Chapter 49 Xiong Zhuangzhuang's work
Leng Bancheng!
When I heard the sigh to Limin, I remembered Leng Bancheng's coldness, and the two unfathomable black-clothed bodyguards beside Leng Bancheng, plus Leng Bancheng's wealthy assets, I felt a chill on my back.
If the chairman of Leng Group instructed his grandson Leng Bancheng to come forward because of his face, then Xiong Zhuangzhuang would have encountered the most difficult thing. Although the boss said that the wealthy families are very low-key now, I believe Leng Bancheng will have many ways. Leng Bancheng doesn’t need Leng Bancheng to do it himself, so Xiong Zhuangzhuang can make things difficult.
"Xiang Limin, you came here today to remind me to remind Brother Zhuang Zhuang to be careful, right?"
I asked quickly, nodded to Limin and said yes, he said he knew Xiong Zhuangzhuang too, and Xiong Zhuangzhuang had borrowed money from him some time ago.
I immediately understood that at noon that day, I and Bi Fada attacked Leng Yuanhang and met Xiong Zhuangzhuang and asked Leng Yuanhang to borrow money. Xiong Zhuangzhuang did not borrow money from Leng Yuanhang in order not to expose me.
Later, Xiong Zhuangzhuang said that he had thought of a solution and turned out to be asking Xiang Limin to borrow money. This shows that Xiong Zhuangzhuang and Xiang Limin had a good relationship, otherwise Zhuangzhuang would not have borrowed money.
I didn't ask Xiong Zhuangzhuang how much money she borrowed, but I just heard him say to Limin: "I should have notified Xiong Zhuangzhuang in person, but my father was very stubborn. He told me not to cause trouble at this critical moment. My father didn't allow me to notify Xiong Zhuangzhuang, but I was really worried about Zhuangzhuang, so I could only come to the bar to find you."
I thanked Xiang Limin for Xiong Zhuangzhuang and said that I would contact Xiong Zhuangzhuang immediately. After all, Leng Bancheng was targeted, which was not a good thing.
Among the younger generation in this county, Lengbancheng has the most famous reputation. Compared with Leng Yuanhang, Lengbancheng is the bright starlight in the sky, while Leng Yuanhang is the candlelight on the ground. Everyone knows that although they are the same grandfather, their strengths are very different.
Xiang Limin nodded, then walked back to the bar to accompany his classmates, and I called Liu Xiaoting directly and asked her about Xiong Zhuangzhuang's contact information.
Although I am quite close to Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Brother Zhuang treats me well, but I don’t have the chance to get Xiong Zhuangzhuang’s contact information. I believe Liu Xiaoting must have it!
Liu Xiaoting first asked me why I was looking for Xiong Zhuangzhuang. I didn't hide it from her. She said that Xiang Liming got the news from his father. When he heard that Leng Bancheng was going to face Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Liu Xiaoting was not calm.
"You wait for me, I'll come to the bar to find you right away. We both go to Xiong Zhuangzhuang's house together. He doesn't have a cell phone, just like you before."
After Liu Xiaoting finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly.
Then, I waited for Liu Xiaoting anxiously in the bar. After half an hour, Liu Xiaoting rushed to the bar and said that her mother was not easy to go out at home and tried every means to come out.
I said I could understand, so I immediately went into the bar and asked the boss for leave, saying that I had something very important to deal with.
The boss’s wife knew that I rarely asked for leave before, and she didn’t ask me what happened, just said that if I encountered something I couldn’t handle, remember to call her.
I thanked the boss's wife, went to the booth to greet Xiang Liming and the others, and then I hurriedly followed Liu Xiaoting to Xiong Zhuangzhuang's house.
Xiong Zhuangzhuang's home, living in the urban-rural fringe of this county, is a low-rise earth house. The earth house at night seems to be defeated under the dim street lights. The glass windows of the earth house are half open, reflecting incandescent lights from the inside, which blends with the dim outdoors, making it look a little cold.
On the way here, Liu Xiaoting had already told me that Xiong Zhuangzhuang would go to night shift at 11 o'clock in the evening. As for what job, Liu Xiaoting didn't say it, and I didn't ask. I knew that Liu Xiaoting was willing to say it, and would definitely tell me.
