Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Frustration
"Where did you get it?" Yang Dai was a little suspicious. There were too many tickets in the bag. Yang Dai didn't think that the melon seeds she gave to Han Lin's family could be exchanged for so many things.
"Let's go eat first and talk after dinner." Han Lin changed the subject and took Yang Dai to the state-owned restaurant in the commune.
Yang Dai stared at Han Lin for a few more seconds and didn't ask any more questions.
The restaurant’s cooking skills must be much better than Han Lin’s, and she doesn’t want to miss this opportunity.
The two went to eat and happened to meet the accountant of Huangzhuang Brigade again.
When meeting face to face, no one can pretend not to see it.
"Uncle Huang, come and have dinner." Han Lin took the initiative to greet the accountant Huang Ping.
When Huang Ping saw the two, his expression was a little awkward for a moment, but he quickly hid it and smiled. "Young couple, are you coming to the commune for dinner? Take your time. I have other things to do in the brigade, so I'll be leaving first."
After Huang Ping left, Han Lin looked at the table where Huang Ping was sitting. There were two sets of bowls and chopsticks. Huang Ping was having dinner with someone, but the other person had left first.
Yang Dai: "Do you suspect him?"
Han Lin neither nodded nor shook his head, but Yang Dai understood that Han Lin must be thinking so in his heart.
But now there is no evidence, it can only be Han Lin's guess.
The food in the state-owned restaurant was a thousand times better than Han Lin’s cooking, and the two of them were very satisfied with the meal.
When leaving, Yang Dai took the initiative to buy a few steamed buns, and finally left the state-owned restaurant reluctantly.
"Let's go to the county town." Han Lin didn't want to go home so soon after finally coming out.
And there are so many tickets in my bag, I have to buy something so that I can go home happily.
Yang Dai did not refuse, she also wanted to go to the county town to take a look.
The economic level of the commune to which Huangzhuang Brigade belongs is the lowest in the entire county.
The county town not only has a supply and marketing cooperative, but also a newly built department store.
Yang Dai also wanted to see the new things of this era.
It took the two of them twenty minutes of cycling from the commune to the county town before they finally reached the department store.
The three-story building, painted white, sparkles brightly under the sunlight.
Yang Dai walked in. The decoration inside seemed just ordinary to her, but there were really a lot of people inside.
The first floor has the most people, while the second floor sells ready-made clothes, fabrics, rubber shoes and various cigarettes, so it has relatively fewer people.
The third floor has the least people, with all kinds of home appliances, watches, sewing machines, televisions... and this is also the floor with the least people.
Yang Dai looked around but ended up buying nothing.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to buy it, but she is not qualified.
No one knew what those messy tickets Han Lin brought back contained.
Moreover, if Yang Dai bought such a large item, she would inevitably be subject to various interrogations, and it would be difficult for her to find an excuse.
In the end, the two of them spent a few industrial coupons to buy a few insignificant things, and then used the grain coupons and meat coupons to buy flour and pork, and finally they were ready to go home.
"Is there any way to earn tickets?" On the way back, Yang Dai seemed to be worried.
It is obviously unwise to keep using the things in your own warehouse to exchange for various foods, drinks and tickets.
Even if she has a lot of things in her warehouse, she can just take them out and exchange them for what she needs right now.
But living off the fat of the land is not Yang Dai's style.
And according to the current situation, she must have a stable source of income so that she doesn't have to hide when buying things.
Now it seems that the position of primary school teacher will not fall into her hands, and after a tour of the commune and the county town, Yang Dai's thoughts have also changed.
Primary school teachers in Huangzhuang Brigade mainly earn public money from Huangzhuang Brigade. If you want to have coupons in your hands, this profession is not suitable for you.
Yang Dai was not planning to take up the commune job her mother mentioned.
That was a favor settled by Yang's father. If she hadn't gotten married yet, she would certainly be able to accept it.
But now she is a married woman, and if she really gets the job, there will definitely be another storm at home.
Yang Dai herself has grievances with her eldest sister-in-law and her second sister-in-law who has not yet married into the family.
If she really accepted this job again, Yang Dai herself would feel uneasy.
But Yang Dai had to go find a job on her own. She had no connections and a rural household registration, so no factory was willing to hire her.
Yang Dai had already found out everything when she was queuing just now.
When recruiting in the city, priority is given to those with urban household registration, and priority is given to the families of employees.
Yang Dai does not meet any of these two points.
As for the essay contest in the newspaper, Yang Dai felt that she had no hope at all.
After all, there is no payment or receipt for submitting articles to newspapers, and this essay solicitation was just an accident.
After thinking about it, Yang Dai still felt a headache.
There is a feeling of powerlessness that comes from having money but not being able to spend it.
But no one could answer Yang Dai's worries at this moment.
"Is there anyone in the ditch ahead?" Yang Dai opened her eyes and frowned.
She always felt that she vaguely heard the cry of a child.
