When Yumei returned home, Decheng told her about Tian Donglai breaking his leg. Yumei exclaimed: "How could this happen? Donglai is not thirty years old this year, right? What if this leg is lame?"

, how will we live in the provincial capital from now on?"

"Now it depends on how the factory handles it. If it can't be handled well, we have to step forward to help him fight for it. No matter what, we can't let him suffer this crime in vain." Decheng said with a frown.

"Dad, are you talking about Uncle Donglai? What's wrong with him?" June stood between the two of them, standing on tiptoes and asked.

Decheng lowered his head and touched June's hair: "Uncle Donglai is injured. We will go see him after dinner soon."

It was almost ten o'clock at night when I came back from the hospital, and no one was walking around on the street. Decheng was riding a bicycle, with June sitting on the big bar in front, and Yumei riding behind. The family walked back while chatting.

"Decheng, even though Wu Xiufen is usually silly, she is really kind to Donglai. Donglai was injured, which makes her anxious. If Donglai doesn't find a job after that, we have to find a way to help Wu Xiufen find a job.

, otherwise what will this family do in the future?"

Decheng pedaled his bicycle briskly in the night wind and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

"Well, you have such a heart. I'll thank you on Dong Lai's behalf. However, let's wait and see how the factory arranges Dong Lai."

After get off work the next day, Decheng did not go home. He took the bus directly to the Orthopedic Hospital. He ordered a bowl of vegetarian pepper noodles with mixed sauce to fill his stomach at the snack bar in front of the hospital. After eating the noodles, he slowly walked there. Went to the inpatient unit.

As soon as the door was opened, Dong Lai was sitting on the bed, obviously feeling much better than yesterday. Wu Xiufen was sitting by the bed, holding a spoon and feeding Dong Lai porridge.

"Brother, you're here." Dong Lai saw Decheng coming in and said hello to him.

Wu Xiufen quickly stood up and said, "Brother, haven't you eaten yet? I'll give you a bowl of the mung bean porridge I cooked at home." She then went to serve the rice to Decheng.

Decheng waved his hand hurriedly: "Don't worry about me, I've eaten here. You can take care of Dong Lai to eat first."

Decheng dragged a stool, sat beside the hospital bed and asked Donglai, "How are you feeling today?"

Dong Lai lowered his head and glanced at the injured leg covered with a thick layer of plaster, "It's better, but the wound still hurts a lot."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Your thigh is broken and you can still relax." Decheng shook his head and asked: "Did Master Cao come today? What did the factory say?"

Wu Xiufen interjected: "Donglai was sleeping when Team Leader Cao came. Team Leader Cao refused to wake him up and said that the matter has not been discussed in the factory yet. He will naturally tell us when the results come out.

of."

"Okay, come east, don't think about these things for the next two days, and rest in peace and recover."

"Yes, I know." Dong Lai finished his meal, and his face flushed slightly, perhaps because of the hot weather.

"By the way, Xiufen, what did the doctor say about today's ward rounds?" Wu Xiufen went out to wash the dishes and came back. Decheng asked her about the doctor's ward rounds today.

"The doctor said that if the alignment of the broken part is relatively stable, he can go to the hospital for two weeks to take a X-ray examination. As long as the broken part is not displaced, Lao Tian can go home to recuperate." Wu Xiufen carefully recalled the doctor's morning session

What he said to her during the ward rounds was relayed to Decheng.

Decheng felt relieved and turned to Dong with a smile: "It seems that the problem is not big. You are also a lucky person. After this disaster, there may be some good things waiting for you later."

"Brother, please don't make fun of me. I'm not a lucky person. But maybe it's my dad's spirit in heaven that is blessing me. Do you think it's weird? On the morning of the accident, I dreamed about my dad. I

I haven't dreamed about his old man for a long time." Tian Donglai stared straight at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Is it your own luck or your father's blessing? Anyway, as long as people are safe and sound, it will be fine. You have a good rest and I will come over to see you tomorrow." Decheng saw that it was getting late and he had to go to work tomorrow.

, he said goodbye to the Donglai couple and went downstairs.

After running like this for a week, Dong Lai's injuries gradually improved, and the doctor said he was recovering well.

That afternoon, Decheng went directly to the hospital to visit Tian Donglai after get off work as usual. As soon as he entered the door, Wu Xiufen said: "Brother, Team Leader Cao has been here and just left for a while."

"Oh, did he say how the factory plans to solve Dong Lai's matter?" Decheng glanced at Tian Donglai on the hospital bed. Donglai was half-leaning on the hospital bed, looking at the sunset outside the window in a daze, looking a little depressed.

Decheng felt nervous and had a premonition that the result might not be good.

"Team leader Cao said that Donglai was originally just a temporary worker in the factory. Now that he is like this, he will definitely not be able to do physical work in the future. Therefore, the factory does not plan to let him go back again."

"Oh, they were really ruthless in what they did. Dong Lai was injured at work, and the factory must be held responsible. We can't just dismiss Dong Lai with such a light word."

