Chapter 2529
Only then did Su Xinghui realize that the daughter of Elder Sister Gu had indeed told her mother about Su Xinghui saving her. He said to Elder Sister Gu, "Elder Sister Gu, please don't be so formal. Just tell your daughter to work hard and live well in the future, and to marry a good young man!"
Elder Sister Gu nodded excitedly and said, "Mm, I will pass your words on to them!"
As she spoke, Elder Sister Gu handed a bag of items to Su Xinghui and said, "Team Leader Su, these are dumplings my family wrapped. Please take them home to eat. They aren't anything fancy, just a little token of our appreciation."
Before Su Xinghui could decline, a young worker said, "Team Leader Su, I also want to thank you. It was you who saved my son!"
It turned out that this worker's son was only about ten years old. Once, when Su Xinghui went to the dormitory area, he happened to run into the son complaining of a stomachache. The worker hadn't taken it seriously, but Su Xinghui felt something was wrong. He suspected it might be an intestinal obstruction and shared his judgment with the worker.
Su Xinghui's words prompted the worker to take action. Su Xinghui personally drove the boy to the hospital. Upon diagnosis, it was indeed an intestinal obstruction that required surgery. The worker didn't have much money on him, so Su Xinghui helped him pay for the surgery, which allowed the boy to be operated on.
Acute intestinal obstruction is a very dangerous emergency. If it hadn't been for Su Xinghui, the worker's son would very likely have been in life-threatening danger. How could this worker not be grateful for Su Xinghui's kindness?
Su Xinghui asked, "Is your son better now?"
The worker replied, "He was better a long time ago. Now his body is very strong; he can eat and sleep well."
Su Xinghui nodded with relief and said, "That's good!"
That worker also stuffed a bag of items into Su Xinghui's hands, saying they were sugar-coated melons made by his own family, and asked Su Xinghui to take them home for his child to eat.
One worker after another was thanking Su Xinghui. They all brought out the best food from their homes and stuffed them into Su Xinghui's arms. Su Xinghui said, "Everyone, please stop stuffing them. I accept your kindness, but how can I carry so much? Even if I take these back, I won't be able to finish them."
Those people then stuffed them into the arms of Xia Song, Lin Zhenhua, and Hao Zebo, insisting that they take them back.
However, there were too many workers, and even with the three of them, they couldn't carry so much stuff.
Yin Deshan said, "How about this, Team Leader Su? Open the trunk of your car and put these things in. You can also put some inside the car. If it really doesn't fit, then so be it. This is everyone's heartfelt wish; you must take them back for your family to have a taste."
Left with no choice, Su Xinghui could only open the car doors. Everyone then put the items into Su Xinghui's trunk, stuffing it so full that it almost wouldn't close.
After much difficulty closing the trunk, they then stuffed items into the car, cramming them into every available space, leaving only enough room for the few of them to sit.
Even so, it was impossible to fit everything from so many workers. In the end, only a small portion was packed in.
No matter how unwilling the workers were, this was all they could do.
Su Xinghui got into the car, and Xia Song, Lin Zhenhua, and Hao Zebo also got in. Su Xinghui waved to everyone from the car window and said, "Goodbye, everyone!"
Yin Deshan said, "Come back and visit when you have time! You must remember us!"
Su Xinghui nodded and said, "If I have the chance, I will definitely come back! I will also remember everyone forever!"
Yin Deshan waved at Su Xinghui and took the lead in clearing a path for Su Xinghui's car. The workers followed him, clearing a path for the vehicle. The car started slowly, and the workers waved their hands together, bidding farewell to Su Xinghui and the others.
At this moment, the eastern sky was already showing a fish-belly white.
Just as the car slowly drove out of the main gate of the Yanfang Group, the group's steam whistle suddenly sounded long and loud. This was to see Su Xinghui and the others off.
Even after their car had driven quite a distance, the long sound of the whistle could still be heard.
The car drove for over ten minutes, exiting the Yanzhong urban area. The four people in the car did not say a word.
Xia Song, sitting in the passenger seat, still hadn't calmed down. The scene just now had been too shocking for him; he felt he would never forget this day for the rest of his life.
To be a cadre, one should be a cadre like Su Xinghui. If one day he could also be loved like this, then everything would be worth it.
Xia Song felt his eyes getting a bit moist. He wanted to wipe them, but felt embarrassed. He looked at Su Xinghui, who was driving, and seemed to notice that Su Xinghui's eyes were also a bit red.
He looked through the rearview mirror at Lin Zhenhua and Hao Zebo in the back seat and similarly found that their eyes also seemed a bit red.
Only then did Xia Song realize that he wasn't the only one who had been moved; it turned out that Su Xinghui could also have red eyes.
The car remained quiet. After a long while, Lin Zhenhua, in order to liven up the atmosphere, said, "Team Leader, bringing so many things back to Jingcheng today, you won't be able to finish them all even by the Spring Festival!"
Su Xinghui looked back at him and said, "I'll just take a few bags back; the rest belong to you all!"
Lin Zhenhua said happily, "Great! Long live the Team Leader!"
Hao Zebo said, "Team Leader, you are truly amazing. This is the first time I've seen someone be an official like you. It would be great if I could be like you in the future!"
Su Xinghui said, "Actually, wanting to be like this isn't difficult. As long as you truly have the interests of the people in your heart, the people will naturally remember you!"
The three of them nodded thoughtfully. Su Xinghui's words had left a deep mark in their hearts, one that would benefit them for a lifetime. ===== CHAPTER 2531 =====
