Chapter 4: Chapter 21-30

Chapter 21

Ying Yushi was very happy to see her daughters back.

She wiped the corners of her eyes, and first asked, "Hasn't Tangtang come back? How is your Grandma Wei?" ——The

daughters asked someone to bring a message back, saying that Grandma Wei was sick and hospitalized, and they would stay for a few more days Take care of the elderly.

The family brought back the third child in the past few days, but the situation of the third child is more complicated. He has multi-organ complications all over the body caused by a lung infection, and needs a relatively clean environment to recuperate. As soon as he was discharged from the hospital and returned home, he developed a dust allergy and even coughed up blood for a while, and his condition was very critical.

Ying Yushi and her husband were so anxious that they hurriedly sent their son back to the hospital, and then mobilized the whole family to clean up, cleaning everything inside and out, especially the third child's room.

The third child's room is the one with the worst orientation, no windows, and the smallest area in the house. In the past, there were a lot of things piled up in his room, which was considered half a storage room.

Taking advantage of the fact that the third child went back to the hospital again, when it was raining, he took some time out every day and moved all the miscellaneous things in his room into her and her husband's bedroom, so that the third child's room only put one A bed, a chair.

The less stuff the easier it is to keep clean.

So the family has been spinning around for several days, and they didn't care about their daughters when it was raining. She also discussed with her husband, thinking of going to Weijia Village to see the situation after the busy few days.

Unexpectedly, the daughters came back.

Zhizhi and Pengpeng told what happened in Weijiacun.

Talk about how Grandma Wei was injured, how they did a small business to help Grandma Wei earn hospital expenses, and how they met the Luo brothers, so that they and Grandma Wei formed a pair to help each other... At

home Everyone was stunned.

——Pengpeng's character is a bit aggressive, but she probably can't come up with such a clever idea. Tangtang is still young and has a weak personality, so she probably doesn't have such a big idea.

So, all these ideas were thought of by Zhi Zhi?

All eyes were on Zhizhi.

During this process, Ying Yushi kept looking at her two daughters.

Zhi Zhi and Peng Peng stayed in Weijia Village for a week.

During this week, Zhizhi's body has undergone earth-shaking changes—she used to look unhealthy, with sickly paleness; now, although she is still thin and her skin is still as white, her whole body People are radiant.

Ying Yu said in amazement: "Hey, you two are doing well!"

Peng Peng hurriedly said: "It's all thanks to Zhi Zhi!"

Zhi Zhi said with a smile: "I don't know how much I have. Well, it's mainly because the fourth sister is reliable! Otherwise, tell me about the frosted hawthorn and braised pork buns, which one can I make?"

This is the truth.

Ying Yushi praised: "You two are both good boys and capable people!"

Zhizhi smiled.

Peng Peng also blushed from being praised, "Mom, sister-in-law, come and try our vegetarian stuffed buns and frosted hawthorns!" ——They also

made buns and frosted hawthorns at Grandma Wei's house, but because It is not convenient to buy meat in the countryside, so I made vegetarian stuffing.

Ying Yushi and Shan Chaofeng tried it separately and were full of praise.

It was noon now, Shan Chaofeng exchanged a few words with the two sister-in-laws and hurried into the kitchen to cook in a hurry. Immediately, the crisp sound of tinkling pots and pans was heard in the kitchen.

Seeing that only her mother and sister-in-law were at home, Zhizhi asked, "Mom, where is my dad?

Where are the eldest brother, second brother and second sister-in-law? And Weiwei Yueyue and the others?"

Ying Yushi said: "The superior has just assigned a new task to our unit. From yesterday, your father and your eldest brother must be on duty 24 hours a day, and three meals a day are taken care of at the post. Right now your second brother is taking leave Looking after your third brother in the hospital... Just now Wu Qin came to talk to me about something, so I asked your second sister-in-law to take the younger ones downstairs... Did you two see them just now?" "No

, Zhi Zhi asked, "Mom, what is Wu Qin doing at our house?"

Ying Yu gritted her teeth and hesitated for a while.

Ordinarily, she should discuss this matter with her husband first.

But looking at it like this, I don't know how long the husband and eldest son's closed mission period will be.

Think about Zhizhi's performance during this time...

Ying Yushi's heart was broken, and he said to Zhizhi: "Wu Qin came to propose marriage, and begged you for her family's Luo Jianhua..."

Zhizhi was stunned.

She quickly scanned her living room.

——There are two teacups on the coffee table in the living room, and it seems that they are used for entertaining guests at home. In addition, the living room is neat and tidy, and there are no extra malted milk, fruits, etc. that are necessary for human kindness.

So, when Wu Qin came to her house to propose marriage, she came empty-handed?

When she left, she still had a proud face? ? ?

Is this the attitude of wanting to get married?

Zhizhi asked: "Mom, what did Wu Qin say?"

Ying Yushi sighed.

Shan Chaofeng leaned out half of her body from the kitchen holding the spatula, and said angrily: "Wu Qin said, her family Luo Jianhua is a talented person, and she is also her most valued son, so she hopes that our family will let you bring three thousand dollars." The bride price of 500 yuan is over...as soon as the money arrives, I will have a happy event for you two!"

Pengpeng exclaimed, "What? 3,500 yuan?"

Zhi Zhi laughed angrily.

In this day and age, the most respectable wedding is to get together three major items—a bicycle, a sewing machine and a watch. These three items are basically worth about 500 yuan when added together.

Now Wu Qin and Lion asked for 3,500 yuan?

Of course Zhi Zhi knew what Wu Qin was up to.

Could it be that the three thousand yuan that Luo Jianhua bought the quota for staying in the city was counted on her, and he also wanted her family to pay for these three items!

As a result, Shan Chaofeng hadn't finished speaking—

"...Wu Qin also said that even if Zhizhi brought a dowry of 3,500 yuan, it would not work, and in addition, the three-bedroom house that our parents live in now The house in the living room must also be given to her precious son Luo Jianhua!"

Pengpeng couldn't help but yelled, "I think she's thinking about shit!"

Ying Yu frowned, "Pengpeng, you can't talk like that outside! "

Pengpeng pouted and snorted, turned his head aside angrily, and muttered in a low voice: "The house is given to the Luo family, so where will we live in the future!" "I haven't finished

talking yet!" Shan Chao Feng said, "...Wu Qin also said that her son is a hot commodity in the whole compound! No matter who it is, as long as they know that her family has the index of staying in the city, they want to marry his son even if it costs 6,000 yuan... ..."

Ying Yu stopped Shan Chaofeng, "Okay, okay, why are you telling your sister this!"

Then she asked Zhizhi cautiously, "Zhizhi, there are no outsiders in the family, so mother wants to ask You... you, you and Luo Jianhua... what do you think of him?"

—— Li Nianzhi is what the daughter is thinking about, and Ying Yushi knows it. But Nianzhi hasn't been back for so many years, and even his mother hasn't contacted other families anymore

. Of course, Ying Yushi prefers Luo Jianhua who knows everything. Although Wu Qin is not a very good person, Jian Hua has been polite since he was a child, and he is as good to Zhi Zhi as ever.

Zhizhi said word by word: "My opinion on Luo Jianhua... is that I don't like him at all, and I don't want to marry him! I don't even want the person Wu Qin talked about to be my mother-in-law!" Shan

Chaofeng Said: "Yes! Mom... Zhizhi is right! We don't care about him!"

Ying Yushi rolled his eyes at the eldest daughter-in-law, "Go fry your food... I can smell the smell!" "

Ouch I'm frying tofu!" Shan Chaofeng exclaimed, and quickly retreated into the kitchen.

Ying Yushi cautiously said to Zhizhi: "Zhizhi, I know that Wu Qin is always annoying, but Jianhua is a pretty good kid. In our compound, he is considered top-notch..."

"Don't be intimidated by the 3,000 yuan. If the 3,000 yuan can solve the problems of both of you at once, that's fine. Besides, if you really get along with Jianhua, the money is equivalent to It’s spent on you, and Mom thinks it’s worth it!”     “And this house...we’ll move out and let you and Jianhua live in this house. Think about it, you and Jianhua will live in this house in the future. You don't have to face Wu Qin all day long, isn't it good for you young couple to live your own life behind closed doors?" Ying Yushi spoke his truth.     Then she persuaded her daughter, "Zhizhi, don't worry about Wu Qin, and don't be afraid of her, parents also work in this factory, if she dares to bully you, you can tell mom... what are you afraid of with parents around! Zhi Zhi, mom is asking you, don’t consider Wu Qin’s words, you, you and Jianhua..."     Zhi Zhi looked at her mother helplessly, and said, "Mom, is there anyone like Wu Qin? -Hi-Happy-Luo-Jian-Hua!"     Ying Yushi didn't like Wu Qin either.     But she felt that there were only 40 days left before the end of July, and Wu Qin's proposal was the best way to solve the problem that the two children would not have to go to the countryside.     If you miss it, and you will never find such an opportunity in the future, is it really necessary to send your child to the countryside?     So she looked at her daughter, hesitated to speak.

As soon as Zhi Zhi saw her mother's expression, she knew what she wanted to persuade, so she said angrily, "Mom, I'm only seventeen! Are you so anxious to get me married?" "Of course not!" Ying Yu

said Said in a small voice, "I think, you can get the license with Jianhua first, and after three to five years, you two will, and then...then have a child." "Impossible!" Zhizhi said firmly, "I will

never I will marry him!"

Shan Chaofeng cooked the meal and told Pengpeng, "Pengpeng, please work hard again, and send the food to the hospital for your second brother and third brother!"

Pengpeng responded and stood up Going to get the lunch box, she said to Yu Shi: "Mom, you are not allowed to force Zhi Zhi to marry someone! Marriage is a lifetime thing, you have to pick someone Zhi Zhi likes!" Zhi Zhi gave a thumbs up to the fourth

sister .

Ying Yushi laughed, "I've become a stepmother who forced a marriage! Okay, let's not talk about this, Hurry up and deliver the food, come back quickly after delivering the food, we will wait for you to eat... Hey, Peng Peng, you go downstairs Call your second sister-in-law and those younger ones!"

Pengpeng agreed, and hurried away with a lunch box.

After Zhi Zhi finished her lunch, she went to take a nap.

It was past three o'clock in the afternoon when I woke up.

She sat on the bed and thought for a while, then rummaged through the boxes and chests to find a dress with ink patterns on a white background and put it on. She untied her long hair and braided it loosely, with the ends of

the The broken hair on the forehead was arranged into air bangs... Finally, I found a pair of plastic sandals from last year and wore them.

ready to go out.

Zhizhi and Pengpeng are the only ones at home.

Pengpeng was preparing to make dinner when he suddenly saw her well-dressed up, and wondered, "Hey, what are you doing?" Zhizhi stretched out her hand, "

Fourth sister, give me some money, and I'll go to the supply and marketing agency to buy it." A pair of sandals..." Then she stretched out her cute toes with white sandals and showed them to Peng Peng, "Look, there's a hole here."

Without thinking about it, Peng Peng wiped her wet hands with her apron, and took out a handful of money from her trouser pocket.

——It was the money they earned when they were doing business in Weijia Village. The ten yuan that their mother asked them to take with them was returned to Peng Peng by Grandma Wei, and Peng Peng also returned it to her mother. Now I still have the rest It looks like more than four dollars.

Zhizhi picked out a one-dollar note and a few nickels from the pile of banknotes in Pengpeng's hands, and said, "That's enough!" "Plastic sandals are not cheap!"

Pengpeng Said, "If you don't say anything, it will cost more than three yuan a pair. You can take some more money to go... Wait, but we don't have a ticket in hand. You can only go to the supply and marketing agency to buy sandals when Mom comes back and asks her to get the ticket. Zhizhi

put the money into her hand-sewn small wallet and said, "Then I'll go and see the style and price first!"

Then he asked, "Fourth sister, I'm leaving, do you want me to bring something back?" ?”

“No, no, no! We have everything at home!” After saying that, Peng Peng went back to the kitchen.

Zhi Zhi walked out the door clutching a beautiful little cloth bag.

——Wu Qin came to her home to propose marriage today, Zhizhi doesn't believe that Tan Chunyu is not in a hurry.

So she had to go out and go fishing.

The result——

Tan Chunyu was far more eager than Zhi Zhi imagined!

Zhizhi went downstairs, and as soon as she walked out of the Tongzilou unit, she heard someone next to her eagerly shouting "Farewell Zhizhi"...

She turned her head and saw Tan Chunyu whose eyes were swollen from crying.

Zhizhi glared at Tan Chunyu, then quickened her pace and rushed forward, until there was a certain distance from Tan Chunyu, and then slowly slowed down.

Tan Chunyu was stunned.

Just in a daze, she watched Bie Zhizhi walk away.

——Bie Zhizhi has a slender figure, her long hair is braided into a fluffy and gentle braid, and she casually hangs it on her chest lazily and charmingly. She was wearing a skirtless dress with a dark blue ink pattern on a white background, showing a pair of slender arms; a wide belt was tied around the waist, which made the waist full of grip. And under the half-length knee-length skirt, there were two straight, snow-white calves.

She walked unhurriedly step by step, with a graceful and graceful walking posture.

Even Tan Chunyu was dumbfounded.

And then—

she saw Luo Jianhua coming out of nowhere and blocking Bie Zhizhi's way.

"Zhizhi, you are finally back!" Luo Jianhua looked happily at the person he had been thinking about day and night, and said excitedly, "...where have you been these days? Why did it take you so long to come back?" Farewell

Zhizhi :...

Luo Jianhua hasn't seen her for several days, he can't think well, and Bie Zhizhi has deliberately dressed up today, seeing such a beautiful and weak sweetheart, he blushed for a while, and was dumbfounded .

Bie Zhizhi didn't bother to talk to him at first, but on second thought, Tan Chunyu was watching from behind!

So she cried out in a soft and weak tone, "...Brother Jianhua."

Luo Jianhua felt distressed when he heard it, "What's the matter?"

Zhizhi said goodbye, "Your mother is coming to our house at noon It's gone..." She didn't

want Tan Chunyu, who was following behind, to hear her conversation with Luo Jianhua, so she led Luo Jianhua towards the family compound.

Luo Jianhua's face, which had recovered with great difficulty, turned red again.

He just heard his mother say that Zhizhi came back at noon, so he waited for two hours downstairs at Zhizhi's house, and finally saw the beauty.

"...But brother Jianhua, our family can't afford 3,500 yuan." Zhizhi said.

Luo Jianhua was bewildered by her soft and sweet voice, "That's 3,500 yuan..."

Speaking of the 3,500 yuan, he suddenly woke up, and quickly said: "Zhizhi, my mother has already agreed with Zhang Bo's son, as long as he can raise 3,000 yuan and give it to him within three days, he will give it to him." If you sign it, we can get the quota to stay in the city... and there is still one month left to prepare for our wedding..." Zhizhi

emphasized, "Brother Jianhua, my family can't afford 3,500 yuan Here comes the money."

Luo Jianhua was stunned, and asked incredulously, "What?"

"Our family can't afford 3,500 yuan no matter what." Zhi Zhi said again.

Luo Jianhua's eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't your father the chief engineer? Your elder brother is also an engineer... and your second brother, your second brother's position is a fat job! And your mother, your two sister-in-laws... so many A person’s monthly salary is quite a lot! And your family, your elder brother and second brother have been married for several years, and there is nowhere to spend money recently, so why is it your turn... you have no money?" He looked

at Zhi Zhi, with a face full of shock.

Zhizhi also widened her eyes, with a look of disbelief.

--I go! Unexpectedly, there are really people who are thinking about other people's money all day long?

Who are these people!

Zhizhi calmed down for a moment, and put on a gentle expression of Sui Yuejing, "Brother Jianhua, then I would like to congratulate you and Sister Chunyu. I heard from Aunt Wu that Sister Chunyu is willing to give a dowry of 6,000 yuan!" Luo

Jianhua As soon as she heard this, she became anxious, "Zhi Zhi, what should you do?"

"What should I do?"

——She is planning to go to the countryside!

Luo Jianhua stammered and said, "Could it be that you want to go to the countryside?"

Of course he wanted to.

But Zhizhi didn't dare to admit it, fearing that it would be heard by her parents and they would stop her.

"Then what should we do? Our family has no money!" Zhizhi entangled with Luo Jianhua again impatiently, and said, "I have something else to do, I'll go first!"

After speaking, she hurried away.

Luo Jianhua stared blankly at her background, frowning, and murmured unconsciously: "Your father's salary is almost a hundred yuan a month, plus your mother, your two brothers and two sisters-in-law, and six working employees plus You can get more than 300 yuan a month together... 3,000 yuan a year, and your family hasn't had a wedding in at least three years... Isn't it easy to save 3,500 yuan?"

Zhi Zhi ran out of the family compound and went to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative for a walk.

In this day and age, especially this season, plastic sandals are in high demand. There are not many styles and the size is broken, and Zhizhi doesn't seem to like it. Seeing that it was getting late, she left the supply and marketing cooperative and returned to the family compound. Zhi Zhi bought twenty fruit candies for a dime at the canteen, wrapped them in her own handkerchief, and walked back slowly.

In the end, Zhizhi met Tan Chunyu again next to the unit downstairs of her own tube.

It seems that Tan Chunyu is waiting for her here on purpose!

"Farewell Zhizhi——"

Zhizhi ignored Tan Chunyu, bowed her head and continued to walk forward, but "accidentally" opened the hard fruit candy wrapped in her handkerchief, and the fruit candy wrapped in

shiny sugar paper spilled all over the place land.

——She must put on a good show for Tan Chunyu.

Zhizhi held the corner of her skirt with one hand while squatting down to pick up candies.

Tan Chunyu quickly squatted down, helped Zhizhi pick up candies, and handed them to her one by one.

Zhi Zhi took it in silence, and wrapped it in a handkerchief again.

"Farewell Zhizhi, you, why are you ignoring me?" Tan Chunyu asked.

Zhizhi, "You are the one who wanted to harm me and almost forced me to death... What else do you want me to do with you! Do you have to kill me to be satisfied?" Tan Chunyu said quickly: "No no

no , don't Zhizhi, I never wanted to hurt you!"

"Then you tricked me into the abandoned warehouse for my own good?" Zhizhi asked back.

Tan Chunyu: ...

"Farewell Zhibai, let me make it clear... I like Brother Jianhua, and I must marry him!" Tan Chunyu summoned up her courage and said.

Zhizhi: Come here!

"But today his mother came to my house to propose marriage!" Zhizhi said.

Tan Chunyu's face paled instantly.

She lives in Luo's house now, so of course she knows that Wu Qin went to another house to propose marriage at noon today.

Zhi Zhi looked at Tan Chunyu's expression, and added a strong dose of medicine, "My mother said, now my father is on duty 24 hours a day, so he can't get away. When my father finishes work, he will give me and Jianhua I have a wedding!"

She said, showing off her skirt and showing Tan Chunyu her sandals, "So my mother asked me to go shopping these days, if there are clothes or shoes I like, she will Buy it for me. My sister-in-law also said that when a girl grows up, she will marry someone! She will have an advantage if she looks pretty!"

Then she looked at Tan Chunyu again, "It's you, you are still wearing a With the lawsuit pending, how could Aunt Wu let Brother Jianhua marry someone with a criminal record like you?"

Tan Chunyu's face paled again.

She finally remembered the business of coming to Bie Zhizhi this time.

"Farewell Zhizhi, you, can you write me a letter of understanding?" Tan Chunyu asked in a low voice.

Zhizhi smiled slightly, "What are you thinking about!"

Chapter 22

Tan Chunyu didn't know what to do.

She framed Bie Zhizhi before, but got involved in an "unspeakable" case by accident, and was even caught by the secret agents, almost losing her life! If Bie Zhizhi hadn't followed Guoan's advice and risked her life as a target, it's hard to say whether she would have been silenced... She couldn't use

her father's death to resent Bie Zhizhi's family, after all, the misunderstanding had already been made. Release...

Now she urgently needs Bie Zhizhi's letter of understanding to reduce her sentence.

In the past week, Tan Chunyu has nowhere to turn, and can only put all her hopes on the Luo family. She desperately pleases Wu Qin, helps Wu Qin make money wholeheartedly, and helps the Luo family with everything. Housework, taking care of Luo Jianhua attentively...

But Wu Qin told her like this:

"Chunyu, you know what Jianhua is thinking. He is just fascinated by that little vixen Bie Zhizhi, and it must be her." Marry! So Auntie can only help you in this way... Hey, let's earn 3,000 yuan first, buy a quota for Jianhua to stay in the city, and then marry Bie Zhizhi into our house... Wait for her to come into our house How can she refuse to listen to me if she becomes a member of our family? I will definitely ask her to write you a letter of understanding! Don’t worry about these things, I know it well, so the top priority is to earn 3,000 yuan as soon as possible. "

Tan Chunyu felt bitter and astringent.

She didn't want to go to jail, but she didn't want to watch Luo Jianhua marry Bie Zhizhi either.

A few days ago Bie Zhizhi went far away, and Tan Chunyu was also busy making money for Wu Qin, but she didn't think too much...

Until recently, Tan Chunyu helped Wu Qin earn more than 4,000 yuan, and then Wu Qin went to I went to another family to propose marriage.

Only then did Tan Chunyu realize a very urgent question:

——If according to Wu Qin's plan, first earn money to buy indicators for Luo Jianhua, then let Luo Jianhua marry Bie Zhizhi, and finally let Bie Zhizhi write her a letter of understanding?

But she, Tan Chunyu, had to get Bie Zhizhi's letter of understanding within a week, otherwise her case would be in court soon. And the deadline for the next batch of educated youths to go to the countryside is at the end of July, and there is still more than a month left!

So Wu Qin actually doesn't care whether she will be sentenced or how long she will be sentenced; Wu Qin just wants her to help make money, right?

Tan Chunyu couldn't sit still.

However, she couldn't count on Wu Qin, nor on the Luo family... Then who else could she count on?

By coincidence, she came to look for Bie Zhizhi.

But -

Bie Zhizhi is also right, what qualifications does she have to ask for Bie Zhizhi's understanding?

Tan Chunyu wanted to cry a little.

Zhizhi kept looking at Tan Chunyu, and of course she could clearly see the unpredictable expression on Tan Chunyu's face.

"Tan Chunyu, you should understand that whether I write the letter of understanding or not, you will definitely be sentenced." Zhizhi said.

Tan Chunyu bit her lower lip.

She was cruel, and said: "Don't Zhizhi, then can you...don't marry Brother Jianhua?"

The reason why Zhizhi was willing to say a few words to Luo Jianhua just now was to act and stimulate Tan Chunyu. : "How is that possible? Brother Jianhua also told me just now that he will get the index of staying in the city immediately, and then he will marry me... He also asked me what kind of wedding I want..." Tan Chunyu said with a

face one white.

"I earned the money to buy the quota for brother Jianhua!" Tan Chunyu growled, "Why..." "

Because he likes me!" Zhizhi said.

Tan Chunyu, "But don't you like Li Nianzhi? If you marry Brother Jianhua,

you won't be afraid of Li Nianzhi's revenge?"

Zhi Zhi said straightforwardly: "But Li Nianzhi is not here now, and... he can't stop me from going to the countryside! Besides, what does it have to do with you whether he retaliates against me? Not even Brother Jianhua." Mind..."

