Willow Village
In the afternoon, Yu Jingjing had an injury on her hand, so Gong Yan continued to help her with the work.
She wasn't afraid that Gong Fanrui would cause any more trouble. Her hand had been cut, and she wouldn't endure the pain and work to please the culprit.
When Gong Yan was working, she would sometimes chat with him, sometimes walk around, or bring him some water or fruit.
Gong Yan had no complaints at all.
First, Yu Jingjing had saved his grandfather, so it was natural for him to work for Yu Jingjing.
Secondly, Yu Jingjing was injured because of him and Gong Fanrui, so he should help Yu Jingjing.
Thirdly, the fruit that Yu Jingjing sent was delicious and the water was drinkable, and he liked them very much.
The Lu family heard Lu Yunduo say yesterday that a young man was helping Yu Jingjing with work. After Lu Yunduo inquired, she learned that the man was just repaying his grandfather's kindness.
But she still couldn't let it go, because she was afraid that this man didn't have any feelings for Jingjing now, but over time, he might have other thoughts.
After all, Yu Jingjing is beautiful and outstanding, so it is not uncommon for gay men to be attracted to her.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so she came to where Yu Jingjin was working, and saw a tall young man beside Yu Jingjin, concentrating on helping her with her work.
When the young man looked up, she found that his appearance was not inferior to that of his second son. Judging from his fair face and elegant clothes, he should be the kind of person who sits in an office.
Thinking of this, she felt even more of a sense of crisis.
Although her son is a soldier, his job is dangerous after all, and his hometown is in the countryside. Her family works in an office and their hometown is in the city. Their family conditions are definitely better than hers. In comprehensive comparison, her family conditions seem to be better than her son's.
He walked over with a sense of crisis, and like Lu Yunduo, tried to snatch the sickle from Gong Yan's hand.
"Little comrade, please stop doing this. Let me do it." Before Gong Yan could ask who she was, she hurriedly introduced herself: "I'm the wife of the village captain." After all, there was an official in her family. "Xiao Yu Zhiqing treated my illness a while ago, and my health is gradually getting better. The most important thing is that my son Yunxiao and Xiao Yu Zhiqing have a good relationship. My son is the battalion commander, and before returning to the army, he asked us to take good care of Zhiqing Yu."
Why, her husband is the team leader, and her son is the battalion commander.
Compared with the guy in front of me, it's not too shabby.
Gong Yan listened to her self-introduction and understood the relationship between her and Yu Jingjing.
Finally, this was the second time he heard about Lu Yunxiao. It seemed that this comrade had a very unusual relationship with Yu Jingjing.
It seems that the two of them are dating. This aunt must have misunderstood her.
"Aunt, it turns out Yu Zhiqing also treated you. The thing is, Yu Zhiqing saved my grandfather before, and this time her hand was injured, so I'm also responsible. So, I'll help her with the work."
"Xu Xiaozhiqing is injured." Mother Lu looked at Yu Jingjing, who took her hands out of her pockets and showed them to her: "Auntie, it's okay. It's just a minor injury. Don't worry."
Mother Lu took a closer look and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt much anymore."
"Come to Auntie's house at noon, and I'll make you something delicious."
"Okay, auntie."
Yu Jingjing was afraid of delaying Lu's mother's work, so she went back to their house with her, leaving this place to Gong Yan.
Seeing that Yu Jingjing and Gong Yan didn't seem to be interested, Mother Lu finally let it go.
Near noon, she said hello to Zhao Yuan, finished work and went to Lu's house.
Mother Lu served Yu Jingjing noodles with three poached eggs in it.
In rural areas, eggs are the second most popular food after meat. Yu Jingjing couldn't finish three, so she gave one to Lu Yunduo.
"Comrade Lu is doing okay over there."
Suddenly I remembered that I should write a letter to Lu Yunxiao.
"No letter yet, so I guess it's fine."
I don't even know if I've written a letter to Yu Jingjing.
Speaking of writing letters, in the afternoon, Yu Jingjing received a letter from the postman. It was written to her by Lu Yunxiao.
I opened the letter, and it said: I have arrived safely at the military area, but I will be on a special mission soon, so I may not write to you for a long time. I am very sorry, and I hope you can take good care of yourself. If there is anything, my family will help. I will write to you as soon as I return from the mission.
Yu Jingjing looked at the letter quietly. Between the lines, she felt that it was a bit like a letter written by her boyfriend to his fiancée.
Thinking back on the help Lu Yunxiao had given her and the things he had given her during this time, did he really treat her as a brother?
Yu Jingjing quickly wrote him a reply letter. As it was not yet the closing time of the post office, she immediately rode her bicycle to the county town and mailed it, hoping that the letter would arrive at the military region before Lu Yunxiao went on the mission.
Gong Fanrui was suspected by Master Gong because she falsely accused Yu Jingjing, and she has been much quieter these past two days.
Mr. Gong did not distance himself from Yu Jingjing because of him. Instead, he took the initiative to find Yu Jingjing: "Comrade Xiao Yu." But Yu Jingjing became even more polite and distant to him.
"Grandpa Gong, you talk to Comrade Gong. I'll go take a look at the Lu family."
Master Gong slapped his forehead in frustration and said to Gong Yan, "Comrade Xiao Yu doesn't even like to talk to me."
