Chapter 194 I'm Sick
Jiang Xiaoxiao finally managed to distribute all 500,000 kilograms of grain.
Her uncle had already transferred the money to her. Apart from the money for the wood for the farm, the rest was money for mountain products.
Jiang Xiaoxiao now has a total of 150,000 yuan in her pocket.
In an era when workers' wages were only 20 or 30 yuan a month, this was a huge sum of money.
Jiang Xiaoxiao deposited the money into a separate passbook, so I'm afraid the people at the credit union would notice it.
She was thinking about finding time to take a leave and go back to the city. It would be best if she could keep the money in the city as it would not be appropriate for her to keep it with her.
But it seems that it is not possible now, because it is the busy farming season in the production team.
Asking for leave at this time would be considered as laziness.
Besides, this year is the first time that their collective has implemented household contract responsibility system, and everyone is working hard for the harvest. It would be inappropriate for her to leave.
So, the first thing she did when she returned to the mountain was to start planting ginseng in the forest land.
The ginseng seedlings had been grown in their house and were growing well.
This is all thanks to Jiang Xiaoxiao’s space.
If the seedlings grown in the space do not grow well, Jiang Xiaoxiao should question whether the space still has recognition functions.
After everyone carefully moved the ginseng seedlings into the ground, they really grew well.
Of course, Jiang Xiaoxiao secretly sprinkled some of the spring water in her space onto the ground.
She thought that everything in this space must be useful. It was impossible for the spring water to appear for nothing. The spring water must have its use.
Although we still don’t know what the spring water is used for, it’s always a good idea to use it for watering the land.
The rest of the time they were busy working in the fields.
Jiang Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat off his face and sat under the shade of a tree at the edge of the field to drink some water.
She is also good at farming, after all, she did it for more than ten years in her previous life.
Even though he is not very skilled now, I am afraid he can do a better job than any other skilled farmer in the production team.
Jia Shu sat beside her, drank some water, and said nothing, with a look of listlessness and weakness on her face.
Jia Shu has spoken very little recently and looked like she was worried about something. Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't know what had happened, but if we follow the trajectory of her previous life, Jia Shu should have received a letter from home this time and then hurried back home.
But no one knows what exactly happened. After returning, Jia Shu never mentioned going home again.
"What's wrong? You look very tired. If you are tired, just take a rest. It's okay. Anyway, we are contracted to each household and we work together. No one will say anything about you. You can't hurt yourself."
Jiang Xiaoxiao started the conversation.
There is one bad thing about Jia Shu. She keeps everything on her mind to herself and never tells anyone else.
Jia Shu sighed and asked tentatively, "Xiao Xiao, if I want to ask for leave to go back now, can everyone do it? Can the captain approve it?"
She was worried. After all, they now had a household contract responsibility system, and they had so much land that was worked by so many people. If she left, there would be one less laborer. Besides, it was the busy farming season, and she didn't know if the team leader would allow it.
She can't leave without a letter of introduction.
But the letter from home was urgent, saying that her mother was so seriously ill, how could she not go back?
"It's hard to say at this time. If you go to the production team leader to ask for leave, he will suspect that you are taking the opportunity to be lazy. You also know that we need people to work in the fields now. Although it's easy for us to talk, the production team leader won't think so. Otherwise, you can send a telegram home and wait for a month.
You can ask for leave after the spring ploughing is over, and no one will say anything to you then."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was afraid that Jia Shu would suffer if she returned.
Jia Shu's parents were willing to squeeze everything out of their daughter to subsidize their son. It seemed that the sisters in Jia Shu's family had bad experiences in their previous lives.
Jia Shu's monthly food rations were squeezed to the extreme, and she would send some food back home from time to time.
"Okay, I'll send a telegram home. If I ask for leave at this time, the captain will probably think I'm really being cunning."
Jia Shu also knew this truth, otherwise she would not have hesitated for so long.
"What happened at home that makes you so anxious to go back?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to ask around. She wasn't just gossiping, she wanted to know how she could help Jia Shu. It seemed that a lot of unfortunate things had happened to Jia Shu in her previous life.
However, I only understood a little bit from her few words, and she knew nothing about the rest.
She felt guilty about her friend.
Jia Shu let out a long sigh. She had been holding these words in her heart for so long that she felt uncomfortable. However, she didn't want to tell anyone about the bad things happening in her family.
The person in front of me is Jiang Xiaoxiao. This girl is enthusiastic and cheerful. Is there anything that can't be talked about with Xiaoxiao?
Jiang Xiaoxiao really treats herself as a friend.
Friends should be honest.
Jiang Xiaoxiao had never ridiculed herself and was really warm to her like a real sister.
Jia Shu thought about it and finally spoke.
"My brother wrote to me and said my mother was ill. At first he asked me to send money back home. As you know, our farm only settles some work points at the end of the year, and we send them back home before the New Year. Now I have no money at all.
I heard that they wanted a thousand yuan and asked me to borrow it, but where can I borrow it from? These two days, they wrote to me and asked me to go back, saying that my mother was getting worse.
I was really worried. My mom is usually in good health. If she really gets this sick, it would be really bad.”
Jia Shu had tears in her eyes due to worry.
Jiang Xiaoxiao almost jumped up.
Jia Shu was definitely deceived by her family. If I remember correctly, Jia Shu had a big fight with her family in her previous life, and many years after they broke off relations, Jia Shu's parents were still alive.
I have also seen Jia Shu's parents taking a walk together.
Jia Shu is gone, but they are still alive and well.
I have also heard about this news when she passed away, which means that it is absolutely impossible for Jia Shu's mother to be terminally ill now.
Either it's an exaggeration or it's an excuse.
Jia Shu was so anxious that she was jumping up and down.
"You can't solve anything this way. Don't worry. You can call your mother's workshop and ask about her condition. Maybe your family is hiding her condition. If it's serious, you must go back. Otherwise, you will miss the last chance to see your loved ones. It will be a pity."
Jiang Xiaoxiao gave her some advice.
Jia Shu's eyes lit up and she became even more worried.
"But if I call my mother, the workshop director, will she misunderstand me..."
Jia Shu hesitated.
The main reason is that she is not sure what her mother’s condition is.
In fact, I feel a little uncertain in my heart. I have no idea what kind of people my parents are.
Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled her up and said, "No matter what the result is, you should call home to ask about the situation. It's always right. What will others misunderstand? Is it wrong for you to care about your parents?"
He pulled her away and said, "Director, Director Guo, Jia Shu wants to call you. Her mother is sick and she is very worried."
Jiang Xiaoxiao has already called Guo Dongjun.
Guo Dongjun smiled and said, "Go ahead! Just call my office."
Ever since Jiang Xiaoxiao helped the forestry farm and the farm solve such a big problem, Guo Dongjun has treated these educated youth better.
Jia Shuzhi had no choice but to follow.
