According to Yang Wanli himself, he washed his clothes with snow and then hung them on the ground to dry.
"cough……"
Yang Wanli opened his mouth wide and breathed hard.
"I only have this set of clothes, and I don't even have a change of clothes. Throw it away and go out to work naked?"
Many people have seen Yang Wanli's ragged black coat. In addition, his roommates testified that he did wash his clothes in the snow and left them there to dry.
"We have been rubbing clothes with snow for so many years in the Great Northern Wilderness. People often put clothes in the open space outside the dormitory. I have never seen anyone's clothes stolen! It must be that you, an old man, are dishonest and stole clothes from our farm."
Several indignant male educated youth became angrier and angrier as they spoke, clamoring to send Qiao Changgui to the field office to find the police.
Qiao Changgui was completely scared and begged Yang Wanli to forgive him.
He quickly took off his clothes and returned them to Yang Wanli, then slapped himself in the face madly.
"I was wrong. I was not good. I shouldn't have picked up other people's things casually. I won't dare to do it again even if I freeze to death."
"Brother, please forgive me because I didn't steal on purpose."
Yang Wanli had no intention of sending Qiao Changgui to the farm. He had been working honestly on the farm for so many years, and he didn't dare to say a word or take a step too far.
After all, he was sent down to the farm, so he tried not to cause trouble if possible.
He had already noticed that his torn cotton-padded jacket was missing. If Xiao Li, the canteen handyman, hadn't come running to look for him, Yang Wanli would not have wanted to pursue the matter at all.
"Okay, I forgive you."
After getting the clothes, Yang Wanli immediately let Qiao Changgui go.
He had an asthma attack and felt very uncomfortable. Just taking the cotton-padded jacket from Qiao Changgui and putting it on took all his strength.
After putting on the cotton-padded jacket, Yang Wanli's lips turned purple from exhaustion and he had to hold on to the table next to him to rest.
"Alas, Lao Yang's illness has become serious again."
Manager Tong couldn't bear it, so he walked over to Lao Yang and looked at him with a sad face.
"You were already in poor health, and you were wearing only a single layer of clothing on the way to the cafeteria. This is making matters worse, and your condition is even more serious."
Manager Tong turned to look at Qiao Changgui, frowned and asked, "Old comrade, what do you think we should do about this?"
Qiao Changgui stared at Manager Tong in a daze, with a puzzled look on his face: "What should I do?"
Manager Tong pointed at Yang Wanli who kept coughing: "You stole his clothes, and now he is even sicker, shouldn't you be responsible?"
Qiao Changgui widened his eyes, looking disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.
"What the hell? I'm responsible? I've already returned the clothes to him, and he said he forgave me, so why should I be responsible? Besides, it looks like he has had this disease for years, and it has nothing to do with me."
Qiao Changgui took off Yang Wanli's tattered cotton jacket, revealing the dog-skin vest underneath. There was also a thin sweater underneath the vest, and one could tell from its color that it was newly knitted this year.
Nowadays, it is rare to find a family that can afford wool yarn, after all, wool yarn is very expensive.
In the entire Qingyanshan Farm, only the leaders of the headquarters and the managers of the branch farms are willing to wear it.
But how could Qiao Changgui afford to wear a sweater?
Without being reminded, everyone present could tell that something was wrong.
"Baozhu, your second uncle just said that the family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat. Look, he can actually afford a sweater, and that dog-skin vest looks like it has cotton in it."
Fang Shan was sharp-eyed and sharp-tongued. When she noticed the clothes Qiao Changgui was wearing, she immediately and loudly reminded Qiao Baozhu.
"Your dear father is here to deceive you again!"