Han Lin's ears were more sensitive and he had actually heard it a long time ago.
But Han Lin had been fighting in the palace for many years and had never had any sympathy.
Besides, the sun was about to set at this time, if he didn't ride his bike faster.
He and Yang Dai had to walk in the dark without any lighting tools, and the danger would gradually increase.
Han Lin didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but Yang Dai had already brought it up, so Han Lin wasn't going to object.
He knew what impression Yang Dai had of him. Now that the era had finally changed, Han Lin naturally wanted to change the impression.
The road from the county town back to Huangzhuang Brigade was just built a few years ago. It is not a cement road, but still a yellow mud road. However, it was built at that time for the purpose of smoothness of the road surface and to separate the road surface from the farmland on both sides.
The county dug two trenches on both sides of the road and farmland.
There is still a possibility that people will fall into the ditch.
The bicycle stopped and Yang Dai jumped off first. The first thing she saw was not a person, but a tractor overturned on the ground.
The faint sound of crying came from under the tractor.
This was the first time Yang Dai saw a tractor, but she didn't have the energy to pay attention to it. She just wanted to see people.
The tractor and the people on it rolled into the ditch, and the driver of the tractor had fainted on the side.
But there was someone under the tractor's bucket, and judging by the voice, it seemed to be a child.
Yang Dai was helpless in the face of such a heavy object as the tractor.
Fortunately, Han Lin had already jumped down at this time.
He is different from Yang Dai. During the time he traveled through time, he has been picking up his martial arts from the past.
Although the tractor was heavy at this time, Han Lin found a stick and still pried the entire tractor.
The crying became clearer, and Yang Dai didn't care about anything else.
He lay on the ground and tried hard to pull the person out from under the tractor.
Only then did Yang Dai see clearly that the faint crying sound actually came from a little baby who couldn't even walk.
The woman holding the baby had already fainted from the impact.
"Send him to the hospital." Yang Dai didn't have time to care about anything else. She just wanted Han Lin to go to the hospital.
Neither of them knew how to drive a tractor, so they had to use bicycles to take the person to the hospital.
After two trips back and forth, we finally got everyone settled in the hospital.
"Let's go find a doctor." Han Lin looked at the scratches on Yang Dai's face and felt very uncomfortable.
The tractor was heavy, and even Han Lin couldn't turn it over by himself.
After prying open the gap, Yang Dai pulled the mother and son out little by little.
Yang Dai was lying on the ground, her clothes were thin, and because of the strong friction, Yang Dai had scratches on her face and arms.
This is something that would never have happened to Yang Dai in the past.
This realization made Han Lin feel upset.
From the first day after waking up from the time travel, Han Lin believed that the reason Yang Dai came here was because of him.
Moreover, he and Yang Dai went from being an unmarried couple to husband and wife. In this era, he has the responsibility and obligation to protect Yang Dai.
However, after more than half a month of traveling through time, Han Lin's sense of frustration has been accumulating.
Seeing the injuries on Yang Dai's face, he felt even more depressed.
Yang Dai didn't feel any injury when she was saving people before. When she heard Han Lin's reminder, she suddenly realized that she had so many scratches on her body.
They happened to be in the hospital, so Yang Dai didn't force herself to endure it, and quickly found someone to help her clean the wound.
After Yang Dai's wound was treated, the tractor driver who was sent to the hospital on the other side also woke up.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." The driver had thick gauze wrapped on his head, but after seeing Yang Dai and Han Lin, he kept thanking them.
"Are that woman and the child okay?" The driver looked around and didn't see the two people, so his tone became anxious.
"The child was taken away by the nurse to be fed. The female comrade is still in surgery." Yang Dai originally thought that this was a family of three, but after listening to what the driver said, she realized that this was not the case.
The driver woke up, and the woman had finished the operation and returned to the general ward. The child was held tightly in the woman's arms. No accidents happened, and the child was sleeping soundly on the bed.
Yang Dai and Han Lin looked at each other and decided to leave.
It was already dark at this time, and walking in the dark was not a wise choice.
However, the two of them did not have a letter of introduction and could not stay in the county town at night, so going home was the best option.
The driver strongly asked the two people to leave their names and addresses, and Yang Dai did not refuse.
The road back was very dark, and Han Lin rode his bike very carefully. It was already very late when he got home.
Han Lin wanted to urge Yang Dai to go to bed early. After all, she had been busy all day and was still injured.
But Yang Dai didn't feel sleepy at all.
Han Lin has not yet given an answer to her doubts.
If she didn't find out where those tickets came from today, Yang Dai felt that she would not be able to sleep well at night.
"The black market in the commune was in trouble. I went there at the right time and picked up these things." Han Lin said as he handed the golden melon seeds back to Yang Dai.
"The black market was split into two, and now both black markets are suffering at the same time. The black market leader wanted to escape, so I picked up this thing." Han Lin said as he took out the pile of colorful tickets.
In the light of two candles, neither of them spoke.
