"Hey." Li Aihua pushed her bicycle over first.

She was about to ask the workers who were working not far from them.

Hu Lin followed behind, staggering past.

Li Aihua first asked where the administrator was, and then pushed her bicycle to find the administrator.

She was lucky. The manager on the construction site was easy to talk to, and his attitude was friendly and approachable.

He also helped Li Aihua find bags of cement to pad the backpack, and then shoveled sand with Li Aihua.

"Big sister, which village are you from nearby?

In the past two days, several people came to visit their husbands, and when asked, they were all from different villages.

There are quite a few villages near you.”

This guy is not a local. He speaks Mandarin with a heavy accent and is a chatterbox. He even talks while working.

"From Xiaohe Village. The place where you took me to get the cement bag just now, is that where you sleep at night?"

Li Aihua had difficulty understanding the Mandarin spoken by the administrator.

But she thought that the other person was so enthusiastic, so she could only try her best to talk.

And she was also a little curious.

The place looked very simple, built with wooden boards, and looked like a temporary accommodation.

She took a look and saw that the ground was a spiral iron frame with wooden planks lying on top.

There were no pillows or quilts, not even a door.

She wasn't even sure that was the place to stay.

Fortunately, it is summer now, otherwise I would have woken up from the cold at night.

"Yeah. It's not really a place to sleep.

We work day and night on the construction site, so we don't have much time to sleep.

I just lie down and sleep for a few hours when I can't bear it anymore. It's good enough to have a clean wooden board to sleep on. What else can I be picky about? "

"Then, can the human body bear it?" Li Aihua thought of Hu Xiaoyi who went to the city.

“I don’t know about them, but I can’t handle it.

I stay up late every day, every day, and now I am addicted every day. "

The administrator said, and then he shoveled twice more and stopped.

"This small basket is enough for you."

"Okay, that's fine! Thank you!" Li Aihua stuck the shovel into the sand like an administrator.

"Come, I'll help you lift it up."

As the administrator spoke, he lifted the backpack so that Li Aihua could carry it directly without having to lean over.

Li Aihua put it on her back and turned around to thank her again, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, serving the people is what we should do."

This administrator is also extremely patriotic and loyal to the party.

Before leaving, Li Aihua hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "What about the workers taking a bath and washing clothes?"

Hu Xiaoyi didn't bring any spare clothes. They only had one or two sets of clothes to wear in each season.

Summer clothes are washed tonight, hung out to dry overnight, and can be worn tomorrow morning.

If there was no place to wash clothes and take a bath, wouldn't Hu Xiaoyi have become smelly after ten days?

"There are water pipes there, and there are only men on the construction site. You can find a private place to take off your clothes and rinse off.

When you take a shower, you can just rinse your clothes and wear them again.

Hey, I'm talking about big sister.

You care so much about the lives of the workers, is your husband also working somewhere else?"

The administrator teased.

Li Aihua blushed and said, "Hey, he's in the city."

"The city is far away! We won't see each other for months."

"Not very long." Li Aihua spoke in a low voice, feeling inexplicably shy.

Hu Lin was listening at the side, so shocked that he looked constipated.

What's going on between Li Aihua and Hu Xiaoyi?

Are you in love with each other?

She doesn't seem to be like that in the past two years?

These two people don’t talk much on weekdays. You ignore me and I ignore you.

Could it be that they developed feelings for each other just because they slept in the same bed?

Li Aihua exchanged a few polite words and then left with Hu Lin.

It's already past noon and she's hungry. She doesn't know if her daughter is hungry or not, so she has to go back and cook.

There were many people in the county town, so Li Aihua didn't dare to ride a bicycle in the county town. She took Hu Lin back only after they left the city.

After noon, Hu Lin was also hungry.

She also wanted to have a meal in the county town, but when she thought of the huge debt she still had, she gave up the idea.

When they got home, they were starving.

There was nothing ready-made to eat at home, so she could only eat a few biscuits given by Yang Qing to fill her stomach, and then make a fire to cook.

After the two finished their meal, Hu Lin asked Li Aihua to give him the money from selling the prey.

He then took out the thirty cents he earned from selling eggs last time and made up the total of twenty yuan.

Li Aihua and I split up at the village entrance. Li Aihua went to Yang's house to return the bicycle, and she went to the infirmary to find Zhao Ming.

"Oh, what a rare guest!" Zhao Ming looked up and saw Hu Lin and joked.

He hasn't seen Hu Lin since the long-term deal was negotiated at the beginning of the year, but he has been dealing with Li Aihua every now and then.
