Chapter 6: The Bends of the Road (8) (3)

On the one hand, the project funds have reached the point of exhaustion. The little money raised in the village had long since run out. The county transportation bureau allocated 10,000 yuan, which has also been spent. Now, there is not even a penny left for the purchase of detonator explosives. On the other hand, because the sour apricot was blown up and his leg was broken, rumors spread in the village. Legend has it that the construction of the road blocked the pulse of the ancestral forest and disturbed the peace of the underground ancestors, so this incident was made. If I continue to do this, I'm afraid I'll die. Many villagers are weak and timid, and they are really afraid that they will cause a bigger incident and spread it on their own families. As a result, the enthusiasm for going to work has been greatly frustrated. The villagers are worried all day long, the progress of the project is not as good as before, and there are many people who grind foreign workers. On the other hand, after a winter of hard work, the physical expenditure of the villagers has almost reached the limit, and there is really not much strength to continue the construction. Moreover, the beginning of spring is imminent, and it is also urgent to transport fertilizer and materials to the fields to repair the land and protect moisture. The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the quality of the harvest of the year all refers to relying on this stubble farm work, and no one dares to delay it in the slightest.

At the scene of the accident, Sour Apricot told Shiki to stop for a while. He looked around at the section of the road that had taken away his right leg and sighed. He never spoke, but his eyes revealed a complicated matter that had been suppressed for a long time. He waved his hand and let Shiki continue on his way. Until he entered the courtyard, which he had not entered for more than a month, he still did not say a word.

The sour apricot woman saw that the man she hadn't seen for more than a month was dragged into the house with a leg in tow, and she immediately cried. The tears on his face provoked the people who accompanied him to tears. Sour apricot opened his mouth and said, what are you crying, isn't this a good return. It's all people of this age, and those with more legs and fewer legs are not in the way. Saying that, everyone hurriedly stopped their tears and changed their faces, went to comfort the sour apricot woman together, and settled down on the hot clay kang in the pot house.

When the villagers knew that the sour apricot had returned, they rushed to visit. Some people also bring their own local products, such as rice, noodles, chickens, eggs, etc. No sour apricots. He instructed his family to remember who sent the things, and then send them back.

While he was making a fuss, Mao Sheng stumbled through the door, holding a fine cane that he had specially made overnight. In the years before Ye'er married Yao Jinfang to Sour Apricot's accident, he had never reached the threshold of Sour Xing's family. After Sour Xing's accident, he couldn't go to the hospital, so he ran to Sour Xing's house every now and then, rushing to do it here and there. Together with the four seasons, all the rough work and heavy work of the sour apricot and the National Day family are all taken over. According to their words, the National Day and the people are serving in the hospital, so don't distract them, this little thing is nothing.

Mao Sheng grabbed the sour apricot's hand and was speechless for a while. Tears rolled down his eyes, almost rolling down. He is genuine, and there is not the slightest hint of falsehood in it. Imagine, if there is no sour apricot to throw himself up, the amputation or even death is the xylophone. Sour Xing is exchanging his life for the life of the xylophone. This kind of life-saving kindness, Maosheng is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay.

Mao Sheng sighed for a long time and said, Uncle, you use this crutch first. When we have money, we will go to Nanjing and get a prosthetic. I've seen people walk as easily as good legs.

Sour Xing smiled and said, Okay, when you're in a hurry, I'll go to Nanjing with you, and by the way, I will see the big field and have a long experience.

Since then, the sorrow and suffering of Sour Apricot a few months ago have been swept away. The stiff relationship that had been frozen for a long time was solved with his unexpected disaster. The long-lost atmosphere of neighborhood harmony has returned to the side of Sour Apricot. He thought to himself, is this a good thing or a bad thing, maybe a good thing. If everything is as you wish, it's worth losing a leg. [End of Chapter]
