Fearing that Jiang Xile would leave, Xue Chengjin hurriedly grabbed a vine and was about to jump into the cave, but Jiang Xile quickly stopped him.
"Wrap the vines around your waist, that way even if you can't climb up, I can pull you all up!"
"Oh, okay, okay, thank you, thank you so much, Educated Youth Jiang!"
"Stop with the nonsense, hurry up and get to work this afternoon!"
"Oh, okay, okay!"
Following Jiang Xile's instructions, Xue Chengjin wrapped the vines around his body and then went down into the cave.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu...."
Xue Chengjin called out twice, but Xue Chengyu didn't respond. He reached out and touched her, and good heavens, she had developed a high fever.
At this point, they couldn't care less about anything else. They quickly pulled the person up from the ground, carried him on their back, and after a while, with Jiang Xile's help, finally brought the person out of the cave.
"Thank you so much, Jiang Zhiqing. If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to save Xiaoyu by myself!"
"Don't be so polite. You should hurry and take her to see a doctor. She's badly injured!"
"Okay, I'll go right away, but I'll need to trouble Jiang Zhiqing to speak to the brigade leader for me. I'll ask the brigade leader for leave later after Xiaoyu finishes seeing the doctor!"
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll pass on the message!"
The person had already been rescued, and Jiang Xile didn't plan to get involved any further. Anyway, with her brother Xue Chengjin around, nothing serious would happen.
When Xue Chengyu woke up again, she was already in a hospital bed at the clinic. Noticing her movement, Xue Chengjin immediately came over.
"Xiaoyu, how are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
"elder brother..."
The moment Xue Chengyu saw Xue Chengjin, she broke down and tears streamed down her face.
"Brother... I'm in so much pain... my head is so dizzy..."
"Little Yu, you have a fever, that's why you feel a little dizzy. Your arm is just dislocated, the doctor has already fixed it for you."
"I sprained my ankle, and it'll probably take a while to recover. I need to avoid strenuous activity to prevent further injury."
"What about the emergency harvest? Won't the brigade leader have objections?"
Hearing this, Xue Chengjin felt somewhat gratified. His younger sister had finally grown up and even knew to worry about the brigade leader's attitude.
"Don't worry, this was an accident. Nobody wants to get hurt, and besides, even if you went, you wouldn't be able to do much work."
"I'll take you home later, then I'll take the doctor's diagnosis to the team leader and get you a sick leave certificate. Just rest and recover at home!"
"Brother, it's all my fault for being too willful. This time I made you spend a lot of money again. Are we going to starve?"
"Xiaoyu has really grown up. She's even starting to worry about making a living. Don't worry, I'm here for you. I'll work hard and make sure I can support you!"
Xue Chengyu's eyes were red. She had never done any work since she was a child, but her brother had always been pampered. Now that he had fallen to this state, she could not only not help him, but would only make things worse.
Growing up seems to happen in the blink of an eye. After experiencing the accident on the mountain, Xue Chengyu suddenly became much more sensible.
"Don't overthink it, little sister. Your main task now is to recover from your injuries. If you behave well, that's the best thing you can do for your brother, okay?"
Xue Chengyu nodded.
"Brother, I'll be good. By the way, where's Jiang Xile? I remember she was the one who found me first!"
“That’s right. When I went to find you, I ran into Jiang Zhiqing. She helped me rescue you from the cave, but she’s already gone to work now.”
"Oh, I was going to thank her..."
"Your brother has already thanked her on your behalf. It's not too late to thank her in person once your foot is healed."
"Yes, I will, brother. I won't be as willful as before!"
“My sister used to be very good, but now that she’s grown up, I’m very happy!”
The brother and sister spent the afternoon at the clinic until Xue Chengyu's fever subsided, at which point Xue Chengjin carried them home.
After settling Xue Chengyu in, Xue Chengjin took the doctor's diagnosis to the brigade leader.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Come in! The door isn't locked..."
Li Tiejun had just finished eating and was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool air when he looked up and saw Xue Chengjin standing outside the courtyard.
Li Tiejun had no good impression of the two siblings from Beijing. The day he picked them up, he fully understood what it meant to be unruly, willful, and unreasonable.
But it was his duty, and besides, he was an old man and couldn't argue with a young girl, so he left immediately after dropping her off at the educated youth settlement.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Unexpectedly, after staying at the educated youth settlement for three days, the brother and sister insisted on moving out to live alone.
It just so happens that an old bachelor in the village recently passed away; he had no children, no relatives, and no family. Naturally, his house was taken over by the village committee.
Li Tiejun rented the house to the brother and sister for six yuan a year. The brother and sister rented it for three years, which can be considered as a contribution to the brigade.
However, these two siblings are really not good at working. The brother can barely earn seven work points, while the sister, Xue Chengyu, can't even earn three work points a day without help.
Li Tiejun meant well and reminded them twice, but unfortunately it had no effect, so he stopped paying attention to it afterward.
But during the harvest season, everyone, regardless of who they are, has to work.
When Jiang Xile came to inform him this afternoon, he guessed that Xue Chengyu must have caused trouble again.
"Xue, the educated youth, is here! What's up? Just say it!"
Xue Chengjin touched his nose, knowing that the captain had a problem with him and his sister, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go along with it.
"Captain, I'm so sorry, my little sister Chengyu accidentally fell into an abandoned hunting cave in the back mountain today."
After saying that, he handed over the diagnosis certificate in his hand.
"This is a diagnosis certificate issued by Dr. Wang from the clinic. The little girl still has a fever, her arm is injured, and her ankle is twisted."
That's why I've swallowed my pride and come to you to ask for her leave. I hope the captain can make an exception for her."
Li Tiejun looked at the diagnosis report and confirmed that it was indeed Dr. Wang's handwriting, and it was also stamped with the clinic's official seal. It couldn't be faked.
"Why!"
Li Tiejun sighed, looking at Xue Chengjin with a hint of disappointment, and said:
"Why did you go to the back mountain? Now look what's happened! Alright, let Xue Chengyu rest at home!"
But you can't be delayed here; you have to be at work tomorrow morning, understand?
"I understand, Captain. Don't worry, I'll go to work first thing tomorrow morning, and I definitely won't be late!"
"Just remember this yourself. You need to know that these work points are related to how much grain you get at the end of the year. The more work points you have, the more grain you get."
"I understand, Captain. Don't worry, I'll do my job well!"
"Just remember what you said, otherwise the brigade won't lend you grain at the end of the year!"
"Okay, I understand!"
