Bringing space to the countryside, others eat bran while I eat meat
Chapter 42: Better Said Than Sung
The village party secretary had already started his speech, and everyone's attention was drawn back.
When Shen Ning looked around, he saw Zheng Xuemei, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family. She was holding the hand of a little boy who was about seven or eight years old and was talking to him affectionately.
Subconsciously, I searched for San Ya, but found nothing.
San Ya is not here. Is she locked up at home by her sister-in-law, or is she delayed by something? I have already warned Zheng Xuemei last time, so she should not dare to take action in the short term.
Gu Changgeng looked at the young educated youth who was looking around in the audience, and his gaze unconsciously stopped on her. His brows furrowed slightly, and the scar on his brow bone looked even more hideous.
Maybe because he stared at her for a little too long this time, Jiang Yuanyuan's voice trembled a little, "Ningning, did you really not offend him? I really feel like he is looking at you!"
Shen Ning looked up and met Gu Changgeng's gaze. He dodged in panic, but then he felt something was wrong. Wouldn't this make him look guilty?
Humph, why are you so fierce? Even if Gu Changgeng suspected that I took Wang Baozhu's wallet, so what? He couldn't find any evidence.
Shen Ning plucked up his courage and sat up straight again. His almond-shaped eyes were wide open, trying hard to reveal a fierce look.
But in Gu Changgeng's eyes, it had no killing power at all. Instead, it looked like a puppy with its fur blown off, which made people want to pet it and smooth its fur for no reason.
Gu Changgeng was frightened by his own thoughts. He quickly retracted his gaze and cleared his throat twice, as if trying to get rid of the strange thoughts in his mind.
But in Pei Yan's eyes, this look was like a thousand-year-old iron tree finally blossoming. Has his old brother finally come to his senses?
Unfortunately, it was time to go on stage to speak, and Pei Yan walked up to the podium in a very humble manner.
……
Secretary Pei Yan said a few polite words.
Then, the villagers of Hejia Village passionately told the heroic deeds of the public security organs who, after going through untold hardships, finally busted the cruel human traffickers across provinces and rescued a total of 56 trapped women and children...
The villagers listened with tears in their eyes and applauded loudly.
Jiang Yuanyuan felt that the melon seeds in her hand were no longer fragrant, and sighed, "I think this secretary will no longer be an official, and can become a storyteller. He tells stories very well, and I get nervous just by listening to him."
Pei Yan continued, "My fellow villagers must be very curious about why I am holding such a commendation meeting today.
The reason is simple, because this human trafficking case that shocked the whole country was successfully solved thanks to one person.
It was she who was smart and wise, and saw through the disguise of the traffickers at a glance; it was she who seized the opportunity and secretly reported the case to the comrades in the People's Liberation Army; and it was she who disregarded the danger, used herself as bait, and pretended to be abducted by the traffickers.
Finally, at the critical moment, he knocked the criminal leader unconscious with a stick and rescued the trapped child.
It can be said that her contribution in this case is irreplaceable. If she hadn’t stepped forward, who knows how many women and children would have been harmed…”
Shen Ning couldn't help but feel his face getting hot. If he hadn't been personally involved in the case, he wouldn't have believed that the person Secretary Pei was talking about was himself.
I just stumbled upon it by mistake, I'm really not as brave and noble as he said...
But the villagers' eyes were already shining, and they were whispering to each other, "Who is it? Who is it?"
This is too amazing, just like the knights in ancient times, doing good deeds without leaving a name!"
"No, no, he is a modern-day Lei Feng. He is truly amazing."
"Yes, yes!"
"..."
Pei Yan saw that the villagers' interest had been aroused, so he raised his arm to suppress their discussions, "Now let's welcome this hero to the stage with the warmest applause.
She is the educated youth who came from Suzhou City to Hejia Village to work in the countryside, Comrade Shen Ningshen.
Now, on behalf of the city and county leaders at all levels, I would like to express my highest respect to Comrade Shen Ning and present him with the "Heroic Act" and "Five Good Youth" awards.
I also hope that fellow villagers will take Comrade Shen Ning as an example, learn from her, and emulate her.”
"Ah, what?"
"Who? Shen Ning?"
"The most beautiful female educated youth?"
Everyone hesitated for a moment, their brains seemed to be stuck, but they started clapping out of habit, and their eyes turned to Shen Ning in the crowd at the same time.
It's her? How is it possible?
Shen Ning just felt very embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly, and a few strands of hair covered her slightly red face.
She wanted a letter of praise and a banner, but this was not the way to ask for it.
Pei Yan on the stage still felt it was not enough, "Now please invite Comrade Shen Ning to come on stage and share with everyone his mental journey when fighting against the human traffickers."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Shen Ning stood up from the crowd with ease and slowly walked up to the platform.
Jiang Yuanyuan hadn't reacted yet. She turned her head to look at her side, but it was empty. She then looked up at the figure standing on the podium and was so startled that the candied fruit in her hand fell.
"Shen Ning? What? The person who should be commended is Ning Ning!"
Not only was she surprised, but the people at the educated youth site were almost shocked.
Thinking about what happened before, he quickly figured out the connection. No wonder Shen Ning disappeared at the station for no reason and was later sent back in a military jeep.
No wonder the village party secretary suddenly brought leaders to inspect the educated youth site yesterday...
Suddenly, everyone felt proud and straightened their backs.
Li Zhiqiang touched his chin and said, "Oh my goodness, this little girl Shen Ning is incredible. She kept silent, and it turned out that she went to catch human traffickers!
Awesome! I'm impressed, Brother Qiang!
From this perspective, Sun Qing wasn't completely spreading rumors. It turns out that Shen Ning really escaped from a den of human traffickers!"
Fang Heng looked at Shen Ning, who was talking eloquently and giving a speech to thank him, on the podium. He couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and his eyes became more and more fanatical.
He really couldn't believe that such a small body could contain such a passionate and unyielding soul.
Sun Miao and Wang Baozhu were unwilling to believe that such a great hero praised by everyone was actually Shen Ning!
How is this possible? The coward who used to be timid and didn't even dare to say a word has transformed himself into a great contributor to the fight against human traffickers and a hero praised by everyone.
This realization is more painful than killing them.
Shen Ning, who was standing on the stage, also felt uncomfortable. The eyes below were staring at him, full of praise and praise, sincere and enthusiastic. Nowadays, everyone has a blind worship of heroes.
Some villagers even shouted, "Shen Zhiqing, you are awesome!"
"Yes! Good job!"
"..."
Shen Ning was so excited by this straightforward praise that he smiled shyly and continued, "...In such an urgent situation at that time, I didn't think too much, I just thought that I must not let them take the child away.
I believe that all of you here, if you were in the same situation as me, would make the same choice as I did.
I just followed my heart and did the right thing. It was our great comrades in the People's Liberation Army who actually captured the human traffickers.
It is because I know they are standing behind me and my safety is guaranteed that I dare to give it a try.
This medal is a personal award to me, but I think it should belong to the great PLA comrades more."
Shen Ning's impassioned speech instantly brought the atmosphere to a climax.
Pei Yan pushed Gu Changgeng teasingly, clapping and whispering, "Hey, did you hear that? She said the medal belongs to you."
Gu Changgeng glanced at him expressionlessly, then looked at the figure on the stage, the corners of his lips slightly raised, as if smiling.
Haha, you little liar, you speak better than you sing.
When he saw me, he ran faster than a rabbit, without any sign of trust or gratitude...
