At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Bajin announced that it was time to eat. After eating, they went to see Xi Shunhai's food.
About a mile away from Xi Shunjin's house, it is still a single-family village, and the houses are about the same. However, there is a piece of land at the door, which is four or five acres, and it is all planted with cabbage.
In the house, a woman heard the voices outside and couldn't stand up to walk. She supported her body with her hands and crawled out. He was covered in mud, his hair was oily and his face was dirty, and he was in a daze.
The most unsightly thing was her chin, which was a bit crooked and pulled directly to the base of her left ear, as if she had facial paralysis.
She was Xi Shunhai's wife. Watching the cabbage being chopped away, she kept shouting, making sounds that no one could understand, and gesticulating, but she did not dare to step forward to stop it.
It turns out that she is Xi Shunhai's wife and has mental problems. It is said that he was not like this before. He was a completely normal person. It was because a high fever a few years ago burned out his brain.
It is estimated that some nerve is not being dealt with, and the lower body is completely numb. Although the upper body is fine, the head is not working well.
What's rare and valuable is that Xi Shunhai never left her and took care of her for three years. Now, she is much better, but she still can't stand up, walk, or speak.
Xi Shunhai stepped forward, compared with her, and explained to her for a long time, "This is the boss. He bought our vegetables. This way, my daughter can have money to study, and she doesn't have to work so hard to carry it to a far away place to sell it." .”
After explaining for a while, the woman's face looked much better and she was no longer so excited. She gestured and agreed to let people chop vegetables, and she couldn't help but giggle.
Zheng Bajin was a little disappointed when he saw it, so he asked people to cut down the road for about 200 meters and let Zhang Xiaoyang drive a tractor to pull it.
Xi Shunhai didn't bargain, so Zheng Bajin naturally wouldn't treat him badly. He packed more than a thousand kilograms and gave him fifty yuan.
Xi Shunhai was a little moved: "This dish, even if my daughter carries it to the street, at this price, I still have to eat all the leaves."
"The boss took all the side leaves, and even some old leaves, as good cabbage. I'm so embarrassed to give you some money back!" As he said that, Xi Shunhai took out two big unity and wanted to return it to Zheng Bajin.
Zheng Bajin grabbed his hand, pulled back a few fingers and turned them into fists, pinched the money in his hand, and told him: "Just take it, treat your wife well, educate your children, and try to grow as much as possible in the future." If it's closer to the highway, a lot of labor can be saved."
Xi Shunhai's eyes were a little moist and he didn't insist anymore. He found that Zheng Bajin didn't look like a hard worker, but those hands were very powerful and he couldn't resist.
He looked back at his wife and said, "It's been a few years. It's a little better now, but it probably won't be cured."
"It's okay, don't give up. A situation like hers can definitely be cured. Not to mention it will be the same as before, but at least she can take care of herself in the future." Zheng Bajin knew that with the current conditions of Xi Shunhai's family, it was impossible to send him to a big hospital. Treatment, I can't help him.
If one day he becomes a vegetable grower and can afford to hire a small worker, maybe he can hire a nanny and send him to the city for physical therapy every day. If he can get through any nerve, he will get better.
Now, of course, we don’t have that condition. Even the first hospital in the city doesn’t have that technology. It just gives some anti-inflammatory and analgesic injections, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
Just take it one step at a time.
At this time, it was already dark. Zheng Bajin was busy driving the tractor, pulling the vegetables, and took Zhang Xiaoyang back to Xi Shunjin's field. He picked up Zhang Xiao'e and went home together.
When they arrived at the pig farm, the two workers had already returned home from get off work. Only Wang Chaosheng had been impatient for a long time. Seeing Zheng Bajin finally coming, he said, "Why is it so late?"
Zheng Bajin explained: "I was delayed for a while when I went to buy groceries. I'm sorry, please go back to eat quickly. I'll take care of it."
Wang Chaosheng looked at him pulling a cart of vegetables and was a little curious: "Where did you buy it? It's quite a lot."
"Haizi Village, that's really a suitable place for growing vegetables." Zheng Bajin said and glanced at the sky. The sky here was relatively clear, but in Haizi, it was drizzling.
It really feels like the weather is different for ten miles. Even if there is drought here and there is no corn harvest, the soil there will become damp after one night.
"Let me help you get out of the car and then leave." Wang Chaosheng said, about to help with the dishes.
"No, let it stay in the car. You go back to eat first. It won't be too late when you go to work tomorrow." Zheng Bajin said and glanced at Zhang Xiao'e. What should I call her?
After thinking for a while, he said: "Xiaoyang and I stay, everyone else should go home!"
Zhang Xiao'e hesitated to speak and sighed in her heart, knowing that Zheng Bajin was telling her to go back.
Apart from the two of them, there were Wang Chaosheng and himself, but he still couldn't call himself his stepmother.
"Then, what should I do with the stove and pots in this car?" Zhang Xiao'e said.
"The fire has gone out. I'll bring it back when the food is ready tomorrow." Zheng Bajin said.
Now, the pigs in the pigsty have had enough to eat and drink, and there is no need for the vegetables in the car. They are temporarily placed in the car and will get off the car tomorrow. The more they turn, the more damage they will suffer.
Tomorrow, he will have to teach Wang Chaosheng how to spread these vegetables aside to cool, finely chop them in batches, mix them with bone meal and boiling water, and then feed them to the pigs.
This cart of vegetables can be fed for a week. If you eat it all at once, it will definitely go bad. By then, the pigs will get sick if they eat it.
Zhang Xiao'e said nothing more and followed Wang Chaosheng back to the village.
Wang Chaosheng originally looked down on this woman, but now that he is a colleague, he still can't talk to her. However, for the sake of her fellow villagers, she was still sent to the door of Zheng Bajin's factory.
At this time, Zheng Bajin and Zhang Xiaoyang were lying in a small temporary house, staring at each other with big eyes.
Suddenly, Zheng Bajin's eyes lit up when he looked at Zhang Xiaoyang.
Zhang Xiaoyang was startled, instinctively covered his face, pinched his thighs, and said, "Brother, what are you going to do? You and your sister-in-law haven't seen each other for a few days, but you can't think of me as her!"
"Tch, do you think you are Teacher Pan or Wang Zhaojun?" Zheng Bajin cursed, "I was thinking, our stall is getting bigger and bigger, and we don't have enough people, so we are a little busy. What will we do then? You alone can't continue to buy meat and look after pig farms like last year? And in Haizi Village, there are so many vegetables planted now. When the time comes, who will lead people to harvest them? Who will drive them back? ?”
Zhang Xiaoyang realized that he had misunderstood Zheng Bajin, and he was not the person he imagined. He smiled awkwardly, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It scares me to death! How about hiring a few more people? One person will be responsible for the pig farm, and one person will be responsible for buying and curing the meat. You will be responsible for everything in the city." Selling meat?”
Zheng Bajin: "???"
Do you look like a butcher?
"Where can we find so many people? It is easy to find a few people who can contribute and do heavy work, but it is really difficult to find people who can manage." Zheng Bajin sighed. This is all due to lack of education. What a loss!
