The so-called night school is actually to clean up the house next to the village committee and use it as a classroom for the night school, specifically to teach those who are illiterate in the village to read and calculate accounts, so that they can also write and calculate.

Most of the people in the classroom are middle-aged women, who are often the birthplace and conveyor belt of gossip.

If the news reaches them, it will reach the next village.

Seeing Bai Yuqing and He Wencai coming in together, these people's eyes immediately lit up.

"If you want me to say that this Comrade Bai is really beautiful, gentle and polite, I don't know who will be blessed to marry her in the future. ”

"I didn't see her and Comrade He come in together, so they wouldn't be two of them, right?"

When everyone heard this, there was gossip, and they immediately warmly beckoned Bai Yuqing to come and sit.

Bai Yuqing sat in the middle of a group of women with a red face, and asked as if disappointed: "Didn't Comrade Xiao Zhou come here?"

Someone shook his head, "Didn't you see Comrade Xiao Zhou coming, Comrade Bai, are you here to find Comrade Xiao Zhou?"

Bai Yuqing nodded, smiled slightly, and became more and more gentle and dignified, "I saw Comrade Xiao Zhou coming in this direction just now, I thought she came to night school." ”

Bai Yuqing used the excuse of looking for Zhou Niannian and quietly led the topic to Zhou Niannian.

He Wencai was foaming at the top of the lecture, but there were few students listening to the lecture below, knitting sweaters and hooking flowers abounded.

Then there is the group of gossip around Bai Yuqing.

"Comrade Bai, what are you looking for Comrade Xiao Zhou? Is there something urgent? If there is something urgent, I will help you go out and look for it. One of the women asked.

Bai Yuqing shook her head, "No need, thank you, auntie, it's not a big deal, I just want to talk about work." ”

As she spoke, she lowered her head inadvertently, and the moment she lowered her head, she pulled out the little jade Buddha she was wearing around her neck.

It is a jade Buddha about the thickness of a thumb, the whole body is transparent, transparent and with wisps of green, the Maitreya Buddha carved on it has a round chin, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, which makes people feel bright at a glance.

"Ouch, Comrade Bai, this little jade Buddha is so beautiful. ”

Bai Yuqing seemed to have just noticed that the Jade Buddha had fallen out, touched the Jade Buddha and stuffed it back into her clothes, and then smiled shyly, "This is given by my parents, and I have carried it with me since I was a child, and my adoptive mother said that when she saw me, I had this little Jade Buddha on me." ”

The gossip women's eyes immediately lit up and they smelled the unusual smell of gossip.

"Is Comrade Bai raised?" The second gossip woman lowered her voice, and there was excitement in her voice that could not be concealed.

Bai Yuqing hesitated and nodded lightly, "Hmm." ”

Immediately, someone thought of Zhou Niannian, "I heard that Comrade Xiao Zhou has a lost sister at home, and she also carries a little jade Buddha on her body." ”

"Yes, Comrade Xiao Zhou said that her sister still has a butterfly birthmark on her shoulder. The third gossip woman said, seeing Bai Yuqing touching her left shoulder with an uncomfortable expression, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Comrade Bai, don't you also have a butterfly birthmark on your shoulder?"

Bai Yuqing paused, and said softly: "There is such one, but ......"

Before she finished speaking, she was immediately interrupted excitedly, "God, it won't be so coincidental, you are Comrade Xiao Zhou's sister, right?"

Bai Yuqing's expression froze, shook his head and smiled, "How is it possible, if I had a sister like Comrade Xiao Zhou, I would wake up laughing in my dreams." ”

But the women's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"It's hard to say, there are so many magical things in the world. ”

"Talk to Comrade Xiao Zhou, and let her identify it. ”

A group of people were talking about it, Bai Yuqing sat quietly next to her, listening to their various speculations, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but sneer.

In just two days, the entire Mengjiang Village knew that Bai Yuqing might be Zhou Niannian's lost sister.

The story has a nose and an eye.

Qi Jiayan's expression was a little unsightly when she found out, "Who spread this? ”

A hint of ridicule appeared in Zhou Niannian's eyes.

How did those people learn about these news, it could only be revealed by Bai Yuqing, did she want to increase pressure on herself through the discussion of the people in the village?

I really can't wait, Zhou Niannian pouted, "Let them talk, go talk, and talk about it when my parents come." ”

As she spoke, her expression became a little solemn.

It stands to reason that Li Xiangxiu is in such a hurry, and she should rush over from Xincheng immediately after learning the news.

But now more than a month has passed, and her parents have not arrived.

Is it because the letter of introduction is not easy to open, or is there something else that is delayed?

Zhou Niannian was a little uneasy, but unfortunately they didn't have a phone here now, and there was no phone on the parents side of Xincheng, and writing letters was too slow, so Zhou Niannian had to go to the town to take a telegram.

Two days later, she received a telegram from Lu Qingfeng, saying that Zhou Hongshan and Li Xiangxiu had already bought train tickets for the Qingming Festival, and asked Zhou Niannian to be ready to pick them up at the station.

After receiving the telegram, Zhou Niannian breathed a sigh of relief, and if he could come, it means that there should be nothing wrong, so it's good.

After reading the content of the telegram, she found that Lu Qingfeng's payment was only one Qing character, and she suddenly remembered that time she called him a sentence about Brother Qing in order to tease Lu Qingfeng, and her face couldn't help but be hot.

Even if the telegram is charged according to the number of words, is Lu Qingfeng a person who is one or two words short?

It's clearly a deliberate reminder of her title.

Zhou Niannian's hand gently groped for the word, and Lu Qingfeng's expression appeared in front of him, and he suddenly felt crispy and numb in his heart, as if something had hit the tip of his heart.

There was a knock on the door, and Zhou Niannian hurriedly clipped the note with the contents of the telegram into the notebook on his desk, and then patted his somewhat hot face, "Please come in." ”

It was Bai Yuqing who came in.

Zhou Niannian frowned, and asked lightly, "Is there something wrong?"

Bai Yuqing took two steps forward with a nervous expression, stood in front of her desk, and said softly: "Deputy Director Xiao Zhou, I came to you to explain to you about the rumors in the village. ”

She said that her eyes were a little red, and she looked very guilty, "It's all my fault, I was too emotional when I learned that we might be sisters that day, and I accidentally said the wrong thing, but I didn't expect them to be known to the whole village." ”

"If you find it bothered, I'll explain it to them, and don't let them talk nonsense. ”

As she spoke, her hands tightly twisted together, she seemed to bow her head a little helplessly, but suddenly saw a note in the notebook on her desk.

A small corner of the note was revealed, and a word was written.

Bai Yuqing was stunned, and a look of unknown meaning quickly flashed in his eyes.