Tan Chunyu was at a loss for words.

Zhizhi knew that she couldn't push Tan Chunyu too hard all at once, so she sighed: "Actually...if there is a way, I don't want to get married so early, after all, I'm only seventeen years old." Tan Chunyu was overjoyed

, "Then go talk to Brother Jianhua now!"

"How is that possible," Zhizhi said, "If I don't agree to Brother Jianhua's marriage proposal, then I... have to go to the countryside."

Tan Chunyu asked with flickering eyes Said: "You married him just to stay in the city?"

Zhizhi heard what she meant, "Tan Chunyu, don't try to drive a wedge between me and Brother Jianhua, my thoughts...he has been I know. And you should also be very clear, whether I like him or not...he wants to marry me wholeheartedly."

Tan Chunyu's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Of course she also understands.

After hesitating for a while, Tan Chunyu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't Zhizhi, let me ask you, if you can also have the index of staying in the city, are you still willing to marry Brother Jianhua?" "Stop talking in your sleep." Zhizhi said deliberately

, "Do you think Liucheng indicators are rotten cabbage, and you can grab a lot?"

Tan Chunyu took a deep breath, "To tell you the truth, I earned the three thousand yuan that Brother Jianhua used to buy the indicators. Now the money is still in my hands Yes, and I also know Uncle Zhang’s son. I, I can find a way to buy that quota before Wu Qin, so that you have the quota to stay in the city... Then will you marry Brother Jianhua?”

Zhi Zhi Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

——The fish is hooked!

She deliberately showed a embarrassed look.

"If this is the case... of course it would be great. But if this is the case, how can I face brother Jianhua? Besides, Aunt Wu is in charge of this matter. This indicator did not fall on her son, but on me It's on my head... When she makes a fuss with this indicator, which I bought with money, what should I do?" Zhi Zhi said.

Tan Chunyu, "I will find a way to do all of this... But the prerequisite is that you must first promise me and write me a letter of understanding."

Seeing Zhizhi frowning, she hurriedly said, "Zhizhi, listen to my explanation— —I only have 3,000 yuan on hand, which is only enough to buy one indicator. So I thought... First, I will privately ask Brother Zhang to buy the indicator and give it to you. Then I will find a way to delay it for a while. At the end of July I saved enough money to buy an indicator for Brother Jianhua... But the premise is that I still need time to earn money. If you don't write me a letter of understanding, then I may be arrested and go to jail..." Zhizhi

reminded She, "Even if I write a letter of understanding to you, you will still be sentenced."

Tan Chunyu said in a low voice: "Wu Qin said that she has hired a lawyer for me. As long as your letter of understanding is beautiful, the lawyer will be fine." You are sure to help me get probation... Do you know what probation means? That is, you will be sentenced and have a criminal record, but you don't need to go to jail..." ——In this era, lawyers are a little-known industry

. Most ordinary people have never gone to court to litigate, and of course they don't know what a lawyer does.

Of course Zhi Zhi knew what probation was.

In fact, she has already agreed in her heart.

But she can't make Tan Chunyu feel that she agrees too easily...

"I have to think about it," Zhi Zhi said, "Because you are not reliable, and I don't know if your words are worth trusting.

" A letter of understanding can seal

my life and death, how could I make fun of you with my own future."

Zhizhi stared at her for a while and asked, "You... have been doing business lately?"

Tan Chunyu's heart tightened, and she replied with a smile on her face: "Just, I just do some odd jobs for a few acquaintances..."

Zhizhi asked again, "Then if I think about it, how can I find you?

" Dazed, he hurriedly said: "How about after dinner tomorrow? In the playground!"

Zhizhi said "Yes", bypassed her, and hurried upstairs.

Back home, Pengpeng asked Zhizhi, "Have you bought sandals yet?"

Zhizhi shook her head, "It's too ugly."

Pengpeng laughed "Puchi" and said, "It was only after you went out that I thought about sandals. Woke up...it's only the beginning of June, and the new sandals from the supply and marketing agency haven't arrived yet, and some of them are last year's styles."

Zhi Zhi, "When will there be new models?"

Peng Peng, "It used to be until the end of June, There will be new sandals on the market... Sandals are the most expensive at this time, and they will drop a little at the end of July and early August..." "

The price has come down, and summer is almost over!" Zhi Zhi muttered.

At this time, Ying Yushi came back from work, and when he opened the door, he heard his daughters chatting about sandals, "That's right, the weather is getting hotter every day, so it's time to buy you new sandals!" Pengpeng said: "Mom

! You can buy it for your sisters, I don’t want sandals.”

——Her feet are a bit strange, to put it bluntly, they are long and thin. The shoes she usually wears are all handmade by asking relatives in her hometown to help her when it rains. If she was wearing sandals, no matter whether they were a size seven or eight, her entire foot would not be able to fill the upper, which was even more uncomfortable than wearing slippers.

Even in summer, Peng Peng only wears cloth shoes.

Ying Yushi said: "Let's look for it, didn't you try on a suitable pair last year?"

Pengpeng sighed, "It's so easy to meet the right one!"

Zhizhi's curiosity was aroused, "Fourth sister, you Show me your old sandals."

"After wearing it for two years, it's all broken, what's there to see?"

"Show me!"

Pengpeng went back to the house and searched, and finally found the old sandals.

It can be seen that the fourth sister really likes this pair of old sandals - it is said that the plastic sandals that have been worn for two years have been worn out, washed clean, put into a cloth bag, and wrapped in old newspapers of.

Zhi Zhi took it over and looked at it carefully.

This is a pair of dark brown plastic sandals, the style is not good-looking, it is the style that old ladies like to wear. But the shoe body looks slim and long, no wonder the four sisters wear it together! The soles of these shoes are worn out, but because they are properly protected, they look about 70% new. However, the plastic part of the instep of the left foot has been cracked, and the plastic buckle of the right foot is broken, and it is indeed impossible to wear it anymore.

She took the old sandals into the house.

At this time, the two sister-in-laws also went to the kindergarten to pick up the children and entered the house one after another.

Everyone couldn't care about Zhizhi anymore.

Zhizhi stared at the pair of shoes, pondered for a moment, and came up with a solution.

She rummaged through the box to find an old cotton shirt, found a basket of needlework, took out the scissors and cut the shirt into strips of cloth, and then carefully trimmed the old sandals with the scissors... After nearly an hour of

tossing , she just finished one of the sandals, and shouted: "Fourth Sister! Fourth Sister, come in!"

"Bang!"

Pengpeng rushed in, "What's wrong?"

"Fourth Sister, come and try! "Zhizhi said with a smile.

Pengpeng saw at a glance that one of his old sandals had been transformed into...a strange shoe with colorful cloth strips tied on a plastic sole?

Zhizhi, "Fourth sister, you are like this..." She motioned for Pengpeng to sit down, and while explaining, she tied the cloth strips on the upper of the shoes for Pengpeng herself, and told her how to wear the shoes and how to fold the cloth strips to fix them How to tie cloth strips on the feet to look good...

Peng Peng was stunned.

She looked at her left foot in disbelief.

I have covered my feet for the whole autumn, winter and spring. They are white and slender. Wearing these weird "sandals", there is a kind of stunning and refined beauty!

——The soles are dark brown plastic soles, but the cross-tied floral cloth strips on the insteps fit her insteps, soft and comfortable.

Zhi Zhi smiled and said, "You can change the other shoe by yourself, it should last for a season this summer! Get up and take a few steps to see if you feel comfortable?"

Pengpeng stood up, tried to take two steps, Then I ran to the living room, "Mom! Sister-in-law, look, these are the sandals that Zhizhi helped me change... do they look good?" The

mother and sisters-in-law rang in the living room, "It looks good!", "Hey, this sandal can be changed like this!" Yeah?", "It's really pretty, much better than the sandals in the supply and marketing cooperative!"

Zhizhi smiled.

Pengpeng said happily: "I'll change the other shoe tonight... I'll have new sandals to wear tomorrow!

" She saw Tan Chunyu, but she ignored Tan Chunyu.

Until later, Pengpeng happily ran to them...

——Pengpeng changed the other sandal according to the appearance, and now he rushed to the playground wearing a beautiful "new" sandal, which aroused the amazement and excitement of countless mothers-in-law and aunts. discuss.

In this day and age, everyone is not rich, and it is worth advocating to transform old clothes and old things.

If she can transform old things into better and more beautiful ones than brand new ones, then she is the prettiest kid in the audience!

The mother-in-law, aunt, aunt, and sister-in-law watched Pengpeng, asking her to show how to put on and take off the shoe, and to study how her shoe was modified.

Seeing that most people's attention was on Peng Peng's sandals, Zhi Zhi walked to the shade of a tree beside her.

Soon, Tan Chunyu came over.

Zhizhi lowered her voice and said: "I've made up my mind, I can write you a letter of understanding. But... this job must be given to my third brother."

Tan Chunyu was stunned, anxious, "How can I do that?

—— Hey, Bie Zhizhi really knows how to do it! A letter of understanding is worth 3,000 yuan, buy a quota for Bie San, and then she will marry Luo Jianhua? In this way, the other family's two quotas for staying in the city will be solved at once?!

"why not? Bie Zhizhi stared at Tan Chunyu and said, "My third brother has been hospitalized for more than a month, and the medical expenses are still second. He has suffered so much...why did he suffer so much?" Didn't all this happen to you? "

Tan Chunyu shut up awkwardly.

"So my request is that my third brother must get the quota for staying in the city. In addition, you must pay all the medical expenses our family paid for the third brother!" Furthermore, you must write an apology letter to my parents and post it on the bulletin board at the factory gate for at least three months! Also... you have to write twenty IOUs of fifty yuan to me, and all the money must be repaid within one year... If you can promise these, then I will write you a letter of understanding. "Zhizhi said.

Tan Chunyu's face changed suddenly.

——The apology letter doesn't cost money, which is fine; but the index of staying in the city is worth 3,000 yuan. Don't worry,

the cost of being hospitalized for more than a month is at least two or three hundred yuan. Ten fifty-dollar IOUs are one thousand dollars, and they have to be paid off within a year...

Don't Zhizhi really think about it!

Tan Chunyu, "I don't have that much money..."

Bie Zhizhi nodded, "I guess so, so much money added up, there are more than 4,000 yuan, who has such ability, can earn so much money in a year, right? So, You should stop asking for a letter of forgiveness, and go to jail for a few years!"

"Oh, right," Bie Zhizhi said, "My parents are already planning to sue you, and the procuratorate wants to sue you, which is a criminal case. I My parents will also file a lawsuit on my behalf and ask you for civil compensation... I don’t know much about this aspect, it’s all up to my parents.”

Tan Chunyu: …

She doesn’t want to go to jail.

She has already earned 4,000 yuan in just one week. If she goes to jail, not to mention suffering, it will also delay her earning money. The most important thing is that she can't just watch Luo Jianhua marry Zhizhi.

"Then, if I agree to your request, will you still marry Brother Jianhua?" Tan Chunyu asked.

Zhi Zhi, "I'll give you another thousand dollars."

Tan Chunyu was dumbfounded.

"Think about it," Zhi Zhi said, "My dad should be able to go home tomorrow, and my mother is still waiting to discuss my marriage with brother Jianhua with him!" After speaking, Zhi Zhi turned and left

.

Tan Chunyu's heart was in a mess.

That night, Bie Zhizhi and Tan Chunyu stayed up all night together.

The small calculations in Bie Zhizhi's heart were crackling:

——The third brother can get the quota for staying in the city, and the medical expenses will also be settled. The little girl is only fifteen, and she has her own quota for staying in the city... between her and the fourth sister, if she goes to the countryside, the fourth sister doesn't have to go to the countryside.

——The letter of apology can make the parents and the whole family straighten up, and they will no longer be afraid of gossip.

——The twenty fifty-dollar IOUs allow the family to accumulate some savings. In case the policy changes in the future and even the fourth sister has to go to the countryside, the one thousand yuan can be used as the funds for the purchase quota .

——As for the extra thousand yuan at the end, it could be regarded as a little bit of wealth she won for the family with the help of Tan Chunyu. After all, if she really went to the countryside in the future, she might not be able to take care of the family for Yuanshen.

Therefore, the most urgent task is:

——How to help the third brother win this indicator without telling his parents.

——How to go to the educated youth station to sign up for going to the countryside without telling your parents.

Tan Chunyu also tossed and turned all night:

——Bie Zhizhi opened his mouth wide and raised the price, will she still agree?

As soon as this question came to mind, Tan Chunyu sighed.

Can she not agree?

In any case, she can't go to jail, she must guard Luo Jianhua.

So what she was worried about was: how to make so much money in a month!

Now she has 4,000 yuan on hand, so she can help Biesan buy a quota to stay in the city first, and she has to hide it from Wu Qin. Then, before Wu Qin came to her senses, she had to earn...at least a huge sum of no less than 3,000 yuan, and at the same time, she had to beg her grandpa to sue her grandma, hoping to meet the sales target.

As for Bie Zhizhi's other requests, such as apology letters, IOUs, etc... Apology letters are fine, but IOUs can always be paid back as long as you give her time...

Tan Chunyu clenched her fists.

She must agree!

Chapter 23

A day later, Tan Chunyu came to Bie Zhizhi and said she agreed.

Now the two have a common goal - quietly spend money to buy the index in Xiao Zhang's hand and pass it to Bie Yanxi.

Bie Zhizhi didn't want her family to know, and Tan Chunyu didn't want Wu Qin to know, so the two got together and calculated.

Bie Zhizhi said: "We have to find a way to divert the tiger away from the mountain and take Wu Qinzhi away. Let's get things done quickly while she's not around. And we have to find a tight-lipped person in the Educated Youth Office to do it." Take Wu Qinzhi away,

this Easy to handle.

Tan Chunyu said: "Then I will say, if there is a sum of money, she must go to pick it up in person..." Speaking of this, she was startled, thinking that Bie Zhizhi should not let Bie Zhizhi know about the private business. After all, Bie Zhizhi and her are enemies, and they are not in the same heart.

Unexpectedly, Bie Zhizhi nodded as if she didn't understand, "That's good."

Then Bie Zhizhi thought about it carefully and said: "The educated youth office is looking for someone to do things... I also know it in my heart, then this matter Leave it to me."

After a pause, Bie Zhizhi said: "The rest is for us to find Xiao Zhang together, and let him take a long trip after getting the money. Even if Wu Qin comes back and wants to talk to Xiao Zhang about the indicators...he is not here, so it can take a few days."

Tan Chunyu nodded repeatedly.

The two made an appointment to go to Xiao Zhang's place, and then separated.

Zhizhi went to the factory educated youth office.

Wu Qin is the director, and she is neither a big official nor a small person. Every morning when she rushes to the unit and catches her subordinates, she will be overwhelmed. She wanders out to buy groceries, goes home early to knit a sweater for lunch, and takes a nap. The same goes for the afternoon, with ups and downs After delivering a speech without hesitation, he will leave as soon as he responds... The bureaucracy is fully interpreted!

It was mid-morning, and Zhi Zhi was standing outside the Educated Youth Office, and saw Wu Qin coming out of the work unit from a distance, and then slowly walked away... Then

she ran into the Educated Youth Office to find Mrs. Pan.

Sister-in-law Pan is a clerk of the Educated Youth Office. She lives upstairs from Zhi Zhi's house. The two families have a good relationship.

Seeing Zhizhi coming, Mrs. Pan was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Why are you here, Zhizhi?" Suddenly remembering that she saw Pengpeng's new sandals on the playground last night, she hurriedly said, "You came just in time, come on!" Help me figure it out!"

Then he took off the crossbody bag hanging on the back of the chair and handed it to Zhi Zhi, "I really like my shoulder bag! Look at the color... how pretty it is! But it is , I went to the park the day before yesterday's rest day, and I don't know which god damn thief scratched my bag! Look, it's here... Zhi Zhi, please help me think of a way, how can I fix this place... ..."

——Pengpeng from another family is hard-working and down-to-earth, she doesn't seem to be able to turn a broken thing into a flower, she doesn't have that kind of ingenuity.

Most likely it was Zhizhi's idea.

Zhi Zhi took a look and said, "I can change this... If you trust me, sister-in-law, you give me this package, and I'll take it back and change it for you, and send it to your home in the evening." "Thank you very

much "Sister-in-law Pan said, "The unit issued ice cream tickets, and I will give you a few evenly." "

Thank you, sister-in-law Pan, but I don't want ice cream tickets, and my mother won't let me eat because I have a bad stomach," Zhizhi said , "Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, I'm here to find my sister-in-law."

"Let's listen to it."

Zhi Zhi asked what procedures should be followed for educated youths to go to the countryside, and what procedures should be followed for the transfer of job quotas.

Sister-in-law Pan naturally told Zhi Zhi everything, and then asked, "Why are you asking this

?"

Zhi Zhi smiled and replied, "Just ask."

Sister-in-law Pan didn't believe it, "You Why do you ask this? Could your family still let you go to the countryside?"

Zhi Zhi looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her and Mrs. Pan, so she lowered her voice and said, "Sister-in-law, you should know about my holiday with Tan Chunyu Bar?"

Mrs. Pan nodded.

Zhizhi, "Tan Chunyu's case is about to go to court, and she was anxious to ask me to write a letter of understanding. I told her that it would be fine if I wanted to write a letter of understanding, but she must get me an indicator to stay in the city..." In the eyes of Sister-in-Law

Pan All of a sudden, "She got it?"

Zhi Zhi nodded, "But I want to give it to my third brother..."

"Huh?" Sister Pan was astonished.

Thinking about it carefully, Mrs. Pan can also understand Zhizhi's painstaking efforts.

"You are a good boy, and I understand that your third brother is not in good health," Mrs. Pan said with concern, "but your body is not much better than your third brother... You give your index to your third brother, then you What should I do?"

Zhi Zhi whispered again: "Aunt Wu went to our house to propose a marriage a few days ago, and said...she helped Luo Jianhua get the index to stay in the city."

Auntie Pan suddenly realized.

——Luo Jianhua's overall quality is very good, and many young girls in the compound like him. But his mother stretched her hips so much that many girls just secretly liked him, but when it came to kissing him, he was the one no one cared about.

Zhizhi is beautiful and ingenious, and her family conditions are much better than Luo Jianhua's. It's a bit of a loss for such a good girl to marry Luo Jianhua! The main reason is that the Luo family is not worthy of other families!

But after thinking about it, what happened to marrying Luo Jianhua? After all, she knows the basics, and Zhizhi's family is all there, so she is really not afraid that Wu Qin will bully Zhizhi in the future.

Besides, no matter what the method is, it is a good way to keep Zhizhi in the city!

Zhizhi asked again, "Sister-in-law, if Tan Chunyu can really get the indicators...can you help my third brother do it? But I don't want my family to know about it first. I'm afraid that there will be no way for the family to reach a unified opinion. , but there are not many such opportunities, and it would be bad if the wind gets out and there are variables."

Mrs. Pan fell into deep thought.

After a while, she said: "For such a big matter, you should discuss it with your family first!"

Zhi Zhi didn't force her, and nodded, "Okay, please don't tell my family, sister-in-law, I have to find a suitable opportunity..." "

Okay!"

Zhi Zhi took Mrs. Pan's scratched bag and walked away. up.

When she got home, she didn't mention the matter, but secretly prepared materials and documents.

After dinner that day, Zhizhi and Tan Chunyu met again.

Tan Chunyu said: "Today is Wednesday, and I will have a court session next Monday, so you must send me a letter of understanding before the weekend... Besides, I have already persuaded Wu Qin that she will have two days off on Fridays and Saturdays to ask for leave and I will go to other places to collect money together. So we can only go to Xiao Zhang tomorrow, and I will give him the money, and then you have to bring him to our factory to handle the transfer of indicators on Friday...Wu Qin and I Come back on Sunday, the court will start on Monday, and she will not be able to return to work until Tuesday at the earliest..."

Zhizhi nodded repeatedly.

The next day, Zhizhi told her family that she wanted to go to other supply stores in the city by bicycle to look at sandals.

Pengpeng volunteered to accompany her, but Zhizhi didn't let her go. He took all the materials and documents prepared the day before, pushed his bicycle out of the family compound, and then waited for Tan Chunyu at the agreed place.

The two rode bicycles together to the township where Xiao Zhang lived.

Before meeting

Xiao Zhang , Bie Zhizhi and Tan Chunyu found a hidden place to sit down.

Tan Chunyu took out 3,000 yuan in cash from her satchel, 40 50-yuan IOUs written by herself, and a 1,000-character apology letter with deep affection and neat handwriting.

Bie Zhizhi checked them one by one, and there was no problem, so she took out her unsigned letter of understanding and showed it to Tan Chunyu, "You gave the money to Xiao Zhang, and the three of us will go to the educated youth office near Xiao Zhang's first." Transfer the indicators... I will sign this letter of understanding."

Tan Chunyu also carefully read the content of the letter of understanding, a little moved.

She nodded, looking at Bie Zhizhi with complicated feelings.

The two exchanged information, and then went to find Xiao Zhang together.

Xiao Zhang was not surprised when he saw Tan Chunyu and Bie Zhizhi, because Tan Chunyu had greeted him beforehand. The three found a quiet place to chat for a while and reached a consensus. Xiao Zhang was also unambiguous, took the 3,000 yuan from Bie Zhizhi, carefully counted them one by one, and carefully put them away.

Then the three of them went together to the Educated Youth Office where Xiao Zhang's registered permanent residence was located, and transferred out the job indicators assigned by his superiors after his father's death, and at the same time submitted an application for transfer out.

All three were a little nervous.

But in fact, at this time, there are too many people doing index transfer.

The clerk carefully checked all the materials, and finally stamped a big red stamp on the transfer application form!

In this way, the matter is half successful.

When Xiao Zhang and Zhi Zhi went to the Educated Youth Office and the Human Resources Department of the steel factory tomorrow to transfer the quota to the factory, the matter would be settled.

After finishing their work, Zhi Zhi and Tan Chunyu bid farewell to Xiao Zhang; at the same time, Zhi Zhi and Xiao Zhang made an appointment with Xiao Zhang to meet at the steel factory tomorrow, and then went back to the steel factory compound with Tan Chunyu.

When the two parted, Zhi Zhi seriously signed her name on the letter of understanding.

Tan Chunyu hesitated again and again, and asked Zhizhi: "Zhizhi, can we...be good friends in the future?"

Zhizhi smiled, turned and left without speaking.

Tan Chunyu clutched the letter of understanding tightly.

That night, Zhizhi was very nervous.

She lay in bed all night, never having been so frightened.

The next day was Friday, Zhizhi got up early to pack herself, and went to the agreed place to lay down after breakfast. Around nine o'clock, Xiao Zhang came over on his bicycle with a luggage bag tied to the back seat.

He told Zhizhi, "...little girl, to tell you the truth, I want so much money just because my mother is hospitalized in the provincial capital, so can we do it faster today? I have to go to the provincial capital after I finish my work." Go to see my mother..."

Zhizhi nodded.

God knows how nervous she is now!

She took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in her heart, and took Xiao Zhang to the personnel department first.

With the current policy, it is nothing new for those who have connections to find ways to buy and sell indicators to avoid young children and young girls at home going to the countryside to jump in the queue.

But what is strange is that Bie Gong got the pointers for the third son, why didn't Bie Gong or Doctor Ying come forward? Instead, Zhi Zhi, who has always been sick and careless in their family, came forward?

