Chapter 676 The man is a gigolo (thirty-six)
Snap!
Zhou Ziqin put down the phone receiver!
She supported herself on the table with both hands, took deep breaths, and tried her best to calm herself down.
It has already happened, and being angry, scared, crying, etc. will not help.
Can’t mess up! Qingcheng is sick, my parents are old, and I’m the only one left at home. I absolutely can’t mess up because of my concern!
Thinking of her ignorant parents-in-law, Zhou Ziqin felt more and more eager to calm herself down.
Yes! And my parents!
She couldn't let anything happen to them again.
"Qingcheng's mother! Qingcheng's mother! Are you okay?"
Just as Zhou Ziqin was trying hard to adjust his emotions, the voice of the village chief came to his ears.
Zhou Ziqin woke up suddenly and turned around quickly, just in time to see her mother-in-law sitting on the ground with her eyes wide open.
"mother!"
"Xiaoqin, what happened? Who, who vomited blood?"
"...Mom, Qingcheng has been rescued and is recuperating in the hospital. I will book a ticket immediately and go over to take care of him."
"I'll go too! My son, he's only in his twenties."
Vomiting blood at such a young age is not a good sign.
Gu's mother is indeed fierce. Once she starts making a fuss, she is like a fearless "female warrior".
In fact, she still has some inherent "traditions" in her bones - men are the backbone of the family.
The Three Obediences and Four Virtues, perhaps she herself was not aware of it, but she still relied on them out of habit.
When at home, my father is the head of the family.
After getting married, her husband was a coward and she had to support the family.
However, in her subconscious, she still relied on her husband whom she scolded all the time.
Now, my son has grown up and become the new pillar of the family.
Gu's mother regarded her son as her greatest spiritual support.
But just now, she heard the news that her son was vomiting blood.
Mother Gu's eyes went dark and she became extremely panicked.
Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, unable to stand up.
"Mom, don't worry, Qingcheng will be fine."
Zhou Ziqin tried her best to comfort her mother-in-law, but she herself looked pale and had tears in her eyes.
The village chief, the driver and others all felt their hearts sinking when they saw this: Oh, Qingcheng (Expert Gu)’s condition doesn’t seem to be very good.
They have only heard of stories of people working so hard that they vomit blood in newspapers and conferences.
I feel that such heroes and models are very far away from me.
I didn't expect that there would be such a role model among the people I know.
People of this era are simple and passionate.
They worship heroes and chase after heroes. They may not be able to reach that level, but they will never laugh at others for being "stupid".
"Comrade Zhou, Expert Gu is sick from exhaustion. Are you going to the grassland to take care of him?"
The driver was deeply moved and looked directly at Zhou Ziqin.
Zhou Ziqin nodded, "Qingcheng is still in the hospital. I'm worried. I want to go and see him."
"Then I'll help you book the train ticket!"
The driver puffed out his chest. He might not be able to become a hero, but he could do something for a hero.
As a driver at the diesel engine factory, he still has some connections in the county.
As train tickets are in short supply nowadays, the driver should be able to book a ticket if he thinks of a way.
Zhou Ziqin: ...
Although it is not necessary, it is a thoughtful gesture from others.
"Thank you, comrade!"
"You're welcome. Expert Gu has helped our factory so much, and now he is only doing this for work—"
The driver was a little embarrassed, but he continued to be positive, "Comrade Zhou, when are you leaving? I'll drive you to the station!"
Zhou Ziqin: ...Of course the sooner the better.
However, this also depends on the time of departure of the train.
And here at the Gu family——
Just as Zhou Ziqin was thinking about this, Mother Gu said in a hurry, "Xiaoqin, I'm going too! I want to go to the grassland and see my Qingcheng!"
"...Okay, Mom, you go too!"
Zhou Ziqin knew that if something like this happened and was known to Gu's mother, she would definitely make a scene.
Zhou Ziqin was not worried about anything else. She was just afraid that once she got to the grassland, her fierce mother-in-law would take the opportunity to get angry!
Zhou Ziqin was not doing this for her second uncle, but because she was afraid that her mother-in-law's crying would affect Gu Qingcheng.
Qingcheng was so tired that he vomited blood, which in itself is a great sentiment of sacrificing oneself for the public.
But if the mother-in-law were to cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to hang herself, it would certainly make people feel that Gu Qingcheng was not so glorious and upright.
Zhou Ziqin is very smart. Once she calms down and regains her sanity, she will think about things more comprehensively.
This is an era that emphasizes sacrifice and dedication.
The candle spirit, the screw spirit...not only requires the individual to be a model of selflessness, but also the family members to have a high enough ideological level.
If family members don’t perform well enough, it will also affect me!
Zhou Ziqin didn't want Gu Qingcheng to vomit blood in vain.
The village chief knew his priorities and didn't care about the money. He took the key and opened the wooden box of the telephone.
The driver rushed over, grabbed the phone and started dialing.
"Director! It's me! Not Comrade Zhou, it's Expert Gu who's in trouble!"
"He was supporting a project on the grassland and ended up vomiting blood from exhaustion."
"Comrade Zhou wants to go to the grassland as soon as possible. You see——"
"Yes! Train tickets to the grassland, preferably a sleeper berth!"
