Following her parents' demotion, she married a soldier and became a relative of the chief of th

Mei Xiangcao glanced at the wound on Fu Yunqi's face and said, "He's injured. It will probably take a few days to heal."

"It's okay, they're just minor issues."

As they were talking, they could hear the slurping sounds and cries of "ouch" from people who burned their mouths with hot rice. The expressions and movements of those people were so funny that Fu Yunqi couldn't stop smiling.

In order to eat faster, they would like to pull out their heads and stuff the food directly into their stomachs so that they can return the bowls.

Mei Xiangcao warned Jiang Yang: "Don't eat so fast, be careful not to burn yourself."

Jiang Yang, who was eating at a normal speed, was suddenly called out by Mei Xiangcao. He looked at Mei Xiangcao in confusion: "Mom, why did you only remind me and not my brother and Tingting? It's as if I'm the only poor kid."

"Because you just said you want to eat three big bowls."

Jiang Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm taking it easy. If I can't finish three bowls, I won't eat them. I won't force myself to eat them."

Fu Yunqi said to Mei Xiangcao, "Auntie, I think our countryside is actually quite nice. Look, even having a meal can be so lively."

"That's right. Back when we were eating in the cafeteria, it was always bustling."

Fu Yunqi felt a little regretful, "Why didn't I come here then?"

"It's been more than ten years. You were still young then. You probably didn't even know what the countryside was."

When Mei Xiangcao and Fu Yunqi were chatting, they were seen by the women who had previously discussed her and Fu Yunqi. One of them, Zhang Lai Di, said, "Hey, hey, look, Mei Xiangcao is with the pretty boy again. He really has her hooked. Did you see it just now? It was the pretty boy who took the initiative to find her."

"Oh my, when she was young, she was the most beautiful girl in the village. That's a nice way of putting it. To put it bluntly, she was a slutty vixen. She was just showing her true nature." Zhao Xianglan said.

"If you say she's only been raising three children these past few years and hasn't found a man, no one would believe it. On the surface, she looks like a heroine, but she chased away several bachelors who tried to find her. I don't know how many men she's slept with privately, but she rarely goes back."

"I don't like pretty boys even at this age. The key point is that I think that pretty boy is more than enough for a virgin girl. How could he fall for Mei Xiangcao? He's blind."

"It shows that Mei Xiangcao has some tricks up her sleeve. No matter how fair-skinned or young a pretty boy is, he'll probably have to take off his pants when he gets in front of her."

"Why don't we keep a close eye on Mei Xiangcao so we can catch them cheating whenever they do."

"Okay, okay, it's settled. That's it."

Mei Xiangcao, who was eating on the other side, didn't notice them at all. Fu Yunqi accidentally saw them pointing in their direction and said to her, "Auntie, who are those three people? They were looking at us and seemed to be talking about something."

Mei Xiangcao also glanced at the three women, but didn't pay much attention to them: "Just ignore these three gossipy women."

Since Jiang Dahe suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago, leaving her and her three children behind, others have treated her as a widow.

There is always gossip about a widow. She raised three children alone and refused to remarry. There were more and more people talking about her, and she was tired of hearing the gossip.

As long as they don't interfere with her life, she simply pretends not to hear them.

After a while, they had only finished half of their meal. Some of the members who ran to the big pot to have a second bowl came back with an empty bowl and looked frustrated.

Fu Yunqi looked here and there with his gossipy eyes, and suddenly, there was another noise not far away.

"Puff puff!"

"Liu Zhaodi, why are you spitting in my bowl? There's your saliva in it. I won't eat it anymore. You eat it."

"Hahaha, if you don't want to eat it, forget it. I'll eat it. If any of you think it's dirty and don't want to eat it, give it to me."

Although some of the things Fu Yunqi heard were strange, he still laughed out loud.

He felt his pocket and realized he didn't bring any melon seeds with him today, so he could only eat the melon while drinking porridge.

After dinner, everyone was about to disperse when a jeep suddenly drove over. Everyone who had seen this jeep yesterday recognized it; it was a car from the county public security bureau.

As the leader of the team, Yu Guobao quickly put down his bowl and went to greet them. The car stopped and two police officers in white uniforms and a young girl got out of the car.

The two police officers were Sun Baocheng, deputy director of the county public security bureau, and an ordinary police officer, and the young girl was Fang Wenyu.

Xu Nuannuan saw Fang Wenyu coming and wondered if he was here to see her.

Sure enough, after Fang Wenyu saw her, he walked towards her.

"Sister Nuannuan."

Xu Nuannuan stood up and asked, "Wenyu, why are you here?"

