Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 126
"Pfft!"

Xu Jichang's tall body made a big splash on the river.

Once in the water, the icy, rushing water rushed over him, trying to push him forward.

Xu Jichang stretched his legs and stepped on the water twice, rowed to the side of the little girl whose cries for help were getting smaller and smaller, and stretched out his arms to wrap her around: "Don't panic, I'll take you ashore."

The little girl, who was still struggling, felt Xu Jichang's strong arm, and when she heard his words, she immediately hugged him tightly and refused to let go, and her crying stopped.

Just like this, Xu Jichang hugged her petite body with one hand and paddled to the bank of the river with the other.

Immediately there was applause on the shore and on the bridge.

"Good job comrade!"

"Thanks to him, otherwise the little girl would have been washed away."

"Oh, how brave this young man is!"

There were praises one after another from the passers-by, and those who lived nearby took out towels and hot tea from their homes and handed them to Xu Jichang.

The person who helped keep the clothes brought over the coat and trousers that he had taken off earlier.

Xu Jichang took the towel and wiped off the water on her hair and body. He put the little girl on the ground, and an old woman gently pressed her stomach to help her spit out the water she drank.

Another aunt was beside her, using a towel to dry the water on her face and hair.

"Wow... woah..."

After spitting out several sips of the water she drank, the little girl looked better, and the bruise on her face eased, but she was still a little pale due to panic.

"Don't be afraid, you are safe now."

Xu Jichang wiped off the water on his body, took his own clothes from a passerby and put them on, comforting the little girl.

Only then did he realize that the little girl he had rescued was born in a delicate and delicate shape, even her pale complexion could not conceal the abnormal cuteness on her face.

"Um...um, thank you...thank you big brother."

The little girl was still in shock, and wiped her tears with her hands. She was out of breath because of her weakness and said, "I was standing by the river just now, no... I fell down by accident. There is no one to save me." , I... I will die."

Xu Jichang touched the little girl's freshly dried hair, comforting her softly,

"Don't be afraid, it's not going well now."

"Tell me where your home is, and I'll take you home."

"I...my house is not here, my parents in the bedroom brought relatives here."

The little girl came back to her senses after passing by his comfort, and pointed to the street ahead, "My relative's house is right there."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Xu Jichang said.

Because the little girl was too weak after falling into the water and could not walk, Xu Jichang chose to hold her in his arms with one hand, push the bicycle with the other hand, and walked towards the house she pointed out just now.

Knocking on the door and entering the house, Xu Jichuang saw the little girl's parents, a well-dressed middle-aged couple, and handed the child into their arms.

The middle-aged couple was shocked when they saw their daughter was dripping wet, and immediately hugged the child.

"I just... fell into the water, and this big brother saved me..."

The little girl looked at her mother weakly and said, then looked at Xu Jichang.

The middle-aged couple immediately felt very grateful to Xu Jichang.

"Comrade, thank you very much."

When the little girl's mother carried her to the bedroom to take a bath and change clothes, the child's father held Xu Jichang's hand and asked him to sit down at the table, and said with tears in his eyes, "This child is the heart of our Chen family. She saved our family."

"Go take a hot bath first, and I'll ask my relatives to go out and buy some clothes for you to change into."

"Also, may I ask your first and last name? Which unit do you work in?"

When he was talking, his relatives had already brought the tea, and they also kept thanking Xu Jichang.

The little girl's aunt also walked out of the house under the entrustment of her parents to buy new clothes for Xu Jichang.

"My name is Xu Jichang, and I work at the Dongfang Chemical Fertilizer Factory."

Hearing the family's thanks, Xu Jichang was about to say something, but was attracted by the little girl's name, and his expression moved slightly: "By the way, your child...is called Chen Xiaoxu, right?"

"Yes, you know someone with the same name as her?"

"No, I'll just ask, she is from Ancheng, right?"

"Yeah, you're right. Our family came from Ancheng to visit relatives. I didn't expect this to happen in the middle. It's unfortunate that you came to help in time..."

"You can't sit idly by when this kind of thing happens, I'm going to take a shower first."

Xu Jichang said to the little girl's father, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Chen Xiaoxu...

Ancheng Ren's current age is also about nine or ten years old.

I rescued a little girl who fell into the water, and actually rescued sister Daiyu in the red building...

This should be regarded as saving an important talent for the performing arts of the motherland, right?

Xu Jichang was lost in thought, until he entered another bedroom of their house to take a bath, he was still thinking about it.

