In the county town, Yun Yumei, who had been hiding in a cold house, sneaked out like a mouse. She was so hungry. There was a stove and firewood in the kitchen, but no food. She had eaten all the food she brought with her, so she had to run out in the rain to buy food.
But the state-owned restaurant was closed at this time. The streets were dark and raining. There was not even a single person walking around, and it was impossible to find anything to eat.
Finally, she knocked on the door of a fellow villager's house, lied that she was separated from her family, paid one dollar to ask the fellow to help cook a bowl of noodles, took some food, and then hurried back to the house to eat more.
That night, Yun Yumei didn't dare to sleep at all. She hid in the quilt and cried silently. She even got up in the middle of the night to send a telegram.
She grew up under the care of her parents and had never suffered any hardship. Her parents were like the sky to her. But suddenly the sky collapsed, everything was gone, and she became a wanted criminal nationwide.
It only takes a moment to fall from the clouds into the abyss.
Yun Yumei cannot accept the reality and has poor psychological endurance. When something happens, she just cries and cries. Until now, she has never thought about getting out of the predicament by herself. She has been sending telegrams urging people to rescue her, and betting her entire future on others.
As for seeking revenge on Yun Huaying, she didn't even dare to think about it now. She just wanted to escape from Yang County as soon as possible.
She saw with her own eyes this morning that the person who arrested her mother was Long Wei. She knew very well what kind of person Long Wei was. If her mother fell into Long Wei's hands, there would be only one way to go, and that was death.
She also knew her mother's true identity. She wanted to cut off ties with her now, but it was no use. Even if she cut off ties and confessed all the bad things her parents had done, she would eventually be imprisoned for life or sent to the most remote place to serve her sentence.
She couldn't imagine such a day and would rather die than go there.
Therefore, she now placed all her hopes on her godmother. She felt that as long as her godmother was not caught, she would have food to eat by following her and would not have to worry about being caught now.
She stayed awake in her room all night, completely unaware that someone was watching her outside all night.
The next day, the rain stopped and light snow fell from the sky.
The Dongjiang Brigade had two days off. The brigade leader organized people to load the goods early in the morning. He filled two large tractors with goods and personally led people to deliver the goods to the county town.
Yun Huaying finished her breakfast at home and came over fully armed. After they loaded their things and got on the tractor, she followed them over.
As we reached the entrance of the village, we happened to meet the tractors of the two brigades of Xigou and Xifeng on the opposite bank. Their three production teams had agreed to deliver goods together today. The two brigades on the opposite bank did not have that much goods, only one truck each, but the cloth bags were piled high, and it looked like there were quite a few of them.
At 8:20, they arrived at the gate of the Hegang Office ten minutes early.
"Wait here for a while. When He Jun comes, we can go in."
Yun Huaying made an appointment with him to meet at the gate. She jumped off the tractor first and went to the back to tell the other two captains.
After only three or four minutes, He Jun arrived on his bicycle and called her from a distance, "Sister Ying."
Yun Huaying waved at him, and when he reached her, her cold voice was tinged with a hint of laughter: "Have you had breakfast?"
"I have eaten. Have you eaten yet?"
"We eat early and finish by seven o'clock."
He Jun put his bicycle aside and took out a small cloth bag from his backpack and gave it to her. "These winter dates from the north are crispy and sweet. Here, have some."
Yun Huaying didn't hesitate to accept it and invited him: "Our team is taking a break today. Come to my house for lunch and try my cooking."
"Sister Ying, are you good at cooking?"
He Jun was a little skeptical about this. He felt that since she was so beautiful, she looked like a young lady who had never done housework. She might never have been in the kitchen, so he didn't believe in her cooking skills.
"I'm not bragging, my cooking skills are better than the chefs in state-owned restaurants." Yun Huaying rarely boasted.
The team leader standing nearby smiled and agreed, "Yun Zhiqing is a very good cook. She can make many new dishes that are not available in state-owned restaurants."
"Then I have to give it a try." He Jun was just thinking of going to the Dongjiang Brigade.
Seeing the other two team leaders approach, Yun Huaying immediately introduced them to each other: "This is Captain Zhao of the Dongjiang Brigade. The other two are the captains of the Xigou and Xifeng teams of the Red Star Commune. Their surnames are Peng and Li respectively."
After that, he introduced him to the three village cadres: "This guy's surname is He, he's my friend. Last time, he helped the Red Star Commune sign the order."
"Comrade Xiao He, we haven't met before. We would like to express our gratitude to you here."
The captains of Xigou and Xifeng did not know that he was Secretary He's son. They just thought he was Yun Huaying's friend and that his family had some power in the county. Zhao Xuelin knew about it, but did not tell them.
They exchanged a few words of greeting, He Jun went to speak to the guard, and then led them to drive the tractor inside.
Soon, the director of the river port logistics department came out, and He Jun introduced them to each other: "This is Director Cai. This is your first delivery. He wants to inspect the goods in person. You can unload the things first."
"OK."
After greeting Director Cai, the team leader immediately took people to unload the goods.
While they were working, He Jun introduced Director Cai individually. "Director Cai, this female comrade's surname is Yun. She was an educated youth in the Dongjiang Brigade. She was hired to work at the county hospital two days ago. She is a very skilled doctor and is mainly responsible for internal and external surgery."
Director Cai was very familiar with He Jun and understood what he meant. He became much more enthusiastic towards Yun Huaying: "So it's Doctor Yun. Nice to meet you."
"Director Cai, nice to meet you." Yun Huaying extended her hand and shook hands with him.
He Jun was also a straightforward person. He didn't beat around the bush with her and said directly, "Sister Ying, Aunt Cai's health isn't very good. She often goes to the hospital for treatment. Conventional Chinese and Western medicine treatments are useless. I guess I'll have to trouble you again in the future."
Yun Huaying understood that the Aunt Cai he was talking about was going to have surgery, and she said to Director Cai, "Director Cai, if you trust me, bring Aunt Cai to the hospital to see me next Wednesday, and I'll give her a thorough examination first."
"My wife has a tumor in her stomach, on her intestines. It's very large."
"Oh, it's a bowel tumor."
Yun Huaying understood what was going on. She thought he must have gone to the city for a checkup. "Bring the checkup sheet back later. If everything else is fine, we'll just need a simple surgery to remove the tumor. I'll have no problem with that."
Seeing her confidence, Director Cai looked at He Jun and saw him nodding to him, so he decided to give it a try: "Okay, I'll bring her over next Wednesday. I'll have to trouble Doctor Yun then."
"It should be."
