Chapter 39 Commander Xie came to find me, you're all finished.
In addition to Su Xiuxiu, who was seriously injured, many other employees sustained minor injuries in yesterday's landslide.
After treating Zhao Niu's injuries in the same way Xia Fanxing had previously treated him, they went to work as usual today, resolutely adhering to the work motto of "no retreat from the front line even with minor injuries".
Upon hearing this, they immediately joined Zhao Niu in criticizing Qiao Feitian.
"Ouch, it's just a little shock from the pickaxe. Look at me, my fingers are all deformed from being hit, but I'm still working."
"Can we be like her? She's Commander Xie's fiancée!"
"What's wrong with my fiancée? Wasn't she also punished by Commander Xie and sent to work in our company? If it's a punishment, it has to look like one. Is it reasonable to just rest instead of working?"
"Don't say that. What if we make them faint from anger? If we send them to the regimental hospital, who knows which company's seriously injured workers will suffer next?"
Everyone was talking and doing their own work at the same time, without neglecting either task, and no one could find fault with it.
In this environment, Qiao Feitian really wanted to escape.
But coming to the agricultural office to work a day was Xie Jingchen's punishment, and she couldn't escape it.
Qiao Feitian sniffed, picked up the pickaxe from the ground, and prepared to endure the humiliation and continue working.
She wanted the veteran employee to demonstrate it to her again, and this time she would definitely learn it well.
But the old employee's attitude changed drastically, and he said irritably, "I'm doing this, see for yourself."
Qiao Feitian was stunned for a moment, then felt even more aggrieved and wanted to cry.
She imitated the old workers by digging the ground, her hands and feet becoming numb and painful from the repeated thuds.
But she dared not utter another word, and could only swallow her words silently, urging the day to pass quickly in her heart.
On the other side.
"Comrade Xia, stop working and go get some rest." Several older employees forcibly pushed Xia Fanxing out of her place and took her place themselves.
Wherever Xia Fanxing wanted to continue working, that place was packed with people.
The other educated youths also advised her: "These past two days you've helped everyone with their treatment and shared food with them. We all remember your kindness. You shouldn't be using these hands to pick the ground with a pickaxe."
Zhao Niu pushed the wheelchair over, grabbed Xia Fanxing's arm and pulled her to the side, "Sit over there, there's a wall there to block the wind, it'll be warm!"
Xia Fanxing knew that this was everyone's simple and sincere intention, so she stopped resisting and followed Zhao Niu to sit down behind the windbreak wall.
"Comrade Xia, take this and warm your hands." A male employee handed over a glass bottle.
The glass bottle was wrapped in wool, and the temperature of the boiling water radiated through the wool, providing just the right amount of warmth.
Xia Fanxing shook her head and smiled faintly, "No need."
Realizing what was happening, the male employee quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it. I suffered a minor injury yesterday, and after using your method, I woke up this morning to find that my wound is almost completely healed! In the past, I would have been in pain for at least half a month. I just wanted to thank you!"
“Okay,” Xia Fanxing accepted it, her smile cool and aloof. “If you have any questions, feel free to come to me anytime.”
Xia Fanxing sat there, not having to do any work, with a woolen glass bottle to warm her hands, and someone giving her snacks from time to time.
Despite the tingling and numb pain in her hand, Qiao Feitian worked against the biting cold wind, feeling extremely unbalanced compared to Xia Fanxing's situation.
She stood up and said angrily, "I've been working for almost half an hour, I need to rest too!"
Someone retorted, "What's the point of resting for only half an hour? I've been working for two hours and I haven't even complained of being tired yet."
"Then why can she rest all the time?" Qiao Feitian pointed angrily at Xia Fanxing and shouted, "This is not fair!"
"Fairness?" Zhang Renmin's voice came through.
Qiao Feitian looked over and met his serious and cold eyes.
Qiao Feitian quickly lowered her gaze, not daring to look any longer.
Zhang Renmin walked up to her and said, "Comrade Qiao, if you're going to talk about the word 'fairness,' then I have a lot to say."
Qiao Feitian dared not utter another word.
When Xia Fanxing saw the company commander arrive, he was about to get up when he heard him say, "Comrade Xia, let me make this clear today. Whenever you want to rest, and for how long, I will wholeheartedly support you. Although you have only been in the company for less than three days, we have all seen the contributions you have made to the company."
In other words, the idea of not letting Xia Fanxing do any work was not only the idea of the agricultural company workers, but also the opinion of Zhang Renmin, the company commander.
Although Xia Fanxing couldn't become a sanitation worker for various reasons.
But within the agricultural unit, she was already regarded as a medic by everyone.
This is exactly the effect Xia Fanxing wanted to achieve.
Since Zhang Renmin has said so, Qiao Feitian has no reason to make a fuss anymore.
She could only swallow her bitter pill and continue digging the ground in a miserable manner.
Just before lunchtime, Xie Jingchen suddenly appeared.
At this moment, Qiao Feitian's hands were already scraped raw by the pickaxe, and the burning pain almost overwhelmed the pain in her hand. She had secretly cried several times.
When she looked up, she saw Xie Jingchen talking to Zhang Renmin. She was stunned at first, and then a huge sense of surprise and grievance filled her heart.
Although Xie Jingchen didn't even glance at her, she was absolutely certain that he had come to find her.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for Xie Jingchen, an active-duty regimental commander, to come to the agricultural company.
She said, "How could Xie Jingchen really let her do a day's work in the agricultural company?"
If you want to punish her, half a day is enough.
She spread out her palms, intending to show Xie Jingchen the scars covering her hands.
We must make Xie Jingchen feel sorry for him!
But that's not enough, after all, she suffered more than just physical pain today.
Qiao Feitian lowered her voice and said to the others with a mix of joy and relief, "Commander Xie is here. I don't have to work anymore. I'm leaving."
"Otherwise, why would you be employees of the agricultural company? Don't you use your brains? Commander Xie is my fiancé. Do you think he would just stand by and watch me suffer here?"
"Those who targeted or insulted me today should think carefully about what they did today. If you ever encounter any setbacks in the future, remember what you did today!"
The employees looked at each other, genuinely taken aback by Qiao Feitian's words.
They lowered their heads sheepishly, feeling uneasy about whether Xie Jingchen would retaliate.
Upon hearing these words, Xia Fanxing sneered and spoke—
Faced with Qiao Feitian's blatant intimidation and threats, Xia Fanxing said, "I think what Comrade Qiao said makes a lot of sense. Since Commander Xie is here now, why don't you stand up and speak louder so that Commander Xie can also hear what his fiancée is saying to the grassroots workers?"
Qiao Fei's face turned pale. "You...!"
"What's wrong, Comrade Qiao? Are you embarrassed?" Xia Fanxing put the yarn and glass bottle aside, stood up and said calmly, "Then let me help you convey your thoughts."