Zhi Zhi had a sweet mouth, and as soon as she entered the personnel department, she kept yelling uncle and auntie, and distributed fruit candies to everyone.

The clerk received the materials submitted by Zhi Zhi and Xiao Zhang, checked them carefully, and there was no problem.

In addition, Bie Fengjun's family has always been very popular in the factory, so the matter was settled soon.

The director of the personnel department also smiled and said to Zhizhi: "...Okay, okay, it's over! We will report it to the higher authorities, and

your third brother will be able to come to work in the factory when the superior approves it. This is the official establishment of the state. !"

Zhizhi happily said thank you repeatedly.

Then she took Xiao Zhang to the Educated Youth Office.

Sure enough -

Wu Qin is not here today.

Just like in the personnel department, Zhizhi greeted her sweetly as soon as she entered the room, saying hello to auntie and sister-in-law, and then handed out fruit candies.

Afterwards, Zhi Zhi took the written notice from the Human Resources Department and came to the Educated Youth Office to report, telling them that Bie Yanxi had already obtained a permanent establishment and could be crossed off the list of educated youths who planned to go to the countryside... Mrs. Pan sat on her

seat , very surprised.

She didn't expect that Zhi Zhi's speed was so fast!

Sister-in-law Pan couldn't sit still anymore, she pulled Zhizhi aside, and asked in a low voice, "Zhizhi, does your family know?"

Zhizhi's heart was pounding.

——They didn't know it before 9 o'clock this morning, but now... they may already know it. Maybe someone from the personnel department will call and tell the parents.

But she can't control that much anymore.

This must be done today!

Zhi Zhi nodded, "They know."

——I am also a member of our family, and what I know means that my family also knows.

Sister-in-law Pan obviously didn't believe it, "Then why are you here to handle this matter? There is no reason for a child like you to come forward for such a big matter." "

I'm not a child!" Zhizhi protested.

Sister-in-law Pan said, "That can't be done, I have to call your sister-in-law." Then, she walked back to her seat and picked up the intercom.

Zhizhi was so panicked that she ran over and pressed the phone.

Just at this time, a clerk yelled, "Zhizhi, I found your third brother's name! Do you want to take it down?" "Yes, yes!

Take my third brother's name down, please, big sister!" Zhi Zhi said loudly.

Sister Pan frowned, "Zhi Zhi, you..."

Zhi Zhi clasped her hands together and bowed to Sister Pan, "Sister-in-law, please don't say anything, I, I want face..."

Sister Pan:...

"No, this is not for you. It's a shameless thing, it's a big deal in life! You..."

Before Mrs. Pan could finish her sentence, the clerk over there shouted again, "Zhi Zhi! It's already done for you!"

Zhi Zhi Zhi was overjoyed, and said crisply: "Hey! Thank you, big sister!"

Aunt Pan helped her forehead helplessly.

Xiao Zhang was in a hurry and asked Zhi Zhi, "Little sister, is this already done? I, I am still in a hurry to catch the train, look..." Zhi Zhi hurriedly said: "Hey, okay,

okay , thank you, Brother Zhang! Then you have worked hard... I wish Granny Zhang a speedy recovery!"

Xiao Zhang nodded to her and hurried away.

Xiao Zhang who walked out of the Educated Youth Office quickly passed by Ying Yushi who walked into the Educated Youth Office.

Ying Yushi was still wearing a white coat that was too late to take off.

"Farewell Zhizhi, what have you done?" Ying Yushi asked anxiously.

——In the morning, a few workers who suffered work-related injuries were brought over from the workshop, and the injuries were quite serious. Ying Yushi was so busy that she was busy. After dealing with the injuries of these employees, she heard a colleague say that the HR department called her. She felt strange, so she made a phone call, only to hear a shocking news!

The other party said: "Doctor Ying, are you busy today? You are so busy that you can't even get away from the assignment of quotas for your third son. Do you want Zhizhi to do it?" Ying Yushi was stunned at the time

.

She suddenly

remembered that Zhizhi had told her family about her plan before going to Weijia Village. Said that she wanted to use the letter of understanding to ask Tan Chunyu to find a way to get a sign to stay in the city. At that time, Zhizhi's intention was to give up this indicator to the third child.

But there was no consensus on the matter.

These few days Bie Fengjun has been on duty 24 hours a day...

Ying Yushi thought, let's talk about this when Lao Bie is not so busy.

I didn't expect this little girl to be so silent...

God, she's only seventeen years old, and she managed such a big deal all by herself? ? ?

When he was so angry that it rained, he immediately rushed to the Educated Youth Office to arrest him.

She was really caught!

However, before she could ask clearly, many clerks in the Educated Youth Office smiled and congratulated her, "Doctor Ying, congratulations, your job in Yanxi has been solved!"

Ying Yushi: ... in

front of outsiders, she It's not easy to have a seizure, so I had to lose my smile for a while, then pulled Zhi Zhi and left the Educated Youth Station.

"Mom, wait for me!"

Zhizhi broke free from her mother's restraint, ran to the bulletin board at the gate of the factory's family area, and then took out three large apology letters written by Tan Chunyu herself and a bottle of syrup from her messenger bag. Confused, carefully paste the three apology letters on the bulletin board.

"Okay, mom, let's go home!" Zhizhi said.

She is so happy.

——Finally get this done!

Ying Yushi looked at the letter of apology posted on the bulletin board in surprise.

In the letter of apology, Tan Chunyu wrote clearly about the situation back then, and expressed her guilt towards her and her husband in the letter, and reflected on herself. Forgiveness from everyone here...

Ying Yushi stared at the letter in a daze, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

She turned her head and looked at her daughter with rosy cheeks. Her cheerful look... really made Ying Yu feel relieved and distressed.

She held back her tears and pulled her daughter home, and then yelled at Pengpeng, "Pengpeng, go to your father's place immediately, and call your father and your elder brother back!" Pengpeng was startled

.

She looked at her mother, then at her younger sister...

She also knew that her mother must have caused some trouble by being so angry.

Without even thinking about it, Peng Peng said: "Mom, don't blame Zhizhi, I blame me for this..."

"Blame you?" Ying Yushi became even angrier.

Of course she knew Pengpeng's character, honest, impulsive, stubborn to the bottom, still unable to hide her words.

This matter can't possibly have anything to do with Peng Peng.

The only possibility is——

Pengpeng tried to divert her anger and was covering up Zhizhi.

"Don't I have to blame you?" Ying Yushi scolded Pengpeng angrily, "Isn't it because you two spoiled her! She can cause such a big incident today, but what about tomorrow? What will happen tomorrow? Son?"

Peng Peng was frightened.

She had never seen her mother get so angry that she was about to cry?

Pengpeng had no choice but to quickly put on his shoes, and whispered to Zhizhi: "...Don't be afraid, I'll go find Dad to save you!" Then he ran away quickly.

Only Zhi Zhi and her mother are left in the family.

Zhizhi took the initiative to confess, and stated the agreement between her and Tan Chunyu, and handed over the materials she had transferred in for the job index that she had prepared for the third brother, and also presented the IOU written by Tan Chunyu...

When it rained, I was stunned.

Chapter 24

Bie Fengjun and his eldest son Bie Yandong hurried back.

Shan Chaofeng came back because Mrs. Pan called her. Pengpeng originally ran to look for the elder sister-in-law, but in vain, she simply called the second sister-in-law back...

She thought that only with a large number of people and strength can she protect her sister!

As soon as everyone entered the door, they saw Ying Yushi and Bie Zhizhi sitting on the sofa... Ying Yushi's face was full of tears, and Zhizhi's face was fawning.

"What's wrong?" Bie Fengjun pushed his glasses, and he was still wearing the blue overalls that he hadn't changed in time.

Ying Yushi glared at Zhi Zhi, and said to her husband, "Don't you, come and have a look!"

Zhi Zhi obediently stood up and gave up her seat to her father.

Bie Fengjun went over to sit beside his wife, took the stack of documents she handed over, and just glanced at it twice before he widened his eyes in shock, and looked at Zhizhi in disbelief.

Ying Yushi sniffed and said, "This is your precious daughter! She decided on such a big matter by herself without saying hello... The most outrageous thing is that she was even asked to do it It's done!"

Bie Yandong couldn't help but also went forward, took a look at the documents in his father's hand, and was instantly stunned.

Bie Yannan also leaned over to take a look, and said in surprise: "...Is this the third child's job index notice? Is this... an IOU? It was written by Tan Chunyu? My God, did she write so many?

" Chaofeng and Wang Zongxiu also leaned over to have a look.

Bie Fengjun asked: "Zhizhi, what's going on?"

Zhizhi whispered about her "deal" with Tan Chunyu, and said, "I think it's a good deal."

Ying Yu Tears flowed down my face at the time, "But shouldn't that index be given to yourself?"

Zhizhi said, "I have always been well protected by my third brother. My physical fitness is so poor. After being rescued by my third brother, I Nothing happened at all, but the third brother, he was in good health, but suffered so many crimes..."

"Dad, Mom, whoever stays in the city with my third brother, to you, it's a matter of flesh on the palms of your hands! Since it's hard for you to make a choice, let me make the decision! The letter of understanding must be written by me to be effective. , Of course it is... I want Tan Chunyu to compensate, she will compensate. Now, I am very satisfied with this situation." Zhi Zhi said.

The family members looked at each other in blank dismay.

Wang Zongxiu asked in a low voice: "Zhizhi, then you gave this indicator to your third brother, what should you do?"

Zhizhi replied indifferently: "Doesn't Luo Jianhua have another indicator?"

Shan Chaofeng frowned, "But Zhizhi, you didn't agree to marry him a few days ago..."

Zhizhi said again: "Marrying Luo Jianhua is just a bad idea, and I still have Tan Chunyu's IOU in my hand! There is still a long way to go before signing up for going to the countryside." In more than a month, if you are lucky, you can still meet someone who sells indicators?"

Then she said solemnly: "Dad, Mom! The eldest brother and sister-in-law, the second brother and the second sister-in-law, the fourth sister... are here. At this juncture, we should be united! Then ask carefully where there are surplus indicators..."

There are many children in the family, who should stay in the city and who should go to the countryside, it is really difficult for Ying Yushi and Bie Fengjun to choose.

But Zhizhi can't go to the countryside, this is their consensus and the bottom line.

Now it's hard to have an indicator...

Zhi Zhi gave this indicator to the third child.

The mutual love between the children is gratifying, but it also makes Bie Fengjun and Ying Yushi feel guilty and uncomfortable.

Bie Fengjun was silent, his eyes were red when it rained.

Zhizhi

smiled and said: "Okay, I don't care... I've already done this matter. I don't care about the rest! Mom, I want to eat something delicious at noon! Also, when will the third brother come back?" Home? Mom, I want my third brother to go home..."

Ying Yushi sniffled, "Your third brother will be discharged from the hospital in a few days, and we will bring him back tomorrow Saturday... Tell me what you want to eat delicious?"

Zhizhi racked her brains to think, "I want to eat tender cold bamboo shoots, and I want to eat the steamed eggs made by my second sister-in-law! And... I want red dates and brown sugar porridge!"

Everyone in the family laughed.

——Xiao Nizi is so annoying. The things I want to eat are indeed fresh in season. You may not be able to find them, but they are all cheap and not expensive.

Wang Zongxiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, everything is on me! After work, I will go outside to see if there are any spring bamboo shoots for sale."

It was only past ten in the morning, and the family members hurried back to their posts.

Only Zhi Zhi and Peng Peng are left in the family.

Zhizhi invited Pengpeng to go shopping, Pengpeng hesitated for a while, and agreed.

The two sisters each carried a vegetable basket and went out.

There are more than 5,000 formal employees in the iron and steel factory, and the entire area has a population of no less than 20,000 including their families. In the small alley diagonally opposite the family compound, there is a short market hidden, and many ordinary people set up their shops here The stall sells some handmade items.

In fact, there is a low mountain behind the compound of the steel factory, where most families have opened up wasteland, growing their own vegetables to improve food and save living costs. The same is true for Zhi Zhi's family. The family also built a low fence to enclose their own vegetable field, and even raised seven or eight chickens, a dozen ducks and two geese.

The same goes for other families in the factory, so everyone seldom goes out to buy vegetables.

As a result, although there are some people selling vegetables at stalls in this small alley, there are very few such stalls. On the contrary, they sell stewed vegetables, various snacks, and a lot of homemade sleeves and gowns, as well as wholesale small daily necessities such as soap, needlework, labor gloves, rags, etc., and sell chickens. Ducks and geese...

someone really sells fresh bamboo shoots!

Pengpeng paid for three catties of fresh bamboo shoots, then Zhi Zhi bought a large bag of rags, and finally at Zhi Zhi's request, Peng Peng bought a catty of candy and asked the hawker to knock the hard ones The sugar was smashed into pieces with a hammer, and two big bags were wrapped in tung leaves.

Back at the family compound, it was still early, and the two sisters were sitting on the playground eating knock-knock candies.

Zhizhi in her previous life had never even seen this kind of candy.

But in this era, Knock Knock Candy is the most common and popular candy—it is milky white and should be made of maltose.

Zhi Zhi sucked the sweet candy in her mouth, thinking about what she would do next.

——How can I persuade her family to agree to her going to the countryside to jump in the queue?

"...Zhi Zhi, what do you think?"

Zhi Zhi suddenly heard such a sentence from the fourth sister beside her?

"What?" Zhizhi asked quickly.

Pengpeng's eyes turned red, and he said it again, "I mean, I'm really stupid...Everyone contributes to the family, but I'm stupid and I can't do anything..." Zhi Zhi smiled and touched

her "It's okay, it's okay, no matter how stupid you are, you're still from our family, there's nothing you can do about it!"

Peng Peng was stunned.

How could she not hear the pampering in her sister's words?

But she wanted to cry even more.

"Zhizhi, is there any way for us... the whole family to be together neatly?

Now that has the quota to stay in the city, and the younger sister also has the quota to stay in the city, is that, is it me... Are you going to the countryside?" Peng Peng asked anxiously.

Zhizhi looked at her with a smile, "What are you so afraid of? Parents will support the sky when it falls!"

Saying that, Zhizhi stuffed a small piece of candy into Pengpeng's mouth.

Pengpeng fell silent with a sweet candy in his mouth.

On Saturday, Ying Yushi asked for leave, took Pengpeng and Zhizhi to the hospital, and brought the youngest Bie Yanxi back from the hospital.

As soon as he got home, Bie Yanxi learned from his family members that Zhi Zhi used the letter of forgiveness he wrote to Tan Chunyu to set him a target...

He was moved and angry at the same time, struggling to get up and go The personnel department went through the formalities and gave up the quota to Zhizhi; Zhizhi spent a whole day comforting him for a long time before he acquiesced with red eyes.

On Sunday, at Zhizhi's strong request, the whole family had a lively meal at the state-run restaurant.

This is Zhi Zhi's first time eating out since she came to this world.

In fact, eating in a state-run restaurant is not as good as the second sister-in-law Wang Zongxiu's craftsmanship in terms of the taste of the dishes; in terms of the environment, because the family saves money, I didn't go to the private room, sitting in the lobby, which is not much different from the canteen of the unit, it is a mess; in terms of service As for the attitude, basically nothing, nothing compared to modern times, even the waiters in the state-run restaurants are more imposing than the diners, with their nostrils upturned, and they look indifferent... Zhizhi really experienced it, and decided to come to the state-run restaurants less often in the

future Restaurant for dinner.

Monday is the day when Tan Chunyu's case is in court. Ying Yushi asked for leave and took Zhizhi to the court to attend the hearing. The scene of the trial was very serious, and Zhi Zhi listened very carefully.

It is said that Tan Chunyu's defense lawyer was specially invited by Wu Qin to the provincial capital, and it is indeed very good. Tan Chunyu's case was relatively simple, and Tan Chunyu pleaded guilty very well, so the trial process went smoothly.

Later, as a party, Zhizhi appeared in court to testify that the letter of understanding she wrote to Tan Chunyu was written by her own handwriting, and it was also in her heart.

In the end, Tan Chunyu's sentence came down: one sentence suspended.

Tan Chunyu breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhizhi gratefully.

Wu Qin kept looking at Ying Yushi and Bie Zhizhi's mother and daughter with puzzled eyes.

After the trial, Ying Yushi and Bie Zhizhi went home.

Pengpeng has already prepared meals at home, and the whole family just had lunch...

Wu Qin came to the door.

Why she came, Ying Yu knew it well.

"Okay, okay, take the children back when you've finished eating!" Ying Yushi told the daughters-in-law.

Shan Chaofeng and Wang Zongxiu responded, and went out with their children. Before going out, Shan Chaofeng also called out Pengpeng and Zhizhi.

Only Ying Yushi, Wu Qin, and Bie Yanxi lying in the small room were left at home.

However, Wu Qin didn't know that Bie Yanxi was there.

She went straight to the point, "Have you thought about the 3,500 yuan?" Wu Qin's attitude was not polite.

——She didn't even mention Jianhua and Zhizhi's marriage, but directly used "3,500 yuan" to refer to it, which was completely insulting. Not to mention the fire in her heart when she was responding to the rain, even Bie Yanxi, who was lying in the back room and coughing desperately, was flushed with anger.

But Ying Yushi was still worried about whether Wu Qin could give Luo Jianhua another pointer, and although Zhizhi seemed to be indifferent, she didn't seem to be very repulsed to marry Luo Jianhua?

Ying Yushi had no choice but to answer: "Our family is still raising money."

Wu Qin went out of town on Friday, only

came back , and today Monday went directly to see Tan Chunyu's trial...

She felt something was wrong.

In Wu Qin's plan, Tan Chunyu is a very important pawn.

She needs to rely on Tan Chunyu to earn a lot of money, so that she can buy Luo Jianhua's quota for staying in the city. At the same time, she also knows what Tan Chunyu is thinking, and she is determined not to let Tan Chunyu become her daughter-in-law as she wished... The

best way is to coax Tan Chunyu to go to jail after earning money.

So when Tan Chunyu said last Friday that there was a sum of money that Wu Qin had to pick up in person, Wu Qin agreed without hesitation, and also brought Tan Chunyu with her.

The purpose is: to make Tan Chunyu have no time to go to Bie Zhizhi to ask for a letter of forgiveness.

But why did Tan Chunyu come up with a letter of understanding today? Why did Bie Zhizhi take the initiative to testify in court, proving that the letter of understanding was written by her own hand?

Now Tan Chunyu has been given a suspended sentence, which means...

Tan Chunyu doesn't have to go to jail.

The more Wu Qin thought about it, the more she felt that things were out of her control.

Did something happen that she didn't know about?

This is the real purpose of Wu Qin's visit to another house today to inquire about news.

After hearing Ying Yushi's words now, Wu Qin was both proud and contemptuous.

The proud thing is that Bie's family has always been very beautiful in the compound, and they can't even afford 3,500 yuan! She was different, this weekend she went to withdraw more than a thousand dollars! With the money that Tan Chunyu has on hand... her family must be a ten thousand yuan household in a while!

What's contemptuous is that Ying Yushi's woman is really bad, she doesn't know how to run a business at all, Bie Fengjun was blind before marrying her!

"By the way, why did Zhizhi write a letter of understanding to Tan Chunyu?" Wu Qin asked.

Ying Yushi, "Because Tan Chunyu wrote an apology letter and posted it at the gate of the family compound, didn't you see it?"

Wu Qin sneered.

——This other family is too noble, isn't it a letter of apology for a letter of understanding? Stupid!

"You...you didn't mention any other conditions?" Wu Qin asked again.

Ying Yushi, "Zhizhi talked with Tan Chunyu herself, we didn't interfere."

"Aren't you stupid!"

Wu Qin said mercilessly, "How old is Zhizhi? She knows a shit... so If you don’t take advantage of good opportunities, you really deserve it for not being able to get 3,500 yuan in your life!”

Ying Yushi was stunned.

Wu Qin sighed again, "Oh, I don't understand either. Fengjun's salary of one hundred yuan a month, you have at least sixty, right? Your boss has already evaluated the title, and you must have fifty yuan a month! The second child is in the procurement department, that's a fat job! And your two daughters-in-law are useless, but there are more than 30 in a month... Do the math yourself, your family has more than 30 in a month Three or four hundred dollars in income! After so many years, you haven’t even saved three thousand dollars? When it’s raining, you should reflect on where you got all the money?” In the entire courtyard,

Wu Qin was the most The one who is jealous is Ying Yushi. Ying Yushi was a flower in a steel factory when she was young, and there are a lot of young men who woo her, otherwise Fengjun wouldn't like her. Until now, Ying Yushi is still the most elegant and dignified existence in the factory. No matter men, women, young or old, no matter how rascal, they are always very restrained when they see her, and greet her gently and cordially... Even Wu Qin's husband Lao Luo also corresponds to

Yushi With all the praise, Wu Qin always compares her family with others every time she is not convinced.

Now that she has money in hand, she suddenly feels that she is superior to Ying Yushi...

Ying Yushi was furious, her almond eyes widened, trying to control her emotions, and

said calmly: "Director Wu, I am going to rest, please You go back!"

As she spoke, she walked to the gate, opened it, and said to Wu Qin, "You are not welcome in our house! Please don't come to our house again!" "Oh, it sounds like

I As if willing to come to your house!" Wu Qin was proud of having money in her hand, and her tone could not conceal her arrogance, "I left my words here when it was raining...you drove me away today Yes, don't cry and beg me in the future!"

"You!" Ying Yushi was trembling with anger.

——Before she thought that Wu Qin was Wu Qin, and Luo Jianhua was Luo Jianhua. No matter how bad Wu Qin was, when Zhizhi and Luo Jianhua got married in the future, it would be fine as long as the young couple didn't live with their parents-in-law.

But now it seems that Wu Qin treats her so rudely, if Zhizhi really marries Luo Jianhua, she doesn't know what kind of anger she will suffer!

This dear, it doesn't matter if you don't get married!

Even so, Ying Yushi was so angry that his eyes turned red.

But after Wu Qin was kicked out by Ying Yushi, she was still a little unwilling, and simply wandered around the downstairs twice, stopping Zhizhi and Pengpeng who were about to go home.

"Zhizhi, come here. Auntie asked you something." Wu Qin took Bie Zhizhi a few steps to the side and asked in a low voice, "When did you write the letter of understanding to Tan Chunyu? Why didn't you tell me in advance? Auntie? Did you ask her for something?"

Zhizhi said, "There are three big sheets of apology letter written by Tan Chunyu on the door, didn't you see it?"

"That's it?" Wu Qin seemed to be looking Looking at the pretty girl like a fool.

Bie Zhizhi said crisply and loudly: "Of course! If you know a mistake, it is a human virtue to correct it! Besides, we are all the successors of socialism!"

Wu Qin choked on her words.

When going to work in the afternoon, Wu Qin always felt restless.

She suddenly realized something, so she took the roster of educated youth who went to the countryside, and looked through it... Suddenly her eyes widened.

——What about the third child's name?

How did you cross it out?

Wu Qin was furious, slapped the table, and asked, "Xiao Pan, why was Bie Yanxi's name crossed out?" She subconsciously felt that it was Xiao Pan (Sister-in-Law Pan) who tampered with the roster.

Mrs. Pan stood up with a look of grievance, "Director, this is none of my business!"

