Chapter 54
Ruan Jinguo usually goes to three places: the meat processing factory, night school, or the meat processing factory staff compound.
Meng Jinyu ran back and forth to several places and finally met him at the gate of night school.
As soon as he saw her, Ruan Jinguo smiled: "Sister, are you here to check if I am studying hard? I am afraid I will disappoint you. Now is different from when I was a child. I will not be late or leave early."
When he was young, Ruan Jinguo took a few days of classes from an old man in the village.
At that time, Meng Jinyu didn't know who told her that she should learn some skills, so she urged her brother to go every day. But he went to the old gentleman when he went out in the morning, but as soon as Meng Jinyu turned around, he slipped away.
At that time, Meng Jinyu urged Ruan Jinguo to go to class, just like she had kept an eye on Jiang Guo in previous years, and she put in a lot of effort.
Fortunately, Ruan Jinguo and Jiang Guo became sensible and less worrying.
"Who told you these are useless?" Meng Jinyu slapped Ruan Jinguo on the forehead, "Jingjing is in trouble."
At this moment, Ruan Jinguo immediately put away his playful side.
His eyes suddenly darkened: "What's the matter?"
"Let's talk while we walk." Meng Jinyu stuffed Youyou in her arms into Ruan Jinguo's arms and turned to walk towards the hospital.
Youyou is not a child anymore, but her short legs are very flexible. She only needs to be held by adults when she is acting coquettish or lazy.
At this moment, she wanted to come down and walk by herself, but seeing the serious expressions of her mother and uncle, she knew that this was a moment of racing against time.
She couldn't hold the adults back.
So Youyou lay in her uncle's arms, listening to their conversation, and occasionally adding a few words, telling what she knew.
"Chu You? Zhang Lin said that it was Chu You who deliberately put pesticides in Jingjing's food?" Ruan Jinguo took a breath.
Seeing Ruan Jinguo walking faster and faster, Meng Jinyu could only catch up with him: "What do you think?"
"I heard Jingjing mention Chuyou. She said Chuyou is usually timid and afraid of things. He doesn't even dare to say a word to others. But I don't know the details." After a moment of silence, he said, "I still have to go see Jingjing first. Sister, don't be busy. Take Youyou home."
Youyou's little feet fluttered in the air, and finally she landed steadily in her mother's arms.
Looking at Ruan Jinguo's back, Meng Jinyu shouted behind him: "Jingjing may be in danger during this period, we must protect her!"
Ruan Jinguo didn't even have time to speak. He waved his hand and ran away.
…
Su Jingjing was lying on the hospital bed, her face pale.
Su's father and mother had arrived a long time ago. Seeing their daughter's weak appearance, the old couple felt heartbroken. They handed her water, peeled apples, and said they would go to the state-owned restaurant to buy a bowl of pork rib soup for her to nourish her.
"Dad, Mom, Jingjing just had her stomach washed. Let her rest for a while and eat something easily digestible." Su Feng said.
Jiang Ying also said, "Yes, for the time being, he definitely can't eat meat. Uncle, aunt, let Jingjing drink some milk, water or porridge first."
Mother Su nodded quickly after hearing this: "Yes, Yingying is a nurse, so it's right to listen to Yingying."
"Sister Yingying, you go and do your work first. I'm fine." Su Jingjing said.
Jiang Ying and Su Feng have been together for a while and have a good relationship. They are even at the stage of discussing marriage, so when she learned that Su Jingjing was admitted to the hospital, she immediately ran over from her department to inquire about the situation.
At this time, she helped Su Jingjing adjust the backrest of the hospital bed and helped cover him with the quilt. When she turned around, she said hello to Su's father and mother before leaving.
But unexpectedly, before she even went out, she saw Ruan Jinguo coming.
Except for Su Jingjing, everyone else in the ward was a stranger to him.
Everyone was wondering when they saw him running in front of Su Jingjing.
"Jingjing, are you okay?"
Su Jingjing shook her head and looked up at her family.
Ruan Jinguo then introduced himself.
When Su's father and mother learned that Ruan Jinguo was the son of Ruan Zhenli and Chen Liping, they were surprised. They didn't expect that Su Jingjing had contact with him. When they came to their senses, the old couple looked at the handsome Ruan Jinguo and couldn't help but smile with relief. They politely asked him to sit down and talk.
Su Feng frowned and was about to speak when his arm was grabbed by Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying grabbed his arm and dragged him out.
Su Feng kept looking into the ward and said unhappily, "I knew Jingjing must still have had contact with him. The piece of meat he had last time didn't look like real meat!"
Jiang Ying smiled: "You said it yourself. When Jingjing brought the cutlet of meat home that day, she almost smiled until her eyes were bent. Do you think a cutlet of meat can make your sister so happy? What made her happy was not the meat, but Comrade Ruan inside."
