Baoya's dream seemed to be a continuation of her previous dreams. She had dreamed twice before. One time, she dreamed that someone had taken Song Jianye's place and became the one who did the "good deed." The second time, she dreamed that because of the house collapse, Song Yuangang missed the news that Song Jianye had received the "good deed."
This time, Baoya dreamed about what happened later.
In the dream, several months had passed since the stranger took away the honor of "good deeds" that belonged to Song Jianye. It was only at this time that the old people in the Song family heard about this from Song Jianye.
However, a long time had passed, and they said that the person was fake and an imposter, but no one believed them.
When they went to the hospital to check, the records had been altered. The Song family had no choice but to look for the two people who had taken Song Jianshe to the hospital. After a long search, they finally found someone to help provide evidence, but a piece of news arrived that shattered everything.
"Comrade Song Jianye won a provincial award for his good deeds, and provincial leaders praised our county!"
Previously, I had only received the title of "Good Person and Good Deed" from the county, and the county leaders thought it would be better to report it to higher authorities, since there was no loss anyway. Unexpectedly, because the incident was so prominent, it caught the attention of provincial officials and I was even awarded a provincial award.
This is not only an individual honor or the team's honor, but also the entire county has benefited from it.
At this time, the people from the Song family took Song Jianye, who had a dislocated bone, and the two people who sent him to the hospital to the city.
Although there is eyewitness evidence, this matter has become well-known in the province. If it is revealed that this matter is fake and someone is impersonating, then it will be over.
So even though the county leaders knew the truth, they did not dare to admit it. In the end, they used some methods to suppress the people of the Song family from revealing this matter. Of course, they also gave some subsidies.
The Song family didn't want the subsidies; they just wanted an explanation, the truth. But they couldn't change the situation, so they had no choice but to swallow their anger.
Song Jianye became very depressed because of this incident.
The condition of his already weak leg became even worse.
Not only him, but even Feng Guizhi's body was somewhat broken down by the successive blows.
The person who took the quota received no punishment, and even if retribution came, it would be years later. Late justice could no longer save the declining Song family...
Baoya saw all this in her dream this time, and tears streamed down her face. In the silent night, her soft sobs could be heard.
The next day, Baoya woke up early because she hadn't slept well. She rubbed her sore eyes with the back of her hand. The red circles around her large eyes made her look pitiful.
Baoya saw that Yang Yulan and Song Jianye were still sleeping on the big bed next to her, so she dressed herself, slowly got out of bed, opened the door and went out.
Baoya squatted by the well, washing her hands, her mind constantly replaying the dream she had yesterday. Tears slowly welled up in her eyes again, and she sniffled and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand.
Feng Guizhi hadn't slept well the previous night, so she woke up a little earlier than usual. After she left the main room, she put on her clothes and saw Baoya squatting by the well.
She walked over and lowered her voice: "Why are you up so early?"
Baoya heard the sound and turned to look at her. Feng Guizhi then realized that Baoya's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
She frowned and picked Baoya up, wiping her tears with her hands: "Why are you crying? What happened, little girl? Tell me, I'll support you."
Baoya was already feeling bad, and now seeing Feng Guizhi, she couldn't help herself anymore. She cried out with a choked voice: "Milk~"
Then he hugged Feng Guizhi's neck with both hands, put his head on her shoulder and started crying.
Feng Guizhi rarely saw Baoya cry, and even more rarely did she cry this hard. Aside from the time Chen Fengxia came over to carry her away, she had probably never seen her cry like this before.
It was common for other children her age to cry, but Baoya had always been very sensible and well-behaved, and had hardly cried since coming to Old Song's house. So, seeing Baoya crying like this scared Feng Guizhi.
She quickly carried Baoya back to the house and wiped her tears distressedly: "Don't cry, good child, what happened, tell grandma, don't cry.
.”
With Feng Guizhi's comfort, Baoya gradually stopped crying, but her eyes turned red and she looked very pitiful.
"What's going on? Girl, why are you crying? Did you have a nightmare?"
Everyone in the family was still asleep at that moment, and it was impossible for anyone to bully her, so Feng Guizhi thought Baoya might be having a nightmare.
"I dreamt about my dad, a bad guy, and he robbed me." Baoya choked up when she spoke because she had been crying for so long.
Feng Guizhi frowned when she heard this. She stringed these words together in her mind, and combined with some of Baoya's previous special things, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
"Girl, are you saying that you dreamed about your father yesterday? And you dreamed that bad guys stole your father's things, right?"
