"Hey? You're here just in time. Come with me to the Jiuli Brigade. Comrade Liu Neng just told me that the match factory has set a task target for us of 3.5 million boxes a month. I have to find Lao He quickly."
"Hearing aids? For the Shen brothers and sisters? Both of them? Are you also bringing the Yang family's brats? Here, you two... okay, okay, let's go together!"
Zhou Xu saw Li Dahe stop the two girls who were shaking along the way. They said a few words and left together.
He couldn't help but admire Lin Nianhe.
To be able to live like one who grew up here in just a few months is really not an ordinary person.
Thinking about Sister Lin, and then thinking about Brother Cheng, Zhou Xu felt that a compound that could raise such a person must be extraordinary.
While he was sighing, a mean male voice suddenly came to his ears: "Man, do you have my letter?"
Zhou Xu was startled, and turned around to see Xie Yufei smiling stupidly at him.
Zhou Xu had a way of identifying people. He recognized Xie Yufei at a glance and said, "Comrade Xie Yufei, right? I don't have your letter."
"ah?"
The light in Xie Yufei's eyes dimmed, and the smile on his face could no longer be maintained.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Xu could only say: "Are you anxious? I'll send your letter to you right away."
Xie Yufei was overjoyed and sincerely invited: "Thank you, look, I've caused you trouble... Why don't you grab some corn and take it away? I rubbed it with my own hands!"
Zhou Xu: "..."
There are all kinds of people in one compound!
The captain of the fifth team laughed angrily: "Xie Yufei! Are you going to give away the collective things?"
Xie Yufei said "Ah" and grinned happily: "Look at your impatience, don't I have nothing ready-made on hand? Why don't I give you a few more later?"
"How can it be the same? If everyone is like you..."
"What's the difference? It's not all corn. If you insist on saying it's different, then you can give me two less handfuls when we divide the grain."
"You little brat..."
Zhou Xu listened to the two talking about each other, twitched his lips and planned to leave.
Before leaving, he sorted out the letters in his satchel as a habit, and then found a brown envelope rolled up at the bottom.
The envelope was crumpled. It must have been folded down accidentally when packing the letters.
Zhou Xu took it out casually, took a look, and was happy.
"Xie Yufei, your letter."
…
Jiuli Brigade, He Family.
He Aimin's eyes were full of little stars and he stared at Li Dahe intently: "Brother Li, are you serious? You didn't fool me? Are you really going to give me half of this good job?"
Li Dahe smoked his cigarette, with an expression that said, "You are so strange." He replied calmly: "How can I fool you with such a big thing? All the comrades from the factory are here, so hurry up and do the work in the field. In two days, God, I’ll bring two comrades to teach you how to do it.”
"Hey, hey!" He Aimin was still a little uneasy. He just listened to Li Dahe's arrangements and couldn't say anything else.
Li Dahe looked at him and said: "Let me tell you something ugly, this job was done by Lin Yatou and the other three with great effort. If you cheat and cheat, you will not have any jobs in the future, and you will have to pay the match factory." It’s a loss, Lao He, you have to keep an eye on it and don’t make any mistakes.”
If the captain of the Jiuli Brigade was still Wang Wei, then Li Dahe would be exhausted and would not even ask them to work together.
But today's Jiuli Brigade is different from what it used to be. With He Aimin keeping an eye on production, he is relieved.
He Aimin subconsciously replied: "Brother Li, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on this job even if I don't sleep, so I won't let anything slip!"
He was still confused at the moment, and what he said was instinctive.
Such words are more sincere and more reassuring.
Li Dahe waited for He Aimin to come back to his senses before pointing to Lin Nianhe and Wen Qingqing: "Old He, there is another thing. The Shen brothers and sisters and that little brat Yumin can't hear. These two girls got into trouble by trying to get along. Hearing aids, please let the two families come over."
He Aimin: "...!"
That is to say, He Aimin is in good health, otherwise he would have been frightened by the continuous good news.
His mouth was open and his eyes were red.
His lips moved for a long time, and then he whispered: "Girl, that thing costs two hundred a piece, how can his family afford it..."
He Aimin kept the price of hearing aids in mind. For a long time, his dreams were about two hundred long and two hundred short.
Lin Nianhe smiled and said: "Uncle He, it was impossible at first, but it just happened to be a job in the match factory. They did some odd jobs and saved up in a year and a half."
He Aimin was stunned.
He looked at Lin Nianhe intently, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Why did he feel that the work of the match factory was finally divided into half of the Jiuli Brigade, and it had something to do with the affairs of those two companies?
He will never know that this thing has something to do with the bowl of water and the two eggs.
The first thing He Aimin did when he came back to his senses was to call out to He Jianjun: "Jianjun! Jianjun! Go quickly and call Cai Lanniang and Yang Daniu over... and ask them to bring Yumin too!"
Not long after, there were five more people in the He family's yard.
Shen Cailan was worried about her mother and came with her.
Seeing Lin Nianhe, Shen Cailan's eyes lit up and she called "Teacher Lin" obediently.
Yang Daniu and his wife opened their mouths, and both raised the corners of their mouths, showing an ugly smile.
There was no way they could help it. When they saw Lin Nianhe, they would automatically think of the two hundred yuan that weighed as much as a mountain, and they really couldn't laugh.
Yang Yumin hid behind Yang Daniu, blinking his big black and white eyes, not daring to show his head.
He rarely leaves home. The outside world is too unfamiliar to him and he is afraid.
He Aimin stepped forward with his pounding heart in mind, cleared his throat and said, "Two things... forget it, Girl Lin, how about you get that thing for them first?"
"Oh, sure." Lin Nianhe raised his chin towards Wen Qingqing and motioned for her to come forward.
Wen Qingqing responded and took the lead to walk towards Cai Lanniang amid everyone's doubtful or expectant eyes.
Cailan Niang didn't know what was going on and was a little panicked. She subconsciously held her daughter's hand and took a step back.
"Cailan, don't let Auntie hide, it's a good thing." Lin Nianhe said to Shen Cailan.
Shen Cailan didn't know what a good thing it was, but she believed in Lin Nianhe.
The little girl took her mother's hand and slowly wrote words on her palm.
Cai Lan Niang understood what her daughter meant and stopped hiding. She looked nervously at Wen Qingqing, who was tinkering with a small copper box in front of her, and swallowed.
Wen Qingqing didn't let Cai Lanniang wait too long, and quickly packed up the hearing aid and put it on her.
The sound of wind, water, rustling of leaves, distant talking and laughing, countless sounds poured into Cai Lanniang's ears.
And her familiar daughter’s urgent voice:
"Mom, mother? What's wrong with you?"
It’s a long-lost world with sound.
Cailan Niang slowly lowered her head and saw Xiao Cailan writing in her palm with worried eyes, and tears fell down.
She looked at the top of her daughter's head and said in a dry voice: "Cailan, mother is okay..."
Shen Cailan's fingers froze.
She hasn't finished writing yet.
The little girl was confused when she heard her mother tremblingly say:
"Cailan, mother... mother can hear you..."
