Chapter 77
The donkey cart dragging Yang Laosan had gone far away, and everyone in the grain drying field was still discussing. In the distance, Xu Zhiqiang yelled with a loudspeaker, "Qiao Mu—come here to check the work points and get the grain."

Qiao Mu was wearing a yellow military uniform, with a straight body, and walked through the crowd unhurriedly.

Then Zhu Zhiqiang was called, and accountant Zhang asked, "It's still the same as in previous years, no rice, just sweet potatoes and corn, right?"

Zhu Zhicheng hesitated for a while, and suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, "I—I want rice!"

Accountant Zhang looked at him in surprise, and suddenly smiled, "That's right, people live for the rest of their lives, even if they don't want to enjoy themselves, they have to eat what they should eat, otherwise, it's a blessing to be alive."

Zhu Zhicheng smiled helplessly, he didn't want to eat something good, he was partnering with Su Qian and the others now, he couldn't just pay for some coarse food.

In the past seven years, he has been walking alone and keeping a distance from everyone, and no one has ever tried to integrate into his life. Susie was the first person to extend an olive branch to him, and he did not want to disappoint her kindness.

During this period of time, when he was with them, he suddenly felt that he was just a 25-year-old young man.

He likes this group very much, and he doesn't want to be like before, always walking alone.

Even if he ordered the rice, he would have to send back ten yuan less to his family.

Ten yuan, this year he can find a way to earn it again.

After Susie waited for a long time, her name was finally called. She received 110 catties of rice and [-] catties of corn. She didn't want sweet potatoes, because she really couldn't eat them anymore.

Qiao Mu helped her carry two bags and walked in front, while Susie walked behind with half a bag of corn and ten catties of rice in her hand.

Looking at the back of Qiao Mu in front of her, she thought about asking about Yang Laosan's injury, but she held back after thinking about it.

Forget it, some things should be regarded as ignorance.

After returning home, Qiao Mu helped to set up wooden boards in the female educated youth's house to put the grain on. The ground was damp, and it would not take long for the grain to grow moldy if it was placed directly on the ground.

Yuan Gang also helped Tian Xiaohui carry the grain and came in. As soon as Tian Xiaohui entered the room, she yelled, "I eat white rice today, and I have to eat white rice today!"

Zhao Tingting raised her eyebrows, "How do we eat it? What we get is rice, not white rice, and we have to pound the rice ourselves."

Tian Xiaohui was stunned, "Ah? How to pound the rice?"

"See who has a pound, and a stone mill is also fine, let's use it." Zhao Tingting said.

Tian Xiaohui yelled, "Who should I borrow it from? Ahhhhh, why is it so difficult for me to eat white rice!"

Su Xi laughed, "Tingting, stop teasing her, don't we still have thirty catties of rice bought by Qiao Mu? Let's cook a meal of rice today."

"After receiving the food, we should also celebrate."

Tian Xiaohui hurried over and hugged Susie, "Sister Qian is the best."

She suddenly whispered, "How about eating another smoked rabbit today?"

Susie shook her head deliberately.

Tian Xiaohui lowered her face, and shook Su Xi, "Eat it, eat it, there are still a few, it's a pity to let it go bad, let Qiao Mu go and beat it after eating."

Su Xi chuckled, seeing Tian Xiaohui anxious was the most interesting, "Okay, let's eat."

Seeing Su Xi and the others eating white rice at noon, and there was a pot of meat on the table, the old educated youths were unhappy again.

They also ate meat today, and they didn't finish the wild boar they just shared, but they ate sweet potatoes.

Last year's grain has been eaten, the rice has not been pounded, and the corn is still on the cob.

Only sweet potatoes are edible.

Yu Xue was even more unhappy. Xu Zhiqiang was still busy at the grain drying field. She had to cook by herself, and she had to send it to him after cooking. It was really annoying.

The only consolation is that Xu Zhiqiang has a high labor score, and besides rations, he can also receive dozens of dollars.

Xu Zhiqiang said it last night, and handed over all the money to her.

The next day, Lao Zhang, who drove the donkey cart to send Yang Laosan to the town, came back.

When I came back, the whole village yelled, "Damn Yang's family, I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes!"

Everyone asked, "What's the matter?"

Lao Zhang held a bowl of corned rice, "I almost starved to death."

Everyone heard Lao Zhang spit, and only then did they know.

It turned out that after Yang Laosan was dragged to the town yesterday, the doctors at the health center saw that they couldn't treat such a serious injury there, so they asked him to be dragged to the county seat.

Lao Zhang drove him to the county again.

It was three or four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the county seat, and Lao Zhang didn't drink a sip of water or eat a sip of food.

He thought it was too late to go back at this time, and the mountain road was not easy to walk after dark, so he planned to spend the night in the county town.

He left in a hurry and didn't bring any money with him. Knowing that the Yang family couldn't take care of him at the moment, he wandered all over the streets by himself, planning to do some work for others and get some money to buy something to eat.

After turning around twice, I couldn't find a job. Back at the hospital, Yang Laosan was pushed into the operating room. Yang Laosan, Yang Laoer and Huang Zhaodi were eating steamed buns.

Lao Zhang went in and said, "I'm starving to death, give me something to eat."

Huang Zhaodi rolled her eyes, "How can you eat? We don't even have enough for ourselves."

"The money to buy the buns came from the blood of the eldest and the second!"

Boss Yang devoured the steamed stuffed bun without looking at him at all.

Yang Laoer pointed out the door, "Go to the right, the blood sellers are over there!"

Lao Zhang almost died of anger, he drove for dozens of miles because of the Yang family's affairs, and he didn't even give him a stutter!

He was so hungry that he could only sell blood if he thought about it. Unexpectedly, the nurse tested his blood and said that he was old and there was something wrong with the blood.

Lao Zhang was dizzy from hunger, so he asked Huang Zhaodi to borrow two cents to buy steamed buns. Huang Zhaodi waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't know how much I will spend here, third, how can I lend you money!"

Old Zhang was so angry that he turned his head and left.

He was so hungry that he went out and knocked on doors on the street. A kind old woman gave him a sweet potato and a bowl of water, for which he was very grateful.

Fortunately, the weather was still not cold, so he spent the night in the donkey cart wrapped in clothes, and drove back just after dawn.

Lao Zhang cursed angrily, "I have never been so embarrassing in my life, thanks to the Yang family, I became a beggar once!"

Someone giggled, "The Yang family is too wicked. How about you, don't look at the three sons in this generation, I'm afraid they will be the last ones in the future."

Everyone nodded.

The situation of the Yang family was not good, Huang Zhaodi was a lazy person, and her husband died in middle age.

The Yang family is even poorer, and no one wants to marry the girl into his family.

Boss Yang got involved in a fight when he was less than 20 years old, and after several years in prison, no one wanted to marry him.

Yang Lao Er had an affair with a widow in the village. All the aunts in the village knew about it, and no one promised him a kiss.

Yang Laosan is not a good guy who steals chickens and dogs, and no one wants to marry him.

A family of three bachelors.
