Chapter 616: Reunion with old friends?
The other person was a young child, about ten years old.
Li Zhenmin slammed on the brakes and saw clearly that the car had stopped and he didn't hit the other party, but the other party was still frightened and subconsciously tilted his body, hitting the front of the car with a bang.
It wasn't a loud sound, but it did hit.
"How's it going? Are you okay?"
Li Zhenmin got out of the car immediately to check the situation. When he was about to ask something, he saw the other party quickly get up as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I'm sorry, I'm fine."
The child looked up, said something casually, dusted himself off, then turned around and ran away quickly.
Obviously he was not injured. It was like a child who didn't look at the road and bumped into the door. At most, it would just hurt a little, but he was not actually injured.
Even after the child ran away, Li Zhenmin still stood there, staring at the child's back in a daze.
It wasn't the child's behavior that made her feel strange, but the other person's accent and face.
The accent was obviously not that of a local, and the clothes he was dressed in were not bad. The most important thing was his face, especially his eyes. Li Zhenmin felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and liking for him.
But the time was too short and he didn't take a serious look at it.
He was afraid that the child was hurt but was too nervous to say anything, so he wanted to shout a few words. At this moment, he saw the child run to the entrance of an alley about 20 or 30 meters away, and then found a woman.
Then both sides smiled and turned into the alley.
Li Zhenmin frowned, he always felt as if he was very familiar with the woman's back, a sense of knowing her, but because of the distance and the large flow of people, he couldn't see it clearly.
Just as he was wondering who the other person was.
Chen Yun got out of the car and asked, "Professor Li, what's the situation? Is the child injured?"
Li Zhenmin came back to his senses and replied, "I'm not sure, but the car was driving slowly just now, so even if he was injured, it shouldn't be serious. I asked him and he said he was fine, and then he ran away."
Chen Yun breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "That should be fine, and the other parent should also be a reasonable person."
She also saw the child and a woman enter an alley several dozen meters away. The commotion here just now actually attracted quite a few people. The other parent must have seen it, but he didn't come over to argue. It must be because the child was really not injured. He was also a reasonable person and knew that his child was the one who made the mistake first, so he didn't come over to claim compensation.
"Let's go to the examination room first."
Li Zhenmin didn't think too much about it. He was just someone who looked familiar. It was not a big deal. There were too many people in this world, and there would always be a few who were pleasing to the eye.
Then continue driving forward.
What he didn't know was that after he drove away, the woman who had entered the alley entrance earlier did not go far away, but stood in the crowd, staring at Li Zhenmin's back as his car drove away.
"Mom, I'm really fine. I don't blame the uncle. He stopped the car before he hit me. I didn't control my balance well and hit myself. I'm not hurt. Don't worry."
The kid next to him spoke in a slightly awkward accent while rolling up his sleeves and trouser legs to prove that he was really not injured.
The woman watched Li Zhenmin's car disappear completely, then she turned her gaze back to her son, patted his head and smiled: "Xiangdong, how do you feel about that uncle?"
"Ah?" The kid named Xiangdong was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and replied seriously: "Very handsome, the most handsome man I have ever seen, more handsome than those stars, that's what I think. In addition, he is also very polite, but... I always felt that the way he looked at me just now seemed strange..."
"Strange?" The woman smiled when she heard what her son said first, but was surprised when she heard the latter part, and there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
The child nodded seriously: "It's not that strange, it's just... it seems that he is surprised to see me, and there is also an inexplicable kind of familiarity. I swear, I am not lying."
The woman's body tensed up a little, and her breathing became noticeably faster. After a moment, she smiled and said, "Yeah, I believe you, but don't be so impulsive next time. What if you get hurt?"
"Okay, I get it. I didn't cross the road on purpose. I almost sprained my ankle because I didn't stand firmly on the shoulder, so I rushed to the middle of the road. I promise I will be more careful next time."
"Well, otherwise mom and your grandparents will be worried."
"Okay, I'll pay more attention next time. By the way, Mom, you and Dad used to live here. If you have time, can you take me to see where Dad used to live?"
"This... there's nothing to see, they're all old houses. Let's not talk about it anymore, let's go home first."
"Mom, are you sad because you think of the past? Dad would be sad to see you like this in heaven. You have to live a good life. I, grandpa, grandma and uncle are here to accompany you."
"Okay, okay, our Xiangdong is the most sensible. Tell me what you want to eat. Mom will make you something delicious today."
"No, no, no, I want to eat the food that grandpa cooks, Lululu."
"Stop right there, little brat! Slow down! Don't fall..."
.........
Li Zhenmin didn't know what happened next. He successfully sent Xiao Caihong to the examination room, and then Chen Yun helped Xiao Caihong slowly enter the corresponding classroom.
Soon the loudspeaker in the examination room sounded an announcement of the upcoming exam.
After hearing the broadcast, some parents came out of the examination room one after another and stayed outside waiting. The excitement caused by their concern was incomparable to the college entrance examinations in later generations.
In later generations, many people sent their children to take exams and then left them waiting outside the examination room. Some people even said that they were over-indulging their children.
But look at it now....
In some cases, almost the entire family came. Due to the special nature of this exam, the ages of the candidates were also uneven, so there were many people with children waiting outside, and some were breastfeeding while waiting.
It’s more lively than the vegetable market.
Almost all police officers were dispatched to maintain law and order at the entrance of each examination center.
Li Zhenmin originally wanted Chen Yun to leave first, but seeing this situation, he finally gave up the idea and just asked symbolically: "Sister-in-law, do you want to go back with me and come back in the afternoon or continue to wait here?"
Chen Yun replied, "You go back first. I'll be fine here. I brought food with me. I won't be back for lunch. I'm really sorry to bother you."
Li Zhenmin stopped persuading him. It would not work to ask him to wait here for a whole day. He had other things to do.
He has started working on the transfer these days, and once it's done he will be transferred to the Railway Bureau.
"Okay then. If you need anything, don't be reluctant to buy it. Don't save money at this time. I'll go back first. I have some things to take care of. I'll come back this afternoon."
Li Zhenmin said this and then drove away. He still had some things to discuss with Yang Donghai about his new job.
Yang Donghai is the former director of the steel rolling mill. He now works in the Railway Bureau and is a director with real power.
Li Zhen still needs Yang Donghai's help with the public opinion poll work. The most important thing is to deal with some details. Only after they have discussed and confirmed that there are no problems, will they actually go through the procedures.
Otherwise, if the position does not meet Li Zhenmin's needs after being transferred there, further adjustments will be required, which will be a hassle, so it is best to figure out everything at once.
