……

As soon as dinner was over, Captain Zheng came to the door.

As soon as Feng Yuzhen saw Zheng Duowang enter the door, she immediately looked at the four brothers and sisters, "Qiao Rin bullied which of you again......

See!

It's all out of the shadows!

"Ahem, cough, old Sister Feng, look at what you said, you didn't bully, you didn't bully!"

Captain Zheng hurriedly opened his mouth, "I have something to ask you for today!"

"Please?"

Feng Yuzhen didn't understand, "I'm an old lady, what do you ask of me." ”

"It's mainly about Xingwen. ”

Captain Zheng responded, and looked at Sanbao again, "Sanbao, didn't you tell your family about this?"

"No, I don't. ”

As soon as she came back, her grandmother talked to her about other things, and she forgot about it when she got out, "Grandpa Zheng, you can just tell grandma and eldest brother directly." ”

"What's the matter?"

Feng Yuzhen wondered, and the three brothers next to her were also puzzled, and they all looked at Captain Zheng.

"That's the old Sister Feng, I saw Sanbao in the village this evening, mainly, I told her that I wanted Xingwen to go to my house to tutor the third child, Sanbao is small, she said she can't get any ideas, I have to ask you ......"

Captain Zheng was patient, "Sister Feng, the third child in the city goes to school early, and he is in the first year of high school, Xingwen is not the third year of high school, it is just right to teach the third child, I think, when your family is not busy, let Xingwen go to teach the third child two lessons, one week, teach three or four classes, I will give five cents for one class, do you think?"

"Five cents for one class, four lessons a week is two dollars!"

Feng Yuzhen was slightly surprised, "You can only earn a dozen yuan a month by working as a handyman in the county town, and you can earn ten yuan a month for this lecture?"

"Knowledge is priceless. ”

Captain Zheng said, "Sister Lao Feng, to be honest, among these children in our village who go to high school, they are good at Xingwen's study, and he has a good chance of being admitted to university, and he doesn't study because of the family conditions, which is quite a pity, I think let's let Xingwen make up for the third child, although the money is not much, you can also subsidize the family, you say yes." ”

"But your family Tianlin, he's not a teacher. ”

Feng Yuzhen asked, everyone in the village knows that Captain Zheng's eldest son, Zheng Tianlin, has a career and is a teacher in the town's high school, isn't it more suitable for him to make up for the class?

"Old Sister Feng, I also want my family Tianlin to come back to teach, but he is now in the third class of high school, and he is busy with ......."

Captain Zheng shook his head, "Don't let him come back to make up for the third child, it's just that I usually have a hard time letting him go home for a meal, and every day is either teaching or studying, Limei thinks he still has to go to school to see, and he can't count on it." ”

"Teacher Zheng is very busy. ”

Ma Xingwen listened and nodded, "Although he doesn't lead our class, he has always been a young teacher focused on training by the school, and he is very good." ”

Zheng Tianlin is also a celebrity in Hecun, he entered the town high school to teach after graduating from the normal school, and he is an advanced teacher every year, as long as the children who are admitted to high school in ten miles and eight villages know him, even if he has not been his student, he will be honored as Teacher Zheng when they meet, which is definitely the glory of Zheng Duowang's family.

Although Ma Xingwen is not familiar with Zheng Tianlin, he admires and envies Zheng Tianlin very much, and if he has the opportunity to take the examination, he also wants to ...... Hi, don't want to!

"Oh, what's not good, he's a teacher, then he has to take good students!"

Captain Zheng waved his hand casually, only pride flashed in his eyes: "Forget it, let's not mention him, I can't point to it, Sister Feng, you see Xingwen's ......"

"My old lady can't be the master of this. ”

Feng Yuzhen looked at Xingwen, "Boss, what do you see?"

Ma Xingwen's lips pursed slightly, he couldn't hold back as early as when he heard that a class was five cents, but when he looked at Captain Zheng, he controlled his emotions again, "Grandpa Zheng, I'll give you an answer tomorrow." ”

"Okay, no hurry!"