Gong Yan said, "It's because Yu Zhiqing is too close to you, and I'm afraid Xiaorui doesn't want to be around anymore."
"So, you figured out that Xiao Rui was deliberately targeting the educated youth?"
"Grandpa, there are some things I don't want to say. From what we've seen of Yu Zhiqing, Xiaorui's behavior seems to be discouraging us from interacting with him."
"It's really the person involved who is confused. Xiao Rui is ours, and I don't want to think the worst of her. She is too jealous and doesn't allow me to love other children." Master Gong sighed.
"Grandpa, it could also be because Yu Zhiqing is better than her."
"This kid." He looked at Gong Yan: "Is it because of this girl in our family that we have spoiled her and made her narrow-minded?"
Gong Yan remained noncommittal: "Maybe."
Mr. Gong always felt uncomfortable. After Yu Jingjing finished work, he went to talk to her again. Yu Jingjing said indifferently, "Grandpa, you should spend more time with the educated youth Gong."
After saying that, he returned to his room.
The master felt even more uncomfortable.
He said that Yu Jingjing had saved his life, and he couldn't really repay her, but he felt that he treated Jingjing like his own granddaughter, and he felt uncomfortable when his granddaughter ignored him.
Gong Fanrui was watching this scene in the house. Her grandfather still liked Yu Jingjing so much. Even though her family ignored him, he took the initiative to talk to her. Really, when had her grandfather ever been so humble to a foreigner? Not even to those bigwigs in Beijing, her grandfather had never been like this. It seemed as if Yu Jingjing was even more powerful than those bigwigs in Beijing.
Beijing City
Gong Nanjiang returned here yesterday, and as soon as he had some free time today, he went to the post office to send a telegram to Gong Fanrui.
The next day, Gong Fanrui received the telegram he sent to Liushu Village. The computer was not convenient to explain too clearly, so she went to the post office alone to return the call.
She didn't understand what her mother meant. Why didn't she let anyone else go with her and only let her go?
Is it possible that other people cannot be present when they make a phone call, not even grandpa and cousin?
Fortunately, she did not show the telegram to the three women. She quietly packed it up and prepared to go to the county town immediately.
But it was the autumn harvest season, and the old cows in the village were busy collecting grain in the fields. It was impossible for them to pull the grain to the county town, and it was impossible for her to walk there either. So, she thought of borrowing a bicycle.
She knew that the captain's family had a bicycle, and Yu Jingjing also had one.
Then she would lend it to Yu Jingjing, and it would be best to lend it to her in front of grandpa and two cousins. If Yu Jingjing refused to lend it to her, it would be just right for grandpa and two cousins to see how stingy Yu Jingjing was. Grandpa would no longer like Yu Jingjing, and might even hate her.
She also knew why, even though she knew that Grandpa would leave here soon, and the chances of Grandpa and Yu Jingjing meeting in the future would be very small, Yu Jingjing could not snatch her Grandpa away from her at all.
But she still worries.
It's a very strange worry without any reason or basis.
It was already noon, and Master Gong and Gong Qi were both sitting in the courtyard.
Yu Jingjing came back with Gong Yan.
As soon as Mr. Gong saw Yu Jingjing, he walked over, took something out of his pocket and gave it to Yu Jingjing.
He said with a very pleasant expression: "Little Zhiqing, this is the Buddhist beads that my old man has carried for decades. I feel that we are destined to be together, so I give it to you. I hope it can bless you with peace and safety in the future."
Yu Jingjing didn't take it. She would never accept anything the master gave her in the future.
"Grandpa, this thing is so precious to you, you should wear it yourself. Don't give it to anyone else."
"No, no, no, Grandpa wants to give it to you. If you don't accept it, Grandpa will feel bad. It won't be precious to him at all."
"But, Grandpa, I still can't take your things. I have already accepted enough from you. I can't be greedy."
"This is what I want to give you."
"That won't do either. Otherwise, I'll feel bad. Grandpa, you should put it away."
Yu Jingjing didn't stay for long. She washed her hands in the yard and went to the kitchen.
Mr. Gong looked at the Buddhist beads in his hand. He wanted to use this opportunity to talk to Yu Jingjing, but Yu Jingjing ignored him. The Buddhist beads were really useless.
He wanted to throw it on the ground, but he was afraid that Yu Jingjing would feel uncomfortable if she saw it, so he had to put it back in his pocket.
Gong Fanrui was almost furious when she saw all this.
Her grandfather actually used something to please Yu Jingjing again, and it was the Buddhist beads he had worn for decades.
The Buddhist beads meant a lot to him, even more valuable than the watch, but he was willing to give it to Yu Jingjing.
She remembered that when she was a child, she wanted to play with the Buddhist beads, but her grandfather would not let her touch them, for fear that she would break them. This shows how much he cherished the Buddhist beads.
She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.
How important is she to Grandpa? Is she really no match for Yu Jingjing?
She walked up to Mr. Gong and acted coquettishly towards him.
"Grandpa, I also miss your Buddhist beads. Please give it to me."
In fact, she didn't care about anything that didn't belong to Jingjing, but she wanted to prove her position in the master's family.
However, to her disappointment and sadness, the master quickly took the beads back and put them in his pocket.
