Yu Deshui boasted, "We know the night watchmen, they're all buddies, so it's convenient. Whenever you want to eat, just mention our names, it'll be easier."

These two brothers not only brought several large fish, but also caught a lot of shrimp.

Jiang Qiao stopped being polite with them. Anyway, she needed to replenish her energy, and she felt guilty eating secretly. This was fine.

"Thanks, I won't stand on ceremony. Have you eaten yet? Please stay for dinner, and I'd also like to learn more about the situation at the commune."

Yu Deshui chuckled, "Even if you don't want us to stay, we'll still eat here. Uncle Liu has already treated us to a meal."

When Stone saw the big fish swimming in the bathtub, the little guy got excited and pounced on it to take a good look.

Staring wide-eyed at Jiang Qiao, he said, "Sister, it's huge! One fish is enough for our whole family to have a meal."

Jiang Qiao felt a pang of sadness for her younger brother. "We'll keep these for ourselves. Once my leg is better, I'll take you to get some fish. Haha, we have inside connections, so we're not afraid."

She invited Da Tou and Yu Deshui to sit down. The two were not strangers. When Jiang Qiao was sick, they often sent fish to her home to make soup. Wen Jingwan was also familiar with them.

As everyone ate and chatted, Jiang Qiao was most curious about who was now the top leader of the commune.

"Sigh, we've inquired about this person, and it seems he's not a local. We don't know anything else about him. He's only been working here a few days, and he seems like a very serious person."

We didn't dare to ask around, but I've witnessed him get angry, and it's truly terrifying! My god, he's much more explosive than the previous one; he seems to have a terrible temper.

Jiang Qiao muttered to herself, "They were transferred from another place, and I don't even know what they did before?"

Wang Datou chimed in, "I heard that he looks like someone who has served in the military, but we don't know for sure, so we didn't dare ask directly."

These past few days, the work group from the county has been constantly messing with our people, and the top leader isn't very satisfied either.

Well, I think this top leader is a pretty upright person. His subordinates wanted to throw him a welcome banquet, but he ignored them.

Jiang Qiao nodded knowingly. "Does this person have any other hobbies?"

Yu Deshui shook his head. "I can't tell yet. He's only been working for a few days. Let's get to know him better. Judging from his behavior, he doesn't seem like one of those people who come down from the county. He doesn't like the kind of person who's ambitious and eager for quick success."

Jiang Qiao patted the two brothers on the shoulders and said, "You two do a good job. We'll contact you anytime if anything comes up. You two try to come over at night, since our family is in a sensitive situation right now. You two stay in the shadows, understand?"

The two nodded. "Don't worry, we know what we're doing."

The two brothers understood Jiang Qiao's purpose: he didn't want anything else, he just wanted to take care of the family.

"Jiang Qiao, I heard from my aunt that you're getting married now that you've recovered your health?"

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "I'm not getting any younger. Who would have thought that four years would pass in the blink of an eye? If we don't get married soon, our children will be so different from yours. Have you two had another baby?"

The two people smiled and nodded. "It's a pity you missed it, but your aunt has already given you your gift, so don't bother giving any more."

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "I want some, but I can't do anything about it right now. I can barely move myself. Here, eat more."

Both men had families, so after the meal, Ma Liu gave each of them some dried goods to take back.

"It's nothing special. I'll just take it home and add some dishes for my wife and kids. I'll come back when I have time."

After seeing the two people off, Jiang Qiao tried to contact Song Shutian, but there was still no response. She had no idea what the guy was up to.

She couldn't find anyone, and her health wasn't good right now. The only thing she could do was to get herself back in shape as quickly as possible. The things outside were waiting for her to go out and deal with.

Jiang Qiao started giving herself acupuncture these past few days, and fortunately, the effect was quite obvious. A few days later, she could walk without anyone's help.

Moreover, she has now resumed exercising. In the morning, she takes her younger brother and Jian Ling for a jog to the river. The three of them, one absorbs the morning purple energy, while the other two teach and learn.

Under the supervision of his older sister Jiang Qiao these past few days, Shi Tou has mastered the internal energy cultivation method. Even when no one is watching, the little guy can learn to practice the energy on his own.

Sure enough, you can tell from his morning exercise that the little guy is much more agile than before.

Although the stone is small, the Gu family's genes are evident here; the child is smart, as we've all experienced, so we practice even more diligently.

The little guy understood perfectly well that compared to his older sister, he was nothing special, just a child's play.

Look at his sister, she's been bedridden for four years and just recovered. Her skills are so impressive, even he's envious.

So now, the little guy has to practice every morning and evening. Fortunately, Jian Ling is with him, so Jiang Qiao doesn't have to worry too much.

After lunch, Jiang Qiao finally got in touch with Song Shutian. When she saw the telegram he sent, her tone was not like that of a senior section chief.

"Jiang Qiao, I'm at a loss, I don't know what to do?"

Jiang Qiao snorted to herself, thinking that this person was most likely in trouble.

"Who's in trouble?"

Song Shutian hesitated for a while, but finally sent the message: "Zhao and Zuo, Lao Jiang is in the hospital."

Upon seeing these words, Jiang Qiao's heart skipped a beat. Both of these people were in trouble. Who should she turn to for help regarding her uncle's situation?

"And you, are you all set?

Song Shutian sighed. He was also walking on thin ice. However, he didn't want Jiang Qiao to worry. After all, they had fought side by side for so long, and their revolutionary friendship was the strongest.

"It's alright, no problem for now."

Jiang Qiao sighed, her brows furrowed. Seeing those words from the other party, she didn't feel much relieved at all.

"If you want to protect them, why don't you just arrest them? It's better if you arrest them than if someone else does. Let your father keep things calm."

Song Shutian gave a wry smile. This girl's thoughts coincided with Zuo Zhankui's, but the idea of ​​him doing it himself felt awkward no matter how he thought about it. Even Jiang Qiao said so, so this was probably the best plan.

"I'll listen to you. Take good care of yourself and don't act impulsively."

Jiang Qiao thought of Jiang Jinyu's health and felt a lump in her throat. "How is Lao Jiang? Can he hold on? Or should we send him over?"

"It's alright, we don't need it for now. Remember to send some good medicine over. If it's convenient for you, you can come and take a look."

After the two finished talking, Jiang Qiao packed up the equipment and sighed inwardly. The situation there was definitely much more tense than Song Shutian had described. The key issue was that her own problems hadn't been resolved yet. She hoped that Jiang Jinyu's health could hold up.

She got up and went to her spatial storage to find a lot of good medicines. After preparing them, she planned to mail them to Jiang Jinyu when she went to the city.

Jiang Qiao went out for some fresh air. Wen Jingwan and the others were enjoying the cool air in the courtyard. Seeing their daughter come out, they called Jiang Qiao over to discuss going to the city to buy things.

"You don't need to buy anything. I'll have my friend deliver it secretly later. Just make a list of what you need."

"Grandpa Qiao, I plan to go to town tomorrow to collect our food rations and take care of some other business."
