Chapter 117: A Lot of Fun
In the end, the Kang family compromised with Kang Xiaoxia.
But until the afternoon, Kang Xiaoxia still couldn't leave the house.
After hearing the news, Zhao Kai specially arranged for people from the security department to go to Kang's house.
Kang Xiaoxia was about to go out with her bedding, but was stopped by her mother.
She stood stubbornly at the door watching Kang's mother cry, without much expression on her face.
"If you go back on your word, I don't need to tell you the consequences, right?" Deng Ming from the Security Department crossed his arms.
Kang Dachun hung his head. If Kang Xiaoxia was not allowed to leave, he would have to be taken away. He didn't want to go in.
"Mom, let her go."
If he continued to argue, he would probably be sent to clean the toilet when Kang Dachun came out.
In the end, the four members of the Kang family watched Kang Xiaoxia walk away.
The bustle in the factory had not yet died down when the roar of a tractor suddenly came from the gate.
Grandpa Wang, the gatekeeper, adjusted his reading glasses and squinted his eyes at the tractor coming in the dust.
There were several country people, both men and women, wearing coarse clothes sitting on the cart. Next to them were several sacks piled up, which looked like grain.
The gatekeeper was the old man who had found Kong Shunan to lead the way for Jiang Haitang.
He stuck his head out.
"Comrade, I'm looking for someone!" The captain asked loudly, waving his hands in his sleeves.
The weather was cold and everyone in the car was frozen along the way.
"We are from the Qingshuigou Brigade, looking for Li Shengli!"
The old man was stunned. Today, someone came from Qingshuigou again.
He looked up and down at the group of people, and his eyes fell on a figure half-covered by a quilt in the corner of the truck bed. It was a white-haired old woman.
Could it be Lee Seung-ri’s mother?
"Go straight and turn left at the third fork." The old man pointed in the direction, watched the tractor rumble away, and smacked his lips. "There's more fun to watch."
There were many forks in the road leading into the factory. The team leader led his men to ask questions along the way. By the time they found Li Shengli, more than half an hour had passed, and it also attracted many people to follow and watch the fun.
When everyone saw someone driving a tractor to look for Li Shengli, they were all envious and jealous.
Someone with sharp eyes noticed that the sacks in the truck bed seemed to be grain.
"My goodness, how many work points does it take to earn this?"
Some people also grumbled with pouting lips: "Lee Seung-ri, that bastard, the wicked and smoking thing, why does he have such good fortune?"
When the tractor stopped in front of Li Shengli's dormitory, Li Shengli was having dinner with Liang Suya.
The aroma of braised pork wafted out from the crack in the door, causing the onlookers to swallow their saliva secretly.
When there was a knock on the door, Liang Suya was picking up a piece of trembling meat, and oil was dripping from the chopsticks onto her blue apron.
When Li Shengli opened the door, the first thing he saw was his mother Wu Xiuyun being held up by two people, with her left leg stiffly dragging on the ground.
"Mom, why are you here? Are you here to see me and Suya?"
Wu Xiuyun didn't look at Li Shengli, her cloudy eyes were fixed on the braised pork in Liang Suya's hand.
She had been feeling depressed for the past few months, and her mood became even worse when she saw Liang Suya wearing new clothes and preparing to eat meat.
This woman is married to her son, but he has never visited her as an old woman. She is definitely not a good person.
"If the sons and daughters-in-law don't come back to the village to see me, I, an old woman, have to make this trip. Otherwise, I won't even know whether my daughter-in-law is red or green."
Li Shengli could tell that his mother had a bad attitude and knew that she was angry.
But Li Shengli knew in his heart that it was he and Liang Suya who did something wrong. Since they got married, they have never gone back once.
But every time he said he wanted to go back, Liang Suya would get sick. He also knew that Liang Suya was worried, afraid that people in the village would talk about her if she went back.
"Mom, please go inside first and talk inside. We're making fun of each other outside."
Li Shengli looked at the people who followed him and hurriedly smiled and persuaded Wu Xiuyun.
Li Qiulan finally climbed down from the car and ran to Li Shengli in two or three steps.
"Brother, I finally found you."
As she spoke, Li Qiulan began to sob, looking as if she had suffered a lot of injustice.
After not seeing each other for many years, Li Shengli actually doesn't have much affection for his sister.
But she was a little girl after all, so he still comforted her: "What's wronged you? Move your things into the house first, and we'll talk slowly."
Wu Qiulan had been helped to the door and saw a large bowl of bright red braised pork on the table. Her eyes lit up and she couldn't help smacking her lips and sniffing hard.
However, she immediately turned stern and scolded: "Why are you eating meat when it's not a festival? Are you going to celebrate in the future? You only know how to eat it. If you don't eat it, you'll die."
Liang Suya didn't expect that her mother-in-law would give her a show of power before she even entered the door.
Li Shengli quickly gave Liang Suya a wink to comfort her.
"Mom, please go inside and sit down to eat. I'll move the things."
