Chapter 31 I Can Also Be Your Backer
"Auntie Ge, can I have some water?"
Xiaohua was probably worried about what happened last time, so she didn't dare to look Song Yunqing in the eye. She just licked her dry lips.
Ge Jinglan poured her a glass of warm water: "Xiaohua, have you had dinner?"
Xiaohua shook her head: "Mom hasn't come back yet."
"I have some food here. You can eat it first and then talk to your mother when she comes back, okay?"
Ge Jinglan is a soft-hearted person and can't stand this kind of poor little thing the most.
Xiaohua glanced at Song Yunqing with concern, but still shook her head. She picked up the water and drank it all in one gulp, but her stomach was still rumbling.
Song Yunqing knew that she was embarrassed.
"I think Xiao Jinchuan will be back soon. I'll go back first. You can keep the basin and give it to me when you have time!"
As soon as Song Yunqing left, Ge Jinglan found a small bowl, scooped half a bowl of seafood stew, and took out a hot corn steamed bun.
"Eat it."
Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, but the fragrance kept coming into her nose, and she couldn't help but eat it voraciously.
When Song Yunqing returned home, Xiao Jinchuan had already returned and was taking off his coat and hanging it on the wall.
"Where have you been? When you came back and didn't see anyone, I thought something happened to you."
"I went to bring some food to Sister Ge's house."
"You are very generous."
"This is all because of you, Vice Captain Xiao. Aren't you trying to bring joy to all the poor people in the world?"
Xiao Jinchuan turned his face away: "I didn't say that."
"I didn't say it, but you thought so."
While the two were talking, a child's childish voice was heard outside.
"Dad is great, I want to learn from him too."
"Be careful and don't block the road."
Song Yunqing looked outside the door and saw Yao Xinjie walking upside down on his hands, staggering as he walked in from the main gate.
He was completely unaware of the bursts of laughter coming from outside.
He didn't stumble until he reached the stairs, his legs turned over, and then he sat on the ground to catch his breath.
His face turned red due to congestion.
"I didn't break my promise."
Song Yunqing couldn't help laughing: "Then should I praise you for keeping your promise?"
Yao Xinjie took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Whether you praise me or not, I can afford to win or lose."
Song Yunqing looked at Xu Xiujuan and the two children who were following behind him and watching with interest.
I can't help but sigh once again at the education of this family.
The children don’t think this behavior is shameful, and my wife thinks it is normal to accept defeat.
This scoundrel in the eyes of others is the pillar of this family.
"Okay, okay, come in and eat."
Yao Xinjie already fully understood the habits of this capitalist lady, so he picked up the two children and walked to the basin.
"Wash your hands before eating!"
Xu Xiujuan couldn't help feeling happy seeing this. Ever since Deputy Captain Xiao and Miss Song came, the family seemed to have slowly changed.
During the meal, the two children were very polite. Even though they were drooling over the seafood, they still waited for their mother to put the food in their bowls.
Then I said thank you before I started eating.
The more Song Yunqing watched, the more he liked it.
After dinner, Yao Xinjie went up to the roof to complete the last bit of work.
"The work is finally done. I won't come tomorrow."
"I'm coming."
Yao Xinjie looked at Xiao Jinchuan in disbelief: "No way, didn't they say that it would be fine if it was fixed?"
"Ours is fixed, how about yours?"
"What about our family..."
Xu Xiujuan pulled his shoulder and glared at him angrily: "Our roof was blown away by the wind for quite some time. Do you still want to live in a pigsty?"
The youngest son looked at Yao Xinjie innocently: "Dad, why do we have to live in a pigpen? Are we piglets?"
Yao Xinjie pinched his nose: "You are a pig."
Then he said to Xiao Jinchuan, "I understand. I will fix the roof as soon as possible and not embarrass you, Deputy Captain Xiao."
"I'll help you tomorrow."
"No, please don't. I can do it myself. We don't have much food at home, so we can't afford to entertain you."
Xiao Jinchuan's mouth twitched: "I don't want your food."
"That's even worse. I'm the head of a group, but I'm working for me and I don't even have food. How will people view me?"
"Deputy."
Yao Xinjie was stunned. He was a little shocked when he remembered that he had pointed at his nose and scolded him before.
"That's about right. As long as they do practical things for the people, they are all good leaders."
Even after Yao Xinjie left for a long time, Xiao Jinchuan's smile never fell.
"Are you very happy? Don't you feel a sense of accomplishment?"
Xiao Jinchuan controlled his smile slightly and said, "I feel a great sense of accomplishment. This feeling is completely absent in Beijing. Every day is fulfilling, and every step is practical."
"Perhaps that's why you were sent here."
Xiao Jinchuan didn't continue talking, but talked about another thing.
"My parents sent me a letter saying they're done with their busy schedule and will be here in two days."
"No problem. I can find someone to build another room in the yard. I just want a flat roof, and I can also put up a shed so I can enjoy the cool air and the view in the summer."
Listen to the sound of the waves, feel the salty sea breeze, watch the sun rise from the sea in the morning, and watch the sunset fall into the water in the evening.
This kind of poetic life is what people should live.
"OK."
Song Yunqing has gone to draw the blueprints happily. She will soon have her own sea view room!
