"A new group of educated youth arrived at the Huahe Brigade, three of whom were from Yunnan. They loved eating mushrooms. They heard there were mushrooms in the nearby mountains, so they went there whenever they had time. They also taught the people in the Huahe Brigade to identify mushrooms. At first, it was fine, but in the past few days, a large number of them started vomiting and having diarrhea, and they were also talking nonsense. The Huahe Brigade reported the situation to the city, and the city hospital sent doctors directly to the Huahe Brigade the day before yesterday. After diagnosis and treatment, it was found that these people were collectively poisoned, and they all ate the poison in the mushrooms."
"Dad, could it be that those three educated youths are enemy spies? They want to wipe out the Huahe Brigade." The entire village was taken down by three people. Who would believe that they were not enemy spies?
"No, it's just that people in Yunnan really like to eat mushrooms. The people in the Huahe Brigade were poisoned because the mushrooms were not cooked enough. The doctor said that kind of mushrooms need to be boiled for at least half an hour to eliminate the toxins."
Jiang Shushu: "..." It's still like this, no wonder it caused poisoning. Most people only cook it for five or six minutes, ten minutes at most.
"Were those three educated youth poisoned?"
"The three of them were also poisoned. They poisoned a third of the villagers collectively. Although none of them are in danger of death, the medical expenses are still expensive. In addition, it is the busy farming season, which has caused the Huahe Brigade to be short of manpower. The captain of the Huahe Brigade was furious. Your cousin came back and said that the captain's hair turned a lot white overnight. That's why they lent some people to the Huahe Brigade for a while. They will let them come back after the people in the Huahe Brigade have recovered."
Jiang Shushu: "I'm more than just furious. If it were me, I'd probably want to kill those three educated youth. For someone seriously poisoned, paying off the medical bills would probably cost them at least half their family's fortune, if not their entire fortune. This unsure mushroom dared to invite everyone to eat it? Isn't that completely foolish?"
"Dad, have all the people from the Youth League gone to the Huahe Brigade?" I wonder if Yang Xiaobei went? If not, then I can't keep an eye on Li Chunyan.
"Except He Aiguo and Zhang Meihua, everyone else went."
Someone is watching Li Chunyan.
…
After breakfast, Jiang Shushu went to work and Jiang He went shopping.
Jiang Shushu had just got off work and saw Yan Beiyang not far from the door.
"Are you waiting for me?"
"Yes, I just came back from a business trip this afternoon. As soon as I came back, I heard that someone blocked you late at night a few days ago, so I came to see if you were hurt?" Yan Beiyang looked a little nervous.
"I'm fine, thank you. It's so thoughtful of you to bother you with the trip."
"I'm relieved that you're okay. I just have to go back to my uncle's house. Let's go together!"
Jiang Shushu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then let's go together."
"Did your business trip to Shanghai go smoothly?"
"It went smoothly. I bought all the spare parts for the machine."
…
The two chatted casually and soon found the intersection.
"Yan Beiyang, I'll go back first. Goodbye." Yan Beiyang felt weird today, making himself uncomfortable. The more they talked, the more awkward it became.
"Xiao Jiang, wait a minute, this is a gift I brought you from Shanghai. Do you like it?"
"You brought a gift? Haha, I appreciate your kindness, but this is too valuable. You can take it back to your family." He was just an ordinary friend, and I felt embarrassed to accept something he brought back from far away.
"Everyone in my family has some, but I brought this especially for you."
Jiang Shushu: “…” Just because of what you said, I dare not accept it. If it causes any misunderstanding, it will be embarrassing. Ordinary friends should behave like ordinary friends.
Seeing that Jiang Shushu refused to accept it, Yan Beiyang did not force him, but asked, "Xiao Jiang, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Of course." Just take the gift back.
"We've known each other for almost two months. What do you think of me?"
Jiang Shushu: "..." This guy is not going to confess to me! Although we are still quite familiar with each other, it has not reached that stage yet! Besides, I don't have any such thoughts about him. It's over, what should I do now? Reject directly or refuse politely.
Jiang Shushu answered truthfully, "You are very good! You have good character, positive values, a sense of humor, and a generous demeanor."
"I didn't expect you to think so highly of me. I'm very happy."
Jiang Shushu: "..." We are just ordinary friends now. If your character and values are not good, we can't be friends!
"I also think you have good character and positive values. I feel like there's a vibrant and upward-thinking sun in you, which makes me feel very comfortable..." Yan Beiyang immediately stood up straight and said very solemnly: "Comrade Jiang Shushu, although it's presumptuous, I still want to ask, can I date you with the intention of getting married?"
Jiang Shushu: “…” He actually confessed.
"Yan Beiyang, this is quite sudden. Did I do something inappropriate? I hope you misunderstood me."
"No, I was very grateful to you at first, but as we got along, I felt you were a very nice person. I admired and liked you more and more. When I came back and heard that you were almost beaten up, I was so worried, afraid that you would get hurt. At that moment, I knew that I didn't just like you, but loved you. I originally planned to take it slow and spend six months with you so that you could get to know me more comprehensively, but when I knew you were in danger, I changed my mind. I didn't want you to get hurt, and I wanted to be by your side and protect you as soon as possible."
"You know a little about my family situation. Let me give you a brief introduction. Except for me, everyone in my family works in the steel plant. My mother gave birth to three brothers and us, and my two older brothers are already married. My father is a maintenance master, and my mother gave the job to my second sister-in-law, who is now at home. My eldest brother learned maintenance from my father and is now also a maintenance master. My second brother is a small clerk in the Propaganda Department, and my eldest and second sisters-in-law are female workers in the workshop. My eldest brother's family has a son and a daughter, and my second brother's family has a son. I am a small clerk in the purchasing department of the food factory. My monthly salary is 38, I don't have any bad habits, I don't smoke, and I drink a little wine occasionally..." Yan Beiyang said everything he could about his advantages, just hoping to gain one or two more points in Jiang Shushu's heart.
"Yan Beiyang, this happened so suddenly. I'm really confused. I can't answer you right now. I'll go back and think about it and give you an answer in a few days."
Yan Beiyang placed the bag containing the gift in front of Jiang Shushu. "Okay, I'll wait for your answer. Take this gift. I spent a long time choosing it, and it's a token of my appreciation. No matter what your answer is, please accept it."
"Thank you." Now that things have come to this, there's no point in refusing. If it doesn't work out, I'll just give it back to him.
