Chapter 183 The Old Educated Youth Suffer
Jiang Yu brought Xue Li's dinner and returned to the ward leisurely.
The mother of the little girl in the middle bed had already started packing her things. The man next to her was holding the little girl and asking her where it hurt, but he himself looked pale and very tired.
Although the rain was much lighter in the evening, the man was still in a hurry to pick up his child, and his clothes on his shoulders were still wet, and his hair was also wet.
You still want to take the child home in this kind of weather? Aren’t you afraid that the child will catch a cold and fever after getting wet on the way?
Jiang Yu didn't understand, so she handed the enamel pot to Xue Li first, "Chicken noodle soup, the noodles are cooked soft, eat slowly and drink the soup first."
Xue Li opened the lid, and the fragrant smell of chicken soup hit his nose. The master chef's chicken soup was skimmed with oil, which was especially suitable for patients to drink. Combined with the delicious noodles, it was simply delicious.
"Mmmm!" Xue Li said something indistinctly while drinking his soup.
Jiang Yu guessed that it was a compliment to the food being delicious. If it wasn’t delicious, the chef wouldn’t be able to become a great chef.
The couple next door quickly packed their things, and the grandmother in the bed inside asked them to notify her eldest daughter-in-law to come and pick them up when the rain stopped.
"Okay." The child's mother nodded, holding the package, and left with her husband.
Grandma had no one to talk to, so she climbed to the end of the bed out of boredom, closed her eyes and began to doze off.
After Xue Li finished his noodles, he drank up all the chicken soup.
Jiang Yu took the enamel pot, carried the thermos and went to the bathroom.
Not long after, the lights in the hospital were turned on. The yellowish light shone on people, which was just right for reading and reading newspapers.
On the construction team's side, the difficult harvesting operation is still going on.
The men carried the wet rice into the house, and the women gathered the dried rice ears together, tied them up again, and then laid new ones.
Because the rice ears were wet with rain and their weight increased, coupled with the heavy rain, the villagers' work speed was slowed down a lot. The work that was originally thought to be completed in a day or two was delayed again.
The villagers were very busy, but at least they could have a drink of water and take a rest when they returned home.
However, the female educated youth who lent a hand in the Second Brigade were not so lucky. After being assigned there by Cui Xiaofen, they were abandoned without any explanation.
I have no idea how to have lunch or when I can rest.
They worked all day long, feeling thirsty and hungry. As it was getting dark, the farmers they helped had gone to eat, but no one came to call them home.
He Yuanchao was so angry that she laughed. She threw down the rice in her hand, went out, put on her straw raincoat and left.
The family just curled their lips when they saw this. The old lady in charge said to her daughter-in-law, "When the captain's wife comes over later, you can say that we did all the housework."
"I understand, Mom." The daughter-in-law nodded and continued eating.
He Yuanchao passed by the family that Fang Qianqian was helping and shouted, "Fang Qianqian, go back and eat!"
Fang Qianqian was already very hungry, and when she heard the shout, she hurried out, "I'm coming~"
After the two left, Fang Qianqian asked, "Did someone come to inform you?"
"What the hell is a notification! Aunt Cui probably forgot about us a long time ago. After working all day, she didn't even give me a sip of water to drink. And she still wants me to watch over their whole family while they eat? Bah! Do you really think I'm stupid?" He Yuanchao was very angry.
But it's normal. Who can feel happy after working for a whole day without water, rest, or food?
Fang Qianqian frowned immediately, "Why is Aunt Cui so careless in her actions now? Let's go call everyone else out and go find her together."
"Okay." He Yuanchao nodded.
On the other hand, at the educated youth site, the male educated youth who went to harvest returned to their residence shivering. Looking at the cold stoves, they felt exhausted.
The smell of rice coming from the backyard made their situation even worse.
Zhao Chunjiang shuddered and said quickly, "Let's boil some water first. Wipe them all off so they don't catch a cold."
Everyone was soaked like a drowned dog. Chen Lei sneezed and took out a match from the small compartment on the stove.
Others took firewood, hay, and some went to fetch water, and soon they all got busy.
Just when they finished cleaning up and started cooking porridge, the female educated youth came back.
Each one of them looks like an eggplant hit by frost, wilted.
When Liu Qiang saw Fang Qianqian, his eyes lit up. He quickly brought out a bowl of warm water and asked, "Fang Qianqian, would you like some water?"
"Drink!" Fang Qianqian nodded quickly. Of course she had to drink. She was almost dying of thirst! After saying that, she took the bowl and gulped down the water.
Seeing this, the other male educated youth pointed to the kitchen and said, "Why are you so thirsty? There is water in the kitchen. Do you want to drink some?"
Then several female educated youth went into the kitchen and started pouring water.
He Yuanchao put down the bowl, wiped his chin, and said angrily, "We were assigned to the second team to work, but we were busy all day and no one even gave us a bowl of water to drink."
"There's no lunch to eat, and I can't even take a break." Chen Xiaohua was unlucky. The family he was assigned to had a particularly shrewd old lady. She would sit by the door and stare at Chen Xiaohua while he was working. If he stopped for a while, she would start swearing. All kinds of ugly dirty words poured down on Chen Xiaohua like water.
Chen Xiaohua was a person who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. After suffering this punishment, he could only swallow his bitterness and felt very aggrieved.
"Didn't Aunt Cui make any arrangements when she took you away this morning?" Zhao Chunjiang is now half the person in charge of the educated youth site and has some sense of responsibility. He became unhappy when he heard this.
"What arrangements are there? As soon as she heard that so-and-so was coming, she ran away. She has no time to pay attention to us." He Yuanchao became even angrier when she thought about going to Aunt Cui to report today's situation. Although Aunt Cui looked apologetic, she still didn't solve the problem after all. She just said a bunch of empty words.
"What should we do tomorrow?" Li Fenfang followed behind, and at first she was like an invisible person, but she couldn't help it and spoke up to protect her own rights.
Fang Qianqian sat down and pounded her waist twice. "Tomorrow we will leave at the usual time to get off work. Come back for lunch and rest for a while before going back." It is impossible not to do the work. At this juncture, if they dare to hold the team back, the team will dare to deal with them. They can't be stupid enough to give them a legitimate reason.
The male educated youth looked at each other. Chen Lei and the two newcomers glanced in the direction of the backyard and whispered, "Fu Biao and the others are not going. Are we still going tomorrow?"
Zhao Chunjiang frowned, "I don't want to go either, but Fu Biao and his team had a falling out with the team leaders yesterday, and even smashed the brick kiln. The two sides are in a mess. If we make trouble now, we might be assigned to their side by the team. I don't know if they will be unlucky in the end, but we will definitely be unlucky."
After all, they were educated youth from outside the village and had no roots here. It was very easy for the team to control them. Just withholding their letters of introduction and not allowing them to go home to visit their families was enough to make them suffer.
