Chapter 149 Return to the City
In a blink of an eye, it was the second day of the first lunar month.
Xing Dongyang's illness was like a flood that came on with great force. The young man, who was usually healthy and strong, had a fever for three days in a row.
The fever subsided during the day but returned at night. I felt drowsy all day and hardly got out of bed for several days.
Su Tong knew that although his illness came on suddenly, it was mainly caused by his pent-up emotions. It was not a bad thing to vent them, and as long as he was careful in conditioning, there would be no problem.
Xing Dongyang was ill and did not ask to leave, and she did not mind taking care of an extra patient. Anyway, there were many people at home these days, and it would be more convenient for her to have him stay here.
Su Tong didn't care, but Aunt Cuifen was very anxious.
Tongya is capable, and it's fine for the villagers to help treat a patient, but it's really a bit unreasonable that he stayed for two or three days.
Although Wang Guilan is not at home and Tong Ya is no longer considered a member of the Wu family in name, and no one will come to make trouble, but people's words are scary, and Tong Ya still wants her reputation!
But from Tong Ya's perspective, Xing Zhiqing was so ill that he was barely conscious in the past few days. After all, he had saved her life, so it was not right for her to chase him away...
On second thought, Xing Zhiqing is not a person who doesn't know what's going on. He agreed to the thing with Tong Ya in front of everyone last time, but Tong Ya refused. Now that she can live here peacefully this time, maybe she still hopes that this thing can work out!
If this is the case, she still has to find a chance to give Tong Ya some advice...
After lunch, Aunt Cuifen watched Su Tong bring the medicinal porridge to Xing Dongyang as usual, and looked at the door curtain and said worriedly:
"Xing Zhiqing's condition doesn't look good. How come he still can't get off the bed after several days?"
Wu Erlaizi had already put down his chopsticks, but was still chewing on a braised chicken leg with his mouth full of oil. Now he wiped his greasy mouth.
"Mom, what do you know? This illness came at the right time. When Xing Zhiqing recovers, I will have a brother-in-law."
Aunt Cuifen rushed towards Wu Erlaizi with a "pa--" sound.
"It's New Year's Day, what are you talking about? Don't let anyone hear you."
Wu Erlaizi tilted his head to avoid the slap, with his mouth still full of meat, and raised his neck and said:
“娘，我这咋是胡咧咧呢！邢知青一大小伙子大过年的在桐丫家里住了好几天，桐丫名声还要不要的，他要不娶桐丫我这当哥的也得揍得他满地找牙！”
In the past few days, he had meat and white rice for every meal at Su Tong's place. In addition, Su Tong's cooking skills were good, so Wu Erlaizi was very satisfied with the meals. He often showed off his status as an uncle and cousin. He thought that if he brought back the educated youth brother-in-law, he would worry about not having a good life in the future...
Aunt Cuifen picked up a pair of chopsticks and threw them at her son, thinking to herself, you are the only one who knows, you are smart, right?
No one said anything, but you insisted on shouting outside, and you shouted so loudly. What if people outside heard it? How embarrassed would Tongya be...
Aunt Cuifen was beating her son vigorously when she heard someone outside the yard shouting:
"Tongya! Tongya! Something big happened!"
Su Tong came out of the inner room after hearing the shouting. He exchanged a glance with Aunt Cuifen, but before he could run out, he saw Secretary Wu and Li Weidong had already hurried into the yard. However, his face was filled with joy, and it didn't look like anything serious had happened.
"Tongya! They said Xing Zhiqing is here to get treatment? I've been running around for a long time!"
A few days ago, Party Secretary Wu was "worshiping ancestors" with the Wu family when he was caught by comrades from the police station. Although he repeatedly stated that he was not the leader and only participated in order to deal with the Wu family's family affairs, he was still severely criticized by the commune secretary and town leaders.
In view of Secretary Wu's good attitude in admitting his mistakes, the commune decided to give him another chance. If he made the same mistake again, he would be directly dismissed.
Originally, they were said to have not been rated as an "advanced village", but seeing that a "hero" had emerged and the good social response, the subsidies that were to be increased for Yunshan Village were withdrawn, and several other welfare policies were also cancelled.
The villagers are still unaware of the situation. In order to avoid being scolded later, Party Secretary Wu has been very kind and positive when meeting everyone these days.
When he heard Li Weidong say that Xing Dongyang was at Su Tong's place, he immediately ran over.
Li Weidong came to visit Xing Dongyang on the night he moved in. At that time, Xing Dongyang's fever had just subsided and he was in a very bad condition. He saw that he had medicine prepared by Su Tong, Shi Tou was by his side, and there were comrades from the public security department guarding the west room. He thought it was much more reliable than staying back at Xiaoshun's grandmother's house!
Even if I went to the town hospital during the New Year, there were no reliable doctors. It would be better to stay here and feel at ease, so I didn't say anything.
But he didn't expect that the burning would last for several days. Xing Dongyang didn't mention it himself, and he didn't want to mention taking him away.
"Yes, Secretary Wu! Brother Xing broke his leg. At that time, he just wanted to bandage it, but he kept having intermittent fever and it was inconvenient to move. Don't worry! Shitou and the police have been with him all the time, and he will be well soon."
Su Tong explained the matter clearly in just a few words and also blocked all possible doubts. From the beginning of the year to after the new year, there was a constant flow of people coming and going in her room. Even if someone wanted to say something, they had to consider whether it was tenable.
Secretary Wu didn't want to cause any more trouble at the moment, so even if he found something wrong, he wouldn't ask any more questions. He just said with a relaxed expression:
"Hurry up and let Xing Zhiqing come out. There is good news! We received a notice from above saying that Xing Zhiqing has performed well and he is being notified to return to the city early! This is a special case! It is the glory of our Yunshan Village!"
Xing Zhiqing is a promising young man. He can also bring some honor back to Yunshan Village!
Su Tong already knew about this, but he didn't react too much. He planned to find an opportunity to talk to Xing Dongyang about this matter after he came back last time, but unexpectedly, something happened as soon as he came back.
Later, Xing Dongyang was not in the village. Until Xing Dongyang recovered from his leg injury and his condition was not good, no one mentioned it. It would be inappropriate to mention it now.
Anyway, it was only done half a year earlier, and she didn't want to take credit for it, so... let's not mention it.
But Aunt Cuifen standing by was disappointed. What?!
Xing Zhiqing wants to go back to the city?
How can you come back just like that?
What should Tongya do now that he has returned to the city? ?
Xing Dongyang was lying on the kang in the inner room. He heard Secretary Wu yelling outside the yard!
What is coming will come!
You can’t avoid what you should avoid!
He was very glad that he fell ill at this time, which gave him an excuse to shamelessly spend three days with Su Tong.
Although he was drowsy due to a fever during these three days, they were the most unforgettable and happiest three days since he went to the countryside. It was like a beautiful dream, but when he woke up, everything returned to reality.
Li Weidong had already opened the door curtain and came in, his face also full of joy.
"Dongyang, congratulations! You can return to the city early!"
