The incident in Jiang Dahai's family lasted for a long time. When Jiang Dahai's wife returned to her hometown, An Hua had already taken Song Yi to get the fourth rabies vaccine.
When he met Song Chuhong in the hospital, she found out that Song Yi had been bitten by a dog.
She said to Song Yi guiltily: "I haven't visited you for many days, and I didn't know you were bitten by a dog."
Song Yi said sympathetically: "It's okay, Aunt Hong, I know you are busy."
In fact, ever since An Huan started helping Song Yi, Song Chuhong has paid less and less attention to Song Yi. In the past, she would save some food from her own mouth to send some to Song Yi, but now she feels that Song Yi has An Huan's help and doesn't need those things, so she no longer cares about him.
It is normal for Song Chuhong to have a hard life, and Song Yi understands this.
Besides, Song Chuhong had already helped him in difficult times, the favor had been established, and Song Yi would never forget it.
"By the way..." Song Chuhong hesitated and glanced at An Hua.
An Hua thought she wanted to say something to Song Yi, and it was inconvenient for outsiders to be present, so she said, "Then I'll leave first. Song Yi, you go home by yourself later, and remember to come over for dinner with Dong Dong after school tomorrow."
Song Yi agreed, watched An Hua go away, then turned to Song Chuhong, "Actually, there's nothing that Aunt An can't hear."
Song Chuhong said: "It's not that I can't let her hear it, but I'm afraid that if she hears it, she will support you to go to the provincial capital."
Song Yi asked: "Aunt Hong, what happened?"
Song Chuhong: "Do you still remember your Uncle Yan?"
Song Yi lowered his head and said, "Remember."
Yan Hongyi is a good friend of Song Xu. When the Song family was in trouble, Song Xu asked Yan Hongyi in the provincial capital for help. He did not ask him to do anything else, but only hoped that Yan Hongyi would take Song Yi in for the sake of the relationship between the two families.
The Yan family used to be a country gentry, but their fortunes had long since fallen into decline. By the time of Yan Hongyi's generation, he had to borrow money even for his studies.
Out of nostalgia for their old friendship, the Song family funded Yan Hongyi's studies. Later, when Yan Hongyi went out to participate in the revolution, the Song family also helped take care of Yan Hongyi's blind mother and even saw her to her final resting place.
However, when Song Yu asked Yan Hongyi for help, Yan Hongyi did not even reply to his letter.
At first, Song Yu thought that Yan Hongyi had not received the letter, or that Yan Hongyi had also suffered a disaster? Later, he found out that it was neither of them, and Yan Hongyi just didn't want to help.
Well, this world is understandable, but Song Yu still feels a little disappointed.
Even if you want to refuse, can you at least write back and give a reason?
Song Yu's mentality directly affected Song Yi.
He did not hate Yan Hongyi, but he could no longer regard Yan Hongyi as a close elder.
"Your Uncle Yan wrote to me, saying that he wanted to take you to the provincial capital and adopt you as his godson."
"I'm not going."
Song Chuhong sighed, "I don't support you going either. I don't know why he wants to adopt you at this time, but I always feel that he is a little heartless. If one day in the future he thinks you will affect him, he will definitely get rid of you without hesitation."
Song Yi: "Does he know about my current situation?"
Song Chuhong nodded, "He knows, including your father's death and the fact that you were sponsored to continue your studies... He knows all of this, and he also said that you can go to a better school in the provincial capital, and his daughter is the same age as you, so you can go to school together."
Song Yi seemed to be thinking about something.
Yan Hongyi used to come to Yun County several times every year, and he would visit the Song family every time he came. He and Song Xu could talk about anything, and Song Xu once treated him as a close friend.
"I'm just afraid that An Huazhi will support you to go to the provincial capital after hearing this news. After all, Yan Hongyi wants to formally adopt you. She doesn't know the inside story and may think that this will be better for your future."
Song Yi: "I will never go to the Yan family. Also, even if Aunt An knew about this, she would not raise any objections. She would definitely respect my choice."
Song Chuhong chuckled and said, "I was just worrying too much."
After taking a closer look at Song Yi, Song Chuhong felt relieved.
Song Yi had grown to be as tall as her shoulders without anyone noticing, and all his clothes fit him perfectly without a single patch.
Standing there, the small figure stood tall like a green pine.
No one who sees this will think that Song Yi is an orphan without a father or a mother.
Song Chuhong believes that it would be best if Song Yi could continue his current life and grow up safely.
***
Time passed from the scorching summer to the cold autumn, and then to the deep winter, and soon it was 1972.
At the beginning of 1972, a major news item occupied the front page of the newspaper.
Nixon visited China, and then the Shanghai United Daily News was published, announcing the normalization of Sino-US relations.
Xiao Zheng sat there, reading every word very carefully.
An Hua laughed at him, "Do you want me to give you my dad's magnifying glass?"
Xiao Zheng shook his head, and after a while, put down the newspaper.
An Hua asked, "What's wrong? From the look of your face, do you disapprove?"
Xiao Zheng still shook his head. "In today's world, the big brother in the north has long since changed, and the bunch of little ones under his feet are all restless. It's a good thing to ease the relationship with the bald eagle on the other side of the ocean."
Xiao Zheng does not just look at ideology, he always considers the issue from the perspective of geopolitical strategy and his own interests.
“Does this also mean that in the future the focus will be shifted to economic development?”
Xiao Zheng asked in confusion: "Aren't we all focused on economic development? How many factories have been built since the founding of the People's Republic of China?"
What An Hua actually wanted to say was to develop the private economy.
However, this is a historical trend, she knew it would come sooner or later, so there was no need to discuss this with Xiao Zheng now.
Xiao Zheng said: "But in the future we should open up to the Western world, and maybe even do business with the Americans."
An Hua: "......How do you know?"
Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "How do I know? This is very obvious. Now we are not open, not because we don't want to open, but because someone is blocking us. But when Lao Mi visited China, it was like a gap..."
An Hua looked at Xiao Zheng with admiration, "I thought you only knew how to fight, but I didn't expect you also understood political economics."
Xiao Zheng straightened his chest and said confidently, "I am a division-level cadre after all, how can I not know anything?"
An Hua: "Not all cadres are as smart as you. After all, there are only a few who can have a strategic vision. Apart from anything else, I heard many people around me cursing when the Americans visited China this time."
Xiao Zheng smiled like Duo Yi'er, "Praise me a few more times."
"My old Xiao is a man of great talent, quick wit, insight, and profound knowledge. Most importantly, he is so handsome! He is truly the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, the contemporary Pan An!"
"Who is Pan An?"
"A famous handsome man in ancient times."
Xiao Zheng was bubbling with beauty, and looked at his wife lovingly.
An Hua felt that his eyes were full of electricity, and the whole air became ambiguous and romantic.
However, someone quickly destroyed the romantic atmosphere with just one sentence.
"Your little mouth is so sweet, I really want to take a sip!"
...Okay, I'm suddenly embarrassed.
