After walking around, the two of them looked at the sky and prepared to go back to cook.
While walking on the road, the little lazy boy who was sleeping soundly in Li Xiuzhi's arms suddenly opened his eyes, struggled and jumped down, barked a few times, and ran in one direction.
The two of them were stunned by Xiaolan's action. Li Xiuzhi wanted to pick up Xiaolan, but Lin Jiaguo, who had already reacted, suddenly frowned.
Did this guy discover some criminal?
Seeing Xiaolan's eagerness, Lin Jiaguo hesitated and looked at Li Xiuzhi. He gritted his teeth and told Li Xiuzhi to wait here and not move.
Immediately, he followed Xiaolan's footsteps and headed towards the entrance of an alley.
One person and one dog ran faster and faster. Soon, one person and one dog came to a place. At this time, in the alley, an old lady was lying on the ground, clutching the money in her hand tightly, and a thirty-year-old woman was lying on the ground.
The bald man next year was trying to steal money from the old lady with a fierce look on his face.
"Damn it, old woman, let go, or I'll trample you to death."
The bald man threatened fiercely, with a bit of panic in his eyes. The old lady lying on the ground tightly grabbed the money in her hand, her eyes full of helplessness and longing. This money is life-saving money.
Seeing that the old lady still refused to let go, the bald man gritted his teeth and decided to kill someone. He had to get the money, otherwise he would hardly have this opportunity in the future.
When he thought of what he had committed, he felt cruel in his heart. In this case, this old lady was no worse. At worst, he could run faster and hide better.
He didn't want to kill someone and cause a big fuss. Now he had murderous intentions. The money in the old lady's hands was enough for him to make this decision.
"What the hell, I'll kill you." After letting go of the old lady's hand, the bald man pulled out the dagger from his body and was about to stab it down. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came and he was startled.
Jumping, subconsciously turned his head to look.
In a daze, he felt a pain in his hand, and then he was knocked down by a force.
When he realized it, he just thought of shouting. The Lin family had arrived. He had just done some meritorious deeds and now it was his turn.
With the help of momentum, he lifted his foot and flew. The bald man who was getting up suddenly groaned and flew three or four meters away. He could no longer get up and could only hum.
Lin Jiaguo came closer and saw the fierce look on this man's face. He swallowed his saliva and looked around. He didn't see any ropes. He was thinking of a way when a voice suddenly came from his mind.
"The murderous villain, who robbed today and intended to kill the hero's mother, shall be punished!"
After regaining his senses, Lin Jiaguo knew that this was Xiaolan's judgment. He believed Xiaolan. When he saw that the bald man was still humming, Lin Jiaguo stopped looking for the rope and walked over with a knife.
Hey, I didn’t faint. Come again!
After several times, the bald man finally fainted. Lin Jiaguo helped the old lady up first and saw that there was paper in her pocket. He said something and the old lady nodded. Lin Jiaguo took out a piece of clay from the ground and wrote "murderer" on it.
Let Xiao Lazy take this word and go to Li Xiuzhi's side.
Xiaolan left with the note in his mouth, and Lin Jiaguo asked the old lady how she was. The old lady was fine, just twisted her waist. After she was helped up, she grabbed her money and thanked her repeatedly.
"Old lady, please wait for a moment. I will take you to the hospital in a while."
Lin Jiaguo said, first he found a stick and held it in his hand, staring at the bald man with vigilant eyes, thinking that if he woke up, he would give him another sap.
But when it came to Li Xiuzhi, Xiaolan ran back and barked several times. Li Xiuzhi was shocked when she saw the note.
One person and one dog came to the street police station. Li Xiuzhi explained the situation and handed the note to the police comrades. Several policemen took action immediately.
They asked Li Xiuzhi to stay at the police station first, and they followed Xiao Lan and ran quickly, and soon arrived at Lin Jiaguo's side.
Seeing the police arriving, Lin Jiaguo breathed a sigh of relief and roughly explained what had happened. Upon hearing this, several people's faces turned dark and they quickly handcuffed the bald man.
"Old lady, are you okay?" A middle-aged man looked at the old lady and asked with worry on his face. The younger one looked at the dirt on the old lady's clothes and resentfully kicked the unconscious bald man again.
"Xiao Wu, I'm fine, my waist is just twisted." The old lady smiled and said kindly. When the policemen heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief and called the bald man a few times.
Lin Jiaguo's brows jumped at the sight. The old lady obviously knew several policemen, and these policemen respected the old lady very much.