These days, most people don't have a separate bathroom, and they either wash in their own home, or wash in a bathhouse outside the time zone when it's extremely cold.

When Xu Jichang finished taking a shower, the relatives of the Chen family had already bought a new suit from inside to outside, and handed it to him through the crack of the door.

Xu Jichang put on new clothes and went out of the bedroom. Seeing Xiao Daiyu also changed into dry clothes, his mother led him out from the next bedroom, expressing his gratitude to him.

"Thank you big brother, you saved my life, I... I will always remember your kindness and repay you..."

Xiao Daiyu said in a childish voice, looking at Xu Jichang with bright eyes.

Xu Jichang reached out and touched her head: "It's right to reach out to help when you encounter a situation. Take care of your health at ease, and be careful when you are near the water in the future."

"Yeah... I remember, thank you big brother..."

Xiao Daiyu nodded obediently.

"Comrade Xu, sit here and have dinner here in the evening."

"When the child recovers tomorrow, we will take her to your house to thank you. Where is your house? When is it convenient?"

At this time, Xiao Daiyu's mother sat at the table holding her, her eyes full of gratitude.

Xu Jichang drank a bowl of ginger soup brought by the relatives of the Chen family, put down the bowl and shook his head: "I appreciate your kindness, but I still have to go to work."

"My house is at No. 200 Renmin West Road in the county seat. You just follow the signboard and sign for it. You don't have to worry about the time. I'll be free when I come again on the weekend morning."

Father Chen nodded quickly: "Okay Comrade Xu, then it will be on the weekend, everything is at your convenience."

"Okay, then I wish Xiaoxu recovers as soon as possible, and I'll go first."

"Brother, go slowly..."

At this time, without waiting for her parents to say anything, Xiao Daiyu got out of her mother's arms, stretched out her little hand to hold Xu Jichang's big hand, and wanted to take him to the door with her parents.

Xu Ji saw that her gait was still a little flimsy, so he hugged her into his arms: "Take care of her well, come to big brother's house this weekend, and I will tell you a story."

"Yeah, thank you big brother, I will work hard to take care of my body."

Xiao Daiyu promised in his arms.

……

Amid the gratitude of Chen Xiaoxu's parents and her relatives, Xu Jichang went out, put the changed wet clothes into the basket, and rode his bicycle back to work.

After arriving at the unit, he parked his bicycle, put his wet clothes into a cloth bag given by Chen's relatives, and carried the bag into the office.

As soon as he stepped into the office door, he was surrounded by compliments.

"Mr. Xu, we have all heard that you saved a little girl on the way to work today. You did a great job."

"Yes, when you didn't come just now, the director had already come to our office and praised you once, saying that you are a good comrade who acts bravely in righteousness, and a model of cadres in the new era."

Excitement and admiration appeared in Du Xiaojing's eyes. He was busy making tea for him, buying snacks for him at the supply and marketing agency in the factory, and taking all his clothes to the boiler room of the unit to bake for him. Dry.

After a while, Director Qian and the cadres of the factory trade union also came over, bringing pens, fruits, snacks and other condolences, and commended Xu Jichang.

On the morning of the weekend, Xiao Daiyu, who had recovered, was brought by her parents and came to Xu Jichang's home to thank her.

Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Jichang opened the courtyard door and invited Chen's father and mother in.

Seeing that they were packed full, Xu Jichang hastily extended his hand to refuse: "There are too many things, you brought too many things."

Father Chen shook his head gratefully: "Not much, not much, not much at all."

Chen's mother also expressed her gratitude on the side: "You saved our Xiaoxu's life, no amount of things can express our gratitude to you."

Xiao Daiyu stretched out both hands, embraced Xu Jichang's arm and shook it,

"Big brother, do you know that I was really scared when I fell into the water, and I was worried that I was going to die."

"Thanks to your timely shot, otherwise I would have been submerged in the water."

"So you don't have to be polite today."

Xu Jichang was amused by her cute appearance: "The kid is so good, go in, big brother treats you to toffee."

Inviting Xiao Daiyu and her parents into the house, Xu Jichang entertained them with some toffee that he took out from the space earlier.

"Brother, you have so many toffee in your house."

Xiao Daiyu took the toffee from Xu Jichang's hand, peeled it off and wanted to put it in the water glass.

Toffee is a rarity these days.

Even people who have the conditions to get toffee will not eat it directly in their mouths, that would be too extravagant, but put it in a cup to soak it and drink it as milk.

"You don't need to soak it, just put it in your mouth and eat it, there are so many more."

Xu Jichang stopped him, and took the lead in demonstrating how to peel a toffee and put it in his mouth.

