He saw that there were still people unwilling to pay for electricity.
Captain Zhao stopped persuading them.
He picked some young men from the team and helped them, also giving them work points.
The staff from the electric power bureau worked very quickly.
At Zhao’s end, they were treated well with good food and drink, even stewed kelp was prepared.
It must be said that after being well-fed and hydrated, the workers also worked with more vigor.
"How’s your learning going with them?" Captain Zhao looked at his own Laoer, Zhao Tianhai, having him learn from these electricians.
Laosan’s family didn’t need to worry.
But for the eldest and Laoer, they couldn’t help but be concerned.
Even though their sons were already fathers.
"Dad, I will learn well." Zhao Tianhai also knew that his father wanted him to learn from the electricians because that could be a skill, and later on, if the power bureau was hiring, he could try his luck there.
Laosan and his wife managed to step out, and in the future, the country would assign them jobs.
He didn’t want to let this opportunity slip through his fingers.
Captain Zhao also hoped that Laoer’s lazy streak would improve and that he wouldn’t be lazy all day.
Zhao Tianhai was cunning by nature, having gotten the short end of the stick with Zhao Tianlei, but he still knew how to ingratiate himself, doing some chores, learning something from their hands.
"Auntie, I don’t have money on me, I can borrow money, I will definitely pay it back, I can write an IOU." Er Dan also wanted to install electricity, he had agreed at the beginning, but he didn’t have the cash.
Previously, Yun Xiaoxiao had taken ten yuan from Er Dan’s Sister-in-law, which was all spent on a pot.
As for food, the ration he received was not enough to feed himself.
After the autumn harvest, busy with planting wheat, there was no work to be done afterward, and he had to go to the hills to find food again.
"You may." Mrs. Zhao was aware that Er Dan lived in their old house and heard he had built a bit by himself using mud bricks.
He had been gradually rebuilding that rundown home with his frail body.
Laosan and his wife had helped him before.
Yun Xiaoxiao finally had finished her work, but she had fallen ill.
Zhao Tianlei was frightened.
In the middle of the night, he rushed her to the hospital.
She was immediately put on an IV drip.
"What’s wrong with me?"
Yun Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected to wake up not at home, but in a hospital.
"Drink some water first." Zhao Tianlei quickly poured water for Yun Xiaoxiao, having hurried over, he also asked Xiao He to go back and quickly grab a few things.
After a glass of water, Yun Xiaoxiao felt much better.
"You’ve got a cold and fever, you scared me to death. I called Xiao He in the middle of the night to take you to the hospital."
Why did I get a fever again?
"Isn’t there fever medicine at home?"
Before, Yun Xiaoxiao had been worried about Da Bao and Xiao Bao suddenly getting a cold, so she had prepared some fever medicine at home in case they got too anxious.
These words stunned Zhao Tianlei.
Holding his wife’s burning body, at that time, he only had one goal: to get his wife to the hospital.
He had forgotten about the medicine his wife had prepared at home.
"You have classes, you should go to your classes?"
She had skipped class.
"No way, you’re not well yet."
"The fever has gone down already."
A nearby auntie, seeing Yun Xiaoxiao waking up, hurriedly spoke up, "Girl, you’re finally awake. Your man carried you to the hospital last night, yelling for the doctor to come see you. He brought you to the ward and kept asking the doctor why you’re not waking up."
These words left Zhao Tianlei a bit embarrassed.
Auntie, I was just a bit anxious last night, sorry if I woke you up.
Yun Xiaoxiao showed a smile, "Auntie, sorry for waking you all up."
"Your man is really good to you."
