Chapter 82: Sister
It was time for a break, so Song Ruize carried his bag back to the shed.
Jiang Qibin came over and asked worriedly, "What did Baotou want to do with you? Did he make things difficult for you again?"
Song Ruize handed him the bag.
Jiang Qibin took it, opened it and asked, "What is this?"
When he opened it, the mouth-watering aroma turned him into a wolf. He opened the oil paper package with a howl, pinched a piece of braised meat and handed it to Song Ruize: "It smells so good, this is meat, who gave it to you?"
Song Ruize said calmly: "Your creditor."
"Oh my..." Jiang Qibin's eyes widened, "Your sister came to see you?"
Song Ruize looked at his body, picked up the robe beside the bed and put it on.
When he lowered his head to fasten his belt, Jiang Qibin stuffed something into his mouth. He was caught off guard and was stuffed right in the mouth.
"It's so delicious." Jiang Qibin looked like he was about to cry, "I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life."
Song Ruize chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
Jiang Qibin was not exaggerating, it was indeed delicious.
Jiang Qibin opened the bamboo bucket again and was about to reach in when he was stopped by Song Ruize.
“This is for dinner.”
"Good with rice?" Jiang Qibin didn't understand what he meant.
"Bibimbap." Song Ruize said calmly, "She made the sauce with mushrooms, minced meat, pickled vegetables and other seasonings."
"It sounds delicious." Jiang Qibin took inventory and said, "Brother Ze, you have seven full jars. Can I..."
"Take it if you like."
"I'll just take one." Jiang Qibin said, "I think we can give one of the remaining ones to Baotou, and to Brother Xiang who is beside Baotou. I know you don't like dealing with those people, but sometimes proper interpersonal communication can make life much more comfortable."
"She gave it to the one at the dam head."
"Your sister really cares about you." Jiang Qibin said enviously, "She must be worried about you and came here specially to help you."
Song Ruize didn't say anything.
"Let's go to work."
"Wait a minute..." Jiang Qibin held Song Ruize, "Your sister gave it to her. If you take the initiative to give another one, Baotou will definitely not make things difficult for you. Brother Ze, Baotou manages so many people. If you don't give him a way out, he will lose face."
"Brother Ze, we don't know how long we have to stay here. It's not a smart thing to offend the dam head. The worse your life is, the happier those who envy you will be. Think about Song Tiegen. Wasn't he the happiest when the dam head gave you trouble recently?"
Song Ruize took three cans and said to Jiang Qibin, "Put away the others."
"Okay, Brother Ze, don't worry, I will definitely accept our sister's kindness."
Song Ruize came to the tent of Baotou again and said, "Yang Baotou, I am Song Ruize."
"Come in."
Yang Baotou had just met Song Ruize, but he didn't expect him to come again.
He had been tormenting him so much recently, but he hadn't shown any weakness. Could it be that he had caused some trouble again that he needed to deal with?
He had just accepted a gift from his sister, and if he dared to make trouble again, he would smash the gift on his head.
Song Ruize walked in, put a bottle of sauce on Yang Baotou's table, and said, "I was wrong before. I shouldn't have embarrassed Baotou in front of him."
Yang Baotou raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Ruize: "You, a bad-tempered and stubborn boy, actually took the initiative to show weakness. It seems that you have listened to what your sister said. Boy, you are indeed very capable. I have heard about you. But you have to know that you are a group. If you don't learn to get along with them, any one of them can trip you up behind your back, and a mouthful of spit from each of them can make you shed a layer of skin."
Song Ruize lowered his eyes: "Batou is right."
"Being brave alone is not bravery, it's courting death. Who doesn't know how to manipulate people's hearts when accomplishing great things?" Yang Baotou waved his hand, "Go down! I'll tell them that your punishment is cancelled, and you can just do the same work as everyone else in the future."
When Song Ruize turned around and came out, he met Brother Xiang, Yang Baotou's number one younger brother, and handed another bottle of meat sauce to Brother Xiang: "The day before yesterday, I was punished with 100 loads, but they didn't fill up the last 10 loads. I know it was Brother Xiang's signal that they let me go. Thank you."
Brother Xiang took it and patted him on the shoulder: "Boy, you are very smart. As long as you don't get stuck in a rut, you will have a bright future."
Song Ruize gave the last can to a tall and strong man. The strong man was burly, strong, and had a face full of flesh. He looked like a tough guy.
During this period, Song Ruize was not willing to associate with others because of his reputation as the "coffin man". This strong man looked too fierce and looked like he was not easy to mess with, so everyone stayed away from him.
The strong man Chen Yong took the meat sauce, opened it and smelled it, his eyes full of light: "It smells so good, what is this?"
Song Ruize said calmly: "Mushroom minced meat sauce."
"Give it to me?"
"Um."
"Who do you want me to deal with?" Chen Yong always collected things when someone asked him for something, so when he encountered such a situation, his first reaction was to beat someone up again.
"No need." Song Ruize said calmly, "Let's make friends."
Chen Yong held the mushroom meat sauce and hesitated again and again: "Okay, you have no friends, and I have no friends, so we will be friends from now on."
Jiang Qibin was waiting for Song Ruize at his workplace. Seeing that he had not come back for a long time, he kept looking up at a place not far away.
Snap! A whip came swinging over.
Jiang Qibin was whipped on the arm and cried out in pain: "Brother Zhang, my leg is still injured. If you hurt my hand again, there will be no one in our family to work."
"You think it's so easy to make money in the court, so if you want to work, do it well. If you want to fish in troubled waters, no way!"
Song Ruize is back.
He just came back and announced new news to his brother: "Song Ruize has been performing well recently, and the dam owner has decided to cancel his punishment. From now on, Song Ruize will just do the same work as everyone else. By the way, Jiang Qibin, your leg is injured, and the dam owner is taking extra care of you, letting you sit over there and saw wood. Song Ruize should go with you!"
Everyone looked at Song Ruize in surprise.
What just happened?
"What are you complaining about?" Brother Xiang saw them gathered together and talked a lot, and said unhappily, "If you have the time to gossip about other people, you might as well do your work properly."
Song Tiegen was most dissatisfied with this result. But he was not stupid. Song Ruize retorted that he would not go against the dam in front of others after being punished for so long.
The happiest person was Jiang Qibin.
Jiang Qibin originally came to work with an injury, but now that he is well, thanks to Song Ruize, he was directly transferred to the most relaxed area.
"Brother Ze, I knew that following you would be the best path forward. When I first met you, a sentence came to my mind: This person is definitely not an ordinary person."
Song Ruize: “…”
This guy is really noisy.