Seeing him eating like this, Xiao Daiyu looked at her parents again to confirm that they allowed her to do this, and then peeled off the toffee and put it in her mouth.

Her face is small, and the cheek on one side becomes bulging after sucking toffee, which looks really cute.

"Thank you big brother, your toffee is really delicious."

At the same time, Xiao Daiyu did not forget to thank her in a vague voice.

Xu Jichang patted Xiao Daiyu's head, chatted with her parents, and after receiving their sincere thanks, introduced their work and life.

During the conversation, Xu Jichang learned that her parents are both literary and art workers, and now her parents are considering their daughter's future.

Her father wanted her daughter to learn Peking Opera from him, while Xiao Daiyu herself wanted to learn ballet from her mother. Right now, the family is a little undecided.

“Peking opera and ballet are pretty good.”

Xu Jichang did not directly express his opinion after listening, but said lightly, "As long as it conforms to the direction of literature and art in the future, whatever you do will have a future."

Seeing what he said, Chen's father and Chen's mother exchanged glances with each other.

"Then Section Chief Xu, what do you think the direction of literature and art will be in the future?"

Father Chen asked sincerely.

Xu Ji often saw Chen's father sincerely asking questions, and after thinking about it, he decided to reveal something to him, "Let's be an actor. Our country's material culture will definitely become more and more abundant in the future, and everyone's entertainment methods will definitely become more and more modern."

"What kind of movies, TV dramas, more and more people will definitely watch them. Actors will definitely have a future."

Anyway, this kind of thing doesn't involve future policy changes or anything, so it's okay to tell the Chen family.

Be an actor?
It sounds like a good one.

After hearing this, Chen's father and Chen's mother felt that what Xu Jichang said was very reasonable, and they also admired his insight.

"Then start as a drama actor. Most of the actors I know are from drama."

Father Chen nodded and said, "It just so happens that there is a drama school in your county that is well-known throughout the province. The principal is my friend. I will send Xiaoxu here when she is on winter vacation."

"Then tell me when the time comes, and I'll help you take care of the children's food and accommodation."

Xu Jichang looked at Chen's father and Chen's mother with kind faces, and then thought that the little girl in front of him was the future Daiyu, and finally proposed.

"That's so embarrassing...you have already saved her life, how can we continue to trouble you..."

"That is, unless you agree to charge us for board and lodging."

"No, no, the things you sent today are already enough, just treat them as board and lodging expenses."

"This is to thank you for saving your life. It's not the same thing. Let's make an agreement. When Xiaoxu comes over, we will give you five yuan a month for board and lodging. You must accept it."

"Yes, big brother, my parents taught me since I was a child, not to use other people's things for nothing..."

……

In the end, the two parties negotiated and decided that Xiao Daiyu would come here to learn drama during the winter vacation and live in Xu Jichang's house, and her parents would pay Xu Jichang five yuan a month.

It was agreed that Xu Jichang would stay with Xiao Daiyu and her parents for lunch at his home, and send them out of the hospital after the meal.

"Big brother, see you on winter vacation."

Before leaving, Xiao Daiyu waved her hands and smiled sweetly.

"See you on winter vacation."

Xu Jichang waved his hand and said, "I'll treat you to toffee later."

After seeing off Xiao Daiyu and her parents, Xu Jichang went back to the house, feeling the wonder of this world again.

"Tuk Tuk..."

Not long after, the courtyard door was knocked again.

Is there something left behind by Xiao Daiyu's family?Or is someone else coming?
Anyway, it won't be Zhu Chen and Du Xiaojing, both of them have business outside today.

Xu Jichang thought to himself, got up and went to the courtyard to open the door, just as he reached the door, he heard Shen's mother's voice: "Are you at home, Jichang?"

At the same time, there was Shen Qingrui's voice: "Brother Jichang, open the door, my mother and sister and I are here to see you."

It turned out to be the mother and daughter of the Shen family.

Xu Jichang stepped forward and opened the door, and saw Shen's mother, Shen Danrui, and Shen Qingrui's sisters holding things in their hands.

All three of them had smiles on their faces, as if they had some happy event.

"Our family had a happy event today, and we want to come to celebrate with you, and also to say thank you to you."

Shen's mother took the lead and said with a smile, and walked to the yard with the two sisters.

happy event?And thank yourself?
Could it be that Shen Qingrui has already joined the school to get paid?

Xu Jichang thought in his heart.

"Auntie's happy event is Qingrui's work?"

"Not only that, but also about Danrui."
