Chapter 197 Grandma Yang
Jiang Yu was thinking that she could finish giving the bicycle to the old man at the recycling station today, but when she was making breakfast, Chen Jinghan came and knocked on the door.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Yu poked his head out.
Chen Jinghan handed over the blueprint in her hand. "I drew this myself based on the wheelchair in the hospital. Do you think you can make one with different materials?"
Jiang Yu took it and looked at it. The wheelchair in the hospital was also made by someone. Although Chen Jinghan put a lot of effort into it, he didn't understand the structure, so he paid more attention to the appearance. But it didn't matter. She could make it and it wasn't difficult.
I just miss the bamboo in the south again. Bamboo is really perfect for making chairs and other things.
"Okay, but I have to go to the brigade headquarters later." Jiang Yu put away the drawings.
Chen Jinghan asked her what she was going to do?
"Ask about the reward for hunting wild boars. Ask Xue Li if he wants to go with you. Ask him how the compensation will be handled. Should the whole team pay for it together or should each team handle it separately?"
"Will the team still take care of our affairs now?" Chen Jinghan thought it was unlikely.
"There are so many injured people in the team, there must be a solution, right? And Xue Li's case is not that big, and it has no impact on the team, why should they refuse? Besides, we have to test the attitude of the team, right?" Jiang Yu felt that it was just a matter of asking, and it was not a big deal.
"Okay then, Xue Li doesn't have to go. I'll go with you." Chen Jinghan thought about how timid Xue Li usually was and decided to forget it. It would be troublesome for her to run around injured.
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "You should tell her first." Then he went into the house.
Chen Jinghan turned around and knocked on Xue Li's door.
In the fields, Zhuang Shouren looked gloomy as he saw that none of Fu Biao and his men had come to work. "This is outrageous! This is too outrageous! These educated youth are so passive and lazy about working. They are really lawless!"
Zhang Baoguo, the leader of the second team, stood by with his arms crossed, "Should we go call them?"
Zhuang Shouren was choked up for a moment, and finally glared at Zhang Baoguo unkindly before leaving.
Zhang Baoguo looked indifferent. Anyway, the team was so busy now, so what kind of person was he? Zhuang Shouren would forget about it as soon as he turned around.
In fact, Zhuang Shouren really didn't have time to bear grudge. Things in the brigade were difficult to manage, and his family was a mess. He wanted to ask his mother to come and suppress Cui Xiaofen, otherwise this woman would keep bothering him and it was really annoying.
But Old Mrs. Zhuang was biased and usually only knew how to ask him for money and things to subsidize her eldest son. If Zhuang Shouren wanted to ask her for help, it would be impossible without spending some money.
Zhuang Shouren squatted on the edge of the field, feeling that his head was covered with bruises and the environment he lived in was dark.
When work ended at noon, there were three such depressed men.
The Zhuang family, his father and his two sons, squatted neatly by the field, sighing.
Although the atmosphere at home was very depressing and the three of them were very reluctant, they still had to go back.
The lunch that day was still hard to swallow.
Rough mixed-flour steamed buns mixed with wild vegetables and shredded mustard greens cooked into a soup, and that’s it.
Zhuang Shouren wanted to throw his chopsticks several times, but when he saw Cui Xiaofen's gloomy look, he held back.
After dinner, Zhuang Dashan went back to his room and asked his wife why she cooked such dishes. As a team leader and two strong laborers in their family, there was no way they could fall to the point of eating coarse food.
"Mom said she wanted to go see a facialist so we need to save money." Dashan's wife answered in a low voice. She touched her stomach and realized she had not eaten enough at noon.
Zhuang Dashan frowned and lay on the kang with his back facing up, wondering when this day would end.
Dashan's wife was also very upset. Her son still needed breastfeeding, but she herself was not full and her milk was insufficient. She had been feeding her son with rice soup since the morning. This could not go on.
Although people here are gloomy, the educated youth site is bustling with activity.
After Xue Li finished eating the egg custard, Jiang Yu carried him under the eaves to bask in the sun.
After the last heavy rain, the temperature dropped rapidly. It’s enough to wear a sweater now, but it’s still quite warm to bask in the sun.
The ginger fish was eaten with mixed flour buns and scrambled eggs, and the green peppers were crispy and delicious. She was very satisfied with the meal.
"Yu'er, do you really want to go find the captain?" Xue Li felt that he might be turned down.
Jiang Yu nodded, "Why not? I killed three wild boars, so I should be rewarded."
"That's true." But... Xue Li really doesn't want to have any contact with people in the brigade now. After listening to what everyone said, her impression of the brigade has reached freezing point, and she feels very disappointed.
"No matter what, I had my reasons for smashing the brick kiln, and I have nothing wrong. If they give me a hard time for this, I'm not a pushover either. I'm barefoot and I'm not afraid of those who wear shoes. Let's just make a fuss!" Jiang Yu was willing to take risks. She was strong and not afraid of being at a disadvantage. If you confront her head-on, she would know who would suffer the loss.
"That's true, but don't you feel embarrassed?" Xue Li was a little embarrassed, so he was conflicted.
Jiang Yu was puzzled, "Why should I be embarrassed? Whoever is wrong should be embarrassed!"
Xue Li also understood this truth, but there was nothing she could do because of her personality.
At 1 p.m., Jiang Yu and Chen Jinghan went to the field to find Zhuang Shouren.
The man sat under a big tree and stared at the villagers working in the fields, like a supervisor.
Jiang Yu and Chen Jinghan walked directly in front of him and stopped.
Zhuang Shouren raised his eyes and looked over. When he saw Jiang Yu's face clearly against the light, he dodged slightly.
Jiang Yu spoke directly, "Captain Zhuang, I came here just to ask, what was the reward for hunting wild boars last time?"
"Reward? What reward?" Zhuang Shouren was still a little unresponsive.
"Reward for killing wild boars! Reward for killing three wild boars!" Jiang Yu repeated loudly.
Zhuang Shouren was startled and stood up quickly. When he heard the words "three wild boars were killed", he swallowed his saliva subconsciously and said, "Oh, yes, yes, come with me to the brigade headquarters to get them."
Jiang Yu and Chen Jinghan followed him in the direction of the team.
When passing by the cornfield, Grandma Yang cried out, "Is educated youth Xiao Jiang here to work? I'm not saying anything, you young people are really unreasonable. It's fine that educated youth Xue is injured and can't go to work, but what does it have to do with you guys? Now is the time to harvest, and every laborer is very important to the team. You educated youth should not think that you are superior to others just because you have read books. When you come to our countryside, you still have to focus on the crops and don't hold us back."
"You can't even finish two work points in the morning. You're the fastest and most aggressive one who rushes in when you see something exciting. How dare you say that others are lagging behind?" Jiang Yu laughed. "Everyone in your family came to work, but if you count them one by one, the total work points is less than 20. What are you so proud of?"
Grandma Yang was angry. She threw away the corn cob in her hand, puffed out her chest and rushed forward, shouting, "What are you talking about, you bitch? How did I hold you back? What's the problem with me being old and slow? You heartless, even if I'm slow, I'm still better than you worms! You ignorant girl, you're so bold that you dare to destroy the brick kiln in the brigade? Captain Zhuang, people like this should be taught a lesson! Put a sign on her and criticize her too!"
