Chapter 45: Care
After sending the pennant, Gu Pei originally wanted to chat with Jiang Zhenzhen and Zhou Haihua again, but there were too many onlookers around, and it was inconvenient to speak, so Gu Pei had to say goodbye to Jiang Zhenzhen.
After leaving Jiang Zhenzhen's house, Gu Pei was ready to go back to the army directly, but the team secretary refused to let Gu Pei leave, and had to invite Gu Pei to have a meal in the village.
Gu Pei said seriously: "Our people's soldiers don't take a single point from the masses, uncle, you are leading me to make mistakes!" β
The team secretary's smile instantly stiffened.
Gu Pei laughed twice and said, "Just kidding, just kidding." He paused, and this time he replied seriously to the secretary of the brigade, "Uncle, I have received your kindness, but I have already had lunch, and there are still things waiting for me in the army, so I have to go back quickly." β
"Oooh." The secretary of the brigade breathed a sigh of relief and scolded in his heart, where is this like a joke?! "Then I won't keep youβI'll take you to the entrance of the village."
Although there was only a short distance from Jiang Zhenzhen's house to the entrance of the village, the secretary of the brigade insisted on sending it, and Gu Pei could only be sent by him.
On the way, in order to avoid embarrassment, Gu Pei chatted with the team secretary, they had nothing in common, they could only talk about Jiang Zhenzhen's family.
The secretary of the brigade sighed and said: "Don't look at Jiang Zhenzhen's house, the house is built very well, and the yard is cleaned up well, in fact, her father and her brother are gone, and her mother is not a good person, a family can only rely on Jiang Zhenzhen's little girl to support, and life is still very difficult." β
"But the little girl is very filial, and recently something happened to her grandmother's house, and she urgently needed money, so she took all her brother's pension to solve the problem."
The team secretary still has a bit of emotional intelligence, he knows what to say and what not to say, and he really doesn't have the face to say the ugly things of the Jiang family, so he can only be so vague.
Gu Pei sighed, when he knew that Jiang Zhenzhen's father and brother had died, he guessed that her family should be in a difficult situation, and the words of the team secretary only confirmed his guess.
"Uncle, I know I may be presumptuous in making this request." Gu Pei said solemnly, "But I hope you can take more care of Jiang Zhenzhen's family in the future, is that okay?" β
If he could, he actually wanted to take care of Jiang Zhenzhen personally, but, no, Jiang Zhenzhen was already engaged, and from then on, he and Jiang Zhenzhen could only become strangers.
"Don't worry." The team secretary laughed and said, "Zhenzhen, she is a member of our Jiang family's brigade, and I, as the secretary of the brigade, will definitely pay more attention to Jiang Zhenzhen's family." And I promise that Jiang Zhenzhen and her family will never be bullied in the future. β
He paused and continued, "But don't worry, Zhenzhen, she already has a good home. He has a fiancΓ© who is now studying at the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, and will graduate this year. When the job is assigned, she will marry Jiang Zhenzhen, and after Jiang Zhenzhen, she will be a person in the city, and she will be able to live a good life eating commercial grain. "When it comes to commercial grain, even the secretary of the brigade can't help but feel envious.
Gu Peigan laughed twice, he glanced back in the direction where Jiang Zhenzhen's house was located, and said with a sigh: "Yes, she will be able to live a good life in the future." β
After Gu Pei and the team secretary and captain left, those who watched the excitement in Jiang Zhenzhen's house were reluctant to leave.
They surrounded Jiang Zhenzhen in the center one by one, and asked her gossipingly: "Zhenzhen, what is the rank of that officer, I think our captain and team secretary seem to attach special importance to him?" "Zhenzhen, how old is that officer this year, is he married?" If not, I can introduce him to one! "Zhenzhen, the tide was so dangerous at that time, how did you save two people at once?" "Were you sure you could have rescued both of them when you went to sea?"
These people not only "besieged" Jiang Zhenzhen, but even Zhou Haihua did not let go, and praised her one by one: "Haihua, you really gave birth to a good daughter." "Although Xinghua is gone, with such a daughter, I will not worry about the rest of my life." "It's a pity that your daughter got engaged early, the grace of saving her life, maybe she can still achieve a marriage?"
Finally sent the group away, Jiang Zhenzhen and Zhou Haihua sat down on their chairs, extremely tired.
After resting for a while, Jiang Zhenzhen got up and went to pour water, she took two bowls and poured them for herself and Zhou Haihua.
She picked up the bowl and drank the water, and let out a long sigh of relief. Say, "I'm dying of thirst, I've never said so much in my life!" β
When Zhou Haihua came over to serve a bowl of water, she heard Jiang Zhenzhen's words, slapped her on the back, and said to her: "Don't talk nonsense, you still have it in your life." β
Jiang Zhenzhen laughed twice, a bowl of water did not quench her thirst, she poured another bowl for herself.
Although Gu Pei's behavior of sending the pennant was very ostentatious and very inconsistent with Jiang Zhenzhen's always low-key code of conduct, she had to admit that Gu Pei's appearance really helped her solve a big problem.
She was worried before, what if Jiang Fugui really splashed all the dirty water on herself, although there was no evidence, he was her grandfather after all, and his identity was naturally credible. At that time, the village will definitely be full of gossip, to be honest, Jiang Zhenzhen doesn't want to be the heroine of gossip.
Now Gu Pei is doing this, and he just helped her solve this trouble. Jiang Zhenzhen looked at the ripples of water in the bowl, and the corners of her lips slightly hooked a curvature, Jiang Fugui should have heard about it now, right? I wonder what he'll do next?
With a "bang", a bowl was thrown to the ground, and it was split in an instant.
After the messenger left, Jiang Fugui's face darkened suddenly.
He never expected that Jiang Zhenzhen actually had the ability to ask the officer to send her a pennant, and looking at the posture of the brigade secretary and the captain of the brigade at the same time to lead the way for this officer, this officer must not be an ordinary person. With this pennant here, don't say that he has no evidence, even if he finds evidence, maybe the team secretary and the team leader will stand on Jiang Zhenzhen's side.
"Dad, are we going to the brigade headquarters in the afternoon?" Qian Baoping asked cautiously.
Jiang Fugui had a dark face and said angrily: "Where are you going?" You have to go yourself. Solve the problems you caused yourself! With that, he turned back into the house and slammed the door shut.
