The night sky of early spring was filled with restlessness.
When Pan Baoshan stepped into the village government compound, he suddenly thought of Liu Jiangyan. An impulse welled up in his heart and he wanted to confess to her. Pan Baoshan believed that there shouldn't be a problem. From all the signs, Liu Jiangyan should have feelings for him.
At this moment, Pan Baoshan had already forgotten about Zheng Xiaoping and went straight to the dormitory building.
It was still early, and the lights in all the dormitories were still on. Pan Baoshan stood downstairs and looked at Liu Jiangyan's room in a daze. If it was in the past, he might have mustered up the courage to knock on the door. However, it seemed a little inappropriate now. He had only been the deputy township head for a short time, and it would be a little threatening to go at this time.
"Let's do it in the future. Be prepared at all times. There will always be a more suitable opportunity.”Pan Baoshan shook his head and walked towards his dormitory. Just as he opened the door, he heard footsteps behind him. It was Wang Tao.
Why did he come back at this time? Did he really have something to do or was he deliberately avoiding the bar?
Pan Baoshan didn't enter the room. He hesitated for a moment. After Wang Tao entered the room, he turned around and walked over. He knocked on Wang Tao's door." Wang Tao, can I have a word?"”
"Chat-chat." Wang Tao looked very haggard and was slightly surprised by Pan Baoshan's arrival." Come in and sit."”
Pan Baoshan went in and sat down by the bed. Wang Tao took out a pack of Liqun cigarettes that cost eight yuan." I don't have any good cigarettes. This is it."”
"As long as it can smoke." Pan Baoshan picked up a piece of paper and said," There's a meeting this afternoon. We'll have the village secretaries stay for dinner tonight. I wanted you to go, but you happened to have something on.”
"I have something to do. I just came back.”Wang Tao smiled reluctantly." I didn't mean not to drink.”
"I know." Pan Baoshan blew on his cigarette." Hey, Wang Tao, you don't look happy. Is it because you didn't manage to get a girlfriend tonight? You took a liking to her, but she didn't take a liking to you?”
"Sigh, how could that be?" Wang Tao smiled bitterly." Something happened at home. Dad needs surgery.”
"How old are you?"
"Sixty-three."
"He's not old. His body can take it.”Pan Baoshan comforted him," It's okay. Don't worry too much. Otherwise, your sad face will add to your father's psychological burden, you know?"”
"I'm not worried about Dad's health.”Wang Tao placed one arm on the corner of the table, lowered his head, and let out a long sigh." The surgery and medical expenses are too high. I can't afford it at the moment.”
"How much?"
"Close to 200,000."
"Oh, that's quite a lot. How much more do we need now?”
"We don't have much money at home. The siblings have gathered a hundred thousand yuan and borrowed forty to fifty thousand yuan from relatives. We're still short of fifty to sixty thousand yuan. The key is that the doctor said that the surgery can't be delayed.”
"I'll ask my colleagues for help tomorrow. Fifty to sixty thousand isn't a big problem. I have more than ten thousand.”
"It's not easy for you to save some salary. Forget it. Go to the bank tomorrow and see if you can get a loan.”
"What do you mean it's not easy? I don't need it now. It's meaningless to put it in the bank. It's very suitable to take it out to save a friend!”Pan Baoshan stood up and patted Wang Tao's shoulder." It's settled then. I'll go look for Old Wang immediately. He should have some spare money on hand.”
After Pan Baoshan finished speaking, he walked out to look for Old Wang. Old Wang had not returned yet, and the room was still dark. Pan Baoshan estimated that no matter how long it took to send someone off, he would be back soon, so he went to welcome him.
After turning the corner, a figure staggered over. It was Old Wang.
"Old Wang, you don't seem to have drunk much. Why are you swaying when you walk?”Pan Baoshan stepped forward and said," Sigh, there's something I need to discuss with you.”
Old Wang's breath reeked of alcohol." After sending them off, Fu Guangbo and I went back to the house to take a look. There was still half a bottle left, so the two of them sat down and started drinking again.”
"Aiyo, it's only half a bottle of wine, and the two of you are still wasting time.”
"I didn't waste much time. I drank it all in a few mouthfuls. Village Head Pan, you said you have something to discuss. What is it?”
"Didn't you say not to call him township head in private?”Pan Baoshan shook his head." Old Wang, you really drank too much.”
"Not much. Fu Guangbo has a lot. I just sent him back.”
"His house is nearby and he needs you to send him back. Hurry up and go back. I really have something to tell you.”
Pan Baoshan brought Old Wang to his dormitory, closed the door, and asked him how much money he had left.
"I have tens of thousands of money left, but I can't make the decision. I can only transfer three to five thousand.”
"5,000 is fine too. It'll be easier if there are a few more 5,000.”
"What's wrong, Baoshan? What do you want to do with money?”Old Wang asked.
"Wang Tao needs it. His father urgently needs surgery, but he doesn't have enough money. I was just thinking that since we have a good relationship, I should help if I can.”
"Oh, so that's what happened. No wonder I felt that he was dead when I called him this afternoon.”Old Wang fell silent." How much more?”
