Chapter 62: My sister-in-law is back
"Zhennan, Zhennan!" There was a knock on the door outside.
Gu Zhennan walked over and saw that it was Xun Qingguo, and called "Xun Team" in a wilted manner.
"What's the matter, my daughter-in-law is gone, and she is feeling uncomfortable?" Xun Qingguo teased.
Gu Zhennan's face darkened, and he didn't open any pot to mention.
"Don't worry, your daughter-in-law has something to do, and she called home to say that it was flooded, so she hurried back." Xun Qingguo said, "She still cares about your family." ”
"Really?" Gu Zhennan couldn't believe it, thinking that Guo Xiang must not have left by himself.
"Really, the call came to the command at noon, and I didn't find you, so I asked your sister-in-law to come and tell Xiao Guo." Xun Qingguo nodded.
"The floods are bad? Then I'll go home right away, Team Xun, I'll take leave! Gu Zhennan said hurriedly.
"That's not going to work!" Xun Qingguo shook his head, "Our targets for this month have not been completed, and the superiors have just issued a new order, 'Fight for a hundred days and seize the fortified battle', what if you leave our team's task?" ”
Gu Zhennan was silent, but what about his mother, younger brothers and sisters at home?
"You are not alone now, you are a member of the country, and you have to focus on the overall situation. Besides, isn't your daughter-in-law coming home? If there is something, she will definitely call, don't worry, let's see! Xun Qingguo said.
Gu Zhennan nodded helplessly, there was no way to walk away.
"Don't worry, although your daughter-in-law is having a temper, I think she has a good character, and she will definitely not leave your family alone, and she may be more useful than you when she goes back." Xun Qingguo said again.
"I've got two hundred dollars here, you take it first." Xun Qingguo took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Gu Zhennan, "I know that your family is in trouble, and you owe a debt when you marry Xiao Guo, and now your family has suffered another disaster, send this back first, and it should be an emergency!" ”
"Xun team ......" Gu Zhennan was very moved.
Xun Guoqing patted Gu Zhennan's shoulder again, and said seriously: "Don't think too much, if people have a fate, they can't stop it, if they don't have a fate, you can't force it." Rest well, the battle will start tomorrow! ”
"Yes, Team Xun!" Gu Zhennan nodded.
After Xun Qingguo left, Gu Zhennan was about to go to eat, but after taking the lunch box, he found that Guo Xiang's meal was still there after half of it, and he didn't bother to fight, so he picked up the half of the box of lunch and ate it.
……
When Guo Xiang returned to the village, he found that it was full of devastation, ruins and broken walls, the mud on the road was half a foot high, and his safety shoes were completely sunk in the mud.
She didn't care so much, so she ran home with a bag of rice.
When I walked to the door, I saw that most of the outer wall had collapsed, leaving only the wooden door standing alone.
My heart is pounding, people can't have accidents, right?
"Mother, Guo'er, I'm back!" Guo Xiang shouted and pushed open the door, "Mother, Guo'er ......"
"It's sister-in-law!" There was a sound of surprise from inside.
A small figure rushed over, rushed halfway, stopped, and looked at Guo Xiang suspiciously, "Are you ...... Sister-in-law? ”
Don't blame her for not recognizing Guo Xiang, it's really that Guo Xiang has changed too much, his hair is cut short, and his clothes are so foreign, just like a different person.
Guo Xiang put down the grain, smiled and opened his hands towards Guo'er, "What's the matter, don't you recognize your sister-in-law?" Come, fruit......"
Only then did Guo'er confirm that she was the sister-in-law she was thinking of, and threw herself into Guo Xiang's arms, her voice choked, "Sister-in-law, you're back, I want to kill you!" ”
Guo Xiang hugged Guo'er, full of joy, "I miss you too." How are you? What about the mother? Are you all right? And what about Zhendong? ”
"We're all fine!" Guo'er shook her head and raised her face, "It's just that everything at home is gone, and I haven't eaten for two days......"
"Sister-in-law, look at ......" Guo Xiang lifted Guo'er's face, which was already small, but now it was even thinner than a palm, and he was distressed to death.
