"Excuse me, is this Comrade Song Jianye's home?" the cadre from the county asked at the door.
Feng Guizhi was washing pots in the kitchen when she heard the noise and came out. She wiped her hands on her apron and looked at the people and asked, "Yes, yes. May I ask who you are?"
However, although she asked this, Feng Guizhi had actually guessed something in her heart. She guessed that the person who came should be a cadre from the county town.
"We are from the county government. My last name is Sun, and this person's last name is Yang. We are here mainly to learn some information from Comrade Song Jianye."
The cadre who was speaking was named Sun Mingxiang. The one next to him, who looked slightly younger, was named Yang Peiwen.
"Oh, it turns out you are a cadre from the city. Come over and sit for a while." Feng Guizhi hurriedly welcomed the person in.
However, neither of them sat down and said directly, "Let's go find Comrade Song Jianye to find out more about the situation. If he's available right now, please take us there."
Feng Guizhi originally wanted to ask them a few questions first, but now she could only take them directly to Song Jianye's room.
Song Jianshe, who was in the east room next door with Tiantian, came out when he heard the noise and followed them to the west room.
"Jianye, the county leaders are here to ask you something, so we came in." They had just finished their meal, Baoya was taking a nap in the house, Yang Yulan and Song Jianye were also resting, and Feng Guizhi said at the door.
"Okay, okay." Song Jianye and Yang Yulan looked at each other in the room and said.
Feng Guizhi opened the door and walked in with the two cadres. Song Jianshe brought two benches for them to sit on.
After all, they were in someone else's home. Although Sun Mingxiang and Yang Peiwen felt a little uncomfortable with so many people watching them, they couldn't ask them to leave. So they just turned to Song Jianye and started talking:
"We came here today to ask you about the rescue situation. Can you tell us more about it?" Sun Mingxiang asked, while Yang Peiwen next to him opened a notebook and took notes.
Song Jianye glanced at Feng Guizhi and the others, then began to describe the situation in detail. Anticipating questions, Song Jianye had recalled it several times, so this time he spoke clearly and fluently.
As he spoke, Sun Mingxiang would ask a few more questions: "Did you save a child? How old was he? A boy or a girl?"
"The boy is about eight or nine years old, around ten years old.
Right. The situation was quite urgent at the time, and I couldn't see clearly." Song Jianye said after thinking for a moment.
Sun Mingxiang nodded, and Yang Peiwen beside him wrote everything down. Song Jianye continued to talk, and Sun Mingxiang would ask again from time to time:
"You mean two people took you to the hospital? Who were those two people? Which hospital did you go to?"
Song Jianye told them all one by one.
"Was your leg broken at that time? Is it healed now? Who was the doctor who examined your leg?"
The hospital doctor, Song Jianye, was unknown. The team members mentioned Old Yangtou, and Zhao Rongsheng was definitely off limits. As for how his legs healed, he could only say he'd used traditional remedies, which weren't particularly effective; it just wasn't noticeable when he walked.
"You haven't mentioned this before, have you? You did a good deed and broke your leg because of it. Why didn't you tell anyone why?"
"It was just a chance encounter at the time, and I didn't have time to think too much. I just wanted to save the person. But after breaking my leg, I felt guilty towards my family. After all, they must be heartbroken by my injury. Also, if this matter gets out, everyone will definitely discuss it. I can't predict how it will spread. I just did what I had to do, and I don't need others to know."
Hearing Song Jianye say this, Sun Mingxiang couldn't help but look up at him. His words were simple and sincere.
After carefully questioning everyone, the two men didn't even stay for a cup of tea. They just left with their notebooks and went to the home of the team leader Song Yuangang.
I asked Song Yuangang how he knew that Song Jianye had done good deeds, and how he heard Song Jianye talk about it.
Song Yuangang sat up straight and began to recount, "I was in the county town for a meeting. Hadn't there been strong winds and heavy rains earlier, causing a lot of grain losses? That was the topic of the meeting. Then, Gao Zhifu, the leader of the neighboring Yuejin Production Brigade, and I went to the cafeteria for lunch. He told me about a man who had done good deeds and shared my surname, Song. He even joked that he might be from our production brigade."
"I felt it was a bit of a coincidence, so I asked him to take me to the bulletin board and saw that the person who did the good deed was Song Jianye, from our production team. Then I went to ask the leader about it..."