Wu Qin said angrily, "You still say it's not you? You and Shan Chaofeng are as good as twin sisters... What, she I came here to beg you to cross out her brother-in-law’s name, and you just did it? Do you know the seriousness of the problem? You will be held accountable for this!” A clerk next to him said timidly: “

Director, this matter has nothing to do with the little one. It has nothing to do with Pan, yes, I did it."

Wu Qin turned to look at the clerk.

Ten minutes later, Wu Qin finished checking the materials submitted by Bie Yanxi. All the materials are complete, and the procedures are complete, in full compliance with the policies and regulations.

She became more and more uneasy.

Just such a coincidence?

She went to another place, and the other family had an extra job index?

After thinking about it, Wu Qin simply rushed to the personnel department, and said that he wanted to see the transfer materials of Bie Yanxi's labor position.

The head of the personnel department and Wu Qin have always been at loggerheads, and said bluntly, "Bie Yanxi's job transfer materials have been handed in to the superiors for stamping, and they are not here now." Wu Qin said, "Then tell

me Who am I who transferred the indicators to him."

The head of the personnel department said, "How do I know?"

"Why don't you know what you've done?" Wu Qin roared angrily.

The head of the personnel department looked at her with disdain, "Then let me ask you, you have five clerks under your command, do you remember their full names, ages and places of origin?"

Wu Qin was taken aback.

The head of the personnel department said, "There are nearly 6,000 people in our factory, some of whom are transferred into and out of labor positions, and there are also those who evaluate titles and transfer grades. We are also responsible for all job training in the factory... The materials are not at hand, who remembers so much? Besides, Bie Yanxi is not your son, why do you care about him so much?"

Wu Qin was slumped and rushed away angrily.

After much deliberation, she still felt that something was wrong, so she simply rode a bicycle and went to the countryside to find Xiao Zhang.

As a result, when she arrived in the village, Xiao Zhang's place of work had already closed. Wu Qin couldn't find out where Xiao Zhang's house lived, so she had to come back in despair.

When she got home, she looked at Tan Chunyu, who was cooking with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, and felt angry.

"Tan Chunyu, let me ask you, when did you ask Bie Zhizhi to write a letter of understanding?" Wu Qin asked.

Tan Chunyu said obediently: "I have been looking for her all the time... I wrote an apology letter in advance according to her request, and then she gave me the letter of understanding early this morning." Tan Chunyu has long known Wu Qin

's As a human being, I know that once the matter is exposed, Wu Qin will definitely not let it go, and maybe he will report other companies' trading indicators to stay in the city. Once Wu Qin does this and Bie's family is implicated, Bie Zhizhi will definitely file a civil lawsuit to the court and demand that Tan Chunyu be severely punished-don't look at Tan Chunyu's case is closed, but Bie Zhizhi still has three months to pursue the lawsuit .

The top priority is to not let Wu Qin know the truth no matter what.

Until...Tan Chunyu found a new indicator to stay in the city and bought it for Luo Jianhua.

Only in this way can he not be afraid of Wu Qin's revenge.

——Wu Qin wants to say goodbye to the house, but Luo's house is also dirty!

Wu Qin stared at Tan Chunyu, and asked: "Don't Zhizhi be so stupid, she just asked you to write a letter of apology, and she wrote you a letter of forgiveness?"

Tan Chunyu said in a low voice: "Their family is a good person. "

"Tch, are they good people?" Wu Qin was aggressive, "They are good people, so why are you staying at my house? You go to their house!" As soon as these words came out—the

Luo

family all stared at Tan Chunyu.

Tan Chunyu is not completely temperless.

She was ashamed, ashamed and angry, her eyes were red, she took off the apron around her waist and ran out of Luo's house.

Wu Qin froze for a moment, then laughed angrily, "Yo, you're still angry!"

Luo's father frowned, "After dinner later, you wash the dishes."

Wu Qin: ...

She has money in her hand, even her husband I don't like it, how can I wash the dishes, "You let me wash the dishes? Why don't you do it?"

Luo's father stared at her, "You have money in your hand, are you crazy? You don't See who earns the money."

Wu Qin: ...

She had no choice but to order: "Jianhua, you go and get her back!"

Luo Jianhua, "I won't go."

"Go!" Wu Qin urged, "...Your quota for staying in the city has not yet expired." If you get it, she will still be useful to us! You also want to get the Liucheng indicator quickly and marry Bie Zhizhi, right?"

Luo Jianhua was so annoyed, but he had to stand up and go out to find Tan Chunyu.

Tan Chunyu was crying outside when she suddenly saw Luo Jianhua running over...

her heart suddenly became soft and warm.

It seems that he still cares about me a little bit.

Tan Chunyu felt a sweet taste in her heart.

Regarding Luo Jianhua's target of staying in the city, Tan Chunyu is not completely clueless.

Thanks to traveling around outside these days, she really found an indicator that she seemed to be able to get her hands on.

Still, she has to go to the event again.

In the following days, Wu Qin and Tan Chunyu were busy with their own business.

Wu Qin looked for Xiao Zhang like crazy. But Xiao Zhang's colleagues told her that Xiao Zhang's mother was seriously ill and was hospitalized in the provincial capital. A few days ago, Xiao Zhang borrowed some money from neighbors and colleagues and went to the provincial capital, and did not say when he would come back...

Tan Chun Yu has been busy with the strategy of the new stay in the city indicators.

In the end, Tan Chunyu really found it.

However, this index of staying in the city is not as good as the one that Xiao Zhang transferred to Bie Yanxi before.

——Now that Bie Yanxi's position has become regular, he will be able to go to work in the steel factory when he recovers.

But the new job that Tan Chunyu found is a job in a local chopsticks factory.

The scale of the chopsticks factory is small, and the wages and benefits are far inferior to those of the steel factory. The asking price was not that high, only 1,200 yuan.

Tan Chunyu happened to still hold so much money in her hand, and it was Wu Qin who asked her to do business.

Tan Chunyu manages it carefully, boldly and generously doing the reselling business, and becomes a spinning top... She must not let Wu Qin realize that she has already spent 3,000 yuan to buy it for Bie Yanxi index.

Soon, June will be over.

Stepping into July, Xiao Zhang "entrusted someone" to bring a message to Wu Qin, saying that he would not transfer this index for the time being.

This is actually what Tan Chunyu instructed Xiao Zhang to do.

If Xiao Zhang didn't do this, Wu Qin would go to him every now and then, and he would be very annoyed.

The news caused the Luo family to fall into unprecedented anxiety and depression.

Tan Chunyu informed Wu Qin of the index of the chopsticks factory in due course.

Although the chopsticks factory is no better than the steel factory, there is no way to do it now... Luo Jianhua reluctantly went through the transfer of the chopsticks factory at the behest of his parents.

Luo Jianhua was able to stay in the city, and Wu Qin's heart was relieved, but she felt an unknown fire in her heart. After rubbing Tan Chunyu arbitrarily at home, she still felt puzzled, so she ran to another house.

There are many families, especially children, and the meal is very lively and slow.

When Wu Qin arrived home, the other family had just finished eating.

Seeing Wu Qin, everyone was very surprised.

Wu Qin didn't take it seriously, and walked in the door with a smile, "Yo, I'm still eating..."

She wanted to ridicule that the food at other houses was not as good as her own, but she stared at a large bowl of milky white fish sprinkled with emerald green chives on the table. Soup, a plate of unfinished braised fish...

the sarcasm of "this is what your family eats" that almost slipped out of his throat was automatically swallowed back.

——Her family also ate fried tofu today, which is a little more advanced than vegetarian dishes!

Wu Qin felt even more embarrassed.

She looked at Ying Yushi maliciously.

Ying Yushi received a very, very bad news today, and he was in a terrible mood. But caring about the children and grandchildren at home, she held back desperately, and had dinner with her family with a forced face and a smile.

She originally wanted to wait for the children to leave, and then discuss this matter with her husband... Unexpectedly,

Wu Qin came to the door.

Ying Yu was particularly annoying to her, even with a bad tone, "Is Director Wu having a bad memory? Didn't I say that last time? You are not welcome in our family! Please go back!" Wu Qin was taken

aback

.

She also laughed angrily, "Okay, okay, I'm meddling in my own business! I thought it was already mid-July, and your family, Bie Pengpeng and Bie Zhizhi, haven't registered for the educated youth until now... I kindly wanted to give you an idea, but you..."

At this point, Wu Qin prolonged the ending on purpose, and waited for the other family members to ask "what's the idea", so she could come and get Joe.

As a result—

no one paid attention to her at all? !

Wu Qin was stunned.

After a moment of stunned, she understood.

There are only two people left in the other family, Pengpeng and Zhizhi, who have no quota to stay in the city, so it is still a certainty that who will go to the countryside?

——Pengpeng is not the biological daughter of Bie Fengjun and his wife!

Wu Qin turned her head to look at Pengpeng, showing pity, "Pengpeng, Aunt Wu advises you... go to the Educated Youth Office to sign up early, and Auntie will choose a good place for you!" Pengpeng's face turned pale

. .

Ying Yushi couldn't control his emotions all of a sudden, glared at Wu Qin, and scolded: "Why are you talking nonsense to my daughter in front of me? Or, your son Luo Jianhua is going to marry Tan Chunyu, what are you doing?" Come to our house to send invitations? Let me tell you, Wu Qin, just tell me, when and where will you hold a wedding for them, and I will definitely be there on time! I will never give less money!"

Wu Qin: ...

No, she came today to show off to Ying Yushi. Because her son can already stay in the city, even though he went to the chopsticks factory, it's better than going to the countryside!

And the most important purpose of her coming here today is to ask Ying Yushi if she wants to marry her family. If Bie Zhizhi can come with a dowry of 5,000 yuan, she will reluctantly agree to let her son marry Bie Zhizhi.

But Ying Yushi blocked all her words with one sentence.

How does this make her pick up?

"You, don't talk nonsense," Wu Qin stammered, "What's the matter between me, our Jianhua and Tan Chunyu... They are innocent..." Ying Yushi sneered, "

Tan Chunyu lived in It has been more than two months in your family, and you told me that she and your son are innocent? Then let me ask you, your house is the same as mine, it is a three-bedroom house, and your house is not as spacious as mine...You two The couple sleeps in the same room, your eldest couple sleeps in the same room with their dolls, and your three sons share the same room, where does Tan Chunyu sleep?" "

Will she sleep with your couple? Or with your eldest family? Or with her?" Sleeping with your three sons?" Ying Yushi asked.

Ying Yushi has a kind and gentle personality, always smiles when she sees people, and maintains a dignified demeanor even when she is angry. She is a model of a good wife and mother who is praised by everyone in the compound.

Wu Qin has never seen such a hot and sad Ying Yushi?

For a moment, Wu Qin was dumbfounded, and stammered: "That's, it's not... I, I let her sleep on the balcony..." Ying Yushi hummed, and said

: "You said the words , did we see it with our own eyes?"

Not only Wu Qin was dumbfounded by this response to the rain, but other family members were also a little surprised.

Bie Fengjun said loudly: "Director Wu, our family still has things to deal with. If you have something to do, just tell me, okay?"

Bie Fengjun was a tall and handsome man when he was young, and he looks like a man now A refined and handsome middle-aged man. As soon as he spoke, Wu Qin blushed.

She looked at Bie Fengjun, and said in a low voice: "I, I want to tell you... my family Jianhua has already obtained the index of staying in the city, so..." She said, she gave Zhi Zhi a meaningful look.

When Ying Yu saw Wu Qin's expression, she knew what she wanted to say, and couldn't help feeling angry

, and opened her mouth to curse...

Wu Qin didn't dare to take Qiao anymore, so she hurriedly said to Bie Fengjun: "So I'll come here and ask , do you want to marry my family? If you don’t want Zhizhi to marry our Jianhua, I, I don’t ask much, as long as you prepare a dowry of 5,000 yuan for Zhizhi... plus the set that your family lives in now house, I just..."

Ying Yushi was so angry that his face was flushed, and he wanted to beat someone up.

Bie Fengjun quickly hugged his wife, and then said to Wu Qin: "We, Zhizhi, don't like Luo Jianhua, they have no fate. Director Wu, please go and earn 5,000 yuan from other people!" Don Yannan stepped

forward , said to Wu Qin viciously: "Aunt Wu, are you going by yourself? Or should I take you out?"

As he spoke, he pushed open the door with a "bang", and the huge movement frightened Wu Qin's heart thumping wildly. Jump!

Wu Qin hastily left the other house...

Standing in the corridor, she had the confidence to stand up for herself, pointing sternly at the door of the other house, "If you don't have money, you still do this..." "Get out!

" Yan Nan roared angrily.

Wu Qin was terrified and ran away in a frenzy.

Bie Yannan then gently closed the door and turned to look at his mother.

Ying Yushi had already been helped by Bie Fengjun to sit on the sofa, "Yushi, what happened to you today?"

In fact, the family members had already seen Ying Yushi's abnormal emotions, and the children and grandchildren were afraid to speak. Eyes around Ying Yushi.

Ying Yushi took a quick look at Zhi Zhi, then quickly turned away, trying to control her already broken emotions.

Zhizhi was startled.

——It seems that mom is out of control or is it because of herself?     Zhizhi leaned over, squatted at her mother's feet, looked up

at Ying Yushi, "Mom, what happened?"

The ground rolled down from the corner of the eye.

This made her hate Wu Qin to the core.

If it wasn't for Wu Qinlai's outburst, at least she wouldn't lose control of her emotions. Originally, I wanted to comfort Zhizhi first, and then tell Zhizhi the bad news, but I didn't expect...

"I'm really fine," Ying Yushi cried, "you, you haven't finished your meal yet? Hurry, hurry up Eat, it won't taste good when it's cold..."

The children and grandchildren looked at each other.

Shan Chaofeng said: "Mom, we have already eaten. If you have something on your mind, just say it, why hide it from us? Just like you and Dad have always taught us, we are a big family, no matter what When encountering any difficulties, everyone will use their strength to one place, and the trouble will always be solved..."

Shan Chaofeng is also a gentle and kind person.

After being comforted by the eldest daughter-in-law's soft words, Ying Yushi's emotions gradually calmed down.

She pulled Zhizhi into her arms and hugged her tightly, then tremblingly took out a telegram from her pocket and handed it to her husband.

Bie Fengjun took a look and was stunned.

The eldest son, Bie Yandong, quickly took it over, and after a quick glance, he showed a surprised expression.

Don't Yannan snatched it and looked at it, then handed it to his wife Wang Zongxiu; Wang Zongxiu looked at it, and he was stunned... Shan Chaofeng also took it and looked at it, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Zhizhi didn't understand at all what happened.

Why did everyone look at her with such shock, sadness, sadness and pity after reading the telegram?

Until Peng Peng took the telegram and muttered——

[On July 5th, I remembered him and sacrificed his life for the country. Although I am deeply saddened, I am proud of him. I would like to inform all relatives and friends that if you have any old things that you want to remember, please send them as soon as possible to set up a clothes tomb. 】

For a while, Zhizhi couldn't react.

who? Who died for the country?

It seems to be... read it?

Li Nianzhi? !

He...

Li Nianzhi died? ? ?

Ying Yushi hugged her daughter tightly, and said sadly: "Zhizhi, this telegram is from your godmother (Li Nianzhi's mother)...Zhizhi, if you are sad, just cry out, don't worry about it. Hold it in your heart, think of him, it is also his honor that he sacrificed his life for the country..."

Zhi Zhi was stunned.

Chapter 25

Upon hearing the news of Li Nianzhi's death, Bie Zhizhi felt very complicated.

On the one hand, it was because he was the only child and died at a young age... I don't know how sad his parents were, Zhi Zhi sympathized with his parents very much.

On the other hand, the family members treated her very carefully, which made her feel very speechless.

Zhizhi even heard her mother, sisters-in-law and sisters avoiding her and weeping together—

"Nianzhi left at such a young age, how sad Zhizhi is!"

"Yeah, I haven't dared to Talking in front of Zhizhi, I always feel that everything I say is wrong."

"Don't think that Zhizhi is the same as usual, maybe it is so uncomfortable when she is behind her back!"

"She is less talkative and more thoughtful..."

So Zhizhi Very cooperative and quiet for a whole day.

At the same time, she also thought, this is a good reason to "escape emotional pain" and go to the countryside to jump in the queue!

After a day and a night of silence, on this day she locked the door and shut herself in the room, opened the small wooden box, took out the old photo with the young Li Nianzhi, and wrote a thick stack of originals to herself with a handkerchief. letter, and walked out of the room.

When Zhi Zhi handed over the old photos to Ying Yu, "Mom, please return this to Aunt Jiang (Li Nianzhi's mother)!" Everyone stared at

her expression closely.

Ying Yushi said distressedly: "Zhi Zhi, keep it for yourself, I have already asked your third brother to go to the yard to find old photos that others want to read..." "

Aunt Jiang needs it more than I do."

After finishing speaking, Zhizhi clutched the thick package of letters, went to the kitchen to get a box of matches and was ready to go out.

The family members were anxious and kept asking:

"Zhizhi, what are you doing?"

"Zhizhi, what are you doing with matches?"

"Zhizhi, if you are unhappy, please tell us..."

"Where are you going, Zhizhi?"

Zhizhi smiled slightly, "I'm not going anywhere, just... go downstairs."

She went out.

As soon as she got to the downstairs of the tube building, she heard the door of her house open, and a sentence from her mother floated out, "...just follow her quietly, watch carefully and don't let her do stupid things..."

Then Zhizhi heard the third brother "hmm" again.

Zhizhi didn't speak, and hurried away with her head bowed.

She wandered around the compound twice before finding a secluded and unoccupied space, then cleaned up the debris on the ground, squatted down, and sorted out the letters written by the original body one by one.

Zhizhi knew that these letters were not written to Li Nianzhi by the original body.

It was the original body who couldn't express his inner feelings, so he wrote them down to record his emotions...

Zhi Zhi kissed the letter, lit the match, and burned the letter paper in hand. Then, she kissed the letters one by one, throwing them into the small flame one by one, until all the letters were burned.

Not far away, Bie Yanxi, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene, her eyes turned red.

——Sister must love Li Nianzhi so much, right? So she has been insisting on writing to him for so many years... Now that Li Nianzhi is gone, she must be extremely sad.

After burning the letters, Zhizhi went to find some water to extinguish the ashes completely, and then went to sit in her vegetable garden in the back mountain for an afternoon.

She rushed home at dinner time...

maybe the third brother told the family about her burning letter.

There are sumptuous and delicious meals on the dining table, and everyone carefully

puts on a smiling face. But upon closer inspection, the mother's eye circles were red and red, the sisters hesitated to speak countless times, and even the little nephews and nieces were obediently quiet... Zhizhi sighed

.

After eating in silence, she talked to her family and went out for a walk.

These days, the parents specifically explained to Pengpeng and Tangtang that they must stay with Zhizhi every step of the way, and strive to let Zhizhi come out of grief as soon as possible.

Pengpeng and Tangtang kept their parents' words in mind, and accompanied Zhizhi all the time and every step of the way. And Pengpeng is a small housework expert, and most of the work of accompanying Zhizhi falls on Tangtang.

Zhizhi doesn't dislike her sister's company.

But she had to prepare her emotions for the future departure...

Even though Tangtang was with her, she didn't talk to Tangtang, she just walked slowly to the stream in the back mountain and sat there all afternoon. Tangtang tried to take her to catch shrimps by the stream several times, but she didn't show any interest...

When she got home, Tangtang reported Zhizhi's whereabouts and performance to her family today.

The third brother, Yanxi, felt extremely uncomfortable, and told the family members with red eyes, "When I was young, Nianzhi and I often took Zhizhi to the stream to touch fish and crabs. We both wore our clothes. Once we were too skinny and walked downstream along the creek... It was dark and Zhi Zhi was still guarding our clothes, crying too hard..." The next day, Zhi

Zhi Went to an open field on the back hill.

There was a bare, extremely thick, crooked-neck tree, and a wire loop was put on the top of the tree.

Zhi Zhi sat on the grass, staring at the wire circle all morning.

Back home, Tangtang reported Zhizhi's whereabouts and performance to his family today.

The third brother, Bie Yanxi, told the family with tears, "When I was young, Nianzhi and I used to take Zhizhi there to shoot and play basketball...there was also the secret base of the three of us. Once Nianzhi got into trouble and dared not go home, I secretly went there to hide in the middle of the night. I went back to my hometown...it was Zhizhi who brought Aunt Jiang there to find Nianzhi..." The

family really felt sorry for Zhizhi.

On this day, Zhizhi also went out.

Tangtang obediently followed her.

However, Zhizhi thought of a way to distract Tangtang, and immediately went to the Educated Youth Office.

Because Mrs. Pan also works in the Educated Youth Office, Zhizhi didn't go in.

She waited patiently.

Soon, Wu Qin came out of the Educated Youth Office—she put her hands behind her back, her face was flushed with energy, and she looked refreshed after training.

"Hello, Aunt Wu." Zhizhi hurriedly stood up.

Wu Qin was taken aback, looked at Zhi Zhi, rolled her eyes, and asked, "Zhi Zhi, what do you want from me?" Zhi Zhi

nodded, "Aunt Wu, I have something to ask you."

Hearing this, Wu Qin Qin is overjoyed!

——Hehe, let's just say, don't make Fengjun and Ying Yushi look so noble, and still don't come to her. In the end, Bie Zhizhi couldn't hold back herself! Tsk tsk, this young man... just can't hold his breath! Look, it's not here to beg her!

Recalling that she was called a dog by Ying Yu at another house two days ago...

Wu Qin vowed to take revenge in her heart, with a smug expression on her face that she couldn't hide, "Zhizhi, the situation is like this now Yes, our Jianhua conditions are here, and girls from several families have come to inquire about our Jianhua's specific situation, so..." "Aunt Wu,

I want to go to the countryside and jump in the queue." "

So you should also understand the market situation , even if

you bring a dowry of 5,000 yuan, it may not be enough, but now it has to be raised to 7,500 yuan..." Wu Qinwu said complacently.

Then she was stunned for a moment, and looked at Bie Zhizhi suspiciously, "You—"

"What did you say just now?" Wu Qin asked in disbelief.

Zhi Zhi said seriously: "Aunt Wu, I want to go to the countryside and join the queue to build a new countryside!"

Wu Qin stared at her blankly, and asked again, "You said - you want to go to the countryside to jump in the queue?"

Zhizhi nodded seriously.

Wu Qin was dumbfounded, and asked for a long time: "Do your parents know?" Zhi Zhi shook her head, and     then

said softly: "Aunt Wu, can you not tell them?"

Wu Qin even had to hide it from Mrs. Pan. Otherwise, with the friendship between Mrs. Pan and her own sister-in-law, she would definitely tell her parents. What if her parents withdraw her application to go to the countryside?

After hearing Zhi Zhi's words, Wu Qin's eyes rolled wildly.

——Today is already July 14th, according to Ying Yushi's love for Bie Zhizhi, if Bie Zhizhi went to the countryside, Ying Yushi would be pissed to death, right?

Wu Qin felt very happy just thinking about it!

However, Wu Qin still felt a little strange, and asked: "Why didn't you think to tell them?"

