Chapter 221 Interview
The reason why Manyue's parents didn't contact their daughter was because they were afraid of dragging her down. They thought that at least she had people in the village to take care of her in her hometown, and when she grew up, she could find a good man to marry and live a peaceful life. They would be content with that.
If they were a burden, their daughter would suffer, so they unanimously decided to settle down in a distant place and let their family members in their old hometown think they were all dead.
Unexpectedly, Man Yue was so stubborn that she traveled all over the country alone to find them.
When the two sides met, they couldn't help but hug each other and cry.
After they calmed down, they chatted for a while and then it was time for dinner. I noticed that except for my bowl which had thick rice, everyone else's bowl had clear wild vegetable soup.
Man Yue personally experienced how difficult and miserable her parents' lives were, and she couldn't help but feel distressed...
But she quickly regained her fighting spirit. If she was still an inexperienced little girl, she might be at a loss. But along the way, she had gone through hardships and had some experience.
She shed her innocence and revealed her unique charm.
She comforted her parents and told them that she had met many good people who had taught her some survival skills, such as cooking and weaving auspicious knots.
She believes that as long as the family works together, things will soon get better.
As Man Yue expected, the pastries made by their family were sold to major stores and were in great demand.
The woven auspicious knots were also placed on the counter, and many newlyweds even rushed to order them in order to get them.
Relying on these two things, our family's life is getting better and better. After saving some money, the first thing we do when the baby is one month old is to find a good doctor to treat the family members.
Later, my father regained consciousness after one month, and although my mother is still unable to do heavy work, it does not affect her daily housework.
My brother’s limp could not be recovered because the best treatment period had passed, but after acupuncture, his slower walking is not noticeable.
Man Yue felt a little regretful about this and thought she should have received treatment earlier. Her brother comforted her and said that everything was fine now and he was very content.
I went back to school and did very well in school. A few years later, I was admitted to a well-known university and became a teacher after graduation.
Since then, their family has become a well-known five-good family.
When Man Yue grew up, he became a people's cadre, dedicated to doing practical things for the masses.
Many years later, a reporter came to their home for an interview.
The first question is to Man Yue: Were you afraid when you resolutely embarked on the journey of looking for your relatives?
"Of course, but it pales in comparison to the fear of losing a loved one."
Reporter: When you see a family with elderly, weak, sick or disabled people, do you regret or worry about your future life?
Man Yue: Maybe because I had seen so many joys and sorrows along the way, I thought I was very mature at that time and cherished the hard-won reunion. I still remember that I said to my parents in a very hypocritical way, "You raised me up, and I will take care of you until you grow old." Thinking about it now, I still feel embarrassed.
The reporter also interviewed Man Yue's family one by one: It is said that your family is the most harmonious family in the surrounding villages. What advice do you have for everyone?
Full moon father: If you are not deaf or dumb, you cannot be the father of the family.
Full moon mother: Mind your own business, your children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
Brother Man Yue: Put yourself in other people’s shoes and understand each other.
Full Moon Sister-in-law: My parents-in-law are kind, my husband can earn money to support the family, and he understands me. I am most grateful to my sister-in-law. In life, it is inevitable that there will be times when my teeth bite my tongue, but every time, she always takes care of my emotions at the first time, and will help me scold her elder brother. The two of us get along better than sisters. To be honest, it was because of her that I was willing to go on a blind date with my husband!
Brother Man Yue listened from the side and said:.........Didn’t you say that you fell in love with me at first sight?
The full moon sister-in-law smoothed her hair awkwardly and coughed: Oh, don’t mention the past anymore, everyone has made a slip of the tongue!
Seeing that the situation was not right, Man Yue's younger brother quickly took over the topic: Ahem, it's my turn now. I think the key to family harmony is a loving father and filial son, a loving mother and a harmonious family, and family members helping each other, without anyone harboring evil or partiality.
Finally, Gu Mingyue said to the readers in her own words, "Man Yue's story ends here. Thank you for your support along the way. No matter you are in a low point or suffering, or you are lost and have no direction, I hope that my story can help you while killing time. I wish you all the best in everything you do, and that your wishes will be smooth, and you will have more joy, peace, and all will be well in the future. Goodbye, and take care."
After this issue of the newspaper was published, I received many times more letters than before, all of which were filled with reluctance and gratitude.
Every time a story is published, someone will be asked to read it aloud during literacy classes.
Later, Gu Mingyue would pick out some readers' replies and send them to everyone, asking them to read them. The first purpose was to check everyone's literacy level, and the second was to let them know more about the outside world.
They are not the only ones who have a hard life. There are also lives that are more difficult and more peculiar than theirs, which can help everyone gain some knowledge and broaden their horizons.
This experience is reflected in the way people behave and deal with things. The villagers gradually become more organized and methodical in what they say and do. They are no longer timid when they go out, and will confidently tell others that they are from Gujia Village.
After receiving Gu Mingyue's letter, the Harbin Story Newspaper immediately published a thank-you statement on the front page of the newspaper, with a promise that each future issue of the newspaper would list in detail the destination and purpose of the funds to ensure fairness, justice and openness, and invite public supervision.
The reason why the newspaper did this was because Gu Mingyue made a private suggestion.
During the ten years of revolution, both newspapers and writers were affected. Money was involved in many aspects, and there was no way to avoid it. We could only prepare in advance to be prepared.
But she couldn't say it openly, so she vaguely mentioned that the director of the welfare home in their town was investigated because he couldn't explain the source of his money.
The editor-in-chief immediately understood what she meant and responded quickly.
I'm not afraid of not meeting smart people, I'm just afraid of being too smart for my own good. Fortunately, the other party was very sensible and I didn't waste my time.
Gu Mingyue also did not forget to write to Sun Manni.
Since Xu Xiwen's wedding, Sun Manni must have felt lonely without her daughter around, so she actually took the initiative to write to her and also sent a large package by mail.
There were various snacks, biscuit cans and a red coat. It was obvious that they were not things you could buy in ordinary stores.
Soon after, Xu Xiwen also confirmed this in a letter. Her mother specially asked a friend to buy the clothes at the foreign exchange store in Beijing. She said a lot of sour words about this. You could smell the sour taste just by reading the letter.
It also made Gu Mingyue laugh and cry.
Sun Manni simply expressed her longing for her in the letter and invited her to visit Harbin when she had time. Perhaps she didn't know what to talk about, so she started a discussion about writing style.
The letter listed in detail the deficiencies in each part of her article, and it was obviously very meticulous and rigorous. Gu Mingyue accepted it sincerely and gave her some dried meat and sausages she had made herself as a gift to express her gratitude.
