Chapter 271
Xu Yunduo cried and said to Aunt Jiang: "Aunt Jiang, I'm so sorry... I, I failed you!" Then she turned to Li Shu and said, "Li Shu, I'm sorry! Please forgive me!" Zhizhi
asked Said: "Mother Jiang, do you need us to go to the next room to stay for a while?"
It means: Shall we avoid suspicion for a while?
Ms. Jiang and Li Shu haven't made a statement yet -
Xu Yunduo said: "No, don't Comrade Zhizhi, I, I have only been here for three days, but I already feel that your group is different from other groups. It's the same. My story is a bit embarrassing, but it's my own fault, I've done it, and I'm not afraid of others talking about it." She
sniffed, and said: "In order to let everyone know the ins and outs, I still... start from the beginning Let's go."
In fact, what happened was simple-Xu Yunduo's song and dance troupe was also facing rectification, and most of its members were about to go to the countryside. But Xu Yunduo didn't think much about it, because she felt that she was the pillar of the troupe, and unless the song and dance troupe was disbanded and no one remained, she would definitely be the last one left.
Xu Yunduo's overconfidence gave her a hard blow.
There are three batches of workers sent to the countryside to participate in the unit's list, and she, Xu Yunduo, is...
the first batch to be sent to the countryside? ? ?
Xu Yunduo was dumbfounded.
It wasn't until then that she thought of asking who was on the first batch of lists.
In fact, almost all the names on the list of the first batch of being sent to the countryside were within Xu Yunduo's expectation, except that she was one more.
So, who are the first batch of colleagues sent to the countryside?
--in charge of logistics, in less important positions in the administrative office, in the chorus and dance troupe's harmony and backing dance department... plus another her.
Xu Yunduo was dumbfounded.
She hurried to the head of the group to ask what was going on.
But the head of the regiment who had always been amiable to her suddenly changed his face and said in a cold tone: "Everyone is the same, whoever goes to the countryside is not going to the countryside? Comrade Xu Yunduo needs to be a little bit more enlightened!" Xu Yunduo was anxious,
" But I am the lead dancer for all the dancers in the dance troupe!"
The head dancer sneered, "Even if you can stay...do you think there will be a chance to perform again in the future?"
Xu Yunduo was stunned, "What are you doing? What do you mean?"
The leader waved his hand and sighed, "Yun Duo, you should make preparations early! You can choose a place by yourself if you leave early, and it won't do you any good to waste it." Xu Yunduo left the
leader's office in a daze, thinking Then go to find her partner Gao Junwei first.
Gao Junwei is also a pillar of the song and dance troupe. Xu Yunduo has been in the troupe for three years, but he has pursued her for two and a half years. She only agreed to date him in the second half of last year.
But Gao Junwei was not there.
A young man who had pursued Xu Yunduo for several years but failed, and finally watched Xu Yunduo and Gao Junwei's date couldn't help but tell her, "Yun Duo,
you are too concerned about practicing martial arts and dancing, so you don't pay attention to these things at all! Although we have never been formally notified that our group will be shut down, gossip has already spread all over the sky! Those who are well-informed and those who are related to the family have been transferred away, and everyone else is trying to find a way. ..."
Xu Yunduo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly Fu Ling's heart came to him, and asked: "Gao Junwei...has found a way too?"
--Gao Junwei has a good appearance, tall and handsome, eloquent, gentle, considerate and He is very good at observing facial expressions, and has good basic skills, but he comes from a poor family and has no background or family background. If even Xu Yunduo was going to the countryside, why wasn't Gao Junwei in the first list?
The young man looked at Xu Yunduo with the meaning that "you are the only one in the whole world who doesn't know", and finally he said vaguely: "I don't know about this either, why don't you ask... Hu Jiani ?"
Hu Jiani?
Xu Yunduo frowned.
--Xu Yunduo is the pillar of the singing and dancing troupe, and Hu Jiani is Wannian's second child. As long as Xu Yunduo is around, nothing will happen to her, Hu Jiani. Unless the song and dance troupe needs to arrange two performances in two places at the same time, Xu Yunduo is too busy for Hu Jiani to enjoy the leading dancer's addiction...
As long as Xu Yunduo is there, there will be no bright future for Hu Jiani!
Xu Yunduo understood a little.
But she couldn't believe it.
She thanked the young man, first went to Gao Junwei's single dormitory to look for him, but couldn't find him, then hurried home.
When she got home, Xu Yunduo was stunned!
The glass windows of her beautiful two-story villa were smashed, the door was kicked down, and even the flowers and plants in the garden were pulled out and thrown in the garden.
All the porcelain in the house that could be smashed was broken, and the furniture fell to the ground in a mess...
The stepmother hugged her seven-year-old sister and two-year-old brother and huddled in a corner, crying loudly, telling Xu Yunduo with blurred eyes, "...they Said your father is a stinky old nine, and escorted him to the cowshed!"
After a long time, Xu Yunduo recovered his voice and asked, "What about Hu Zongxiao (Hu Jiani's father)? He didn't go to the cowshed? "
The stepmother shook her head sadly, and whispered a few words with tears in her eyes.
Xu Yunduo understood.
--Father Xu and Father Hu are mortal enemies of the same unit, just like her, Xu Yunduo and Hu Jiani. Now that Hu's father has gained power, then Xu's father is the first one to be unlucky!
The stepmother was nagging again, saying that Xu's father had been taken away for several days. She searched for all the people she could find, but everyone said there was no way... In the end, the stepmother burst into tears
again .
Xu Yunduo had no choice but to go find her mother.
Her biological mother and father divorced in the early years due to emotional discord, and she was already ten years old when her stepmother married her father. The stepmother is a rural woman with no family background but an honest person.
And Xu Yunduo's biological mother has a very close relationship with Xu Yunduo because she never married after the divorce.
Not long after Xu Yunduo rushed to become a monk, he saw Hu Jiani and Gao Junwei who were cuddling together in the yard!
Hu and Gao were eating popsicles, one was holding glutinous rice and red dates popsicles, the other was holding mung bean popsicles, you feed me, I feed you... When they met each other, the three of them
froze.
Hu Jiani immediately said to Xu Yunduo in a strange manner: "Oh, this is not Yunduo, hey, did you know that your father went to the countryside? Oh, I forgot, you were rehearsing for that white-haired girl recently, so your father came out so Don't you know about the big things?"
"Hey, Yun Duo, don't worry about your father, you should care about yourself...By the way, when will you go to the countryside? Do you want to set up a few tables? A farewell fare for you?" Hu Jiani gloated.
Xu Yunduo ignored Hu Jiani and just looked at Gao Junwei in a daze.
Although she and Gao Junwei have only dated for half a year, which is not long, but when it comes to feelings...she still has some genuine feelings for Gao Junwei.
She couldn't allow her partner to fall in love with another woman before... breaking up with her.
"Gao Junwei, give me an explanation." Xu Yunduo said. Gao Junwei didn't dare to look at her directly, and lowered his head and whispered, "Yun Duo, I'm sorry...we are not suitable. I, I just want to find a girl like Jiani as a partner. I know I still owe you a breakup... ...Yunduo, let's break up!"
"Is it really because it's inappropriate?" Xu Yunduo asked again.
Gao Junwei was speechless.
On the contrary, Hu Jiani smiled and said, "Junwei, just tell her the truth... Yun Duo, the situation is like this, I have an indicator to stay in the city, so as long as Junwei and I get married, he can keep his original position. My parents have already helped us choose an auspicious date, and I will invite you to have a wedding wine at that time! Isn't it Junwei?"
Gao Junwei looked at Xu Yunduo, his eyes were red, and he nodded slightly.
Xu Yunduo stared at Gao Junwei for a long time, and then said to Hu Jiani: "I wish you happiness!"
She sneered, thinking that you are a woman who is a villain and a man who treacherous...then lock it up!
Xu Yunduo hurried to her mother's work unit, but was in vain.
--Although Xu's mother and Xu's father have been divorced for a year, Xu's father's going to the cowshed still implicated Xu's mother (because when Hu's father and Xu's father had a grudge, Xu's mother had not yet divorced Xu's father, and Hu's father was the same Hate Xu's mother), so Hu's father repeatedly went to the unit to talk to Xu's mother...
The superiors asked Xu's mother to take a vacation at home to avoid the limelight for the purpose of protecting Xu's mother.
Xu Yunduo failed to find her mother in her work unit, but met... Zheng Zhou.
Xu's mother works in a military enterprise, and she wants to match Xu Yunduo and Zheng Zhou with all her heart.
But Xu Yunduo devoted all his attention to his career, and didn't have too many expectations and expectations for relationships. The reason why she accepted Gao Junwei was because she and Gao Junwei met each other in the same unit.
Zheng Zhou is a soldier. He looks good, is tall, has a handsome temperament, and has a good family background.
When Xu Yunduo saw him for the first time, his heart was really moved.
But Xu Yunduo felt that, on the one hand, Zheng Zhou often traveled on business and was away from home for more than 20 days a month; Dancing in the troupe, it is inevitable that there will be physical contact with the male dancers... She was afraid that Zheng Zhou would not be able to accept it, or that Zheng Zhou would ask her to be transferred from the song and dance troupe.
So Xu Yunduo flatly rejected Zheng Zhou, and was sad about it for a while, before choosing Gao Junwei's.
That is to say, she chose Gao Junwei not because she liked Gao Junwei so much, but...Gao Junwei also works in the song and dance troupe, and he was concerned about the time of work and overtime, as well as with other male dancers during performances and rehearsals. When the victim had physical contact, Gao Junwei was more accepting than Zheng Zhou.
Seeing Zheng Zhou now, Xu Yunduo was a little embarrassed, but still mustered up the courage to tell Zheng Zhou about her father's situation, and that her name had been included in the first batch of people sent to the countryside by the unit.
At that moment, Xu Yunduo was both uneasy and filled with hope.
However, Zheng Zhou said: "Your partner can't help you?"
Xu Yunduo said in embarrassment: "I, I have been busy with choreography and rehearsals, and I didn't know about these things until today... I went to find him He... broke up with me."
Zheng Zhou sneered, and was about to speak -
a beautiful girl came out from nowhere, called "Brother Zheng Zhou" affectionately, and then stepped forward to hug her. Zheng Zhou looked at Xu Yunduo again with his hand, and asked Zheng Zhou curiously, "Brother Zheng Zhou, who is she?
" ", and left as if fleeing...
She went to her mother's residence, only to find that there was a guest.
The guest is a colleague of the mother, and the reason for the visit is that Ms. Jiang, a colleague from the unit, will leave tomorrow to visit her officer's son in Nanling Town, Lin City, Jienan Province... Xu's mother works in this part of the staff. Ms. Jiang is going Visiting relatives, Xu's mother asked for leave again, and it was the end of the year, and she was too busy at all, so the leader asked a colleague to come over, hoping to explain Xu's mother going back to work at the unit.
When Xu's mother and two colleagues talked about Ms. Jiang and her only child, she used an envious tone.
--Ms. Jiang's husband, Commander Li, is only in his early forties, and he is already at the division level. Their only son, Li Shu, is only twenty-three years old this year, and he has made outstanding achievements repeatedly, and has already achieved the rank of major at a young age. It is said that Commander Li suppressed it, and Li Shu was a platoon leader in a coastal defense force. Otherwise, with Li Shu's own military achievements, he would be more than enough to be a battalion commander!
At this moment, a shameful idea popped up in Xu Yunduo's mind.
If she climbs up to Aunt Jiang, and passes through Aunt Jiang...and Li Shu will fall in love! The military family is protected, so she can continue to dance in the song and dance troupe! Hu Jiani and her father couldn't touch her anymore, and even her father...will be under protection!
Why would she not do it?
At this time, Xu's mother's colleague left, and Xu Yunduo told her mother that she was also on the list of the first batch of going to the countryside...
Xu's mother was very shocked.
After thinking for a moment, Xu's mother told her daughter not to worry, and she went to Zheng Zhou to find a way.
When I heard that my mother was going to find Zheng Zhou?
Xu Yunduo refused desperately.
It was night, and she slept on the sofa at her mother's house completely awake. Early the next morning, my mother went to work to take over Ms. Jiang's work. Xu Yunduo left a note for her mother, took a simple luggage to the train station to buy a short-distance ticket, and staged a scene of encountering Ms. Jiang by chance.
Maybe it's... Her acting skills are not good enough, and Ms. Jiang quickly set her up to expose Xu Yunduo's intentions.
Xu Yunduo felt ashamed and angry.
But she had no way out, so she could only beg Ms. Jiang bitterly. When Ms. Jiang was about to arrange someone to send her back to Beijing several times, she pretended to be sick and did various things...
In this way, she pestered Ms. Jiang all the way until she came to Seagull Island.
Speaking of this, Xu Yunduo bowed deeply to Ms. Jiang, "Aunt Jiang, this is... all the cause and effect. I, I am ashamed of what I did, so I want to say sorry to you !"
Ms. Jiang's face turned pale, and her tone of voice softened, "I may really not be able to help you with your going to the countryside, but what about your father's matter... Our old Li doesn't have much to say in the local area Quan, but to improve your father's current situation, so that he can eat three meals a day, and have hot water to eat and use, it should be no problem."
Xu Yunduo shook her head, "Thank you, Aunt Jiang, no need."
Ms. Jiang was taken aback.
Xu Yunduo bowed to Father Li again, "Uncle Li, I'm sorry...I caused you and Aunt Jiang too much trouble along the way!"
Father Li didn't say a word.
Next, Xu Yunduo said to Li Shu: "I'm sorry, Li Shu, please forgive me."
Li Shu said: "Since yesterday, my personal reputation has been transferred to Comrade Bie Zhizhi. You can ask her , she said forgive me, forgive me!"
Zhi Zhi gave Li Shu a hard look.
How could Xu Yunduo fail to understand Li Shu's implication?
She looked at Zhizhi: "Farewell, Comrade Zhizhi, please forgive me!"
Zhizhi smiled and said, "Actually, those things you said were all things you thought about in your heart, and you didn't actually do them, so you also You don't need to apologize to me."
Xu Yunduo raised his head, looked at Zhizhi, and summoned up his courage to ask, "Farewell, Comrade Zhizhi, I, I want to ask you... If I go back to Kyoto now, I will fill out the field and jump in the queue. If you fill in Seagull Island...will you accept me?"
Zhizhi looked at Xu Yunduo quietly.
Xu Yunduo also looked at Zhizhi, with anticipation and desire in his eyes, and said: "Don't worry, I will also participate in labor like you, and I swear that I will never be lazy. I just hope... In your free time, you can have a little time to practice dancing, and then during the slack season, you can watch my dance with pure appreciation like just now!" After speaking, Xu Yunduo asked earnestly:
" Farewell to Comrade Zhizhi, is it okay?"
Zhizhi pondered for a moment, then replied: "No."
Chapter 272
Xu Yunduo's face was pale, looking at Zhizhi, tears welling in his eyes.
"Farewell, Comrade Zhizhi, is it because I have evil thoughts in my heart and want to climb the high branch of Li Shu, that you... refuse me to join? Or do you think I am singing a bitter drama to you? Are you afraid that when I get to Seagull Island, I will...make plans for Li Shu?" Xu Yunduo said with tears in his eyes.
Hong Hehe who was standing aside couldn't help but said, "Zhizhi, I don't think Xu Yunduo is this kind of person..."
The educated youths looked at each other.
Zhizhi smiled and said, "Comrade Xu Yunduo, what is your purpose for joining our Seagull Island?"
Xu Yunduo wiped away tears and said without hesitation: "Because I like dancing! Dancing is like my life ...No, dancing is more important than my life! If my going to the countryside is a foregone conclusion, then I will not give up dancing! I will practice after completing the labor tasks, and I will never delay labor!" "Another
one That is, I know that as long as I go to the countryside...if I'm unlucky, I might be killed for fish and meat! Farewell, Comrade Zhizhi, I'm also...a little famous dancer, and I've met...very ugly Fortunately, someone came forward to save me..."
Speaking of this, Xu Yunduo's indifferent appearance appeared in Xu Yunduo's mind.
She shook her head vigorously, shaking that person's cold face out of her mind, and then continued to say to Zhizhi: "I have received all the looks that everyone looked at me just now! I can say responsibly that you are the best audience , you... When you watch me dance, your eyes are clean and pure, you are appreciating the beauty of the dance seriously, and you have not had any bad thoughts about me personally..." Saying, Xu Yunduo
's Tears flowed down, "Farewell, Comrade Zhizhi, can you... take me in?"
Hong Hehe said in a low voice, "Zhizhi, just promise Yunduo!"
Zhizhi swept Hong He lightly. He glanced at him and said to Xu Yunduo in a good temper: "Comrade Xu Yunduo, thank you for affirming the quality of all our Seagull Island members, but I'm really sorry, our Seagull Island will not recruit new members."
Xu Yunduo was stunned.
She sobbed slightly.
Zhi Zhi said: "Let me give you an explanation! Because the positioning of Seagull Island is...we, the twelve educated youths, should take the lead. We are the sparks that can start a prairie fire. With the power of technology, we will drive the entire Nanling to come. Carry out scientific and technological farming, and then affect the whole city, and in the future we will affect the people of the whole country..."
Hearing this, the eyes of Ms. Jiang and Father Li flashed a look of surprise.
The couple exchanged a look, and they both found the surprise in each other's eyes - Zhi Zhi's dream... is really grand!
Zhizhi said to Xu Yunduo: "But your dream is to carry out the dance career to the end. Comrade Xu Yunduo, I admire your persistence in the dance career, but we... have different ways and do not seek each other's plans." Xu Yunduo was
stunned After a while, I understand.
She nodded, and said dejectedly: "I see, thank you Zhi Zhi, I... you explained very clearly, it is indeed me... a little overpowering." Dou Da tears jumped from
Xu Yunduo's eyes Next, she reached out to wipe it away, but she wiped more and more.
Zhizhi sighed inwardly.
Of course she knew that Xu Yunduo's worries were not superfluous.
Even when Zhizhi decided to go to the countryside, she checked a lot of information before choosing Nanling Island; and her family also asked friends nearby to ask about the situation in Nanling, and confirmed that the folk customs here are relatively simple. That's why Zhizhi agreed to come.
Even so, there are still a large number of female educated youths who choose to marry local young men because they cannot bear the hardship.
Xu Yunduo is so beautiful, with such a good figure and such soft body, once he goes to the countryside and stays away from his parents and family, he will be fine if he meets a good person, but it is not sure whether he will be unkind.
Zhizhi looked at the little friends on the island again, everyone frowned, obviously very sympathetic to Xu Yunduo.
Zhi Zhi asked everyone, "Students, comrades, do you... like watching Comrade Xu Yunduo's dance?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
like!
Why don't you like it...
In this era where there is almost no entertainment, it is really a feast for the eyes to see such a wonderful and professional performance just now. Of course, work, study and labor are very important, but who doesn't want to watch some performances in their free time!
Zhizhi looked at Xu Yunduo.
Xu Yunduo obviously didn't realize what Zhizhi meant.
Of course, this is also because she and Zhi Zhi are not yet familiar with each other.
Hong Hehe was warned by Zhi Zhi's eyes just now, but now he dare not say anything.
Gao Tiantian whispered to Xu Yunduo in a considerate and considerate voice: "Yunduo, our Seagull Island no longer recruits educated youths, but Nanling Town is still recruiting educated youths..." "Ah?"
Xu Yunduo was stunned, "Nanling Township ?"
She was stunned for a long time before she finally understood, "Zhizhi, Zhizhi...meaning, although Seagull Island no longer recruits educated youth, I can work as an educated youth in the village near you, right?"
At this time, Tao Rongye, who had not said a word, said seriously: "To be precise, Nanling Island has gradually stopped recruiting educated youth. After all, it is a town with a population of only 20,000, and it has already accepted nearly 4,000. Educated youths, since our class of educated youths, there have not been a large number of educated youths coming here..."
- this is thanks to Tangniang, because Zhi Zhizi led eight educated youths to report to Zhengyi Island. Tang Niang got angry and went to the Nanling Educated Youth Office to make a fuss.
Tang Niang has always been the focus of attention of her superiors.
After she made a fuss, the superiors also realized that there were indeed too many educated youths sent to Nanling, and they were about to change the local population composition of Nanling, so they stopped recruiting educated youths.
Xu Yunduo's mood at this moment is like a kite struggling to survive in a storm.
--from explaining her motives to Zhizhi and everyone hopefully-to Zhizhi declaring her hope shattered-to Zhizhi giving her a glimmer of hope-and then being drowned out by Tao Rongye's pot of cold water Hope sparks.
Xu Yunduo cried bitterly.
Fu Mingyu was a little impatient, "Why are you crying? Can crying solve the problem? It's so annoying... You don't even think about it, what does Zhizhi do!" Hong Hehe asked stupidly, "What is Zhizhi doing
? What?"
Fu Mingyu glared at Hong Hehe, pointed at Xu Yunduo, and asked Hong Hehe, "Did you get too close to this stupid girl recently, and your IQ has been polluted? Zhizhi is run by the educated youth in Nanling Town Deputy director! Recruiting educated youth is her job!"
Hong Hehe suddenly realized, and then retorted, "Fu Mingyu, you are a big fool, hum!"
Xu Yunduo fell into a daze for a moment.
A big tear trickled down from the corner of her eye, and fell down her face with a bang.
She sniffed, and asked Zhizhi cautiously, "Zhizhi, can I...?"
Xu Yunduo didn't dare to hold on to hope.
She was afraid of being like the previous two times, where she would bear as much blow as she hoped. Zhizhi smiled and said, "Well, let me make an appointment with you... Your current establishment is in the Capital Song and Dance Troupe, right? Please tell me the address of the contact point of the Educated Youth Office in the territory of your workplace. Within the agreed time between the two of you, send a designated quota to the Educated Youth Office of your workplace."
"In this way, if the targeted quota does not fall to your unit, it will not be replaced by other people from your unit. But after you go back, you will go to the educated youth office on your side every day to stay! Especially, ah, You have to establish a good relationship with the educated youth office, lest after I send the targeted quota, they will stop your quota and replace it with someone else... When the other person arrives, they will reply to me and say they can't find you... ... I am thousands of miles away and I have no way to deal with your affairs, Xu Yunduo, do you understand what I mean?" Zhi Zhi asked.
Xu Yunduo nodded ignorantly, with an expression of disbelief still on his face.
Zhizhi explained: "Our living standard in Nanling is quite good compared to the whole country. A few years ago, it was a popular voluntary place for educated youth to go to the countryside. Just like what Rong Ye said, in recent years we have The recruitment quota will not be issued, but once it is sent out, it will be robbed."
Xu Yunduo nodded desperately, "Okay! Okay...I listen to you!" Then she cried, "I dare not Believe this is true..."
Zhizhi reminded her again, "Even if you come to Nanling, you don't come to our place...you go to another production team to jump in."
Xu Yunduo cried: "You are not from Nanling Town Is it the leader? You are such a nice person, the people here are not too bad! I'm sorry I'm so excited now..."
In fact, Zhizhi is not too worried about this.
As long as Xu Yunduo can stop at the Educated Youth Office in the territory of her workplace in Kyoto and get this directional indicator, she can come to Nanling Island. And as long as she came to Nanling Island, she would go to a large team to a large extent.
Now Tao Rongye is the acting production team leader of a large team.
Tao Rongye can still restrain the villagers from bullying the female educated youths.
Zhizhi said: "Papa Li and Mama Jiang set off on the fifth day of the new year, and you can go back with them. During these five days, you can think carefully. You can even ask Hehe to take you to other births. It's also okay to take a stroll in the team and take a look at the customs here."
Xu Yunduo cried badly.
She bowed deeply to Zhi Zhi, then ran out of the cafeteria crying, leaning against the wall and weeping until she completely calmed down... Then she walked into the cafeteria slowly.
At this time, the cafeteria was already caught in another wave of riots.
--Father Li talked about how he, as a recruit during the anti-Japanese period, was trapped by the enemy in the valley with the chief for seven or eight days, sleepy, hungry and tired, how he found an opportunity to break through the blockade, and finally The whole team broke out unscathed, and finally went north to find the lost main force.
Xu Yunduo was as enthralled as everyone else.
Even Li Shu was fascinated by it.
His father was busy with his career, and he followed his mother when he was a child, and he was not close to his father... Later, when the family of three was together, he had grown up and no longer loved his father as much as he did when he was a child. So even he hadn't heard his father talk about this experience, and now he heard about Fascinated, and suddenly found a peeled and fried peanut in his mouth out of thin air?
He opened his mouth to eat, and the bite was crunchy and delicious!
Just like that, Li Shu ate peanuts while listening to his father telling a story... It wasn't
until his father finished telling the story that Li Shu realized that it was Zhizhi who slowly peeled the shelled peanuts to feed him?
Li Shu smirked.
Chapter 273
On New Year's Eve, before the end of the New Year's Eve, Ms. Jiang and Li's father distributed lucky money to Zhi Zhi and Li Shu.
Zhizhi didn't intend to ask for it, "Papa Li, Mama Jiang, I'm already an adult, so I can't ask for new year's money anymore." Ms. Jiang
said, "How old are you? It's not enough for the initials!"
In my eyes, even if you are eighty years old, you are still a child!"
Li Shu said confidently, "Zhi Zhi, take it, we will use this money to go to a restaurant later!"
Zhi Zhi: ...
I can't beat Li Shi Due to the enthusiasm of the couple, she finally accepted the New Year's money.
Before everyone went back to each room, Li Shu also sneakily took out a lot of things, and quickly stuffed them into Zhi Zhi's arms.
Before Zhi Zhi had time to see clearly, before he had time to refuse, Li Shu had already run away, "Zhi Zhi, see you at the pier tomorrow morning!"
Zhi Zhi was in a hurry, "Li Shu-"
She hurried to chase.
The Li family saw sharply that their silly son actually gave Zhi Zhi the red envelope they just handed him?
The couple exchanged a look, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Father Li was very pleased: he loves his wife so much, it can be seen that he really wants to get married.
Ms. Jiang couldn't help but be happy: It's good to get married early and have children early. I'll take care of them, and they can work with peace of mind
. Go upstairs and go back to your room lightly.
Zhi Zhi ran after Li Shu for a few steps.
How can she catch up with him!
In the end, she looked at his retreating back, and reluctantly returned to the room with her things.
A candle was lit, and the not-so-bright light illuminated her small room warmly and lovely.
Zhizhi closed the door, sat on the bamboo mat, and spread all the gifts she received today on the floor.
There is a red envelope given to her by the Li family.
Zhizhi opened it and looked at it. In each red envelope, there were two cards of Great Unity?
That's forty dollars in total!
There is also a large bag of headbands that Li Shu gave her, and... three red envelopes he stuffed into her.
The styles of two of the red envelopes were exactly the same as those given to her by his parents.
--In this era, there are no printed red envelopes that are full of tricks in later generations. When it comes to Chinese New Year, festivals or weddings, people all use red paper to cut into small pieces, and then fold out a red envelope.
That's why Zhi Zhi could recognize it.
Then...
Li Shu didn't even open the red envelope that his parents gave her, and just gave it to her?
Zhi Zhi thought for a while, opened the two red envelopes, and found that there was a card of Great Unity inside each.
? ? ?
Why did Li's parents put more money in her red envelope than what they gave to Li Shu?
