There is a mountain in her arms
Chapter 15 Going to the County
Although Jiang Yicheng did not come to school, both Teacher Zhang and Teacher Xiao Yang showed great enthusiasm towards her.
Because there are not many teachers in the school now, most of them are responsible for several classes. If nothing unexpected happens, both of them will be her nominal teachers for several years.
If she continues to be so outstanding in the future, they will be proud to tell others about it!
Jiang Yicheng felt relieved. Grandpa Jiang was smiling the whole time and was friendly to everyone. When Jiang Weitong went to call the two children, he kept smiling.
"Grandpa, you've come back to your senses. Isn't your face stiff?"
"Haha, a little bit. You really make grandpa proud!"
"I will make you proud in the future!"
"Okay, I'll wait."
"Ahhh! Chengcheng, is what your uncle said true?" Jiang Ziqing ignored his usual reserve and rushed over to hug her, feeling a little excited.
"If you're talking about not going to school, it's true."
"Ah! Brother, did you hear that? Chengcheng is so amazing. How come you are so awesome? It makes me feel so stressed. My grandparents might nag me again. Oh!"
Looking at the changes in his cousin, Jiang Yichen held her little face in his hands.
"Cousin, you are also great, you have your own strengths. Everyone is an independent individual, how can everyone be the same? I have heard my great grandfather praise you many times."
"Really? Grandpa praised me?"
"More real than pearls. My grandfather can prove it."
"Yes! Your grandfather has praised you many times for being well-behaved, sensible and polite. You are much better than most children in the village."
Grandpa Jiang affirmed with a smile, and Jiang Zi was very happy with a big smile on his face.
Jiang Zitao was silent for a while, and Jiang Weitong touched his head.
"There are always people who are better than you. You are actually a good person, so don't get stuck in a rut."
"Uncle, I won't. I will just work harder."
"That's right. Let's go home."
"Go home!"
The group went home happily. Grandpa Jiang told the two children not to spread the news and just let it go. Jiang Yicheng also bribed them with a White Rabbit candy before going home hand in hand with Grandpa.
"Is it settled?"
"That's it."
Grandma Jiang was also worried about An An at home today. After a while, she stood at the gate of the yard holding An An and looked out.
Grandpa Jiang also shared what happened with her.
"Oh! My granddaughter is so great. What do you want to eat today? Grandma will make it for you."
“Sour fish!”
Jiang Yichen actually likes eating fish very much, but there are too many fish bones and she sometimes gets impatient.
"Okay, and steam some rice."
Grandma Jiang discovered that her granddaughter was a bit picky about food. When she first came, she always ate very little of coarse grains such as steamed bread and sorghum rice, which were hard on the throat. But she would eat more of fine grains such as buckwheat noodles and rice.
For fear of starving her, she mostly used fine grains when cooking, and only cooked coarse grains when there were visitors at home.
They have been eating fine food for the past two months and their health is much better than before.
I was thinking about reclaiming some wasteland in the space to grow fine crops, otherwise there would be a day when all the food would be gone.
After having a sumptuous lunch, Grandma Jiang coaxed An An to take a nap.
Jiang Zicheng never had the habit of taking a nap before. He was bored now, so he flipped through the fourth-grade textbook in his hand.
This set of books was distributed by the dean in the morning, and was given to her in advance because she was not going to school.
"Grandpa, I want to find some extracurricular books. Is there any way to find them?"
"With the situation outside so tense right now, I'm afraid these won't be easy to find. I'll think of another way."
"I should probably prepare some more paper and pen so I can take notes when I study at night."
"Well, I'll take you to town to buy it tomorrow."
"Grandpa, why don't we go to the county tomorrow? We can also clear out some more fruits here."
"Then I'll ask your uncle tonight to get two letters of introduction. I just happen to have something to discuss with your great grandfather."
In the afternoon, Jiang Zicheng secretly went to the cowshed to ask Chi Yuan what she had to bring, as she was going to the county. Chi Yuan summarized and gave her a list, along with a hundred yuan.
"Why are there so many medicines? Is anyone sick?"
"We're about to start work. They all have some leg and foot problems, so we need to buy some medicine to prevent them. But we don't have a prescription, so I'm afraid it'll be hard to buy."
"I'll think of a way."
In the evening, Jiang Yichen told his grandfather about this, and they decided to act accordingly.
The next day they took the village ox cart to the town, and then took a bus from the station to the county.
The station was not big at that time, with only a few buses going back and forth. The buses were crowded and the air was quite bad.