Captain Zheng nodded, "Xingwen, grandpa knows that Shengwu and Sanbao have both had misunderstandings with the third child, but you remember, it is better to settle the grievance than to settle the knot, the eldest husband should look forward, if you can really get along with the third child, you will find that the child is also arrogant, and his personality is actually very upright, and it is worth handing." ”

Ma Xingwen nodded, "I know Grandpa Zheng, tomorrow before dinner, I will go to you." ”

"Okay, that's it, I'll go back first!"

Captain Zheng got up and said goodbye, "Okay, okay, you don't need to send it to your own people, wait for your letter!"

Ning Qimu sent Captain Zheng away, and exhaled softly in his heart, just now he was afraid that Captain Zheng would be excited to tell her about looking forward to the future!

It's okay to look forward to, the key involves digging ginseng up the mountain!

The old lady is careful, once she smells that she has signs of going up the mountain, look at her and it's over!

Fortunately, fortunately......

Turning around, Feng Yuzhen had already asked Shang Xingwen what he thought, "Boss, would you like to?"

Ma Xingwen didn't answer, but looked at Ma Shengwu, "Second brother, do you understand what Captain Zheng said just now?"

"Nope. ”

Ma Shengwu shook his head, "Big brother, let you go to school?"

"It's to help his nephew make up for his lessons, so I'll beat your Qiao Rin......"

Ma Xingwen explained seriously, and when Shengwu understood, he continued, "Do you agree with the eldest brother to go? If you are unhappy, the eldest brother will not go, and the eldest husband will not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, and I am also very disgusted with that Qiao Laosan." ”

"Big brother, you go. ”

Ma Shengwu stretched out a finger, "But I have one condition." ”

？？？

Everyone is very puzzled, Ma Lao Er, this iron and Hanhan, will also talk about the conditions?

"On what terms?"

Ma Xingwen looked at him, "You tell my brother, if my brother can do it, try to do it for you." ”

"It's ......"

Ma Shengwu scratched his head embarrassedly, "When you earn money, buy a pair of shoes for the fourth child, he loves to run, and now the pair of bottoms he wears has worn out, and the soles of his feet are blistered, he is afraid that you and grandma will talk about him, and he doesn't dare to let you know, you have made money, buy him the kind of running shoes with elastic bottoms worn by people in Shuangcheng, the physical education teacher said what is the global brand, he likes it, but he doesn't dare to tell you." ”

"Second brother, I don't need it!!"

Xiao Zhuzi hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, and saw that everyone looked at his feet and looked embarrassed to hide his feet, "Big brother, don't listen to the second brother, my current shoes can be worn by grandma, I don't buy shoes with cow tendon soles, that kind of ...... What I actually don't like is that it looks good, and if you wear it, it's not necessarily comfortable, and besides, it's not dirty......"

"Pillar, brother bought it for you. ”

Ma Xingwen touched his head, and as he spoke, he also glanced at Feng Yuzhen inquiringly, and when he saw his grandmother nodding, he continued, "When my brother earns money, I will buy you and Shengwu a pair of global brand beef tendon sole running shoes, I heard that the shoes are lightweight, and they run like flying." ”

"Really!"

Xiao Zhuzi was happy, the child didn't know how to hide it, he excitedly grabbed Ma Shengwu's arm, "Second brother, the eldest brother said to buy you a pair too, let's each have a pair!!"

"Do I have it too?"

Ma Shengwu excitedly, "Don't big brother, I'm ruining everything I wear, buy something for Sanbao." ”

"Buy them all!"

Feng Yuzhen said angrily, "Your eldest brother has earned money, and you brothers and sisters have four of you, each with a new pair of shoes, not enough money to add milk!"

"Thank you, Grandma!"

The children were all happy, and they were close to Feng Yuzhen, they were happy, and the air was full of warmth.

Ning Qi's heart was rubbed and rubbed with a few simple words, and it wrinkled inexplicably~

They didn't say anything, why did her eyes sour, hey, hypocritical!

I really love this family.

A family that respects and loves each other.

Feng Yuzhen is the patriarch, although the old lady has never read any books, but she is not arbitrary, even if there are, many things, she also knows how to respect the opinions of the parties.

And the parties, even if they feel very tempted, do not agree as soon as their heads are hot, but first unravel the knots in other people's hearts.

Everyone has a rod in their hearts, and there will be bias, but love will make people try to balance as much as possible.

