Mei's daughter in his arms, and Hao Mei follows him. Han Debao called out: "Ma'am, I see you are here." Mother said: "Is it Debao?" "It's me, ma'am, I brought the person you miss often..." Mother was startled: "Hao Mei? Hao Mei, where are you?" She stretched out her hands to search...

Han Debao put down Yunyun, and gently pushed Hao Mei to the Queen Mother. Hao Mei held out her hands to her mother.The mother grabbed Hao Mei's hands and stood up: "Hao Mei, child, is that you?" Mother's hands touched Hao Mei's face: "Son, auntie misses you! auntie knows you can't speak anymore, but... how much I want to hear you call me auntie!" Hao Mei had mixed feelings, and burst into tears. Crying against my mother's chest... Mother hugged Hao Mei and cried...Han Debao exited the house and stood outside the door smoking... Yunyun sat on the edge of the bed, solemnly staring at her young mother and an old mother who was a commoner in the city, hugging each other and weeping, as if she had experienced the vicissitudes of life...
