Chapter 234 A Few Bunches of Grapes
The days went on as usual, but the high temperatures continued to rise.
The Zhao family started to make noise early in the morning.
Today is the day Zhao Li goes to the provincial capital to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
Donkey Egg and Gou Egg held on to their father tightly, hanging on either side.
No matter what Zhao Li and Ma Dongmei said, they refused to let go and would not let up even after spanking him.
In the end, there was no other choice but to take the two boys and lock them up in the house.
Zhao Li said a few words to his wife, packed his luggage and left the house, heading towards an unknown journey.
After her husband left, Ma Dongmei could no longer hide her reluctance. Her eyes were hot and she went to the kitchen to wipe her tears before returning to the third room.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same.
The scene of crying and parting with reluctance is noisy and disturbing to others.
Zhao Liren was awakened by the crying of a child. She was very angry because she had not gotten enough rest. She lay in bed and wanted to take a nap but could not fall asleep.
More than half an hour later, Zhao's mother brought breakfast into the house.
Zhao Liren asked directly: "Mom, why was it so noisy outside just now?"
"Your third brother is going to the provincial capital to attend university, and Donkey Egg and Dog Egg are chasing him."
Wang Caihong put the pickles and corn cakes on the kang table, and began to help her daughter fold the bedding and put it in the cabinet.
Zhao Liren didn't even move her chopsticks and asked in confusion, "University? Can I go to university now?"
In fact, what she wanted to ask more was how come the person who went to college was Zhao Li?
Wang Caihong sighed, closed the cabinet door and walked out. "Oh, it's the worker-peasant-soldier college student. Don't ask. Eat quickly. I have to go out to work soon."
Zhao Liren didn't ask any more questions. She just felt something was wrong as she watched her mother leave.
The book does mention places in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, but wasn’t the person who went there the male educated youth Wang Wenye?
A model worker with positive ideas, he won the recognition and votes of the public.
Now the matter has actually changed to a supporting character in a supporting family that is not even described in the book. It can be said that the plot is completely different except for the names of the characters.
Could it be that her arrival led to a series of mishaps?
Zhao Liren was eager to prove the direction of the book. If the changes were too big, then the plot of the book that she already knew would be completely useless.
From now on you will have to cross the river by feeling the stones.
Completely tied up.
After breakfast, Zhao Liren no longer hid in the house. She waited for the Zhao family to go out to work, and then she went out to wander around the village and secretly investigate.
…
Linglong Town.
Zhao Sheng has been very busy these days. In addition to transporting raw materials to Jinji Town, he also has to find time to run to the new mining area in Linglong Town and move all the boxes he had picked up before to new places.
While ensuring the completion of the task, three new burial locations must be selected.
The statement about the new mining area in Linglong Town is actually inaccurate.
This is actually an abandoned and sealed old mining area that has existed for nearly a hundred years.
At the beginning, the old government provided 180,000 taels of silver as starting capital and hired foreign miners. Soon after the start of work, it was discovered that the gold content of the mine was not high and transportation was inconvenient.
Over the course of several years, the company suffered a deficit of 450,000 taels.
Later, the situation became tense, and there were internal and external wars, so mining was temporarily stopped.
Ten years later, the area was occupied by a new warlord, who adopted traditional production methods and dug up a mineral vein. Unfortunately, due to backward management and mining technology, the profit was very small.
Warlords were divided and uprisings broke out.
The White Stork Kingdom and the Sakura Kingdom plundered everywhere and war broke out.
This mining area had successively opened listed companies and changed hands for mining. Wars, famines and natural disasters broke out and the people lived in misery until it was forgotten.
Zhao Sheng has always had a habit of getting in touch with personnel matters, including local customs and unofficial rules, and he would find out everything no matter how big or small.
People who have no foundation or backing cannot afford to lose, so naturally they have to be careful about everything.
Avoid all troubles.
He discovered these boxes of things by accident. He didn't know if it was because of the turbulent situation at the time that he didn't have time to move them away, so he hid a small part of them.
Because they were so heavy and numerous, he could only use a shovel and take them away in batches. It took him many days to move them all.
During this period of time, some thief spread the news that there was a large gold mine under Linglong Town, and many people on the road came to the town after hearing the news.
Among those who were interested was He Qi.
The temptation of being at the forefront of the trend can easily lead to one's own fall. Zhao Sheng has advised and reminded him, but it is useless to say more. The right thing to do is to draw a clear line with him before anything happens.
