They asked Master Zhao to come and help, and paid him every day.
But in the countryside, besides money, friendship is more important.
Often a meal can immediately bring people closer together.
After hearing what Qiao Anle said, Master Zhao's wrinkled face showed an expression of joy.
I can't stop feeling moved.
He was just an ordinary house builder. His skills were useless now, but he was still warmly invited to dinner by an officer's wife.
This is a huge honor!
Master Zhao laughed.
But still shook his head.
"No, no! I'm here to work for money, how can I eat your food? Besides, Captain Li has done so many good things for our village, even if he lets me do it for free, it's what I deserve."
Qiao Anle said.
"Let's put it this way. You've put in the work to build this house for us, so paying you is a must. Treating you to a meal is a token of our appreciation."
Master Zhao kept waving his hands.
"I accept your kindness, but I really can't eat this meal."
Seeing that Master Zhao still refused, Qiao Anle didn't say anything else.
After work for the day.
Qiao Anle wrapped a piece of fruit candy in newspaper and secretly gave it to Master Zhao when he left.
"Master Zhao, I remember you have several grandchildren. Here are some fruit candies. Take them home for the children."
Master Zhao was surprised again by Qiao Anle's enthusiasm.
If it was an ordinary bun, he would still be able to refuse it.
But these are fruit candies...
His grandchildren, the oldest of whom are seven or eight years old, don’t even know what fruit candy is.
Master Zhao's hand holding the bag of fruit candy trembled slightly.
He was so excited that he didn't know what to say to Qiao Anle.
Qiao Anle smiled lightly, "Master Zhao, take it and make the children happy too."
"Hey! Thank you! You and Captain Li are both good people, and both are benefactors of our village!"
Master Zhao thanked him repeatedly, put the fruit candy in his arms, and left happily.
When watching Master Zhao leave,
Qiao Anle's eyes also fell on the house next door.
She had given candy before...
I met the woman named Song Lingdang...
Nowadays.
The doors and windows of the house next door were still closed, as if no one lived there.
But in the middle of the night, the crying sound like a baby could still be heard from time to time.
Qiao Anle has been too busy these days and she ignored this matter.
I don’t know how Song Lingdang and her child are doing now?
Qiao Anle had a worry in her heart that she had never let go of.
How about inviting Song Lingdang and the man in her family to come over for dinner?
Qiao Anle thought so in his heart.
I just happened to see a man walk into the next room.
The man looked to be in his thirties or forties, and his face looked very old. Not only were there wrinkles on his face, but he also had an untidy beard.
The clothes the man was wearing were also dirty, obviously not taken care of carefully, and even the holes were not patched.
One of the man's legs was lame.
He staggered as he walked, and his body tilted very badly.
Qiao Anle stood there, watching the man with a sprained ankle open the door to the next door.
Could this man be Song Lingdang’s husband?
This doubt flashed through Qiao Anle's mind.
Fang Cheng walked up to her side at some point and spoke at that moment.
"Sister-in-law, that's Lu Jianmin."
Lü Jianmin...
That is the name Li Fengbei mentioned last time, and he is indeed Song Lingdang's husband.
But the previous time, for some reasons, Li Fengbei did not explain clearly about Lu Jianmin.
Now is the right time and place.
Fang Cheng is also a person who says whatever he thinks, so he must know a lot.
Qiao Anle simply asked Fang Cheng directly.
"Fang Cheng, can you tell me more about this Lu Jianmin incident?"
Fang Cheng scratched his head and replied, "There's nothing to hide. He's not part of our army anymore anyway..."
therefore.
Fang Cheng talked about Lu Jianmin's past.
Lu Jianmin was indeed a soldier in the past. Although he did not make much contribution, he was definitely not a weak and cowardly deserter.
He is just an ordinary soldier among the countless people.
At the beginning, his personality was not bad and he got along well with many people in the army.
But accidents in life happen unexpectedly.
Once, the troops were on vacation.
Lu Jianmin and other soldiers went to a river to swim and catch fish.
Lu Jianmin is a good swimmer and a great fish catcher, so he unknowingly headed for the deep water.
No one paid much attention to it at the time and never thought that an accident would happen.
It was only after Lu Jianmin had disappeared for a long time that the other soldiers began to search for him anxiously.
When they found Lu Jianmin.
His ankle was pinned by a large rock at the bottom of the river, and his entire body was submerged in water. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't get out.
I almost fainted.
A group of people worked together to pull him out of the water, pressing his chest and giving him artificial respiration.
Fortunately, Lu Jianmin finally survived.
Unfortunately, Lu Jianmin's leg was broken, leaving him with lifelong disability.
