Chapter 31 Meritorious
Service Fang Dihua held the iron chain in her hand, "What do you mean lost?"
Wasn't the Chang family quarreling? How come the child was lost?
Lu Ping: "Huzi's mother said he didn't come home for lunch and didn't know where he was. Chang Xiaogang's brother said he didn't see him either." Mrs.
Wang was so angry with her daughter-in-law that she beat her again. She let her cook and look after the children at home, but she kept gossiping everywhere all day. As a result, her son was lost!
Fang Dihua: "At noon, I saw the two children wandering in the west, and I called them to go home for dinner. Now they didn't go back?"
Lu Ping: "Others also saw them going west. Hu Zi's father and grandmother took people to look for them, fearing that they had fallen into the well."
At this time, the voice of Mrs. Chang was heard outside, "Xiao Gang, go home for dinner, go home--"
She was shouting in a tones, as if calling for the soul.
Tiantian: "When I was mending the basin, they asked me to go to the west to play, but I remembered what grandmother said not to play with them, so I didn't go."
Panpan: "I asked Huahua and the others to go, but they didn't go either."
Fang Dihua hugged the two children, "Good children, you have to go, listen to the adults, and don't run around."
She suspected that the two children were disobedient and might have fallen into the well.
We haven't found the child for half a day, maybe he has already...
The two children nodded repeatedly and said in unison: "That's right, my grandfather has already said that there are water monkeys in the water and horse monkeys in the woods, and you can't go without adults."
Soon, everyone in the village was alarmed. Some people forgot to eat dinner and went to help find the child. The members who were watching the excitement in Changjia Hutong helped to find the child directly.
Father Lu also asked the eldest brother and the second brother to help look for him.
When leaving, the eldest brother Lu held a flashlight and asked the eldest sister-in-law to stay at home.
Mrs. Lu: "I can walk fast, help me look for it."
Brother Lu: "You are a woman with heavy yin energy. It's not safe to go out. Stay home at night."
Mrs. Lu: "I'm so strong, how can I have heavy yin energy?" Brother
Lu: "You are a woman, and women are yin. The stronger you are, the heavier you are. You stay home."
He left with Brother Lu.
Mrs. Lu stood at the door, looking very swaying. Seeing Mrs. Lu coming over to look around, she chuckled and said, "Look, your elder brother is so nice to me."
Mrs. Lu's mind was full of jealousy because her mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law favored Lin Shu. She was almost vomiting when Mrs. Lu said that. She shouted at her daughter, "Cuicui, Cuicui, where are you? Come home!"
That damn girl ran away after dinner. She really would tear the roof off the house if she wasn't punished.
Lin Shu was fumigating mosquitoes in the house. There were no mosquito coils or floral water in the house, but there were mosquito repellent grass made by her father-in-law. He used wormwood and some dried herbs to make a braid and burned it in the house at night to smuggle the mosquitoes away.
It was just to smuggle the mosquitoes away, but it was impossible to smuggle them to death.
The smell was so pungent that she asked the children to lead their grandma to the yard in the windward direction to fan the air so as not to get choked.
She found that the mosquito repellent grass, tuberose, mint, and mirabilis that the merchants advertised as mosquito repellent were actually useless and attracted mosquitoes.
In her previous life, Lin Shu's grandmother planted a yard of these flowers and plants outside the window, which did not stop the mosquitoes from buzzing in the house.
The medicine is not effective enough and is completely useless.
Especially at this time, nothing is as effective as physical methods.
Smoke them out, then put up a mosquito net, and then kill a few of them through the mosquito net, and you can basically sleep well at night.
Oh, I miss mosquito coils, mosquito liquid, and mosquito tablets. I hope my father-in-law can show his craftsmanship and use the resources of the county hospital to study these.
When the smell in the house was almost gone and the temperature dropped at night, Lin Shu coaxed the two children to sleep on the kang.
