Sikanzi is located in a remote area, and the main source of income for the villagers is from the land. They originally could not benefit from the dividends of urban development.
That year, the higher authorities issued a policy to vigorously build roads, connecting cities and rural areas, so that the grain from the black soil could be transported out of the country faster and farther. It was decided to approve several areas near the mountains for quarrying. So after many efforts by Kubo, Sikanzi caught the last train of development and built a small open-air quarry near the mountain to supply stones to the infrastructure teams in the county.
The quarry's output is expected to be 20,000 to 30,000 tons, at 2 yuan per ton. Although most of the money earned has to be turned over to the county, the rest is deducted from the village's development fund. At the end of the year, although not much can be distributed to the villagers, each household will get about 100 yuan, which is not a small amount of money in that era.
The most important thing is that what is paid here is cash, not work points. After the busy farming season, most of the young and middle-aged people in the village spontaneously sign up to do short-term work in the quarry to earn some money to supplement their families.
If the quarry develops smoothly, this will be a great thing.
Who would have thought that an incident of injury would occur shortly after the operation had just begun. If it was not handled properly, the newly opened quarry might have to be forced to close, which is something no one wants to see.
Kubo frowned. Although he shouldn't have, he felt very disappointed with Yu Hongqi who was injured.
Since the work in the quarry is all physical labor, the village committee stipulates that only men in the village will be recruited. There is no way a woman could get on top, let alone a female educated youth.
"Tell me, what's going on!"
The person that Kubo was asking was Wang Fengshou, the captain of the seventh production team in charge of the quarry operations.
His face was purple and he spat fiercely: "Secretary, I am really wronged. Lv Guochang asked for leave this morning and I approved it. But when I went to work, Yu Hongqi came and said she was taking over. I refused at the time. I even sent her out of the quarry in person, fearing that something might happen. No one knew when she would come back, and she happened to catch up with the blasting. It's really fucking unlucky. Don't harm others if you are looking for death yourself!"
Wang Fengshou was also very depressed. He had finally won the management rights of the quarry. He hadn't even sat down in the chair and tasted the sweetness when this incident happened. If killing was not against the law, he would have wanted to stab Yu Hongqi right now.
"Where's Lu Guochang?"
"Who knows where he has gone? He has been missing since early morning. I really don't know why the authorities sent these educated youth to the countryside. They can't do farm work well, they are lazy and always cause trouble..."
Under the scorching gazes of Liu Hongjun and Ji Wanru, Wang Fengshou's voice, which suggested that he had suffered a loss, became smaller and smaller.
"Captain Wang, you can't judge a whole ship by one stroke. Since we came to our Sikanz, we have been working actively!"
Given Yu Hongqi's usual personality, if Tian Xilan hadn't really failed to find Lu Guochang, he wouldn't have wanted to get involved in her affairs. He was afraid that not only would he not be thanked for his hard work, but if something really happened to Yu Hongqi, she would be blackmailed by Lu Guochang.
But since she and her husband are the elder brothers and sisters in the educated youth center, and since everyone else is hiding, they can only shoulder the responsibilities of the elder brothers and sisters and go ahead with it.
Of course, there was also Ji Wanru who was dragged here by them.
Thinking of this, Tian Xilan gave Ji Wanru an apologetic look. Wanru smiled and said she didn't mind. In fact, she had already made up her mind that when it came to the red flag, she would just go with the flow and not pay any money, show up, or express any opinions.
When they arrived at the hospital, Yu Hongqi was taken directly to the emergency room. The doctor asked him to pay the money. Liu Hongjun and others looked at each other, and no one wanted to advance the money. Never mind whether Yu Hongqi was okay or not, it would be difficult to get the money back from Lu Guochang. They usually had to think twice before eating meat, as they had no money.
In the end, it was Kubo who paid the medical expenses in the name of the brigade.
After the tractor driver and the village health worker delivered the person, they were sent back to find Lu Guochang.
"You must be hungry, I'm going to go out and buy some food!"
After saying hello to Secretary Tian Xilan and others, Wanru left the hospital.
People are like iron and food is the backbone. It's almost lunchtime, and there is still no news from the people in the emergency room. We don't know how long we have to wait. I can't stay with them on an empty stomach.
No matter what happens to others, she takes care of herself first.
She found the state-owned restaurant in the county and saw that they were serving dumplings today, so she ordered one with sauerkraut and meat filling without hesitation and had a full meal. She then packed 10 large buns with leek and egg filling for Secretary Xiao and others before rushing to the hospital.
As soon as I entered the hospital gate, I saw her tall figure striding out of the hospital and walking quickly!
It was as if he was greeted with a surprise.
"Ayao!"
