Chapter 50 Chapter 50 I dare not treat it, and the person is gone
When Aunt Ding left, not only did she not get anything out of Zhuo Jia, but Zhuo Jia asked her a lot of random questions instead.
Alas, Zhuo Jia sighed. It seemed that this time, her sister-in-law's father was really in danger. Then...
Will her parents-in-law be able to come back at noon today?
Zhuo Jia thought a little uncertainly!
If I can't come back, what will I do for lunch today?
Just as Zhuo Jia was daydreaming, the atmosphere in the county hospital became a little serious, because the doctor said that the patient's life had only been saved temporarily, but the injuries were too severe and he might not last long, so he suggested that they send the patient to the city or provincial hospital.
Of course, this is just a suggestion, because the doctor knows very well that for most families in this situation, everyone knows what to choose. Even many families in the city will not send their children to the provincial hospital, so he just made this suggestion.
In fact, what he meant by saying this was to tell everyone that it was time to prepare for their funeral!
Seeing that the Qian family was silent, Liu Hongying and the brigade secretary looked at each other and said nothing. What else could they say? Now they both knew what the result would be!
Liu Hongying walked over to Qiao Anshan and said, "Boss, your father and I are going to go back first. There are three children at home, and your sister-in-law can't handle it alone. You should stay and help."
This may be the last time I lend a hand!
Qiao Anshan nodded and just watched his parents walk away. He didn't dare to leave his wife too far away, for fear that she would collapse in an instant!
…
Zhuo Jia was standing in the yard enjoying the cool air while her mother-in-law and father-in-law were cooking in the kitchen. Zhuo Jia poked her head out and called out, then slipped outside with Xiaoru and Xiaopeng.
Ahem, she really felt embarrassed in the yard. There was probably no other daughter-in-law like her in the entire brigade. However, she wanted to help, but her parents-in-law said that she only needed to take care of the children and didn't need to cook, so she had no choice.
But thinking of what her mother-in-law said, Zhuo Jia couldn't help but sigh. It was so hard. People at this time were really suffering. Some diseases couldn't be cured, and some diseases were too difficult to treat...
Most of the time, they can only go home and wait to die. Money really stumps many people!
Xiaoru heard her sigh and looked at her and asked, "Second Aunt, when will Mom and Dad be back?"
She misses her parents.
Zhuo Jia glanced at her and said calmly, "It's almost time. Is your big brother going to finish school soon?"
She is looking forward to her elder brother and sister-in-law, but not to Xiao Wei's coming.
Xiaoru nodded: "Well, big brother will be back by dinner time."
Zhuo Jia: "..."
This answer really gets full marks!
"Second Aunt, ants." Xiaopeng pointed at the ants on the ground and looked up to call Zhuo Jia.
Facing the child's bright eyes, Zhuo Jia was silent for a moment and asked, "Second Aunt saw it."
Then what?
Xiao Peng grinned and said, "Second Aunt, let's catch the ants and feed them to Xiao Hei."
Zhuo Jia was stunned for a moment. Xiao Hei was her little black dog, but when did a dog start eating ants? Are dogs so not picky about food?
Xiao Ru looked at her silly brother and sighed, "Brother, Xiao Hei doesn't eat ants, he eats bones."
She also wanted to know why her brother suddenly wanted Xiao Hei to eat ants. Did Xiao Hei really eat ants behind her back?
Xiaopeng tilted his head and said aggrievedly: "But sister, I have no bones."
He also wanted Xiao Hei to eat bones, but he hadn't even seen the bones, so how could he let Xiao Hei eat them?
"If there are no bones, then let's go dig earthworms and feed the chickens." Xiaoru rolled her eyes and looked at Xiaopeng seriously.
She was also very scared. If Xiaopeng really caught ants to feed Xiaohei, then everything would be in trouble. It would be so unfair to Xiaohei.
Xiaopeng's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously: "Dig earthworms to feed the chickens."
As they were talking, the brother and sister went to dig earthworms. Zhuo Jia, who was standing beside them, had a blank expression on her face. At this moment, she really felt that her sister-in-law had a hard time. Of course, it was not easy for her now either.
