"Leave? Then you can't leave. You have to stay for a meal before you can leave!"
"Yes, Jiancheng. You have helped our village so much. You must stay here today. At least you have to let Ah Shui and his three uncles and aunts come back to thank you. Otherwise, they will feel uneasy."
Qiangzi and Jiang Chengfa both stopped him, and the mute Ah Shui stood in the middle of the road, refusing to let Tang Jiancheng go.
Tang Jiancheng smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Qiangzi, Brother Chengfa, Ah Shui, I really have to drive back. There are still a lot of children waiting for me to go home! After experiencing this, I feel a little scared. "
"Isn't your wife at home? What are you afraid of?" Qiangzi said.
"My wife is still in confinement and it is inconvenient to go out." Tang Jiancheng said, "Brother Qiangzi, I really have to leave. Otherwise, if I miss the bus, I will have to walk more than sixty miles back!"
"But Ah Shui's uncle and aunt sent the child to the hospital... How about you wait for the village party secretary and see what he says?" Jiang Chengfa saw that he couldn't hold him back, so he pulled out the village party secretary as a shield.
Just as he was talking, the village party secretary came.
"Qiangzi, have you given this young man the fishing net?" asked the village party secretary.
"Take it." Qiangzi replied.
The village party secretary looked at Tang Jiancheng and said with a smile: "Is it enough? If not, I will go to other people's homes in the village and ask."
Tang Jiancheng nodded, "That's enough, that's enough. I can't even use it all."
Qiangzi said: "Party Secretary, Jiancheng is going back. No matter how hard we try to persuade him, it's no use."
The village party secretary said: "It's still early, and it's lunch time soon, so you have to have lunch before leaving, right?"
"I really have to leave. I have to go to the station to catch the two o'clock bus, otherwise I have to walk back, which is more than sixty miles away!" Tang Jiancheng repeated what he had said before.
The village party secretary said: "What bus are you catching? Although our village is not a wealthy village, there are several tractors in the village. When the time comes, I will call one for you and let him take you back directly."
"this……"
Tang Jiancheng did not expect that the village party secretary of this village would be so heroic and sent him off with a tractor.
"Okay, that's it."
The village party secretary then looked at the mute Ah Shui and said, "Ah Shui, please quickly ask your mother and your second aunt to go to your third aunt's house to get lunch. If there is no food, ask them to come to my house to get it. Just say it's me. Said."
"Abba!"
Ah Shui turned around and left.
"Wait a moment."
Tang Jiancheng shouted quickly. They thought Tang Jiancheng was going to refuse. Just when they were about to continue persuading, they saw Tang Jiancheng taking off the sparrows and turtledoves hanging on his body and handing them to Ah Shui, "Ah Shui, take this Let’s fry it.”
Ah Shui hesitated for a moment, then the village party secretary said: "Take it, it's a plate of meat and vegetables!"
Ah Shui took the sparrow and turtle dove and left.
The village party secretary asked Tang Jiancheng to chat about family affairs, asking whether they were married, whether the land was divided, how much land was divided, and how many people were in the family.
When they learned that Tang Jiancheng had only nine daughters but no son, the village party secretary, Jiang Chengfa and Qiangzi couldn't help but change their expressions, with a flash of sympathy and pity on their faces, and the scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
After all, the village party secretary was older, and he laughed and said: "It's good to have a daughter, but a son is very troublesome!"
Then he forcibly changed the topic and talked about fishing techniques and precautions.
About an hour later, Ah Shui's uncle and aunt came back holding the little boy.
The little boy was indeed given medicine, but fortunately, the dose was not large. He woke up after taking some awakening medicine at the hospital without any sequelae.
Because the little boy had been in a coma, he had no memory of the previous horrific scenes, so he was not frightened. After he woke up, he screamed and yelled: He still wanted to ask his uncle and aunt for candy. Those are the two traffickers.
Ah Shui's third uncle wanted to give him a slap in the face, but when he thought that he was almost kidnapped and felt a little distressed, he was reluctant to do it.
Ah Shui's third aunt kept crying.
When she saw Tang Jiancheng, she suddenly knelt down in front of Tang Jiancheng with the little boy in her arms, "Benefactor, thank you, thank you so much! Goudan, kowtow to your benefactor!"
"Get up, why is this happening!"
Tang Jiancheng quickly moved away from their kneeling, "Secretary of the Communist Party of China, let them get up quickly. How old are they? If they are still kneeling, isn't this a loss of my life?"
The village party secretary also said with a straight face: "Qingtao, get up quickly. If you want to thank me, just thank me normally. Don't kneel down all the time!"
Uncle Ah Shui quickly helped Qingtao up and explained: "Brother Jiancheng, I'm sorry, I'm so excited in the house, but you don't know that we gave birth to this son after we had four daughters in a row! If this person is abducted, it will totally cost us our lives!”
"Goudan, you must remember your benefactor. When you grow up, you must remember to repay him, you know?" Qingtao told Goudan seriously.
Goudan had no idea what was going on and was confused, but since his mother said it, he nodded in agreement and stared at Tang Jiancheng for a long time with his dark eyes.
However, he was only a four or five-year-old boy, and he would probably forget about it in a few days.
At this time, Ah Shui came over and called for dinner.
The meals were sumptuous.
Tang Jiancheng saw that other people's bowls were full of sweet potato rice or pumpkin rice, but what Ah Shui brought out for him was white rice, which was a big bowl full.
He was embarrassed to eat, and saw Qingtao's four daughters standing timidly by the door. They were about the same age as his third, fourth, fifth and sixth sisters, so he waved and let the four The girl goes over.
The four girls didn't move, just looked at him with their big eyes.
Tang Jiancheng had no choice but to walk over and hand the bowl to the oldest girl, "This bowl of rice is for you. You and your sisters can eat together."
Qingtao said hurriedly: "My dear benefactor, how can you do this! Dahua, you are not allowed to pick it up!"
The girl was so frightened that she shrank and turned around to run away, but Tang Jiancheng held her back. "Don't be afraid. I gave you food. Eat it quickly. Your parents won't scold you."
Qingtao wanted to stop her again, but the village party secretary hurriedly pulled her back and said a few words in her ear. Her expression changed and she stopped talking.
Dahua took the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Tang Jiancheng deeply, as if she wanted to remember him in her heart, and then she squatted in the corner with her sisters and started eating.
Tang Jiancheng returned to the table and ordered a bowl of sweet potato rice. He ate it happily.
There are many dishes on the table, including fish, shrimp, meat, sparrows, cabbage, and radishes. It can be regarded as the top entertainment in this era.
The village party secretary also brought wine.
However, Tang Jiancheng had to rush back, so he didn't drink too much, just half a cup.
At the dinner table, there was naturally another thank you and condemnation of the traffickers.
After dinner, the village party secretary called for a tractor to take Tang Jiancheng back to Daping Village.
Ah Shui, Jiang Chengfa, and Qingtao, along with Goudan, insisted on sending Tang Jiancheng back to Daping Village together, but they couldn't be persuaded. Fortunately, the tractor is spacious enough for several people to sit on it.
After loading the basket full of fishing nets onto the tractor and everyone sitting down, the tractor drove out of the village.
"It's completed, remember to come again!"
The village party secretary and others waved goodbye to Tang Jiancheng warmly.