Liu Xiaoting said that Xiong Zhuangzhuang could be found at home at this time because Xiong Zhuangzhuang is a filial son. He always takes care of his disabled grandfather and a younger brother at home when he is not at work.
Standing in front of the old wooden door, Liu Xiaoting calmed down and knocked on the wooden door: "Xiong Zhuangzhuang, are you at home? I am Liu Xiaoting."
In the room, the elderly man's voice soon came: "Zhuangzhuang is not at home. He has something to do and will not come back tomorrow night. Xiaoting, wait, I'll open the door."
As we were talking, we heard another child voice coming from the room: "Grandpa, you have trouble with your legs and feet, I'll go open the door."
Immediately afterwards, the wooden door opened, and a boy about six or seven years old stood behind the door. Through the incandescent light in the house, I saw that the little boy was very thin and had obvious vegetables on his face. It was caused by malnutrition. Both Bi Fada and I had it.
well!
I didn't have to go into the house at all, and I could feel the poverty of Xiong Zhuangzhuang's family. It was another poor family, just like me, and was comparable to Han Qian.
"Hello sister, hello brother."
The little boy was very polite and greeted me and Liu Xiaoting in a friendly manner. He looked back at the house and said that grandpa was inconvenient in a wheelchair. Please forgive us.
Liu Xiaoting reached out to touch the little boy's hair with a distressed heart, said with a smile that it was okay, then walked through the main hall and entered a not-so-spacious room.
This room is about ten square meters, which is larger than the houses of Grandpa Han and Han Qian. However, the decorations in the house are simple, with a bed, a table, a wardrobe, and a wheelchair, with a white-haired old man sitting on it.
This old man is Xiong Zhuangzhuang's grandfather.
When Liu Xiaoting saw the old man, she hurriedly called him "Hello Grandpa Xiong". I also smiled and called him "Hello Grandpa Xiong."
Grandpa Xiong obviously met Liu Xiaoting. He smiled and said, "Xiaoting, is it a matter of school to come to Zhuangzhuang so late?"
Liu Xiaoting said yes, and asked Xiong Zhuangzhuang to talk about her studies, but since Xiong Zhuangzhuang was not at home, she would not disturb Grandpa Xiong's rest anymore. She reached into her pocket and took it for a while, and her expression suddenly became very embarrassing.
I immediately understood that Liu Xiaoting wanted to pay for Grandpa Xiong to express her feelings, but she obviously forgot that she gave all her pocket money to Zhang Dewu earlier.
Now Liu Xiaoting can't pay for money, at least she can't pay for a big ticket, so her face turned red with shame.
And I immediately took out the paper ticket on my body. I still planned to pay Xiong Zhuangzhuang and me the breakfast fee every morning. There were more than 100 yuan. Although it was not much, it could at least solve Liu Xiaoting's urgent need.
I hurriedly stuffed the money into Grandpa Xiong's hands. The old man didn't want my money. Liu Xiaoting persuaded me for a long time. Grandpa Xiong reluctantly accepted it and asked the little boy to bend down to thank us.
It can be seen that although Grandpa Xiong is disabled, he teaches his children very well, otherwise Xiong Zhuangzhuang would not be so deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even this little boy who I don't know the name is polite and sensible.
After coming out of Grandpa Xiong's house, Liu Xiaoting said thank you to me. I knew she thanked me and paid Grandpa Xiong. I said that this was what I should be. Although I was poor and had countless foreign debts, I still knew how to be filial to the elderly.
Liu Xiaoting smiled at me gently and said that she was attracted by my simplicity. She knew how to respect people better than the wealthy children like Leng Yuanhang.
I said Xiaoting, you like me because of my simplicity, right?
Liu Xiaoting's pretty face turned red. Although the lights were dim, I could see clearly. She avoided my hot eyes charmingly and said that she was either like you or that she felt that you were real and not artificial.
I laughed. If I hadn't been in a hurry to find Xiong Zhuangzhuang, I would have wanted to continue saying this to Liu Xiaoting, and the feeling of falling in love would have been so exciting.
"We have to go find Xiong Zhuangzhuang, and we must let him know about Leng Bancheng's outing earlier."
