The three of them ate for a long time. It was not until about eight o'clock in the evening that the matter was discussed.
When they walked out of the box and were about to pay the bill, Feng Wanqing happened to be next to the counter.
"You don't have to pay the bill, I'll treat you to this meal." Feng Wanqing politely declined the money handed over by Yang Dan.
"Uh?" Yang Dan didn't know the relationship between Song Wenjing and Feng Wanqing, so he was naturally a little surprised.
"Wen Jing helped me a lot before, but every time I wanted to invite him to dinner, he refused. This time I had the chance, so I treated him as my guest." Feng Wanqing explained quickly.
Yang Dan was still a little hesitant. Song Wenjing made everyone embarrassed, so he stepped forward and said, "Sister Dandan, please treat me to dinner next time. This time we will benefit from Sister Wanqing!"
"Wen Jing, please wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
Just as the three of them were preparing to leave, Feng Wanqing chased out again and stopped Song Wenjing.
Zhou Yiping gave his cousin a meaningful look, said nothing more, and said goodbye to Feng Wanqing politely.
At this time, Song Wenjing did not know that Zhou Yiping might have misunderstood. Since Feng Wanqing wanted to see him for something, of course he had to wait for a while.
"Wen Jing, something seems to have happened to Wang Xiangqin's family that you introduced before. I asked for leave for a week, but now half a month has passed and I haven't seen anyone coming."
Feng Wanqing pulled Song Wenjing aside and informed him of the inquiry.
"Ah? No wonder I didn't see her here today. Do you also know what happened to their family?"
Song Wenjing hasn't been to Xianhe Tower for a while, so he doesn't know much about Wang Xiangqin's situation. If Feng Wanqing hadn't informed him of the situation today, he really wouldn't have paid attention.
Feng Wanqing frowned and said: "The last time I asked for leave, she told me that her husband was not in good health during this period and needed someone to take care of him, so he asked me for a week's leave first. I don't know the specific situation.
"
Regarding this matter, Feng Wanqing still has some opinions in her heart. If there is really something going on at home, you can tell the store first, how can you not come to work so quietly.
It doesn't matter if there is a shortage of people in the store. As long as you tell her in advance, she will naturally rearrange the work of the relevant personnel. But half a month has passed, and she still needs to give an explanation whether she will come or not in the future.
Song Wenjing didn't know what happened to Wang Xiangqin, and he couldn't defend her.
"Sister Wan Qing, I'm sorry to make it difficult for you. Let's do this. I'll go to the hospital later. I know his husband's ward and what the specific condition is. Wait until I go and ask."
"Okay!" Feng Wanqing nodded reluctantly, "Wen Jing, this is all about your face. But if she doesn't come here, I may not have a place for her here. Please understand this.
"
Of course Song Wenjing can understand that this is a normal phenomenon for any boss. Being absent from work for such a long time and giving him a chance is enough to give Song Wenjing face. But if Wang Xiangqin still doesn't come to work, he can only start again.
arrange people.
Early the next morning, Song Wenjing got up very early and went to the First People's Hospital.
Wang Xiangqin told him about her husband's ward last time, so he found the place easily.
"What? Died? When did it happen?"
"It was almost ten days ago. Her wife was here at the time. Later, the man's relatives came over and took him back. What happened next is unclear. Anyway, he was never seen again."
Song Wenjing did not expect that when he rushed to the hospital and found a nurse to understand the situation, he would receive such news.
No wonder Wang Xiangqin didn't show up for such a long time. It turned out that such a big change happened in the family.
A few months ago, his husband began to vomit blood frequently. He did not expect that a few months later, he would become separated from the yin and yang.
Song Wenjing originally thought about going to express his condolences, but unfortunately he didn't know the specific location of Wang Xiangqin's husband's family. He only knew which town or village it was in Cang County, but he didn't know at all.
Hey, I hope she can survive this.
In desperation, Song Wenjing came to Xianhe Tower again, found Feng Wanqing, and explained the matter to her.
"Hey, I didn't expect it to be like this. Xiao Wang is usually very hard-working and serious about her work, and I don't want her to leave. Wen Jing, in this way, I will keep his job here for a month at most.
