Chapter 491 It’s Time to Mention Xu Damao
"Uncle, take a rest. I'm going to do some work."
Chen Jianye waved his hand and walked out of the courtyard carrying his bicycle.
......
dong dong!
"Uncle Mei, Aunt Wang, I'm Chen Jianye."
Chen Jianye came to the door of Mei Yubo's house and knocked.
"Jianye, why are you here so late?"
Aunt Wang opened the door.
"I just went to the Public Security Bureau with someone from our compound to ask a question, and I ran into Uncle Li Zhenwei."
"He said Uncle Mei wasn't feeling well and hadn't been to work for two days, so I thought I'd come over to see him."
Chen Jianye gave a simple explanation.
"Hey, what could possibly happen to him? You kid, you made a special trip here."
Aunt Wang was very happy. She entered the house and stood at the stairs calling Mei Yubo to come down, saying that Chen Jianye had arrived.
Chen Jianye put the gifts he brought on the table.
"Jianye, what's the matter?"
Mei Yubo went downstairs wearing a thick cotton jacket.
"Jianye went to the Public Security Bureau to ask something, and Lao Li said that you were not feeling well and had not been to work for two days."
"The child took it to heart and came to see you."
Aunt Wang said with a smile.
"Hey, Lao Li really is just talking nonsense."
"I have an old problem, he knows it, why would he bother you?"
A smile appeared on Mei Yubo's face.
As we get older, we have a stronger need for family affection.
Mei Yubo's son and daughter were not around, so when he was sick, the old couple relied on each other for support.
When Chen Jianye came over, Mei Yubo and Aunt Wang said that it was unnecessary, but they felt very warm in their hearts.
Which old person doesn’t want the younger generations to care about him or her?
"No need to bother. I can ride my bike and be here in less than half an hour."
"Uncle Mei, have you been to the hospital?"
Chen Jianye asked with concern.
"I looked, why didn't I look? There are shrapnel stuck in my chest bones, and they can't be taken out."
"It's fine in the summer, but it hurts in the winter. It's been like this for more than ten years."
Mei Yubo sat on a wooden sofa, holding an enamel pot.
"We can go to a foreign country to get it removed by surgery. Hong Kong should be able to do it too."
Chen Jianye said.
"You know better."
Mei Yubo looked at Chen Jianye in surprise and smiled: "I'm already this old, why should I bother?"
"There are dozens of old guys like me. They all go abroad for surgery. How much does it cost?"
"The country's foreign exchange reserves are so precious that they must be spent wisely."
Chen Jianye didn't know what to say.
The spirit of the older generation is indeed noble.
They would rather suffer the pain, endure and endure it than spend the country's money.
Foreign exchange is the money a country earns from selling goods.
To buy supplies from abroad, we cannot use domestic money, so we can only use foreign money, which is saved up bit by bit.
"You have won the honor of being an advanced person in the city. I saw it in the newspaper. That's great."
"If your parents knew about this, they would be happy for you."
Mei Yubo changed the subject.
"It's all the leadership that gave us the opportunity, and the technical workforce at the steel mill is of high quality."
"By the way, Uncle Mei, I have passed the eighth-level fitter exam. Chief Engineer Su transferred me to the technical office as deputy section chief, managing a technical team."
Chen Jianye talked about his job changes.
"That's a good thing. It's good to be a technician. You don't have to manage people. Managing people is too much trouble."
"You have to work hard to break the technological blockade that foreign countries block against us."
"When we can sell our high-end technology to foreign countries and earn a lot of foreign exchange, I can go abroad for surgery to remove the shrapnel in my body."
Mei Yubo's tone was very excited.
"I will definitely work hard."
Chen Jianye said seriously.
The two chatted for more than ten minutes, and Chen Jianye rode away on his bike, carrying a cloth bag full of food.
Aunt Wang took all the brown sugar, white flour and sweet potatoes he brought.
I stuffed some candies and malted milk into the cloth bag.
It is said that it was prepared for Chen Jianye’s child.
Chen Jianye has no choice but to accept it.
After returning to the courtyard, Chen Jianye took out the things in the cloth bag and told Ran Qiuye about Uncle Mei.
"Uncle Mei and his wife are really good people. In the future, if you help the country make a lot of money, you can let Uncle Mei go abroad for medical treatment with peace of mind."
Ran Qiuye also sighed.
It must be very painful to have shrapnel inside the body.
But those old soldiers gritted their teeth and persevered.
"Most definitely."
Chen Jianye stroked Ran Qiuye's hair.
Time flies and four days have passed.
Lou Xiao'e went to the Public Security Bureau early and asked the police about Xu Damao.
Public security personnel informed Lou Xiaoe that Xu Damao was still under interrogation and the case was kept confidential.
Lou Xiao'e had no choice but to return to the courtyard.
When Chen Jianye came back from get off work, Lou Xiao'e went to Chen's house again.
Chen Jianye did not refuse and took Lou Xiaoe to the Public Security Bureau.
On the bicycle, Lou Xiao'e smelled a scent that she thought was very pleasant.
It was neither fragrant nor sweet, but it made her want to take a deep breath. How happy she would be if she could bury herself in Chen Jianye's chest.
When they arrived at the Public Security Bureau, Chen Jianye talked to the police officers.
The public security personnel asked Chen Jianye to wait.
Detention room.
The public security personnel opened the iron gate and called out Xu Damao's name.
No one responded.
"Xu Damao!"
"Xu Damao!"
The public security officer raised his voice.
"Here, here."
Xu Damao woke up in a daze and responded loudly.
"come out."
The public security officer shouted.
"Comrade, what are you going to do next? Are you going to let me go?"
Xu Damao quickly ran out of the detention area and asked expectantly.
He was wearing prison clothes and was shivering with cold. He hugged his arms tightly together and stamped his feet on the ground quickly to keep warm.
"That's right. You committed a crime in the women's restroom. Your supervisor has approved a seven-day detention as punishment. Now the time is up."
The public security officer said.
Xu Damao was about to cry.
Staying in the detention area, not being able to eat or sleep well, and stinking all over, it was simply not a life for a human being.
He also has to worry all the time that the police will convict him and lock him up for a few years.
Finally, finally it’s over.
The public security personnel took Xu Damao to the handover area, asked Xu Damao to wait, and then went to the hall to find Chen Jianye and Lou Xiaoe.
"You can take him away now, but you have to prepare a set of clothes for him. He was naked when he arrived."
"We have to replenish the food he ate these days."
The public security officer said.
"Sure. Can I see my husband?"
Lou Xiao'e replied quickly.
"can."
The public security officer nodded.
Soon, Chen Jianye and Lou Xiaoe saw Xu Damao in the handover area.
"Da Mao."
When Lou Xiao'e saw Xu Damao with disheveled hair and a sallow face, she couldn't stop crying.
"Xiao'e."
"Jianye."
Xu Damao was very excited. Seeing the two of them, he regained some of his energy.
"Brother Damao, the police said you can go out now."
Chen Jianye said with a smile.
"Thanks to Jianye, he made several trips for your sake."
"If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be able to get out."
Lou Xiao'e said nice things.
"Jianye, you are really my good brother."
"A friend in need is a friend indeed. I, Xu Damao, have decided that you are my brother."
Xu Damao said with a firm look on his face.
"Brother Damao, this is what I should do. It was Sister Xiao'e who came to my house to ask for help, so I followed her a few times."
"You should thank Sister Xiao'e."
Chen Jianye said calmly.
Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e hugged each other and cried bitterly.
