Gu Xi did not continue the topic: "Did the town leaders come to commend you yesterday? It would be rude if I fell asleep."
Tian Congbao covered his mouth and laughed. Lin Ling was annoyed: "There were so many people standing at the gate of the courtyard at that time. I wanted to wake you up, but this kid refused to let me. He said that you disturbed the hero's sleep. The leader didn't dare to be accused of this. He quickly gave the certificate and bonus to the village chief, held a commendation meeting for others, and left."
Gu Xi didn't care at all whether she had offended her boss. She gave Tian Congbao a thumbs up and grabbed a handful of candy for him: "Well done. Now I'm going to Chen's house for dinner. You can go home now."
Tian Congbao waved his hands and said, "My brother-in-law bought me a lot of candy. I don't want any more. I can't finish them all."
Gu Xi raised her eyebrows: "After eating so much candy, you need to exercise more and brush your teeth every morning and evening, otherwise you will get cavities."
Tian Congbao quickly covered his ears and left, not wanting to listen to the nagging anymore.
They went to the village chief's house first. They had to get the bonus as soon as possible. Xu Zhengrong saw that Gu Xi looked very disappointed with him. "You. How can you sleep so well? The piglets in our pig farm know to wake up at mealtime. The leaders came yesterday and wanted you to speak on their behalf, but you slept until now. I really admire you."
Gu Xi listened attentively and did not change after repeated admonitions: "I was wrong. I will definitely get up at lunch time next time. Then who spoke in the end?"
Xu Zhengrong sighed, "Li Tong is a military wife and a volunteer for this event. She stood up to speak, which is far from your set of tricks, but it can be regarded as saving the situation. Ye Xinchen and Wei Qingzhe haven't come back yet, otherwise I would like to ask Wei Qingzhe to write an article. I heard from Old Wu that he usually makes money by writing articles for submissions."
Gu Xi finished her perfunctory concern and got to the point: "Uncle Xu, I'm here to get the bonus, but I want to donate it in the name of Qingmiao Village. I'll give Duojuan 500 yuan in the name of me and Wang Xu. This money is for you. Please help me with the operation."
Xu Zhengrong thought for a moment and said, "You and Wang Xu are not married yet, is it appropriate for you to donate together? Or you should donate separately."
Gu Xi smiled and said, "Let's go together." After thinking for a while, she leaned closer to Xu Zhengrong's ear and said, "Village Chief, you are the first one who knows besides my parents. I told you that Wang Xu and I have already obtained a marriage certificate and are married."
After hearing this, Xu Zhengrong's eyes widened like bells, and he looked frightened: "You...you actually..."
Seeing that there were still people around, he quickly stopped talking and nodded at Gu Xi with trembling hands: "You go back first, I understand, I need to be quiet for a while."
Gu Xi smiled even more happily: "Then I'll go first."
After this incident, Gu Xi had an even greater admiration for Wang Xu. He was a real man of steel, with great love in his heart, and he doted on her immensely. He had no flaws at all. She felt that she was really lucky and happy.
Two days later, rumors about Gu Xi and Wang Xu began to spread in the village. Lin Ling was so angry that she had a fight with someone in the field. The parties involved were dragged to the neighborhood committee, where Gu Xi, Gao Jinghong and Chang Ru happened to be there.
Gu Xi saw Lin Ling's face turn red with anger: "What's wrong? Why did you fight with someone?"
Lin Ling glared at her aunt angrily. The person opposite her was the most gossipy person in the village and always loved to exaggerate things.
When the other party saw Gu Xi, he lowered his head for a moment, feeling a little guilty. Gu Xi understood: "Tell me what happened, it seems to be related to me."
Several aunts who were watching the fun started talking at once: "Lan Hua said someone saw you and Wang Xu sleeping together, is that true?"
Gu Xi was confused by the question: "You saw me sleeping with Wang Xu? When? Was this pure sleep or impure sleep?"
Lin Ling was stunned by Gu Xi's question, and the aunt who was watching the fun on the side was also dumbfounded. This Gu Zhiqing is really awesome.
Lanhua, who was beaten, seized on this point and said, "Look at her. She doesn't look like a virgin at all. Others would blush if they were seen holding hands, but she still asked these questions. She has no shame."
Gu Xi sneered, "You were the first to mention that you saw me sleeping. You are not ashamed of peeping at others sleeping. What should I be ashamed of? And do you have any evidence? You are lying. I can call the police to arrest you and teach you a lesson."
When Lanhua heard about the police, she began to stammer, "I also heard from Aunt Gui next door that during the earthquake rescue, someone saw you and Wang Xu sleeping in his truck. You got off the truck in the morning and didn't return to the tent all night."
Gu Xi understood what happened in the earthquake zone: "Yes, there were aftershocks at the time, and the environment was bad. I couldn't sleep well, so I went to sleep in his truck. What's the problem? Is it illegal? When I slept in the tent, there were more than 20 people in it. I also slept on the roadside. There were also many soldiers who had been rescuing for more than 16 hours. They were too tired to lie down on the roadside, take a nap for a few hours, and then get up to continue the rescue.
During those days, my mind was full of rescue, hoping that more people could be rescued and that a miracle could happen. I only slept for three or four hours for several days in a row. Do you also want to be worried? It seems that you have too much free time. You don't know how difficult life is in the disaster-stricken areas. You can't even imagine that the entire city was razed to the ground, and all you see are ruins. Countless bodies of the victims are dug out every day.
Look at Lin Ling's hands, and then look at our feet and knees, they are all injured. Do you think we were just being lazy or playing around in the past? There are countless aftershocks every day, so there is no time to think about anything else. Saving lives and staying alive are all we can think about. We may even have to work more than ten or twenty hours of rescue work every day, eat only two steamed buns a day, and drink dirty water.
You even have the time to slander others here. I think you have lost your conscience. You are a stain on Qingmiao Village. I must tell the village chief and ask him to come up with a reasonable solution. "
After hearing Gu Xi's long string of words, those who were not involved in the rescue fell silent. Two aunts choked up and said, "Lin Zhiqing, Gu Zhiqing, I'm sorry. We were just sitting there with nothing to do. We will never talk about this again when we go back. You can't tell the village chief. My husband will scold me if he finds out."
Gu Xi sighed: "It seems that you don't know your mistake, but you are afraid of being scolded if you report it back."
Xu Zhengrong happened to be looking for Gu Xi for something, and saw that the neighborhood committee was full of people: "What's going on? Are you arguing again because you have nothing to do? Can you be quiet? Don't you know that Gu Zhiqing is very busy and is writing a speech for Qingmiao Village in the town? How can you be so ignorant?"
Lin Ling became angrier and angrier, so she complained directly: "Village head, these aunts were lazy at work, and they also gossiped about Gu Zhiqing, saying that she slept in Wang Xu's car during the disaster area rescue. They are shameless. Some even said something worse, saying that she was bullied by Boss Xu at home... In short, you have to take responsibility for this matter and clear Gu Xi's name."
