15. Make a phone call

Ji Qinglan didn't expect that when she went out to buy eggs and food yesterday and spread the evil deeds of Sister Xiangqing, the whole village knew about it today.

This wave of sympathy was well earned.

Ji Qinglan couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. He felt really bad about it, so when he returned the basket, he simply grabbed two more handfuls of candies and put them into the basket.

"No, no, leave it for Xincheng." Niu Guixiang refused to take it. She had accepted a can of milk powder yesterday and was given candy today. It was too much.

Besides, she came here just to express her gratitude, so there was no reason for her to take anything valuable back. She should not save her reputation.

"Aunt Niu, you must keep it. It was sent by my uncle from the capital. Xincheng is still young and can't eat it. Ni'er suffered a lot to give it to her."

"Besides, I have accepted so many good things from your family. What are a few candies? You must accept them, otherwise I will not be able to accept your things."

Ji Qinglan said this, as if she would not accept it even if Niu Guixiang did not accept it.

Fifty kilograms of sugar would take her a year to eat.

Niu Guixiang felt comforted to see that she could speak. She just sighed that she had changed a lot after experiencing things. She used to think that she was simple and naive. It turns out that people have to go through things to grow up.

Niu Guixiang accepted the candy at Ji Qinglan's repeated request and held her hand to talk.

"Good job, live your life properly from now on, and come to Lao Zhang if you have any problems."

What she meant was that Liang Qian was gone, and that Ji Qinglan should live a good life with the child. However, she did not mention Liang Qian because she was afraid of making Ji Qinglan sad.

This was exactly what Ji Qinglan wanted. What she lacked now was a backer. After what happened today, Secretary Zhang's family would definitely consider her in the future.

"Aunt, I also want to live a peaceful life, but I am a new widow and there are many people who are plotting against me. Thank you for your help today."

"Hey! I didn't help much. The main thing is that you have to stand up on your own. Don't give face to those unreasonable people in the village. If you have any problems, come to us."

After saying a few words, Niu Guixiang was about to leave. Her granddaughter had a fever and the brigade clinic didn't even have a few pills of medicine. Her son had already ridden his bike to the town to buy some, and her daughter-in-law was staying at home, so she was worried about her.

Poor thing, the five-year-old kid fell into ice water and now has a fever. We don’t know whether he can survive.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I still have some medicine. I'll get you a pack."

After hearing this, Ji Qinglan quickly ran back to the room and actually took out a packet of medicine from his backpack.

"Aunt, this is cold medicine. I asked someone to buy it at the town clinic. Adults should take one pack at a time. Nier is young, so give her half a pack in four doses."

Ji Qinglan thought that since the medicine given by the system was so effective and it was for colds, Ni'er should be able to use it too.

But Nier is young and certainly cannot take medicine like adults, so she asked them to take it in four doses, hoping that it would be effective.

Niu Guixiang thought that Ji Qinglan had been too sick to get out of bed for the past few days, but suddenly he was well again yesterday. He must have asked someone to buy it for him.

She hurriedly took it and thanked him repeatedly.

After seeing the guests off, Ji Qinglan returned to the kitchen.

It's already past noon. Today's morning has been really thrilling, with things happening one after another and no time to relax.

She was also hungry, so she started cooking again. This time she made pancakes and also made dinner for the evening.

She ate a few bites and drank a bowl of ginger soup before going to deal with her son.

The two police officers investigated the matter of Xiang Qiang and Hu Xiaoli in the village and then rode back on their bikes. Captain Xiang and Xiang Guo followed them. This incident and the incident of Secretary Zhang's granddaughter Ni'er falling into the water became a hot topic in the village. At noon, sounds of children being beaten were heard from many homes.

What kind of family are they? How dare they play by the river? Fortunately, Ni'er was rescued, otherwise this matter would never end.

The families of those children also developed a good impression of Ji Qinglan, who bravely rescued people.

Ji Qinglan was also waiting for Captain Xiang and Xiang Guo to leave, and then went to the village committee. There were not many people in the office at that time. It was the slack season during farming and it was winter, so the office was freezing cold. Everyone was frozen into ice. On weekdays, except for Secretary Zhang and Captain Xiang who would come regularly, everyone else was lazy.

Today, Secretary Zhang stayed at home to look after his children while he went to the Public Security Bureau with the captain. At this moment, there was only an old man guarding the door and the director of the Women's Federation on duty.

Luo Xiufang was sitting beside a brazier, warming herself by the fire. When she saw Ji Qinglan come in, she quickly stood up.

"Why is Ji Zhiqing here? Come over and warm yourself by the fire. It's so cold."

"Thank you, Director Luo." Ji Qinglan was pulled by her to sit down next to the brazier.

"What are you thanking me for? It's too much of an outsider. Just call me Sister Luo." Luo Xiufang was very enthusiastic. If she had helped Captain Xiang to smooth things over because of Xiang Qiang's matter yesterday, today her attitude towards Ji Zhiqing changed 180 degrees because Ji Qinglan saved Ni'er.

There are hundreds of households in the Honghe Brigade, and everyone has some relatives.

Actually, Captain Xiang's family is her distant cousin, and Liu Yumei's aunt married her uncle, so their relationship is complicated and inseparable.

Ever since Ji Qinglan saved people without hesitation, she felt that this person could get along with her.

"Sister Luo." Ji Qinglan called out.

Luo Xiufang was even more satisfied.

"You came out in such a cold day. Look, my little darling is frozen." Luo Xiufang touched Xin Cheng's red face and said with concern.

"It's okay. His face is meant to be blown. He's bored staying at home every day and he doesn't like it." Ji Qinglan said politely and explained the purpose of his visit.

She wants to make a phone call.

Luo Xiufang was very straightforward and nodded directly: "This is simple, just use it directly. I'll go out and get some charcoal back."

Luo Xiufang was very understanding and directly picked up the basket of charcoal and went out.

Ji Qinglan was the only one left in the office, so she picked up the phone and started dialing the number from her memory of her previous life.

It’s Uncle Peng’s home.

The phone rang more than ten times before someone picked up.

"Hello, who are you?" A young and familiar voice exploded in Ji Qinglan's ears, making Ji Qinglan's heart tighten and his fingers holding the phone turned white.

The voice seemed to have returned to her ears after a century. Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes. The deep hatred made her tremble all over. She pursed her lips tightly and dared not utter a word.

"Hey, who are you? Why aren't you talking?"

beep...

Finally Ji Qinglan hung up the phone.

It’s Xiang Lanlan, why is it Xiang Lanlan?

How come Xiang Lanlan is at Uncle Peng's house?

At the Peng family's home in the capital, Xiang Lanlan, who had been hung up on, looked puzzled. Just as she was about to check the incoming call, Peng Guodong limped in from outside.

"Xiaolan, whose phone is this?"

Xiang Lanlan quickly put down the phone and went to help Peng Guodong.

"I don't know which one it is. He hasn't said anything. Maybe he called the wrong number. Please walk slowly."

"It's okay, no need to help, I'm used to it."

I am old now, and I am grateful to you and Liang Qian for taking care of me."