After moving the last batch today, he has been going to the provincial capital for the time being.
Money can tempt people, and sooner or later something bad will happen.
Ze County Family Compound.
The noisy kids in the yard are almost ready to have a singing party.
Lin Yiyi woke up from a dream and washed up. After dinner, she took off the bed sheets and pillowcases while the weather was good.
She also took all the men's cloth clothes and vests and shorts to the sink to wash.
The sheets were washed by stepping on them.
Lin Yiyi originally planned to step on the men's clothes and pants while washing them, but when she saw the worn-out and thin fabric, she changed her mind.
She was afraid that he would get soaked if washed.
At that time, the man will deliberately ask her to pay compensation, and it would be bad to use the compensation to do other shameful things.
Despite the hot summer weather, the pool was cool with gusts of cool breeze blowing from time to time.
Lin Yiyi scrubbed the man's clothes carefully, making sure there was no sweat smell or stains before rinsing and wringing them dry.
When she finished washing a pile of clothes and was walking back, there were a few little ones at her door, standing on tiptoe on the stove and looking in the window.
Lin Yiyi found it funny. She knew why they came and they were deliberately teasing the children.
"Ahem...what are you looking at?"
"ah!"
“Run!”
"She saw us."
When the little ones heard the woman's voice, they were so scared that they ran straight back home, leaving frightened words in the corridor as they ran.
Lin Yiyi was a little speechless: "..."
Is she Grandma Wolf?
What scares the kids so much?
After hanging up the clothes in the corridor, Lin Yiyi patiently went into the house and turned on the radio, which played the lunch program that the little flowers loved to listen to on time.
Then he picked up the lunch box from the cupboard, closed the door and went to the cafeteria.
Today, because I came a little late to hang out the clothes, there were a lot of people queuing in the cafeteria.
She was pregnant now so she didn't dare to squeeze with others and chose a window with the least queue.
However, they hadn't been in line for long when they felt someone looming from behind. Lin Yiyi turned around and saw that it was Zhao Sheng, and she immediately laughed.
"Why are you here? Aren't you busy today?"
He usually comes back at night, so she usually eats lunch alone.
Zhao Sheng took the lunch box from her hand, pursed his lips and smiled: "Not busy, go find a seat next to me, I'll queue up for food."
Lin Yiyi was unwilling and said coquettishly, "No, I don't want to sit. I stay at home every day and just walk a few more steps during meal time. Let me queue with you."
The man seemed unable to persuade her, and he had no choice but to agree as he watched her act coquettishly.
A rough man and a delicate wife.
The actions of the two people made everyone jealous.
Do we have to be together even when we have a meal?
As soon as the beauty entered the cafeteria, she attracted everyone's attention. People who were eating looked at her, and those who were queuing looked at her. Looking at a beautiful person was pleasing to the eyes and also helped with eating.
But before she could appreciate it for a while, her husband came to the cafeteria like a hound looking for someone.
The man who had been running to the cafeteria was no longer in a hurry after finding a wife.
He stood behind the beauty for a long time with a sullen face, not saying a word, waiting for her to notice him and talk to him.
It’s simply…
shameless.
It's obviously this black-faced man who is chasing after his wife, but he still has to pretend that it's his wife who is following him?
Jiang Hongqing, the logistics accountant of the transport team, looked at the loving couple and felt envious.
A marriage without love is really unbearable.
Due to the urging of her family, she chose to compromise and married a man of equal status.
A man who is not gentle and considerate as long as he works.
After getting the meal, Zhao Sheng escorted Lin Yiyi out of the crowded cafeteria.
Back home.
Lin Yiyi set the table for dinner, and the man washed his hands and face with Lin Yiyi's scented towel.
She walked to the cupboard and prepared to get chopsticks and a spoon, but as soon as she opened it, Lin Yiyi saw what was inside, and her eyes were instantly filled with surprise and joy.
She brought out the basin of grapes and placed it on the round table, then hugged the man who was wiping his sweat from behind, not even minding the strong smell of his sweat.
"My dear cousin, how can you be so amazing? I made a wish yesterday and you fulfilled it for me today."
Zhao Sheng listened to the compliments from the greedy cat behind him, his eyebrows and eyes were full of pride, but his face remained calm and steady, and he said calmly: "It's just a small matter, look at you like this."
He will have to visit the people from the non-staple food transport team more often in the future.
Peaches, pears, and apricots are all available for the greedy cat to eat to his heart's content.
