Chapter 151 Li Shengnan
Go to the front of the line.
An old farmer was speaking humbly to the staff at the grain station, "The grains we carefully selected are all good, don't worry..."
The old farmer had a wrinkled face, gray hair, and was wearing patched clothes. The cracks on his hands reflected his hard work.
They clearly voluntarily handed in the public grain, but were forced to do so in a humble manner just to avoid being picked on.
The staff member was a female comrade. When she saw the old farmer approaching her, she waved her hand impatiently, “Hey, just keep talking. Stay away from me.”
Gu Mingyue knew very well that one cannot defeat another, so even if she made a scene today, it would be of no use.
So when she came closer, I took the initiative to say hello, "Hello, excuse me..."
Seeing that Gu Mingyue was dressed beautifully, the staff member restrained himself slightly, but still asked in a stern tone, "Who are you?"
"I am the Party Secretary of Gujia Village. I like to write and have been published in newspapers a few times. Now, I am touched by the enthusiastic scene and my hands are itching to write. I want to ask if I can take some photos for you to submit."
After saying this, he did not forget to raise the camera in his hand to prove the truth of his words.
The staff member's eyes flickered. He had looked down on the other party when he introduced him as the village party secretary.
I thought it was someone from another village trying to get close to me.
I noticed the camera and realized that it was a rare item and not everyone had one.
The staff at the grain station are even more arrogant than the salesmen at the supply and marketing cooperative. Few of the people working here have simple families.
Of course, he was not so easy to fool. He just asked, "You are really amazing. You have even appeared in newspapers. What did you write?"
Gu Mingyue pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I don't know if you have read "Bitter Cabbage Flower", which was written by me."
The staff member's surname is Li, and his name is Shengnan. When he heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. "Oh my God, I remember now. The author seems to be called Gu Mingyue. Is it really you? Oh my God, you don't even know that I even wrote you a thank-you letter."
Gu Mingyue said "Ah" and asked, "Where did you get this from?"
Li Shengnan said excitedly, "My sister is in a similar situation to Kucaihua. No matter how harshly her husband's family treated her, she always had hope. Ever since we read Kucaihua's story, our family has been worried about various things. We finally persuaded my sister to cooperate, so we lied that my sister couldn't stand the bullying and jumped into the river. We went to his house to argue, but he actually said the same thing as in the story. Only then did my sister wake up. Now she has divorced and taken her children to live with distant relatives. Recently, she wrote to say that she is living a comfortable life. Thanks to the story you wrote, you warned us. Otherwise, my sister might have suffered more injustice. If she was really like Kucaihua, our family would have a hard life."
It can be seen that Li Shengnan thinks very much of her sister, and her eyes were red at the end of her speech.
Gu Mingyue said seriously, "I think it was pure luck that the story I wrote could help you. It was you, her closest relatives, who really helped your sister escape from the sea of suffering. Without your support, she would not have had the courage. Just like the bitter cauliflower, if her family had loved her a little more, she would not have ended up in such a tragic way. So I think it was your family that gave your sister this luck."
At this moment, Gu Mingyue standing in front of Li Shengnan seemed to have a halo, which made her admire him from the bottom of her heart, and also made Gu Mingyue have a crazy fan from then on.
"No matter what, you have helped our family. You just said you wanted to take a photo, right? Wait a minute, my uncle is the stationmaster, I will go talk to him."
Li Shengnan ran away immediately after saying this.
Seeing the other party's enthusiasm, Gu Mingyue felt like a completely different person from the one who had disdained the old farmer just a minute ago.
She knew that Li Shengnan's gratitude was genuine, but her identity discrimination was also real.
You can't argue about the right or wrong of this thing. The inherent class concepts are sometimes really frustrating and speechless.
Gu Mingyue turned around and apologized to the old farmer, "Uncle, I'm sorry to have wasted your time."
The old farmer waved his hand and said honestly, "It's okay. I have to thank you for saving me from embarrassment."
The young man next to him grumbled unconvincedly, "It's obviously them who bully people for no reason every time..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old farmer hit him and said, "You are the one who talks too much."
Then he said to Gu Mingyue, "Girl, don't be offended. He is my grandson. Young people don't know the seriousness of the situation. You..."
Hearing what the old man meant, she comforted him, "Uncle, I am also from the countryside. I know the hardships of us farmers and I won't say anything. Just wait patiently. They won't make things difficult for you this time. Believe me."
The old man was a little confused, but Gu Mingyue didn't explain much.
Li Shengnan quickly came back with her uncle, "Mingyue, this is our stationmaster, Dong Guoping."
The man was wearing a four-pocket Zhongshan suit, was a little plump, and had a smile on his face. He looked quite easy-going.
Gu Mingyue didn't believe that he was really approachable even though he could be the stationmaster of a grain station.
She was the first to extend her hand and introduce herself, "Hello, Station Master Dong, I'm Gu Mingyue, sorry to bother you."
Dong Guoping knew about his sister's family and had also heard his wife tell the story of the bitter herb.
I once caused a family war because of my casual remark "It's none of his business".
During that time, he spent almost all of his private money to please his wife and keep his family in peace.
Thinking of this, he said meaningfully, "Don't bother me. Seeing is believing. I never thought that the author is so young and could write such a bitter story. The young are indeed formidable."
Gu Mingyue said calmly, "You're too kind. It's my honor to hear you."
Dong Guoping was surprised at the other party's calmness.
He didn't really care about being published in the newspaper. After all, their grain station didn't care about the small reward, but it was better to have it than nothing.
Besides, this girl behaved openly and generously, which made him look at her with a higher regard.
It might be that he couldn't make compromises. Then he gave it all to Li Shengnan to arrange.
Being looked at with new eyes is one thing, but a tabloid writer is not worthy of being greeted personally by a webmaster like him.
I was willing to meet her just for the sake of my niece.
Gu Mingyue never forgot to express gratitude.
Then I suggested to Li Shengnan that I want to capture her natural state at work.
The grain station has been very busy during this period.
After hearing this, Li Shengnan returned to her job and continued to check the old farmer's grain.
Gu Mingyue held up the camera and took pictures while exaggeratingly saying, "Professionals do professional things. Looking at your movements, Shengnan, I can tell that you are definitely a skilled worker. You are really skilled. Can you tell me how to identify the quality of grains? Of course, if it's troublesome, just pretend I didn't say it. Don't make it difficult for me."
Li Shengnan was confused. How could she be an expert? She had to guess what she was doing. If she was in a good mood, she would pass the test. If she was in a bad mood, she would make things difficult for her.
She was relatively good. Her family had enough, she wasn't greedy or asking for anything, and at most she'd just be scolded a few times.
Others had to order something every time. As far as she knew, at this time of year in previous years, the tables of each household in their unit were very well-fed.
But there is no way to say this.
Facing Gu Mingyue's "humbly asking for advice", he could only pretend to be calm and explain, "This needs to be carefully observed, the size, taste and weight..."
