Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 28 Help others in need!
Because of his legs, this young man with a strange posture could not travel very fast.

People behind him kept catching up and surpassing him.

Some of them should be from the same village as him.

Looking at his figure, there were bursts of exclamations.

Following these exclamations, most were concerned greetings.

But some people also made sarcastic remarks.

After listening carefully for a while, Fang Hongan also heard some useful information.

This man is a villager from Xichongling. Most of the villagers in Xichongling are surnamed Zheng, and those who care about him call him Quan Wazi, while those who mock him call him Quan Quezi.

So his name is most likely Zheng Quan, Zheng Quan, Zheng Quan...

Of course, it could also be Zheng Xquan, Zheng Xquan, and Zheng Xquan.

Because of his leg problem and the fact that people who saw him were surprised, this was most likely his first time carrying a load to market alone.

As for the fact that a lame man had to carry a load to the market, it seemed that he had no choice. Judging from the discussion between two villagers from Xichongling later, it seemed that his old mother was ill and in the hospital, and he went to the market this time in a hurry to raise money for his mother's treatment.

After hearing these words, Fang Hongan estimated the weight of his load.

Judging from the degree of curvature of the carrying pole and the way he walks.

It should be about a few dozen kilograms. If this weight is put on a donkey cart, it is completely within the bearable range of the donkey cart.

Fang Hongan really wanted to help him.

First of all, it is completely within our capabilities.

Secondly, it was not because he had a problem with his legs and looked pitiful, but more because his mother was seriously ill and he had to pick things to sell for money.

I can help with this kind of thing!
However, from his behavior just now, it is not difficult to see that he is a person with a strong self-esteem and is quite stubborn.

If we combine his leg problem with this, we also have to consider the possibility that he has a sensitive personality and low self-esteem.

In this case, the form in which you start your speech and how you say it will become important to be considerate.

If you intend to help, you must first be able to help.

Otherwise, if something inappropriate comes out and people reject you, then there's no point in even asking.

Fang Hongan was thinking quietly.

Unexpectedly, Wang Tong on the side couldn't hold back anymore. He came over, looked at Fang Hongan eagerly, and lowered his voice: "Brother! Let's help that cripple!"

When Fang Hongan saw Wang Tong's expression, his eyes lit up.

Idea...got it!
"Ok!"

Fang Hongan nodded decisively and asked Wang Tong to stop the donkey cart first.

Then he leaned over and spoke in his ear.

"No way!" Wang Tong felt that it was a bit complicated. "Brother! We are just helping him, is it necessary to make it so complicated?"

“It’s better to be more complicated! Everyone will feel comfortable.”

Fang Hongan did not give any further explanation, but just gave an affirmative expression.

"All right!"

Although Wang Tong didn't quite understand, since it was Fang Hongan's instruction, he didn't say anything else.

After waiting on the side of the road for about two or three minutes.

The lame young man mustered up the courage to come forward.

He must have been in a hurry to get to the market as soon as possible. He gritted his teeth and walked very hard, taking big steps.

Fang Hongan knew very well that this method of using brute force to travel might be able to cover a few miles, but if he wanted to reach Qianmaping, which was nearly ten miles away, he might not be able to persevere even if he gritted his teeth.

Seeing his figure approaching, Fang Hongan winked at Wang Tong.

"Hey! Brother!" Wang Tong grinned, stood up enthusiastically, and stretched out his hand to stop the lame young man: "If you don't mind, put your things up and let's travel together!" Be enthusiastic and sincere, be natural and not deliberate, and give him respect.

This is Fang Hongan’s request, and it is not difficult for Wang Tong, a social expert.

That grinning attitude basically achieves half of the effect.

This is also the reason why Fang Hongan asked Wang Tong to handle this matter.

Sure enough, after hearing this.

The lame young man did not show any signs of nervousness, but instead looked over with surprise.

Obviously, he had not expected Wang Tong to take the initiative to help him, nor had he expected Wang Tong to speak so politely and calmly.

There was obvious interest in his eyes.

But his teeth were still clenched tightly.

Unfortunately, when Wang Tong and his companions stopped, someone nearby also stopped to rest.

Wang Tong's enthusiastic words immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by.

At once, many people looked over.

Most of them cast envious glances at the lame young man.

After all, they had thought about speaking up before.

But, in the end, I still didn't feel good about it.

Among them, two were from Xichongling Village who had just ridiculed the lame young man.

Seeing this lump of good fortune falling directly on the head of the lame young man, he was indignant and started to gossip.

Although I couldn't hear what they said specifically, it was obvious from their expressions that they weren't saying anything nice.

The lame young man obviously saw this scene, and the intention in his eyes disappeared quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing that he was about to refuse, Fang Hongan was afraid that Wang Tong didn't see it, so he quickly stepped forward and said seriously: "It's like this! The steep slope of Jigong Neck is ahead, and we are afraid that the two of us can't hold the frame at the back. We will help you carry these two baskets of things, but you must help us hold the car down along the way!"

"Right, right, right!" Wang Tong, who was also from Xinle City, quickly echoed, "It's an equal exchange, and we don't owe each other anything. If you don't put in some effort, even if you put the things up, I will throw them down!"

As he said this, he made a very fierce expression.

“Is… like this?”

After hearing these words, the lame young man's eyes lit up again and he murmured two words.

Fang Hongan gave Wang Tong a wink at the right time.

Wang Tong understood again, pretending to be angry and yelled at the lame young man: "What's the matter, don't you think it's not worth it?"

"No! No!" The lame young man thought he was misunderstood and quickly waved his hands to explain.

Wang Tong didn't give him a chance to explain: "That's it! I help you and you help me. We are good friends when we go out!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Really? It's so slow for a man!"

Wang Tong walked forward familiarly, stretched out his hands towards the carrying pole on the lame young man's shoulder, and snatched the pole from him without saying a word.

Now that things have come to this, the lame young man has no reason to refuse.

He looked at the two of them with gratitude, lowered his head, and said thank you several times very seriously.

On Wang Tong's side, with the cooperation of Fang Hongan, he helped him lift the basket onto the donkey cart and tied it tightly with a hemp rope.

When the lame young man reacted and wanted to come over to help with an embarrassed look on his face, Wang Tong had already clapped his hands and waved at him: "Follow my brother and watch the car from behind!"

"gone!"
