Geng Zhiyuan was worried about the school holiday, so he forwarded the letter to Su Qing by Liu Jun. Su Qing had just finished the final exam when she received the letter, she took the letter and read it carefully, and when she saw the last sentence, she couldn't help but read it softly: "Enjoy the flowers in spring and the snow in winter, wake up and remember Qing, and dream also read Qing." ”

"After all, only Brother Geng can read my heart......" Su Qingfang's heart moved slightly, her cheeks flushed, and she secretly made up her mind: "I must fight for the sake of being admitted to university, for my father! for myself! and for the sake of continuing the fate ......of Brother Geng and me."

She put the letter on her chest, stood on the balcony and looked at the clouds and misty mountains in the distance, and whispered: "Brother Geng, I also know how to watch the sky and the clouds at dusk, and I think of you when I walk, and I think about you when I sit!"

Liu Yan saw her daughter's lovesick and sad look, and secretly shook her head and said, "Xiao Geng is such an excellent young man, there must be many girls who like it." When Qingqing was admitted to university, I am afraid that he would have found a daughter-in-law earlier. Pity my Qingqing, I can't like anyone, I have to like a man who is thousands of miles away and can't be seen if I want to. Alas......"

The mother and daughter were thinking about their own thoughts, and Liu Jun suddenly knocked on the door.

"Auntie, is Xiaoqing here?" Liu Jun entered the door and looked around for Su Qing's shadow.

Liu Yan pointed to the balcony: "Thinking about others there." ”

Liu Jun took out a wad of money from his pocket and said with a smile: "Others also think about her." ”

"Where did you get the money?" Liu Yan frowned slightly, vigilantly.

"The money sent by Geng Zhiyuan was sent to me and handed over to Xiaoqing. Liu Jun was about to go to the balcony, but Liu Yan stopped him and said, "Why did Xiao Geng give Xiao Qing money?"

"Hehe...... Liu Jun said with a smile: "Geng Zhiyuan is Xiaoqing's teacher, shouldn't the teacher care about the students." ”

"Hmph!" Liu Yanxin said: "What teacher and student? Do you think I don't understand? Don't forget that I was also young." ”

Liu Jun came to the balcony, handed his cousin a wad of money, and said, "Geng Zhiyuan sent it to you, two thousand yuan! ”

"Huh!?" Su Qing took the stack of money tremblingly, and muttered, "Brother Geng...... Why are you still ......thinking about me?"

Liu Jun hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be sad, he has given you so much money, isn't his mind very clear?"

"yes, I see. Su Qing held the stack of money tightly, and said silently in her heart: "Brother Geng, you must not find another woman, you must wait for me!"

Two thousand yuan is equivalent to Liu Yan's salary for one quarter, and in surprise, she grabbed Liu Jun and asked, "Xiao Geng gave Qingqing so much money, what does he want to do?"

"Auntie, the income of the design institute is much higher than that of our production enterprises, Geng Zhiyuan said that he can get twenty or thirty thousand yuan a year, and a few thousand yuan is trivial to him. Liu Jun tried his best to explain.

Liu Yan shook his head and said: "I don't believe it, twenty or thirty thousand a year? He is not a leader, how can he earn so much money when he is young?"

Liu Jun said with a smile: "The design institute has a high bonus, and some senior engineers can earn 100,000 yuan a year." His money is nothing. ”

"Is it so high?" Liu Yan said with mixed feelings: "Anyway, Xiao Geng has to thank people for sending us money, he is really a good boy with a heart." ”

Liu Jun said secretly: "Looking at my cousin's infatuation, I can't figure out that Geng Zhiyuan will be your son-in-law in the future." Isn't he supposed to give you mother and daughter money to spend? ”

In the Spring Festival of 1999, Geng Zhiyuan had a good taste and was very happy. No girl came to him, and he had no sweetheart to turn to. In addition to eating and sleeping during the Spring Festival, when he went to his cousin's house to pay New Year's greetings on the third day of junior high school, his cousin Geng Yan pulled him aside and said: "I went to Baihua Hotel for dinner last autumn, and when I went out after eating, I ran into Wei Xiao and her boyfriend. ”

The cousin mentioned Wei Xiao again, and Geng Zhiyuan smiled bitterly: "She has nothing to do with me anymore." ”

"I know. Geng Yan continued: "That day, she followed her boyfriend to the hotel dance hall, but she was taken by Liu Xiaodao from Hexi, and led a group of people to block her and prevent her from leaving, so she had to make friends with her. ”

Geng Zhiyuan's heart moved, and he asked anxiously: "Sister, is it at the end of September?"