Two people were supporting the bald man, and one was carrying the old lady on his back. Wu You, the policeman whom the old lady called Xiao Wu, and Lin Jiaguo were last. Wu You looked at the old lady's back and said, "Comrade Lin Jiaguo, thank you for today."
Well, if something happens to the old lady today, we will regret it for the rest of our lives."
Hearing this, Lin Jiaguo thought of the reminder in Xiaolan's mind about his heroic mother, and asked about Wu You.
Wu You did not hide anything and told the story about the old lady. The old lady's surname was Lin Qing, and she was a family member of a soldier and martyr.
Her two sons, two grandsons, and one granddaughter all died on the battlefield. They can be said to be full of heroes.
Lin Jiaguo listened in awe, and was glad that he had just made a decision. If he had hesitated to make it, he would have regretted it later.
"Xiao Lin, it's not easy for the old lady. She is left alone among a family full of heroes."
Wu You said with respect: "Most of the pension and some benefits the old lady received were sent to the orphanage by her."
As he spoke, he said with sore eyes: "We all advised her to leave more money for old age, but she refused. She said that she could eat as much as an old man, and that children were the future, so most of her money was given to orphans.
hospital."
"Everyone who knew about this thought of the old lady's kindness and sent her some food from time to time. They were afraid that she would send all her food supplies to the orphanage and she would not have enough to eat."
At this point, Wu You changed the topic, stared fiercely at the bald man who had woken up, and said angrily: "This bastard dares to take advantage of the old lady. I have to deal with him after I go back."
A group of people arrived at the police station. The old lady was sent to the hospital first. After Lin Jiaguo was questioned, he left amid the thanks of everyone at the police station.
As soon as the two left, Wu You came to the interrogation room. Today, he had to dig out the roots of this guy.
In the interrogation room, the bald man felt pain in his chest, and looking at the angry looks of several police officers, he knew that he was in trouble.
After an interrogation, Wu You and others looked at each other in shock. After regaining consciousness, they all felt very lucky that this guy named Lu Chuan was actually a murderer and a fugitive.
"Old Wu, this time I have to thank the people who saved the old lady. It's so special. It's just a little bit worse."
One person said happily. Lu Chuan had just confessed that he just happened to see the old lady carrying money, so he thought of grabbing it and running away.
Fortunately, Lin Jiaguo and his dog arrived in time, otherwise the old lady would have been killed by this beast.
"I have to thank you very much." Wu You nodded. This time, Lin Jiaguo not only saved the old lady, but also helped catch the murderer. His contribution was great.
…
Lin Jiaguo didn't know that this rescue made many people think of him. After returning home with Li Xiuzhi, both of them had the same idea, that is, they must make a good meal to comfort the little lazy one. Today it has made a great contribution.
After letting Xiaolan have a good meal, the two talked and tidied up the room. They will go to work tomorrow.
The next day, Lin Jiaguo got up very early. Today was his first day at work after the new year. There were a lot of things to do in the cafeteria.
He didn't make breakfast today. It was too early. The food would be cold by the time Li Xiuzhi got up. It was better to let her make it after she got up.
After getting on the bike, Lin Jiaguo quickly headed to the steel rolling mill.
After eating a hot breakfast, Lin Jiaguo burped and asked everyone to rest for a while before getting busy again.
He drank tea and began to give instructions on Xu Dahu's knife skills. Seeing his progress, Lin Jiaguo nodded with satisfaction, this boy is spiritual.
Xu Dahu was also happy to be praised by Lin Jiaguo. Everyone began to tease him, and laughter came from the cafeteria and kitchen from time to time.
While everyone was having fun, they saw Factory Director Yang’s secretary walking over quickly with a beaming face and saying as he walked: “Master Xiao Lin, go to the factory director’s office quickly. I’ll see you if I need anything.”
Lin Jiaguo was stunned for a moment, and after regaining consciousness, he left with his secretary.
"Is it Master Lin who wants to be promoted?" someone said, they had seen the secretary's unconcealable smile just now.
"I think so too." Another person spoke up and said happily: "This is only the first day. Our third cafeteria is going to have a good start."
"What a great start." One person snorted and said, "If Master Lin is promoted, the rules of our third canteen will have to be changed. Once the rules are changed, will we still have the benefits we had before?"
Everyone was stunned, and then started to argue. Every word you said and what I said almost turned into a debate.
