CHAPTER XXIII
In an old bungalow in Dongshan County, Jiang Yifan was facing the newspaper to estimate his college entrance examination scores, and his mother Sun Juan came back from under the sun, still wearing a sunhat on her head, and said to him while taking off her sleeves: "You go and help your father collect the loquat, take it easy, don't break it." ”
Jiang Yifan was not very reluctant, July and August happened to be the hottest time, there was no air conditioning in their house, and an old-fashioned electric fan had been used for I don't know how many years, and it was hula and hula when the wind came out.
"Isn't Dad's waist better?" Jiang Yifan complained a little, "Just a few baskets, it doesn't take long for one person to collect them." ”
Sun Juan had a bad temper, and when she saw him talking back, she took a gun and scolded him: "A while ago, your father spent all his savings when he saw his waist, what's wrong with letting you do a favor, do you still want to study?!" ”
Of course Jiang Yifan wanted to study, he pursed his lips and slowly walked to the door, Jiang Xiaohua, who was sitting in the yard choosing vegetables, saw him and shouted "brother".
Jiang Xiaohua is only 6 years old this year, her hair is messy and sticks to her face, she is still wearing Jiang Yifan's clothes when she was a child, except for her long hair, she doesn't look like a girl at all.
Jiang Yifan squatted in front of her with his back on his back: "Let's go, my brother will take you to pick loquats." ”
Jiang Xiaohua grinned, she wiped her hands, and carefully climbed onto Jiang Yifan's back.
The two walked together into the loquat field.
In fact, the best time for loquat to go on the market is April and May, when Jiang Lin's waist was broken and he couldn't go to the ground, Sun Juan was a woman, almost wasted half of her life to be able to pick off a small part, and she got up early and rushed to the market after greed, and the money from the sale was smashed into the hospital. Jiang Lin didn't dare to rest after his waist was good, he only hoped that he could pick some more at the last moment, so that he could take it to the town to sell it, and fool those outsiders who came late.
Jiang Yifan walked unfast with Jiang Xiaohua on his back, the afternoon sun was so hot that he could roast chicken, Jiang Xiaohua picked banana leaves as an umbrella to cover Jiang Yifan's head, and he could still see his brother's sweat raining down.
"I'll go by myself." Jiang Xiaohua said softly, although she is young, she is very familiar with her mind, and she has never had a five or six-year-old child playing hard, and she is as obedient as a rabbit.
Jiang Yifan lifted her up: "Brother is not tired, is Xiaohua hot?" ”
Jiang Xiaohua shook her head: "It's not hot." ”
Jiang Yifan smiled, he carefully crossed the stream, and tried to walk towards the dense shade of the trees.
Jiang Xiaohua put her arms around his neck and spoke to him: "Brother, will you go to college?" ”
Jiang Xiaohua doesn't know much about the college entrance examination, but she understands that going to college is such a thing, her father Jiang Lin has always been very proud of Jiang Yifan, and her brother will be the first person in the Jiang family to go to college.
"Come on." Jiang Yifan's tone was relaxed, "Xiaohua is also going to elementary school." ”
Jiang Xiaohua snorted and said in a low voice: "But my mother said that the family's savings are gone......
Jiang Yifan was silent for a while, he turned his head to look at his sister, and said seriously: "There will be money, we will definitely be able to go to school." ”
Jiang Lin squatted on the stone and smoked a cigarette, he was not yet 45, his hair was all white, his dark face was full of marks left by the wind and sun, and his hands were rough.
He glanced at the two baskets of half-rotten loquat on the ground, and pinched the cigarette butt with some irritability, rubbed his face, and his expression was a little confused.
After a while, he heard the elder Yuanjiang Yifan calling to himself: "Dad! ”
Jiang Lin sighed, and he forced himself to show a relaxed expression: "Why are you here?" ”
Jiang Xiaohua jumped down from Jiang Yifan's back and shouted as she ran, "Daddy! ”
Jiang Lin stretched out his arms and hugged her up: "It's a hot day, why are the two of them here." ”
Jiang Yifan looked around: "Mom called me here, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it." ”
"Hey." Jiang Lin didn't care much, "It's just two baskets, and I can't get tired." ”
Jiang Yifan squatted down and flipped through the loquat he had taken off, and slowly frowned: "...... A lot of it is rotten. ”
Jiang Lin said embarrassedly: "I can still sell some of it, I will go to the highway early tomorrow and occupy a good seat." ”
Jiang Yifan pursed his lips, his expression was a little ugly, and he wanted to say something but couldn't say it in the end.
Jiang Lin hugged Jiang Xiaohua and looked at his son silently carrying two baskets of loquats, he felt very uncomfortable, he wanted to say something happy, so he asked, "Have you estimated your scores, did you pass the test?" ”
"Su is in danger." Jiang Yifan walked in front and said without looking back, "There is nothing wrong with Liverpool." ”
Jiang Lin chuckled in his heart: "Liverpool, ......"
"There are only two universities in our city." Jiang Yifan didn't notice his father's tone, "If you want to stay in the local area, if Su University can't go to it, Liverpool is not bad, it's better than the College of Science and Technology, I heard that 90% of Liverpool's courses are foreign teachers, and it is a 2+2 model, and you can choose to go abroad for further study after 2 years......" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, and seemed to realize something and slowly shut up.
The three of them went down the mountain in silence, and when they were about to arrive at the door, Jiang Yifan suddenly said: "I'm still going to study in the College of Science and Technology, and Xiaohua also has to go to school." ”
"What nonsense." Jiang Lin put down Jiang Xiaohua, he stretched out his hand and stroked the back of his son's head vigorously, "Of course, if you can go to a good school, you have to go to a good school, don't worry, Dad will find a way." ”
Chen Zhu, Huang Jasmine and Li Jingze formed a circle, and the three of them all stared at the pile of application materials on the table, Mu Liao and Qiao Shen sat opposite, and Qiao Shen's notebook was open PPT.
"It covers an area of 8 acres, with a construction area of 1,580 square meters, and the local government of City A holds only 4% of the shares, so it is a drinking water plant of the nature of an individual enterprise, but it is a government-supported project." Qiao Shen opened a group of factory photos, "This water plant is built on Lingbai Mountain next to Xiushui Lake, half of the mountain is theirs, there is a small mountain village in the local area, the economic conditions are backward, there are no tourism resources, except for going out to work, there is almost no other economic system." ”
Mu Liao touched his chin, he pointed to the PPT and said, "Next, let's see who the legal representative of the company is." ”
Qiao Shen opened a new page, only to see a young man's profile profile appear on the slide wall.
Huang Jasmine was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
"I checked some of his situation." Qiao Shen said expressionlessly, "Chen Mohan, only 32 years old this year, graduated from a famous university, and has been self-employed for five years. ”
Mu Liao sneered: "With the support of the government, the ghost believes that he has no background." ”
Qiao Shen completely ignored his ridicule, and emphasized seriously to the other three, especially the two ladies: "Unmarried, single, and handsome. ”
Chen Zhu: "......"