This difficult task ended when Qiao Wei came back. The young man, who came back with his schoolbag, immediately took over the task of taking care of his younger siblings and rescued his poor second aunt.
While eating, Xiaopeng saw the bone he had been longing for. He pointed at the big bone and excitedly called out, "Xiao Hei."
Zhuo Jia almost didn't take out her chopsticks. She knew that Xiao Hei was eating bones, but if she didn't know, she would have thought it was Xiao Hei!
She picked up a big bone for Xiaopeng and said kindly, "Eat it, and give it to Xiaohei after you finish chewing it."
Although there is not much meat on it, the bones have been stewed for such a long time that they are well-seasoned and it is good to smack on them.
"Thank you, Second Aunt." Xiaopeng's eyes sparkled, and he grabbed the bone and started chewing it.
Others who were drinking bone soup nearby: "..."
After enduring it again and again, Liu Hongying still couldn't help but look at Zhuo Jia with a condemning look. How could she bully a fool?
Zhuo Jia coughed and said hurriedly, "Drink some soup."
Hahaha, she thinks Xiaopeng is quite interesting now and believes whatever he says!
The playful Xiaopeng took the bone in his hand and went out to feed Xiaohei. After feeding Xiaohei, he came back and continued to suck the bone...
"Xiaopeng, eat well." Xiaowei said with emphasis.
Although Xiao Wei is not very old, he still has the authority of his elder brother, so Xiao Wei immediately became obedient. Although he was still licking his bones, he did not run out. Instead, he sat in his seat and licked his bones obediently!
The three adults pretended they saw nothing, eating as they were supposed to and drinking as they were supposed to. Occasionally they glanced at Xiaopeng, who was timid and dared not speak, and then glanced at Xiaowei, who was particularly imposing. The three adults looked at each other.
Finally, Liu Hongying whispered, "This elder brother is doing a good job. He has great aura and can intimidate his younger brothers and sisters."
He acts more like an elder brother than my biological father does!
Zhuo Jia was drinking soup and almost choked when she heard this. She thought for a moment and said, "Mom, the eldest brother can also calm down the younger brothers and sisters."
Look at what her mother-in-law said, as if her husband and sister-in-law are so rebellious!
Hearing this, Liu Hongying looked over and said with a forced smile: "Haha, just believe what I said."
Not to mention his daughter who married far away, even the rebellious second son has scales all over his body. How can he be subdued?
Zhuo Jia was silent for a moment, then said stubbornly, "I believe it."
What a great thing this elder brother and his wife did. She was obedient anyway!
Liu Hongying: “…”
She couldn't understand why such a beautiful daughter-in-law became blind at such a young age?
"I remember there are wolfberries on the mountain. If you have no time at home, you can go to the mountain to find some wolfberries and make tea with them." Liu Hongying looked at Zhuo Jia and said seriously.
She remembered that wolfberries can improve eyesight and hoped it would be helpful.
Zhuo Jia shook her head: "I'm so young, I don't need to soak wolfberries."
She is still young and not old enough to soak wolfberries.
Liu Hongying was completely defeated by her daughter-in-law. She directly poured a bowl of bone soup and handed it to her: "Drink the soup."
Stop talking. What good will it do to make her angry to death?
Zhuo Jia took the bowl silently and kept silent. How could she, such a good daughter-in-law, go against her mother-in-law? It was impossible.
So those who were looking for trouble settled down, and the lunch went more smoothly.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Wei pulled all the bones into a bowl and handed it to Xiao Peng: "Okay, you can go feed Xiao Hei now."
As a good big brother, he would remember every wish of his younger siblings.
"Thank you, big brother." Xiaopeng shouted excitedly while holding the bowl, then ran out with the bowl in his arms.
Xiao Wei asked Xiao Ru to follow and watch over him, while he cleaned up the dishes like a little adult. Liu Hongying waved her hand and said, "You go out and look after your younger siblings. After a short break, take them back for a nap. Just make sure they don't miss your afternoon classes."
