Wenqing returns home
Secretary Gou sent the leader to the car and watched until the back of the car disappeared before he walked back with the two teachers.
He stood with his hands behind his back, the evening breeze wrinkled the corners of his eyes, and his tone sounded very brisk in the wind, with a hint of surprise:
"them……"
He pointed to the classroom:
"What's irritating them? They're all learning and they don't even care when I come in?"
Teacher Li laughed when he heard this: "That's right, they are just stimulated. It's the Aunt Hu. She is the oldest and knows the most words. She stimulated these young people..."
"Oh...she's still up there?" When he first entered, he was so focused on supporting his leader that he didn't even look down carefully.
"Look at what you said. Hu Yufeng has never missed a class. She is the first one to arrive in the whole class and studies the most diligently." Teacher Wang was very unhappy when he heard this and quickly cleared Hu Yufeng's name.
After hearing what he said, Secretary Gou became quite curious about Hu Yufeng.
In fact, he saw Hu Yufeng on the first day he went there. She was a troublemaker in the village and left a deep impression on him. When he saw her coming to school, he began to wonder what she was thinking. However, considering her hot-tempered personality, he thought that her enthusiasm would only last for three minutes. Unexpectedly, there would come a day when he would misjudge her.
After listening to what Teacher Li said, he was actually a model student, which stimulated the whole class and made them behave themselves.
I vaguely heard my wife mention that the Qin family is still doing business.
Secretary Gou curled his lips and decided to pay special attention to this family.
He really cared about her. That night, Qin Wenli came back from the members' meeting in high spirits.
Yang Xiu: Why are you shaking during a meeting?
She thought so and asked.
Unexpectedly, Qin Wenli turned around and smiled broadly at Hu Yufeng: "Mom, Secretary Gou praised you at the meeting today."
The whole family looked over immediately.
Yang Xiu asked: "Really? What did you praise me for? Tell me quickly..."
Qin Wenli said happily: "Secretary Gou said that you have a high level of consciousness and advanced thinking. You are a role model for our villagers and a role model for young people. He asked everyone to learn from you... He also praised Xiu'er and Sister Lanhua, saying that our Qin family is great and a family of advanced people..."
Yang Xiu stood up excitedly: "Really... I was also praised, this, this, how can I be so embarrassed..."
Hu Yufeng was also happy. Her original intention of studying was for herself, but it was also a good feeling to be recognized and praised for her hard work.
Qin Yu quickly gave her compliments: "Grandma is amazing, and mom is amazing too..."
Qin Shu grinned and clapped his hands: "Great, great..."
Hu Yufeng smiled and said, "I told you to study hard, didn't I do you any harm? Now I know how to read and write, and I have made a name for myself in the village..."
The old lady also agreed with a smile: "That's right, you should listen to your mother..." She had a simple idea. As long as something was good for the Qin family, it was a good thing and should be vigorously promoted.
Only Qin Shengtian remained silent and stole several glances at Hu Yufeng.
At Qin Wen Zheng's home, Qin Wen Zheng, who was attending the meeting, also told Li Lanhua the good news.
Li Lanhua was surprised and delighted: "Actually, I didn't do anything. I just followed Second Aunt to learn..."
Qin Wenzheng smiled: "Then you should learn more from Second Aunt in the future..."
At Qin Wenqing's house, Chen Xiulian spat: "Look at how capable she is. She is half-old and yet she is trying to get in with the young people. Secretary Gou is really blind..."
Uncle Qin smoked a cigarette and said, "Didn't you ask Wen Zheng how Wen Qing's case went?"
Chen Xiulian lost interest in Hu Yufeng when this was mentioned. She said angrily, "I asked. Why didn't I ask? Wen Zheng took me to find him. He said he didn't know either. Let's wait."
"Old Gou, Old Gou, I don't think he is a good dog. If I could wait, would I need to ask him..." Chen Xiu Lian cursed.
At Secretary Gou's house, Secretary Gou also cursed:
"This family is so unreasonable. No wonder they allowed their son to stab people with a knife. I am just a village party secretary. I can control the police and the courts."
"You're still so weird and sarcastic. If it weren't for his eldest son, I would have kicked him out. They're all from the Qin family, but how come Hu Yufeng can turn over a new leaf, her son is capable and her wife takes care of the family, but Chen Xiulian's family is in chaos and has a lot of troubles..."
The old wife put down the water cup and said, "Alright, alright, one rice can feed a hundred kinds of people. It's not worth it for such a thing..."
No matter what Chen Xiulian did, Hu Yufeng's name had spread throughout the village.
When parents educate their children, they always say: "Look at your grandma Hu, she is 50 years old, but she knows more words in less than a month than you do in three years. You are not ashamed of yourself. Go and do your homework..."
People who used to ignore her now take the initiative to greet her:
"Yufeng, you are amazing. You are fifty years old but still refuse to admit old age..."
"Sister-in-law, you really make us proud. We should let the young people see that we are no worse than them when we are old..."
"Yufeng, I heard that the leaders of the commune all praised you. Can you be transferred to the commune to work..."
Hu Yufeng: ...This is really an exaggeration.
No matter how the outside world changes, the Qin family still lives their life as usual, setting up stalls as usual and farming as usual.
*
At noon that day, the police car came again with a "woohoo woohoo" sound.
Wang Xueqin skillfully crawled under the chopping board, and this time she did not forget to pull the two children along.
