Chapter 57: The Ending
Yang Shengyi didn't care what those people thought. She asked Zhou Xian to buy several padlocks from the supply and marketing cooperative. Whenever she went out, she locked all the places that could be locked and strung the keys with a rope and hung them around her neck.
She was determined not to give anyone else any hope of taking advantage of her.
When Zhou Xian came to see her, he would buy some things from the supply and marketing cooperative and bring them over as they had agreed, and he would also bring the letter written by Yang Shengyi.
Before sending it out, she took a look at it and thought it was well-written, the handwriting was simple, and the whole letter was full of sincere gratitude.
Thanks to the Women's Federation for their help, to the commune leaders for their encouragement, and even more thanks to the readers who are concerned about how she is doing. Her words are simple, but they warm people's hearts.
Zhou Xian sent out this letter together with the follow-up article he wrote.
I believe that after it is published, the readers will be very moved.
The matter of the Yang family was almost settled, and Zhou Xian turned his attention back to the Taohua Brigade.
Things are going smoothly with the vegetable greenhouse here.
Especially the straw mushrooms have shown signs of growing, which makes everyone excited.
Vegetables from the other three greenhouses also popped up.
It also made their hard work over the past few days not in vain.
While Zhou Jiefang was happy, he did not forget to remind the members in charge of the vegetable greenhouses that at this critical moment, they must be more attentive and not get carried away with success.
Zhou Xian went to take a look and asked everyone to pay more attention. After some time, their Taohua Brigade would also give the leader a surprise.
During this period, everyone has paid more attention to the vegetables grown in greenhouses.
Seeing the effect, everyone was happy.
The temperature was gradually dropping, and many people were gathering over there in the greenhouse, wanting to see what was so special about the vegetables grown in it.
Zhou Jiefang was afraid that something might go wrong with the food, so he didn't let anyone come over there. Except for a few people in charge of greenhouse vegetables, no other unrelated people are allowed to come.
Ge Guifen took advantage of her free time to sew a pair of gloves for Zhou Xian, after all, it was quite cold to ride a bike to and from get off work.
I also took apart an old sweater and knitted a scarf for my daughter.
Zhou Xian had already informed the people at the supply and marketing cooperative, asking them to bring over any wool for her, but it turned out that her own mother had already knitted it for her.
But I still need the wool from there. I’ll bring it back and knit a new sweater for Comrade Ge Guifen.
Seeing that her daughter was wrapped tightly, Ge Guifen felt relieved.
She also knew that she was biased, but there was nothing she could do about it. Her daughter was her biological daughter, but her grandchildren were not hers. If she had to choose, she would definitely love the ones she gave birth to.
My son has no conscience. What he said before marriage about being filial to his parents has become bullshit after marriage. Whenever something happens, the first thing he thinks about is his own family.
After this, when my daughter gets married, she may not be able to rely on the third brother for support.
Zhou Xian couldn't let Comrade Ge Guifen love her in vain, so sometimes when there was something delicious in the commune canteen, she would bring it back for her family to eat.
She would also follow Comrade Ge Guifen's example and leave a copy for her, specially for her, which moved her so much that she kept piling the good things in the cabinet in front of Zhou Xian, making her laugh and cry.
Zhou Xian didn't ask herself if she was a self-sacrificing good person, although in the eyes of others she was indeed that kind of person, but she knew in her heart that this was all for the purpose of completing the system's career points, and the rewards given by the system were real, but most of the time she could only use them herself and it was not easy to take them out.
When she works in the commune, she can bring back some candies from time to time. Sometimes she just redesicates them with points in the system. It would be a waste if she didn’t use them. Now the children are very attached to her.
She took out the things given by the system little by little and added them to her home.
However, Zhou Xian did not dare to take too much. After all, her father, as the team leader, had often attended meetings in the commune and was very familiar with the commune, so she had carefully considered what to take.
The only place he dared to tamper with was the kitchen, which was not his father's business. He secretly put some oil and salt into the jar.
The amount was always small each time, but after a long time, Comrade Ge Guifen still found something wrong and muttered that the oil and salt in the kitchen seemed to never be used up.
However, he did not suspect Zhou Xian. He just thought it was the Kitchen God appearing, and he did not dare to say it to anyone else.
Zhou Xian paid attention to the plastic greenhouse for a few days and then devoted all his attention to his work.
