Chapter 472 Chive Box 4

This time I brought back a lot of things, including half a bag of dried sweet potatoes, a few pounds of fine grains, and various wild vegetables, green vegetables, and spring sprouts.

First, she sent Lu Tianjun to school, and waited for Feng Qingxue and others to return to the compound. The afterglow had faded and night had fallen. Chen Xuenniang said goodbye to them at the back door and went straight into her home, ignoring the curses from Wang Erniu after she heard the noise.

Mother Cheng saved some food for the girls, and specially cooked egg noodles for Xibao. While feeding Xibao, she said, "I can smell Chinese toon sprouts. I haven't eaten them for a long time. Let's buy some tofu tomorrow and mix them with tofu for dinner. Oh, I can also smell acacia sprouts. We relied on them to save our lives in the first two years! But we all got swollen all over. Alas!"

"Edema is not caused by eating acacia buds." Feng Qingxue swallowed the food in her mouth. "Edema is caused by hunger, which leads to extreme lack of nutrition, lack of protein and vitamins, so you get edema."

Mother Cheng sighed, "This year is finally better than previous years."

Feng Qingxue deeply agreed.

Although hunger is still the biggest challenge at present, it is much better than those three years.

After dinner, she and Wang Cuilan cleaned up the dishes together, locked the food they brought back into the cupboard, and put the fresh vegetables in the kitchen. While they were busy, they heard a knock on the door.

"Who is this?" Wang Cuilan went over to open the door, and it turned out to be Zhang Yi's parents.

Secretary Zhang of the Standing Committee is called Zhang Tiezhu, and his wife is called Hong Damei. Both of them are straightforward people. When the latter saw Wang Cuilan, she held her hand and said, "Cuilan, you have to testify for my Xiaoyi! We can't let him be harmed by people with ulterior motives! Why is our Xiaoyi so unlucky? It was just a meeting, wasn't it? It's normal for young men and women to meet and nothing happens. Why did he get into trouble!"

Hong Damei was crying but her voice was so loud that Feng Qingxue could hear it clearly in the kitchen.

It must be Zhao Mingfang who came back to cause trouble. The most likely possibility is that she told everyone that Zhang Yi was a hooligan to her.

Wang Cuilan knew what was going on and quickly invited them into the house to talk.

When Hong Damei saw Cheng Baoguo and Cheng's father and mother, she couldn't help but pour out all her grievances.

"Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng, Secretary Cheng and Mayor Cheng, tell me, is our Xiaoyi wronged?" Hong Damei wiped away her tears, "Zhao Mingfang went back and told her parents that Xiaoyi had been rude to her, his clothes were torn open, and the buttons fell off! Zhao Yide and Wang Fengmei came to settle accounts with us, and insisted that Xiaoyi marry Zhao Mingfang. How could it be possible? Our family is not stupid, would we marry such a daughter-in-law? But someone with good intentions reported Xiaoyi to Xiaoyi's unit, saying that Xiaoyi had problems with his lifestyle and was rude to female comrades. It was probably someone who saw them arguing at the time. Xiaoyi really had no way to defend himself, and now he has been arrested! Fortunately, he said that Cuilan, Chen Xuenniang, and another female comrade who seemed to be Zhao Mingfang's cousin could testify for him, so I came to find you!"

Wang Cuilan immediately said, "Don't cry, Damei. I have seen everything that happened. Don't worry, I will go to testify for Zhang Yi tomorrow morning. I will also ask Xue Niang and my daughter Qingxue to come with me. I will make sure that Zhang Yi comes out safely and with a clean conscience."

Hong Damei immediately thanked her profusely, "I'll trouble you when the time comes, Cuilan."

"Thank you, Comrade Cuilan and this female comrade. We will go back first. We have to find Secretary Huang and ask him to testify for Xiaoyi to prove that there was no follow-up after the meeting." Zhang Tiezhu was very angry now. Zhao Mingfang was introduced by Secretary Huang, but the two did not work out. Secretary Huang later introduced Zhou Yulan to Zhang Yi.
