Chapter 236 Waiting Time
When her husband is not at home, Lin Yiyi is accompanied by half a basket of peaches every day.
Zhao Sheng said that when he finished eating the peaches, that would be the time for him to come back.
Because peaches have branches and leaves, sprinkling a little water on them from time to time and covering them with a damp cloth can extend their shelf life.
Lin Yiyi's daily life is simple. She studies sports in the morning and does housework and studies painting in the afternoon.
These days she has become familiar with the children who love listening to the radio.
But being too familiar is not good either.
The little one who used to come knocking on the door shyly has now learned to make requests and directly asks for longer playing time.
Lin Yiyi considers herself to be a very loving person.
We will definitely refuse children’s requests.
School is about to start in two days.
Because the person involved knows that I reported the pervert in the textile factory, I am not sure whether he will retaliate.
For her own safety, Lin Yiyi strictly followed her cousin's request and never left the steel plant.
In comparison.
The sister-in-law in the countryside is much freer.
Zhao Liren wandered around the village from time to time these days and went to the mountains twice, but she didn't go deep into the mountains. From time to time, there would be rustling sounds in the half-man-high grass. After hitting them with a stick a few times, they would just run away.
I couldn't see clearly what animal it was.
As for finding treasures in the mountains, it’s good enough if you don’t get lost.
After wandering around outside for a while, Zhao Li returned to the Zhao family.
Sitting on the kang and looking at herself in the mirror, Zhao Liren felt a little helpless. The original owner's name and appearance were similar to hers.
There is really no advantage in terms of appearance.
It's not like what's said in the books that she becomes a top-notch fairy after traveling through time.
In the countryside, we eat coarse grains, mixed grains, and various vegetables every day.
Without any meat, Zhao Liren felt like she was a little malnourished. Her body was already weak, and her complexion was getting worse.
The small refrigerator is a useless golden finger. It can only provide some candies and drinks, and is not as practical as rice and flour.
People in Zhaojiatun have been having a hard time recently.
In the first half of the month, we repaired the thatched houses of the educated youth, and at the end of the month, the whole village was mobilized.
Because of the heavy rain last month, there are many potholes and dents on the road from the village to the town.
After the meeting at the commune, Zhao Tieniu returned to the village to organize people to build the road.
The road must be repaired and leveled before the autumn harvest so as not to delay the delivery of grain after the autumn.
In the morning, all the villagers went outside the village to repair the dirt road, smashing stones and compacting the soil. Fortunately, their village is close to the town, only six kilometers away.
It will definitely be completed on time in half a month.
In the afternoon, the villagers went to the fields to earn work points as usual.
However, when everyone saw Zhao Liren wandering around every day, many people in the village had opinions.
Those who were not convinced went to find the village chief Zhao Tieniu to argue.
"Road construction is something that the whole village has to participate in. Why shouldn't the Zhao family's girl go?"
“…”
Village Chief Zhao was stunned by the question and felt that the matter was difficult to handle. After thinking for a while, he drank a sip of boiled water and pretended to be shocked. "What? She didn't participate? Why are you telling me now?"
"Village Chief, don't you know?"
"There are hundreds of people in the village, how can I take care of them all? You didn't report the problems in time, which just indulged the laziness of some comrades."
“…”
Seeing the village chief's serious expression, as if he really didn't know anything, everyone said nothing and went home.
After everyone left.
Zhao Tieniu went to Old Zhao's house.
"Second brother, starting from tomorrow morning, your niece must participate in the road construction. Otherwise, the villagers will have objections, and it will be difficult for me to do it."
What on earth was the mind of his niece?
When he is sick, he doesn't stay at home. Instead, he wanders around and attracts attention every day without any sense of propriety.
Zhao Tiezhu tried to plead, "But Lili is not well yet, and she can't handle the road construction. Let her rest at home."
"No room for negotiation, you must go. If you don't go, wait for the villagers to report it, and then catch them as examples and write an apology letter. Don't blame me, your uncle, for not reminding you."
Zhao Tieniu was determined and left immediately after delivering his message.
Zhao Tiezhu knew his brother's temper very well and knew that he was not joking. After dinner, he told his wife about the matter, and she stepped forward to talk to their daughter about the work.
After hearing what Zhao's mother said, Zhao Liren asked anxiously, "Repairing the road? I don't want to go. Can I not participate?"
"The whole village will participate in this event. Who told you to wander around and be seen by others? You should go with mother tomorrow."
Seeing her daughter still had to make excuses, Wang Caihong looked unhappy and said, "If you don't go, your whole family will be scolded by the villagers."
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Although Zhao Liren was reluctant, she still nodded in agreement.
The next day.
Before dawn, he followed the Zhao family to the village entrance, got his work tools, found a good position and started working.
Zhao Liren had never done any heavy work before, and after swinging the hoe for more than an hour, blisters appeared on her hands.
Thinking about having to do this work for a whole morning, Zhao Liren looked unhappy.
But when she saw other villagers carrying stones and throwing them at others, she could do nothing.
To relax a little.
Zhao Liren would be lazy from time to time and make some fake moves with the hoe.
But everyone's eyes are not just for show, they can see anyone who is slowing down the progress of road construction.
…
Provincial Capital Steel Plant.
Zhao Sheng has been studying in the transportation team of the provincial steel plant these days.
Car repair skills, tire changing training.
Although he was repeating what he had learned, he looked serious but was secretly thinking about other things.
The director of the transport team of the main factory has a simple and upright reputation.
Holding one of the most sought-after positions, he is able to hold on to that position while being so indifferent and low-key.
He always felt something was wrong.
When his time here was almost up, Zhao Sheng went to look for Director Yu of the provincial textile factory.
The last batch of fabrics was delivered to me thanks to his help.
After chatting with Director Yu for a while, he left the cigarettes and alcohol in his bag and then returned to the Steel Plant.
The time is not right yet, he will have to stay in the provincial capital for a while longer.
Linglong Town.
He Qi and his new partner Yang Wanchun are busy.
Once the terms of cooperation are agreed upon, each party can play to their strengths.
Yang Wanchun was a local and knew a few street urchins. They had a drink together and then Yang took the three of them with him into the mountains.
The four of them started digging with great enthusiasm, but after a few days they couldn't stand it anymore.
In order to avoid people, they sleep in abandoned mines during the day and work at night.
The food and accommodation conditions are poor, and people’s spirits are not good.
Fortunately, they were lucky and found some gold nuggets using the most primitive method.
Although it is only a little bit, it is also a signal that the abandoned mining area is really a gold mine.
With their morale boosted, Yang Wanchun took the three of them out of the mountain and had a delicious meal at a restaurant in town.
The food we ate in the mountains these days was worse than the fodder the mules eat.
None of the four knew how to cook, so they had no choice but to find someone who could cook to join the group.
What they never expected was that just finding a cook would lead to a long series of things.
