Chapter 596 Everything is complicated
Riding her bicycle towards the production team, Liu Jingxue was thinking about what she needed to arrange for that evening.
I must tell my uncle and aunt about my second brother's injury. I will be away for a while and cannot hide it from them.
However, the condition can be downplayed. Not to mention that he has been in a coma, he was seriously injured and had surgery. He needs to be hospitalized for a period of time and needs family members to take care of him.
Liu Jingxue recalled that she had seen with her spiritual sense that Secretary Yan had informed the captain of her second brother's condition.
“When you go to the brigade headquarters to get the letter of introduction, you must tell the brigade leader and ask him to help conceal the true condition of my second brother.
Also, to be on the safe side, the first thing I will do when I get home is to pray for my second brother again to make sure his condition doesn't get worse before I arrive.
He won’t die before I arrive, and then it will be too late to save him.”
My uncle and aunt must be extremely worried when they heard that my second brother was injured. In order to prevent them from having wild thoughts, it is better to use other things to distract their attention.
Then I could suggest that my eldest brother's family and my second brother take a vacation to come here to visit relatives, which would make them happy and look forward to it.
It's not like the south here. It's too cold in winter, so you need some winter equipment.
Let them arrange some winter equipment for a few of them, so that they won't have free time to think about random things and scare themselves.
Liu Jingxue began to list the things she had to arrange for today.
When my eldest and second brothers come to visit, they can rent a house at the educated youth camp, but we will need firewood for the winter.
I have to call Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao to the cowshed later and talk to them about this. I ask them to not forget to get more firewood when they sell vegetables, eggs and meat to the production team after the autumn harvest.
I don't know when I will be able to come back after I go there, so I can only leave the preparation of bacon for the winter to them.
My eldest and second brothers lived in a youth education center, so we had to prepare an extra coal stove for them, as well as a complete set of daily necessities and bedding.
I already have bedding, so I don't need to prepare any more. I can only entrust the purchase of daily necessities to Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao.
As for the purchase of coal, we can only leave it to them.
Oh, and there’s also the matter of winemaking.
Thinking of wine making, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but frown.
“I’m afraid the brewing of wine cannot be entrusted to these two people.
The sorghum needed to make wine had to wait for the team to distribute it.
In order to avoid suspicion, he had not had much contact with Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao on the surface. Such an important matter as grain distribution could not be entrusted to them.
The tasks of distributing grain and brewing wine have to be entrusted to the team leader.
Ask him to get more sorghum for me, send it to Grandpa Chen Er's house, and ask him to help make wine."
Fortunately, the payment for winemaking is usually paid after the wine is delivered, so there is no rush.
"Since my eldest and second brothers are coming this time, I'm afraid I'll have to brew more wine.
In addition to drinking with the people in the cowshed after they came over, we also had to make some ginseng wine for them to take away when they left.
Last year we sent 300 kilograms of sorghum for making wine. This year we'll get more. Let the team leader help us get 400 kilograms of sorghum.
Let those two people also deliver an extra 100 kilograms each."
In this way, with an extra 150 kilograms of sorghum, we can make an extra kilograms of wine, which should be enough to share.
After the autumn harvest, we have to store sauerkraut and autumn vegetables, and this task can only be entrusted to Aunt Sufen.
Last year, I used the vegetables in the space to pickle sauerkraut, and sold the vegetables from the garden outside with the villagers.
I have to take care of Erke, so I'm afraid I can only pickle sauerkraut with vegetables from outside this year.
However, I can pickle some of the vegetables produced in the space.
Liu Jingxue thought carefully and wondered if there was anything she had missed.
“Oh, and there’s food.
The cowshed and the fine rations for the two men were always provided by myself.
Especially in the cowshed, people were worried that it was not safe to keep the food there, so they stored it at their own place.
Every once in a while, I would send them a batch of food.
I'm going out this time and I don't know when I will be back, so I need to prepare more food for them.
As for those mountain products and leathers, I have always kept them in space, and I am afraid I have to put some of them in the cellar.
You have to put some of the things in the space back home, so that you don’t entrust your home to someone else and they find out that your home is empty, but it’s there when you need it, which would arouse suspicion.”
Liu Jingxue thought about the things she needed to deal with one by one in her mind, and then she realized that there were quite a lot of things.
During this brainstorming process, Liu Jingxue returned to the production team.
Instead of going home, she went directly to the brigade headquarters to find the brigade leader.
The captain had been waiting for her in the office. When he saw her come in, he immediately asked, "Xiaoxue, how is your second brother?"
Liu Jingxue did not hide anything and told him the truth.
After hearing this, the captain sighed and felt very sad. As a veteran, he really didn't want to hear such news.
The next second he realized that he shouldn't be like this in front of Liu Jingxue. She was already worried enough after hearing the news, and his action would make her even more sad.
"Xiaoxue, don't worry, your second brother will be fine."
In order to hide his embarrassment, he picked up the letter of introduction he had prepared long ago and handed it to Liu Jingxue.
"I thought you would go and take care of your second brother, and I have prepared a letter of introduction for you.
Don't worry about that, I will take good care of them."
After more than two years of getting along, Liu Jingxue found that she could trust the team leader.
After receiving the letter of introduction, Liu Jingxue said to the captain, "Captain, I have something to trouble you with."
"Xiaoxue, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
"I didn't plan to tell the two elders directly about my second brother's illness. I planned to keep it light. I have to trouble the captain to keep it a secret for me."
The captain nodded silently, "We have to keep it a secret.
After working day and night to harvest for more than a month, they were already exhausted. If they heard this news, they would not be able to bear it.
Xiaoxue, don't worry, I won't tell them."
After getting the captain's assurance, Liu Jingxue felt relieved and prepared to talk about other things.
At this time, she didn't dare tell the team leader that she wanted to rent a room in the educated youth camp to let her second brother come over to recuperate and let her eldest brother come over to visit.
After all, in the captain's opinion, his second brother's life or death is uncertain, and he doesn't even know whether he can survive this time. How can he have the confidence to ask him to come here to recuperate?
I'd better wait until I get over this matter. After I cure my second brother, I'll discuss it with him and then call Secretary Yan to ask him to help pass on the message.
"Captain, I don't know when I can come back after I leave.
The autumn harvest will soon be over, and we need to start pickling sauerkraut and stockpiling vegetables. I can only trouble Auntie to help with these things."
"That's no problem. I'll tell your aunt when I get back and ask her to help you with it after the autumn harvest." The captain agreed immediately.
"Then I will bring the house key to you at night.
All these matters at home are entrusted to my aunt."
The captain waved his hand and said, "Just focus on taking care of your second brother. We will take care of these things for you. You don't have to worry about it."
"As for the distribution of food, I'll have to trouble the captain.
When the time comes, please help me get 400 kilograms of sorghum, send it to Grandpa Chen's house, and ask him to help me make wine.
As for the reward, it is the same as the previous two years. I will give it to him when he delivers the wine to my house."
“That’s no problem either.
But Xiaoxue, you have to tell me, besides the 400 kilograms of sorghum, what other food do you need?"
Liu Jingxue then told the team leader the other types of grain and their approximate quantities, and the team leader took out a pen and paper and wrote them down one by one.
