Then there is no more

"My in-laws principal is looking for me, Dabao must have called back!" Mao Chunmei hurried into the room, said a word, and then ran away in a hurry.

Bian Aidang and Bian Laomen couldn't care less about talking, and ran towards the principal's office.Running while feeling old and bored, he thought, it’s not in vain. He has been wearing the new clothes made by his eldest daughter-in-law last year for the past two days. He is finally going to touch the phone.

Mao Chunmei ran to the school, and the vice-principal greeted her at the school gate. After seeing her, she was very happy and said, "Ma'am, the county reporters are here to interview you! Two of them are here and are waiting for you in the principal's office. Ma'am, Don't be nervous, you can answer whatever the reporter asks."

Mao Chunmei was stunned.Bian Aidang and Bian Laomen who followed her were also stunned.

The vice principal said to Bian Aidang again: "Teacher Bian, your mother has made outstanding contributions to the education of our town. The reporters in the county knew about it, so they wanted to interview her. You should go too!" The principal looked at Bian Aidang enviously, and Teacher Bian was about to get his mother's attention.

As a progressive comrade who has experienced major events, Mao Chunmei immediately reacted and said to Bian Aidang and Bian Laomen: "Follow me!"

There were two reporters from the county, a man and a woman, both around 20 years old.As soon as the three of Mao Chunmei entered the office, Principal Bian immediately stood up and introduced them.Mao Chunmei sat down in front of the reporter, while Bian Aidang and Bian Laomen sat in front of Principal Bian.

The reporter had learned a lot from Principal Bian beforehand. Comrade Mao Chunmei not only actively helped out-of-school children, but also devoted herself to safeguarding women's rights and interests. She was an enthusiastic, kind and progressive old lady.Therefore, at the beginning of the interview, the reporter was full of respect for Mao Chunmei.

The male reporter asked Mao Chunmei to talk about her mental journey, and Mao Chunmei said with a simple smile that belonged to the working people: "Now is a new society. The great man said that women hold up half the sky. The great man is right. We women have to put the things that belong to us to women. Half of the sky is lifted up..."

The "News Network" I watched with my grandson Bian Jingyu was not in vain. At this critical moment, Comrade Mao did not lose the chain.She described her current work in detail, and called on women to take the initiative to stand up, and called on more people to invest in the protection of women and children.

Of course, Mao Chunmei will never forget to praise her precious grandson.In order not to make the topic seem too abrupt, Mao Chunmei first talked about the importance of reading, and then brought out her super capable grandson.Reading can change one's destiny. My grandson loves reading and is very capable!

Of course the reporters knew about the little genius in the town, and quickly wrote down on paper: Genius begins with diligence, genius begins with reading.

The female reporter asked Mao Chunmei to talk about the difficulties she encountered along the way. Mao Chunmei sighed first, and then said: "There are indeed difficulties, but here I would like to solemnly thank my wife for always supporting me. Work..." Mao Chunmei thought to herself, she has praised Lao Men so much, will she not feel inferior in the future?Hey, my wife is hurting herself, so I'll try my best to brag for my wife first.

Mao Chunmei said that when she was young, Bian Laomen was kind to her. Once, a dog barked at her, and he bared his teeth to scare the dog.

Bian Lao thought to himself, when did I do this, how come I don’t remember it?

The female reporter was very moved when she heard it, and couldn't help but glanced at Bian Laomen, and happened to meet Bian Laomen's blank eyes. She smiled politely at Bian Laomen, then lowered her head and wrote on the paper: When the aunt talked about these things, I saw a touch of tenderness in the eyes of the uncle.

Mao Chunmei also said that Bian Laomen has always respected her and loved him, and the two of them have never quarreled in their lives.

What can I do? I can't argue even if I want to!Bian Laomen refuted in his heart very straightforwardly.

The female reporter was very envious, observed the expression on Bian Laomen's face, and wrote on the paper: At this moment, a simple and shy smile appeared on the uncle's face.Facing the praise from the aunt, the uncle thought that he had only done what a man should do, and it was not worth mentioning.

Mao Chunmei went on to say that now she often runs out and neglects her own home, but Bian Laomen not only has no complaints, but also supports her work with practical actions.Therefore, she hoped that the reporter could write down Bian Laomen's name, so that the world would know that half of Bian Laomen's was included in her military medals.Mao Chunmei concluded that if all men were like Bian Laomen and allowed women to stand out, women would really be able to hold up half the sky.

Wait, Dabao's grandma, it's Bian Lai Shun, Bian!Come!Shun!Lao Men is a nickname given by the folks.Old Bian opened his mouth in despair.

The female reporter quickly wrote on the paper: Bian Laotan is such a simple and unpretentious name, but this name has become full of meaning because of the uncle's behavior.From Zhishou Village to other villages, you need to walk on a mountain road, and every section of the mountain road has the footprints of the aunt and the uncle.

