Jiang Shiyue turned around and waved to the ticket seller, "Sorry! I won't go to the city for now."
"Then come over here and I'll refund you the ticket money."
Jiang Shiyue carried Yangyang to the bus and the conductor handed her two cents.
"Sorry for wasting everyone's time."
The conductor shook his head. "As long as the child is fine, that's fine. Let's go then."
Jiang Shiyue took Yangyang to the commune clinic and asked the doctor to examine him carefully.
In addition to the scrapes on the knees, there were also blisters on the feet.
"You parents are so careless. You didn't even notice that your child's shoes are a little small, and you let your child walk such a long way in shoes that don't fit!" The doctor scolded Jiang Shiyue while applying medicine to Yangyang.
Jiang Shiyue was stunned and looked down at Yangyang's feet. Both sides of his feet were indeed rubbed red.
The original owner was not a competent mother and had no experience in raising children. She really didn't notice it, and she felt even more guilty.
After coming out of the clinic, Jiang Shiyue’s first thing was to take Yangyang to the commune’s supply and marketing cooperative to buy shoes.
She picked out a pair of cloth shoes and a pair of sneakers for Yangyang.
Noticing that Yangyang's eyes lingered on the sneakers for a few more seconds, Jiang Shiyue explained, "Cloth shoes are good for your feet. You can wear sneakers after your feet are healed."
After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Jiang Shiyue found a public phone and called Director Chen to tell him that something unexpected had happened and she would go to the factory tomorrow.
Director Chen was afraid that Jiang Shiyue would go back on his word, so he repeatedly asked Jiang Shiyue to go, saying that if it really didn't work, their factory could send a car to pick her up.
Jiang Shiyue thought that their factory was so poor that they probably wouldn't be able to drive a car even if they had one, so she politely declined Director Chen's kindness and just said that she might take her children with her.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shiyue carried Yangyang on her back and walked back to the compound.
In the commune of 1978, there were no taxis or taxi-like industries.
After all this trouble, it was already past ten o'clock when the mother and daughter returned to the compound.
The guard was obviously surprised to see Jiang Shiyue carrying Yangyang back, and he called the battalion headquarters in front of Jiang Shiyue.
"Report to Chen Ying, Yangyang is back, and he came back with his sister-in-law."
After hanging up the phone, the guard said to Jiang Shiyue, "Sister-in-law, our company commander asked you to go to the battalion headquarters to find him."
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
Afraid that Chen Shanhe would worry, Jiang Shiyue still carried Yangyang to the camp headquarters.
Chen Shanhe's office was on the second floor. As Jiang Shiyue just walked up the stairs, she heard a loud shout from the second floor.
"Chen Shanhe, do you know what you are talking about? Military orders are as strong as a mountain, so how can you bargain with them?!"
