Chapter 136 Tang Xiaotian and Li Cheng return to the city smoothly
It was dawn.
Li Mei was the first to wake up.
Seeing that no one was sitting next to Tang Xiaotian, she got dressed, washed up, and put all her toiletries in the box.
Zhao Meili saw it and asked her, "Why did you put away the toiletries?"
Li Mei answered irrelevantly, "Did Xiaotian have diarrhea again?"
Zhao Meili shook her head, "I don't know."
The educated youth woke up one after another and began to wash up.
Everyone found that Tang Xiaotian's washbasin was missing.
Everyone checked their own things and found nothing missing.
At this time, everyone found that Tang Xiaotian's quilt and pillow on the kang were also missing.
Not only that, all of Tang Xiaotian's things were missing.
Yan Xiaohua said, "Could there be a thief in our room?"
Li Mei thought for a moment, then left the house and went to Li Cheng's room.
Li Cheng's house was locked.
The educated youth also came out, and seeing that Tang Xiaotian and Li Cheng were missing, they guessed that they had gone to the hospital.
After all, their symptoms were not mild.
The two people who were supposed to go back to the city did not go back, and the rest of the people were more or less happy.
When others were having breakfast, Li Mei went to the village chief's house.
Just as she was about to enter the yard of the village chief's house, she saw Shen Jiale coming out of the village chief's house.
"Jiale, have you seen Xiaotian?"
Shen Jiale said with a smile: "She and Li Cheng went to the hospital last night."
"Is it serious? They haven't come back yet."
"Do you hope they are serious?"
Li Mei was a little flustered: "Jiale, you...what do you mean?"
"It's nothing, it's just to see if you care about them."
Li Mei forced a smile and said, "Of course I care about them, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the village chief to ask about their situation."
The village chief came out of the house and said, "They should be at the station now."
Li Mei was surprised, "They were so seriously ill, didn't they go to the hospital?"
The village chief said, "They went to the hospital at night and left at dawn."
Li Mei said a little sadly, "Tang Xiaotian is so mean. She left without telling me. We usually have such a good relationship, but she actually left behind my back."
Shen Jiale smiled and said, "Xiaotian was worried about saying hello to you, so they couldn't leave."
"Why...why couldn't they leave?"
Shen Jiale asked back, "Don't you know?"
Li Mei's eyes dodged, not daring to look Shen Jiale in the eye: "How should I know."
"At first, when you had no place to live, it was Xiaotian who took you to live with Grandma Zhou. I thought everyone would be jealous of Xiaotian, but you wouldn't. I didn't expect that it was you who backstabbed her."
"You...what are you talking about, didn't Xiaotian leave?"
Seeing that Li Mei was still pretending to be confused, Shen Jiale said directly: "Do you want me to take last night's porridge to the hospital for testing?"
Li Mei's face turned pale when she heard this.
After a while, Li Mei looked up at Shen Jiale and said, "Not everyone is as indifferent to the opportunity to return to the city as you are.
You have a family, a factory, and a husband who loves you. As for me, I am either digging ditches or working in the fields every day. If there is an opportunity in front of me, why shouldn't I fight for it?
Xiaotian is good to me, and I appreciate it, but she lives a more comfortable life than the other educated youths in the educated youth center. It doesn't matter if she stays. Why can't you give me this opportunity to return to the city first?"
Shen Jiale chuckled and said, "So, you should give Tang Xiaotian to me . I trampled on your friendship, hurt others, and still felt wronged."
Li Mei was not ashamed, but said to Shen Jiale: "You talk as if you care a lot about friendship.
We are both educated youth, and you have the ability to open a factory, why don't you recruit all of us educated youth to work in the biscuit factory?
If everyone has an easy job, how can I give up my friendship with Xiaotian for a place to return to the city?"
Shen Jiale said: "Now I am very glad that I made the decision."
Li Mei went back disappointed without getting the result she wanted.
