Chapter 768 Kneeling in the Snow
Chapter 768 Kneeling in the Snow
Life is really boring these days, especially now during the winter. Everyone is in the same yard, so we get together almost every day, doing our work and chatting about gossip.
Or just teach the kids.
In fact, the main reason is that these people are unemployed now.
I don’t know what the people in the office building are thinking. Anyway, the forest district chief has taken office, but there is no intention to fill the vacant positions in various departments and units with employees.
It’s like, I know you are very anxious, but I just sit back and watch you get anxious.
Right now, everyone was listening to Zhao Jinhua talking about the gossip outside, saying that Yin Fangfang was really at her wit's end and had no way to deal with those tricky residents.
He even brought out his sister-in-law, who was treated like a fairy at home, and let her lead the charge.
Zhao Jinhua: "Let the little girl do the verbal battle up front, and she doesn't have to say anything in the back. The key is that this little girl really has some explosive power. When her voice explodes, it's really powerful. She really scared those old-timers. In just a short while, she has already collected data from an entire courtyard!"
Ye Shu smiled and said, "Then I hope they can work more efficiently."
She was wondering if the delay in completing the work at the government agency was due to the re-counting and allocation of housing.
Because once there is a job change, new interests will definitely be involved, and then the work on the house will become more difficult.
As we were chatting, we suddenly heard the children's voices from under the eaves outside: "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
Because soldiers from the garrison area have been working near the compound recently, the soldiers of the cycling team have also listed this area as a key patrol area.
So the gate of the compound was no longer closed as before.
Ye Shu and the others heard the noise, lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw an old woman holding a little girl's hand, standing under the eaves of the corridor leading to the courtyard gate.
Hearing Guaiguai's question, her back, which was not straight to begin with, seemed to bend even further. She asked in a gentle voice, "My last name is Xia. I'd like to speak to Comrade Tang or Comrade Ye."
Mrs. Tang lifted the curtain and went out, asking, "What do you want to talk to us about?"
Mrs. Xia knew Mrs. Tang. When she saw her, she immediately took the child in her hand and walked a few steps to Mrs. Tang.
He didn't care whether it was snowing or not, or how thick the snow was or how cold the ground was. He just grabbed the little girl's hand, pressed her shoulders, and forced her to kneel on the ground.
Mrs. Xia seemed to have difficulty moving, and she knelt down a beat later.
Her action was so unexpected that Mrs. Tang had not anticipated it at all. When she tried to help the little girl, she must have neglected the old woman.
As a result, the grandfather and grandson knelt together in the snow.
Mrs. Tang couldn't help the younger one, let alone the older one. She immediately became angry and said, "Grandma Xia, what are you doing? Is there anything you can't say nicely?"
Grandma Xia raised her head, her old eyes were red and there were tears on her face.
It seemed like I wanted to kowtow to her the next second!
Mrs. Tang had never seen such a scene before. She was immediately shocked and obviously at a loss. She subconsciously wanted to help the two of them up: "Hurry up and get up, don't do this..."
But it was obvious that the more panicked and helpless she was, the more determined Old Lady Xia was to kneel on the ground.
At this moment, a hand reached out from behind Mrs. Tang, held her arm, and brought her to the side of Grandma Xia and her granddaughter, keeping a certain distance away.
It’s Ye Shu.
Seeing her three-dimensional, delicate and beautiful profile and meeting her determined eyes, Mrs. Tang felt inexplicably relieved and less panicked. She followed Ye Shu's strength and stood by the side.
Old Lady Xia actually knew Ye Shu, but she had only seen her from afar and had never met her.
But there was a lot of talk about Ye Shu around her. She heard people say that Ye Shu was a very difficult woman to get along with.
Now that they met up close, the first thing she thought was that she was pretty. She was really pretty!
She has a good temperament, is clean and neat, and seems to be high and mighty, with a sense of transcendence.
The whole person is thin and weak, and seems to be even softer and easier to talk to than Mrs. Tang.
Grandma Xia saw this and was delighted. She wanted to continue by explaining her purpose.
Before she could say anything, she saw the woman in front of her, whom she thought was weak, reach out and hold one of her arms, and with the other hand, she grabbed the arm of her granddaughter beside her. She didn't know how much strength she used, but she lifted up the two of them.
Ye Shu did not let go immediately, but took a step forward, forcing them to take a step back.
Granny Xia was horrified. How could this be?!
This woman looks so thin, how come her hands are so strong?
I was caught by her, and I don't know why, but it seems like I can't move at all?!
why? !
When she looked at Ye Shu again, her eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
Ye Shu had been observing the changes in Grandma Xia's expression, and saw that she clearly felt that she had no chance of winning against him.
Then he said, "Grandma Xia, the snow is slippery. You have to walk slowly, otherwise it's easy to fall, just like you did just now. Are you hurt?"
In one sentence, her deliberate act of kneeling down with her granddaughter was described as an accidental fall caused by slipping in the snow.
Grandma Xia moved her mouth, but she didn't say anything yet.
Ye Shu's words came again:
"Especially people of your age, you need to be more careful. If you fall down accidentally, it can easily lead to dangerous consequences, such as fractures and paralysis. The risks are very high!"
"So you must be careful!"
Granny Xia's expression changed again and again, and in the end she could only force a smile and said:
"You are such a talker, little girl! I am always in good health and not that fragile."
Ye Shu smiled faintly and nodded: "Of course, you are in good health, but you still need to be careful."
She was still holding the arms of the grandparents and grandchildren, and only then did she exert a little force and remind them:
"Can you stand still? If not, there are a lot of soldiers patrolling outside. I'll call them over and help take you to the hospital for a checkup. Could it be that you were injured in that fall just now?"
The smile on Grandma Xia's face stiffened again, and she thought to herself, this woman is really scheming!
He is really good at talking. He can turn white into black in just a few words!
The key point was that her sense of strength, which was completely different from her appearance, really frightened her, so she could only smile and say, "It's okay, it's okay. We're fine. No need to get checked."
Ye Shu smiled faintly and asked, "Can you stand properly?"
Granny Xia nodded: "Yes."
