Chapter 290 Tian Xingzhu's Encounters
For the last two days, Feng Qingqing had to make pills, so she sent her two babies to the Fang family in the early morning for two consecutive days, asking Grandma Fang to take care of them.
Now that my two children are getting older, they are much more sensible and taking care of them is not tiring.
Feng Qingqing was busy at her own pace, working in an orderly manner.
Meanwhile, Tian Xingzhu from the Lanshan Brigade was having a very difficult time.
Several days have passed since Tian Xingzhu's luggage was stolen.
Just when she was eagerly awaiting news, the Nanjiang County Public Security Bureau did not give her any notification as she wished.
I was extremely anxious.
I had a vague feeling that her luggage, including the valuables and cash inside, might really be lost forever.
The thought of all those things disappearing filled her with extreme anger, yet she didn't know how to vent it.
On the same day, after discovering that her luggage had been stolen, Tian Xingzhu immediately went to the police station to report the theft.
She then went with the police officers to the post office to investigate and learn about the people who were at the post office at the same time as her that morning.
Tian Xingzhu originally had high hopes for this.
In her view, the fact that she encountered such a thing so soon after withdrawing the money undoubtedly made the people at the post office at the time highly suspicious.
Moreover, she could sense that although the police officers didn't say anything specific, she knew that they were thinking the same thing.
At least investigate in this direction.
To Tian Xingzhu's great disappointment, the post office staff remembered clearly the people who came to the post office to conduct business at that time.
After a brief inquiry, it was found that there were not many suspicious individuals.
However, Tian Xingzhu identified the post office staff who were present at the time as the ones who stole her luggage.
She considered it her last lifeline and insisted that the police continue the investigation.
Considering the enormous amount of money she had lost, the police officers immediately launched an in-depth investigation.
Later, after much persuasion, they even convinced Tian Xingzhu to go back and wait, promising to inform her immediately if there was any news.
Tian Xingzhu didn't want to go back without any results, but it was getting late, and Qi Hongsheng kept emphasizing that if they didn't go back soon, they would miss the bus to the commune.
They will not be able to return to the Blue Mountain Brigade tonight and will have to walk back.
Hearing this, Tian Xingzhu had no choice but to board the last bus to the commune with Qi Hongsheng.
Around 8 p.m., we returned to the educated youth settlement of Lanshan Brigade.
Although Qi Hongsheng's trip to the county to pick up Tian Xingzhu didn't play a significant role, he did subtly remind Tian Xingzhu during their second visit to the post office to call her parents as soon as possible and send them some more living expenses.
Tian Xingzhu, who was in a daze, was immediately jolted upon hearing these words.
Yes, if we don't contact her mother right away and ask her to send more money as soon as possible, how will she live in the future?
She had no desire to be one of those farmhands in the countryside.
She had lived in the educated youth camp for some time and knew how those educated youth lived their daily lives.
Thinking of this, she quickly asked the post office staff for a phone number.
Just as she was extremely nervous and the call was transferred three times, her mother, Chu Baiying, finally answered the phone.
Chu Baiying was still a little confused as to why her daughter had called so soon after arriving in Lanshan County. Was it to let her know she was safe?
But then I realized it wasn't necessary, since my daughter didn't even make a phone call the last time she went to Lanshan County for a rural visit.
To my surprise, after answering the phone, I heard my daughter's tearful complaint.
She felt dizzy and lightheaded. Due to shortness of breath, she suddenly felt short of breath in her chest and experienced a dull pain.
At the same time, I was seething with hatred inside.
She never expected that her daughter, from childhood to adulthood, had always been sensible, reliable, and trustworthy.
He had only been in the countryside for a short time when one thing after another happened, and this time he actually lost such a large sum of money.
She even learned through her questioning that her daughter had called the police.
She was furious at her daughter for being so disappointing, but what was done was done, and she couldn't just stand by and watch her daughter be penniless in the countryside.
But whether it was intentional or unintentional, it is unclear.
It wasn't until three days after Chu Baiying received the call that she finally managed to send 200 yuan to her daughter.
This time she learned her lesson and realized that her daughter shouldn't have too much money on her.
Thinking of the 3 yuan my daughter lost and the jewelry she loved so much, my heart bleeds.
That set of jewelry was her absolute favorite; she would take it out and caress it whenever she had a spare moment.
She would never have taken it out if it weren't for her daughter.
Moreover, she even thought that even if she gave it to her daughter, she could borrow it if she needed it later.
Who would have thought that this precious set of items would disappear without a trace in just a few days, thanks to her daughter?
But Chu Baiyi was a shrewd person, and he quickly suppressed his anger.
Tian Xingzhu waited for three days without a penny before finally receiving her mother's remittance slip.
Upon seeing the amount on the remittance slip, her eyes widened in disbelief.
She told her mother over the phone that everything she owned had been stolen.
It could be said that he was not only penniless, but also had nothing at all.
Apart from some things left over from the last time I went to the countryside.
She had already cried to her mother about it, but to her surprise, her mother only sent 200 yuan this time.
For other ordinary families, 200 yuan is about three months' salary for a couple.
But in Tian Xingzhu's view, 200 yuan was not enough to appease the beggar.
What can you do with 200 yuan?
Moreover, in the past few days, because she returned at night, no one else noticed that she and Qi Hongsheng had returned.
But just one day later, the other female educated youths who shared a room with Tian Xingzhu gradually noticed something was wrong.
That is Tian Xingzhu, who came back from Beijing without any luggage, empty-handed, and Tian Xingzhu actually started eating the communal meals at their educated youth settlement.
Given Tian Xingzhu's previous actions, it's no wonder that the educated youth were shocked.
You should know that ever since Tian Xingzhu went to the countryside, he has always brought his own food.
They ate either various pastries and malted milk powder bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, or meals packed and brought back from state-run restaurants.
They had never eaten the food provided by the educated youth camp.
Moreover, judging from her expression when she watched them eat, she probably thought they were eating pig swill.
But this same Tian Xingzhu, after returning to Beijing, actually started eating what she had previously thought was 'pig swill'.
How can we avoid surprising the other educated youth?
They were all speculating in their hearts, wondering if Tian Xingzhu had experienced some kind of family misfortune or something else.
At first, the educated youth were just watching from the sidelines.
But after Tian Xingzhu ate their food for three consecutive days, some people couldn't stand it anymore.
