Aunt Huang's recovery after the operation was pretty good. It took a hundred days for her muscles and bones to break. The doctor said that she should have a good rest after returning home. Originally, the doctor also recommended staying in the hospital for a few more days, but the old couple was worried about money and could not say anything. Don't want to live any longer.
Aunt Huang even wanted to get down to the ground to prove that her legs were fine, but Liu Zhi stopped her. She couldn't laugh or cry, "Okay, okay, we can't stand it any longer. Auntie, just have a good rest."
Liu Zhi and Old Uncle Huang discussed that they would stay in the hospital for another day tonight, and he would go back to the team early tomorrow morning to pull the ox cart, and Liu Zhi would help pack things.
Old Uncle Huang didn't know what to say to express his gratitude. He nodded calmly and regarded Liu Zhi as his backbone. He agreed to everything Liu Zhi said.
The injured person next door is almost in good condition. She was in a car accident, suffered a broken wrist and a concussion. Although the doctor had long said she could be discharged, she just refused to leave.
Now he was wondering about something. He looked at his colleague who was sitting beside his bed but was already distracted, "Xiaomi, our relationship is not as good as this, right? Why do you come to see me every day?"
Xiaomi smiled mysteriously, "I seem to have found a good topic."
Wounded:? ? ? Co-author, you see, I am fake, but coming to the hospital to collect materials is real! That's too much!
Xiaomi and his colleagues are both reporters at the newspaper. Recently, the editor-in-chief opened a new section, asking each reporter to regularly select some good people and good deeds to report. The more touching the better, and the more they can promote the fine style of hardship and simplicity, the better.
So, after Xiaomi overheard the conversation between Liu Zhi and Old Uncle Huang, she had an idea in her mind. When she heard them say they were leaving tomorrow, Xiaomi panicked.
"Hello, comrade, I am a reporter from Linan Evening News. You can just call me Xiaomi. When I was visiting my colleagues these days, I overheard your conversation. I think your story is very touching. Do you mind if I do an interview with you?" Xiaomi took out his press card from his bag. It was a small wrinkled certificate with a photo on it. The words on the certificate were all handwritten. Very historical.
It's a senior! Liu Zhi thought with a smile. She really wanted to take a photo of this certificate so that she could tell her former colleagues that this was what the previous press cards looked like.
"Okay, I'm happy to, thank you, comrade!" Liu Zhi said with a smile.
Xiaomi was surprised. Most people don't know much about "interviews" and will subconsciously show some rejection or resistance. It often requires him to explain again before he can feel relieved. He didn't expect this lesbian to agree so readily.
It’s really reassuring, and Xiaomi feels more confident about the upcoming interview.
In the following interview, Xiaomi was even more surprised to find that the lesbian in front of her dressed as a rural woman was quite organized when answering questions. She could also automatically lead to the next question according to the logic of his questioning, and even found the answer. He has no complete parts to add to and improve.
What kind of talent is this?
Xiaomi looked at the injured colleagues with disgust. After working for several years, none of the interviewees were professional.
At the end of the interview, Xiaomi was about to say that she wanted to take a photo in front of the collapsed house of Old Uncle Huang’s house, and then take photos after it was repaired. Liu Zhi had already taken the initiative and said, “Comrade reporter, if you want to take photos, you can take a CMB to Ningshui Brigade first. , maybe you can get more useful information by talking to our captain.”
Xiaomi was so surprised that her eyes almost popped out. She once again glared at the unsatisfactory colleague behind her who only pretended to be sick and stayed in the hospital. What a useless thing!
"Comrade Liu Zhi, you are so proficient in the interview process. Have you ever been a reporter before?" Xiaomi finally couldn't restrain her inner doubts and asked.
Liu Zhi was stunned for a while and had to lie, "How is that possible? I am just a rural woman. I have not graduated from junior high school. How can I have that kind of opportunity!"
Xiaomi sighed, "What a pity, our newspaper has academic requirements, otherwise I would definitely recommend you to our editor-in-chief!"
Liu Zhi wanted to laugh, "Senior, thank you!" But there is no need. I want to try more choices in this life. She is tired of the reporter's job!
——
At noon the next day, Uncle Huang drove an ox cart to the hospital. Liu Zhi went through the discharge procedures for Aunt Huang and carried her onto the ox cart with Xiaomi's help.
Liu Zhi stuffed a bag of steamed buns into Old Uncle Huang's hand and told him, "Uncle Huang, you must slow down on the road so as not to shock Auntie."
Uncle Huang nodded, "Okay, I will walk slowly."
"This is Xiaomi reporter. He said he is here to interview us." Liu Zhi introduced Xiaomi to Uncle Huang.
Uncle Huang didn't understand this and waved his hand, "It's up to you to make the decision. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get home late, so I left first."
After explaining everything, Liu Zhi and Xiaomi got on the minibus heading to Ningshui Brigade.
The two were colleagues and expressed their own opinions on various topics along the way. Miraculously, they all had the same views. Xiaomi was very happy, as if she had met her soulmate.
"Comrade Liu Zhi, you are really underestimating your talents by staying in the countryside!" Xiaomi sighed sincerely.