Although the temperature was high during the day and it was very hot under the scorching sun, there was no heat island effect at night. There was no air conditioning or exhaust gas, and the moisture on the ground was dissipated. Coupled with the breeze, it still felt very cool. You
still have to cover yourself with a sheet when you sleep at night.
When you just fell asleep, you felt hot, so Lin Shu only covered the two children's bellies and fanned them with a palm leaf fan.
Panpan’s eyelids were drooping, and he was trying hard to hold on. “Mom, do you think Huzi and Chang Xiaogang were eaten by tigers?”
Lin Shu: “That’s impossible. There are no tigers or poisonous snakes here.”
Tiantian’s belly was bulging. “Did they pass by the river and get caught by water monkeys?”
Lin Shu: “No, they must have gone far away to find cicada monkeys.”
Panpan: “Mom, do you think they were stolen by the pot repairman?”
Lin Shu: “No, the repairman is from our commune, and he has his own children.”
Panpan: “I saw that his two big boxes were so big, taller than me, they could definitely hide me, and he even asked me to go with him.”
Lin Shu didn’t feel anything at first, but now that Panpan said that, her heart skipped a beat.
By the way, according to the original plot, was Panpan lost in the past two days? It should be… two days ago?
She was not sure, because she was not dead, the Lu family did not have to hold a funeral, and the two children would not be sad to go west to find their parents.
The original book did not say that there was any brazer that day. After all, it was all recalled from the perspective of the heroine. She only remembered that Lu Pan was missing.
She recalled the plot carefully. Lu Pan was finally found in the mountains a hundred miles west of Lu's village.
Lu Pan, two women and three other boys were locked in an abandoned deep well. The well was a cave where bandits hid food in the early years. The location was so remote that even the locals didn't know it.
Lin Shu's head hurt from thinking about it. Some scenes were presented in the form of Lu Pan's flashbacks, which were not beautiful.
He was a gloomy and quiet man. He had a wife and son, but because of some things, they all died. He couldn't accept the reality and went crazy.
Lu Shaotang's comrades led people to search there, but did not find any suspicious clues.
The villagers living at the foot of the mountain also said that he was a poor man, honest and decent, his wife and children died tragically, and although he lived alone, he never did evil.
Later, Lu Pan pretended to be stupid and finally got the opportunity to climb out of the deep well along the rope ladder that the man didn't have time to pull out. When he climbed out, he was beaten by the people who were imprisoned with him, and limped to ask for help.
Lu Shaotang's comrades immediately sent people back to clean up the abandoned well. The people inside didn't say a word and pretended that no one was there. Even when they were forcibly pulled out, the two women still resisted and didn't want to leave.
Except for Lu Pan, everyone else truly believed that it was their home.
That man... When Lu Shaotang's comrades searched his house, they found a lot of scattered nails with flat ends, saying they were rivets.
Lin Shu suddenly remembered that the big box, rivets, and that old man was a rivet maker!
The man who came to the village must not be a rivet maker from the Fighting Commune, it was probably that kidnapper!
Could it be that the two children were... stolen by this rivet maker?
Although she had conflicts with the old Chang family, she put one thing on one thing.
Hu Zi and Chang Xiaogang are two ignorant children.
In her previous life, she could save a strange girl without hesitation, and in this life, she would save a stolen child.
Lin Shu coaxed the two children to sleep, quietly got out, pressed the mosquito net, and went out to find Fang Dihua.
Fang Dihua and Old Man Lu were using flashlights to irrigate the fruit trees in the yard, muttering that the big dog had stolen the honey apricots a while ago and now it was stealing peaches.
Fang Dihua heard her voice, "Are the children asleep?"
Lin Shu: "Yes. Mother, Panpan just said that the brazer wanted to kidnap him. Maybe he stole the two children. He carries a very high shoulder pole, it is easy for him to hide the children."
Fang Dihua: "Brazer? No way, how dare the brazers in our commune come down to steal children?"
Lin Shu: "It is probably not the brazers in our commune."
Fang Dihua: "His father, how many brazers are there in our commune?"
