056: Can't tell whether it's a man or a woman
Jia Songhui reported:
"That family refused to go anywhere else and insisted on moving into that haunted house that had been empty for years. Lao Wu tried to persuade them to move out, but it was no use."
Captain Yang rolled his eyes, picked up the enamel pot and drank a sip of water. He held the water in his mouth without swallowing it, and let it circulate left and right in his mouth twice. His cheeks moved back and forth, and then he tilted his head back, and the water gurgled in his throat a few times. Then, with a "puff", the water sprayed onto the ground like a high-pressure spray gun, almost creating a puddle on the mud ground.
Captain Yang rinsed his mouth, wiped the water droplets from his beard, and then drank a few sips of water.
After drinking, he said casually:
"Let him live here, as long as he doesn't mind. Even if he builds a bird's nest on a tree and sleeps there every day, I don't care. I only care whether he works or not, not where he sleeps at night!"
Jia Song raised his eyebrows:
"--Oh well."
Captain Yang is too lazy to take care of it, so it is definitely not his turn to take care of it.
At this time, there was a commotion outside.
Several educated youths rushed in through the door, grinning and asking:
"Jia Song, I heard that the company has new recruits today and they moved directly into the yard at the back. Is that true?"
"Why don't you just go and take a look at the back yourself—"
"Who is so bold? Why does he have to live in a place like that when there are so many places to live?"
"By the way, I heard you brought a little girl with you, right? How old is the little girl? Aren't you afraid?"
Several educated youth did not come in, but lay at the door and talked with interest.
Captain Yang stretched his neck and cursed:
"Damn it, just go do what you need to do, like a bunch of nagging women. You have done a day's work and still have the leisure to care about other things. It seems that you are not tired enough. You, you, you, and you, finish work an hour later tomorrow and come back after dark!".i.
"No, no, no—"
Several educated youth knew Captain Yang's bad temper and were afraid that they would be punished to work an extra hour, so they all left the room.
At this time, someone outside shouted:
"Here they come, here they come, the family of three is here."
Usually at this time, after finishing work, the educated youth would run back to the dormitory to get their lunch boxes and rush to the cafeteria to get food, for fear that they would be too late and the food would be gone if others got it.
But when I came back today, I heard that a family had just been assigned to the company and actually moved into the small courtyard at the back that had been abandoned for several years. Everyone became curious about this family.
I wasn't in a hurry to go back to the dormitory to get my lunch box. I just wanted to see what kind of family had the courage to do that.
————
The three members of the Yu family came to the office in front of many people.
Dozens or even hundreds of people gathered in the open space outside the office door, looking at them with interest and whispering to each other.
Yu Jiahui smiled and nodded at the onlookers as he walked, and whispered to his daughter:
"Xiao Ye, look, the people here are so warm and welcoming!
Yu Xiaoye glanced at his self-conceited father:
"Dad, is there a possibility that they are not welcoming us, but are simply curious about what kind of ambition and courage we have?"
Yu Jiahui: "-------I'll just take it as their welcome."
A family of three came to the office door.
Captain Yang walked out from inside.
Yu Jiahui shook Captain Yang's hand familiarly:
"Hello, hello, you must be Captain Yang, I'm Yu Jiahui, and I'll be the farm worker of the Eighth Company. Please take care of me."
Captain Yang frowned: He doesn't like people who speak in such flowery language!
He is a rough man who likes to be straightforward and doesn't like roundabout ways.
But since you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you, Captain Yang could only endure it. He glanced at Yu Jiahui's hanging arm:
"What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
"I suffered a minor injury."
Captain Yang was suddenly unhappy:
"How do you arrange a patient number for us?"
Yu Xiaoye said quickly:
"Captain Yang, my father can't work right now, so I'll be taking his place temporarily. Don't worry, it won't delay production!"
Captain Yang glanced at the skinny little girl:
"You? How old are you?"
"Captain, I'm eighteen!"
When they heard she was eighteen, everyone around her laughed.
This little bean sprout is eighteen years old?
He looks about thirteen or fourteen years old, right?
Jia Song also laughed and helped explain:
"He's definitely eighteen. That's what the letter of introduction says anyway. I guess he's just malnourished and looks a bit skinny."
But Captain Yang is not someone who can be easily fooled:
"I can't let such a weakling work in my fields."
Yu Xiaoye glared: Who are you looking down on? Who is the one who is so annoying?!
Xu Ying looked at this situation, raised his eyelids, and said coldly:
"If neither of them can go, then I should go?"
Captain Yang glanced at Xu Ying and saw that although Xu Ying was also skinny, he looked quite strong, at least much stronger than Xiao Douya. He nodded with satisfaction:
"Well, this is not bad. Then you can take over your man's job for the time being."
After that, Captain Yang's loud voice started shouting like a megaphone:
"Zhu Dali! Zhu Dali! Zhu Dali!!"
The three members of the Yu family thought it was a man who was calling out, but a woman responded with a hoarse voice:
"What are you shouting about? You're going to die!"
"Come here!"
A man came in from behind the crowd, holding a lunch box in one hand and four cornmeal cakes in the other.
Just looking at their appearance, I couldn't tell whether they were men or women.
He wore a blue cotton-padded jacket and blue cloth trousers, which were worn by both men and women, and a leather hat that could be worn by both men and women.
Just looking at the clothes, it is impossible to tell whether they are men or women.
Looking at that face again, well, I can't tell whether it's a man or a woman.
But the voice sounded like a woman's.
The three members of the Yu family were stunned. Is this a boy or a girl?
Zhu Dali yelled in a woman's voice:
"Tell me what's going on, don't delay my meal. I'm so hungry I don't even have the energy to talk!"
Captain Yang was not angry at Zhu Dali's yelling, and pointed at Xu Ying:
"I'll leave this person to you. Temporarily place him in your female farm worker platoon. You can take him to work."
Zhu Dali glanced at Xu Ying:
"Wait here after dinner tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he left.
Captain Yang watched Zhu Dali walk away with a swagger and cursed:
"What a bad character!"
There was actually a hint of doting in his tone.
Everyone saw Captain Yang's infatuated look, and someone joked:
"Captain, don't just look, confess your feelings!"
The crowd cheered:
"Yes, confess, confess!"
Captain Yang then withdrew his gaze, glanced at the crowd, and cursed in a low voice:
"Fuck you—hurry up and go eat!"
Everyone dispersed again and ran back to get their lunch boxes.
When Yu Jiahui heard about the meal issue, he stepped forward and asked:
"Captain Yang, I heard you have the meal tickets for the cafeteria. Could you please advance some of them to us? We as a family still need to eat."
