The prize money of 60,000 yuan is not much, nor is it too little, but Li Zhan came to the door directly for the first time, and his style of acting without the slightest pretentiousness gave Ying Baoquan and his wife and other villagers a great shock, and they thought that they all felt the sincerity of the man.

Li Zhan knew that Ying Bao and his wife would not be able to digest it for a while, and he didn't need them to digest it, so he continued to say his thoughts, "But there are a few problems in front of me. First, Wanjun is still young, and she has to wait until the legal age of marriage. The management of our troops is very strict, not only with me, but also with the right to control what kind of wife I want to marry. Speaking of which, I have to say a few more words, hoping that my aunt and uncle will understand me. ”

"Understand, I understand, the troops must be different, they must be strict, you say, you say." Ying Baoquan came back to his senses, pulled his gaze back from the stacked six yuan, and said busily.

Li Zhan said, "According to the regulations, not only must you wait until Wanjun reaches the legal age to get married, and she will be ready to register in the future, but the relevant departments will also conduct a political investigation on Wanjun and the two of you and even your three sons. So, if you are willing to entrust Wanjun to me, I hope that before you get married, you will be able to obey the law. ”

Is he excessive?

Not too much at all.

Maybe Ying Wanjun doesn't know Beikeng Village as well, this village produces talents and bastards, and there are almost no serious crimes, but there are many people who do things on the edge of the law. Moreover, he said this from the perspective of his future son-in-law, even if outsiders heard it, they felt that it was very reasonable.

Ying Baoquan hurriedly said, "No, no, my three sons are very obedient and won't cause trouble, Cadre Li, don't worry, you will definitely not cause trouble." ”

Uncle Qiangqiang said, "Cadre Li, your three brothers-in-law are very sensible, you can rest assured of this." ”

Li Zhan nodded, still with a serious expression, and said, "The second point is Wanjun's studies, I hope she can finish college." I graduated from Huaqing University, and if my wife only graduated from high school, I'm afraid that the army would not have a good time. ”

Ordinary people don't know what Xi'an Jiaotong University and Shanghai Jiaotong University are Zhongshan Fudan Tongji, but they definitely don't know about Huaqing Dabei, and even the seventy or eighty-year-old people in the countryside who can't even write their own names know these two schools.

In an instant, everyone's eyes looked at Li Zhan with more envy and admiration for the reader.

It's strange that boys who are good at reading will be exaggerated by the whole village, and girls who are good at reading will not get even the slightest preferential treatment.

Li Zhan continued, "I will be responsible for Wanjun's tuition and living expenses, you two don't have to worry about it, as long as you two take care of this family well, so that Wanjun can rest assured to complete her four-year studies in Xi'an, I am very grateful." ”

"Li, Cadre Li, you, are you telling the truth?" Aunt Caiyan, who had been silent for a long time, asked a sentence with difficulty, wiping her tears.

She didn't dare to believe that her hard-working daughter had ushered in the light of day, but she never reflected on the fact that in the past many years, she was the same person who invisibly exerted pressure on her hard-working daughter that ordinary people could not bear.

Li Zhan nodded solemnly, "It's true, and I came today with the consent of my parents, and they are very supportive." ”

Ying Baoquan and his wife couldn't help crying, and the bitter taste made them emotionally broken.

Can all the reasons be attributed to them, Li Zhan couldn't figure it out, especially after he saw the environment of the Ying family with his own eyes and understood the actual situation of the family. Three sons and one daughter, sacrificing one daughter for three sons, you can't say that it is wrong to be preserved.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with it, because there is no right or wrong in such a thing.

Before leaving, Li Zhan saw the youngest two "brothers-in-law", very honest and honest young men, maybe he would be good soldiers when he joined the army in the future. But until he left, his "eldest brother" was still sleeping. Of course, Li Zhan resolutely refused to stay for lunch, and as a cadre of the army, he resolutely could not eat at the homes of ordinary people.

Riding a car far away from the entrance of the village, when Li Zhan turned around, he could still see Ying Baoquan and his wife standing at the entrance of the village.

Sighing lightly, Li Zhan accelerated in the direction of No. 3 Middle School to take a look at his alma mater, and the way home from that side was closer. Chen Fei was there at the school gate, straddled his bicycle and smoked, waiting for him.

"Smoke less, your lung capacity won't be able to pass." Li Zhan stopped beside Chen Fei and lit a cigarette.

Chen Fei exhaled the smoke and tasted it beautifully, and said, "Then why don't you quit completely, the military region has already issued a document, and smoking and alcohol are strictly prohibited." ”

"Strictly prohibiting smoking and alcohol is not a matter now, you see, there is a unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army that does not prohibit alcohol and smoking." But in reality? Li Zhan took a puff of his cigarette and said.

Chen Fei shook his head, "This time is different, the intensity is very large, it is listed as a high-voltage line, once it is found, the lightest is also a notice of criticism, and the annual excellent vote is vetoed, both individuals and units." Therefore, in the past two days, I can draw a little bit, and I really can't touch it again when I return to the army. ”

"I'm not addicted to smoking." Li Zhan shook his head and said, "It's just very upset." Yes, I'll pay you back slowly. ”

Waving his hand, Chen Fei said, "You look at it, with your earning ability, you will pay me back the trolley fee in more than half a year." ”

They were about to go into the school to have a look, but the non-graduating class was still in class, so they dispelled the idea and slowly rode towards the machinery factory.

"Don't talk about whether it's worth it or not, you've already caused yourself trouble by doing this." Chen Fei glanced sideways at Li Zhan.

Li Zhan looked at the road ahead and said, "I can't stand it." ”

"I can't stand it, but that's not how it works." Chen Fei sighed and said, "She is only eighteen years old, you are going to propose marriage, if you let the army know, you can talk about it, and it will be light to give you a punishment." ”

Li Zhan shook his head slightly and said, "There is no better way, besides, this is also good for me, at least my family will not urge me to get married." ”

"But, have you considered Ying Wanjun's feelings, what would she think?" Chen Fei said.

Li Zhan pinched the brake and stopped suddenly, Chen Fei hurriedly braked and took a few steps back, "What's the matter?" ”

Taking a deep breath, Li Zhan said, "Bring me another cigarette." ”

Chen Fei was helpless and handed over the whole box of cigarettes.

Lighting a cigarette and taking a puff, Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "She probably thinks that I treat her as a commodity, and maybe she thinks that I treat her like a woman in feudal society." But so what? ”

"I encountered, no matter if I feel uncomfortable, I can only have a trade-off. Compared to missing Xi'an Jiao Tong University and even being forced to live another life, does her opinion of me still matter? ”

"So, so what?"

When Li Zhan said this, he smiled, shrugged his shoulders, kicked his pedals hard with a cigarette in his mouth, stood up directly, accelerated the speed of his pedals, and when he flew in the wind and smelled the fragrance of rice on both sides of the road, he regained the feeling of the green age.

What a true maniac.

Chen Fei sighed secretly and shouted at Li Zhan's back, "I'll go back, meet at the meeting point tomorrow!" ”

Li Zhan didn't reply, raised his hand and waved.