Zhizhi held the red envelope and couldn't help laughing.
In the end, Zhizhi took again...the red envelope should be made by Li Shu himself, and he measured it first.
Well, a thick and heavy letter.
This red envelope was actually a kraft envelope, on which he glued a piece of red paper.
Zhizhi opened the envelope and took a look -
inside was a pile of colorful banknotes of various denominations? !
A few bank deposit certificates,
a string of long and thin paper stapled together?
Zhizhi counted it, and there were about a dozen pieces of Da Tuan in cash, plus some other small notes, it was about 200 yuan.
Zhizhi still has a better understanding of Li Shu's growth experience in the army.
He is three years older than Zhi Zhi, and he joined the army when he graduated from high school at the age of eighteen, and it has been six years now. Generally, in the first three years of joining the army, the wages are pitifully low, about 20 yuan a month, which is less than the workers in the factory. Li Shu has a big appetite, and he is always half-starved, and he has to go to restaurants to improve his food on rest days... Presumably, he didn't save much money during the first two years as a soldier.
After serving as a soldier for two years, Li Shu was promoted and selected into the special forces by virtue of his status as the champion of the two-year martial arts competition. His salary should have risen since then. The general deputy platoon salary is about 50 yuan. He is the trump card in the special forces, and he has more opportunities to travel. It was around this time that Li Shu began to save money.
Zhizhi took those deposit certificates again.
There are five cards in total, one for each year, and the deposit date is at the beginning of each year.
It should be from when he joined the army, he got his salary, and went to the bank to save it after the Chinese New Year.
The deposit amount in the first year is 30 yuan, 50 yuan in the second year, 220 yuan in the third year, 350 yuan in the fourth year, 320 yuan in the fifth year, and 320 yuan in the sixth year...
Zhizhi looked at the banknotes again.
So in the sixth year after Li Shu started working, that is, last year, after deducting the expenses for the whole year, Li Shu still had more than 200 yuan left?
Then why did he earn so much in the fourth and fifth years? Instead, the remaining money in the sixth year is still less?
As soon as this question came to mind, Zhizhi patted herself on the forehead.
--It should be that in the third and fourth years of joining the army, he handled more special tasks, traveled more, and may have received special subsidies and bonuses, which made his income soar. By the fifth year, he had already come to Nanling, but his income was still quite a lot, which should be what he earned in the first year. In the sixth year, the income dropped sharply because there were no more special missions.
One thing to say, Li Shu is still very good at saving money. He is twenty-four years old this year, and he has earned more than a thousand yuan in just six years of joining the army! This also proves that he has no other hobbies for burning money other than eating out to improve food.
Zhi Zhi took the string of long and thin paper strips that had been stapled with the stapler.
Take a closer look, are they all salary slips and signed receipts? !
Seeing all this, Zhizhi couldn't help laughing.
So as soon as Li Shu established a relationship with her, he... voluntarily handed over all his salary and property?
How silly!
Zhi Zhi smiled and packed everything up, then took a washbasin and a towel and went downstairs to wash up.
She didn't even realize it herself, she kept smiling and humming the song involuntarily during the whole process.
The next day is the first day of the new year.
Li Shu, who was wearing casual clothes, pushed the boat and took his parents and Zhizhi to the town.
Originally, Zhizhi wanted to go boating with Li Shu, but Li's father looked eager to try... Ms. Jiang asked Zhizhi to accompany her on the boat, and asked her husband and son to go on the boat.
Ms. Jiang is still a little seasick.
In order to divert her attention, she chatted with Zhizhi. Seeing that the two braids that Zhizhi tied today are different from the ones the day before yesterday... today's braids are obviously much prettier, and there are two small braids on the temples, tied with beautiful hair ties?
--The hair rope is wrapped with bright yellow and light purple wool, and it is decorated with a pair of delicate cherries with red fruits and green leaves woven with wool rope!
It matched the clothes Zhi Zhi wore today very well.
Zhizhi is wearing a white shirt with small red flowers today, a light purple cardigan sweater with bright yellow borders on the outside, and a gray-green wooden ear crossbody bag that she hand-stitched on her back.
It really looks good no matter how you look at it!
"Zhizhi, your braids are so beautiful!" Ms. Jiang praised, "...especially this hair rope, why does it suit you so well?" Zhizhi subconsciously grabbed the end of
her braids and couldn't help it He glanced at Li Shu.
--The hair rope she tied today was picked from the big bag of hair rope that Li Shu gave her!
It's hard for him to think about it, he still remembers the color matching of her usual clothes, so the hair rope he made by himself is very useful, just pick out the hair rope that is similar to her clothes and tie it on whatever clothes you are wearing today.
Zhi Zhi looked at Li Shu.
Li Shu was also turning his head to look at Zhi Zhi.
He also heard his mother's words, and only glanced at the ends of her braids, and he blushed.
Turning his head to the side...
After a while, he couldn't help but secretly turned back to look at Zhizhi again, and smirked...
Lowered his head, smiled secretly again, and then couldn't help but secretly glanced at Zhizhi again...
Zhizhi was originally it's nothing.
The one brought by Li Shu finally bowed his head with red face and stopped talking.
Ms. Jiang saw Zhizhi with a filter, and immediately praised Zhizhi from head to toe, and then from foot to head. The more she looked at this future daughter-in-law, the more she liked it!
Today is the day when Zhi Zhi made an appointment with her family and talked on the phone.
When they arrived in the town, Li Shu first sent Zhizhi to queue at the post office, while he led his parents around the town.
Zhi Zhi waited for a long time, and finally got on the phone with her family.
--The family situation is not bad. What makes the family happy is that this year, 2071 is the third year that Zhizhi has been sent to the countryside. It will be three years in August! So at the end of the year, Zhi Zhi can take home leave to go home.
Zhizhi took turns talking on the phone with everyone in the family for a while.
She was very afraid that her family would report good news to her but not bad news...
So when talking on the phone with Pengpeng, Zhizhi specifically asked, "Fourth sister, are the family members doing well now?"
Pengpeng's hearty laughter came from the microphone, "Don't worry, the family is It's really good... If you don't believe me, you will be back at the end of the year... You can see for yourself! By the way, Zhizhi, I have learned a lot of cooking skills. When you come back, I will do the same for you You eat..."
Zhi Zhi finally relaxed, and said with a smile, "Okay!"
The family's phone circled around, and finally returned to her mother Ying Yushi's hand.
Seeing that there was about half a minute left in the time, Zhi Zhi said to her mother: "Mom, Li Shu's parents came to celebrate the New Year with us..."
Ying Yu suddenly became nervous, "How is it? Last year you The godmother also came home, and mentioned that Nianzhi's child was staying on the same island as you! Zhizhi, why didn't you tell me earlier!" "
I didn't know at the time," Zhizhi said with a blushing face, "...Mainly because I didn't recognize him, he was dark and fat before..."
"Then what does he look like now?" Ying Yushi asked.
Just such a simple sentence...
Zhi Zhi couldn't answer, "He, he..."
Of course Li Shu was tall and handsome.
But the way he looked at her was so intense that Zhizhi usually didn't dare to look him in the eye. Now mother asked what he looked like? Whenever she thinks of it, it's his eyes full of strong love, his whole body full of aggressiveness and tenderness carefully concealed... For a moment,
Zhi Zhi's heart was beating wildly, and she couldn't say a word .
When it rains, I understand.
--She just asked the boy what he looked like, but the daughter couldn't speak, it must be because of shyness! In addition, Xiao Jiang came to the house to propose marriage in person last year, and now the couple are still rushing to Nanling...
Ying Yushi asked: "Zhi Zhi, tell mom honestly, are you in love with Nian?
"
Ying Yu immediately laughed out loud.
Zhi Zhi's face turned red all of a sudden.
Ying Yu said seriously: "Zhizhi, your father and I have no objection to the person you are reading to. But we must be a clean girl... You have always been very obedient and know what mother means. , right?"
In fact, she still wanted to give some detailed instructions.
But her husband, son, and grandchildren were all together, and she couldn't say anything that was too explicit.
In the end, I could only say: "In short, let's date him. Don't spend his money. You can spend as much as he spends. If you don't have enough money... Mom will send you the money!" "Mom, I have money myself.
" , I have a monthly salary of 40 yuan!" Zhizhi said.
Ying Yushi explained again: "And then there is the matter of your marriage, no matter how he mentions it, you can't agree to it! This is especially important... You have to let your parents handle this matter for you, you know?"
" I know mom." Zhi Zhi said.
Seeing that half a minute was up, Zhizhi hurriedly said to her mother: "Mom, I will write to you again to discuss the time for me to go home and visit relatives... Oh, five minutes is almost up, Mom, let me say my best wishes to you and your family again." Happy New Year, Dad, I wish you all good health..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the call was cut off.
There was a beeping sound from the phone...
Zhizhi hung up the phone, and walked out of the post office with a smile on her face.
Li Shu and his parents were waiting at the gate of the post office.
Seeing Zhizhi coming out, Ms. Jiang rushed forward to meet her and asked with concern: "Zhizhi, did your mother curse anyone?"
Zhizhi burst out laughing, shook her head, looked at Li Shu again, and said blushingly, "Let's take a picture later, my mother doesn't remember what you look like anymore.
" Forgive your eyes!
The Li family immediately understood that the parents of the other family should not object to this young couple getting along.
For a moment, Li Shu smirked, unable to close his mouth.
Father Li was also very happy and patted his son on the shoulder.
Ms. Jiang was especially happy, because when she went to another family to propose a marriage last year (in fact, she was formally soliciting the opinions of other parents and asking her stupid son if he could pursue Zhizhi), she was shot and beaten by Ms. Ying. Pause...
Looking back now, what Eldest Sister Ying said at the time was not wrong.
"We respect Zhizhi's opinion. We parents certainly agree with Zhizhi's willingness to reconcile with whomever he wants. If Zhizhi disagrees...then we must listen to the child's opinion." Ms. Jiang was overjoyed and
pulled Holding Zhizhi's hand, he said, "Let's go, let's go to the supply and marketing agency! Today, we Zhizhi can buy whatever we want! After visiting the supply and marketing agency, we will go to the restaurant! After a good meal, we will Go to the movies again..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ms. Jiang was taken away by her husband.
Of course, Zhi Zhi was also pulled away by Li Shu.
Ms. Jiang was a little impatient and wanted to throw the man's hand away; then her man growled at her, "The daughter-in-law belongs to the son, why are you joining in the fun?"
Ms. Jiang was taken aback.
Look again, my silly son has already taken Zhizhi's hand and walked to the front of the old man.
It's true that the man is tall and thin, and the woman is petite and exquisite...
Hey, it looks good no matter how you look at it! No matter how you look at it, it fits well!
Chapter 274
Zhi Zhi was pulled into the supply and marketing cooperative by Li Shu.
Before going out this time, Li Shi and his wife specially exchanged the national currency notes.
Li Shu had already handed over all the money to Zhi Zhi, but now he was surrounded by two Gods of Wealth, and he didn't even bat an eye when he bought things.
Li Shu bought himself four shirts, a black and white short-sleeved shirt, a black and white long-sleeved shirt, two black trousers, and a pair of new leather shoes; A long-sleeved shirt, a pair of blue plaid trousers, two pairs of pull-back canvas shoes, one black and one white, a pair of leather shoes and a dozen pure cotton white socks... Apart from these, Li
Shu tore another six or seven pieces of floral cloth, and bought pink , bright orange, light blue, light yellow, light green wool...
Zhizhi remained silent throughout the process.
However, she still somewhat understood why Li Shu bought so many clothes for himself - was it because of that kiss last night?
She... kissed him lightly, but he quit, saying that he would do it all over again, so scared that she hurriedly used his clothes to talk about it.
So he came to buy clothes today.
Did he think that he could just put on casual clothes...
Thinking of this, Zhizhi's face turned red again.
It's really unexpected that he is usually so tough, but his lips are so soft. And his breath... is better than she imagined, refreshing.
On the other side, Ms. Jiang was also a little unhappy. She pulled her son aside and said with a serious face: "Fool, I'm here to buy for your daughter-in-law today. Why do you buy so much? It's cheaper than you There are more daughters-in-law!"
Li Shu was surprised, "It's obvious that she has more than mine!"
Ms. Jiang was also stunned, and after a long while, she angrily pointed her fingers to show her son, "You have four coats with two coats. One pair of pants, one pair of shoes, so that's seven pieces, right? Your wife has two coats, one pair of pants, and three pairs of shoes... Isn't that six? Less than you, right?"
Li Shu said: "The printed cloth and wool don't count?"
Ms. Jiang was stunned.
Li Shu said: "I am a man, and I usually wear military uniforms. I can wear these casual clothes casually on days off, but she is a girl... where can I be casual?" "Clothes that can be bought in supply and marketing
cooperatives Who doesn't have it? So her two coats are not counted. At most, when she needs to wear two coats like this, let them be worn inside as a base... Then I bought these floral cloths and gave them to her, Let her make it into a skirt by herself...then these woolen yarns..."
At this point, Li Shu said in a low voice: "Mom, don't say anything, I plan to use these woolen yarns to knit some sweaters for her."
--Jiang Ladies are masters at sweater knitting and love to study this too. Li Shu grew up with his mother, and he knows how to knit sweaters.
Before he was ten years old, the sweaters he wove, outsiders could not tell whether he wove them or his mother wove them. After I was ten years old, I moved out of Matsushi and went to Kyoto, and then I became unfamiliar because I was gradually busy with study and work.
A few days ago when he was helping Zhizhi wrap her hair rope, he regained some feeling, so he decided to buy wool and go back, and quietly hide from others to knit a few sweaters for Zhizhi, and give Zhizhi some surprises next year.
Ms. Jiang's face turned pale, "It's still you who are thoughtful! Well, speaking of which, I also collected a few pieces of beautiful floral fabrics in Kyoto, and I didn't think of giving them to Zhizhi this time. When I go back, I'll send it to you again!"
Li Shu nodded naturally, "Okay!"
Ms. Jiang thought about it again, and said, "Why don't I knit the same sweater for both of you when I go back, and then send it to you , you two wear it together when you go out in winter, you look like a young couple!"
Li Shu was very happy, "Good! Mom, then you knit two woolen vests and two pullover sweaters, which should be thinner. Son, it's hot in Seagull Island, so I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it."
"Don't worry, wrap it on me!" Ms. Jiang patted her chest proudly.
Li Shu passed by again, and continued to accompany Zhi Zhi to buy, buy, buy.
In fact, Zhizhi didn't want to buy anything.
She has money herself, and often needs to work in the educated youth office in the town. It is very convenient for her to come to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. But today, she came to the supply and marketing cooperative with his parents, and his parents had to pay for the things she chose.
Zhizhi didn't want to do that.
Just now her mother said on the phone that even if she falls in love with Li Shu, she won't let her spend his money.
But after Li Shu finished picking out clothes, fabrics, and wool, he took her to the daily chemical counter to buy soap, balm, and the like.
Zhizhi couldn't bear it any longer, and said softly to Li Shu: "Buy some special products for your parents to take home today! I will buy my things myself in the future, and I don't want to spend your parents' money..."
" Just buy it today," Li Shu said, "don't be shy, my father's salary of more than two hundred yuan a month, so what's the matter with spending some money for his son and daughter-in-law? Don't refuse the kindness of the elders, especially in this year. Under the festival!"
"But..."
Li Shu interrupted Zhizhi's words, "Don't worry, you can't settle accounts with them, if you want to settle accounts with me, then let's go shopping... Hey, here is Vaseline ointment, and Dingjing pearl powder? Zhizhi Zhi, I remember that your mother used to use Vaseline ointment mixed with pearl powder to wipe her face and hands, does it have any special effect?" Li Shu found several boxes of "Ding Jing Pearl
Powder" on the counter, and couldn't help but Very surprised, asked Zhizhi.
Zhizhi also saw it.
Those few boxes of Dingjing pearl powder are taken orally, and the effect is to treat constipation and improve sleep.
I just don't know how this kind of health care product is classified into the daily chemical cabinet.
Li Shu asked the salesperson to bring out a box of pearl powder, looked at the formula of pearl powder, and saw the words on the box: [
Ingredients: pure freshwater pearl powder, without any other additions]
[Efficacy: clearing heat and detoxifying, improving sleep, conditioning Gastrointestinal]
[Dosage: 3 times a day, 3 grams each time, take with water after meals]
[Validity: three years]
Li Shu unceremoniously swept away all the three boxes of pearl powder left on the counter, and He bought a large bottle of 500ml Vaseline ointment, a dozen jasmine-scented soaps, four or five bags of washing powder, and half a dozen LMZ toothpaste... Finally,
he dragged Zhizhi to buy pastries.
Zhi Zhi was a little unhappy at first, but in the end she simply bought some snacks in a broken jar, and started eating with Ms. Jiang arm in arm.
Li Shu took his father to pay the bills one by one, after calculation, it cost more than 200 yuan!
However, both father and son seemed indifferent...
After Li's father finished paying the bill, he directly stuffed all the remaining bills and money to his son. Li Shu was not polite either, he took all of them and put them all in his pocket.
Coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Shu took his father first, and the father and son went to the military camp carrying the big and small bags bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. The things are temporarily stored in the barracks.
Then Li Shu took his father to find Battalion Commander Sun.
Only now did Battalion Commander Sun know that Li Shu's father was actually the Chief of Staff of the Kyoto Military Region?
He was startled, and quickly exchanged greetings with Li's father, and heard that Li's father came this time because of Li Shu's date... After some more inquiry, it turns out that Li Shu's date is Bie Zhizhi from Seagull Island?
Battalion Commander Sun hurriedly chatted with Li's father about Li Shu's performance in the past two years, and said that Bie Zhizhi is such a good young girl, and Li Shu and Li Shu are a match made in heaven... We chatted for a
while Only then did Father Li bid farewell to Battalion Commander Sun, and came out again with his son.
Next, Li Shu led his parents and Zhi Zhi to a restaurant.
There is only one state-run hotel in Nanling Town.
Because the town is not big, and the state-run restaurant is not big, there can only be ten tables in total. In addition, for Chinese New Year, everyone has the habit of hoarding goods, and not many people go to state-run restaurants to eat on New Year's Day.
Because Li Shu often eats out, all the waiters in the state-run restaurants know him, and his attitude is relatively good.
Li Shu often came here to eat, and he knew which dishes were delicious, so he ordered four dishes with meat, and ordered half-vegetarian and full-vegetarian dishes, plus a soup.
The waiter went to place the order with a smile on his face, and then asked him, "Xiao Li, should I just use the soup bowl to refill you with two bowls of rice?" Li Shu said, "
Just serve a pot of rice!"
The waiter responded, and sure enough Bring the rice cooker over directly.
Ms. Jiang was a little embarrassed, and quickly said to Zhizhi: "Zhizhi, the two of them... mainly because military training consumes a lot of energy, so they eat a lot." Zhizhi nodded, "I know
.
" In the meantime, Li Shu took all the four sets of bowls and chopsticks brought by the waiter aside, heated all the bowls and chopsticks at the box-type hot water machine, and brought them back again.
Ms. Jiang stared at the hot and clean bowls and chopsticks washed by her son, and teased: "You are quite particular!"
Li Shu said: "There is nothing you can do if you are not particular, Zhizhi likes to be clean. I used to go out to eat with her She has to bring her own lunch box...otherwise, she has to wash the bowls and chopsticks with boiling water."
Zhi Zhi hurriedly explained: "Mother Jiang, it's because my mother said that hepatitis and pneumonia are epidemics now. If you often eat out, you'd better be careful."
Ms. Jiang nodded repeatedly, "Okay! This is the best!" Then she turned her head and taught her son, "In the future, you should listen to Zhizhi more..." "You will give me your
life She!" Li Shu said with a smile on his face.
It was served in a short while.
Li Shu ran to the window and brought over dishes such as braised pork with potatoes, stewed chicken with mushrooms, twice-cooked pork with double pepper, and braised pork ribs... The waiter helped him to serve him stir-fried Chinese cabbage, minced pork with winter bamboo shoots, and seaweed egg drop soup. Bring it over.
dinner time.
However, when the meal was ready, Li's father didn't eat much. He took the rice with his chopsticks and counted grains one by one...
Li Shu quickly added a bowl of clear soup to the bowl, and then-first put a few slices of twice-cooked pork Dip it into the clear soup, and then take a few pieces of lean braised pork with the clear soup to wash off the oily spots on the surface, and then pile it in Zhizhi's bowl. Wait until the twice-cooked meat at the bottom of the bowl is soaked for a minute or two before picking it up... This can eliminate the spicy taste of the meat slices, and finally all are piled into the Zhizhi bowl.
A bowl of clear soup topped with braised pork and sliced pork with double peppers quickly becomes greasy.
Li Shu drank the oily soup straight away, then scooped up some chicken soup from stewed chicken with mushrooms, and poured all the thick oil slick on the surface into his father's rice bowl.
Father Li:? ? ?
Then Li Shu put a bowl of clear, oil-free chicken soup in front of Zhizhi.
Only then did the Li family understand.
Li's father said to Ms. Jiang: "My daughter-in-law's taste is very light. Let's remember this in the future." Twice.
Zhi Zhi blushed.
Li Shu was busy and helped Zhi Zhi wash a lot of dishes...
Later Zhi Zhi protected her bowl, "No more, I have enough to eat!"
Li Shu still helped her wash a few more dishes New braised potatoes, that's all.
Then comes the real meal.
I saw that Li's father and son began to hold bowls and eat vegetables like wind and clouds...
However, they ate a lot of rice, but the dishes basically didn't move. Oil sauce to fish rice.
Zhizhi has a light taste, and she only eats meat dishes that Li Shu washed for her. She also eats stir-fried Chinese cabbage and bamboo shoots with minced meat, but she never wants to touch the plate of the four meat dishes... Ms. Jiang seems to like it very
much Stir-fried winter bamboo shoots with minced meat...
After a while, Zhizhi and Ms. Jiang each ate a bowl of rice and a lot of dishes, and they were full.
Li's father and son saw the two of them put down their chopsticks, and asked them again and again if they wanted to eat... It was true that they were full, so they started to eat like crazy.
A pot full of rice, except for Zhizhi and Ms. Jiang who added a bowl of rice...at least enough for four or five strong men, but in the end, they were all eaten up by Li and his son!
Let's look at the dishes again -
the four big plates with meat and juices were dipped clean by the rice, and now they are radiant.
There are only two or three leaves left in the stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and a few winter bamboo shoots left in the fried bamboo shoots...
Ms. Jiang pointed to the two plates and ordered the men, "Eat it! Don't waste it."
Li's father and son obediently ate the last few vegetable leaves and winter bamboo shoots.
Father Li rubbed his belly comfortably, "It's been a long time since I've eaten so full... Last night's New Year's Eve dinner, and today's meal... It's so good!"
Li Shu also had a satisfied expression on his face, "It would be nice if Zhizhi and I could start a business by ourselves on weekends. We can't get enough to eat at work, but eating outside is too greasy, and Zhizhi can't eat well..." Ms. Jiang asked, "What about that?
" Do you want to transfer the two of you back to Kyoto?"
That's what she asked.
In fact, in her opinion, it would not be good for the young couple to return to Beijing-the family compound of the Kyoto Military Region is far away from the barracks, and the men don't go home every day. Even on weekends, I have to rotate, and I can go home about twice a month.
If Zhi Zhi and Li Shu were transferred back to Beijing, Zhi Zhi would be able to keep her company, but Li Shu would definitely follow in Lao Li's footsteps... In all honesty, Ms. Jiang still hopes that the young couple can spend more time together .
Look, how wonderful it is for the young couple to be on Seagull Island now. The island is not very big. One of them lives at the foot of the mountain, and the other lives halfway up the mountain.
Before Zhizhi expressed his opinion, Li Shu said: "I won't return! We are fine now..." The
key is that Zhizhi's wish is to farm with science and technology, and she has already managed it to the present level, seeing everything She was about to get on the right track, and she would definitely be reluctant to leave Seagull Island at this time.
He didn't want her to make such a difficult choice either.
Zhi Zhi blushed, and said in a low voice, "Justice Island is already building a couple's house."
The Li family were all stunned, and then burst out laughing.
Father Li, "If you think about it, you will be in Zhizhi's light!"
Ms. Jiang said, "That's it! New women in the new era, we want women to sing and husbands to follow!"
Li Shu grinned and smiled foolishly.
After lunch, the four of them went to the movie theater in the town.
During the Chinese New Year, service industries are still open for business, such as post offices, supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned restaurants, and movie theaters.
But the movie...
or the three tricks.
--There are only three films: "Liu Sanjie", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and "Heroes and Daughters".
The right to choose was handed over to Zhizhi.
In fact, Zhizhi has already watched all three movies...
In the end, Zhizhi chose the heroes.
Because this movie is about to be released.
This is an indoor movie theater that can seat about 200 people.
There are still quite a few people watching movies today, most of them are educated youths, and they can fill up about half of the venue.
Li Shu first went with his parents and Zhi Zhi to occupy a seat at the front, and then went out to buy snacks under the pretext of going out. He went in again three minutes before the movie was about to be played, and first took the few packets of fried food he had twisted in his hand. The melon seeds and fried chestnuts were handed to his mother...
then she winked at Zhizhi, meaning "come with me"?
Zhizhi didn't understand, so she thought something happened, so she stood up and was held by him... until she walked to the last row and the corner.
Li Shu said to Zhizhi again: "Wait here, I forgot to tell my mother about something just now. I'll go over and explain to you and I'll be back." Zhizhi didn't say a word
.
Li Shu quickly walked back to his parents...
At this time, the opening song of the movie had already played.
Li Shu bowed his ear and said to his mother: "Mom, Zhi Zhi and I will sit in the back row. After the movie ends, we will wait outside!"
Ms. Jiang looked back, and it turned out that Zhi Zhi was sitting in the row behind her. Already gone?
Could she still not know what the silly son was planning?
"Let me tell you, Li Nianzhi, don't bully Zhi Zhi too much... If you make her cry and scare her away, I will have a score with you!" Ms. Jiang said fiercely.
"Understood!" Saying that, Li Shu left in a hurry.
Li Shu hurriedly walked towards Zhizhi again--
the cinema staff stood at the entrance and exited, shook Li Shu a few times with a flashlight, and then shouted with a loudspeaker, "Comrades who enter to watch the movie please abide by the discipline, don't Walk around, don't make too much noise!"
Li Shu waved to the staff, the cat lowered his waist and walked quickly to Zhi Zhi's side, and sat down.
Zhi Zhi leaned over and asked him, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Li Shu's whole body was stiff.
At this point, the prologue of the movie has begun.
Li Shu looked at all directions and listened to all directions...
He was sure, sure and sure, no one noticed him and Zhizhi sitting in the last row.
Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Zhizhi couldn't help being even more surprised, she leaned closer and whispered into his ear, "Li Shu, what happened?"
Li Shu suppressed the madly beating heart under his chest.
He finally turned his head slowly and looked at Zhizhi.
In the darkness, the flickering light made Zhizhi's beautiful face unclear, but she was looking at him with concern with a pair of beautiful almond eyes, the eyes were watery, and the lips were full and moist.
Li Shu warned himself not to think too much.
Especially -
don't be afraid.
He stared at her blankly for a while, then leaned over and sucked her petals.
Zhi Zhi froze.
