Jiang Yisheng drove me and Wu Julan to the vegetable market outside Mazu Street. Cars can't drive in the road above, you have to walk. I can walk a few steps with the injury on my leg, but it is definitely unrealistic to walk home.
Jiang Yisheng got out of the car and opened the car door for me, but he didn't speak for a long time. He was worried about how to send me home, and he probably had to carry me on his back.
I also found the problem in front of me, looking at the winding Mazu Street, frowning and thinking.
Wu Julan walked to the car door without saying a word, bent down, put one arm around my back, and put the other under my curled knees, and easily carried me out of the car, saying calmly: "Let's go."
Jiang Yisheng's eyes widened.
I blushed and said in a low voice, "Put me down"
Wu Julan asked: "What's the matter, I don't feel comfortable hugging?"
"No."
"No, let's go"
I whispered: "This is not appropriate, many people are watching."
While striding forward, Wu Julan said calmly, "This is how I carried you down before, and there were many people watching."
For this kind of person who makes it clear that he doesn't understand what "doing things in a hurry" means, I feel very powerless and can only shut up.
When he hugged me for the first time, I couldn't see, my whole body hurt, and I didn't think much about it. But now that I was conscious, I realized that this was the first time in my life that I had such intimate physical contact with a man. My heart was beating so hard that I doubted Wu Julan could hear it.
Before I got home, I saw two policemen standing at the door, and a few warm-hearted neighbors watching the excitement.
I immediately struggled and said, "Put me down."
Wu Julan ignored me, and kept carrying me into the yard before putting me down.
Under the scorching gaze of the police and neighbors, I didn't even dare to lift my head. Thanks to Jiang Yisheng, he immediately introduced Wu Julan's identity as "cousin" to everyone, and emphasized the injury on my leg.
The injury on my leg looked scary, and the neighbors nodded in understanding, and I finally calmed down.
I asked the police to sit in the living room, and the neighbors who were watching were standing in the yard, chattering in low voices.
I said politely to the policeman, "I'll go up and change, and I'll come down right away."
A neighbor aunt who watched me grow up supported me and walked upstairs slowly. She helped me take off the nurse's uniform and changed into a loose home skirt. Only then did I feel at ease all over my body.
I sat opposite the police and told the police what happened in detail. Unfortunately, I didn't see the robber's face at all, and the motorcycle didn't have a license plate number, which was of little help in tracking down the criminal. The man I wrapped seemed to have a black mole on his wrist.
The police said that they would do their best to investigate, but they also revealed that this kind of case is usually a roving crime. It is very likely that they have left the island at this moment, and it will be difficult to recover their property.
I had expected this result a long time ago, so naturally I didn't overreact.
Seeing that they had asked all they could ask, the police stood up and said goodbye. After Jiang Yisheng sent the police away, he also sent the neighbors away.
Jiang Yisheng walked into the living room, sat down opposite me, and asked, "How much money do you have left?"
"More than forty thousand."
Jiang Yisheng said angrily: "Damn thief, if I catch him, I must break his hand."
Jiang Yisheng went to medical school in Beijing, and he knew very well that for a foreigner like me, Beijing is not easy to live in, and food, clothing, housing and transportation all cost money. I am a young girl who has just started working. My salary is only seven or eight thousand before tax. I can save more than a hundred thousand in three and a half years. .
I smiled, and in turn persuaded him, "If you lose money to avoid disaster, just lose it." When the money was first robbed, I risked my life to get it back, but when I saw the doctor stitching myself, I remembered that I had heard it before. I suddenly figured out what happened to the car robbery that killed people, and even regretted it. No matter how important money is, it is not as important as life. If you encounter this kind of robbery again in the future, you must immediately give up your money to save your life.
Jiang Yisheng saw that I was not trying to force a smile on my face, but that I was genuinely open to it, and said angrily, "You have a big heart."
