hurry time, love slowly

Chapter 13 My mother can't help but I can
Mo Xiaobei pulled the chair closer, took out his mobile phone, opened the memo, listened carefully to their conversation, and recorded the key points.

From time to time, I like Gu Yan and Zhang Min's interview skills, thinking: Today is really the right time.

After Han Wei ordered coffee for them, he sat down to touch up his makeup and watch short videos to pass the time.

"What are you pulling me for? Let go. If you don't let go, I'll call the police..."

The noise at the door startled the people sitting by the door of the coffee shop.

Mo Xiaobei heard the sound and looked around, only to see a young man in a suit and leather shoes tugging at a woman's hand in disgust.

The woman said: "My son was in a car accident on the way to show a client. You are responsible. He is lying on a hospital bed and needs money. You can do it..."

"You go to the person who hit your son, what's the use of you looking for me?" The man was impatient.

"You are his leader, I have to find you..." The woman pulled the child beside her: "Look, this is his daughter, so young..."

"All the companies that should lose money have lost. He didn't sign a contract with the company, so he is not counted as an employee of the company. The company shows care, so it is not bad to compensate him," the young man said.

He broke away from the woman's hand: "A cup of coffee here costs 40 yuan, do you want to buy it?"

The woman was dissuaded by the young man's words, and she squatted outside Starbucks with the child.

And the young man sat down and complained to his companions: "She is so annoying, she comes to see me every day, I want to take a long paid vacation with the company, to hide from the plague god!"

Mo Xiaobei looked at the scene in front of him, and his knuckles became more and more distinct with the hand holding the phone tightly.

All of a sudden, she only felt that her chest was tight, her throat was blocked, her throat was dry and nauseous.

She quickly left her seat and rushed out of the Starbucks, and did something evil outside the door for a while. She looked back at the grandparents and grandson squatting in the corner, and tears welled up in her eyes...

The memory was quickly pulled back 10 years ago, that was the tenth time my mother took her to find the contractor.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, in Yuncheng County, the streets were hung upside down with blessings and couplets pasted with blessings. The shops were lined with red lanterns, colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and the breeze blew by. Balloons of various colors danced, as if expressing blessings to passers-by.

Although it's only eight o'clock, the street is full of people coming and going, full of traffic and voices. It's very lively. Men, women, old and young have joyful smiles on their faces.

Even Mo Xiaobei, who was squatting at the corner and waiting in the cold wind for three hours, couldn't help but feel a little warmth in his heart when he saw this scene...

Foreman Zhang was carrying breakfast, humming a ditty, and coming from not far away. Li Mei hurriedly grabbed her daughter and rushed out from the corner, blocking Foreman Zhang's way.

The other party was so shocked that the breakfast in his hand fell on the ground. When he saw clearly that it was Li Mei's mother and daughter, he looked disgusted, bent over to pick up the breakfast and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you haunted."

Li Mei smiled: "Foreman Zhang, this is the invoice and receipt for Huaqiang's remaining 5000 medical expenses, please report it..." At the end, he added: "This is the last time..."

Foreman Zhang glanced at the receipt in her hand, and said impatiently: "Sister-in-law, you are sincere... whoever is in charge of the New Year wants to pay... Aren't you trying to make me feel bad?"

Li Mei said helplessly: "I have been to the city eight or nine times, and every time you are not here, I also know that you are sincerely hiding from me. Our family really can't get rid of it now..."

Li Mei took Lamo Xiaobei's hand: "Look, this child suffers with me again and again. I have been here since five o'clock, and she was shivering from the cold. She didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so I picked her up." Woke up...I'm afraid you are busy..."

Foreman Zhang looked at Mo Xiaobei, who was staring at him, and said, "You know that the child is suffering, but you still dragged her to block me, thinking that I have a bodhisattva heart? You don't feel sorry for your mother, I feel bad for nothing."

After finishing speaking, bypassing their mother and daughter, and walking home, Li Mei hurried forward and said anxiously, "If you don't give me the money today, I'll be at your house... Let's not celebrate the new year..."

She turned around and looked at the crowded small supermarket behind her, tearing her face and saying, "You don't even want to do business in this supermarket, I'm not afraid of wearing shoes even if I'm barefoot..."

Foreman Zhang curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Wait, I'll get the money..."

Li Mei led Mo Xiaobei and followed behind...

"Why are you following me? I asked you to wait outside my house, but didn't let you follow in..." Foreman Zhang said disgustedly.

Li Mei had no choice but to squat down with Mo Xiaobei at the entrance of the supermarket to find an empty place. She looked at Xiaobei and asked, "Xiaobei, are you hungry?"

Mo Xiaobei, who was hungry, looked at his mother's concerned and tired eyes, couldn't bear to tell the truth, and shook his head sensiblely.

"Good boy, I have suffered with my mother this year. Don't blame me. Mom really can't help it. Xiao Nan is too young. If she takes you with her, she will feel sympathetic when she sees her..." Li Mei said.

Xiaobei didn't speak, but nodded, and stretched out his little hand to wipe away his mother's tears.

Li Mei looked at Xiaobei. Since her husband's accident, the child has become less and less talkative, has lost his smile, and has become extremely sensible... Feeling guilty in his heart, but there is no way, the poor's child has long been in charge of the family.

"When I get the money, Mom will buy you and Xiao Nan new clothes, and I will also buy you your favorite candied haws. Let's celebrate the New Year happily, shall we?" Li Mei coaxed Xiao Bei.

Xiaobei showed a rare smile: "Well, okay, thank you Mom."

When Li Mei heard that Xiaobei actually said thank you to her, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart, and her nose was sore.

She stroked Xiaobei's hair: "Silly boy, tell mom what to thank."

The mother and daughter just squatted at the entrance of the supermarket, waiting left and right, and foreman Zhang did not come out for half an hour.

Xiaobei saw his mother's anxiety, so he said, "Mom, I'll sneak up and have a look."

Waiting for a long time is not an option, Li Mei told her not to run around, come down and tell her if she finds someone, Xiao Bei nodded.

Xiaobei sneaked into the small supermarket while no one was looking, but he couldn't find anyone around, so he went straight up when he saw the stairs.

There was a small room on the second floor with noisy sounds. She pushed the door lightly to enter, and the smoke was choking, making her cough a few times.

She saw Foreman Zhang sitting by the window, with a cigarette in his mouth, playing mahjong with a table of people.

She went in and pulled the corner of the foreman's clothes. The man saw that it was Mo Xiaobei, and looked at the door, but Li Mei was not there.

Then he said: "Hey...how did you come up here? Why do you have no tutor at all, why are you running around in other people's houses...three barrels..." After speaking, he threw out the cards in his hand.

"You said you'd get the money for us," Xiaobei said.

"Isn't your mother amazing, and she threatened me that no one would celebrate the New Year, let her wait at the door, and I'll see what she can do to me...touch..." Foreman Zhang took a puff of his cigarette, and then puffed out the smoke again.

Mo Xiaobei was furious, but at a loss what to do. She looked at the people in the room and thought about how the contractor kept avoiding her mother over and over again.

She looked out of the window, her mother was squatting by the wall, beating her legs, and looking into the supermarket from time to time, her eyes hurt so much, tears fell down...

She thought about it, found a chair, climbed up the window, carefully grasped the sides of the window, and said loudly: "My mother can't do it, I can do it."
