After ten grueling years struggling to survive in the apocalypse, Ye Qing wakes up in the body of a sickly young woman in the 1970s.
For Ye Qing, this peaceful era feels like paradise compare...
Chapter 036: Escort
A few flying needles pierced into the child's body, and along with the sound of the camera clicking, the child was so frightened that he immediately started to cry loudly.
Who knew that his mouth was open, but he suddenly widened his eyes and swallowed back the cry that was about to come out of his mouth.
The young guy looked at his arm in disbelief.
There were clearly four or five long, pointed needles inserted into it. A large part of the needles had gone in, and the remaining half was still trembling and shaking.
But he didn't feel any pain at all. In fact, he gradually felt as if his elbow was wrapped by a warm current, which made him feel so comfortable that he subconsciously squinted his eyes.
Ye Qing turned his head to look at Hang Tingfang who was squatting and taking pictures not far away from him, and frowned slightly. However, he was concerned about the other person's identity as a reporter from Jicheng Newspaper, so he did not tell the reporter to stop taking pictures.
The flying needle was gently twisted, which took about ten minutes. When Ye Qing pulled out the needle again, the child's elbow, which was previously as swollen as a carrot, had now visibly subsided by more than half, and it looked like it was at best It's like a lotus arm, not as scary as before.
Ye Qing shook the child's elbow back and forth, and pinched the elbow joint hard, and asked the child:
"Does it still hurt?"
The boy immediately shook his head like a wave drum, shaking his arms and laughing: "It doesn't hurt at all."
Ye Qing then took the needle back, stood up and said to the old lady, "Auntie, you must also be careful when you go back. Let the child rest at home as much as possible during this period of time, reduce the amount of movement of the dislocated arm, especially not lift heavy objects, to avoid another dislocation."
"In addition, if conditions permit, let the child eat more eggs and vegetables to supplement protein and vitamins, which will be of great benefit to his arm recovery."
"You don't need to prescribe medicine. He's fine. The swelling will go away in a few days. Go home without worry."
This old lady had questioned Ye Qing's medical skills before, but she just saw Ye Qing adjusting bones and inserting needles with her own eyes, and the swelling on the child's arm was visible to the naked eye. How could she not understand that she had met a miracle doctor?
She immediately bowed to Ye Qing in gratitude and thanked him repeatedly, and even offered to pay for Ye Qing's medical expenses.
Ye Qing had long seen that the grandfather and grandson were not well off, and the child looked skinny. When she saw the lady was about to give her money, she quickly stopped her from moving.
"Auntie, I won't take the money. I think the little grasshopper in your grandson's hand is quite delicate and interesting. Can you give it to me?"
The old lady was stunned and immediately felt embarrassed: "How can this be possible? I just picked up a piece of reed on the way here to play with the child. This thing is worthless and can't cover the medical expenses."
Ye Qing smiled and said, "I just like this. Please give it to me. I will take it apart and study it when I get home to see how it is woven. Are you worried that I will steal your straw weaving technique after I take it back?"
How could the old lady think so? She immediately said, "It's not a matter of stealing or not. Old ladies in the countryside know this. If you want to learn, I can teach you now."
Ye Qing cheerfully declined the old lady's offer to teach him on the spot, saying that he had something to do for a while and would study it slowly when he got back. After successfully getting the straw grasshopper, he let the old lady take her grandson away.
When Ye Qing turned around again, Hang Tingfang had already put down the camera and was looking at her with a smile.
There were two people standing next to her.
A man who was dressed similarly to Hang Tingfang and also had a press card hanging around his neck, probably a colleague of Hang Tingfang at the newspaper.
The other was the commune secretary who had previously humbled himself and apologized to Ye Qing in the commune.
At this moment, the three people were staring at her closely. Apparently, they had seen Ye Qing treating the dislocated little boy just now.
Ye Qing smiled and nodded to the three of them as a greeting, then prepared to leave.
At this moment, Hang Tingfang suddenly spoke, and asked with a determined look:
"You are Ye Qingye, the educated youth from Kaoshan Village, right?"