Bie Zhizhi didn't say much, just showed a sad expression, and replied: "I don't want to stay here anymore "

Wu Qin was taken aback for another moment, and suddenly understood after a while - news came from the capital a few days ago that Li Nianzhi had died. Bie Zhizhi and Li Nianzhi's childhood sweethearts grew up together, and this steel factory's compound is full of memories belonging to them...

No wonder Bie Zhizhi doesn't want to stay here.

No wonder Bie Zhizhi was unwilling to marry her son Luo Jianhua!

Wu Qin understood, but didn't take it seriously.

Love is a fart, live a good life... especially better than when it was raining, that is the reality!

However, as long as she can respond to the rain, Wu Qin is very happy, "Success! Zhizhi, Auntie will help you with this matter yourself! Come to our house in the afternoon, and I will fill in the information for you..." Bie

Zhizhi Zhi said very politely: "Aunt Wu, can I make an appointment with you to fill in the materials outside?"

——I don't want to go to your house, it would be troublesome to be entangled by Luo Jianhua!

Of course Wu Qin also understood Bie Zhizhi's implication.

She was a little upset, but she didn't care too much, so she nodded reservedly.

In the afternoon, Zhizhi found an opportunity to go to Wu Qin and filled out various forms neatly.

At this point, Wu Qin believed that Bie Zhizhi really wanted to go to the countryside, but instead she hesitated, "Zhizhi, are you really here?" Zhizhi smiled slightly, "

Aunt Wu, I heard that I just want to sign up on my own initiative. If you are in the countryside, you can choose a large-scale destination for going to the countryside, right?" "

Yes, there is such a thing, you can tell me where you want to choose." Wu Qin said.

Zhizhi said: "I heard that Nanling Island needs support for construction, and I want to go to Nanling Island."

Wu Qin's heart moved, but she didn't show it on her face, and said with a smile: "Okay! Auntie will go to the unit to help you register!"

Zhi Zhi smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Wu... I have to trouble you to keep this matter a secret for me, don't even mention Mrs. Pan, let's talk about it at the end of the month."

Wu Qin smiled and said yes, holding Zhi Zhi Zhi filled out the information and left in a hurry.

When he arrived at the unit, Wu Qin didn't say anything. First, he sent Xiao Pan out to run errands, and then someone

collected Biezhizhi to go to the countryside to support the construction of the intended location. Changed to -

Tongjia Bay.

Wu Qin stared at Bie Zhizhi's intended location on the roster, and smiled triumphantly.

Bie Zhizhi wants to go to the island?

Bah, it's not as she wished!

Go to Tongjia Bay!

Tongjiawan is a well-known high-incidence area of schistosomiasis in the country. It is said that many people have died of this disease.

Don't Zhizhi go there, but life and death are up to God! With her crooked appearance, she might get sick and die in two or three years!

Wu Qin squinted her eyes and smiled happily.

Who made Ying Yushi embarrass her over and over again? This time she wants to see, if Bie Zhizhi died outside, how she would cry in response to the rain!

After finishing all this, Wu Qin went out with the materials in person.

A clerk saw him, and felt a little strange, thinking that Wu Qin had never cared so much about his work, except for putting on an official airs.

Besides, it's mid-July now, and as a rule, they submit materials in the second half of the month, that is, around July 20th, and the superiors will reply before July 15th, and then the educated youths have to submit their materials within a week. According to the assignment of the superior, he went to various places.

Seeing that Wu Qin was about to leave the office, the clerk couldn't help asking: "Director, it's not yet the twentieth..."

Wu Qin waved her hand, "It's okay, I'll hand in a batch first, and the rest You hand it in again on the 20th." After speaking, she left in a hurry.

But she said that Zhizhi returned home after completing the registration.

Today, parents, brothers and sisters-in-law get off work very early.

Dinner time was also brought forward.

The dishes on the table are all according to Zhizhi's taste, light and nutritious.

The expressions of the parents and brothers and sisters-in-law are a little dignified.

Zhizhi now needs to play the role of grief, so she just keeps silent and eats silently with her head down.

The whole family ate in peace, until the adults had finished eating, and the children ate too much...

Bie Fengjun finally spoke.

"It's going to be the end of July soon. We have thought of so many ways, but we can't find any other suitable indicators. Pengpeng is 20 years old this year, and Zhizhi is 17 years old. They have both gone to the countryside as required by the policy. age, so..."

Tangtang interrupted him.

"Dad, I have a solution!" Tangtang said, "I'm only fifteen years old, I can give my quota to my fourth sister... In this way, I can't go to the countryside until I'm sixteen. According to the policy, our family It is possible to leave an adult child at home, so Fifth Sister does not have to go to the countryside... As for me, I still have a year to find a way to find the target." "Take a step back,

even if you really can't find it The target is set, let me go to the countryside... Let me go to my grandma's in Weijia Village to jump in the queue. It's not far from home, I can ride a bicycle back when I want to be my parents, and I can take care of my grandma ..." Tangtang said innocently.

The family all laughed.

Tangtang was indeed too naive.

First of all, Weijia Village is a relatively affluent village, and does not need the help of educated youths to build it...

Secondly, Wu Qin's big mouth, in order to get revenge on other families, has blocked this back road with rumors-Wu Qin said outside, don't meet you He Yingyushi is a hypocrite, raising Datangtang just to grab Tangtang's job index. Poor Tangtang is an orphan girl who has no father or mother. She was brainwashed by her adoptive parents and she is still grateful to Dade!

Bie Fengjun and Ying Yushi are indeed full of pride.

So although Tangtang's proposal is feasible, Bie Fengjun and Ying Yushi are unwilling to adopt it.

Bie Fengjun said: "It's like this, I have already asked the work unit for sick leave..."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhi Zhi was taken aback!

——Sick back? But my father is still very young. At the age of fifty-four, he runs and exercises every day, carries a bag of rice of one hundred catties and walks for two or three kilometers without breathing... Don't smile wryly, "No matter how big your heart is, no matter how big your dream is.

" Many people need to be supported by a healthy body. But as people get older, there will always be problems of one kind or another..." Ying Yushi added: "If

your father retires, a job will be vacated..."

Zhi Zhi understood, and asked back: "But Dad, you are the pillar of the factory, you retired, what will the factory do?"

Don Fengjun sighed.

Zhizhi said: "Dad, I don't agree with your retirement. If you are not in good health, you can take care of it slowly. My mother is a doctor, and she will take good care of you. And if you retire at this juncture, you... are worthy of cultivating you for so many years." organization?"

Bie Fengjun was stunned.

Ying Yushi hesitated and said: "Then I can retire... that's okay."

Zhizhi said: "Then there is no need! Our factory is so big, and there are only a few doctors in the clinic? Mom, how big are your job responsibilities? By yourself? If you retire, do you want me to be the top? But I don’t know medical skills either!”

Ying Yu couldn’t help but get red eyes again, “But I can’t just sit and watch..."

Peng Peng Gritting his teeth, "I'll go to the Educated Youth Office to sign up tomorrow!"

Zhi Zhi said, "Can't you sign up before the 19th? Why panic...it's only the 15th today, and there are still a few days left. Let's wait and see, in case Can we still meet the targets in the last three or four days?"

Having said that, everyone looked sad.

Chapter 26

In the following days, Zhizhi stayed at home and became more and more silent.

On July 17th, she avoided people to talk to her mother, "Mom, I want to go to the countryside and

jump in the queue..." "How can I do that!" After drinking, my daughter said, "Even if I go to the countryside...it will not be your turn to go to the countryside! Don't you know what your physical condition is? You can't even carry ten catties of flour! You have no stomach, eat some If it’s spicy, it’ll hurt your stomach, and if you’re too heavy to sleep, you’re prone to allergies…”

After speaking, Ying Yushi couldn’t help crying, “Zhizhi, why don’t you marry Luo Jianhua Well, even if Wu Qin asks us for a dowry of 7,000 yuan, we will..."

Zhizhi said in a low voice, "Mom, I don't want to stay here anymore."

Ying Yushi was startled, and stared at her daughter with wide eyes .

Seeing the disheartened look on her daughter's face, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and asked, "Farewell Zhizhi, you are only seventeen years old! I know you have been thinking about Nianzhi...but is Nianzhi more important than family members?"

"I'm sorry, Mom," Zhi Zhi said in a low voice, "You are more important than him..."

Zhi Zhi tried to clear her eyes, making her eyes lose focus and become distracted and gloomy.

Ying Yu's heart was like a knife, and he hugged his daughter tightly, "Silly boy! You are still young... you will meet better people in the future!" "

Good mother, I will listen to you." Yousi said.

So much for the conversation between mother and daughter.

On July 18th, Zhi Zhi talked to her mother again, "Mom, I want to..."

Ying Yu knew her daughter's thoughts, cried and shook her head desperately, "No, no!

" Say more.

On July 19, Ying Yushi took sick leave and stayed at home. She was anxious and uncomfortable, and there was nothing she could do, and her whole body was visibly depressed... Zhi Zhi observed her words and invited her mother out for a walk.

The mother and daughter walked to the shade under the playground.

When Zhi Zhi looked at Ying Yu, she clearly felt that her mother's spirit was on the verge of collapse.

——In the past half a month, everyone in the family has had a hard time. Three older brothers and two sisters-in-law took leave of absence and went out begging grandpa to tell grandma for pointers. Parents always close the door and quarrel in a low voice...

But the target is not the Chinese cabbage that grows in the field, there is no market at all.

Zhizhi took a deep breath, and said to Yushi: "Mom, I have signed up to go to the countryside to jump in the queue."

Yingyu suddenly raised her head and looked at her daughter.

Zhizhi resolutely said: "I want people all over the world to see that I am the daughter of Bie Fengjun and Ying Yushi, and that I am not a delicate flower in a greenhouse. Even if I were, I can survive in the harshest environment." , bloom the most beautiful flowers..."

"Mom, don't cry, I will take good care of myself. You always love me so much that you think I am still a child... But think about it, Grandma Wei is hurt After entering the hospital, I managed to earn so much money to help her pay for her hospitalization in just a few days. Tan Chunyu is so annoying, but I still tidied her up properly, and even returned it to my third brother I earned a target..."     "Mom, just focus on these two points, do you think your daughter is smart or not, capable or not? A smart child like me can take good care of herself no matter where she goes... ..."     "But look at my fourth sister, she is so honest... Even though she knew she was an adopted child, she also guessed that if parents were to choose between me and her for a child to go to the countryside, it would probably be She... But she can't even tell a lie, she     can only tell you what she really thinks in her heart...     " "Mom, when the fourth sister came to our house, she was still a baby who was born less than three days old. Although she It wasn't your own, but it was also brought up by you with all your efforts. Think about it, her temper has gone to the countryside, and it's okay if someone loves her, but what if... someone wants to harm her? She is so With a simple mind, how many lives are enough, and how many times can you hide?"     Zhizhi said slowly.

When it rained, he cried loudly.

——This is the most difficult choice for her!

The two daughters are her heart and soul, one is pure and the other is delicate. No matter which one left her, she couldn't bear it! What's more, it's still going to the countryside, going to the most difficult place...

"That can't be you!" Ying Yushi cried while hugging her daughter, "I can't let you go, I can't let you go!"

At this time—

" Mom? Mom! Zhizhi, Zhizhi..."

Shan Chaofeng's voice rang out anxiously.

Zhizhi and Ying Yushi turned their heads together, and they saw Shan Chaofeng with an anxious face. Shan Chaofeng is not alone, she is still holding Peng Peng's hand, while Peng Peng is crying with red eyes.

Ying Yushi wiped away tears and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shan Chaofeng said, "I was at work, and Xiao Pan called me suddenly, saying that Peng Peng went to the Educated Youth Office to sign up and go to the countryside to jump in the queue..."

Ying Yushi's eyes widened instantly.

"Xiao Pan stopped Pengpeng, then called me immediately, and I rushed to the Educated Youth Office to lead the person. Then Xiao Pan told me..." Shan Chaofeng looked at Zhi Zhi, her expression became anxious and anxious. Angrily, she said, "Mom, do you know that Zhi Zhi, she has already registered for the Educated Youth Office to go to the countryside early in the morning!"

Ying Yu was in a hurry, holding Zhi Zhi's hand tightly, and asked, "Are you really Already signed up?"

Zhi Zhi nodded.

"You! You, you, you... Don't you Zhizhi, are you trying to piss me off?!" Ying Yushi was furious, and immediately felt dizzy.

Zhizhi stepped forward and hugged her mother, "Mom, you have to trust me, trust me... not only will I take good care of myself, but I will also... I will also make Nanling Island very beautiful. Mom , when I build the island, I will definitely surprise you!"

Ying Yushi was hugged tightly by her thin daughter.

She was anxious and angry, and only felt a dull pain in her heart, but the fragrance and warmth of her daughter slightly relieved her discomfort. She was sobbing, feeling weak all over. Finally, she was supported by her daughter and daughter-in-law and sat on the stone chair. After panting for a while, she slowly calmed down.

"Zhizhi, have you...really signed up?" Ying Yushi asked.

Zhizhi nodded.

"When did you register?" Ying Yushi asked again.

Zhizhi said: "On the 14th."

- that is, the third day after receiving Li Nianzhi's sad news.

Shan Chaofeng asked: "Zhi Zhi, didn't you find Xiao Pan when you went to sign up? Why didn't she know?"

Zhi Zhi said: "I'm afraid that if you find out, you won't let me go. So I went to Wu Qin and asked her Help me go through the formalities..." Then she quickly complained, "I also asked her, I belong to the volunteers who signed up to jump in the queue, so I can choose my own place. She said yes, so I chose Nanling Island." After a

pause After a while, Zhizhi asked Shan Chaofeng again, "Sister-in-law, isn't it only the nineteenth today? The educated youth who went to the countryside to jump in the queue and the place to jump in the queue didn't come out until the twentieth, so why did sister-in-law Pan know today? By the way, sister-in-law, You just came from the Educated Youth Office, do you know where I was assigned?"

Where to go to the countryside to jump in the queue is very important for Zhizhi.

Of course she

knew that if this matter fell into Wu Qin's hands, according to Wu Qin's character, it is very likely that in order to get revenge on her family, she would make a fool of herself...to tamper with her wish to leave Zhizhi and go to the countryside location.

But Zhizhi was not afraid.

Even when she specially asked Wu Qin to do this, she was actually fishing.

——When I was at the abandoned warehouse last time, the leader of the National Security Bureau A once told her that he could do her a favor within his ability.

So Zhi Zhi made up her mind, if Wu Qin really tampered with her place of choice, then she would immediately call Leader A to explain the matter, and take this opportunity to get rid of Wu Qin, lest Wu Qin always trouble her family after she went to the countryside ;Of course, if Wu Qin is honest, that's the best, and this life-saving chance can be saved for later use.

Zhi Zhi dared to ask Wu Qin to do this matter because of her confidence.

Hearing Zhizhi's inquiry at this moment, Shan Chaofeng shook his head, "When I heard the news, I was stunned and my legs were weak. How could I care about this! I, I wondered if this was a mistake. ...That's why I came to you and Mom to clarify! As a result..."

"Zhizhi, have you really signed up?" Shan Chaofeng asked for confirmation again.

Zhizhi nodded with certainty.

Shan Chaofeng's eyes also turned red instantly.

Pengpeng was even more surprised, "Zhizhi, you, you have already signed up?"

Zhizhi smiled, "Fourth sister, I'm sorry I've been keeping it from you...mainly because I'm afraid you won't agree." "

I just don't agree! "Pengpeng cried, "You have small arms and legs...you are still going to the countryside, you can't even carry a hoe!"

Zhizhi smiled and said: "If I don't leave home, I don't know that I can still rely on selling cream Candy hawthorn and stewed pork buns make a lot of money easily."

Peng Peng was taken aback.

She bit her lip.

Zhi Zhi was eager to know where she was going to the countryside, so she said quickly: "Mom, sister-in-law, you can accompany me to the Educated Youth Office, I'm afraid Wu Qin will lie to me! If the place where I go to the countryside is not Nanling Island... Mom You have to make the decision for me!"

Ying Yushi scolded: "Even if it's Nanling Island, I won't let you go!"

That's what he said, but in the end he stood up and took his daughter and daughter-in-law to the Educated Youth Office.

But what surprised them was that the Educated Youth Office actually closed its doors?

Why, it's only ten o'clock in the morning!

Shan Chaofeng also didn't understand, "...What's going on? When I came here, everything was normal, why, why did it close in less than an hour?" However, the list of

this batch of educated youths going to the countryside and The places where they are going have been copied into a form, stamped with a big red stamp and pasted at the gate of the Educated Youth Office.

Zhizhi ran over to take a look, and sure enough, she found her name and the place where she jumped in line.

[Unit: Children of Songshi Iron and Steel Factory in Southeast Province]

[Name/Gender/Age: Bie Zhizhi/Female/17]

[Aided Construction Location: The First Production Brigade of Lushui Village, Futa Town, Nanling Island, Lin City, Jienan Province]

[ Departure time: before July 31, 1966]

Zhi Zhi's eyes widened.

Is it really Nanling Island?

This, this...

She was mistaken, but Wu Qin is actually a good person?

Zhi Zhi laughed.

That's okay, so she saved an opportunity to ask Leader A for help, so she will save it for later when she needs it more... Let's ask Leader A for help!

Ying Yushi looked at the list posted on the door, cried uncontrollably, touched it with his hands for a long time...

finally accepted the reality.

She asked Peng Peng to call all

the family members.

After a while, the whole family arrived after hearing the news.

Looking at the list posted on the door of the Educated Youth Office, the whole family looked at each other in blank dismay.

There is a huge stone on everyone's heart, so heavy that they can't speak or even breathe.

Zhizhi smiled and talked with them one by one, asking them to understand her and support her...

In the end, the eyes of the whole family were all red.

The deal is done.

The family couldn't say anything more, so they could only accept it with tears.

Two days later, Shan Chaofeng got a piece of news from Mrs. Pan, and told the family at the dinner table.

"Didn't the Educated Youth Office suddenly close that day? Xiao Pan told me that their superiors sent people over, called them all into the car, and went to the Municipal Educated Youth Office for investigation... Wu Qin was not there at the time, and Xiao Li led Asking the superior to knock on the door of Luo's house, Wu Qin is at home eating watermelon with her legs crossed, cursing Tan Chunyu, and throwing watermelon skins to beat Tan Chunyu... Seeing Xiao Li bringing his superior to the house, Wu Qin is so stupid!"

"Later, when Xiao Pan and the others arrived at the Municipal Educated Youth Office, they were isolated separately. A special person came to ask her, how is Wu Qin, the director of the Educated Youth Office of the iron and steel plant, like? How is his work situation and attitude...Xiao Pan was quite scared at first and didn't dare to tell the truth. Later, thinking that she had already been taken away for investigation, it is estimated that Wu Qin committed a serious crime. Even if she helped Wu Qin conceal it, according to Wu Qin's Temper...Will she be grateful? She just feels that Xiao Pan betrayed her! Rather than doing this, it's better to tell the truth..." "     Then the whole day yesterday, Xiao Pan and the others were repeatedly asked many times by different staff to talk to Wu The matter related to Qin... I kept talking about it until my saliva dried up. Of course, people also told me not to spread the matter, and I will tell you the details after the superior investigates it clearly. Xiao Pan asked after he came back Xiao Li... She and Xiao Li are on good terms, but the two of them dare not say too much, after comparing the two, they realized that Xiao Li was also being chased by his superiors to ask about Wu Qin..." Saying that,     Shan Chaofeng He said again: "It seems that Wu Qin provoked someone! Ah yes, the people from the Municipal Educated Youth Office appointed Xiao Pan as the acting director. Wu Qin didn't come back, so he stayed directly at the Municipal Educated Youth Office!" Ying Yu was     somewhat Worried, "Could it be to investigate the reselling of indicators?" As he said, he couldn't help but glance at the third son.     Bie Yanxi was silent.     "Even if it is, she won't     admit it," Zhizhi comforted her mother, "...her Luo Jianhua's index is also bought.     " voluntarily.

Fortunately, the leader of the National Security Bureau far away in the capital, after handling the case of the super spy named "Existence", suddenly had a whim and remembered Bie Zhizhi who disturbed "Existence"'s mood by wearing a cheongsam back then.

He remembered that the pretty little girl was Li Shu's little green plum, and he had a good impression of this courageous girl. Especially when the little girl told him that she wanted to go to Nanling Island to go to the countryside to jump in the queue, the light in her eyes was full of conviction.     Counting the days, it was almost the same time, so leader A asked the secretary to check. A few days later, leader A received Bie Zhizhi's application form for going to the countryside to jump in the queue, and took a closer look—     didn't the little girl say that she wanted to go to Nanling Island?     How did it change to Tongjiawan? !     The current situation in Tongjiawan is not good. Schistosomiasis is very serious. It is said that the prevalence rate is as high as 60%, and the fatality rate of patients is even as high as 15%     . Tongjiawan went to the countryside to jump in the queue, why is Bie Zhizhi's voluntary destination actually Tongjiawan?     Leader A's keen insight made him feel that there must be tricks in it.     ——The situation in Tongjiawan is so serious, the state issued an emergency notice to let the people of the whole country know the dangers and prevention of schistosomiasis, it is impossible for Bie Zhizhi to be ignorant.     So she will never take the initiative to ask to go to Tongjiawan!     There is a problem with the Educated Youth Office where Biezhizhi's household registration is located!     Leader A approved this document in red letters, and personally changed the address of Bie Zhizhi's going to the countryside to Nanling Island in red letters, and asked his subordinates to thoroughly investigate the matter.     The Song City Educated Youth Office did not dare to relax. On the one hand, it changed Bie Zhizhi's jumping location according to what Leader A wrote, and on the other hand, it immediately organized a special team to investigate the Steel Plant Educated Youth Office... Such an investigation would not send Wu Qin to the police station     . Check it out!     ——Wu Qin arrives late and leaves early every day, has a lax work attitude, has a bad bureaucratic style, treats comrades impolitely, does not unite, and likes to take advantage of the collective.

In the end, Wu Qin was revoked as the director of the Educated Youth Office and expelled from public citizenship.

After hearing the news, Zhizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 27

Bie Zhizhi, the flower in the steel factory compound, is going to the countryside soon? ? ?

This heavy news caused an uproar!

——Bie Zhizhi is notoriously beautiful and weak.

It is said that she was so delicate that she couldn't even swallow white rice and had to eat porridge every meal, which is why she was so thin. How thin is it? Her legs are only a little thinner than the arms of ordinary men! She didn't have the strength yet. I heard that she went to the vegetable field to carry a Chinese cabbage weighing two or three catties home, and rested at least a dozen times on the way out of breath!

Such a delicate girl went to the countryside to jump in the queue?

Don't waste your life!

For a while, many people came to other family members to inquire whether the news was true.

Luo Jianhua was the first to look for Zhizhi.

"Zhizhi, why did you go to the countryside?" He said angrily, "Your family didn't help you find the indicators to stay in the city?" After a pause,

he suddenly understood, "Is it... your family took all the money Did you buy the quota for your third brother to stay in the city? My God, Zhi Zhi, this is not acceptable... This is patriarchal! No, no, no! Even if you favor boys over girls, it’s not your turn to go to the countryside, your sister, you The younger sister is the child of your parents, why should you go?"

Zhi Zhi:? ? ?

