C20 How Could It be Such a Coincidence
"Hey, hey, can you say something else? Interesting, sir." The fat middle-aged man waved his fat hand. "Come on, the salary is still the same as theirs."
The group of people followed the fat middle-aged man. After turning a few corners, they arrived in front of a small supermarket.
A medium-sized truck stopped in front of them. At that moment, the boss turned around and spoke.
"Carry the goods in the car in. This is the job. Simple, 30 per person."
With that, the men and Old Sun started to work.
Although Old Sun was over 60 years old, his physical strength was really good. He carried a 100 kilogram rice bag on his shoulder and walked into the shop.
After passing through the goods area in front of the supermarket, Old Sun arrived at the warehouse. The fat middle-aged man was standing there.
"Just move these rice grains into this layer." The middle-aged man pointed at a two-meter tall ladder in front of them. The ladder was placed on a layer of concrete.
"Okay, boss." Old Sun replied, then picked up the bag of rice and climbed up the ladder.
In an ordinary house in Longgang Town, an old woman was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.
There was only her and her wife, as well as their little grandson in this house. Young people had gone to the city to find jobs, and now it was common for families like this to stay behind. Young people went to the big cities to find more jobs, leaving the elderly and children in their hometown.
Now, her husband was out looking for work, although the small one would send a sum of money back every month. When one was old, one would not be able to stay idle. Instead of playing chess and fishing with the old neighbor every day, he might as well go out and find something to do. Firstly, to pass the time. And you can also subsidize your household expenses.
Suddenly, a woman's shout broke the silence of the afternoon.
"Mrs Wang, come down quickly. Your wife fell off the ladder when she went out to work. She is now lying in the city hospital. Come quickly."
The one who spoke was the family member of Chen Yingfeng, who was in the restaurant next door. Mrs Wang heard this and quickly threw down the dishes in her hands. She did not even have time to change her apron before rushing out of the house.
Sitting on an electric tricycle, Mrs Wang rushed to the city hospital.
In the ward, Old Sun was lying on the hospital bed. He was carrying the floor on his back when he fell down and his waist fell.
"Say, you're already so old, why are you still following those young people for work? How many times have I told you? You just won't listen. Take a look. Now that you have fallen like this, if anything happens to you... How am I supposed to live!? "
Mrs Wang threw herself at Old Sun and said. She looked like she was about to cry.
"This is weird. I was clearly fine on the ladder. Suddenly, the ladder lost its balance. It was really weird. Oh my, my old waist." Old Sun also had a confused expression. He didn't know why he was so unlucky.
" Look at you. Seriously. Little Treasure is still in kindergarten. I still have to go back and pick him up later. I say, you're already so old, can't you let me save my worries?"
Mrs Wang said as she checked Old Sun's injuries. She only let out a long sigh when she found that he was not seriously injured.
" By the way, did you bring the money? Just now, you were rushed over to take care of it. You didn't even have the money to pay for the hospitalization fees. Fortunately, this little girl here has a good heart. Help me pay for the money. " As Old Sun spoke, he pointed to the bed next door with gratitude.
There was a girl in her twenties lying on the bed next door. She had a delicate appearance, but her face was very pale. She looked like she had just recovered from a serious illness.
"It's fine, grandpa. It's not easy to earn money at your age. Let's forget about this small amount of money." The girl smiled politely and stretched out her fair arm to stroke a few strands of her bangs on her face. "Also, just call me Chengcheng."
This woman was none other than Shen Chengcheng, who had just saved her life a few days ago.
That night, after she fell asleep, she fell into a coma again, scaring Ryoko and the group of nurses until they were half dead. The second time she was sent to the emergency room, she was saved until 4 am before she was pulled back from the life and death line.
"How can that be? It's not like she's treating us to a meal. Besides, judging from the little girl's accent, she should be from the capital. Outsiders are all guests, how can we let the guests spend money?" Mrs Wang waved her hand and said.
Although this aunty was also over 50 years old, her words made sense. She was very different from those old ladies who covet small profits in the market. It seemed that when she was young, she was also a daughter of a big family.
"Since this aunty has said so, then I won't force it." Shen Chengcheng revealed a faint smile. Although it was not enough to give a glimpse, it was enough to melt the autumn frost and melt the winter snow.
"Oh right, isn't our old undying suffering external injuries? Why is he living with you, little girl?" Mrs Wang looked at the ward of only these two people and asked in puzzlement.
"About that, I heard from the nurse who took care of me that she also did not know why she sent this old man over. It seems that she made a mistake in the room." Shen Chengcheng said with a calm expression.
"So that's how it is. At least it is still a city hospital. Why is it so careless?" Mrs Wang said angrily, "You said that it would not be a big problem if we only made a mistake in the ward. If we make a mistake in the operating theater... Then we'll have to kill him!"
Shen Chengcheng could not help but smile when she heard this. Although this aunty had a carefree and impatient personality, her words were not rough at all.
"I say, didn't you do well at the construction site? Why did you go to that troublesome Changjiang Market to find a way out? Look, this isn't how it is now. " Mrs Wang's style changed and started to complain about her husband again.
"Hey, what do you know? Didn't something happen over there and stopped work? This woman's hair is really long and short. Do you think I'm willing to?" Old Sun turned his head to look at Mrs Wang and glanced at his mouth. She was actually throwing a childish tantrum.
"The construction site?" Shen Chengcheng muttered, "How could it be so coincidental? Could it be?"
Mrs Wang who was at the side seemed to have noticed something and walked over to sit beside Shen Chengcheng's bed as she softly asked.
" Little girl, what kind of construction site did you say? "
"Ah, that's fine. It's fine. I have a friend here who is also doing his internship at a construction site. It just so happens that something happened at his construction site recently. I was thinking... Could it be a construction site? "Shen Chengcheng bit her lips and said with a slight frown.
"Little girl, what's your friend's name? I'm in charge of the distribution of labor insurance products at the construction site. If it's a construction site, I should know him."
At this time, Grandpa Wang, who was lying on the side, heard the conversation and suddenly said something.
"Yeah, little girl, tell me. My wife can't be of much help at the construction site. However, who are the people at the construction site and what are their names? He remembered. Don't look at him like that. When he was young, he had a photographic memory. He... There's nothing else good about him. He just has a good memory. " Mrs Wang also answered from the side.
"That's not it. At least you still remember me." Grandpa Wang smiled proudly and said.
"Come on, what's the use of having a good memory? Look at you, at your age, you're still working on construction sites, and you didn't say you were going to be a professor." Mrs Wang rolled her eyes at Old Sun unhappily.
"You are still talking about it. At that time, it was just to chase you. I did not even learn much." Old Sun argued, unconvinced. The nurse beside him couldn't help but laugh when she heard that. She closed the door and went out alone.
Mrs Wang heard this and felt a little embarrassed. She said, "Look at you talking nonsense in front of the little girl. Seriously."