"Sister Feng, old Sister Feng!!"

Feng Yuzhen was laughing with a few children, Captain Zheng ran back in a hurry, he ran too fast, he was still a little panting and speechless when he came in, his hands were on his knees, and he bent down for a few seconds, "Feng, Feng ......"

"Captain Zheng, what's wrong?"

The ancestors and grandchildren were a little stunned, and Feng Yuzhen was even more puzzled, "What's wrong?

"That's it, fire, fire......"

Captain Zheng couldn't take a breath, and stomped his foot anxiously, "Your field is on fire!!

"What?!!"

Feng Yuzhen's eyes widened, "My land is on fire? How is that possible, I was fine when I came back from the field......"

"It's on fire!!"

Outside the door, the shouts of the villagers rang out, "Old Aunt Feng, go to the field to put out the fire! Your field is on fire! If you delay in delay, all the food will be burned out!"

"What...... Hurry !!"

Feng Yuzhen raised her legs and ran towards the door, Captain Zheng and the four brothers and sisters followed, Sanbao's legs were short, and she couldn't catch up, but fortunately, Ma Shengwu ran a few steps and turned around to see her, naturally squatting, and when Sanbao jumped up, he carried her on his back!!

"Hurry up and put out the fire!

"Aunt Feng's field is on fire!!"

Along the way, there were villagers shouting, knocking on the basin, "Come out and put out the fire! Aunt Feng's house is on fire!!"

Everyone uses their voices to transmit signals, and they try to help as much as they can, and they pick up the pots and pans and run to the ground!

"Mom, why is it still on fire!"

Ma Xifa also ran out of the house when he heard the voice, shouting in his mouth, "There is a fire at this time! Do you want to die!!

This is not an exaggeration.

Food is the life of farmers!

No food equals no life.

Every year after the autumn harvest, the village will burn the roots of the straw in the field in an orderly manner so that they can be replanted the following year.

But that's when the corn is all gone!

Not now!

Now the corn is still on the pole, and in such a critical period, once a fire breaks out, the damage caused will be immeasurable.

It is not the corn that is burned, but the hard work of the whole year, all the hopes piled up by a peasant family!

The closer I ran, the smell of smoke got louder and louder—

Immediately after, Ning Qi saw the sky-high fire!

"Quick!Hurry up and put out the fire!!"

The voices of the people were boiling, and the light and shadow of the flashlight shook in the middle of the corn stalks, "Hurry, hurry!"

Gaba's voice rang out~

Ma Shengwu couldn't remember how many corn stalks he had stepped on, whether the corn leaves had shaved his face, he carried Sanbao on his back and only sprinted towards the place where there was fire, and when he was about to run to him, he put down Sanbao, "Wait here!

With that, he took off his clothes and rushed over and whipped at the scurrying flames!

"Dip in water! That won't work!!"

Ning Qi wanted to step forward to help, but was grabbed by the women who followed behind, "Sanbao, don't go over and make trouble, wait here!"

Person.

A lot of people.

She couldn't even tell who was who for a while, so she could only stand on the overpowered corn stalk and watch the villagers more than twenty meters away in front of her desperately fight against the burning flames.

The tongue of fire continued to devour the corn and grass, and there was a sound of grass 'crackling' and exploding everywhere~

The stars burst out from the top of the flames, drifting around in the dark night, and a gust of wind blew, like ghostly fire, and the mood of people twitched and uneasy.

"Over there, over there!, don't get up!!"

The men who put out the fire shouted to each other to defend, for fear that the stellar fire would touch any corn and grass.

"Water!Come on!!"

"Old Seven, over there, look there, there is a pile of forage in Er Mazi's house, and it will be destroyed if it burns!!"

"Get out of the way!Get out of the way!!The water is coming!!"

Wow~!Wow~!

The tongue of fire made a rustling sound, flickering in the waves of attacks~

Fortunately!

The crops were not far from the riverbank, and the villagers ran with buckets of water, or took off their clothes to get wet, and the relay was usually passed back, and the light of the fire was reflected in their faces, and everyone's eyes were resolute, eager, and, indescribable, heartache and sorrow.

There was a fire, and basically everyone in the village came.