The more Luo Jianhua spoke, the more anxious he became, and he couldn't help complaining: "Zhizhi these days, you are always avoiding me, and I can't find you even if I try to find you... If you don't have a target, why didn't you come to me?" Zhizhi

, "Your mother raised the price to seven thousand and five, do you know?"

Luo Jianhua: ...

Zhi Zhi asked curiously: "Is someone really coming to your house to propose marriage?"

Luo Jianhua blushed instantly, "You, don't listen to me Mom talking nonsense!"

Zhi Zhi, "But you didn't say that before, I remember you said... let me follow your mother a little bit more."

Luo Jianhua was speechless.

He changed the subject, "Then what are you going to do now?"

Zhizhi said, "Of course I obey the arrangement and go to the countryside     !

"

You have never suffered from childhood... You don't know the outside world at all! How do you know that everyone outside will treat you well? Who will help you when you encounter difficulties? You, you..."

Zhizhi Ignore him, turn around and leave.

Luo Jianhua was in a hurry, grabbed her wrist, and said in a low voice: "Zhizhi, let's get married!"

Zhizhi laughed angrily, "Are you sick?"

Luo Jianhua said eagerly: "This is the only one that can let you The way you stay in the city! Zhizhi, we will get married right away, and then we will go to the hospital to issue you a sick note...so that you can stay here temporarily, and then...as long as, as long as you get pregnant as soon as possible, you can stay ..."

In his opinion, this is also an excellent way.

He has liked her for many years and dreamed of marrying her.     He couldn't imagine what he would do

if she left... then!     At this moment, the girl was standing in front of him, and he was holding her slender wrist, feeling her smooth skin, and smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her body... Luo Jianhua was a little distracted     .     Zhizhi struggled desperately...     and couldn't break free.     And then found that his eyesight became hotter and hotter, and even his breathing became rough?     Dead pervert!     Zhi Zhi cursed secretly, pushed him hard, and was about to call out     for help—     "Brother Jianhua?"     Tan Chunyu's voice suddenly sounded.

Luo Jianhua subconsciously let go of Zhi Zhi's hand.

Zhizhi ran away as soon as she was free.

Only Luo Jianhua and Tan Chunyu were left standing face to face.

For some reason, facing Tan Chunyu with cold eyes, Luo Jianhua suddenly felt...a sense of embarrassment as if he had been caught.

"You, what are you doing here?" Luo Jianhua asked creakingly.

Tan Chunyu said expressionlessly: "Your mother asked me to come to you and tell you to go back immediately."

——Wu Qin has been dismissed from her job and her public registration, and she has become a housewife without a formal job . She is not a fool, she closed the door and pondered for a few days, and finally found a clue from Bie Zhizhi's queue jumping address. The address she filled in for Bie Zhizhi was Tongjiawan, but the higher-ups approved Bie Zhizhi to go to Nanling Island...

But this was an internal reorganization of the unit, and no one mentioned Bie Zhizhi's place to go to the countryside from the beginning to the end. thing.

She is unwilling, but she has no means of revenge!

Wu Qin was so angry that she hurt her internally, and she couldn't afford to lose this person, so she didn't dare to go out, thinking wildly at home every day. When she was extremely depressed, she would scold her husband, daughter-in-law and Tan Chunyu. Her husband is the deputy factory manager, and he is very angry that she lost his job because it will affect his future...

Even the husband and wife quarrel at home every day.

Tan Chunyu didn't want to stay at Luo's house either, so she also ran out.

She originally wanted to ask Bie Zhizhi about going to the countryside, but she didn't expect to find someone, but she saw Luo Jianhua pestering Bie Zhizhi with her own eyes.

Tan Chunyu has long since changed his view of Bie Zhizhi, and at this moment, only disappointment with Luo Jianhua remains in his heart.

As for Luo Jianhua, he had already been told by his father.

His father said to him: "Your mother is an asshole! I put a lot of effort into putting her as the director of the Educated Youth Office, but she didn't do a good job and was fired when she was about to retire! What a shame! During the year, my promotion was also in vain! If I didn't get promoted to a full-time job before I retired, how could I bother your elder brother? You and your second brother only started working this year... Without my and your elder brother's pulling, your second brother How to gain a firm foothold? How can we help you find a way to transfer from the chopsticks factory to the steel factory? Could it be that our family will go downhill from now on?" "

Besides, our family's financial situation has become more tense after your mother was fired... …Jianhua, Chunyu is a capable person, she is good at making money, you should spend time with her.”     At that time, Luo Jianhua was shocked, “But Dad, Tan Chunyu has a criminal record!” Could it be that his father meant that he should Date with Tan Chunyu? But he didn't like Tan Chunyu, and Tan Chunyu had a criminal record. Once he married Tan Chunyu, his future would be over.     Father Luo, "Then what should I do? Your mother lost her job, which will have an impact on me and your elder brother's future. Don't you have to spend money to manage it? Besides, it's for you to stay with her, not for you She got married."     So under the arrangement of his father and elder brother, Luo Jianhua went to watch a few movies with Tan Chunyu, and they even went to the park together on weekends.     At this moment, Luo Jianhua was very guilty, but he habitually held a high profile in front of Tan Chunyu, so he used the most ruthless tone and said the most embarrassing words, "My mother is not happy, can't you... enlighten her?" Tan Chunyu     thought Feeling uncomfortable, I didn't want to talk to him too much, so I simply said "you go back quickly", and then left in a hurry.     She caught up with Bie Zhizhi and stopped her downstairs, "Zhizhi, do you really want to go to the countryside?"     Zhizhi looked at Tan Chunyu and nodded.     ——The big villain in this book, Li Nianzhi,     died . The heroine Tan Chunyu has the ability to make a fortune and has already moved into Luo Jianhua's house. The main plot has already changed. Now that she has left the place where the main plot takes place, far away from the hero and heroine, and has nothing to do with them, she should be able to survive and stay safe, right?

The most important thing is that she doesn't want to live a new life in order to achieve others.

She wants to live for herself!

Tan Chunyu's mood is particularly complicated.

Bie Zhizhi died early in her previous life, and she lived under the influence of Bie Zhizhi all her life. Bie Zhizhi is fine in this life but Li Nianzhi is dead... Will Luo Jianhua still miss Bie Zhizhi for the rest of his life like in his previous life? If yes, what is she going to do?

After being reborn and going through so much, her cognition has been subverted, and it is impossible for her to have the idea of hurting Bie Zhizhi again.

So...

Bie Zhizhi waited quietly for Tan Chunyu.

——She ran over to stop herself, she must have something to say?

But after waiting for a long time, Tan Chunyu didn't say a word.

Zhizhi didn't want to wait any longer, and said to Tan Chunyu, "I'm leaving at the end of the month, so let me give you a piece of advice... When you encounter problems, think about your own future." Always remember that you already have a criminal

record up.

In fact, Zhizhi's original intention was to hope that Tan Chunyu could restrain himself a bit, that she, Bai Yueguang, had "voluntarily" left, and she would stop staring at other family members and make any small moves.

But these words fell into Tan Chunyu's ears...

but it made her eyes turn red instantly.

Zhi Zhi is reminding her?

Let her always think about her future? ? ?

Tan Chunyu stood where she was, watching Zhizhi enter the Tongzilou without looking back.

At this moment, Tan Chunyu's eyes were red.

She didn't expect that the sincere care she felt for the first time was actually given by her partner!

She gritted her teeth and thought about it...

Zhi Zhi felt so tired when she returned home!

She stayed in the courtyard every day, and was either caught by this person to ask questions, or was stopped by that person to talk...

When she got home, she sat on the wooden sofa and didn't want to move anymore.

Tangtang ran out of the kitchen and asked her, "Fifth Sister, Fourth Sister made ice powder, do you want to eat it?" "

Yes!"

Tangtang brought a bowl of crystal clear ice powder.

The ice powder in this era is actually very simple, not even brown sugar...

The main reason is that soft white sugar is already very expensive, and red sliced sugar is even more expensive. So rock sugar is used to season the melted white sugar water, plus a little bit of white vinegar.

It is transparent when served in a white porcelain bowl, but it is very sweet and slightly sour when eaten.

Zhi Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and exclaimed, "It's still comfortable at home!"

The family came back from work one after another, and the second sister-in-law started first, "Is there any cold water at Tangtang's house? Pour me a big glass! My Today, at least a hundred people came to me to inquire about Zhi Zhi's going to the countryside... My mouth is dry."

Then other members of the family also responded.

Zhizhi was even more annoyed, and said to her parents: "Mom and Dad, can I go to Grandma Wei's house to hide from the limelight for two days?" The

family members looked at each other.

In fact, they don't want Zhizhi to go to Grandma Wei's house, because it's only a few days before the deadline for Zhizhi to go to the countryside, and they also want to get along with Zhizhi... But thinking about it, the whole family's life is indeed very difficult these

days It's hard.

Bie Fengjun and Ying Yushi looked at each other, and finally nodded, "Well, remember, we only go for two days!"

Zhizhi

agreed.

Pengpeng and Tangtang also rushed to say, "Let's go too!"

"Go, let's go!"

In this way, after lunch, Zhizhi and her three sisters began to prepare their luggage.

Zhizhi first took the sisters to the alley opposite the family compound, and then walked around carefully. The weather is hot and there are few people in the afternoon. There were very few people who came to set up a stall. Zhizhi took a fancy to a stall selling small daily necessities, and after a long time with the stall owner, at a very low price, he sold soap, sleeves, elastic cords, pins, I bought all hair ties, needles, thimbles and so on.

In view of the experience of the sisters selling frosted hawthorn and braised pork buns in the town last time...

Pengpeng and Tangtang already guessed that Zhizhi would probably bring them to the town.

So the sisters didn't say anything.

Carrying the hawker's stall back home, Tangtang asked if he was going to take it to Weizhen for business.

Zhizhi smiled and said yes.

Then the three sisters packed their luggage and went out on bicycles together.

Zhizhi instructed Pengpeng to go to Songshi Railway Station first, and wandered around the black market near the railway station, opened the stalls received from the vendors, and asked Tangtang to guard and sell them. She took Pengpeng to look from shop to shop in the black market...

The train station market is bigger and there are relatively more products.

After watching for a while, the two sisters returned to Tangtang's place and found that Tangtang had already opened a shop and sold a lot of fat cattle, elastic cords, pins, hair ties and so on.

Tangtang clutched a handful of small change, her face full of surprise, "Sister, I just sat here and didn't sell it. Many people came to buy it by themselves...Look, our soap is going to be sold out soon!

" too much.

Zhizhi praised Tangtang a bit, and then searched some small daily necessities from a small stall to sell elsewhere; at the same time, she also asked Pengpeng to do this, and made an appointment with her sisters.

An hour later, the three sisters reunited at Tangtang's place, took an inventory, and found that most of the small things had been sold out...but they really didn't earn much.

The cost of three and three cents has now expanded to four and ten cents.

Plus there is about a tenth of the stock left that is not in good condition.

Zhizhi asked Tangtang to stay and asked her to find a way to sell all the remaining goods at the cheapest price, and then went to find some other vendors with Pengpeng.

——When visiting the black market just now, Zhi Zhi took a fancy to a few peddlers.

Hair ties with plastic ornaments, exquisitely packaged soaps, beautifully shaped soap boxes, flashlights, etc...

After some bargaining, Zhi Zhihua used up all the four yuan and ten cents in her hand, and replaced them with better quality ones. , The packaging is more fancy, because the price is relatively expensive, so the quantity is not much.

The two sisters returned to Tangtang's place, and Tangtang had already disposed of the leftovers... The

three sisters rode bicycles to Weizhen together.

Due to such a delay at the train station, it was already dark when we arrived at Grandma Wei's house.

Grandma Wei was overjoyed, and she tried to cook for them...

But Grandma Wei's legs were not sharp enough, and Peng Peng rushed to cook for them.

After dinner, the three sisters slept in the same room, and Zhizhi talked about her plan - the things they brought back from the city had to be placed in the busiest place in the town, which was nothing more than the bus station and the town primary school. Nearby, and then agreed on the prices of those commodities.

The three sisters went to the town early the next morning. Due to the accurate positioning of the audience and the small number of products...

In less than an hour, the small products returned by Zhi Zhi Tao were sold out!

This time, the cost has changed from four yuan and a dime to seven yuan, which is more than double the original cost of three cents!

The sisters were all overjoyed.

After selling the things, Zhizhi hurriedly went to Luo's house to have a look.

Unexpectedly, the door of the Luo family was closed and no one was there?

So the three sisters went to the town hospital again, and they found Luo Bing who was selling braised pork buns.

Luo Bing was also overjoyed to see the Bie sisters.

He told Zhi Zhi that, just as Zhi Zhi said, the business of stewed meat buns was very hot at the beginning, and gradually, everyone lost the novelty. Fortunately, he and his brother followed Zhizhi's advice and gradually reduced the number of buns... Now, although the sales volume is not very large, the sales are relatively stable, and they can sell about two large baskets every day.

Because Luo Bing can handle the business of selling steamed buns by himself, his brother is doing odd jobs around now.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Luo Bing warmly invited the Bie sisters to his house for dinner. The Bie sisters declined, and Zhi Zhi invited the Luo brothers to Grandma Wei's house tomorrow...

Luo Bing readily agreed.

The Bie sisters went to weigh some pork and rushed back to Grandma Wei's house.

While cooking, Pengpeng couldn't help asking Zhizhi, "...Zhizhi, those goods you picked up in the alley opposite our compound yesterday were resold at the train station. Right? Because we are not greedy, we can sell everything in a short period of time, although we don’t make a lot of money but the turnover is fast..." "Then

we buy beautiful but expensive things from the train station, come When we come to this town, we are also the ones who have a lot of traffic and who can afford to buy, because we sell things that other hawkers don’t have, so everyone likes them, but they have no choice but to find us to buy... ...Is that so?"     Zhizhi nodded, "That's right! This is called selecting an audience... That is to say, you have to sell things according to the target group. The things we resell first-hand are what everyone needs, and the people who sell them There are many, and there are many choices for everyone...so small profits but quick turnover is the only way to make a profit." "     Second-hand reselling is aimed at the richer sisters-in-law and daughter-in-law... They like and are beautiful It's a good thing, so you think, where are the rich people, how can they see our goods..."

"There is another point that you must pay attention to, that is, the provincial capital likes products from the capital, the city likes things from the provincial capital, counties and towns like things from the city, and the countryside likes everything from the city...principle The truth is that everyone admires Qiang, likes better things, and also likes things that are relatively rare." "

Conversely, in fact, things in the countryside are also rare in the city...rare!" Zhi Zhi earnestly and seductively.

Pengpeng listened silently, and asked after a while, "Zhizhi, you came here to teach me how to do business, right? You are worried about me, afraid that I will feel inferior in this family...I am not parents My dear, I don't have any skills yet... Even this time, I was supposed to go to the countryside to jump in the queue, because my physical fitness is better than yours..."

After speaking, Peng Peng had already started to cry.

"You've been hiding it from me and letting me listen to my parents' arrangements... Actually, you signed up to go to the countryside early in the morning. You did this because you didn't want me to feel bad, right? Zhizhi, I want to go to the countryside with you! You go to jump the queue, and I'll take care of you!"

Zhizhi couldn't help laughing, and hugged Pengpeng, "You really think I'm a young lady, and you have to bring a maid to go out when you go to work in the countryside!"

Pengpeng was already humming I burst into tears, "But you

can't even cook, and you can't do laundry..."

"I can do all these things, but my sister is so capable. With you here, I can't be compared to you! From now on, I will live alone. , These are all things to learn," Zhizhi smiled and changed the subject, "By the way, fourth sister, let's compete!" "

What?" Pengpeng asked, wiping away tears.

Zhizhi thought for a while and said, "Let's compare earning money! Let's see who earns more... I have already asked that the first three years after the educated youth go to the countryside cannot be left behind, and after that, there will be one month every year." Family visit. When I come back to visit relatives three years later, we will compare and see who earns more money. The one with more money will be the older sister, and the one with less money will learn to meow!" "Learn to meow?" Peng Peng was a little

surprised .

Zhizhi smiled helplessly.

The fourth sister obviously doesn't understand the jokes of later generations.

So she clenched her fists and waved her slender arms, "I want to prove that I'm not a sick cat!" At

this moment, Peng Peng finally understood.

She hugged Zhizhi back, and whispered: "I know you are smart, so you really went to the countryside...you just find a hardworking person to make friends with, and play with her, you are smart, you use your brain more, others are hardworking, others work more , so you won't suffer..."

Zhizhi said yes with a smile.

The next day, the Luo brothers came to Granny Wei's house to pick up food and met with the Bie sisters.

Knowing that Zhi Zhi is going to the countryside soon, the Luo brothers are very surprised. This situation is the current mainstream, although they are a bit reluctant, but they still bless Zhi Zhi.

And Zhi Zhi called them here, in fact, to urge them to do some business with Peng Peng.

Because Pengpeng is the only one in the family who doesn't have a formal job, if she doesn't want to feel too inferior, she must have something to do. It is feasible to resell small commodities, but it is unrealistic to do a small business in Songshi because the other family is so popular and there are villains like Wu Qin staring at her every day.

Doing business in Weizhen is very good. Firstly, we can take care of Grandma Wei, and secondly, Pengpeng can be with the Luo brothers, so that we can take care of each other and solve the livelihood problems of the Luo brothers... That's it, Zhi

Zhi Another idea for everyone to do a small business.

Now that the weather is hot, everyone can make ice powder to sell.

But the traditional ice powder is not selling well, so Zhizhi thought of a way to go to the back mountain of Weijia Village to pick a lot of June bubbles (raspberries) and come back. Junipao is bright red, sweet and sour in the mouth. It is not rare in the countryside, but it is difficult for people in towns and cities to eat.

Zhizhi asked them to keep a piece of June bubbles with full fried grains, and add soft white sugar to boil the June bubbles into a pulp if the quality is not so good.

In this era, when people buy ice powder, they bring their own bowls to buy ice powder after hearing the call. So two cents of ice powder can be scooped on two tablespoons, then topped with a spoonful of red, sweet and sour June bubble jam, and then sprinkled with three or five grains of plump and fresh June bubble...

The crystal clear transparent ice powder is topped with a spoonful of thick sweet and sour jam, it is simply too beautiful!

The price is the same as traditional ice cream!

According to Zhizhi's method, the Luo brothers made ice powder and sold it in the streets and alleys with burdens, and it was no surprise that they made a lot of money.

The two of them are even more grateful to Zhizhi, and are more willing to do business with Pengpeng!

Zhizhi only stayed in Weijia Village for two days before returning to Songshi, and Pengpeng and Tangtang accompanied her back.

Chapter 28

In the next few days, Zhizhi stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.

The family members were busy inquiring about the climate and customs of Nanling Island, and packing for Zhizhi.

I heard that Nanling Island is like summer all year round, but autumn and winter are dry, spring is wet, and summer can be oily...so you can prepare less winter clothes, and when Zhi Zhi settles down in the past, the family will post them to her.

Therefore, the luggage to be prepared for Zhizhi must first be light, because she is weak, and Songshi is more than a thousand kilometers away from Nanling Island. It is estimated that she will have to walk for several days to get there. Too much and heavy luggage is not a good thing for her.

Bie Fengjun handed his daughter a list of friends he had made over the years, including those near Nanling Island. He told his daughter to write down all the contact information of these people, and to go to them and ask them for help when encountering difficulties. Of course, he would also write letters to these friends in advance, telling them that his daughter had gone to Nanling Island to jump in the queue, and asked them to take care of them if they had the opportunity.

Ying Yushi prepared various medicines for her daughter, including motion sickness medicine, cold medicine, allergy medicine, fever-reducing medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine...Bie Yandong found some

scrapped parts from the work unit, and made it for her sister herself Two kinds of self-defense weapons.

One is a watch-style bracelet, which looks like a "fake watch". When you want to use it, turn the surface, and the "dial" will reveal sharp gears, which can be used as a knife. It is not too obtrusive for a girl to wear a bracelet, and it will not attract attention. At critical moments, it is extremely easy to cut through the skin on the gangster's hands and feet. Although it cannot cause fatal damage, as long as it can play a deterrent role.

The other is a half-meter-long iron rod, which is divided into three parts. It needs manual assembly to turn it into a one-and-a-half-meter-long pointed iron root. It can be used for self-defense and can be used as a simple farm tool in the future. It is very useful for digging soil and smashing walls in an emergency.

Because of work, Bie Yannan found her various receipts that are common in Nanling Island. There were food stamps, oil tickets, cloth tickets, meat tickets, sugar tickets, but some of them had already expired, so he specially told his sister that the first thing he did when he arrived at Nanling Island was to quickly buy back all the things that could be bought with tickets.

Bie Yanxi gave her sister several books, all of which were on marine farming, crop cultivation, and poultry feeding.

Shan Chaofeng gave Zhizhi a pair of liberation shoes and a dozen labor protection gloves. The liberation shoes she found were not ordinary liberation shoes. They were specially processed by the master at the labor protection products factory. They were very light, but thick and firm. The gloves are not ordinary gloves, but fit Zhizhi's delicate and slender fingers as much as possible, and the varnish on the surface of the gloves is particularly thick, very easy to carry.

Wang Zongxiu took great pains to prepare a lot of food for Zhi Zhi. What she prepares the most is lard residue. This thing has high calories and is especially hungry. Wang Zongxiu also thought hard to make three flavors: sweet, garlic and spicy... Pengpeng

and Tangtang, under Zhizhi's command, flew needles and threaded substitutes She made a set of "sleeping bags".

Originally, according to Ying Yushi's thoughts, she planned to let Zhizhi bring a mattress quilt, a bed quilt, and a pillow. But with a bed, a cover and a pillow, it weighs twenty catties after packing, plus other luggage, Zhizhi can't carry it at all!

So Zhi Zhi asked her sisters to help her transform one of the thin and soft quilts into a sleeping bag that is attached to the pillow and can be fixed and tied with cloth straps.

At first, Yingyu felt quite unhappy, but after seeing Pengpeng and Tangtang helping Zhizhi change the sleeping bag, Zhizhi demonstrated how to spread the sleeping bag to sleep, and how to tidy up after getting up... This

improved The sleeping bag can be cushioned and covered, and it also comes with a pillow. The most important thing is that it is very light and does not take up space when it is put away. When it rains, I am afraid that my daughter will not sleep well. I even got into the sleeping bag and tried it. I think it is not too bad Uncomfortable as imagined.     Ying Yu thought: It's okay for Zhizhi to deal with this thing on the way, the family sent her a quilt at the same time, and she went to the post office to pick it up when she arrived, at least it could save the journey all the way.

Only then did he agree to let his daughter take the sleeping bag on the road.

Soon it will be July 30th, and Zhizhi is ready to leave.

The second brother, Bie Yannan, applied for a business trip to his work unit, and he happened to be able to escort his sister for a while.

So Zhizhi went to the Educated Youth Office to get the train ticket for the first journey, took the stamped letter of introduction, packed her luggage and went out with her brother.

The family sent the siblings to the train station with tears in their eyes.

Zhizhi hugged her parents and said to them: "Mom and Dad, I'm going to conquer the world! I haven't succeeded yet, you two must not grow old... You must wait for me to come home in peace and health!

" When Jun He Ying Yu heard his daughter's childish words, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Zhi Zhi said goodbye to her family one by one with a smile, and in the end, in the tears of her family, she boarded the train to the provincial capital with her second brother.

