Zhao Desheng shook his head: "There is no need to pursue this matter so much. I'm afraid the village chief and others have misunderstood. That Ning Xiangning suddenly became so young. This thing in itself is obviously abnormal. They didn't even think about it.
This drove people away.
They are willing to help us, probably because you spoke for them back then. We don't have to worry so much, we have accepted this help, we just need to remember their kindness and repay them if we have the opportunity in the future."
"Then should we tell our parents?" Wang Yaying asked again.
Zhao Desheng said: "No need, the less people know about this, the better."
After thinking for a while, he said: "Both my elder brother's place and your nephew's place don't need to provide food. At most, they can only give some sweet potatoes, otherwise it will be bad if the news is leaked."
"I think so too. I'm afraid that the old man will find out. Although he won't tell anyone, if mom finds out, she will definitely make a fuss and give half of it to eldest brother and the others. You're right, it won't be good if it is exposed by then. Otherwise
, just in the name of you going out to work and bringing food back, give them some?"
Zhao Desheng thought for a while and said, "Brother, my eldest niece and her family are working in the grain station. There is not much food, but I will definitely not be hungry. Let's forget it. We will talk about it when the critical moment comes."
Wang Yingying breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, what about this food?"
Zhao Desheng thought for a while and said, "Let's move it to the attic and hide it first."
Houses in rural areas and large border defenses are all tile-roofed houses. The rooms are covered with floorboards, and things can be placed on them. Generally, no one can live in them, and there are no direct stairs to go up and down. They have to rely on a wooden staircase to go up and down.
At that moment, the couple closed the door and poured only about ten kilograms of rice into the rice vat. The other rice was moved upstairs and hidden.
When the old lady got up to cook, she found that there was more rice in the rice vat. She couldn't help but be very surprised: "Our rice vat has some extra rice. Did you bring it back from your part-time job, De Sheng?"
De Sheng shook his head quickly: "No"
As a result, before he could make up the reason, the old lady explained herself: "It must have been given to me by Nan Mengyu and her daughter. She was afraid that we would refuse, so she just dumped the rice vat. Hey, where are they?"
On the other side, Nan Mengyu went directly to the brigade headquarters.
There was a large auditorium at the brigade headquarters for a meeting of thousands of people. She took out a large nylon cloth from the space and spread it on the ground. She poured more than 100,000 kilograms of rice out and piled it on the floor of the auditorium.
Then, they went and knocked on the door of the brigade secretary's house.
Back then, before Nan Mengyu took Leng Xiangning into the mountains, she came to the Party Secretary to write a letter of introduction. Because both mother and daughter had very good looks, Party Secretary Ma recognized them as soon as he saw them.
"It's you two. Are you back from collecting herbs?"
He had long heard that they had gone away to collect herbs and never come back. He thought they had gone away to collect herbs, but he didn't expect them to come back again.
Party Secretary Ma did not think that the two of them came to beg him to take him in. On the contrary, when he saw the two of them, something was touched in his heart: These two women are definitely unusual!
Secretary Ma is a smart man, otherwise he would not be able to become the village secretary.
He immediately enthusiastically let Nan Mengyu and the others into the house, and asked his wife to pour some water to drink. He also specifically asked his wife to take out the sugar that she was usually reluctant to use and add it to the boiling water.
The party secretary's wife is also a person who knows how to get things done. Although she is a little surprised, why her husband thinks so highly of the visiting mother and daughter that he even takes out the last bit of candy.
