784 If the tree is removed, it will die, but if the person is removed, it will live!
"This is the seat belt."
Yang Xiaotao pulled the other end of the rope and said to Huang Degong. At this time, many people around him were curious and asked, and Yang Xiaotao explained to everyone.
I just heard that this thing was for car drivers, so many people gave up their interest and just regarded it as a fun thing.
"Here, take it."
Yang Xiaotao didn't care about everyone's senses. He handed the retractor to Huang Degong and asked him to tighten it. Then he slowly twitched the rope, and the distance continued to lengthen.
The next second, before Huang Degong could react, Yang Xiaotao exerted force, but this time the rope was stuck and could not be pulled out. Instead, Huang Degong was dragged down. Yang Xiaotao quickly helped, "What's going on? It's stuck."
."
Huang Degong looked at the tight rope, touched his wrist, and kept sighing, "So this is a safety belt?"
"right!"
"This is a life-saving thing."
"Just hold on to a rope to save your life?"
Huang Degong felt that Yang Xiaotao's ideas were too advanced and he couldn't understand them.
…
Siheyuan, outside the alley.
Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang walked back one behind the other.
This afternoon, Qin Huairu left Xiaodang and Sophora japonica in the care of her aunt, and went with Jia Zhang to the labor camp on the outskirts of the city to visit Banggen.
These days, the Jia family is lifeless. Qin Huairu thinks about it day and night, not thinking about food or tea, and her whole body is emaciated.
But now that I have lost weight, my whole body has become slimmer and more attractive.
In comparison, Mrs. Jia Zhang has not changed much, but her head hurts so much that she has to hum for a long time every night before she can fall asleep.
Today I finally found time to go see Banggeng. In the morning, Qin Huairu made several steamed buns and bought some hard-boiled eggs, which she brought with her to Banggeng.
When they arrived at the place and saw Banggeng, both of them were shocked.
This is different from what I look like.
Not only was Bangge not abused here, nor was he similarly slovenly, he seemed to be living a good life.
Wearing the clothes of a labor camp, although the words on it are ugly, they are clean clothes.
We live in a Datongbu, covered with quilts, and the food is not bad. We have steamed buns for every meal, and we can eat a piece of meat every week. This is better than what we eat at home.
More importantly, Bangge said he made many friends here, and he also recognized a big brother who often took care of him and no one dared to bully him.
Although I have to work hard during the day and read and educate myself at night, I have less freedom than at home, but I am not cold or hungry, so it is much better than at home.
When Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang heard what Bangge said, their impression of labor reform in their minds was completely overturned.
Especially Jia Zhang, she was once arrested by the sub-district office and sent to work. She brought her own dry food and was able to do it rain or shine. How could she be like this?
It's such a good thing that she wants to live in it for retirement.
When the two came to the corner of the alley, Qin Huairu suddenly stopped walking. The gloominess on his face these days disappeared, and instead there was a slight smile.
"Mom, what do you think?"
"What, what is it like?"
Jia Zhang was stunned and couldn't figure out what Qin Huairu meant.
Qin Huairu came closer and whispered, "Don't you think it would be nice to have Banggeng there?"
"Look, we don't have to spend money there, we don't have to pay for food, and we don't have to take care of housing. We have more meat to eat, and we can also study, participate in activities and make friends. Don't you think this is better than going to school or being in a hospital?
Are you getting better at hanging around here?"
"This is the state helping us to discipline us. If this person grows up, he will definitely be a useful person to the state. Will he be able to be bad at me in the future?"
"Do you think so?"
Qin Huairu said, and Jia Zhang's eyes became brighter and brighter the more she listened, "Huairu, don't tell me, if you move the tree to death, the people will live. This is really a good place."
"The five members of our family don't have enough to eat originally. Now that this stick has a place to go, our family can also save food rations."
Mrs. Jia Zhang counted on her fingers, "In this way, we two can earn seven or eight yuan a month, and we can eat meat every month."
Qin Huairu squinted her eyes with a slight smile on her face.
"Unexpectedly, this time it was a blessing in disguise."
