After Jin Bo left, Sun Shaoping squatted on the steps and smoked another cigarette. Recently, his smoking addiction seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. How could Sun Shaoping not feel Hao Hongmei's affection? However, he felt more sympathy for Hao Hongmei. Should he explain it to Hao Hongmei? But how could he explain it? He didn't say anything.
Sun Shaoping rubbed his wet face and saw a doctor looking at him in the corridor not far away. Sun Shaoping almost didn't recognize Xu Aiyun, who was wearing a white coat.
"Auntie Xu…" Sun Shaoping quickly walked over and said.
Xu Aiyun smiled and said,"So it's really you!" I don't even dare to admit it…When did you come back? Why did you come to the hospital?”
"I just came back today. A friend is sick and came to see me. Are Old Master and Uncle Tian okay?”
"They're all fine…They often think of you. Come home tonight. I'm almost off work.”
"Alright, I was just about to go and see them.”
Xu Aiyun wanted to talk to Sun Shaoping more, but another patient came. She hurriedly told Sun Shaoping to come at night and went to the clinic.
Sun Shaoping didn't rush back to the ward because Hao Hongmei hadn't eaten all day. She must be hungry now. If he was around, she wouldn't be able to relax. He thought for a moment and left the hospital. He found a sales department to buy some cigarettes, alcohol, and some fruits.
After spending some time outside, when Sun Shaoping entered the ward again, Hao Hongmei had already washed the lunch box.
Sun Shaoping put down the things and said,"I'll wash it. You'd better lie down and rest."”
Hao Hongmei smiled and said," It's okay. I'm much better now. Why did you buy so many things?"”
"I'm going to visit an elder later. You can keep these fruits for yourself.”
Hao Hongmei quickly waved her hand and said," You can take them with you. I don't need them. I'll go back in a while. I can't delay your matters."”
"The doctor said that you need to be observed for a few days. Then you should rest for a while. I'll come and see you tomorrow morning.”
"Hmm…Alright, where are you staying tonight?”
"I live in the county."
" Why don't you stay here? There's still an empty bed anyway..." Hao Hongmei forgot how to say this when she said this. In fact, she didn't mean anything else. She just wanted to talk more with Sun Shaoping. However, she regretted it the moment she finished speaking. How would Sun Shaoping look at her? Would he think that she was not a good girl?
Sun Shaoping didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He smiled and said,""The accommodation has already been arranged. I have to show my face. In a while, the people from the County Revolutionary Committee will arrive at the hospital. Alright, I won't talk about it anymore. I'll leave first. If you need anything, just get the nurse to buy it.”
Hao Hongmei was actually staying in the cadre ward. Usually, only one person would stay in a room, so no one would disturb her.
The original West County was still the same. Spring seemed to have forgotten this desolate and barren land. The willow branches in Xi'an had grown new leaves, but the buds here had not yet sprouted. The drizzle suppressed the dust, and there was no dust on his face like before. There weren't many pedestrians carrying umbrellas on the road. Most of them wore straw hats and hurried along with their backs hunched. Occasionally, a truck carrying coal would pass by and splash mud soup. The pedestrians were so shocked that they immediately hid to the side and then cursed at the car that had left.
Northwestern people were like this. They would scold people if they couldn't stand it. They weren't really angry, but their mouths were free.
When Sun Shaoping arrived at the courtyard of the county revolutionary committee, it was already past six o'clock. His pair of white sneakers were burnt by the mud. He regretted letting Xiao Liu go back early. If he had a car, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
Xu Aiyun was cooking when she saw Sun Shaoping come in with something. She quickly put down her work and walked out of the kitchen to take it, saying,""Why are you always so polite? Don't be like this next time.”Then, he shouted into the room,"Old Terry! Shaoping is here, come out quickly!"
Tian Fujun walked out of the cave with a book in his hand and said with a smile,""We were still in a meeting this afternoon and were thinking about how to receive you when your Auntie Xu called. Haha, this saves me a lot of trouble.”