In the factory director's office, after Lin Jiaguo arrived, he saw many people. Director Yang, Deputy Director Li and others all looked happy.
After Lin Jiaguo walked in, everyone looked at him. Factory Director Yang smiled and said, "He is Lin Jiaguo, the canteen chef and advanced worker in our factory."
"Hello, Comrade Lin Jiaguo." One person saluted and then extended his hand. Lin Jiaguo also extended his hand to shake. He had already seen Wu You, and he probably knew what was going on.
As expected, after some polite greetings, these people explained their reasons and offered rewards for catching the fugitive Lu Chuan, rewards for rescuing the old lady Lin Qing, and banners, etc. Lin Jiaguo felt that it was a bit hot to hold them, it was really a large amount.
Some.
After Wu You and others left, Director Yang patted Lin Jiaguo on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Lin Jiaguo, you did a great job. Our steel rolling mill will not only commend you for your behavior, but also reward you with some money.
For encouragement."
Deputy Factory Director Li and others also nodded. Today is the first day of work after the new year. Lin Jiaguo gave them a "good start" first. Rewards must be rewarded.
After Lin Jiaguo, who was stunned by the praise, returned to the cafeteria, Xu Dahu and the others were about to ask questions when the radio rang.
"Announcement of commendation, announcement of commendation, Comrade Lin Jiaguo of our factory yesterday..."
Three times in a row, he not only explained the reasons, but also announced the rewards given by the police station and the factory.
"Master, you are awesome!"
Xu Dahu gave a thumbs up, and everyone in the cafeteria also opened their mouths. On his first day at work, Lin Jiaguo was rewarded with almost half a year's salary.
In the second cafeteria, Silly Zhu also opened his mouth wide at this time. This Lin Jiaguo actually did such a big thing without knowing it.
In the workshop, the workers were talking a lot, their voices filled with envy and jealousy, but more importantly, admiration.
The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, wished that he was the one to be rewarded at this time. What a great opportunity. Not only were there many rewards, he could also take advantage of the opportunity to make many connections.
Qin Huairu was really jealous at this time. It was only the first day that his Lin family had directly made so much money.
After taking a deep breath, she suppressed the jealousy in her heart and thought about how to get closer to the Lin family. But when she thought about it, she had a headache again. Her mother-in-law had offended the Lin family quite a lot.
On the other side, Xu Damao was also sour. This Lin Jiaguo is really a winner in life.
Thinking that his name, Lin Jiaguo, would soon appear on the factory's honor list, he decided to buy a bicycle first to comfort his sore heart.
In the cafeteria, Lin Jiaguo suppressed everyone's "grievances" after promising to pay for them and cook them a good meal himself.
Just as the Lin family was being rewarded, the Grain Bureau and Li Xiuzhi were also rewarded. After all, she also had merit.
Although the rewards were not as generous as those from the Lin family, Li Xiuzhi was already satisfied.
Amidst the congratulations from everyone, Li Xiuzhi got off work and went home with a face full of joy.
When she returned to the courtyard, she saw that Lin Jiaguo had been surrounded to congratulate him. She smiled sweetly and walked over.
When the two of them were responding to everyone's congratulations, Director Lin from the subdistrict office came with someone. This time there was no reward, but there was a banner.
Director Lin looked at the young couple and said with a smile: "You have made a great contribution and made our street look good."
The two of Lin Jiaguo spoke humbly again, and after talking for a while, Director Lin left.
As soon as Director Lin left, Lin Jiaguo went to buy some candies and returned to the courtyard to deliver them to each house. He didn't want to give them to everyone at first, but when he thought of Li Xiuzhi's reminder, he decided to give them to him.
In the front yard, the third uncle, Yan Bugui, was eating sweets. He felt a little uncomfortable. Why didn't this happen to him?
No matter what he thought, Lin Jiaguo finished delivering the goods to the front yard and then went to the middle yard. After congratulating the Jia family and Qin Huairu, his words were all about building relationships. Lin Jiaguo said a few words and left.
As soon as he left, Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly, and when she thought of the money that Lin Jiaguo was rewarded, she flashed with greed.
Qin Huairu looked at Lin Jiuguo's leaving figure, then looked at her mother-in-law Jia Zhang, and sighed slightly in her heart. It seemed that she had to explain the pros and cons to her, otherwise she would hold her back, and she would not be able to make any plans.
Achieve their goals.
