Unexpectedly, the phone rang soon.

Jiang Ningning originally didn't plan to answer the call again, but thinking of the Huo family's character of not giving up until they achieve their goal, and fearing that it would trouble the comrades in the communication room to work normally, she had to answer the call again.

It was indeed Huo Chunfang, a sharp and piercing voice came over. Even though Jiang Ningning took the phone away from her ear in advance, she could still hear it clearly.

"How dare you hang up on me, you little bitch..."

After she finished scolding him, Jiang Ningning said impatiently: "Let's get to the point, or I'll hang up."

There was a sound of a deep breath coming from the other end of the phone, obviously realizing that Huo Donglin would not come to answer the phone.

Huo Chunfang reluctantly said, "How can my elder brother withdraw half of my father's salary from the garment factory? He said it was for my mother's medical treatment and he continued to withdraw it for a year and a half! That's a full 40 or 80 yuan.

What's even more outrageous is that he said that he would no longer send back his allowance, and that the share for filial piety to his parents should be saved for his mother's medical treatment.

How can that be? The whole family depends on the thirty yuan left by dad every month. How are we going to live in the future? ”

Jiang Ningning was stunned.

Huo Donglin didn't tell himself about this.

In the past five years, not counting the various food coupons and industrial coupons, he probably sent back more than four hundred yuan.

If we exclude the share for honoring the parents and take into account various ticket prices, forty or eighty yuan is almost equivalent to the living expenses of the mother and her two children that the Huo family had previously embezzled.

Did Huo Donglin ask for the living expenses back without saying a word?

Moreover, she found a plausible excuse to prevent the Huo family from blaming her for filial piety later.

For a moment, Jiang Ningning felt very complicated.

"Hello?" Huo Chunfang talked for quite some time, but there was no sound from the other end, and she suddenly became anxious.

"Mom is mentally stable now. Can you tell my eldest brother that you don't want treatment anymore?"

She is still as selfish as ever.

He is just too used to being a freeloader, having everything handed to him and has been completely spoiled by Tian Cuifen.

Jiang Ningning was speechless: "Your mother has gone crazy, and you don't even want to treat her illness? This is simply unfilial! Isn't it more important for your mother to have a few new dresses?"

Huo Chunfang buys new clothes every month, but the clothes the original owner was wearing were bought before she got married.

This marriage is totally asking for trouble!

When Wang Baochuan saw him, she felt inferior to him.

Huo Chunfang pouted and said unruly: "I won't talk to you about this. Instead, you tell my elder brother that next month is coming soon, and it happens to be the beginning of the month for him to send the allowance back."

Why is your face so big?

After thinking for a while, she added: "Buy nutritional supplements for mom."

After hearing this, Jiang Ningning finally understood.

The call was actually made by my sister-in-law at the instigation of my father-in-law Huo Weiguo, and the purpose was still to ask for money.

They are worried about living on thirty dollars, but what about the original owner? At the beginning, the mother and her two children didn't even have three dollars! !

She was holding back her anger. "I can't convey your message, but you can keep going east and go to the sea to ask your eldest brother."

Huo Chunfang's breath tightened and she pinched the phone line tightly: "What do you mean?"

"It means your elder brother was swept away by the typhoon."

Snap!

The sound of a phone hitting the table.

There was a chaotic and harsh noise coming from the other end, as if they were discussing something.

Half a minute later, Huo Chunfang's voice rang out again: "My eldest brother died? How much compensation did the army give?"

“Beep, beep…”

The response she got was a busy tone.

Jiang Ningning saw her own face reflected in the glass window. She was so angry that her face turned red, and she felt sad for Huo Donglin.

Before leaving the message room, she gave the young comrade two candies, deliberately put on a sad face, and sighed:

"After my mother-in-law went crazy, my sister-in-law was also not very clear-headed. If she calls again, tell her to get her brain treated immediately and not to come and inform me."

