57. So it was
Shen Mengxi jumped two levels, and the happiest was Old Man Qi.
On Sunday, the old man Qi specially summoned the whole family to Taiping Village for a party, and asked the Qi Zhou family to gather two large tables of delicious food, which was as grand as the New Year. During the banquet, I drank an extra cup for this, and praised beautifully: "Zhuzhu is like your milk, and her brain is good!" ”
Shen Mengxi ate with his head bored and didn't speak.
"Tsk, this kid, why don't you speak!" Lu Xiuzhi stabbed her. Today, she was in high spirits, and her feet were like stepping on springs.
Shen Mengxi raised his head and looked at Lu Xiuzhi, not knowing what to say, "What are you talking about?" ”
"You must study hard in the future!"
"Well, grandpa, I will study hard in the future, be a useful person to the society, and contribute to the construction of the four modernizations of the motherland!" Shen Mengxi put down his chopsticks and said to the old man seriously.
Old Man Qi nodded with satisfaction and touched his granddaughter's hair.
Qi Jian heard her perfunctory on the side, laughed loudly, and pulled her pigtails.
"If you skip two levels, you have to save a lot of tuition!" Li Zhixin took a bite of fat and said suddenly.
"It's not about tuition, it's about saving two years!" Qi Baoman rolled his eyes and said, "Baozhu will work for two years in the morning, two more years of service, and two more years of salary!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Zhixin nodded again and again, and sandwiched another piece of meat for his wife.
Qi Baochang trained his son on the side, "Qi Weiming! It's not that I'm talking about you, you have to study hard, you are three years older than your aunt, and now your aunt has caught up! Don't be a day by day! ”
Shen Mengxi jumped to the second class of the fourth year, which happened to be in the same class as Qi Weiming. Qi Weiming scratched his head in distress, "My aunt is too, she jumped to the first class of four years if she skips a grade, but she has to jump to our class, where does this make my face go?" ”
Everyone laughed, Qi Baochang poked him in the head with hatred, and laughed, "Look at your unproductive appearance!" ”
"Second brother, yesterday Mr. Zhang praised Wei Ming, praising him for his strong oral arithmetic ability and logical thinking ability." Shen Mengxi hurriedly made up for Qi Weiming, so as not to discourage his enthusiasm for learning because of himself.
"What? What the hell? ”
"Oh, logical thinking, just praise your son!" Wang Hongmei said next to her.
"That is, how can our old Qi family have anything wrong? All of them are good! Qi Youde said solemnly.
"Our children, both male and female, have to provide for them as long as they want to go to school. After going to college, all the doctorates are offered! "Old Man Qi learned a new term on TV.
"Listen, Xiuzhi, you have to save more money, your girl is not allowed to go up to the doctor!" Qi Zhou said with a smile.
"Girl, what's on it!" Lu Xiuzhi said hypocritically.
"Up! No matter who you are, as long as you can get in, we will go to it, and we will also be on it if you smash the pot and sell iron! Old Man Qi slapped the table, "Look at the educated youth from Shanghai, who has a lot of knowledge, and is better at dealing with people than us, let's not talk about those who returned to the city, which one left behind didn't get a good job?" Let's just say that Baokang, it has only been half a year since I went to school in Harbin City, is it not much fun? His third uncle is highly educated, and Baokang wants to learn everything from others! ”
"No, the third brother-in-law is not comparable to anyone, he went to college in Nanjing before liberation." Lu Xiuzhi said with a sigh.
"My third uncle was a little guilty in those years." Qi Baoliang said with emotion.
"Okay, it's all in the past, say those gaha!" Qi Youde reprimanded his son, but he couldn't hold back, and said: "Your third aunt didn't suffer less, and she broke off the relationship with us back then in order not to implicate us." Alas, your father took us and a large family, from Shuangxian to Jiayang, and it has been 30 years. ”
He also pointed to his eldest son, "You guys, as well as Baoguo, were all born in Shuangxian. ”
"Why did our family come to Jiayang in the first place?" Shen Mengxi couldn't help but ask Old Man Qi.
"At that time, it was your uncle who responded to the leader's call to support the frontier, so he came to Jiayang first, first to the Xiangyang Police Station, and later to Dalizi, Point 3, and Qianjin Farm, where to move! Your eldest mother followed him to move all year round, your eldest brother and several of their children have suffered from old crimes, and the place where they live is also deserted, there are few families, and there is a family whose three-year-old children are all taken away by Zhang San. Later, I brought a family with me, as soon as I came, the name of the place of Taiping, the world is peaceful, how good! It's still close to the county seat, and it's settled here, and your uncle's family has also moved back to live with me, so they finally don't move, so they can run errands with him alone. Wait until your uncle retires. ”
"Oh, it turns out that the uncle is also an old policeman!" Shen Mengxi thought he was an authentic old farmer.
"Well, the police uniform at that time was not as good-looking as your dad's." Qi Youde said with a reserved smile.
"Your father was brought into the police by your uncle back then." Old Man Qi said.
"I see! Then why didn't Brother Baoliang enter the public security! ”
"He didn't go to the police, he was at the forestry station. Later, in the next few years, he asked people to rectify it, and he returned to Taiping. Old Man Qi was vague and brushed it aside.
Shen Mengxi was puzzled in his heart, even if he was rectified and lost his job, he could only be rehabilitated and resume his work, but when he saw Qi Baoliang's face full of unnaturalness, and saw Zhang Fengling rolling her eyes at Qi Baoliang, he stopped asking.
"Then why did my third aunt cut off relations with you?" Shen Mengxi asked Old Man Qi again.
"That's a long story." Old Man Qi sniffed the cigarette roll and clipped it to his ear, "Your third uncle is an old revolutionary, a big official, the daughter-in-law in front of him died early, and the organization arranged your third aunt, your third aunt is a full fifteen years younger than your third uncle, at that time I resolutely disagreed, but the organization decided, we can't help it, and we still get married."
Your third uncle was okay in Harbin City for the first few years, but later, it was not good. Who would have thought that he still has overseas connections! The pit died, and in six years, it turned over the past review, and within two years, it was a dry school. Your third aunt was afraid of ruining your second uncle's reputation as a martyr, and she was afraid that it would affect us, so she proposed to break off the relationship. Your third aunt lived in the cowshed for a few years, she took the two children to stand at home, and then your third uncle and their together, someone couldn't stand hanging and throwing into the river, your third aunt was afraid that he couldn't think about it, so he followed, and the two children were more than ten years old, and no one cared about them at home. It's only been good in the past few years, and I heard Baokang say that he has a big house. ”
Old Man Qi pointed to a photo in the photo frame on the wall and said, "That's the photo from your third aunt the year before last, and she is also a grandmother." ”
Shen Mengxi raised his head, he couldn't see the little figure in the tall photo frame at all, he only saw that it was a family of four, so he nodded and said, "Oh, so that's the case." ”
"I see!" Qi Security also interjected, "I didn't know anything before. ”