Those who can put out the fire rushed forward, and the women and children who couldn't help themselves stood outside the encirclement and watched, the smoke was billowing out, Ning Qi couldn't help coughing with a heart, and the tears were choked several times and had to flow down~

The men who put out the fire rushed up without stopping, what cough or not, food is the most important!

She didn't dare to stand closer, she was really afraid of causing trouble!

When he wiped his eyes, he turned his gaze, and faintly, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd not far away.

By the brightness of the firelight, she was sure that the man was Qiao Rin, who was standing not far away, not too close, seemingly expressionless, standing out among the villagers.

Xu felt her gaze, and Qiao Rin also looked over—

Ning Qi was choked and couldn't see his expression clearly, his eyes were unbearably spicy and foggy.

……

Half an hour later.

The last ray of spark is finally gone.

The snort was full of the smell of burnt grass, and the suspended black foam also drifted around with the wind~

"Grandma!"

Ning Qi ran to Feng Yuzhen's side, the old lady put out the fire and fell to the ground with exhaustion, with her, there were three brothers who collapsed like black children, the villagers didn't let the children come forward, for fear of danger!

But seeing that the three brothers were extinguishing their own fire, they didn't stop it, so these brothers all made it like a non-domain native.

"Three treasures, it's gone. ”

Feng Yuzhen seemed to be stupid, and it took a while to look at the villain with a dumb voice, "The food is gone......"

"Milk, it's okay!"

Ning Qi's heart instantly soured, she took out a handkerchief and wiped Feng Yuzhen's blackened face, and said softly, "No, let's plant it again next year, don't get angry......

"Mom!"

Ma Xifa rushed over, his face was all black, "It's okay if the fire is extinguished!"

"Old Sister Feng, don't worry, I'll take someone to see ......"

Captain Zheng took people to check back and forth, and after estimating the loss, he ran to Feng Yuzhen, "Old Sister Feng, six or seven acres of your family's ten acres of land have to be burned, and this year's harvest is probably ......."

Feng Yuzhen shook his hand, signaling that he didn't need to say much, and only asked Mumu, "Captain, didn't burn someone else's land?" ”

"No, it just burned your own house. ”

"That's good. ”

Feng Yuzhen nodded weakly, "If the fire is from my house, and then it is affected by other people's homes, I can't afford to pay for this old life......"

"Old Sister Feng, don't be sad. ”

Captain Zheng's face was also dark, and as soon as he spoke, his remaining teeth and eyes were white, "This is strange, I just looked at it and found that this fire started to burn in the middle of more than ten acres of land in your house, if no one goes to light it, it can't be burned so accurately, eighty percent is deliberate, don't worry, I will definitely check it out for you!!"

As he spoke, he looked at the villagers who were still relieving, "That...... Who was the first to find out about the fire? ”

"Captain, I'm the first to see a fire and call someone. ”

Qin Guihua's husband stood up, surnamed Mu, and the people in the village called him Mu Laoqi, a very honest person, he had just helped put out the fire, and his body was also dark, "I worked late today, and I was packing up my things to go home, so I smelled it, thanks to the proximity of my family to Aunt Feng, I quickly called someone to put out the fire......

"Old Seven, did you see someone else at that time?"

Captain Zheng then asked, "Especially when the fire is burning, are there any suspicious people near Sister Feng's house?"

"This ......"

Mu Laoqi snorted, "I didn't see anyone on the ground at Aunt Feng's house, but I ran to the edge of the ridge, but I saw a person......

"Who?"

“……”

Mu Laoqi was silent.

"Say it quickly!"

Qin Guihua directly scolded him, "Grinding and chirping, when you see someone, tell the captain quickly, if the murderer is the murderer, we will give him the law on the spot, if the murderer explains it clearly, it will be over!"

"Old Seven, your mother-in-law is right. ”

Captain Zheng nodded very seriously, "Tell me who it is, don't be afraid of offending people, those who didn't set fire are not vain, and they are not afraid of investigation!"

"Yes, Lao Qi, say it quickly!"

The onlookers in the village were all anxious, "Don't hide it at this time, look at what Aunt Feng is like!"

"Captain, you know this person very well. ”

Mu Laoqi cleared his throat, "It's your family...... Nephew in the city......"