Liu Xiaoting no longer flirted with me. She led me to walk quickly to the county town and said that Xiong Zhuangzhuang should have gone to work early and asked me to see Xiong Zhuangzhuang later, so that she must not be surprised by Xiong Zhuangzhuang's work nature.
Obviously, Liu Xiaoting knew what Xiong Zhuangzhuang was doing, but she didn't tell me directly that she would know when I saw Xiong Zhuangzhuang after I went over.
With curiosity, I appeared at a construction site in the county town half an hour later with Liu Xiaoting. I looked at the construction site that was working overtime overnight. I thought, could Xiong Zhuangzhuang be a construction worker here?
"Originally, the construction site was not allowed to work overnight, for fear of disturbing people's rest, but this project is beneficial to citizens and is a municipal project, so it needs to be completed quickly, so the above designated construction site is signed for overtime at night."
Liu Xiaoting did not take me into the construction site as soon as possible, but explained to me: "That is, we can have overnight shifts here, so Xiong Zhuangzhuang found a job here. He had to go to school during the day, otherwise Grandpa Xiong would be unhappy, but working all night at night, Xiong Zhuangzhuang could only sleep helplessly in the class."
I suddenly realized and hurriedly said that Brother Zhuangzhuang is really hard.
Liu Xiaoting nodded, then led me to the construction site. The gatekeeper knew Liu Xiaoting and greeted him enthusiastically: "Beauty, are you here to look for Zhuangzhuang again?"
Liu Xiaoting smiled and nodded, saying, "Brother, is Xiong Zhuangzhuang at the construction site?"
The gatekeeper said that Xiong Zhuangzhuang had just arrived, so he handed us the hard hats and asked us to go in and find someone directly.
Liu Xiaoting thanked the gatekeeper, put on a hard helmet, and led me into the construction site. Not long after, we both came to a building under construction.
At this time, many workers wearing safety helmets were working under the headlights, and no one cared about my entry and Liu Xiaoting.
Liu Xiaoting pointed to the bottom of the building, and there was an entrance there. Liu Xiaoting said that Xiong Zhuangzhuang was below. She asked me to prepare myself mentally and don't be too shocked later.
I was even more curious about what kind of job Xiong Zhuangzhuang was doing. At this time, Liu Xiaoting had already taken the lead in getting into the entrance.
I hurriedly followed, and we walked through the entrance and down to the first floor of the brigade. Liu Xiaoting walked around several large machines and walked to a large red stove.
It was more than ten meters away from the big stove, but I was still sweating profusely by the hot high temperature. Liu Xiaoting was also sweating. She said we could not go there anymore because the temperature of the stove was at least tens of thousands of degrees, and it could melt steel in an instant.
I said this is not the furnace of the steel plant. Liu Xiaoting said that it is almost the same. This furnace melts certain construction steel and then uses characteristic abrasive tools to regenerate the characteristic steel products needed by the building.
"Xiong Zhuangzhuang is the furnace producer!"
As soon as Liu Xiaoting's words fell, I saw a burly figure walking out from behind the furnace. He was wearing a characteristic protective suit, and his whole face was under a transparent mask that was resistant to high temperatures. I could see clearly through the raging fire.
This person is Xiong Zhuangzhuang. The sweat beads on his face kept rolling down, but it was soon evaporated by the high temperature. Even through the protective equipment, Xiong Zhuangzhuang was still gasping for breath. After his sweat was evaporated, it emerged again and was evaporated again. Under such a vicious cycle, Xiong Zhuangzhuang's face was soon covered with a layer of pale white substance.
It was the salt substance left after sweat evaporated. This substance was distributed on Xiong Zhuangzhuang's face, and it shone with the red flames, making me feel sad.
It turned out that Xiong Zhuangzhuang was doing work that ordinary people could not do every night. He was sweating profusely and used his hard work to support Grandpa Xiong and his younger brother.
"Brother Zhuangzhuang!"
I felt sad in my heart and shouted to Xiong Zhuangzhuang with a bitter voice.
Only then did Xiong Zhuangzhuang discover me and Liu Xiaoting. A smile appeared on his face under the mask, and he forced the white salt layers on his face to fall down one after another.
The picture is particularly desolate.