Ye Qing was stunned and raised his head to look at Hang Tingfang.
Seeing Ye Qing's reaction, Hang Tingfang became more certain of her guess. She smiled, took out a document from her backpack and handed it to Ye Qing:
"Let me introduce myself again. I am the deputy editor-in-chief of Jicheng Daily. Under the instructions of my superiors, I came to Jiaotan County specifically to interview you."
Ye Qing didn't understand what was going on, so he subconsciously pointed at himself:
"Interview me? Why?"
Hang Tingfang looked at the surrounding environment and said with a smile: "How about we go back to the production brigade where you joined the team and find a suitable place first? It just so happens that we will go to the production brigade where you joined the team and take some photos later."
Ye Qing shrugged and refused subconsciously:
"I have some business to run in town."
Hang Tingfang immediately smiled and said, "Is the town far from here? Take our car and I'll take you there!"
Ye Qing was a little puzzled and wary of the reporter's enthusiasm and familiarity, but the other party came with an instruction document with a big red seal on it, and she vaguely guessed that this matter might be related to the old comrade, so after thinking about it, she still did not refuse.
"Okay, let's go."
Ye Qing followed the reporter towards the car.
The commune secretary, who had been silent the whole time, now looked at the little girl with a complicated look.
He almost lost his black veil hat today because of this little girl, and even the entire Red Flag Commune he managed almost became notorious. Originally, he should have been very angry and disgusted with this little girl.
But who could have imagined that this little girl was actually the educated youth from the city who came to Kaoshantun to work in the countryside, the 16-year-old medical genius Ye Qing, who was so skilled and gifted that Wu Yongbing almost whispered to her yesterday?
The commune secretary didn't believe it at all. He was absolutely sure that Wu Yongbing was exaggerating on purpose in order to get him to approve the written materials for building a health station in Kaoshantun as soon as possible.
But just now, Ye Qing actually cured a child with a dislocated arm with flying needles in front of them, which directly overturned his previous doubts.
Moreover, it was only at this time that he found out that the two reporters from Jicheng were actually going to Kaoshantun to interview the young educated youth in the city. This made the commune secretary's mind turn around, and all kinds of thoughts kept flashing through his mind.
Obviously, he couldn't figure out why these reporters wanted to interview a teenage girl.
However, this commune secretary has been in this position for so many years, so he must have a keen eye. In this day and age, the fact that reporters from the capital are willing to take the trouble to travel such a long distance from Jicheng to the Great Northern Wilderness for an interview is enough to show that the educated youth from this city are not simple.
Regardless of whether it was due to her own strength or some powerful backer behind her, it reminded him of one thing, that is, the female educated youth in front of him named Ye Qing was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
After thinking all this through, the commune secretary felt mixed emotions.
On the one hand, he was of course happy that such a capable person had come to the production brigade under his jurisdiction. After all, if this educated youth did something big in Kaoshantun in the future, he, as the secretary of the commune, would definitely benefit from it.
On the other hand, from today's incident of reciting an article, it can be seen that Ye Qing is an unruly troublemaker who is not so easy to control. If things go wrong, he might start a massacre and things could easily end badly.
In short, the secretary was in a mixture of pain and joy at the moment, and was a little unsure whether he should pretend to be aloof and reserved, or try to curry favor with this urban educated youth.
Ye Qing had no idea that this commune secretary had so many inner thoughts.
After getting in the car, she sat upright. She didn't look around inside the car, nor did she ask the two reporters anything. She acted calmly and composedly, as if she had just hitchhiked on the side of the road.
Naturally, Hang Tingfang noticed this kind of performance.
She silently added two more impression labels to this interview target: smart and clever, calm and confident.
Don't underestimate these two things. Hang Tingfang is nearly 40 years old. Among the girls she has come into contact with over the years, whether they are from cities or rural areas, the number of those who can do both of these things at the same time can definitely be counted on five fingers.