"He grew up in the countryside and has no background. Who knows what kind of person he is? Besides, how can an illiterate person be worthy of Jingjing!" Su Feng said angrily.
"Look, you keep talking about rural people. If you do this again, I will tell your leader and ask him to educate you! Besides, why do you care so much? Isn't it enough for Jingjing to like herself?" Jiang Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "If your sister had tried to stop you from being with me, would you have felt good about it?"
"How can they be the same? How can her boyfriend compare to yours?" Su Feng bulged his eyes, "Jingjing's taste is not good."
"I think your sister has a very good taste, just like me." Jiang Ying smiled and took his arm, walking out of the hospital. "Don't worry about it for now. Uncle and aunt will take care of it. Now, accompany me to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some milk for Jingjing..."
Su Feng was coaxed by Jiang Ying in a gentle voice and ran to buy milk.
In the ward, Su's father and mother looked at each other and came up with the same excuse.
"Jin Guo, you two can talk for a while. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy milk for Jing Jing."
Watching her parents turn around and leave the ward, then run back to close the door, Su Jingjing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
At this time, only Su Jingjing and I were left in the ward. Ruan Jinguo said, "Captain Xu took Chu You to the police station. Zhang Lin and the others suspected that Chu You had put drugs in your food."
Su Jingjing was stunned for a moment: "In the group, the team doctor did say that someone might have put pesticides in the food. But I didn't tell my family because I was afraid they would worry."
Later she was sent to the hospital and underwent a series of examinations and gastric lavage. Until now, the Su family still believed that Su Jingjing had a stomachache from eating out.
"When the doctor comes, he will probably tell your family about this. We can't keep it a secret." Ruan Jinguo said, "I know you don't want them to worry, but the matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet, so you have to be cautious. Jingjing, you are in a dangerous situation now."
I don’t know when it started, but Ruan Jinguo changed his way of addressing her and stopped calling her “Comrade Su”.
Perhaps he was too worried, for at this moment he was staring at her pale face with a serious expression.
"I don't think it's Chu You." Su Jingjing said, "Chu You doesn't talk much and is always cautious with everyone. I don't believe she would do this to me just for the chance to lead the dance."
"What do you suspect?" Ruan Jinguo asked.
"I can't really say, but at least, it shouldn't be someone from the group." Su Jingjing said seriously, "We usually eat together and receive professional training together. Even if there are occasional disagreements, they are all easy-going and can get over it with a few laughs. Besides, I think everyone has their own pride and won't resort to any means to achieve their goals."
When Su Jingjing said this, her eyes were firm. Even though her face was as pale as paper, it could not hide the bright light emanating from her whole body.
"Then let the public security comrades investigate." Ruan Jinguo said, "But too many strange things have happened to you recently, so we can't take it lightly. From now on, I will pick you up tomorrow and send you home safely, okay?"
He finished his words, holding his breath, waiting nervously.
After a moment, he saw her tilt her head.
"OK."
Ruan Jinguo breathed a sigh of relief and laughed unconsciously.
…
Gu Qi began another week of waiting.
This time, Grandpa Gu said earnestly: "Xiao Qi, although you are just a child, grandpa also wants to teach you that you can't be so persistent. Your mother's place - since she is so busy, then we should go less often. Isn't it better to stay at home?"
Gu Qi's eyes sparkled: "Grandpa, this time Mom really wants me to go to her house!"
Mr. Gu wanted to say something, but in the end, he held back.
A child's love for his mother is unconditional. Even though Gu Qi was hurt again and again, he still stayed where he was, waiting for his mother to come back and pick him up.
Fortunately, this time, Gu Qi didn’t have to wait too long.
Zhou Xin and Liu Anqin arrived before noon.
Gu Qi rushed forward, but was blocked by Zhou Xin when he was half a meter away from Liu Anqin.
"Xiao Qi, be careful." Zhou Xin said.
Liu Anqin smiled and said, "It's okay, Xiaoqi knows her limits."
Afterwards, Gu Qi got in the car.
Liu Anqin was also helped by Zhou Xin and sat in the passenger seat.
Looking at this scene, Mr. Gu's eyes dimmed and he looked at his grandson with heartache.
He thought, what was supposed to come finally came.
It’s a pity that the child didn’t understand anything yet and sat happily in the back seat of the car, full of anticipation.
It's really strange. The child is obviously very precocious, but when it comes to his mother's affairs, he becomes a childish little boy who wants to rely on adults.
"Xiao Qi, how are you doing in school recently? Are you behaving well?" Liu Anqin asked.
Gu Qi quickly opened his schoolbag and wanted to take out the prepared test paper. These are his test results during this period. Every time he got a perfect score, even if he didn’t get full marks, he was still among the top three in the class. Even the teacher praised him for being a good student.
