Chapter 222 A bastard born of a mother but raised without a father
Just as Yang Shouye was feeling utterly exhausted and contemplating his last words, Lu Yaosong released his grip.
Yang Shouye collapsed to the ground like a limp rag.
Lu Yao took another Daqianmen cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it.
Lu Yao wasn't a heavy smoker; he didn't usually buy or want to smoke, but he would smoke one if there was a convenient cigarette available.
Sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), Yang Shouye had smoked more than half of his cigarette and recovered.
"Oh my god... cough cough cough... Company Commander Lu... cough cough cough..."
It looks like it's taking even longer to breathe than a cow that's been panting for ten thousand years.
However, it recovered in a short time.
"Company Commander Lu, what are you doing! Just say what you want to say, why resort to violence? You can't kill someone like that! If you lose one, I won't be able to recover!"
As Yang Shouye spoke, tears of grievance streamed down his face.
I felt so frustrated.
I can't beat them, I can't argue with them, and I can't afford to offend them.
How could I have run into such a person? Was he sent by God to torment me?
Lu Yao sneered, "I'm just warning you, don't try to be clever! Whether you're helping me, harming me, or just want to see me fail, I can tell at a glance! I'm giving you some face in front of others. Next time, no matter who's in front of you, if you try anything funny, I'll slap you across the face right now!"
Yang Shouye had no choice but to accept his defeat.
He nodded repeatedly, "Company Commander Lu, I was just hesitant to say much because the Niu father and son were too stubborn, afraid they'd accuse me of favoritism. Since you've pointed it out, I'll be more careful next time!"
At this time, Yang Shouye had not yet come up with a foolproof plan to deal with Lu Yao.
The only option is to show weakness and give in.
Otherwise, this kid would beat me up for no reason, and my old arms and legs couldn't take it.
Lu Yao was just teaching him a lesson to make him realize the situation and understand the difference between the two kings.
Then his face changed to a smile:
"Alright, it's good that we've talked it out. Come and sit on the kang (heated brick bed). Don't let your daughter-in-law see you acting like an old person. Come and sit down, I'll talk to you about the production team."
Yang Shouye suppressed the intense hatred in his heart.
He got up and sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
"Just tell me, Xiao Lu, I'll do whatever you say!"
Lu Yao smiled and waved his hand: "Don't say that, Director Yang. I'm proposing this, and you can give me your advice. It's all for the sake of the country's development."
"Um."
Yang Shouye thought to himself, "You're even better at spouting official jargon than I am."
Lu Yao told him that he wanted to start production and plant greenhouse vegetables in advance so that city dwellers wouldn't be unable to afford vegetables during the lean season in spring.
This income belongs to the production team as collective income. The money is handed over to the commune, and the production team calculates work points for the commune members.
Many members of the commune were willing to earn work points during the off-season.
Yang Shouye nodded in agreement: "Theoretically, this is feasible, but I can't make decisions on my own. I'll also consult with my superiors to prevent other communes from gossiping. If a serious accusation is leveled against me, I won't be able to withstand it."
Lu Yao nodded in agreement.
He added, "There's another matter. Our brigade wants to collect all the miscellaneous grains from the various brigades to make liquor! Of course, it will all be collective property."
Yang Shouye cursed inwardly: You're just messing around.
They just want to line their own pockets.
They're all experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors; you shouldn't try any unorthodox remedies.
Nowadays, everyone works in the same pot, just coasting along and waiting to die. Whether you work or not, the pay is about the same, so who would want to do more work?
If you've built such a large operation, who would do it if there wasn't profit to be made?
Claiming it's for the collective good is nothing but a beautiful facade!
However, having just had Lu Yao put his arm around his neck, he dared not utter a single dissent.
Anyway, I don't take my own money, and I don't have to do any work.
So he nodded: "I'll also communicate this to your superiors on your behalf!"
Lu Yao gave a half-smile and patted his shoulder, "Then I'll have to trouble you. You can drink as much of the brigade's liquor as you like!"
