In light of the incident involving Mrs. Gu, the food factory increased its precautions and veterans spontaneously formed patrol teams to patrol the area around the factory regularly.

Fortunately, nothing else happened in the following period of time.

No one was causing trouble, the factory was running very smoothly, and the deputy director Song Youyou also had a lot of free time.

That day, after lunch, Song Youyou sat at the desk and read letters.

The letter was sent from Beijing and talked about some recent developments at home.

The first piece of letter was about Gu’s father, who had unexpectedly been promoted.

The reason was that he had taken measures in advance to allow the people of Beijing to keep surplus food and coal for heating, so that when the frost disaster came, they were well prepared and not in a panic.

Although it was difficult, we managed to get through it. At least no one froze to death or starved to death. It was much better than other urban areas.

The second piece of letter paper talked about the situation of Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu.

Ever since Grandma Gu’s legs and feet recovered, Grandpa Gu no longer has any worries and can use his remaining energy to participate in some work.

Grandma Gu also complained a little, saying that since the family situation was getting better and better, some people who had not interacted much with her before suddenly became active again, visiting her home from time to time, disturbing her peace.

The third piece of letter expressed my concern for her.

After reading it, Song Youyou put the letter in the drawer, planning to wait for Gu Xiao to come back from his mission and show it to him.

Gu Xiao has been on a mission for over half a month. According to the time he mentioned before, he should be back in the next two days.

Song Youyou picked up her pen to write a reply and then took it out to mail it.

As I was walking, I suddenly saw a group of people gathered by the river where they were washing clothes, pointing and talking about something.

"You damn girl, let me steal the money!"

"Do you admit it? Do you admit it?!"

This familiar voice of abuse... seems like Zhang Guizhi is scolding her daughter?

Song Youyou paused and turned.

Walking towards the river, Song Youyou was stunned when she saw it from afar.

"Is Zhang Guizhi crazy?"

No wonder Song Youyou blurted out that.

The focal point of the crowd was Zhang Guizhi, who stood by the river in a horse stance, holding Erya by the collar and pushing her whole body into the water. After the person had drunk enough water, she lifted her up to catch her breath, and then continued pushing her in.

She pressed the person down and cursed at him, and if Erya didn't say anything, she would press deeper.

Erya was just a child of four or five years old. She was pushed underwater by her mother and had no ability to resist at all. Her hands and feet were struggling and flailing uselessly.

"Hey, Erya's mother, if you have something to say, just tell her nicely. Why are you tormenting the child like this?"

"That's right, if you do this, the child will be half dead soon..."

Some people couldn't bear to see this and tried to persuade them.

Zhang Guizhi immediately turned around and yelled, "What are you yelling about? What does it have to do with you when I discipline my child?"

After being choked, the person trying to persuade him didn't dare to continue, and could only mutter under his breath: "Oh my god, how can you discipline a child like this..."

"Hey! The child isn't moving! Could he have drowned?"

Suddenly, someone shouted.

Zhang Guizhi, who had been making a lot of noise, turned around and came to her senses, and lifted Erya out of the water.

She was so busy arguing with someone just now that it seemed like... it had been a while since she had lifted him up to breathe...

Looking at Erya who closed her eyes and was motionless, Zhang Guizhi also felt a little panicked.

"You little bitch, stop pretending to be dead and open your eyes!"

"Hurry up and lay her flat." Song Youyou hurried to the river.

Seeing that Zhang Guizhi was still holding the child and motionless, he directly pulled her hands apart, laid the child flat on the ground and gave her first aid.

While Song Youyou was performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the child, Erya's father, Zhang Guizhi's husband, Xu Jianguo, was finally called over.

"Zhang, Gui, Zhi!" Xu Jianguo looked at the child on the ground, then at his wife, and immediately gritted his teeth.

Zhang Guizhi shuddered when she heard her husband's voice.

"Why are you back?"

Xu Jianguo didn't say anything, just stared at her hatefully.

Zhang Guizhi stammered, "Listen to me, it's not what you see... It was Erya, that damned girl, who stole the money. That's why I taught her a lesson..."

