Chapter Seventy-Nine: What Is Promised Must Be Done
"Cheng, when I turn around, I'll go find you!" said the old man patting his thigh.
"Grandma, don't worry, you won't lose anything, we'll help you find it together. Shen Xiaofu was also comforting beside her.
Another material was sent over, Shen Xiaofu went over to help, and originally wanted to move the goods with everyone, but Xu Guangyi stopped him, so he could only count them with Wei Yu.
Shen Xiaofu ordered the goods, Wei Yu was responsible for making records, this time it was still food and drinking water, as well as cotton clothes and bedding donated by well-wishers, and the inventory was completed after a while.
asked Shen Xiaofu to sign her name on the bill of materials, Wei Yu squeezed her eyes at Shen Xiaofu: "I really envy you, my fiancΓ© is sticking to you." β
"We don't have a relationship anymore. Shen Xiaofu replied, very reluctant to be involved with Xu Guangyi.
"Everyone can see that you and Xu are always a natural pair, I think, if there is no principled problem, such a good object, it is better to keep it well, and you can't cheap others!" Wei Yu said with a grin.
Shen Xiaofu sighed in her heart, it was precisely because of the problem of principle that she had to stay away from Xu Guangyi.
"Pingshan Village was seriously affected this time, several houses collapsed, I heard from everyone that Mr. Xu has reached an intention with the local government to fully support the reconstruction of Pingshan Village. Wei Yu looked not far away.
Shen Xiaofu inadvertently followed Wei Yu's gaze, Xu Guangyi was standing on the third floor of the school building with several local cadres, as if they were discussing something, Xu Guangyi stood firmly in the C position, and it seemed that he really stood out from the crowd.
Shen Xiaofu quickly retracted her gaze, and was about to ask Wei Yu if there was anything else she needed to do, when she suddenly heard someone shouting not far away: "Old woman, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Xiaofu turned her head and found that the old grandmother, who had been sitting on the box, suddenly leaned on the old man's shoulder, as if she had fainted, and several doctors heard the movement and had already run over.
"What's wrong?" Wei Yu muttered, followed Shen Xiaofu, and rushed over.
A few minutes later, the old grandmother was sent to the tent for first aid, and the old grandfather was persuaded by the nurse to come out, standing outside the tent with an anxious face, stamping his feet in a hurry.
Shen Xiaofu stepped forward to comfort the old man and said, "Don't worry, let's wait next to it, okay?"
As soon as Shen Xiaofu finished speaking, a doctor came out of the tent, walked up to the old man and said, "The patient had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and he had already done first aid just now, and now he must be sent down the mountain immediately. β
The old man stayed for a long time and stammered, "Is this what she ...... Not really?"
"Don't worry, we'll do our best to save you, the car will come soon, you can go to the hospital with us!" said the doctor, turning and entering the tent.
"The ......" the old man seemed to have something to say, but the doctor didn't hear it.
Shen Xiaofu knew that the cerebral hemorrhage was very serious, but at this time, she couldn't scare the old man, so she said: "The old grandmother will definitely survive, the doctor is next to her, don't worry!"
The old man looked a little sluggish, and after a long time, he muttered: "She was fine in the morning, and said that when the Chinese New Year is approaching, let's kill a few chickens and ducks, and when the children come back, bring them to them, how can the old woman ...... She also complained that she had followed me for so many years and only got me a bracelet......"
As he spoke, the old man turned around sharply and was about to walk out of the school.
"Grandpa, where are you going?" Shen Xiaofu hurriedly caught up: "Grandma will be sent to the hospital below soon, and I still need you to accompany me!"
"Let them wait for me for a while, I will go and bring the bracelet over, when the two of us also took the bracelet to the mountain, to ask the master to open the light, will definitely bless my wife and son to come well." The old man said tremblingly, and walked out quickly.
Wei Yu also followed, shouting loudly: "Old man, don't go back to the village, hurry up and send the old grandmother to the hospital." β
"I've got to get the bracelet, I've got to get it. The old man kept talking, and after a while, he had already walked to the school gate.
Shen Xiaofu was helpless, stepped forward and grabbed the old man and said, "Grandpa, at this time, my mother-in-law must want you to be by my side, can you go, don't you want to take the bracelet, I'll help you get it now, okay?"
The old man turned his head and looked at Shen Xiaofu suspiciously.
Shen Xiaofu coaxed the old man: "What kind of bracelet, can you tell me, I will definitely help you get it, so that there will be no delay on both sides, right?"
After hesitating for a moment, the old man seemed to have decided to believe Shen Xiaofu: "It's a silver bracelet, carved with peonies, and tied with red rope, wrapped in red cloth, and placed under the pillow. β
"Okay, that's it, you go back to accompany your mother-in-law, and I'll help you find it." Shen Xiaofu didn't say a word, and ran towards the west end of the village, since she promised the old man, she must find the bracelet today.
"Xiaofu, it's not that the old man's house has collapsed. Wei Yu ran after Shen Xiaofu for a while, and grabbed Shen Xiaofu: "And this will go...... It's dangerous, go back!"