Baoya nodded her little head and continued: "Bad guys, robbing, looking for people..."
Baoya's words were so fragmented that Feng Guizhi had a hard time understanding them. She connected the dots between the current events and could only ask her one question at a time, "Are you saying that the bad guys stole your father's 'good deeds' and then your father went to find someone to prove it?"
Seeing Baoya nodded, Feng Guizhi quickly asked, "Do you know where those two were found? Or do you remember their names?"
Since she didn't know those two people, Baoya probably didn't remember much. But it just so happened that the Song family had been looking for them recently, and Yuanbao and the others had talked about them a lot, so Baoya was quite concerned about them, and she had a little impression of them in her dream.
At this moment, Feng Guizhi asked, Baoya thought about it and said the name she heard. After a pause, Baoya remembered a more critical piece of information, which also allowed Feng Guizhi to roughly know where the two people were.
After knowing this, Feng Guizhi's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and she continued to guide Baoya to tell more about her dream.
"Won a provincial award? Are you saying your father's work also won a provincial award?"
Baoya nodded, and after saying this, tears welled up in her eyes again: "If you don't give it to me, I'm bad, mother, cry."
Feng Guizhi heard Baoya say that what Song Jianye did won the provincial award, which should be a good thing. But now seeing Baoya crying so sadly, she felt confused. She frowned and carefully thought about what Baoya said twice. At this time, she suddenly remembered what she had done a few months ago.
The dream suddenly came to my mind:
"You mean a bad guy took your father's award, and then your father hired someone to testify, right?"
Last time, she had a dream in which someone pretended to be Jianye and took away the award. However, because this did not happen in reality and it was indeed Jianye who took the award, she gradually forgot about it. Now, listening to Baoya talk about it again, she realized that Baoya was talking about the content of her previous dream.
She went over her previous dream and what Baoya had just said. First, a bad guy took away Jianye's award, and then they found out about it later, so they looked for evidence to expose that person. But at this time, news of the award from the province came back.
After that, the county leaders probably didn't want the matter to be exposed, so they silenced them.
After thinking about all this, Feng Guizhi's heart was pounding. Everything in the dream was too real, making her a little confused about which was reality.
Feng Guizhi held Baoya in her arms and was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses and began to think carefully about what to do next.
There are differences between dreams and reality, but there are also similarities. So, if Jianye's work really won an award at the provincial level, then the county leaders should have done the same thing as in the dream, except this time it was the imposter who was silenced.
Although this was just a dream of Baoya, Feng Guizhi believed it without a doubt.
However, although the current result is a good thing for the people of the Song family, thinking about the result in the dream still makes her feel a little uncomfortable.
Moreover, although the result was good, the dirty water thrown on Song Jianye has not been completely washed away. Those leaders only received the award for this matter, so regardless of who was real or fake, they regarded the person who received the award as the real one.
However, this is too unfair to Song Jianye.
Feng Guizhi's face looked a little serious. She held Baoya in her arms and coaxed her softly, but her mind was filled with many disturbing things.
After a while, Yang Yulan got up and found Baoya was not there, so she went out to look for her. Finally, she found Baoya in Feng Guizhi's room. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
Yang Yulan asked quickly, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Feng Guizhi told Yang what she had just learned.
Yulan, Yang Yulan was stunned after hearing this.
"Mom, are you saying that Baoya dreamed that Jianye won a provincial award, and then the county... suppressed the matter?"
Feng Guizhi nodded silently. She didn't tell Yang Yulan about her dream, so she didn't know that the reward had been stolen.
But even if she didn't know, after hearing this, Yang Yulan still frowned and said, "Mom, even though the result may be like this, I still want to continue to find those two witnesses. Otherwise, although it won't affect Jianye's work, I still feel uncomfortable."
Yes, it is better to be clear-headed than to be unclear.
Feng Guizhi explained the incident at the table during breakfast. She certainly couldn't say it was Baoya's dream, but instead said she suddenly remembered someone in the Gouling Production Brigade had told Song Jianye something similar. She told Song Jianye to get a bullock cart and take him over to see the place after dinner.
They all nodded without doubt at what Feng Guizhi said. Then Song Jianshe quickly finished his breakfast and went out to borrow an ox cart.
"Oh, I hope I can find someone this time."
"The Gouling Production Brigade is all over the market. It's a bit far away, and I don't know if it's there."
"Maybe it's there. Several teams around here have already searched. I think there's still a lot of hope."
"Yes, I will definitely find it this time."