The events of the Yanghua Brigade made Director Ji realize that the directors of the Women's Federations of those production brigades might not be able to control what happened in the brigades.
So they simply called all the directors of the Women's Federations in the teams under them to the commune for a meeting.
The focus was on the Yanghua Brigade.
"This child's case is not an isolated case. Her father sacrificed his life for the construction of socialism. He can be bullied like this right under your noses. What about other children who have lost their parents? Have you ever paid attention to their lives? You should also take a good look at this matter after you go back. If there are children like this in the brigade, as comrades of the Women's Federation, you should ask about it and take care of it."
After everyone left, Director Ji pinched his brows tiredly.
"Director Ji, have a glass of water." Secretary Chen poured a glass of water for Director Ji and handed it to him.
Secretary Li also said, "We have done what we should do, and we can't just watch them every day to see if they make any mistakes."
Director Ji still felt upset.
"Xiao Zhou, what do you think?"
"Director Ji, you feel annoyed because you care about the women and children who have been persecuted, but this matter cannot be rushed. Many people are illiterate, and what they know is either learned through their own exploration or through osmosis in the old society. They don't know what is wrong. It is precisely because of this that we have to tell them what is right and what is wrong."
"You are right. It is precisely because they don't know that we need to let them know."
Director Ji looked at Zhou Xian with an expression of great satisfaction.
She felt that as soon as the girl opened her mouth, her words touched the heart.
Zhou Xian was also very happy.
The main thing is that Director Ji is a really nice person. With a leader like him, there is no need to worry about not being able to accomplish tasks and getting career points.
The two people hit it off immediately.
"During this period, everyone should go to the production teams more often and do our Women's Federation's work well."
At Director Ji's command, everyone started to act.
Zhou Xian has been riding his bicycle to several brigades in succession these days. The Women's Federation has done a lot of work during this period, so Zhou Xian has become a familiar face in these brigades. Sometimes as soon as he enters a brigade, he is surrounded by female comrades, who talk about their troubles at home.
Seeing that the work was almost done, Zhou Xian was riding his bicycle to return to the commune when he saw a person standing by the river in the distance.
It was just a casual glance, but I didn't expect that with just that one glance, I saw the man jump into the river.
Zhou Xian didn't even care about his bicycle. He rushed over to save people after losing his bike.
But when I ran to the river, I was dumbfounded. I clearly saw the person jumping into the river, and after flapping his wings twice, he disappeared.
Either she was so determined to die that she didn't even struggle, or she was seeing a ghost.
If this person falls down, even if he sinks, there should be a splash.
"Tong, did I see a ghost?" Zhou Xian asked in a trembling voice.
"Host, there are no ghosts in the world you live in, but the one who just jumped down was a female supporting character."
Zhou Xian: “…”
The female supporting character jumped into the river, so the chance of her death should be quite high.
Zhou Xian looked at the river for a long time, but saw no sign of anyone coming up.
She didn't care about anything else and quickly jumped into the water to rescue the person.
The water didn't even reach Zhou Xian's knees. Just as she bent down to rescue him, the system suddenly spoke, "Host, you can actually sign in."
The system brought up He Shui's sign-in page, and the female supporting role was there.
Zhou Xian didn't care about the questions in his mind and directly signed the female supporting role out.
Just as she pressed the sign-in button, the next second she saw the female supporting character with her eyes closed, slowly floating to the surface.
Zhou Xian always felt that there was something indescribably weird about this situation, but he still pulled the female supporting character ashore.
I felt relieved when I found that the person was still breathing.
"Tongzi, do you want to do some artificial respiration or something?"
"No, she's just temporarily unconscious."
Zhou Xian nodded and took a closer look at the supporting actress. She had red lips and white teeth, and was quite pretty.
But you can't just lie there like this. It's so cold and I'm soaked. I'll get sick even if I'm healthy.
She is not the heroine and has no halo, so she cannot withstand such hardship.
Before Zhou Xian could make any move, she saw two people coming towards her.
"Host, please be advised, the male and female protagonists are ahead."
Zhou Xian: “…” For a moment I didn’t know what to say.
The plot was right in front of him, and the two people had also arrived in front of him, so Zhou Xian had no time to understand the situation.
