Chapter 368: Don’t pretend to obey but secretly disobey
It took the three of them several minutes to successfully help old man Zhang Xiuwen onto the tractor carriage using a door panel.
Tired and out of breath.
It is really tiring to get someone onto the carriage without causing any secondary damage to the injured leg.
Uncle Yaozi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Chichi, you and Xiaojiu go back. Your captain uncle and I will take the old man to the hospital."
Yi Chi Chi had no intention of following, but still asked, "Can you and the captain do it?"
"Yes."
The captain felt that he was being looked down upon and said loudly, "Besides, if we two can't do it, then neither can you. You can't perform surgery. The old man went to the hospital and there are doctors in charge."
The implication is that you don't need to worry about it.
Yi Chichi understood. She said "oh", took two steps back and waved, "Be careful on the road and drive carefully."
"Know."
Before he finished speaking, the team leader started the tractor with the crank.
With a rumbling sound, the car started.
Uncle Yaozi quickly sat down and held down the old man who wanted to get up. "If you are injured, you should be aware of your injuries. Just lie still."
The tone was quite impolite.
The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I just wanted to thank Comrade Xiao Yi."
"Okay, there's still time to thank me later."
Yi Chichi nodded in agreement, "I don't need your thanks. Your well-being is more important than anything else."
The old man was about to speak when the car started to drive away.
So, he had to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth and changed them to, "This girl is good."
"You must be able to do so. Otherwise, you can't be the daughter-in-law of our Kaoshantun."
Uncle Yaozi was proud of it, but then said angrily, "I only regret that I don't have a son, otherwise that brat Wen Shi wouldn't have gotten such a good deal."
Old man, “…”
There's no way to respond to this.
He could only change the subject, "Will my leg become lame?"
"You'll be able to recover and you won't be lame anymore. Maybe we can even use this operation to remove the shrapnel in your leg."
That’s right, there was shrapnel in the old man’s leg, stuck in the bone. The domestic environment was difficult and the war was raging, so there were no conditions for delicate surgery.
When conditions became available for surgery after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the founding of the People's Republic of China, the shrapnel had shifted and connected to the nerves, making the operation more difficult and risky.
The surgery was put on hold.
Now that so many years have passed, maybe the shrapnel has moved again and surgery can be performed.
From this perspective, it's a good thing.
The old man didn't hold out much hope for this. He sighed, "I'm old, and I don't have many years left to live. As long as I don't spend the remaining years paralyzed in bed and unable to take care of myself, it's okay to keep the shrapnel."
I'm afraid that after the operation he would be paralyzed in bed, which would be better than death.
Uncle Yaozi sighed and said, "Don't think too much about it. Just listen to the doctor when you get to the hospital."
At this point, he puffed his beard and glared, "I'm telling you, this time when you go to the hospital, you must listen to the doctor's words. You can't pretend to obey but actually disobey."
The old man didn't like to hear this topic. His answer was to close his eyes and pretend not to hear it, and even pretend to snore.
Seeing him like this, Uncle Yaozi's mouth twitched, thinking, out of sight, out of mind.
But he didn't expect the old man to suddenly say "Oh no!", which scared him so much that he wanted to jump up and ask what happened.
Finally, the old man said, "I didn't take my bucket or fish."
Uncle Yaozi was silent for two seconds, then angrily said, "It's already this late, and you're still thinking about your fish and bucket. After all, Chi Chi helped you once. What's the big deal if she eats your fish?"
The old man was so aggrieved by his yelling that he tried to defend himself, "I didn't say I wouldn't give it to her. I was just worried that the girl would forget."
I can't forget, and I can't forget.
It was just because Qin Jiu had already put away the bucket and fish.
Yi Chichi stood there and watched the tractor leave, then he stepped onto the tractor with his long legs, "Xiaojiu, get in, we're going back."
"Oh, okay."
Qin Jiu stumbled onto the back seat. He caught sight of the bucket beside him and was horrified. "Aunt, Grandpa Zhang forgot to bring them his bucket and fish."
Yi Chichi thought about it and realized that he really didn't bring it with him.
"Take it back first, and when your grandfather Yaozi and the others come back, then send it to the old man."
"But the fish are all dead. If we don't eat them quickly, they'll become smelly when Grandpa Yaozi and the others bring them over."
"Then we'll eat it first, and then we'll make two more fish of similar size."
We can't let such good fish go to waste.
If this were Yi Chichi from the original world, she would throw away any food that was not fresh at all. It would be impossible to eat it, and she has the money.
However, this world is short of supplies. People will eat anything that is not smelly, let alone dead fish.
I can't bear to eat the meat even if it goes bad, so I still eat it.
Health and food safety are only suitable for future generations with developed economies and abundant resources, and are not suitable for today's era.
So, take it back.
Qin Jiu said "oh", jumped out of the car and picked up the bucket, "Auntie, where are you going to get the fish then?"
"Go get some fish from your Grandpa Yaozi. He gets a few every now and then, so it won't be a problem to get two."
Qin Jiu laughed, "Aunt, you are really not polite at all."
Yi Chichi sighed, "I'd like to be polite."
However, the result of being polite is being scolded, so why should she be polite?
"Your Grandpa Yaozi is different from the other uncles and grandfathers in the village. He and your Grandma Yaozi treat me like their own daughter. If I'm too polite to them, they'll feel uncomfortable."
That's true.
Whenever Grandpa Yaozi and his friends have something good, they always think of his aunt. Of course, his aunt is the same, she also thinks of them when she has something good.
"I also have to be nice to Grandpa Yaozi and the others."
"Don't worry too much. Just grow up happily, study hard, learn knowledge, and become a useful person to society. I and your great-grandfather will take care of all the social interactions."
Qin Jiu hummed, "I'll listen to my aunt."
His aunt would not harm him, and his grandfather also asked him to listen to his aunt. He was a good boy and resolutely carried out his grandfather's orders.
That's right, "Gu, what kind of person is useful to society?"
"That depends on how you define useful."
Yi Chichi explained as he pedaled his bicycle rapidly, "To put it simply, if you don't commit crimes and bring trouble or harm to the motherland or others, you are a useful person."
"In a broader sense, it means contributing to the motherland, such as building airplanes and ships, developing science and technology, and improving people's livelihoods."
At this point, she asked Qin Jiu, "What do you want to do when you grow up?"
Qin Jiu thought about it seriously and found that he couldn't think of it.
He said in a daze, "Aunt, I don't know."
"My parents made great contributions to our country, but I don't even remember what they looked like or where they are."
"Grandpa..."
He hesitated to speak, "Aunt, is the old man a useful person?"
“It has to be useful.”
If my great uncle and his generation had not fought three generations of wars, we would still have no idea what this vast land would be like.
Because of their dedication and sacrifice, future generations are free from the suffering of war and live a peaceful life with no worries about food and clothing.
