Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Worth the New Life
In this era of little entertainment, anything slightly exciting can drift into thousands of households like snowflakes in winter.
Especially since this incident involved gold, nudity, red armbands, and an old landlord. Although no one died, it was still just as bizarre.
Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidi, who are never late, were late today as expected.
But their respective factory leaders did not punish them. At most, Wang Laidi's leader pretended to reprimand them out of habit, but his main purpose was to inquire about the news and get first-hand gossip.
"I heard something happened in your hospital?"
"Is there a guy named Niu in your courtyard who was stripped naked and lying on gold?"
"I heard that there is a guy named Niu in your hospital who committed a crime in the G Committee and was arrested and taken to the police station?"
Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidie felt ashamed at first, after all, in this era, collective honor was the most important thing.
If someone commits a crime in the same alley or yard, it may have a huge impact on the reputation of their yard, their alley, and even the machinery factory. In recent years, their factory yard will definitely not be eligible for the Red Flag Model or Five Good Families awards.
No matter how ashamed they were, they were numb to the question after being asked a hundred or eighty times a day and having to repeat the answer a hundred or eighty times. They still had to explain frequently that the Ye family and the Niu family had never had any dealings with each other, and had never had any conflicts with the Niu family's young man's sneaky behavior.
Another day passed, the truth was still unknown, but the rumor changed drastically after being spread by many people.
The man in blue uniform came twice again. The head of the Niu family was sent back, but Daniu was detained in the police station and was not released. I heard that he and that group of people would be sent to the most difficult and tiring farm to open up wasteland after being sentenced, and it is possible that they will never come back in their lifetime.
The Niu family was also greatly affected and was labeled as one of the five black categories that they once despised the most.
All the temporary jobs of the family members were lost, and the regular jobs were transferred to collect manure. If their boss had not been smart enough to spend all his savings and favors, and used his connections to quickly put an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with Da Niu, the situation would have been even worse than it is now.
There are people in their family who sympathize with them.
After seeing how old Mrs. Niu felt that her only granddaughter was in a worse state after losing her grandson, I can still express my sympathy. I can only say that these people are blind and have evil hearts.
No matter what, despite spending so much manpower and effort, the Public Security Bureau still failed to find the murderer.
They mainly focus their efforts on two aspects: one is to rob other thieves, and the other is to take revenge on those whom they robbed. Both of these speculations are not completely wrong.
Some people noticed the killer's advanced martial arts skills and strong mentality, and speculated that the murder was a spy.
This is not a completely blind guess. The Ye Kingdom has been established for less than 20 years. During this period, there are many spies in the country, including remnants, foreigners, defectors, and those who take advantage of the situation. There are all kinds of spies.
Because they guessed that it was the spy, the people above took it very seriously. They didn't want a spy team to appear and disappear in the city. What if they hurt someone who shouldn't be hurt? Wouldn't it cause chaos in the whole country?
So the reaction from above was to try their best to catch the enemy. Under professional and rigorous review, all the evil things that Daniu had done over the years were uncovered one by one.
There is no doubt that a criminal trial awaits them.
Like Daniu and his friends, the Red Sleeves Team also suffered a severe blow. Not only were many young people who were in the limelight taken as examples and sent away for reform or to the countryside, but the remaining volunteer teams were also forced to disband.
Not only that, Damao and his gang also successfully bit out their superiors like Triangle Eyes, and pulled out one evil person after another. Many people who had become rich by reporting robbery under the banner finally fell as well.
The spies actually caught one or two gang members, which was a pleasant surprise.
The wind direction in the city is much clearer.
Because Taipei was the capital, this cool breeze blew across the country. Although we couldn't expect every corner to be filled with light, it did affect the fate of a few people and saved some people who were about to or would be in trouble.
The above has little to do with Ye Yu, as they are all things that happened after she left Yanjing City. But if she knew about these butterfly effects, she would definitely be happy for these unexpected good things that followed. Does this count as contributing her own little bit of strength to this era?
It’s worth it to be the new 1.0.
These are all things that happened later. Now, as the day of going to the countryside draws closer, the atmosphere in the Ye family is inevitably filled with a sense of sadness of parting.
The person who was most relaxed in the family was probably Ye Yu, the person involved. Even Ye Weiguo, the youngest, felt a little reluctant, although he would not show it.
Wang Lai Di is helping Ye Yu sew clothes.
Ye Yu tried to learn from the side, but he only roughly, maybe, possibly knew it with his eyes, but his hands were still a little disabled. In particular, he was missing the important part of cutting with machines that Wang Lai-die had learned in the textile factory. He was very unconfident about being able to do it himself in the future.
So I gave her a sincere suggestion: "Mom, can you make the clothes a little bigger? I'm still growing!"
Wang Lai Di hissed.
Because they were together every day, she really didn't notice it. Now that she was reminded, she suddenly realized that her daughter had grown half a head taller in less than half a month. The height of her couple was not short but not tall in this era, so why did her third daughter grow so fast?
If you don't understand, don't think about it. Wang Lai Di said with a look of disdain: "No wonder you eat so much. If you grow taller, you will be over 1.7 meters tall. I wonder if you can get married."
What?
There is such a good thing!
Then he must be about 1.8 meters tall, right?