Just from this short contact of less than an hour, she saw many qualities in this girl that were worth appreciating and learning. The key point was that this child was only sixteen years old, but she could behave so gracefully, soberly and wisely. Hang Tingfang dared to conclude that in time, this girl would be something extraordinary.
The car drove all the way to the town and stopped in front of the post office at Ye Qing's request.
Ye Qing quickly got out of the car to look for Xu Xianzhen. As soon as she entered the door, she called out "Sister Xu". Xu Xianzhen, who was sitting in the office bored, suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Qing in surprise.
"Girl, are you here to pick up your stamp album?"
Ye Qing nodded and patted his bag, indicating to the other party that the money had been brought.
Xu Xianzhen immediately ran out, dragged Ye Qing and hurried home anxiously, as if he was afraid that Ye Qing would go back on his word.
Before leaving today, Ye Qing had decided to come to the town, so he prepared the two hundred yuan in advance. He ran to the back of the agricultural technology station, took out the exquisite stamp album, carefully checked the stamps inside to make sure there were no missing ones, and then readily handed the bundle of twenty stamps to Xu Xianzhen.
In front of Ye Qing, Sister Xu opened the pile of big balls and counted them carefully several times. After confirming that she had counted them correctly, she immediately smiled and said thank you to Ye Qing enthusiastically.
Ye Qing got the stamp album she wanted, so she didn't delay any longer and turned back to the car. After all, there were two big reporters and a commune secretary waiting for her at the corner of the street.
"Hey, big sister."
They were almost reaching the street in front when Xu Xianzhen suddenly spoke again hesitantly.
Ye Qing was puzzled: "What?"
"That's right, the peanuts you gave me yesterday were really delicious. Do you still have some?"
"Didn't I tell you before that my son is getting married soon? I want to pick up some peanuts and dye them with red yeast rice on the wedding day. They will be perfect as wedding candies to entertain guests."
"So if you have any leftover peanuts, could you give some to Sister Xu?"
"Sister Xu doesn't want you for nothing. If you need anything, you can tell me and I'll exchange it with you. Is that okay with you?"
Afraid that Ye Qing would not believe it, the elder sister hurriedly added an explanation,
"There's nothing I don't know on this street. It's not just the post office and my husband's agricultural technology station, but also the supply and marketing cooperative, the police station, and the bus station. Anyone who works at these stations will receive some receipts and material benefits every month. The supply and marketing cooperative will sometimes have defective products that don't require receipts. If you need anything in the future but can't buy it, you can come to me and I can find out for you."
Ye Qing was really surprised at this moment.
She hadn't found the black market when she was in Shencheng, and she didn't even dare to think about it when she came to Kaoshantun, a new place where she was unfamiliar with. Moreover, she heard that there was a barter market every month in Qingshan Town. Anyway, she had money to spend for the time being, so she completely gave up the idea of making money on the black market.
But now, this Ms. Xu took the initiative to personally bring a sales channel to her.
Although Ye Qing didn't know much about Sister Xu, she felt that she should give it a try first.
If this person is too scheming and difficult to deal with, the worst that can happen is that she will just stop associating with him in the future.
Of course, the most important point is that Ye Qing really needs to solve the problem of travel now, but bicycle tickets are not so easy to get. She has no channels in this regard, so she can only ask others for help. If this Sister Xu is familiar with everyone in this street, maybe she can really help her get a bicycle ticket.
Ye Qing immediately smiled and said:
"Sister Xu, those peanuts are not mine. They were given to me by my aunt in our village. I'm not sure if my aunt has more. I'll ask for you when I get home. How many do you want?"
Who would complain about throwing away too many peanuts? Moreover, the handful of peanuts that Ye Qing gave her that day were full of kernels, and they were obviously top-quality. Xu Xianzhen immediately said:
"I don't mind if it's three or five kilograms, but if it's more than ten or twenty kilograms, I can eat it. The Chinese New Year is just a few months away. Whether it's fried as a snack or deep-fried into peanuts as a side dish, it's a good thing."