Jiang Yichen endured the unpleasant smell and vomited as soon as he got out of the car, which scared Grandpa Jiang.
"Come on, rinse your mouth."
Grandpa Jiang handed her the kettle and helped her tidy up her flying hair.
"Grandpa, let's go to the hospital entrance first! There are a lot of people coming and going in the hospital, there should be a lot of rich people, we can also ask about buying medicine."
"Well, it's up to you."
Jiang Yichen rested for a while, and only left with his grandfather after the nausea in his heart disappeared.
Compared with later generations, the county hospital was not very big, but it was enviable to be able to work here in that era.
The two men observed for a long time at the corner not far from the hospital entrance but didn't find any opportunity, so Grandpa Jiang wanted to retreat.
Ordinary farmers like them have a kind of awe towards hospitals. If Grandpa Jiang hadn't wanted to ask about medicine, he wouldn't have agreed to come.
"Robbery! Catch the thief!"
Suddenly, before a middle-aged woman reached the hospital entrance, a gangster suddenly snatched her bag from behind.
She chased while screaming, and passers-by stopped but did not dare to go up to help.
Seeing that the thief was about to pass by them, Jiang Yichen deliberately stretched out her foot.
The thief couldn't stop himself and stumbled. Jiang Yichen seized the opportunity to grab one of his arms and pushed him to the ground with a counter-attack.
"Grandpa, help me!"
After all, Jiang Yichen's strength was no match for an adult, so Grandpa Jiang reacted and held down his other arm as well.
"You little bitch, let me go."
"Behave yourself! Can someone please call the police? They dared to rob in broad daylight. They should be locked up and taught a lesson."
"I go!"
An indignant young man in the crowd ran away in an instant. Usually there is a public security bureau near the hospital, so Jiang Yicheng said this.
"My, my bag!"
At this time, the middle-aged woman came over panting, and it seemed that her foot was also sprained.
"Auntie, your bag! You'd better check if anything is missing."
"Thank you! Not less, they are all still here. Thank you so much."
"It's okay. We just happened to catch up. Sister, we have asked someone to report to the police. I'm afraid we will have to explain the situation later."
"It's my duty. You little brat, you are so young and yet you dare to steal something from an old man. You really have no conscience."
The middle-aged woman was very angry and hit him on the head twice with her bag without any hesitation.
"Ouch! Let me go, or I'll make you pay."
"If you're still stubborn now, I'll put you in jail for life. You've failed! Look at how you threaten others!"
This middle-aged woman was also a tough person. When she said something and slapped him on the head, Jiang Yichen felt the pain for him.
"Don't hit me anymore. I won't dare to do it again next time."
"The police are here, the police are here, everyone make way." The young man was quite reliable as he called the police so quickly.
"Li Xiaohu! Why is it you again? It's only been a short time since we were released, and you're already itching to do it again?"
"Luo Heng!"
"Aunt, why are you here? Why did you sprain your ankle?"
"It was him who stole my bag. These two are my benefactors. If they hadn't reacted quickly, I don't know what would have happened to my old bones."
"Li Xiaohu, you've only been locked up for three months. Why don't you learn your lesson after you're released? It looks like you'll be locked up for a longer period of time this time."
"Captain Luo, I didn't mean it. Look, I'm injured. Can you please let me go this time?"
"How can that be? Where are you hurt? The skin is not even broken, and my foot is sprained because of you? Who should I ask for compensation? You?"
"I have no money!"
"If you don't have money, shut up! Who did I offend? Why am I so unhappy?"
The people around also spoke out for justice. The two police officers brought by Luo Heng simply took a statement at the scene and took Li Xiaohu away.
"Aunt, let me carry you to the hospital to see your foot injury! Are your cousins working in the hospital today?"
"They are all here! Go ahead and do your work. It's only a few steps away. I'll just walk over slowly."
When Jiang Yichen heard that he was going to work in the hospital, his eyes rolled and he immediately walked forward with a smile.
"Uncle Public Security, why don't we help you take your aunt over? My grandfather and I are not busy."
"Yes, yes, I haven't thanked you yet, so don't leave yet."
"Thank you for saving my aunt. My name is Luo Heng, and I'm the captain of the Public Security Bureau. If you encounter any problems that do not violate discipline in the future, you can come to me."
"Ok."
"The bureau is really short-staffed right now, so my aunt will trouble you."
Luo Heng felt relieved to leave mainly because Jiang Yichen had clear eyes and was young, and Grandpa Jiang looked like a genuine farmer.
