Chapter 67 The Iron Tree is Finally About to Bloom



Lu Wanqing told Zhao Xiaolan to stay with Aunt Luo, while she took Lin Ye to the supply and marketing cooperative.

With the house situation settled, there's no need to spend money building another room. Instead, I'll just buy a bicycle, which will make it more convenient for Lin Ye to come to the county town in the future.

Lu Wanqing was delighted to have 200 yuan and an industrial coupon in her pocket, but Lin Ye didn't want her to spend the money on that.

"Qingqing, let's buy more cloth and make you new clothes!"

“We can’t just focus on making money; we also need to know how to enjoy life.” Lu Wanqing held his hand, her mind resolute.

Soon, they bought a Forever brand bicycle, and Lin Ye rode it back to the hospital with her.

It was past noon, and Aunt Luo's family should have gone home by then, leaving only Luo Chunlei to stay and take care of Luo Hao.

Luo Hao just dislocated his arm and had a wound, nothing serious, but to be on the safe side, he should stay in the hospital for observation for two days.

After Aunt Luo and the others left, Luo Chunlei told Luo Hao about Liu Jie's injury.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? How is Liu Jie?" Luo Hao frowned, his voice full of worry.

He felt a pang of guilt; if he hadn't gone out to look for him, he wouldn't have gotten into this mess!

Because he knew he couldn't hunt without following the forest, and driven by his competitive spirit and the thought that there would be plenty of prey after the rain, he rashly went up the mountain. Not only did he get injured and worry his family, but he also implicated others.

Luo Chunlei: "Mom was afraid you would overthink it, so she didn't let me tell you."

Lin Ye had just learned from Lu Wanqing about the educated youth's injury and comforted him, saying, "Don't blame yourself. If they hadn't been lazy and had followed the group, they wouldn't have encountered wild boars."

"We were able to enjoy wild boar meat this time thanks to you! Liu Jie's injury will heal after a while," Lu Wanqing chimed in.

Ultimately, those educated youth had only themselves to blame.

I wonder if Xu Ying and Li Yulan have been found yet. If they weren't so malicious, they wouldn't have had to suffer in the cave all night.

With everyone's comfort, Luo Hao's emotions gradually calmed down, and Lin Ye left the hospital with peace of mind.

On the old-fashioned bicycle, Zhao Xiaolan held Xueqiu in the back, Lu Wanqing sat in the front, and Lin Ye still rode with ease.

Lu Wanqing held onto the front of her hand, leaning against Lin Ye's chest, feeling very content.

In her previous life, Lin Ye bought her luxury cars and never let her be exposed to wind and rain. Unexpectedly, sitting on a bicycle, she felt so free and unrestrained, and it had a unique charm.

As they sped along the road, a pretty figure walked into Luo Hao's ward at the hospital.

"How did you get hurt?" After saying goodbye to her nurse friend in the corridor, Mu Xiaoting walked into the ward, put her hands behind her back, and asked him curiously.

Luo Hao didn't want her to see his embarrassing state, so he quickly sat up straight and said nonchalantly, "It's just a small injury, why are they making such a fuss? What are you doing here?"

“That nurse was my friend, I came over to visit her.” Mu Xiaoting walked closer to him, leaning her buttocks against the edge of the hospital bed next to her.

Luo Hao involuntarily shifted back, thinking to himself, "Where did that kid Chunlei run off to?"

At this moment, the nurse came over with an iron tray to change his dressing, so he had to unbutton his hospital gown and take off his left sleeve.

"Hurry up, you're a grown man, why are you being so coy?"

Perhaps because I was undressing a little too slowly, the nurse was getting a bit impatient.

Mu Xiaoting hurried over and helped him pull out his sleeve.

Luo Hao stammered, "No need, I can manage on my own."

While using tweezers to soak a cotton ball in alcohol, the nurse urged, "Don't be shy, just ask your partner to help you!"

Luo Hao's face immediately turned as red as a ripe shrimp, while Mu Xiaoting remained calm and showed no intention of explaining herself despite being misunderstood.

Not only that, Mu Xiaoting simply brought him the meal she had prepared that evening.

When Luo Chunlei saw that a girl had come to visit his second brother, he quickly said, "I'll go and find out more about Liu Jie's condition," and then ran off in a flash.

My second brother kept saying that girls are all annoying, and he would avoid them whenever he saw one. Now he has nowhere to hide!

However, seeing his face burning like a monkey's bottom, I guess the iron tree is finally about to bloom.

Luo Chunlei has seen Liu Jie. He has multiple rib fractures and some minor injuries to his legs and arms. He will probably have to stay in the hospital for ten days to half a month.

The brigade sent someone to take care of him; he's probably throwing a tantrum right now, demanding food and drink!

He harbored resentment towards Zhou Changsheng for sending him to find someone, and kept muttering that the team had to compensate him.

......

At this moment, the threshing ground of Shengli Brigade was bustling with activity, with one person from each family lining up to receive wild boar meat.

The wild boar was fat and large, weighing over 300 jin (150 kg). After removing the head and tail, each team member could get about half a jin (250 g).

For the team members who rarely eat meat throughout the year, receiving a pork share is like celebrating the New Year.

If there are many people in the family, they can get several kilograms at once!

"I never expected Luo Hao to pull this stunt and actually benefit everyone," someone said.

"That's right. It's strange, really. I'd only heard there were wild boars in the deep mountains, but I never expected to run into one right away. Everyone should be careful when going into the mountains from now on," someone chimed in.

Lin Ye rode his bike past and happened to bring home a pound and a half of wild boar meat.

Although there was still some cured meat left at home, wild boar meat was even more delicious.

Before anyone had even left, Su Dazhuang was seen holding half a pound of pork and shouting, "This wild boar was discovered by us educated youth, so why did I only get this little bit?"

The butcher, who was cutting the meat, stuck his knife into the chopping board, put his hands on his hips, and said in a loud voice, "What, you're not happy about it! You coward who wets his pants, you did see the wild boar, but you didn't do a single thing to catch it. If we hadn't arrived in time, you would have lost your life. If you keep making noise, I'll confiscate half a pound of meat from you."

The others echoed, saying that these educated youths were more trouble than they were worth. They had spent half the day searching for Xu Ying and Li Yulan, and they had just caught their breath when they started making so many demands!

Su Dazhuang lowered his head in shame, preparing to slink away, but was stopped by the butcher's loud shout.

He stopped in his tracks, nearly wetting himself in fright again. "Big brother, I don't want it anymore, okay?"

"No, take all the meat from the other educated youths, so I won't be annoyed by seeing them!" The butcher raised his knife and cut off a few more pieces of meat, tied them with straw rope, and threw them into Su Dazhuang's hands.

Looking at Su Dazhuang again, his forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat.

Lu Wanqing had no interest in watching the excitement and urged Lin Ye to ride his bike faster.

Everyone then noticed that Lin Ye was riding a brand new bicycle, and they were filled with envy.

"Isn't it said that urban educated youth who marry him will live a hard life? How come we see them bringing home big bags of things every few days, and now they've even bought a bicycle?"

Lin Ye ignored their envious and jealous looks and pedaled his bicycle very fast. Zhao Xiaolan sat behind him, smiling and waving at everyone, which made the group of women so angry that their teeth chattered.

Even that crazy woman is doing better than them, can't you believe it!

A few minutes later, Lu Wanqing returned home and, while Lin Ye was parking his bicycle, rearranged everything in the house.

She also found a broken mousetrap and sneered. Lin Gou Dan hadn't disappointed her after all!

After finishing everything and going outside, I found that Secretary Yu had rushed over in a great hurry.