Ye Qing sighed inwardly, this elder sister is really greedy enough, she still wants ten or twenty kilograms, without even looking at the current situation, which family can produce so much food? Peanuts are different from other things, this thing can be used to extract oil, who has so many peanuts and would be willing to take them out?
But Ye Qing would definitely not say this out loud. She was not afraid of Sister Xu's greed, and she even hoped that she would be greedy. If the other party was serious and liked to do things according to the guidelines, then Ye Qing would not bother wasting her time on this transaction, instead of getting nothing and getting into trouble for no reason.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go back and ask around for you."
Ye Qing smiled, waved her hand and left, returning to the street. Over there, Hang Tingfang and a few others were still waiting for her in the car with smiles on their faces, and they did not show any impatience because of the short delay she had made.
Ye Qing hurriedly thanked Hang Tingfang, saying that his business had been settled and he could return to Kaoshantun.
Hang Tingfang's eyes fell on the stamp album in Ye Qing's arms. She seemed to want to ask Ye Qing what it was, but considering that they had just met and were not very familiar with each other, she felt that it was a bit presumptuous to ask such a question.
"Let's go." Hang Tingfang retracted his gaze and signaled the male reporter and driver next to him to drive.
The car restarted and soon left Qingshan Town. Ye Qing looked out the window inadvertently, and this glance made her vision suddenly fixed and her eyes widened.
Because just as the car slowly turned toward the main road leading to Kaoshantun, Ye Qing saw a man and a woman arguing in the corner of the road.
The key point is that she knows both the man and the woman!
The girl is the daughter of the captain, Comrade Wu Yueying who was reborn or traveled through time.
As for that man, Ye Qing had just identified him yesterday and found out who he was from Meng Jia.
That’s right, it was the old educated youth Jian Ming who pushed Li Yunbo out to be a meat shield yesterday!
Wow~ ~ Ye Qing couldn't help but whistle loudly in his heart.
Because she seemed to have discovered another big secret of Captain Wu's daughter!
Watching Wu Yueying and Jian Ming entangled on the side of the road, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong with their words and actions. At that moment, some of the doubts in Ye Qing's mind were instantly resolved.
She had suspected that Meng Jia's being pushed into the river might be related to the third place in the public examination of the commune last year, but Meng Jia said that she did not find any signs that Jian Ming and Liu Mei were too close.
And the fact that she went into the river to save Meng Jia was also questioned by Wu Yueying. The daughter of Captain Wu seemed to blame her for meddling in other people's business.
If we only look at the relationship between Wu Yueying and Meng Jia, there is no intersection between the two, and there is no grudge between them, so Wu Yueying has no motive to harm Meng Jia;
But what if the relationship between this Wu Yueying and that Jian Ming is not proper?
Then everything seemed to fit together. Jian Ming was the biggest beneficiary after Meng Jia's accident, and he only needed to command another person to charge and attack for him, and he could be perfectly invisible throughout the entire incident.
The person who charged into the enemy's formation for him was none other than Captain Wu's daughter, Wu Yueying!
After sorting out the complicated web of relationships, Ye Qing found it unbelievable and even dumbfounded.
Wu Yueying and Jian Ming actually had an affair? No wonder Wu Yueying reacted so violently when she came back, even threatening to break off the engagement with Auntie Gu's eldest son at the cost of her own life.
The question is, when did these two get together, and how come no one in Kaoshantun noticed it? Aren’t those aunties and uncles boasting that they are at the forefront of eating melons and have first-hand information? But such a big melon was hanging on the vine, ripe and about to burst, and no one saw it? !
Ye Qing silently gave a bad review to the aunties and uncles in Kaoshantun!
As if noticing that Ye Qing had been looking out the window, Hang Tingfang could not help but look out along Ye Qing's line of sight:
"Did you see someone you know?"
Ye Qing shook his head hurriedly: "Nothing, just take a look."
The car quickly drove into Kaoshantun.