"Ha ha"
Mrs. Jia Zhang also laughed, "No, no, who would have thought that there is such a good place. Do you think that if the people in this courtyard find out, they will regret it to death? Haha!!!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang couldn't stop laughing, but Qin Huairu looked around and whispered after finding no one, "We can't let the people in the hospital know about this. The diseases they are jealous of will definitely not bring good to our family."
"That's right, be calm and don't let those bastards see it."
Mrs. Jia Zhang quickly calmed down her expression. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and then walked towards the courtyard.
"Huairu, do you think this is what happens in labor camps?"
Suddenly Mrs. Jia Zhang asked, and she really wanted to go in.
"Mom, don't think about it anymore. Take a look at the old man, look at the idiot Xu Damao, which one is the same as the stick figure?"
"That's for children, you~~"
After hearing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang quickly shut up. This is not an easy job.
She did it!
The two of them walked quickly back to the courtyard. Before they entered the door, they heard a rumble from the entrance of the alley, and they looked back.
I saw a jeep driving in slowly, not very fast. Fortunately, the alley was more than eight meters wide, so it was easy to drive a small jeep.
As the car approached, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood at the door in a daze, because they could clearly see through the glass that it was Yang Xiaotao inside the car.
Qin Huairu felt extremely uncomfortable. Then why was Yang Xiaotao the driver?
Jia Zhang opened her triangular eyes and tried to open them wide to confirm that she was wrong and that the person was not Yang Xiaotao.
Yan Fugui in the front yard is busy cleaning up the yard. After New Year's Day, the house has been busy. In the new year, some dilapidated things should be repaired. If they are really useless, go shopping and replace them with old ones.
Hearing the sound of a car coming from outside the yard, Yan Fugui quickly ran out to see what was going on.
After all, the people driving these days are all high-ranking officials, not even Director Wang from the subdistrict office.
When I ran to the door, I saw the car parked next to the stone lion. Then I saw Yang Xiaotao getting out of the driver's seat, taking his backpack from the back seat, locking the door, and walking towards the courtyard gate.
Yan Fugui was stunned on the spot.
Yang Xiaotao, drove back?
If the car is parked here, doesn't that mean it belongs to him?
Yan Fugui rubbed the back of his head and felt that his brain could no longer keep up with Yang Xiaotao's progress.
But the other party is the deputy director of the factory, so it's not a big deal to drive. It's just that he has reached this stage at such a young age. I really envy him.
At the door, Yang Xiaotao watched Yan Fugui running out, and Jia Zhang and Jia Qin standing at the door. Without saying anything, they walked towards the middle courtyard with their backpacks.
At this time, people outside the alley came back one after another. They saw the jeep and looked at it, asking where it came from.
As you know, the workers in the steel rolling mill proudly said that it belonged to Yang Xiaotao, the director of their courtyard, Yang Xiaotao, which aroused a burst of envy from the surrounding courtyards.
There is such a talented person like Yang Xiaotao in the courtyard, and the neighbors nearby are all proud of him.
Some children after school even ran back and forth around the jeep, feeling very unhappy.
The little excitement Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu had just had was completely wiped out by the jeep driven by Yang Xiaotao. Now they feel heartbroken even if they look at the jeep again.
Jia Zhang did not dare to have bad ideas. If this car had an accident here, it would be the property of the steel rolling mill and the country. If it was found out, it would definitely be a big deal.
The two of them came straight back to the middle courtyard and took Xiaodang Huaihua home.
When Yang Xiaotao returned home, Ran Qiuye was not only happy but also a little worried when he heard about the jeep.
"Don't worry, I know what's appropriate. Anyway, the fuel consumption is accounted for every month. If you don't exceed the quota, you'll be fine."
Yang Xiaotao was relieved. Ran Hongbing and Ran Xinrui on the other side heard that their brother-in-law was coming back in a jeep, so they wanted Yang Xiaotao to take them out for a ride. Of course, this suggestion attracted ruthless suppression from Ran Qiuye.
Isn’t it uncomfortable to go for a ride at this time?
The two children had no choice but to run out and help their brother-in-law look after the car.
"By the way, wife, there's something you can help me with."
Yang Xiaotao took out the seat belt from his backpack.