Yesterday she called... just swept it away.
In fact, it was forced to be helpless.
But today-
she couldn't escape.
Someone doesn't know how to kiss.
He is extremely cruel!
She doesn't know how to retract her teeth, doesn't know how to swallow her saliva, she just behaves indiscriminately...
Zhizhi's tears flowed from the pain.
She struggled desperately...
but when she moved, he would hold her down even more eagerly like a dog that had lost its meat, and would continue to gnaw her harder!
Zhizhi was almost pissed off by Li Shu.
This guy! If you don't know how to kiss, don't really chew! And when she moved, he thought she wanted to run, and the strength of her hands and mouth became even greater! ! !
But what counts as a kiss...
She doesn't know either.
She had never even talked about love before.
However, she had watched a lot of TV and movies before.
In desperation, Zhi Zhi tried her best to respond to the past.
Sure enough, once Li Shu realized that Zhi Zhi was responding to him, he was stunned, his whole body was extremely stiff.
He didn't move.
Even breathing stopped.
Zhi Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, and cautiously used her tenderness, lightness, youthful initiative, and took the time to complain to him in a low voice, "Li Shu, just now... you bit me so painfully!" The girl blamed delicately
, Teach him to tremble.
Li Shu didn't say a word, but hugged her tightly.
He didn't speak because he was too excited to speak at all.
After a long time, Li Shu's breathing became short again.
He finally came back to his senses, and imitated her way just now...be gentle.
The whole movie is two and a half hours.
Li Shu wished that Zhi Zhi would stick to him the whole time -
Zhi Zhi desperately refused to do so.
"My lips are swollen from you biting me!" She said tearfully, "If Mama Jiang finds out that my mouth is swollen at the end of the show... I can't stop talking to you!" Li Shu wanted to go there several
times kiss her.
She beat her hard a few times...
not too hard.
Okay, so she might actually be a little pissed off.
Li Shu still had a lot to say, but he still didn't dare to provoke Zhizhi.
Although the plot of the movie is really exciting, Li Shu's attention is all on Zhizhi. Since she won't let her kiss, then...
Hey, Zhi Zhi's hands are so soft and thin, soft and boneless! Although she also had calluses on the palms of her hands, the skin on the back of her hands was really smooth and tender.
Li Shu played with Zhi Zhi's hand.
He compared his big hand with Zhi Zhi's small hand for a while, and then compared the thickness of his fingers, and asked her to clenched her fist, and he used his big hand to wrap her slender fist... It was a lot of fun.
Unknowingly, two and a half hours passed -
the movie ended, and the lights in the venue were brightly lit.
Only then did Li Shu froze, wondering why the two and a half hours had come so suddenly?
Then, he saw Zhizhi's half-smile expression.
"Li Shu, my hand...is it fun?" Zhizhi squinted her eyes and asked Li Shu word by word.
Li Shu hurriedly returned her hand pitifully, and replied very seriously, "It's fun...Zhizhi, do you want...to play with my hand too?" Then he stretched out his big hand towards her.
"Bah!" Zhizhi spat at him, blushing all over her face!
Chapter 275
The movie is over.
Zhi Zhi walked out of the movie theater together with Li Shu and Li Shi and his wife.
Ms. Jiang said a few words to her son, but her son just looked at Zhi Zhi stupidly and didn't respond at all. Ms. Jiang couldn't help but follow her son's gaze to Zhi Zhi.
Zhizhi was born to be good-looking, but now she is even more beautiful, with pink face, red lips and rippling eyes...
No wonder her stupid son was dumbfounded by this beautiful girl!
Even she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Zhi Zhi was extremely nervous.
--At the beginning, Li Shu bit her too hard, could it be that her lips were swollen? Or, did she have teeth marks on her lips? ? ?
Otherwise, why are they looking at her like this?
Zhizhi bowed her head and hurried away.
Li Shu automatically chased after him...
Ms. Jiang:? ? ?
She turned to her husband and said, "Look, this means having a wife and forgetting your mother?"
Father Li, "I only have eyes for you, is it okay?"
Ms. Jiang gave her husband a sideways look, her eyes full of smile.
Zhizhi ran to the front, quickly took out a small mirror from her messenger bag, and took a look at her lips, but she didn't find any redness or tooth marks, so she was relieved.
She turned her head to look at Li Shu -
this guy was still looking at her stupidly!
Zhi Zhi scolded, "Li Shu, what are you doing? Didn't you hear what your mother said to you just now?"
Li Shu said "ah" and ran back, "Mom, what did you just say?"
Ms. Jiang hurriedly took revenge, turned her head away with a "hum", and ignored her son.
In the end, I was still afraid of wasting time, so I told my husband, "Old Li, tell him."
Only then did Li's father say: "Your mother asked you just now, are you going to the photo studio now?"
--In the morning, Zhizhi called home, and Zhizhi's mother asked what Nianzhi looked like now.
Just because of Zhi Zhi's mother's words, I have to ask my stupid son to take a photo with Zhi Zhi and send it to Zhi Zhi's mother!
Li Shu nodded quickly, and said flatteringly: "Mom, I'll take a photo with you alone later!" "
Bah! Who cares?" Ms. Jiang snorted, and put her hand on her husband's arm.
Father Li blushed immediately, and instinctively wanted to shake off his wife's hand... Wan Jun looked down all the time, and found that he was not wearing a military uniform, and this was not the capital, so he immediately calmed down again.
Li's father still tore off his wife's hand from his arm, then held her tightly and interlocked his fingers with her.
Ms. Jiang smiled, her face flushed slightly.
The mood that was irritated by his son just now gradually became calm and joyful.
"Lao Li, let's take a group photo of the two of us later. It's been several years." Ms. Jiang said to her husband with a smile without even looking at her son.
Li's father pondered, "They don't know if there are any colored photos here."
The couple regarded Li Shu as air.
Li Shu followed behind embarrassingly.
A group of four people went to the photo studio, only to realize that there are a lot of people who came to take pictures today.
After all, it is the Spring Festival, the first day of the Lunar New Year!
In order to allow everyone to take better photos, the masters of the state-run photo studio specially arranged two exterior scenes in addition to the interior scenes in the photo studio: one is the wharf of
Nanling Town, and the background of the wharf is hundreds of fishing boats. It has the characteristics of islands; one is Banshan Bay, the background is the vast sea, and the island tip of Half Moon Bay is not far away.
Ms. Jiang discussed with Zhi Zhi... Anyway, Father Li was there as a sponsor, and the money was not bad, so there were a total of three indoor and outdoor spots, all of which were photographed!
There were thirty-six negatives for one film roll. Ms. Jiang discussed with the photographer Fu and took eight in the room, and the remaining twenty-eight, and fourteen for each of the two exterior locations.
When taking pictures, Zhi Zhi is willing to take a single photo, a photo with Li Shu, and a photo with Ms. Jiang.
But she was unwilling to take a group photo with the Li family.
Ms. Jiang and Father Li were a little disappointed.
But they also fully respect Zhi Zhi - after all, Zhi Zhi is only dating Nian Zhigang at the moment, it's okay for the couple to take a photo together, but Zhi Zhi hasn't married after all, taking a photo with their family... It's really a bit too much up.
So, four people and a photographer were busy for two hours before finally taking the photos.
It was also sunset time.
Zhizhi took out fried peanuts wrapped in kraft paper from her messenger bag, poured half of it and put it on the photographer's table, thanked the master for taking pictures of them, and asked if he could take pictures within two days Post photos inside.
Photographer Fu said bluntly: "No problem! The main thing is that the entire film is yours. If I don't have to fight with others, I can post it in one night! Why don't you come and get it tomorrow morning! There are few people in the morning. I'll take pictures for everyone without delay."
Zhizhi was overjoyed and thanked the photographer Fu.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Shu rushed over to take the photos and took them back. Everyone excitedly flipped through the photos - Li's family and Zhi Zhi were all handsome men and women, no matter how they were taken, they looked good!
The only fly in the ointment is that Nanling Town is a small place after all, and there are only black and white films, and no color ones can be shot.
At that moment, Zhi Zhi took two single photos of herself, a photo of her with Li Shu, and a photo of her with Ms. Jiang, put them in an envelope, and sent them to her family to see.
Li Shu carefully cut a single photo of Zhizhi and put it in his work card; he also cut a photo of him and Zhi Zhi into a small size and put it in another layer of his work card .
As for Ms. Jiang, she asked for a single photo of Zhi Zhi, a single photo of Li Shu, and a group photo of the young couple, plus a photo of her and her husband... Simple is satisfied!
On the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, the uncles and grandpas on Zhengyi Island were going to go fishing.
Zhi Zhi and Li Shu also took Ms. Jiang and Li's father together.
The result is that-
at the beginning, Ms. Jiang was extremely uncomfortable because of seasickness. And because the fishing place where the uncles and grandpas were fishing was very far away, they left after lunch and kept rocking the boat until after eight o'clock at night, and arrived after it was completely dark... Ms. Jiang got used to it after vomiting
.
When they arrived at the starry place, the Li family was stunned by the beauty in front of them!
The uncles and grandpas laughed strangely, stripping off their clothes and leaving only a pair of underpants, standing on the side of the boat one after another, and then jumping headfirst into the deep sea, diving into the crystal clear seabed with countless luminous plankton floating there.
Li and his wife leaned over the side of the boat and looked down. Through the clear water, they could see the people of Justice Island walking leisurely on the seabed with harpoons.
They got into the bottom of the coral reef for a while, and chased the fish swimming in groups for a while...
After a while, something suddenly fell from the sky, and it happened to fall into the bottom of the boat where Zhizhi was!
As soon as that thing fell to the ground, it was still bouncing around desperately?
Li Shi and his wife were taken aback!
When I took a closer look, it was actually a huge blue flower-footed lobster? ?
I don't know who yelled, "Zhi Zhi, let Xiao Li's parents try the lobster!" Zhi Zhi shouted,
"Thank you uncle!"
He twisted off the lobster head, peeled the shell and pulled out the lobster thread, and then handed the white and moist lobster meat to his parents and Zhizhi. He also had a small piece in his hand.
Zhizhi took the horseradish and salt, and she and Li Shu first demonstrated how to eat the raw lobster meat... The
Li family was stunned.
However, the two of them once ate raw barnacle meat with Zhi Zhi, and it was indeed delicious.
Father Li took the lead to imitate the children, took the shrimp meat and wiped it on the salt brick, then scraped off some powder from the horseradish with a dagger, sprinkled it on the lobster meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed quickly After a few clicks, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Eat quickly! It's delicious!" Li's father said to his wife quickly.
Ms. Jiang quickly followed suit.
The tender and slag-free lobster meat melts in your mouth. The taste of salt and horseradish greatly enhances the deliciousness of the lobster meat. It also comes with a strong fragrance and a touch of milk...it's so delicious
!
One after another, uncles and grandpas came to feed them all kinds of seafood...
Li Shi and his wife followed Zhi Zhi and Li Shu to eat delicious food that they had never tasted before.
Fresh squid, fresh cuttlefish, fresh grouper, fresh conger eel, etc. have different tastes. Some are tender, some are crispy, and some are chewy...
When everyone is full, they lie down in the cabin and look up at the stars.
Ms. Jiang sighed: "A day like this... is really fast!"
Father Li pondered for a long time, and said, "But such happiness, for development... may not be a good thing."
Zhizhi smiled and said: "When we first came, it was true that they... didn't think much of us. But they also watched us build the infrastructure in a short period of time. So in the past two years, uncles and grandpas also want to seek development Already..."
"Okay, good!" Father Li nodded his head.
The trip to the deep sea shocked Li and his wife greatly.
Of course, it has also become a fond memory for them forever.
On the third day of the new year, Li and his wife made up for the rest of the day, because they stayed up late the day before.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Shu brought his parents, Xu Yunduo, Fu Mingyu and Zhi Zhi to Lin City by boat.
--Because the return train tickets for Li Shi and his wife were purchased early in the morning on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they had to arrive one day in advance. Xu Yunduo wanted to go back to Beijing together, Zhi Zhi and Li Shu came to see off the Li family together, and Fu Mingyu went home by boat to visit relatives.
After arriving in Lin City, Fu Mingyu and Zhi Zhi made an appointment for the return trip, greeted the Li family and his wife, and then left on their own.
Zhi Zhi took out the letter of introduction, and opened two rooms in the guest house near the train station - Li Shi and his wife shared one room with Li Shu, and Zhi Zhi and Xu Yunduo shared one room.
In the afternoon, Zhi Zhi and Li Shu took the Li family around Linshi again and bought some local products.
The next day, that is, early in the morning of the fifth day of the new year, Zhi Zhi and Li Shu sent the Li Shi couple and Xu Yunduo to the train station.
There are quite a lot of people in the train station.
Father Li called his son aside, handed all the money left on him to his son, and said in a low voice: "Now we're talking about someone, it's an adult, don't be stingy, be generous to Zhi Zhi, Don't let her be wronged, you know? You keep the money, if it's not enough, call me and I'll send it to you."
"Dad, I have my own money!" Li Shu grabbed the money handed over by his father, Carefully put it away close to the body.
Father Li: ...
Then Father Li asked his son, "How many years are you going to talk about? When will you two get married? If you two get married...will you arrange a job and a house for the two of you in the capital?" Li Shu was a little
speechless , "Dad, I... Zhi Zhi agreed to be with me on the last day of the year, why should we talk about it for two or three years?" Father Li said, "
You idiot! Get married! Want to! Take advantage of it! Early! Before you and Zhi Zhi's careers are fully developed, hurry up and get married and have a child...don't let the child become a stumbling block to your career!"
Li Shu also wanted to get married, but...
"Dad, Zhizhi is only twenty years old!" Li Shu said.
Father Li, "Twenty years old is just right! And you two have a strong relationship! You...try to propose to her next year! I'm not kidding you!" Li Shu was taken aback,
" What's the matter?"
Father Li lowered his voice, "You might have a chance to go to military academy!"
Over there, Ms. Jiang waved to her husband and son.
Li's father immediately said to his son: "In short, you two should arrange to get married as soon as possible... You have to trust your father's judgment on this point, and bravely propose to Zhi Zhi. Because she is too smart, her career will never be inferior to yours! Do you understand?"
Li Shu nodded.
Father Li hurried back to his wife with his son, "What's wrong?"
"The train we're going to take has already entered the station, and we're going to check in soon." Ms. Jiang said.
Saying that, Ms. Jiang hugged Zhizhi, and held Zhizhi's hand again, "Zhizhi, don't be afraid to bother Mama Jiang, if this fool bullies you and dares not listen to you, you can tell Mama Jiang Say, Mama Jiang takes care of him!"
Zhizhi smiled.
Ms. Jiang said meaningfully: "Furthermore, Mother Jiang still has one thing to worry about..."
"What's the matter?" Zhi Zhi asked.
Ms. Jiang asked Zhi Zhi, "When will you be able to call my mother instead of the word Jiang?"
Zhi Zhi blushed.
Li Shu stepped forward and dragged Zhi Zhi behind him, called his mother "Mom, Mom, Mom" more than a hundred times, and asked, "Does it sound good? Have you heard enough?" Xu Yunduo was amused by the
side Haha laughed, and then felt that it was not suitable, and quickly stopped the laughter.
Zhizhi couldn't help laughing.
Ms. Jiang was so angry with her son that she poked her son's forehead fiercely with her finger.
In the end, Li Shi and his wife took the rich souvenirs that Zhi Zhi had prepared for them, bid farewell to Zhi Zhi and Li Shu, and went through the ticket check-in.
Chapter 276
After Zhizhi and Li Shu sent Father Li, Ms. Jiang and Xu Yunduo to the train station, they left together.
They went to the black market next door, bought some rice and other food, re-entered the train station, and took the train to Jiudaowan Station.
Because Zhizhi has already come thinking about it, why not take this opportunity to visit Tangniang.
Years ago, she had been busy with the affairs of the commune, team and enterprise, so Tang Niang couldn't take care of her.
So the two got off the car at Jiudaowan Station, and went up the mountain with a load and a basket on their backs...
Unexpectedly, Zhizhi and Li Shu were all in vain? !
Tang Niang is not here!
Looking at the neatly tidied yard, Zhizhi had a bad thought in her heart-if Tang Niang just went to the back mountain or something, why didn't the yard not dry Xiao Jinzhi's diapers? And the chicken coop in the back of the yard is gone? !
Zhizhi and Li Shu hurried to Zhang Pingxiang's house on the opposite hill.
Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Pingxiang and her sister-in-law went to the market, but they are not at home. Ping Xiang's pregnant second sister-in-law is at home, seeing Zhi Zhi and Li Shu coming to the door, should she come to ask about Tang Niang's whereabouts?
Mrs. Zhang supported her back and said, "It was the third day of the Lunar New Year the day before yesterday when we left! No matter how much we persuaded her, we told her not to go, saying that the doll was too small... But she just didn't listen! When I left, I didn't have much luggage, so I just went A small burden... Hey, I'm so worried!"
Zhi Zhi asked again, "Did she leave me a note or something?"
"Yes, yes! Just wait, I'll get it for you... ..." Saying that, Mrs. Zhang went into the back room with her big belly, and brought a piece of paper over after a while.
Zhi Zhi took the note, unfolded it, and saw several square handwritings on it, like the handwriting of a first-grade elementary school student who just practiced calligraphy:
[Zhi Zhi: I will take Jin Zhi out to see the world, and I will return to Justice Island in three years. 】
Zhi Zhi exclaimed in surprise, "Three years?!"
Li Shu also took a look, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Isn't Fu Mingyu too miserable?"
But Tang Niang has been away for two days, and she doesn't know where she is going, but it is unrealistic to chase her back...
Zhizhi sent the food she brought to the Zhang family to thank them for taking in Tang Niang this year time.
Then Zhi Zhi and Li Shu left together.
==
It is said that after Xu Yunduo returned to the capital with the Li family, at the train station, she took out 20 yuan and handed it to Ms. Jiang, "Aunt Jiang, I am really sorry for disturbing you. The money, It's my traveling expenses... After I'm settled here, I will come to you and Uncle Li together with my mother to apologize." Ms. Jiang confiscated
her money, "You, what happened to you? It is right to find a way to solve the difficulties. But you shouldn't imitate others and use your brain!"
Xu Yunduo was ashamed.
Ms. Jiang said again: "Now that you think about it, you're still a good boy. Even for your mother's sake, it's impossible for me to charge you the money... You take the money back. Now you have a lot of things at home. There are places to spend money everywhere!"
Xu Yunduo held the two big unity cards, tears tremblingly hanging on his eyelashes, unable to fall.
She bowed to Ms. Jiang and his wife, "Thank you Aunt Jiang, thank you Uncle Li!"
Xu Yunduo bid farewell to Mrs. Li, first hurried back to the work unit, picked up some things, and then hurried back home.
The stepmother still lives in the second-floor villa with a pair of younger siblings, but all the furniture in the house has been evacuated and it is empty. The stepmother and a pair of younger siblings made a bunk in the attic to live in. The flowers and plants in the garden of the villa have been pulled out and planted with rapeseed. However, in the middle of winter, the rapeseed does not sprout at all and looks bare.
When Xu Yunduo passed by, her stepmother was cooking dried noodles.
"You are back, Yun Duo? Where have you been these days? Your mother came to look for you, but... I don't know where you have been. By the way, let's eat together?" the stepmother said.
Xu Yunduo asked her stepmother, "Where did this noodle come from?"
- She remembered clearly that the last time she came back, the house had been emptied, and all the things that could not be moved were overturned and smashed.
The stepmother wiped away her tears, "When your mother came, she gave me ten yuan for the dried noodles I bought... Then after dark, the neighbors around quietly sent some rice and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar... Yun Duo, what's wrong with your father? What to do? How will I live in the future?"
Xu Yunduo said: "Auntie, I'm going to the countryside to jump in the queue soon..."
The stepmother was surprised.
Xu Yunduo explained: "There is no way to solve this, so I have to go. As for my dad, I will ask someone to guarantee his three meals a day... Other things, I really can't solve it "
"Then, what about me and your younger brothers and sisters?" The stepmother burst into tears.
Xu Yunduo took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to his stepmother, "Auntie, this money is all my savings since I started working, including bonuses, please keep it and don't let anyone dig it out. Just save it and use it. It is enough for you and your brothers and sisters to live for three years. After three years..."
She sighed, "After three years, I should be able to send you a little more money every month, but all the difficulties are still You need to overcome it yourself."
The relationship between stepmother and Xu Yunduo is not too bad. After all, Xu Yunduo's parents divorced first because of emotional discord, his father remarried after four years of divorce, and his stepmother was honest and loyal. Xu Yunduo likes to dance, so she honestly takes her husband's money and sends Xu Yunduo to dance lessons. She doesn't forget to ask Xu Yunduo to send a copy to Xu Yunduo's own mother when she has any good things at home
... After seeing her stepmother crying into tears, Xu Yunduo felt desolate and had nothing to do, so she could only ask, "Auntie, what about my dad's usual salary?" The
stepmother cried, "I hid in the interlayer of the closet before, but That big wardrobe...was carried to Hu Jiani's house. I don't know if she found the money now."
Xu Yunduo took a deep breath, "I will find a way to get the money back to you, so that you and your siblings won't be penniless." The
stepmother cried.
Xu Yunduo patted his stepmother on the shoulder, hugged his younger brothers and sisters, turned and left.
She wandered around the compound a few times, found an acquaintance, and inquired about the current situation of the Hu family-it turned out that Hu Jiani and Gao Junwei were going to hold an engagement banquet soon, and the date was three days later.
How can I go through the Hu family, find my own big wardrobe, and then avoid people to take out the money hidden in the big wardrobe?
Xu Yunduo thought for a long time and didn't know what to do.
In the end, she decided to go to her mother first to report her safety.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the compound where his mother lived, he ran into Zheng Zhou head-on.
Zheng Zhou looked at her with a gloomy expression.
Until now, Xu Yunduo was still a little uncomfortable when he saw Zheng Zhou, so he nodded to him, said "Happy New Year", and left in a hurry with his head down.
Zheng Zhou's indifferent and angry voice came from behind: "Where have you been these days?"
Xu Yunduo was taken aback.
She looked around and confirmed that there was no one else but her and Zheng Zhou. so?
Is he talking to her?
Zheng Zhou walked up to her quickly and asked, "I'm asking you something! Don't you understand?"
Xu Yunduo looked blank.
She didn't understand what it had to do with Zheng Zhou where she went.
Zheng Zhou was so angry that the veins on his forehead burst open, and he looked at Xu Yunduo with the look of wanting to eat people, "You just left without saying a word, your mother is very worried about you, do you know that she is looking for you?"
Xu Yunduo immediately said: "Yes, I'm sorry..."
As soon as she said the words, she suddenly realized, why should she apologize to Zheng Zhou?
At this time, Zheng Zhou was also a little uncomfortable, so he asked her again, "Then where have you been?"
Xu Yunduo looked at Zheng Zhou...
she didn't want to say.
Although it's not a secret that she followed Aunt Jiang to Seagull Island, she has nothing to do with Zheng Zhou, so why should she tell him?
The veins on Zheng Zhou's forehead sprang up again, "Do you know that your mother begged me many times to find you! I have searched every place in the capital where people can hide, you..." Now, Xu Yunduo no longer
hides "I, I went to Jienan Province with Aunt Jiang and Uncle Li."
Zheng Zhou was taken aback.
He is also a soldier, so of course he knows who Aunt Jiang and Uncle Li are.
After a while, Zheng Zhou suddenly realized something, his face changed drastically, and he asked: "You...you are going after Li Shu?"
Xu Yunduo blushed, and said quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, I, I I went there with Aunt Jiang to relax! Li Shu already has a partner!"
Zheng Zhou's anger subsided a little, and he asked doubtfully, "Really?"
"What did I lie to you for?" She was so ashamed that she wanted to cry, "Aunt Jiang still has a photo of Li Shu and his partner in her hand. If you don't believe me, she will definitely show it to you when you go to pay New Year's greetings to Aunt Jiang!" Zheng
Zhou With a pale face, he asked again, "Then when did you come back?"
"Just got off the train."
Zheng Zhou stared at Xu Yunduo for a long time, hesitant to speak.
Finally, he said: "Go, I'll accompany you back to see your mother." "I
can go by myself, thank you Zheng Zhou, I, I have caused you too much trouble." Xu Yunduo said.
Zheng Zhou's face that had just calmed down became tense again, "You-"
Seeing that he was angry, Xu Yunduo felt inexplicably flustered, and quickly said: "Then, let's go together!"
As she spoke, she led the way in a panic.
Zheng Zhou followed behind her in silence.
It's the Spring Festival holiday now, and Xu's mother stays at home alone. Seeing her daughter come back suddenly, Zheng Zhou is still following behind? Xu's mother was overjoyed, hugged Xu Yunduo, and cried: "Yun Duo, where have you been?"
Xu Yunduo repeatedly apologized, "Mom, I'm sorry! I'm sorry for making you worry..."
Xu's mother cried loudly holding her daughter Only after one game did he regain his senses.
It wasn't until Xu Yunduo helped his mother sit down that he realized that Zheng Zhou went and twisted the hot handkerchief, handed it to Xu's mother to wipe his face, and poured two more cups of boiling water for Xu Yunduo and Xu's mother to drink.
Xu Yunduo looked at Zheng Zhou in surprise, thinking how could he be so comfortable in her mother's house?
Xu's mother took the hot towel and wiped her face, then asked Zheng Zhou to sit down, then picked up the cup, took a few sips of hot water, and turned to Xu Yunduo, "Yunduo, where have you been?"
Xu Yunduo told about his trip to Seagull Island in Jienan Province with the Li family.
Seeing the close relationship between Zheng Zhou and her mother, she didn't hide it. First, she said that Bie Zhizhi, the deputy director of the Educated Youth Office of Nanling Town, was Aunt Jiang's future daughter-in-law, and that she had already made an agreement with Bie Zhizhi... Bie Zhizhi Zhihui will send out the directional recruitment index immediately. After she gets the directional bidding, she will report to Seagull Island immediately.
As soon as this remark came out, Xu's mother was stunned.
Zheng Zhou was also stunned.
Xu Yunduo didn't notice it yet, and said happily to her mother: "Mom, Nanling Town is a good place. Not to mention the outstanding people, the scenery is also good. The most important thing is that the people in that place respect art very much! I think there will be It's a very suitable place for me..."
Xu's mother was anxious, "But... Yun Duo, if you leave, what should I do?"
Xu Yunduo said: "I can't help it, Mom, I told you years ago that I was on the list of the first one in my unit to go to the countryside to jump in the queue, and I must leave Kyoto by April this year at the latest... "
You can marry Xiao Zheng!" Xu's mother interrupted Xu Yunduo, "I, I have already made an agreement with Xiao Zheng..." Xu Yunduo's eyes widened in shock
.
She looked at her mother, then at Zheng Zhou...
Zheng Zhou turned his face away, not wanting her to see his flushed face.
But Xu Yunduo murmured: "Mom, you mean...a fake marriage?"
"What fake marriage?" Xu's mother asked back.
Zheng Zhou turned his head suddenly and stared at Xu Yunduo.
Xu Yunduo was taken aback by his sharp eyes, but still stammered: "I, I...didn't I pay you back last week, did you have a date with you?" "She's not my date!
" Zheng Zhou said angrily.