"Uh......" Geng Yan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, it seems to be the twenty-seventh or eighth, I don't remember it clearly." ”

September 28th was the night when Geng Zhiyuan sensed Wei Xiao's danger. After all, he couldn't let go of Wei Xiao in his heart, even if she was already married.

Geng Yan smiled: "His boyfriend was scared at the time, and he said that he was from the city government and asked Liu Xiaodao to let him go." Haha, Liu Xiaodao is a ruffian hooligan, and it doesn't matter what kind of government cadre he is. ”

"I guess my sister must have helped. Geng Zhiyuan said firmly.

Geng Yan slapped him and said, "It's still my brother who understands me." Although Wei Xiao is sorry for our family, she is also our old classmate, and I will not watch her being bullied and stand by and watch. ”

"Liu Xiaodao!?" Geng Zhiyuan said disdainfully: "I saw someone who beat him once back then, and now he drags it like this?"

"Drag a fart!" Geng Yan chirped, "I asked my brothers to throw all their bastards into the river and take a cold shower." ”

Geng Zhiyuan said in his heart: "The demeanor of the old lady has not diminished back then. It's a shame that there is no water in the river in winter, otherwise Liu Xiaodao's gang would really have to feed Wang Ba. ”

"It's a pity Wei Xiao!" Geng Yan sighed: "How did such a beautiful girl choose a wreck." ”

"Sister, I'm not married to someone else, so she has nothing to be sorry for me. Geng Zhiyuan advised: "If she is in trouble, you can help her." ”

"Okay! It's still my brother who is bright, much better than her man!" The cousin's praise made Geng Zhiyuan smile bitterly, in the eyes of his sister, of course he was much better than outsiders.

In 1999, his younger brother Geng Zhiwei had already reached his junior year and was about to graduate in one year. When Geng Huaiguo asked about his youngest son's work intentions, Geng Zhiwei said passionately: "Of course I want to go to Shanghai, which is the most advanced, prosperous and competitive city in China in the future, and I want to go there to explore." ”

Geng Huaiguo was very sad that his youngest son was reluctant to return to his hometown to work, and he really wanted his youngest son to return to his side and arrange for him to find a stable job in the telecommunications bureau. It's a pity that the son can't help his father and mother when he grows up, and the son has his own ideas when he grows up, and his parents can't influence the direction of his life.

"You go to Shanghai, what should Xiao Luo do?" Geng Zhiyuan heard from his younger brother's words.

"Alas!" Geng Zhi said deflatedly: "She wants me to go to Chongqing, and she doesn't want to go to Shanghai with me." I'll talk to her about it. ”

Geng Zhiyuan had a sudden break in his heart, looking at this situation, there was a chance that his younger brother and Xiao Luo would break up. It's a pity that Xiao Luo, such a good girl brother doesn't cherish it, and he is afraid that he will be retributed in the future.

In the fourth year of junior high school, Lu Yi invited Geng Zhiyuan to her house as a guest. Lu Yi's family is far away in the countryside of Haibin County, and the short-distance passenger lines are almost all stopped during the Spring Festival, so Geng Zhiyuan has no choice but to ask his father for help, and contact a Santana car to send him to Dianzi Village, where Lu Yi's family is located.

Dianzi Village is the closest village to the sea in Haibin County, with six or seven hundred households in the village, which can be regarded as a large village. Dianzi Village is surrounded by saline-alkali land, which cannot grow crops, and the only good land can barely solve the problem of food and clothing, so the village is a well-known poor village.

Lu Yi's family lives in the north of the village, and the courtyard surrounded by adobe walls is more than 300 square meters, and there is a row of adobe thatched houses facing south on the north wall of the courtyard.

The driver's surname is Li, and he is a few years older than Geng Zhiyuan, so Geng Zhiyuan politely calls him Brother Li. Brother Li parked the car outside Lu Yi's courtyard, and Geng Zhiyuan pushed the car door and got out of the car. Lu Yi and Lu Wenwu, sisters and brothers, had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when they saw him get out of the car, they hurriedly stepped forward.

Lu Yi was wearing a beige windbreaker, and she was quite charming and touching under the thin powder. Lu Wenwu also put on the newly bought down jacket and greeted Geng Zhiyuan happily.

"Lu Yi, this is the driver Brother Li. After meeting, Geng Zhiyuan first introduced the driver.