The original rope didn't fit.
"This is a seat belt I made. As long as it is installed in the car, it can protect people's safety in the event of a collision."
Yang Xiaotao explained, then picked up the rope and demonstrated.
Ran Qiuye looked at the seat belt that was fine when he slowly pulled it, but would get stuck if he pulled hard, and he immediately understood what was going on.
"How to do?"
"The belt should be stronger and not too narrow, which could easily strangle the body, so it is best to use a wider belt to increase the stress-bearing area and reduce compression."
Yang Xiaotao made two gestures, and Ran Qiuye understood what was going on. He walked to the back room to find some rags, then turned on the sewing machine and started running.
In order to increase the intensity, Ran Qiuye ran a few more laps. Although it was much worse than that of later generations, in this age of needles and threads, making such a strip of cloth was still a luxury.
…
Suburban Steel Rolling Mill Branch No.1.
After get off work, there is no one around, and the withered yellow weeds are the same color as the earth.
"Oh, Silly Zhu, you bastard, if you don't stop, I will never be done with you."
Xu Damao was lying on the ground, his whole body was weak, his head was pressed by a slap, and someone sat down on his stomach, making him unable to move.
Even though his body couldn't move, his mouth was still arrogant and refused to admit defeat.
"Hey, Shamao, aren't you awesome?"
"You're not convinced, are you? You're still not done with me. How dare you, a coward like you, say this?"
Silly Zhu said disdainfully, looking proud.
Although we are doing labor camps here, the situation is not the same as in the steel rolling mill.
The factory in charge here is too lazy to take care of them, so no one blames them for spending three days sifting and two days fishing.
Life is much more comfortable than in the steel rolling mill.
Moreover, this branch factory is close to the countryside, and nearby farmers come directly to collect manure, so there is no need for them.
So except for the work and living environment that have become bad, these ugly things are still okay.
However, every time he saw Xu Damao wandering in front of him, he would taunt him from time to time.
He has a wife and children at home, and what will happen to him in the future will make him angry.
Isn't she just a daughter-in-law? It's not like I haven't tasted it before.
As for the child, that is just to fool people. So Xu Damao is stupid and doesn’t know anything about his body, but he still wants to have a child?
It's just a dream.
"Silly Zhu, don't be so arrogant."
Xu Damao was even more angry when Silly Zhu said this. What's wrong with him? It was a strategic retreat and he would not suffer any loss.
But being cowardly doesn't mean that you dare not speak. What's more, he has Xu Damao standing behind him, which is his confidence.
"I tell you, be nice to me now, and my son will be more polite to you when he grows up, otherwise~~~"
Snapped
Before Xu Damao could finish speaking, Shazhu angrily raised his arm and slapped him.
For a moment, Xu Damao groaned in humiliation.
"You, you still want to have a son? Are you worthy of a son?"
Silly Zhu was upset and hit him several times in succession, which made Xu Damao scream even more miserably.
"He's just a loser. He was fooled and didn't even know he was cheated. Idiot, loser, bullshit."
Silly Zhu punched him one after another, Xu Damao protected his face, his head was in a mess.
What do you mean? Cheated?
What does Stupid Pillar mean?
"Silly Zhu, you bitch, tell me clearly. How could I be deceived?"
Xu Damao suddenly raised his hand to block Sha Zhu's fist, and stared at Sha Zhu angrily with his eyes.
Silly Zhu was stunned by Xu Damao's counterattack, and then thought about it, there were some things he couldn't say.
Having said that, the fish is dead and the net is broken.
boom
His fist fell on Xu Damao's cheek.
"I can say whatever I want!"
"A grandson like you, a villain who has done all kinds of bad things, still deserves a child? Bah!"
"You're still giving birth to a son. Even if you give birth to a son, it's still a thing without an asshole!"
Silly Zhu said bitterly, then stood up and left.
He was afraid that if he couldn't bear it any longer, he would spill the beans.
Xu Damao rubbed his cheek, slowly stood up and looked at Silly Zhu.
"You are just fucking jealous, yes, you must be jealous."
"I already have a son, just wait, you are a fucking loser, you will die!"