Perhaps it was the first time in many years that such a high-end car entered the village. After hearing the news, the elderly and children in the village who did not go to work in the fields all ran out to see the rare items.
When Ye Qing and the commune secretary got off the car, there was no need to give them candies this time. Immediately, a few smart guys ran to the field to call the team leader and the old branch secretary.
Grandma Zou was at home, and Ye Qing didn't want the reporters to bother the old lady. He was just wondering where to take her when the commune secretary said directly:
"Go to the threshing ground. There must be an empty granary now. Ask the brigade secretary to take one out for the reporter to interview!"
Having said that, without waiting for the team leader and the old branch secretary to come back, he took the lead and led the others to the threshing ground.
After arriving at the rice drying field, they asked the woman who was drying rice there to open the door of the granary. The team leader and the old branch secretary also heard the news and hurried over.
Wu Yongbing didn't know what had happened. Why did the commune secretary come to their village for no reason and bring two unfamiliar faces with him?
He looked at Hang Tingfang and the male reporter in gray jackets and felt that their outfits looked familiar. He paused for a moment before looking at the commune secretary in confusion:
"Secretary Lai, what are you doing?"
Lai Guochang was about to explain it, but Hang Tingfang had already stepped forward and stretched out his hand towards Wu Yongbing:
"Captain Wu, right? Hello, I'm a reporter from Jicheng Daily. My name is Hang Tingfang, and this is my colleague Huang Kuangyin. We've been jointly commissioned by the public security agency and the Jicheng Propaganda Committee to do a special interview with Comrade Ye Qing."
This confused everyone present: "Why do you want to interview Xiaoye the educated youth?"
Hang Tingfang took out the stamped document in his hand and explained with a smile:
"A week ago, Comrade Ye Qing took the No. 56 train to Jiaotan County to join the queue. On the train, he bravely performed a heroic act and knocked out a hostage-taker with a sewing needle, allowing the public security organs to successfully arrest the criminal. At the same time, he bought the public security organs very precious golden time to investigate the case."
"The public security organs used this criminal to follow the clues and uncovered a seven-member human trafficking gang, allowing more than a dozen children who had been abducted to be quickly rescued. Now these children have been in touch with their biological parents, and most of them have returned safely to their original families."
"In addition, Comrade Ye also caught a female thief on the train. With the clues provided by the female thief, he destroyed the thieves' den operating at Pingxian Railway Station, caught more than 20 pickpockets, and recovered thousands of yuan in stolen money."
"In view of the outstanding contributions Comrade Ye has made to the public security organs, the Propaganda Committee believes that it is necessary to make a detailed interview report on Comrade Ye's glorious deeds and commend this heroine who protected the people's property and lives."
After hearing what Hang Tingfang said, several cadres were collectively stunned, even Ye Qing was Spartan.
She had never imagined that what she did so easily that day would lead to such a bizarre follow-up more than a week after she went to the countryside to work in the production team.
She could understand the story of the female thief mentioned later. It must be that after she handed Song Huilian over to the old comrade, the female thief, in order to gain merit and protect herself, betrayed the old beggar gang that performed monkey shows at Pingxian Railway Station.
But as for the incident in which the merchant in front was knocked unconscious, she actually handled it very covertly. She did not show any strange behavior from beginning to end. No one on the train suspected her at the time. So how did the people from the public security agency know that she was the one who did it?
With such doubts, Ye Qing entered the temporary interview room and accepted a face-to-face interview with Hang Tingfang.
"I did some research before coming here. There are seven people in your family. Except for you, the rest have gone to the northwest to settle and guard the border. So, are you afraid to come to the Great Northern Wilderness alone?"
Hang Tingfang's questions were very sharp from the beginning.
But her question did not make Ye Qing feel nervous. Instead, the girl smiled and raised the silver needle box in her bag and asked Hang Tingfang:
"Do you think that a man who dares to throw needles at human traffickers and female thieves would be afraid to go to the Great Northern Wilderness to join the production team alone?"
