After a while of debating whether to go or not, Zhou Guihua said, "Let's go, otherwise it won't look good here."
After all, Fucai was saved by the Song family, so there is nothing wrong with taking a trip.
But they definitely couldn't go empty-handed, but they would also feel bad if they took too much. Finally, Zhou Guihua carried a basket and went in the direction of Old Song's house.
Shen Cuicui didn't want to go over, and didn't let Yang Fucai go. After watching Zhou Guihua leave, she turned and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
At this moment, everyone in the team was cooking, and only a few children were playing outside. Zhou Guihua didn't want to meet anyone, so she went all the way to Old Song's house.
"Her Aunt Feng." Zhou Guihua called out from outside.
Feng Guizhi was making malted milk for Tiantian, while Yang Yulan and Chen Xiuxiu were cooking in the kitchen. Hearing the noise, Feng Guizhi put down the teapot beside her, and went out with Tiantian in her arms.
Seeing that it was Zhou Guihua, she said politely, "It's Aunt Fucai, come in and sit down."
Feng Guizhi wasn't surprised to see Zhou Guihua coming; she had expected them to make this trip. After all, everyone in the brigade was watching, and it would be a bit embarrassing if they didn't even try to show some respect.
"I won't sit down anymore. I didn't come here for anything else. I just wanted to express my gratitude to the patriots and the people for saving my family's wealth."
After a few polite words of thanks, Zhou Guihua got down to business. "We really don't have much left at home right now. You know Kangjian isn't in good health, and Fucai has been weak since childhood, so we gave them everything we had to nourish their bodies. So this time, I only brought this little bit. Aunt Feng, please don't think it's too little."
Zhou Guihua said as she lifted the cloth covering the basket, revealing the contents: three eggs, three or four dark-faced steamed buns, and a handful of green beans.
Seeing this, Feng Guizhi's expression faded a little. She held Tiantian in both hands, patting her gently, without freeing her hands to take her, and only said:
"I haven't done anything patriotic or public service. Anyone else in the team would do the same if they saw me. No need to come over and thank me. Just take the things back with you. We can't take them."
"That's fine, after all, it's a great help to our family. Aunt Feng, are you not accepting it because it's too little?"
Zhou Guihua sighed and said, "Oh, I'm really sorry, my family
I searched the place but couldn't find anything good. I did have a few eggs, but I was planning to save them for Fucai's health. He was so scared yesterday and still a little dazed today. If he wasn't so young, I would have taken them all to thank him for his patriotism.
Hearing her say this, Feng Guizhi said: "Why would I dislike it? I just feel that I didn't do anything, so I can't be so shameless as to accept it. We are all from the same brigade, and we usually help each other. This is what we should do. So don't be polite. I will accept it on behalf of loving the country and the people. You should take the food back and save it for Fucai."
"I've already brought them here, so there's no point in taking them back. Just collect them quickly. If you don't, it means you don't like them. Then I'll go back and pack the remaining eggs and come back again."
“…”
Since Zhou Guihua said so, how could Feng Guizhi refuse? In the end, she had no choice but to accept it.
"Please put the things in the house. I have to take the basket back."
"Okay, okay." Feng Guizhi held Tiantian in one hand and carried a basket into the kitchen with the other hand. She took out the eggs, steamed buns and beans and put them on the chopping board.
Zhou Guihua followed him to the kitchen door. She smelled the aroma wafting from the pot, looked inside curiously, and asked, "Old Third, what are you cooking? It smells so good. You must have used a lot of oil, right?"
Zhou Guihua smelled the food and felt a little confused. They said that the Song family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, but the food looked pretty good.
Yang Yulan paused while cooking and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
It was still Chen Xiuxiu who said, "I just picked some greens from the field and fried them. I didn't use much oil. My third sister-in-law is a good cook. Everything she cooks tastes good."
Zhou Guihua shook her head and retorted, "If you want to make the dish delicious, you still have to put more oil and more ingredients, otherwise how can it be delicious?"
As he said this, he wanted to go further inside to see what dishes the Song family cooked, but he was stopped by Feng Guizhi who came over after putting the food down.
Feng Guizhi handed the basket back to Zhou Guihua and said, "I've accepted all the things. Thank you Aunt Zhou for your hard work and for making you run all this way. I'll give my words of thanks to the Patriots and the People later."
Zhou Guihua was stopped by Feng Guizhi and it was not easy for her to go in again. She then looked towards the kitchen with the basket.
After one look, he turned around and left: "Okay, then I won't stay any longer. My family is waiting for me to cook."
Feng Guizhi responded and walked Zhou Guihua out without asking her to stay for dinner.
After getting outside, Feng Guizhi said something, then turned around and carried Tiantian back to the house. She went to the main room and continued to make malted milk for Tiantian, then held her and fed her a bowl. The little one licked her little mouth and smacked her lips with satisfaction, which made people feel soft-hearted.
The unhappiness that Feng Guizhi had felt in her heart just now disappeared.
