poplar eyes

Chapter 170
When Wednesday arrived, Tang Xiaoya was staring at her phone, extremely anxious.She was not waiting for get off work, but waiting for Yuan Shaohua's call.

Five o'clock, five ten o'clock...

Time passed by little by little, and it was getting closer and closer to 05:30.

She had already had dinner with Du Hui for four days as agreed, and there were still three days left, but she really didn't want to go today.On the one hand, she was inexplicably flustered, feeling sorry for Chen Haoran, and on the other hand, she had heard rumors about her and Du Hui.

In order to go to X City to find Chen Haoran's father and check various hospitals, Tang Xiaoya took a lot of leave.Although she has completed the owed work by working overtime, she still can't stop the people talking.

Several female colleagues thought that Tang Xiaoya must be disliking the poor and loving the rich, so she secretly had a tryst with Du Hui on the pretext of finding a boyfriend.

"She is a foreigner who wants to take root here, but she has to find a local with a car and a house."

"I heard that Du Hui bought a house in Nanjiang, the full price, 80 square meters. The family's conditions are probably not bad, otherwise there is no money for the full price."

"Don't you all remember? Before our unit was merged, they had been in touch and sent flowers a few times. Don't forget that time... her boyfriend hadn't had any accidents yet."

"Yes, it seems to be, no wonder!"

…………

When these words were overheard by Tang Xiaoya, she did not rush to argue, but chose to remain silent.She felt that she had paid attention, but she was still misunderstood.

But what made her even more speechless was that the gossipers were very polite in person, as if nothing had happened and everything was business as usual.

Society is scarier and more complicated than school.

If they knew that the two-bedroom house in Nanjiang was just Du Hui's temporary residence, and that the real home was a three-story detached house, and both parents held important positions, the rumors would be even more outrageous.

"Xiao Tang, the section chief is looking for you."

"Oh, yes, thank you, Miss Ping."

Tang Xiaoya handed the phone to her colleague Zhang Ping, and asked her to help answer the phone if she had one.

In the section chief's office, documents rustled.

Quarterly reporting begins.

…………

At this time, Yuan Shaohua was still queuing in Q City, which was a thousand kilometers away from her.

It was nearly six o'clock when it was his turn.

"Quickly answer the phone, hurry up, hurry up Xiaoya."

"Xiaoya, what are you busy with?"

…………

Five minutes passed quickly, Yuan Shaohua was still waiting, but the next comrade-in-arms was already knocking on the glass door.

He had no choice but to come out.

The man walked into the phone booth cursing, but Yuan Shaohua didn't answer, nor did he get angry, because he knew that he had done something wrong and wasted time.

A few minutes later, Tang Xiaoya returned to the office.

She quickly checked her phone and found several missed calls.

Obviously, Zhang Ping didn't answer the call for her.

Troop telephones are single-line and can only be used for outgoing calls.Although Tang Xiaoya knew about it a long time ago, she still called back unwillingly.

Loss is inevitable, she slowly put down the phone.

While Zhang Ping was typing, she said nonchalantly, "Xiao Tang, Du Hui from the Human Resources Department was looking for you just now, and I told him you went to the section chief's office."

"Thank you."

"You two have a good relationship!"

"Just classmates."

"On the table... didn't you see it?"

It was only then that Tang Xiaoya noticed that there was an extra paper bag on the corner of the table, which contained four boxes of nuts.

This is Du Hui's new strategy for nearly a month, and he always likes to send some snacks.He knew that Tang Xiaoya wouldn't accept it, but he certainly wouldn't throw it into the trash can like the red rose, and the end result would be to distribute it to colleagues.

The method of buying people's hearts has a remarkable effect.

"Xiao Tang, I heard...he will be promoted to director next month, is it true?"

"I don't know, I don't know."

"It's only been half a year since I joined the job, so the speed is very good. I need to take care of it in the future."

Hearty laughter followed.

The Ministry of Manpower has relatively large powers, and is responsible for important tasks such as recruitment, job transfer, and review of the unit.The position of director, although the salary of the position is not much higher, is the goal of many people's struggle, and it is very eye-catching.

How could Tang Xiaoya have the mind to care about these things.

She distributed the nuts to her colleagues, then picked up the form and continued to record in the system.

Tomorrow is Thursday, she wants to go to City X again, and try to find Chen Haoran's father.

City B, Fifth Military Region Hospital.

Chen Haoran was asking about Tang Xiaoya's situation with an intermittent voice.

The answer was harsh, with many things about Du Hui mixed in.

Zhang Aihua told the whole story of the operation, even though she knew that she shouldn't speak ill of Tang Xiaoya at this time, she couldn't help it.

Since Chen Haoran had just woken up for a few days, he couldn't express himself well, and his limbs were also weak. Even simple turning over could only be done with the assistance of a nurse.

Fortunately, he survived the loss of both legs, but suffered three broken ribs and damaged intercostal nerves.It is estimated that it will take a long time to walk upright.

"Mother, the ring, and the silver chain."

"No, I threw it away a long time ago."

"give me."

"It's all said and thrown away."

Chen Haoran slowly raised his hand and reached for the tray beside the bed.

With a bang, the stainless steel bowl fell over.

Zhang Aihua's clothes and shoes were wet, and the millet porridge was scattered all over the floor.As a mother, she didn't care about herself at all, and instinctively grabbed Chen Haoran's hand and began to wipe it.

"Son, it's hot, does it hurt?"

"Mom...give it to me."

"It's all red, I'm going to get a towel."

"Give it to me now."

Chen Haoran frowned and looked at his mother. Although he was a little helpless, he still insisted on asking for the token between him and Tang Xiaoya.

He has been wearing pig head chains since his sophomore year.

Although he had the cheek to ask for several things from Tang Xiao before that, but none of them were given willingly.Only the pig head chain is of great significance, it was the first gift Chen Haoran received.

From the moment he put it on, he knew that he already had a place in Tang Xiaoya's heart. Although he was still very young, he was excited for a long time.

As for the diamond ring, it was a symbol of the oath, and Tang Xiaoya personally helped him put it on at the scene of the car accident.

Chen Haoran clearly remembered that that day his little fairy was crying heartbreakingly, very helpless, and he didn't even have the energy to wipe her tears.

Tears blurred Chen Haoran's vision.

He was desperate, afraid that he would never be able to stand up, never be able to hug his little fairy again, and would spend the rest of his life lying on the bed like a waste.

The self-confidence I once had is gone.

After a moment of stalemate, Zhang Aihua walked to the locker thoughtfully, and took out a cloth bag from it.

She opened it carefully, and the shining silver chain and diamond ring were dumped on the hospital bed.

As a mother, she eventually relented.

"Come on, mom will put it on for you."

Seeing his mother's forbearance made Chen Haoran very uncomfortable, and a sense of guilt surged into his heart instantly.

"mom……"

"Xiao Liu, take a look. I'm going to the cafeteria and I'll be back soon."

The nurse nodded with a mop in his hand.

Zhang Aihua hurried away with the lunch box, covered her mouth as soon as she got out of the ward, and cried bitterly.