She didn't let her 18-year-old daughter-in-law wash the dishes, so there was no need to let her nine-year-old grandson wash the dishes. She should just do it herself.
So Xiao Wei went outside to see her younger siblings. Not long after, she took them to rest next door, while her parents-in-law...
Well, I also went next door to accompany my eldest grandson and granddaughter!
In the afternoon, Zhuo Jia was sitting in a rocking chair in the yard to rest when she heard Xiaopeng and Xiaoru calling "Dad" outside. She was so startled that she sat up instantly. Her elder brother was back, but where was her elder sister-in-law?
Thinking of this, Zhuo Jia hurried out, but when she got outside, she saw that her elder brother was even more anxious than her, and he came back alone.
She quickly asked, "Brother, why are you alone? Where is your sister-in-law?"
Her mother-in-law said that her sister-in-law's father might be brought back from the hospital this afternoon. So is he coming back now?
Qiao Anshan said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, I have to trouble you for a moment with the child. Yulan has gone back to her parents' home, and I have to go give her two sets of clothes."
Well, I was really in a hurry. I was so anxious that I went home to get two sets of clothes and then rode my bike away in a hurry.
Zhuo Jia didn't dare to say anything except nodding, but she knew in her heart that her sister-in-law's father might not live for many days. After all, he came back from the hospital to wait for death at home. Her sister-in-law and her children would probably have to stay there for the next few days.
Wait till there are no more people left...
Zhuo Jia shook her head and glanced at Xiaoru and Xiaopeng. The two children stopped playing and just watched their father come and go without even saying a word to them.
She thought for a moment and said, "You two go to the yard to wash your hands, and then I'll take you out to play."
The two children didn't go out to play all day today. They just waited for their parents at home. In the end, it was the same as not waiting at all, so they might as well go out to play.
While the two children washed their hands, Zhuo Jia grabbed a handful of candy and put it in her pocket, then closed the door. She didn't lock it, but just hung it up, thinking that she would go out for a walk and come back soon, so she took the two children out.
Soon, Zhuo Jia found a group of children beside a slope. She gave Xiaoru some candies and let her take her brother to play with these children.
After the children finished their group, Zhuo Jia looked around and didn't walk far. She just found a shady place. Maybe someone had sat there before to enjoy the cool air. The stones under the tree looked quite clean, so she sat down without hesitation and just watched the children play with her chin in her hand.
After watching for a while, she suddenly heard a child crying. She turned her head and saw a little girl hiding in a haystack not far away. She took a closer look and was surprised to find that she didn't even recognize this little girl!
At this moment, Zhuo Jia was really curious, because all the children in the team knew that she had candy, so no matter whose children they were, no matter whether they knew her or not, they all liked to get close to her, so she knew almost all the children in the team.
And now a child she didn't know suddenly appeared, and she was really shocked.
Unfortunately, the little girl was a little timid. Before she reached the haystack, perhaps her footsteps startled the little girl. The little girl looked at her in horror, as if she was a child thief, then got up and ran away.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She stretched out her hand and watched the little girl run away. She really wanted to say that she was not a child thief, but unfortunately the little girl had already run away.
Zhuo Jia sat back with some regret. She was becoming more and more curious. Whose child was this? Why hadn't he come out before?
The more I thought about her, the more curious I became, and finally I decided...
I will bring Xiaoru and Xiaopeng here to play tomorrow, and then she will find out who that little girl belongs to!
Because Xiaopeng was still young, he played hide-and-seek with Xiaoru and other girls. Well, when the poor kid was first found, he couldn't help but cry!
Well, Xiaoru stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth, and he immediately stopped crying and started grinning foolishly.
Seeing this scene, Zhuo Jia laughed out loud under the tree. You know what, this kid is quite funny. He cries when he wants to and laughs when he wants to. He has no face burden at all!
They played until someone called the children to go home for dinner, and then the children playing hide-and-seek started running home. Zhuo Jia raised her hand to check the time, and without saying a word, she ran home with her two children.
It’s all over, it’s all over. I was so busy watching the kids playing hide-and-seek that I forgot about going home and cooking!
