Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Yeah." Yu Congcong replied in a low voice.

She was too shy to look up and buried her little head deeply in Nan Yi's arms.

Nan Yi held the little person in his arms and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Ever since her mother passed away, this girl's body seemed to have stagnated at that moment. Now she is eight years old, but her height is still the same as when she was four or five years old, and her weight is still as light as before.

"Grandpa Nan, Tiezhu and I found a radio station." Yu Congcong said after adjusting his mood.

"Oh? How did you find it? Where did you find it?" Nan Yi asked curiously.

"We found it after following Heizi." Yu Congcong replied excitedly.

"You didn't touch that thing, did you?" Nan Yi asked anxiously.

"No, we didn't move." Yu Congcong responded.

"Well, Congcong is really smart. We still don't know which side Heizi belongs to, so we must not act rashly." Nan Yi warned earnestly.

"Grandpa Nan, does my discovery of the radio station prove that I have the ability to join your plan?" Yu Congcong asked cautiously, with anticipation in her eyes.

Grandpa Nan looked at Yu Congcong and said slowly: "Yu Congcong, you are still too young. If you run into a bad guy, you won't be able to run away."

"Grandpa Nan, don't worry, I will first determine whether there is any danger. If there is any danger, I will report it to the adults immediately. We will not leave the village. Besides, you can't let children leave the village!" Yu Congcong grabbed Nan Yi's hand, shook it hard, and said anxiously.

Nan Yi was so shaken by her that he had no choice but to agree.

Yu Congcong persuaded Grandpa Nan to agree to let her join the plan, and then she and Tiezhu went home happily.

On the way home, he met Goudan. Goudan looked at Yu Congcong and hesitated to speak. Yu Congcong touched his face and asked, "What's wrong?" Yu Congcong was puzzled. Tiezhu asked directly, "Goudan, what's wrong?"

Goudan said embarrassedly, "Widow Wang, I told you that you can talk." Yu Congcong and Tiezhu looked at each other, as if saying that they were exposed.

Tie Zhu asked with a bad expression: "It has spread. How long has it been spreading?"

Goudan replied: "We talked about it this morning by the lake."

Goudan asked, "Can you really speak now?"

Tiezhu waved his hands loudly and said, "It's none of your business. Go away, get out of the way."

Goudan looked at Tiezhu's expression and was so scared that he turned around and ran away.

Tiezhu complained: "Sixth Grandma, she will die if she doesn't open her mouth wide for one day! How annoying!"

Yu Congcong didn't take it seriously and said, "It's okay, if you know, then know. You'll know sooner or later anyway. I don't have to keep silent anymore. It's getting dark, I'll go home quickly!"

Tiezhu and Yu Congcong walked home together. Tiezhu first sent Yu Congcong home and then went back himself.

When Yu Congcong returned home, her grandmother and adoptive father had already returned.

As soon as Yu Congcong saw his adoptive father, he ran over happily and said, "Dad, Grandpa Nan agreed to let me join the plan. You can't hide anything about this plan from me in the future." Yu Congcong's face was full of pride.

Yu Dazhuang responded with a smile on his face: "Okay, Dad will report to you." Yu Dazhuang found it funny. This plan could be completed after Fourth Uncle went out. There was nothing else to do. The master must be teasing her.

Yu Congcong asked excitedly: "Dad, what is your next plan?"

"We'll make our next plan after the busy summer season." Yu Dazhuang answered seriously.

Yu Congcong nodded, thinking that she was indeed too busy recently. Then, she said to her grandmother who was watching them laughing and talking, "Grandma, this morning Widow Wang spread the news that I could speak."

"It's okay, grandma will pay attention to it, and you don't have to hold it in anymore. Just let it go." Grandma said kindly.

In this way, a day passed and the village began its busy summer season.

My adoptive father worked in the fields every day and was very busy; my grandmother also went out to help cook and serve tea, and she was never idle. In the fields, people were sweating profusely under the scorching sun. Some people bent over and worked hard to harvest crops; some people carried heavy loads and transported rice back and forth; and the children were not idle either. They shuttled through the paths in the fields, chasing and playing, or helping to pass things. Some children followed the adults, imitating the adults' movements, and picked up the wheat ears that were missed in the fields in a very realistic way. Some older children took the initiative to take on the task of delivering water to the adults. They carried kettles and walked carefully on the ridges of the fields, fearing that a drop of water would be spilled. Some children were weaving various small gadgets with grass leaves under the trees by the fields, or drawing interesting patterns on the ground with branches. Their laughter and joy echoed in the fields, adding a bit of vitality and vigor to this busy scene. Under the scorching sun, the children's faces are filled with innocent smiles, as if they have forgotten the heat and fatigue. In this busy summer, they experience the hardship of labor and the joy of harvest. The whole village is immersed in a busy and lively atmosphere.

That day, the summer work was just over, and Grandma and Yu Congcong were enjoying the coolness under the big tree in the yard. Widow Wang came in, fanning herself, "Sister Xiaocao, are you home?"

Xiao Cao said, "Why are you coming to my house today?"

"I have a happy event today. I'm here to propose marriage to your child." Widow Wang answered with a smile.