Father Lu has a good memory. He thought for a while and said, "A brazer named Ge, tall and thin, good at brazing large items, but not delicate items. A brazer named Jing Liuzhier, who does beautiful brazing and can rivet according to the patterns of fine porcelain. , those tea bowls in our house were mended by him, but unfortunately, they were broken later."
He is old, and he gets nostalgic whenever he talks about the past. He talked about tea bowls, teapots, Yixing teapots, and inkstones, but at least he came back to the past, "There is also an old Mou. These brazers usually have a habit of not leaving their names when they go out to work. I only know about them because I have dealt with us a lot."
Lin Shu asked about the characteristics of these people, "Panpan said that the brazer today looks like an ordinary person, with an ordinary height, without the characteristics that Dad said."
She didn't know what he looked like specifically, so she wanted to guide everyone to think of a brazer from another place.
Fang Dihua: "Let's go to West Street to ask, Jin Ping'er must have mended her tea bowls."
The old couple went to the street to find Jin Ping'er to ask.
Xu Laonian also took his sons to help look for it. Jin Ping'er was looking out the door with her little feet, asking if the child had been found. When
Lu Laodi and Fang Dihua came over, Jin Ping'er recognized them by their outlines at a glance, "Second Master and Second Wife are here."
Lu Laodi didn't say anything polite and asked about the brazer's appearance.
Jin Ping'er: "This brazer's work is really good, but he is really shady and dares to ask for money. He is as good as the master brazers at that time. Fortunately, I can bargain for him. Back then, our master..."
Fang Dihua: "Don't talk about that dead ghost, talk about the brazer."
Although Jin Ping'er is the concubine of a big landlord, she was sold away and had a hard life, so she boasted that she was strong and not afraid of anything others could do, and she always dared to speak out.
She laughed and said, "Look at my mouth, I can't stop telling stories."
She described the appearance of the brazer, "He is a disgrace, the green beans are lost in the green beans, the red beans are lost in the red beans, tut tut, ordinary people are so pitiful, they don't look good, and..." Fang Dihua
: "Okay, it's so dark, don't fall on your little feet, go home quickly."
Jin Ping'er: "Hey, I'll listen to the second grandma, I'll go home and sleep now."
The old couple went to the production team to talk to someone.
After the parents-in-law left, Lin Shu went back to the room and lit a bean-sized oil lamp, and got into the mosquito net to fan the two children with a palm-leaf fan.
"Ah - don't hit me!" Panpan suddenly screamed, and her chubby little body shrank into a ball.
Lin Shu quickly picked him up, "Pan Pan, Pan Pan?"
Pan Pan opened her dark eyes and cried, "Wow... Mom, that brazer beat me. I just wanted to learn the craft and make money, he forced me to call him dad, and when I didn't, he beat me. Wuwu..."
Tian Tian also woke up, rubbing her eyes, sleepy and not knowing what was going on.
Lin Shu used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face, and wiped Pan Pan's tears.
Panpan: "He's an ugly bastard. I don't want to call him dad. My dad is tall and handsome! He's a PLA soldier!"
Lin Shu hugged him with heartache and said softly: "Yes, we don't recognize an ugly bastard as our father. Dreams are all fake. Don't be afraid."
Tiantian rolled over and sat up. "It's all your fault that you wanted to learn how to mend bowls from him during the day, and then you dreamed about it at night."
Panpan pouted, "I won't learn it anymore in the future."
Lin Shu comforted them, lay down again, patted the two children, and sang a lullaby to them to sleep.
Fang Dihua and his wife went to the production team headquarters.
The men all went to the river and the well with flashlights and torches to look for their children.
The parents of Huahua and other girls were also there. They said that when they went to see the brazer in the afternoon, Huzi and Chang Xiaogang asked them to go to the west to play, but they didn't go.
In addition, someone saw the two children wandering in the west, so the men focused on looking there.