"Hey."
Ye Yu shook his head.
Wang Lai Di added a few inches to her clothes and trousers. Fortunately, she first sewed old clothes into new ones, so there was enough fabric and it was not troublesome. When Ye Yu grew taller, she could remove the hidden threads, stretch the folded clothes, and wear them.
"It's done. Try it on and see for yourself."
"Wow, mom, you are so skillful." Because they were in their own room, Ye Yu took the clothes and pants and put them on.
To be honest, the clothes of this era are a bit rustic when viewed from the perspective of later generations. Even the imitation of the ancient style has fine-tuned details. In addition, the clothes are cut too big and are not close-fitting at all. However, they look good on people. They look like a piece of linen, which is not good-looking but definitely not ugly.
Ye Yu is not only good-looking, but also has a good figure. She is also self-aware of her beauty. She took a small mirror and looked herself up and down, and shamelessly boasted: "The clothes are beautiful and I am even more beautiful. When I wear this, I look like a fairy."
"Pfft!" Wang Lai Di had never seen such a narcissistic person before. She was amused and burst into laughter. She rolled her eyes at her unhappily. Even though she thought her daughter was really good, she still wanted to criticize her. "You, you think you are a fairy? Whatever you wear will ruin your clothes."
“Hehe.”
Ye Yucai didn't believe it.
Wang Lai Di went to make the remaining clothes. With the first sample, it would be easier to make the clothes afterwards. Moreover, these clothes had already been processed on sewing machines in the factory. In addition, Ye Yu could help with sewing some buttons.
In addition to clothes, two pairs of cloth shoes should also be made wider to leave more space for insoles.
Ye Yu's feet are growing taller, and her old size 36 cloth shoes are now completely stuffed full. Before long, her thumb might poke out.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Mom, you can keep those old rubber shoes at home. They might get broken if you give them to me."
"Okay," Wang Lai Di nodded. Her feet were half an inch smaller than Ye Yu's, so it wouldn't be a waste if she wore them herself. She added, "I'll go to see if I can borrow a ticket from my aunt later, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to buy a new pair."
Ye Yu refused: "Don't bother."
"What a trouble! You haven't been in the countryside for long, so you don't know that cloth shoes can basically only be worn at home in the countryside. Although you can use straw sandals when working in the fields, you can't wear straw sandals when you occasionally go out to town, right? What's the difference between that and the rough men in the countryside?" Wang Laidie felt reluctant when she thought about the hardships her daughter might have to endure in the future. She couldn't help but imagine her daughter turning into a dirty, dark-skinned farmer.
Elm leaves:
...Not to the extent that it is not to the extent that it is.
After humans mutated in the apocalypse, their black and white colors depended entirely on their innate genes. If they were exposed to the sun at over 50 degrees Celsius every day and covered themselves up for two days, they would return to their original appearance. Her innate genes did not allow her to be black, and her tan could not last for three days.
Wang Lai Di's tangled shoes are not very important, in fact, it is also possible to go barefoot.
Besides, Ye Yu is not unable to afford shoes. Not to mention rubber shoes, leather shoes or sandals will do.
Because of the previous robbery, she is now definitely a local tycoon, richer than all the people in their alley combined.
Even though the gold, silver and jade articles in the space can only be kept for ten years, there is still a lot of money that can be used in this era. However, due to the turmoil caused by the Niu family's affairs, it is not easy to take out the things in the space and use them now. I will wait until I arrive in the countryside after some time and then act accordingly.
Seeing that Wang Lai Di's brows were still furrowed, Ye Yu quickly changed the subject and said coquettishly with a smile: "Mom, you really love me."
“You!”
When Wang Lai Di heard this, she felt even more guilty. She knew that it was not necessary for her second daughter to go to the countryside like this. She could just give her the job, but... it still didn't work.
These days she and Ye Hongjun have been discussing this over and over again at night. They must keep one child by their side to take care of them in their old age, and all the daughters must get married, just like the eldest and second daughters. They can only feel sorry for the youngest daughter who is "still ignorant" and "naive". Alas, it is all her fault as a mother.
"???"
Ye Yu didn't understand why Wang Lai Di was so angry. Aren't they just rubber shoes? Buy them!
Another day has passed.
On the night before going to the countryside, Ye Hongjun took out a hundred yuan from his pocket after dinner and gave it to Ye Yu, saying, "Your elder sister and second sister's dowry was also this amount. I'm giving it to you in advance. Don't be too extravagant. Spend it wisely."
Honestly speaking, if Ye Yu hadn't been so generous before, the money wouldn't have been taken out today. He might have given it to Ye Xing before she got married.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Having said that, Ye Yu readily took it and just waited to come back for the next Spring Festival to bring back more "prey".
The next morning, at daybreak, elder sister Ye Xing came back and together with Ye Hongjun and others sent Ye Yu to the countryside.
If Ye Lan hadn't gone south with Zhao Qinggang after her wedding, there would have been one or two more people today.
These days, people carry a lot of bags when they go out.
Ye Yu had three packages in total, two large ones and one slightly smaller one. She could definitely carry all three by herself, but of the three packages, two were tied together and carried by Ye Hongjun, and one was being carried by Ye Zhongguo.
