Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 236 Luo Chengxin Picks Up Someone

After that day, Jiang Yu and Yi Chi met less and less often.

Jiang Yu was busy storing food for the winter, and Yi Chi was often not seen. I wonder what he was busy with. Maybe he went to the base? Jiang Yu guessed.

The iron sheets that had been stockpiled before were melted and reorganized by Jiang Yu, and turned into a square iron bucket with two small round openings. She had never seen a blacksmith's furnace, so she made one out of thin air. She didn't know if it would be useful or not, so she would try burning charcoal when winter came. Even if it didn't work, it didn't matter, she could just melt it and use it for other things.

As a result, she had to collect more firewood. Whether it was for heating the kang or for forging iron, a lot of firewood was needed.

That day, when she was dragging firewood as tall as a person down the mountain, she saw a tall man walking on the road from afar. He looked a little familiar.

When they got closer, they saw that it was Luo Xinci's eldest brother. What was he doing here? Was he going to take them home?

Yuan Jiaojiao's little heart finally settled down. She had been living in the brigade in fear all day long, and she had become thinner.

It was the time to plant winter vegetables recently, and most people were out picking up mountain products in the mountains, so there weren't many people in the brigade. But there were many people in the educated youth camp, and after a busy autumn, they were ready to take a few days off and relax.

Jiang Yu and Luo Chengxin walked into the educated youth site one after the other.

Luo Xinci, who was drying clothes in the courtyard, turned around and saw Luo Chengxin behind Jiang Yu. She screamed, "Ah! Brother! Brother, you're here!"

Yuan Jiaojiao ran out of the room immediately.

Jiang Yu immediately dragged the firewood to make room for them.

Then Chen Jinghan came out. He was making pear soup for Xue Li in the room.

Jiang Yu stretched his shoulders twice, listened to the chatter of the brother and sister couple over there, and prepared to sort out the firewood.

"Get married? Oh my God! Sister Jiaojiao!!!" Luo Xinci suddenly shouted in surprise.

Yuan Jiaojiao quickly covered her mouth, "Keep your voice down, ancestor!" She seemed calm, but her face was flushed and her fingers were shaking.

Luo Chengxin looked at her with a firm and gentle gaze, "Jiaojiao, before I came here, I went to see grandpa and told him about the arrangements at home."

When Yuan Jiaojiao heard him mention her grandfather, her eyes reddened, "Is Grandpa okay?"

"Fortunately, grandpa said that he does farm work every day and his body is stronger than before." Luo Chengxin nodded quickly.

"That's good." Yuan Jiaojiao felt more at ease. She sniffed and said to him, "When are we leaving?"

"I have booked train tickets for tomorrow. You two can apply for home visit leave from the brigade first. The third brother's certificate has been approved, so he can go directly. Wait for Xinci's job to be finalized and come back to transfer her household registration. As for Jiaojiao, her household registration will definitely move with me at that time." Luo Chengxin took out an envelope from his pocket, which contained the certificate of sick leave for Luo Chengli.

"I won't leave!" Luo Chengli suddenly stumbled out and shouted at Luo Chengxin.

"So many days have passed, why haven't you controlled the water in your brain yet?" Luo Chengxin certainly knew that his brother didn't want to leave. When Luo's mother saw the letter, she cursed loudly, and the whole residential area heard the noise. Everyone nearby knew that the Luo family had a son who lost his soul in the countryside and was unwilling to even return to the city.

"Brother, I won't leave. I can't leave!" Li Fenfang, that ruthless woman, if I leave, won't I suffer all this in vain? No! I can't let her get away with it like this!

"You've been acting crazy all day long. Go back to your room." Luo Chengxin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and took the two girls out to the brigade headquarters.

There are still a lot of things to do today. Luo Chengli's compensation must be returned, and the two girls have to pack up their things after taking leave. They don't have time to listen to Luo Chengli's madness.

Luo Chengli stood there, watching them leave without looking back and completely ignoring his thoughts. He suddenly exploded. He pushed the clothes rack down, then limped back to the room and slammed the door.

Jiang Yu and Xue Li blinked and looked at Luo Xinci who ran back after hearing the noise.

Luo Xinci screamed and stamped her feet in anger. She chased into Luo Chengli's room and threw all his things on the ground. "You're crazy, Luo Chengli, you're crazy!! Who told you to push the clothes rack! I just washed my clothes!!" They were leaving tomorrow and she didn't know if they could be dried today. Yet he was looking for things to waste time. Luo Xinci's tears fell in an instant.

Luo Chengli, who was about to lose his temper, saw her crying and suddenly became silent. He sat on the kang in a daze, not saying a word.

Luo Chengxin and Yuan Jiaojiao walked in and took a look, then sighed, thinking that this younger brother was really useless.

Yuan Jiaojiao walked forward and put her arm around Luo Xinci's shoulders, "Don't cry, let's hang the clothes like this for now. If they get dirty, we can take them out and wash them when we get back. Don't cry." She patted her back to comfort her.

Luo Xinci quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Well, let's go, let's put up the clothes drying rack and ask for leave."

Luo Chengxin looked at his silent brother and sighed. Is it really okay for him to go back? But what's the point of him staying?

No one understood, especially the educated youth in the front yard. When they heard that Luo Chengli in the back yard was able to apply for retirement due to illness, they were very envious, even though his injuries were indeed very serious.

But who among the educated youth of those days didn’t want to go back to the city? No, everyone wanted to, but the person involved actually said he wanted to stay? ?

"Isn't it possible that he hit his head last time?!" Fang Qianqian found it unbelievable.

Others expressed their agreement, otherwise why would someone say such crazy things?

And Li Fenfang, for some reason, felt inexplicably proud and excited. Because there was a man who was seriously injured in order to protect her, and chose to give up returning to the city for her sake. Isn't this something to be proud of?

She hid in the room and was gloating to herself. If she told Zhang Laoer about this, would he feel a sense of crisis?

Luo Chengli would probably never have thought that his action actually helped Li Fenfang. If he knew, he would still do the same. After all, he had injured his head when he was a child and had a mental disorder.

As for Luo Chengxin, after he entered the room, he took the initiative to greet the captain Zhuang Shouren, "Hello, Captain Zhuang, right? I am the elder brother of Luo Xinci and Luo Chengli, Luo Chengxin, you can just call me Xiao Luo."

"Come on, come on, sit down first and talk slowly." Zhuang Shouren also had a kind attitude and quickly asked them to sit down. However, there were no extra cups and bowls in the brigade office, so he couldn't pour them a glass of water or anything. He could only smile and sit down with them.

"Captain, I'm a bit pressed for time, so I'll make it short. The reason I came here today is mainly because of my brother's injury. You know his condition. He has been given medical leave, and his family is also planning to find another doctor to see him. They are all very anxious, so we have to go back on the train tomorrow afternoon. So, what do you think of my brother's compensation?"
