Luo Qiao said: "Grandma Liu, please don't misunderstand, this is what happened......"
Grandma Liu's husband and son are both gone, and her daughter-in-law remarried and left. Now she is left with her little grandson, but Grandma Liu is a strong-willed person and never tells anyone about her pain.
Luo Qiao had heard a conversation between the grandfather and grandson near the courtyard wall of the two families before. It made her feel heartwarming, but also a little distressed, so she thought about helping out when the opportunity arose.
Luo Qiao was afraid that Grandma Liu would not accept the food, so she told her what happened at the vegetable market today: "Grandma Liu, we are just worried that the vegetables will not be fresh after being left for a long time, so..."
Grandma Liu smiled faintly and said, "I am so old, how can I not know what is good for me? Thank you for your kindness. I will accept this."
She knows her own body condition, and her grandson will need the help of neighbors to take care of him in the future. People often say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, so the relationship between neighbors should still be maintained well.
After returning from Liu's house, Luo Qiao went into the kitchen to help her master's wife.
Seeing Luo Qiao coming back empty-handed, Feng Shumin smiled and asked, "Did you accept it?"
Luo Qiao nodded: "Well, I'll take it. Grandma Liu is a very optimistic person."
Feng Shumin said: "Well, it's not easy. She didn't have a job and raised her grandson by making paper boxes. She lived frugally to support her grandson Liu Yuetao's studies, and now her health is not as good as before.
In the past, she would not accept gifts from anyone, for fear of owing a favor and not being able to repay it. She is also a strong-willed person. Today, she accepted your gift because she probably didn’t want to refuse your kindness and also for the future of her grandson.”
Luo Qiao asked, "Does Grandma Liu have no other relatives?"
Feng Shumin shook her head: "Later when we arrived at the farm, we only knew that something happened to her family, but we were not very clear about the details. If Yue Tao has any problems in the future, I will help him."
Luo Qiao nodded and said, "Okay, I know." - Ji City, Lu Yichen felt that the atmosphere was not right as soon as he arrived at the unit. Bai Shengli walked over and said, "Yichen, I heard that Deputy Director Cai was interviewed by the higher-ups. Do you think something happened?"
Wang Mingqiang, who followed, said, "If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Judging from the way his wife shows off, it is obvious that she has been watched for a long time."
Qi Jiandong came in from outside and saw them gathered together. He walked over and said, "Someone from the provincial government is here. I just saw him outside. Deputy Director Cai must be in trouble."
Bai Shengli said: "Okay, okay, let's get back to work. Just work hard these few days."
Lu Yichen glanced towards the second floor, then opened the drawer and started writing the file.
By lunchtime, the bureau was in an uproar, with everyone talking about Deputy Director Cai being taken away for quarantine and investigation.
*************** Luo Qiao has not been idle since she stayed in Beijing. With the help of Xiao Jingyu, she got the land she wanted in Beijing, and also took over a small lake next to it.
By the time the results of the math competition came out, he had already started recruiting workers to open up the wasteland. Just like in Ji City, he took advantage of the fact that it hadn't frozen yet and asked nearby villagers to help plow the soil, as there was strength in numbers.
As usual, I first cleared ten acres of land and built a greenhouse. In addition to growing off-season vegetables, I also planted strawberries, and left two greenhouses to cultivate flowers and plants. I collected a lot of farm manure from the village to fertilize the land. I couldn't plant fruit trees, so I had to plant all winter wheat and plant more trees next spring.
The school called her and asked her to go back, and the matters here were handed over to Peng Mingdong. After arranging everything, Luo Qiao returned to Ji City.
Winning the first prize in the mathematics competition this time brought honor and glory to Jilin No. 1 Middle School. Both the school's reputation and Luo Qiao's reputation were promoted.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The school even organized a meeting for all teachers and students to present a prize to Luo Qiao. City leaders also came to the school to inspect the work that day. Unexpectedly, among the leaders who came was the mayor of Jilin City, Su Zihao.
I came back late today, and there is another chapter that will be published later! (End of this chapter)