She didn't move. The female comrade who came over paused for a moment, looked at the motionless person lying on the ground, her face turned pale, and then she quickly walked over and shook Zhou Xian who was lying on the ground, "Sister Caiyun, Sister Caiyun, please wake up, don't scare me."
Zhou Xian felt that her attitude was a little strange, but before she could think about it carefully, her thoughts were interrupted.
"Who are you?"
Zhou Xian looked up at the person who was speaking. The man had very handsome features, so there was no need to guess, to know that he was the male protagonist.
The person crying and shouting in front of you is the heroine.
"I am the secretary of the Women's Federation of the commune. My name is Zhou Xian." Zhou Xian took out his work ID from the bag that he had just thrown on the ground.
Nowadays, work permits are all handwritten and stamped with the commune's seal.
"I am Xu Huaishan, the captain of the Xinghua Brigade."
Captain Xu seemed too young among all the captains of the Baihua Brigade.
If I remember correctly, the Xinghua Brigade seems to be nearby.
"This female comrade just fell into the river and I fished her out."
Zhou Xian remembered that she seemed to have jumped in, but he only caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye at the time. In addition, the female comrade sank too quickly, so he didn't dare to draw any conclusions.
Xu Huaishan thanked Zhou Xian, then walked over, took off his coat, wrapped up the unconscious female comrade, and held her in his arms.
"Xinghua Brigade is not far from here. Secretary Zhou, please dry your clothes before going back." Xu Huaishan picked up the female comrade and said as he passed by Zhou Xian.
Zhou Xian glanced at his wet pants. In just a moment, the cold wind made his legs numb, so he didn't refuse.
The crying female comrade came over to help her push the bicycle and supported her towards the Xinghua Brigade. Her eyes were a little red, as if she was frightened by what happened just now.
Zhou Xian didn't understand the situation for the time being, so he didn't say anything.
Captain Xu, who was walking in front, seemed to have some problems with his legs. It wasn't noticeable when he walked slowly, but now that he was walking fast, it was obvious that there was a problem.
Zhou Xian couldn't figure out what was going on. The male protagonist was hugging the female supporting role, and the female protagonist seemed to be more concerned about the female supporting role.
She was too lazy to guess and just watched the plot to resolve the doubts in her heart.
The general plot is that the male protagonist and the supporting female character Qiao Caiyun are an engaged couple. As a result, Qiao Caiyun fell into the water and died. The Qiao family felt sorry for Xu Huaishan, so they transferred the marriage to the female protagonist Qiao Caiyue.
The two of them fell in love after they got married. After the reform and opening up, a family came to them and claimed to be Qiao Caiyue's biological grandfather. Her parents took Qiao Caiyue, who was still an infant, to Beijing, but they lost contact halfway. The Qiao family adopted the heroine who had lost her parents.
Even Qiao Caiyue's parents admitted that she was picked up, and Qiao Caiyue was recognized as her own.
As for the male protagonist Xu Huaishan, he was originally a veteran. He was accidentally injured in the brigade and injured his leg, so he retired.
Originally, his old leader felt that it was a pity for such a person, so he made some arrangements for him and got him a job, which was originally in the county town. However, during that period of time, Xu Huaishan became a little discouraged and asked to go back to the countryside to farm. The old leader did not want to see him become so decadent, so he simply used his connections to transfer him to the Xinghua Brigade as a team leader.
The old leader also had good intentions. He made him the team leader and found something for him to do, hoping that he would not give up on himself.
The reason why he got engaged to Qiao Caiyun was that he had reached the age, and he was also close to Qiao Caiyun. When the Qiao family mentioned this matter, he felt that he should get married, so he agreed.
Xu Huaishan is a man with a strong sense of responsibility, and he and the heroine Qiao Caiyue gradually get together after marriage.
Then a suspicious point arose in the plot. When Xu Huaishan was about to investigate further, there was suddenly no further news.
This article ended badly.
By the time he arrived at the Xinghua Brigade, Zhou Xian had already understood the general plot of the previous part.
In other words, the hero and heroine have not developed any feelings for each other yet.
Zhou Xian paused for a moment and suddenly said, "Tong, the supporting actress is not dead, so is there any more romance between the male and female protagonists?"
"The situation is still unclear for the time being. We need to observe further." The system analyzed it and the result was a bunch of garbled codes that were impossible to predict.
It was rare that the system lacked confidence, and Zhou Xian also found it very strange.