"No, no, we cadres can't touch a single needle or thread of public property."
"Haha, yeah, a single stitch is too little; it's pointless to take it!"
"Oh dear, Company Commander Lu, you must be joking!"
Yang Shouye's fat face trembled uncontrollably; he couldn't tell whether Lu Yao's words were true or barbed.
Lu Yao was afraid that Yang Shouye would interfere, just like his sarcastic tone when he borrowed the ox earlier.
So I gave him some advance education, and then reminded him again:
"Director Yang, as you know, I know County Chief Hao, so whether you're genuinely putting in the effort to help me apply or trying to sabotage things, I'll definitely find out!"
Yang Shouye's eyes widened:
"Look at you, Xiao Lu, it's not good that you don't trust me! From now on, I'll treat you like a brother, and I'll never do anything to harm you!"
Yang Shouye's ability to lie through his teeth was innate.
That's how we got to where we are today.
Lu Yao laughed and said, "Okay, I believe you."
His expression immediately turned cold: "Director Yang, have you ever killed anyone?"
"No!"
Yang Shouye thought to himself, "What are you doing, jumping around like that? Are you really going to kill me?"
Lu Yao chuckled and chatted with him about how he killed Japanese soldiers on the mountain.
With one shot, watching the brains explode, that moment was incredibly exciting!
Yang Shouye was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
In fact, Lu Yao was not a bloodthirsty person. He was just warning Yang Shouye to behave himself.
Everything Lu Yao said was true; there was no threatening involved. However, it had already made Yang Shouye break out in a cold sweat.
As the two were talking, there was a loud knocking on the door.
Yang Shouye couldn't help but curse, "Which son of a bitch, born of a mother but without a father, is knocking on the door like that? He scared me to death!"
They vented their anger towards Lu Yao on the person knocking on the door.
The two looked out through the glass window.
Yuan Shuya came out of the side room and ran to open the main door.
He used his apron to padded his wet hands to open the iron gate bolt.
It was the dead of winter, the coldest season in Northeast China.
You shouldn't touch metal with wet hands, otherwise your hands will get stuck and if you try to pull them off, you'll peel off a layer of skin.
Yuan Shuya had learned her lesson after suffering several losses.
The door opened, and a person rushed in, grabbing Yuan Shuya and pinching and squeezing her.
"You son of a bitch, it took you forever to open the door! Were you trying to freeze me to death?!"
It was none other than Yuan Shuya's husband, Yang Shouye's son, Yang Ming.
This kid is staying at the county hospital and he's always thinking about getting a nurse or something to play around with.
But girls in the 1970s were not like those in the 21st century.
It's not something you can play just because you have money.
If things go wrong, people might call the police and accuse you of indecent behavior.
There have been cases of people being executed for indecent behavior.
Jing Youxiang is talkative and cheerful, and she had a falling out with Yang Ming last time.
Now, even changing dressings and giving injections are done by a nurse in her forties.
So he hasn't found a single one in all these days.
I was so uncomfortable that I checked out of the hospital and went home.
I'm about to vent my frustrations on Yuan Shuya.
He wore less clothing in order to be fashionable.
In the dead of winter, without wearing a padded coat or trousers, and with no taxis available, I took a bus back to Shuiling Town and ran all the way home, shivering from the cold.
Seeing that Yuan Shuya was only wearing a sweater and wool pants that accentuated her figure, he was immediately smitten.
After pinching it a few times, I pulled her into the house:
"Hurry up, go inside and calm me down, I'm really raging right now!"
He pulled Yuan Shuya so hard she tumbled back to her room.
Yang Shouye and Lu Yao could see it clearly from inside the house.
Lu Yao laughed, "As expected, he's a bastard born of a mother but without a father to teach him!"
Yang Shouye blushed:
"Ignore him, let's talk about our own things."
But the door to the side room wasn't closed, and Yuan Shuya's voice could be heard coming from there:
"Hey, don't pull down my pants, I'm on my period!"