"Auntie, let me help you."
"Brother, thank you so much for helping me today. I came here to give money to my son. My daughter-in-law's fetus is a little unstable and she needs to stay in the hospital for a few days. I was so worried and I didn't expect that I would be targeted by someone."
"Big sister, your daughter-in-law will be fine, don't worry."
"Brother, what's in your backpack? Why do I seem to smell a fragrance? Why does this smell seem familiar?"
"Auntie, it's fruit. My grandfather and I want to sell fruit so that we can buy milk powder for my brother. My parents have made sacrifices, and my brother is only a few months old. Without milk, he has become very thin."
"God has mercy on you. Don't worry. I'll find a way for you."
"Will it bother you?"
"No, you are my benefactors. I will definitely find a way to get things done for you."
"My last name is Jiang, so you can call me Aunt Jiang."
"Aunt Jiang, maybe we do have some share. My last name is Jiang, and you see Jiang and Jiang sound similar."
"That's true. You help me to the nurse's station. My daughter is a nurse there."
"Aunt Jiang, your daughter is really outstanding."
"Haha! My son also works here. He's a surgeon."
"Tsk tsk! Aunt Jiang, you are so lucky. Your children all have stable jobs."
"Thank you, you are so good at talking. Auntie feels relieved when she hears you."
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiao Wang, have you seen my Ah Fang? I just twisted my ankle outside. Can you help me find her?"
"Okay, Auntie, please sit here for a while."
The ladies at the nurse station were all so pretty. Jiang Yicheng watched them rushing back and forth. Sure enough, no matter what time it was, the hospital was always the busiest.
Grandpa Jiang was a little nervous carrying the backpack, but Jiang Yicheng was very calm and even helped Grandpa take the backpack off. Aunt Jiang was a little envious of her filial piety.
"Mom, why did you sprain your ankle?"
"Oh! Don't mention it. I just had an accident at the hospital entrance."
Aunt Jiang took her daughter aside and explained the whole story, then pointed to the backpack on the ground.
Ah Fang nodded, checked her foot injury, ran to the pharmacy and bought a bottle of bone-breaking wine, and applied the medicine to her first.
"You guys come with me first!"
Afang helped her mother to a small room.
"This is our lounge. Sir, can I see what's in your backpack?"
"of course can!"
Grandpa Jiang was a little nervous around her and pulled open the cloth on the backpack.
"Mom, there are several varieties! We can buy some for my sister-in-law."
"Well, it's pretty good! I'll buy it for you too. Mom won't be partial."
"Aunt Jiang, Sister Fang is really considerate and knows how to help you maintain the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Here are some oranges for you to try. They are very sweet."
Jiang Yichen simply picked up an orange, cut it in half, and let them taste it.
"Mm! Mom, it's quite sweet. Little sister, how much do you sell these fruits for?"
The price Jiang Yicheng quoted was one cent higher than the last time in town. Grandpa Jiang raised his eyebrows but did not refute.
"Okay, I got it. Mom, you guys wait here, I'll go find my brother and take care of my sister-in-law's business and then go find someone."
"Okay! Don't tell your sister-in-law about me, lest she worry. She won't remember it now that she's in the hospital."
"I see."
Afang took Aunt Jiang's bag, put the uneaten orange in her pocket, and left the lounge.
Aunt Jiang asked her about the fruits with a smile, but she just said that her cousin who drove a truck helped bring them from somewhere else, and they were making some extra money.
How difficult the family was, how miserable her brother was! Grandpa Jiang's face twitched when he heard this. He was afraid of being seen, so he squatted by the wall with his face covered.
Who knew that this action would actually seem to confirm her words, making Aunt Jiang feel very sympathetic.
This time it took a long time. After a long time, Afang finally came with her colleagues.
Because they were all women, it was difficult for Grandpa Jiang to gather them together, so Jiang Yichen started to sell their products.
Those who can work here always have some confidence at home and are not short of money.
I just tasted the orange in Fang's hand, and it tasted really good. The apple looked big and red, the pear was so tender that you could squeeze out the juice, and the orange was plump.
People bought a lot of things in groups of three or four, and Jiang Yicheng couldn't stop smiling. Soon the basket was empty, and those who heard the news and rushed over felt a little regretful that they didn't buy anything.
"Don't panic, we still have more. Come back later, and grandpa and I will carry them."
"Then hurry up! I asked someone to come over for me in a moment."
"Okay, very soon, very soon. Even if you are off work, we will wait for you."
"Then it's settled!"
