Chapter 10 The Bullpen
Zhao Yi had no idea what was happening here.
"Don't bother them when they come over in the future. It's none of our business whether they eat or not. They are just ungrateful bastards."
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing and said.
"This is not good, sir."
Zhang Jing felt something was wrong.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Just listen to me. If you want to live a comfortable life, stay away from them."
Zhao Yi said seriously.
"knew."
Seeing that Zhao Yi's face looked strange, Zhang Jing nodded quickly.
After dinner, Zhao Yi rushed to Li Dequan's house with the wine he bought on the black market today.
At this time, Li Dequan and his family had already eaten and were enjoying the cool air in the yard.
"What's wrong with Su Zhiqing? She can't do any work except teaching. Her family has received so many things from others. Why not send her to an elementary school to be a substitute teacher? That way she can get full work points every month and get a few yuan in subsidies."
Li Dequan's wife Wu Lan looked at Li Dequan and said.
"Do you need to tell me about this? I have already asked her about her willingness. She said her family would send food stamps and other things to her. She was worried that she couldn't teach well, so a literacy class would be a good idea."
Li Dequan shook his head. Su Hong was unable to do any work that required more work points. He felt guilty for accepting so many good things from her.
At this time, Zhao Yi happened to walk into the yard, and the couple quickly stopped the topic.
"Xiaoyi is here, what difficulties did you encounter?"
Li Dequan looked at Zhao Yi and said with a smile, then pointed to the stool beside him and motioned Zhao Yi to sit down.
"It's not a big deal. I just came here to thank Uncle Li for helping me with the division of the family. I don't have much money at home, so I can't give out anything good."
Zhao Yi handed the liquor in his hand to Li Dequan and said with a smile.
"You kid, just come and sit here, why bring any gifts? Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll make you some now."
Wu Lan took the gift with a smile and greeted quickly.
I didn't have a very deep impression of Zhao Yi and Wu Lan. Although they lived in the same village, they had never spoken to each other. I didn't expect that they would become so worldly-wise after getting married.
"We just ate, so don't bother me, Auntie."
Zhao Yi waved his hands quickly.
"You are a child who is still shy when you come to your aunt's house. You won't be able to waste much firewood."
Wu Lan said this and was about to walk towards the kitchen.
"Auntie, I've really eaten. No need to bother."
Zhao Yi shouted hurriedly.
"You child, being shy will make you hungry."
After hearing Zhao Yi's several attempts to refuse, Wu Lan nodded and still made a bowl of honeysuckle wild tea for Zhao Yi and brought it out.
After chatting with Li Dequan and his wife for a few words, Zhao Yi went back to his home.
Looking at Zhao Yi's departing back, the couple looked at each other for a few times, but did not get the information they wanted from each other's eyes.
"What does this kid mean?"
Wu Lan looked at Li Dequan and asked, meaning that why didn't Zhao Yi ask for anything after giving him the gift? He had no relationship with the Zhao family, so he felt a little uneasy accepting the gift for nothing.
They knew what the other party asked for and if they could do it, they would do it, and if they couldn't, they would just return the gift. But after chatting for a long time, they still couldn't hear what Zhao Yi asked for, which made the couple a little confused.
"Let's wait and see. Maybe he'll bring it up himself in a few days."
Li Dequan thought for a while and said.
As soon as Zhao Yi walked back home, he saw Zhang Jing sitting on the bed, counting the money in her hand under the kerosene lamp. Today Zhao Yi gave her another two dollars, and she bought some wine, chicken, and some daily necessities, leaving only a little money.
"It's true that you can earn more as a boss than working in a forest farm, but I'm a little worried."
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi with some concern. Doing business was not allowed now, and she was worried that Zhao Yi would be caught by the red armband.
"Don't worry, I know what you are doing, just follow me and enjoy the good life."
Zhao Yi smiled, then finished washing up and blew out the kerosene lamp.
Started working overtime at night.
early morning.
As soon as the sun rose, everyone was ready to go to work.
As soon as Zhao Yi opened the door, he saw his father-in-law walking towards him with a backpack on his back. He hurried forward and took the basket from Zhang Fusheng's back.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"I heard from Xiaojing that you just separated and don't have much food. You eat potatoes every day. That won't work. I'll give you some of the food rations at home. You don't have to feel embarrassed. Just return it to us when you have some food stored."
Zhang Fusheng said with a smile.
It was his own daughter who was afraid that Zhao Yi would starve for the sake of his reputation. However, when Zhang Jing returned home, Zhang Fusheng saw that she had not lost weight but had gained a little weight. She also had fish soup every night, which showed that Zhao Yi was a capable man.
Hearing his father-in-law say this, Zhao Yi couldn't refuse and quickly invited his father-in-law into the house.
"Xiao Jing, Dad is here to see us."
Zhao Yi shouted into the house.
When Zhang Jing heard this, she hurried out of the house. When she saw that it was Zhang Fusheng, she smiled happily and walked quickly to Zhang Fusheng and called out to him.
"Dad must have gotten up very early. He probably hasn't eaten yet. Go and cook for him first."
Zhao Yi walked back to the room and took out the pastries that he had bought as snacks for Zhang Jing from the cupboard. He asked his father-in-law to take these back for his mother-in-law and the others to try when he left.
"That's when we split up the family business. Don't buy too much of these things. One pound is enough to buy a lot of food. It's really true that young people don't know how to run a family."
Zhang Fusheng looked at the pastries handed to him by Zhao Yi and said with a stern face.
"Dad, this is a little gift from us. We will definitely save money as much as possible. We even bought three chickens."
As Zhao Yi spoke, he released the chickens from the utility room and began to repair the broken fence.
Seeing Zhao Yi busying around, being filial, and being good to his daughter, Zhang Fusheng nodded with satisfaction.
He took two pieces of cakes and put the rest back into the main room.
After breakfast, they prepared to leave. Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing saw Zhang Fusheng out of the village and then walked towards the team headquarters.
Zhao Yi's job was to carry manure to fertilize the seedlings.
Halfway up the hill.
Below is the cowshed of Wangou Village.
Zhao Yi came here to pick up manure and happened to meet the unlucky Su Hong, who walked over with a lot of things in his hands.
Su Hong was a little surprised to see someone in the cowshed.
But Su Hong didn't know Zhao Yi.
As I guessed, this girl was not incapable of working, but did it on purpose. She came to Wangou Village to join the team because of the people in the cowshed of Wangou Village.
However, these things had nothing to do with Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi did not say hello to the other party and went straight to the cowshed to start shoveling manure.
Su Hong distributed the things in her hand to the people in the cowshed one by one. This move surprised Zhao Yi a little. He thought that the other party was taking care of one person alone, but he didn't expect that these people all knew Su Hong.
"You are so brave, you came here in broad daylight. Don't do this again next time, or I will not recognize you."
An old man with gray hair complained.
"Got it. I'll definitely pay attention next time."
Su Hong nodded.
