Cheng Mingyue didn't take this little episode to heart at all. She smiled and nodded to everyone, then turned and went into the yard, closing the door casually.
Since that day, the villagers looked at Cheng Mingyue with even more burning eyes, and they really regarded her as a walking golden baby.
Cheng Mingyue came into the room with the remittance slip, and Lu Chen looked at Cheng Mingyue with sparkling eyes.
"Your manuscript has been accepted."
"Yeah, I thought it was hopeless before, this is really a pleasant surprise. I'll go to town tomorrow to withdraw the money and buy some things."
Cheng Mingyue was troubled again when she mentioned going to town. She bought a bicycle but still didn't know how to ride it.
Lu Chen saw Cheng Mingyue's worry and said tentatively: "...How about...I teach you how to ride a bike?"
"you?"
Cheng Mingyue glanced at Lu Chen's left leg subtly. It was not that she looked down on Lu Chen, but with her huge weight, Lu Chen might not be able to handle it.
Forget it, she still has her elder and second brothers.
"Goodbye, you've been working too hard lately. You should rest at home. I'll go find my eldest and second brothers to teach me."
After saying that, Cheng Mingyue put the remittance slip into the space, took the newspaper and went out.
Lu Chen's eyes were gloomy. He naturally saw the look Cheng Mingyue had just given him. He stroked his left leg gently and made a decision secretly.
Not long after Cheng Mingyue walked out of the house, she ran into Wang Guihua who was rushing over.
"Yue'er, I heard that the article you wrote was submitted to the newspaper. Come and show it to me."
Cheng Mingyue happily handed the newspaper to Wang Guihua and said proudly, "Mom, look at how amazing I am! I'm the one who makes a big splash when I do make a sound!"
Wang Guihua laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared. She looked left and right at the newspaper, hoping she could see a flower.
Wang Guihua held it in for a long time before finally saying, "Yue'er, you write so well. ...Where is it?!"
Cheng Mingyue: “…”
You haven't even found the place yet and you're already praising it. You're really great.
Cheng Mingyue then remembered that her mother had never been to school, and smiled as she pointed to the article she had written.
Wang Guihua could only recognize one or two characters, and she really didn't know the others.
Cheng Mingyue immediately had a new idea in her mind, but she had to discuss this matter with her father before making a decision.
The mother and daughter walked home hand in hand. Zhang Hongying and Zhang Lan were already waiting there reading the newspaper.
The two sisters-in-law did have some education, but only at the elementary school level, and their knowledge of words was very limited. When they were in school, they only had classes for half a day, and the rest of the day was spent on school-organized labor.
At that time, many people thought that working at school was better than helping out at home, as at least they could earn a few work points. So, without much thought, I only attended elementary school and then dropped out.
The two sisters-in-law were having a hard time reading the newspaper, stumbling over their words. Cheng Mingyue took the opportunity to say, "Dad, I heard that other brigades in our commune have organized literacy classes. Why don't we organize one in our village too? That way, the villagers can at least learn a few words, which is better than being blind."
The village chief took two puffs of his pipe and hesitated. "That's a good idea, but we have to pay people for running the literacy class. Our village is so poor, how can we afford that kind of money?"
The village chief heard that other brigades were running literacy classes, and they hired teachers from schools, paying them two yuan a month! Their village...sigh...
"Dad, those educated youth in our village can teach us. Just give them two extra work points and they'll be happy to do it. If they don't want to, I can teach them, too."
The village chief tapped his pipe on the ground, his face beaming with joy. "Yue'er is really clever. Maybe this thing will really work out! I'll go to town tomorrow to report to the leaders. Just wait for my good news."
After saying that, the village chief also leaned over to read the newspaper.
Cheng Mingyue walked around the room and didn't see Cheng Xiangdong and Cheng Xiangnan: "Dad, where are my eldest and second brothers?"
The village chief, his eyes glued to the newspaper, replied casually, "Oh, they're all fishing in the river. I heard a lot of fish have drifted down from upstream, so everyone's gone to pick them up. We'll go too in a bit."
"That's right, Yue'er, why don't you come with us? We don't have anything to do right now anyway, so we're just sitting around doing nothing."
"Come with us. It's good to have company. I'll get the bamboo basket."
Zhang Hongying and Zhang Lan also greeted them warmly, and Zhang Lan even ran to get the bamboo basket for the fish.
Cheng Mingyue wanted to say that there were not so many fish, but she was afraid of spoiling everyone's fun, so she just smiled and said nothing.
Finally, Cheng Mingyue, Zhang Hongying, Zhang Lan, the village chief and his wife, the five of them walked towards the river, talking and laughing.
When they arrived at the river, they were shocked to see that the river was packed with people, like dumplings being dropped into a pot. The scene was truly spectacular.
this……
It would be strange if we could catch any fish. Even if we could, there would probably be too many people and too little fish.
Forget it, let’s just watch the fun.
Cheng Mingyue thought so in her heart and did so, standing far away on the shore watching everyone busy.
Suddenly a scream rang out: "Where is my dog Dan? Why is my dog Dan gone?"
Everyone panicked and gathered around. Soon, a villager who was a good swimmer fished out a five-year-old boy from the middle of the river.
When everyone came closer to take a look, the child was no longer breathing.
Goudan's mother had already collapsed on the ground out of fear, and Goudan's father was also shaking with tears.
Cheng Mingyue gritted her teeth, rushed forward, and shouted: "Everyone spread out."
After saying that, he snatched the child from his mother's hands, laid him flat on the ground, tilted his head to one side, and began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
She had seen a video before that said a song by a certain group was exactly the same rhythm as cardiopulmonary resuscitation. She hummed the song silently in her heart, pressed Goudan's chest hard with both hands, and after pressing for a while, she performed artificial respiration on Goudan.
This happened several times before Goudan spat out a large mouthful of water with a "wow" and gradually resumed breathing.
Cheng Mingyue herself was so tired that she fell to the side, gasping for breath.
When Cheng Mingyue rushed forward just now, she scared the people in the village chief's family half to death, and they felt that this was somewhat inappropriate.
It’s a good thing that the person was saved. If something really went wrong, his Yue’er might be blackmailed.
Thinking of the incident when Cheng Mingyue saved Xiaohu before, he held on to a glimmer of hope again. After all, human life was at stake, and he was just a five-year-old kid. So he did not stop Cheng Mingyue from saving people, and even helped to stop Goudan's parents.
Now seeing Goudan spit out a mouthful of water and his breathing gradually stabilized, he breathed a sigh of relief and came to Cheng Mingyue to support her.
The villagers had never seen such a scene before. When they saw Cheng Mingyue pressing and kissing them, they were stunned and couldn't even say a word.
Seeing that Goudan came back to life, he immediately came to his senses and shouted loudly.
