The next day, Mrs. Zheng was sent up the mountain with the help of the entire third team. Yang Lao and others did not come again, and Zheng Bajin did not see Li Yin again, knowing that he was busy.
Now, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. During this period, there was no unhappiness between relatives, nor did the eldest brother compete with him to go home and work.
Legend has it that whoever goes home first and goes around the mill first will be more capable and will be richer in the future.
Zheng Bajin doesn't believe this. He only believes that whoever has a good brain and is hard-working will live a good life.
Although Zheng Baliang had this idea, he did not dare to steal Zheng Bajin's limelight.
According to the usual practice, the helpers on the team cook together. After finishing the meal in the evening, they have to cook a meal themselves the next day, and then wash the borrowed tools, and whoever owns them takes them away. It's an individual traveler.
When there were individual customers, Zheng Bajin offered each table a glass of wine and said some words of thanks.
After the people in the team have eaten and drank enough, they take their own pots and bowls and go home without mentioning them.
Zou Chenggang found Zheng Bajin and took him to the village. He explained the matter about the barren mountain and went through the relevant procedures without mentioning the matter about the beach.
However, Zou Chenggong sent Zheng Bajing away without leaving. He returned to the village and held a meeting, and the villagers mobilized people to invest in building the river embankment.
…
When Zheng Bajin returned home, he suddenly discovered that the village chief was so easy to talk to. He already had a plan in mind, and decided to let Zhang Xiaoyang be responsible for finding a few people and planting chun trees first.
Zhang Xiaoyang readily agreed. In the past few days, he had already seen which people in the village were practical.
First, I found four or five people, drove a tractor, went to Haizi Village, bought some chun trees, came back, and started working.
The people in Haizi Village are also happy. They did not expect that chun trees can be sold for money. Although a small tree only costs one penny, it is still money. If you sell dozens of them, you can weigh a pound of salt.
Someone asked Zhang Xiaoyang if he wanted a big tree.
Zhang Xiaoyang's answer was yes, but he was too busy to buy it now. He would come and buy it after the small trees were planted.
Zheng Baliang found Zheng Bajin and told him what he wanted. He wanted Zheng Bajin to give him another chance. He would definitely lead the people in the village to plant trees on the mountain behind the fifth and sixth teams.
Zheng Bajin shook his head and said: "You can't do this job of leading workers. If you are interested, follow Zhang Xiaoyang and do whatever he asks you to do. If you do well, I won't treat you badly. How much does it cost to others in a day?" Pay the money. If you don’t do a good job, don’t come to me again in the future.”
Zheng Baliang was not very happy, but for the sake of living, he had to do this.
…
Zheng Bajin took Qingqing back to the city, where Zhang Xiaoyang was watching, and he felt relieved.
He had to go back and open the store in the city. That was the first place where he could gain a foothold in the city. Nothing could be lost.
The two left the tractor with Zhang Xiaoyang, walked to the street, and piled into a minibus bound for the city.
At this time, there were only three buses a day from the street to the city, which were very crowded. If Zheng Bajin hadn't been so strong, it would have been difficult to squeeze into the bus.
After getting on the bus, Zheng Bajin asked Qingqing to sit on the seat. People glared at Zheng Bajin hatefully. If it weren't for his big size, they would have wanted to curse him.
Zheng Bajin ignored these people and glanced at a woman standing behind the team, holding a child in her arms and looking anxious.
It seemed that the child in his arms was sick and was about to be sent to the hospital. However, he did not dare to crowd with other people for fear of squeezing the child.
Zheng Bajin suddenly changed his mind and wanted to squeeze out, but the door was blocked. If he forced his way out, several people who were about to get on the bus would be squeezed out.
Thinking about it again, it would probably be difficult.
He suddenly changed his mind, threw himself to the window, opened the window, and waved to the woman outside.
The woman had two long braids, and she looked like she came down from the mountains. She was extremely anxious, seeing that the car was getting fuller and fuller, and she could hardly find any space, but she didn't dare to squeeze forward, when she saw Zheng Bajin waving to her again.
She was stunned and looked around. There was no one around her to greet Zheng Bajin, and she couldn't help but pointed at herself.
Zheng Bajin nodded to her and said, "Come here quickly!"
The woman ran over with the child in her arms, looked at him puzzled, and said, "You called me?"
"Yes, give me the child and I will pull you up." Zheng Bajin said.
However, he didn't notice that his body fell on a woman sitting by the window. The woman had long been impatient and cursed: "You bastard, stay away from me, you are pressing me down."
"I'm sorry!" Zheng Bajin said, without turning away, but stretched out his hand to pull the woman under the car up.
The man hesitated, fearing that Zheng Bajin was a bad person.
"Don't worry, give me the child first to avoid being crowded, and then I'll pull you up. The child must be in bad condition. It's not good to waste time if you have to go to the city to see a doctor." Zheng Bajin said.
He sympathizes with these women. Taking their children to see a doctor alone in such a place with inconvenient transportation can be really stressful.
The man glanced at the child in his hand, gritted his teeth, and actually handed the child to Zheng Bajin.
Zheng Bajin caught it, quickly handed it to Qingqing's hand, and said, "Help take care of it."
Qingqing took it and protected it in her arms, preventing them from getting crowded.
She already liked children and didn't blame Zheng Bajin for being nosy.
Zheng Bajin had reached the window again and reached out to pull the long-braided woman into the car. However, the woman accidentally stepped on the woman by the window.
The man cursed a few times, but the woman was busy with him, saying that her child had a high fever and could not get it down in the street, and she was very worried.
A group of people who didn't get on the bus saw someone climbing in through the window and wanted to follow suit, but the window had already been closed by the woman next to the window.
By this time, the car was already packed with people, and no one else could fit in.
The driver didn't even close the door. He drove slowly and said, "Squeeze in as much as possible and close the door."
However, they couldn't squeeze in at all, and the door couldn't be closed. There was a group of people underneath the car. They followed the car and ran for dozens of meters. When they saw that they couldn't get into the car, they stopped reluctantly, looked at the car, gasped, and sighed!
The woman with long braids squeezed, took the child from Qingqing's hand, and thanked her uncontrollably.
Qingqing's sympathy suddenly overflowed, she stood up and gave her seat to the woman, saying: "Sister-in-law, you hold the child, you can sit down!"
"This, this is so embarrassing." The woman with long braids said apologetically, but she sat down.
She didn't mind standing there, but she was afraid that the child would be squeezed into her hands, so she kept letting Qingqing hold her, but she was really worried.
"It's okay. By the way, why did sister-in-law send the child to see her alone, where is his father?" Qingqing smiled at the woman and stood next to Zheng Bajin.
Suddenly the driver clicked on the brakes, and Qingqing shook his body as he was not yet firmly on his feet. It turned out that there was a pothole in the road.
Zheng Bajin was busy holding on to prevent Qingqing from falling forward, otherwise he would crush a middle-aged man sitting in front of him on a basket on his back.
The woman by the window rolled her eyes at Zheng Bajin and cursed: "Shameless!"
Zheng Bajin did not let go of Qingqing, but said: "I am supporting my wife, do you have any objections?"
The man didn't speak any more and just snorted.
Zheng Bajin ignored it and kept protecting Qingqing from getting hurt.
The long-braided woman glanced at the child in her arms, and tears suddenly fell down.
