The captain asked her to enter the room to talk, and finally agreed to Qiu Xiaochan's proposal, and asked someone to invite Gu Wenqian. Li Chunhua, as another party involved, was called into the room by the captain for "teaching".
"Chunhua, I remember that you are the same age as Sun Wu. You are thirty-six this year. Why do you have trouble with a little girl at such an age? You are ten years older than Xiaochan. If you married early, you would have given birth to her. I haven't heard of any trouble between you either."
Li Chunhua didn't speak, because she underestimated Qiu Xiaochan, she didn't expect this girl to really dare to complain to the captain, and regretted not stopping her halfway.
The villagers watching the excitement outside the house raised their voices, "Captain, Li Chunhua's cousin Li San wanted to marry Xiaochan, but Xiaochan didn't agree. I guess it's because of this incident that made her bear a grudge."
The captain turned his head and asked Li Chunhua, "Is that so? Just because of this, you demoted people to nothing?"
The captain's daughter-in-law brought a tea bowl to pour water for everyone, Qiu Xiaochan took it to thank her, the captain's wife looked at her several times in surprise, and finally boasted with a smile, "The girl has changed eighteen years, Xiaochan is getting more beautiful the longer she grows, I didn’t see you going out very much before, but recently you’ve become more cheerful, so young people should come out and walk around more often, since you live in a village, if you have any difficulties, everyone will definitely be willing to help you.”
Qiu Xiaochan understands what the captain’s daughter-in-law said, that is, if there is a grievance, it is necessary to speak out, and the relationship between people is born. Snow in front of the door, who would do thankless things
The original owner was too introverted before, but if he is more powerful, he will not fall to that point. In the final analysis, "character determines destiny".
Gu Wenqian arrived soon. He had already heard what happened on the way here. He knew that it was Qiu Xiaochan who was criticized in person, so he asked himself to prove his "innocence". This reminded him of the time when his family was wronged and raped. The days of indisputable.
After entering the door, Gu Wenqian's eyes first fell on Qiu Xiaochan, and he was relieved to see her face was pink and calm.
As for Qiu Xiaochan, since Gu Wenqian's appearance, she has started acting mode, playing a strong and kind, but at the same time shy rural girl. Customized.
"Captain, are you looking for me?"
"Comrade Gu, you're here. That's it. A few days ago, you rescued Xiaochan from falling into the water. It was a good thing, but some people passed on and things changed. Today, it's Xiaochan's intention to invite you here."
After speaking, the captain looked at Qiu Xiaochan, motioning for her to speak, and Gu Wenqian also looked over.
Qiu Xiaochan stood up, with a slight apology on her face, and said, "Comrade Gu, I am very sorry to trouble you to come here. Last time you saved me, I haven't come to thank you solemnly, and I have caused you trouble again today."
Gu Wenqian said it's okay.
"I heard a few gossips today. If you only talk about me, it's fine, but you are involved. I can't let your kindness be slandered for nothing, so I have to confess in front of the captain and in front of everyone. Comrade Gu and I I have never known each other before, the last time I fell into the water was the first contact, there is nothing to do with random speculation, please be more kind in the future, and less talk about people and things."
Her words were quite level, subverting everyone's stereotype of her. In the past, she was thought to be a silly girl with a soft temper, but she did not expect her to speak in such an orderly and clumsy manner.
Originally, after Qiu Xiaochan finished speaking, it was time for Gu Wenqian or the captain to make a statement, but Li Chunhua once again launched a divine assist.
"Just believe what you say! The eyes of the crowd are discerning. Everyone saw him kissing your mouth. Is it okay to kiss blindly?"
People watching the excitement outside the house also expressed their opinions in whispers, some supported Qiu Xiaochan, some supported Li Chunhua, Gu Wenqian was about to explain, but Qiu Xiaochan spoke first.
"Comrade Gu didn't kiss me. He just gave me a few breaths through his hands. That was a way to save my life. You have a dirty mind to think about it."
If what Qiu Xiaochan said before just surprised Gu Wenqian, then these words were completely amazing. Unexpectedly, in this closed village, when everyone mistakenly thought that he deliberately took advantage of the lesbians, Qiu Xiaochan Xiaochan can maintain her independent thinking and sees that "artificial respiration" is the way to save people.
Even though Qiu Xiaochan explained, Gu Wenqian did not choose to remain silent, and still explained his behavior, "Comrade Qiu is right, this is called 'cardiopulmonary resuscitation', and it is specially used to save people. I’m not thorough enough, and I’m here to apologize to Comrade Qiu.”
Gu Wenqian undoubtedly changed the concept secretly, but artificial respiration is indeed a key part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He avoids the important and ignores the minor because he does not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Gu Wenqian's responsibility made Qiu Xiaochan's favorability towards him rise two steps in an instant. She responded, "Comrade Gu is serious, we are all right, it's just that everyone's thinking is wrong."
Li Chunhua was still unconvinced, "Even if you have nothing before, it is true that you want to marry Comrade Gu. Aunt He went to your house first, and then went to Comrade Gu. It was spread all over the village, but it was Comrade Gu I didn't like you, you have to admit it."
