"Girl, you are very smart. You remembered to tell me!" The driver gave her a thumbs up.
Qin Man smiled awkwardly and explained:
"I saw that he had a knife in his hand, and I was afraid that he would accidentally hurt other people, so I came to tell you. But I'm in a hurry to go to work now, please open the door and let me down!"
Qin Man made a gesture of asking, and the passengers in the car burst into enthusiastic applause. In this era, the people are simple and honest, and things like bravery and righteousness are the easiest to be praised. Everyone is learning the spirit of Lei Feng.
There was endless praise from everyone, all praising Qin Man for her intelligence and cleverness.
Several young men pinned down the pickpocket, and the driver opened the door. Qin Man got out quickly and went to work.
Seeing this, a young man in a white shirt got out of the car with Qin Man and chased after her.
I finally caught up with her and walked side by side with her.
"Ma'am, I'm a reporter from a newspaper. I was on that bus just now and witnessed your clever behavior. I would like to interview you and write a report about your extraordinary wit and bravery in speaking out against injustice. Could you spare some time to answer my questions?"
Qin Man looked at the man who suddenly appeared with a confused look on her face. He had already taken out a small notebook and was ready to start writing.
No? This is what made it to the newspaper?
"Uh... I told you, I just happened to see him, he had a knife in his hand, I didn't want to alert the enemy, so I told the driver and asked him to find a way to catch him, it's that simple, I've told you once!"
This is really just something I did casually, there's nothing to interview about, right?
Maybe she ignored the trend of that era!
"Madam, your behavior should be praised. It is a textbook solution that can call on the general public to remain calm and seek help from others when encountering such situations and when criminals are armed, so as to protect their own lives and property as well as the lives and property of other people!"
He was just worrying about having nothing good to write about, and then he witnessed such an incident with his own eyes. Of course he couldn't let it go and had to write about it in the newspaper and spread it.
Qin Man just laughed awkwardly and didn't know what to say next.
It looked like the reporter wasn't going to leave yet, as he was writing something in his little notebook as he walked.
"Well, if you're okay, I'll go to work first. Bye!"
Having arrived downstairs of the department store, Qin Man greeted him and went in.
After walking a few steps, the reporter came up and asked:
"Ma'am, could you please tell me your name?"
"My last name is Qin!"
Since it was such a glorious deed that was reported in the newspaper, there was nothing to hide. She would wait and see if her heroic deeds would be reported in tomorrow morning's newspaper.
"Okay, sorry to bother you, I wish you a happy life!" The reporter stopped following and turned to leave the department store.
Qin Man shared what happened this morning with Jiang Lian and Cheng Song as a conversation after dinner.
The next morning, Cheng Song went to buy a daily morning paper, and indeed found a column in it that wrote about an enthusiastic citizen, Ms. Qin, who was on a bus and who cleverly cooperated with the driver to catch a pickpocket.
"Sister Manman, you really made it to the newspaper, that's amazing!"
Cheng Song handed the newspaper to Qin Man to read. Qin Man took it and took a look. The words "enthusiastic citizen Ms. Qin" on it almost made her laugh.
At that time, there were no short video platforms or smart phones, otherwise she would have become famous in the future.
You know what, it's really interesting, she has made it big, she even made it to the newspaper!
She brought the newspaper back to Jiang Cong in the evening and told him proudly that she was in the newspaper.
"I was so smart at the time that even the reporter said that my performance was textbook-level and should be praised. Husband, won't you praise me?"
Jiang Cong saw her showing off and thought she was adorable, with a doting smile on his face.
He held the two little ones in his arms and taught them:
"We should be proud of our mother in the future. She has been on the newspapers!"
"Dad, what is a newspaper?" Xiaoyu is still young, so she doesn't know what a newspaper is.
"I know, I know!" Xiao Li raised his chubby little hand to answer.
"Okay, then tell me, what is a newspaper?" Jiang Cong gave him a chance to show off.
Xiao Li nodded, and then acted like a little adult.
"Grandpa said that newspapers are for telling the common people about important events that we don't know about. Only heroes and people who have contributed to the country can appear in newspapers. Bad people who do bad things will also be criticized in newspapers. Our mother is not a bad person, so she must be a heroine!"
Xiao Li is really smart. Usually, he will remember what you say to him after you say it only once.
"Well, Xiao Li is awesome, you're right, Mom is a great hero, so we should learn from her!" Jiang Cong scratched his little nose.
Xiao Li was praised by his father and raised his little head proudly.
āIām great too!ā
The son was praised, and the daughter became jealous and was eager to prove herself.
"Well, you are great too!" Jiang Cong smiled helplessly.
