"I've already connected. In the afternoon, you can come with me to meet this person." Wang Bolin whispered to Xu Erlong.
Seeing someone looking over, he patted Xu Erlong on the shoulder, turned and walked away.
This made Xu Erlong happy.
Otherwise, the family has already collected nearly a thousand kilograms of eels, and keeping them for two more days would be a long night and a lot of dreams.
In a small county like this, everything depends on connections.
There is no one to make connections, and many places will not let you in through the gates.
As long as he can meet and establish a relationship with his lover, Xu Erlong is confident that he will win the deal.
Feeling very happy, Xu Erlong went to the finance room to settle the account and did not intend to go to Taohua River to sell cold water.
He didn't go away and stayed near the food group, preparing to wait for Wang Bolin to get off work.
Under the big locust tree, a group of retired elderly people are playing chess.
"I heard that Director Li's daughter was swimming in Taohua River yesterday and almost fell to her death from the cliff at the head cave."
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I've been rescued."
"That's a good thing. She's lucky. Otherwise, Director Li would be so angry that he would be so alone?"
"Let these people learn a lesson. Look at those girls. They are so shameless. They even went to swim in the river. Aren't their arms and legs all visible?"
"Oh, today's young people talk about what they want to pursue freedom, but they keep calling us old feudal people."
"Whatever, she's not my granddaughter anyway. If she dares to go swimming, I'll break her legs. She's shameless."
The discussions of these old people almost represent the attitude of the entire factory workers.
Some were lucky, some were gloating, and some were displeased... The whole factory was talking about it.
Li Yongnian hurried home.
Shameful.
Something so big happened to his daughter, and he, the father, was the last one to know the news.
He had to work in the factory again, and his mother was still in the hospital with a tumor. He was extremely busy all day long.
In the small building where the factory leaders live, Li Yongnian lives in a two-bedroom apartment, which is considered a relatively good treatment in the factory.
As soon as you enter the door, there are two single spring sofas. The small coffee table in the middle is covered with a lace cover, and a set of exquisite brown coffee cups is placed on the coffee table.
On the chest of drawers opposite, there is a 14-inch black and white TV.
This is a symbol of wealthy families these days.
Li Yingtong was leaning on the spring sofa and was not in good spirits.
She was so frightened yesterday that she didn't recover for a long time after she came back.
Now, thinking back to yesterday's scene, it is vivid in my mind.
After returning from a narrow escape, some details that were not noticed are now infinitely magnified.
She...the man who saved her, where was his arms at that time?
And later, where did his legs get stuck?
Li Yingtong was ashamed and angry.
God, there were a lot of people watching at that time, right?
"Bang" the door was pushed open, and Li Yongnian strode in.
"Dad." Li Yingtong stood up.
"Did you go swimming with someone yesterday?" Li Yongnian asked with his face covered.
"Dad..." Li Yingtong hesitated.
Looking at her expression, Li Yongnian also guessed that this was a fact.
"Oh, you, you are so angry with me." Li Yongnian was furious.
I wanted to reach out and hit my daughter, but looking at her little face, I still couldn't do it.
His daughter is not yet eighteen years old, and it is the time for her youth to be rebellious.
Because her family environment is good, this girl has never been beaten severely by the outside world and is somewhat willful and unruly.
But at least she doesn't have any bad intentions and hasn't done anything treacherous or bad.
Before Li Yongnian could teach him a lesson, he was mentally making excuses for himself.
He is such a lonely person, and he is reluctant to teach him a lesson.
This is also a common situation in this kind of family in the future, with just one child and various treasures.
Li Yingtong stepped aside and admitted her mistake repeatedly: "Dad, I know I was wrong, and I will never go there again."
His lover Luo Chunmei persuaded her with gentle words: "Now that my daughter has realized her mistake, don't be angry anymore. Young people, you will learn from every experience. How can you grow up without experiencing a little setback."
"But she almost lost her life by teaching her a lesson." Li Yongnian said sadly: "Do you know how dangerous it is there? People fall there every year."
The county is so big, how could Luo Chunmei not know?
Luo Chunmei sighed: "Fortunately, Tongtong was lucky enough to be saved."
She spoke softly and handed the teapot in her hand to Li Yongnian: "Drink some water, you are in such a hurry."
Li Yongnian drank half a jar of tea and water and asked, "Who saved you? Have you thanked him?"
"I..." Li Yingtong concluded.
She was so frightened yesterday that she could still remember this.
"Tongtong, you are wrong. Someone else saved your life. No matter what, we have to thank them." Luo Chunmei said.
This incident happened when so many people were present and not even a word of thanks was given. From now on, workers in the factory will not know how to talk about them behind their backs.
"Well, who is the person who saved you? I'll come and thank you." Li Yongnian said.
"I heard they sell water by the river. I don't know what it's called." Li Yingtong put his hands behind his back and clasped his fingers.
"Go and ask around. The county is so big. How can you not find someone if you sincerely want to find someone?" Li Yongnian spoke and acted resolutely. He got up and took Li Yingtong with him to find someone.
"Wait a minute, bring something with you." Luo Chunmei said.
There are several kilograms of apples at home, two boxes of queen bee oars in the chest of drawers, and several bottles of cod liver oil.
Luo Chunmei packed these things in a net bag, which looked full of sincerity.
The three of them braved the scorching sun and came to the Peach Blossom River.
There were still many people swimming by the Peach Blossom River, and the thrilling scene that happened yesterday seemed not to exist.
The three of them walked around the river and saw no one selling cold water.
But there was an old man selling popsicles next to me.
"Dad, he's not here." Li Yingtong breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
She was really worried about meeting her rescuer here, and she always felt a little awkward.
Li Yongnian is an adult, how could he give up so casually.
Li Yongnian stepped forward, bought two popsicles from the popsicle seller, and handed them to Li Yingtong and Luo Chunmei.
It not only takes care of the old man's business, but also allows his wife and daughter to quench their thirst.
He handed a cigarette to the old man and stood beside him to help light the cigarette.
"Master, let me ask you something. Isn't there a young man selling cold water here? Where is he now?"
The old man selling popsicles recognized the girl next to him: "Oh, you are the girl who had the accident yesterday? It was all thanks to the young man selling cold water yesterday!"
"You ask where he is? How do I know?"
"He didn't come today. If he didn't come, he didn't come."
"Oh, I only know that his surname is Xu and that he is from Qi'an Commune. I don't know anything else."
