There is a small town called Anning County in the north of Tanzhou, and there is a small village in the north of Anning County called Changxiu Village.

Because the geographical environment is suitable for growing grain, most of the villagers in Changxiu Village make a living by growing rice. However, after all, growing grain is a livelihood to watch the sky and eat, not to mention hard work, the income is not high, so over the years, with the rapid development of the domestic economy, many young people in the village have gone to the city to work.

Every Spring Festival, these young people come back to the village from all over the world to spend this most important traditional festival with their parents and children, so that Changxiu Village, which is a little lonely on weekdays, will return to its liveliness.

During the Spring Festival, children are busy setting off firecrackers and adults are visiting homes to pay New Year's greetings, and the air in the village is filled with the smell of gunsmoke and alcohol.

The Shen family is no exception, with a jubilant atmosphere in this Spring Festival.

Shen Lijun came back two days ago, Fang Tianyu asked her to come back to reunite with her family for a few days, and gave her 50,000 yuan as a year-end bonus.

Shen Lijun basically didn't leave much of this money, and gave it all to her parents.

The parents of the Shen family, who make a living by growing rice and can only earn two or three thousand yuan a year, were surprised and happy when they saw the tens of thousands of yuan.

In fact, since Shen Lijun became Fang Tianyu's assistant, Tiancheng Culture has bought all kinds of insurance and benefits for her, and her salary is higher than that of ordinary employees, and the money she gets every month is seven or eight thousand, which is a good income even in Suicheng.

And Shen Lijun will send most of her salary home every month, leaving only a little for her needs, anyway, she eats and lives with Fang Tianyu, and she has no chance to spend money.

In just the past few months, Shen Lijun has sent more than 20,000 yuan back home.

They knew that with Shen Lijun's condition of having no education and no ability, she would not be able to earn so much money under normal circumstances, and when she used to work outside, sending back 1,000 yuan to her home every month was a lot.

So at that time, Shen Muhuang called to ask Shen Lijun what kind of work she was doing and could make so much money. Shen Lijun only said that she didn't work in the university cafeteria anymore, joined a company and became the boss's assistant.

Huang Youhao didn't know what kind of work the "assistant" did, but he only knew that Shen Lijun took the money back home every month, and he was one of the best among all the people who went out to work in the entire Changxiu Village, even more than those girls who went to the sea to do the leather and meat business.

This made Huang Youhao suspicious, and he didn't even dare to tell others that Shen Lijun had taken so much money back.

Now Shen Lijun finally came back, but she came back with a full 50,000 yuan, which scared Huang Youhao and Shen's father, Shen Peicai.

On the day Shen Lijun came back, Huang Youhao pulled Shen Lijun and asked, "Jun, tell your mother honestly, what are you doing outside, how can you make so much money?"

"Mom, didn't I say that I work with a boss now, and he gave me all this money. ”

In order to protect Fang Tianhu, she did not disclose Fang Tianhu's information in front of her parents.

"What can you do to get so much money? Add the money you sent back every month before, it's all 100,000 yuan!" Huang Youhao said: "It's more than the few people in the village who sell themselves outside, don't hide it from me, why do you make so much money from a girl who hasn't been to school for a few days? Are you a mistress anymore?"

In Huang Youhao's view, a girl with no other professional skills earns more money than people who go to the sea, and the only explanation is that she becomes the mistress of a rich man.

If this is the case, Huang Youhao will be in trouble.

Let Shen Lijun leave the rich man to get rid of this mistress's identity? But this money is too tempting, the 70,000 or 80,000 yuan that Shen Lijun got back is enough to tear down the mud brick house at home and build a new red brick house.

and in the future, the son will beg for a daughter-in-law or something, and it will be inseparable from money.

Let Huang Youhao give up the money, she is reluctant.

However, accept the fact that Shen Lijun is someone's mistress, Huang You's good heart is always difficult to accept. After all, it is his own daughter, and Huang Youhao also hopes that Shen Lijun can find a good home.

Shen Lijun's cheeks were red by Huang Youhao's words, and she said in shame: "Mom, what are you talking about, what kind of mistress, I don't have it! This money was really given to me by my boss!"

Huang Youhao had already preconceived the conclusion that Shen Lijun must be someone else's mistress, but for various considerations, Huang Youhao didn't say anything more.

As for Shen's father, Shen Peicai, he has always been honest, and he has no doubts at all about his daughter getting back so much money.

Since Shen Lijun said that she earned it by working, she earned it by working.

The most important thing is that with this money, not only can I tear down the family's house and rebuild it, but I can also come back from the field on weekdays, and I can also have a glass of wine and smoke a small cigarette, which is really beautiful.

In the two days since she came back, Shen Lijun helped her parents take care of the chores at home, because she knew that she couldn't stay for a few days, and when Fang Tianwu left from Tanzhou, she had to leave with her.

At this time, Shen Lijun was drying clothes in the front yard, and his younger brother Shen Weibiao came back shaking his head.

Shen Weibiao is nineteen years old this year, is in his third year of high school, he is quite tall, and he looks very energetic.

