Chapter 106 Hospitalization
"What's going on with your supply and marketing cooperative? We've been waiting in line for so long, but we're still out of tofu and bean sprouts?"
"There are no tofu and bean sprouts, why didn't you say anything yesterday!?"
"And you haven't changed the blackboard! Call President Zhang out. What's going on every day!?"
Customers queuing up to buy groceries at the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative started making a fuss.
On weekdays, I queue up after 7 o'clock and wait for the door to open to buy tofu and bean sprouts. However, today the supply and marketing cooperative opened and there was nothing.
Chen Yan was busy trying to comfort everyone, but her voice was too soft and was buried.
Zhang Jun looked gloating outside the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative. He winked at Jiang Meng and left.
Jiang Meng hurriedly called out Zhang Dongfeng, "Everyone is making trouble, what should we do about President Zhang?"
Okay, Su Qingyue's processing factory has been working steadily recently, so why did it suddenly stop delivering tofu?
Zhang Dongfeng walked to the hall and dealt with the noisy crowd.
"Don't worry, everyone, we are also waiting for news."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Jianming and several tofu-making team leaders appeared, each carrying a basket of tofu on their backs and bean sprouts in their hands.
"President Zhang, I'm sorry. There was a mudslide on the road from our village to the county seat. The road is being repaired. Now even oxcarts can't pass. Today's tofu has to be delivered on our backs."
Apologize loudly to Jianming.
When the customers who caused the trouble heard the whole story, they turned off their lights one after another.
"It turns out that the road is broken, which is understandable."
"Everyone's clothes are soaked with sweat. It's not easy to carry them all the way."
Zhang Dongfeng took the opportunity to discuss, "Today's tofu and bean sprouts were carried by more than a dozen people. Don't grab them. Each person buys one or two kilograms to leave some for the people behind."
"The sale of tofu and bean sprouts will be suspended starting tomorrow. We will notify everyone when the road is repaired!"
Most people were reasonable. Seeing that every villager at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative was so tired that their backs were arched, they all agreed to Zhang Dongfeng's arrangement.
Chen Yan immediately wrote the notice on the small blackboard and asked the salesperson to notify the customer when checking out.
"Captain Xiang, you've worked hard, come to the backyard and drink some water." Xiang Jianming and the others were really thirsty, so they didn't refuse.
"President Zhang, let's wait until the road is repaired before we deliver the tofu." Xiang Jianming drank water and told the road conditions before leaving.
"Su Qingyue was almost hit by a stone, but Pei Huaiye blocked it. The two of them are still in the hospital. We have to go and take a look."
"Then you go quickly!"
Xiang Jianming added, "I will look for ox carts for you in the city these two days. When the access roads are repaired, we can use ox carts to transport them first."
"Thank you, President Zhang!" Su Qingwu and Li Zilan thanked them and went to the county health center.
Su Qingyue woke up in the hospital bed.
Pei Huaiye's eyes were scarlet, his beard was unkempt, and his voice was extremely hoarse, "Are you awake? Are you still dizzy?"
Su Qingyue slowly shook her head, raised her hand and touched the gauze on Pei Huaiye's forehead and asked, "How are you?"
Pei Huaiye grabbed Su Qingyue's white and tender little hand, with a look of false alarm in his eyes, "I'm fine, don't worry. You fainted from fatigue and fright, and you were given an IV. Do you still feel uncomfortable now?"
Su Qingyue shook her head.
Yesterday, Su Qingyue was watching the road conditions at the place where the mudslide occurred. She didn't expect a few rocks to suddenly slide down the mountain.
When Pei Huaiye saw that scene, he rushed over like a cheetah and rolled Su Qingyue on the ground. He tightly protected Su Qingyue. The person in his arms was frightened and fainted. He was hit on the forehead. hurt. After the examination, Su Qingyue and the baby in her belly were fine. It was just that she had been too tired recently and had received two bottles of nutritional injections. The doctor told her to rest carefully to prevent miscarriage.
Pei Huaiye had four stitches on his head. Fortunately, he had an amazing physique. After a night's rest, he leaned against Su Qingyue's window like a normal person, for fear that something would happen to his delicate wife.
"Drink some water, I asked Yuan Guang to buy food."
Su Qingyue moistened her voice and said, "If it wasn't raining, how could there be a landslide?"
"I asked Yuan Guang to investigate. There used to be a big groove on the hillside along that way, which accumulated a lot of water. The rocks on the mountain were broken and the land was loose, so the landslide occurred."
"Shuangqiao Commune has organized several teams to repair the road. My eldest brother, sister-in-law, and Captain Xiang have arranged for people to deliver tofu and bean sprouts."
This is what Su Qingyue is worried about, "How to deliver it? Is it possible to deliver it with a basket on your back?"
Pei Huaiye tucked Su Qingyue into bed and nodded, "Tell the captain not to damage the processing factory's reputation for honesty and trustworthiness."
There was a knock on the door of the ward, and Yuan Guang shouted outside, "Brother Pei, is it me?"
Pei Huaiye got up and went to get the food. The four aluminum lunch boxes were all filled with food. Pei Huaiye washed his hands and picked up food to feed Su Qingyue, but was rejected.
Su Qingyue greeted Yuan Guang, she sat up and said, "I'll do it myself, and you should eat quickly."
Pei Huaiye went to the corridor to talk with Yuan Guang after dinner on the second day of the third day of the fifth lunar month.
"The landslide is indeed real, but yesterday I found footprints of vandalism on the hillside."
Yuan Guang's eyes flashed coldly, "The footprints are all blurred with leaves and gravel, but you can vaguely see that they are leather shoes."
Something happened when the Qingshan team borrowed a tractor. The whole village could have a grudge against Su Qingyue and a man who could afford to wear leather shoes was in a good position.
"Boss, just give me whatever you need to do."
Pei Huaiye clenched his fists, his eyes were extremely scary, "Don't worry about this matter, I have a sense of proportion."
"Okay, the team has asked you to take sick leave, but the team leader asked you to go back to the base today."
Pei Huaiye nodded.
In the ward, Su Mingqiang came with a large family, "Girl, if you didn't tell me you were pregnant, if it hadn't been for Huaiye yesterday, how scary would you have said!"
"Dad, I know. I was thinking of telling you three months later."
Su Mingqiang scolded his daughter, while Li Zilan also scolded her. Su Qingyue looked at Pei Huaiye at the door and curled her lips in grievance.
Pei Huaiye raised his lips calmly, "Dad, sister-in-law, it's all my fault. I was the one who stopped her from telling her that she would take good care of Qingyue when I went to arrange the work."
They weren't really scolding, they were just too worried and said a few words on purpose.
Pei Huaiye opened his mouth, but Su Mingqiang shut his mouth angrily, "My head is hurt, why do I still have to go to work?"
"There's a meeting, I'll make the arrangements, and I'll come right after I take leave."
Pei Huaiye told the two of them to stay and watch Su Qingyue, and then reluctantly left.
Yuan Guang watched Brother Pei look at his wife with eyes that were almost twitching, and couldn't help but feel a chill and envy.
Recently, Brother Pei has been obsessed with family and taking care of his wife, and has changed from a frontline commander to a commander. He is so busy that he hasn't seen Dai Xiaohong for a long time.
Yuan Guang thought about secretly slipping a letter to Pei Huaiye, "Brother Pei, please help me give the letter to Dai Xiaohong when my sister-in-law is well."
Pei Huaiye accepted the letter with a half-smile, "Come on, I'm waiting for you to write the wedding report."
