Chapter 217 Flower-obsessed Cow Girl
When Niu Baisui heard that he wanted to borrow an ox, his expression immediately changed.
The animals raised by the production team were their precious treasures.
This is collective property of the production team, and it is also separately accounted for; it is not subject to distribution by the commune.
Even Yang Shouye did not have the authority to allocate resources.
Yang Shouye said one sentence and then stepped back.
Looking at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao smiled slightly, took a Daqianmen cigarette from Yang Shouye's jacket pocket, and handed it to Niu Baisui.
"Captain Niu, hold on, have a smoke."
"I won't smoke!"
Niu Baisui glared angrily, gripping his axe tightly, as if he were about to chop someone down.
Niu Erya quickly took the cigarette from Lu Yao and handed it to her father:
"Hey, why aren't you taking the cigarette that Company Commander Lu offered you? It's not like you can't smoke."
Then he took out matches from his dad's pocket and lit them for him and Lu Yao.
Yang Shouye, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, leaned over, and Er Ya simply handed the matches back to him.
Then his eyes looked at Lu Yao.
Yang Shouye glared at her.
Damn it, you're such a fangirl!
I'd heard long ago that Niu Baisui's second daughter was a bit of a rascal, and sure enough, she's a bit dim-witted!
But it's actually quite pretty.
Lu Yao smiled and said to Niu Baisui:
"Captain Niu, I won't lend you your ox for nothing. I'd like to cooperate with your village in the future. I'll form a hunting team, and the young men from your village can sign up. We'll split the spoils from the hunt between our two villages."
"We'll go hunting ourselves!"
Diao Laosi wanted to say a few words in support of Lu Yao, but Niu Baisui glared at him and shut him up.
Yang Shouye thought that Lu Yao should get angry at this point, take out his gun and shoot Niu Baisui dead. Then Lu Yao would arrest him, and I would be relieved.
But Lu Yao still smiled:
"Alright, if you don't want your village people to participate, you can go anytime. I'll borrow this ox for a month, and then I'll return it to you!"
After saying that, he looked at Yang Shouye.
Yang Shouye shivered when he saw that Lu Yao's gaze was a little cold towards him.
I thought to myself, I can't just sit here and gloat.
Lu Yao is a cunning kid. He can tell if I don't speak up for him. Don't come looking for trouble for me right away.
So take a step forward:
"Old Niu, why don't you lend it to him for a month? Company Commander Lu won't lend it for nothing; he'll give you a reward!"
Niu Baisui's stubbornness kicked in:
"No way! What, Director Yang, are you helping Jiapigou Village? But according to Article 60 of the Regulations on the Work of Rural People's Communes, the production team is also a basic accounting unit. You can't just distribute our collective property away arbitrarily!"
Yang Shouye really couldn't do anything about Niu Baisui.
He is different from Ding Dahu.
Although Ding Dahu is a rather fierce person, he is fond of engaging in shady practices.
Inviting guests and giving gifts, enriching oneself at the expense of the public—these were all leverages that Yang Shouye held over them.
Moreover, Ding Dahu was determined to climb the ranks and treated Yang Shouye with the same respect he would show to his father.
But Niu Baisui is a man of integrity.
He won the support of all the members entirely through his hard work and dedication.
When this guy gets cocky and isn't satisfied with himself, he can go straight to the county committee.
So Yang Shouye usually doesn't provoke him.
Upon seeing Yang Shouye speaking up for Lu Yao, he immediately brought up the regulations.
Yang Shouye smiled:
"I'm not taking sides with Jiapigou. It's a matter between your two production teams; you decide for yourselves. I can't force you."
After saying that, he went to smoke.
Before Lu Yao could speak, Niu Er Ya became unhappy:
"Dad, you can't talk to people one way and the other way. Let Company Commander Lu in."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Lu Yao's arm, pulling him into the yard.
Lu Yao didn't stand on ceremony and followed Er Ya into the house.
Lu Yao also knew that in this era, it was not an easy thing to borrow a cow from someone.
However, he believes that nothing is impossible for a willing heart; as long as you put your heart into doing everything, nothing is absolutely impossible.
Franklin once said: "Nothing in this world is certain except death and taxes."