But when she returned home, she saw that the door of her elder brother and sister-in-law's house next door was open, and she could vaguely hear the voices of her parents-in-law from inside. She looked at the door hanging on her own house, and decisively followed the two children to the next door.
"Grandpa and grandma, Second Aunt is back with my younger brother and sister. It's time for dinner." Xiao Wei, who was about to go find them, saw them coming back and shouted towards the kitchen.
Xiaopeng saw his big brother, ran back with a silly smile, and shouted loudly: "Big brother, I'm hungry, let's eat."
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She really wanted to tell Xiao Wei that this was not something to be proud of, so there was no need to be so loud!
So Zhuo Jia went to wash her hands without saying a word, and then went to the kitchen to get the dishes silently. Well, that's good. Although she didn't come back, nothing was delayed. The leftovers were brought over by her, so nothing was wasted.
At this moment, she felt that the smartest decision she had made was not locking the door when she went out!
"Where did you go to play? Why did you come back so late?" Seeing her, Liu Hongying couldn't help but ask.
Liu Hongying doesn't think she is a wicked mother-in-law, but many times she really can't help it. But every time this happens, she is particularly glad that the family business was divided early, otherwise she might have been angry to death.
Zhuo Jia blinked, looking innocent: "Mom, it's not me, it's Xiaoru and Xiaopeng who are addicted to playing hide-and-seek. I was so busy watching them that I didn't pay attention to the time."
What could she have done wrong? She had been looking at the time all afternoon. Her biggest mistake was not paying attention to the time.
Liu Hongying, who was serving rice, heard this and looked up helplessly and said, "I was just asking casually."
So there's no need to push the pot out so quickly.
Zhuo Jia said without blinking, "Oh, then I'll take the bowl to the main room first."
She doesn't understand anything!
While eating, Zhuo Jia thought of something and looked up and said, "Mom and Dad, my eldest brother came back this afternoon."
Judging from the hurried manner in which her elder brother came and went, he probably didn't have time to see his parents.
Liu Hongying paused. She and the brigade secretary exchanged a glance, both looking unhappy. She nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Your eldest brother might be back tonight. Your father and I will wait here for a while."
Oh, this is really a sin!
Compared with the adults' discomfort, the three children were simply happy. In their eyes, how could they not be happy that their father was back?
After dinner, Zhuo Jia helped Xiao Wei check his homework, and then went back to her own home. Her parents-in-law were there, so she didn’t have to worry about the three children.
When Zhuo Jia got home, the first thing she did was to turn on the stove and boil some water for a bath. She had been outside for half a day, so she needed to take a good bath!
When Zhuo Jia was sitting in the yard and about to fall asleep, she finally heard the sound of her elder brother coming back from next door. She listened carefully and found that her elder brother came back alone, and her elder sister-in-law did not come back.
…
The next day, Zhuo Jia didn't have to get up early to cook. Her mother-in-law had already prepared breakfast next door. Oh, and she also made her breakfast. Fortunately, Zhuo Jia was worried about Qiao Wei's schooling and got up a little earlier, otherwise...
Zhuo Jia, who was eating with a bowl in hand, couldn't help but shake her head, otherwise it would be really embarrassing!
After breakfast, some went to school, some went to work, and in the end, she and her two children were left alone as usual.
She looked at Xiaoru and asked, "Do you want to go play with the kids, or do you want to play at home?"
She has no experience in taking care of children, but these children have experience in how to play.
Sure enough, the experienced Xiaoru shook her head, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Second Aunt, we're not going out. We want to play with Xiaohei."
Those kids are so envious that they can play with Xiao Hei!
Zhuo Jia was silent for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, then you can play with Xiao Hei."
She used to just want to raise a dog to guard the house, but she didn't expect that this little dog could also take care of children!
Really, I feel much more useful than her!
So Zhuo Jia, who didn't have to look after the children, continued to sit idle in the rocking chair. When Zhang Yunhuan came over, he saw her looking like she was about to fall asleep, while on the other side were two children playing with a puppy, and there was a gentle breeze blowing...