Xu Yunduo didn't believe it!
As soon as the young girl rushed up, she hugged Zheng Zhou's arm and called him "Brother Zheng Zhou" sweetly. If they weren't lovers, how could they be so close.
Xu's mother was confused, "Xiao Zheng, what's going on?"
Zheng Zhou took a deep breath-
"Xu Yunduo, you have the right to choose a partner, don't I?" He asked seriously.
Xu Yunduo said: "Of course you have too."
Zheng Zhou said, "I am an excellent young man...is it normal for young women to like me?" He has always been reserved, but he wants to say that he is excellent. , it is embarrassing.
But if I don't make this matter clear today, I'm afraid there will be countless misunderstandings.
So he had to say it.
Xu Yunduo nodded, "...normal."
Zheng Zhou, "Then I can't refuse that young woman?"
Xu Yunduo paused for a while before nodding, "You...of course you can."
Zheng Zhou fell silent.
Xu Yunduo reacted belatedly-Zheng Zhou said that he also has the right to choose a partner? Mom said, let her marry Zheng Zhou...isn't it a fake marriage? ? ?
Xu Yunduo was dumbfounded.
Seeing that Xu Yunduo hadn't said a word for a long time, Zheng Zhou couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, "Xu Yunduo, you just... despise me so much?"
Xu Yunduo could only feel his mind buzzing.
Xu's mother said: "Yun Duo, what do you think of Xiao Zheng...?"
Xu Yunduo was confused.
What does she think of him?
I don't have any opinion at all...
His marriage and love conditions are indeed very good, but she always thought that after rejecting her mother's proposal to match him up last time, he...should be disgusted with her. In particular, she later dated Gao Junwei.
At this time, Zheng Zhou asked her, "Why did you break up with Gao Junwei?"
Xu Yunduo murmured, "Because he fell in love with Hu Jiani in order to stay in the city..." "
What if he didn't get along with Hu Jiani? " ? Will you be with him for the rest of your life?" Zheng Zhou asked.
Xu Yunduo was speechless.
Seriously...
no.
"Why don't you talk?" Zheng Zhou asked her forcefully.
Xu Yunduo, "I, I didn't think so far..."
"Then why did you choose him in the first place?" Zheng Zhou was aggressive.
Xu Yunduo was anxious, "Because I'm already twenty-four, and I don't want to be judged by others...Gao Junwei and I work in the same unit, he understands my situation and understands me..."
"What does he understand about you?" Zheng Zhou asked again.
Xu Yunduo was in a hurry, tears came out, "What do you think? Every time the girls in our troupe are on stage, they are pointed at by people. Those people are not talking about their legs or their chests, and then they take advantage of it. If the girl ignores him, he will spread rumors... It's not easy to say! If he has physical contact with the male actor while performing on the stage, it will be even worse..." "I agreed
later Gao Junwei's pursuit is also because he and I work in the same unit, so he understands me better than outsiders! I said that, do you understand?" Xu Yunduo said angrily.
As a pillar of the song and dance troupe, she has a beautiful appearance on the surface, but she is despised and ridiculed by many people behind her back, and she becomes the heroine of the nasty jokes... It's not that she doesn't know, but because of her love for dance, she chooses to pretend to be blind and deaf .
Now, Zheng Zhou forced her to tear off the fig leaf of pretending to be deaf and dumb...
Xu Yunduo felt even more uncomfortable.
Zheng Zhou asked her calmly: "Did you reject me because you thought I couldn't understand you?"
Xu Yunduo's emotions had been lifted, and he yelled at Zheng Zhou: "I don't need your understanding. You and I...we are people from two worlds!"
Zheng Zhou said calmly: "I have watched your performances of 'Peace Dove', 'Fish Mermaid', 'Fountain of Tears'...a total of 27 performances in four years , the farthest tear fountain was in Hemeng, I drove to Hemeng in the middle of the night, hurried to the theater, was hit by a cyclist, and rushed to the theater with a bloody head, In the end, they didn't let me in. Later, I found some water, washed my head and face, and climbed over the wall to enter... I only saw the second half of that scene, and it was also the only one I didn't watch the whole scene in all your performances. It's..."
After a pause, Zheng Zhou said in a low voice: "That may be my... lifelong regret."
Xu Yunduo was stunned.
She looked at Zheng Zhou blankly with tears in her eyes.
Xu's mother said: "Yun Duo, Xiao Zheng...has always paid attention to you. I'm very unhappy that you have sex with Gao, and it was Xiao Zheng who persuaded me... At that time, he said, you and the surname Gao The tall ones can't grow..."
Hearing this, Xu Yunduo asked Zheng Zhou, "How do you know that I can't grow with him?"
Zheng Zhou said helplessly: "You were so absorbed in practicing and rehearsing that you didn't even notice that Gao Junwei was more than He's chasing you alone...he's flirting with several girls in your troupe at the same time, otherwise, why do you think he'd have sex with Hu Jiani so quickly?" Xu Yunduo was dumbfounded
.
She really... didn't find out.
Zheng Zhou stared at Xu Yunduo for a long time, and asked, "Do you...do you have feelings for Gao Junwei?"
Xu Yunduo looked blank. Zheng Zhou put it another way, "When you found out that Gao Junwei and Hu Jiani were together, what did you think?" Xu
Yunduo blurted out, "They are a scumbag and a scumbag, and they will be locked up forever! Never again It's harming others!"
Zheng Zhou chuckled, "You don't hate Gao Junwei for betraying you, and you don't hate Hu Jiani for stealing your boyfriend?" "I hate
it," Xu Yunduo said, "I hate Gao Junwei , he wants to break up with me, just say it openly, but he is with Hu Jiani before he breaks up with me, and he always knows that Hu Jiani and I don't get along, how can I not hate him "
As for Hu Jiani, I hate her even more! You can find out the specific reasons. The first is the historical grievances between my family and his family, and the second... I want to avoid her, but she keeps following her everywhere. I fought over it with me, and now I don't know whether she is engaged to Gao Junwei, whether she really likes Gao Junwei, or to anger me." Xu Yunduo said.
At this point, Zheng Zhou can basically confirm that Xu Yunduo is very slow in emotion.
She rejected him at the beginning, maybe it wasn't because she didn't like her; just like she chose Gao Junwei later...in fact, it wasn't because she liked Gao Junwei.
Zheng Zhou turned to look at Xu's mother.
Mother Xu nodded to him with a smile, eyes full of encouragement.
Zheng Zhoujun blushed, his voice was low, and he stammered to Xu Yunduo: "Yun Duo, I... have liked you for a long time, I... want to ask you to date me for a while, we... try Try it out and see if it fits, if it fits, I, I want to marry you and form a small family, please, please think about it."
Xu Yunduo was dumbfounded.
She never expected that Zheng Zhou would propose to her at this juncture.
"Zheng Zhou, I'm going to the countryside to jump in the queue soon." Xu Yunduo said.
Zheng Zhou, "You and I are married, so you don't need to go to the countryside. You can stay in Kyoto and be a family member for a while, and when I find an opportunity to arrange you to work as a temporary worker in the company... I will think about it after a while Ways to make it right..."
Xu's mother also said: "Yun Duo, that's the only way you can stay with your mother. Mom is getting old, and you are the only daughter. If you want to go to the countryside... then how can mother be alone? What to do?"
Xu Yunduo was caught in a dilemma.
In a daze, Hong Hehe from Seagull Island had spoken, and it rang in Xu Yunduo's ears --
[If falling in love makes people lose themselves, lose fighting spirit for career, and put all expectations on the other half, Then I would rather not talk about changing love... because the career is what we have worked hard for, and it will always be loyal to me and repay me]
Xu Yunduo opened his mouth, and then looked at Zheng Zhou in a daze.
She took a deep breath, then plucked up her courage and said to him: "Zheng Zhou, I'm sorry... If there are two roads in front of me, love and career... I will choose career." Mother Xu was stunned, and asked doubtfully
: "Career? What career? Yun Duo, you...you have already been laid off by the song and dance troupe!"
Xu Yunduo said very seriously: "Yes, I have indeed been laid off by the Kyoto song and dance troupe, so I'm going to Go to Nanling Town, Linshi City, Jienan Province, and go to the countryside to join the team! I want to... build my own business again with my own hands!"
Xu's mother looked disappointed.
Zheng Zhou stared at Xu Yunduo resentfully, with reddened eyes.
Chapter 277
Xu Yunduo looked at his mother, then at Zheng Zhou, and finally asked his mother cautiously: "Mom, you..."
Xu's mother burst into tears, "I don't have a daughter like you!"
Xu Yunduo remained silent.
After a while, she whispered to her mother: "Mom, you are still young and still working, so you should work hard. I will go to Nanling to work hard first, and after I gain a firm foothold, I will retire when you retire. Take you there, we, mother and daughter, depend on each other there..." "
Mom, Nanling is no worse than Kyoto. The air and climate are good there, and two thin clothes are enough for winter...and the soil is fertile and planting The crops that come out are particularly fat...Because of the climate, we can only eat radishes and cabbage and potatoes that have been hoarded for several months in winter, but Nanling Island can eat beans, cucumbers, eggplants and leeks all year round! Even The rice there is also more fragrant than the rice from other places!"
"Mom, just trust me!" Xu Yunduo said, "If you don't believe me, when you go to work, you can ask Aunt Jiang...you will know I'm definitely not exaggerating..."
Zheng Zhou asked: "But didn't you say that you went to Nanling for a career?"
Xu Yunduo nodded, "I know what you mean... now this policy, all cultural, educational and entertainment All stopped, our song and dance troupe was the first to bear the brunt, I thought I was the pillar of the troupe, but my name was on the list of the first batch of going to the countryside... At the beginning, I was angry, very angry, and felt that others relied on I stayed with the relationship, and I... foolishly focused on rehearsing, and didn't ask anyone to leave any relationship at all, so I was dismissed..." "
Afterwards, I thought about it carefully," Xu Yunduo said, looking at Zheng Zhou said word by word, "I believe in my absolute strength. If even I have to go to the countryside...it will prove that there is no one left in the song and dance troupe. I will be on the first batch of lists. There are lists for the first and third batches... In the end, the song and dance troupe will be disbanded and everyone will leave."
Mother Xu and Zheng Zhou were silent.
Xu Yunduo continued: "Let's talk about my idea of going to Nanling to pursue my dream! Of course, this idea is immature... I have been working on Seagull Island in Biezhizhi for a few days and tried it. First of all , The working atmosphere there is very good, women are taken care of, and the work assigned to me...it is indeed a bit hard, but I can still do it. And I can also spare time to practice...this is one of them "
"Well, the people over there... are actually more qualified than the people here. Bie Zhizhi is on Seagull Island. There are not many people on Seagull Island, so I went to perform on Justice Island next to Seagull Island. There are 300 people on Justice Island, most of them are middle-aged and elderly men. I have performed for them two or three times, and they looked at me with a pure look of "this doll can dance very well"... They were even curious. Came to ask me, how did I stand on tiptoe..."
Xu Yunduo couldn't help laughing when talking about their simple, honest and curious performance when they performed for the uncles and grandpas on Justice Island.
She continued: "Thirdly, I think Nanling still needs to have a performance team! I discussed it with Bie Zhizhi, and she agreed with me. So I will find a way to form a performance team and complete the labor every day. After the task, I used my spare time to practice and dance... Zhi Zhi said that every May Fourth Festival, September 9th Festival, New Year's Day and Spring Festival, there will be entertainment performances!" What Xu Yunduo didn't know was that she was talking
about During these times, the voice is high-pitched and passionate, the tone is sonorous and forceful, there is a slight pink on the fair face, and the eyes are very bright and energetic.
Looking at Xu Yunduo like this, Zheng Zhou was a little distracted for a while.
Xu's mother didn't understand her daughter's thoughts very much, and asked: "Then you have changed from a professional to an amateur? What kind of career is this?"
Xu Yunduo said to her mother: "Mom, let me ask you... If I After marrying Zheng Zhou, can I dance with peace of mind?"
Mother Xu was speechless.
Xu Yunduo said to Zheng Zhoudi: "Zheng Zhou, I want to thank you for your kindness... But, I can't imagine a day when I won't be able to dance in the future. If I marry you, it will be the beginning of losing my chance to dance, so I can only choose ...Go to the countryside to jump in the queue."
Zheng Zhou didn't say anything, but just watched her bright eyes gradually dim...
Xu's mother was anxious, "Yun Duo, after you and Xiao Zheng get married, you can also stay at home Dance!"
Xu Yunduo's eyes turned red.
She didn't know how to explain it to her mother...
Maybe this is the gap between the two generations!
At this moment, Zheng Zhou finally spoke, "Aunt Xu, don't blame her. It's a good thing to have a dream, it's better than being in a daze all day and not knowing what you should do..." Xu's mother
sobbed A few times, "Xiao Zheng, I want to complain for you! You have paid so much for our Yunduo, but she has been turning a blind eye...Although she is my own daughter, I am on your side "
Zheng Zhou glanced at Xu Yunduo again, and asked: "Xu Yunduo, let's not talk about family and career...what do you think of me personally?
" .
"Tell me exactly," Zheng Zhou said solemnly, "otherwise I have a hundred ways to make you lose this directional indicator."
Xu Yunduo: ...
She looked at Zheng Zhou, then at her mother, and finally got red. He said with a straight face: "Your conditions are so good, I, I don't want to have any opinion about you."
Zheng Zhou frowned, "What do you mean?"
Xu Yunduo's face gradually became flushed, "It's not my fault, I don't want to think , It's useless to think too much, and it will only increase your troubles. Besides, I... will go to the countryside soon."
The corners of Zheng Zhou's lips curved slightly, "Then you can think about it now... and don't think about going to the countryside."
He was afraid that he didn't speak clearly enough, so he continued: "You just assume that you will go to Nanling to go to the countryside in a safe and smooth way to join the team, and then I will also transfer work and transfer to Nanling... In this case, you will treat me What kind of opinion would it be?"
Mother Xu realized something, her eyes widened in surprise.
Xu Yunduo blushed instantly, "Your assumption is impossible to be true..."
"What if the assumption is true?" Zheng Zhou pressed further.
Xu Yunduo bit her lower lip, her face was unbelievably red, even the tips of her ears were pink.
Zheng Zhou pressed again, "Xu Yunduo, don't lie..."
Xu Yunduo was so forced that he had no choice but to whisper, "Then, your conditions are so good, maybe... there will be other girls... There will be many girls who like you..."
"What about you?" Zheng Zhou pressed hard.
Xu Yunduo was so ashamed that he couldn't bear it, no matter what, she couldn't tell that she had a good impression of him... from the beginning. She blushed and stomped her feet, said angrily "I, I... I don't know" and then hurried out of the house.
Zheng Zhou smiled. Xu's mother also laughed, and said to Zheng Zhou
: "It's been a long time since I saw Yun Duo being so shy... like a little girl!"
out.
In fact, Xu Yunduo didn't run far, she was mainly...she was hot all over, so she stood at the tube tower to blow the cold wind to calm down.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhou chased her out...
Her heart, which had finally calmed down a little, started beating wildly again.
Xu Yunduo turned around and wanted to run -
he grabbed his arm.
Zheng Zhou dragged Xu Yunduo into the tube building, "You ran away for several days during the Chinese New Year... You finally came back and didn't accompany your mother. Afterwards, I went to Nanling. The sky is far away. I want to come back and see her. It's hard...that's it, you still want to run?"
Xu Yunduo bit her lip, feeling indignant in her heart: If you weren't here, how could I...couldn't stay here?
Zheng Zhou dragged Xu Yunduo back home without any explanation, and then said to Xu's mother: "Aunt Xu, it's almost time for dinner, so don't fire, I'll go to the cafeteria to buy it." Xu Yunduo just wanted to say
no I'm sorry to trouble you, I'll go buy it by myself-
Mother Xu has already kindly said to Zheng Zhou: "Okay...Xiao Zheng, come back with some lo-mei, and weigh five catties of dumplings. These are big for the Chinese New Year, and I haven't eaten them with Yun Duo yet." Serving dumplings!"
Zheng Zhou responded, went to the kitchen to get a few tin lunch boxes, and left.
Xu Yunduo then asked her mother, "Mom, when did you get so close to him?"
Xu's mother gave her a blank look, "Xiao Zheng was originally..." Then he sighed and said, "You, People have secretly liked you for four or five years, and you don't know anything!"
Xu Yunduo froze for a moment.
Xu's mother asked again, "When did you come back? Have you seen your father? Hey, your aunt is so pitiful...and she has no job, and she has a pair of children... I sneaked to see her once a year ago. I gave her some money... She is also a poor person, and she asked me if I was implicated in the first sentence..." As she spoke, Xu's mother wiped away her tears.
"If you leave...I'm fine, at least I still have a job and a salary, and I also have leaders and colleagues. Usually, if I have a headache, I can call...the president of the neighbors." If you can come over and help... your aunt and your younger siblings will be in trouble!" Xu's mother couldn't help sighing.
Xu Yunduo said nothing.
After a while, she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Aunt Qin (stepmother) told me that she kept all my dad's salary in the mezzanine of the big wardrobe over the years, but that big wardrobe was Hu Jiani's father moved away...Mom, if only I could find a way to get the money out of the closet...I have given her all my salary over the past few years, plus my father With the previous salary, Aunt Qin and her younger siblings wouldn't be able to eat three meals a day."
Xu's mother was stunned, and laughed, "Your Aunt Qin is too sincere! I made the interlayer by myself, and it took a lot of money. It took a lot of effort to hollow out one of the boards with a thin piece of wood, leaving a small slit the thickness of a finger, and it was opened from the side. If you don't touch it, you will definitely not know there is another one. Secret compartment..."
Then she was a little worried, "But the wardrobe has been moved to Hu Jiani's house, how do I get it back?"
While the mother and daughter were talking, Zheng Zhou came back with a heavy lunch box in a net bag.
"What wardrobe are you talking about?" Zheng Zhou asked casually, took the lunch boxes out of the net pocket one by one, and placed them on the dining table.
Xu's mother relayed Xu Yunduo's words.
Zheng Zhou frowned.
But his subordinates didn't stop, went to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks, and called Xu's mother and daughter to eat.
The lunch was quite rich: there was a lunch box full of stewed pork head meat, two large lunch boxes full of freshly cooked dumplings, and a lunch box full of fried shredded potatoes.
The three of them sat around the dining table and ate.
Xu Yunduo hadn't eaten such an appetizing meal for a long time, and he ate it with great enjoyment.
Xu's mother curled her lips, "Why do these dumplings taste like this? The dough is not good, and the filling is not good..."
Xu Yunduo was dumbfounded, "It's not delicious!"
Xu's mother: "Xiao Zheng's dumplings are comparable to These dumplings are much more delicious!"
Zheng Zhou glanced at Xu Yunduo, blushing, "Then... shall we make our own dumplings tonight?"
Xu's mother said: "Tomorrow, it's still a holiday. I'll go out early to buy vegetables and the freshest pork..." "Mom, I'm going to see
my dad tomorrow, and I may not be able to make it back and forth in one day." Xu Yunduo said .
Mother Xu, "The day after tomorrow?"
Xu Yunduo, "Hu Jiani is engaged the day after tomorrow, I have to go and see..."
"Are you still attending her engagement banquet?" Mother Xu looked displeased.
Xu Yunduo, "I have to find a way to get back the money in the mezzanine of the big wardrobe!"
Xu's mother suddenly realized, so she turned her head and said to Zheng Zhou: "Xiao Zheng, then..."
"Let's talk when you have time," Zheng Zhou Said, then turned to look at Xu Yunduo, "I'll go with you to see your father tomorrow."
Xu Yunduo quickly refused, "No need..."
"Do you know the way?" Zheng Zhou asked.
Xu Yunduo: ...
She froze for a moment, then asked suspiciously: "Do you know Lu?"
Zheng Zhou stared at her without speaking.
Xu's mother said bitterly: "Ahead, you were in retreat in the song and dance troupe, and no one could find you. When your father was taken away, there was no room for your Qin to report to you! Then when you came back, you called me After a while, I left... It wasn't your father that Zheng Zhou went to see for you! I brought some clothes for your Aunt Qin, and I brought him some change and sent seven or eight catties of potatoes..." Xu
Yunduo Looking at Zheng Zhou in surprise, he was bewildered.
In this way, on the second day, Zheng Zhou drove Xu Yunduo by bicycle, and the two went to a farm house in the countryside of a neighboring county, where they found Xu's father.
Father Xu was very pleased to see his daughter.
But due to the fact that there were people staring at them, the father and daughter didn't dare to say a lot of things. Xu Yunduo told his father about the family situation, and then said that he was going to the countryside soon...
Father Xu's eyes were complicated, but in the end he patted his daughter on the shoulder, "From now on, you have to take good care of yourself..."
Xu Yunduo's eyes were hot and sad, and tears welled up in his eyes instantly.
Xu's father patted Zheng Zhou's shoulder again, "Xiao Zheng, my daughter is very ignorant, in the future... I have to ask you to worry about it!"
Xu Yunduo looked astonished: "Father?
" Zheng Zhou ignored Xu Yunduo.
Zheng Zhou said to Xu's father: "Uncle, Auntie asked me to bring some more potatoes... Before you eat, be careful whether these potatoes have sprouted."
Xu's father's expression changed.
--When Zheng Zhou sent potatoes over last time, he used a particularly clever method. He dug several holes in a potato, stuffed a one-yuan bill in each hole, and then covered the potato skin back...In a bag of potatoes, he stuffed a total of seven or eight dollars Come in.
The change was very useful, and he distributed some to the farmers who guarded him, so he could eat some hot meals without people.
Now that Zheng Zhou said this, he was obviously telling him that he had tampered with the potatoes again.
Father Xu was moved and pleased, he nodded at Zheng Zhou first, and then said to his daughter, "Yun Duo, you have to listen more to Xiao Zheng in the future."
Xu Yunduo opened his eyes wide, "Father?" Yunduo "Okay, Yunduo, let's go!"
Xu Yunduo was dragged away by Zheng Zhou in a daze.
She always felt like something wasn't quite right.
When they got home, Zheng Zhou asked Mother Xu directly, "Aunt Xu, what kind of wardrobe did Hu Jiani and the others remove? What about the mezzanine? Please show me.
" Zheng Zhou pulled her into the room, opened her big wardrobe, and carefully introduced the style of the big wardrobe, which layer of the wooden board with the hidden compartment was, how to reach in and feel it, and how to feel it. How can I open the dark grid...
The two practiced for almost two hours...
Zheng Zhou was about to leave.
Before leaving, he specifically told Xu Yunduo, "Remember to dress up beautifully tomorrow!"
Xu Yunduo:? ? ?
Zheng Zhou looked at her, "Tomorrow Hu Jiani and Gao Junwei will hold an engagement banquet at home. As an ex-girlfriend who was abandoned, shouldn't you go to greet the new couple?" Of course Xu Yunduo would not let go of this good opportunity
.
However, the way she imagined was to bear the humiliation and sneak into Hu Jiani's room when no one was prepared, and then open the closet door to get back the money in the mezzanine...
Xu Yunduo: "I-"
Zheng Zhou, "You must be in the front Make trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better, and attract everyone's attention. In this way, I have a chance to sneak into Hu Jiani's room to get things...Xu Yunduo, do you understand?" Xu Yunduo
:! ! !
"Zheng Zhou, this is my business..."
Zheng Zhou just glanced at her and said, "Remember, dress yourself up tomorrow." Then he turned and left.
Xu Yunduo, "Mom, look at him..."
Xu's mother said: "I think Xiao Zheng's plan is much better than yours! Don't worry, you will play that play well tomorrow... Don't be afraid of losing face Save face, you are going to the countryside anyway, why do you care about that?" "
Besides, the Hu family is really too much, if you can add trouble to them in this matter, I will be happy! Hmph, Your father and I...have been divorced for so many years, and Hu Lizi is still using the past to punish me! Yun Duo, you have to scold them for me tomorrow!" Mother Xu said angrily.
Xu Yunduo's attention was immediately diverted.
On the second day, she really tidied herself up properly.
As soon as she got downstairs, she saw Zheng Zhou coming towards her.
Zheng Zhou obviously dressed up a bit today too. He was wearing dark blue trousers in combat uniform, small leather boots, and a black jacket on his upper body, revealing a brand new white shirt collar. ...
Xu Yunduo was stunned, and sized him up for a while.
Zheng Zhou also looked at Xu Yunduo-she was also wearing a pair of dark blue trousers, and her upper body was a dark blue windbreaker of the same color. The windbreaker was unbuttoned, revealing a light gray floral sweater decorated with bright yellow and light pink on the inside, which looked very girlish , a head of black and soft long hair hanging down, and a pink cloth headband on his head.
She is light and slim, with a beautiful appearance and elegant temperament, which makes people unable to move their eyes away for a while.
Someone came down from upstairs slowly, which alarmed Xu Yunduo and Zheng Zhou.
Zheng Zhou turned around and walked out of Tongzilou, Xu Yunduo followed.
The two walked outside for a while and stopped when they saw no one around.
Xu Yunduo asked him first, "Hu Jiani also invited you?"
Zheng Zhou said "Yes".
Xu Yunduo felt a little strange, "How did she know you?"
Hu's father and Xu's father both work in the education committee, Xu's mother is in a military enterprise, Zheng Zhou is a soldier...he is in charge of logistics, and has more dealings with military enterprises . Moreover, the compound of the Education Committee and the compound of the military region are separated by seven or eight streets, and it takes forty minutes to walk...
Zheng Zhou glared at her, with a bit of resentment in his tone, "Maybe in this world... you are the only one who doesn't know me I like you. Hu Jiani has always known, so she has always kept in touch with me."
Xu Yunduo was stunned.
--Hu Jiani has never been able to deal with her since she was a child, and she has always known it. Hu Jiani has also been deliberately trying to target her. She is the first in the exam, and Hu Jiani cheats and also gets the first place; The lead dancer, she and Gao Junwei are going to snatch Hu Jiani...
But what she never expected was that Zheng Zhou was just her admirer, and she had never agreed to Zheng Zhou's pursuit, so Hu Jiani actually wanted to snatch him?
At this moment, Xu Yunduo's heart burst into a raging unknown fire.
Zheng Zhou sized her up and saw that she wasn't embarrassed, but she had a suppressed anger?
He couldn't help smiling, and said, "Let's go, we'll go separately when we get to the family compound of the Education Commission, I'll go first... You watch, wait five minutes after I go in, and then go make trouble at the door, the bigger the trouble, the better. Let everyone run out to watch the excitement... Remember, don't stop until I come out to signal to you. Otherwise, I don't want to be caught as a thief." Xu Yunduo nodded
.
Zheng Zhou said softly again: "As long as you talk about the relationship between a man and a woman, don't be afraid that you won't be able to close it... No matter how big the trouble is, I will take care of you, you know?" Xu Yunduo raised her head again, looking
at He glanced at Zheng Zhou.
Zheng Zhou led her to the bicycle shed, picked up the bike, stepped on the bike with long legs, and motioned for her to get on.
Xu Yunduo thought, when he took her to see her father yesterday, it took a total of nearly 100 kilometers to go back and forth, and it took a total of about seven hours...
So why is she being pretentious today?
She sat in the back seat of his car generously.
Zheng Zhou took her to the family compound of the Education Committee by bicycle.
