Chapter 221 Health Center
It was cool during the rainy day, and Lin Yiyi had a good night’s sleep. The rain stopped after breakfast.
The rain made the road muddy, and when Lin Yiyi returned home, she began to study the schedule.
But I haven't read the book for long.
The educated youth Wang Chunya and Li Cui came to the door.
The gate of the yard was opened by Donkey Egg, who made them scrape the mud off the soles of their shoes on the steps before letting people into the yard.
Lin Yiyi was a little surprised by their sudden visit and felt that something must be wrong.
Wang Chunya and Li Cui sat on the edge of the kang and looked at each other. Finally, Wang Chunya spoke.
"Yiyi, have you been okay these past few months?"
Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "That's fine. How come you have time to come to see me today? What's the matter?"
Compared to the two people who looked much darker, thinner and more haggard, she was not stupid enough to say that she was living a very comfortable life.
Wang Chunya hesitated and said, "Just... did you hear about what happened at the Youth League Point last night?"
Lin Yiyi looked puzzled. "What's the matter? I haven't been out yet so I don't know. Just tell me what you want to say."
Seeing that Wang Chunya didn't get to the point after talking for a long time, Li Cui couldn't help but interrupt, "The heavy rain last night caused the thatched house of the educated youth to collapse. The house can only be rebuilt after the weather clears up. The village chief asked us to find a villager to stay with, or draw lots.
We don’t know the villagers well, so we want to ask you for help. Can we stay at your house for a while?"
Lin Yiyi felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't show it on her face. She couldn't make the decision about partnering up.
The Zhao family has no extra rooms at all, except for the main house which is empty, but that is someone else's house.
It would be a bit inhumane to refuse directly.
Lin Yiyi thought for a moment and explained gently, "The Zhao family is run by my parents-in-law. I can't make the decision on this matter. Besides, the Zhao family doesn't have any extra rooms for you to live in, so I'm sorry, I can't help you."
Can't help? If you don't help them, they will have nowhere to go.
Wang Chunya said anxiously, "Yiyi, can you please help me? Go and talk to your mother-in-law and ask us to live in the same room with you?"
Afraid of being rejected, Li Cui quickly grabbed Lin Yiyi's hand and said softly, "We'll only stay here for a month or half a month at most. We'll move out when the Youth League Center is repaired. Didn't everyone live in the same room before?"
Lin Yiyi was a little speechless: "..."
Due to the differences created by different eras, it is acceptable for a family of seven or eight to sleep in one room, but she can't accept it.
Besides, she is married and has a husband. It is obviously inappropriate to let an unmarried female educated youth live in the same house with her.
Li Cui and Wang Chunya looked at each other and saw that Lin Yiyi didn't respond for a long time. They knew that she didn't agree and felt that she was a little unkind.
We are all educated youth, can’t we help out when we encounter problems?
"You just said that the village chief arranged a lottery, why didn't you draw lots?"
Lin Yiyi really had no choice. She couldn't just take on the task head-on, right?
Li Cui sighed and said, "The families who are willing to give up their houses and borrow the houses by drawing lots are all poor families, or families with idlers and lazy people.
Moving in and living there for a month is like walking into a tiger's mouth. You're either going to lose your food or your life."
"Otherwise we wouldn't have the audacity to come to you for help. We really have no other choice." In order to make it more convincing, Wang Chunya added.
After listening to their stories about their situations, Lin Yiyi expressed her sympathy, but she could only sympathize.
The way out is to be thick-skinned and look for people who can and are willing to help, not to force demands on people who don’t have any.
She is likely to offend someone.
"I understand your situation, but I really can't make the decision. I'll take you to meet my parents-in-law. If they can make arrangements for you, that would be great. If not, there's nothing I can do."
She had no say in the arrangements of the Zhao family's house, and at this critical moment, how could her mother-in-law let outsiders live in the house?
What if something is discovered and gossip spreads?
Wang Chunya and Li Cui nodded helplessly, "Okay, let's try it first."