I said with a smile: "The biggest advantage of people like us is that we have a big heart." It is already unfortunate enough to encounter unfortunate things. If you can't think about it, it is purely torturing yourself. Neither I nor Jiang Yisheng are like this.
Jiang Yisheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled relievedly, "I'll lend you how much you need for the decoration, but I can only get 50,000 out."
I thought for a while and said, "I don't know when I will be able to pay it back. You just need to give me 20,000 yuan. If there is too much, I will be under too much pressure."
"Okay." Jiang Yisheng knew his situation and my character, so he didn't persuade me much. He suddenly remembered something, and tentatively said: "The big head is a rich man now."
I smiled and didn't answer his words, Jiang Yisheng understood. He said to Wu Julan, who was sitting by the side, who had not spoken a word: "Cousin Wu, I will trouble you to take care of Xiaoluo. If you need anything, you can call me anytime." He took out his mobile phone, "Let's exchange phone numbers, Easy to contact."
Wu Julan said, "I haven't."
Jiang Yisheng was stunned.
I hurriedly said: "My cousin lost his mobile phone on the road. I planned to buy it, but I didn't take care of it. Now I have lost my mobile phone. You can help me buy a mobile phone and come back. My ID card is in my wallet, so I lost it too." Yes. Help me find a way to get back my phone number first."
"Okay, Cousin Wu, give me your ID card, and I'll help you with your cell phone."
Wu Julan looked at me silently, my heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly realized that my completely inexperienced boss had never asked him for an ID card. For a while, I was so upset that I didn't have time to think about it, so I dealt with Jiang Yisheng first, "No need, just take care of me."
"You have a good rest, I'll come back later." Jiang Yisheng left in a hurry and went to work.
In the room, only Wu Julan and I were left, and I hesitated how to speak. As far as the employment relationship is concerned, it is normal for me to ask to see his ID card, but among friends, it is very weird to ask to see his ID card. I don't know when, I have regarded him as a friend of equal status.
Wu Julan broke the silence and said, "If you want to ask me for an ID card, I don't have one." His expression was very calm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.
The strange thing is that I seem to have been mentally prepared for it, not surprised, but very disappointed, although I don't know what I am disappointed or what I am missing. I've been thinking a lot,
Planned childbirth, black households who did not register after birth; smugglers, smugglers who came to Vietnam and the Philippines before on the island, and some island residents smuggled to the United States and Europe. Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, I have heard of it. .
I asked, "Did you lose your ID card, or do you have no ID card at all?" Before Wu Julan could answer, I said hastily, "Don't tell me, I don't really want to know, just work hard."
Wu Julan didn't hide his indifference to this matter at all, and said with a calm smile, "If you're fine, I'll go boil some water."
I nodded wildly and he headed for the kitchen.
To help stop the bleeding, the hem of his t-shirt was ripped around, and the whole t-shirt was shortened, which looked a little weird. I stared at it for a while, and my agitated mood gradually calmed down.
Now, I have more urgent troubles that need to be faced and solved. I will start renovation work tomorrow, but the renovation funds have been taken away.
I thought about it silently for a while, then called Wang Tianlin on my landline at home.
The two exchanged pleasantries. I asked him if he had bought the decoration materials. Wang Tianlin happily said that he had bought them. It was too urgent, but relying on his face, he hired good masters.
Walking in the rivers and lakes is all about a letter. I can't let Wang Tianlin break the trust of others. I put a big red cross on "cancellation of decoration" in my heart.
I told Wang Tianlin about my being robbed, saying that I was a little nervous about money, and asked him if it was possible to adjust the decoration plan, do part of it first, and then slowly do the rest when I have money.
The two discussed on the phone for a while, cut off some projects, and adjusted the decoration budget to 40,000 yuan.
I said "Excuse me, thank you" several times before hanging up.
When I looked up, I saw Wu Julan standing at the door with a glass of water. He probably thought that my legs were inconvenient, and he was afraid that I would be thirsty, so he brought me water.
I sighed and said, "When the decoration is finished, I really don't have any money in my hand."