"Fifty to sixty thousand. I have more than 10,000 yuan here. Including your 5,000 yuan, it's only 20,000 yuan. I'm still short of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.”
"I can take ten thousand!" Old Wang's expression turned serious." If we don't help now, when will we help?”
"Old Wang, you're really loyal!" Pan Baoshan waved his hand and hit Old Wang's arm." You still have guts."”
"Don't praise me. Think of a way to solve the problem first. It was not easy to borrow money these days. Even friends would not be able to lend money easily when it came to tens of thousands of yuan, let alone ordinary relationships.”
"Yes, sometimes talking about money hurts feelings. Old Wang, do you mean that Wang Tao has difficulties borrowing money from other colleagues?”
"Yes, he usually has a good relationship with you. He doesn't have a deep relationship with others. The reason why I lent him money was not because I was drunk and bragging, but because I was looking at you. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be willing.”
"No matter what, you're a caring person. Hey, Old Wang, can you do something with the public funds?”
"What do you mean?"
"Isn't there some plastic film peanut soon? The village has also agreed to subsidize it. Can you not report more and get ten or twenty thousand yuan for Wang Tao to use?”
"Ah!" Old Wang was shocked." Baoshan, everything involves public funds. No matter how much it is, it's a big deal. It's fine if there's no problem, but once there's an accident, the impact will definitely be extraordinary!”
"Then forget it. I originally thought that it was all the money for food and drink in the village. It's a good thing to give more to the people. Now that you mention it, it seems quite serious.”
"Then don't even think about it. In addition, you were the one who advocated the plastic film planting. Perhaps people with ill intentions would accuse you of stealing the hard-earned money of the common people. Then you would be in trouble!”
"Then let's borrow it properly. Old Wang, why don't we ask our friends?”
"Bao Shan, it's not that I'm willing to help, but with my current situation, it's really not good to ask for money. Whether I can borrow it or not is one thing, but letting my husband know is another.”
"Oh, I understand, Old Wang. Then let me think of a way.”
"Just think about it. Anyway, I guarantee that I'll give you the ten thousand yuan tomorrow morning.”
"Alright, the sooner the better. Go back and rest early. I'll be alone and think of a way.”
Old Wang stood up and frowned." I say, Baoshan, what does Wang Tao mean? Don't let him not appreciate it and embarrass us.”
"No, he's at his wit's end now. Moreover, it's fine even if he doesn't appreciate it. At most, he'll just get the money back.”
"Yes, you're right." Old Wang nodded and left.
Pan Baoshan's shoes were still on the bed. He was still short of twenty to thirty thousand yuan, so it shouldn't be a problem. If he really couldn't do it, he could talk to Huang Kaijian and ask the villagers to take out the money first. In the future, he could slowly deduct it from Wang Tao's salary.
Of course, there was another way to try. He could borrow money from Liu Jiangyan and Zheng Jinping. Pan Baoshan felt that he could use this opportunity to borrow money from Liu Jiangyan to achieve another goal. He wanted to see if she was really interested in him. Many times, money could explain everything.
As for borrowing money from Zheng Jinping, it was purely borrowing money. He had no second thoughts.
Pan Baoshan decided to speak to Liu Jiangyan first.
The next day, not long after breakfast, Pan Baoshan went to the party office and called Liu Jiangyan out.
"Liu Jiangyan, can I tell you something?”Pan Baoshan looked around as he spoke. He was afraid that others would find out.
"You have to tell me first." Liu Jiangyan revealed her usual smile. It was very beautiful.
"I, I want to borrow money from you." For some reason, Pan Baoshan suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Borrow money?" Liu Jiangyan frowned." Sure, how much?”
"How much can you borrow?"
"Me," Liu Jiangyan pouted." I can borrow…"
"How about 10,000 to 20,000?" Seeing this, Pan Baoshan immediately reported a number.
"Alright! I have tens of thousands in my salary card."
"Then 20,000 it is." Pan Baoshan scratched his ears." One year. Can I pay you back in one year?"”
"Sure, I don't need much money recently. Pan Baoshan, what are you going to do with so much money?”
" Oh..." Pan Baoshan responded, not knowing how to answer.
"I won't ask anymore. I won't ask anymore." Liu Jiangyan waved her hand." If you borrow money, don't ask how it's used, or don't lend it.”
Pan Baoshan lowered his head and smiled." Jiang Yan, I wanted to get the money this morning.”
"Then I'll find some time to go to the credit union to mention it.”
"Thank you for your trouble." Pan Baoshan didn't say it clearly. He felt that this wasn't something that could be expressed with just a word of thanks.
Pan Baoshan returned to his office and wrote a loan slip. He would wait for Liu Jiangyan's call at any time and pass the loan slip to her when he went over to get the money.
He did not contact Zheng Jinping. Pan Baoshan felt that it was better to have as little contact with her as possible. She was not a worry-free woman.
When it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning, Liu Jiangyan called Pan Baoshan and said that she would go back immediately after withdrawing the money and go straight to his office.
