When the news of Hu Jianqiang's election as the new village director of Huangni Village came back, Hu Mingchen's house once again became a gathering place for the surrounding neighbors, and all the neighbors gathered to congratulate him.

It is his honor that Hu Jianqiang can become the village head, but it is also the glory of the three groups. For so many years, the village chief has been served by people from the second group, and the two village directors after the reform and opening up have been in the second group, and the previous village chiefs were in the first and fourth groups. In the power struggle in the village, the three groups were always marginalized.

Now it's okay, and finally it's the turn of the three groups of people to be foreign, and everyone is naturally happy.

Not to mention anything else, Hu Jianqiang became the village director, and in the future, it would be much more convenient for the people in the three groups, and they didn't have to climb the slope for 20 minutes each time to find Wu Luhui, on the contrary, they wanted to find the village chief to do things with dignity.

Speaking of which, for Hu Jianqiang to be the village director, Hu Mingchen is the most concerned, but Zhong Ying is the most proud.

His youngest son became the leader of the village, and the old lady could hardly hide her pride, seeing everyone say that his son was the village chief, and, to the people in the village, the tone of her speech began to change subtly unconsciously.

Just when the township issued the appointment of Hu Jianqiang, Hu Mingchen himself also finished the final exam and officially graduated from primary school.

"Hu Mingchen, you will go to the city to study next semester, we are so reluctant. On the day of the distribution of the report card, Mao Feng gloomily accompanied Hu Mingchen out of the classroom.

Teacher Ma Yi has announced just now that Hu Mingchen's score is double 100 perfect scores, and he will not continue to study in Duge Middle School, but will choose to continue his studies in the third middle school in the city. Based on his primary school graduation exam results, it is no problem to enter the city's No. 3 Middle School.

"Man, I'm just going to study, it's not like I'm not coming back, why are you so sad, I'll still come back to play with you when I have time." Hu Mingchen put his arm around Mao Feng's shoulder and said.

"To put it lightly, in the past half semester, you have been in the same class with us, but you have so little time to play with us, let alone after you go to the city, it is even more impossible. Luo Zhizheng walked beside him and lowered his head.

"Aren't I busy with something, and I often play with you at school. Hu Mingchen said apologetically.

In the past six months, or a year, Hu Mingchen has really hardly played with the three of them after school, and he either rushes home or goes to the cinema after school, and sometimes even goes directly to the city for a few days.

On the other hand, Hu Mingchen also feels that the children's games with them are indeed a bit LOW, Hu Mingchen can't lie on the ground with them and smash cardboard, nor can he squat in the corner with them to play marbles, his time has to be put on more precious things, such as making money, such as reading books, such as practicing boxing. In short, if Hu Mingchen wants to play that kind of little doll game, he really can't do it.

In the classroom, playing with each other, Hu Mingchen felt that it was okay. Therefore, there is a situation of gradual alienation from them.

"In school, a lot of the time, you don't care about us. Gu Xiaoqi said.

"Hey, hey, what the hell are you guys doing, why are you all doing it like life and death. The three of you are also going to junior high school, so you study hard, and when the time comes, you can come to the city and study high school with me. I'm waiting for you, and no matter where you go in the future, the three of you are my friends and brothers, and my family is still in Duge. Hu Mingchen jumped up the stairs to the front of the three people.

"Don't talk nonsense, where can we rely on the schools in the city, to be honest, even if we can afford to take the exam, we can't afford to study. Mao Feng threw the canvas schoolbag behind his shoulder.

"It's bullshit, you just need to take the exam, how can you not afford to study, I'll give you a sentence here, as long as you can take the exam, I'll help you out, it's always okay." There is no problem with tuition and living expenses, and if there is mine, you will have yours. What Hu Mingchen said did not match his identity, but in order to motivate them to be positive, Hu Mingchen didn't mind making such a promise, and he also had the strength to fulfill it.

"Are you serious?Hu Mingchen, you won't fool me, right?" Luo Zhizheng asked suspiciously.

"Damn, when did I never say anything? When did I deceive you? I Hu Mingchen absolutely did what he said and did what he said. Hu Mingchen jumped up and slapped Luo Zhizheng on the head.

"It's true, in my memory, Hu Mingchen has never been a scalper. Mao Feng scratched his head and said.

"That's it, so, it's up to the three of you to hang your own hair, whether it's a dragon or a tiger, and you will soon know that as long as you can be admitted to high school, not to mention just high school, I will even cover college, how about it, it's interesting enough, right?"

"Hu Mingchen, what about me, can I also enjoy this treatment. Gu Xiaoqi rushed forward.

"Gu Xiaoqi, your family is not out of money, what kind of gun are you robbing us of?" Luo Zhizheng chased after Gu Xiaoqi.