There are educated youth offices all over the country.

Zhizhi needed to take the letter of introduction to the Educated Youth Office to report and get a pass stamp, and then exchanged for the next train ticket. Of course, the conditions for free board and lodging are not very good. For living, it is a Datong shop where thirty or forty people live in one room; for eating, it depends on the local economic level.

Zhizhi's hometown, Songshi, is a wealthy place. Of course, the food and accommodation arranged by the Educated Youth Office in the provincial capital is not as good as her own, but it's not too bad.

The brother and sister rested overnight in the provincial capital, and then when they transferred to the provincial capital of Lin province by train, they immediately felt the difference.

The mental outlook of the people on the street is not as good as in Southeast Province, and many people wear patched clothes.

The Datong shop arranged by the Educated Youth Office was very dilapidated, no different from a dilapidated building, with half of the walls collapsed, no glass windows, and even no beds. When I go to sleep, I spread some newspapers on the ground to separate the dust, and then spread my own bedding. The free food is a thick steamed bun and a handful of pickled vegetables per person per meal, plus a vegetable leaf soup that is full but not a little oily.

Even though Zhizhi was already mentally prepared, she would choke to death even if she took the steamed bun... even if she soaked it in the vegetable juice and chewed it in her mouth before swallowing it.

Bie Yannan looked at Jiao Didi's girl and sighed, "That's why it's so good to be at home, but it's hard to go out for a day! I told you that I don't want you to come, so you still go out secretly to sign up!" Zhizhi swallowed

hard Wotou smiled at his elder brother, "Second brother, I'm going to leave here! You open your eyes to see every plant and tree here! I assure you, it will definitely change a lot in fifty years!" Bie

Yan Nan laughed, "Fifty years? That's not right! I'll be belching in fifty years!"

Zhi Zhi said with a "hum" and said, "There will be other builders who will build this place even better. And what I want to build is Nanling Island!"

Bie Yannan, "You should hurry up and eat some of the lard leftovers your sister-in-law made for you! You can't eat enough."

Zhi Sure enough, Zhi didn't carry anyone behind her back, and brought out a box of lard residue, and shared it with her second brother.

Don't Yannan be reluctant to eat it, he just picked up two yuan and said he didn't like it, prevaricated, but forced Zhizhi to eat a few pieces.

Zhi Zhi

got tired of eating three or four pieces of lard residue, and put away the lunch box again.

The siblings chatted for a while, and then went to rest.

The next day, the two embarked on the journey again.

Bie Yannan can only send Zhi Zhi half way, after all, he is on a business trip. So the two squeezed onto the train bound for the provincial capital of Jienan Province, found their seats and sat down. Zhi Zhi wanted to take the bus to the terminal, but Bie Yannan needed to change trains halfway to go to another city.

When the brothers and sisters were about to part, Bie Yannan took out a stack of money and stuffed it into her younger sister's hand, saying, "Be careful on the road! There are policemen on the train. If someone bullies you, you should yell loudly. After getting off the train, don't go around alone." Hanging around, after all, I’m new here, and I don’t know how the public security is outside... In short, don’t trust others, don’t go to remote places... Remember, there are educated youth offices next to every train station, you go directly to the train station Educated youth office, don't follow people you don't know..."

Zhizhi nodded seriously, but she didn't want to accept the money handed over by her brother, and said in a low voice, "Brother, my parents have already given me a lot of money!"

—— Parents gave her a full two hundred dollars! There are ten big unity cards, and I am worried that she will not reveal the money when she is a young girl going out, so I prepared a lot of small denomination banknotes for her.

Now the second brother handed over another handful of banknotes, which looked like twenty yuan?

Bie Yannan sighed, "Hold it quickly!" He couldn't help but stuff it into her hand.

When the train arrived at the station, Bie Yannan got off the train carrying a small luggage.

He stood on the platform and looked at his young and naive younger sister, waving desperately, "Be careful on the road... safe journey!"

Zhizhi also waved at her brother, "Brother, you should go back early after you're done! I'll write a letter and go home! "

The train started slowly.

Bie Zhizhi finally embarked on her own journey.

The trains of this era are all green leather cars, and the carriages are old but well maintained.

It's just too loud.

There are women chattering and chattering, children running around screaming, men drinking baijiu and yelling orders in the carriages, and conductors pushing snack carts back and forth—

" Come—let’s give it a go! The fried melon son boiled in water, two cents for a big bag! I’m cooking sweet potato and white flour steamed buns, hurry up if you want to eat...you’ll be hungry when they’re sold out in a while! "

The train that Zhizhi took will arrive at Jienan Provincial Railway Station at around 7:00 tomorrow morning on time.

It was more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhizhi was really worried that there would be no dinner, so she bought a steamed bun with white noodles for two cents.

It is said to be white flour steamed buns, but the steamed buns of this era are not the delicate and slightly sweet steamed buns made of fine white flour in modern times. It's solid, big, bland, rough and cold.

Zhi Zhi took a bite, it had a strong wheat aroma but was very tooth-intensive.

After hesitating for a moment, she rummaged through the luggage to find an enamel cup, went to the junction of the carriages to get a cup of boiling water and came back, then tore up the steamed buns and dipped them in the boiling water before eating.

In fact, the second sister-in-law made three boxes of lard residue with different flavors for her.

But Zhizhi also knows that the journey in this era may not be peaceful. It is already very dangerous for her to travel far away as a single girl. And she is still an absolute weak in terms of physical strength, not to mention that the money is not in vain, she doesn't even want others to know that she has lard residue!

So she unhurriedly ate white flour steamed buns with boiling water, thinking that when everyone in the car fell asleep at night, she would quietly touch some lard residue to eat.

"Bring something to eat in the car", this sentence is still deeply engraved in the bones of Chinese people.

Not only Zhizhi was having

dinner, but in fact, the entire carriage bought food, or took out their own food, and started to eat.

The passenger sitting next to Zhi Zhi politely asked Zhi Zhi if she wanted to eat the glutinous rice they brought, Zhi Zhi shook her head and thanked.

The other party did not force it.

All of a sudden, the car was filled with all kinds of food smells.

Like Zhizhi, there are quite a few educated youths who rush to the countryside to aid in construction with their luggage on their backs.

Zhi Zhi sat in a three-seater seat, facing the three-seater seat opposite.

She was sitting by the window, with a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sitting beside her. The mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, was about 50 years old, and the daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, looked in her early thirties. Mrs. Zhang said that she was accompanying her mother-in-law to her natal family to visit relatives, and now she was going back home. Jienan's hometown.

Sitting opposite Zhi Zhi: a male educated youth by the corridor, a middle-aged woman sitting in the middle, and a female educated youth by the window.

The reason why I know that the two people sitting opposite are educated youths is because their luggage features are too obvious - they all carry bedding, washbasins and so on.

However, according to Zhizhi's observation, the two educated youths, a man and a woman, should not know each other.

The male educated youth was as taciturn as Zhi Zhi. But the young girl was different. She was lively and outgoing, and she chatted very speculatively with the strange middle-aged woman sitting next to her.

And because the two of them chatted loudly, Zhi Zhi, who had nothing to do, heard their conversation clearly.

The female educated youth is Zheng Ping, who is a child of the Red Brick Factory in the provincial capital of Hubei Province next door. She was assigned to go to the countryside on Nanling Island in Jienan Province to join the team. The middle-aged woman is Aunt Zhao, she is from Anhui Province, and she is going to visit her husband who is a soldier in Jienan Province.

At the beginning, Aunt Zhao and Zheng Ping were talking about the customs and customs of Jienan Province...

Slowly, Aunt Zhao began to focus on Zheng Ping intentionally or unintentionally.

After a while, Zheng Ping is eighteen years old, and she has not yet found a partner in high school. There are six people in her family. She has four sisters, an older brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister. What are her parents' names and where do they work... and her parents are patriarchal and

eccentric Her sister's words were set out by Aunt Zhao.

Zhi Zhi frowned.

She thinks there is something wrong with Aunt Zhao...

But Zhi Zhi is also a single girl herself, so it's not good to remind Zheng Ping to be careful to protect her body. I could only take advantage of Aunt Zhao's talk to Zheng Ping, stand up and go out with a cup to pour a glass of water, and then ask the aunt next to me where she was standing...

But Zheng Ping was completely unguarded.

On the contrary, it was Aunt Zhao who noticed Zhizhi's reminder, so she smiled and asked me where Zhizhi was from, how old she was today, who was in the family, did she go away alone, and what did she do...

Zhi Zhi made up her name to be Xiuxiu, from the provincial capital of Jienan Province, 25 years old this year, married and had children. Because she usually has to go to work and no one takes the child with her, she sent the child to her mother-in-law's house this trip.     Aunt Zhao was a little surprised, "Hey, looking at your face and figure, I thought you were only seventeen or eighteen years old... Like Pingping, you are an educated youth who came to the south of our world to jump in the queue!" Zhizhi smiled, "     I The face is tender and youthful!"     Aunt Zhao looked at Zhi Zhi, and the more she looked at her, the more she was amazed, "I really can't see it, so you are married and have children. Then... you go out alone, your man is not worried?" Zhi     Zhi Zhi said: "It's okay, I made an appointment with him, and he will take this train after finishing his mission. Even when he bought the ticket, he didn't know which car and seat I was in, and then he would have to use one car for another. You are looking for me."     When Aunt Zhao heard the words "on a mission", she quickly asked again,     "Xiuxiu, what does your man do?"     "He is the police, and he specializes in catching kidnappers!" Zhi Zhi Zhi said loudly.     Aunt Zhao turned pale.     Afterwards, she never talked to Zhizhi again, but continued to chat enthusiastically with Zheng Ping.     Seeing that Zheng Ping couldn't wake up, Zhi Zhi had no choice but to give up.     The green leather car stopped and drove, and it went from sunset to mid-moon without knowing it.     After ten o'clock at night, the carriage gradually became quiet.     Except for her, the group of six sitting across from Zhi Zhi was almost all asleep in their seats.     Only then did Zhi Zhi quietly put her hand into her satchel, opened the lunch box in the dark, took out the candied lard residue made by her second sister-in-law and ate it. She ate seven or eight yuan in one go, until she felt a little tired, then stopped and took a few more sips of water, wiped her fingers carefully with a handkerchief, and fell asleep holding her messenger bag.     In the middle of the night, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law surnamed Zhang who were sitting next to Zhizhi got off the bus at the station, and another young couple got up.

Aunt Zhao, who was sitting across from Zhi Zhi, was grinding her teeth while sleeping, and leaned directly on the young man beside her. The young man couldn't take it anymore, so he put his bag on the seat, and he walked to the junction of the aisle to get some air.

In the early morning of summer, it dawns very early.

It was about five o'clock when the sun rose.

Zhizhi has already ridden in a green leather car with her brother once, so she is more experienced. She knew that she had to hurry up to wash up on the train, otherwise when there were too many people, they would have to line up to go to the toilet and rinse their mouths, and those at the back of the line would often have no water to flush the toilet, rinse their mouths and wash their faces, which would be too uncomfortable.

So she took the cup, toothbrush and towel to wash up.

Just after washing up, and before she got back to her seat, Zhizhi heard a commotion, which seemed to be the sound of girls screaming and crying, and women's fierce yelling... Listen carefully, it seems familiar

?

Zhizhi hurried back to her seat.

At this time, Zheng Ping and Aunt Zhao had disappeared, and the male educated youth hadn't come back yet. A young couple sitting next to Zhizhi, like the other passengers, turned their heads to look at the door of the carriage with curious expressions. .

Zhi Zhi clearly heard Zheng Ping's cry -

"I don't know her! I really don't know her... Help! Help! Please help me!"

And, Zhi Zhi also heard Aunt Zhao " I

tell you, don't meddle in your own business! Zheng Ping is my daughter-in-law. She and my son had a quarrel and ran away from home...I want to take her back!" Zheng Ping

cried Out of breath, "I'm not leaving! I'm not leaving...I'm not her daughter-in-law and I don't know her! Uncle! Uncle! Brother... Please help me, I won't get off the car! I can't follow Let her go..."

Zhizhi's heart tightened, and she walked quickly to the car door.

Chapter 29

Zhi Zhi quickly walked to the door of the train carriage, squeezed into the crowd of onlookers, and then saw——

Aunt Zhao twisted Zheng Ping's arm with one hand, and grabbed Zheng Ping's hair with the other, and she was so angry that she wanted to tear her away. Zheng Ping's ferocious appearance as she pulled off the train. As for Zheng Ping, one hand was controlled by Aunt Zhao, and the other hand was tightly grasping a handrail at the junction of the carriages, and she was crying out of breath... The

onlookers whispered:

"What is going on? It’s the same thing? Could it be that she’s really a kidnapper?”

“No way, I’ll sit behind them, they know each other! And we’ve talked all this way, and we have a very good relationship.” “Why is

that girl crying like this? It’s normal People don't cry so sad, do they?"

"Didn't you hear? The girl is the old lady's daughter-in-law, she ran away for some reason... I don't know if it was a man who beat someone!" "

Should I call the police?"

"This is someone's housework..."

Zhizhi listened to everyone's discussion, and then looked at Zheng Ping's distressed appearance...

Of course she couldn't just sit idly by.

But how can she help Zheng Ping?

She is also a single girl herself, but she must not include herself in order to save Zheng Ping.

Aunt Zhao also heard everyone's discussion, and quickly started patching.

"Hey, folks, what's going on like this - it's my son who didn't live up to expectations and broke Pingping's heart... how can this young couple live without quarreling? They got married less than a year ago Pingping pushed Pingping for trivial matters, and Pingping got angry and said that she would go back to her mother's house. My son regretted it in his heart, but the young man was also very angry and unwilling to bow his head... This can only make me an old man Guys come forward!"

"This is our family's business, folks, don't worry, I will definitely let that kid kneel in front of Pingping and ask him to apologize to Pingping! Then the young couple will get back together and be harmonious and beautiful Live their little life...Thank you folks for your concern. Thank you thank you!"

Aunt Zhao is eloquent and has a loud voice.

Even though Zheng Ping kept crying and interrupted her, repeatedly emphasizing that she didn't know Aunt Zhao at all...

But Aunt Zhao's words obviously made everyone believe it.

At this time, the train slowly entered the platform.

Zhi Zhi glanced out of the window, and found that it was a very small station, and driving along this road, it could be seen that the neighborhood was very desolate. The green leather cars of this era are like this, not to mention the slow speed, and they must stop at every stop.

Zhizhi quickly ran towards the seat, and at the same time pressed the dial bracelet on her wrist that her elder brother made for her.

Back to their seats, the young couple sitting on the two seats next to Zhizhi still turned their heads to look at the carriage, and said in a low voice, "Why do     I

think what the girl said is true?"

Why is my daughter-in-law crying like this?"

Zhizhi took her satchel, quickly swipe her wrist towards the satchel, then quickly put the dial away, and screamed with all her strength—"There is a thief on the

train My... watch was stolen! Hurry up, close the door and call the police! No one can let go!!!"

Suddenly, there was silence on the train.

Even Aunt Zhao and Zheng Ping stopped making noise.

Someone lost their watch? ? ?

God, watches are expensive things. A Shanghai brand watch costs more than 200 yuan! Even if it's a second-hand watch, it's worth seven or eighty hundred yuan!

Zhizhi cried "Wow", and

said to the young couple sitting next to her: "Brother and sister-in-law, look...my bag! Woohoo, someone tore through my bag and stole my watch." Let’s go! Please help me call the police and stop people from leaving! Especially those sitting near us!”

The young couple was frightened.

In fact, their first reaction was: the two of them were sitting next to this little girl, and now her bag was slit open and her watch was lost... Isn't their suspicion the biggest?

The conscience of heaven and earth!

They didn't do it.

But the little girl begged them for help so pitifully...

The young couple immediately stepped forward.

The husband said, "I'm going to find the policeman!"

The wife said, "I'm going to stop him!"

Fortunately, the train slipped into the station slowly and hadn't stopped completely.

The young wife ran to the door and yelled, "You can't get off the train! Don't get off the train, everyone! There has been a theft on the train... We have already gone to the police, please don't get off the train!" The

young husband ran in the opposite direction and shouted, "There was a theft on the train... ...Where is the police officer? Please don't get off the train! Don't get off the train...Comrade conductor, please inform the conductor immediately!" At

this moment, all the carriages fell silent.

Soon someone followed suit and yelled—

"Someone is stealing something in the car!"

"The thief must still be in the car! Shut the doors!"

"Everyone, check your luggage and see if there is any No one lost anything!"

"Where is the policeman?"

"There are thieves on the train! There are thieves on the train!"

At this time, the train had already stopped, and a conductor came over and was about to open the door—

Aunt Zhao was still talking to Zheng Ping. Rivalry.

Zheng Ping clung to the armrest tightly, and cried, "Let go of me, I don't know you"...

Aunt Zhao kept dragging Zheng Ping to the car door inch by inch...

The young wife ran over to stop the conductor, "Comrade conductor, there has been a theft on the train, please don't open the door. In case the thief wants to get off the train..." The conductor came

from another carriage and heard the noise but didn't know the situation. .

After hearing what the young wife said, he was stunned, "Is there a thief? Who? Who lost something? What lost it?"

Zhi Zhi stepped forward, "Uncle conductor, my watch was stolen! Look, my watch is stolen!" The bag... was cut open with a knife!"

Someone in the carriage screamed—

"My God, this thief still has a knife in his hand!!!"

There was an uproar in the carriage!

"God, this thief has a knife in his hand!"

"Shouldn't he become angry and then... White knives go in and red knives go out?" "

My mother is so scary!"

"Oh my god, where is the police?"

"Help me The thief has a knife in his hand!"

The conductor immediately became nervous, and the train had stopped at this moment. He was pulling the gate and preparing to open it, but now he stopped pulling the gate and looked left and right, then took an iron rod from behind the car door and held it tightly in his hand.

Aunt Zhao was unhappy, and said to the conductor: "Hey, comrade, open the door, my daughter-in-law and I have to get off!"

Zheng Ping cried out of breath, "I'm not your daughter-in-law! I don't even know you ...Are you sick! Help! Help! I am an educated youth who jumped in the queue from Nanling Island in the Upper Realm! Uncle conductor, please help me, I don’t know her, I really don’t know her..." Aunt Zhao

,

" We are decent people, how can we steal things! Conductor, please open the door quickly, don’t delay our business!" The

young wife immediately said: "That’s impossible! Comrade conductor, you can’t open the door, in case the thief also takes the opportunity to get off and run away What can I do!"

Aunt Zhao scolded: "It's none of my business for you to catch thieves! When this train arrives at the station, it will open the door to let the passengers get off! You don't open the door when the train arrives at the station, and you serve the people like this? I told me I was going to Sue!"

The conductor hesitated again.

Zhizhi also cried, "Uncle conductor, my watch is whining...someone stole my watch..." The

conductor subconsciously asked, "What does your watch look like? How did you lose it?"

Zhizhi looked aside— —

Aunt Zhao and Zheng Ping are still entangled.

Zheng Ping's cloak was loose, and her face was covered with snot and tears. She had already fought with Aunt Zhao, and she had no strength at all.

Aunt Zhao was holding Zheng Ping with one hand and Zheng Ping's hair with the other. At this moment, she let go of Zheng Ping's head, and was about to break Zheng Ping's hand holding onto the armrest...

Zhizhi saw with sharp eyes that Aunt Zhao was wearing a women's watch on her wrist.

—It’s a Seagull watch.

In this era, the price of Shanghai brand watches is sky-high. Seagull watches are also very decent watches, but the price is not as expensive as Shanghai watches. In Zhizhi's family, only the three married women own Shanghai brand watches.

However, before Zhizhi left for a long trip, her parents considered that she would need a watch for driving on the road and later when she was working, so they spent 100 yuan to buy a second-hand Seagull watch from someone in the factory. .

Zhizhi's watch is exactly the same as the one worn on Aunt Zhao's wrist!

This is good news!

So Zhizhi didn't speak, but just stared at Aunt Zhao's watch with an exaggerated and shocked expression.

The conductor saw it, and the young wife who was helping Zhizhi saw it too, and soon understood.

The young wife pointed to Aunt Zhao's watch and asked Zhizhi, "Little sister, your watch..."

She hesitated to speak.

Zhizhi nodded repeatedly.

Everyone looked at Aunt Zhao with different expressions.     Aunt Zhao was stunned, she looked at Zhi Zhi, then at the young wife, and asked suspiciously

: "You, you... what do you mean?"

Said: "Comrade train conductor, comrade policeman, this is the little girl who lost something!"

The policeman looked at Zhizhi and asked: "Little comrade, did you lose something? What did you lose? Where did you lose it..."

He Before he could finish his sentence—

suddenly saw the young wife pointing at Aunt Zhao's wrist?

Aunt Zhao is wearing a Seagull watch on her wrist? ? ?

This means...

is this aunt who stole the little comrade's watch?

etc!

Why did this aunt catch a young woman with such actions? ? ?

At this time, Zheng Ping finally cried out with a "wow", "Help! Help, Comrade Public Security... Please help me quickly, help..." In the eyes of the marshals,

Zheng Ping's hair was disheveled and tears were streaming down her face. Aunt Zhao was completely in control, and kept asking him for help, she was a weak person at all.

He didn't think too much about it, and

grabbed , and controlled Aunt Zhao like a criminal.

As soon as Zheng Ping was freed, she immediately scrambled and hid behind Zhi Zhi and her young wife, crying loudly.

As soon as the onlookers saw Aunt Zhao being restrained by the marshals, they hurriedly said—

"Comrade Public Security, be careful, this thief has a knife!"

"Yes! She has a knife!"

"Arrest her! Pay attention to her hands! Don't let her take out a knife!"

"Unexpectedly, the thief is an old lady!"

"So she stole someone's watch, and she wants to steal a little girl away?"

...

Really ? There is everything.

This time it was Aunt Zhao's turn to yell anxiously and angrily, "What are you doing! What are you doing...Help! The police are beating people!"

When such a complicated matter happened, the train conductor with rich experience in dealing with it quickly dealt with it. A decision was made.

——The train has a total of more than a dozen cars. It is still early at this moment, and the door between the sleeper car and the hard seat car has not yet been opened. It is impossible for a thief to escape into a sleeping car. The rest of the cars, the dining car, are empty at the moment, and the broadcasting room and conductor's office are closed to the public.

So the thief can only stay in seven hard-seat cars.

The train conductor immediately notified the conductor, and first asked if there were any passengers in the seven hard-seat cars who needed to get off at this station.

Ten minutes later, the conductor informed the conductor through the train broadcast: No one needs to get off at this small station, including the sleeper car and hard-seat car.

So the train conductor ordered the conductor to open the door to let in the passengers who were waiting to get on the train, and then closed the door to inform the driver to drive.

Aunt Zhao was in a hurry, "Me! Me, me, me! I, my daughter-in-law and I are going to get off at this stop! Why don't you ask me! I want to get off here!" Zheng Ping cried: "

No ... Uncle conductor, Uncle Public Security, I am not her daughter-in-law, I, I am an educated youth who is going to Nanling Island to go to the countryside to jump in the queue! By the way, I will show you my ticket! My ticket is to the provincial capital, I want Transfer to the provincial capital... and my letter of introduction!"