"Hey, what you said is wrong. The countryside is a vast world, and you can accomplish a lot there!" Liu Zhi retorted with a smile.
Xiaomi laughed loudly, "You are right, I am narrow-minded!"
After getting off the car, Xiaomi went straight to the collapsed house of Old Uncle Huang's house and took two photos. Liu Zhi called Captain Zhao over and took this opportunity to chat with Xiaomi about the team's help to Old Uncle Huang's family.
After the material collection was completed, Xiaomi was very happy and said to Liu Zhi excitedly, "Comrade Liu Zhi, tell me when the house is rebuilt, and I will take some more photos then."
Liu Zhi smiled and agreed. Xiaomi originally proposed to leave, but when he learned that he was likely to be in the newspaper, the captain kept him here very enthusiastically and insisted that Xiaomi visit the Ningshui Brigade and have lunch before going back.
The hospitality was hard to refuse, so Xiaomi had to follow the captain for a walk. Because Liu Zhi and Xiaomi were familiar with each other, Zhao Guoliang asked Liu Zhi to follow him.
As a result, the entire production team working in the fields saw Liu Zhi walking with a gentle man wearing glasses, talking and laughing.
None of the seven aunts and eight aunts were not shocked.
"It's good to be good-looking. Liu Zhi has almost become the face of our Ningshui brigade. Whoever comes, she goes."
"No, look at that young man's smile at Liu Zhi... his mouth is too wide!"
"This Liu Zhi is really capable. Several educated youths run home every day, and now they don't let go of intellectuals from outside!"
"If I were her, I wouldn't be able to go out. I'd be out here every day having sex with so many men. I might as well die head-on."
"Hey, sister-in-law of the Yuan family, what you said is a bit too serious! Nowadays, equality between men and women is emphasized, and women can still show their faces in public!" A daughter-in-law spoke for Liu Zhi.
"That's right...if I were as capable as Liu Zhi, I would go out and have more contacts, so as not to have to deal with the land my whole life." Another young daughter-in-law agreed.
As a result, a large group of people went from attacking Liu Zhi at the beginning to becoming deeply envious.
Liu Zhi ignored the gossip, completed the task assigned by the captain, and sent Xiaomi reporter to the car. She hurried to her parents' home.
I haven’t seen Yuan Shanmei for a while, and I still miss her!
Several children went out to play outdoors again, but Liu Zhi had no idea. Except for her sister who was at home boiling water and doing housework, everyone else was working in the fields.
Liu Zhi and Liu He chatted for a while about her pen pal Brother Bing, but Liu He blushed and looked like he didn't want to say more, so Liu Zhi stopped asking.
"Sister, if you get married, will you choose to stay at home and raise your children or continue your studies?" Liu Zhi was very curious about Liu He's choice.
Liu He glanced at Liu Zhi inexplicably, "My ideal is to be a writer. This will not change no matter what changes in my identity!"
Liu Zhi smiled, as expected of her sister, so cool!
In fact, Liu Zhi didn't just pick a topic randomly. She was really worried that Liu He would choose to give up his career for the sake of his family. This must not be a wise choice for such a talented person.
Liu Zhi once had a colleague who joined the TV station as a reporter in the same group as her. Her work ability and performance level were very strong. But the next year, she resigned, saying she wanted to go back to her hometown to marry her boyfriend, even though her colleagues tried to persuade her to stay. Can change her mind.
Later, Liu Zhi learned in the circle of friends that the colleague got married, gave birth to a child, and gave birth to another child two years later. The previous aura was gone, and only accusations about life and spouse were left in the text.
What a pity!
Liu Zhi didn't want Liu He to make such a choice.
Liu Zhi sighed, "Well, when you get married, there will be fewer opportunities for us to meet. You must go home often to see your parents and me!"
Liu He is younger, and this troubled sister who she has watched since childhood seems to have become more mature and sensible. She has experienced ups and downs and has successfully emerged from them.
Liu He didn't know if leaving here with a man far away was a wise choice, but looking at Liu Zhi's energetic appearance seemed to give her a lot of motivation.
"You didn't ask me to prepare well for the college entrance examination. I want to wait until I pass it before getting married." Liu He said with a smile.
Liu Zhi originally thought that her sister didn't believe what she said, but she didn't expect that she really took it to heart. She couldn't help but feel a little moved, "That's right. Have you prepared the essay question I told you? I'll tell you what I said." The dream is really accurate, don’t believe it..."
Seeing his sister chattering noisily, Liu He suddenly laughed, and his laughter became louder and louder.
"He will come home in three days. When the time comes...you remember to come and check on me." Liu He said.
Liu Zhi nodded excitedly, "Of course, I want to see what kind of man can take away the heart and soul of such an outstanding sister like me!"
Before the sun went down, several children finally came back and caught a large bag of cicadas and put them in a cloth bag. The sharp screams of "Cicada, Cicada" made Liu Zhi's ears ring.
Yuan Shanmei carried the bag proudly, with a proud look on her face, "Aunt Liu Zhi, we can have extra food tonight!"
