Li Qiumei had a high school roommate named Wu Xiaoxia who worked at a thermal power plant in the provincial capital, and she seemed to be working in an office.

She remembered that once when they met in the county town, the other party gave her a phone number.

Li Qiumei ran back to her residence, wrote down the phone number on a piece of paper, and then ran to the post office to call Wu Xiaoxia.

"Xiaoxia, I heard that your thermal power plant is going to recruit a group of employees' children to work in the factory. Is that true?"

"It's true. After our factory employees are evaluated based on their length of service and professional titles, a group of their children are able to join the factory.

First send him to a technical school to study for three years, and then go back to work at the thermal power plant after graduation.

I was processing the paperwork a few days ago. 」

"Xiaoxia, I'd like to trouble you to help me find someone."

"Which one?"

"He Jun."

"Please help me check if he is among these employees."

After hanging up the phone, Li Qiumei nervously paced back and forth in front of the post office.

All I could think about was He Yuanzhou running desperately with the backpack on his back.

And those toes poking out of the holes in the shoes.

If, He Jun really has a spot.

Then she had to help He Yuanzhou get it no matter what.

This child is so pitiful.

Liu Hua came over on a bicycle, and Li Qiumei dodged and hid in the post office.

Unexpectedly, Liu Hua parked his bicycle at the door and came in.

He left the door to the telephone room open so he could see his bike.

This allowed Li Qiumei, who was hiding in the corner, to hear his conversation clearly.

"Mom, Qian Jiaojiao won't listen and refuses to have an abortion. I have no choice.

Her mother urges me every day to ask you to come over and meet her.

Well, this doesn't work either. She and her mother are not afraid of being embarrassed.

Both mother and daughter are shameless.

Now that the belly is getting bigger, we are the ones who are anxious.

I'm worried that her mother and she will go to the factory to make trouble.

That’s right, she fell three or four times, but the baby still didn’t get aborted.

OK, that’s a good idea, I’ll go back and try it out!”

Liu Hua smiled and hung up the phone.

After paying the money, he rode away on his bike.

This man really doesn't want to marry Qian Jiaojiao.

It seems that Qian Jiaojiao's dream of jumping from a bran basket to a rice basket is about to be shattered.

I don’t know if Qian Jiaojiao can protect her belly.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Li Qiumei called Wu Xiaoxia again.

"Qiu Mei, this He Jun is the deputy director of the second workshop, and he is on the list this time.

This time, the person their family reported was his son "He Yuanhang".

What’s going on? 」

Wu Xiaoxia spoke in a gossipy tone.

"Xiaoxia, don't tell anyone about this for now.

I'll come and talk to you tomorrow."

"Okay, Qiu Mei, when you come, remember to bring me two packs of lion cakes sold at the school gate."

"no problem!"

Li Qiumei paid the phone bill with some pain and walked towards He Yuanzhou's house.

On a street near the county government, go straight to the end and turn right. The third house is He Yuanzhou's house.

It was broad daylight and the door was open, so Li Qiumei breathed a sigh of relief.

He Yuanzhou had just come out of the kitchen carrying a kettle when he saw Li Qiumei coming in from the door.

"Auntie, why... why are you here..."

"I came to see you for something."

Li Qiumei looked around. Although the yard had a cement floor, it was littered with chicken shit.

An old hen was foraging for food with a few chicks by the courtyard wall.

The house was still a wooden tile house, and a big hole was gnawed by rats under the old wooden door.

The wooden planks upstairs were blackened by smoke, and the wall on this side was cracked.

Although it is divided into two floors, it doesn't look like there are many rooms, and the kitchen is built next to the courtyard wall.

A big rat was walking out of the kitchen with a little rat, and was strolling along the corner of the wall.

In a county town, a house like this would belong to a poor family.

A gray-haired old lady walked out of the main room leaning on a cane.

"Zhou Zhou, who's here?"

He Yuanzhou raised his sleeve and wiped his nose: "Grandma, that aunt is here."

The old lady paused and said, "Girl, please come in and sit down.

Zhou Zhou, go get a glass of water, and remember to wash the cup clean."

Li Qiumei helped the old lady into the main room, where a three-legged wooden table was placed against the wall.

On the table there was an incense burner and two white porcelain vases with two plastic flowers in them.

A long sofa made of coir and springs, covered with a linen bag, had several large holes gnawed by mice.

The spring inside is exposed.

A sofa towel fell to the ground.

Li Qiumei picked up the sofa towel and spread it out before helping the old lady sit down.

Hey! This is what the old saying says, a stone thrown in will not hit anything, the house is really bare.

I simply told the whole story to both the grandparents and the grandchildren.

The old lady was silent for a long while.

When He Yuanzhou heard Li Qiumei mention the name "He Yuanhang", he snorted coldly.

"That's the son my stepmother brought over. I think his name was Wang Qiang before."

The old lady slapped the sofa and started cursing with gritted teeth.

“This beast, he didn’t care about his own son, but gave the quota to an outsider.

He is trying to piss me off to death!"

The old lady lifted up the corner of her clothes and wiped away her tears.

"Girl, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me.

This unfilial son has never returned since he married that woman.

That woman who is the housekeeper only sends us fifty dollars a year."

Li Qiumei was shocked: "Auntie, you are old and young, how can only fifty yuan be enough?"

"That's right! Everyone knows that it's not enough, but they pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Alas, if I have to blame anyone, I can only blame my son for being heartless, which is why my daughter-in-law dared to do this."

Li Qiumei felt a little sad: "Then you should go into the city to find them.

If that doesn’t work, you can go find the leaders of their units.”

The old lady sighed and said, "Ah, I thought He Jun was my son after all, and Zhou Zhou's father.

When I die, he must bring Zhou Zhou to live with us.

If they have a falling out, I’m afraid they will not like Zhou Zhou anymore.

But now I finally understand.

He Jun is a black-hearted person. He doesn't even support his mother, so how can he take care of Zhou Zhou?

Forget it, forget it, let’s go to the city to settle the score with him tomorrow!

Even if it costs me my life, I will get the spot back for Zhou Zhou!"

The old lady finished speaking in one breath and then began to pant.

He Yuanzhou quickly poured a glass of water for grandma and patted her back skillfully.

This child is indeed a filial person and deserves help.

Thinking of this, Li Qiumei took the old lady's hand and said, "Auntie, don't worry!

I will take a leave tomorrow and take you to the provincial capital to find He Jun.

I must take this spot back for Yuanzhou."

The old lady took a deep breath.

"Good! Good! Good! Girl, you are the benefactor of our He family!

Zhou Zhou, when you grow up you must repay this aunt.

Did you hear that?

He Yuanzhou sniffed and said, "I know, grandma!

I will repay Auntie. "

The old lady told Li Qiumei about her family affairs.