The village head's wife heard the conversation between the two people in the house, and came out and said: "Fortunately, we didn't recruit these educated youths. Each of them has eight hundred minds.
Can't she see what you have done for the village?"
Shen Jiale said: "She didn't benefit directly, so of course she won't accept my favor."
"The educated youth institute also raised a lot of chickens. She just has no conscience. Stay away from people like this in the future."
Shen Jiale was not sad about what Li Mei did, because it was not directed at her.
After experiencing those things in her previous life, she was wary of everyone.
...
Yesterday, I analyzed it with Li Cheng and Tang Xiaotian. When they were having a dinner with the educated youths, Li Mei took the initiative to serve them rice.
Later, after Tang Xiaotian had diarrhea and vomited, she couldn't get up from the bed. It was also Li Mei who cooked for her and also cooked for Li Cheng.
Mingming felt a little better after going to the toilet several times, but it got worse again after a while.
During this time, they both drank the water poured by Li Mei and ate the food she cooked.
Knowing that the problem was with Li Mei, they became defensive.
Tang Xiaotian just found out that it was Li Mei who did it, and wanted to confront her.
Shen Jiale said that the most important thing for them at the moment was to leave Yaoshui Village, rather than wasting time attacking Li Mei.
Li Cheng also agreed with Shen Jiale's approach.
With the help of Shen Jiale, the two got the introduction letter and certificate from the village chief, went to the county town overnight, stayed in the guesthouse, and left at dawn.
The people at the Youth Educatorate Institute didn't know all this, and thought that the two went to the hospital for treatment and couldn't return to the city, so they had a chance.
In my previous life, whenever someone wanted to go back to the city, there were always a lot of problems.
Those who returned to the city were not the ones who got the quota initially.
Shen Jiale herself had encountered this before, but it was not her, but Jiang Haoran.
Jiang Haoran, who got the quota to return to the city, was extremely happy. However, the day before he left, he slipped while going up the mountain and broke his leg. He was hospitalized for treatment, which delayed his return to the city.
She still doesn't know whether this was an accident or man-made.
...
When Shen Jiale was about to leave, Gou Ya came running in, panting and saying that Zhou Min had started.
Shen Jiale hurried back.
Lu Yongfu, Lu Mingqi and Zhou Min's father were outside the yard, milling around like ants on a hot pot.
In the room, Zhou Min was lying on the bed groaning.
Zhou Min's mother and Liang Qiaoli were also in the room, and they had prepared scissors, hot water, etc. for delivery.
Shen Jiale came in and asked, "Sister-in-law, aren't you going
to the hospital to give birth?" Zhou Min's mother said, "Xiao Min's fetal position is normal. Your mother and I have both given birth before, and there is no problem with delivering the baby, so we won't go to the hospital and spend money.
" Zhou Min didn't think much about it at first. Most people in the countryside give birth at home. When Shen Jiale asked, she asked, "Sister-in-law, is it better to go to the hospital to give birth?"
In her previous life, Shen Jiale seemed to have heard that Zhou Min suffered during childbirth, but she was not very clear about the specific situation.
Shen Jiale said, "I don't mean to say anything bad, but it's very dangerous for women to give birth. Going to the hospital, in case of any emergency, there are doctors and life safety can be guaranteed."
Zhou Min thought about it and it made sense. Her family was not short of money now, so there was no reason to joke with her life to save some money.
Then she called Lu Mingqi who was outside and said that she was going to the hospital to give birth.
Lu Mingqi pushed out the Braun bicycle
. Zhou Min was worried that she would not be able to sit still on the bicycle because of the pain. Lu Yongfu who was outside heard it and ran to borrow a flatbed cart.
He spread a blanket on the flatbed cart, and Lu Mingqi carried Zhou Min to lie on the flatbed cart, covered her with a thin blanket, and quickly and steadily pulled the flatbed cart to the town hospital.
