"baffling!"

Lu Ye shook his head and walked forward quickly.

In the hospital operating room.

After nearly two hours of surgery, the old man's fractured pelvis was finally reconnected.

The old man under general anesthesia was pushed into the ward by the nurse, waiting to wake up.

In the refrigerator factory's family quarters, in a two-story stove building, a family was in a panic.

"This old man, I told him not to go out but he insisted on going. How come he is gone now?" An old lady in her sixties was anxious and angry. She sat on the bunk bed and kept sighing.

"Mom, don't worry too much. Dad is not stupid. Nothing will happen to him. Maybe he went to an old colleague's house." The daughter-in-law supported the old lady and comforted her.

"Yes, grandma, grandpa likes to play chess. Maybe he went to Grandpa Zhang's house to play chess. Don't worry." The eldest grandson also comforted the old lady.

"Impossible, we have already agreed to give Xiaojie a good birthday. He went out to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a cake for Xiaojie. He definitely wouldn't go to a colleague's house." The old lady said firmly.

Flutter...

The door opened, and a middle-aged man rushed in and asked, "Is Dad back?"

The woman in the house shook her head: "No."

"I went to ask Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhao and other families that my dad often went to, but he had never been there." The middle-aged man was anxious because he couldn't find anyone.

"It's already so late, where can Dad go?"

Now that the old man is gone, the daughter-in-law doesn't dare to make any guesses.

"This old thing is such a worry!" The old lady sighed anxiously.

"Zhiqiang, why don't we call the security department and ask them to help us find dad," said the woman.

Lin Zhiqiang hesitated a little: "If we call the security department, then everyone in the factory will know that Dad is missing. Dad is a face-conscious person. If it's just a mistake, Dad will definitely be angry.

"What should we do?"

The old man suddenly disappeared, and the whole family was very worried, fearing that something might happen to him again.

However, the more people fear something, the more likely it is to happen.

Just as the man was about to go out to look for her again, two police officers in white uniforms came to the door.

"Are you Lin Han's family members?"

When Lin Zhiqiang heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Lin Han is his father.

"Yes, I am his son."

"What happened to my dad?"

"Don't be afraid. The old man fell off his bicycle this afternoon and fractured his pelvis. Luckily, he was taken to the hospital and has been saved. We received a call from the hospital and came here to notify your family."

When the old lady heard this, she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

"This old man...I didn't ask him to ride a bike, but he just wouldn't listen. Oh..."

The policeman saw the old lady was so anxious and said hurriedly: "Auntie, don't worry, the old man is fine now and is recuperating in the hospital. Don't worry yourself and make yourself sick when the old man is fine now."

"Alright, we've already received the message. Please hurry to the hospital to check on him. He's in Ward 302 of the inpatient department."

After delivering the message, the two police officers were about to leave.

Lin Zhiqiang hurriedly said: "Thank you, comrade."

The police were sent away.

Lin Zhiqiang and his wife supported his mother, and the family of four rushed to the hospital in a hurry.

In Ward 302 of the inpatient department, the old man who had disappeared for a night was finally found.

At this time, the old man was wearing a brace and lying on his back on the hospital bed, his entire lower body unable to move.

As soon as they met.

The old lady came closer with tears in her eyes and complained: "You old thing, you never listen to what I say. I didn't ask you to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, but you insisted on going. I didn't ask you to ride a bike, but you insisted on riding it. Now you feel better, don't you?"

"Does it hurt?"

Perhaps this is the way the older generation cares for each other. Although they complain, when the old lady gently lifted the quilt and saw her husband tied up with a splint like a pig, she still felt heartbroken.

Tears fell down in a crackling sound.

The old man on the bed had an IV drip on his hand. The medicine also contained analgesics, so although it still hurt a little, it was bearable.

Seeing his wife crying so hard, he pursed his lips and comforted her: "Oh, please don't cry, I'm not disabled, I just need to take care of myself."

"Grandpa..." Xiaojie threw himself on the bed and cried.

"Grandpa is fine..." The old man touched his grandson's head, and the wound became less painful.

"Dad, the police told us that you fell off your bike. What happened?" Lin Zhiqiang felt very sad to see his old father suffering so much.

"Oh...it's my fault too. I was just thinking about going there and coming back quickly, so I rode a little too fast. Suddenly, the kid rushed towards me, and I stepped on the brakes..."

The old man fell quite hard. He only remembered that he fell while trying to avoid a child, and was then carried to the hospital by three young men.

As for the incident in the middle where the child's mother ran away with the child, he had no recollection of it.

"Those three young men are my benefactors," the old man said to his son gratefully. "My medical expenses were paid by one of those young men. We should really thank them. Otherwise, I, your father, might have died there."

"What nonsense are you talking about, old man?" said the old lady somewhat unhappily.

After hearing what happened, Lin Zhiqiang was very grateful to the three people who saved his father.

It's a blessing in disguise after all.

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely thank them well."

······

The next day it was dark and bright.

The bell for the production team's work was rung.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding...

As usual, Lu Ye put on his clothes, ate a meal, and then followed everyone to the fields.

Without herbicides, weeds in the fields can only be removed manually.

In Lu Ye's production team, each person worked on two ridges.

He was busy weeding, walking from one end to the other, back and forth five times.

With a shout from the production team leader, Lu Ye's work for the day was over.

On the way back, we chatted.

"There's been little rain this year, and the land is so dry. I'm afraid it'll be worse than last year."

"Whether it's enough for three hundred and sixty or not, as long as it doesn't delay the distribution of food to us, it's up to you."

"That's not true. With high production, everyone gets a bigger share. We work for the same year, so getting more is better than getting less."

"Bullshit! Wasn't the yield high the year before last? Just a few extra potatoes are nothing. Secretary Du's vegetable cellar is almost full, I heard. We work so hard, and in the end, we're just contributing to him."

This person's words made everyone silent.

Many people have heard about this incident, but due to Du Dawei's identity, everyone turned a deaf ear and dared not speak out.

Lu Ye knew it best.

Du Dawei and Accountant Tian, ​​one is in charge of power and the other is in charge of money.

The two of them tampered with the grain ledger every year.

After the brigade paid the public grain tax and retained the reserved grain, there would often be some surplus grain left. Each production team would sell this surplus grain to the grain depot or distribute it to members according to its own situation.

With high yields and abundant surplus grain, the sales revenue will naturally be higher, and the members will naturally receive more money and grain.

However, in Dongsheng Village, this part of income remains almost unchanged year after year.

Even if the yield is high, the money and food distributed to everyone is only slightly more.

So, the phrase "Is three hundred and sixty enough?" may be a catchy saying in other places, but it is a true portrayal in Dongsheng Village.
