After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again
Chapter 17 Gao Chong’s “Cousin”
As Tong Jia and Gao Chong became more familiar with each other, they discovered that they would often use some Marxist-Leninist books to test their attitudes.
Of course, these three people are not only testing themselves, but also testing Pei Yingxue.
But Pei Yingxue, a delicate young lady who would cry even when others were scolded, was not as ideologically aware as Tong Jia, who grew up under the red flag and was educated in the core socialist values since childhood.
Even though Tong Jia only recited a short passage from the junior high school political textbook, Gao Chong and the brothers He Zhishu and He Zhicheng's eyes lit up.
Originally, the three of them had simply sought to win over Tong Jia, a progressive student, but they hadn't expected her insights to be even more profound. If it weren't for the disciplinary restrictions that required reporting progress to higher-ups before proceeding, the three would have nearly revealed their identities.
Although Pei Yingxue didn't understand, it didn't prevent her from admiring Tong Jia even more because of the attitudes of the other three people.
For a moment, Tong Jia became the backbone of their small group.
Tong Jia herself had her own guesses about the identities of Gao Chong and the other two. In order to go to northern Shaanxi as soon as possible, she searched through all the books in the RV and memorized all the useful content.
As expected, hard work pays off and she did catch the fish.
Near the end of the semester, news came that the Northwest Army had been defeated. When several people gathered in Tong Jia's dormitory, the atmosphere was very depressing.
Suddenly, Gao Chong thought of something and looked up and asked, "Jia Jia, is the loudspeaker you used to make announcements in the cafeteria last time still there?"
Tong Jia was stunned and asked, "Maybe Lele took it out to play. I haven't seen it in the dormitory for a long time.
What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about the horn? "
"Doesn't Lele know how to speak? How is he going to play with the loudspeaker?" Pei Yingxue interrupted curiously.
Tong Jia said: "I found that speaker. Something inside it was broken and it didn't make any sound. Lele fixed it after tinkering with it.
After I used it that one time in the cafeteria, it became silent again.
Lele tinkered with it for a while, but he didn't know whether he threw it away because it wasn't repaired or sold it to a scrap collection station.
I'll ask him about this when he comes back.
Xiao Chong, what do you want the speaker for?"
The speaker wasn't broken; it just disappeared.
However, if Gao Chong really has an important use, she can also pierce another one.
That’s right, the loudspeaker that Tong Jia used to make announcements in the cafeteria was the one she used to poke her insoles with an awl for the first time after she came here.
How should I put it? From forming the shape to producing the object, Tong Jia didn't feel like she was using the "Magic Brush" technique, but rather like she was actually 3D printing.
When you use an awl to poke the object you want on the insole, it is actually a modeling process. Carrying it with you or putting it under the pillow for a while is the printing process.
However, the modeling process was too difficult. At the beginning, I was not skilled and pricked my hands several times.
If it weren't for the fact that the things that were pierced were time-sensitive, Tong Jia would really want to keep the horn as a souvenir.
Oh, and timeliness.
Except for the food that is eaten, all other items that are pierced by the awl have a time limit and will disappear when the time is up, even if they are stored in an RV.
Tong Jia thought: It would be easy to make another speaker for Gao Chong, but how could she explain to Gao Chong that the speaker she took out would disappear out of thin air?
Thinking of this, she no longer made any promises.
He simply said, "That speaker is broken to begin with, and it's not certain whether it can be repaired. If we need it often in the future, why don't we pool our money and buy one, or I can go to the broadcasting room and borrow one from the teacher."
Xiao Chong, which plan do you think is suitable?"
Gao Chong thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about the horn. I'll go find someone to figure out a solution.
Jia Jia, you just need to express your opinion. When we organize our classmates to take to the streets to demand a statement from the government about the collapse of the Northwest Army, it will be up to you whether you will participate or not.
And you, Yingxue, are you participating?"
Pei Yingxue was stunned by the question and immediately turned her gaze to Tong Jia and asked, "Jia Jia, are you participating? If you participate, I will participate. If you don't participate, I won't participate either. I'm scared to be alone..."
"Why are you alone? Even if Jiajia doesn't participate, don't we still have Zhishu, Zhicheng and I?
