Although my arm has recovered about 80%, I still haven't dared to exert too much force.
However, making cornmeal porridge is not a big problem.
After delivering the porridge, Jiang Tiecheng turned and took his leave.
After all, the brother and sister were bound to say something to each other.
What am I to you here?
He and Chen Ruixue are friends, but they have no other relationship, and this occasion is inappropriate.
He was busy all day and exhausted; he was truly worn out.
Do you think having a lot of strength means you won't get tired?
Strength and physical labor are the same; the physical exertion is unrelated to strength.
I went back, washed my feet and face briefly, and then lay down on the kang (heated brick bed) and fell asleep.
Chen Ruijun saw that Jiang Tiecheng was an honest man, and that he was a good person.
They would make the cornmeal porridge, bring it over, put it down, and then leave.
They didn't linger, nor did they try to get close to me.
He is someone who knows when to advance and when to retreat.
Thinking back to how Jiang Tiecheng thought his sister was far from home and beautiful, he guessed she had ulterior motives.
Now that I've thought about it, I realize I was being a bit petty.
It seems I should give Jiang Tiecheng some benefits before I come next time, since he is honest and kind and willing to take care of his younger sister.
We can't let people down.
Jiang Tiecheng woke up before dawn, but he still woke up automatically at that time.
It was almost time to get ready to go to the village entrance and pack my lunchbox when I realized I'd left it with Chen Ruixue yesterday and forgotten to take it back.
It's so early, Chen Ruixue must not be awake yet. It's definitely not appropriate for me to go to a girl's den.
Never mind, I rummaged through the lattice again and took out two lunch boxes.
Comrade Wu Dazhuang is a good man; those five large lunchboxes he gave him back then have really come in handy.
He had already figured it out: if he could make steamed buns, he could make porridge.
Bring back some porridge, steamed buns, and pickled vegetables, and that will be enough for Chen Ruixue's meals for the day. Otherwise, she can bring back more vegetables for lunch.
When they arrived at the village entrance today with two lunchboxes, they found that it wasn't a truck that came to pick them up, but rather a horse-drawn carriage from their village.
When they saw the production team leader, everyone greeted him with smiles.
Huang Youqing noticed Jiang Tiecheng's arm in a sling and asked him about it with concern.
I only found out that Jiang Tiecheng had fractured his leg on the very first day.
Although he wanted to suggest that Jiang Tiecheng take a rest, Jiang himself didn't want to rest, so as an outsider, he had nothing to say.
Jiang Tiecheng sat behind Huang Youqing in the carriage. Compared to yesterday's truck, the quality of this carriage was far inferior.
During their casual conversation, they learned that the team's truck had broken down that day, so they couldn't come to pick them up. For the next few days, Huang Youqing would be using the village's horse-drawn carts to transport them.
When we arrived at the construction site, breakfast was quite simple.
White rice porridge and flatbread, but don't imagine it as scallion pancakes, oil is so expensive these days.
In the dead of winter, where can you find scallions to eat? So, people mostly made dry pancakes, which are called naan.
There's also homemade sauerkraut.
It's pretty good, quite refreshing.
Jiang Tiecheng ate a large lunchbox of plain porridge.
He then ate three more naan breads in one go.
After dinner, I went back to the construction site with my comrades. It was clear that after what happened yesterday...
The entire sixth group has joined forces with Jiang Tiecheng, and everyone is united in their determination.
Unlike yesterday, everyone was chatting and laughing, accompanied by Jiang Tiecheng's rhythmic whistling.
The work progress is half again as fast as yesterday.
They have already delivered 12 pipes this morning.
They work from afternoon until dinner, which basically concludes their work for the day.
Everyone was very happy. At first, they all thought that Jiang Tiecheng was good for nothing except brute strength.
Unexpectedly, although Jiang Tiecheng was strong, he was also very meticulous.
Especially blowing the whistle. Don't think blowing the whistle is simple. Jiang Tiecheng started singing.
They were singing popular songs that would become popular later.
Forget Phoenix Legend and Chopstick Brothers, you'd be surprised how enthusiastically the square dancing aunties will be doing it in the future.
It's precisely because of its strong rhythm that it works no matter where you put it.
Sure enough, as soon as he started singing, their team became much more energetic.
Even the two adjacent teams were 20% faster because of their singing.
After this incident, everyone really became one of the group, and Jiang Tiecheng completely integrated with the sixth group.
Jiang Tiecheng's arm was almost fully recovered, but he kept it in a sling to avoid giving himself away.
After all, he had a fracture. If you told him it would heal in a day, nobody would believe you. People would think he was an alien.
I went to the cafeteria again at noon.
Wang Ergou and Li Fan are both very proactive, and now they have become Jiang Tiecheng's right-hand men.
As soon as Jiang Tiecheng entered the canteen, he saw Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang also saw Jiang Tiecheng and immediately grabbed him warmly.
"Xiao Jiang, I've been waiting for you. It's so hard to finally see you. I should have come to thank you yesterday."
"This is why we had to take the child to the medical team for another check-up, which took up a lot of time."
"Xiao Jiang, I want to thank you again from the bottom of my heart. My wife has prepared a feast for you tonight and is waiting for you to come to our home as our guest."
You have to grant me this request no matter what. Otherwise, my wife won't let me into the house.
Jiang Tiecheng said with a smile.
"Old Zhang, don't do this."
Who wouldn't lend a hand if they saw a child in danger?
I already said it was just something I did on the spur of the moment.
Old Zhang's eyes reddened.
"Xiao Jiang, you're a good person. Older brothers are all narrow-minded."