Sun Shaoping said," Uncle Tian, you must be joking. I'm not some big shot. What's there to receive? Where's Grandpa Xu?”
Xu Aiyun said," He went to the provincial capital. I heard that he was attending a memorial service for an old comrade. Xiaoxia went with him. Don't stand outside. Come in and sit."”
Xu Aiyun went back to the kitchen to cook, and Sun Shaoping was pulled into the house by Tian Fujun. After making a cup of tea for Sun Shaoping, Tian Fujun asked,""Is everything going well in Beijing?"
"I'm fine…I just wanted to tell you about Sister Runye…" Sun Shaoping took a sip of tea.
Tian Fujun waved his hand and said," We should respect Runye's own choice. It's good to go out and see the world while you're young. It's better than staying in the original Xi County. I support her idea. I'm also very relieved to have you take care of her…What's the arrangement for your work this time?”
Sun Shaoping smiled." I think the province has already passed down the decision of the Public Order Office. I'm just supervising the implementation. There's nothing else."”
Tian Fujun said," This is the best way to deal with it. We can't let the local authorities cause any more trouble, especially in a poor area like ours. You're from Huang Yuan, so you should be very clear about the local situation. Do you think there's a chance to report the situation in the old district to the central government?"”
"Uncle Tian, you think too highly of me. I only know a few people in the Ministry, let alone the Central Committee."”
Tian Fujun thought for a moment and said,"Can you help me bring a letter?"”
Sun Shaoping looked at Tian Fujun and said,"No."”
"You didn't even ask who I wanted to bring it to and you just rejected it?" Tian Fujun smiled.”
Sun Shaoping said," Whoever you want to write to, you can send it through the post office. You can't afford an eight-cent stamp. I don't know who you want to write to, but I'm sure this letter can't be sent through normal channels. Let's not talk about whether I have the ability to bring the letter or not. I'm not willing to take the risk. I'm timid, so forget it."”
Tian Fujun was suddenly very excited. He blushed and said loudly,"I just want the central government to truly understand the situation in the old district. As leading officials, we have this responsibility!”
Sun Shaoping handed Tian Fujun a cigarette and said,""So what if I understand?"
Tian Fujun didn't know what to say. He thought for a moment and said in a low voice,"It's always good to understand."
Sun Shaoping took a puff of his cigarette and smiled.""Who told you that the central government doesn't understand? Whether or not you write about the original West County's situation won't change much, but your situation will definitely 'change'. Don't you see what you need now? The revolution was going well! If you write this letter, won't the leaders eat flies? Don't write a letter. Everything will get better. It's only a matter of time.”
Tian Fujun nodded and said," I believe that too. But we can't do nothing with the state's salary!" You're also from the countryside. You know best what kind of life the farmers are living now. Every time I see those villagers who don't have enough to eat and clothes to cover their bodies, my heart bleeds. It's been almost 30 years since the founding of the People's Republic, and the farmers still can't eat a full meal. This is a disgrace! The shame of the country is the shame of us rulers!”
Sun Shaoping smiled." I don't know whose shame it is. Anyway, this debt can't be counted on me. I've been working here for less than a year." Listen to me, it's useless no matter what you do. The root of the problem is above. Your letter won't change anything, it will only trap you.”
Tian Fujun took a puff of smoke." Shaoping, you can't always think about seeking benefits and avoiding harm in everything. You have to be responsible!" As a party member, I can't escape some things. This is my duty. I hope you can help me.”
Sun Shaoping said," Helping you is actually harming you. I can't help you with this, and I can't help you."”He lowered his voice again." That person is asking for a final verdict on what happened all these years. Aren't you walking right into the muzzle of a gun? The weather will change this year, what are you anxious about!”
Tian Fujun was shocked. He extinguished his cigarette and asked,""Really?"
Sun Shaoping nodded slowly.