"In fact, I feel like this may be my second home. After I came here, I felt that everything here was very familiar, including the white mountains and black waters, the endless golden rice fields, and the lovely villagers in this village."
"When I got off the bus and saw these beautiful views, I couldn't help but burst into tears, because I felt that I was born to be here. They are beautiful and I have found my spiritual home here."
As a journalist, Hang Tingfang has met and interviewed many people, so she is very good at judging people and can tell whether what each person says is true or false.
At this moment, sitting in this not-so-bright granary, she could feel that the love in the eyes of this sixteen-year-old city girl was truly from the bottom of her heart. She was so sincere and straightforward, but it was this sincerity that made Hang Tingfang, who was always calm and self-restrained, couldn't help but be moved.
"This is indeed a bit unexpected for me. I thought that children like you who had to go to the countryside to work as farmers because of the policy would be more or less averse to the countryside, but I really don't sense any negative emotions from you."
"To be honest, before I came here, I spoke to Mr. Yang from the Foreign Affairs Bureau on the phone. The old man admired you very much and kept describing to me a very smart and interesting young man he met on the train."
"The Romanian delegation we received this time has successfully completed their visit and returned home safely. Mr. Yang said that the delegation encountered an emergency on the No. 56 train, and it was you who saved the day and helped them resolve two crises in succession."
"However, due to the special and confidential nature of this visit, it is not convenient to announce your two achievements to the public. That is why Mr. Yang kept telling me on the phone that this is actually very unfair to you."
"You have inherited great medical skills and could have been working in a big hospital in a big city, but you have to come to this small village to work on the land. I thought you would be dissatisfied and blame others, but I feel like I am a little narrow-minded."
Ye Qing couldn't help but laugh:
“Maybe you haven’t done enough homework.”
"I am the third of five children in my family. Actually, I have been invisible since I was a child. Maybe I am used to being ignored by my family, so I don't have much sense of belonging to the old streets and tube buildings in Shanghai."
"My parents and siblings don't have much affection for me, but what's interesting is that in the past ten years of my growth, I have met countless noble people. Even though we are not related by blood, these people have taught me a lot. My mentor taught me medical skills, my alma mater taught me kindness and tolerance, and my head teacher gave me motherly care. This made me feel that people don't have to be obsessed with how much they have gained, but how much they have given to the world."
"I think this may be the meaning of my coming to this world. As long as there is love in your heart, anywhere can be poetry and distant places. The countryside and the city may be worlds apart in the eyes of many people, but for me, there is no difference."
"I enjoy the peace and tranquility at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and I am willing to devote my lifelong passion to the development of Beidahuang. Just as the leader said, there is a lot to be done in the countryside. My presence here shows that I am needed here. Whether I am working in the fields or seeing patients in the countryside, there will always be a place for me to be useful."
"And I am very confident about the future of Beidahuang. I believe that in the near future, Beidahuang will become Beida Cang. I will be at the foot of Changbai Mountain and witness the earth-shaking changes that have taken place on this land. I will see that the children in this village will have a bright future!"
Hang Tingfang looked at Ye Qing in astonishment and didn't say anything for a long time.
Many years later, Hang Tingfang mentioned her interview with Ye Qing in her memoirs, writing:
——At that moment, I felt that the thin little girl sitting in front of me was full of endless power. Her eyes were firm and sacred, like a pearl covered in dust. Even in the wilderness, no one could stop her from shining!
Later, Hang Tingfang gradually dug out Ye Qing's experience on Train No. 56, including her mentality when she rescued the hostages and caught the female thief, and the specific situation at that time. After the face-to-face interview, Hang Tingfang went to the village to find the team leader, the old branch secretary, and a few randomly selected villagers to get a side view of Ye Qing's performance after going to the countryside.
Then Hang Tingfang unexpectedly learned that Ye Qing went into the river to save people on the first day he went to the countryside, and then saved the fetus of a villager who was about to have a miscarriage, and later killed wild boars and performed surgery on a young person with a ruptured spleen. In short, one thing after another was completely beyond the reporter's expectations, and Hang Tingfang almost popped his eyes out when he heard them.
