Chapter 125 Yu Laogui
This person Ye Yuze knew was Yu Laogui, who drove the carriage in the company. He usually had no sense of presence in the company.
The family lives alone in the horse pen. They rarely come to the company except to pull things.
He has four children. Although they are all Ye Yuze's classmates, Ye Yuze can hardly remember their names.
What I remember most is that the standard for their family is to be dirty.
The clothes of the two adults were always shining and full of oil stains.
Children are the same. There will definitely be two streaks of mucus under the nose. It may be because it has been soaked in mucus for a long time. The part above the lips is always red.
In school, they have always been assigned to the corner of the classroom. This is really not discrimination. It is that they cannot change no matter how hard the teacher emphasizes.
The eldest son of his family is a daughter, the same age as Yang Geyong. Her runny nose is gone. But she only washes her face when she washes her face.
So much so that everything below his face was dark.
Yu Laogui and his wife are not only responsible for raising horses, but also raising pigs.
This couple is responsible for feeding the dozens of pigs in the company.
According to a classmate who occasionally visited his home, his family basically did not eat vegetables. Even the staple food was often eaten as fodder.
No one can verify this. But Ye Yuze later thought about it. It was really possible.
After all, the feed provided by the infrastructure company is all bran and soybeans. If compared with some poor areas, these foods can be considered good food.
Yu Laogui is very tall, about 1.8 meters tall, but very thin. When he opens his arms, the ribs on his chest are clearly visible.
The two arms hang like two sticks at both sides of the body. Almost no flesh can be seen.
He is about fifty years old. His hair is basically gone. He is lying on a stretcher with his eyes closed.
There was a deep indentation on his head.
"How did this happen?"
Ye Wancheng was a little panicked. He was not afraid of trauma. It was just bleeding, which could be sutured.
But it would be scary to have such a deep groove in a person's head. Because you don't know what's going on inside?
One man replied that when he was unloading feed, he accidentally touched the horse's butt. He was brought to the ground and the carriage wheel ran over his head.
The carriage wheels of the infrastructure company are not made of rubber. They are wooden wheels covered with a layer of steel plates. It seems that this is how he got the groove on his head.
Ye Wancheng lay on the ground and shouted softly. "Lao Yu, Lao Yu! Can you hear me?"
Yu Laogui's Adam's apple moved, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Ye Wancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was still reacting.
"Here, pour some water!"
Ye Wancheng ordered Xiao Liu behind him.
Xiao Liu took his teapot, filled it with half a glass of water and handed it to Ye Wancheng.
Ye Wancheng brought the teapot close to Laogui's mouth and slowly filled it with a little water.
Yu Laogui's chapped lips felt the water. He opened them slightly and drank.
Ye Wancheng fed him another mouthful and handed the teapot back to Xiao Liu.
Injured people should not drink large amounts of water. This is common sense.
"Lao Yu, how are you feeling?"
Ye Wancheng lay next to his ear and asked softly.
Yu Laogui finally made a sound this time. He just slowly raised his right hand before speaking.
"...Long live! Treasure Island is liberated!"
It was very difficult for him to raise his hand. In the end, it fell down without straightening it.
But everyone heard the weak voice. Many people's eyes began to get wet.
Ye Wancheng nodded with tears in his eyes. "Well, Treasure Island has been liberated!"
Yu Laogui showed a smile on his face and said softly:
"I have saved 10,000 yuan, and the country is poor. Consider it my party dues! Give it to the company party branch for me!"
Ye Wancheng is the instructor now. This matter naturally falls under his control.
His eyes searched the crowd and saw Yu Laogui's wife walking over.
His wife obviously heard what the man said and nodded towards Ye Wancheng.
"The money is at home! I'm going to get it now!"
Ye Wancheng waved his hand to stop his wife. Then he softly said to Lao Gui:
"Okay, I understand this. But we'll talk about it later. Treatment is more important now. I'll send a car to take you to the regiment hospital right away!"
Yu Laogui shook his head, as if he didn't agree. But this time Ye Wancheng didn't say anything else to him. He called for a tractor and asked people to carry the stretcher to the car. He also followed.
The tractor walked away with a "chunk!" puffing out black smoke.
He didn't even bring Yu Laogui's wife with him.
At that time, hospitals did not yet have the habit of refusing to provide treatment without money and the signature of family members, as was the case in later generations.
Just like Ye Wancheng, when he came back, he also insisted on the concept that doctors are to save lives and heal the wounded.
The deputy instructor was still treating patients at the regiment headquarters. Ye Wancheng followed the tractor again.
There are only three people left in the company headquarters: Deputy Company Commander Ma Quanyi and Division Chief.
Ma Quanyi looked at the deputy company commander. "How do you think he saved these ten thousand yuan?"
The deputy company commander shook his head. He couldn't figure it out. Their combined salary was only one hundred yuan. They also had four children.
Yu Laogui was one of the first batch of soldiers of the Corps. He surrendered to the Second Army, so he has been with the Corps all his life.
Calculated this way, it will take seventeen years.
The key point is that in those early years, the wages in the Corps were not so high!
Especially in the early days of the founding of the Corps, there were so many enterprises building in Shihezi that the state had no money to allocate.
Those companies are all money squeezed out of the teeth by soldiers!
A full calculation will give Yu Laogui ten years of time to save money.
One thousand and twelve a year is only twelve thousand in ten years. Doesn’t he eat or drink?
At this time, the chief secretary said, "Every time I bring him flour and non-staple food, he doesn't even ask for it!"
"Then what do they eat?"
The deputy company commander couldn't help but ask.
Even the flour and non-staple food are not provided free of charge. They have to be deducted from the salary. But if you don’t want this, what will you eat?
The chief of staff sighed. "It should be feed!"
The three of them were silent. They were all veterans. They had experienced all kinds of hardships. They had tried food that was worse than feed.
But saving money like this just to pay party dues. Ask yourself that they can't do it!
The door was pushed open, and Yu Laogui's wife opened the door and walked in. She was carrying a dough bag on her shoulder.
"Company commander, this is Yu Laogui's party dues. Please check it and collect it!"
The three of them, Ma Quanyi, exchanged glances. Then they declined:
"You should take the money back first. Wait until Comrade Lao Yu's injury stabilizes!"
But Yu Laogui's wife shook her head: "That won't work. What Laogui said must count! You guys should take stock quickly, I have to go back to feed the pigs!"
The chief secretary couldn't help but ask. "Sister-in-law, if Lao Yu's injury cannot be controlled and you pay all the money for party dues, what will you and your children do?"
Yu Laogui's wife smiled. "There are regiments and companies! How many of our mothers can be left hungry?"
Yu Laogui's wife left. He looked at the dough bag placed on the desk. None of the three people opened it to take inventory.
Please collect, recommend, vote and invest.
In fact, this thing is true. There will definitely be many people who don’t believe it. I won’t explain it much, because every generation has its own pursuits and feelings. They can just understand it themselves! Please vote.