Xiaocao raised her eyebrows. No wonder a girl likes my Dazhuang. She was quite happy thinking about it. Yu Congcong also came over. She came to propose a match to Dad. I want to hear who the girl is. There are no suitable girls in the village? Yu Congcong was a little confused.

Xiao Cao smiled and asked, "Whose?"

Widow Wang kept the secret and said, "His family and your Jianji family are a match made in heaven."

Xiao Cao asked anxiously, "Whose family are you from? Stop talking nonsense." Widow Wang replied, "Er Lengzi's family." Xiao Cao said at a loss, "Didn't the two girls from Er Lengzi's family get sold? Why are they back?"

Widow Wang said anxiously, "Why is it a girl? I was talking about his boy. I told your Ya Ya about it."

When Xiaocao heard this, she cursed, "Bullshit! He's such a scoundrel and he still dares to dream of taking advantage of my Congcong. Get out of here." Xiaocao pushed Widow Wang out of the house.

Widow Wang hurriedly said, "Sister Xiaocao, calm down. If you don't agree, I will refuse. Don't be angry. His family is not okay. Look at my family. My Yuanbao can wait until Congcong is 18 before sharing a room. We can book it first."

Xiaocao couldn't bear it anymore and picked up the broom: "Are you going to get out of here or not?" Widow Wang ran away in fear.

Everyone thought that the matter was over, but the next day, there was a rumor in the village that Xiaocao wanted to leave Yaya to Dazhuang as his wife. Grandma was furious when she heard this, and she picked up a broom and rushed to Widow Wang's house to smash and destroy everything.

He cursed, "Widow Wang, you are such a wicked person, I asked you to spread rumors. Did your mother forget to wipe her mouth clean when she gave birth to you? You just spit shit at me."

"Sister Xiaocao, it has nothing to do with me. I didn't spread it. I haven't gone out since I came back yesterday. You can ask everyone." Widow Wang explained hurriedly.

The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment. You asked me who said that, and he asked her who said that. In this conversation, Widow Wang really had nothing to do with it.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "It was Erlengzi's eldest son who spread it."

"Erlengzi's eldest son" is such a wicked guy, everyone said in unison.

Xiaocao was furious after hearing this, so she ran to the kitchen of Widow Wang, picked up a kitchen knife and ran to Erlengzi's house. Everyone was shocked, and someone said, "Go and see, find Dazhuang. Don't let Xiaocao suffer."

Everyone rushed to Erlengzi's house. Gou Wa saw this and ran to find Da Zhuang. Tie Zhu and Yu Cong Cong heard about this and were running over here.

Gou Wa ran over and said, "Uncle Tiezhu, Grandma Xiaocao has gone to Erlengzi's house. Go find Uncle Dazhuang. I can't run any more."

Tiezhu and Yu Congcong ran back together to find Dazhuang.

When they got home, Da Zhuang was about to go out when Yu Cong Cong said breathlessly, "Dad, go help grandma. She went to Er Lengzi's house to settle the accounts."

Yu Dazhuang was puzzled, but he walked towards Erlengzi's house.

Tiezhu and Yu Congcong couldn't keep up and could only run far behind.

When Yu Dazhuang rushed to Erlengzi's house, Xiaocao was running after Erlengzi's son with a knife.

Erlengzi tried to grab the knife but failed and was about to kick Xiaocao. Yu Dazhuang saw this and ran over and kicked Erlengzi.

Erlengzi and Yu Dazhuang started fighting, Erlengzi was defeated and was about to draw his gun, but Dazhuang kicked him away and beat him up.

This time I no longer have to feel as frustrated as I did four years ago, watching my loved ones get hurt.

Yu Dazhuang picked up the gun and pointed it at Erlengzi's head. Erlengzi was so scared that he quickly said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I didn't mean to hurt your mother." Yu Dazhuang knew that now was not the time, so he took the gun back and put it on his waist.

Erlengzi watched without saying a word. The others pulled Xiaocao and snatched the knife away.

Xiaocao did not let Erlengzi's son go either. He waited for Erlengzi's son to stop and catch his breath, then rushed over, sat on him and started punching him violently, beating Erlengzi's son so hard that he looked unrecognizable.

At this time, Xiaocao's face was full of anger, her eyes were spitting fire, and she kept cursing: "You bastard, how dare you spread rumors, I'll beat you to death!" Her fists rained down on her son, as if she wanted to vent all her anger.

After venting her anger, Xiaocao was still in a heavy mood. The village lady comforted Xiaocao and said that it was okay and that no one would take the rumor seriously. Xiaocao was still worried after hearing everyone's advice. Yu Congcong walked over, took her grandmother's hand, and called, "Grandma."

The grass followed the lush pull and stood up from Erlengzi's son.

Xiaocao stroked Yucongcong's head, her eyes full of heartache. Yucongcong shook her head, saying that it was okay and that the rumor could not hurt her.

Yu Dazhuang came over and helped Xiaocao walk home, and everyone also went home.

Tiezhu ran home to find his grandfather. As soon as he got home, he greeted his grandfather and asked him to prepare a betrothal gift for him, saying that he wanted to go to Congcong's house to propose marriage.

Fu Youtian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could he propose marriage by himself? Fu Youtian told his grandson earnestly that it was the elders who had to propose marriage.