"This is--"
"Look, Xiaoqi is not a child anymore, and you still ask him if he is good or not." Zhou Xin smiled and reached out to touch Liu Anqin's belly. "I wonder if our child will think that mom is nagging?"
Gu Qi was stunned for a moment, and his hand holding the test paper froze.
"I haven't told Xiaoqi yet." Liu Anqin said angrily.
"Then tell me now." Zhou Xin was in a particularly good mood, and turned back to Gu Qi with a smile and said, "Your mother is pregnant, and you will have a brother or sister in the future."
Gu Qi blinked slowly, and his heart, which had been beating wildly due to excitement, seemed to gradually calm down.
"Congratulations, Mom." Gu Qi said softly, "Congratulations to Uncle too."
This time, after Gu Qi arrived at the Zhou family, he found that the Zhou family treated him very well.
But this was so nice and polite that Gu Qi didn't mind at first, because he was indeed a guest in this house.
But he didn't expect that even his mother would be so polite to him.
This was the first time after Liu Anqin remarried that Gu Qi felt that his mother belonged to someone else.
He thought that he might never have the chance to come here again.
Sure enough, this time, when it was time to go home, Zhou Xin really said so.
"Xiao Qi, your mother has been pregnant for a short time and had a heavy bleeding. She can't be too bumpy or overworked. I have already asked for leave from her company for her, but I think your mother is most worried about you." Zhou Xin handed over a note. If you have any questions or need help while you are in school, you can call me at this number. As for your mother, why don't you let her have a good rest? ”
"Okay." Gu Qi held the note in his palm.
…
Su Jingjing recovered well and was discharged from the hospital shortly after gastric lavage.
According to the news brought by Zhang Lin, Chu You went to the police station and left not long after.
Without any evidence, the public security comrades will certainly not wrongly accuse anyone.
After Chu You returned to the group, everything was calm.
Everyone treated her strangely, but she didn't mind. Or at least, on the surface, she didn't seem to mind.
She did morning exercises alone, went to training alone, and went to eat alone, as if nothing had happened.
The previous "accidents" have been handed over to the public security comrades for investigation. Su Jingjing believes in the public security comrades and also believes that the leaders of the group will give her an explanation. In addition, Ruan Jinguo is there to protect her. Therefore, in front of her family, she used the excuse that the food in the cafeteria was unhygienic to get rid of the matter.
After all, her parents worried too much about her, and her brother always liked to make a big deal out of things, so it was better to keep it a secret from them.
Su Jingjing returned to the group a week later.
It happened to be the weekend, so Youyou and Chu Lei also came.
As soon as she saw Sister Jingjing, Youyou instantly became a chatterbox again.
Little Dumpling blinked his bright eyes and kept saying words that showed his concern for Su Jingjing, which made the other arts soldiers extremely envious.
“Youyou, why are you only nice to Sister Jingjing?” Zhang Lin raised her hand and put her thumb in front of Youyou, pretending to cry, “Look, when I went out this morning, I accidentally got my hand pierced by a splinter and it was bleeding.”
Youyou stretched her neck and stared at Zhang Lin's hand intently.
Zhao Ya laughed and said, "Youyou, you need to watch carefully, otherwise the wound on Sister Zhang Lin's hand will heal."
Zhang Lin glared at Zhao Ya unhappily and was about to tickle her when he suddenly saw Youyou's head move closer.
“Huff, huff!” Youyou puffed up her little face and blew hard twice, “Blow it and it won’t hurt anymore!”
As soon as Xiaotuanzi finished speaking, everyone laughed.
"Our Youyou is so cute."
"How did you teach such a warm little thing?"
"Sister likes you so much, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy you some candy this afternoon, okay?"
Youyou became the darling of the art troupe and was surrounded by the sisters.
The training room was bustling with activity, except for Chu You and Chu Lei, who were sitting in the corner and seemed out of place.
Chu You had long been accustomed to this feeling.
But Chu Lei's mood seemed very bad.
The few art soldiers she had tried to get close to before were now unwilling to pay attention to her. They all surrounded Youyou and were made to laugh by Youyou.
Chu Lei, who was used to being pampered, felt aggrieved in her heart and hated Chu You.
It’s all Chu You. If she didn’t have a sister like Chu You, would she be despised like this?
"Let's go have lunch first. After lunch, Youyou will go take a nap with Sister Xiaoshuang, and then continue practicing in the afternoon." Qin Xiaoshuang said.
"No! No!" Wang Qin shouted, "Youyou wants to sleep with me!"
Afterwards, Zhang Lin also joined their battle.
Seeing that she couldn't compete with them, Su Jingjing couldn't help but smile and shook her head, and let them do what they wanted.
Everyone came out of the training room with their lunch boxes and headed to the cafeteria.