"...After I came back, I went to Old Song's house to inform them
The county leaders will be coming over the next two days. When I told you about this, the Song family didn’t know about it yet…”
Song Yuangang carefully told the two cadres what happened at that time. Combined with the information he had just heard, what the two sides said was consistent.
Afterwards, the two of them went to ask Old Yang and the leader of the neighboring production brigade, Gao Zhifu. They all said the same thing, with no discrepancies.
After asking almost all the questions, seeing that it was getting late, the two of them hurried back to the city to hand in their work.
After they left, the Song family members were initially worried, wondering if their investigation was thorough. But then they stopped thinking about it. They were telling the truth, the facts, so they had nothing to worry about.
It's impossible for a liar to make up something more true.
.......
The days were peaceful for a few days, but during these days, everyone in the brigade was asking about the formal employment of the Old Song family.
They all knew that the county leaders were coming, and considering that the formal jobs would be in September or October, they all came to inquire about it.
"Aunt Feng, who did you give the letter of introduction from Jianye?"
"Jianye's leg isn't healed yet, so he should give it to his wife, right? But why do I see Yulan coming to work every day? I never see her go to the city?"
"Could it be that you went there and weren't selected?"
"Oh, if that's the case, wouldn't that be a waste? Regular employee positions are so precious!"
“.......”
People in the team said all kinds of things, some were curious, some were envious, and some were gloating.
It is not easy to make up a lie about this matter. If you say one story, you will have to make up countless more to cover it up. So the people in the Song family told the truth regardless of what the person who asked the question was thinking.
"I've given the letter of introduction to Qingyan. Yulan is homesick, and Jianye's leg hasn't healed yet, so she's worried."
"Qingyan has become a teacher at a primary school in the county town, teaching Chinese."
"I came back a few days ago, and left again when this vacation was almost over."
“.......”
When the people who asked about it heard that Li Qingyan had really become a formal employee, and a teacher at that, they were all surprised. Some were envious, some were jealous, and there were all kinds of comments:
"What a great opportunity! The third brother and his wife are so stupid that they don't even want this permanent job."
"The fourth son's wife has become an elementary school teacher. This is a formal job. She will be paid a salary from now on."
"We all said before that the Song family was leaving.
Look at them now. They have commercial grain at home. They also get a salary every month. I think we will not be able to compare with the old Song family in the future."
"That's right, we should all congratulate the Song family. I didn't expect that Jianye could have such a great thing happen even though he broke his leg."
"Aunt Feng, next time Qingyan comes back, you must notify us so we can go visit our team's teacher."
"Maybe in the future our own children will go to school in the county town, and we will have to trouble Qingyan to look after them."
“.......”
Feng Guizhi played along with them, treating their words as wind, listening and forgetting. She knew exactly what they were thinking.
For several days, everyone in the team was talking about Li Qingyan becoming a primary school teacher, and even the way they looked at the people from the Song family changed.
Listening to those people's envious compliments, both Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Li were extremely unhappy, and even more so, extremely jealous.
"I say, Jianye's wife is really stupid. She didn't even want to give such a good opportunity to someone else?"
"I think it's... biased, so the quota was given to the fourth family." Mrs. Li said in the crowd.
"I think the Song family must be heartbroken after this incident. There are four daughters-in-law in the family, and the third daughter-in-law didn't get the spot she earned, and the eldest daughter didn't get it either. Instead, it was given to the youngest, the fourth daughter. Isn't this partiality?"
"Being a teacher isn't easy. Children in the city are so delicate. You never know if you might offend someone."
“…”
The Song family was vaguely aware of what people outside were saying about them, but they didn't care. They lived their own lives. As long as they felt good about themselves, they didn't care what others thought.
Li Qingyan, who was at the center of discussion, had already gone to the city, while another person at the center of discussion, Yang Yulan, was still feeding Tiantian malted milk in bed.
She also knew what people outside said about her, but when she looked at her son and daughter in the house, her heart softened.
So no matter what others say, she does not regret this decision.
At night, the three little ones, Baoya, Tianen and Yuanbao, went to bed early, while Tiantian was taken to Feng Guizhi's room.
Everyone in the Song family slept well that night, and when they woke up the next day it was still a sunny day.
......
The excitement lasted for several days, and everyone kept talking about it after dinner, while the Song family continued to do their business. However, just when they thought the "good deeds" were over, Song Yuangang suddenly came over and told the Song family some bad news.
