Chapter 425: Doing My Little Part
As soon as he finished speaking, many neighbors in the team came to visit, and many of them brought their own stools. The Ji family immediately got up to clean up the dishes and invited them to sit in the yard.
Now that the production team has electricity, every household has been connected and light bulbs have been installed. Brothers Ji Dalin and Ji Sanlin have turned on the lights in their homes. The wattage of the bulbs is a bit low, and the light is dim, but it is enough for lighting.
Neighbors came over one after another. Ji Luo greeted the elders politely. After the man came over with the luggage, he immediately took out a bag of spiced broad beans and placed it on the table, inviting everyone to eat.
"Xiao He is here, come and eat something, Sister Luo bought some broad beans."
When Ji Bingqing saw her childhood playmate coming, she immediately pulled her to the table and gave her a handful of broad beans. "Xiao He, eat quickly. They are delicious. Why didn't your brother come?"
"behind."
Xiao He was a little bit unrecognizable when she saw her. Seeing that she was much prettier than before, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Bing Qing, you are so beautiful now."
"No, it's still the same as before." Ji Bingqing smiled.
Ji Luo had just packed up his things in the room and brought out a bag of candy to put on the table. He saw that the girl talking to Ji Bingqing looked familiar. He walked closer and recognized that she was his childhood playmate, "Xiao He."
"Sister Luo." Xiaohe felt a little reserved when she saw her.
When Ji Luo was a child, she often went with her to pick grass for pigs. She was also a miserable child. Her mother despised the poor and loved the rich. She ran away with someone when she and her sister were very young. Her grandparents favored her eldest uncle's family. Her father had to play both the role of father and mother to take care of and raise the two siblings. Life at home was not easy.
Seeing that she was now wearing ill-fitting clothes, with patches on top of patches, the girl of sixteen or seventeen was as thin as if she was thirteen or fourteen, with a pale face and skinny body, just like the original owner before, it made one feel a little sad to see her.
"Xiao He, come and sit down and eat." Ji Luo walked over to her and asked, "Are your father and brother here?"
"My brother is behind me." Xiaohe said and lowered her head.
"Ji Luo, Xiaohe's father had an accident. Last month, he was helping someone carry stones and was hit on the back by a stone rolling down the mountain. The bone was not broken, but the nerves were damaged. Now he is half paralyzed in bed." Li Shufen told her hurriedly.
Ji Luo frowned: "Did you go to the hospital for treatment?"
"I went to the county hospital, but the doctor said it couldn't be cured." Xiao He's voice was as light as a mosquito, with a hint of tears in it.
Ji Luo knew her family's financial situation. Her father didn't have any skills to make money, and the family had no savings. They had no money to go to the city for examination and treatment. Her grandparents and uncles would not pay for his treatment, and they probably wouldn't even care about the life or death of her and her siblings.
Ji Bingqing had a good relationship with her and had heard about her family's affairs from her mother a long time ago. She also asked her parents to give 30 yuan to Xiaohe as a small contribution she could make.
"Xiao He, don't cry. Sit down and eat something. I'll go home to see my uncle tomorrow." Ji Bingqing took her in his arms and sat down. Seeing her brother Xiao Ping coming, she waved at him, "Xiao Ping, come and eat something."
"Sister Bingqing, Sister Luo."
Both of them were dressed in rags, their clothes and pants were patched over and over again, and their skin was tanned and rough and dark.
Ji Luo grabbed a lot of snacks for the brother and sister, moved a bench for them to sit on, and without saying anything else for the time being, he went to the door to greet the other neighbors who had just arrived.
"Ji Luo, Wenwu has fetched some water. You and Tuantuan should go take a bath first." Li Hongjuan had just made their beds and poured them some water.
"Okay, Aunt Juan, thank you for your hard work."
Ji Luo came over and picked up his son, took the candy from his hand and stuffed it into Ren Rongyan's mouth, "We just finished eating, you can't eat snacks. You ate a lot of candy today, if you eat more candy, your teeth will be bitten off by bugs."