She left as soon as she got out of the car, planning to visit her stepmother and younger siblings first; Zheng Zhou glanced at her background and went to Hu's house calmly.
As soon as Xu Yunduo arrived home, her stepmother told her, "Yun Duo, Hu Shanni came to see you twice, asking why you didn't go to her house to attend her sister's and Gao Junwei's engagement banquet... Yun Duo, why don't you go? I went to your mother's house and avoided it."
Xu Yunduo played with his younger siblings for a while...
Hu Jiani's sister and Hu Shanni came to look for Xu Yunduo again, and when they opened their mouths, they were very angry, "Yo, sister Yunduo, are you here? Did we think you were afraid to come?"
Xu Yunduo smiled, "If I don't come, then wouldn't your sister hold this engagement banquet for nothing?"
Hu Shanni froze.
She glanced at Xu Yunduo, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.
"Let's go, go to your house for a wedding drink." Xu Yunduo said.
Xu Yunduo left immediately.
Hu Shanni followed suit.
Hu's house was decorated with lights and festoons at the moment, and there were a dozen or so round tables outside the villa, which were already full of people, all of whom came to eat the wedding wine of Hu Jiani and Gao Junwei.
It was far away, and Xu Yunduo hadn't arrived yet. Hu Shanni ran forward and shouted loudly, "Sister! Sister...Xu Yunduo is here!"
Hu Jiani immediately rushed out of the villa beaming, "Yunduo is here!" Already?"
Xu Yunduo stood still, looking at Hu Jiani.
Hu Jiani is short and fat, wearing black trousers and a red dress... The red dress made her dark complexion even darker, and she applied concealer powder on her face, but it couldn't cover a few pea-sized spots at all. The pimples, the bright red lips against the powder-smeared face, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit creepy, but the two blobs of red on the cheeks point out a bit of happiness.
And when Hu Jiani saw the slim, elegant and demure Xu Yunduo, a trace of resentment and jealousy flashed in her eyes.
"Yun Duo, why did you come here?" Hu Jiani stepped forward and took Xu Yunduo's arm, and said affectionately, "Today is my big day, but I just hope that you can come to drink a glass of matchmaker wine..."
Xu Yunduo smiled.
But this scene fell in Hu Jiani's eyes, and she only felt that Xu Yunduo was forcing a smile.
Complacently, Hu Jiani pulled Xu Yunduo to the Eight Immortals table at the front, and said to the guests with a smile: "My friends, you probably don't know her yet, right? Come on, please allow me to introduce you... ...Her name is Xu Yunduo, she is the pillar of the song and dance troupe, the lead dancer of the ballet...How about it, she is pretty, right?"
The guests naturally praised it again and again.
Hu Jiani said again: "Everyone...Xu Yunduo is the matchmaker between me and Junwei! If it weren't for Xu Yunduo, Gao Junwei and I wouldn't have come together, so today, I hope everyone can offer Xu Yunduo a glass for me Wine, wish her...find her other half in the remote countryside!"
The guests looked at each other.
--what happened? Isn't today a great day for Hu Jiani? Why is there such a strong smell of gunpowder in her words?
At this time, Xu Yunduo opened his mouth, "Jiani, what about Gao Junwei? You are too insincere. You said you wanted to toast me with a matchmaker's wine, but you are the only one to toast... Are you the only one willing to get engaged? He Don't want to?"
"You-"
Hu Jiani immediately shouted "Junwei", Gao Junwei came out from the villa, first shouted "What's the matter with Jiani", then suddenly saw Xu Yunduo, couldn't help but Startled, she slowly walked towards Hu Jiani.
It has to be said that Gao Junwei, as the number one ballet dancer in the song and dance troupe, is tall and thin, with a handsome face and a great appearance.
However, the three of them were standing side by side at this moment, Gao Junwei and Xu Yunduo looked like a couple, while Hu Jiani, who was short, a little fat, and not very good-looking, looked like an outsider.
Xu Yunduo smiled slightly, took his arm out of Hu Jiani's hand, and the eldest slapped Gao Junwei with a single ear-
"Smack!!!"
Gao Junwei was stunned.
Hu Jiani was also stunned, and turned her head and said angrily, "Xu Yunduo, are you crazy?"
"Smack!!!"
Xu Yunduo slapped Hu Jiani again.
Hu Jiani is stupid.
The noisy noise here attracted the attention of most of the guests.
Many people gathered around.
Xu Yunduo sneered, "Don't you want to thank me for being a matchmaker? Then I have to explain to everyone how I became your matchmaker...right?" Hu Jiani covered her face, "...Xu
Yunduo !"
Xu Yunduo said word by word to all the guests: "Gao Junwei was originally my partner, but because I practiced dance in seclusion...he fell in love with Hu Jiani! Look, that's how I got this matchmaker... ... Gao Junwei, let me ask you, did I slander you?"
"Yun Duo, I, I have already apologized to you!" Gao Junwei said.
Xu Yunduo asked him again, "Gao Junwei, let me ask you again, why did you abandon me and be with Hu Jiani? Is she prettier than me? Or is she in better shape? Is she gentler than me? Or is she better than me?" She understands and takes care of you better? In front of so many people, as long as you can tell one of her good points... I am convinced that I lost this relationship, and I will never pester you again... Tell me !"
The onlookers were in an uproar.
"To be honest, I also think Xu Yunduo is much prettier than Hu Jiani, so why did this guy choose Hu Jiani instead of Xu Yunduo?" "Are you
stupid? Hu Jiani's father is amazing!"
"Hu Jia Ni just spoke so eccentrically, I guess, maybe Hu Jiani poached Xu Yunduo's corner." "I think what
you said is right! It's possible that Hu Jiani snatched Xu Yunduo's partner! "
Is this man blind? Don't leave such a beautiful Xu Yunduo, looking for such an ugly one?" "I
guess this ugly family has power!"
Xu Yunduo looked at the entrance of the villa again - there were many guests Sticking their heads out from the door of the villa, they are all looking at the hot spots. But she didn't see Zheng Zhou's shadow, so she simply said loudly: "...Hu Jiani! Do you think it's interesting for you to do this?"
Xu Yunduo said word by word: "Since you were young, you have never dealt with me. You have to do whatever I do! When I was young, I wore a red dress and you also wanted to wear it. You had to cut a hole in my red dress. I I can't wear it anymore, you are happily wearing a red dress every day to show off in front of me!"
"I got the first place in the exam. If you are not convinced, go and collect the quiz papers from the previous semester of your child's school, and then memorize all the answers silently. You will get full marks in the quiz like me, but the final exam papers are written by the teacher himself. The questions you asked...you showed your truth as soon as you took the test, and you came to the bottom of the class..." "
I like dancing and you have to learn it, and you still insist on competing with me when you know that you are not the material... But you ask Ask yourself, do you really like dancing?! I talked about my boyfriend and fell in love, and you insist on robbing my boyfriend... Are you trying to prove that you are more attractive than me?" Hu Jiani was stunned
.
Xu Yunduo continued: "Hu Jiani, when will you stop being a scholar?"
Hu Jiani stared at Xu Yunduo viciously with wide-eyed eyes, and screamed with all her strength: "You are talking nonsense!!!"
Xu Yunduo Yun Duo's eardrums were almost shattered.
However, in this way, more guests gathered from all directions.
Xu Yunduo thought, Zheng Zhou should have a chance now, right?
"Am I talking nonsense?" Xu Yunduo sneered, "Am I talking nonsense, you know it! Hu Jiani, everyone knows my status in the song and dance troupe. 'Peace Dove', 'Fish Mermaid' and 'Fountain of Tears' "I personally choreographed and rehearsed the dance... As a result, I actually became the first batch of people who were dismissed from the unit, and I was actually on the list of the first batch of people who went to the countryside to jump in the queue? Hu Jiani, dare you say that this is not your handwriting ?"
Cold sweat broke out on Hu Jiani's forehead.
-Of course it was her handwriting!
Even, she can proudly show off in front of Xu Yunduo alone, because this is her father's power!
But in front of so many people, she didn't have the courage.
Hu Jiani flushed with anger.
Fortunately, the powder on her face was too thick, so she didn't show her shame.
Xu Yunduo continued: "Okay, most of the cultural and entertainment units are the same now, they should go to the countryside... According to my information, the orchestra has been disbanded. The puppet troupe will also be disbanded soon..." Speaking of this, she suddenly
saw Zheng Zhou squeezed out of the villa.
He also nodded at her? !
Xu Yunduo felt relieved, and didn't have the heart to quarrel with Hu Jiani anymore, and said: "...Then I won't say anything. I will go to the countryside to jump in the queue according to the policy, but Hu Jiani, let me ask you one more question...you The only thing left in my life is to compete with me for everything. Now that I am leaving, are you still chasing me to the countryside? Then grab a hoe from me and plant the land?" "Tsk tsk, Hu Jiani, you learn everything from
me After studying for so many years... After I leave, who else can you learn from? It's so pitiful!" Xu Yunduo said with infinite compassion.
Hu Jiani was stunned for a while, then screamed, "You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense...I didn't learn from you!"
Zheng Zhou strode over, "Yun Duo, let's not argue with this kind of person, let's go, let's go to the movies, If you don't leave, you will be delayed..."
Zheng Zhou also put his arms around Xu Yunduo's slender waist.
Xu Yunduo felt a little uncomfortable.
But in order to find a place in front of Hu Jiani, she stiffened the smile on her face and did not break Zheng Zhou's hand.
Seeing this scene, Hu Jiani almost popped her eyes, "Xu Yunduo! When did you and Zheng Zhou fall in love?" Xu
Yunduo sneered: "Zheng Zhou has always been my admirer, don't you? I only know now? As for when did I get on good terms with him? I'm sorry I haven't agreed to Zheng Zhou's pursuit yet!"
Zheng Zhou was very generous with face, he looked at Xu Yunduo affectionately, and said softly: "Yun Duo, No matter what you turn around, I will wait for you at the same place."
--Zheng Zhou is a well-known unmarried golden bachelor of the right age nearby, many young girls have confessed to him, and Hu Jiani has confessed to him more than once...
Now that Zheng Zhou showed such affection towards Xu Yunduo, Hu Jiani screamed, "Xu Yunduo, you actually seduced Brother Zheng Zhou!"
Then she insisted on asking Zheng Zhou, "Brother Zheng Zhou, is she lying, right? "
Of course not, I really like Yun Duo," Zheng Zhou said, "and I have liked her for many, many years..."
Hu Jiani's eyes widened like copper bells, "You, you...then why didn't you come sooner Tell me?"
"You didn't ask me either." Zheng Zhou said lightly.
Xu Yunduo purposely got angry with Hu Jiani, so he glanced at Zheng Zhou and said, "Zheng Zhou, I'm going to the countryside soon and leave here, so why don't you... get involved with Hu Jiani again while I'm away?" Right?"
"That's absolutely impossible, she's not as good-looking as you, she's not as gentle as you, and she's not as good at dancing as you... I don't like her." Zheng Zhou replied calmly and cooperatively.
Hu Jiani was stunned.
Xu Yunduo raised his chin high, and said arrogantly to Zheng Zhou: "Zheng Zhou, I order you... even if I go to the countryside to jump in the queue and never come back, you are not allowed to say a word to Hu Jiani , Don't laugh at her!"
"No problem," Zheng Zhou looked at Xu Yunduo dotingly, and said softly, "I will listen to you whatever you say."
Hu Jiani was so angry that she chased after Xu Yunduo, He even waved his claws, "Xu Yunduo, you bitch-"
Zheng Zhou quickly pulled Xu Yunduo into his arms, avoiding Hu Jiani's scratching, and then said coldly to Gao Junwei: "Comrade Gao, you Don't you care about your fiancée, just let her bite people like a mad dog?"
Gao Junwei hurried forward to hug Hu Jiani as if he had just woken up from a dream, but he looked at Xu Yunduo's slim and graceful figure with longing eyes. Obsessed again.
Zheng Zhou took Xu Yunduo and left calmly.
A conversation between Hu Jiani and Gao Junwei came from behind-
"Gao Junwei, let me go!" "Jiani, stop messing around!"
"Are you feeling sorry for Xu Yunduo so I won't let me chase after her to look good on her?" "Don't
be like this, Jiani, today is our engagement banquet, why did you make such a fuss?"
"Who wants to get engaged to you ?" Get lost! You don't like Xu Yunduo, then go find her!"
"Jiani, you..."
It has to be said that Hu Jiani's hysterical and crazy roar from behind, and Gao Junwei's embarrassing persuasion... made Xu Yunduo feel very happy.
It was so cool-
she didn't even notice that Zheng Zhou had been holding her waist...
Xu Yunduo didn't feel a little awkward until they were far away.
She is used to walking alone, not used to being held in the arms of a man. And... it feels strange to be embraced by someone, she can smell the strange aura on Zheng Zhou's body.
His breath doesn't make her feel disgusted.
But she couldn't help but want to run away-
Xu Yunduo twisted her waist and ran away.
Zheng Zhou: ...
Recalling the high spirits she had when she was yelling at Hu Jiani just now, and seeing her panicked and flushed embarrassment now, he couldn't help laughing.
Xu Yunduo asked him red-faced, "Zheng, Zheng Zhou, my Aunt Qin's money?
"
Xu Yunduo heaved a sigh of relief.
Then she hurriedly said to him: "Zheng Zhou, what I, what I said just now...is all nonsense, just pretend, don't take it seriously."
Zheng Zhou glanced at Xu Yunduo, "How can I do that? Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow."
Xu Yunduo was stunned.
"I-"
Zheng Zhou walked towards her father's house, "Let's go, quickly take the money to your Aunt Qin."
Xu Yunduo followed him back to his father's house in a daze.
Stepmother is not at home.
Xu Yunduo yelled several times before calling out his younger brother who was staying at the neighbor's house. The younger brother told her, "Sister, Mom took my younger sister to pull coal on a tricycle."
"Why didn't you bring your younger sister?" Xu Yunduo asked.
The younger brother explained: "My sister is making a lot of noise, I can't watch it."
--The little sister is only two years old, and it's time to make a fuss.
Xu Yunduo had to wait at home for a while, and Aunt Qin finally came back with her little daughter on her back. Xu Yunduo handed over the thick envelope that Zheng Zhou had brought back from Hu Jiani's house.
Aunt Qin cried when she saw the envelope.
There were streaks of coal marks all over her face, and when the tears rushed down, her entire face was stained.
"Yun Duo, do you have to go to the countryside?" Aunt Qin asked.
Xu Yunduo nodded silently.
Aunt Qin opened the envelope, revealing a thick stack of banknotes. She reckoned to divide half of it and handed it to Xu Yunduo, "Yun Duo, you take this money with you." "I don't want it." "Take it
.
" "Aunt Qin stuffed the money into Xu Yunduo's arms and said, "If you stay at home, if something happens, you and I will still be there, and your mother will be there. Yes. But once you go out, no matter what you encounter, you can only rely on yourself. You can't do without money! Besides, you don't have to have any psychological burden. Your father earned all the money. You spend it."
Xu Yunduo shook her head, and put the money back into Aunt Qin's hand, "Aunt Qin, I'm sorry... from now on, my younger siblings... will all depend on you."
She turned and left the villa.
Zheng Zhou followed her step by step.
In fact, Xu Yunduo simply... has nowhere to go.
After wandering on the street for a while, she realized that she had come to the door of the song and dance troupe.
Recalling that after her parents divorced, each had a family... Although the mother did not remarry and had a good relationship with her, she taught her to be nice to her stepmother both inside and out... Although the stepmother is pure in character, she always looks at her when she sees her
. Seeing the happy atmosphere when the stepmother and father are loving each other and being with younger siblings...
as if she is an outsider.
Only when she is immersed in dancing, she has the whole world.
Before he knew it, Xu Yunduo burst into tears.
Zheng Zhou has been silently accompanying her.
Seeing her burst into tears, he pondered for a moment, couldn't help but hold her hand, and led her to...his single dormitory.
He lives in the compound of the military area. The single dormitory is not big, only about ten square meters. There is a single bed, a desk, a chair, and a small wardrobe.
He asked Xu Yunduo to sit on a chair, and poured her a cup of boiling water.
Xu Yunduo slowly took a few sips of the slightly scalding hot water, and gradually calmed down. Looking around, she suddenly realized a problem, "Zheng Zhou, doesn't your family... have a house to live in? Why do you... Living here alone?"
Zheng Zhou sat on the single bed and sighed, "You finally started to care about my personal situation?"
Xu Yunduo shut his mouth.
Zheng Zhou talked about his family's chicken feathers, "My personal situation...is similar to yours, but not exactly the same. My father's wife is not my real mother, and my real mother died early..." Zheng's father
and Zheng's mother and her current wife are typical in the late Republic of China... The rich man who drank foreign ink disliked his original wife with little feet, but was forced to marry by his elders. The original wife gave birth to a son, raised her son with hardships, and finally died of poverty and illness. The clan escorted the son of the original spouse to Beijing, and let the son of the rich family and the current wife raise him.
Zheng Zhou is the son of this original spouse, because of Zheng Zhou, his father and his current wife have been quarreling endlessly for more than ten years...
After talking about the situation at home, Zheng Zhou also smiled wryly: "In this respect, you and I are more imaginative. Because we...are all people who have homes and cannot return."
Xu Yunduo was greatly touched, covered his mouth with his hands, and began to cry.
Zheng Zhou also had some red eye circles.
After a long while, he said to her, "Yun Duo, are you really...willing to try it with me?"
"I can't delay you," Xu Yunduo said with a sob, "I'm going to the countryside to jump in the queue soon!" "
What if I go with you?" Zheng Zhou asked earnestly.
Xu Yunduo was very shocked, "You, you want to go with me? No, no, no, no... this is not okay! Zheng Zhou, listen to me, I am willing to go to Nanling to go to the countryside to jump in the queue because I have already visited Nanling ...But you don't, you..."
"As long as you like it, I can do it." Zheng Zhou said.
After a pause, he said earnestly again: "I just want to be with the girl I like and form a... family that really belongs to me. As for where this family is, I don't really mind. No matter whether you are poor or rich, I will...protect the girl I like well, and love her...to love each other, have one or two lovely and healthy children, stay with her, do what she likes, and grow old with her..."
Afterwards , Zheng Zhou himself had red eyes.
He held Xu Yunduo's hand, and said almost pleadingly: "Yunduo, please seriously consider my proposal...don't rush to reject me, please calm down and think about it, okay?" Xu Yunduo broke down in tears.
She shook her head desperately, "Zheng Zhou, I don't know when I fell in love with me, and I don't know what you like about me... But what I want to tell you is that I am not the perfect girl you imagined. Just Like today, I will use you to anger Hu Jiani, I, I have an even more unbearable past..."
As she said that, she told Zheng Zhou the most embarrassing past of hers-how she was tempted to climb up to Li Shu, so she stopped Aunt Jiang halfway, and followed Aunt Jiang stalking Went to Seagull Island.
Xu Yunduo cried until he couldn't make a sound.
Zheng Zhou was very calm, "When I found out that you were leaving with Aunt Jiang, I already guessed this. Of course I felt uncomfortable, but at that time, you must have been very isolated and helpless. And Li Shu Of course, his conditions are better than mine, and you chose him at a glance, which is reasonable." "
Besides, you at that time thought that you had rejected my pursuit two years ago, and you would think that I had given up on you... So you don't think about me anymore, it's normal."
Hearing Zheng Zhou's analysis, Xu Yunduo felt even more ashamed, covered his face with his hands, and cried "I'm sorry"...
Three days later, Xu Yunduo took the initiative to come Looking for Zheng Zhou, the two had a long talk all night.
At dawn the next day, Xu Yunduo agreed to Zheng Zhou's request.
The two went together to tell Mother Xu first.
Mother Xu was overjoyed!
So much so... When she heard that Zheng Zhou also decided to transfer to Nanling Town, Xu's mother kept silent about "what if you all left and left me here alone".
She held her daughter in one hand and Zheng Zhou in the other, and wept with joy, "As long as you two are good, I, I am fine! Go! You two go together...don't worry about me! Yun Duo, don't worry about your father , This is all his good fortune, it is his fate!"
As for Zheng Zhou's family...
Zheng Zhou didn't even want to meet his father, so he made an intercom call during working hours and took two minutes to inform him. , that's all.
In March, under Zheng Zhou's operation, Zhi Zhi sent Xu Yunduo's targeted recruitment indicators safely. At the same time, Zheng Zhou also greeted Li Shu in advance, and through Li Shu's operation, Zheng Zhou's working relationship was transferred Nanling Town Coastal Defense Force Strengthening Battalion, served as the chief of the logistics section, and took the title of captain.
At the beginning of April, Zheng Zhou and Xu Yunduo held a simple and grand wedding in the capital under the help of Xu's mother and Aunt Qin.
At the wedding of Zheng Zhou and Xu Yunduo, Hu Jiani asked Gao Junwei to come over and make trouble.
--At the beginning, Hu Jiani and Gao Junwei got engaged because they wanted to anger Xu Yunduo. She just wanted Xu Yunduo to know that she, Hu Jiani, was no worse than Xu Yunduo in everything!
Who knows that Xu Yunduo doesn't care about Gao Junwei at all...
On the contrary, Zheng Zhou, whom Hu Jiani has been secretly in love with, married Xu Yunduo!
But Zheng Yiyi had already guarded against Hu Jiani to make troubles. He is eighteen years old this year, and most of his comrades are married. This time, they heard that there might be women who would make troubles. The comrades dragged all their military wives away. Come.
When Hu Jiani made trouble, she was pulled aside by the military wives. On the surface, everyone was enthusiastic, and they took turns pouring Hu Jiani rice wine one cup after another. Two days and two nights... Only after waking up did I realize that Zheng Zhou and Xu Yunduo had already married yesterday, and had bid farewell to their elders and relatives early this morning, and left with their luggage!
However, Xu Yunduo and Zheng Zhou's husband and wife traveled all the way to Nanling Town. After resting for two days, they followed the soldiers' boat to Seagull Island. They wanted to visit Zhizhi and Li Shu...but they Unexpectedly, at this moment, there is happening on Seagull Island...the most serious incident since the educated youths came to the island!
Chapter 278
In late spring and April, warblers fly and grass grows.
Seagull Island is hotter every day.
Zhizhi and her friends just finished a new round of professors taking turns teaching field research courses...
Everyone is exhausted.
It has to be said that the educated youths have been on the island for three years, and the ten instructors have taken turns to teach professional knowledge on the island for two years.
The tutors were pleasantly surprised by the intelligence of the educated youths and drawing inferences from one instance.
Originally, the instructors only regarded Seagull Island as a candidate for their own scientific research base, but firstly, the situation outside was getting worse and worse, secondly, the degree of cooperation of the educated youth surprised the instructors, and thirdly, the educated youth's understanding of majors and The attitude of Knowledge's willingness to study ruthlessly shocked the mentors...
In the end, the ten mentors moved all their main scientific research bases here one after another.
Because of this, the four spare greenhouses on Seagull Island were officially opened, and they were far from enough... Zhizhi had asked Fu Mingyu to arrange manpower to speed up the construction of the greenhouses.
To be honest, although the area of Seagull Island is not small, it experiences typhoon weather every summer. The top of Seagull Island is not suitable for land reclamation and farming, only depressions and valleys are suitable.
In other words...
the place suitable for being an experimental base has basically been developed.
The educated youths finally selected the land next to their private plots to build experimental greenhouses.
This is actually not very good.
Because infection occasionally occurs near the experimental greenhouses, the situation in Zhizhi's No. 1 greenhouse is particularly prominent.
--For example, as long as one is not careful, the desalinated seawater used by Zhizhi to irrigate the crops will flow out, causing the land to be severely alkalized, and the crops will be burned or burned to death... But Zhizhi has no solution to this situation for the time being
.
She felt that there were only two options: one was to remove the private land on Seagull Island and rebuild a greenhouse. In the future, Seagull Island would not grow a single grain, and it would be treated as a pure agricultural experiment island. One is to build a new greenhouse on Zhengyi Island, so that the educated youth can take care of it.
There are also downsides to transferring the experimental greenhouse to Justice Island.
After all, Zhengyi Island is the home of uncles and grandpas, and Zhi Zhi signed a grain planting and grain payment plan with the government on behalf of the 12th Production Brigade... If you rush to build greenhouses on Zhengyi Island, and build more and more in the future, uncle Do the grandpas still plant the land and pay the grain?
Of course, when Zhizhi held the educated youth conference, she also asked everyone to discuss this issue.
The educated youths put forward another idea: the 12th Production Brigade has a total of six islands under its jurisdiction, and besides Justice Island and Seagull Island, there are four other islands. They are: Snake Island, Poison Island, Bat Island and Cormorant Island.
--Snake Island is not big, and there are all kinds of poisonous snakes all over the island, making it uninhabitable.
--The situation on Poison Island is even worse than that on Snake Island. Because of the unique geographical environment, the island is full of miasma, full of poisonous substances, and uninhabitable.
--Bat Island is the natural granary of Justice Island. Tang Niang has repeatedly said before that this island is not allowed to move.
--The area of Cormorant Island is larger than that of Justice Island. The vegetation on the island is also good and the soil is fertile. The only fly in the ointment is that it is too far away. It takes at least two or three hours to travel by boat from Justice Island.
If you choose Cormorant Island and move there, then from Cormorant Island to Nanling Town... it will take at least four hours to rock the boat.
It's just too far away.
Just, very hesitant.
This time, after Professor Liu went to the island to do field research and intensive lectures, before leaving, he once again solemnly asked Zhizhi to build more experimental greenhouses. Zhizhi responded with a sad face.
However, she does not have a good solution in the short term.
After Professor Liu left, the educated youths took a day off as usual to rest.
Li Shu also cooperated with Zhizhi's vacation, taking a break on her rest day.
So on this day, Zhizhi slept comfortably for a long time before getting up slowly.
Zhizhi made an agreement with Li Shu yesterday that she will take a day off today, and she doesn't need anything at the moment, so she doesn't want to go shopping in the town.
So the two spent their holidays on this island.
The scenery of Seagull Island is also beautiful.
The two first went to the beach on the west side of the bank to play for a while, Zhi Zhi picked up twenty or thirty shells, Li Shu found a sharp rock, climbed up the cliff on the bank, and smashed down a lot with the sharp rock, and then the two They went up the back mountain together.
It took half a day to find the downstream of the mountain spring, Mr. Li Shu built a fire, and then moved the fire away; Zhizhi seized the time to plan a shallow pit with a branch, and wrapped the potatoes and sweet potatoes he brought with him in tung leaves Okay, buried in a shallow pit, covered with shallow soil, Li Shu moved the fire pile back...
Next, the two of them washed the shells and barnacles they picked up in the mountain spring, and put them directly on the fire pile beside.
The end of April and the beginning of May is the time when the berries are flooding.
Li Shu sat by the fire and took care of the shells and barnacles, while Zhizhi picked a few big leaves, March bubbles and wild strawberries nearby.
March bubbles grow on shrub branches with thorns, so you must be careful when picking them; wild strawberries are herbaceous plants, which look very similar to March bubbles. Although they are smaller than regular strawberries, they are much larger than March bubbles. More, and more juice and better taste...
Although the grafted fruit seedlings in the experimental greenhouse on the island have begun to bear fruit this year, the first year's fruits are lacking in both appearance and taste.