Ever since the stomach upset incident, the canteen kitchen was cleaned up, and a young apprentice took out an empty pesticide bottle, saying that he had brought it from his hometown, which had been washed and used to hold some things. He didn't know if there was any pesticide residue on it, and it accidentally - got into the food.
This explanation was confusing, but the apprentice spoke with a local accent, had a sincere expression, and repeatedly stated that he did not mean it, so in the end he was just fired and the matter was over.
However, Nguyen Jinguo still believes that things are not that simple.
He was very cautious and prepared meals for Su Jingjing every morning and brought them to the group for her.
"What delicious food has your Comrade Ruan prepared?" Seeing Su Jingjing opening the lunch box, Zhang Lin immediately came over to take a look.
"Keep your voice down." Su Jingjing made a "hush" gesture. Ruan Jinguo was shy and specifically told her not to let Youyou know about this.
The dishes that Ruan Jinguo brought were sometimes cooked by himself and sometimes bought from state-owned restaurants.
Today he prepared braised pork. The braised pork, which was delicious in color, aroma and taste, was placed on the rice. Every grain of rice was soaked with gravy, which was really mouth-watering.
“Sister Jingjing, Youyou wants to eat too.” The little dumpling licked the corner of his mouth.
Su Jingjing smiled and picked up a piece for her.
Youyou took a small bite, pursed her lips, and showed a surprised expression. After a moment, she said seriously: "This is made by my uncle. He learned it from my mother."
Su Jingjing: ...
It's not her fault for not keeping her mouth shut, it's just that Ruan Jinguo's little niece has a very picky mouth and she tasted the flavor right away!
Su Jingjing didn't want to hide it. Since Youyou already knew that the dish was made by Ruan Jinguo, she admitted it openly.
Now, everyone became excited.
"Jingjing, are you in a relationship?"
"That day I saw a gay man coming to pick you up. He was quite tall and handsome."
"What unit is he from?"
Youyou answered all these questions in detail, which made Su Jingjing feel relieved.
But in the end, she still said embarrassedly: "We are not in a relationship, we are just good friends for now."
Zhang Lin narrowed his eyes and said to Youyou, "Youyou, your uncle is such a blockhead."
Youyou seemed to understand and nodded: "My mother said the same thing."
With everyone chatting and laughing here, Chu You and Chu Lei, who were sitting in the corner, seemed particularly lonely.
"Chu You, you are so annoying!" said Chu Lei.
Chu You ignored her and lowered his head to eat.
Chu Lei added: "Mom said, there are so many artists in the art troupe, and if something happens to one of them, why don't people suspect others but only you? It's because you have problems with your popularity that you are disliked!"
She chattered away, and when she saw Chu You ignored her, she frowned, "You annoying guy! No wonder you have no friends!"
After saying that, Chu Lei threw the chopsticks on the table, turned around and ran away.
Chu You knew that she was definitely going back to the dormitory to take a nap, so he ignored her and picked up the lunch box and chopsticks that Chu Lei had placed on the table.
At this time, Su Jingjing and the others had also finished eating.
When she passed by Chu You, she paused: "You can let her clean it up herself."
Chu You's back stiffened slightly: "I help her clean up at home, I'm used to it."
"The more you help her clean up, the more she will bully you." Su Jingjing said, "If you ignore her today, she will have no lunch box tomorrow, and she will know how to do her own thing."
Youyou nodded rapidly beside her.
Chu You didn't dare to look up at them, one hand still holding Chu Lei's lunch box.
Several other art soldiers came forward and took Su Jingjing away.
"Jingjing, why are you talking to her again?"
"Be careful, if something happens--"
"I don't think Chu You would do that." Su Jingjing said.
Chu You's hands froze and he slowly raised his eyes.
At that moment, she heard Su Jingjing say in a trusting tone that she would not do that.
Afterwards, she saw Youyou turn around and give her a warm smile.
…
"It's not Chu You." When Meng Jinyu came to her senses, she had already recalled the memories of Chu You from her previous life.
In his previous life, Chu You withstood the pressure in the performance in 1979 and presented a performance that could almost be said to be perfect.
It was also from that time that she was seen by more people and had more opportunities to shine on the stage.
Afterwards, Chu You participated in several major performances. Television had already become popular at that time, and she quickly became a household name once major cultural evenings were broadcast.
Chu You's career developed more and more smoothly, and she later became a famous singer. However, Meng Jinyu didn't remember it for a while because she had changed her name at that time.
She changed her name and even her last name, and published an advertisement in the newspaper to completely sever ties with her family.
It was also at that time that some media exposed a lot of information about Chu You.
They said that Chu You's family had been sucking her blood, especially her younger sister, who wanted to join the entertainment industry by taking advantage of her sister's relationship and did a series of shady things.
At the same time, there is also a small piece of news.
It turns out that Chu You has an avid fan.