When Tuantuan saw his father eat the candy in one gulp, he immediately pouted and said, "You stinky dad."
"Do you want bugs to bite off all your teeth?" Ren Rongyan asked back indifferently.
Tuantuan immediately covered his mouth and hesitated for only half a second before throwing himself into his mother's arms, "Mom, I don't want to eat anymore. I want to take a bath. Bugs are biting Daddy's teeth."
Ji Luo raised the corner of his mouth and patted his butt lightly: "Good boy, you behaved very well today, mom will reward you with a piece tomorrow."
Ji Sanlin also built two new houses in the first half of this year. They were made of red bricks and painted with cement. A bathroom was built in the back. Li Hongjuan was very diligent and clean, and kept the house very tidy. She also came over to help Ji Luo give Tuantuan a bath.
She first gave her son a bath, put a pair of shorts on him, applied some mosquito repellent on him, put on a vest, and carried him to Ren Rongyan's arms.
Ji Luo took a slow shower. When she came out with wet hair wrapped around her head, the yard outside was crowded with people. Many of them were standing and talking. They were all more friendly than ever when they saw her.
"Luoluo, fellow villagers are here to ask if the home textile factory is still hiring." Ren Rongyan directly stated the purpose of everyone's visit.
Everyone had just told Chen Zhifeng about this, and he had already asked about the situation. He said to her, "Ji Luo, I've just made it clear to everyone that the factory only recruits female workers. A rough count shows that there are probably seven or eight girls of the right age. Three or four of them have graduated from junior high school this year, and the others have only studied in junior high school for one year."
"There are not many people, so we can make some arrangements. You can handle it as you wish." Ji Luo left the matter to him.
Seeing Ji Luo agreed, the girls and their parents were very happy. Xiao He, who was huddled in the corner, suddenly stood up and summoned up the courage to ask in a low voice: "Sister Luo, can I go? My family wants to make money to treat my father's illness and support my brother's education..."
"Xiao He, let's talk about this tomorrow. Let's go see your father tomorrow. If he can be cured, we will try our best to help. If he can't be cured, I will make other arrangements for you." Ji Luo patted her shoulder.
She and Xiaohe grew up together. Xiaohe has an honest and decent personality, and matured precociously due to the burden of the family. In fact, her grades were pretty good when she was in school, but her family had no money to support her studies, so she dropped out of school after the first grade and worked at home.
"Sister Luo, thank you." Xiaohe started to cry as she spoke.
"Okay, don't cry, don't cry."
Ji Luo felt sad when she saw the two siblings. They were both from poor families and had the same difficult childhood. She could understand their difficulties very well. Now that she had finally gotten out of the predicament and had the ability, she was willing to lend a hand.
"The girls you are going with, make preparations in the next two days and come to Zhifeng to register tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Then we will get letters of introduction and buy train tickets to go to Yangcheng with us." Ji Luo made arrangements.
"Okay, let's get ready. Ji Luo, Zhifeng, thank you so much." Several parents expressed their gratitude.
"Aunts and uncles, our two factories have already recruited enough people a few days ago. We can't bring too many people this time. There is no way to arrange for too many people, and the dormitory will not be able to accommodate them."
"I'll tell you the truth, we're all neighbors who know each other well, and we're also familiar with the characters of the girls, so we agreed to take them over."
"Please don't spread the news of recruiting workers for the time being. If neighbors from other teams come to us and ask us to take care of this family's daughter or that family's niece or nephew, it will be difficult for us to handle it."
Chen Zhifeng first told everyone that there are too many surplus laborers in the countryside now, and everyone wants to go out to work. Once they hear the news, many people will definitely come overnight.
Everyone understood what he meant. The parents of these girls all responded, "Zhifeng, okay, okay, we won't tell anyone. We promise not to tell anyone."