Lin Yiyi took the two of them to the main house and told her parents-in-law the whole story.
In return, the mother-in-law Wang Caihong refused decisively: "No, there is no extra room at home. We can't help. The two female educated youths should go ask other families."
Thinking of the Chinese medicine boiled in the kitchen, Wang Caihong frowned at Lin Yiyi and said, "Don't bring anyone home."
Lin Yiyi: “…”
My mother-in-law was really blunt in her words, which made everyone feel awkward.
After hearing Lin Yiyi's mother-in-law's harsh words, Wang Chunya and Li Cui decided not to force her.
I completely believe that Lin Yiyi really has no say.
Although she couldn't help, Lin Yiyi still came up with an idea and kindly said, "Why don't you go to the secretary's house and ask Wang Rulan? Zhao Shuwen has three older sisters, and there should be a vacant house after they get married."
"Well, let's go."
Since the task was not accomplished, Li Cui and Wang Chunya were somewhat disappointed and unhappy, but they did not say anything more.
I just regretted coming to see her. I was embarrassed for nothing.
The two of them have an average relationship with Wang Rulan, otherwise they wouldn't have thought of looking for Lin Yiyi.
Li Cui and Wang Chunya found Wang Rulan with a try-it attitude, but they never expected that the secretary's wife, Wu Yanping, agreed directly.
Liu Qing and Sun Yanmei, who arrived earlier than them, were moving their luggage here.
Wu Yanping is a warm-hearted and generous person. She heard about the situation last night. Today, when she saw the female educated youth coming to the house, she helped make arrangements without waiting for her daughter-in-law to ask, and the four of them lived in one room.
The other two rooms are filled with things and are not convenient for outsiders to rent.
Solved the settlement.
Li Cui and Wang Chunya's impression of Wang Rulan changed greatly. They used to think that she had a lot of bad intentions, but they didn't expect that she would be willing to open the door and help at the critical moment.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
In contrast to Lin Yiyi who just stood by and watched, the two of them couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Lin Yiyi.
As expected, no one is absolutely good or absolutely bad.
…
Because of the heavy rain that lasted overnight and half a morning, the water levels in the river ditch and the Duck Lake behind the mountain rose.
A lot of big fish came.
Donkey Egg and Dog Egg were very brave. They used a winnowing basket to catch a fish weighing about one or two taels and happily brought it back home.
"Second Aunt, look, what kind of big fish is this?"
"Wow, it's a really big crucian carp, so big." Lin Yiyi looked at the palm-sized crucian carp in Ludan's hand and said something against her conscience.
I guess it’s hard enough to make a bowl of fish soup.
Goudan raised his chin and said proudly, "Hey, Second Aunt, I caught this in the ditch with a dustpan. It rained heavily and a lot of fish came into the ditch. Many people are catching them."
When they heard that the water level was rising, they still dared to go to the ditch. Lin Yiyi said seriously: "You two kids, don't go there again. The water is deep. Be careful."
Worried about the two naughty kids, Lin Yiyi went to the third room and reminded her sister-in-law Ma Dongmei.
Ma Dongmei smiled and said, "It's okay. Donkey and Gou Dan both know how to swim. Their father taught them."
Lin Yiyi: “…Oh…that’s good.”
This statement leaves me speechless. You can't say that most of the people who drowned could swim, right?
Because people who can't swim simply don't go into the river.
For fear of offending others, Lin Yiyi did not talk about this topic anymore. She chatted with Ma Dongmei for a few minutes and went back to her room to continue her class.
Zhao Sheng was busy driving back and forth all morning and finally finished all the work after lunch.
He pulled a small truckload of raw materials and stopped at Zhaojiatun to pick up Lin Yiyi and go back to Ze County with him.
Because it rained heavily.
The muddy road from the town to the village was extremely difficult to walk on. By the time we picked up Lin Yiyi, packed our luggage and walked back, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
Arriving at Zhaojia Town, Zhao Sheng parked the car at the clinic and took Lin Yiyi to visit an acquaintance to get some small tools.