That fan silently paid for Chu You, almost to the point of madness, and was finally thrown into jail because he "accidentally" hit and disabled Chu You's sister while driving.
Due to the bad impact, the newspaper only mentioned this matter briefly.
But Meng Jinyu remembered that at the end of the news, there was a description of the murderer - from the moment he first saw her in the canteen of the art troupe, he knew that his life would be ruined by this quiet art soldier.
At that time, Meng Jinyu just glanced at the newspaper and was disgusted by this whitewashing statement.
What does it mean that it fell on her?
He was wishful thinking and did so many bad things, yet he still had the nerve to do it in the name of so-called "love"!
But now it seems that everything has already had clues.
In the previous life, the person who brutally murdered Su Jingjing.
Maybe it's him.
"Shanshan, you stay at home. Mom is going to the city."
Meng Jinyu didn't waste even a second. She borrowed a bicycle from the village chief and rushed to the city.
…
Peng Zhi stood on the steps of the art troupe's dormitory building, looking coldly at Chu Lei who was holding the handrail and walking down the stairs carefully.
The child originally wanted to take a nap in the dormitory on the second floor, but when he reached the door, he realized that he didn't bring his key, so he went downstairs again to find Chu You to get the key.
As she walked away, she muttered unhappily, "This Chu You, she knew I didn't have the key, but she still didn't give it to me. When I come back later, I want her to carry me upstairs!"
Hearing this, Peng Zhi could no longer bear it, so he took a step forward and pushed her hard.
The little girl slipped after being pushed like this and rolled downstairs.
When she fell to the bottom, she immediately started crying, hugged her right leg, and rolled on the ground.
Peng Zhi looked down at her, feeling a sense of revenge in his heart.
This child has an arrogant personality and a dark heart. She has ordered her sister around and said hurtful words more than once.
Her sister didn't mind her, but he couldn't stand it.
Peng Zhi still remembers how fast his heart beat when he first saw Chu You.
At that time, he had just joined the art troupe canteen not long ago, and the chef in the kitchen took advantage of his seniority and threw all the dirty and tiring work on him.
Being an honest person, he could only endure it. He was the first one to arrive at the cafeteria every day and the last one to leave.
God knows, he really can't hold on any longer.
Until Chu You appeared.
When I met Chu You that day, she came alone.
She was alone, ordered a meal, sat in a corner, and ate quietly.
After eating, she took out her handkerchief and gently cleaned up the food residue on the table.
It can be seen that she is a girl who doesn't want to cause trouble to others.
He held the rag in his hand, and the softest part of his heart seemed to be hit by something.
Later, Peng Zhi kept paying attention to Chu You silently.
He had never seen a girl as fragile and beautiful as her. Whenever he looked at her secretly, he always felt that his world became brighter.
However, slowly, he began to feel sorry for her.
Because, although she is a kind and good person, fate is unfair to her.
She wanted to get closer to the other art soldiers, but they were very cold to her. She wanted to be nice to her sister, but her sister was always arrogant.
Also, she loves dancing so much and wants to step onto a higher stage, but the troupe leader gave the opportunity to Su Jingjing.
Why? She is no worse than anyone else, why should she suffer such injustice?
Peng Zhi has self-awareness.
He knew that he was not worthy of her and never expected her to give him a chance. He just wanted to help her silently behind her back, vent her anger, and help her clear all obstacles.
Therefore, he secretly dealt with Su Jingjing and pushed the annoying Chu Lei downstairs.
"Why did a child fall here?" A voice came, "Kid, are you okay?"
Peng Zhi dragged his legs, which made it difficult for him to walk, and left the dormitory building.
When Chu You and other art soldiers rushed to the dormitory building, they saw Chu Lei lying on the ground, crying loudly.
The team doctor came quickly and after a check, he said, "It might be a fracture. We need to go to the hospital immediately."
Several art soldiers helped and sent Chu Lei to the hospital.
The team doctor was experienced and asked someone to ride a bicycle to the hospital to inform them.
In Chu Lei's condition, an ambulance must be called to pick her up.
"Jingjing, don't go to the hospital. You have missed practice during this period. Make up for it in the training room in the afternoon." Captain Xu said.
"Okay." Su Jingjing nodded and looked at Chu Lei worriedly.
Although she didn't like the child, he was just a child after all. A child with a pale face due to pain looked very pitiful.
"Chu You, someone pushed me——" Chu Lei's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she grabbed Chu You's hand, "Push me——"
Chu You was startled: "Wait a minute, I'll go call my parents."
She quickly ran to the team leader's office and made a phone call. When she went out, she saw Peng Zhi humming a song and walking towards the canteen kitchen.
He walked very slowly, holding a bowl of noodles with meat sauce in his hand. The noodles were about to clumping together, but he was not in a hurry at all.