Fang Dihua found Aunt Li, "You saw the brazer,
right? He doesn't look like someone from our commune. Could he be the one who stole the child?" Aunt Li thought carefully. She was at home making paste for her coat and couldn't go out. She wanted to call the brazer home to mend a broken jar, but he left.
She glanced at the door. The brazer was wearing a hat and her face couldn't be seen, but his demeanor was indeed not like a brazer from the commune.
If the commune's brazer would take off his hat and greet the members openly, he wouldn't be so strange.
She immediately shouted, "Who saw the brazer this afternoon? Where did he come from? Second Madam said that the brazer is not from our commune and doesn't look like a decent person."
An old woman who was planting a palm-sized vegetable plot at the entrance of the village remembered, "He came from the east."
The east is the Tan Carpenter Village on the southeast side of the road, four or five miles away from Lujiazhuang. If she asked around, she might find news about the brazer.
At this time, Old Lady Chang came running over, stumbling. She cried to Huahua, Honghong, Juanjuan and other old ladies, "Why? Why didn't you go to the west to play? Why did only our grandson go? If you go, the children will be taken care of together, and nothing will happen?"
What's going on?
Aunt Li and others were a little confused. Is Old Lady Chang crazy?
Huahua kindly told her the situation, why did she insist on it?
Old Mrs. Chang stared at Fang Dihua and cried with tears and snot, "Why didn't you go when we asked your children to go? Now you say that the brazers are not decent people? Did you know that something bad was going to happen and deliberately didn't let the children go to play but let us go? How
could you be so cruel? My grandson is only six years old, he is still a child..." You Panpan and Tiantian went, they are both handsome, and if someone wanted to steal, they would steal them, not my Xiaogang.
Mrs. Qiu and others also came over. After hearing what Mrs. Chang was crying, they all said, "What kind of evil idea do you have? Is it wrong for everyone to help you find your child? The second grandfather and the second mistress did not care about your past mistakes and took the initiative to help you, but you are not grateful and are still saying bad things here. It's really..."
Aunt Li: "It's not a big deal. Everyone has children. Put yourself in their shoes. We can't bear to see our children suffer."
Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Wang also rushed over and scolded them. She slapped Old Lady Chang twice, "You old hag, are you confused? Why are you still here to offend good people?"
She bowed to the surrounding women and said nice things, "Everyone, help us find Hu Zi. Our Hu Zi is a fool. He can step on a snake or fall into a ditch when looking for cicadas and monkeys. This naughty child, he just won't listen after being beaten again and again, and still runs away."
Aunt Li and a few others persuaded her not to cry, and everyone should go to find the child.
Two or three hours later, the bad news came back that they didn't find the child.
The good news was that there was no trace of the two children in the ditch or the well.
If they fell into the water in the afternoon, they must have floated by now.
The flood season has not come yet, the water in the river has not surged, and it will not float to other places. If it does not float, it means that the child may not have fallen into the water.
Then - it is very likely that he was kidnapped? !
Because of the information provided by Fang Dihua and Old Man Lu, the brigade also has a target. At dawn, they split up into several groups. Some continued to watch the river, some went to the commune to ask the militia company for help, some went to the commune to ask the brazer, and some went to the surrounding villages to ask for information about the brazer...
So the director of public security, the commune militia company and the old Chang family went out to look for the suspicious brazer according to the information provided by Old Man Lu.
If it weren't for Old Man Lu's reminder, they really wouldn't suspect the brazer. After all, he was just an ordinary person with good craftsmanship. There was nothing to doubt.
After two days of not finding the person, Lin Shu felt that they were too slow.
How could they remind them that the brazer was from a hundred miles to the west?
That morning, Huahua, Honghong and other girls did not go out to play on the street, but ran to Lu's house to find Panpan and Tiantian. They chattered about how the brazer stole the children.
At this time, Tiantian imitated the brazer and said something.
Lin Shu suddenly had an idea, "I have a way!"
She let the children play at home, and she immediately went to the brigade to find someone to explain the situation.