"My family is rich, my father doesn't sell pigs anymore, and my mother fell down the stairs and spent all her money. Gu Xiaoqi shook off Luo Zhizhengdao.

"Don't fight, treat everyone equally, you can all do it, it's best if the three of you come together, get a dormitory when the time comes, and we will live together." Hu Mingchen waved his hand.

Gu Xiaoqi's mother climbed the stairs to hang the bag valley, slipped and fell down the stairs, Hu Mingchen knew about this, he heard Gu Xiaoqi say it, for this reason, Hu Mingchen also bought some things and went back to visit him once.

Gu Xiaoqi's mother can't work in the fields, so his father can only stay at home to take care of the old and young, while taking care of farm work. In terms of conditions, it is indeed a lot lower than before, as can be seen from Gu Xiaoqi's lack of pocket money for a long time.

"Okay, then we must study hard, try to be in the top few, and strive to be admitted to the city to continue studying. Mao Feng said with a stiff chest.

Luo Zhizheng and Gu Xiaoqi also expressed their determination and hope together.

That being said, Hu Mingchen still knows that it is not very difficult to be admitted from Duge Middle School to high school in the city, anyway, there are really only a handful of students who are promoted from Duge Middle School to county middle school and city middle school every year.

"Let's go, I'm having a treat today, let's have a good meal, I'll listen to you today, you can eat whatever you want, don't be polite. Hu Mingchen turned around, raised his hand, and said heroically.

"Wow, that's great, I'm going to think about what I'm going to eat. Gu Xiaoqi jumped up excitedly and said.

"I'm going to eat instant noodles and drink soda. Luo Zhizheng said.

"Eat and drink soda? Do you still have some pursuits, is this good? Why do you have to eat a big meal? Hu Mingchen had a treat, and after eating it once, I don't know when the next time will be. Gu Xiaoqi protested with disdain.

It's no wonder that Luo Zhizheng would propose like that, for people in the city, instant noodles and soda are not new things, but for Luo Zhizheng, under normal circumstances, he can't afford to consume such ordinary things, and he is reluctant to buy them at home.

"I think, let's go eat mutton noodles, the credit union has opened a mutton noodles shop there, I heard that it is delicious. Mao Feng said.

"It seems that none of you can reach a unified opinion, so in this case, I propose, let's go to the Yi people's restaurant to eat, his family has Qingshui fish made from fish caught from the Qingshui River, how about we eat fish?"

To be honest, whether it is Luo Zhizheng's idea or Mao Feng's proposal, it is nothing, it doesn't cost a few dollars, and it doesn't cost ten yuan per person.

Since Hu Mingchen has the sincerity to invite a good meal, he simply went directly to the restaurant.

Hearing that Hu Mingchen was asked to go to the Yi restaurant, the three young men looked at each other and were stunned.

They have never gone to a restaurant to eat, let alone with their friends, even with the adults in the family. So Hu Mingchen's proposal scared them a little bit.

"What are you doing standing stupidly, don't worry, I can afford it, I won't mortgage the three of you there without money to pay the bill after eating. Luo Zhizheng doesn't like instant noodles, after eating, each of you will report another box of instant noodles and go back, let's go!"

"Oh...... Okay, let's go, I'll follow the boss back to the restaurant next time. ”

Yi people restaurant, Hu Mingchen is not the first time to come, he and Qin Hu have come, and they have also come when they entertained Manager Zhang of Wencui Industrial Co., Ltd., so the boss recognized him and did not refuse to entertain because they were four little dolls, not to mention, Hu Mingchen still paid first, and did not wait until he finished eating.

There are no adults here, the four little guys eat quite arrogantly at this meal, not only gobbling up and feasting, without thinking about the image, and even, the four of them also engaged in two or two small wines soaked by the boss with prickly pear.

Drinking was not Hu Mingchen's proposal, it was asked by Gu Xiaoqi's guy, and the boss only dared to give them two taels, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it if something happened too much.

The two or two wines are divided into only five yuan per person, which is not enough to make them drunk, but after drinking, except for Hu Mingchen, it is true that everyone is red-faced and red-eared.

Since they have graduated from primary school and are all little men, Hu Mingchen tolerated them for a while.

After eating and drinking, Hu Mingchen went to the store next door, bought three boxes of instant noodles, and let them carry them home.

"Can you go back by yourself?" Looking at the three red-faced little guys, Hu Mingchen asked with a little worry.

Hu Mingchen could see that none of them were drunk, and if they were all drunk, Hu Mingchen wouldn't need to ask that.

"No problem, nothing at all, it's not dark yet, let alone walking, I can run back. Mao Feng burped and said contentedly.

"I was so full that I could only walk, and I couldn't run. Luo Zhizheng touched his round belly and said.
