Chapter 43 The Conscienceless Son



Half an hour ago, the commune office received a call from the county.

Secretary Zhang held a small meeting and assigned tasks: "This commendation meeting was originally scheduled to be held in the county, but because the snow this year is heavier than in previous years, in order to facilitate the representatives from all over the country, this commendation meeting will be held in Xinyi Town."

Although Xinyi Town is not big, it is well connected and is the only way for more than a dozen communes of varying sizes in the three nearby counties and two places to reach the county seat.

Secretary Zhang said, "By the way, the county has specifically instructed that Miss Yuzhu must be present to receive the award in person. As you all know, Yuzhu's situation is somewhat special, so the task of taking her to the town will be assigned to Xiao Lu. As a female comrade, it will be more convenient for you to take care of her. In addition, the collective honor ceremony must also be attended by representatives, so the old branch secretary and Xiao Kong will go."

Neither Kong Xingbo nor the village party secretary had any objections to this, and it was a very honorable thing, so the village party secretary even felt a little excited.

Only a little man in Lu Juanjuan's heart jumped out: Let her accompany that idiot to receive the award, bah.

On the surface, her face was full of loyalty: "Don't worry, Secretary, I promise to complete the task."

Secretary Zhang nodded and said, "You must take good care of Miss Yuzhu and don't let her suffer any injustice."

The implication is that this girl is special and she will inevitably meet all kinds of people when she goes out. If she is discriminated against, the commune will not agree.

Lu Juanjuan said: "I understand."

The commendation meeting will be held the day after tomorrow. Because the journey is difficult, we have to set off early tomorrow morning, stay in town for one night, and hold the meeting the next day.

After the meeting, Lu Juanjuan very responsibly came to Old Shi's house to inform Tian Yuzhu to prepare.

Who would have thought that I would find a person lying in the snow not far from home.

Lu Juanjuan was startled. When she got closer, she saw that it was Yang Dahua and shouted for help.

Soon, the villagers who heard the noise ran out and helped Yang Dahua up together.

Yang Dahua was severely frozen, her arms and legs were frozen stiff.

Fortunately, the third aunt put her finger in front of her nose and probed it, and said, "She's still alive."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Later, Shi Weiqiang, who was lying on the kang, heard shouting outside and he sat up suddenly.

But soon the urge to rush out was held back by his own thoughts. Humph, how did his mother usually treat his son?

So I just lay back down.

Soon, the villagers came and carried Yang Dahua back to the house.

Well, her son Shi Weiqiang is still lying on the kang, motionless!

What on earth was born?

Everyone also knows Shi Weiqiang's stubborn temper, so forget it, stop talking nonsense with him.

Only Lu Juanjuan scolded, "Shi Weiqiang, hurry up and find some of your mother's clothes so we can help her change into them. Do you hear me?"

Shi Weiqiang stiffened his neck and said, "How dare I look through her suitcase? Didn't you see it's locked?"

"Break it open even if it's locked." Lu Juanjuan said with a cadre-like spirit: "She's your mother, how can you bear to watch her freeze to death?"

"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you!"

After all, he was a cadre, so Shi Weiqiang had to get up and find a set of dirty clothes at the foot of the kang and throw them over to him. Then he limped out and went to the outer room to stay for a while.

Soon, several people changed Yang Dahua's clothes.

Others were busy heating the kang, rubbing hands for those who wanted to rub their hands, and covering feet for those who wanted to cover their feet.

The third aunt hurried to the kitchen to boil a bowl of hot water for Yang Dahua to warm herself up.

When she stepped into Mr. Shi's kitchen, she was really amazed. All the cabinets, big and small, were locked, even the broken cabinet that held a few bowls was locked tightly.

Tsk, the three aunts couldn't help but click their lips when they saw this.

Yang Dahua is indeed the iron hen in Quanshui Village. She is so petty that her heart is not even as big as the tip of a needle.

After drinking half a bowl of hot water, Yang Dahua finally woke up slowly.

Her mind went blank and she couldn't remember how she fell.

But her first thought was the big yellow croaker she had snatched. She opened her eyes and waited for less than five seconds before asking, "Where's my fish?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment: "..."

fish?

Where do the fish come from at this time of year?

Is she afraid that she might be sick from the cold?

"Okay, thank you all for your help. It's so cold, go home and let Auntie have a good rest."

Lu Juanjuan also felt that Yang Dahua was talking nonsense because of the cold and should rest more.

The three aunts and the others walked out of Old Shi's house whispering to each other.

"Such a big thing happened to Dahua, but there was no movement in the little house. The old lady is really hard-hearted."

"Of course, we are a family after all!"

"I don't think the old lady can be blamed for this. You don't know how Dahua treats her normally."

"Hey, what are you saying? Have you ever seen a mother-in-law who is easy to get along with?"

Everyone: “…”

Isn't this contradictory?

They are both daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law. Well, let’s not talk about this topic anymore!

In the old Shi family's house, Yang Dahua grabbed Lu Juanjuan's wrist tightly and said, "Juan, have you seen my fish?"

Lu Juanjuan wondered if she had a fever, so she reached out to touch Yang Dahua's forehead. Instead of answering her question, she soothed her, "Aunt, close your eyes and get some sleep. You'll be fine once you warm up. I'll go back to the commune and ask Doctor Wei to come and see you and prescribe some medicine for you."

The weak Yang Dahua was in tears. She was not talking nonsense, she was really talking about fish, why didn’t anyone believe her!

Lu Juanjuan still had important things to do, so she gave Shi Weiqiang a few instructions and went to knock on the door of the cabin.

By this time, the hut had already been prepared, and the basins and wooden barrels containing fish were covered with lids.

Cheng Cheng, who came to open the door, tilted his head cutely: "Sister Juanjuan, is there anything wrong?"

This little thing.

Why call me sister? Isn't that a generation difference?

Lu Juanjuan rubbed the top of his head amusedly: "Call me Auntie, not Sister."

As she was talking, she walked into the house and was stunned. There was no movement in the room just now, so she thought that only the old lady was there.

But there are quite a few people here, the old lady, that idiot, and Su Zhen are also here.

What is most puzzling is that Su Zhen, a notoriously timid daughter-in-law, didn't even go out to see her mother-in-law just now?

A big question mark appeared in Lu Juanjuan's mind.

But he greeted them as if nothing had happened: "Grandma, sister-in-law, you are all here!"

As for Tian Yuzhu, she tried her best to keep her out of her sight.

Lu Huanying asked her to sit down: "Juan, why was there such a commotion outside just now?"

Uh, the old lady is really good at Tai Chi.

Lu Juanjuan said calmly, "I don't know what happened to my aunt, she fainted on the road outside, but she's fine now and she's awake."

The next sentence changed the subject: "Grandma, I was sent by Secretary Zhang to inform you of something. The county will hold a hero commendation meeting in Xinyi Town the day after tomorrow. Our village representative is Miss Yuzhu. Secretary Zhang asked me to accompany Yuzhu to Xinyi Town to receive the award. We have to leave early tomorrow morning."
