Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

When the commune secretary heard the old man's words, he immediately comforted him, "Don't say that! We're all doing this for the child. No matter whose child it is, we have to help find them if something happens. Are you going to stop looking just because it's too much trouble?"

"Don't worry! Whether your child is still alive or not, I must find him for you. If I really can't find him, then I will quit my job as the commune secretary!"

The old man was silent for a moment, then he sighed heavily and said, "Well, okay! I'll trouble you all with this matter, and thank you all for your hard work in the commune. I don't have anything special at home, but fortunately, the chickens I raised laid a few eggs. I asked my wife to cook them and let everyone share them. It's my little token of my appreciation!"

A woman with a haggard face and red and swollen eyes slowly walked out from behind. Her tear-stained cheeks looked particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

The woman held tightly in her hands a small, worn bamboo basket with a few eggs scattered in it.

These eggs are small in size and the number is pitifully small. If we want to distribute them to everyone present, I am afraid we can't even guarantee one for each person. At most, only a few leaders will be lucky enough to taste this rare delicacy.

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on this woman, suddenly, the big black dog that had been quietly standing by stood up without any warning.

It opened its eyes wide, bared its teeth and barked at the woman.

This sudden change shocked everyone present.

No one expected that the big black dog, which was so docile and well-behaved beside Li Jingshen just now, would now show its fangs so ferociously, as if it wanted to eat the woman.

The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body was shaking. Her legs went weak and she fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, the big black dog became even more crazy, trying desperately to break free from Li Jingshen's restraints and pounce on the woman.

Li Jingshen quickly stretched out his hands to hold the big black dog tightly, but the big black dog was extremely strong and continued to struggle forward, anxiously making bursts of "woof woof woof" sounds. The sound was sharp and piercing, as if it had encountered an extremely urgent situation.

The commune secretary's face instantly turned grim upon seeing this. His eyes widened in anger as he shouted at Li Jingshen, "Li Jingshen, quickly catch your dog! Look at what this looks like! If someone gets hurt, can you bear the responsibility?"

At the same time, the little old man with a conspicuous black mole on his face quickly walked to the woman's side, bent down and carefully helped her up.

While brushing the dust off the woman, the old man glared angrily at Li Jingshen and the big black dog. Then, without saying a word, he picked up the woman and turned to leave.

But the big black dog in Li Jingshen's arms showed no signs of calming down. It kept twisting its body and struggling hard. Its thick tail was swinging in the air like a whip, as if it was eager to break free from Li Jingshen's arms and chase the woman.

At this moment, Li Jingshen suddenly had an idea as if he had been enlightened.

His eyes widened as he suddenly roared, "Everyone, stand there! No one is allowed to leave!"

This sudden shout was like thunderclap out of nowhere, frightening everyone present.

Especially the old man and his woman, they stood there in a daze as if they were under a spell.

Even the commune secretary and his companions were so frightened by the roar that their heartbeats quickened and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

The one who reacted the fastest was Zhang Zhenming. He hurried forward and shouted at Li Jingshen, "Jingshen, what are you crazy about? What's going on?"

Li Jingshen's expression looked a little strange at this moment. He turned his head to look at Zhang Zhenming and said quickly, "Uncle, the big black dog has always been well-behaved and sensible. Even though it was covered in wounds from searching for someone today, it didn't act like this. Now it's acting out of character and acting so abnormally."

"It seems to me that the big black dog must have discovered some important clues. Maybe they can help us find the missing child! So, could you please ask everyone to stay and let the big black dog take a good sniff. Maybe we'll find something new."

After hearing what Li Jingshen said, the people around him began to whisper to each other, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

The old man immediately jumped out, pointing at the big black dog and shouting angrily, "Look at this dog, it's running around and biting like crazy. Who dares to get close to it? If it dares to rush over, I will not be polite and will beat it to death with a stick!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingshen's eyes narrowed in anger. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he retorted bluntly, "Sir, how unkind of you to say that! Our big black dog has been working tirelessly all day to help you find your child. He's covered in wounds and his life expectancy has probably been shortened by several months."

"But you, not only don't appreciate it, you even want to kill it at the slightest provocation. Do you have any conscience at all?"

After being mercilessly scolded by Li Jingshen, the old man couldn't say a word for a long time.

After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out these words from between his teeth: "Did I beg you to help me find my child? Didn't you go find it yourselves? What does it have to do with me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the commune secretary and other people present felt extremely embarrassed.

They worked hard all day, but in the end it was like putting their warm faces against someone else's cold butt, which was purely asking for trouble and suffering.

The commune secretary's face instantly turned ugly. He could no longer save face. He frowned and said, "Old Wu, your child is missing, and everyone is worried about you. Now that Xiao Li said there might be a way, why not let his dog try? It won't cost you a penny anyway."

"The secretary is right. We have been busy all day. What you said is really hurtful!" someone echoed.

"That's right. It seems like we are looking for trouble." Another person couldn't help but complain.

"In my opinion, the child is the most important. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, it will always be right to give it a try!" someone else expressed his opinion.

Everyone felt very uncomfortable with what Old Wu had just said, so they naturally followed the commune secretary's words.

Seeing this, Old Wu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth.