After several people finished speaking, they all held this hope in their hearts. After breakfast, they went back to work.
The younger ones went to school, Baoya and Yuanbao stayed home, and Feng Guizhi didn't go to work this morning to look after Tiantian. Song Jianshe and Song Jianye went to the Gouling Production Brigade.
After all, ox carts are faster and less tiring. In less than an hour, Song Jianshe and Song Jianye arrived at the intersection of Gouling Production Brigade.
After entering the brigade, Song Jianye stayed behind to watch the ox cart while Song Jianshe went over to look for someone. It didn't take long before they found someone who resembled the person Song Jianye had described, and the two of them quickly went to look for him.
Song Jianye looked at the people working in the fields from a distance, and his heart couldn't help but beat fast. Although he couldn't see their faces clearly, his figure was following him.
The person who sent him off looked particularly similar.
After getting closer, Song Jianye was finally sure that he had found the right person!
"It's you, comrade?" The man obviously remembered Song Jianye. When he saw him, his eyes couldn't help but look at his legs. He smiled and said, "Your legs are healed."
Song Jianye didn't expect to actually find someone, and his voice was filled with excitement: "Yes, it's me, my leg is healed."
Listening to their conversation, Song Jianshe also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they found the person, it would be good.
"What's the matter with you coming here?" He was the one described by Song Jianye, with a flat head and about the same height as Song Jianshe. His name was Liu Xiangxi.
"I want you to help me prove that I broke my leg before, and it was you and another comrade who took me to the hospital. Is that okay?"
Liu Xiangxi still remembers that incident clearly, as the person who asked them for help paid him a large sum of money. Furthermore, Song Jianye's injuries were so severe, with the severe dislocation of his leg bones clearly visible. Therefore, he still remembers it to this day, and that's why he recognized Song Jianye the first time he saw him.
"Proof? Did something happen?"
After what happened last time, Song Jianye didn't dare to explain it too clearly and only said a few brief words.
Liu Xiangxi and the other person were both warm-hearted. When the driver approached them, they had agreed without even mentioning the payment at first, and only mentioned the reward afterward. So after hearing what Song Jianye said, he agreed right away.
Song Jianye and Song Jianshe looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Jianye shook Liu Xiangxi's hand and thanked him sincerely: "I didn't have time to say thank you last time, and you are willing to help me again this time. I really don't know how to thank you."
"It's what we should do, no need to thank me."
Liu Xiangxi was a straightforward person, and now he thought of something else: "Oh, right, do you still want Hu Zi to testify? The other person who went with me?"
"It would be even better if it is possible." Song Jianye said excitedly.
Then the three of them went to look for Hu Zi, the shorter man Liu Xiangxi had mentioned. He was stocky and looked honest and simple.
After talking to them, Song Jianye and Song Jianshe returned home together.
......
When they got home, they had just finished lunch. Seeing them coming back, Yang Yulan hurried to the kitchen to make something simple for them.
In the main room, both brothers had smiles on their faces, and it went without saying that they could guess what the result would be.
However, Chen Xiuxiu was still anxious to hear the exact answer. After all, this matter had been on their minds for several days: "What's going on? Have you found the person?"
Song Jianye smiled and said, "I found them. I found both of them. They are from the Gouling Production Brigade, and both of them are willing to testify for me."
Chen Xiuxiu and Sun Suyun were both overjoyed when they heard this. "Really? That's great!"
"Finally, we found someone. Someone has proved that Jianye's case is nothing to worry about."
Song Aiguo thought about what had happened before and was a little worried that things might get complicated later, so he said, "So when are you planning to go to the city? The sooner the better. We can't delay this."
"Yes, brother is right. I think we should go there tomorrow. I can sleep well if I understand the matter sooner." Song Aimin also said.
Song Jianye nodded: "Jianshe and I think so too. We have already made an appointment with the two brothers to get up early tomorrow morning and go to the city."
"That's good."
"I hope everything goes well tomorrow."
"By the way, tomorrow is Friday. When you come back tomorrow, do you want to bring Qingyan back with you?"
"I'll go over and take a look tomorrow. If she doesn't have anything to do, we'll come back together."
Soon, Yang Yulan came over with two bowls of noodles, and Song Jianye and Song Jianshe began to eat together. The heavy weight on their hearts had been lifted, and the food tasted much better.
In the afternoon, the people in the Song family went out to work at a much more relaxed pace. With Song Jianye and Song Jianshe at home, Feng Guizhi also came to work in the fields.