"Look at you, you're so timid, how are you going to follow us to do big things in the future?" Gao Chong said with some regret, looking at the frightened Pei Yingxue.
"Do something big? What big thing are you going to do?" Pei Yingxue's voice was trembling, and fear could be clearly heard in her voice.
Tong Jia patted Pei Yingxue on the shoulder and comforted her, "Even if you don't do anything big, there will be many things you need to face in your life. Xiao Chong just hopes that you can become stronger, so that even if we are not by your side in the future, we won't worry too much about you."
"I know, I will work hard to make myself stronger. But... Jia Jia, can we not be separated in the future? I have two brothers, and they are both unmarried. You can be my sister-in-law..." Pei Yingxue was still thinking of matchmaking, but before she could finish her words, Tao Junle, holding a lunch box, pushed them apart.
Holding the lunch box, he looked at Pei Yingxue with a resentful look, then turned his head to look at Tong Jia pitifully.
He patted his stomach and pushed the lunch box forward to indicate that he was hungry.
Tong Jia then patted Tao Junle's head apologetically, and said to Gao Chong and the others, "We were so busy chatting that we forgot to eat. Lele just brought the food back, and I have some noodles here. Let's cook some and have a meal together."
"OK……"
"No, Lele only brought back a limited amount of food. If we adults eat it, won't we be competing with little Lele for nutrition?
You guys eat first. I'll go find someone to figure out if we can get a few more speakers.
Jiajia, when I get a loudspeaker and go out to the streets to make my case, I'll count you in." Gao Chong turned around and told Tong Jia as he pushed Pei Yingxue out.
Tong Jia nodded. Since he wanted to go to northern Shaanxi and do his utmost to stop the long march and battle with heavy casualties, these early activities were unavoidable.
Although there are certain dangers, they are nothing compared to the casualties.
After everyone left, Tong Jia opened the lunch box. Seeing what was inside, she was very surprised and said, "The cafeteria actually made lean braised spareribs today? That's great. Mm, it tastes really good, delicious! Come on, Lele, you can have some too."
Tong Jia took the piece and ate it directly. After finishing it, she took another piece and handed it to Tao Junle's mouth.
Tao Junle smiled, bit the pork ribs, took Tong Jia's hand, and began to write on the palm of his hand.
After feeling the writing on her palm, Tong Jia asked in surprise, "Did you make this? How long have you been learning from the master chef? How can you make such delicious braised spareribs?"
It seems that you are really talented in cooking.
That's good. There are so many ingredients in the RV. In the past, I just cooked them casually.
Now that I have you, I will have a good time in the future."
Tao Junle smiled and nodded, took the chopsticks and handed them to Tong Jia, and kept picking up food for her.
After dinner, Tong Jia took Tao Junle into the RV as usual.
One of them went to the sink to wash the lunch box, while the other had a massage on the massage chair. After Tao Junle finished washing the lunch box, the two went to the second floor together to read and take a nap.
It was not until class time that Tong Jia called Tao Junle, and the two left the dormitory together, one to class and the other to work.
Looking at Tao Junle's small figure walking towards the cafeteria, Tong Jia suddenly felt guilty, as if she was exploiting child laborers.
But considering Tao Junle's actual age, he is actually a little adult in this era.
Only after the guilt in her heart was alleviated did Tong Jia turn around and walk towards the classroom.
Before she entered the classroom, she was stopped by Gao Chong.
Gao Chong pulled her to the end of the corridor with a serious expression and whispered in her ear, "Jia Jia, my cousin came to visit me and accidentally fell on the platform and broke her leg.
Her home is too far from here, and it is not convenient to take her back to my home or dormitory to live, and the hospital and hotel fees are expensive.
Can you let her stay in your dormitory for a few days?
Don't worry, it won't take too long, at most five days, no, three days, her family will come to pick her up. Is that okay?" Gao Chong said at the end, his eyes red.
Tong Jia felt that the reason why her cousin Gao Chong couldn't stay in the hospital or hotel was probably not because it was too expensive, but because she was worried that others would find her whereabouts. The same reason prevented her from staying in Gao Chong's dormitory or home.