Zhang Yunhuan was so envious that his eyes almost turned green. What kind of fairy-tale life was this? Why were all the educated youth sent to the countryside, but why was there such a huge gap between people?
Zhuo Jia had already sensed someone coming in, but no one spoke, so she had to open her eyes and look over.
Seeing Zhang Yunhuan standing there stupidly, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Why don't you just move a chair and sit down?"
She's not a stranger and it's not her first time here, so we shouldn't ask her to help move the chairs again, right?
Very good, Zhang Yunhuan showed with practical actions that she still didn't need help with the chair. Soon Zhang Yunhuan moved a chair from the main room and sat next to her.
Zhang Yunhuan coughed, then leaned closer to Zhuo Jia and whispered, "I'm going to tell you something you don't know."
As Zhuojia's best friend, she knows what attracts Zhuojia!
Sure enough, Zhuo Jia immediately became excited after hearing this. She opened her eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
She is now interested in things she doesn't know!
Zhang Yunhuan said mysteriously, but could not hide his excitement: "Do you know the relationship between Feng Xiaoyu and Li Zhuang?"
Zhuo Jia, still excited: "..."
She looked at the excited Zhang Yunhuan and asked expressionlessly, "Is that all you want to talk about?"
She had already seen through this matter a long time ago, so Zhang Yunhuan's behavior was somewhat of a waste of her feelings!
Zhang Yunhuan asked in confusion: "No, you know?"
That shouldn't be the case. The people at their educated youth site only found out yesterday, and they all went to work today. She must have been the first person to come find Zhuo Jia. How did Zhuo Jia know?
"Yeah, I noticed it a long time ago." Zhuo Jia still had no expression on her face.
Most of the people at the educated youth camp noticed this, it's not a strange thing.
Zhang Yunhuan now knew something was wrong. She patted Zhuo Jia and said dissatisfiedly, "What do you know? I'm talking about the two of them talking about it publicly and saying they were planning to get their marriage certificate before the New Year."
Really, she could see the relationship between Feng Xiaoyu and Li Zhuang, but the two of them never said anything and never broke the secret, so she pretended not to know. But now it’s different. Now the two of them are officially dating, and they’re going to get a marriage certificate!
Zhuo Jia, who had a blank expression on her face, lost her composure once again. She sat up and asked excitedly, "Is this true? When did this happen? Why did these two suddenly come to their senses?"
She actually knew that Feng Xiaoyu and Li Zhuang were waiting, waiting to return to the city, but aren’t they waiting to return to the city now?
What on earth had happened that she didn't know about!
Zhang Yunhuan shook his head: "I don't know why I suddenly came to my senses. Anyway, this matter has spread throughout the educated youth camp. Everyone is waiting to attend their wedding."
This is indeed a good thing. Returning to the city is a long way off, but feelings are something that cannot be restrained all the time. Look, now I can't control myself anymore.
"Did they both go to work today?" Zhuo Jia stared at Zhang Yunhuan.
She was very curious and wanted to find out!
Zhang Yunhuan sighed, looked at Zhuo Jia and said, "They are both very steady."
Zhuo Jia: "..."
I see, this is what it means to go to work!
She shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'll go to the educated youth center tonight."
If the parties involved can sit still like this, she, as an outsider, must also keep calm.
Zhang Yunhuan smiled at her: "Well, is this something you don't know?"
Humph, she really holds a grudge!
Zhuo Jia rolled her eyes at her and said helplessly, "Yes, yes, it's something I don't know."
She felt that Zhang Yunhuan was also idle now, and she really should let Zhang Yunhuan go to work...
Well, I'm exhausted every day and don't have the time to laugh at her here!
After talking about the educated youth center, Zhang Yunhuan glanced at the two children playing with Xiao Hei and almost leaned close to Zhuo Jia's ear to ask, "How is your sister-in-law's father?"
She had heard several versions, each one scarier and more unreliable than the last, so she couldn't resist her curiosity anymore and took this opportunity to ask.
Zhuo Jia shook her head: "The situation is not very good. My sister-in-law has been guarding over there."
