The road of a wealthy heiress's comeback: from a girl in a mountain village

Chapter 4 Commendation

Han'er, Mom is really proud of your performance today. "This sentence is like a gentle rain, nourishing Ruohan's dry heart.

Just as Ruohan was immersed in deep thought, the door quietly opened and a warm figure came into view.

Mother walked lightly into the room, holding a cup of milk with a tempting aroma in her hand.

She sat down by the bed, her eyes filled with deep affection and care, as if she could soothe all the pain in the world. Although there was a worried tremble in the words, there was more of a tone of immense pride for the daughter.

Ruohan smiled and took the cup, the warm liquid sliding down her throat, bringing comfort and peace of mind from the inside out.

She looked up at her mother with a light in her eyes, a flame of confidence and gratitude for the unconditional support of her family.

Mom, thank you. With your support, I can face any challenge fearlessly. The tacit understanding between mother and daughter doesn't require words, just a glance is enough to convey a thousand words.

The curtains slowly descended at night, and the town was immersed in a peaceful atmosphere. Stars dotted the sky, and a bright moon hung high, casting a soft and pure light.

On such a peaceful night, Ruohan lay quietly in bed, her thoughts like streams under the moon, long and profound.

The thrilling rescue operation during the day was replayed in my mind like a movie, with both fearful memories of hovering on the edge of life and death, and profound insights into the meaning of life.

Thoughts flow, and Ruohan's memories go back to a few years ago. At that time, she was still a naive first year junior high school student. The swimming class at school allowed her to meet the swimming coach who changed her life.

Classmates, today we will start learning the basic postures of breaststroke. "The coach's voice was clear and powerful, demonstrating each movement by the pool and explaining the technical points.

Ruohan remembers very clearly that at first she was clumsy and clumsy, choking on water or losing balance every time she tried, but she didn't give up.

The coach noticed her efforts, walked over and lightly patted her shoulder, looking at her with encouraging eyes and saying, "Ruohan, you did a great job! The key is to stay relaxed and believe in yourself

This sentence is like a warm current, stirring in Ruohan's heart and injecting her with infinite motivation.

Since that day, she has been practicing for several hours more every day than others, whether it's the scorching summer or the cold winter, without interruption.

Slowly, she found herself no longer choking on water as easily, and her movements became more fluid.

Looking back now, Ruohan deeply understands that it was the skills and attitude she learned in swimming classes that enabled her to calmly respond to sudden crises and ultimately complete the life and death rescue mission.

Mom, do you know? "Ruohan whispered, her voice filled with gratitude and pride." It's because I learned how to swim when I was a child that I have the ability to help others today

Upon hearing this, the mother's eyes flickered with relief as she gently stroked Ruohan's hair, her smile filled with love and encouragement.

I have always known that my daughter is an amazing child, and my mother is proud of you

The moonlight shines through the window, casting a mysterious glow on the simple furniture indoors. In this small space, time seems to slow down, and every second is given extra weight.

The old fan in my mother's hand gently waved, bringing delicate winds that dispersed the heat of summer and also blew into Ruohan's heart.

She closed her eyes, letting the coolness envelop her whole body, enjoying every subtle moment spent with her mother.

As time passed, the night breeze grew stronger, bringing a hint of coolness and freshness.

In the cabin, there was no other noise except for the occasional chirping of insects and the rustling sound of leaves rubbing against each other. This tranquility, like a delicate painting, slowly unfolds, telling stories about courage, family, and growth. In such an environment, Ruohan's soul found a place to rest. She knew she was not fighting alone, because behind her, there was the strongest backing in the world - the love and support of her family.

As the night deepened, Ruohan's breathing gradually became steady, and her eyelids slowly closed, falling into a sweet and peaceful dream. There, she was no longer the girl who risked her life in the river, but just a child nestled in her mother's arms, enjoying carefree time.

The scenes in my dreams, whether strolling in a sea of flowers with my mother or enjoying the spectacular sunset together, are filled with warmth and laughter in every frame. These simple yet precious moments constitute the softest and most beautiful fragments of memories in Ruohan's heart, becoming her strongest psychological defense against future challenges.

The first ray of dawn quietly entered the room, casting a golden glow on Ruohan's face, awakening her beautiful dream. She slowly opened her eyes, welcoming a brand new day. After yesterday's heart wrenching experience, Ruohan's state of mind underwent a subtle change. She felt an unprecedented sense of power, a sense of responsibility and mission originating from deep within her heart.

A new day, a new beginning, "Ruohan muttered to herself, her voice filled with determination and anticipation.

She knew that although yesterday's heroic act had become a thing of the past, the spirit and value contained within it would forever be engraved in her heart. She firmly believes that as long as positive energy continues to spread, beauty and miracles in life will continue to emerge.

A few days later at dusk, the setting sun was like blood, staining half of the sky red.

A black sedan slowly drove into the core area of the town and finally parked steadily in front of Ruohan's house.

The car door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man in formal attire walked down. His eyes were solemn and dignified, followed by the child who had struggled on the brink of death and was rescued from the river by Ruohan.

The news of the two appearing in front of Ruohan's house quickly caused a sensation in the small town, and people speculated about the reason. Curiosity and anticipation filled the air.

Ruohan, "the young man who was rescued broke the silence, his voice slightly choked up, and his eyes filled with indescribable gratitude." It was you who gave me the opportunity to be reborn, and this kindness I will never forget. You are my hero, and also the hero of this town. "His genuine expression touched the hearts of everyone present, especially Ruohan's mother, tears welling up in her eyes. She felt both proud and heartbroken for her daughter's heroic actions.

Immediately afterwards, the government official stepped forward slowly, and his arrival made the atmosphere on site even more solemn.

He cleared his throat and began speaking in a gentle yet authoritative tone: "Dear Ruohan, your fearless spirit in times of crisis is a model for all citizens to learn from. Not only did you save a precious life, but more importantly, you showed us the most precious virtues of humanity - responsibility and courage. Therefore, we have decided to award you the title of 'Honorary Citizen' and present you with a special medal to recognize your outstanding contributions

After speaking, the official personally put a shining golden medal on Ruohan's chest, which sparked prolonged applause from all around.

Ruohan's face flushed with shyness, but her eyes sparkled with humility and gratitude. Thank you for your recognition, "she replied softly." I just did what I thought was right. I believe that everyone will make the same choice when facing similar situations. But I am truly grateful and honored to receive so much support and encouragement