To put it bluntly, it is... neither good-looking nor delicious.
So Zhizhi likes March bubble and wild strawberry very much.
She picked off a huge tung tree leaf, ran to pick a lot of wild strawberries, then ran to the small river to wash them, and dried them on the clean big tung tree leaves...
Then she went to pick...
and picked...
Still going to pick...
Li Shu thought it was funny, and asked her, "Why do you like these March bubbles and wild strawberries so much?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his mouth was full of wild fruits.
"Is it delicious?" Zhizhi asked him, and then stuffed her own mouthful of wild fruits.
Li Shu chewed it in big mouthfuls, and watched her beautiful and proud expression shine brightly in the spring with a smile.
Sweet and sour, fragrant, fresh and juicy.
He nodded sharply.
"I just like it, and I want to pick a lot more! Take it to the dormitory to eat!" As he said, Zhi Zhi shared the bright red and beautiful wild fruits piled up in four large leaves into hills with Li Shu, Excitedly ran to pick wild fruit again.
Li Shu looked at her with a smile.
He has seen too many appearances of her commanding everyone, she is calm and calm at a young age, with an extraordinary bearing.
But in fact, she is just a nineteen-year-old girl.
Now she is lively and lively, loves to talk and laugh, and has a little temper...
This is what she should be like.
Li Shu prefers the current Zhizhi.
He smiled and watched her squatting in the grass picking wild strawberries humming a little song. She said just now that she wanted to go back to the dormitory to eat?
So he simply tore down some twigs and vines from the big trees, wove a soft basket, and put some paulownia leaves in it, and a simple basket was completed.
Zhizhi was very happy, and carefully put the picked wild fruits into the basket together with the tung leaves. She ran back and forth several times, and she didn't give up until the small soft basket was filled with wild lizi collected.
Of course, she still happily collected some and came back, washed them and sat with Li Shu, you and I ate one by one.
"Speaking of which, Xu Yunduo and Zheng Zhou have already arrived in the town. We will go to the town to find them in a few days. My mother even asked Xu Yunduo to bring you something!" Li Shu said.
Zhi Zhi asked him, "Are you familiar with Xu Yunduo, or Zheng Zhou?
" A goddess who is well-known far and wide. But when she became famous, I had already joined the army. I just heard that she is very... positive, and never gives good looks to young men... So the last time she came with my mother, I... ...To be honest, I was shocked."
Zhi Zhi looked at Li Shu, snorted, and asked, "Then when you were in school, didn't you have a little Qingmei to pester you?" "
My little Qingmei just Are you here?" Li Shu said seriously.
Zhizhi let out a "bah", "What kind of childhood sweetheart am I? I see, you and my third brother are childhood sweethearts, right?" However, it was never
asked whether he had dated other girls.
So unwilling.
How could Li Shu fail to see her displeasure?
He smiled and stroked Zhizhi's head.
Zhi Zhi avoids it unhappy.
He was a little helpless, and took the initiative to explain honestly, "Your partner is so good, and you have indeed received so many love letters... But when you were in school, you were obsessed with playing basketball, and you didn't have any thoughts, and you didn't even know what he was called or what he looked like." Then
he Hurry up to learn from the barbarian to control the barbarian, "What about you? I don't believe that no one will pursue you in the steel factory's compound." Zhizhi rolled his eyes at him, took the tung leaves and hummed a little song, and went to
pick wild fruits up.
Li Shu:? ? ?
No, when you talk about me, your brows stand on end. Now it's your turn to talk about you. You... You
know, there are more people chasing Zhizhi.
As far as he saw with his own eyes, there are already seven or eight male educated youths in Nanling Town, and there is even Tao Rongye on Seagull Island!
It doesn't seem to help to worry about this.
Anyway, she is already his object now hehe.
There's really nothing for the two of them to do together.
Zhizhi ran to pick a lot of wild fruits and came back, then she rolled up her trousers and removed her shoes and socks, and went to play in the stream.
Li Shu baked the shells, and then called Zhi Zhi to come back to eat.
Zhi Zhi ran back and ate two shells, two barnacle meat, and a baked potato, and she didn't want it, no matter how Li Shu told her to eat it, she didn't want it... Li Shu
took the remaining baked sweet potatoes, baked potatoes Baked barnacles and baked shells were all eaten.
He also ran over to kick water with Zhi Zhi.
On a midsummer afternoon, the cheerful laughter of the two resounded through the quiet creek bay.
I'm a little tired from playing, and the clothes of the two of them are also soaked...
Zhi Zhi brought a set of dresses over, and I have clothes to change at the moment; Li Shu is lazy, and doesn't care whether his clothes are wet, so he just... ...the short sleeves and trousers were removed directly, and only knee-length half shorts were worn.
He spread the wet clothes and trousers that the two of them took off on the boulder to dry.
Seeing Zhizhi sitting on the rock and dozing off, he had a thought, walked over and hugged Zhizhi... Then he sat on the ground, leaning his back on the boulder, letting Zhizhi lean into his arms.
Zhi Zhi, who was half asleep and half awake, was taken aback by him!
She was about to break free from him...
"I just want you to sleep well," Li Shu said, biting her ear, "If you move again, I'll kiss you?"
Zhi Zhi didn't dare He moved, and stared at her blankly with a pair of hazy and affectionate eyes.
He couldn't bear her gaze, so he pressed her head into his arms and said in a low voice, "You take a nap first!"
Zhizhi was really physically exhausted and brain exhausted some time ago, now she is full, sitting under the big tree, the canopy of the tree shields the fierce sunlight, and the cool breeze is blowing from the mountain forest...
plus Shang Lishu also gave her a sense of absolute security...
This is so suitable for a rest!
She blinked stubbornly, fanned her eyelashes, and fell asleep.
About half an hour later, Zhi Zhi came to her senses, blinked again, and woke up.
Li Shu didn't move.
This gave Zhi Zhi an illusion -
he fell asleep too?
Now she was nestling in his arms...
Her face was directly pressed against his pectoralis major.
Zhizhi was silent for a few seconds, then quietly stretched out her small paws and pressed on his pectoralis major.
I go!
Are all men's muscles so strong?
Why can't I press it down?
Zhizhi looked down again -
she saw his abdominal muscles formed into small squares under the pectoralis major as she wished.
So Zhizhi stretched out her fingers curiously again, pressed lightly on the edge of his abdominal muscles, and then covered one of his abdominal muscles, feeling its obvious shape and firmness with the palm of your hand...
" Is it fun?" Li Shu's voice sounded sullenly.
Zhizhi was taken aback!
So she--
in a panic, she put one hand on...
his pectoralis major!
And unconsciously grabbed it hard! ! !
Li Shu gasped suddenly...
He turned over and suppressed the person.
Zhi Zhi struggled to resist...
but he grabbed her hand and placed it on his muscle, then bent down-right
into the depths of love, suddenly there was a "crash" not far away, and in an instant The branch on the other side of the creek swayed, and I wondered if someone was coming.
Zhi Zhi and Li Shu were taken aback, they sat up quickly, separated a little bit, and then each tidied up...
But the surrounding area was quiet?
Zhi Zhi and Li Shu looked at each other, and they both looked at the opposite bank.
Simply look like there is no one at all?
Zhizhi suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, the vegetables in our educated youth vegetable garden recently, especially the ripe saffron, pumpkin and so on... are always harmed by unknown animals. I hate it! Long Qiang and the others said it was done by monkeys... Have the vegetables in your military camp's vegetable garden also been harmed?" "Yes!"
Li Shu said, "I think Da Zhou and the others are already setting a trap, but it seems I wasn't caught."
During the conversation-
there was a sound of "hohohohaha" from the opposite side.
Li Shu picked up a stone and threw it across the creek.
"Bang!"
The sound of the stone falling to the ground sounded.
Soon, the branches on several big trees shook. "
Zhi--"
"Oh oh oh oh
!" However, they are hidden in the woods, and Zhi Zhi and Li Shu can't see them, they can only see the branches of the trees shaking wildly...then slowly quiet down. But the branches of the big trees farther away began to shake... It seemed that they had left here.
Eh, I don't know when they came here.
Zhi Zhi sat on the big rock by the stream, removed her braid that was covered with grass leaves, loosened her long hair and re-braided it; Li Shu squatted by the stream, submerged his whole head in the water Hold your breath... After repeating this several times in a row, the cold stream made him calm down slowly.
"Zhi Zhi, when are we getting married?" Li Shu asked her confidently.
--Holding it like this all the time, he was almost suffocated!
Zhizhi turned her back to him, ignored him, and chuckled with her lips pursed.
In fact...
Her soul is not from this world, so she can accept sex before marriage. It seemed that Li Shu couldn't accept it, every time she was alone with him, there would always be times when she couldn't help herself, but he just couldn't help it-
"Zhi Zhi?"
Li Shu called her name again, "Your love this year I can go back to my hometown at the end of the year, or...we will do things at the end of the year?"
Zhi Zhi thought for a moment, then turned to him and said, "Not at the end of this year."
"Why?" Li Shu was very upset.
--Actually, he also knew why, because Zhi Zhi was still too young, only nineteen years old, even if she turned twenty by the end of the year, her family would probably disagree.
Nowadays, when young men and women get married, they are basically between twenty-three and twenty-six.
Zhi Zhi was only twenty years old, so he forced her to get married, which seemed a little unreasonable.
However, he really likes Zhizhi very much.
Just want to marry her!
For a moment, Li Shu actually got angry with himself.
Zhi Zhi looked back at him and smiled.
In fact, she has no objection to getting married early - if she has found the right person.
Zhi Zhi, "I..."
At this time, someone shouted loudly in the distance, "Zhizhi! Zhizhi-"
Zhizhi heard that it was the thin monkey calling her.
"Hey! I'm here! By the river!" Zhizhi responded quickly.
Li Shu hurriedly took his clothes and pants spread out on the boulder, dressed neatly, and then started to pack things.
Soon, the thin monkey came over, "Zhi Zhi, Xu Yunduo and a man came to look for you, so I'll come up and report to you!" Zhi Zhi
and Li Shu looked at each other, thinking that Xu Yunduo And Zheng Zhou came so soon?
"Then let's go together!" Saying that, Zhizhi greeted the thin monkey again, "Little monkey, I picked a lot of March bubbles, you can eat some too!" Looking at
the soft basket, the thin monkey was immediately happy to see Toothless, he thanked Zhizhi and quickly took a piece of March bubble wrapped in tung leaves, washed it in the stream water, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
"It's delicious!" The thin monkey exclaimed.
The three went down the mountain together.
Walking to the Educated Youth Station, Zhizhi saw the beautiful and slender Xu Yunduo standing with a handsome young soldier.
Come to think of it, that young man is Zheng Zhou?
Apart from Xu Yunduo and Zheng Zhou, there are still several outsiders in the educated youth station, namely: Jiang Shutao, Li Xiuai and Li Fen, the three of them are female educated youths from the third production brigade, and the first two are friends of Yu Lu.
--Li Aiguo's hometown Jiang Zhuangzhi, and Jiang Zhuangzhi's object He Manman.
--Chen Yuejin's younger sister, Zhang Chunhong.
The educated youth who came to visit came over to say hello to Zhi Zhi.
Only Li Fen avoided the crowd.
Even when Zhi Zhi's gaze was on Li Fen, Li Fen turned her head aside to avoid Zhi Zhi's gaze, and showed a look of "I'm too lazy to talk to you".
Zhizhi ignored Li Fen and greeted Xu Yunduo with a smile.
But soon, Zhizhi caught a sight that made people feel very uncomfortable.
Follow the line of sight -
so it is Li Fen?
Zhizhi frowned.
Li Fen was staring at... Zhizhi's chest? ? ?
Zhizhi realized belatedly that
she had put on the thin gold necklace that Li Shu's father gave her because she was dating Li Shu in the mountains today.
When she left in the morning, her gold necklace was hidden in her collared blouse, so no one saw it.
But she changed her clothes on the mountain, and this dress has a lower collar... Everyone should have seen the golden and delicate gold necklace hanging around her neck by now.
Zhizhi is not a high-profile person.
She covered her neck with her hands and smiled at everyone, "Sit down for a while, I'll be right down."
Then she hurried upstairs.
Back in the room, Zhizhi looked in the mirror and found that her hair was still stained with grass leaves, so she simply tore off the ends of the braids and combed her hair with a comb... At this time,
Hong Hehe shouted from downstairs again, "Zhizhi Zhizhi! Zhizhi--"
"Hey! Here we come!" Zhizhi responded, and hurriedly braided the braids, quickly took off the gold necklace, put it in the drawer, and closed the drawer again.
Zhizhi hurried downstairs.
It turned out that the educated youths proposed not to cook today. It is rare that there are so many people. Everyone went to the beach to have a barbecue together, eating and having fun. And tomorrow is Sunday, and the educated youths who come to Seagull Island can play here until the evening, and huddle with their friends at night.
Zhizhi has no objection.
Xu Yunduo was the happiest, "It just so happens that I rehearsed a new dance, I'll show you the dance!"
Hong Hehe hurriedly introduced to the educated youths who came to Seagull Island, "Yunduo can dance ballet! It's so beautiful..."
Xu Yunduo smiled and said, "But it's going to be hard for everyone to help me sing... the White-haired Girls' Club?"
Chen Yuejin's youngest sister, Zhang Chunhong, rushed to ask: "White-haired girl? Is it..."
"The north wind is blowing... the snowflakes are fluttering, the snowflakes are fluttering... is the year coming?" , Zhang Chunhong hummed a few lines softly.
Xu Yunduo said in surprise: "Yes, yes! This is one of them! It would be great if you can sing... Then I will teach you another part, and I will hum a few words for you to listen to..." "Other
people My daughter has flowers to wear, and my father can't buy them with little money, so I tied a two-foot red-headed rope for my Xier..."
Zhang Chunhong said excitedly: "Oh, your song is the best, but I didn't If you listen to many opportunities, you won't be able to learn anything!"
Hong Hehe asked, "Hey, I don't even have time to watch new movies! Is this white-haired girl good looking?"
"Good looking!" Zhang Chunhong said excitedly, "I like Xier so much. Brother Dachun is fine too!" Then he yelled, "That landlord Huang Shiren is so bad that he is oozing pus! Huh, he should have his tendons pulled and skinned! Fortunately, he didn't end well..."
Hong Hehe was in a hurry, "Chunhong, tell me about the plot again..."
Gao Tiantian began to make arrangements for the beach barbecue. He needed to bring pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and some Rice and fresh water...
All of a sudden, everyone was in a mess.
Xu Yunduo stepped forward to thank Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, thanks for your help, I was able to come here... By the way, do you know? I'm married... Zheng Zhou? Zheng Zhou, come here!"
Zheng Zhou was chatting with Li Shu with a smile, when he heard his wife calling him, he hurried over.
Xu Yunduo grabbed Zheng Zhou and introduced him to Zhi Zhi, "Zhi Zhi, he is my lover Zheng Zhou. Zheng Zhou, she is Zhi Zhi... She is Li Shu's object, and she is also the one who helped me a lot this time "
Zheng Zhou stretched out his hand, shook hands with Zhi Zhixu, and said with a smile: "Hello, Comrade Zhi Zhi, I have known you for a long time! You don't know, after Aunt Jiang went back, everyone said that Li Shu found a good man. Object, she also showed me your photo. Now I finally see your real person, you, you are so outstanding! By the way, I also want to thank you for helping Yun Duo so much!"
Zhizhi smiled, exchanged a few words with Zheng Zhou, and then asked Xu Yunduo, "Zheng Zhou has been transferred to Nanling, actually...even if you don't need the directional pointer I sent, you can still come here!" Xu
Yunduo Yun Duo shook his head, "What's the difference? If I come here with him, then I'm a family member, and I don't have my own career. I'd rather be an educated youth here... I want everyone to see it. I can dance ballet!"
Zhizhi laughed, "What if you really become a mud leg?"
Xu Yunduo was full of confidence, "I am willing to be a mud leg! Not only am I willing to be a mud leg, I am also I just want to dance for the mud legs to see, why? Can't I?"
"Okay! Of course!" Zhi Zhi smiled for a while, and then asked Xu Yunduo, "By the way, who is Hu Jiani?"
Xu Yunduo's expression was full of smiles Suddenly froze.
After a long while, Xu Yunduo asked, "Zhi Zhi, how do you know about Hu Jiani?"
Zhi Zhi said with a smile, "Because this person wrote me an urgent registered letter."
Xu Yunduo's complexion turned pale instantly. .
Originally, Zheng Zhou had already chatted with Li Shu again at this time, when he heard what Zhi Zhi said, his expression was a little dignified, and he hurriedly said: "Farewell to Comrade Zhi Zhi, this person Hu Jiani...you can't believe what she says." Xu
Yunduo "Zhi Zhi, what did Hu Jiani say in the letter?"
Zhi Zhi smiled and said, "Wait for me, I'll go upstairs and show you the registered letter."
Saying that, she hurried upstairs.
After entering the room, Zhi Zhi went straight to the desk.
The desk has three drawers, a large one in the middle and a small one on each side.
Zhizhi is used to putting valuables in the small drawer on the left hand side, because this drawer is closer to the head of the bed. The small drawer on the right is used to put all kinds of odds and ends. The largest drawer in the middle is used to put a few books, stationery, letters and so on.
Zhizhi opened the big drawer, rummaged through the registered letter that Hu Jiani had sent to her, and closed the big drawer-
then she found that the small drawer on the left was ajar?
Thinking about when she came into the house to comb her hair and pick off the gold necklace, she put the necklace in this drawer casually, maybe she didn't close the drawer tightly just now?
She didn't think much about it, and pushed the small drawer in, closing it tightly.
Zhizhi took the letter and went downstairs.
Xu Yunduo couldn't wait to take the registered letter from Zhi Zhi, and asked Zhi Zhi again, "Zhi Zhi, can I really read the contents of this letter?" Zhi Zhi nodded, and said: "After reading
it Don't worry in the future, take some time to write a reply letter and give it to me. After I read it, if the content is okay, I will reply to this Hu Jiani and send your reply letter along with it." Xu Yunduo was
anxious Looking at the contents of the letter, I didn't think too much about it. I hurriedly took out the letter paper from the envelope and read it with a frown.
On the other hand, Zheng Zhou, once he heard what Zhi Zhi said, he understood-Zhi Zhi had actually vaccinated Yun Duo, and she was telling Yun Duo that Hu Jiani must have written something that was not good for Yun Duo in the letter. Zhi Zhi has already stated her position, that is... between Xu Yunduo and Hu Jiani, Zhi Zhi trusts Xu Yunduo.
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Yunduo finished reading Hu Jiani's letter, he burst into tears, "This Hu Jiani! She, she is spewing shit out of her mouth!"
Zheng Zhou quickly took the letter from his wife's hand and looked at it, and was also very angry. Qing Qing, "Why does this person spread rumors like this?"
Li Shu had heard Zhi Zhi talk about the contents of the letter, but he did not personally see it. Seeing that Zheng Zhou and his wife were so angry at this moment, they couldn't help being a little curious, so they took the letter from Zheng Zhou, and frowned after just a glance.
The letter is divided into three parts:
the first part is all about Xu Yunduo's style of work.
The second part is Hu Jiani's introduction to herself, what programs she has participated in, what awards she has received and so on.
The third part is Hu Jiani's self-recommendation letter, saying that she has heard about the advanced deeds of Nanling Town, so she wants to join, and hopes to show the beautiful dance to the people of Nanling Island in the future... Xu Yunduo is extremely ashamed
!
Although what Hu Jiani said in the letter were all rumors, she actually came to Seagull Island with bad intentions! If Zhizhi is not one of her own, then there is every reason to believe Hu Jiani's nonsense!
"Zhizhi, I, I don't! Hu Jiani is talking nonsense!" Xu Yunduo cried angrily, "She just can't see me well, probably all her dreams in her life are to fight against me and take everything from me... Zhi Zhi, please believe me, I am not as miserable as she said in her letter!"
Zhizhi smiled and comforted Xu Yunduo, "If I don't believe you, there's no need to show you this letter... By the way, remember what I just said, write a reply to me when you have time. I...but you have to pay attention, after all, once the letter is sent, you will have the handle in her hands. So you have to know how to answer the letter." Zheng Zhou also patted Xu Yunduo on the
shoulder , Comforting her: "Yun Duo, we are not in a hurry, and Zhi Zhi didn't reply so quickly... right?" The last sentence asked Zhi Zhi.
Zhizhi smiled and said, "Of course, it's not something important."
Xu Yunduo whimpered twice, "Zhizhi, thank you..." Then he turned to Li Shu and said, "Li Shu, thank you... "
Zhizhi smiled and said: "Okay, they have already gone to the beach, let's go too!"
So Bie Li and Xu Zheng walked towards the beach with the things that Gao Tiantian assigned to them. .
With great strength, Li Shu and Zheng Zhou directly picked up the things for two people, and walked towards the west of the bank without changing expressions or beating heartbeats. They were talking about the couple's room in the barracks.
Now the barracks in the town don't have husband and wife rooms, and the barracks are full of soldiers, and there is not a single family member accompanying the army.
Of course, the military camp can also allocate single dormitories to Zheng Zhou, but Xu Yunduo doesn't want to live in a place where men gather together.
So Zheng Zhou planned to rent a house in the town.
It's just that his husband and wife are not familiar with each other here, and now Zheng Zhou is asking Li Shu to introduce him to acquaintances, to see if anyone is willing to rent a house to him.
He has only two requirements for the house: one is to have a yard with a single family, and the other is to be close to the military barracks and the first production brigade.
--Xu Yunduo's labor relationship fell to a large team, Tao Rongye helped her personally.
This is not a big deal, Li Shu responded, "Tomorrow Sunday, I will accompany you to the town to find a house."
Zheng Zhou was overjoyed, "Then when I have a house, I will invite you and Zhi Zhi to visit me..."
Xu Yunduo also wiped away his tears, and said happily: "Yes, yes, Li Shu, we Zheng Zhou The dumplings made are delicious, we will invite you and Zhi Zhi to eat dumplings!"
Zhi Zhi laughed, "Why are you soldiers so good at making dumplings?"
"If you don't want to eat, don't eat it!" Li Shu Said.
Zhizhi deliberately teased him, "Then I won't eat the dumplings made by you, I will eat the dumplings made by Zheng Zhou..."
"Farewell Zhizhi!" Li Shu gritted his teeth and called out her full name.
Zhizhi pulled Xu Yunduo and ran to the front, laughing and laughing.
At this time, Zhizhi suddenly saw Hong Hehe coming from the front in a hurry, walking towards the educated youth station?
"He He, why are you going?" Zhi Zhi asked her.
Hong Hehe said: "The sea wind is strong at night, it will be cold! They sent me back to get some long-sleeved clothes, Zhi Zhi, do you want to get one for you?" "Yes!" Zhi Zhi said quickly
, "Go to my room and get it. There are two long-sleeved clothes hanging on the coat rack at the door. You can bring them all. Yun Duo and I each have one." Hong Hehe said "OK" and hurried back to get the
clothes .
When we arrived at the beach, everyone happily put the small benches and wooden buckets they brought on the dry sand, and then divided into three groups: some went to the beach to pick up seafood, some went to collect firewood nearby, and some stayed where they were to light the fire. , Cooking...
Zhizhi and her friends went to collect firewood together and came back, and then saw that the friends who were rushing to the sea hadn't come yet, so they ran to join in the fun.
Zheng Zhou saw the sea for the first time in his life, and Xu Yunduo didn't have much experience with the sea, so the couple went crazy playing on the beach!
Zhizhi heard his husband and wife chirping-
"Zheng Zhou, am I right? Nanling is a good place!"
"It is indeed a good place!"
"Zheng Zhou, look at how fine the sand is..."
"Yun Duo! Look, this shell is so beautiful!"
"I really like this place!"
"Me too, Yun Duo, I feel comfortable since I left Kyoto ...When we have rented the house, we will tidy up the house, work hard on weekdays, and go to the beach on weekends to play... How wonderful is this kind of life!" Zhi Zhi smiled
.
Just like it here.
As long as you like it, you will build it well.
At this time, Zhizhi saw Jiang Shutao, Li Xiuai, Li Fen and Yu Lu walking towards the Educated Youth Station together.
Zhizhi pointed at them and asked Gao Tiantian, "Tiantian, what are they doing?"
Gao Tiantian glanced at Li Shu, and was embarrassed to speak to him, so she pulled Zhizhi aside and said in a low voice: " It seems that Jiang Shutao is here...Yu Lu took her back to the toilet and changed her pants." Zhizhi
suddenly realized, and then asked Gao Tiantian, "What is Li Fen doing here?"
--The grievances between everyone on Seagull Island and Li Fen It dates back to the time when everyone was just assigned to Nanling and was still transiting at the provincial capital train station. At that time, Zheng Ping was very against Zhi Zhi, and Li Fen was Zheng Ping's follower, so of course he didn't deal with Zhi Zhi. Three years have passed, and Li Fen still treats Zhi Zhi coldly.
Yu Lu used to jump in the third production brigade, and later transferred to Seagull Island. She, Jiang Shutao, and Li Xiuai are good friends. During the holiday, Yu Lu invited her friends to the island for a talk, and Zhizhi had no objection.
But Zhizhi doesn't believe that Yu Lu will invite Li Fen.
So what is Li Fen doing here?
Gao Tiantian said in a low voice: "Yu Lu didn't invite Li Fen to come to our island to play. Li Fen saw Li Xiu'ai and Jiang Shutao from the same dormitory come out with a change of clothes, and asked, knowing that they are coming to our island. If you want to play here, you have to come with me."
Then Gao Tiantian persuaded Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, forget it, it's rare that everyone is happy today, don't target her, as long as she doesn't do anything... she won't dare to do anything, after all, this is our territory! Next time I asked Yu Lu to explain to Li Xiu'ai and Jiang Shutao, when you come to our place to play again, keep a low profile and quietly!"
Zhizhi smiled and nodded, and went forward to wash rice, cook and wash vegetables with Gao Tiantian.
After hearing the news, other soldiers on the island rushed over to play with the educated youths. We are all young people, and it was easy to get together...
This bonfire party made all the educated youths and soldiers go crazy!
At the beginning, everyone played "throwing the handkerchief" around the bonfire. If they lost or were caught, they would get up and perform a show.
Then, Xu Yunduo taught everyone to sing the excerpts of the white-haired girl. When everyone started to sing in harmony, she danced solo. When performing the excerpts of the white-haired girl with a red head rope, she also pulled Zheng Zhou out as a tool person, and she performed the ballet... The educated youths of Seagull Island saw Xu Yunduo perform ballet, but Dabing and the guests of Seagull Island I haven't seen it.
At the moment, everyone was amazed and mesmerized watching Xu Yunduo's performance, and gave her bursts of warm applause!
In the end, everyone played high-fiving conch shells again, and whoever passed it on will perform the show again... As a result, the young men began to tell ghost stories together, vividly and one after another, which frightened the young women. Rong turned pale and kept screaming...
Everyone was young in their early twenties, playing wildly until the early hours of the morning. Li Shu thought that the soldiers would have morning exercises tomorrow morning, so he proposed to break up.
Only then did everyone move and carry things hesitantly, either back to the barracks or the educated youth station.