This matter is not a secret. If Zhang Yunhuan dares to sit at the door of Aunt Ding and the others, he will know what is going on.
Zhang Yunhuan was shocked: "Ah, didn't he fall into the ditch? And he was sent to the hospital in time, so how come his condition is so bad?"
She was really shocked. Even though he was old, he didn't die and was sent to the hospital alive. How could he be in trouble?
So Zhuo Jia told the story again. The key point was that the county hospital was helpless, and if they wanted to save people, they could only go to the city or even provincial hospitals. But with the current traffic conditions, they might not be able to survive.
Zhang Yun, who had just witnessed this situation for the first time, was completely stunned. She asked in disbelief, "So they're just taking him home to die now?"
How could this be possible? With so many children in the family, we can definitely scrape together the money, or even borrow some...
Seeing Zhang Yunhuan's expression, Zhuo Jia knew what she was thinking. She sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. This is the situation in most rural areas now."
Minor illnesses don’t need to be treated, they will heal if you just endure it. Serious illnesses cannot be treated, they will go away if you just endure it!
It is so normal that you cannot afford to see a doctor or go to the hospital!
In many families, the savings over the years may not be enough to pay for a trip to the hospital. Besides, everyone will die, so we have to make plans for the living!
Poverty is the most important reason!
Obviously, this theory shocked Zhang Yunhuan. She sat in the chair without saying a word and couldn't react for a long time.
Just as Zhuo Jia was thinking about how to comfort her, she heard Zhang Yunhuan look up at her and say, "If anything happens to me, my parents will save me even if they spend all their money."
She remembered that when she was a child, she had a severe fever again. It was so serious that she stayed in the hospital for a whole half month and spent a lot of money, but her parents did not give up on her.
Zhuo Jia was stunned: "This is different."
After saying this, she didn't say anything else, because she couldn't say anything else. If she told him everything she knew at once, Zhang Yunhuan might not be able to bear it.
Just like this incident, you can't say who is wrong or who is right, because this is everyone's choice, including her sister-in-law's parents. Everything, in the final analysis, is due to lack of money. If you have money...
Who can be sick and not be cured?
Seeing that Zhang Yunhuan still didn't say anything, Zhuo Jia looked at her seriously and said, "Zhang Yunhuan, if you don't want to find yourself in such a dilemma in the future, then try to save money whenever you have the chance. The more money the better."
It may be difficult to choose between money and life, but when you have enough money, you don’t have to choose, because you have both life and money.
Zhang Yunhuan looked at her own white and tender hands, sighed and said, "I understand."
She has no way to get money now, and she still needs help from her parents, but it doesn’t matter, she can write to her elder brother and ask him to work hard!
The two talked for a while, and then Zhang Yunhuan left with a heavy heart.
After Zhang Yunhuan left, Zhuo Jia lay in the rocking chair, looking at the dazzling sun in the sky. In this life, she would never let herself fall into such a dilemma!
…
In the afternoon, Zhuo Jia took Xiao Ru and Xiao Peng to play on the slope where they had been yesterday. But this time she did not meet the strange little girl again. She even walked around but could not find her. She was a little confused and wondered if someone had brought her to visit relatives.
This is not impossible!
The group of kids dispersed after playing for a while because someone caught a fish by the river. They all ran to see the fish, and Xiaoru and Xiaopeng also wanted to go.
Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and said, "Let's go. I'll go with you, but you have to stay away from the river. If you don't behave, I'll tell your parents. Think about why your eldest brother got beaten last time."
As for making a complaint, although it doesn't sound good, it is useful!
Xiaoru and Xiaopeng were easily frightened. They nodded hurriedly, "Second Aunt, we will be obedient."
The most important thing is, Second Aunt, let’s set off quickly, otherwise we won’t be able to catch up with the other children.
Hearing this, Zhuo Jia contentedly took the two children to the river. Not only did they go to the river, but on the way, she even saw Aunt Ding with a smile on her face and brisk steps.
Zhuo Jia blinked. Could it be that someone from Aunt Ding’s family caught the fish?
