Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 168 Where did you hit
The ox cart swayed towards the next brigade.

"Sister Qiuyi, I'm sorry to have to ride on your rented ox cart again." In the back of the ox cart, Zhang Moli looked at Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan sitting opposite her with an embarrassed look on her face.

"No, Jasmine, you're wrong, it's..." Tao Qiuyi was about to explain the whole story when the ox cart suddenly tilted and she fell uncontrollably onto Wei Jingyuan beside her.

It hurts, oh, it hurts so much.

"Did you bump into anything?" Wei Jingyuan asked casually, his arm slipping over her shoulders and pulling her into his arms. He felt her soft body tremble slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms.

Enduring the pain, Tao Qiuyi gritted his teeth and replied with two words, "No."

She thought to herself, how could I not have been hit if it hurt so much? Yes, I was hit, it hit her chest, but she couldn't say it. What was even worse was that there were other people sitting in the truck bed, and she couldn't even rub it.

Seeing that her facial features were almost wrinkled in pain, Wei Jingyuan knew that she was not telling the truth.

There were other people on the oxcart, so he couldn't ask for details. He could only hold her with less force. His big hands rested on her shoulders, gently patting them.

Noticing Wei Jingyuan's actions, Tao Qiuyi was stunned. Was this man trying to comfort her?
"Grandpa, are you okay?" After Huang Hao sat down, the first thing he did was to care about his elderly grandfather.

"It's okay. Grandpa has ridden in an ox cart more times than you have. He has experience." The old branch secretary waved his hand. He sat on the straw mat on the ground, so the impact was not as great as when they sat on the benches.

"That's good." Huang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing the old branch secretary say that he was fine, the other three did not ask him any more questions.

"Sister Qiuyi, are you really okay?" After being protected and seated by Huang Hao beside her, Zhang Moli began to care about Tao Qiuyi.

"It's okay." Tao Qiuyi felt better now. He raised his eyes and smiled at Zhang Moli. "Moli, you have to sit tight. Don't follow in my footsteps."

"Okay." Zhang Moli responded with a smile, "I will definitely be careful."

"Also, Jasmine, you made a mistake just now. It was Wei Jingyuan and I who were riding in the ox cart you rented." Tao Qiuyi said, and stepped out of Wei Jingyuan's arms.

People in this era are conservative, so she has to adapt to local customs.

"Ah!" Zhang Moli was stunned. She didn't understand why Tao Qiuyi said that. When she and her husband got on the ox cart at the doorstep, Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan were already on it.

She naturally thought that the ox cart was rented by Tao Qiuyi, because Tao Qiuyi had rented an ox cart more than once before.

"The old branch secretary rented the ox cart with his own money, and Wei Jingyuan and I just rode on it." After Tao Qiuyi finished speaking, he glanced at the old branch secretary who was sitting on the straw mat in the middle.

It’s really hard to describe this matter in words.

She patiently explained the importance of the receipt to the team leader and the old branch secretary. The old branch secretary wrote her a receipt, and she put it and the certificate together in the ring space.

Then he asked the team leader to rent a bullock cart and prepared to take Wei Jingyuan to the next team to have Mr. Jiang check him again.

The old branch secretary heard that she was going to see Mr. Jiang, asked her and Wei Jingyuan to wait for a while, and then rushed out of the office.

When he appeared again, the old branch secretary came back with Uncle Li, who drove the ox cart, and said that he had rented the ox cart.

He also had to go to the next brigade to ask her and Wei Jingyuan to get on the oxcart. Then the oxcart would go to the old branch secretary's house, pick up Zhang Moli and Huang Hao, and go to the next brigade together.

Huang Hao understood that his grandfather rented the oxcart for him, and his eyes were red with emotion. Besides his wife Jasmine, his grandfather was the one who was most worried about his asthma. Receiving Tao Qiuyi's gaze, the old branch secretary coughed lightly and explained, "Huang Hao's asthma has not been cured for a long time, and I am worried. Seeing Jing Yuan's leg healed, I can't sit still for a moment."

"I just heard from Tao Yatou that you and Jing Yuan are going to the next brigade to have Jing Yuan's leg checked again, so I wanted to drag Huang Hao to see the old Chinese doctor again."

Zhang Moli and Huang Hao were both stunned, with a sentence echoing in their minds.

Jingyuan's leg was healed.

Tao Qiuyi said: "You don't need to explain, I understand your feelings."

"I understand how I feel." The old Party Secretary snorted in disbelief. "I understand how an old man feels. Why are you looking at me with such resentment?"

Tao Qiuyi was speechless after being rebuked. Was that a look of resentment in her eyes? She felt that this old man was acting on impulse.

"Old Party Secretary, you misunderstood." Wei Jingyuan said calmly, "She's not looking at you with resentment. She just thinks you act on impulse."

"Hey, you protect her so much. Whenever I say something to her, you retort me. Where has the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young gone?" The old branch secretary sat on the straw mat and kicked Wei Jingyuan angrily.

"Grandpa, what did you just say?" Huang Hao's voice was a little unstable after he came back to his senses. He didn't look at the old branch secretary, but stared at Wei Jingyuan's legs without blinking.

He was sure that his grandfather had just said, "I saw Jingyuan's leg healed." His grandfather saw it with his own eyes, so it must be true.

Wei Jingyuan just said yesterday that his injured leg could be cured, so how come it was cured today?

"Doctor Wei's leg... is cured?" Zhang Moli was also shocked, her eyes fixed on Wei Jingyuan's long legs.

Wei Jingyuan frowned, feeling very uncomfortable when two people suddenly stared at his legs like this. He moved his legs to the side, but by chance, they bumped into Tao Qiuyi's legs, and he froze.

Turning her head, Tao Qiuyi first saw Wei Jingyuan's red ears, and thought to herself, how can this man be so innocent and shy!

Seeing the reactions of his grandson and granddaughter-in-law, and knowing their eagerness to know the answer, the old branch secretary still looked at Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan, asking for their opinions.

The leg was healed, and Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan had no intention of hiding it, so they both nodded.

The old Party Secretary felt relieved. He turned around to look at his grandson and said with certainty, "He's cured. I saw Jingyuan stand up and walk with my own eyes. Although he was slow, he was able to walk."

Huang Hao felt a little more hopeful and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

As a patient himself, Wei Jingyuan could especially understand Huang Hao's feelings. This time he didn't pour cold water on Huang Hao, but just sighed.

Uncle Li, who was driving the ox cart, was wearing a thick hat and did not hear the conversation in the back of the cart.

When the ox cart arrived at Mr. Jiang's thatched cottage, Tao Qiuyi waited for the old branch secretary to get off the cart first before he jumped off and turned back to wait for Wei Jingyuan.

Huang Hao climbed down the ox cart and turned around to help Zhang Moli down. He was about to help Wei Jingyuan down. Wei Jingyuan said thank you, then turned over and got off the ox cart himself.

Huang Hao stood firmly beside Tao Qiuyi with his legs planted firmly. He was stunned in place. There was a huge difference between hearing about something and seeing it with his own eyes.

Zhang Moli and Uncle Li were also stunned at the same time, especially Uncle Li, who was stunned with shock.

"Let's go." Tao Qiuyi naturally extended his hand towards Wei Jingyuan and said jokingly, "Old Jiang will definitely be shocked when he sees you. Let's go and scare him."