He saw the huge amount of food in the car. He had been living a very tight life recently. If he had this food, his life would be much better.
After all, she is his mother and she loves him.
"I haven't recognized you all in all these years since I left. Come to my house and have a drink of water before going back."
As Li Shengli said this, he started moving things.
Zhao Zhijian snorted coldly and said, "Dazhu, help me drop the things down."
A young man responded and threw two torn quilts and a package under the car.
Li Shengli's face looked unhappy. Wouldn't it be better to just move it down?
What does it mean to drop it?
However, looking at the food on the cart, he suppressed his anger and prepared to move the food.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand approached the bag of grain, the team leader slapped it away.
"Li Ergou, what are you doing?" the captain said unhappily.
"Isn't this food sent to me? I thought I'd do it myself, so I won't bother you."
"Send you food? Our team has more than enough food to eat. We can even feed the pigs and get a few more pounds of meat. Why should I send it to you?" The team leader felt annoyed when he looked at Li Shengli, and his tone of voice was naturally bad.
Li Shengli was scolded and didn't know why. He looked around and saw a young man, who should be his younger brother.
"Are you Shengjie?"
Li Shengjie didn't move, just nodded.
"Tell me what's going on?" Li Shengli asked.
Li Shengjie didn't say anything.
"Brother, they all bullied us orphans and widows. You don't know how much suffering my mother, my second brother, and I have endured in the past few months."
Li Qiulan began to sob again.
"Master Duan, let's go."
The captain didn't care to look at the family of three and said to the man driving the car.
"food……"
"The grain is not yours, it belongs to Haitang." Zhao Zhijian interrupted Li Shengli and rolled his eyes at him.
"Jiang Haitang's? Why do you want to send her so much food?" Li Shengli asked immediately.
There is a lot of food in the car. Why should it be given to Jiang Haitang? Shouldn't it be given to his own family?
"Why? Because he works more in the brigade. Don't you know what immoral things he has done? How dare you ask?"
After the team leader finished scolding people, Master Zhao had already driven away.
But after taking only two steps, he thought of a very important question: he still didn't know where Haitang lived.
"Uncle, are you looking for Jiang Haitang?" a little kid asked loudly.
"Yes, do you know where she lives?" Zhao Zhijian asked with a smile.
"You live next door to me. Can I get on the tractor and lead the way?" Who else could it be but Kong Shunan?
Zhao Zhijian immediately smiled and said, "Come on, little guy, I'll pull you up."
Kong Shunan was like a naughty monkey. He didn't need Zhao Zhijian's help at all. He jumped onto the tractor without any help.
He touched all over the tractor, obviously very interested.
After he had finished feeling around, he said, "Go forward in this direction and turn right in front."
"Uncle, who are you? Why are you looking for Aunt Haitang?"
"I'm from her hometown, and I'm bringing her this year's grain."
Kong Shunan, the community's smart kid, chatted with Zhao Zhijian and others all the way, leaving Li Shengli's family dumbfounded.
Li Shengli asked, "Mom, what's going on? Why are these grains being given to Jiang Haitang?"
Li Shengli was very sad because he saw it but couldn't get it.
"The brigade separated our work points books. When they calculated the accounts at the end of the year, Jiang Haitang's food was not given to our family. They brought it all to her."
Li Shengli felt very uncomfortable when he heard his mother say this.
Liang Suya's expression became even uglier.
I had thought before that it would be nice to bring some food as a subsidy.
But now the food has been taken away, leaving only three people and two tattered quilts. What does this mean?
Do you want to stay here?
"What about ours? Mom, life in the city is not easy. Why don't you bring some food?" Li Shengli asked.
After asking this question, Wu Xiuyun couldn't control her tears again.
"Ergou, mother, your brother and sister can't survive in the countryside anymore. We are so disabled and small that we can't earn any work points. We have run out of food..." Wu Xiuyun said while wiping her tears with her clothes.
Out of food?
Li Shengli only heard these three words.
How many people are there in the family? What do they do all day to eat? How could they run out of food?
On the other side, Kong Shunan brought Zhao Zhijian and a few others to the door of Jiang Haitang's house.
"Little kid, did you take the wrong path? Haitang lives here?" Zhao Zhijian asked in disbelief.
I just went there, and although I didn't go into Li Shengli's room, I saw it. It was just a single room dormitory.
How come Haitang, who just started working, can live in a house with a yard?
Wow, this is incredible.
"You brought it correctly. Don't worry, it will definitely fit. Aunt Haitang, Aunt Haitang, someone is looking for you." Kong Shunan shouted loudly.
Jiang Haitang was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard Kong Shunan's voice, she hurried out.
When Jiang Haitang saw Zhao Zhijian, she was stunned for a moment.
When Zhao Zhijian saw Jiang Haitang, he couldn't believe that the girl in the beautiful sweater was the Jiang Haitang he knew.
"Captain, why are you here?"
When Jiang Haitang asked the question, the captain heard the familiar voice and finally confirmed that this was Jiang Haitang who grew up in their team.
