Chapter 79 Sigh
"Sister-in-law, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."
Zhao Qin looked at Li Daju and spoke with some embarrassment.
"Whatever it is, we are a family and there is no need to hide anything."
Li Daju was a little confused. What happened to her girl today? She used to be the type who spoke her mind.
"When we came back from the village, I heard the captain's wife Wu Lan say that there was an accident at the mine today. As soon as you arrived at the scene, you asked the mine leader how much compensation you could get if something happened.
What would my brother think if he knew about this? ”
Zhao Qin thought about it and said.
Wu Lan is the loudspeaker of the village. If she knew these gossips, she would definitely share them with everyone in the village at the first opportunity.
"It's not a big deal. I tell you, don't forget what people say outside. When your brother was going to the coal mine, I secretly went to Grandma Yang's house. You should know what Grandma Yang is capable of. She said that your brother can live to be 80 years old and there will be no disaster.
When my family gave birth to three boys, I was hoping for a girl. I went to Grandma Yang's house and gave her some gifts. Xiaoxiao was born as a girl. ”
Li Daju said indifferently.
Everyone in the family frowned when they heard this. They couldn't bring up this matter now. If there was an outsider here, Li Daju would be committing a crime in defiance of the law.
"Sister-in-law, that's superstition, don't take it seriously."
Zhao Yu shook his head helplessly.
"Look, there were so many people buried in the coal mine accident, but your eldest brother was fine. You guys just don't believe in these things. Okay, I won't say anything more. Your eldest brother knows about this. I even asked Grandma Yang for a peace charm to sew into his clothes."
Li Daju didn't care whether others believed it or not, she believed it anyway.
The people at the village entrance were still gossiping.
"By the way, Director Wu, where are your daughter and daughter-in-law?"
A woman looked at Wu Lan and asked.
"I went to work in the region, and they were recruiting just in time."
When the topic came up, Wu Lan said a few perfunctory words and hurried home. If she talked too much, she would definitely let something slip.
"The pot is still burning at home. I'll go back and take a look while you guys chat."
early morning.
Zhao Yi still took a leave and returned to the village. Although he did not get a good rest yesterday, he still came back as soon as he got the news. After all, he was his biological father, and if something happened, he would still have to come back to see him off.
In fact, Zhao Yi went to the coal mine first, but they were still busy with rescue work and no one had the time to help Zhao Yi inquire.
Zhao Yi knocked on the gate.
After a while, Li Daju opened the door.
"Boss, why are you back?"
Li Daju asked in confusion.
"I heard there was an accident at the mine, so I came back to see if my dad is okay."
Zhao Yi asked.
"Your father is very lucky. When I went there yesterday, he was still alive and kicking, helping everyone move things. Your aunt and the others came to ask about him last night. When they heard that he was fine, he took a rest all night and rushed back to work before dawn."
Li Daju said happily.
"It's good that he's okay. I have to go back, too. If possible, I'd better ask my dad to stop working in the mines and buy him some gifts and get him a job above ground."
Zhao Yi was relieved to hear that everything was fine, otherwise he would have to suffer for several days.
"Just go and do your work. Don't always ask for leave. Don't worry about your dad. He has been assigned to work on the surface and won't be working in the mines anymore."
After saying this, Li Daju walked into the inner room, rummaged through the drawers and took out something.
"Help mom take these things to the third brother and the others."
"Mom, I'm so busy at work that I don't have time to deliver anything. If I hadn't heard about this, I wouldn't have been able to take a leave. Let my dad deliver it when he's rested. I'll go home first."
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the mountains.
I get annoyed when I see three ungrateful people, so don't even think about taking the initiative to go find them.
Seeing Zhao Yi's attitude, Li Daju didn't force it and wanted to find a reason to ease the relationship between the brothers, but Zhao Yi's attitude clearly showed that he didn't want to reconcile.
The bus back to the county station would not leave until the evening, and Zhao Yi would be able to get home in the evening even if he took the mountain road.
Not to mention how much I saved on transportation costs, it at least saved me more than two hours of time getting home.
When Zhao Yi got home, the factory had already closed for work.
Li Fang, Peng Yiju and Zhang Jing came to Zhao Yi's house. The three of them were having dinner at that time. When they saw Zhao Yi coming back, they smiled a little embarrassedly.
"how's it going?"
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"It's okay. Dad didn't go down the mine."
Zhao Yi responded.
"What is it?"
Peng Yiju looked at Zhang Jing and asked.
"The commune's coal mine collapsed. Brother Yi asked for leave and rushed back after hearing what Director Li said. He was afraid that something might happen to my father-in-law in the coal mine."
Hearing this, the bowl in Peng Yiju's hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
His eyes immediately turned to Zhao Yi.
"Brother Yi, my boss is also in the coal mine. Is he okay?"
Li Fang also reacted at this time and looked very anxious, as if he wanted to return to the village immediately.
"It's okay. When I went back, I happened to meet Director Wu. He was having a meeting with the villagers with a rosy face. If there was something wrong, he wouldn't look like that. I also talked to the team leader for a few words. Li Chao is in the coal mine and is helping with the rescue. He said that he will return to the village to work after the rescue is completed and will not work in the coal mine anymore."
Zhao Yi pressed his hand to signal the two of them not to be anxious, and then hurriedly spoke.
"That's good, that's good. If it's dangerous, then we won't go."
Peng Yiju immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Fang's expression also eased a lot.
"But I heard that there are many people trapped in the cave by the landslide. The coal mine is now digging down 24 hours a day. I don't know how long the people inside can hold out."
Zhao Yi sighed and said.
In his previous life, Zhao Yi was trapped inside for three days. Fortunately, there was a water source inside. Although he didn't know whether it was clean or not, he couldn't care less about that under the circumstances at the time, and people from outside kept digging inside.
The people inside also kept digging outwards.
When I feel tired, I take a rest and drink some water nearby. My survival instinct tells me that I must persevere. Not many people were injured in the last accident. I don’t know if it will be the same in this life. I hope that the fewer people get into accidents, the better.
After hearing what Zhao Yi said, the two of them didn't want Li Chao to go to work in the coal mine anymore. Now, even if Li Chao didn't go to work in the coal mine, the family would still have an income of more than 20 yuan a month.
After the two of them finished their meal, they were no longer in the mood to chat with Zhang Jing. Zhao Yi sent them back to the garment factory and then walked back.
The cold wind at night blew on his body, making Zhao Yi unconsciously wrap his clothes around himself.
I don't know why my heart still skipped a beat when I heard about the coal mine collapse.
After returning home and washing up for a while, Zhao Yi lay down on the bed, looking at the dark roof with his eyes open.
"What's on the mind of the head of the family?"
In the quiet room, Zhang Jing nudged Zhao Yi and asked softly.
"Hey! Why is it that human life is always so fragile, as if it could be taken away by an invisible force at any time?"
Zhao Yi put his hand down and hugged Zhang Jing tightly in his arms and said.
"This question is so profound that I don't know how to answer it."
Zhang Jing thought for a moment and responded.
