Chapter 53: The abacus is rattling

"Xinmei, it's time to eat."

A shout from her mother woke Liu Xinmei's thoughts. She looked at the time, but before she knew it, it was noon, and it was time for lunch.

She put down the newspaper and got up to go to the main house.

The ceiling fan in the house was whirring and the cool breeze was blowing, and the family was already sitting around the table, eating rice stir-fry today.

The living conditions of the Liu family have always been the highest in Xili Village.

Liu Xinmei washed her hands and sat down silently to pick up rice.

Wang Guizhi glanced at her twice and asked strangely, "Xinmei, why is your face so red?" It can't be a fever, right? As he spoke, he reached over and touched her forehead.

Liu Xinmei dodged and dodged.

"Mom, it's because it's hot." She sneered.

When the family was eating, they unconsciously talked about the recent changes in Xiao Fei's family.

"It seems that Xiao Youjin's family is really preparing to build a new house, and I see that they are starting to buy bricks today." Liu Zhenhai said.

"I really didn't expect that Xiao Youjin's family also had a time to get out." Wang Guizhi's words were a little stupid, she couldn't see the good of others.

Especially the Xiao family, which she looked down on the most, actually had the day when she built a new house, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Alas! Lao Xiao gave birth to a good son! Liu Zhenhai sighed.

Wang Guizhi pursed his lips: "You mean Xiao Fei?" ”

"Yes, the idea of using wheat bran as bait to catch turtles was thought up by Xiao Fei, Xiao Youjin's cotton field was destroyed in advance and replanted with corn, which is also Xiao Fei's opinion, and it is said that Xiao Fei is also in charge of contracting the soil of this village, and he can also write manuscripts to earn manuscript fees, I heard that he can earn more than 1,000 manuscript fees a month, and the Xiao family is completely up now." Liu Zhenhai looked envious, and looked at his two sons who were gobbling up, originally he didn't think that his sons were bad, but now how do you think that his two sons are crippled.

Wang Guizhi sneered: "Except for the first one, which did make the old Xiao family earn some money, I think the two ideas in the middle are all losers, and the corn will not grow when it is replanted, so it will not be harvested in the field, and the fertilizer will be wasted; There is no use for contracting soil, and it can't bring any income to his family; As for saying that he can earn more than 1,000 manuscript fees a month by writing articles, it is estimated that he is bragging, as of now, I haven't seen him earn a penny of manuscript fees, if there is a manuscript fee, that Xiao Yang must have started bragging on the street a long time ago. ”

Wang Guizhi tried his best to belittle Xiao Fei.

How did Liu Xinmei hear it, and how did she feel that her mother's words were awkward.

She couldn't help but say loudly: "Mom, the newspaper publication fee is periodic, and it will take a while for the article to be sent after the article is published, Xiao Fei has indeed sent a lot of articles, I have seen several articles from him in the provincial daily newspaper in the past few days, and I also saw him post an article in the People's Daily today." ”

"There are many people with the same name and surname, Xinmei, how do you know that it must be him?" Wang Guizhi retorted.

"There is his introduction on it, can it be on the number!" Liu Xinmei said.

Liu Zhenhai was taken aback: "What? He published an article in the People's Daily? ”

After all, Liu Zhenhai has been the village chief for many years, and he has strong political acumen.

Of course, he knows what kind of newspaper the People's Daily is, that is, China's No. 1 newspaper! It's the mouthpiece of the party! Many of the state's policies are published in the People's Daily.

It's amazing to be able to post articles on it.

"So Dad, you haven't even read the newspaper! I'll show you! Liu Xinmei took out the newspaper in her room and showed it to Liu Zhenhai.

Liu Zhenhai is not highly educated, only graduated from junior high school.

But you can still understand it by reading a newspaper.

He took the newspaper and looked at it carefully, and exclaimed, "Isn't this just written about our village?" OMG! I didn't expect that the small Xili Village would be on the People's Daily one day! This is my biggest achievement in so many years! ”

Wang Guizhi was shocked when she saw her husband so surprised, but she was very disapproving: "Didn't you just post an article about the size of a tofu cube?" What's the big deal? ”

Liu Zhenhai glanced at his wife and shook his head: "I told you that you don't understand!" In vain, do you know or not, just based on this article, the county magistrate may treat Xiao Fei as a talent, even if Xiao Fei can't be admitted to university, he may be arranged to a certain unit in the county! ”

"Huh? The county magistrate is so busy, will he pay attention to this little thing? Wang Guizhi was taken aback.

For her, the county magistrate is already a big official.

"Humph! The county magistrate and the secretary of the county party committee must carefully read the People's Daily every day, and there is a spirit in the newspaper! Liu Zhenhai was too lazy to talk to his short-sighted mother-in-law.

"So, Xiao Fei is very likely to be valued by the county magistrate?" Wang Guizhi put away the disdain on her face, she was shocked.

"It's possible! Therefore, the future of this kid from the old Xiao family is definitely limitless! Liu Zhenhai said, "It seems that I have to have a good relationship with the Xiao family in the future." ”

"What future can I have if I can't get into college? No matter what, we don't have any interest in Xinmei. Wang Guizhi argued.

Liu Zhenhai still agreed with this sentence and nodded: "That's right, but Xiao Fei didn't do well in the exam this year!" If you don't go to college this year, it's possible to get into a better school next year. ”

Liu Xinmei finished eating at this time.

She didn't bother to listen to her parents' ramblings, so she put down the bowl and went back to her room.

She lay on the bed and took a nap, but she couldn't sleep.

She thought, why don't you go to Xiao Fei in the afternoon, so she told him that she likes him, she has always liked him, and she has established a relationship first, and if there are any variables in the future, she will talk about it when the time comes.

She felt that her idea was still the wisest.

Thinking so, she closed her eyes and blew the fan and fell asleep peacefully.

At this moment, in the main house of the Liu family, Liu Zhenhai is still talking to his wife.

"Zhenhai, my sister's girl is 20 years old this year and is looking for her in-laws, do you think if I go to talk to Xiao Fei about matchmaking, their family should agree, right?" Wang Guizhi said.

Liu Zhenhai rolled his eyes, obviously he didn't expect his wife to have such an idea: "Just your sister's girl, she is fat like that, and she doesn't look good, do you think Xiao Fei can look at it?" ”

"Why can't he look down on it? Now how difficult it is for the men in the village to marry a wife Xiao Youjin doesn't know, they Xiao Fei doesn't say how good the conditions are, it's good to have someone willing to marry him. Wang Guizhi said confidently.

"First, where is Xiao Fei's future, people are likely to eat commercial grain in the future, why marry a fat and ugly girl from the countryside? Second, a few days ago, a beautiful girl came to Xiao Fei, which shows that people have objects, and they won't fall in love with your sister's girl! Liu Zhenhai said.

"Humph! What to eat commercial grain, the eight characters have not been skimmed! As poor as his family is now, ten girls are not satisfied with five pairs of children; The girl you said came to Xiao Fei's house a few days ago, I heard Xinmei say that she was not Xiao Fei's object at all, she was a godsister recognized by Xiao Fei. Wang Guizhi said.

"Then you go and try it, and see if you will touch a nose of ash!" Liu Zhenhai didn't want to talk nonsense with his mother-in-law anymore.
