Li Qiushan: Sisters (short story)

Wang Man and Zhu Dan are good sisters. Wang Man is from Nehe, and Zhu Dan is from Helen. During the Spring Festival holiday, Zhu Dan invited Wang Man to her Helen's home. It's called Helen, but there's no sea. Many place names in the local area are inexplicable, such as Baiquan without a spring. The two agreed to go to Wang Man's home river together during the Spring Festival holiday next year.

After the new year, the two returned to the place where they worked, and Hucheng went to work in a foot-washing city on sixth street. Lake City's Sixth Street is famous in Lake City. Renovated a few years ago, the streets are two-storey or three-storey antique buildings for storehouses. Most of Lake City's entertainment venues are located here. There are foot-washing cities, song halls, massage parlors, bathing centers and so on.

These industries are a gray area, and there are ambiguous elements in them. The foot-washing city where Wang Man and Zhu Dan work is no exception. Some sisters did not work for a long time, they were favored by a certain boss, and they were raised; some were not raised, but there were also old irons, every three to five in the store to do the whole thing, of course, the boss is good. There are also customers looking for Zhu Dan and Wang Man, who are not moved. Zhu Dan and Wang Man face many temptations, but they always stick to that bottom line.

There are three bosses in foot-washing city, two of whom are oilfield workers who do not come very often. The owner of the store for a long time is a man in his thirties named Chen Guoqiang. Chen Guoqiang is a native of Tianshui, Gansu. Lake City is an immigrant city, the original oil field veterans are from all over the world, so Lake City people are more receptive and not exclusive. Chen Guoqiang has a wife and daughter in his hometown in Gansu, and at first he came to Hucheng to do beauty business, and the competition in the beauty industry was too fierce. Chen Guoqiang just arrived in Hucheng is to do the Chia brand, and later did the Oriental cottage brand, are not easy to do, Chen Guoqiang loves to make friends, met two oilfield workers, three people together to do some business, considering that the foot washing city business is good, Chen Guoqiang changed his career and two oilfield workers to do foot washing city business.

Wang Man ran to Chen Guoqiang's office with nothing to do, and he got along with Chen Guoqiang.

Zhu Dan saw that Wang Man and Chen Guoqiang were crooked together, so he reminded Wang Man that Chen Guoqiang has a home, and you are good to yourself. Wang Man smiled and said, playing, it's okay.

One day, Wang Man vomited badly and remembered that he had not come to menstruation for two months. I bought a pregnancy test strip and tried it, and sure enough, I got pregnant.

Wang Man told Chen Guoqiang the news of the pregnancy, and Chen Guoqiang proposed to beat up the child, but Wang Man was reluctant to do so. Therefore, Chen Guoqiang rented a suite for Wang Man in the first district of the new village next to Jingliu Street, which was a two-bedroom apartment. Wang Man did not go to work in the foot-washing city.

Wang Man, who was idle and idle, called Zhu Dan and asked her to accompany him when he was fine. Chen Guoqiang's rented house is very close to foot washing city, and it takes five minutes to walk. When there was nothing to do, Zhu Dan often came to chat with Wang Man.

When Wang Man was eight months pregnant, Chen Guoqiang suddenly disappeared, and his number on the phone showed a blank number. The other two bosses of Foot Wash City had to take turns to come to Foot Wash City to stare at it.

Zhu Dan once advised Wang Man to induce the child to give birth, but he had no choice but to induce it for eight months.

Wang Man gave birth to a baby boy amid the curse on Chen Guoqiang.

Zhu Dan did not work in foot-washing city during Wang Man's production time, and he was doing his best to take care of Wang Man. Wang Man washed his face with tears all day, and the milk was gone. Zhu Dan had no choice but to buy milk powder for Wang Man.

After sitting on the confinement, Wang Man said to Zhu Dan, Zhu Dan, we are good friends, aren't we? Zhu Dan said, yes. Wang Man said, I want to go to Chen Guoqiang's hometown to find him, can't be so cheap to him, you help me take care of the child, no matter if you find Chen Guoqiang, I will come back in a week.

Zhu Dan hesitated, she is a girl, can she take a good child?

When Wang Man saw Zhu Dan hesitating, he said, "You help me take it for a few days, please."

With that, Wang Man knelt down for Zhu Dan. Zhu Dan hurriedly lifted up Wang Man and said, at most, one week. Wang Man is very grateful.

The next day, Wang Man boarded a train to Gansu.

Zhu Dan took a child, and the hardships in it can be imagined. Zhu Dan read the calendar all day, and it was hard to stay up until a week had arrived, and Wang Man had not returned.

At first, Wang Man also talked to Zhu Dan on the phone, saying that he had found his home according to the address on Chen Guoqiang's ID card, and Chen Guoqiang had moved. Wang Man comforted Zhu Dan and said, I will go back soon.

Zhu Dan was busy with children all day, and suddenly she remembered that Wang Man had not called for a week, so she called Wang Man, and Wang Man's mobile phone could not be called. Zhu Dan looked at the calendar, and Wang Man had been gone for more than a month.

Seeing that Chen Guoqiang's rented house was expired, Zhu Dan had to take the child back to Helen's home, thinking that Wang Man had been to my house and she could find me.

Zhu Dan's parents and brother were a little puzzled when they saw Zhu Dan coming home with a child. I have only been away from home for more than two months and will not have children. After listening to Zhu Danyi, I understood what was going on. The parents blamed Zhu Dan for not thinking about things, and a big girl with a child was not good. Zhu Dan repeatedly said that Wang Man would definitely come to find the child, and he would not be able to take it for long.

Slowly, Zhu Dan and this child became more and more affectionate, and they felt more and more inseparable from this child.

Parents can't take Zhu Dan, at first the parents let Zhu Dan give this child away, Zhu Dan was reluctant to give it away, she always felt that Wang Man would come to pick up this child tomorrow, when the time came to give it to her or not to her?

Because he had to take the child, Zhu Dan couldn't go out to work, and when his little savings were spent, he asked his parents. Both the parents and the brother accepted the child and let Zhu Dan concentrate on taking the child at home.

Someone introduced zhu dan to the object, and the parents promised to bring zhu dan the child, but Zhu Dan did not agree and insisted on bringing it himself after marriage. Those who are in good condition are reluctant to find a drag oil bottle. So Zhu Dan's marriage was delayed. No matter how much they mentioned, they were all married twice, and there were children, and Zhu Dansuo did not look for them. Parents often sighed over this.

The child grew up day by day, and when he went to kindergarten, Zhu Dan could go to work, and he found a job cleaning dishes in the canteen, more than a thousand yuan a month.

After the child went to school, he went home and asked Zhu Dan, other children have fathers, why don't I have a father?

Zhu Dan was speechless.

In the blink of an eye, my son is thirteen years old. On this day, Zhu Dan received a phone call from Wang Man, who had not changed his number in all these years.

Wang Man said on the phone, Zhu Dan, are you okay? Married? Is my child still with you? I got married and had another daughter. Chen Guoqiang found me, and he was willing to pay 300,000 yuan to find his child. Zhu Dan, are you listening? feed......

Zhu Dan hung up the phone and couldn't answer it again.

Zhu Dan took the child out to work, and no one knew where she went.
