Yu Tian went out and rode straight to the provincial capital.
He guessed that Li Wanrou might have returned to the provincial capital and borrowed money from her own parents.
Li Wanrou's parents are both intellectuals and teach in schools.
The two of them are usually diligent and thrifty, and they should be able to get a few hundred yuan together if they find someone to do it.
But the difficulty lies in Li Wanrou's relationship with her parents.
She is a strong woman with pride in her bones.
She originally planned to go home to see her parents when she had enough dignity.
Now go back and borrow money.
It's like a slap in the face to herself, and it will make her parents look down on her...
...
Yu Tian pedaled all the way and quickly traveled four or five miles.
Along the road leading to the provincial capital, I looked for Li Wanrou while riding.
In this era, transportation was not developed.
It is also very common to go to provincial capitals on foot.
But Yu Tian rode for more than an hour, but did not find any trace of Li Wanrou.
He circled back and forth several times, but still couldn't see anyone.
Without communication equipment, it would be even harder to find someone than to reach the sky.
In desperation, he had to return to the county seat.
He didn't go back to the hospital, but went directly to the noodle stall.
One is to see if the third brother has delivered the goods, and the other is to eat something to fill his stomach.
He hadn't eaten anything since morning and was very hungry.
I ordered a bowl of eel noodles, added more spicy pepper, and finished it in a few bites.
"brother!"
The noodle stall owner had some free time, so he came over to chat and said, "Your family is really hardworking. I don't think you are any easier than me, who wakes up early and stays late!"
"Fortunately, we will be prosperous together..."
Yu Tian took over the conversation, "Brother, under the planned economy, reform and opening up, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. You have to make money early, and if you are late, you will have no chance."
"You make money, and you can't let women be too tired, right? I really have to tell you about this. I won't let your sister-in-law be too tired. I will do the rough work and the heavy work."
The young boss lit a cigarette, looked at his wife, and there was something in his words.
Yu Tian was stunned.
What does this mean? Is he talking about Li Wanrou?
"Brother, what you said is..."
Yu Tian frowned deeply and put down his chopsticks.
"Cherish the women around you! My sister-in-law is so thin, why do you ask her to do odd jobs? Listen to me, making money is our men's business. As for women, just take care of the home and children!"
As soon as the words came out, Yu Tian understood immediately.
After asking a few questions, I found out.
It turns out that Li Wanrou also had a bowl of eel noodles here this morning.
During the chat, she revealed that she was going to do odd jobs to earn more money.
"Where did she go?"
Yu Tian had no intention of chatting anymore, and his heart was clenched together.
"You don't know? Let me think about it...she said she was replacing the second brother or something. I don't know where exactly she is. But she went east, and there is a construction site over there, maybe that's where she is."
After the little boss finished speaking, another guest came, so he stood up to greet them.
Yu Tian paid the money and pedaled away.
Passing through alleys and passing crowds, he quickly arrived near the construction site.
This is where the second brother Yu Shuang often works odd jobs.
After parking the car, he hurriedly walked into the construction site, looked around, and found Li Wanrou.
In the construction site.
Li Wanrou is beside the sand pile, holding a shovel and filtering the fine sand.
She was covered in sweat.
The originally fair skin was already covered in dust.
The new clothes I bought just two days ago were now covered with specks of mud, water and sand.
"Wanrou..."
Yu Tian walked over quickly, feeling as if his heart had been stabbed by a knife.
"Why are you here? Where is my second brother? You haven't talked to Xiao Tao'er yet, okay?"
Li Wanrou put down the shovel and wiped the sweat from her forehead like a normal person.
The second brother was called out by Xiao Taoer early this morning, saying he wanted to talk about their future.
He couldn't get a part-time job, so Li Wanrou took over for him and did the odd job for the day so as not to waste the opportunity to make money.
Yu Haiming was in urgent need of money, and Li Wanrou was unable to help.
She was also ready. If Yu Tian couldn't get the money tomorrow, she would really go back to the provincial capital, put down all her pretense, and beg her parents.
"Wanrou, put it down and go back to the hospital with me."
Yu Tian took a deep breath, threw down the shovel, grabbed her little hand, and walked out.
"Don't! Don't!"
Li Wanrou stopped her and said, "If I leave now, I will lose one day's wages! Dad is still waiting for money for medical treatment, so if you can scrape together a little, it's better!"
Filtering sand is not a technical job.
What is needed is strong physical strength.
But this job is obviously not suitable for Li Wanrou.
If you look carefully, you can see that new calluses have been formed on the palms of her white and tender hands.
The sun is high.
The sun shines on everyone.
For those who rest under the shade of trees, the sunshine is warm and pleasant.
For Li Wanrou at this time, the sunshine seemed a bit vicious and harsh on life.
But at this moment she.
But it is like a persevering wild flower.
Stubbornly brave the scorching sun, hold your head high, and resist the unkindness of life.
"The money has been borrowed. I asked the master this morning and I can get it together tomorrow morning. Judging from his expression, there should be no problem."
Yu Tian pulled Li Wanrou away "forcibly" and said, "This job is not suitable for you. Go back to the hospital. You will never do such rough work again."
Li Wanrou still wanted to struggle.
But Yu Tian held on tightly, pulled her outside the door, let her sit in the back seat, and rode back to the county hospital.
Along the way.
Yu Tian said nothing.
Just tears kept rolling in my eyes.
Where can I find such a wife?
I am afraid that it is absolutely impossible to find another one in the world.
"Yu Tian, I'd better go back to the provincial capital tonight. Seeing that your father is sick, I miss my parents too. I haven't seen them for a long time, and I don't know how their health is..."
Li Wanrou pursed her lips lightly and made an excuse.
It was true that she missed her parents, but she couldn't accept the thought of meeting her parents in their current state.
If it were before.
She would never ask to go home.
But now I am getting better.
She is also willing to put down her dignity for a better life.
"no..."
Yu Tian said softly, "There is no one to take care of my father now. Doudou is still at the third brother's house. You can't leave."
Both of them could understand each other's words.
No matter what excuses Li Wanrou made, Yu Tian firmly refused.
If you want to go home, you must go back in an upright and honorable manner.
This is the satisfactory answer Yu Tian wants to hand in to Li Wanrou.
The bicycle arrived downstairs in the inpatient department.
Before going upstairs, Yu Tian noticed two figures in the garden.
Second brother Yu Shuang and Xiao Taoer were having an intense conversation.
They were a little far away and couldn't hear clearly. I saw the two of them talking, and Xiao Taoer suddenly raised her hand and slapped Yu Shuang hard on the mouth.
"You go upstairs first and take care of your mother."
Yu Tian drove the car very well and said to Li Wanrou.
Li Wanrou was very sensible and pretended not to notice and hurried upstairs.
Yu Tian followed closely behind, hiding behind the door. It wasn't until the second brother came back in despair that he pretended to have just gone out and greeted him.