Huo Chunfang had a loud voice, and the young comrade had heard it a long time ago, and was also indignant.

When your dear elder brother got into trouble, aren't you concerned about whether he has been found? Instead, he asked about the pension.

Is this something that a normal person can do?

What kind of hard life did Secretary Xiao Jiang live in the past?

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." The young comrade patted his chest, feeling a sense of righteousness.

Before Jiang Ningning could leave, the Huo family called again.

He picked up the phone and repeated the original words: "Secretary Xiao Jiang asked you to get treatment for your brain right away..."

Huo Chunfang:?

-

When we returned to Courtyard No. 7, Wen Xiuying came over with a plate of crispy meat and some Daoxiangcun cakes in her hands.

Goudan saw Xia Xia running towards him with her arms open. He curled his lips and ran forward with his hands out.

As a result, Xia Xia ignored him and ran into Jiang Ningning's arms, "Mom, you were gone for fifteen minutes and twenty seconds."

Goudan stood frozen in mid-air.

It's very embarrassing.

Manman laughed unceremoniously, holding his belly. There is absolutely no room for a second egg in this family.

Thinking of Heidan, her watery eyes dimmed, and when she saw Jiang Ningning coming over, she raised an even brighter smile.

"Mom, my sister and I will stay at home."

Tilt your little head up and wait for praise.

"Great!" Jiang Ningning gave them a kiss, rewarded the two little dumplings, and welcomed Wen Xiuying and her son into the house.

As if his nickname was Goudan, he was so thick-skinned that he ran to find Xia Xia and said, "My grandpa didn't come back this year. It would be great if he came back. I'd introduce him to you. He's awesome!"

"You little brat, do you know how to make an introduction?" Wen Xiuying said in a teasing tone, but she couldn't help feeling relieved.

Ever since he was taken to the countryside to pick up his father that year, Goudan has closed himself off from the world and even stopped reading. He only stays close to his grandfather.

Later, his father went to a research base deep in the mountains, and Goudan became even more withdrawn. He likes to stick to Xia Xia, maybe because he sees the shadow of his father’s scientific research in her?

Otherwise, Wen Xiuying would have no way to explain her son's enthusiasm.

There was a pretty little girl in the compound, but his son didn't even look at her.

It is said that Goudan's grandfather is very powerful. Manman knows that his sister is determined to bring back a trophy for their mother, so he reluctantly lets him say a few words to his sister.

After counting two sentences, Manman squeezed in the middle and pulled her sister to listen to the eldest brother's speech.

Most of the time not even half a word will do.

Goudan still followed them with a smile, as if he never had any worries.

"I've asked someone to develop the photos and handed them in for you. Ningning, your photos are really stunning! I've kept a few of them and put them in this issue of the Women's Federation's newspaper." Wen Xiuying asked someone to make an extra copy, put the developed photos in an envelope, and handed them to Jiang Ningning.

"I think this set of photos is very meaningful, you might want to keep it."

Although the first meeting was not pleasant, Jiang Ningning felt that Sister Wen was so nice to her and took care of everything for her.

Seeing the three little kids staring at her eagerly, she took out the photo and showed it to them.

Black and white photos were spread out on the table in the order they were taken.

According to the footage recorded by Jiang Ningning, no matter who sees it, they will be brought into that thrilling scene in an instant.

The true meaning of the four words "rescue and emergency relief" is now concrete in the eyes of the three little ones.

These are not four light words, but are as heavy as Mount Tai, filled up bit by bit with the blood of revolution!

This is just on the island, not the typhoon landing point.

In the worst-hit areas of Jiangcheng, what about the sacrifices and bravery captured by the camera? How shocking it must be.

Click.

Tears fell from her eyes, but were quickly stopped.

After seeing these photos, he suddenly began to feel sorry for and respect Comrade Heidan.

Um!

Just a little finger...

Unless... he can come back!
