098: Are you mentally ill?
Yu Jiahui was indeed not thoughtful enough this time.
He just wanted to ask Lao Pu for help and ask Lao Pu to help him go to the Ninth Company to inquire about the news.
However, he forgot that it would not be very reasonable for him to tell Lao Pu that he had two sons living outside.
First of all, if the son is away, there is no reason for the parents not to recognize him. In this era, sons are the most important. Even in the Northeast at this time, this is the old concept.
Secondly, if Yu Jiahui knew that he had two sons in the Ninth Company, it would prove that he had not lost his memory, and this would contradict their original action plan. He was setting a trap for himself, which might cause trouble in the future.
Therefore, the best way at the moment is to let Yu Xiaoye go find Lao Pu.
Yu Xiaoye told her parents her idea. Her parents nodded in agreement and decided to let Yu Xiaoye go over and talk.
But how to tell Lao Pu is another difficult point.
Should she confess directly to Lao Pu that she has two brothers, or find another excuse?
In the end, the family decided that it was better to tell the truth.
If you tell too many lies, you will be exposed sooner or later, so it is better to tell the truth when you can.
The family decided to ask Lao Pu for help and went to bed.
The next day, Xu Ying went to work as usual.
Before going to work, Xu Ying asked her daughter to take good care of the chickens at home and feed them carefully.
The chicks are still small and can only be kept in the chicken coop for the time being. They cannot be let out yet. For the time being, feed them with bran mixed with a little water. When they grow up, let them out to find food on their own.
Yu Xiaoye agreed.
Xu Ying also told the father and son to finish the housework quickly and to till the soil in the yard if they had time. She would ask other older sisters in her class for some vegetable seeds in the next two days and plant some vegetables in the yard as well.
Their yard is big. In addition to the chicken coop and kitchen, there is also a large area where they can grow a lot of vegetables.
In the company, we grow our own vegetables. There is no such thing as buying vegetables. Only people in the city buy vegetables.
After Xu Ying gave her instructions, she went to work accompanied by her daughter.
As soon as they arrived at the open space where the farmers and workers gathered, everyone saw Yu Xiaoye as if they had seen a mascot. They laughed at her and greeted her as if they were very familiar with her.
Yu Xiaoye didn't know who was who, so he could only smile awkwardly.
When he reached the crowded area, Yu Xiaoye tiptoed and looked into the crowd, trying to find Lao Pu's shadow.
But he didn't see Lao Pu, so he guessed that he was still in the barn harnessing the cart, so he walked towards the barn.
When we got there, we saw Lao Pu leading a horse and harnessing a carriage.
Yu Xiaoye walked over, took the initiative to hold her hand, and said sweetly:
"Uncle Pu, Uncle Pu, let me help you!"
Lao Pu was originally a nearly dull person who didn't care much about anything, but when he saw Yu Xiaoye, a hint of fondness flashed in his eyes. Who could blame this little girl for being so likable?
But Yu Xiaoye had no idea how to harness the carriage and was in a panic and unable to help.
"Daughter, don't move. Be careful with your hands. I can do it alone!"
I saw Lao Pu quickly harnessed the carriage and asked:
"What's the matter, please tell me?"
Yu Xiaoye laughed:
"I still can't hide it from Uncle Pu. Can Uncle Pu do me a favor?"
"Want a ride?"
Those who ask the carriage owner for help either want to go out in a carriage or ask the carriage owner to go out to buy or sell things. There are only two reasons.
So when Yu Xiaoye said he wanted to ask Lao Pu for help, Lao Pu subconsciously thought that Yu Xiaoye wanted to ride in his carriage.
Yu Xiaoye shook his head:
"No, although I do want to ride in Uncle Pu's carriage, today's event is not about riding in a carriage."
"Oh?" Lao Pu suddenly became interested. What could the little girl want from him?
"Uncle Pu, you still have to send everyone off to work, so I won't keep you any longer. When you come back from the fields, I'll talk to you about this, okay?"
"At noon, around 11 o'clock, I'll come back from the fields and go to the cafeteria to get food. You can find me there then."
"become!"
Lao Pu nodded, sat on the front shaft of the cart, cracked the whip, shouted "Gee", and the horse raised its four hooves and pulled the cart out of the barn.
Yu Xiaoye also followed him out of the barn.
Male and female farm workers boarded the carriages according to their shifts and platoons and set off to work in the fields.
Yu Xiaoye watched Xu Ying leave, then went to the office, ready to ask Jia Song for help to borrow a few more tools. Their family was going to repair the wall today and repaint the interior and exterior walls of the cottage with yellow mud.
When he arrived at the office, Jia Song was dressed neatly and was stuffing a document into a military green shoulder bag.
Jia Song turned his head and saw that it was Yu Xiaoye. He immediately bared his teeth and smiled brightly.
The May Day labor performance was very successful, and Jia Song received unanimous praise from the company leaders, especially Captain Yang, who praised him a lot, so Jia Song was in a particularly good mood.
"Brother Jia, are you going out?"
"Yes, I'm going to the site office to hand in some materials and report on our May Day Labor Conference. What do you want to do?"
"Brother Jia, can you lend me a shovel, a bucket, or a tile trowel?"
"Yu Xiaoye, I'm telling you, if you need anything, just go to the warehouse and ask Lao Wu for it. If he dares not give it to you, I'll complain to Captain Yang and have him punished!"
"——" Yu Xiaoye was startled by Jia Song's sudden loud voice, and stood there blankly blinking his big eyes.
Jia Song mistakenly thought that Yu Xiaoye was afraid of Lao Wu:
"Come on, I'll take you there! I'll support you!"
Without saying anything, Jia Song grabbed Yu Xiaoye's arm and dragged her out, all the way to the warehouse. Lao Wu was sitting at the door of the warehouse, basking in the sun while repairing a shovel.
The wooden handle of the shovel was broken, so Lao Wu cut a new wooden handle and was putting it into the shovel.
Jia Song pulled Yu Xiaoye and yelled at Lao Wu from a distance:
"Old Wu, I'm telling you, from now on, no matter what the Yu family asks you to borrow, you must give it to them. Do you understand? If you deliberately find excuses to make things difficult for them, Captain Yang will come after you!"
Lao Wu slowly raised his head and looked at Jia Song with an expression that said, "Are you fucking mentally ill?"
"Mr. Jia, what bullshit are you talking about? When did I ever say that I wouldn't lend things to their family? Did I ever say that?"
"——" Jia Song was a little frustrated, "It's best if you don't have it, and there won't be any in the future!"
As he spoke, Jia Song released Yu Xiaoye's arm and said to her:
"Go, find what you need yourself!"
"oh oh."
Yu Xiaoye agreed, ran to the door of the warehouse in small steps, and said to Lao Wu:
"Uncle Wu, I'd like to borrow your bucket, shovel, and tile trowel. I'll return them when I'm done."
"Go in and get it yourself." Lao Wu didn't even look at Yu Xiaoye.
Yu Xiaoye entered the warehouse.
The warehouse has an inner and outer room. The door of the inner room is locked. It is estimated that it contains things like grain, seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers. The outer room is filled with various tools and farm implements, which are hung on the wall, placed against the wall, and placed on the ground, everywhere.