Seeing this, Tiantian, Panpan and other children also followed her like little tails, and Huahua was shouting slogans one, two, one.
When they arrived at the brigade, the brigade secretary and Lu Shaocai were there, and the brigade leader and the director of public security also helped to find someone.
Lu Shaocai only now found out that his father Lu had received work points and soybeans for helping him with the accounting. He was so angry that his heart ached, thinking that his father Lu had taken advantage of him.
Seeing Lin Shu coming over, he said unhappily, "Why are you running out instead of staying at home to observe mourning?"
Move over, I'll build a chastity arch for you and let you remain a widower for the rest of your life. How can you have such a good time like now? Zhao Meifeng will even find you a rich second marriage!
Lin Shu ignored him, but said to the brigade secretary, "Secretary, I know where that brazer is from."
Lu Shaocai sneered, "Stop messing around, what do you know? Go home quickly!"
The tone was the same as if it was his wife.
The brigade secretary glanced at him and said to Lin Shu with a smile: "Shaotang wife, you tell me."
Lin Shu took a breath and said, "The brazer has an accent. He didn't dare to talk to adults. Seeing that Panpan was a child and not on guard, he talked to him a lot. I heard that the children learned to speak like that county in the west? That is, they speak in a roundabout way."
The local dialect is considered a language family, but the style is different every ten miles, and the accent changes after a few miles.
Brigade secretary: "Gao County?"
Lin Shu shook her head.
Panpan and Tiantian immediately sang in unison and began to imitate the brazer's speech.
Brigade secretary: "Oh, this is the Huang County accent! These two children are really good!"
The secretary was immediately overjoyed and asked the two children to learn a few more sentences.
Thanks to the good memory and imitation of the two children, and Panpan was jealous of the other brazer's money and talked to him a few more words, the other party might have said a few more words because he was young and wanted to kidnap him.
Huangxian was about a hundred miles to the west of them, so they could start to inquire from there.
He smiled and said, "Shaotang's wife, you and the children have done a great deed."
Then he asked Lu Shaocai to stay in the brigade and deal with it in time if anyone came to deliver a letter. He rode his bike to the commune to report the news.
The commune had a telephone, which could be used to contact Huangxian and ask the public security bureau and militia company there to help.
After the brigade secretary left, Lu Shaocai glared at Lin Shu unhappily, "I said Shaotang's wife, you have to be a good wife..."
Lin Shu glanced at him and rolled her eyes unceremoniously, "Be a decent person first."
She could be hypocritical with Zhao Meifeng because she could get the original owner's things back, but she was too lazy to be perfunctory with greasy men like Lu Shaocai.
Regardless of Lu Shaocai's anger, she led the children home first.
After a while, the girls were called back to eat by their families, and Lin Shu led the two children home to cook lunch.
Panpan excitedly asked Tiantian to read him the comic book about catching enemy spies. Although the brazer was just a child thief, he felt very excited, as if he had personally participated in catching bad guys.
This is different from the games that children play.
Exciting!
While I was busy, Zhao Meifeng ran over excitedly.
Zhao Meifeng: "The third brother's family, the matchmaker in the county introduced a man with good conditions. He is a retired military officer and is the deputy director of the county people's armed forces department. He will be promoted to a regular employee in the future. If you..."
Lin Shu smiled, "Sister-in-law, I think sewing is more important."
She is not interested in being a stepmother, let alone remarrying.
She relied on her parents-in-law for the first half of her life and her children for the second half of her life. What does she need a man for?
Infuriating?
Besides, this man can be a cadre after retiring, so he must be quite old.
Sure enough, Zhao Meifeng kept nagging herself. The man was in his 40s and had four children. The eldest daughter was married, leaving three children, and the youngest son was eight years old.
She was still nagging, the conditions were very good, and the children were grown up and did not need a stepmother to take care of them.
Lin Shu started to pretend to be deaf and dumb. No matter what Zhao Meifeng said, she just said "oh, um", which almost drove Zhao Meifeng crazy.
