Chapter 308 Storytelling
Gu Mingyue returned to the carriage, and Liang Yuanyuan danced with joy as she talked about her and her aunt's heroic act.
Bai Fenglai said in fear, "If those human traffickers succeed, it would be horrible to think what would happen to this mother and son."
Guanglei asked in confusion, "Aunt, didn't you publish some tips on how to prevent abduction? I remember you said that the Railway Bureau has free copies. How could anyone fall for it?"
Gu Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "Maybe some people are illiterate, or don't like reading. Besides, people have inherent perceptions and always think that there are more good people around them. It's inevitable that they trust others easily and regret it for the rest of their lives."
Liu Gaiwa asked curiously, "Has the Party Secretary ever published a book?"
Guanglei said proudly, "Of course, the stories written by my aunt are very famous in our place, but she hasn't written them in recent years. In addition, the villagers are busy working to make money, so gradually no one mentions them anymore. Otherwise, every time the newspaper is published, the first thing that happens is that the whole village listens to the stories together. It's so lively."
Liu Gaiwa looked at Gu Mingyue and asked, "Secretary, do you have any newspapers in your collection? I want to read them too."
Guanglei was the first to answer, "Of course not. My aunt only saves food. But you can go find my uncle. He has always kept it."
Gu Mingyue said unhappily, "I think you are becoming more and more bold, and you even dare to tease your aunt."
Guanglei chuckled.
Liang Yuanyuan said innocently, "Aunt, I also like to save food, but I don't know why, it disappears after I save it. Where do you usually hide it?"
Bai Fenglai said speechlessly, "If you dare to hide food in your pillow or closet again, I will confiscate all your favorite candies."
Liang Yuanyuan's eyes widened, "Mom, it turned out that you took it." Then she patted her chest and said thankfully, "Hey, if you want to eat it, just tell me. You are the one I love the most, and I will give it to you even if I am reluctant. Don't be so naughty next time. It's not easy for me to save up those things by eating frugally."
Bai Fenglai was almost pissed off by her, "I think you did it knowingly, come here, I'll beat you up."
Liang Yuanyuan ran to Gu Mingyue and said sarcastically, "I'm not stupid. I came to you even though I knew you wanted to beat me. Aunt, do you think I'm smart?"
"Haha, yes, your whole family combined is not as smart as you."
Bai Fenglai held his forehead and sighed, Liang Shaoling seemed to be proud of it, he was undoubtedly a daughter slave...
Gu Mingyue held her in her arms and said, "Auntie asks you, if you encounter a similar situation next time, what will you do?"
Liang Yuanyuan tilted her head and said, "Aunt, don't worry, I know what's going on. You said that when you encounter someone with unequal strength, or someone you can't beat, the first thing you should do is to protect yourself from getting hurt, and then help others if you are able to do so."
Gu Mingyue gave a thumbs up and said, "I knew you were this type." Then she looked up at Bai Fenglai and said to him, "Sister Bai, it's good for the child to be more lively. At least he won't suffer any loss outside."
"You guys just keep spoiling her, sooner or later she'll be spoiled to death."
Gu Mingyue and Liang Yuanyuan made faces at each other.
Turning back, she saw Liu Gaiwa looking at her expectantly. Thinking of the newspaper he mentioned, she said with a smile, "I'll find it for you when I get home. But, I was mostly doing it for the royalties, so my writing is really average. I'm afraid you won't be able to read it."
"That's definitely not the case. But, Secretary, what kind of writing do you do?"
Speaking of this, Bai Fenglai instantly recalled the stories that had made her wake up. She looked at her husband beside her and recalled the past at this moment, as if it had happened in the last century.
Liang Shaoling asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Bai Fenglai shook her head and said to Liu Gaiwa with emotion, "Your branch secretary writes thought-provoking stories, and indirectly saves many people, allowing some people on the verge of collapse to find hope. It's amazing. If she hadn't stopped writing a few years ago, the village radio broadcast every morning would have been broadcasting her stories."
No matter how thick-skinned she was, Gu Mingyue felt a little embarrassed. "Okay, okay, stop praising me, or I'll start to show off my calm personality. Well, I have nothing to do, so I'll tell you a story to relieve the boredom of the journey. Do you want to listen?"
The others said in unison, “Listen!”
Gu Mingyue recalled the past and originally wanted to tell a melodramatic love story, but when she thought of the children around, she changed her mind.
"Let me tell you a story similar to today's. I was also on a long-distance train. There was a broadcast announcement before the train stopped at night. The sudden sound woke up the sleeping baby. The baby's crying woke up everyone in the carriage. The mother of the child hurried to comfort the baby, but the baby kept crying. Noticing the unfriendly looks from people around him, the father of the child could only keep apologizing.
As the child cried louder and louder, a fierce-looking man sitting next to him could not help but loudly scold the other party for not knowing how to take care of the child. The child's father could only continue to apologize, but the fierce man still refused to give in. The child's father also got angry and retorted that the child could not speak yet, so even if he was scolded or hit, he would not know how to comfort him.
An old man nearby advised the fierce man that it was not easy for everyone to be away from home, so he should be considerate. Then he turned around and asked the child's father if he was hungry. Otherwise, he should feed him something. It was not a good thing for him to cry like this. Moreover, it was late at night and everyone was resting. It would have a bad impact. The child's father was also helpless. He said that the mother had little milk and the child did not like to drink milk powder. He had no choice. After hearing this, the fierce man showed a very impatient look, put on a hat to cover his ears and went to sleep;
Seeing the child crying more and more fiercely, the couple was afraid of disturbing others. The next stop was originally not due, so they had to get off early, thinking of getting off the bus to comfort the child before taking another bus. Who would have thought that when they got up to leave, they were stopped by the fierce man, who threatened that the child had woken him up and it would be difficult to leave, and made an unreasonable demand for compensation. The couple tried their best to explain, but the man still pestered them and insisted on compensation. An older woman in the front row suggested to find a train policeman. The child's mother didn't want to make a big deal, so she took out 5 yuan and handed it to the man to make peace. Unexpectedly, the other party thought the money was too little;
This sentence completely angered everyone on the train, and they all cursed him as worse than an animal. Seeing that the situation was out of control, someone quickly asked the train police to come over. The couple was obviously panicking and wanted to leave, but the fierce man stared at them. When the train police asked, everyone on the train accused the man of being unreasonable and helped the couple. The train police asked the three of them to show their letters of introduction. At this time, the wife asked the train police to help hold the child, saying that she was looking for him. Unexpectedly, the next second, she directly pulled her husband and wanted to jump out of the window to escape. Those who tried to stop the fight were all dumbfounded, and at the same time realized something..."