Grandpa Yi Zhonghai's family is still in the hospital, and Si Zhu is not here either, so he probably went to the hospital.
In the backyard, Lin Jiaguo went to Xu Damao's house. Before Xu Damao came back, he gave the candy to Lou Xiao'e.
At the second uncle's house, the second uncle, Liu Haizhong, pulled Lin Jiaguo and just talked to him. They all meant the same thing inside and out. He, Lin Jiaguo, had to take advantage of this moment to build a relationship.
Of course, the point is that he, the second uncle, can accompany the guests and keep things safe for the Lin family.
Lin Jiaguo was also speechless with this official fan, and left after a few words.
As soon as he left, the second uncle Liu Haizhong had a look of dissatisfaction and regret. This boy is so ignorant. How could he let go of such a good opportunity?
Hey, young people, they don’t know the importance.
Lin Jiaguo went to the deaf old lady's house again and gave her some more candies. After the two said a few words, Lin Jiaguo left.
When he got home, he saw that Li Xiuzhi had hung up all the banners. Lin Jiaguo nodded with satisfaction. If nothing else, this thing would be of great use in a few years.
After the couple had eaten first, they counted the money and tickets for the rewards.
Li Xiuzhi collected the money and tickets with a look of joy on her face, and said to Lin Jiaguo: "Jiaguo, let's go see Mrs. Lin tomorrow. She is a heroic mother and a family member of a martyr. If I don't go and see her, I won't feel at ease with this reward.
"
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Jiaguo nodded. His father-in-law, Li Pengsheng, was a soldier. Li Xiuzhi was probably instilled in some military concepts since she was a child.
Of course, Lin Jiaguo really wanted to see the old lady. She was full of loyal people. Such an old lady was worthy of his deep respect.
While the two were talking, they heard movement outside. After a while, Xu Damao came over to hand out sweets.
"Xiao Lin, brother, I'm borrowing your happiness today to add to my happiness." Xu Damao said with a smile, his eyebrows were beaming, and Lin Jiaguo also smiled and congratulated.
After Xu Damao left, the third uncle Yan Bugui was a little upset. This was already the second bicycle in the courtyard. No, he had to get one as soon as possible. Otherwise, what's the point of the third uncle's job?
Calculating his funds in his mind, he found that there was a big difference. He suddenly became discouraged and subconsciously looked at Lin Jiaguo, his eyes moved.
I don't have enough money, but I can borrow it. Didn't Lin Jiaguo get a big reward today?
After thinking about it, he went home and got the wine mixed with water, picked it up and put it down again. No, since he wanted to borrow money, he had to be sincere.
The third uncle, Yan Bugui, came to the Lin family with his body aching and taking half a bottle of undiluted wine.
When he saw him asking for a drink, Lin Jiaguo couldn't refuse. He was being rewarded today. If he refused, the most calculating old man would definitely think that he was "taking credit and arrogant".
Although I don't have to blame him, living in this courtyard house, I have to let the whole family live as comfortably as possible.
The two of them were drinking, and Li Xiuzhi fried a plate of peanuts in the kitchen for them to eat and drink. After they were almost done drinking, the third uncle, Yan Bugui, expressed his intention to borrow money.
Upon hearing that he was borrowing money, Lin Jiaguo frowned subconsciously, but quickly returned to normal, thought about it and asked.
"Third uncle, how much do you want to borrow?" After asking, Lin Jiaguo took out a cigarette, handed him one, and said with a smile: "Don't blame me for asking too much, Xiuzhi is pregnant now."
The third uncle, Yan Bugui, nodded. He understood the logic. After taking a puff of cigarette, he said: "My country, I am only short of forty-six yuan. You can lend me fifty yuan."
"Starting from next month, I will repay you five yuan every month for ten months. How about that?"
"Okay." Lin Jiaguo nodded. When it comes to borrowing and repaying money, the third uncle Yan Bugui is still reliable. He can calculate clearly, but it is only a person who can calculate clearly that he understands the principle of borrowing and repaying.
importance.
Upon hearing Lin Jiaguo's nod, the third uncle Yan Bugui suddenly became cheerful. Li Xiuzhi quickly brought fifty yuan and handed it to him.
After counting clearly, the third uncle Yan Bugui put the money away and said: "Today the third uncle accepts your love as a young couple. Don't worry, there is a principle of borrowing and repaying. You three uncles can carry it all."
The two drank for a while, and then the third uncle, Yan Bugui, left drunkenly.
