Chapter 281 Visiting the Fang Family After Returning to the County Town
Grandma Fang warmly welcomed the mother and her two children into the house, and interacted affectionately with the two little ones.
The two babies have been seeing Grandma Fang frequently since they were born, and they are very affectionate towards her.
The elderly couple were pleased to see the gifts Feng Qingqing had brought from the provincial capital, but they still scolded her for being extravagant and wasteful, saying she didn't need to bring them things from the provincial capital every time.
The elderly couple had a keen eye and could tell that the gifts Feng Qingqing brought were all high-quality items that were not available at the supply and marketing cooperative in Nanjiang County.
It's obvious that not only will it cost money, but even more tickets will be needed.
Feng Qingqing smiled slightly after hearing this and didn't say anything.
She thought to herself: This is really unfair to her. All these things were prepared by Aunt Gu Dingxiang a long time ago. Before she returned to Nanjiang County, Aunt Gu prepared all kinds of food and other supplies for her many times.
Seeing that Feng Qingqing's attitude was as usual, the elderly couple felt slightly relieved.
After all, what happened with Fang Guangmei had occurred before. Although they all knew that Feng Qingqing was not a petty person, they were still worried that Fang Guangmei would affect their relationship, and they felt uneasy.
At the elderly couple's warm invitation, Feng Qingqing and her mother had lunch at their home on the third day of the month. After lunch, they slowly walked back hand in hand.
After returning home, Feng Qingqing first coaxed her two children to take a nap, while she packed her things and thought about the Lanshan Brigade.
This time, her trip to the provincial capital took longer than usual, and she had been unaware of Tian Xingzhu's situation since he came to Lanshan Brigade to work in the countryside.
Especially the two people who were suspected of searching for He Yong'an's identity and background.
I was secretly thinking that I should go to the commune in the next couple of days.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, she had just finished getting her two children ready and had breakfast.
Then she heard a knock on the courtyard gate. Feng Qingqing put down the rag in her hand and walked out the door.
As they walked, they guessed that the person outside the door was probably Old Mrs. Fang.
To everyone's surprise, when the door was opened, standing outside was Hu Fangming, whose nose was red from the cold.
Feng Qingqing was overjoyed, her face immediately lighting up with a broad smile as she said:
"Why are you here at this hour? Come in, come in quickly."
He quickly opened the door to welcome the person in, then locked the door from the inside before speaking warmly with Hu Fangming.
She never expected that Hu Fangming would come to her at this time.
She was away in the provincial capital for a long time this time, but she didn't expect Hu Fangming to time it so precisely, visiting her on the third day after she returned.
Hu Fangming was also extremely incredulous when he heard about Feng Qingqing's itinerary.
She didn't come over during this period because of the cold weather and because nothing else happened in the brigade.
Moreover, she knew that Feng Qing was going to the provincial capital for a while, which is why she came over after some time.
As they spent more time together, they became familiar with each other's temperaments and found themselves to be exceptionally compatible when they talked.
Not long after they started talking, Hu Fangming spontaneously began to talk about their experience at the educated youth compound.
Especially Tian Xingzhu.
Hu Fangming, having spent a considerable amount of time with Feng Qingqing, noticed that Feng Qingqing was extremely attentive to Tian Xingzhu.
Therefore, every time he comes, he brings some news about Tian Xingzhu, and this time is no exception.
Upon hearing about Hu Fangming's situation, Feng Qingqing immediately stopped what she was doing and listened carefully to Tian Xingzhu's message.
She hadn't seen that girl for quite some time.
I wonder what it's like for a pampered city girl like her to suddenly find herself in this rural area where people toil in the fields.
I wonder how this young lady gets along with the educated youth and the villagers, and whether she has adapted to rural life.
Hu Fangming spoke crisply and concisely. Although a lot had happened recently, she quickly picked out the important points and explained the ins and outs of the matter.
Feng Qingqing wasn't too surprised when she heard Hu Fangming's words. After all, she had lived in the countryside for a long time and knew a thing or two about the thoughts of the elderly men and women, young women and wives in the countryside, even if she didn't know them clearly.
With Tian Xingzhu's high-profile approach, it's hard not to attract the attention of opportunists and shady characters.
Hu Fangming emphasized Tian Xingzhu's actions towards her savior.
After listening, Feng Qingqing just smiled lightly and thought to herself: This Tian Xingzhu really doesn't know what's good for him.
She treated her savior so casually.
Just wait and see, there'll be plenty of trouble when she gets back.
You know, the older women in rural areas love this kind of gossip the most.
Even when there's nothing going on, they can stir up trouble, let alone gossip about Tian Xingzhu, who is already a prominent figure.
Finally, Feng Qingqing heard that Tian Xingzhu had been back in Beijing for several days and was estimated to be back in the next couple of days.
Feng Qingqing was somewhat surprised to hear this news. She didn't expect that Tian Xingzhu, who had only been in Lanshan Brigade for a short time, would ask for leave and go back.
And for some unknown urgent matter, she was brought back to Beijing at this time.
She was pondering this to herself when she heard Hu Fangming say that Tian Xingzhu's leave period was 8 days.
Time is almost up, and we should be back at the Lanshan Brigade soon.
After listening, Feng Qingqing lowered her head and pondered.
It seems I'll have to go back to the commune sometime soon.
The two chatted for a long time, and Tian Xingzhu, who was far away in Beijing, seemed to be in a good mood at home.
Since she returned to Beijing a few days ago, her mother, Chu Baiying, was very surprised by her daughter's sudden return home.
At the same time, I was also slightly displeased.
She recalled the phone calls her daughter had made a few days earlier, crying and demanding that she be transferred back to Beijing. She secretly wondered if her daughter wanted to bring up the matter of being transferred back to Beijing again this time.
She thought to herself that no matter what, even if her daughter cried and made a fuss, she would never agree.
After all, she had carefully discussed this matter with her daughter beforehand.
She couldn't rest easy if her daughter wasn't in Nanjiang County to handle the matters they had discussed earlier.
Tian Xingzhu was quite clever; she could tell from her mother's expression that her mother was referring to the phone call she had made earlier.
She knew what her mother was thinking, but she didn't explain it to her for the time being.
She first tearfully recounted her experiences in the countryside after being sent there.
In short, she turned ten points of dissatisfaction into a hundred points through her crying.
That was as terrible as it could be described.
Although Chu Baiying knew that her daughter was in the countryside and was not suffering as she described.
But since it was a rural assignment, my daughter has lived in an apartment building in Beijing since birth.
This is incomparable to the conditions in the countryside.
In this respect, it's not too far off or exaggerated.
Seeing that her daughter didn't mention being transferred back to Beijing, Chu Baiying sympathized with her daughter's complaints and promised to give her more money when they returned to the countryside.