Chu You glanced at him and saw him quickly lower his head, blushing, and standing aside to make way for her.
As he passed by him, Chu You's brows furrowed slightly.
She smelled a strong odor of garlic on him.
That garlic smell -
She also smelled it when she picked up Chu Lei who had fallen to the ground.
Could it be him?
Although the garlic smell is not special, many people in the kitchen have it.
However, Chu You was still worried.
What if it was really him?
Don't take it lightly.
Thinking of this, Chu You quickly turned around and went back to the office.
She found the contact phone book of various units that Captain Xu had placed in the corner of his desk, found the phone number of the police station, and dialed it.
…
Chu Lei fell from the dormitory building of the art troupe. Captain Xu took it very seriously and rushed to the hospital with several art soldiers.
Su Jingjing stayed in the training room with Youyou to rehearse.
"Sister Jingjing, do you think Chu Lei's leg will get better?" Youyou asked.
"It should be possible, but it will take a hundred days to heal a broken bone, so she has to stay at home and recuperate." Su Jingjing said.
Youyou pursed her lips and said, "We have to be more careful when we walk in the future. It will be very painful if we fall down the stairs."
Su Jingjing also nodded.
She took Youyou to the training room and rehearsed for a long time.
Youyou is an extremely talented child. Despite her young age and without any dance foundation, she has been able to learn the dance moves very well just by watching them once.
Su Jingjing likes to teach Youyou to dance, because every time she sees this little girl practicing in a serious manner, it reminds her of her childhood.
At that time, she didn't have any teacher, but she just liked dancing. She always loved to wave her arms and legs and dance at home, which made her parents and brother applaud.
Sometimes Su Feng deliberately didn't applaud, but she was still unhappy. She put her hands on her hips and stamped her feet, insisting that her brother applaud her.
"Sister Jingjing, is Youyou great?" Youyou danced for a while, then stopped and asked.
Su Jingjing laughed and rubbed her head: "Great!"
Youyou was satisfied. She rubbed her eyes and wanted to sleep.
Children are full of energy, but they are used to taking naps, so they can’t bear not to sleep at this moment.
Su Jingjing took Youyou back to the dormitory, coaxed her to sleep, and went back to the training room.
At this moment, the training room was empty.
Although it’s a bit lonely, it’s easier to get into the state when practicing dancing alone.
Su Jingjing stood on tiptoe, bent her flexible waist backward, and put her hands in a ready position.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice came.
"Don't practice anymore."
Su Jingjing turned around and saw Peng Zhi.
She was surprised and said, "Master Peng, why are you——"
But before she finished her words, her peripheral vision had already caught sight of the kitchen knife in his hand.
Su Jingjing was startled and quickly hid back, forcing herself to ask in a calm tone: "Master Peng, why are you in the training room?"
But Peng Zhi just asked with a cold face: "Why do we have to practice? Isn't it good to let Chu You be the lead dancer?"
"You've taken all the lead dancing opportunities by yourself, so what should others do? Are they only worthy of being your foil?" He said as he walked in, holding the kitchen knife, "Chu You is also working so hard, can't you see it?"
Su Jingjing's heart trembled: "It's you! The one who broke my bicycle and put pesticides in the food is you."
"That's right." Peng Zhi snorted and laughed, not even close to his usual honest appearance. His face was gloomy and his eyes were paranoid. "As long as you die, Chu You will no longer be your foil."
Su Jingjing screamed in fright, turned around and ran out.
But although he didn't run as fast as her, he was much stronger than her. He grabbed her hair with one hand and threw her against the wall.
Su Jingjing slammed into the wall, feeling severe pain all over his body, and struggled to continue running away.
But Peng Zhi grabbed her by the back of the neck and she couldn't run at all.
She had no choice but to scream for help, but she knew in her heart that it was the weekend and the other groups were resting, while those in her group went to the hospital.
When Peng Zhi's cold and strange face approached her, Su Jingjing's pupils dilated unconsciously.
She huddled together and begged for mercy, asking him to let her go, but he pushed her to the ground like a madman.
Peng Zhi didn't say anything else to Su Jingjing. Instead, he raised the kitchen knife in his hand and swung it directly at her ankle.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, someone suddenly swooped over.
The moment she saw Ruan Jinguo, Su Jingjing was stunned, and then tears flowed down her face.
Peng Zhi didn't expect someone to suddenly appear, and he immediately became bloodthirsty and swung his knife at Ruan Jinguo.
"Be careful!" Su Jingjing screamed.
Ruan Jinguo blocked the kitchen knife with his arm, then kicked Peng Zhi away and covered his arm tightly.
Soon after, Meng Jinyu also ran over and shouted, "Comrade Public Security! Comrade Public Security! Over here!"
Several public security comrades rushed in and subdued him in no time.
When his hands were handcuffed with shiny handcuffs, Peng Zhi was completely stunned.
