After giving the old lady a quilt, Lin Qiao also gave her a lot of food.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, she also ate braised pork knuckle, as well as a lot of biscuits, persimmon cakes, and other things.
She can use one hand, so the items are placed within her reach and she can pick them up at any time.
She didn't know why, but after eating this, she felt more and more energetic.
She could occasionally move the left side of her body, so she started practicing secretly.
Today, Lin Qiao had just brought some oranges to the old lady, and she was about to eat them when Lin Tao snatched them away.
"Ahhh~"
The old lady started making sounds to get Lin Qiao to come over.
Lin Qiao grabbed a broom and rushed in.
"You never learn your lesson! You even steal oranges, you're incredibly wicked."
Lin Tao was furious and argued with her:
"What's wrong with me eating some of her food? We're the ones who clean up her messes and diapers, what did you do? What gives you the right to tell me what to do!"
As he spoke, he snatched Lin Qiao's broom and was about to hit her back.
To everyone's surprise, the old lady grabbed the broom that she had raised.
She slowly moved into the main room.
Lin Tao was so frightened that he ran outside as if he had lost his soul.
Lin Qiao looked on incredulously: "Grandma, you can walk now."
"Ah ah~" the old lady exclaimed.
Although he can walk, he still can't speak.
Over the next few days, Lin Qiao helped her start practicing walking.
With good food, she became more and more agile and began to take care of herself.
When Wang Xiufen saw her start cooking, she brought her rice, flour, cooking oil, and some vegetables.
The old woman shed tears of regret in the face of their kindness.
She took out a few green stones from the cabinet and gave them to Wang Xiufen.
"Mom, from now on, just live your life properly and stop causing trouble." Wang Xiufen knew that she wanted to express her apology, so she accepted it with peace of mind.
After that, Lin Zhoushi and Lin Baojia's family also separated, and they were not allowed to use the stove in the main room to cook, so they lived their own lives.
Every day when Lin Chen carried water for his own family, he would quietly help her fill the water tank.
At this moment, in Li Jianfeng's home, he was holding a rooster in his left hand and a knife in his right, ready to kill it.
In front of outsiders, the hunched-over, frail grandfather deftly snatched the knife.
"I'll do this kind of work."
With a swift motion, the knife spurted from the chicken's neck, leaving a bright red bloodstain on the snow.
Watching his grandfather soak the chicken in boiling water and carefully pluck its feathers, he felt a pang of guilt and said:
“I’m sorry, Grandpa, I couldn’t keep the black market afloat.”
Grandpa's wrinkled face was deeply furrowed: "I can't blame you. You're still a student. If your brother were here, our family wouldn't be in such dire straits. Your grandmother's illness depends on medication every day. Without money to buy medicine, she can only wait to die."
It's all fate! I've dealt with the person who betrayed your brother; the next one will be the one who opposed him back then!
His tone was gentle, but his words were filled with murderous intent.
Li Jianfeng quickly said, "Grandpa, leave the rest to me. I will make those who hurt my brother pay the price."
Grandpa didn't speak, which was taken as tacit approval. The wolf cub would never grow up if it wasn't thrown into the dangerous jungle.
......
As the ice and snow melt, tender buds sprout on the branches, bringing the breath of spring.
The whole village seemed to come alive, with busy figures everywhere.
It's planting season again, and village officials are starting to organize villagers to work.
While working, Lin Chen also cultivated wood ear mushrooms, beginning a busy new year.
He also started reselling a wider variety of goods, such as rice, flour, and vermicelli. As long as there was market demand, he would get the goods from Master Biao.
Jiang Ning and Wang Xiufen continued making clothes.
They are no longer worried about not having orders, but about not being able to finish them.
Wang Xiufen even considered taking on apprentices.
Lin Qiao has already started school and still chose to stay at the dormitory.
The construction team was recruiting, and Lin Chen didn't go, but many people went for interviews. Luo Guangming also followed the group to the township official's office.
The person in charge is Zhang Lei, a young man in his twenties, strong and muscular, with a faint smile always on his face.
When Luo Guangming saw him, he felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
Without giving him a chance to think further, Zhang Lei began questioning each person in turn.
The construction team recruited twelve workers in its first batch, mainly masons, tilers, carpenters, and plasterers. Without a specific skill, it was impossible to get in.
Those who were allowed into his office had already been screened; the room was packed with at least fifty people.
When Luo Guangming was asked the question, he paused for a moment.
He was selected because he applied for carpentry, but he only learned the basics. He could make a simple stool, but he had never made anything like glass windows.
After he answered truthfully, Zhang Lei became somewhat dissatisfied.
"Comrade, building houses for others is a very serious matter; you have to really know carpentry."
Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Changgui walked in and called Zhang Lei aside.
"If he can't do carpentry, then let's arrange for a mason! This young man saved me last time, let's give him a chance."
Zhang Changgui said softly.
Zhang Lei immediately replied, "Understood."
Luo Guangming later learned that Zhang Changgui was Zhang Lei's father, which explained why the two looked somewhat alike.
Zhang Lei's construction team was affiliated with the township government, and each project required him to pay 5% of the project cost as a management fee.
Other villages already had similar construction teams, so he followed suit and learned from them.
However, for a period of time after its establishment, he did not bring in a single business.
