Huang Qiuxia was embarrassed by the rebuke. She couldn't understand why Hu Zi didn't refute her no matter what she said.
Why are you saying such harsh words to me in front of Yang Baiyi?
If you want to lose your temper, you should have done it earlier. There were only the two of them there, and no one saw you embarrassed yourself.
Now, being humiliated in front of the person she hated the most was more painful for Huang Qiuxia, who always thought highly of herself, than having herself killed.
Huang Qiuxia wanted to get off the bus and walk back, but after looking at the fine grains she had bought, she gave up.
I just carried the grains from the supply and marketing cooperative to the ox cart and I was sweating profusely. If I carry the fine grains back to Chenjiatun, I will be exhausted to death!
"A peasant is a peasant. He has no gentlemanly manners at all. He is too rude."
After saying this coldly, Huang Qiuxia turned her head and stopped looking at Hu Zi and Yang Baiyi.
"Doctor Yang, do you want to buy anything else? If not, let's go back now!"
Hu Zi ignored Huang Qiuxia this time. As long as she didn't offend Dr. Yang, Hu Zi didn't care what she said about him.
"No, I've already bought everything in the county."
On the way back, Hu Zi sat on the left pole to drive the cart, and Yang Baiyi sat on the right pole, chatting with Hu Zi.
Although Huang Qiuxia, who was sitting on the ox cart, was not far away from the two of them, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between them, isolating Huang Qiuxia from them.
At noon, the ox cart swayed to Chenjiatun. Hu Zi considerately drove the ox cart directly to Yang Baiyi's doorstep.
"Hu Zi, why didn't you stop at Uncle Baichuan's door just now? Don't you know that I live at Uncle Baichuan's house?
You drove the car directly here, and I had to walk so far back. Are you targeting me on purpose?
How can a grown man be so petty? I don’t care, you have to turn around and send me over.”
Huang Qiuxia, who had been silent all the way, suddenly started to attack Hu Zi.
"Are you sick? Why should I know where you live?
Don't you know where you live? Why didn't you get off the bus when you arrived?
You either get off here, or I'll take you straight to the bullpen."
This time, Hu Zi didn't give Huang Qiuxia any face and directly retorted.
I received an assignment from the team leader today and went to the town to wait for Doctor Yang.
Why did Doctor Yang go to the county to get medicine? Wasn't it for the health of the members? How could Chen Baiwang let Doctor Yang walk back?
Huang Qiuxia was going to the town to buy food, and Hu Zi was a kind man, so he took Huang Qiuxia with him.
But it would have been fine if Huang Qiuxia was arrogant towards him, but she even dared to be sarcastic to Dr. Yang, which made the good-tempered Hu Zi extremely angry.
"Alright! Huzi, thank you for coming to pick me up and sending me home. Take this pack of cigarettes."
Yang Baiyi took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket.
"Doctor Yang, have you forgotten? I don't smoke."
Hu Zi quickly declined.
Going to pick up Doctor Yang was a task assigned by the team leader. I had earned work points, so how could I accept Doctor Yang's things?
"Just take it if you give it to me. If you don't want to take it back, give it to your father."
Yang Baiyi forced the cigarette into Hu Zi's hand.
"Thank you, Doctor Yang! This is a really good cigarette. Even the captain can't bear to smoke it!"
Hu Zi had seen Daqianmen cigarettes in the supply and marketing cooperative. They usually cost 35 cents and required cigarette coupons. An ordinary member could not earn a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes in a day's work.
Doctor Yang is so generous. If anything happens to Doctor Yang in the future, I have to run away quickly to live up to this Daqianmen!
"Huh! I was wondering why you acted like a lackey, but it turns out there are benefits to this!
How about you take me to Uncle Baichuan's house and give me fifty cents? This pack of cigarettes is not worth fifty cents, right? "
Huang Qiuxia was arrogant and thought she had seen through the essence of the matter.
"You better save your money! I don't care about your dirty money. Get out of the car now, Doctor Yang, and go home. I have to go back to the cowshed to deliver the cattle."
Hu Zi said something politely to Yang Baiyi, turned around, picked up the flour bag from the ox cart and threw it on the ground.
"How could you treat a female comrade like this? I'm going to report you to the captain."
Huang Qiuxia was both ashamed and angry. Hu Zi, this stubborn man, had actually made her lose face in front of Yang Baiyi. How could she gain a foothold in the production team in the future?
Yang Baiyi shook his head. It seemed that Huang Qiuxia really regarded him as an imaginary enemy, but he had never taken her seriously.
Ignoring the two of them, Yang Baiyi carried the big bag and pushed open the gate of his house.
The yard was swept very clean, smoke rose from the kitchen chimney, and faint voices could be heard.
"Wanru, Xiaoxiao, I'm back."
Yang Baiyi shouted as he walked towards the kitchen.
"Brother, it's my brother who is back."
Yang Xiaoxiao ran out of the kitchen.
"You're back just in time. I just started cooking. There's still time to add some water to the pot."
Lin Wanru stood at the kitchen door, smiling like a flower.
"I just wanted to eat the food you cooked, so I rushed back at noon.
I'll put the things back in the main room first and come over to help you cook."
Yang Baiyi put the things in the main room and went to the kitchen to help.
"You've been in the car for such a long time, just wait in the main room to eat. The meal for three people can be prepared quickly."
Lin Wanru said as she lit the fire.
"I'm not tired. Looking at you and Xiaoxiao, I don't feel tired at all."
Yang Baiyi looked at the noodles rolled out on the chopping board and nodded with satisfaction.
When the family is poor, one must be able to endure the poverty; when the family has the means, one must be willing to eat. Lin Wanru did a great job in this regard.
"Let me light the fire, and you roll some more noodles. These noodles are not enough for the three of us."
Yang Baiyi came to the stove and replaced Lin Wanru.
"Okay then, I said add more water and make do with this meal."
Lin Wanru got some white flour from the main room, washed her hands and started kneading the dough.
"Xiaoxiao, have you been good at home these days? Have you listened to what Sister Wanru said?"
"I'm obedient. Xiaoxiao is the most obedient."
Yang Xiaoxiao clung tightly to Yang Baiyi, her eyes smiling like two crescent moons.
Although Lin Wanru has been very nice to Yang Xiaoxiao these days, the little girl still feels uneasy. From childhood to adulthood, the little girl has never left her brother.
The noodles for lunch were very simple, with just a few cabbage leaves floating on top and a few drops of sesame oil.
Because it is early winter, there are no seasonal vegetables except cabbage and potatoes.
After extinguishing the fire in the stove and taking the noodles out of the pot, the three of them went to the main room to prepare to eat.
"I brought some red sausage from the county town. Cut some up and eat it with the noodles."
There are so many supplies in the space, and Yang Baiyi is reluctant to let Yang Xiaoxiao and Lin Wanru eat such a vegetarian diet.
Under the cover of the big bag, Yang Baiyi took out two sausages from the space and carefully left the packaging in the space.
