Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 137 - 136 Someone Comes From Above
Chapter 137: Chapter 136 Someone Comes From Above
Comparing herself to Xia Xiao, Dong Meihua couldn’t help but feel resentful, and thinking about He Xuebing helping Xia Xiao made her even more jealous.
Xia Xiao didn’t look at Dong Meihua again, and turned over to face away from her, resuming her reading, clearly not wanting to speak any further.
Observing Xia Xiao’s back, Dong Meihua glared silently. At the time, Yang Xuehua, Sun Yuhua, and Wang Aihua were all lying in their beds, neither wanting to speak nor move.
"Xia Xiao, can you give me a massage? I’m in so much pain," Yang Xuehua said. "I’ll massage you back later."
"Sure," Xia Xiao put down her book, sat up, and went over to massage Yang Xuehua.
Yang Xuehua let out a comfortable moan, and then Sun Yuhua also asked, "Wang Aihua, can you massage me? I’ll massage you afterwards."
"Okay," Wang Aihua readily agreed.
Dong Meihua turned to Feng Ying and said, "Sister Feng Ying, do you need a massage?"
"Sure," Feng Ying, looking sleepy, agreed.
Thus, the people in the dormitory helped each other with massages to relieve fatigue. As they often did this, everyone had unconsciously become quite skilled.
Yang Xuehua was drowsy but quickly woke up, "Xia Xiao, lie down, and I will massage you."
"Alright," Xia Xiao was very willing to be massaged and immediately lay down to be helped by Yang Xuehua.
Sun Yuhua, who was on the verge of waking up, heard Yang Xuehua and also switched with Wang Aihua. As for Feng Ying, Dong Meihua wasn’t sure if she had heard or was already asleep, but before she could speak, she heard Feng Ying’s slight snoring.
Dong Meihua shook Feng Ying slightly and called her softly, but Feng Ying did not respond, and Dong Meihua immediately felt suffocated with annoyance.
"Sister Feng Ying, Sister Feng Ying," Dong Meihua called again, but this time Feng Ying’s snoring grew louder. Dong Meihua, enraged, could only return to her bed to sleep, blaming Feng Ying in her heart and even feeling that she had lost face in front of Xia Xiao, suspecting that Xia Xiao might be laughing at her.
Xia Xiao was unaware of Dong Meihua’s thoughts. She too was drowsy and extremely sleepy. She waved at Yang Xuehua, "Sister Xuehua, that’s enough, I’m going back to bed now."
"Alright," Yang Xuehua responded, and everyone went back to sleep in their own beds.
After everyone went to sleep, they worked half the day in the fields the next morning before the team leader announced a half-day rest, and they could start early the next day. Xia Xiao and the others were relieved to have half a day of rest.
"Team leader, someone from above has come. The secretary sent me to inform you and wants everyone to come over," a man said.
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly headed towards the team office.
At that time, the production team office was called the team office, and when everyone arrived, they saw Li Zhenchuan talking with two other individuals.
Xia Xiao recognized one of them as the train conductor Fang Yuan; this name was particularly memorable because of its uniqueness.
"This is our commune’s Mr. Cheng and the Ministry of Railways’ Comrade Fang Yuan," Li Zhenchuan introduced to Gao Guoqiang.
Gao Guoqiang shook hands with Mr. Cheng and Fang Yuan, still unclear about their purpose. Although commune officials often inspected the production teams, Mr. Cheng was unfamiliar to Gao Guoqiang until Li Zhenchuan explained, "Mr. Cheng will be responsible for inspecting the production work in our area from now on."
Gao Guoqiang nodded, acknowledging the introduction.
Fang Yuan’s eyes lit up when he saw Xia Xiao in the crowd, "Educated Youth Xia, you’re here! We were just looking for you."
"Comrade Fang Yuan, hello," Xia Xiao greeted with a slight smile and nod.
Mr. Cheng looked at Xia Xiao, "Are you the educated youth Xia Xiao from S City?"
"Hello, Mr. Cheng, yes, I’m the educated young Xia Xiao from S City," Xia Xiao replied quickly.
Mr. Cheng expressed his surprise, "Appearances can be deceiving. Educated Youth Xia, you did well. This time, you acted righteously on the train, protected the property of women and children, and helped the conductor catch the thief. You deserve praise."
Xia Xiao was embarrassed and when Mr. Cheng mentioned, "I heard that there was another person with Educated Youth Xia initially, a colleague returning home from the army, is he here?"
"Yes, that’s Comrade He Xuebing," Xia Xiao replied.
He Xuebing also came forward, and Mr. Cheng couldn’t help but give a thumbs up upon seeing him, "I didn’t expect that we had such excellent individuals in our county. Well done, you have brought honor to our county. Comrade He and Educated Youth Xia’s bravery and spirit on the train are commendable."
Only then did everyone realize that Xia Xiao had done another good deed when she returned from the city, witnessing the leaders commend her even at the production team. They looked at Xia Xiao with envy and jealousy, but many were happy for her.
Applause broke out as everyone clapped for He Xuebing and Xia Xiao; Dong Meihua was already jealous to the point of tears in the crowd, while Gao Jiaxing only had one thought: that damn thief.
He Xuebing and Xia Xiao were surrounded by everyone, and Fang Yuan was thrilled, whispering to Xia Xiao as he left, "I will write you a letter."
Xia Xiao was speechless as Gao Jiaxing and He Xuebing watched Fang Yuan, and even Gu Weiguo raised an eyebrow.
Unfortunately, at that moment, Fang Yuan had eyes only for Xia Xiao, ignoring the surroundings as Xia Xiao waved goodbye to Mr. Cheng and Fang Yuan.
Then Li Zhenchuan and the team leader again highlighted the honor He Xuebing and Xia Xiao brought to the production team, urging everyone to learn from He Xuebing and Xia Xiao.
Li Shengmei was initially happy that her son was being praised but felt less joy since Xia Xiao was also commended.
Back at the He Family, He Hongjun was proud that his son had been honored, feeling proud and proud of his son’s glory.
He Xuebing said, "Dad, I’m heading back to the army soon."
"Alright, be careful on your way," He Hongjun didn’t say much.
Li Shengmei said, "Then I’ll prepare the oxcart at the team office."
He Hongjun waved her off, "You must not go."
"But why? Surely you can’t expect the son to walk into the city. That’s quite far," Li Shengmei protested.
"Well, now that he’s in the army, he must endure hardship. If he can’t handle some discomfortpatibility decorative.""", better to walk to the city on foot," He Hongjun said.
"Yes," He Xuebing responded.
Meanwhile, Xia Xiao returned to the dormitory, and her roommates gathered around to see her certificate, chattering.
Yang Xuehua said, "Xia Xiao, you really kept it a secret well. You managed to hold back from talking about such a big event."
"Yes, it’s truly something good," Wang Aihua also nodded.
Xia Xiao smiled and said, "I didn’t expect the thief to come towards me. He probably thought he could use a weak woman like me as a hostage, but he didn’t expect to be hit by a brick."
Sun Yuhua remarked, "You carry a brick on a train?"