Ruan Jinguo covered his arm, felt a pain and let out a hiss.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Su Jingjing cried as she looked for the wound on his arm. "You're bleeding a lot."
Ruan Jinguo shook his head: "It's okay, don't worry."
"Why are you here?" Su Jingjing's eyes were red and her face was covered with tear marks, looking pitiful.
"My sister came to see me just now and asked me to come to the art troupe. When we arrived at the entrance of the art troupe, we saw the public security comrades walking over here. We were worried that you were in danger, so I slipped in first when the guards weren't paying attention. My sister stayed there and followed the public security comrades in." Ruan Jinguo breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately we made it in time."
A police officer said, "Who is Comrade Chu You? It was Comrade Chu You who reported to the police just now."
Peng Zhi was still struggling and roaring, but when he heard the words of the public security comrades, he froze as if he was struck by lightning.
It was Chu You who called the police.
How could it be——
He gave so much, all for her!
Peng Zhi was taken away by the public security comrades.
Ruan Jinguo was accompanied by Su Jingjing to the hospital to bandage his wounds.
Along the way, Su Jingjing supported him tightly, still feeling frightened when she thought of the scene just now.
"You should have waited until the public security comrades arrived, and then came with them." Su Jingjing said, "Peng Zhi is a madman, maybe--"
"Fortunately, I came early, otherwise you would be the one who got hurt!" Ruan Jinguo said anxiously.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
A blush unconsciously appeared on Su Jingjing's cheek.
…
After Peng Zhi was arrested, he initially refused to admit what he had done.
But when he was detained and taken out of the detention room, he saw Chu You.
"Do you think I'll be grateful to you for doing this?"
"So many people were hurt because of me. Do you think I should be grateful to you?"
Looking at Chu You's shocked and frightened expression, his heart felt as if it was torn apart.
Not long after, he finally confessed to what he had done.
This time, Peng Zhi will definitely not escape sanctions.
Meng Jinyu heard that he might be shot, but she felt that this was even too easy for him.
For people like this, it is not enough to go through the knives and the boiling water, or be cut into pieces.
After all, how much suffering did Su Jingjing endure in her previous life...
"Jin Guo, since you like her, just bring it up earlier and don't make the girl wait impatiently." Meng Jinyu said.
Ruan Jinguo waved his hand: "Sister, don't worry about it, I'm ready."
He is planning a big move!
In Meng Jinyu's words, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are dying of anxiety.
But she couldn't control so much, because her brother had grown up and was becoming more and more opinionated.
She guessed that Ruan Jinguo knew the matter well and didn't worry about it.
Time goes by day by day, and the summer holidays are approaching. The village will soon become lively.
Youyou still goes to the art troupe every week.
I heard that Chu You returned the position of lead dancer to Su Jingjing, but Su Jingjing did not blame her. She just said that such a thing happened was unexpected by anyone.
Chu Lei was seriously injured and stayed in the hospital for a long time. After being discharged, she cried and said that she never wanted to dance again.
Calm returned to the art troupe, and slowly, Chu You became closer and closer to everyone.
Although she was blamed by her sister and parents at home, the art troupe warmed her heart again.
And Youyou naturally became the little actor in the big song and dance show in July.
But before going to Ling City to perform, she had more important things to do.
That is——
Skip a grade!
Lin Li rested for a while after giving birth and returned to the commune primary school to teach first graders.
Knowing that Youyou was thinking about skipping a grade, she fought for an opportunity for her.
When Youyou learned that Teacher Lin had made an appointment with the second-grade teacher to invite her to an interview, she was extremely happy.
She is very experienced in interviews and such, so Xiaotuanzi is not worried at all and is counting the days in anticipation.
Finally, this day has come.
…
Early in the morning, Jiang Huanming met Nie Xiaojia in the village.
Ever since the incident with Jin Minmin, Jiang Huanming would hide whenever he saw Nie Xiaojia, but this time, he was caught red-handed.
"Uncle Jiang." Nie Xiaojia looked at Jiang Huanming, tears in her watery eyes.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Huanming asked.
Nie Xiaojia said aggrievedly: "My mother was arrested by the police, and I don't know when she will come home."
"When you are fifteen, your mother will come back," said Jiang Huanming.
"Fifteen years old, that's too long!" Nie Xiaojia was stunned, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Grandma doesn't like me. She scolds me every day and doesn't let me have enough food. Uncle Jiang, can you adopt me? I'll live in your house, okay? I can wash your clothes and cook for you, and I'll definitely be filial to you when I grow up."
Jiang Huanming never thought that Nie Xiaojia would make such an unreasonable request.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and before he could refuse, he heard Jiang Guo's sarcastic voice coming from not far away.
"Uncle Jiang, Youyou is going to school today to attend a grade skipping interview. Do you want to go?"