Zheng Ping cried and returned to her seat, hurriedly found out her letter of introduction and ticket, and handed them to the train conductor and the police.

The train conductor looked at it and at least confirmed that Zheng Ping was an educated youth who went to the countryside to jump in the queue, and that her ticket was indeed going to the provincial capital.

So why did Aunt Zhao get off at such a remote station halfway?

The train conductor asked Aunt Zhao, "Show me your ticket."

In fact, Aunt Zhao knew something bad had happened as soon as the train started.

So now...

Hurry up and splash!

I hope that I can persist until the next stop, and then she escapes and gets off the car in a panic—

so she rolled her eyes and started talking nonsense, "The heavens are lingering and the earth is lingering... the Jade Emperor has a

psychic power!" Seeing her pretending to be crazy, she exchanged a look with the train conductor. The train conductor asked some conductors to come over, and escorted Aunt Zhao to the dining car, together with the "owner" Zhi Zhi, the young couple sitting next to Zhi Zhi, and Zheng Ping, who was sitting next to Aunt Zhao before but then walked away All the male educated youths were called to the dining car.

In the dining car, before Zhi Zhi had time to talk about her "lost watch", Zheng Ping tearfully talked about how Aunt Zhao suddenly dragged her to the car door—"I'm still     asleep , she suddenly pulled me to the car door... She even said that I was her daughter-in-law! I was so scared that I grabbed the handrail desperately, and she beat     me... Uncle Public Security, Uncle Train Conductor, you have to replace me I will uphold justice!"     Aunt Zhao yelled, "Comrade Public Security, Comrade Train Conductor, Zheng Ping is my daughter-in-law, this is our family's business, you can't spoil the marriage..." "I don't even know     your son !” Zheng Ping cried.     Aunt Zhao, "Pingping, you can't do this... We are still a family! You are angry, I know this, I will definitely criticize you man after we go back, and I will be the one to make the decision for you in the future, you little husband and wife Have a good time... Pingping, let's get off at the next stop!"

Zheng Ping was so angry that she cried, "I don't know you!"

Aunt Zhao said, "You don't know me? Then let me ask you, what is my son's name?"

Zheng Ping subconsciously replied, "Sibao..."

Aunt Zhao, "That's it! You don't know me, do you know my son and your man's name are Sibao?"

Zheng Ping, "I..."

Aunt Zhao, "Let me ask you again, your natal family is from the Red Brick Factory in the provincial capital, right?"

Zheng Ping, "Yes..."

Aunt Zhao, "Your father's name is Zheng Decai, and your mother's name is Li Honghua! You have an older brother, a younger brother and a younger sister, right?"

Zheng Ping, "This, this... yes."

Aunt Zhao , "Your parents are eccentric, patriarchal! But they are patriarchal, and they love your sister very much, and you are the only one who doesn't love your mother or mother, right? Because of this, after you marry my son, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will not be in love." It’s as good as something..."

Zheng Ping, "Yes... no, no, no, no!"

Aunt Zhao ignored Zheng Ping, turned to the train conductor and said, "Listen, comrade, I have already told you With Pingping, this is a conflict among the people, it is a family matter of your own family...don't worry about it so much!"

Zheng Ping was so frightened that she cried, "No, no, I really don't know you..."

"You don't know me? Aunt Zhao asked Zheng Ping back, "Then how do I know what your parents' names are? How do you know about me and my son?"

Zheng Ping cried in despair.

In fact, everyone present could see that there was something wrong with Aunt Zhao.

The train conductor stared at Aunt Zhao, "Comrade, show me your ticket."

Aunt Zhao said, "Black and white impermanence goes to the sky to capture the little devil and kill Wushe Taishang Laojun as urgently as the law!" Trembling and rolling eyes and foaming.

At this time, the young couple who had been silently helping each other finally couldn't bear it any longer.

The wife asked in a low voice: "Look for the lost watch of the little comrade!"

The husband stared at Aunt Zhao and said, "Is this woman a kidnapper?"

The train conductor and the policeman exchanged glances. .

Then the marshal asked Aunt Zhao where your ticket was.

Aunt Zhao went crazy again.

The marshal frowned and ordered the conductor to bring Aunt Zhao's luggage, while he put on gloves and began to check Aunt Zhao's luggage bag.

The result—

the marshal first found a sharp dagger with a scabbard from Aunt Zhao's luggage bag!

Everyone's expressions changed.

Then the marshals found Aunt Zhao's ticket—it was also going to the provincial capital of Jienan Province? !

The marshal took the ticket and the dagger, and asked Aunt Zhao sharply, "Say! Why do you have a dagger in your hand?" At

this moment, Aunt Zhao also panicked, "I, I am holding the dagger for self-defense! This, I am not going to Are you going far away..."

The marshal stared at her coldly, "Who in the ordinary people has such a dagger? Tell me,

who !"

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao carried a controlled knife with her, and suddenly Crucified she was a suspect.

The marshal did not dare to be negligent, and then checked the tickets of Zhizhi, the male educated youth and the young couple one by one, and confirmed that these six people were all going to the provincial capital. At that moment, he arranged for everyone to sit separately in the dining car, and they were not allowed to talk until the train arrived at the provincial capital station.

After arriving at the station, the police, with the assistance of the conductor, sent all six of them to the railway station police station.

Zhizhi was questioned by three different police officers for a total of six times.

She honestly told the police the truth: In fact, she did not lose anything, because she got into the car at the same time as Zheng Ping, the male educated youth, and Aunt Zhao. So she knew that Zheng Ping and Aunt Zhao didn't know each other before getting on the train... So Aunt Zhao wanted to take Zheng Ping off the train, and she instinctively thought that Aunt Zhao was a liar. But she didn't dare to come forward, because she was afraid of Aunt Zhao's revenge, so she lied that she had lost something...

Until about three o'clock in the afternoon, after asking the six people involved in the case, the police preliminarily determined that Facts:

——Aunt Zhao is indeed a kidnapper, and she is also a habitual offender.

——Zheng Ping was kidnapped but survived with the help of the people.

——Bie Zhizhi did not lose anything, but she acted bravely in another way and helped Zheng Ping.

After the matter was clarified, the police left Aunt Zhao and the others let her go.

Before leaving the police station, the police asked Zheng Ping to publicly thank Bie Zhizhi.

Zheng Ping was scared out of her wits, bowed deeply to Bie Zhizhi, and said in a tearful voice, "Comrade Xiuxiu, I thank you today! Thank you! Thank you very much... Really!

" The standing policeman laughed, "Zheng Ping, her name is not Xiuxiu. Her real name

is Bie Zhizhi. " Zhi... I am also an educated youth who went to Nanling Island to jump in the queue. My mother told me not to eat food from strangers when I was on the train, and not to tell strangers about my family situation. At that time, I saw that kidnapper kept I hinted that you were coming when I was trying to trick you, but unfortunately you didn't notice. Later, when the kidnapper asked me about my personal situation, I just talked nonsense..."

Zheng Ping was stunned.

The police couldn't help but educate her, "Comrade Zheng Ping, it's your luck this time. You met Comrade Bie Zhizhi, and she was able to find a way to save you. Otherwise, you will be in trouble if you are pulled out of the car by that kidnapper." ...Be careful in the future, a young man traveling alone should pay attention to safety!"

Zheng Ping burst into tears, "My mother never gave me these things, and it's also my first time traveling far away..."

Bie Zhizhi also thanked the young couple, "Brother and sister-in-law, I also thank you today Help from the two of you. Otherwise... I can't do this by myself."

The young couple also quickly said: "It's all right, you must be careful when you go out in the future!"

The young couple left.

Zhi Zhi, Zheng Ping, and another male educated youth went to the Educated Youth Office next to the police station to report.

When registering in line, Zhi Zhi knew that the male educated youth's name was Tao Rongzhi. Coincidentally, he also went to Nanling Island to jump in line.

This is already the provincial capital of Jienan Province, and because Nanling Island is a key jumping point for educated youths, many educated youths who rushed here to report are already waiting here. The Educated Youth Office first arranged for the three of Zhi Zhi to stay here, and then told them that when more people gathered, they would arrange a special car to take them directly to Nanling Island.

So Zhi Zhi lived in the educated youth dormitory with Zheng Ping and Tao Rongzhi.

Jienan Province is very poor, very poor.

It is really poverty that is visible to the naked eye.

Ordinarily, the provincial capital railway station should be the area with the largest passenger flow and the most prosperous area.

But the provincial capital railway station here is just a row of bungalows.

The police station next to the train station is also a row of bungalows, the educated youth office on the side of the police station is also a row of bungalows, and the other units on the other side are also a row of bungalows... The "square

" in front of the train station is actually a small sandy and gravel field. A few military jeeps and military trucks were parked here and there. Behind the train station is a barren hill that stretches as far as the eye can see.

This place is so desolate that there is not even a hawker selling buns...

The educated youth dormitory in the educated youth office is simple and crude!

To be precise, the dormitory is actually a shed in the yard built with bamboo sheds for ventilation on all sides.

Other female educated youths saw Zhi Zhi, Zheng Ping, and Tao Rongye coming in with their luggage on their backs, and greeted them warmly, telling them:

——The female educated youths lived in bamboo sheds, while the male educated youths slept on the floor outside. Of course, it is daytime now, and the male educated youths have to put away their bedding, and they can only open the bedding after dinner.

——This is the toilet, because there are few pits, so only female educated youths can use it, and male educated youths have to go to the barren hills behind to solve it by themselves!

——This is the kitchen, but the kitchen is very small, so everyone eats in the courtyard and uses their own bowls. By the way, if you want to wash the dishes, you have to go to the river under the barren hills behind to wash.

For the poverty in Jienan Province, Zhizhi has already been mentally prepared, and now she is just looking east and west curiously...

Zheng Ping stared blankly at the simple courtyard and the big bamboo shed that was ventilated on all sides. , suddenly cried with a "wow".

Chapter 30

Zhizhi looked sideways at Zheng Ping who was crying.

The female educated youth who acted as their introducer was also stunned, and asked in astonishment: "What's the matter?"

Zheng Ping cried for a while, then turned to look at Zhizhi, also with a surprised expression on her face, as if to say - you Why don't you cry? Don't you think the environment and conditions here are poor?

Zhi Zhi ignored Zheng Ping and walked a few steps forward, visiting the transitional place where she would spend three or four days.

Zheng Ping hurriedly told the female educated youth about her experience on the train, saying that she had never traveled far, and that she was almost trafficked or something...

The female educated youth was terrified.

Tao Rongzhi walked a few quick steps to catch up with Zhizhi, and stammered, "Farewell, Comrade Zhizhi... yes, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry. I, I... last night I, I went to the next car to find a Sit down, so I wasn't there when Comrade Zheng Ping had an accident. Later, when I heard the news and rushed over, there were too many people watching and I couldn't squeeze in...I, I really didn't stand up on purpose, please don't Comrade Zhi, please believe me!"

Zhi Zhi smiled, "I believe you! But... why are you apologizing to me?" She continued walking towards the bamboo shed.

A young girl with shofar braids ran over and asked Zhizhi, "Hey, are you new here?"

Zhizhi nodded.

"My name is Hong Huohuo, what's your name?" the girl with shofar braids asked.

Zhizhi, "My name is Bie Zhizhi, don't be someone else's Bie, Zhi is the gardenia of Gardenia... how do you write your name?" ——Why is there still

someone called Prosperous?

The girl with croissant braids used her left hand as a board, and gestured with her right hand a few times, "The water of the flood, the fire of the flames."

Zhizhi understood that the girl with the croissant braids spoke Mandarin with a slight dialect accent, but her name was actually Hong Hehe.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhizhi basically figured out Hong Hehe's personal situation—this girl is also seventeen years old, and she is the second child of seven children in her family. The younger sister is not yet an adult, so she came to the countryside. Coincidentally, Zhizhi and Hong Hehe still went to the same brigade.

At this time, the female educated youth who was talking to Zheng Ping screamed, "Oh my God! That's too scary..."

This sudden movement attracted the attention of many people.

Many educated youths gathered around, asking what was going on.

Hong Hehe was leading Zhizhi into the bamboo shed, and seeing Tao Rongye also came in, he hurriedly said to him: "Hey, gay men are not allowed in here..."

Tao Rongye retracted his foot in embarrassment, not knowing What to do.

Hong Hehe directed him, "Hey, you put your luggage there... See, the other male educated youths also put their luggage there. Then you take a rest and pack your things - you sat all the way You must take out your towels and change of clothes later, and I will take you to the river to wash your face first." "It is more than four o'clock now, and the water in the river is not cold

. Hurry up to take a shower and wash your hair...Of course, you can also wash it after dinner at night, but at night, the water is cold, the light is not good, and the flashlight is a waste of battery, and the third is that you are not used to walking at night. It's easy to sprain your feet... Zhizhi, you say, right?" Hong Hehe said.

Zhizhi nodded.

It does make sense.

Tao Rongye thanked Hong Hehe, introduced himself to her, and then went to pack his luggage as she said.

Hong Hehe led Zhizhi into the bamboo shed, and said, "Hey, my bedding is here, and

there is another place next to me. If you don't mind, you can make a floor bedding here!"

Of course Zhizhi didn't. mind.

So she put down the luggage she carried behind her, and according to Hong Hehe's suggestion, she took a tin iron washbasin, a towel, soap and a change of clothes; of course, Hong Hehe also found a towel and a change of clothes, He hurried out of the bamboo shed with Zhizhi.

Tao Rongye had already found his things, and was waiting for them at the door of the bamboo shed.

Zheng Ping was still surrounded by people, and she didn't know what to say...

Then I heard the female educated youth who was the introducer shouted, "...God, Comrade Zheng Ping is too pitiful." , if this happened to me, I would be terrified too! Then let’s cook something delicious today, to scare Comrade Zheng Ping, okay?” Hong Hehe asked Zhi Zhi, “Zhi

Zhi , why did the three of you arrive now? Shouldn’t you have arrived after seven o’clock in the morning? Is the train late? But I didn’t hear that there was a train arriving in the afternoon.” Jienan Province is too poor, and the only trains that arrive at the provincial capital every day

are Four or five columns, all concentrated in the morning.

So when Zhizhi and the other three rushed to the Educated Youth Station, Hong Hehe felt very strange: Why is it this time? She didn't hear the sound of a train passing by either!

Zhizhi followed Hong Hehe to the river, and at the same time briefly explained what happened on the train.

Hong Hehe couldn't believe it, "Zheng Ping sold herself the first time she went out? Isn't she too stupid? Why do you want to tell strangers about your family situation!

" Laugh without saying a word.

Tao Rongye explained: "Maybe...she doesn't love her parents at home, so no one taught her."

Hong Hehe still finds it incredible, "If it's really the child whose parents don't love her mother Ah, I must have learned to look at people's faces since I was a child, but I am clever, I will never be so stupid, so easy to be fooled!" At

this moment, Tao Rongye also felt that something was wrong.

But he was not familiar with Zheng Ping, so he shut up and continued to be taciturn.

Zhizhi changed the topic with a smile, and asked Hong Hehe how to take a shower, wash his hair and wash his hair.

Hong Hehe also knew everything and said everything.

When they reached the river, Zhizhi understood.

——There were two simple bathing rooms built with felt cloth, one for men and one for women, and the distance between the two rooms was about 30 meters.

Zhizhi followed Hong Hehe into the yurt, where there were already two female educated youths taking a bath and washing their hair.

Zhizhi was a little embarrassed, but the other two were generous, and even greeted Zhizhi, and briefly introduced her name and the place where she was about to go to the countryside to jump in the queue... Hong Hehe told Zhizhi, "Come here

later Take a shower and wash your hair, you must find a partner. First, for safety reasons, wash alone and watch the wind alone. Second, it is not enough to wash your hair and take a bath with a basin of water, so you wash first, and I will show you, no Let the man approach here and fetch water for you too—I’ll fetch you another pot of water after you’ve used up the pot of water. After you’ve finished washing and changed your clothes, I’ll do the laundry for you. Come and help me, Wang Feng Gang I fetch water."

Zhi Zhi spent a day and a night on the train, her whole body was drenched in sweat several times, and she could already smell the sour smell on her body. After hearing Hong Hehe's explanation, she nodded again and again, "Then I'll wash it first, thank you, Hehe."

There was no other barrier in the bathing room, but Zhizhi couldn't take care of it either. She took off her clothes, and Hong Hehe Hehe had already fetched a basin of river water for her, and she began to wash her hair and take a bath with the river water.

Jienan Province is the southernmost part of the motherland, the four seasons are like summer, the sun is at its most venomous around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the river water is scorched very

gently...

But when the first scoop of river water was poured on her upper body, Zhizhi was still shocked Spiritually shuddered.

It got better afterward.

Zhizhi washed herself thoroughly and felt comfortable.

It's just washing her hair with soap that she can't accept.

Although her hair was washed very clean, she was terrified by the astringent feeling when combing her hair...

Now it’s a special time, so I don’t care about it. When she settles down, she has to find a way to deal with the shampoo——in Songshi When I was at home, my mother made the shampoo at home. It is easier to use than the imported shampoo and conditioner used by later generations!

Mom taught her how to make shampoo.

After Zhizhi took a shower, she changed to Hong Hehe. Then Zhizhi went back and forth to help her fetch water like Hong Hehe did before... After Hong Hehe also finished taking a shower, the two went to the river to wash dirty clothes together with a basin.

It was half past five when we got back to the dormitory.

Zheng Ping was still sobbing and accepting everyone's comfort...

Hong Hehe took Zhi Zhi to meet her.

There are currently more than 20 educated youths living in the educated youth station, half male and half male, all of whom are going to Nanling Island. Hong Hehe has lived here for three days. It is said that if there are about forty people, the Educated Youth Office will send the educated youths directly to Nanling Island with a transport truck from the military area.

To get to know more than 20 people at once, Zhi Zhi couldn't recognize them all.

But because of Zhizhi's beautiful appearance and special name, everyone immediately remembered her.

Six o'clock is the time for dinner.

Zhi Zhi also took out her own lunch box, and lined up with everyone to get lunch.

Jienan Province is poor as far as the naked eye can see, and the environment of this educated youth station is like this, Zhizhi is already mentally prepared.

When it was her turn to cook, she couldn't help being stunned when she saw a spoonful of miscellaneous bean porridge for each person, a piece of black cake that was unknown to what it was, and a pot of chili mixed with what looked like tree roots. live.

The woman in charge of the spoon took a look at Zhizhi and asked, "Little sister, new here today?"

Zhizhi nodded.

The woman in charge of the spoon added another half spoonful of bean porridge, "Here! Newcomers can add half a spoonful of porridge!" "

Thank you, auntie!"

The woman in charge of the spoon smiled, "You city people are civilized and polite!"

Zhi Zhi With a smile, he and Hong Hehe walked up to the big bowl of chili and vegetables with the lunch box in hand,

and asked curiously, "What is this?" The land is poor, and the core of the banana tree is also a good thing. We are afraid that we will eat too much, so we make it salty and spicy. You can take a little, it is very spicy." Zhizhi can't eat spicy food, but she is very curious about the banana

tree No matter what the taste of the core is, he took two small pieces as he said, and then followed Hong Hehe to find a seat aside.

Bean porridge is not good at all.

The cooking time is not enough, resulting in the beans are still hard, just chewing is very difficult.

But that dark pancake was also a bean cake made of miscellaneous beans and a little flour, and it was baked. The beans in the bean cake are soaked in water, so they are relatively soft, and the skin is crispy after roasting, with a slight salty taste, which is more delicious.

Zhi Zhi took a small bite of the bean cake, and then mustered up the courage to take a bite of chilli sauce mixed with banana tree core...

Well, the taste of this thing is a bit like fresh yam, crunchy, slightly sweet, and the taste is not bad.

But it is surprisingly spicy!

Zhizhi was so hot that she gasped, and quickly took a mouthful of bean porridge, not daring to swallow it.

She was beautiful and lovely, and she

had already attracted the attention of many male educated youths. Seeing her cute behavior, they couldn't help laughing.

"My God, what is this?" Zheng Ping's weeping voice sounded again.

Everyone looked at Zheng Ping in unison.

——I saw her staring at the wooden bucket full of bean porridge, her eyes widened in shock, and then she slowly looked at the pitch-black bean cakes in the basket, with a look of disbelief.

"This, isn't this swill?" Zheng Ping wanted to cry, "And this... what is this? Is it burnt rice?" As soon as this

remark came out, the aunt who was in charge of the spoon became unhappy, "Do you want to eat it or not! If you don’t want to eat it, let others eat it!”

The educated youths were quite unhappy after hearing Zheng Ping’s words: We are all urban youths, we know you are coquettish and you are precious, but everyone is eating this kind of food, why did it get into your mouth? Turned into slop?

Zheng Ping was even more aggrieved, "I, I just asked, why are you so fierce!" Then she stared at the hands of the auntie in charge, "You, your nails are so dirty..." The auntie in charge said angrily, "

You It’s fine if you don’t want to eat, the next one will come over for dinner!”

At this time, a high-pitched voice rang out, “Aunt Tian, do you have any boiled eggs?”

——Zhizhi already knew that the girl’s name was Li Fen was the girl who was very enthusiastic at the beginning, but has been hanging around Zheng Ping since then.

The aunt in charge scolded: "You want to eat fart, where do you get eggs? If we can afford eggs, we still need you to go to the countryside to jump in the queue?"

Li Fen was upset, "But Zheng Ping was frightened, why can't she eat it? Besides, how could there be no eggs? Didn't you cook an egg for Liu Jiaojiao when she was sick last time? You said that you were asked to cook eggs, but you didn’t say there were no eggs!"

Aunt Zhang said, "Liu Jiaojiao is sick and eats eggs because her fellow villagers gave me the eggs and asked me to cook them for you. If you feel sorry for the newcomer Yes, then you lay an egg, and I will cook it for you too!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

"You!"

Li Fen blushed with anger.

Zhizhi finished eating the bean cakes, but the bean porridge...she really chewed until her cheeks became weak, and finally finished the porridge water. Seeing that there were still a lot of beans left in the lunch box, Zhi Zhi was a little worried.

Throw it away, what a pity.

But she really can't eat it...

Hong Hehe observed Zhi Zhi for a while, and seeing her worrying about the beans in the bowl, he asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, can't eat it?"

Zhi Zhi also said in a low voice: "My appetite is so big...

"Then give it to me, I can still eat. "Hong Hehe said.

Zhizhi asked her, "You don't dislike it?" "

Hong Hehe laughed, "It's good if you can fill your stomach. If there is anything you don't dislike, don't dislike it!" "

Zhi Zhi poured all the beans in the bowl to Hong Hehe.

Hong Hehe thanked Zhizhi and started to eat seriously.

Zhizhi was thinking that the three boxes of lard leftovers that the second sister-in-law made for her were so sweet. She has already finished the mouthful box, and she has eaten most of the salty box, and she has not touched the spicy box. Of course, the second sister-in-law knows that she does not eat spicy food, so this box is made to make She shared it with others.

But this group seems...

not a group with strong centripetal force and worthy of sharing good things.

The trouble is, the weather is so hot, and the box of spicy lard residue has to be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise it will go bad.

Zhi Zhi fell into deep thought.

Zheng Ping sat aside with tears in her eyes, weeping silently, without food or appetite.
