Chapter 313 7 Era 18
So four days later, when Director Bai returned with the good news of his promotion, he also lifted the curfew in the entire guesthouse.
It has to be said that the people's awareness at that time was quite high. No one complained about the time they had wasted, let alone asked for compensation from the government.
Lan Hanlu even held a small award ceremony for meritorious service in front of those in the know. In addition to certificates, there were also some cash and bills.
This is the reward mentioned above. The local police station and government also gave rewards, including cash and some miscellaneous items, such as pens, notebooks, teacups and thermoses.
Anyway, according to Li Xin, "Even without counting the money, these things are enough for a man in our village to marry a wife."
Lan Hanlu teased him, "Brother, you're giving these things to your wife when you marry her. You're really stingy."
Li Xin glared at her. "What do you know? These are not enough. Take the pen, the thermos, and the teacup. In our village, only you... and only Zhang Cai got two new enamel teacups and a new thermos when he got married."
"Whose house have you seen this stuff in? It's not enough that these things require money, but they also require tickets, especially industrial tickets. We don't even have a worker at home, so where can we get them?"
"Okay, okay, big brother, I get it. It's me who is ignorant of the sufferings of the world." If Lan Hanlu hadn't said it, his big brother Li Xin really had the talent to be a political commissar. He was meticulous, responsible, and good at preaching. All of these qualities were completely met.
Although the original owner's mother didn't like her very much, Lan Dacheng was not stupid and loved her very much! When she was a little older, she would deduct some money for her every month, or Lan Dacheng would save it for himself.
So Lan Hanlu lived a much better life than the other children in the village, but it was also because of this that Zhang Caicai couldn't stand her.
Back in the ward, the two adults saw all this and of course they had to question him. Lan Han remained calm and told lies without blinking. "Yesterday, when I was out buying groceries, I saw a kid robbing an old lady. How could I just stand by and watch?" He threw the basket at the guy, knocking him down.
I thought the matter was over, but when I turned around, I found that the old lady had fallen to the ground and hadn't gotten up for a long time. So I quickly followed the onlookers and sent the old lady to the hospital.
This is a reward from the police station and the old lady’s family.”
Lan Dacheng gestured with his hands, first asking if Lan Hanlu was injured, and then asking how could someone ask for these things?
Lan Hanlu said as she packed these things, "The police station gave me this as a reward for my bravery. How can I refuse this honor? As for the gifts from the old lady's family, Dad, I can tell they're not ordinary people.
If you don't accept them, they'll think we're repaying a favor. If we accept them, they'll feel at ease, and we'll also benefit."
"That's right. Only you are so pretentious that Li Cui'er can control you." Second uncle always speaks so bluntly.
Li Xin saw that his uncle's words had silenced everyone, so he quickly stepped forward to help. "Doctor Huang just told Lulu and me that we can go home and recuperate now. He prescribed some medicine and we'll come back for a follow-up checkup after we finish the medicine."
Everyone was very happy when they heard that they could go home. Lan Dacheng wanted to go home because it was more convenient at home and Lulu, a girl, didn't have to run around all day.
Second uncle was thinking about the spring plowing which would start in a few days. Farmers were most concerned about the spring plowing and autumn harvest.
"Then let's pack up quickly. When are we leaving?" Second uncle quickly stood up from the stool and picked up his fur coat, as if he was about to leave.
"Uncle, if we want to leave, we will take the bus tomorrow morning. Why are you in such a hurry now?" Li Xin quickly stopped his uncle.
"Then you should quickly find a way to contact your family and have a carriage come to pick him up. Your uncle's leg can't be in any trouble now, otherwise all the treatment will be in vain." The second uncle was still a little anxious.
However, his words still reminded everyone, and then Li Xin's face changed. When Lan Hanlu saw this, she suddenly remembered something and her face looked a little ugly.
Then he whispered, "We've been here for so many days, didn't we forget to say hello to our family?"
The second uncle, who was folding a fur coat, threw the coat there directly, then turned to look at Li Xin. Seeing Li Xin's ugly face, his scalp felt numb.
His nervousness was fully expressed. "That's because we were too busy at that time." After saying this, he seemed to have regained his consciousness.
He yelled at Li Xin again, "You little brat, you're always idle. If you didn't inform your family, your father and grandfather would be so worried."
What could Li Xin say? "I, I'll make a phone call right now." He turned around and walked out.
Lan Hanlu ran out and said, "I'm going too. Brother, wait for me." She didn't want to see her uncle embarrassed here. What if he was trying to blame her?
The two of them hurried to the post office, luckily it was still busy. "Sister, we need to make a phone call."
"Oh, where should I call? Do you have a letter of introduction?" The woman said in a depressed tone.
"Go to the same county, guesthouse." Lan Hanlu thought about it and decided that it was the guesthouse where Zhao Bin's mother could pass on the message.
The staff called and then handed the phone to Lan Hanlu. The call was picked up. "This is a guesthouse in the same county. Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I'm looking for Zhao Bin's mother, Aunt Zhao."
"Oh, it's me. Who are you?" There was a lot of noise on the phone now and the voice was distorted, so she couldn't hear it.
"Hello, Aunt Zhao, I'm Lan Hanlu, Zhao Bin's classmate. I'm sorry to trouble you this time." She made her voice a little sweeter, after all, she was asking someone for a favor.
"Oh, it's you, little girl. Someone from your village comes here to inquire about you. What do you want to talk to me about? Just tell me directly. There are no outsiders here." The other party still looked cheerful and generous.
"Auntie, you are so kind. Didn't you bring my father here to see a doctor? He is well now and plans to go back tomorrow. If anyone wants to know about him, please pass on a message for me." She was too embarrassed to say it, so she just asked someone to deliver the message.
"Oh, oh, oh, okay. Someone's coming every day these two days, or maybe today will be here soon. I'll let you know when they come. They'll be back tomorrow, right?" Zhao Bin's mother didn't seem to feel embarrassed at all.
"Yes, yes, I'm really sorry to trouble you, Aunt Zhao." Lan Hanlu was indeed quite embarrassed. She had troubled others when she was staying at the guesthouse and had just given them a piece of rock sugar at that time.
This time, I have to bring a decent gift. "Oh, you're so polite, girl. Okay, I know what you're doing. If no one from your village comes today, I'll have Zhao Bin ride his bike to let them know."
As Aunt Zhao said this, she thought to herself, "Why can't I stand other people's compliments? Just like her son said, if I get a few nice words from them, I'll be completely lost."
But the words have been spoken, and she can't go back on her word.