Seeing Shen Lijun, Shen Weibiao took off his headphones and smiled at her: "Sister, this walkman you gave me is amazing, Ah Qiang and Ah Jian don't know how much they envy me." ”

"If you like it, are those songs good?"

This walkman was specially bought by Shen Lijun for Shen Weibiao, and there are more than a dozen records, including Fang Tianyu's album.

"It's so good, especially Fang Tianyu's song!" Shen Weibiao said: "We saw him singing in the Spring Festival Gala before, he sang so well." ”

"yes, it's a good song. Shen Lijun also smiled.

My younger brother doesn't like to study much, he usually likes to wander around the village, and the thing he looks forward to the most is to go to the big city to see and learn.

And Shen Peicai and Huang Youhao hope that he can be admitted to university, and when he comes back in the future, he will take the civil service exam in the county, and then he will be stable for the rest of his life.

Shen Lijun knew that with Shen Weibiao's lowest grades in the township middle school, let alone university, it was difficult even for a junior college.

Since Shen Weibiao wants to see and learn in the city, it is better to wait for him to go out after graduating from high school.

Although Shen Peicai and his wife have a strong concept of patriarchy, the relationship between Shen Lijun and Shen Weibiao is very good, this younger brother has known that he feels sorry for his sister since he was a child, and he often shares the snacks his parents give him with Shen Lijun.

"By the way, sister, some time ago, that yellow bastard always came back to the village to look for you. Shen Weibiao said to Shen Lijun: "My parents said that you didn't come back from working outside, but that guy came every once in a while, and gave us a lot of things at home, such as cigarettes, alcohol, fruits, etc., which made my parents very happy." But I see that guy is not well-intentioned, sister, you have to be careful. ”

Shen Lijun frowned when she heard this, the Huang bastard that Shen Weibiao said should be Huang Zhihao. When she was helping in the county uncle's grain store before, that guy often came to harass her, but the aunt always helped him say good things and persuaded Shen Lijun to marry him.

She didn't expect Huang Zhihao to find Changxiu Village, and often came to look for herself. Although he is also from this village, his family moved to the county seat many years ago, and only the old house is left in the village, and he only comes back every year when he worships his ancestors during the Qingming Festival.

As he was talking, Shen Peicai and Huang Youhao came back, with an excited look on their faces.

They had just gone out to discuss with the small engineering team in the village that they would tear down their mud-brick house and rebuild it after the Spring Festival, planning to build a two-story red brick house.

Shen Peicai and his wife dreamed of building a new one, but their life over the years was only enough to make ends meet, if it weren't for Shen Lijun working outside to help, it would be difficult for Shen Weibiao to study, let alone build a new house?

Seeing his son and daughter, Huang Youhao couldn't help but smile and said: "Weibiao, Lijun, after this Spring Festival, our family will build a new house!"

Shen Lijun's two siblings are also very happy, and it is also their dream to build a new house. Therefore, Shen Lijun is very grateful to Fang Tianhu in her heart, if it weren't for him, she would have to build a new house in her family, I don't know how many years later.

"I'm so happy today, Weibiao's mother, you go and slaughter a chicken for the two children to taste, and I'll also have a glass of wine, hehehe, I'm really happy today." Shen Peicai said with a smile.

"Okay!" Huang You laughed and went to the backyard to catch his own chickens.

Shen Peicai took a small wooden table and a small wooden stool out, and sat in the front yard enjoying the peanuts and rice wine he had just bought from outside.

"Dad, don't drink so much alcohol, it's not good for your health. Shen Lijun reminded.

"Got it, I'll drink a little bit. ”

As Shen Lijun became the economic pillar of the family, Shen Peicai also attached great importance to her words.

At this moment, a black car slowly drove into the open space not far in front of the Shen family, and then three men stepped out of the car, one of whom was Huang Zhihao.

I saw Huang Zhihao wearing a loose suit, his hair was black and shiny, and he had a smile on his face, but no matter how he looked, he looked like a weasel.

The two men behind him looked to be in their early twenties, oily and carrying large bags and small bags in their hands.

Seeing that Shen Lijun was in the front yard of the Shen family, and that the temperament on her body was more mature and capable than the last time she saw it in the county grain store, Huang Zhihao's eyes lit up, and his steps sped up a lot.

And when Shen Lijun saw Huang Zhihao coming to the door, the expression on her face was not so good-looking.

Shen Peicai greeted Huang Zhihao warmly: "Zhihao, are you here?"

"Uncle, I'm here, Happy New Year! I'm giving you a New Year's greeting!" Huang Zhihao asked the two younger brothers to hand over the big bags of gifts to Shen Peicai, and his eyes never left Shen Lijun, and said with a smile: "Lijun, are you finally back?"

Huang Zhihao's obscene and inexplicable smiling face made Shen Lijun's heart cold, and she didn't even want to say hello to him.

However, Shen Peicai took the things brought by Huang Zhihao, and when he saw that Shen Lijun ignored Huang Zhihao, he frowned and said, "Lijun, Zhihao is talking to you." ”
