"Stop crying. How can you cry in front of so many guests? Are you going to let others eat their meal properly?" Yang Hong said unhappily.
"What period is it now? We don't have much food left in our village. How can Xiaojing be okay in the city? Xiaojing is such a poor child. She had a hard time getting into university, but she encountered something like this before she could even enjoy a single day of happiness." After saying this, Li Xiuqin simply burst into tears.
"Enough! Are you done yet? What problem can you solve by crying here? Xiaojing is a student of a prestigious university, the government will not ignore her! Every city has a granary, and she needs food!" Yang Hong said impatiently. At this moment, he was a little upset by what his wife had done.
After hearing Yang Hong's remarks, Xu Ling and the other two remained silent. Wasn't Haidu University, where they were studying, also a famous university? But they were not treated specially. Even Professor Liu Yuan, who lived in the same building with them, had to risk his life to go out and look for supplies in order to survive.
A while ago, when they went out to look for food, they also went to Haidu University. When they think of the miserable conditions of the students trapped in the school, their scalps still tingle.
However, in order not to upset the two elderly people, Xu Ling and the other two did not say a word. They just silently mourned for a minute for the girl named Xiaojing in their hearts.
"Why don't you tell us about your granddaughter!" In order to calm the two elderly people, Li Mu changed the subject.
If any man wanted to inquire about his granddaughter before the snowstorm, Yang Hong would have broken his legs. However, in the current environment, with their granddaughter trapped in another place, things were completely different. Hearing that Li Mu wanted to hear about their granddaughter, Yang Hong immediately became interested. After all, their granddaughter was the pride of them all. Now that he was drunk, he couldn't help but want to find someone to brag to.
After Yang Hong's narration and Li Xiuqin's supplementation, Li Mu also learned about their family's past.
It turned out that their son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident more than ten years ago, leaving behind only a young granddaughter, Yang Jing. The old couple doted on this granddaughter who lost her parents at a young age. Yang Jing was also very sensible. She had always been the child of other people's families in the eyes of her parents. Not only did she study well and never compared herself with others, but she also often helped with housework and farm work at home.
Yang Jing had never complained about why she had nothing from her parents. For this, the old couple felt even more sorry for their granddaughter. In order to ensure that their granddaughter had enough tuition fees to study in the future, when most people in the village had built two-story houses, Yang Hong, as the head of the village, was reluctant to spend a penny to repair the shabby bungalow they lived in now. He only gave his granddaughter's room a simple decoration.
People in the village often joked about this, "Xiao Jing has such good grades, she can get a full scholarship no matter where she goes to school. Not only does it not cost any money, she can also earn money! Are you saving so much money because you want to have a live-in grandson-in-law in the future? But I'm afraid that the live-in grandson-in-law will be scared away when he sees your living conditions?" The old couple Yang Hong just smiled at this.
And Yang Jing did not disappoint the old couple. Last year, she was admitted to Miancheng University as the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Jiangnan Province. This emerging institution of higher learning has become a world-renowned top university only two years after its establishment. Given a little more time, it will surely become the first and leave the second place far behind.
Hearing that Yang Jing was a student of Miancheng University, Xu Ling and the other two were a little surprised. They didn't expect that this small mountain village could produce a student of Miancheng University! At the same time, they were a little envious of Yang Jing. Isn't Miancheng University a holy place in their hearts?
"If it's Miancheng University, Yang Jing should be safe now." Li Mu said.
"Really? That's the school run by Jishige. With Jishige's ability, can they let our Jing'er starve?" Yang Hong echoed.
"Little brother, why do you think Miancheng University is safe?" Li Xiuqin asked. She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart until she got a clear answer.
"Brother Li Mu is from Miancheng. No one knows Miancheng University better than him. Moreover, Brother Li Mu is a big shot in Miancheng!" Xu Ling said mysteriously.
"Really? That's great!" Li Xiuqin said happily.
Li Mu nodded. The president of Miancheng University was his old classmate Feng Xiaoxiao. He knew Feng Xiaoxiao's character and knew that she would definitely not give up on her students at this time. Moreover, the snowstorm had occurred less than four months ago. With the ability of Jishige, they should be able to stabilize the situation in Miancheng.
"Haha, actually, when we go to Northern Xinjiang this time, we will also go back to Miancheng. I can bring a message to you then. Although I can't let you know Yang Jing's current situation, at least I can let her know that you are safe now and let her rest assured. If she has any difficulties, I can also do my best to help her solve them." Li Mu said with a smile.
"Thank you very much!" The old couple was overjoyed. They had no doubt that Li Mu, who owned a flying car, was a big shot. It was not a big problem for him to bring a message to their granddaughter or even to help her.
However, Yang Hong was still a little uneasy in his heart despite being excited. After all, they were not familiar with Li Mu. Today was only the first day they met Li Mu, and he was going to do them such a big favor. He was afraid that Li Mu was just saying it casually, so he said, "But my friend, is this too much trouble for you? Besides, we have nothing to repay you with. How about I give you money? Although we old couple haven't saved much over the years, you may not think highly of it, but this is the only thing we can do."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "No need. Meeting is fate. This is just a piece of cake for me."
Money is like waste paper to Li Mu. Moreover, in this end times, the money that people pursue in daily life is too hard to even use to wipe one's butt.
Seeing that Li Mu didn't seem to be perfunctory, the old couple couldn't help but think in their hearts: "Good man! This guy is really a good person!"
The atmosphere was harmonious afterwards. After this episode, Yang Hong had completely let down his guard against Li Mu, and soon they were able to talk about anything.
"Brother Li Mu, I have always had a question. How much wine do you have in your arms and how did you put it down?" Yang Hong asked curiously as he saw Li Mu had already taken out three or four bottles of wine from his arms.
"Haha, old village chief, you have your secrets and I have mine." Li Mu said with a smile.
Yang Hong's face changed when he heard that. Thinking of his perfunctory answer to Xu Ling's question about clearing snow in their village, he immediately shut his mouth. Li Mu's secret belonged to Li Mu, but his secret belonged to the entire Yangjia Village. Even if he trusted Li Mu, he would not tell that matter at the expense of the interests of the entire village.
