Chapter 106 Hospitalization

"What's wrong with your supply and marketing cooperative? We've been queuing for so long, but there's still no tofu and bean sprouts?"

"There's no tofu and bean sprouts. Why didn't you tell me yesterday?!"

"And you didn't even change the blackboard! Call President Zhang out, what's going on all day long!?"

The customers who were queuing to buy vegetables at the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative started to make a fuss.

On weekdays, I would queue up at around 7 o'clock and buy tofu and bean sprouts when the cooperative opened. But today, when the supply and marketing cooperative opened, there was nothing there.

Chen Yan was busy trying to comfort everyone, but her voice was too soft and was drowned out.

Zhang Jun was standing outside the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative with a gloating look on his face. He gave Jiang Meng a wink and left.

Jiang Meng quickly went to call Zhang Dongfeng out, "Everyone is making a fuss, what should we do, President Zhang?"

Everything was fine, and Su Qingyue’s processing factory has been cooperating stably recently, so why would it suddenly stop sending tofu?

Zhang Dongfeng walked into the hall and dealt with the noisy crowd.

"Don't worry, we are also waiting for news."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Jianming and several tofu-making team leaders appeared, each carrying a basket of tofu on their backs and holding bean sprouts in their hands.

"I'm sorry, President Zhang. There was a mudslide on the road from our village to the county town. The road is being repaired. Even oxcarts can't pass through now. We have to carry the tofu here today."

Apologize loudly to Jianming.

When the customers who were causing trouble heard the whole story, they all stopped smoking.

"So the road is broken. That's understandable."

"Look at their clothes, all of them are soaked with sweat. It must be difficult to carry the tofu from so far away."

Zhang Dongfeng took the opportunity to discuss, "Today's tofu and bean sprouts were carried by more than a dozen people. Don't rush to grab them. Each person should buy one or two pounds to leave some for the people behind."

"Starting tomorrow, we will temporarily stop selling tofu and bean sprouts. We will notify everyone once the road is repaired!"

Most people were reasonable. Seeing the villagers standing in front of the supply and marketing cooperative with their backs hunched over with exhaustion, they all agreed to Zhang Dongfeng's arrangement.

Chen Yan immediately wrote the notice on the small blackboard and asked the salesperson to inform the customers when they were checking out.

"Captain Xiang, you've worked hard. Come to the backyard and drink some water." Xiang Jianming and his group were really thirsty, but they didn't refuse.

"President Zhang, let's wait until the road is repaired before we deliver the tofu." Xiang Jianming drank some water and talked about the road conditions before leaving.

"Su Qingyue was almost hit by a rock, but Pei Huaiye blocked it. The two are still in the hospital. We have to go check them out."

"Then go quickly!"

Xiang Jianming added, "I will find a bullock cart for you in the city in the next two days. When the road is repaired, you can use the bullock cart for transportation first."

"Thank you, President Zhang!" Su Qingwu and Li Zilan thanked him and went to the county health center.

Su Qingyue woke up in a hospital bed.

Pei Huaiye's eyes were bloodshot, his beard was untidy, and his voice was particularly hoarse, "Are you awake? Are you still dizzy?"

Su Qingyue shook her head slowly, raised her hand and touched the gauze on Pei Huaiye's forehead and asked, "How are you?"

Pei Huaiye grabbed Su Qingyue's white and tender little hand, with a look of fear in his eyes, "I'm fine, don't worry, you fainted from fatigue and shock, and you got an IV drip, are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"

Su Qingyue shook her head.

Yesterday, Su Qingyue was checking the road conditions at the site of a mudslide, when she didn't expect several rocks to suddenly slide down from the mountain.

When Pei Huaiye saw that scene, he pounced over like a cheetah and hugged Su Qingyue, rolling on the ground. He protected Su Qingyue tightly. The person in his arms fainted from the fright, and he was hit on the forehead.

After the examination, Su Qingyue and the baby in her belly were fine, but she had been too tired recently and had to take two bottles of nutritional injections. The doctor told her that she needed to get enough rest to prevent miscarriage.

Pei Huaiye had four stitches on his head, but luckily he was in amazing physical condition. After a night's rest, he leaned against Su Qingyue's window as if nothing had happened, fearing that something might happen to his delicate wife.

"Drink some water. I'll ask Yuan Guang to buy food."

Su Qingyue moistened her throat and asked, "It didn't rain, so how could there be a landslide?"

"We asked Yuan Guang to check. There was a large groove on the hillside along the way. A lot of water was accumulated there. The landslide occurred because the rocks on the mountain were broken and the soil was loose."

"Shuangqiao Commune has organized several teams to repair the road. My eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law and team leader Xiang have arranged for people to deliver tofu and bean sprouts."

This is what Su Qingyue was worried about. "How do we deliver it? Do we have to carry a backpack or a basket to deliver the goods?"

Pei Huaiye tucked the quilt for Su Qingyue and nodded, "Tell the captain not to damage the reputation of the processing plant for honesty and trustworthiness."

There was a knock on the ward door, and Yuan Guang called out from outside, "Brother Pei, is it me?"

Pei Huaiye got up to get the food. Four aluminum lunch boxes were filled with food. Pei Huaiye washed his hands and took the food to feed Su Qingyue, but was rejected.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Su Qingyue greeted Yuan Guang and sat up. "I'll do it myself. You should eat quickly too."

Pei Huaiye had dinner on the third day of the lunar new year and went to the corridor with Yuan Guang to discuss something.

"The landslide was real, but yesterday I found footprints of vandalism on the hillside."

Yuan Guang's eyes flashed coldly, "The footprints have all been blurred with leaves and gravel, but you can vaguely tell they are leather shoes."

Something happened when the Qingshan team borrowed the tractor. It was easy to identify any man in the village who had a grudge against Su Qingyue and could afford to wear leather shoes.

"Boss, just tell me what you need done."

Pei Huaiye clenched his fists, his eyes were extremely scary, "Don't worry about this matter, I know my limits."

"Okay, the team has given you sick leave, but the captain asked you to return to the base today."

Pei Huaiye nodded.

Su Mingqiang and his entire family came to the ward. "Girl, you're pregnant, not to mention it. If it wasn't for Huaiye yesterday, how scary would it be!"

"Dad, I know. I was thinking of telling you in three months."

Su Mingqiang scolded his daughter, Li Zilan also scolded him, and Su Qingyue looked at Pei Huaiye at the door and pouted in grievance.

Pei Huaiye curled his lips calmly, "Dad, sister-in-law, it's all my fault. I was the one who stopped her from telling her. I'll take good care of Qingyue after I arrange a job for her."

They didn't really curse, they just said a few words on purpose because they were too worried.

Pei Huaiye spoke, and Su Mingqiang shut up angrily, "Your head is injured, why do you still want to go to work?"

"There's a meeting to be held. I'll go and arrange it. I'll also take some time off and come here."

Pei Huaiye asked two people to stay behind to look after Su Qingyue, and then he left reluctantly.

Yuan Guang looked at Brother Pei's eyes as they looked at his wife, and couldn't help feeling a chill and envy.

Recently, Brother Pei has been devoted to his family and taking care of his wife. He has been transferred from the front line to the commander. He is very busy and has not seen Dai Xiaohong for a long time.

Yuan Guang thought about it and quietly handed a letter to Pei Huaiye, "Brother Pei, please wait until my sister-in-law gets better and help me give the letter to Dai Xiaohong."

Pei Huaiye took the letter with a half-smile, "Come on, I'm waiting for you to file your marriage report."
