Chapter 81 Zhao Dahai's Grievances
Several days passed in a flash.
The coal mine rescue mission has been completed. The landslide did not cause much casualties and most of the people buried underneath were rescued. The coal mine also learned some lessons and invited technicians from the provincial capital to provide guidance.
The coal mine will not be open for the next half month.
Zhao Dahai walked back home with a tired look on his face. He had hardly slept these days. At most, he would close his eyes and rest for three or four hours, and then continue to work with the rescue team.
To thank the rescue team, the coal mine bought several pigs to entertain them and also gave each person who participated in the rescue a ticket for one pound of pork.
Comrades who were afraid and unwilling to go to work were paid wages.
Not many people chose to quit after this landslide. Only Li Chao from Wangou Village did not want to continue working due to family reasons.
As soon as Zhao Dahai returned to the village, he was stopped by several women and whispered to them.
Zhao Dahai nodded.
When I got home, I saw Li Daju feeding the pigs.
"The pig is only that big and you cooked so much pig food. Are you trying to stuff the pig to death?"
Zhao Dahai began to find fault deliberately.
"Boss, you haven't been beaten in years. You want to relive it today. I don't need you to nag me when I do things. I'm afraid you miss my brothers' hoes and rakes."
Li Daju looked at Zhao Dahai and immediately threw the pig food ladle to the ground, saying angrily.
Zhao Dahai's legs started shaking when he mentioned this. He recalled the first fight, when many people from the Li family came and all the hoes and rakes they brought were broken. Zhao Dahai lay in bed for more than ten days without being able to get out of bed. From then on, he never dared to offend Li Daju.
Lijia Village is far away from Wangou Village. It is the headquarters of the First Brigade of the Red Star Commune. It is a large village with nearly a few thousand people living in it. Most of the people in the village are surnamed Li, especially my daughter-in-law Li Daju's family.
Close relatives are twenty or so brothers and sisters, all of whom are cousins.
Zhao Yi's family does not have many relatives in Wangou Village. His father, Zhao Dahai, has four brothers and sisters. His two aunts are married in the city, and there is a younger uncle, but there has been no contact with them for a long time.
It seems that my uncle has some conflicts with his father. Since the old lady passed away, the two of them have hardly spoken to each other. However, he visits his two aunts more frequently.
He had almost no involvement in any of the family's affairs, big or small. Compared with the more united Li family, the Zhao family seemed lonely.
"I'm just saying that the weather is cold now. If you cook so much pig food, how will the pigs eat it if it gets cold later?"
Zhao Dahai suddenly wilted, and his tone became particularly soft.
"How do you eat? Eat with your mouth. Why don't you heat it up before feeding it if it's cold? Did you get hurt in the coal mine today?"
Li Daju looked at Zhao Dahai and said.
"That's right. That's right."
Zhao Dahai didn't know what to say.
"That's it, that's it, that's it, you can't even explain it clearly."
Li Daju asked while looking at the pigs in the pen.
Now the two pigs raised by Zhao Yi weigh almost two hundred kilograms. The pigs in the village farm are only two-thirds the size of Zhao Yi's two pigs.
"The rumor in the village is that you went to the coal mine to ask how much compensation you would get if I died."
Zhao Dahai still spoke out what was in his heart, and his face was full of grievance after he finished speaking.
"You are living a good life, I just asked casually, Grandma Yang said you can live to 80 years old, how old are you now? Besides, didn't I give you a lucky charm, don't you see it works?"
Li Daju waved her hand indifferently.
"My boss told me to buy some things to switch to the ground because he said it was unsafe underground. I happened to get the job underground when I switched."
When Zhao Dahai thought of this, he was filled with gratitude towards Zhao Yi. If it hadn't been for his son's reminder, he might have really been buried underground. Although accidents rarely happen, there is no guarantee that he won't be the one to get hurt.
"I've already told you that what Grandma Yang said is very effective. Besides, didn't I give you a talisman? What do they mean by you losing a piece of flesh or I losing a piece of flesh?
By the way, aren’t you going to work today? ”
Li Daju didn't care what the villagers said at all. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. All she had to do was to go look for Grandma Yang without being caught by the militia captain Liu Qi.
"The coal mine is closed for the holidays. We don't have to go to work during this period, but we will receive salary subsidies. We can resume work after the technicians and construction team restore the access road, or we can choose another place to open the access road."
Zhao Dahai responded.
After listening to Li Daju's explanation, I felt much better. It turned out that my wife knew that nothing would happen to her and asked out of curiosity.
"Since you are not at work, you can deliver these things to Xiaoxiao and the others. And by the way, go ask the boss when the pigs at home will be sent to the slaughterhouse."
Li Daju took out the thing she handed to Zhao Yi that day, looked at Zhao Dahai and said.
"Wait till I have a day off. I haven't been able to sleep well these past few days."
After saying that, Zhao Dahai walked into the inner room and prepared to go to bed. Li Daju brought a basin of hot water, woke up the sleeping Zhao Dahai, and asked him to wash up before resting.
early morning.
Zhao Dahai was about to go out with his things on his back when he ran into Li Chao who was also heading to the commune with his things on his back.
"Uncle."
Li Chao saw Zhao Dahai and greeted him with a smile.
Zhao Dahai is a few months older than Li Dequan, but because he is the team leader, no one usually discusses seniority with him unless they are from the same family. Otherwise, everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, calls him team leader when they see him.
"Where are you going so early?"
Zhao Dahai asked casually.
"I'm going to the district. My younger sister and wife both work in the district. They are temporary workers in the same factory as Zhang Jing. I'm going to give them some things."
Li Chao said with a smile that he was very happy to hear the news after he quit his job at the coal mine. He had wanted to go to the district yesterday, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness after so many days.
I had a good rest yesterday and prepared to head to the city at dawn today.
Zhao Dahai was also very surprised to hear the news. It was no small matter for his aunt and sister-in-law to go to the district to work as workers at the same time. If they became regular workers in the future, he didn't know how easy life would be at home.
Although his family also had formal workers, Zhao Yi's attitude towards them had softened, but it didn't seem like he wanted to take them in to support them. At most, he could guarantee that they would not go hungry every month.
"Is there a serious labor shortage in this city recently? Xiaoyi went to work there, and my wife went to work as a temporary worker in a garment factory. It hasn't been long since Li Fang and the others were also recruited as temporary workers."
Zhao Dahai was a little confused.
Li Chao heard the whole story from his father yesterday, so he naturally knew the inside story. He smiled at the topic and said he didn't know, maybe it was good luck, and didn't talk about it anymore.
If there is a serious labor shortage in the city, would a director of such a high rank be willing to send his children to the countryside?
Li Chao was very grateful to Zhao Yi, even if Zhao Yi was only responsible for matchmaking, these two jobs would not have been possible without this middleman.
