Chapter 44: What an irony
After sending Jian Shang away, Yan Xiao suddenly remembered a promise made last week, by the way, I happen to be free today, so I don't know if the little girl has fulfilled her wish.
For the people's market.
Holding the teddy bear that she bought at the gift shop on the road, she went straight to Liu Huilian's stall with a smile, thinking as she walked, Wenwen should be very happy if she saw this teddy bear.
Unexpectedly, the result was a failure, and the position where Liu Huilian often set up a stall has been occupied by other vendors. Yanxiao walked along the long street of the market twice with some confusion, but never found Liu Huilian's mother and daughter.
Didn't show up today?
With doubts, Yanxiao walked into Zhang Shufen's shop again, and the old man also liked this girl in his heart, so naturally it was a lively greeting.
"Auntie, didn't Sister Huilian come out of the stall today? I just turned around twice and didn't see them. After the greetings, Yanxiao asked Zhang Shufen with some confusion.
"You don't come here often, I don't know yet, their family has returned to their hometown, I guess they just left the day before yesterday." Zhang Shufen explained.
"Back home?" Yan Xiao looked surprised, "So suddenly?" I also heard Wenwen say that I was going to see her father last week, so I plan to come to see her again today, why did I go back to my hometown? ”
Zhang Shufen listened, sighed, waved her hand again, and said, "Don't mention her father, I guess it's her father who made trouble." Last week, I heard from Huilian that her husband was released from prison this week, and I was very happy for her. And guess what? A few days ago, her husband went to the market after he was released from prison, saying that he was accompanying his wife to practice the stall, and not long after staying, a group of people came to the market, like his husband's former enemies or something. opened his stall, and pointed to her husband's nose and said something like 'come out and live well, don't go out and say anything about what you don't have', the next day their house didn't come out of the stall, and on the third day Huilian came to say goodbye to me, saying that Wenwen and her father also came out anyway, and they planned to go back to their hometown. No, I haven't seen them since then. ”
nodded thoughtfully, shook the teddy bear in his hand with a smile, and then said with some regret, "I originally wanted to give Wenwen as a gift, but it seems that I can't give it away...... I didn't expect them to leave, but unfortunately I couldn't say goodbye. ”
Zhang Shufen patted Yan Xiao's shoulder and comforted, "You young people, you will see you again with that fate!" ”
Saying goodbye to the old man and walking on the way back with the teddy bear in his arms, Yanxiao couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, gathering and scattering is really impermanent. I hope that Wenwen, who has returned to his hometown, can grow up happily in the company of his parents.
……
Seeing that the matter of Wang Qinglin's father and son has come to an end. Yan Xiao thought that maybe it was time to start something else.
As soon as she arrived at the newspaper office on Monday morning, Yanxiao went directly to knock on the door of the editor-in-chief.
Raising his head from the pile of manuscripts and glancing at Yan Xiao standing in front of him, the editor-in-chief Li Bing was puzzled, didn't this kid just rest at home for two days? Why does this momentum seem to be more and more majestic and high-spirited?
Handing a stack of materials printed in his hand to the editor-in-chief, he explained with a smile, "Editor Li, this is my new news topic, please take a look." ”
"Hmm." Li Bing, who was immersed in work again, took the information casually and put it on the table, "I'll finish the one at hand first, you go out first, I'll call you if you have any questions." ”
"Okay." Nodding, Yan Xiao turned around and planned to go out.
Inadvertently turned his head and glanced at the information at hand, and the huge black headline on the cover suddenly caught Li Bing's eyes. It reads, "Pollution causes illness to nearby residents, when will the problem of Xinyuan pollution be solved?"
"Wait a minute!" Yan Xiao, who had already stepped out of the editor-in-chief's office with one foot, was called back again.
The pen in his hand tapped on the two lines of titles on the information on the side, Li Bing raised his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him with a blank face, "Is this your choice?" ”
The words and smiles were incomprehensible, nodded and replied, "Yes, Bian Li, is there anything wrong with the title?" ”
picked up the information and threw it to the table where Yan Xiao was, Li Bing looked a little cold at the moment, "The topic selection is not good, and the re-election will be killed." ”
The second monk was puzzled, and hurriedly picked up his things from the table and looked through them quickly, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, there was nothing wrong with this.
Li Bing behind the desk had already lowered his head again and ignored her, but Yan Xiao was suddenly a little unwilling, "Editor Li, can I ask why my topic was killed?" ”
The pen that was writing something suddenly paused, and Li Bing asked without raising his head, "Have you done an investigation?" ”
Yanxiao explained anxiously, "I have done a survey, and many elderly people in several villages around there are suffering from lung cancer, and the family members said that the hospital doctors suspect that it is caused by pollution, and there are many children ......."
"Doubtful?" Before Yanxiao's words were finished, Li Bing looked at her impatiently and interrupted her bluntly, "Yanxiao, journalists are seeking truth from facts, don't use words like doubt, unfounded news, even if it is sent out, it will only make others question the professionalism of our newspaper!" ”
After finishing speaking, the little girl opposite saw that her little face was already red, and her eyebrows were full of disbelief and unwillingness.
Li Bing couldn't help lowering his eyes and sighing, hey, young man!
When she raised her eyes again, Li Bing had already changed into a kind look, she stretched out her finger and pointed to the things that were scattered on her table just now, and her tone was a little serious, "Let me tell you this, Yanxiao." This year's environmental protection joint investigation has just ended. As a result of the joint investigation, Xinyuan Group was highly praised by the above both in terms of raw materials and sewage equipment. Therefore, the leader personally arranged the layout of the past few days, and there was a full page dedicated to reporting Xinyuan's environmental protection contributions. I'm working on this right now. So...... Your pitch will not be approved. ”
Looking at the little girl's clear eyes seriously, Li Bing continued to speak, "I said so, do you understand?" ”
After sleepwalking out of the editor-in-chief's office, when Yan Xiao returned to his seat, he was still a little shocked and couldn't react.
The blood that Wang Qinglin coughed up on her clothes seemed to be still seared in her mind. Wang Xiumei said that there are many elderly people who are like this, risking their innocent lives to pay for the crimes of a businessman who seeks personal gain.
Sitting in front of the computer with his head down, there are still those big words on the wall not far away, and everyone who comes and goes to the newspaper office will see it every day when they go to and from work.
Timely, truthful, effective, objective and impartial.
lowered his head and looked at the manuscript that had been killed in his hand, and somehow, Yanxiao at this time suddenly felt a little ironic and a little unspeakably sad.