Zhizhi arranged Xu Yunduo and Zheng Zhou in the guest room of the Educated Youth Station, and she also went back to her room to wash up and rest.
Everything was packed, and Zhi Zhi was about to go to sleep, when she suddenly remembered... The gold necklace she took off this afternoon was still in the drawer and not packed in a small cloth bag!
You can't put such precious things casually.
So she opened the drawer-
no gold necklace? ? ?
Zhi Zhi thought she had read it wrong, so she rummaged through the drawer again.
still none?
She frowned, pulled out the entire drawer, and rummaged through it...
There really wasn't one!
Zhi Zhi's heart sank, she hurriedly lit another candle, turned on the flashlight again, carefully searched through all three drawers, and wondered if she hadn't put them away properly and dropped the drawer. It was on the ground, so she lay down on the ground again and used the flashlight to illuminate the floor inch by inch...
--Her gold necklace was indeed gone!
Zhizhi's heart tightened.
At this time, Fang Lijuan's loud voice came from the corridor, "Huh? What the hell, why is my watch missing? Hehe? Zhizhi! Qingyu! Sweet! Yu Lu... have you seen my watch? ah?"
Chapter 279
Zhizhi hurried out the door.
The door of Fang Lijuan's room was wide open, and other female educated youths stood at the door of Fang Lijuan in twos and threes. Everyone was wearing pajamas and pajamas, looking inside curiously.
Zhizhi also passed by.
Fang Lijuan was kneeling on the ground holding a flashlight, just like Zhizhi was kneeling on the ground looking for a gold necklace just now.
Hong Hehe asked, "Lijuan, where did you put your watch?"
Fang Lijuan stood up and said with annoyed expression, "I...well, I'm so confused! Let me think about it..." After
calming down for a while , Fang Lijuan began to review her behavior just now, "I came back from the beach with everyone, and then I was going to take a shower, so I... took off my watch and put it on the desk. Then I went downstairs to take a shower... I came back From now on, I pack up and get ready to go to bed..."
"I wind up my watch every night before going to bed, and stuff it under my pillow. In this way, it will be convenient for me to check the time at any time... the result is gone!" Fang Lijuan said.
Gao Tiantian asked Fang Lijuan, "Lijuan, could it be that you took it to the bathroom?"
Fang Lijuan couldn't be sure for a moment, "This... probably not, my watch is very expensive, I know If I want to take a bath, I will not take my watch to the bathroom."
Hong Hehe said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the route is fixed, so let's follow the path that Li Juan walked, and walk again!"
Lu said: "Don't go to the beach at this time, although we don't have any large raptors on Seagull Island, it's still too dangerous to walk at night!"
Fang Lijuan said: "Don't go to the beach! My watch will never be there ...Because I still remember, I checked the time when I went upstairs, and it was 0:15 in the morning..."
Hong Hehe said: "Then let's go downstairs with a flashlight, and search slowly along the road until we find it. Until the bathing hall!"
The female educated youths responded one after another, and ran back to their rooms to get flashlights.
Zhi Zhi fell into deep thought.
Seagull Island has never picked up lost things on the road. When the educated youths go to work during the day, the dormitory doors are not locked.
But this problem never happened.
Zhizhi couldn't help looking at...the four foreign girls who were crowded in the corridor and felt a little overwhelmed, who came to Seagull Island as guests: Jiang Shutao, Li Xiuai, Zhang Chunhong and Li Fen.
Jiang Shutao, Li Xiuai, and Zhang Chunhong are not the first time to visit Seagull Island as guests. They are very polite and bring small gifts every time they come. The others hit it off too. When the three of them came here before, there had never been any loss of things on the island.
Zhi Zhi's eyes fell on Li Fen.
It is not the first time for Li Fen to come to Seagull Island, but this is her first time to stay on Seagull Island.
Li Fen also noticed Zhi Zhi's eyes, she turned her head and walked into Yu Lu's room with a soft "hum".
At this time, other female educated youths went downstairs with flashlights. Jiang Shutao, Li Xiuai, Zhang Chunhong and the others also went down to search together...
Zhizhi didn't move, leaning on the corridor and looking down.
Look at Hong Hehe and the others helping Fang Lijuan find the lost watch.
At this time, Li Fen ran out of Yu Lu's room, and suddenly saw Zhi Zhi standing in the corridor?
She let out an "oops" and retreated into Yu Lu's room again.
The movement of the female educated youths alarmed the male educated youths in the next building. They stood in the corridor one after another, calling out to Zhi Zhi who was standing in the corridor, asking what happened.
Zhi Zhi told Fang Lijuan about losing her watch.
The male educated youths were astonished.
After a while, the female educated youths came back chirping.
The result was: Fang Lijuan's watch was not found.
The female educated youths stood in the corridor, you looked at me, and I looked at you.
Zhi Zhi said slowly: "Actually... I lost something too?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Zhizhi, what did you lose?" Hong Hehe asked.
Zhizhi said: "It's a necklace that Li Shu's parents gave me during the Chinese New Year."
"Where did you put it?" Hong Hehe asked again.
Zhizhi said: "I came down from the mountain in the afternoon, and I put the necklace in the drawer when I got back to my room. I went to see it just now...it's gone."
Hong Hehe raised his voice an octave, "Your necklace It disappeared even in the drawer?"
Zhizhi nodded.
The girls gasped in unison.
Everyone has seen Zhizhi's gold necklace, not to mention its preciousness, and it was given by her partner's parents, which is very meaningful!
Of course not easily lost!
Then, who took Zhizhi's gold necklace?
And this person entered Zhizhi's room and opened Zhizhi's drawer before taking it away? !
The female educated youths looked at each other in blank dismay.
Hong Hehe's eyes finally fell on Li Fen.
--At this moment, Li Fen was showing half of her face from Yu Lu's room, carefully watching the situation outside.
Hong Hehe sneered, and said loudly: "Our Seagull Island has always been calm, and there has never been such a thing as throwing things. Now that something has happened, we must thoroughly investigate it! Otherwise... hmph, this kind of thing It was obviously done by an outsider, if this person is not found out now, she will run away tomorrow with a gold necklace and a watch!" The
girls nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Shutao, Li Xiuai, and Zhang Chunhong are outsiders. In order to break their own suspicions, they took the initiative to say:
"How about, to prove our innocence, let's search
our body and luggage!" "I'm not afraid of being crooked! I agree!"
"I'm not afraid either, let's start with me!"
Hong Hehe turned to look at Li Fen, Said: "Li Fen, why don't we start with you?"
Li Fen was furious, "Why? What evidence do you have to suspect me? What right do you have to search me?"
Hong He He didn't give in at all, "Just because we lost valuables on Seagull Island! Just because you are here today!" "
When you didn't come here before, the atmosphere on my Seagull Island was very good, and the door would not be open day or night. Throwing things... It's not that Shutao, Xiuai and Chunhong have never been to our Seagull Island before, and we didn't lose things when they came before! Why did we lose things as soon as you came to the island today?" "
Yes Otherwise, why are you so nervous? If you didn't take it, we searched your body and checked your things... We can prove your innocence! Why don't you agree? Do you have a ghost in your heart?" Hong Hehe said loudly.
Li Fen said angrily: "Are you a police officer? What right do you have to search me? Even if you are a police officer, you can't search me without a legitimate reason!" "That's because you have a guilty conscience!" Hong Hehe
sneered , "Usually we are at odds with our Seagull Island, why do you have to come to our Seagull Island today? Who invited you? Who welcomes you?"
Li Fen pointed at Li Xiuai, "She invited me!"
Li Xiuai rose Blushing, "I, I didn't!" Li Fen roared, "I was struck by lightning for lying!" Li Xiuai cried angrily
, "Obviously you saw me and Shutao packing and changing clothes, you asked me to go Where to go, I said go to the town, you said you go too, come with us, okay, I said yes..."
"When we arrived in the town, Shutao and I met Lulu. Lulu took us to the pier, and you followed me... I must have invited you to Seagull Island! I'm not from Seagull Island, What shame do I have to ask you to come to Seagull Island to eat and drink? It's obvious that you are shameless... Lulu was afraid that we would make trouble outside, so she said forget it and left together..."
"Li Fen, tell yourself if you are shameless! Let me tell you, no matter what happens today, I will break up with you from now on! Let me tell you one more word, I am a bastard!" Li Xiuai said loudly cry.
Yu Lu and Jiang Shutao quickly persuaded Li Xiuai.
Li Xiuai cried again and said to Zhizhi: "Zhizhi, I will report to you later, I want to apply to the organization for transfer! You can arrange me in any brigade, as long as you transfer me from the third production brigade. , I don't want to see Li Fen in the future..."
Everyone glared at Li Fen.
Li Fen's face turned blue and red.
Zhang Chunhong said: "Well, let's start with me... everyone is a girl, it doesn't matter, as long as I can prove my innocence... I am willing to accept luggage inspection and body search." Li Xiuai and Jiang Shutao also said yes
.
The more magnanimous they are, the more reluctant the girls on Seagull Island are to do so.
Hong Hehe couldn't help but ridiculed Li Fen again, "Maybe only the person who stole other people's things will be so guilty that he dare not let others check his luggage and body search?"
Yu Lu hesitated and guessed: "Is it possible? There is another possibility...that is, she hid other people's things and deliberately refused to agree to the body search and luggage search in such a big way. We insisted on the search, but she refused. In the end, after we forcibly searched...Of course what They couldn't find it, and then she tried to find a way to take away the hidden stolen goods...
"In this way, she not only got benefits, but also had evidence to tell people outside how the people on Seagull Island bullied her... ...This will ruin the reputation of our Seagull Island again! It serves multiple purposes!
Hong Hehe slapped his thigh, "It must be like this! "
Then she pointed at Li Fen and cursed, "Li Fen, you are too vicious, aren't you? " "
Zhi Zhi stopped drinking, "He He, don't do this. "
--Although Yu Lu's speculation is very reasonable, Zhizhi thought that Li Fen is unlikely to be the suspect after careful review just now.
Hong Hehe stopped talking.
But Li Fen screamed, "Hong Hehe, Yu Lu, you are not afraid of mouth sores when you spread rumors indiscriminately? Let me ask you! Why do you suspect that I stole your things? Do I have the time to commit crimes? Since the island, I have been with Jiang Shutao and Li Xiuai... When will I have a chance to avoid people and enter Fang Lijuan and Bie Zhizhi's room?" There was
silence all around.
It was Zhi Zhi who considered this issue and erased Li Fen's suspicion.
Hong Hehe couldn't bear Li Fen's curse, and said loudly: "But you have a motive to steal! Otherwise...you know that no one on Seagull Island welcomes you, why do you still insist on going to the island? Li
Fen blushed, stared at Hong Hehe, and said loudly: "Speaking of it, Hong Hehe, you are the one who stole things, right?" "
What did you say?" Hong Hehe was also very angry Qing, "Say it again?"
The girls on Seagull Island chirped-"It can't be He He!" "
That's right, we absolutely believe in He He!"
"Li Fen is just trying to sow discord!"
"He He Don't be angry, we all hate Li Fen..."
"That's right, Li Fen said that on purpose!"
Li Fen sneered, "In the afternoon, we all went to the beach with our bags on our shoulders... Hong Hehe , Did you walk back alone at that time, you said you brought an extra piece of clothing for everyone... Did you enter Bie Zhizhi's room at that time? Did no one see you when you entered Bie Zhizhi's room ?"
Hong Hehe was dumbfounded.
Li Fen looked at Yu Lu and Jiang Shutao again, "Yu Lu, Jiang Shutao, you two are also suspicious... When we were at the beach together, Jiang Shutao's pants were dirty, and then Yu Lu, Li Xiu'ai and I accompanied Jiang Shutao back together But at that time, Li Xiu'ai and I didn't go upstairs, we waited downstairs after using the toilet..."
"Yu Lu and Jiang Shutao went upstairs together, and it took almost twenty minutes before they came down! Who knows what you two have done in these twenty minutes? Maybe you two entered Bie Zhizhi's room first to steal gold necklace, went to Fang Lijuan's room again?" Li Fen said angrily.
Yu Lu and Jiang Shutao also opened their mouths in shock.
"Enough!" Zhizhi said loudly.
Everyone was silent.
Zhi Zhi said loudly: "I announce three things. First, everyone go back to the room immediately, check your belongings and see if there is anything missing. Second, everyone tidy up your appearance... Third, stay for a while I will let Long Qiang and Shen Shuhua come over to take a look... So the second point, please pay special attention to not only your own appearance, but also the personal items in the house... If you don't want to be seen by their men, you should collect them as soon as possible Get up."
The girls looked at each other.
"Okay, let's disband first, everyone go back to the house and clean up!" Zhi Zhi took the lead to enter the house, changed her clothes and put away the personal belongings in the house.
Then, she left the room and walked to the end of the corridor.
Next door is the dormitory for young men.
The distance between the two buildings was only three meters, so they could hear the girls' quarrel just now.
Of course, they also heard what Zhi Zhi said.
Zhi Zhi walked to the end of the corridor, and said to the young men who could only see their figures clearly in the darkness, "Long Qiang, Shu Hua?" "
Here you are!"
"I'm here, Zhi Zhi. "
The two of them answered in low voices.
Zhizhi said: "Come here later with flashlights, you must check every room carefully... I always think it's-" She whispered a few words to the other side.
The young men responded with a sigh, went back to their rooms and changed their clothes, and came to the girls' dormitory with a flashlight.
After a while, Li Shu called Zhizhi's name downstairs and asked her what happened.
--At the foot of the mountain, he saw the flashlight on the second floor of the girls' dormitory, which lasted for half an hour. Feeling that something might have happened, he hurried over to ask.
Zhi Zhi stood in the corridor, pawing at half of the concrete wall and gesturing for him to come up.
Li Shu was a little hesitant, whether he had any taboos... But he seemed to hear the voices of the young men, so he came up with a flashlight.
As soon as he came up, he found that Shen Shuhua and Long Qiang were there.
"What happened?" Li Shu asked.
Zhizhi bit her ear and told him, "The chain your parents gave me is lost... Fang Lijuan's watch is also missing."
Li Shu was startled, and asked in a low voice, "Was it Li Fen?
" Shaking her head again and again, "She doesn't have time to commit the crime... I suspect it's a monkey."
"Monkey?"
Li Shu looked astonished.
Zhi Zhi said seriously: "Because I remembered a few details... that is, when I just came back from the back mountain in the afternoon, I took off the gold necklace and put it in the drawer. At that time, I was sure that I closed the drawer." "Later
, I went downstairs to talk to Xu Yunduo for a while, and then ran up to get the registered letter. At that moment, I found that the drawer was slightly opened... However, at that moment, I was in a hurry to go downstairs, and I could not I didn't think too much about it."
As he said that, Zhi Zhi said again: "Now that I think about it, what Fang Lijuan and I have in common is... She and I both have the back windows open. Think about it, if the necklace in my room wasn't stolen by someone, Then what else can I open my drawers and close the drawers after taking things away?"
--Every single dormitory in Haigull Island Educated Youth Station has two sets of windows, one is by the door and the front window ; One pair is on the back wall, which is the back window. In order to protect the indoor ventilation, Zhizhi likes to open all the front and rear windows.
The design of the front and rear windows is the same: they are double-sliding two-leaf windows, and a screen window is made to prevent mosquitoes. As a result, when opening a window for ventilation, only one window can be opened, the other half of the window must be closed, and the half-page screen window must be fastened at the same time.
"And I went to check just now. Although the bottom of the screen on my back window is not broken, it has been lifted. It's just that the screen is usually hanging down, so I can't tell if it's broken or when it broke." Zhi Zhi Said.
Li Shu thought for a while, "When we practiced and ran around the island, we did see monkeys many times...but they have always lived on the side of the cliff. We have been on the island for so long, and we have never been incompatible with us. Now It's the season of warm spring and flowers blooming again, wild fruits are everywhere on the mountain, why... they suddenly went down the mountain?"
Zhi Zhi shook her head, "I don't know about that...I also heard my uncles say from time to time recently, In the vegetable garden, the melons and fruits were always picked, and the vegetables were pushed down and trampled, but the fence was not damaged... Only then did I suspect that the monkeys might have come to steal it at night. A corner was destroyed, and the drawer was pulled open by someone... It feels like a monkey did it." "
Anyway, let Long Qiang and Shuhua go and have a look, they have more experience in this field..." Zhizhi didn't say a word After finishing speaking, she heard someone calling her name -
"Zhi Zhi, come in!"
It was Long Qiang's voice.
He was staying in Zhizhi's room with Shen Shuhua.
Seven or eight candles were lit in Zhizhi's room, illuminating the small room in detail, and they were still using flashlights... However, because the room was not big, the two big men, Long Qiang and Shen Shuhua, squeezed together. Inside, there is no room to turn around.
At this moment, Zhi Zhi wanted to go and see, but she couldn't squeeze in.
Long Qiang saw Li Shu at a glance, and immediately said: "Zhi Zhi, don't come in, Li Shu has good eyes, so it's the same if you let him come in and take a look." Hearing this, Li Shu glanced at Zhi Zhi
.
After getting Zhi Zhi's approval, he took off his shoes and entered the house with a flashlight.
The three big men murmured in the room for a while, and the flashlight shone on the screen of the rear window, and then on the bottom of the table... Finally, the three big men got together to discuss for a while, and left Zhi Zhi's room one after another. Room.
They walked into Fang Lijuan's room.
The three of them took turns to go in with flashlights, taking photos of every place carefully and conscientiously... which lasted about an hour.
Eventually, the three came out. As soon as Long Qiang opened his mouth, he immediately settled down, "It's really... just like what Zhizhi said, this suspect is a monkey!" After speaking, he spread his hands to show everyone what he had in his hands.
It was a piece of white paper with a few short, pale yellow hairs on it.
At the same time, Shen Shuhua also stretched out his hand, revealing a piece of white paper that was exactly the same as Long Qiang's. On the paper was a bunch of light yellow vellus hair about an inch long.
"Look, the monkey hair in Shuhua's hand was found in Zhizhi's room, and the monkey hair in my hand was found in Lijuan's room." Shen Shuhua explained.
The male educated youth and female educated youth immediately exploded!
"Monkey? It's been a monkey for a long time?"
"No way, why do monkeys only pick up expensive things and steal them?"
"Animals know what is expensive or not. I guess they stole it when they saw the necklaces and watches. "
So, our vegetable garden has been picked and stolen every now and then, and many vegetables have been trampled... Was it done by monkeys?
" Our corn has just been planted... when the corn sprouts and monkeys come to steal it... that's bad!" "
So?"
Li Fen's sharp voice suddenly rang out, "Hong Hehe! Why are you still Won't you apologize to me?"
Hong Hehe was stunned, and asked, "What?"
Li Fen said loudly, "Didn't you wrong me just now?"
Hong Hehe blushed, "I, I..."
Li Fen sneered, "If you don't apologize to me, I'll... go to the police station and sue you! Say you've slandered my reputation!"
Hong Hehe was furious.
In fact, everyone present was furious.
Zhizhi said, "Hehe, you really wronged Li Fen just now, so please apologize to Li Fen in front of everyone!"
Hong Hehe was so angry that his eyes turned red.
But she still listens to Zhizhi very much.
So she stood up with sobs and said: "Comrade Li Fen, I'm sorry... I wronged you just now, misunderstood you, I apologize to you!"
Li Fen felt elated, and said triumphantly: "In the future, don't be so Dog eyes look down on people."
Hong Hehe was so angry that he cried, looking at Zhizhi with a bit of complaint.
The other girls comforted Hong Hehe one after another.
Zhi Zhi said again, "Okay, it's getting late, everyone should take a rest...tomorrow we will discuss what to do, everyone should pay attention to closing the doors and windows when sleeping today." Everyone dispersed
.
Li Fen was also preparing to go back to Yu Lu's room.
Zhizhi stopped her, "Li Fen, please stay."
Li Fen stood still.
"Comrade Li Fen, this is not the first time I have told you that Seagull Island does not welcome you. So, why do you still come to Seagull Island?" Zhi Zhi asked lightly.
Li Fen blushed, "I..."
"It doesn't count if Xiu Ai invited you here," Zhizhi interrupted Li Fen, "Xiu Ai is a guest herself, how can she make decisions for the master?"
Hong He He immediately understood: this is Zhizhi helping her find a place!
She looked at Zhizhi with tears in her eyes, and waved vigorously at Zhizhi.
Li Fen, "I-"
Zhi Zhi interrupted Li Fen again, "Besides, Xiu Ai has made it very clear that she just invited you to go to the town together, she didn't invite you to Seagull Island... Li Fen, please come back directly, come here Seagull Island... What is the plan? If you can't give us a satisfactory answer, then tomorrow we can also send you to the police station, and ask the police comrades to help us ask you..." Hong Hehe said excitedly
: "Yes! That's it!" Then he gave Li Fen a hard look.
Li Fen was dumbfounded.
After a while, she said: "Farewell Zhizhi, you, you... I thought you were fair just now, why did you..." Zhizhi said, "Are you
kidding me? You are bullying us at Seagull Island No! You are not our friend, you come to eat our ready-made food, do not work or pay at all, and now you want to live with us? Li Fen, you are treating us as fools!" Li Fen said urgently
, "It's really Li Xiu'ai-"
"Li Fen!" Li Xiu'ai yelled angrily, "I dare to jump off the second floor to prove my innocence! I definitely never invited you to Seagull Island... Do you dare? You Dare you!"
Of course Li Fen didn't dare.
She rolled her eyes, looked at Yu Lu again, then pointed at Yu Lu and said to Zhi Zhi: "Yu Lu invited me too! Otherwise, how could I get on her boat!" Yu Lu was also very
angry Qing, "It took me eight lifetimes of misfortune to meet someone like you!"
Zhizhi smiled, "Actually, it's nothing...Xiuai, Shutao, Chunhong, when you go back tomorrow, tell me what happened today." Let me tell everyone exactly how Li Fen got to Seagull Island..."
Li Xiuai, Jiang Shutao and Zhang Chunhong responded loudly.
"Bie Zhizhi, what do you mean?" Li Fen asked loudly angrily.
Zhizhi couldn't help but laugh, "Since you don't think you did something wrong, why are you afraid of being told?"
"Don't you Zhizhi, you-"
Zhi Zhi didn't bother to pay attention to her, and first said to Li Shu and the male educated youths: "You go first!"
The young men left.
Zhi Zhi said to Lu again: "Yu Lu, you can't live with so many people, right? The unpopular person, let her go to the cafeteria to play on the floor! Let her go with the soldiers on the boat tomorrow morning, our Seagull Island Don't provide free breakfast to people who are not welcome."
Yu Lu responded proudly, and then said to Li Fen: "Please go to the cafeteria and play on the floor!"
Li Fen bit her lower lip, trying to make her voice as quiet as possible. Become more gentle, "Don't Zhi Zhi, I, I will sleep with you today! Your bed is 1.5 meters, more than enough to sleep two people." "No, I don't agree." Zhi Zhi directly refused
.
"Why?" Li Fen was a little desperate.
In fact, she decided to go to Seagull Island this time because she wanted to have a good relationship with Bie Zhizhi. After all, everything is booming in Seagull Island now, especially, what kind of community and brigade enterprise has been set up!
Li Fen no longer wants to stay in the third production brigade and carry a hoe every day.
She thought about it, and wanted to establish a good relationship with Bie Zhizhi... It would be best to mobilize the labor relationship and let her go to the twelfth production brigade, so that she could stay on Seagull Island, have first-class accommodation, and do some more work. Isn't accounting, cashier and other jobs happy and beautiful?
What's more, she still has a shameful thought - she came to Nanling Town to jump in the queue for three years, she can be regarded as seeing the warmth and coldness of people, and she even used herself as a beautiful girl to coax a group of young men to support her. . But as time went by, the young men saw her true face, and she had already used them up, and could not find a better resource.
However, the male educated youths on Seagull Island, Tao Rongzhi, Shen Shuhua, Chen Yuejin, Li Aiguo and Fu Mingyu are all high-quality young men!
She is already twenty-two years old this year, since there is no hope of returning to the city, she should have a serious relationship and find a partner. It's just right to live for two years and then bear fruit.
Now she has managed to find a chance to go to the island, and she can get close to Zhi Zhi, but she just... ca
n't bend down.
The main reason is that she has always felt that there is not much difference between herself and Bie Zhizhi: everyone is about the same age, and they are all female educated youths who went to the countryside in the same class. In terms of academic qualifications, they are all about the same. They all finished their sophomore year in high school.
Let's see, are the conditions similar?
So it should be good luck not to be Zhizhi!
Originally, Li Fen thought that she would have to endure humiliation and build a good relationship with Bie Zhizhi when she came to the island. When her relationship with Bie Zhizhi becomes as good as a best friend, she can ask Bie Zhizhi to transfer her over both explicitly and implicitly.
Especially, when she had a beach barbecue with other people, she thought so even more.
She didn't expect to meet Fang Lijuan and Bie Zhizhi and lose valuable things...
She was provoked by Hong Hehe, and she immediately revealed her true colors.
Now, Bie Zhizhi obviously doesn't like her...
This makes Li Fen a little flustered.
"You really want to ask me why?" Zhi Zhi laughed, "Because I hate you! So I will never live in the same room as you. I also hope that you will be a little self-aware in the future, no-- -Come again-we-we-sea-gull-island-! Okay?"
Then Zhizhi said to Lu again: "Yu Lu, I will trouble you to arrange Li Fen's accommodation... ...If Xiuai and Shutao can't help you, then let Lijuan and Hehe help you!"
-- Hong Hehe is 174cm tall, Fang Lijuan is 170cm tall, both of them have a strong and strong figure.
Li Fen did not expect such an ending-even though she went to the island with great effort, she ran in the opposite direction after a delicious meal...and she still had a lot to say Have time to tell Bie Zhizhi...
"Bie Zhizhi, then I can... use the floor in your room!" Li Fen said eagerly, "I don't mind using the floor!" --Just give her a chance to be alone with
Bie Zhizhi. ! She must have a way to impress Bie Zhizhi, and make Bie Zhizhi and her become good girlfriends who can talk about everything!
Zhi Zhi didn't even bother to look at Li Fen.
She said goodnight to the girls and went back to her room, closing the door and plugging it in again.
"Don't Zhizhi, wait a moment..." Li Fen actually wanted to rush into Zhizhi's room, but was held back by other girls.
Li Fen was so anxious that she yelled, "Don't Zhizhi! Don't Zhizhi, you treat me like this...you will regret it! Do you think I came to the island to humiliate myself? Don't Zhizhi...I tell you, I have so many things to tell you! There are so many things I want to tell you, if you don't listen...you will regret it!" Zhi
Zhi didn't even bother to pay attention to Li Fen outside the door.
She stretched out her hand to close the rear window, then put on her pajamas and got ready to go to bed...
The other female educated youths are not fools, as if they don't know Li Fen's style!
Fang Lijuan put her hips on her hips and asked Li Fen, "What you want to say to Zhi Zhi, is it... how to seduce a man?"
Li Fen was stunned.
She thought to herself, is her intention so obvious?
Fang Lijuan sneered, "Let me tell you, Li Fen! Our female educated youths on Seagull Island rely on themselves! They just don't rely on men! Put away your nasty thoughts, and go to the cafeteria to make a floor for me right now! Tomorrow morning Get the hell out of the island!"