The car door opened and closed, and Wang Xueqin was like a criminal awaiting trial, waiting for the final decision.
The door was pushed open, and footsteps came in and stopped:
"Mom..." A man's puzzled voice was heard in the yard.
There was a rustling sound in the room, followed by an unbelievable cry: "Wenqing? Wenqing, you're back... my son..."
Wang Xueqin, her mother and her two sons quickly crawled out from under the chopping board, pushed the door open and ran out.
The two children rushed over crying and hugged Qin Wenqing tightly.
Wang Xueqin twisted her fingers nervously and whispered, "You're back..."
Qin Wenqing seemed not to hear. He glanced at Wang Xueqin with a cold gaze, then went to the main room to comfort his mother.
Wang Xueqin's face turned pale, and then she hurried to the kitchen to busy herself.
As the old saying goes, eat dumplings when you get on the bus and noodles when you get off. Wenqing always eats the hand-rolled noodles she makes when he comes back from a trip. He must be craving for it.
Here, Wang Xueqin was cutting vegetables and cooking with trembling hands. In the main room, Chen Xiulian pulled Qin Wenqing and looked him up and down, wishing she had X-ray eyes to see through his clothes to see if he was injured.
"Did you get beaten? The prisoners there are very good at beating people. Your eldest brother was..." Seeing that her son was not in the right mood, Chen Xiulian quickly changed the subject:
"My son is suffering in there, and I am waiting for you to come out every day outside. I am so heartbroken..."
Qin Wenqing stayed by his side and listened to his mother's chattering. He said nothing, with a hint of impatience between his brows.
"Wenqing, you haven't eaten well these days. I just made noodles. You should have some..." Wang Xueqin spoke weakly while holding a plate and lifting the door curtain.
"How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, Wen Qing, how could he have gone in there and suffered all these tortures, you vicious woman..." Upon hearing this, Chen Xiulian stood up with a heavy body and pointed at her and cursed.
Qin Wenqing had a puzzled look on his face and didn't even look at Wang Xueqin.
Wang Xueqin opened her mouth, but finally retorted in a low voice: "Mom, if you want to scold me, wait a minute, let Wenqing eat something first."
"Eat, eat, eat. How can we dare to eat the food you cook now? I'm afraid you will poison it. Get out of here..." Chen Xiulian became even more angry when she saw her refutation.
Wang Xueqin glanced at Qin Wenqing, who had a cold face, as if asking for help. He was leaning back in his chair with his arms folded, his eyes empty and cold. He seemed not to hear the quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Wang Xueqin suddenly became discouraged. She turned around and left without saying anything.
The only sound in the main room was Chen Xiulian's incessant annoyed cursing.
Qin Wenqing stood up impatiently, and Chen Xiulian stopped talking.
Seeing that he was about to go out, she hurriedly asked, "Where are you going, Wenqing?"
"Go out for a walk..." Qin Wenqing raised his foot and threw the door curtain heavily behind him.
"Then eat something before you go. Everything is ready..." Chen Xiulian felt sorry for her son for not having eaten.
"No, I'm full..." The voice faded away.
After a while, Chen Xiulian picked up the bowl and took a bite resentfully. She had already done it, it would be a waste if she didn't eat it. She did not forget to greet the two children:
"Lingling, Gangzi, where have you been? Come and eat this noodle..."
Qin Ling was silently shedding tears as she accompanied her mother to pack things.
Seeing Wang Xueqin coming out of the main room with a strange look on her face, Qin Ling followed behind her silently. Sure enough, she saw his mother enter the west room and go straight to the closet. Qin Ling's heart finally died down, her mother was leaving.
Wang Xueqin took out the clothes one by one, and Qin Ling folded them one by one beside her. Wang Xueqin watched her repeat it over and over again, tears silently dripping onto her clothes, and suddenly her tears began to fall.
Although Qin Ling's child is a girl and her personality is not pleasant, she was born after ten months of pregnancy. It would be a lie to say that she has no feelings for her at all. She touched her daughter's head, held her to her chest, stroked her back, and cried bitterly.
After a while, the mother and daughter separated. Wang Xueqin held Qin Ling's shoulders and looked straight into her eyes: "You are grown up now. You can still cook and wash clothes for your father at home. Your grandma won't treat you harshly. Gangzi is still young, and mom is worried about keeping him. In the future... I will come to see you if I have the chance."
Qin Ling's tears welled up. She had expected this result, but when her mother said it, she felt like she was abandoned.
She is only seven years old, she has not grown up at all, and she is afraid without her mother...
Qin Ling followed her mother closely, holding Wang Xueqin's bag tightly with both hands, her vision blurred by tears.
Qin Gang came jumping in from the yard. As soon as Qin Wenqing returned home, he regained his previous lively nature. Looking at her crying sister, Tian Zhen asked, "Sister, aren't you going to grandma's house with us?"
Chen Xiulian had been staring at the west room from the window. Upon hearing what she said, she stepped out and grabbed Qin Ling with one hand, saying fiercely, "Go if you want to. Your sister is not going anywhere..."
After saying that, she looked at Wang Xueqin with disgust: "Since you have made up your mind, just get out of here. Don't pretend to be so hypocritical. Who are you crying for? Everything will be fine without you..."
Even a slow-witted Qin Gang realized that something was wrong. He looked up at his mother and asked again, "Aren't we taking our sister with us?"
Wang Xueqin couldn't bear it any longer, so she bent down and picked up Qin Gang, crying loudly.
