He is a good comrade.
Shen He's smile deepened, while Li Yiyi beside him raised her little hand.
"Uncle, there's me too. I saw you first."
The child's innocence broke the awkwardness of their first meeting, and Shen He solemnly addressed Li Yi.
"Thank you, young comrade."
"You're welcome."
She grinned, revealing her newly grown front teeth, which made her look even cuter.
[Hmm, this man is not bad; he knows how to value her.]
He seems like a good person.
Upon hearing this, Boss Li stared at Li Yiyi. He felt that he and Jiang Yuting needed to teach Li Yiyi a lesson, so that she wouldn't assume everyone she met was a good person.
"Dad, why are you looking at me like that? It's creepy."
"Dad, you look like a weird uncle now."
Old Li stared at Li Yiyi with a deep, unsettling gaze. "Strange Uncle," he thought, "he's her biological father."
Watching the father and daughter staring at each other, Shen He felt much better. Seeing Li Laoda and Li Yiyi interacting reminded him of his own son and daughter-in-law.
Once things stabilize, we can bring them over.
"Comrade, thank you for saving me. My name is Shen He, and I am the director of the lumber mill. And you, young comrade, if it weren't for you and your father, I'm afraid I might not be able to make it."
The rest of the words were left unsaid, but everyone understood.
The weather is getting colder. If I hadn't run into Boss Li and Li Yiyi today, I might have frozen to death.
The alley is small and narrow, with many people coming and going, but few actually see what's going on. Otherwise, the person who drowned would have been rescued long ago.
[Shen He, the lumber mill manager?]
[Dad, we've made it big! Shen He was Li Fuyi's biggest benefactor at the very beginning of the story. Li Fuyi came to town once and happened to see Shen He collapsed. She took pity on him and rescued him. It just so happened that Li Laosan was a carpenter, and with Li Fuyi's recommendation, Li Laosan became the family's second worker after Li Laosi.]
However, Li Laosi is no longer a worker, and we rescued him from the river before he fell in; Li Fuyi's first major asset is now gone.
Although it was all by chance, it makes me so happy. Luck is unpredictable; I didn't intentionally try to seize it, so I have a clear conscience. Besides, knowing about an opportunity beforehand and trying to take it isn't a crime.
[Dad, we've saved Chenhe; the good days are yet to come!]
As Li Yiyi listened to her thoughts, Li Laoda subtly observed Chen He.
Li Fuyi's first big shot? Qualified, he's the lumber mill manager!
In Shen He's view, it was Boss Li who was shocked by his identity; after all, judging from Boss Li's clothing, he shouldn't be a city worker.
As for Li Yiyi, it's normal for children to daydream; his son also daydreams from time to time and has difficulty concentrating.
"Hello, Comrade Shenhe. I am Li Aiguo from Lijia Village, First Production Team of Wuxing Commune. This is my daughter, Li Yiyi."
"Hello, Uncle, my name is Li Yiyi."
After learning Shen He's identity, Li Yiyi's smile became even more sincere.
"Hello, Comrade Li Aiguo. I'm so glad to have met you. You brought your daughter here."
Even after learning his identity, Shen He's habit of guessing remained unchanged. Coincidentally, while investigating how his hypoglycemia had suddenly occurred, he unexpectedly gained two saviors.
Being in a high position, he had to be wary of all sorts of shady characters who wanted to associate with him, even though there was nothing suspicious about Li Yiyi and Boss Li.
"well."
Li Laoda's bright eyes dimmed, and he pulled Li Yiyi into his arms.
"To be honest, I brought my daughter to see a doctor. Our family is not well-off. My daughter was born prematurely and her health has never been very good. We finally managed to catch some wild animals on the mountain and exchange them for some money. I thought I would bring my daughter to see a doctor."
When he said this, Li Laoda wasn't guilty at all. It was a well-known fact in the production team, so what did he have to be afraid of? His daughter's reputation for being sickly was known throughout the surrounding production teams.
Shen He carefully observed Li Yiyi and realized that she was just as Li Laoda had said: cute at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one could see that Li Yiyi was extremely thin and small.
When his son was about the same age as Li Yiyi, he was much stronger than Li Yiyi. Not to mention, Li Yiyi's lip color was always pinkish-white, which would look good on an adult, but on a child, it meant that the child had something wrong with him.
Li Yiyi: She's perfectly healthy; it's just that her appearance is deceptive.
"Patriotic brother, your daughter will be alright."
With his doubts dispelled, Shen He hesitated for a moment, looking at Li Laoda, but then, seeing Li Yiyi's big eyes, he finally spoke.
"Patriotic brother, what do you mean by catching wild animals to exchange for money? Is there some kind of difficulty at home?"
"It's nothing, my family is quite well-off."
Boss Li was taken aback, then said with a troubled and bitter expression, and the perceptive Li Yiyi immediately added,
"Uncle, my grandparents think I'm a money-loser and won't give me money for medical treatment."
He hurriedly covered Li Yiyi's mouth; Boss Li was genuinely panicked.
Girl, you're going too far by pretending. He hasn't asked Old Lady Li and Old Man Li for any money.
"Dad, what are you doing? I'm telling the truth. Didn't Grandma just call me a good-for-nothing yesterday? If she's a good-for-nothing, then she definitely won't be willing to spend money on my medical treatment."
"Dad, let me go!"
With bulging eyes, he glared angrily at Boss Li, who guiltily looked away.
That seems to be true; his mother just scolded his daughter yesterday for being a good-for-nothing.
"Patriotic brother, let's talk this out and not hurt the child."
Seeing Li Laoda cover Li Yiyi's mouth, Shen He was horrified. With just a gentle touch, Li Yiyi was left with only her eyes.