Shen Xiaofu stood up suddenly, and reacted, the house over there seemed to have just been smashed by a stone, and now it was over......
"Where are you going?" Xu Guangyi ran over from behind.
"Xiaofu is going to the west of the village, the old grandmother is sick and wants to be sent to the mountain, the old grandfather wants to send her the old grandmother's bracelet, and then Xiaofu says that he will help him get it. Wei Yu explained a little incoherently beside him.
"The house...... Can you go over?" Xu Guangyi furrowed his brows and asked Shen Xiaofu reproachfully.
Shen Xiaofu was a little hesitant in the end, but after thinking about it for a long time, she still said: "No, I promised others, I must do it." β
As she spoke, Shen Xiaofu had already turned her head and walked to the west.
"There are some promises that are impossible to fulfill, so don't make a wish!" Xu Guangyi shouted behind Shen Xiaofu.
Shen Xiaofu didn't reply: "I only know that if you promise others, you must do it." β
Almost without hesitation, Shen Xiaofu walked towards the west.
A few minutes later, a car stopped next to Shen Xiaofu, Xu Guangyi opened the window and said to her: "I obey you, get in the car quickly, the old grandmother has been sent down, isn't she looking for a bracelet, walking delays time, there is a car faster, and then I will look for it together!"
After only hesitating for a while, Shen Xiaofu walked to the other end of the car, opened the door and got in.
Xu Guangyi quickly started the car, drove for a while, and said: "Why did I never find out, you are so stubborn?"
Shen Xiaofu didn't answer, she didn't know why she became so stubborn, it seemed that from childhood to adulthood, in front of everyone, she was obedient and well-behaved, and she didn't even have any thoughts of her own at all.
It seems that overnight, Shen Xiaofu has become different from before.
"That ......" Xu Guangyi actually explained: "I don't mean anything else, in fact, you are not bad like this, you have a lot of personality, everyone has a time to grow up, you just need to be happy." β
Shen Xiaofu ignored Xu Guangyi, thinking about the old couple in her heart, and even felt that the old man might have thought correctly, and when the old grandmother got the bracelet, maybe she would have the courage to persevere.
"When you get there, you just wait in the car, and I'll go in and look for it. Xu Guangyi said again.
"No, this is a promise to others, and it has nothing to do with you. Shen Xiaofu immediately replied.
Xu Guangyi snorted: "You are my wife, you promise others, that is, I promise." β
When she arrived at the west end of the village, Shen Xiaofu got out of the car despite Xu Guangyi's obstruction.
Shen Xiaofu stood on the ridge and looked at the Wang's cottage from a distance, and the house stood quietly not far away, as if nothing had happened.
"Let's go!" Xu Guangyi, who was originally lagging behind, walked in front of Shen Xiaofu at this time.
When he arrived at the door of Wang's house, Xu Guangyi turned around and said to Shen Xiaofu: "Wait for me here, I'll find out the things." β
Shen Xiaofu didn't speak, but bypassed Xu Guangyi and prepared to enter the house.
"It's not for you not to go in," Xu Guangyi was anxious, and grabbed Shen Xiaofu's arm: "Can't you be obedient?"
"I'm fine, I need to find the bracelet quickly, you don't know where the thing is. Shen Xiaofu shook off Xu Guangyi and entered the house.
There was no problem with this house from the outside, and when she entered the inside, Shen Xiaofu couldn't help but be taken aback, a big hole was smashed out of the roof, and the light that came in from the top of her head actually illuminated the originally dim room surprisingly brightly.
Shen Xiaofu had been here before, and remembered the location of the bed, at this time, at the east end of the house, a bed had collapsed, and it was full of earth and stones.
Anxious to find the bracelet, Shen Xiaofu didn't care about anything else, walked towards the head of the bed, and reached out to pick up the soil and stones on the bed.
"It's dangerous here. Xu Guangyi stretched out his hands and hugged Shen Xiaofu to the side.
"Don't stand in my way!" Shen Xiaofu was stopped when she started working, so she was naturally a little unhappy.
The two were arguing, when they suddenly heard a "bang", and after a while, another piece collapsed in the center of the house, falling a piece of dust, with gravel in the middle, and one of them directly strained Shen Xiaofu's head.
Shen Xiaofu screamed "ah" and touched the place where she was hit with the back of her hand.
"Get out immediately, I'll find you a bracelet!" Xu Guangyi almost reprimanded, but reached out and gently rubbed it on the top of Shen Xiaofu's head.
Shen Xiaofu flashed her head to the side, then looked at the roof, and felt that there was no big problem.
Bending down, Shen Xiaofu began to grope with her bare hands again, but after all, her palm was injured, Shen Xiaofu moved a little slowly, Xu Guangyi kept staring at the top of his head at the beginning, it seemed that he was guarding against something to be smashed down, and then saw that Shen Xiaofu didn't find anything for a long time, so he was impatient to wait, and came over and said: "You are too slow, I'll look for it, you look at the roof, see that something is wrong, and run out immediately!"