Since this person's identity is so secretive, he must be from northern Shaanxi.
It just so happened that she also wanted to contact the people there directly, so she agreed.
Since there was nothing in the dormitory that was afraid of being seen by others, Tong Jia directly gave the dormitory key to Gao Chong.
She said, "My class today is a professional course, so it's difficult to ask for leave. You take the key and carry the person over yourself."
Just carry her to the bed inside, and I'll take care of Lele for a few days. Once the curtain is drawn, it won't affect her privacy."
"Jia Jia, you are so nice! This really helps me solve my urgent problem. Don't worry, I will take care of her on a daily basis and will definitely not waste your and Lele's time." Gao Chong hugged Tong Jia excitedly.
Tong Jia was shaken by her so much that her voice was almost trembling, but she still smiled and said, "Okay, my dormitory is small and can't accommodate so many people.
If you don't want so many people to know that your cousin is staying at my place and want her to have a good rest, then find a way to trip up Pei Yingxue.
Otherwise, within three days, everyone in the school would know that I am a helpful student."
Although Pei Yingxue is worried, she is Tong Jia's most dedicated fan girl.
Although she would cry anxiously when she couldn't refute those bad comments about Tong Jia, she would spare no effort to publicize any good comments about Tong Jia so that everyone would know what a good person Tong Jia is.
This behavior made Tong Jia feel a little embarrassed for a while, and she also told Pei Yingxue about it several times.
But every time Pei Yingxue agreed, but never did it.
Later, Tong Jia got used to it. She was just one of her crazy fans. As long as it didn't affect her life, she just let her be.
But this time it won’t work. Gao Chong’s identity as “cousin” must be kept secret, and she knows what Pei Yingxue is talking about.
If she hadn't been stopped, the whole school would have known about her "cousin" on the day she checked in, let alone three or five days.
Gao Chong deeply agreed with Tong Jia's words.
She thought for a moment and said, "Jia Jia, please take care of my cousin for the next few days. I'll send her to your dormitory and then go find Pei Yingxue."
After saying that, he ran away.
When Tong Jia returned to the dormitory after class, the dormitory was filled with a faint smell of medicine.
The curtain was drawn. Tong Jia gently shook it and asked softly, "Sister, hello. I'm Tong Jia, Gao Chong's classmate. I happen to have some medicine that can help heal wounds. I wonder if it can help you."
With a "swish", the curtain between the two beds was pulled open.
Tong Jia saw a pale, capable woman with short hair half-sitting on the bed. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Tong Jia. The doctor has examined my injury and has bandaged it.
Please save your medicine for others who need it more."
Tong Jia nodded and asked again: "When Gao Chong told me, I was about to go to class and didn't ask in detail.
I wonder if my sister has any dietary restrictions, so I can prepare something for her..."
"Tong Jia, you don't have to treat me specially. I will eat whatever you and your brother eat.
It’s just that it’s not very convenient for me to go out, so I can only trouble you to help me empty the toilet these few days.
Don't worry, I won't let you suffer in vain. When my family comes to pick me up, I'll ask them to leave some money for you." Gao Chong's "cousin" got straight to the point and made her most embarrassing request clear to Tong Jia.
Tong Jia was mentally prepared, but she didn't intend to take the man's money.
Without asking any more questions, she left a note on the table for Tao Junle to prevent him from being startled by seeing a stranger in the dormitory when he came back. Then she picked up the key on the table, locked the dormitory door again, and left the school.
We found a restaurant near the school and ordered a bowl of bone soup and steamed egg custard for Gao Chong's "cousin" as dinner.
When Tong Jia came back with the lunch box, Tao Junle had already returned.
When he saw Tong Jia coming back, he immediately ran to Tong Jia and made a defensive gesture towards the people on the other side.
Only after Tong Jia introduced the two of them did Tao Junle let down his guard.
Gao Chong's "cousin" said jokingly, "Didn't your sister leave you a note? Why are you so hostile to me?"
Tong Jia was also puzzled as to why Tao Junle had such an attitude. Logically, he understood the ways of the world better than she did.
But now is not the time to ask these questions. I can only ask after seeing Gao Chong's "cousin" off.