Zhao Meifeng looked at Lin Shu's beautiful face, and her enthusiasm faded. She also felt that the man was not worthy of Lin Shu, "Then I will look for someone again."
Lin Shu kindly advised: "Sister-in-law, my mother-in-law will scold me if she knows."
Zhao Meifeng immediately looked outside with vigilance, "I'm looking for someone for you first, right? Wait for three to five months, and it will be fine by the end of the year."
She didn't see Panpan and Tiantian lying on the door frame of the west room and staring at her.
Panpan: "What is a perfect husband?"
Tiantian thought for a while: "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies."
This is the story told by the grandfather.
Lin Shu asked Zhao Meifeng to bring her some thread tassels, "I don't have the right thread at home. Sister-in-law, you have that thin white thread, give me two thread reels."
Zhao Meifeng had lent all 15 feet of fabric to Lin Shu. The sunk cost was too high, and two thread reels were not a big deal.
"I'll lend it to you, and return it to me later." As expected, she went home and brought it to Lin Shu.
Lin Shu smiled and asked, "Have you ever returned something you borrowed from the original owner?
Besides, I will return it for the rest of my life. "
Zhao Meifeng was afraid that Lin Shu would ask her to do work again, so she ran away.
Fang Dihua came back to bring lunch, and happened to see Zhao Meifeng's back, and asked Lin Shu what she was doing.
Lin Shu: "Give me two thread reels, in case I don't have the matching thread to make clothes."
Fang Dihua: "..."
I don't believe it.
Tiantian and Panpan, two little spies, started to complain to grandma.
"My aunt said she would find a stepfather for me!"
"She instigated mom to ask grandma for money!"
"She said bad things about grandma!!"
Zhao Meifeng thought that the two children could not understand or remember, so she ignored them. Little did she know that they learned every word and could even interpret and analyze her subtext.
Fang Dihua raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Lin Shu who was picking up the nest. My goodness, he really had a big trick for her.
Lin Shu didn't feel guilty at all, and was very happy. "Mom, this is called catching a wolf without sacrificing a child, and it's also called luring the enemy deep into your territory. Otherwise, how could she give me money and cloth? When she told me about this, it was just the two of us, and there was no third person. I never promised her. If she dares to tell others that she will find someone for me, you can slap her."
She had already told Fang Dihua that she would not remarry. Besides, they all agreed that Lu Shaotang was fine, so she didn't need to remarry.
This was just her way of dealing with Zhao Meifeng.
Fang Dihua: "..."
This Ma Shenxian's class was really not in vain.
He used to be simple-minded, but now he is as smart as a sieve.
At this time, Old Lady Chang was crying for her grandson behind the house again. The old Chang family had been looking for Chang Xiaogang with the commune militia for the past two days, but they didn't know the specific destination, so they could only ask if there were any brazers nearby.
Old Lady Chang: "Oh, why am I so miserable? My wife was beaten, and my grandson was killed. Oh, God, it's so unfair."
Fang Dihua was just angry and didn't say anything to her. She directly splashed the basin of water that Lin Shu used to wash the pot out of the back window.
"Ah——"
Old Lady Chang, who was passionately performing a tragic drama, was splashed all over her head and body without paying attention. She cried and went home to change clothes on the spot.
Fang Dihua: "Don't get used to this kind of person. If you splash her again after this, I will take care of it if anything happens."
What the hell!
An ungrateful dog.
If it weren't for the fact that the child was pitiful and innocent, I would have really had a serious talk with them.
But what made Fang Dihua secretly happy was that everyone in the village stood on the side of the Lu family, scolding Mrs. Chang for being out of her mind, so she didn't take it seriously. A person with a
clear conscience has nothing to fear.
Lin Shu: "Okay."
She gave them more of the cold kelp shreds and garlic-mashed eggplant. The eldest brother liked them, so the eldest sister-in-law would be happy to give them more.
In addition, there were vegetables sent by Aunt Li. Lin Shu blanched them directly with boiling water. They were fresh, green, tender, crisp and sweet.