Any one of these examples would be enough for them to write a report and put it in the most eye-catching position on the front page, but these things all happened to one person. How to choose and how to be detailed enough was actually the biggest problem encountered by the two great journalists on this trip. Hang Tingfang felt that she was suffering from indecision-making difficulty.
Afterwards, Hang Tingfang went to the fields again and happened to see Ye Qing working in the fields, competing with other aunts in the village in cutting rice ears.
Watching Ye Qing dancing with the sickle in her hand, while competing with others, she would occasionally turn around and stick out her tongue and make faces at the aunts and aunts who were lagging behind her, making jokes and provocations, and laughing freely and openly.
In the sunlight, the young yet energetic smiling face under the straw hat was so beautiful that one could not take their eyes away. Hang Tingfang almost instinctively raised his camera to capture this beautiful scene.
It was this photo that instantly gave Hang Tingfang a burst of inspiration. She felt that she already knew how to write this report.
After the interview, Hang Tingfang and Huang Kuangyin did not dare to delay any longer. They had to hurry back to get the report out, so they thanked Captain Wu for his invitation to stay and his lunch reception and left in a hurry.
But the people in Kaoshantun were in an uproar over the arrival of the reporters.
Although after just a few days of getting to know each other, everyone already knew what kind of person the newcomer Ye Zhiqing was, but the fact that he had reporters from Jicheng chasing him for interviews and reports was still beyond everyone's cognition.
The Jicheng Daily was a nationally famous official media newspaper at that time. In the impression of ordinary people, it was definitely a high-end unit that ordinary people could not reach. To be able to be featured in such a newspaper, or even have a reporter directly write an interview to report on personal deeds, was definitely a great honor. Some families who were more exaggerated would probably worship this newspaper and leave it to their children as a family heirloom in the future.
Even though Ye Qing had only come to Kaoshan Village to join the production team and had only been there for less than a week, the entire village felt proud of him. They were talking about him and were honored. They were as happy as if the person who was about to be featured in the national newspaper was one of their own.
Some were so exaggerated that they almost went straight to their mother's house and the homes of their aunts and uncles to spread the news. Every household gathered together to discuss the matter after work. Those who had originally been particularly fond of Ye Qing were now trying their best to get this new educated youth from the city into their household registers.
If a family could marry such a capable daughter-in-law, it would bring honor to the family, and their status in the village would instantly rise several levels!
Ye Qing didn't know that she was about to face something that would give her a headache, that is, the threshold of Grandma Zou's house would soon be demolished by the matchmaker.
She was thinking about something.
In today's interview, she also got a lot of information from Hang Tingfang and sorted out the specific circumstances of the interview.
In this personal interview, Hang Tingfang said that it was jointly commissioned by the Public Security Bureau and the Propaganda Committee, but Hang Tingfang also contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Mr. Yang mentioned by Hang Tingfang should be the old comrade that Ye Qing met on the train before.
Even Ye Qing had some doubts that the old man might be the one in charge of this interview.
It is not difficult to understand why the public security authorities quickly identified her as the culprit when the trafficker fainted during the hostage-taking.
Because after the human trafficker is taken back by the public security police, he will definitely be examined by a doctor, and the sewing needle in his body will definitely be discovered.
Coincidentally, Ye Qing had used a sewing needle to stab a spy in the VIP area afterwards, so once the two cases were linked together and the clues were compared, investigators would find that the method and the tools used to stab the spy were the same, so it was no surprise that they knew she was the one who caught the trafficker.
Ye Qing actually didn't understand what Mr. Yang meant at first. She thought that this old comrade simply felt that she owed him because she had helped him so much on the train last time and didn't give her some compensation.
But later, Ye Qing was working in the fields, cutting rice ears, and slowly he realized that something was wrong.
If you just want to compensate her, can't you just give her a certificate of merit and some supplies? There's no need to make such a big fuss.