Although Zhang Guizhi often beat and scolded her children, this was the first time she had drowned a child.

The main reason is that she has been very unlucky recently and has been in a bad mood. Her parents blame her for not giving enough money, and she had a fight with Xu Jianguo last night.

So, when she saw Xu Erya secretly eating candy and remembered that her drawer was missing some money, she got angry and...

“Ahem…”

Xu Erya coughed a few times and spat out several mouthfuls of water.

"Hey, there's movement, there's movement."

"Yes, the child seems to be awake."

While Song Youyou was performing chest compressions on Erya, the people around her were paying close attention and would immediately speak out when they heard any movement.

"Erya..." Xu Jianguo didn't bother to reason with Zhang Guizhi and hurried over to pick up the child.

Zhang Guizhi also hurried over and said, "Xu Erya, when you wake up, tell your dad right away. Did you steal money? That's why I'm teaching you a lesson!!"

"Woo-wah--" Xu Erya was able to breathe again and immediately burst into tears.

"Don't just cry, tell your dad!"

"Zhang Guizhi! The child just woke up!" Xu Jianguo scolded.

"Wow... I didn't steal the money, I didn't steal the money, wuwu..." Xu Erya said while crying.

"You idiot! If you tell me another lie, I'll beat you to death! How did you get the money to buy candy if you didn't steal it?"

"Wow... I didn't steal the money... That candy was given to me by Xiao Huzi from Xicun... Someone asked Xiao Huzi to deliver a letter to Dr. Qiao. That person gave Xiao Huzi two dollars..."

Delivering a letter to Dr. Qiao? And paying him two dollars for the errand?

When Song Youyou heard this, she couldn't help but think more about it.

"And you're saying you're not lying! How could anyone pay two dollars for delivering a letter? Do you know how much two dollars is?"

As Zhang Guizhi said this, she slapped Erya's arm twice, and Erya cried even louder.

"Wuwuwu... I didn't lie, I really didn't lie, it was Xiaohu who told me secretly..."

"Whether this is true or not, and whether Arya stole the money or not, this is not how you, as a mother, raise your children!"

Xu Jianguo glared at Zhang Guizhi angrily, then hugged Song Youyou and thanked her.

"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake." Song Youyou waved her hand. "However, although the child is awake, for safety reasons, it's best to go to the military hospital for a checkup."

Xu Jianguo nodded. "Yes, you are right. I will take the child there right away."

As Xu Jianguo and his family left, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Song Youyou picked up the bag on the ground and prepared to go back.

At this moment, a young nurse from the military hospital came running over breathlessly:

"Comrade Song, so you're here! I finally found you...Comrade Song, our director wants to see you."

The director is looking for her?

"I'll be there right now."

When she heard that the military hospital was looking for her, Song Youyou subconsciously thought that there was some emergency injury and hurriedly followed the young nurse.

Thinking of Gu Xiao’s recent mission, his pace became quicker.

When she arrived at the military hospital, she found that there was no special injury and it was just the director who was looking for her.

Song Youyou breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she walked into the director's office and saw the dozen or so medical staff inside, she became angry again.

"What do you want to talk to me about, Director?"

"Well, for some reason, our hospital needs to organize a medical team to support our comrades on their mission. This mission is very important, and I hope you can come along."

The director said, as if remembering something, and said with satisfaction:

"I had forgotten to look for you, but luckily Qiao Shan reminded me. She said you have excellent first aid skills and would be a great help, and I couldn't agree more."

"Did Dr. Qiao Shan say that?" Song Youyou asked.

"Yes." The director nodded with a smile.

After all, Qiao Shan was someone she had led for more than a year. Although she had made mistakes before, she would be deeply pleased if she could abide by her duties and work hard for the organization in the future.

"This support mission is risky. You can carefully consider it and then give me your answer whether you will go or not."

"I……"

you……

Everyone was waiting for her answer.

Facing everyone's gaze, Song Youyou glanced at Qiao Shan who was standing beside her.

After a pause, he said, "I don't want to go."

Qiao Shan's voice was sharp: "What? You don't want to go?!!"