Wu Julan said lightly: "If you lose your money, you can make more money. If you lose your life, everything will cease."
He handed me the water, and I was thirsty, so I took a sip, tasted that it contained honey, and immediately drank it all in one gulp, remembering the first time I met Wu Julan, I couldn't help pursing my lips and smiling.
I said softly: "You said that it was because of bad luck that you fell here. I will try my best to help you through this bad time within my ability. As for the other things, if you don't tell me, I won't ask."
Wu Julan stared at me quietly for a moment, turned and left without saying a word.
Wu Julan was cooking dinner in the kitchen. I was a little bored, lying in front of the computer desk, practicing using my left hand to play on the computer.
The sound of "bang bang" knocked on the door, my heart moved, I stood up with difficulty, and shouted: "Wu Julan, open the door!"
Wu Julan opened the courtyard door, sure enough, Zhou Buwen and Jiang Yisheng walked in one after the other.
"Where is Little Luo?" Zhou Buwen saw me while talking, ran to the window a few steps, and asked anxiously: "Jiang Yisheng said you hurt your hand, is it serious?"
I held my right hand in my left hand and showed him, "It's okay, that robber probably didn't intend to stab me. When he cut the shoulder strap of the handbag, the knife cut off my hand. The doctor said to rest well, and there will be no pain after recovery." any sequelae."
Zhou Buwen looked at my hand and said, "Fortunately, it's fine, otherwise I" he paused, and took back the words, "be careful in the future."
I nodded, "Yeah."
Jiang Yisheng said with a smile: "Hey, I said you two really had a big talk through the window. You go in first, and I will put the things we bought in the kitchen."
As I limped towards the living room, I asked, "What did you buy?"
"Pig trotters, what to eat and make up for?" Jiang Yisheng's voice came from the kitchen.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Is this person really a prodigy with high IQ who jumped three grades in a row and got the first place in his grade
After I slowly sat down on the sofa, Zhou Buwen handed me a new mobile phone, "Jiang Yisheng and I went to buy it together, and it's the number you used before."
"How much"
"Don't count money with me, it's a gift."
A mobile phone of a domestic brand should cost less than 1,000 yuan. I thought about it and accepted it. "Thank you."
Jiang Yisheng ran out of the kitchen and yelled at Wu Julan, "Cousin, you can actually cook. What is stewed in the pot smells so good?"
Wu Julan said: "Sparse ribs."
I interjected and said, "It just so happens that you bought a large amount of cabbage, so you and Datou can stay for dinner." Jiang Yisheng paid for the barbecue last night, and I originally planned to invite him and Zhou Buwen to dinner tonight.
Zhou Buwen said: "You are still injured, it's too troublesome"
"It's not me who cooks, I'm not the one who's in trouble. Isn't it, cousin?" I called "cousin" again, and looked at Wu Julan with a playful smile. It's a pity that Wu Julan doesn't watch TV dramas, and doesn't know that wherever there is a cousin, there will be drama conflicts, and usually the cousin will be cannon fodder.
Wu Julan didn't have the same knowledge as me, and said to Jiang Yisheng and Zhou Buwen, "It's not much different between cooking for two people and cooking for five people. Let's have dinner together." He made a concise decision and went to the kitchen to cook.
The five of them froze for a moment, then I remembered Zhou Buyan, and hurriedly said to Zhou Buwen: "I almost forgot that your cousin is also on the island. You can call her and ask her to come over with you."
Zhou Buwen said, "No need."
I was surprised: "Why don't you use it? She always has to eat at night, don't we just ask you to eat, not her, what do you make her think of our friends?"
Jiang Yisheng asked strangely: "Big head, do you have a good relationship with your cousin?"
Zhou Buwen hurriedly said: "No, I just think it's too much trouble for you."
I said: "The person who cooks it himself will not bother him, so why are you being polite?"
Jiang Yisheng also said: "If you are too polite, you will appear to be alienated."