Unless, this old man did it on purpose, wanting her to become famous and the most prominent person, so that those units would endorse her and support her, and protect her in such a special way!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing couldn't help but shudder.
She felt that the explanation she gave to the old man on the train must have been full of loopholes, which made the old man realize that she was lying!
But perhaps because Ye Qing's words were vague, the old man made up some ideas in his mind. He thought that the reason why Ye Qing deliberately concealed the truth was because her master might have been persecuted for special reasons and was in prison, and it was not convenient to tell outsiders.
So the old man not only did not pursue her lies and the source of her medical knowledge, but gave her 100% tolerance and trust.
Even when they realized that her medical skills might arouse suspicion from the intelligence department and cause her to suffer a bad fate, they stepped forward to protect her and used media reports to expose her directly and generously to the sun, making it difficult for certain people with ulterior motives to take action against her for the time being.
The more Ye Qing thought about it, the more she felt that this was the reasonable truth. No wonder yesterday when she was at Jiaotan County Hospital, she just asked the dean to call an old comrade, and the hospital immediately relented and met her request.
Thinking that in a place unknown to her, this old man whose name she couldn't even remember, was mediating with various parties for her and risking his entire career to protect her, Ye Qing's eyes couldn't help but well up in tears at this moment.
Ye Qing felt that this might be the meaning of her coming to this era.
Although she is just a lonely soul, she does not feel lonely and confused when she comes to this world.
Because in this era, there are so many interesting and loving people. The warmth and touch they gave healed Ye Qing's incomplete heart little by little; the radiance of humanity in them also continued to shine and guide. Follow the path she takes.
While Ye Qing was moved to tears, on the ridge of the field a few dozen meters away from her, there was another person with red eyes staring at her with anger and resentment.
This person was none other than Yin Shuang, who failed to steal the wild boar and ended up in debt.
She didn't know how much Li Yunbo's treatment would cost. In fact, since Ye Qing had performed the surgery herself, at least Ye Qing would not ask her for the surgery fee. This amount alone would save her a lot of compensation.
But she still felt dissatisfied, thinking that the reason she was in trouble was entirely because of Ye Qing.
If Ye Qing had not jumped out to kill the wild boar for the sake of attention, then when she came down from the mountain, the wild boars would have been wreaking havoc in the fields, and the whole village would have been in chaos. Li Juan would have been hiding in the fields, and would not have had the time to return to the village, so no one would have seen the secret of her hiding in the thatched cottage at the end of the village with the little wild boar in her arms.
So she hated Li Juan, the people in the village, the old educated youth, and was also angry at Ye Qing who hunted wild boars.
This kind of hatred is actually really unreasonable, but Yin Shuang doesn't care. She didn't do it on purpose, but she was the one who suffered the loss, so she has reason to blame everyone.
Originally, she only had three points of hatred towards Ye Qing, but she couldn't resist because Hang Tingfang and Huang Kuangyin came down today.
Yin Shuang was still working in the fields when she heard villagers talking about two reporters from Jicheng Daily coming to the village to interview a civilian hero who had bravely arrested a trafficker on the train.
As soon as these words came out, Yin Shuang felt excited and ecstatic.
Catching traffickers, isn't this the person you're talking about? The Jicheng Daily actually came to interview her?
Yin Shuang was almost unable to stand on the ground, and couldn't wait to go ashore to find the two reporters. However, since these reporters were looking for her, the captain would definitely come to inform her, so she could only keep reminding herself to stay calm and not to be anxious or panic.
She kept imagining in her mind what the reporters would ask her when they arrived, and she even kept making up a script in her mind, simulating over and over in her mind how she would calmly answer the questions raised by the reporters when she faced them.
Having imagined it countless times, she felt that she was fully prepared, and stretched her neck to look toward the edge of the field thousands of times with anticipation. However, what she waited for was not the figure of a reporter, but a piece of bad news that made her unbelievable and even dizzy.
The two reporters came to interview Ye Qing instead of her?!
