Xu Guangtian returned the oxcart and went straight to the main room of the house.
This is the biggest house. The kitchen is right inside the entrance, with two stove pits, but only one of them has a pot.
Of the two rooms, he went straight into the east room.
At this moment, a kerosene lamp was lit in the room, and in the dim room, two old people could be seen sitting cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Mom, we've already paid for Gou Dan's medical expenses. The doctor said he needed to be hospitalized for thirty yuan, but Gou Dan didn't stay. He just got a bandage and some medicine and came back."
Zhang Xiufen, who was on the kang (a heated brick bed), was worried when she heard that it cost thirty yuan, but when she heard that Gou Dan had not agreed to be hospitalized, she felt relieved.
"Alright, it's gone, it's gone." She waved her hand impatiently. What a debt collector! He doesn't earn many work points a day, but he's quite good at squandering money.
Xu Guangtian didn't say anything more and turned around to go back.
The old man, who had been smoking his pipe on the kang (a heated brick bed), said with a "smack," "Give Gou Dan two eggs tomorrow morning. He's lost so much blood. No matter what, he's still our grandson."
When Zhang Xiufen heard that he wanted two eggs, she almost smashed the kang table. "Xu Dazhi! You just say two eggs without saying anything! We only have two chickens in the whole family. They don't lay eggs in the middle of winter, and you still want eggs!"
Isn't this like taking her life? The family's salt depends on exchanging eggs for it.
Xu Dazhi frowned, his wrinkles deepening. "You're something else! They're all my grandsons, and you can't even part with two eggs? How many eggs did Xiangmin get in his exam?"
“How can that be the same?” Zhang Xiufen was displeased as soon as she heard that. “Xiangmin is preparing to take the college entrance exam, unlike Gou Dan. Once he goes to college, he will become a future cadre. Can you tell the difference?”
"Stop talking nonsense. If I ask tomorrow and you still haven't given it to me, see how I deal with you!" Xu Dazhi was too lazy to waste words with her.
After saying that, he tapped his pipe and then crawled into bed.
Zhang Xiufen rolled her eyes. Although it pained her, she still had to give it to him. When the old man got angry, she couldn't argue with him. It was all that idiot's fault—good for nothing but eating everything!
If he hadn't been jumping around so much, would he have bumped his head?
Xu Guangtian returned to the house and saw his wife sitting and waiting for him to come back. He then glanced at the kang (a heated brick bed).
Xu Xiangyang was already asleep, covered with a patched quilt.
"Hurry up and eat, it's getting cold," Wang Xiumin urged him to sit on the kang (heated brick bed).
Xu Guangtian didn't say much. He was exhausted that day, not from the physical labor, but from the mental strain of worry.
"What's wrong with you?" Wang Xiumin asked in a low voice.
He seemed down, and I had no idea what had happened.
"It's nothing, Gou Dan's head needs to rest for half a month, the doctor said. If we had money, we would have gone to the hospital, sigh..."
After eating, Xu Guangtian crawled into bed, his face still bearing a solemn expression.
Wang Xiumin cleared away the dishes and chopsticks, then looked at him and said, "Dog Egg's head injury is quite serious, isn't it?"
His statement seems plausible, but the specifics are unclear.
Xu Guangtian rolled over. "I don't know either. Let's see. If it doesn't work, I'll borrow money to take him to see a doctor."
Wang Xiumin didn't ask any more questions and could only hope that Gou Dan was alright.
The next day, before dawn, Xu Xiangyang was awakened by the urge to urinate. He looked at the wooden beam above his head and realized he hadn't been dreaming.
Without thinking twice, he got up, put on his shoes, and ran out. After circling around for a while, he followed his memory to the toilet.
Looking at this simple outhouse surrounded by corn stalks...
There's still a lot to adapt to.
Xu Xiangyang habitually loosened his waistband to relax, and only realized it when he had pulled his pants up properly.
This is just a habit...
He can pee so naturally and then pull up his pants?
God the hell is nature!
Xu Xiangyang quickly ran to the well. There was no water in the washbasin, but there was water in the wooden bucket next to it.
He didn't come to his senses until he washed his hands several times.
So what if you're a man? What's the big deal? You just have to get used to it, you just have to get used to it...
I lay back down on the kang (heated brick bed), and the couple next to me were snoring so loudly it was almost unbearable!
He tossed and turned in frustration, but couldn't fall asleep. How could he possibly sleep? He was a grown man, and his dinner last night had been completely bland; he was starving.
well……
Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but sigh. If only he could go back. He had prepared a bag of snacks before the explosion, including sausages and potato chips.
Ham sausage...
He turned around to face the wall.
Suddenly, a golden cauldron appeared next to him.
this……
Xu Xiangyang sat up abruptly, looking at the sausage in his hand. This definitely shouldn't be here.
Then he remembered something, and silently thought of sausages while imagining his bag full of them...
Sure enough, a black briefcase appeared in front of him.
What's going on here?!
I never expected that at his age of thirty, he would be so excited about something that he wanted to jump for joy.
But that's normal; who wouldn't be surprised if something so amazing existed?
Having grown accustomed to a life of luxury and wealth in his later years, he simply couldn't accept his current existence.
Let alone himself, no one could stand it without someone else. As the old saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Thinking back to the logistics port where the accident happened, what exactly happened?
Suddenly, he appeared in the logistics port, walking barefoot on the ground. The surroundings were eerily quiet, creating a strange atmosphere.
Looking at the mountain of shipping boxes, Xu Xiangyang felt his brain was a bit overwhelmed.