However, based on Lu Yao's own experience, he felt that death was no longer absolute.
Based on his own experience of rebirth, he believes that life is a form of energy.
Even if your physical body ages and decays, your energy does not disappear.
If even death is not absolute, then what is impossible?
They followed Er Ya into the Niu family's house.
Niu Baisui had no choice but to follow him in.
He was still grumbling to Yang Shouye, "Borrowing an ox? What were you thinking? Are you out of your mind?!"
When Diao Laosi realized that things were going wrong and that it would be awkward for him to stay, he made an excuse and left.
Once inside, Er Ya served melon seeds and poured tea.
He even took out a few oranges and placed them in front of Lu Yao.
Niu Baisui was so angry that he kept glaring at him.
Those oranges were bought in the city after he had saved up a lot of money, intending to eat them on New Year's Eve!
Lu Yao took a good look at this genuine young lady.
With thick eyebrows, big eyes, white teeth, and red lips, she was a typical country girl.
In this era where standards for figure and skin are not high, she can be considered a beauty with a score of 80 or above.
Lu Yao quite liked this genuine attitude.
After Er Ya finished her work, she sat down directly between Lu Yao and Niu Baisui:
"Company Commander Lu, I heard your militia company is recruiting female soldiers, right? Shuang Yanzi went too?"
Lu Yao nodded: "Yes, why are you going too? Being a militiaman is tough!"
Niu Erya looked back at Niu Baisui:
"Dad, I want to go too!"
"Get out of my way!"
Niu Baisui had disliked her for a long time.
You can't tell the difference in their eyebrows or eyes.
I wouldn't even let this kid take my cow, and you still want to go with him? I've already lost my daughter to him.
At that moment, a series of coughs came from the inner room.
Lu Yao asked, "Is that the old man in the inner room?"
Niu Baisui remained silent, chatted with Yang Shouye for a few words, and left Lu Yao hanging.
But with Niu Erya around, there won't be any awkward silences.
"That's my grandfather. He has lung problems and doesn't dare to go outside in winter."
"Oh? Have you been to the hospital? What was the diagnosis?"
Upon seeing Lu Yao chatting with her, Niu Erya became somewhat excited and turned to watch Lu Yao as he explained her grandfather's condition.
Niu Baisui chatted casually with Yang Shouye.
Each of the four truly harbored their own secrets.
Yang Shouye chuckled inwardly, thinking, "Let's see what kind of ability you, surnamed Lu, have to deal with this stubborn mule, Niu Baisui!"
They even dared to inquire about Niu Wannian; that old man is even more stubborn than his son!
I was beaten by Ding Dahu back then, and that grudge hasn't been resolved to this day.
If you say you're from Jiapigou, even an old man who can't beat you will spit on you.
Lu Yao hadn't actually thought of a suitable way to borrow cattle before he came.
However, he came with the idea of responding to each move as it came.
As soon as they heard that the old man was sick, they took it to heart.
He said to Er Ya, "I have indeed received instruction from a master, and I have some expertise in treating lung diseases. Let me see if your grandfather is suitable."
Er Ya's eyes lit up when she heard this:
"What? Company Commander Lu, you can even heal people?"
"Yes, I have a mentor who is an internationally renowned pulmonologist!"
Lu Yao wasn't bragging. When he opened his hospital later, he really did hire a national-level expert at a high salary. The old professor and Lu Yao got along very well, and the two had a relationship that was half teacher and half friend.
Moreover, Lu Yao was intelligent and eager to learn. He not only learned from internal medicine experts, but also from doctors in orthopedics, surgery, and traditional Chinese medicine. He was always willing to ask questions of any doctor he knew.
He even worked in the obstetrics and gynecology department.
He killed countless people while working as a mercenary, and sometimes he felt guilty.
They always believed that having medical skills and healing the sick was the true way to accumulate good deeds.
With decades of experience, his medical skills are actually very sophisticated; he just hasn't shown them yet.
Er Ya clapped her hands: "Okay, okay, then quickly take a look at my grandpa."
Niu Baisui chimed in from the side:
"You silly girl, don't believe everything you hear! You're using your grandpa as an experiment!"
