Chapter Twenty-Four: Discharged
The rainy season in Guangdong always comes very early. It rains for several days in a row. The stalls are always cloudy and sunny. The sky outside is dark with dark clouds gathering in small groups and blowing in the wind. Jiang Hao looks at the sky.
Feeling a little gloomy, I counted the money on the table and decided to bite the bullet and go out to set up a stall.
Li Yu heard the sound of the door opening next door, immediately picked up the rubber ring and wrapped it around it a few times, then tied a ponytail casually and ran out.
The uncle at the front desk downstairs was picking his feet. The stick fish and peanut porridge on the table was filled with a thick aroma of porridge. The newspaper read the headline "Household responsibility system is officially implemented, and the reform ushered in a new situation."
The radio was still playing the usual babbling Cantonese songs, and from time to time there was the rustling sound of electricity.
There were not many people walking on Chajiao Street. They set up a borrowed tent, and Jiang Hao was busy setting up tables and chairs. Li Yu picked up the things on the boiler and was about to clean them up, but Jiang Hao snatched them away.
"Go over there." Jiang Hao looked at Li Yu's thin skin and tender flesh. He had never let her touch a boiler. If she got burned, he couldn't explain it to Party Secretary Li.
Li Yu thought Jiang Hao was bothering her, so she had to pick up the rag and wipe the table.
Jiang Hao kept looking towards the street entrance, muttering in his mind that Chui Shuihui and the others had disappeared early in the morning. He and Li Yu were the only ones setting up the stalls. Where were these guys slacking off?
Li Yu moved the stool, accidentally knocked the corner of the table, held his stomach and groaned in pain.
Although the sound was as thin as a mosquito, Jiang Hao still heard it. He immediately moved off the stool and pushed Li Yu to sit on the stool. He was about to reach out and touch her sore spot. The moment he stretched out his hand, he remembered the difference between men and women and paused awkwardly.
in mid-air.
Li Yu's clear and big eyes met Jiang Hao's burning gaze, with a hint of affection in his peripheral vision, and unconscious feelings quietly spread and sprouted in his heart.
"Oh, what a picture of the century."
The visitor's joking voice came, instantly breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between them.
Li Yu stood up immediately, grabbed the corners of his clothes with both hands and turned around awkwardly, turning his back to prevent them from seeing the unnatural expression on his face. Jiang Hao snorted lightly, warning them not to be too presumptuous.
Just when Jiang Hao was about to speak, he stood up and saw She Zaiming and Fanshu Chang walking over slowly, supporting Niu Jingqiang.
He counted with his fingers. Today was obviously not the day for Niu Jingqiang to be discharged from the hospital. Why did he slip out?
"Why did you run out when your injury wasn't healed? Come back here."
Jiang Hao's face was serious and he could not say anything.
Niu Jingqiang's face was a little embarrassed and he didn't dare to answer directly, so he had to turn around and ask for help from others.
Helplessly, Chui Shuihui and Shezai Ming remained silent and refused to answer.
Niu Jingqiang could only walk around on crutches, like a person who was eager to relieve himself but could not find a toilet.
"I, I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore. It's not good to stay in the hospital for too long."
Jiang Hao looked at Niu Jingqiang's still pale face and felt very angry.
Niu Jingqiang came to his side and stammered, "It's a waste of money to live there."
"I can solve the problem with money, but you have to cure it."
Niu Jingqiang was stunned for a long time before he slowly said, "I'm fine. I'll keep the money and go back to Xiaobei Village."
Seeing that the others were silent, Jiang Hao could only silently help Niu Jingqiang sit down, and went to the stove to open a bowl of dumplings. The steam was steaming, mist was everywhere, and a light rain fell. Several people hid under umbrellas.
Jiang Hao sprinkled on a handful of chopped green onions and deliberately did not add pepper, then brought the dumplings to Niu Jingqiang.