When Jiang Huanming heard this, he felt as if his butt was on fire and immediately rode away on his bicycle.
When he got to Youyou's side, he carried the child onto the bike and said, "The weather is too hot. Dad will take you there on his bike."
That day Meng Jinyu was sick, and all the children gathered around her kang to take care of her, which really made Jiang Huanming envious.
All he wants now is to be nicer to the children while they are still young. In the future, these grateful children will repay him.
Youyou didn’t know why her father suddenly showed his attention to her, but she didn’t want to walk such a long way to school anyway, so she got in the car obediently.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Guo smiled and said, "Uncle Jiang, walk slowly!"
Jiang Huanming gritted his teeth and said, "Don't shout!"
After saying that, he glanced at Nie Xiaojia who was looking at him dimly, pedaled on the pedals, and rode away in a whoosh.
Why is it that being a mother is difficult, and being a daughter is also so difficult?
Jiang Huanming felt a terrible headache when he thought that Nie Xiaojia might ask him to adopt her after he came back.
He didn't want people to think that he had any connection with Jin Minmin!
Nie Xiaojia stood there, looking at Uncle Jiang as if he had seen a ghost and pushed him away.
She burst into tears and felt more and more aggrieved.
She can't go back to her grandma's house, absolutely not.
Since Uncle Jiang is unwilling to adopt her, there must be other kind-hearted people in this village who will sympathize with her situation, right?
Nie Xiaojia turned around and looked around.
…
As soon as Youyou arrived at the gate of the commune primary school, she saw Gu Qi.
She ran forward happily: "Brother Gu Qi, long time no see! What good news did your mother tell you last time?"
But as soon as she said this, she suddenly realized that Brother Gu Qi's expression was wrong.
Youyou was a little puzzled, but the thoughtful little dumpling immediately stopped asking any further questions.
It was Gu Qi himself who spoke bitterly: "My mother is pregnant."
Youyou's eyes gradually dimmed along with the gloomy expression on Gu Qi's face.
She sighed softly.
"How's Youyou?" Gu Qi smiled gently, "Are you preparing for the performance well?"
"Okay!" Youyou nodded vigorously. "I'm leaving for Ling City to perform in a few days! I heard that there are a lot of delicious food in Ling City. When the time comes, Youyou will bring some for you."
"I know Ling City." Gu Qi was slightly startled, and said slowly, "That's where my father went on a mission."
Suddenly, Gu Qi felt a little envious of Youyou.
He really wanted to go to the place where his father died and take a look.
"Youyou, daddy hasn't gone in yet--" Jiang Huanming kept shouting from behind, but Xiaotuanzi had already walked into the school with her friends without even turning her head back.
He wanted to go in with Youyou and witness with his own eyes the moment when his little girl skipped a grade.
Moreover, he also wanted to establish a good relationship with this girl, so that when the little girl went to Ling City for a performance next time, she could take him with her.
I just don't know if there is any way for the art troupe to allow him to go in and watch their own children's performance.
The old guard of the commune primary school glanced at Jiang Huanming and said, "Why does this kid run away the more he is yelled at? Comrade, you are not qualified as a father. When my daughter and son were young, they would pester me everywhere and loved me so much."
Jiang Huanming pursed his lips, feeling unhappy, but afraid that he would not be allowed in, he said in a gentle voice: "Can I go in? Today is the day of my daughter's interview for grade skipping, and I want to be with her."
"Okay, please register." The old guard threw a notebook over.
Jiang Huanming took a pen, wrote his name on it, and then proudly wrote his work unit, trying to blind the old security guard.
The old security guard took the notebook, took a look at it, and actually showed a shocked expression.
Jiang Huanming raised the corner of his mouth and raised his eyebrows: "Can I go in?"
"Your name is Jiang Huanming?" asked the old guard.
"Yes." Jiang Huanming said.
The old guard frowned and said, "Hiss - I remember that our Youyou's last name is Meng. This little girl is well-known in the school. Her name is Meng Youyou."
Jiang Huanming's face suddenly changed, and he turned ashen: "Yes, her mother and I——"
"Don't say any more." The old guard understood immediately and said sympathetically, "You are marrying into the wife's family, right? No gay man wants to talk about such a thing. I understand. It's not shameful to marry into the wife's family. It's just a little embarrassing. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you. Go in quickly."
Jiang Huanming was so angry that all the blood in his body rushed to his head.
However, the old guard had already opened the door and let him in.
Not long after he went in, he couldn't help but look back again.
I saw the old security guard grinning, and there seemed to be five words written on his face - marrying into the wife's family, I understand.
…
While Jiang Huanming was dealing with the old security guard, little Youyou had already successfully met her second-grade homeroom teacher.
However, what the teacher said made the little girl’s mouth open into an “O” shape.
