Jiang Fengxia hasn't eaten anything for some days.
It was said that the rain in Qicheng had stopped for several days, but there was still no news from his daughter. Chen Zhifang comforted them by saying that they were currently engaged in disaster relief and could not send letters or telegrams. Xiuzhi must be fine, she just had not had time to report her safety to her family.
But as parents, we can't help but worry.
They had no way to go to Qicheng and could only wait for news.
Fu Baoer handed the bun to Jiang Fengxia, "Grandma, please have some."
"Yes, old woman, eat something. If your daughter comes home and sees you like this, she will be worried."
Jiang Fengxia took it and reluctantly took a bite. "Oh, I heard that many people died in Qicheng. They all drowned, and some were electrocuted. Why is it raining so hard?"
Fu Manshan shook his head and sighed. He was no less worried than Jiang Fengxia.
People in the village are talking about all kinds of things these days.
That day at work, they overheard their second daughter-in-law, Zhao Li, gossiping with others about how Fu Xiuzhi was just unlucky. She married a man who beat her, then got divorced like someone else, and went to the city to work as a worker without knowing her place. Did she really just go to the provincial capital? If she didn't have that kind of fate, she shouldn't have such high aspirations!
Jiang Fengxia was so angry that she rushed out and slapped Zhao Li several times.
Zhao Li refused to repent. I thought she realized her mistake and changed, but it turned out to be just an act. Fortunately, Cheng Ru and Cheng Jie didn't forgive her out of pity.
"Don't worry too much, old lady. Xiuzhi is very lucky. I don't believe anything will happen to her!" Fu Manshan consoled her. "Don't go to work these few days. We don't need these few work points. It will save us from hearing those annoying words."
Jiang Fengxia shook her head: "I'd better go to work. If I stay at home, I'll suffocate to death. Don't worry, I won't take it to heart. Some people can't bear to see us live well, I know."
Fu Baoer felt relieved when he saw his grandmother eating. We should never harm our health, right?
"Grandma, eat more so you have strength to work." Fu Baoer peeled an egg and handed it to Jiang Fengxia's mouth.
Jiang Fengxia was touched by her granddaughter's thoughtfulness. She cheered herself up and forced herself to eat an egg and a bun.
"Let's go! Let's go to work!" Jiang Fengxia felt energetic after eating, and led Panpan and Baoer to the fields.
When Song Fang ran over, she saw a family coming out.
"Godmother is here!" Fu Baoer pointed at Song Fang with her little hand, thinking that she looked anxious and must have something to say, "Grandma, did you get a message from my aunt?"
Jiang Fengxia hurried over and asked, "Fang, what's wrong? Is there any news from the provincial capital?"
"Godmother, hurry... hurry up, go to the front, someone is coming from the city!" Song Fang panted, "Xiu... Sister Xiuzhi is back too!"
What? My aunt is back?
Fu Baoer let go of her hand and ran out. She had to go and take a look!
"Aunt!!!" Fu Baoer was blocked behind the crowd and couldn't see inside. What were they all doing here instead of working in the fields?
Fu Manshan and Jiang Fengxia ran after them, picked up Bao'er and Panpan, and squeezed into the crowd: "Make way, make way! Xiuzhi, where is our Xiuzhi!"
Fu Xiuzhi heard the noise and stood up excitedly: "Dad! Mom! I'm here!"
Fu Baoer raised her eyes a lot and saw her aunt at a glance. She was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and army green pants. The most eye-catching thing was the big red flower pinned on her chest!
Several people dressed like cadres and leaders were eagerly shaking hands with Chen Zhifang and Wang Youtian.
"Secretary Chen, Captain Wang! You guys in Qingshan Village are amazing! You've brought honor to our county!"
Chen Zhifang was terrified and held the leader with both hands: "County Magistrate Ma, this is what Comrade Fu Xiuzhi should do!"
"In the face of this disaster, Fu Xiuzhi, as a female comrade, bravely stepped forward and single-handedly saved so many lives. This is truly remarkable!" Ma Youwei handed a certificate to Fu Xiuzhi. "Comrade Xiuzhi! Always remember your mission as a Party activist! Keep up the good work! Carry forward the revolutionary spirit of the working class!"
Fu Xiuzhi took the certificate seriously and said, "County Magistrate Ma, don't worry. Although I haven't joined the party yet, I will definitely remember my mission!"
"Good comrade, go back and have a good rest for a few days. When you return to the city, your factory will hold a commendation meeting for you. You must go on stage and make a speech then!"
County Magistrate Ma spoke a few words to Chen Zhifang and his men, said goodbye to his fellow villagers, and then left with his men.
As soon as he left, the village was in an uproar.
"What's going on? Didn't Xiuzhi suffer a disaster in Qicheng? How come nothing happened to her?"
"You don't understand, do you? Xiuzhi must have made a great contribution. Even the county magistrate came in person, and there's a certificate of honor! This is truly an honor."
"What is a commendation meeting? What are activists?"
The crowd of onlookers started talking about it.
Jiang Fengxia didn't care about that. As long as the child was fine, she was relieved. "Xiuzhi, let me see, are you hurt?"
Fu Xiuzhi looked energetic and full of spirits, not at all like she was injured. Jiang Fengxia took a good look at her before she let out a long sigh and felt completely relieved.
"You scared your father and me to death! It's been so many days and there's no letter at all! Please at least write a letter home!" Jiang Fengxia's mood was up and down, and she couldn't control her tears.
Fu Xiuzhi hurriedly comforted her mother: "Mom, you don't know how I got through these few days. Where can I write to you? The city is in such a mess. I finally waited for the disaster relief workers to arrive and settled everything down. Then, a few friends and I went to help settle the victims and rescue people. There were so many things to do!"
"Silly girl, don't you know that your parents don't have enough to eat or drink at home? No matter how busy they are, you can't do this!"
"Okay, go back first. Stop crying here. Everyone is watching us!" Fu Manshan quickly stopped his wife from hugging her daughter. "You take Xiuzhi back. I'm going to work first. There's still so much work to do in the fields!"
When the villagers heard this, they agreed that they could not delay their work no matter what.
"Let's go! Let's go back to work!"
"Sister Fengxia, let's go to your house tonight. We also want to hear about what's happening in the provincial capital!"
"Yes, yes, I'll go too. Auntie, please don't think we're annoying."
Jiang Fengxia agreed repeatedly, "Hey, let's go, let's wait for you!"
After everyone left, Fu Baoer stretched out her hands and said, "Auntie, I miss you so much!"
Fu Xiuzhi took her niece in her arms and said, "Aunt misses Bao'er too. She can speak so fluently now! We haven't seen each other for only half a year."
Fu Baoer also sighed. In just half a year, Fu Xiuzhi has become more attractive than before. There is no trace of the inferiority and worry she had before. Instead, she is full of vigor, confidence and expectations for life.
She would call it a transformation.
And looking at this, the Red Luan star is moving~
I remember that before my aunt left, she looked like she was in love with him. In just half a year, could she have won over that Shen Qiaosheng?