Fang Dihua saw that she had dripped two drops of oil. Although she felt that the eldest brother didn't deserve it, she didn't say anything. After all, the family was having a meal.
Fang Dihua went out with the food and met Zhao Meifeng sneaking around at the intersection.
Zhao Meifeng: "Auntie."
Fang Dihua glanced at her, snorted, and her face darkened.
Zhao Meifeng saw her cold face, and guiltily made small talk, "Auntie, you should be more open-minded about the matter of the third brother."
Fang Dihua sarcastically said, "How can you be open-minded? You are looking for a second marriage for his wife now?"
She obviously didn't mention any names, but Zhao Meifeng subconsciously felt that she was blaming herself.
Zhao Meifeng said awkwardly, "Aunt, does the third sister have any ideas? There's an old saying that goes, a girl
should not be kept at home when she grows up, let alone..." Fang Dihua, "I don't know whether she has that idea or not, but I see you have a lot of ideas. I'm talking to the eldest sister, so you better sit back and sit properly. If there are rumors outside, don't blame me for not giving you face."
Zhao Meifeng's face suddenly turned red, she felt guilty and angry, and there was also a sense of embarrassment from being rebuked by someone. "Aunt, what you said is strange."
Fang Dihua sneered and ignored her.
Zhao Meifeng thought about Fang Dihua's question and felt that it revealed a message: Lin Shu showed that she wanted to remarry!
Okay, there's hope!
She decided to work harder to find a better one. This was not just to find a second husband for Lin Shu, but also to find a backer for herself and her son!
She thought that she should take Lin Shu to take a photo. Wouldn't it be easier to show people the photo?
Such a pretty face, even a glance at the photo would be charming!
Now the days are getting longer. It was still light after dinner at 7:30, and it was dark at 8 o'clock.
Fang Dihua and Old Man Lu were sitting at the dining table washing dishes and talking about killing trees. At this time, there was a noise outside, and it sounded like two families had returned from looking for their children.
Soon, Aunt Li and Mrs. Qiu came over with Grandma Hu and Mrs. Wang.
Wang Pozi came in with a bucket of eggs and cried, "Thank you so much, otherwise we wouldn't have found Huzi."
Aunt Li was afraid that she would break the eggs, so she quickly took the bucket.
Fang Dihua signaled Sister Lu to help the man, and asked Sister Er and Lin Shu to bring out stools for the man to sit on.
Everyone was very happy, "It's good that the child is found."
Mrs. Wang was so excited that she put her hands together and knelt down to Fang Dihua and Old Man Lu, "I only have one grandson, Hu Zi. You saved my life."
Fang Dihua grabbed her and pressed her on a small stool, "Sit down and talk!"
In the past two days, Mrs. Wang has been accompanying her son and the director of public security to look for the child everywhere. They inquired about the brazer based on Old Man Lu's information, but it was too slow to find out a little bit at a time. Fortunately, Lin Shu and the child provided information today. The brigade secretary went to the commune in person to report. The commune called Huang County, and the Huang County Public Security Bureau and the Red Flag Commune militia company helped, and quickly determined the location of the brazer.
Unexpectedly, it was Hetan Village under the Red Flag Commune of Huang County, which was a hundred miles away!
"That bastard lives in the mountains. We found him but he still didn't admit it. He said he had never been far away and had always worked in the commune, or he was at home tending to his private plot in the mountains." "
The Public Security Bureau said that thanks to the clues you provided in time, they visited other members and got the information about the brazer, and then they knew it was him. He can't get away with it!"
"This inhuman thing kidnapped two women and three boys and locked them in the big well. They ate and peed in it. They suffered so much!"
Mrs. Wang said with gritted teeth.
When she found her grandson, although Mrs. Wang was exhausted physically and mentally, she burst out with unprecedented strength. She rushed up and grabbed the brazer's face, making it bloody, and bit off a piece of flesh from his arm.