It was not until the sun set that Song Yunqing straightened up and looked over the half-finished drawing again and again, feeling extremely satisfied.
It turns out that people don’t feel tired when they do what they like.
"Silly girl, do I need you to eat or wear? Why do you have to go to someone else's house to eat?"
"You just think your mother is poor, don't you?"
"I don't think you want to be my child either. Go and be my child for whoever can feed you!"
Song Yunqing looked through the window and heard the sound was not far away.
Xiaohua's sobs shook the heavens and earth, and she promised as she cried, "I will never go to someone else's house for dinner again."
Song Yunqing looked down on such people from the bottom of her heart. She hadn't heard any of them scolding the child before, but she heard it today.
He must have said it while standing in the yard, with the purpose of telling her and Ge Jinglan.
"It's really unfair. I treated her child well but I became her enemy!"
She didn't care. She guessed that Ge Jinglan wouldn't be able to sleep again tonight.
"Ah, who is so blind!"
Chen Zhicheng's voice rang out: "Ouch, I'm so sorry, the water was thrown a little high, did it splash you?
"Nonsense, what do you think? You poured water over the wall. Did you do it on purpose?"
"I'm really sorry. I was sleepy and heard a bird chirping outside. I didn't pay attention and splashed it. But you too, why are you standing in the yard so late at night?"
Song Yunqing covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Xiao Jinchuan: "What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at Jinglan for having a good backer. Chen Zhicheng is just venting his anger on Jinglan!"
Xiao Jinchuan's heart moved. So she likes this?
A few more insults from Qian Xiufen were heard outside, and then there was no more sound.
Song Yunqing put the drawings away, and when he moved, he found that the clothes Xiao Jinchuan had just changed had threads coming apart at the shoulders. He probably didn't notice it.
She took out the sewing box from the box and, by the light of the kerosene lamp, began to mend the clothes stitch by stitch.
A white cloud was embroidered on the torn part so that it would not be easily seen.
The kerosene lamp flickered. I finally finished embroidering the last stitch and was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyelids.
The next day, Xiao Jinchuan arrived at the office, looked around, and saw that everyone was there, so he took off his coat.
"The weather is a bit stuffy."
Chen Zhicheng looked at the weather outside. Wasn’t it windy just now?
"No, it's quite cool."
Xiao Jinchuan picked up another piece of paper on the table and handed it forward: "Take a look at this."
"We discussed this this morning. It's highly feasible and can be implemented as an initial plan."
Chen Zhicheng was still analyzing seriously when he was pulled aside by Zhao Hu.
"Deputy Captain, the pattern on your clothes is beautifully embroidered!"
After Zhao Hu said that, Chen Zhicheng looked at his shoulder. It was originally a pure white shirt, and there was a small cloud embroidered with pure white thread, which was not obvious at all.
“It’s just that the stitches aren’t dense enough.”
Zhao Hu didn't even want to talk about him anymore, saying his teammates were too stupid to lead.
"Did you embroider it yourself?"
Xiao Jinchuan: "My lover embroidered it."
Zhao Hu: "Oh, the deputy commander is so lucky. Not only is his sister-in-law beautiful, but she's also so capable."
These two sentences put Xiao Jinchuan in a good mood, but he just said "hmm" in a proud manner and there was no further words.
Chen Zhicheng touched his head and looked at Zhao Hu with admiration: "You are the one who should flatter me. You are a professional."
Zhao Hu raised his palm and threatened: "If you mention this again, I will beat you to death."
"Why?"
Chen Zhicheng suppressed a laugh and kindly explained to Xiao Jinchuan, "Before coming to the island, he was responsible for looking after the horses for the troops. His nickname was Bi Ma Wen."
"You kid still said, I'll give you two punches."
"I don't want it!"
Xiao Jinchuan: ...
After get off work in the afternoon, Xiao Jinchuan went directly to Yao Xinjie's house and went up to the roof without saying a word.
"Deputy Captain, I said I can do it alone."
"Hurry up, both of you."
Xiao Jinchuan then picked up a brick, but heard voices coming from outside.
"Wouldn't it be faster with four people?"
Zhao Hu and Chen Zhicheng had obviously gone home to change their clothes and came wearing worn and dirty clothes.
"you......"
"The deputy leader is out there helping others, so we must definitely do our bit!"
Yao Xinjie muttered, "I don't know whether to contribute or just vent!"
Just at this time, Song Yunqing also came and looked at the two people who suddenly appeared.
"I haven't prepared enough food. Please wait a moment. I'll go back and get some more."
Xu Xiujuan stopped her at the kitchen door and said, "I've prepared quite a bit, it should be enough for us to eat."
After a few people worked hard for a while, the previously dilapidated roof was cleaned.
Xu Xiujuan found a small table and placed the child on it.
The four of them sat around the table. Chen Zhicheng looked at the sumptuous meal on the table and swallowed unconsciously.
Sorghum rice, a small bowl of sweet potatoes, cabbage stewed with potatoes, shredded pickles, and a shredded radish soup.
"I was so craving the seafood chowder my sister-in-law made last time. I didn't expect to be able to eat her cooking again so soon."
When Zhao Hu heard this, he punched him immediately!