At the end of the nineties, there were not many private cars. As a third-tier city, private cars are even rarer. During the Chinese New Year, it is already a face-saving thing in the countryside to have a small car to come to the house.

Lu Yi's sister and brother greeted the driver and accompanied Geng Zhiyuan into the hospital. Lu Yi's parents have also come out of the house to greet them in the courtyard, both of them were born in 1950, as old as Geng Zhiyuan's mother, and they are only 49 years old this year. It's just that the two of them work in the fields all day, their skin is tanned and rough, and they look like they are in their sixties, far older than Gao Shuying.

After meeting, Geng Zhiyuan said respectfully: "Uncle, aunt, give you New Year's greetings." ”

Geng Zhiyuan is the boss of the daughters of the old couple, how dare they be the slightest slack, although they don't say any clever words, but they also greet each other with a smile: "Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"

After entering the house, Geng Zhiyuan frowned. Lu Yi's family is really poor enough, there are few decent pieces of furniture in the house, tattered sundries are piled everywhere, only a table of eight immortals is still new, placed in front of the kang to entertain guests.

The guest and host sat down and drank tea and chatted a few words, Geng Zhiyuan secretly glanced at Lu Yi, Lu Yi got up knowingly and said, "Mom and Dad, I'll take Geng Zhiyuan to the village for a walk." ”

Lu Yi's father was puzzled: "It's such a cold day, it's icy and snowy, what's getting better in the village?"

Lu Yi prevaricated: "I can't go far, I'll be back soon." ”

The two of them went out together, and Geng Zhiyuan said: "You take me around the village casually, I haven't been to the countryside, I want to take a look." ”

Lu Yi was surprised: "You haven't been to the countryside?"

"I grew up in the city, isn't it normal that I haven't been to the countryside?" Geng Zhiyuan explained.

"Your grandparents' house, grandparents' house is not in the countryside?" Lu Yi still didn't believe it.

"Our family has lived in the city since the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and my mother's family also moved to the city from the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, where do you say I can find a rural relative?" Geng Zhiyuan smiled helplessly.

"People say that if you count three generations up, your family is not a farmer, but your family is really not. Lu Yi laughed: "You are really an authentic city person." ”

Geng Zhiyuan saw her sarcastic herself, pointed to the path with his hand and said, "Let's go, we are all waiting for the two of us at home." ”

Lu Yi couldn't help laughing and led Geng Zhiyuan to wander slowly around the village. Geng Zhiyuan glanced at the new tiled houses on both sides of the road and said, "Your family is poor in the village, and other people's houses have been built into brick houses." ”

Lu Yi's expression darkened, "We have a lot of children, and Xiao Wu spent a lot of money to go to the martial arts school a few years ago. ”

Lu Yi's parents also seem to be patriarchal, but their son is quite promising, and he did not bully his sister, but knew to protect his sister from bullying.

The two men spun around and finally turned to the side of the road. Geng Zhiyuan stomped his feet and asked, "I've been in the Yuxiang restaurant for more than two months, how do you feel?"

Lu Yi snorted and said, "I signed up for a finance and accounting class and am studying." However, Wang Jin's account is very problematic, and many of the items in it are fake, and he didn't spend so much money at all. ”

"Insatiable!" Geng Zhiyuan angrily kicked off a piece of ice skate under his feet, looked into the distance and admonished: "You watch more in the restaurant, learn more and talk less, try to learn management skills, and master the purchase channels." Maybe I'll open my own store next year, and then you'll be the store manager, and you'll have to stand up to it. ”

Lu Yi was taken aback: "Ah!?store manager?me...... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”

"If you can't do it, you have to do it, and you don't want to be poor for the rest of your life, right?" Geng Zhiyuan pointed to the village and said: "I came here today, and I understood why you have to find a scumbag like Xiao Huawu, because you want to get rid of the poor original family through him." ”

Geng Zhiyuan broke her mind, Lu Yi lowered her head and broke the jar and said: "Yes, you guessed very right, I was trying to get his money at the time." I'm a shameless bad woman!"

"Face is earned by oneself, not by others. Geng Zhiyuan patted her shoulder lightly with his right hand, stared at her with blazing eyes and said, "Follow me, you will become rich." ”

Lu Yi raised his head in surprise when he heard this, and stared at Geng Zhiyuan with a pair of eyes wide. After a long while, she nodded firmly: "Thank you, Zhiyuan! I will not let you down if I work with you." ”