Just as I arrived at the field and hadn't started working yet, Mrs. Sun came over and asked with concern, "Guizhi, why didn't you come to work this morning?"
Feng Guizhi opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by someone: "My daughter-in-law is already a teacher, earning a salary, how could she care about a few centimeters?"
Mrs. Tian muttered in a weird tone: "I really don't know what the third daughter-in-law is thinking. She doesn't want a good formal job. Why should I...
Don't you believe there are such stupid people? I guess someone is biased and did it on purpose. Only the third son's wife is stupid enough to think it's a good thing and not make a fuss about it. "
Feng Guizhi glanced at her, unwilling to look at her directly, pretending not to hear, and replied to what Grandma Sun had just said:
"Tiantian at home was very upset this morning, so I stayed at home to take care of her."
When Mrs. Tian saw Feng Guizhi's attitude, she felt uneasy. What did she mean by that? What was she trying to show off?
My granddaughter was upset, so I was taking care of her at home. But where was her mother? She went to the county town to be a teacher, so she had no time to take care of her daughter!
Mrs. Tian felt that Feng Guizhi was deliberately showing off to her, and her face drooped. "A cultured young wife has gone to the county town. She's not afraid that she'll look down on her sickly son when she turns around. She'll just cry when the time comes!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Feng Guizhi vaguely heard what Mrs. Tian said, and her face immediately darkened: "If you have that much free time, you'd better worry about whether your son and daughter-in-law will dislike you or kick you out without a place to live."
Feng Guizhi really didn't want to bother with Mrs. Tian, but she would always come out and criticize her, unable to bear to see the Song family doing well. The more she did this, the more they would try to please her.
Feng Guizhi withdrew her gaze and went to the fields to start working.
......
The day passed quickly. The next morning, Song Jianshe, Song Jianye, and Song Aiguo got up together. After picking up Liu Xiangxi and Hu Zi from the Gouling Production Brigade, the five of them took a bus to the city together.
Song Jianshe brought Feng Guizhi's pancakes and eggs, which he shared with Liu Xiangxi and the others on the way. After all, their willingness to go was a great help to their family.
At first, Liu Xiangxi Huzi was reluctant to accept it, but after some persuasion he finally accepted it.
The car ride was long, and the group started chatting, and the conversation was particularly interesting. Before they knew it, time had passed quickly, and they arrived in the county.
...
Life at home is still going on normally. Baoya and Yuanbao went to the back mountain again today. They dug some shepherd's purse and went with Shen Yibei in the afternoon.
Thinking about his last failed attempt to make fire by drilling wood, Yuanbao frowned and asked
He: "Brother Yibei, why can you get out of the fire, but I can't? They are obviously the same."
Yuanbao remembered that he had embarrassed himself in front of his brothers last time, and pouted in dissatisfaction.
Shen Yibei looked at Yuanbao, thought for a moment and said, "It's still a little difficult to make fire by drilling wood. There are many factors that may affect the fire. Otherwise, try again later and I'll show you."
"good!"
Yuanbao excitedly went to find branches and firewood again, and then demonstrated to Shen Yibei. However, this time it still didn't work.
Baoya squatted on the side and watched carefully, and from time to time she would puff out her lips to help Yuanbao blow the fire. However, let alone fire, there was not even a spark.
Shen Yibei squatted beside Baoya, and then told Yuanbao what he had done wrong. However, the main reason was that Yuanbao was still too young, not strong enough, and not enough friction, so he couldn't make a fire.
After Shen Yibei said this, he thought it would hit Yuanbao, but unexpectedly, Yuanbao threw the branch in his hand directly when he heard it, and said happily:
"Really? It's just because I'm young and not strong enough that I can't do it. In that case, it's not because I don't know how to do it!"
“…”
Yuan Bao continued, "I'll go back and tell my elder brothers the method. They are older than me, and if they can't make a fire, it means they are dumber than me."
As he said this, Yuanbao started laughing.
Baoya next to him tilted her head and looked at Yuanbao. Although she didn't quite understand what he said, seeing Yuanbao smiling so happily, she also smiled.
Shen Yibei looked at Yuanbao, then at the cute Baoya, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but bend a little. He reached out and rubbed Baoya's little head, "Do you still want to eat sweet potatoes? If you do, I'll bring them and roast them for you next time."
When it was getting dark, Shen Yibei took the two children back home.
When Baoya and Yuanbao arrived home, Song Jianshe and Song Jianye hadn't returned yet. Even after the Songs had finished their meal and it was completely dark outside, the three of them still hadn't returned.
