Du Xiaoying stood there in shock, a thousand thoughts running through her mind in an instant.
In an instant, all the strange anomalies that had occurred before became reasonable, and I had a bold guess in my mind.
"Xiao Mo, why don't you leave? It's too late--" Su Qing saw the person standing outside the door, and the rest of her words stopped abruptly. She stared blankly at the person outside the door.
Du Xiaoying keenly caught the panic in the other person's eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched stiffly.
The two women stared at each other through the door.
For a moment, the atmosphere was stagnant and the air was dead silent.
Only the howling sound of the wind reminded them.
"Well, I just came here to give you some gifts. Comrade Su, these are small tokens of gratitude for teaching Daya and the other sisters these days."
Du Xiaoying came to her senses and quickly stuffed her things over, forcing an awkward smile. "Well... He Zhiqing, what a coincidence, huh? I'll be heading back first then."
After saying that, she quickly turned around and wanted to escape from this dangerous place, but she was stopped by a voice behind her as soon as she took a step.
"Aunt Du, wait a minute."
.....
A few minutes later
Du Xiaoying lowered her head and stared at her toes in embarrassment, regretting that she had chosen the right time.
He Jinmo smiled and said slowly, "Aunt Du, I'm sure you've guessed it. Comrade He Hong and Su Qing from the cowshed are my parents. I'm very grateful for your help to my parents. I came to the countryside just for them."
"Aunt, we didn't mean to hide it from you." Xiao Yi pulled his sleeve nervously.
"Yes, Comrade Du, we didn't mean to lie to you." Su Qing explained quickly.
Du Xiaoying sighed, "It's important to be cautious. Aren't you afraid that if I find out, I'll report you?"
"Aunt, you won't. Xiaoyi believes you."
He Qing smiled helplessly, "Comrade Du, if you were that kind of person, you wouldn't have to help us again and again."
"I used to wonder why I always ran into He Zhiqing near the cowshed. Now I understand everything." Du Xiaoying shrugged with a helpless smile.
"He Zhiqing, you are really brave. It will be terrible if someone finds out about this."
He Jinmo looked at his old and frail parents, his eyes filled with heartache. "When the accident happened, my parents cut off ties with us in order not to implicate us. I would rather have been sent down with them at that time."
"Xiao Mo, don't talk nonsense." He Qing glared at her son. Looking at her little son who is now tall and strong, she feels that all the hardships she has suffered are worth it.
He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and slowly recounted his experiences of that year.
"If it weren't for me, my husband wouldn't have been demoted as well."
He Hong covered his wife's rough palm and gently wiped the tears from her face. "I am your husband. From the day your father-in-law handed you over to me, I was determined to protect you for the rest of my life. If I leave you to suffer alone, what kind of man would I be?"
"I would also like to thank Comrade Du for your support and assistance. Otherwise, we would have lost hope of survival and might not have even waited for my little Mo to arrive."
Du Xiaoying waved her hands quickly, "I just did what I thought I should do."
"More than that, Comrade Du, if you hadn't saved Xiaoyi, we, the grandfather and grandson who depended on each other for survival, would have been separated long ago."
When Old Qin thought about his grandson almost drowning, he couldn't help but tremble with fear. "Comrade Du, we will remember your great kindness for the rest of our lives."
"Uncle Qin, please don't be like this. I don't know how to thank you enough for teaching my children all the skills you know."
....
"Comrade Su Qing was once the daughter of a wealthy family. After the incident, Comrade He Hong not only stayed with his wife but also decided to face it together. Worried about implicated children, they severed ties with their three children and sent their youngest son, He Zhiqing, to live with their eldest daughter."
Du Xiaoying couldn't help but sigh, "They say husband and wife are birds of a feather, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. But it's the opposite with Su Qing and He Hong."
Upon hearing this, Song Guoliang admired He Hong's loyalty to his wife. There are very few men who can do that.
"This is a real man!"
Du Xiaoying sighed, "After the accident, Mr. Qin's son couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide. His daughter-in-law and wife also couldn't bear the blow and passed away one after another.
Only one grandson is left, and the two depend on each other for survival. Fortunately, Xiao Yi did not encounter any harm in this life, otherwise..."
"Well~ Thanks to my wife, we saved our little family."
Du Xiaoying punched the serious man next to her in annoyance.
....
From then on, Du Xiaoying felt more at ease about the children going to the cowshed.
These days, the children have made significant progress in their studies, and even their spirits and energy have changed.
Compared to their skinny and timid appearance six months ago, the children have been completely transformed.
Even Daya, despite her limited conditions, has become more and more confident since she started embroidering. She is no longer the self-deprecating Daya who always keeps her head down, as she looks at the various flowers and animals that come to life.
Not to mention Erya, who learned a lot of skills from her father. She is very powerful in boxing and also helps Xiaoyi to keep fit.
San Ya is obsessed with books, is extremely sensitive to numbers, and has a strong memory. She is the undisputed academic master among her sisters.
Si Ya followed Mr. Qin and painted very well, and her paintings were vivid and lifelike.
Although Wu Ya is young, she has shown extraordinary talent in learning medical skills from Comrade Ho Hung.
Seeing the changes in her daughters, she felt very proud and gratified as a mother. She would prepare some delicious food every day and let the children take it to the cowshed to share with the teachers.
After breakfast, Daya and her sisters took their food and books and ran to the cowshed when no one was around.
Du Xiaoying brought her three nephews, who were well fed and well-drinking, and waited for Liu Dajiao to arrive before officially starting today's work.
"Xiaoying, you don't know, when I brought the thermos and fabric back yesterday, my parents-in-law cried with joy."
When Liu Dajiao thought that her son's wedding would not be so shabby and that his in-laws would not look down on her family, she was so happy that her eyes could not help but turn red.
"Hei Mei, just follow me and work hard, and things will get better slowly."
"Hey~" Liu Dajiao responded with full energy and put his arms around to work.
.....
"That useless second son, if it weren't for our family, would he have the life he has today?" Old Mrs. Song was so angry that her eyes turned red after hearing what her grandson said.
"If I had known this earlier, I would have pushed that kid into the piss bucket and drowned him."
Song Zihao curled his lips. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have done it in the first place.
"Old man, I don't even know where our second child is now. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have swapped the child with this ungrateful bastard."