If so, it won’t be easy for me to arrange it here. Do you think it’s okay?”
This is all we can do at the moment. Feng Wanqing and Wang Xiangqin are neither relatives nor friends. The main reason why Feng Wanqing and Wang Xiangqin can do this is because of Song Wenjing's face. This is the utmost benevolence and justice.
"Sister Wanqing, no matter what, I want to thank you."
"Don't be polite between the two of us. Please give me more advice in the future. More and more restaurants are opening now."
After bidding farewell to Feng Wanqing, Song Wenjing could only go back and continue collecting his rags.
As for Wang Xiangqin, there is nothing he can do at the moment. He can only hope that she will get rid of her grief as soon as possible and start over.
Three days passed quickly. That night, Zhou Yiping took Yang Dan to Song Wenjing's residence.
"Hey, I actually have two wolf dogs, they are so fierce!"
Yang Dan was obviously frightened and moved to the side.
There were originally three wolf dogs, one of which had been sent back to his hometown by Song Wenjing to be raised. The remaining two, after nearly half a year of growth, had become much taller and more powerful. As soon as they saw the two strangers coming, they howled on the spot.
stand up.
Fortunately, it was tied with a rope, otherwise he might have pounced on me.
"Big fool, second fool! Squat down and don't move!" Song Wenjing shouted.
When the two wolfdogs heard their master's order, they crouched down quickly and stopped barking. But the fierce look in their eyes was still there.
"You are quite stupid in choosing a name. What a stupid name!"
Zhou Yiping on the side supported Yang Dan, who was a little scared, and laughed at Song Wenjing at the same time.
"It's just a name, why is it so complicated? I originally wanted to pick a second or third level, but I was afraid that you would hit me, so I didn't dare!"
"Hahaha, this name is good, it should be called Erping or Sanping!"
When Zhou Zhouping heard Song Wenjing making fun of him in turn, he almost became angry and threatened to beat him up.
Fortunately, Yang Dan next to him also thought that the second level and the third level were fun, so he stopped Yiping Ping's hand.
After inviting the three of them into the house and pouring them a cup of tea, they started talking about business.
"Wen Jing, here is 2,500 yuan, please keep it. There is no need to rush to pay back the money. My parents are not waiting to use it."
Yang Dan took out a small stack of brand new banknotes from his bag and placed it in front of Song Wenjing.
In 1990, the country had just issued 50,100-denomination banknotes. Yang Dan's pile of banknotes had obviously just been taken out of the bank, and they were all in brand new hundred-yuan denominations.
Song Wenjing did not hesitate, took the stack of banknotes, and at the same time took out a pen and paper, "Sister Dandan, I will write you an IOU."
Of course, Yang Dan directly rejected Song Wenjing's proposal. In her opinion, Yi Ping's cousin was her cousin. She would marry into the Zhou family sooner or later, so how could she accept Song Wenjing's IOU.
Seeing that Yang Dan was so determined, Song Wenjing had no choice but to give up. However, he was still very grateful to Yang Dan in his heart. This was like giving charcoal in the snow, holding firewood to make fire.
"Wen Jing, I asked around before, and it seems that I haven't seen video recorders for sale in several stores in Shuzhou. What are your plans?" Zhou Yiping asked.
"I plan to go to Yangcheng, Guangdong Province or Pengcheng, the Special Administrative Region. There are definitely places there close to Hong Kong Island, and the price is probably cheaper. If possible, I will even prepare to buy a TV there. In addition, , how can the video hall do without video tapes, and these can be bought there. So, I will definitely make this trip."
This in itself is something Song Wenjing has considered, especially the video tape. Only there can he have more choices.
"Are you alone?" Zhou Yiping was obviously a little worried.
"Cousin, your cousin, I'm not a troublemaker. Besides, I'm not young anymore. It's time to see the world. It's not a good thing to stay huddled in Shuzhou all the time. This time is just right, let's go to the Special Administrative Region to have a look. See what you see." Song Wenjing said with some enthusiasm.
"Okay, then I'll help you apply for a border defense permit in the next two days. If you want to enter the special zone, you won't be able to get in without that permit. You might even be arrested as a blind immigrant."
