Chapter 19: Everyone Who Sees Has a Part
But the problem is that there is no machinery to dig reservoirs now, so we can only rely on pure manpower.
Construction of a reservoir, even a small one, will require hundreds of people to work for two or three months.
Secretary Song was troubled by what was happening outside, and his two daughters at home were also a headache for him: "I'll ask the second child to ride a bike to meet them."
After saying that, he strode out. As soon as he went out, he saw Gu Ci riding a bicycle towards him, with Chu Hong sitting on the crossbar of the bicycle.
At this moment, he was extremely displeased with Gu Ci. This posture was too intimate.
Except for those in a relationship, who would dare to sit like this?
Bah, what a little bastard.
Therefore, Party Secretary Song stood there with a sullen face, and said unhappily, "It's so late to go home, and why don't you hurry down? It's really outrageous."
Unfortunately, even after he said such harsh words, Chu Hong still sat there motionless.
I've been sitting for too long and my whole body feels uncomfortable. My legs are stiff and I can't move at all.
Fortunately, Gu Ci had long legs, and when the bicycle tilted, his long legs supported the ground.
Chu Dan, who was sitting in the back, was so scared that he screamed, "Dad, come and help me, I can't get down."
They are in a difficult situation. After falling and getting hurt, they have been sitting on the bicycle for such a long time that they can't move anymore.
Secretary Song also noticed that something was wrong and helped Chu Dan down first.
Gu Ci took the opportunity to hug Chu Hong and lifted her down from the horizontal bar.
In this cold winter, everyone was wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, so it was impossible for him to feel her slender waist like a willow or a vine.
It feels like hugging cotton.
But this was enough to make his heart pound.
He felt that his hand seemed to have consciousness. His mind clearly told him not to be so close to Secretary Song, but his hand seemed to be rebellious and insisted on holding the person down.
He quickly let go to avoid them misunderstanding that he was trying to kill a hooligan.
But Chu Hong's legs were numb, and standing there felt like being pricked by needles. She climbed onto his shoulders and gasped, "Ouch, don't move. My legs are almost broken."
On the other side, Party Secretary Song saw this and was extremely dissatisfied, but Chu Dan's legs were numb and she cried and asked him to help her in.
Fortunately, Wu Xiu and others heard the noise and hurried out to help the two sisters inside.
After they sat down, Mrs. Song asked them if they had eaten yet, and she quickly went to the pot to serve them some rice and vegetables.
It's just vegetables fried with cold rice, and it tastes pretty good.
Of course, there is rarely any extra food nowadays, and now with Gu Ci here, there definitely won’t be enough to eat, so Old Lady Song took out a few freshly cooked sweet potatoes from another big pot.
The sweet potatoes here are not yellow and glutinous, but white. They are not sweet and have strings. They are Chu Hong's least favorite food.
Fortunately, the sweet potatoes cooked in a large pot tend to burn on the edges, so they do have a burnt flavor when eaten.
Chu Hong also explained clearly what happened to the two sisters today, in order to let Secretary Song know what was going on.
After all, Secretary Song often has to go to the commune for meetings. If he doesn't know the situation, it would be bad if he runs into Captain Wu.
Secretary Song must be on guard and avoid them when he sees them.
Even if you can't avoid it and get hit, you have to know how to deal with it.
"Oh my," Mrs. Song said after hearing this, slapping her chest in panic, "I can't go to that place anymore, no matter how much money I can make. If I get caught, I'll be dead."
He put his hands together again and kept saying, "Thank God, I have escaped a disaster."
Old Man Song's expression also changed: "How can you still blackmail people for money? Isn't this a deadly enemy?"
Chu Dan said confidently: "It was Wu Wei who came to harm us first, and we cheated him with our own skills."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Chu Hong with sparkling eyes, as if begging for praise.
I was thinking to myself, if I behave well now, will my second sister give me a few dollars to calm me down?
Chu Hong understood the old man's thoughts and could only sigh: "Grandpa, they took the initiative. If we hadn't met Gu Ci, our fate would have been really miserable."
"We asked for money with confidence, so they were more cautious, thinking that we really had connections with journalists, and they didn't dare to settle accounts later."
Wu Xiu, however, looked at her second daughter differently: "Chu Hong is right. Whether it is bullying others by taking advantage of one's power or bullying others by taking advantage of one's power, the power is what matters."
"The more arrogant she is, the more cautious the Wu family will be."
And she was able to create a reporter out of nothing, which put the Wu family's lifeline in her hands.
Therefore, Wu Xiu couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a case of looking at a man with new eyes after three days of absence. You used to be heartless, but now that you have encountered something, your brain is working better."
Secretary Song also took the opportunity to praise her: "Xiaohong is like you, smart and successful."
Chu Hong wanted to roll her eyes after hearing this. Was he praising herself or insulting herself?
She simply nodded seriously: "Yes, I was full of water in my brain before, but now that the water has been poured out, I am smarter now, right?"
Chu Dan looked at her eagerly: "Second sister, that's a lot of money, you must keep it carefully."
It's a pity because I didn't contribute anything and I don't feel comfortable asking for a share of the money.
I could only remind her tactfully to divide the spoils.
Considering that I’m injured, you’ll give me a few dollars, right?
Chu Hong took out a handful of loose change from her left trouser pocket: "This is the money from selling pumpkin pie, Grandpa, please keep it."
He then took out a small stack of big unity from his right trouser pocket, counted out half of it and stuffed it into Gu Ci's hand: "Luckily I met you today, otherwise we don't know what would have happened to us."
Gu Ci was like touching a hot potato, and quickly stuffed the money back into her hands: "I can't take it, you guys are the ones who helped my family a lot, aren't you being distant with me?"
He firmly believed that sooner or later they would become his own people.
Also, her hands were a little cold and soft, which made him want to hold them and warm them.
Secretary Song was extremely displeased when he saw them holding hands. He was so anxious that his eyes were about to cramp, but they didn't let go.
He simply stood up and took the money from his daughter's hand, taking the opportunity to let them loosen their hands, and then he said, "Alright, this is all ill-gotten money, and whoever sees it should get a share."
"If you don't take it, then you'll be being distant with us."
Grandpa Song and his grandmother also chimed in: "Xiao Gu, if you don't accept this money, how can we still have the face to associate with you in the future?"
Hearing this, Gu Ci did not dare to refuse and could only accept the money first: "Then I won't be polite. If you have any problems in the future, grandpa and grandma, just call me."
He thought that as the New Year was approaching, there would be more kinds of food on the black market, so he would buy more food and send it over later.
He did not forget to hand the receipt to Secretary Song: "Uncle, please keep this carefully."
After reading the above content, Secretary Song was also very satisfied: "It is indeed very useful."
It stated that Wu Wei would pay 100 yuan in compensation to Chu Hong and Chu Dan for accidentally injuring them, and it also had the signatures of Cheng Ye and Wu Huaqiang.