In these short two or three days, she was really living a miserable life. As soon as she fell asleep,
she dreamed that her grandson was gone, which frightened her so much that she jumped up and continued to look for him. Before she found her grandson, her mind was full of the miserable way his grandson had been harmed. She couldn't eat and dared not sleep. In just two or three days, she was so thin that her cheekbones were protruding.
The moment she found her grandson, her heart dropped into her stomach.
Mrs. Wang cried and laughed at the same time, "Our Hu Zi is such a thief. That bastard called me daddy when we asked him to, and called me mommy when we asked him to. He called me mommy and she even gave him food and drink. He called me so sweetly. He is really a little idiot who deserves a beating."
When Hu Zi saw his family, he was full of energy and didn't look like he was suffering at all.
Wang Po was still called back to life. She went home and washed herself with mugwort water, burned some paper, and fell asleep right on the pillow.
Lin Shu felt sad. In reality, Wang Po found her Huzi, and in the book, Tiantian became lame. Fang Dihua and Old Man Lu couldn't find their Panpan, and they became so anxious that their hair turned white and they became skinny. The whole family couldn't live in peace, and finally had no choice but to send a telegram to Lu Shaotang's troops.
In the book, Lu Pan suffered a great crime.
Fang Dihua: "It's good that you found it. Go back and accompany the child."
Mrs. Wang sniffed and said with a smile: "Second Madam, I will let the child come to kowtow to you tomorrow."
Fang Dihua: "No, we are all busy. Let the child rest at home."
Mrs. Wang: "Yes, yes, I forgot. I will bring him here in the evening when I get off work."
Fang Dihua asked him to take the egg back.
Mrs. Wang refused to do so, as if her grandson would be in trouble if Fang Dihua did not keep the egg. Besides, the third son of the Lu family was gone, and her daughter-in-law had gossiped about him before. She was also very ashamed and shameless. She had to let the egg stay no matter what.
Fang Dihua: "How about this, 5 cents each, I'll count the money..."
"Second Madam, aren't you slapping me in the face? Now that Hu Zi is back, I'm willing to not eat eggs for the rest of my life!"
Fang Dihua: "Hu Zi has been frightened and needs to be compensated. Let's take half each, don't argue."
In the end, Mrs. Wang took more than half of the eggs back and said goodbye while wiping her tears. Second Madam and Second Master are good people. They don't hold grudges against them and even show them the way. If it weren't for them, Hu Zi would be gone.
And Shao Tang's two children and his wife are really smart.
Tian Tian and Pan Pan were able to learn the brazer's accent perfectly, and Shao Tang's wife was also smart. She was able to distinguish them from the accent and quickly told the branch secretary.
Good people, they are all good people.
From then on, if anyone said anything bad about them, I would be the first to rush out and complain.
In the back, the Chang family heard the earth-shaking cry of the old lady, "My little Gang, you are suffering so much, that beast struck by lightning, God must strike him to death with lightning!"
When everyone found the waste well, Chang Xiaogang had a big iron chain locked on his leg, one leg was broken, and he was in a coma with a high fever.
The Public Security Bureau and the militia company helped to send him to the county hospital as soon as possible, but the doctor thought it was too late. Although the child could be rescued, his leg... would definitely be disabled, and he would be lame in the future.
The old lady Chang cried bitterly, scolded Song Chunfang, scolded Chang's second daughter-in-law, and gritted her teeth and scolded the Lu family.
"They knew where the brazer was from, why didn't they tell us earlier? They had to make our children suffer before they told us, they are really bad!"
After scolding the Lu family, she scolded Huzi, "He was infected with swine fever, why is he fine? He must be sweet to others, so that others would trouble our Xiaogang instead of him." At
the Lu family, Tiantian and Panpan had fallen asleep.
Lin Shu lay on the kang, using the moonlight to describe the two children's peaceful sleeping faces over and over again with her eyes.
My children, I will never let you suffer the pain and torture in the books in this life. I want you to be healthy and happy for the rest of your life.