"I'm here to thank Sister Nuannuan. Deputy Director Sun and the others are here to give Sister Nuannuan a reward."

Because of the arrival of these three people, the attention of everyone around was focused on them, and now on Xu Nuannuan.

Xu Nuannuan helped their village get rid of a bully. Maybe there are more glorious deeds that they don’t know about.

Deputy Director Sun and the young policeman were holding certificates and banners in their hands.

They came to Xu Nuannuan together, and Fang Wenyu introduced them: "This is Comrade Xu Nuannuan."

Deputy Director Sun said to Xu Nuannuan, "Hello, Xu Zhiqing, I'm the deputy director of the county public security bureau. We're here today to commend you."

He first gave Xu Nuannuan two certificates of merit, then took out an envelope. "You bravely performed heroic deeds on the train on your way to the countryside. You apprehended the human traffickers and rescued the abducted child, and then you apprehended the female thief, saving the passengers from their losses. The railway police over there have already sent the files to us. These two certificates of merit are a special reward for you, along with a hundred yuan. The family of the rescued child gave them a gift and asked them to help deliver it. Because the journey was long, it was inconvenient for them to come, so they asked us to do it for them."

Xu Nuannuan accepted the award certificate and the envelope containing one hundred yuan. Deputy Director Sun then took out a silk banner and another envelope and handed them to her. The silk banner had the words "bravely do what is right" written on it. In the upper right corner was written "Presented to Comrade Xu Nuannuan", and in the lower left corner was written "Presenter Fang Wenyu".

"This is your reward for bravely fighting the human traffickers in the county last time and rescuing Comrade Fang Wenyu from them. There's also two hundred yuan. Take it."

Xu Nuannuan knew that the two hundred yuan should have been given by Fang Wenyu. She was afraid that she would not accept it if she gave it to her directly, so she asked the police to do it for her.

Since it was a kind gesture from someone, she accepted it.

Deputy Director Sun took out the last certificate, which had three people's names written on it.

"This is a reward to Xu Zhiqing and Fu Zhiqing, who went to the county with you to expose the evil forces, and to Comrade Jiang Ye, who went with you to the county seat. Your courageous reporting not only helped us successfully root out the hidden cancer in the Qingpingwan Brigade, but also uncovered the bad elements who had been acting recklessly in Wagouzhai Commune for a long time. You have contributed to the future political clarity of Wagouzhai Commune and are very worthy of praise."

When Fu Yunqi heard Deputy Director Sun mention him, he hurried over. Seeing that his name was indeed on the certificate, he said with shame, "Actually, the ability to eradicate these cancers mainly depends on Xu Zhiqing. Of course, Comrade Jiang Ye also played a role, but I really didn't contribute much. I should say that it was Xu Zhiqing who helped me solve the problem, and I should thank her."

Jiang Ye also came over and said, "I didn't do much, I just drove the ox cart. If I also contributed, then the old ox's contribution was not small either."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Deputy Director Sun smiled and said, "I'll just praise Lao Niu verbally." At the same time, he felt a little embarrassed. Both of them said that they had not made any contribution. The three names were already written down. Were they going to change them at the last minute?

Xu Nuannuan said, "Comrades Fu Zhiqing and Jiang Ye are just too modest." She accepted the certificate and said, "Thank you to the county for the commendation, and thank you, Deputy Director Sun."

In the crowd, Zhang's mother and Zhang Xiaoyan were extremely jealous and envious when they saw that Xu Nuannuan received so much praise and financial rewards.

"Mom, look how much attention she has shown. Now, Brother Jiang Ye must like her even more. Oh, really, why does she have to appear here?" Zhang Xiaoyan said gritting her teeth.

Zhang's mother comforted her: "Don't panic, Mom has already told you, she is an educated youth from the city, Jiang Ye is just a peasant with a shady family background. The more outstanding she is, the more she looks down on Jiang Ye. Maybe she is just hanging on to Jiang Ye, hoping that Jiang Ye will help her in all aspects.

Look, didn't he drive a bullock cart to take people to the county town last night? Silly boy, don't you know that people are just using him. Also, don't forget what kind of relationship our family has with the Jiang family. As long as your grandfather asks Jiang Ye to marry you, Mei Xiangcao will definitely agree.

Zhang Xiaoyan felt relieved all of a sudden. "Mom, we can't let Brother Jiang Ye be deceived by her. It would be terrible if the baby really fell into the hands of outsiders. We must quickly let Grandpa finalize our marriage."

"I know, I know. It's not convenient to talk about it here. Let's go home and discuss it."

"Okay, Mom."
