Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 162: Trying to Pass the Buck

Jiang Yu, who was sleeping soundly, had no idea what had happened in the mountains. Although the woman with big braids ruined her plan to find Yi Chi, she didn't care about such a small matter at all.

Yi Chi's status was not good. If she interacted with him too much in public, not only would she be criticized, but it might also affect the life of his village. So Jiang Yu basically chose to go up the mountain at night.

I went to see him last night to share that box of pig head. It was braised thoroughly and every bite was satisfying with the rich sauce flavor.

If Yi Chi can do it, it would be great. The wild boar's head should be able to be made in the same way, right? Jiang Yu had a beautiful idea.

The next morning, she woke up to a commotion. The sun rose early and everyone woke up early.

The villagers have already started cooking. Some are calling their children to get up, the mother-in-law is scolding her daughter-in-law for wasting food, and the chickens in the chicken coop are also urging for food, clucking non-stop. The pigs on the hillside are also hungry, and the birds in the mountains...

Jiang Yu also felt that the mornings were getting noisier and noisier. What was the reason? Could it be that the creatures in the entire construction team were collectively in menopause? Was this normal?

In fact, if you think about it a little more, you can understand why this situation occurs.

The original peace in the construction brigade was because most families had good living conditions, so even if a large family lived together, they could live in peace.

Now, everyone even cares about how the head of the family distributes food. They argue over whether there is more or less food in their bowls. All the conflicts are on the surface. There is a small quarrel every two days and a big quarrel every three days. Naturally, it is lively.

Jiang Yu needs to go to the hospital today, and this situation will probably continue until Xue Li is able to be discharged.

She is not the only one like this; many of the injured's families in the village are like this.

Zhuang Shouren was so worried about this that he almost went bald. Fortunately, he had a buzz cut to begin with, so even if he was bald it wouldn't be very obvious. If it really didn't work, he was advised to just shave it off completely.

This period of time is a critical time for harvesting rice, but as a result, nearly one-fifth of the team had someone injured at home. Every household had to send someone to take care of the patients, resulting in a shortage of people to harvest the rice.

Fewer people meant a slower harvest process, and when we got up this morning, we all saw a dark sky in the distance.

It's about to rain, but the rice in the fields has not been harvested yet, and the millet on the drying yard is only half dry. It's really killing me!

Several old farmers hurriedly went to find Zhuang Shouren, implying that they must rush to harvest the grain before the rain came.

As a result, those who need to go out cannot leave. Everyone must go to the fields to work, and everyone has to do their best for the team at this time.

When Jiang Yu was carrying his bicycle out, he ran into the militia who came over to notify him.

"Jiang Zhiqing, you have to go to the fields with everyone else to harvest today. It's going to rain soon, and we can't afford to waste any time." The militiaman ran away after saying this. He also had to go to another house at the end of the village to notify them.

Jiang Yu frowned. If she didn't go to the hospital, would Chen Jinghan, who had been up all night, still be able to hold on? If he couldn't hold on, who would take care of Xue Li?

It’s not that she is indifferent, she just doesn’t care about the villagers. She doesn’t care whether they are having a hard time or not!

But thinking about the rice in the field, it seems that it is not impossible to stay and join in the rush to harvest. What's wrong with rice? It smells so good!

Tsk, so annoying, is there any way to ask Xue Li for a leave? Let her trouble the hospital nurse to take care of her for a day.

Chen Jinghan didn't see her go over to take over the shift, so she shouldn't be coming back, right? ?

Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Yu's mind, but he still carried his bicycle back, put it in the house, changed into cotton clothes suitable for working in the fields, and then locked the door and went out.

Fu Biao and the other two were already waiting for her in the yard. They were also a little worried about the two people in the hospital. One was a good brother, and the other was a friend with whom they had been on good terms for a year. The sudden need to harvest disrupted Jiang Yu's plan, which also made them worried.

If Xue Li and Chen Jinghan were in an openly intimate relationship, it would be understandable for the boy to take care of the girl if she got hurt.

But here lies the problem. In this era when gay men and women have to keep a distance of one meter when going out on the street to show their innocence, Chen Jinghan can't help with many things.

It is easy for Xue Li to keep watch when the boy is sleeping at night, but what should he do as a man when he needs to wash and go to the toilet during the day?

It's all because of this damn sky.

"Didn't you do more work in the past two days?" Jiang Yu was speechless as he looked at the rice fields where there was no obvious progress.

"Don't mention it. The day before yesterday, wild boars came down the mountain. Halfway through the work, everyone went to hunt wild boars. The day before yesterday, many people said they were injured and wanted Lin Anna to pay compensation. They made a fuss and didn't go to work. There was a fight again yesterday..." Fu Biao was also speechless. So what was this construction team doing? Was it cursed? Suddenly, it became unlucky.

Jiang Yu looked at the endless rice fields and felt that even if he worked until death today, he would not be able to harvest all the rice because it would rain in the evening.

Just when everyone was frowning, the tractor from the brigade arrived.

What's the use of a tractor? It can't harvest rice and it's not a harvester.

Jiang Yu took a look and left. She had to gather with Team 2 and wait for the team leader to assign tasks.

Several male educated youth did the same and followed suit.

As soon as they left, Zhuang Shouren came over. He looked at Jiang Yu with a half-confused and half-embarrassed look and asked, "Jiang Zhiqing, can you make a harvester?"

"What?!" Jiang Yu almost suspected that she was hallucinating. Are you kidding me? Her five senses, which were so powerful, would fail one day?

"Jiang Zhiqing, can't you make a bicycle? Do you know anything about harvesters? They all use chains, so this won't be difficult for you!" Grandma Yang also followed behind, her voice was very loud, as if she wanted everyone to hear her, expressing her approval of Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu laughed. What? You want to put her up? You guys are so funny! "If you're not awake yet, let your grandson pee to wake you up. What are you talking about in your sleep? I can't do it. You can find anyone else to do it! You're crazy." He rolled his eyes at Zhuang Shouren, not giving the captain any face.

Zhuang Shouren was originally forced to do this by others. After all, Jiang Yu was the only one in the whole team who had some talent in this area. He had thought of giving it a try, but now, Grandma Yang's words had directly offended him.

"Hey, little girl, we came to you because we respect you, why are you talking to me so harshly?" Grandma Yang was still unconvinced and started yelling with her hands on her hips.

Xiong Lijin turned around suddenly, staring at Grandma Yang with his eyes, and said mercilessly, "I think you want to take this opportunity to put the blame for the failed harvest on Jiang Yu! You are very smart in your calculations, thinking that everyone is a fool to be bullied? Uncle Zhuang, aren't you the most fair and just team leader? Why are you still leading this obviously nonsense?"