"In addition to Comrade Zhou, there is also Expert Gu's mother."
"Okay! Okay! I'll wait for your reply!"
The driver talked nonstop into the phone.
After a while, he ended the call.
He looked up at Zhou Ziqin and the others, "Our factory director is going to find a solution. There will be news soon!"
"Once we have booked the tickets, we will set off!"
Zhou Ziqin glanced at Gu's mother, who nodded quickly.
After getting a response from Gu's mother, Zhou Ziqin looked at the driver again, "Okay! Then I'll trouble the factory manager!"
"Comrade Zhou, why don't you go back and pack up first? I'll wait for the call here!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"As soon as I have any news, I will tell you the first time!"
The driver glanced at the pale-faced mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and said with some sympathy.
Zhou Ziqin: ...Actually, she also wanted to call one of her uncle’s soldiers in the county and ask him to help book a train ticket.
However, the leaders of the diesel engine factory had already agreed and were trying hard to find a solution. It was not convenient for Zhou Ziqin to ask others for help in front of the driver.
After thinking about it, Zhou Ziqin nodded, "Okay!"
Then give the people from the diesel engine factory an hour. If they can't handle it, you can contact my uncle's people.
Besides, the family really needs to make some arrangements! "Mom, let's go home first!"
Zhou Ziqin helped Gu's mother up and spoke softly.
"Um!"
Gu's mother gradually calmed down. She wiped her tears with her sleeve and held her daughter-in-law's arm tightly.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law snuggled together, left the village chief's house and headed towards the Gu family.
At the same time, the number of people gathering at Gu's house has not decreased, but has been increasing.
Father Gu was an honest man who was not good at speaking. He was quite at a loss as to what to do with the enthusiasm of everyone.
He only remembered one thing: listen to the old woman and take care of the house! Everyone was still talking about it at this time -
"What happened?"
"Oh, there won't be any trouble in Qingcheng."
"What kind of trouble can he have? He is an expert that is valued even by the diesel engine factory."
"Yes, even his wife can be picked up and dropped off by car. Hey, do you think this is the reason for the trouble?"
Although I paid for the gas myself, I still feel like I'm taking advantage of the public.
If someone reports it, it will be a troublesome thing.
Everyone was talking at once, and their ideas were all kinds of weird.
At this moment, two or three half-grown children came running over: "He's vomiting blood! Brother Qingcheng was so busy with work that he vomited blood!"
"Uncle Qingcheng is sick and has been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment! Second Grandma was so worried that she cried!"
The naughty kids were so excited that they acted as perfect trumpets.
They just want to show that they know everything, and they don't think too much about it, let alone be tactful or cover up.
When these words were spoken, the onlookers on the walls, in the yard, and in the house of Gu's house were all stunned.
"Vomit, vomit blood?"
What is going on? The Qingcheng daughter-in-law returns home in glory, and the Gu family is filled with flowers and splendor.
The joyous atmosphere hasn't even faded yet, how come such a disaster happened?
"What? What happened to my son?"
Although Father Gu is a coward, he is still a father.
Upon hearing that his greatest "achievement" in his life had gone wrong, he stood up suddenly and rushed out without caring about anything.
Perhaps he was too anxious, or perhaps he was too panicked, but when Gu's father was running away, he was knocked down by the crutch in his hand.
Plop! The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Snap!
The sound of bones breaking that makes people feel a little toothache.
"Gu Laoshi?"
"Second brother!"
"Qingcheng's father!"
When Zhou Ziqin helped her mother-in-law back to the Gu family's yard, she saw several people carrying Gu's father out.
Zhou Ziqin and Gu's mother felt anxious again and their breathing almost stopped.
Misfortunes never come alone! The driver who was waiting at the village head's house didn't care to continue squatting, and drove the small jeep to send Gu's father to the county hospital.
"Qingcheng, what happened to Qingcheng?"
Although he was sweating profusely from the pain of his broken leg, Father Gu was still thinking about his son.
Seeing him like this, I swallowed back the curses and complaints that were about to come out of my mouth.
Taking a deep breath, Mother Gu, who was always aggressive and never polite to her husband, said softly, "Qingcheng has been rescued."
"Okay, you're already sick, so stop thinking about it!"
"Ah, it's my fault too. Why would I curse you for no reason?"
As Mother Gu spoke, tears began to flow again.
She stretched out her hand, originally wanting to touch her old man's leg, but was afraid of hurting him, so she turned her hand halfway and helped Father Gu wipe the sweat off his face.
"I've asked someone to go to school to call the second and third children. You just stay at home and take care of yourself."
"Xiaoqin and I are going to the grassland. You guys just stay at home and don't worry!"
Father Gu: ...How can I not worry!
Qingcheng was his biological son, his pride, his lifeblood! But he was incompetent and could break his leg even when walking on flat ground.
No matter how worried I am, I can't help my son.
Father Gu gritted his teeth and wanted to slap himself a few times: Why are you so useless? It would be fine if you couldn't help, but you actually hindered us! In order not to make things worse, Father Gu had to agree to Mother Gu's arrangement...