As she spoke, Fang Lijuan carried Li Fen like an eagle catching a chick, dragged him downstairs, threw him into the cafeteria, and rubbed her on the ground. upstairs.
The world is finally quiet.
Early the next morning, Hong Hehe and Fang Lijuan got up early, went downstairs together, went to the cafeteria and arrested Li Fen who was still asleep. Fenla arrived at the pier, and when the soldiers were about to set off for the barracks in the town...
Hong Hehe and Fang Lijuan directly put Li Fen on board the boat!
Li Fen was so angry that he was half dead, and there was nothing he could do.
In particular, these soldiers have been walking in Nanling Town all year round, and Li Fen claims to be the best and most beautiful female educated youth in Nanling. These soldiers don't know about the scene where she was besieged by the educated youth on Seagull Island yesterday... So
she These soldiers have to put on a show in front of them.
"Okay, okay, I can go by myself, you two don't support me!" Li Fen said to Hong Hehe and Fang Lijuan affectionately.
Hong Hehe and Fang Lijuan looked at Li Fen with contemptuous expressions.
The two snorted softly, turned and left.
Li Fen smiled, and then smiled uncomfortably to the soldiers on the same boat: "Well... I have to go back to town early today to do some errands hahahaha, so they sent me off.
" Smile politely.
--It is half past five in the morning, even if it takes an hour to walk by water to reach the town, it is only half past six! And today is a rest day, what urgent things do you need to do?
In addition, the soldiers were more familiar with Hong Hehe and Fang Lijuan, so how could they not understand Hong Fang's expressions?
That's right, don't tell me if you see it through!
But for the real guests on Seagull Island, the treatment is much better!
Xu Yunduo and his wife, Jiang Shutao, Li Xiuai, and Zhang Chunhong had a very hearty breakfast, and then Skinny Monkey led them to the sea, where they picked up a lot of beautiful shells and conch... Zhizhi asked them to take these shells and conch
, He also asked Skinny Monkey to personally rock the boat to send them back to the town.
Of course, Li Shu was traveling with Xu Yunduo and his wife, and he wanted to take them to find a suitable residence.
After seeing off the guests, Zhizhi held the educated youth meeting.
Everyone gathered together to discuss and found out that Zhi Zhi and Fang Lijuan were not the only ones who lost something.
--Li Qingyu's pearl is gone! That pearl was worn and played with by her grandma, and it is a very precious souvenir for her.
--Gao Tiantian's hair clip is gone, and the pack of buttons she saved is also gone.
--Li Aiguo lost a pen, which was a gift from his father when he left home.
--Chen Yuejin's soap box full of coins disappeared, worth about five yuan.
...
Everyone didn't pay much attention to these little things, because they didn't watch them every day. After getting a warning from Zhizhi yesterday, he closed the door and counted them one by one, but he didn't expect to find that he had lost more or less things.
So early in the morning, everyone discussed countermeasures in the cafeteria.
We decided to divide into three shifts first:
some people maintain normal work and rest, and continue to work normally.
Some people set off to stay on the other side of the cliff to see what's wrong with the monkey's lair.
Some people are divided into day shift and night shift, and they take care of the dormitory and vegetable garden day and night.
In order to lure these monkeys to take the bait again, the girls contributed some flower hairpins, beautiful buttons, coins, etc., and put them on the desk in an empty room.
The young men sprinkled a thin layer of white flour on the ground and the windowsill of the rear window in the empty room, and opened the window deliberately.
Everything has been arranged properly, and it depends on whether any monkeys will really take the bait.
Chapter 280
It is not an easy task to drive away the monkeys on Seagull Island.
Monkeys are primates, although they are not as vicious as tigers, lions, leopards, wolves, bears, hyenas, etc... Well, there are no such large birds of prey on Seagull Island.
Intellectually, monkeys are far smarter, more alert, and better at using tools than other animals.
And they live in groups!
This makes people feel very headache.
First, Long Qiang and Shen Shuhua went to the cliff to guard the group of monkeys, and they didn't come back for three or four days. Their three meals a day were delivered by other educated youths in turn.
After they finished their observation, they immediately went back to the Educated Youth Station and told about the situation of the monkeys:
--The soil of Seagull Island was fertile and the climate was humid. In the past two years, not only the crops of the educated youths have had a bumper harvest, but also the wild fruits on the mountain.
The original monkey group had more food sources, and the reproduction was even stronger. In a short period of time, this group of small and medium-sized groups of thirty or forty monkeys developed into a large group of more than one hundred monkeys.
The original monkey king couldn't control so many gang members, so he gradually split from one monkey group to three monkey groups.
The original group of monkeys is still staying on the cliff under the control of the original monkey king.
But the other two new monkey groups were expelled by the monkey king.
Now, the two new groups of monkeys are also adapting. They fight all day long, probably for territory.
At present, it seems that the Educated Youth Station in the middle of the mountain and the Dabing vegetable garden at the foot of the mountain have become their targets.
The uncles in charge of looking after the vegetable garden also reported particularly bad news.
--At present, all kinds of vegetables in the educated youth vegetable garden are seriously damaged!
Monkeys don't eat vegetables like green vegetables, but they like to destroy them. Either step on the juicy and tender cabbage directly; or pull it out of the ground and throw it away!
Monkeys like to eat root and fruit vegetables, so they almost destroyed all overripe tomatoes, even eggplants, cucumbers, wax gourds, pumpkins, and loofahs that were just budding. It's just that they tore all the radishes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. that haven't swelled...
So these days, the vegetables that the educated youths eat are all vegetables that have been harmed by the monkeys - the uncles select some vegetables that are not so harmful, and take them back to eat, and the rest can only be used as feed for chickens and ducks Pig rabbit.
So much so that the dishes that the educated youth eat these days are all: fried sweet potato leaves and radish sprouts with cabbage, and some pumpkin vines may be mixed in it; ...
Really, the more people eat, the more angry they become!
And during these days, Zhizhi and everyone else did not fail to think of ways to stop the monkey group.
Zhi Zhi went to borrow thirty or forty dogs first.
These dogs can indeed guard the vegetable garden at night. As long as the monkeys came, these dogs would bark and chase the monkeys all over the mountain... But the educated youths were also completely sleepless from the noise!
But these dogs defecate everywhere...
the monkeys are even worse.
They can probably understand that it was the educated youths who brought these dogs so that they could not go to the vegetable garden to eat tender melons...so they even took revenge on the educated youths!
They threw stones and smashed the glass windows of the educated youths, bang bang bang! There is not a single intact window in the educated youth station! And they don't just smash glass windows, they throw rotten fruit in them...and sometimes their poo.
The educated youths had just replaced the glass windows, and sometimes within a day, they were smashed again!
Even if the educated youths have dogs, there is nothing they can do...
the dogs are running on the ground, and the monkeys are squatting on the trees, and the dogs have nothing to do with them.
The educated youths on Seagull Island are almost going to have a nervous breakdown because of these monkeys!
No, the monkey problem must be solved!
Otherwise, now they are just vegetable gardens and dormitory bases that harm the educated youth. What if they find the grafted fruit grown in the scientific research greenhouse? What if the crops grow in the future?
Educated youths regard scientific research results and food as important as their lives, and they must not accept being damaged by monkeys!
But when it comes to catching monkeys, Zhizhi is not an expert, so she left the monkey hunting to Long Qiang and Shen Shuhua, and then went to various islands to recruit senior hunters.
Fortunately, at the beginning of May, the crops had just been planted, and most production teams were in slack.
Zhi Zhizi immediately seconded forty or fifty hunting masters.
She handed these hunters over to Long Qiang and Shen Shuhua for management, and gave them a death order - all these nasty monkeys must be wiped out within three days!
More people are easier to do.
The hunters first spent a few days confronting these monkeys, and then found that the IQ of these monkeys was really high.
--They will have outposts before stealing vegetables, and they will deliberately attack to attract the attention of hunters, and then use the method of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to attract some hunters away. Next, the monkeys who are actually grabbing fruits and vegetables will rush into the vegetable garden...
And what's even more amazing: some monkeys will cover the monkeys who are grabbing vegetables, and they will stand on the trees and make all kinds of provocative calls Scream and throw things at the hunter!
Those monkeys who are in charge of robbing food are only responsible for robbing food wholeheartedly, but they can still fight humans! ! !
More than half of the monkeys snatched a lot of melons and fruits under the eyes of human beings without any risk; a small half of the monkeys fell into the hands of the hunters!
For a time, monkeys and humans reached the peak of anger at the same time!
--For humans, forty or fifty experienced hunters can't beat dozens of monkeys? ! This is simply a great shame!
--For monkeys, every time they grab melons and fruits, several monkeys will be lost... This is also a great shame!
The monkey started a crazier revenge!
The hunters also shouted and cursed that these monkeys must be dealt with!
Of course, humans can't really lose to these monkeys.
After a day and a night of observation, the hunters found that at night, the monkeys would take advantage of the cover of the night to try to rescue the monkeys captured by humans.
So the hunters thought of a way:
they asked the soldiers at the bottom of the mountain for help, and asked the soldiers to dig a lot of traps and make a lot of traps in a hidden place.
Then they spent another day fighting wits and courage with the monkey group, losing a lot of melons and fruits but also capturing more monkeys.
In this way, they caught a total of more than a dozen monkeys, accounting for less than half of the monkey group.
The night before, they deliberately loosened the bamboo cages that imprisoned the monkeys, and relaxed their vigilance, allowing the monkeys to cooperate with each other and rescued two or three... At dawn the next day,
some hunters beat gongs and drums to collect the remaining monkeys. The captured monkeys were transferred to the traps dug by the soldiers and locked up. Another part of the hunters stayed near the vegetable garden to keep watch and prevent the monkeys from approaching.
This time, the hunters who sent the captives went with dry food.
They lurked near the trap and waited until it was dark, until the hunter on the other side of the vegetable garden gave the news that "the monkeys have come to grab the fruits", and then waited patiently.
Soon, the monkeys who had eaten and drank enough and rested for a while appeared near the trap, eager to rescue those companions who were locked in the bamboo cage.
This time, however, the monkeys miscalculated.
Every captive monkey was locked in a bamboo cage alone, and there were more than four or five different kinds of traps hidden near each bamboo cage, all of which were made by the soldiers with the guidance of the hunters. Out.
The new monkey king of this new ethnic group is particularly fierce and tiger.
When the first batch of monkeys who came to rescue the captives fell into the trap, the monkey king called on other monkeys to come and grab the captives again! Unexpectedly, the second group of monkeys also fell into the trap...it summoned the third group...
In the end, the Monkey King was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he came to the rescue by himself -
but he also fell into a trap!
Now, the entire group of thirty-seven monkeys, together with the cubs still in the mother's arms... were all caught neatly!
Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief, and happily went back to report the letter.
Although it was still early in the morning, after receiving the letter, Zhi Zhi and the other educated youths immediately dressed and went downstairs to watch.
--The Monkey King, which was more than twice the size of the other monkeys, was locked in a special bamboo cage. How big is it? The body is as big as an adult Golden Retriever! But also fat, majestic, particularly bad-tempered.
Zhizhi went to the bamboo cage to look at it, and it was still grinning at Zhizhi's canthus.
Long Qiang smiled and said to Zhizhi: "Zhizhi, we are so lucky that we finally got rid of this group of monkeys in the last day you stipulated! And we already know where the monkeys' lair is, When it dawns tomorrow, we will go to their lair to search, maybe all the things we lost are there."
Hong Hehe clapped his hands happily, "We can finally have a good night's sleep from now on!
" The educated youths also chatted happily:
"In the future, we don't have to worry about these monkeys coming to destroy our vegetable garden again!" "
They also steal eggs from our duck pen, too bad!" "
What I'm most worried about is the future corn They are coming to steal after budding... Now it is really Amitabha!" "
In my opinion, we don't have to worry about the newly installed glass windows being smashed by them again in the future. We don't have enough stock in our warehouse!"
"In the future, I won't have to listen to those dogs barking all night..."
...
A hunter disagreed, "That's not necessarily the case. Don't forget that there are three litters of monkeys on this island. Except for the nest of monkeys living on the edge of the cliff, we have already killed one nest. Isn't there another one?"
The other hunter nodded and said: "After this brood of monkeys is captured, the other brood of monkeys that can't usually beat them will become the overlord, and it is estimated that they will continue to harm your vegetable garden." Hearing this, the educated
youths dumbfounded.
Zhi Zhi stared at the thirty or so monkeys, lost in thought.
--What to do with these captive monkeys?
kill?
She can't do this kind of thing, after all, these monkeys look too much like people.
keep?
Why keep it as a pet? But these monkeys are not cute at all. Not only are they fierce, but they also eat a lot...
She suddenly had a whimsical idea.
However, further elaboration is required.
Later, it was exactly as the hunters said.
It was just a day of calm.
During this day, the hunters touched the lair of the captive monkeys - a huge tree deep in the dense forest, and pulled out countless fragments and shiny things from the tree hole.
There is Zhizhi's gold necklace, Fang Lijuan's watch, Li Qingyu's pearls, Gao Tiantian and hair clips and various buttons, Li Aiguo's pen, and the coins Chen Yuejin saved...
In addition, there are leaders' badges, military cufflinks, razor blades, and even a few empty bullet casings, keys, padlocks, nails, pins, thimbles and other various things.
Almost all metal.
Everyone was stunned.
It wasn't until this that the educated youths suddenly realized that many of their things had been stolen by these monkeys!
Everyone brought all the things in the tree hole back to the Educated Youth Station, Gao Tiantian frantically spread all these small things on the table in the Educated Youth Cafeteria, and called all the soldiers from the bottom of the mountain to come up together. I held a lost and found meeting.
Only then did the soldiers realize that many of their personal belongings had been stolen by these monkeys.
Zhizhi took back her necklace, looked left and right, and checked carefully... Fortunately, the necklace was intact. She breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put away the necklace.
However, this peaceful and stable day only lasted for one day.
That night, the hounds brought by the hunters began to bark.
After dawn, Zhizhi and the others rushed to the vegetable garden to have a look, and they were so angry that they almost fainted!
--Originally, the vegetable garden was half destroyed by the previous group of monkeys. Last night, another group of monkeys came and destroyed the vegetable garden again.
Now only about 40% of the leafy vegetables such as cabbage, mustard greens, spinach, and water spinach in the vegetable garden are wilted, and 60% have been uprooted and thrown away.
Climbing vegetables were the most damaged, and almost none were spared.
Root vegetables, but all the stronger ones are pulled out of the soil, and most of them are left aside after eating two mouthfuls... You know, the educated youth vegetable garden is not the same as it used to be
. The hillside, but two whole short mountains!
There are so many vibrant and green vegetables, it is very seductive to look at. Everyone usually likes to run to the vegetable garden when they have nothing to do, because all kinds of vegetables that are planted neatly are also a beautiful landscape!
Unexpectedly, in this short period of seven or eight days, everyone's favorite vegetable garden was harmed by these monkeys like this...
Zhizhi was furious!
Fortunately, when a group of monkeys were captured, Zhizhi listened to the hunters and asked them to continue living on Seagull Island.
Now, Zhi Zhi once again issued a death order - all the monkeys must be arrested within three days!
However, this time the hunters did not take three days to catch the second nest of monkeys.
After all, the second nest of monkeys was expelled to a farther place because they could not beat the first nest of monkeys...
On the second night when Zhi Zhi gave the order, the second nest of monkeys was expelled. The hunters caught them all.
The place where they were caught was the trap where the first nest of monkeys was caught!
It can be seen that even if you are a monkey, there are smart ones and some not smart ones.
The second litter was smaller, with only twenty-nine monkeys. The monkey king is also thick and strong. Although it is similar to the monkey king in the first nest, it is not so fierce in momentum.
There were thirty-seven monkeys in the first litter, and twenty-nine monkeys in the first litter, and the total number of monkeys was sixty-six.
Sixty-six monkeys...
what to do with them?
Hong Hehe asked Uncle Hunter, "Uncle, how do we kill this monkey?"
Uncle Hunter waved his hand, "I don't know! We have never hunted monkeys before...if we caught a monkey before liberation, we would sell it to a craftsman. People, they go out to set up a monkey stall after training the monkeys! No one has ever killed a monkey!"
The other hunters also said: "Monkeys can't be killed, they can't be killed! They look too human, and they can't kill..."
Hong Hehe was also dumbfounded, "Then, so many monkeys... what should I do?
" Qiang thought for a while and said, "Should we put these monkeys on the bamboo shoot island?" The
bamboo shoot island was the isolated island where he and Gao Tiantian were trapped for three years. There are fresh water and plants on the island, these monkeys should not starve to death. At the same time, the topography of Bamboo Shoot Island also determined that it was absolutely impossible for these monkeys to escape.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
--right! This is a good way!
Zhi Zhi put forward a different opinion, "These monkeys are so fierce, it is better to send them to Snake Island or Poison Island." After saying
this, everyone was silent.
Zhizhi smiled and
said, "Do you think I'm too cruel?" She continued, "Actually, we didn't intend to attack Snake Island and Poison Island on the first day... After all, our scientific research projects are getting bigger and bigger, Seagull Island is becoming more and more mature. If the experimental base needs to be moved outside, the only choice is Cormorant Island. But Cormorant Island is too far away..." "Snake Island and Poison Island have both
. Fresh water, and not far from us, the soil conditions of these two islands should be similar to our Seagull Island and Justice Island. If the biosphere of these two islands can be improved... let the island not have so many snakes and Poison, maybe one day, we will be able to move the experimental base there?"
After a pause, Zhizhi continued: "The two nests of monkeys seem to be full of energy, and they are extremely fierce...Even we humans have to spend so much manpower, so much thought and energy to clean them up. Catch them... and the snakes on Snake Island and Poison Island are definitely not as smart as these monkeys! So..."
Hong Hehe was the first to raise his hand and responded loudly to Zhi Zhi, "I think what Zhi Zhi said makes sense! Let's do it like this!"
The other educated youths thought about it for a while, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that Zhizhi's method of fighting poison with poison is very good.
--Snake Island and Poison Island can't go on like this. These monkeys are so ferocious that it is impossible for them to get along with humans no matter where they are. Rather than doing this, it is better to let these monkeys go to Snake Island. Maybe in two or three years, the ecological circle will really change.
Everyone also nodded.
Zhizhi thought for a while and said, "However, before sending these monkeys to the island, we should give them a helping hand. Otherwise, they will be destroyed as soon as they land on the island... that would be bad." Long Qiang
asked "How can we help them? We can't even go to the island."
Zhizhi said: "We'll find a way to set fire to the mountain! Snakes, insects, rats and ants are afraid of fire. As long as we can burn a mountain...even if it's just one Burn a small piece of hill, at least there will be no more snakes, rats, rats and ants in that area. In this way, the monkeys will have a safe place to live. They can slowly expand their range of activities along the land "
Besides, Snake Island and Poison Island are the only islands. There are no people living on the islands, so setting fire to the mountains will not cause major losses." Zhi Zhi explained again.
The educated youths nodded again and again.
Hong Hehe said: "I just don't know what to do so that I can burn mountains without going to the island..."
Zhizhi smiled and said: "There are specialties in the art industry. Professional things should be left to professional people. ...Just like catching monkeys has to be left to hunter uncles, this kind of thing that burns mountains from a distance..." Hong
Hehe understood, and took over Zhizhi's topic, "...just Leave it to Platoon Leader Li to do it!"
Zhizhi blushed and smiled.
The thin monkey has already quickly run down the mountain to find Li Shu.
Li Shu arrived, and after listening to Zhizhi's explanation and everyone's additions, he quickly understood, and said, "It's not difficult, as long as we drive a small boat to the vicinity of Snake Island, and use overhead guns to shoot the Just go to Snake Island."
The educated youths were immediately happy when they heard this.
Hong Hehe clapped his hands and cheered, "It's really what Zhizhi said...professional things should be left to professional people!" "
I haven't finished."
Li Shu said: "The difficulty is that we can Use □□ as you like. So I have to report the situation to my superiors first, and then I can get □□ after the superior agrees."
Zhizhi pursed her lips and smiled, "I will send you a letter of application for assistance."
Li Shu nodded.
--With Zhi Zhi's application assistance letter, he didn't have to waste a lot of words when explaining to his superiors.
Zhi Zhi immediately went to the office, and in the name of the social enterprise of the 12th Production Brigade, sent a letter of application for assistance to the coastal defense force, claiming that she wanted to go to Snake Island and Poison Island to open up wasteland. On the premise of not causing personal injury, set fire to the mountain.
Then he also carefully wrote down the reason for burning the mountain, and guaranteed that Snake Island and Poison Island are uninhabited islands, etc...
After writing the application for assistance and handing it over to Li Shu, Zhizhi arranged for the educated youths to feed the monkeys every day.
Of course, the educated youths hated these monkeys to the core, so of course they wouldn't let them eat enough, they just let them eat some vegetables, leaves, melons and fruits that were ravaged by them every day. And according to Zhi Zhi's request, only feed them 20-30% full, and keep them from starving to death.
--Only monkeys that keep hungry all the time are the strongest monkeys in battle.
Three days later, Li Shu's superiors issued a reply: they can support the request of social enterprises of the 12th Production Brigade of Nanling Town!
--The male educated youths on Seagull Island originally wanted to follow to see the power of the gun, but Li Shu didn't allow it, for fear of accidents.
Therefore, Li Shu first led the soldiers to drive a few small boats, took the equipment and the guns they received, and went to Snake Island first... A few guns were fired, and a corner of Snake Island suddenly caught fire, accompanied by Rolling smoke!
However, since the climate of the nearby islands is warm and humid, the fire was automatically extinguished within half a day. There were only two or three hills that were burned, and the damage was almost negligible compared to the entire area of Snake Island.
Li Shu led the soldiers to the Poison Island again, and fired a few rounds in the same way.
The mountain fire on Poison Island was similar to that on Snake Island, and it fell silent after half a day...
and a few days later.
The educated youths rowed there almost every day to see the conditions of Snake Island and Poison Island. After confirming that the fire had been completely extinguished, they sent the first litter of the most ferocious monkeys to Snake Island in batches, and then sent the second litter of monkeys to Snake Island. Arriving at Poison Island...
At this point, the monkey disaster has completely subsided.
Everyone in Seagull Island also breathed a sigh of relief, and took the time to tidy up the vegetable garden first, feed the broken vegetables to the poultry, and then quickly replant some easy-to-cook rapeseed
...
This is the third time for the professor to go to the island to carry out 20-day field research and teaching activities.
After the day's lecture, Professor Huang had a long talk with Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, it's the beginning of May, and the national qualification selection for workers, peasants and soldiers has started and will end at the end of July. I've heard about you this time. Nanling has a total of six quotas! Two workers, two farmers, and two soldiers...so this time you must win the quota, you know?!"
Zhizhi nodded repeatedly.
She also heard a little about it.
--A few days ago, Zhi Zhi and Fu Mingyu went to the Lin City Committee to handle errands, and Fu Minglou had already taken the lead and said that "for the first time this year, six workers, peasants and soldiers will be allocated to Nanling Town".
Fu Minglou even told Zhizhi: "This time, there are six worker-peasant-soldier quotas in name, but in fact there are only three. The other three worker-peasant-soldier quotas are default quotas, one for workers and one for peasants." , a soldier."
He didn't want to be too explicit, so he said very implicitly: "Nanling Town has a total population of 30,000, and only three people were selected... The three indicators of workers, farmers, and soldiers are workers. There are no enterprises in the town. There may be flexible selection. Needless to say, the soldiers are internally digested by their coastal defense forces..." "
But the farmers... the competition is huge! There are 20,000 farmers in Nanling Town, and 7,000 are actually young people. (Including educated youths) or so, these 7,000 people have to compete for an 'agricultural' quota, think about it, how intense it is!" After explaining,
Fu Minglou said to Zhi Zhi: "So... ...The closer it is to the last moment, the more you have to pay attention to the influence..."
Hearing this, Zhizhi's heart moved, "Brother Fu, what do you mean?"
Fu Minglou lowered his voice and said, "I also heard people say Yes--Nanling had never had workers, peasants, and soldiers quotas. When I reported to you about the establishment of social enterprises, several leaders of the provincial party committee wrote the words "Comrade Bie Zhizhi will make great achievements" in my report. ...Later, someone from the province contacted me, saying that this year, Nanling will give a few quotas for workers, peasants and soldiers...you have already been appointed."
Zhizhi opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Fu Minglou said: "It's just that the official documents haven't been released yet, so don't say anything... In short, after you go back, you must continue to work hard, and at the same time keep everything low-key. If you release the news early, you are afraid that someone will Jealous of you, making rumors about you, and spreading them to the higher authorities...that would be bad, understand?"
Zhizhi nodded, and thanked Fu Minglou again.
Now hearing Professor Huang talking about it again, Zhi Zhi had a serious chat with Professor Huang for a while, and then sent Professor Huang back to his room to rest.
Zhizhi went for a walk on the beach alone.
What Professor Huang said just now made her feel restless for a long time.
Of course she wants to continue her studies.
But--
if she leaves... well, everyone has made a success of the scientific research work on the island, and it won't be a mess without her.
But social enterprises cannot do without her.
In this era, everyone's thoughts and concepts are too simple, and there are basically no ideas and concepts of business warfare and marketing. Therefore, for many business matters, Zhizhi can only come up with ideas on her own, with the assistance of other educated youths.
The current order that can be stabilized is:
--The big sea fish that Zhengyi Island supplies to Linshi State-owned Aquatic Products Company.
--Shiitake mushrooms from the state-run restaurant in the provincial capital.
--Orders of glutinous rice and salted egg yolk from Lanxiang Pastry Factory and Qimu Pastry Factory.
--In the first half of this year, Zhi Zhi led the educated youths to run around outside to get orders for duck down and rabbit skin.
--The rapeseed oil supply order that is currently being discussed with the state-run grain and oil station.
etc.
Zhizhi can almost be sure: if she leaves, the friends can only be conservative at best. Want to break new ground in your business? That was really hard.
Zhi Zhi sat on the big rock by the sea in a daze.
A bunch of wild flowers blooming in anger suddenly appeared in front of my eyes?
She turned her head and saw Li Shu's handsome face and bright smile.
For a moment, Zhizhi suddenly felt a little guilty.
--Ever since she knew that she might get the default quota of worker, peasant and soldier students, she has been worrying about what to do with social enterprises.
She never thought about what Li Shu would do once she left Seagull Island to go to another university for three years.
"What are you thinking so preoccupied?" Li Shu asked, "I walked over with such heavy steps that you didn't hear me!"
Then he asked again, "Is this flower pretty?"
"It's pretty."
Zhi Zhi took the bouquet and arranged it After a while, I smelled it again, "It smells so good!"
Li Shu's face was reddish, the corners of his mouth grinned to the base of his ears.
Zhizhi kept silent, just holding the bouquet and arranging the leaves silently.
Li Shu sensitively sensed that something was wrong with her mood, and couldn't help but gradually suppressed his smile, and stood beside her silently to accompany her.
After a while, he couldn't help asking: "Zhi Zhi, what happened?"
Zhi Zhi took a deep breath-
"Li Shu, I... really have something to tell you.
" The National Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Qualification Selection has begun. If I... I mean, if... If I am selected and I want to go to other places to study for a few years in college, you..." Zhi Zhi hadn't finished her sentence, Li Shu Already stunned.