The interview ended perfectly, and finally the reporter asked to take a group photo of Mao Chunmei and Bian Laomen.It was the first time for the two elderly people to take pictures, Mao Chunmei was a little nervous, and Bian Laomen was even more nervous.He was so nervous that his palms were sweating, he didn't want to rub his new clothes, and rubbed all over his son.

Not long after seeing off the reporter, Bian Jingyu called.Principal Bian handed the microphone to Mao Chunmei.

Bian's dull eyes couldn't help but light up.In fact, he has never been able to understand why they can talk to their relatives far away through this small machine.But the more he didn't understand, the more itchy he felt.He especially wanted to know what it was like to make a phone call!

"Grandma, we've arrived." Bian Jingyu said on the phone, "We're already at Xiaoyi's house."

Mao Anni took a day off on purpose to wait for Bian Jingyu and the others at home.She was afraid that He Guihua would feel that their family did not provide enough hospitality, so she didn't even prepare a guest room for Bian Jingyu, so she could only tell He Guihua very embarrassed that Shen Yi missed Bian Jingyu so much that she couldn't do without him.But in fact, He Guihua prefers this arrangement.In their countryside, how common it is for children to live in the same room. Several Fengs slept together, and Bian Jingyu still lived in Mao Chunmei's house. They never felt wronged.In He Guihua's view, the Shen family's arrangement of Bian Jingyu in Shen Yi's room meant that they treated the two children the same. Bian Jingyu ate and lived with Shen Yi, so she would definitely not be wronged.

"Is the journey hard? Did your mother and third uncle take good care of you?" Mao Chunmei shouted into the phone.She knew that the capital was far away, and she felt that since she and her grandson were so far away, if she didn't shout louder, her grandson would definitely not be able to hear clearly.

Bian Jingyu was almost deaf by Mao Chunmei.

Old Bian followed Mao Chunmei silently, secretly pricked up his ears, trying to hear the voice on the phone.

"Grandma, I'm fine." Bian Jingyu put the microphone a little away from her ears, "When I'm not at home, grandma should take care of yourself."

"Dabao is good, grandma is good!" Before the whole call lasted for a minute, Mao Chunmei had already decided to hang up, "They all said that calling is very expensive, let's hang up. You live at Xiaoyi's house, and you can use it to make calls." It's their money, let's not say a few words. Hurry up and hang up?"

Bian Laomen walked around Mao Chunmei, I haven't touched the phone yet, touch it for me!

Mao Chunmei didn't know how to hang up the phone, so she handed the receiver to Principal Bian.Old Bian watched helplessly as Principal Bian put the microphone back.

It's a pity that I don't have the life to touch the phone in my life!Bian Lao followed Mao Chunmei out of the principal's office depressedly.

Bian Aidang bumped Mao Chunmei with his elbow, motioned her to look back at Bian Laomen, and said softly, "Mom, what's wrong with Dad?"

Mao Chunmei thought about it seriously, but she couldn't think of a reason for Bian Laomen's sadness, so she stopped and asked, "Are you hungry for cigarettes? Want to smoke tobacco leaves?"

Bian Laomen was obsessed with the disappointment that he didn't receive the call - he had been preparing to answer the call from the moment Bian Jingyu left home - he didn't hear what Mao Chunmei said clearly , He only faintly heard a sentence pattern of "Thinking about it", he shook his head quickly, and said sullenly: "I didn't want to answer the phone..." He didn't want to admit his little thoughts in front of his son and wife !

Mao Chunmei: "..."

Bian Ai Dang: "..."

Mao Chunmei gave Bian Aidang a hard look, and said, "You did too! Dabao called, didn't you know your dad answered it?"

Bian Ai Dang: "..."

It's none of my business!Bian Aidang thought aggrievedly.

Mao Chunmei led Bian Laomen back to Principal Bian's office.

In the distant capital city, not long after Bian Jingyu hung up the phone, the Shen family's phone rang.Bian Jingyu didn't think it was a call from her hometown, so she pushed Shen Yi to answer it.Shen Yi didn't look at the caller ID, so she called hello twice, but didn't hear the voice from the other side, feeling strange in her heart.

In Principal Bian's office, Mao Chunmei only moved her lips without making a sound. She encouraged her wife and said, "Speak up!"

Old Bian was carrying the phone with a dull expression on his face, so nervous that he couldn't hold back a word for a long time, and the only thinking ability he had was used to refresh the screen in his head.

Touch the phone, touch the phone, touch the phone...

Say something, say something, say something...

I don't know if my posture for holding the phone is right or not...

This life is worth it...

Mao Chunmei felt that she was really not enough to be impatient with Mr. Bian, so she pinched him on the back and said, "Say whatever you want! You are talking!"

Principal Bian and Bian Aidang watched from the sidelines, feeling anxious for Mr. Bian. The more they watched, the more anxious they became, and their hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Hello? Excuse me, who are you? If you don't say anything, I'm going to hang up." Shen Yi's polite voice came from the phone.

Bian Laomen didn't pay attention to what was said on the other end of the phone at all, and stifled a slip of the tongue: "Master, I'm your treasure!"
