Chapter 022



Du Weiguo and Wang Ling were taken to the provincial capital. Yuan Jing no longer cared about how the Du family and the Wang family fought against each other. Even if the Du family succeeded in the fight, it was believed that the Du family and Du Weiguo himself would be seriously injured and would not be able to jump around like before. Perhaps they had already forgotten that there was a male educated youth named Ji Yuanjing in the Red Star Production Team.

Without these two people breathing the same air under the same sky, Yuan Jing felt much more relaxed.

It was the Youth League Home. Although they were initially worried that Wang Ling's accident would affect the youth league members in the entire team, nothing happened after ten days or half a month, and everyone felt more relaxed because they had heard some rumors and knew that the Du family was powerful. Wang Ling's life would definitely be better if she was taken away by the Du family than if she stayed in the Red Star Production Team. There was no need for them to worry.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the Youth League Institute became relaxed. They found that without Wang Ling, their relationships with each other were much better than before. They would not miss the days when Wang Ling was around. Perhaps except for Jiang Huai who would occasionally think of this girl who was once in his heart, everyone else would be eager to put her out of their minds.

The few unmarried men in the village who had been vying to help Wang Ling with work no longer cared about her after they knew that she had made a fool of herself. Two of them had already listened to their parents and started looking for partners, and perhaps they would get married at the end of the year or after the New Year.

Yuan Jing received another letter from Ji's father. Ji's father received the cotton-padded clothes and rabbit fur vests sent by Yuan Jing. Although the letter blamed his son for spending money indiscriminately, it can be seen that Ji's father was in a good mood. When a person is in a good mood, his body will naturally feel much more relaxed.

It had been raining outside for a few days. Although the temperature was not as low as in the north, it was still uncomfortable. It was particularly cold. Chen Jianhua wrapped himself in a big cotton-padded jacket and sat next to Yuan Jing. He wanted to wrap himself in a quilt: "When will this damn rain stop?"

Niu Guilan had made a charcoal pot early in the morning to warm herself up. Everyone sat around it and she smiled, "The weather here is always like this. Judging from the situation, it will probably snow tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. When the snow stops, the sun may come out. This is your first time here, so you will definitely not be used to it."

It's going to snow? Chen Jianhua shuddered when he heard this. Even when he was sleeping at night, he felt his quilt was wet.

Snow? Yuan Jing looked at the gray sky outside. Is it going to snow then? In his original memory, it was because of the bad weather that the daughter-in-law of that family had a difficult delivery and could not be sent to the hospital. That was why they had to treat the situation as a last resort and asked Zhang Lao to treat her.

It seems that it will happen in the next few days. Yuan Jing did not think of stopping it because it would help improve the situation of Zhang Lao and others.

Sure enough, it snowed that night, but the snow melted as soon as it hit the ground. It had rained for two or three days and the ground was muddy. Niu Guilan found two bottles of saline solution, filled them with hot water and asked Yuan Jing and Chen Jianhua to put them in bed. Chen Jianhua seemed to come back to life. Yuan Jing also thanked Aunt Guilan. Although his physical fitness had improved a lot after exercise, his physical foundation was there. He did not perform much better than Chen Jianhua. He was still wearing the green military cotton coat sponsored by Jiang Qingshan.

The two came from the capital, and had seen heavy snow many times, so they had no interest in the snow here and went to bed early.

The snow did not stop until the second night. After a day and a night, only a thin layer of snow accumulated. On the third day, although the snow stopped and the rain stopped, the situation outside did not improve at all. Because the temperature dropped, the accumulated water and melted snow froze. The adults in the village controlled the children and did not let them run around outside, for they would fall if they were not careful.

It was impossible to go to work in this kind of weather. The Jiang family members were still warming themselves in front of the brazier. Yuan Jing was reading a book, Jiang Qingshan was roasting peanuts and chestnuts in the brazier, and then taking them out for Yuan Jing and the others to eat. Chen Jianhua was roasting them nearby and was almost drowsy.

Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Qingshan, Guilan, it's me."

Jiang Qingshan stood up and went to open the door: "Aunt, why are you here? What happened?"

The one who came was Niu Guozhu's wife, Aunt Afen. She said anxiously, "Your uncle asked you to go to the cowshed and ask Doctor Zhang. Youhe's daughter-in-law is having a difficult delivery and there's no way to send her to the hospital today. Even if she did, it would probably be too late..."

Before she could finish her words, Jiang Qingshan understood what his aunt meant and said immediately, "I'll go right away. Aunt, you go first. I'll call someone to take him there right away."

"Okay, okay, don't worry."

Jiang Qingshan walked out and said to his mother, "Mom, I'm going out for a while."

Yuan Jing and Chen Jianhua looked at each other. They couldn't help with this matter. Niu Guilan was anxious and explained to Yuan Jing and the others: "Youhe's family is close to Qingshan's uncle's family. Youhe is two years older than Qingshan. This is his wife's first child. She waited for several years to get pregnant. How could it be that she has trouble giving birth? No, I have to go and see."

"Aunt, let us go with you."

"Oh, okay, okay."

So the three of them covered the burning charcoal in the brazier with charcoal ashes, locked the door and went in together. When they arrived, they saw Aunt Afen comforting another aunt who was about her age, who they thought should be Niu Youhe's mother.

A scream of pain came from the east room, which made Yuan Jing and Chen Jianhua shiver. The man who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands jumped up and tried to go into the room when he heard the scream, but was stopped by someone.
