Several people were waiting there for Gu Yanqing to come back.
Hu Guifen was tired of crying, she lowered her head embarrassedly, and pinched the hem of her clothes stiffly.
Qian Xiaolan sighed. No matter how powerful her mother-in-law was in the village, she was still an authentic rural woman. She came to a strange city and had such a thing happen. She could hold back until now before crying. It was already admirable enough.
Qian Xiaolan and her daughter comforted Hu Guifen and her daughter. Seeing that the four people's attention was not on him, the young man tried to escape several times, but Qian Xiaolan kept him in place with a look every time.
The onlookers originally wanted to help watch over the young man, but in the end they were unable to help.
The public security comrades arrived earlier than Gu Yanqing. When the incident happened, Rong Qian had just received Hu Guifen and others. She witnessed everything with her own eyes and personally participated in catching the thief.
Therefore, she took Hu Guifen and her daughter to the police station to take their statements, while Qian Xiaolan stayed there waiting for Gu Yanqing.
What she didn't expect was that the man chased the thief directly to the gate of the Public Security Bureau and happened to run into Hu Guifen.
After receiving the message from Gu Yanqing, Qian Xiaolan rushed over.
As luck would have it, the person Gu Yanqing arrested was in the same group as the young man he had caught before.
The trouble is that there are more than ten people in their gang.
The police interrogated for a long time but still couldn't figure out who stole Gu Yujiao's package.
Hu Guifen's complexion became worse and worse, and she looked like she was about to faint.
Gu Yanqing sighed, took out his ID, and asked to meet alone with the young man who was captured by Hu Guifen and others.
The public security comrade agreed after only a brief thought.
Gu Yanqing was very quick. He entered the interrogation room and came out with an address in less than ten minutes.
When the public security comrades saw the address, they were very excited and immediately sent people to arrest the person.
Two hours later, the police caught the man.
“We were late, the money in the package was spent, and the food was gone.
Fortunately, Comrade Gu Yujiao's university admission letter and your letters of introduction are still there."
When Hu Guifen heard this, she felt both distressed and relieved.
She hid a full twenty dollars in the package!
This damn thief!
Fortunately, my daughter’s things are still there, otherwise she would have been so angry that she would die.
Qian Xiaolan and Gu Yanqing both breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at the admission letter.
Rong Qian patted Hu Guifen on the back and consoled her, "My dear, the money is gone, but the person is fine and the notice is still there, which is a blessing."
The group finally left the Public Security Bureau in the middle of the night.
It was so late and it was inconvenient to go anywhere, so Qian Xiaolan simply booked two rooms in a guesthouse near the train station.
After a night of worry, Hu Guifen even developed a fever in the middle of the night.
Rong Qian had no medicine, so she could only use warm water to wipe her body and massage the acupoints. As a result, the fever subsided but came back again not long after.
Helpless, he had to run and knock on Qian Xiaolan and their door.
The couple were both in the space and came out quickly when they heard the noise.
Qian Xiaolan gave Hu Guifen a few injections with silver needles and fed her some medicine, and the fever subsided completely.
After all this trouble, it was already dawn.
Except for Qian Xiaolan and Gu Yanqing who took a nap in the space, everyone else looked unhappy, and Gu Yujiao felt very guilty.
"It's all my fault. I had to give you the whole surprise. This is quite a surprise."
Qian Xiaolan patted her head and said, "Don't blame yourself, it's impossible for people to predict the future.
But your acceptance letter really gave us a surprise."
Nanning Normal University.
Qian Xiaolan didn't expect that Gu Yujiao would choose to travel so far to study at a normal school.
When I asked her which school she wanted to apply to, she only said a normal college but didn't say which one specifically.
Hu Guifen leaned against the head of the bed with a pale face and said with a smile:
“This girl has been bored in the village since Xiaolan came to join the army.
The topics of conversation of those good sisters in the village were now all about getting married and having children. She didn't like to hear them, so she seldom played with them.
This time, your father and I wanted her to apply for a school close to home, but she insisted on coming here, saying that she wanted Fourth Sister-in-law to keep her company. "
Hu Guifen looked helpless, but she was happy in her heart.
There are many problems between sisters-in-law, and it is rare for them to have such a good relationship.
This also shows that—
"What a clever little girl!"
The mother and son's topics suddenly overlapped.
It was the first time that Gu Yujiao was praised like this by her fourth brother. She grinned with joy, making Qian Xiaolan and the others laugh.
Since her in-laws had come from far away, Rong Qian had originally planned to take three days off.
Somehow Dr. Shi found out about it and offered to take over the shift.
Rong Qian knew that she accepted the offer because Qian Xiaolan had secured such a large order for her son-in-law's ceramic factory, so she did not refuse.
As Hu Guifen was still not feeling well, the group did not stay in the city and took a boat directly home.
This was Gu Yujiao's first time riding on a boat, and it was her own boat. She was so happy that she ran back and forth between the bow and stern of the boat like a child.
Hu Guifen was worried that she would fall into the sea, so she kept her attention on her and did not show any symptoms of seasickness at all.
It was almost time for lunch, but it was still early to return to Xiya Island, so Qian Xiaolan took out rice, flour and vegetables and asked Rong Qian to sit at the bow of the boat to cook.
Hu Guifen wanted to help, but was forced to lie down in the cabin by Gu Yanqing.
Now that they were downstream, Qian Xiaolan simply stopped the boat, took out two fishing rods, handed one to Gu Yanqing and the other to Gu Yujiao: "Whether we can have fish for lunch today depends on you two brothers and sisters."
Hearing this, Gu Yujiao's eyes lit up, and she patted her chest and promised:
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law, I will definitely catch a big fish before Brother does and give it to us as a dish!"
Gu Yanqing glanced at her, said nothing, and directly put on the bait and cast the hook.
Gu Yujiao got anxious when she saw this and followed his example to bait the fish. Hmm, the hook was not properly set. Let’s try again…
"Sister-in-law, help me! Why can't I put up the bait properly?"
Her fourth brother clearly looks so relaxed!
Gu Yujiao pouted in frustration.
Qian Xiaolan smiled and taught her how to bait, cast the hook, and release the line. She also warned her:
"If you find a fish on the hook, don't get excited and pull the fishing line directly, otherwise you will either hurt your hands or be dragged into the sea."
Although Gu Yujiao sometimes acts rashly, she is the most receptive to advice.
Seeing her nod, Qian Xiaolan handed the fishing rod to her with confidence and turned back to help with cooking.
Hu Guifen couldn't sleep, so she sat down and chatted with them.
She talked about the people and events in the Qinghe Brigade, and Rong Qian talked about the various strange patients she met in the hospital.
Qian Xiaolan talked about her factory.
Gu Yujiao was doing two things at once. She was fishing while listening to the conversation here, and she even laughed when she heard something interesting.
The atmosphere on the entire ship is extremely warm and harmonious.
Suddenly, Gu Yanqing's fishhook couldn't sink. He smiled and glanced at Gu Yujiao:
"Gu Jiaojiao, my fish is hooked.
And your bait was eaten!"
"Impossible!" Gu Yujiao didn't believe it.