"Team Leader Cao said that the factory will reimburse Donglai's hospitalization expenses and subsequent medical expenses. In addition, the factory plans to give Donglai another three hundred yuan as compensation." Wu Xiufen thought of Cao.

The team leader mentioned that the factory would give Donglai some compensation.

"Dong Lai, what do you think?" Decheng walked to the bed and looked at Dong Lai and asked.

"I, I don't know what to do next. Now that my legs are broken, I will definitely not be able to work in the factory. What can I do if I stay in the city? But if I go back to my hometown like this,

I'm not willing to give in." Dong Lai retracted his gaze from the window, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes.

"Xiufen, what do you think?" Decheng asked Wu Xiufen again what her opinion was.

"Brother, I can't tell. Anyway, I will go wherever he is from the East. However, I think the factory can give three hundred yuan as compensation. Otherwise, let's not go back to the countryside. We will just live here.

Find a small business for three hundred yuan. For example, sell some peanuts and melon seeds, needles, threads, brains, and other things that ordinary people need. Come from the east, what do you think?" Wu Xiufen didn't know why, but this idea suddenly popped into her head.

"That won't work! Nowadays, opportunists are being hunted everywhere, and you are just pointing the finger at the gun." Decheng shook his head, rejecting Wu Xiufen's idea.

"We just sell things secretly in the dormitory area of ​​the factory. Isn't this okay? I see several family members in the dormitory area selling things secretly. They can sell it, why can't we?" Wu Xiufen refused to give up.

I finally came up with the idea and kept insisting on my idea.

"Don't think about it! I won't be a salesman!" Tian Donglai yelled at Wu Xiufen.

Wu Xiufen was stunned and replied angrily: "If you don't want to do it, just do it. Why are you so fierce?"

If it were Tian Donglai who had just entered the city, he might have considered becoming a salesman. But now he is a worker with several years of work experience. Although he is only a temporary worker, he can still be considered a working class person.

, he will never allow himself to go back and become a sneaky salesman. Over the years, the pride and pride of a worker have made him unable to afford to lose face.

"Don't argue for now. Things haven't been decided yet. Why are you two so anxious?" Decheng quickly stepped forward to be a peacemaker and ease the tension between the couple.

"Dong Lai, do you still want to stay in the factory as a worker?" Decheng asked Dong Lai.

Tian Donglai said nothing, but nodded firmly.

"Okay, I'll go to the wood heddle factory tomorrow and talk to your leaders."

"Is this possible?" Tian Donglai looked at Decheng and asked with some doubts.

"It seems that you don't believe me. Comrade Donglai, you must have confidence in yourself, and you must have confidence in your brother, me." Decheng imitated the leader's behavior and waved his hand boldly. Sitting next to him

Wu Xiufen looked at it and couldn't help laughing.

After returning home, Decheng saw that it was still early, so he called Yang Minggui out and stood with him under the eaves to talk. Yang Minggui first asked about Tian Donglai's injury and learned that his injury was recovering well, so Yang Minggui took the photo

Patting his chest: "That's good, that's good, I feel relieved now."

Decheng was a little confused: "Brother Yang, Tian Donglai was injured, and it has nothing to do with you. Why are you nervous?"

"After all, I was the one who introduced Dong Lai to the factory. If something happened to him in the factory, I would still feel a little guilty in my conscience."

"Hey, look what you said, can this help help? To be honest, whether it is me or Donglai, I can only be grateful to you, Brother Yang, and there is absolutely no reason to blame you."

"By the way, Brother Yang, I want to ask you something. Which leader in your factory is in charge of labor and personnel?"

Yang Minggui scratched his short hair with five thick fingers, "I remember that Deputy Director Qiu has been in charge of this stall in the past few years. Why do you ask?"

Decheng told Yang Minggui that the factory wanted to use 300 yuan as compensation for sending Tian Donglai away. When Yang Minggui heard this, his face showed a sarcastic look: "No wonder everyone calls him Qiu Ba in private, he is really an inhumane person."

There's no use looking for him, he's like a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard. You might as well go directly to Factory Director Wang, he's a nice guy and all the workers in the factory respect him."

"I don't know any of these people. How about you take me to Factory Director Wang tomorrow?"

Yang Minggui thought for a while and said, "Okay, come to the factory tomorrow morning to find me, and I will take you to see Factory Director Wang."

The next morning, Decheng asked for a leave from the workshop director. During this time, Decheng had been asking for leave, and the director had some objections. However, after learning that Decheng's cousin had broken his leg, the director readily agreed.

His holiday did not embarrass him.

When he transferred all the way to the gate of the Timber Comprehensive Plant, Yang Minggui was already waiting for him there. Yang Minggui told the comrades in the guard room that Decheng was here to see Director Wang. After a simple registration, Decheng followed Yang Minggui and entered smoothly.

to the factory area.

Yang Minggui pointed to the row of red brick buildings in the center of the factory and introduced it to Decheng: "Well, this is the office area of ​​the factory leaders. I won't accompany you in for a while. You go directly to the second floor, turn left on the stairs to the second room, and the door

There is a sign indicating the factory director’s office.”

"Okay, thank you, Brother Yang."