"Xiangxiang, are you back?" At this time, Gu Zhendong helped Wang Guiying out of the room, Wang Guiying's face was yellow and thin, and she coughed twice from time to time.
Seeing that Guo Xiang and the two of them were stunned for a moment, why didn't they look like it?
"Mother......" Guo Xiang hurriedly walked over, "Why are you sick?" ”
"Really, huh?" Wang Guiying looked at Guo Xiang with a surprised face, why did he change so much? Gu Zhendong was also shocked, his sister-in-law is now just like she has come back from a big city, and the eldest brother is really good.
"I'm fine, it's just that I'm soaked in water and got a little cold, it doesn't matter, I'll be fine in two days." Wang Guiying said.
"Sister-in-law!" Gu Zhendong shouted.
Guo Xiang nodded, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay...... Gu Zhendong shook his head, "It's ...... at home"
Guo Xiang looked over, and most of his family's house had collapsed.
Because the exterior walls of the house are adobe and the house is made of wood, the exterior walls are basically collapsed, and only the room in the middle is completely wooden.
The pen is gone, and the chickens and pigs inside are gone.
This is a huge loss for rural people.
Fortunately, I have money now.
"Mother, don't worry, I brought money with me when I came back this time!" Guo Xiang said.
"Where's the money? I borrowed so much ...... last time," Wang Guiying said worriedly.
"It's okay, mother, the money this time ...... It was Zhennan who overfulfilled the task award! Guo Xiang lied, his money is not easy to explain the origin, "In addition, Zhennan also borrowed some money from the oil team, this time we can pay off all the debts we owe......"
"Really?" Wang Guiying's eyes lit up suddenly, and immediately dimmed again, "However, don't you have to pay back the borrowed money?" ”
"Don't worry, mother, Zhennan's bonus this time is 500 yuan, and the rest won't last a few months, don't worry, the future will be better." Guo Xiang said.
"What you say is true? So much? Wang Guiying excitedly took Guo Xiang's hand, "That'...... Let's give the money back first! ”
Guo Xiang's heart shook, she didn't expect that in such a difficult period, Wang Guiying's first thought was to repay the money, what a kind-hearted old man.
Guo Xiang didn't speak, Wang Guiying thought she didn't agree, and said hurriedly: "Everyone suffered serious losses in this flood, the flood came suddenly, and we were told to run quickly before we were ready, so many people are not in a hurry to clean up at home, and the money and food are ......gone."
"Is there no one in the village committee or the town to come to the rescue?" Guo Xiang asked.
"Yes, there are, but there are too many people affected by the disaster, and the relief food can't be shared, and the sweet potatoes that have been distributed in the past two days are still transferred from other places......" Gu Zhendong shook his head and said.
Guo Xiang was silent, the country was indeed very poor during this period, and the transportation and information were not developed in all aspects, so it was understandable that the relief was slow.
"So, everyone is waiting for the rice to go to the pot, if we pay back now, everyone has money to buy food, this is saving everyone's lives!" Wang Guiying said.
Guo Xiang nodded, "Okay, mother, I listen to you!" ”
Needless to say, Guo Xiang will do the same, she has money now, and besides, this is a matter of charcoal in the snow, why not do this favor?
Everyone is grateful, and they will definitely take care of Wang Guiying's mother and son in the future.
"By the way, mother, I also brought some souvenirs back." Guo Xiang took down the bag on his back and beckoned Guo'er again, "I'm hungry, sister-in-law has delicious food here, come on!" ”
Open the bag, it is a specialty of Taiqing, beef jerky, sunflower seed crisp, bighead carp, as well as Northeast characteristics of Ha red sausage, black pork jerky, these can also be eaten when cooking.
"It's so delicious!" Guo'er cried out in surprise.
Guo Xiang first opened a pack of sunflower seed crisp, which is sweet and makes it even more hungry to eat.
Guo'er picked up a piece and ate it, "It's so fragrant, so sweet, mother, you can eat a piece too, it's delicious!" ”