......
Zhou Guihua started walking back with the basket. At this time, some families in the brigade had already prepared their meals. Some were eating inside, while others were sitting at the door with their bowls in hand, eating and chatting at the same time.
Then, I saw Zhou Guihua passing by.
"Hey, Aunt Zhou, are you going to Old Song's house?" Zhang's daughter-in-law looked up at her and asked hurriedly.
Normally, no one in the brigade would have wanted to greet her. After all, which child in the brigade hadn't been approached by someone from the Yang family? So, they usually just pretended not to see her and let it go.
But today, everyone was thinking about what happened yesterday when Song Aiguo and Song Aimin saved her grandson, and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Zhou Guihua stopped and nodded in response, "Yes, I did go there."
The woman next to her saw the basket Zhou Guihua was carrying and asked, "Are you carrying anything with you? What are you carrying?"
"It's nothing valuable, just some eggs or something. I hope Aunt Feng doesn't mind it."
Zhou Guihua spoke vaguely, and everyone thought that she was just being modest when she said the worthless things were worthless. After all, "some eggs" were already a lot.
The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law looked at each other in surprise, as if they had not expected Zhou Guihua to be so generous.
"Aunt Zhou is really willing to give it up, but it's also true. After all, it's out of patriotism and love for the people that Fucai was saved this time. No matter how valuable something is, how can it be more important than a grandson?"
Others also recalled yesterday's events, sighing a little: "Yesterday's events were truly thrilling. All thanks to the eldest and second brothers."
"The human traffickers have been caught, and everyone in our team can rest assured."
“…”
Listening to them start praising the people of the Old Song family, Zhou Guihua did not stay any longer, and after saying a few words, she raised her head and
I walked back home. Anyway, today's incident was over.
When Zhou Guihua arrived home, the Song family had already started having dinner. Everyone sat in the main room and started eating with chopsticks.
Chen Xiuxiu hadn't had time to speak just now, but she immediately asked, "Mom, were those things brought by Zhou Guihua?"
Feng Guizhi nodded as a sign of agreement.
"Did Zhou Guihua only take those things, or did you not keep them all?" Chen Xiuxiu couldn't help but ask.
Feng Guizhi said lightly: "Everything in the basket was left." In other words, Zhou Guihua brought those things.
Chen Xiuxiu's face wrinkled after hearing this, she was both angry and speechless: "I knew this old woman wouldn't bring anything good, but, by bringing these things, is she really thanking me or is she deliberately trying to annoy me?"
She didn't say she wanted anything really valuable, but Zhou Guihua brought over three eggs and black-faced steamed buns. What did that mean?
Although people are poor these days and don't have many good things at home, every family raises chickens. No matter how many, they definitely have some eggs saved.
Take Erdan's family, for example. She even gave them over twenty eggs and some brown sugar. Her family wasn't well off, but she gave so much out of a genuine desire to thank the Song family. And the Yang family, as the only barefoot doctor in the brigade, were definitely better off than the others in the clinic.
As a result, three eggs were brought over.
The eggs were fine, but the thought of a few black-faced buns really made her feel uncomfortable. The Song family had been poor before, but not so poor they couldn't afford to eat. Asking for a few black-faced buns was a shame. Even white-faced buns would have looked better.
From this point, it can be seen that Zhou Guihua did not regard the Song family as her benefactors at all, otherwise she would not have done such a thing. Perhaps in her heart, she felt that the Song family had taken advantage of these things.
This is what makes Chen Xiuxiu most angry.
"What did she bring?" Song Aiguo, who was standing next to her, saw Chen Xiuxiu's angry face and asked in confusion.
Chen Xiuxiu sneered and said, "Three eggs, three and a half dark-grain steamed buns, and a handful of green beans."
Sun Suyun listened
He frowned and repeated uncertainly, "Three eggs? Three and a half black-faced steamed buns?"
"That's right."
Everyone at the table was at a loss for words. They didn't care about such a small thing. But if you didn't express your gratitude, no one would say anything. If you really wanted to express your gratitude, you shouldn't have done such a thing. It was completely unnecessary to get to this point.
When giving something to someone, no one would give a black-faced steamed bun, unless it was a beggar.
There was silence at the table for a few seconds, and then Song Aiguo exhaled and spoke first: "It's already given, let's put this matter behind us. We didn't really want this little thing anyway."
Song Aimin also said: "Brother is right. Anyway, now we know what kind of people they are, let's stay away from them in the future."
"Let's not get involved in the Yang family's affairs from now on."
Chen Xiuxiu was a little angry at first, but she was no longer angry after hearing this, because it was not worth it to make such a person angry and make herself miserable.
"Let's eat."
The family finished their dinner quietly, not letting this incident affect their mood anymore.
......
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. The sky outside gradually darkened, and a black veil gradually enveloped the entire production team.
The night returned to silence, with only the faint chirping of insects.
However, soon a sound was heard: "Dong Dong Dong..."