Thinking of this, Zhuo Jia felt more motivated. If Aunt Ding's son caught two fish, should she ask for one?
She has always been willing to lose face when it comes to food, not to mention that she didn't steal or rob, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about!
When she arrived at the river, Zhuo Jia realized that she had overthought. Someone had caught a fish, but she didn't know this person. It might be someone from the next brigade. It seemed that her wish to drink fish soup tonight was in vain!
Someone who knew this man shouted, "Ma Laowu, you are quite courageous. The water in this river is so fast, aren't you afraid of being washed away?"
Why does everyone know that there are fish in this river, but no one goes down to catch them? It’s because the water is too fast and the fish might be washed away if they are not careful.
These are all lessons learned from blood!
Ma Laowu grinned foolishly, holding the fish in his hands and shouting, "Luck, this is all luck."
His son is lucky. If he can make fish soup with this fish, his son will be able to have milk to drink.
After hearing this, many people stood by the river and looked down. They tried to hold it in, but after a while, some people couldn't help but jump in. They all grew up by the river, so who wouldn't jump into the water?
There are so many people around now, so nothing will happen for sure. If we are lucky enough to catch a fish, then we can have meat tonight, right?
Aunt Ding was also watching from the riverside. After a while, she said, "When we're done working, I'll have them all come and catch them."
If several brothers come together, we can look after each other!
Zhuo Jia: "..."
What can she say? She can only say that fish and meat are very tempting!
If everyone is afraid to go into the water and can't catch any fish, that's fine. But now that someone has caught one, wouldn't many people start to be tempted?
Zhuo Jia, who was also excited, thought, although she didn't dare to go into the water, who said she couldn't eat fish if she didn't go into the water?
She comforted herself in her heart, just wait a little longer, and you will be able to eat fish. Woo woo woo, I want to eat fish so much!
"Aunt, what a big fish!" Xiaoru said with sparkling eyes.
Such a big fish must be delicious!
Zhuo Jia nodded in agreement: "Big fish have more meat."
…
Because of this one fish, everyone started to go fishing in the river. On the first day, they only fished in the area of the brigade, but day by day, the fishing area became wider and wider. But there must be some gains, otherwise they would not be so active.
If anyone has been satisfied by this fishing craze, it is Zhuo Jia. She has been eating fish for three consecutive days through Aunt Ding, and it is so delicious!
The people who were obsessed with fishing in the river also had an unexpected harvest on this day. They fished out a little girl from the river!
When Zhuo Jia found out about this, she was watering flowers in the yard. Upon hearing this, she followed her mother-in-law and ran out.
When they reached the river, Zhuo Jia saw a little girl lying by the river surrounded by people. This girl was the little girl she had seen in the haystack some time ago. But judging by the little girl's appearance and the appearance of the people around her, she was afraid...
The person is gone!
Liu Hongying didn't care about anything else and ran over to identify the person. When she found that she didn't know him, she breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head to ask, "Whose child is this? Does anyone know him?"
If anything happens in their team again, she really doesn't want to work there anymore.
Many people said they didn’t know him and he was not from their team.
Zhuo Jia walked over to her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, I've seen this little girl once. Also, should we notify the police?"
Don’t worry about who this little girl is, or whether she fell into the river by accident or how, but since she is dead, we have to tell the police.
Liu Hongying was about to ask where she had seen him before, but after hearing the latter part, she quickly nodded: "You are right."
As he said this, the team leader and the team secretary also ran over. When they found out that the little girl was dead, their legs went weak at the same time.
"Hurry up and notify the police first." The two said in unison.
Finally, the team leader went to the commune to find the police, and the team secretary first asked if anyone knew the child in this river. The teams along the river would definitely know who the little girl belonged to.
Liu Hongying calmed down and asked, "Second brother, where did you see this little girl?"
Well, she just heard this sentence, but she didn't bother to ask.
Zhuo Jia quickly recounted what happened that day, the key point being that the child ran away when he saw her!
Liu Hongying breathed a sigh of relief: "Now that we know where this little girl appeared last time, it will be easy to talk about it."