Seeing that she was still talking, the captain couldn't help talking about Qiu Xiaochan's personal affairs. He was very tired of this kind of character of biting people with his mouth open, and insisted on biting people's blood. Light up the smoke rod to relieve anxiety.
Qiu Xiaochan blushed after hearing this "accusation", and bit her lip in embarrassment. Gu Wenqian glanced at her, sighed inwardly and frowned, "It's nothing, it was just that Comrade Qiu asked someone to give it to me out of gratitude that day. A few cakes, these pretentious things are very harmful to Comrade Qiu, I hope everyone will stop spreading them."
After hearing what he said, Qiu Xiaochan looked over gratefully, the eyes of the two met in the air, and then moved away from each other.
The captain coughed lightly and took over the conversation, "Alright, now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, everyone should stop talking about these things in the future. Li Chunhua, you have to apologize to Xiao Chan and Comrade Gu."
Li Chunhua turned his body sideways and stuck his neck, his whole body was full of refusal, Qiu Xiaochan saw that she didn't feel guilty at all, and was not going to let her go so easily, and directly said the previous agreement.
"Captain, we made an agreement before we came. If it can be proved that she wronged me, she must apologize to me in front of the entire production team. If she doesn't say it, then she will admit that she is a villain who broke her promise. "
Li Chunhua was so angry that he rushed over to beat him, but was held tightly by the captain's wife.
"Chunhua, you can just apologize. You are at fault for this matter. You can't bully Xiaochan just because she is young."
Li Chunhua snorted and said with a smile, "I just said a few words to bully her? I didn't say those words alone. There are many people in the team who said those words. Why don't you call them one by one? Because my mother's family is a foreigner. The villagers will unite to bully me."
Her upside-down appearance is really not good-looking, and no one in the room was angry when she heard it, but if she intentionally committed a crime, others would have nothing to do with her. In the end, Li Chunhua didn't say anything to express his apology, and he made a fool of himself. Leaving with a gray face, other spectators also left one after another, only Qiu Xiaochan and Gu Wenqian stayed until the end.
After such a fuss, I would definitely not be able to go to the town today, so Qiu Xiaochan handed the small half basket of eggs that she planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for money to the captain's wife, and said with a smile, "Auntie, thank you for helping me with the matter today. To be fair, this is an egg laid by your own hen, so you can keep it if you don't mind it."
Eggs are a rarity in the countryside. They are the best food for visiting relatives and friends. If they can be used as currency, there are at least 20 eggs in the small half basket.
The captain's daughter-in-law is not the kind who is open to money, how can she want such a valuable thing, she quickly refused, "I can't accept this, what we are telling the truth today, and it didn't help much, you and your mother It’s not easy to live alone, so take it home and eat it yourself.”
These eggs are wiped clean even the eggshells, they must be cherished for a long time, everyone in the Qiu family knows that the mother and daughter can't earn much work points in two years, and it is difficult to feed their stomachs. What about the captain's wife? I know that this egg was exchanged by Qiu Xiaochan with points.
Gu Wenqian subconsciously paid attention to Qiu Xiaochan's movements when talking to the captain. If the previous impression of her was based on the scattered words of the villagers, then today he has a new understanding of her, and found that she is actually a very smart person. The girl who is also very courageous is just good at "hiding clumsiness".
The captain’s daughter-in-law refused to accept anything, so Qiu Xiaochan had no choice but to leave with the bamboo basket on her back. She walked forward, and Gu Wenqian also bid farewell to the captain. It's rumored, but they are indeed a good match, unfortunately, there is a problem with one reputation and one composition, it must be difficult to really get together."
The captain tapped and lit the cigarette stick and said, "You don't care about other people's affairs, if you are good, don't learn from some gossips."
After finishing speaking, he walked out of the house, leaving the captain's wife angry.
"Who is it? I'll become a tongue-in-cheek with just one word."
She sighed, put away the teacup on the table and carried it to the well to clean it.
Gu Wenqian's steps were bigger than Qiu Xiaochan's, and he caught up within a few steps. The two walked together for a while without speaking. Qiu Xiaochan was waiting for the opportunity to speak, but Gu Wenqian didn't know what to say.
After walking for a few minutes, the two spoke at the same time.
"you… "
"you… "
Qiu Xiaochan smiled, "Comrade Gu, you go ahead."
"You did a good job today. Sometimes being too kind is a kind of harm to yourself. The more kind you are, the greater the harm."
Qiu Xiaochan nodded, "Okay, I understand, thank you for your concern, in the future I will be brave enough to protect myself and the people I care about, and not let others bully me."
Her smile was bright, Gu Wenqian looked away and nodded in approval of her words.
He thought of Mrs. He's proposal last time, guessing that she should know, and felt somewhat uncomfortable, but his refusal at that time was based on his own problems, and had nothing to do with Qiu Xiaochan. In fact, she is a good girl, and she deserves to meet a good man and take good care of her.
The two walked together for a few minutes, and parted at the fork in the road. Qiu Xiaochan went home with a bamboo basket on her back. Before she reached the door, the confrontation between her and Li Chunhua had spread throughout the brigade.
