Chapter 147: Fanning the Flames
"Yes, yes, I was still thinking about this just now, if you didn't come back, I was still wondering if there was anyone who could go to Jiangcheng Li instead of you! I thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with it, but now it's okay, you're back. I can get a good night's sleep, too! ”
The village party secretary took two puffs of cigarette, finished speaking very happily, and then asked:
"Girl, have you ever thought about when to get up?"
"Uncle, I also thought about it yesterday, these mushrooms can't be left for too long, I want to go to Jiangcheng as soon as possible."
"Yes, you're right, then you can go back and prepare early!"
"Okay,"
Amy turned and left.
At lunchtime, the village party secretary chatted with his family about this matter, and kept sighing:
"I didn't expect that Amy's girl, who looks weak, is actually very capable."
Mother Yan looked at her man and asked:
"What's going on?"
"You know what? This time, the bad guy in our village who lived in the cowshed was injured and went to the hospital, she didn't ask the village for a penny, and directly solved it herself, I was worried about the mushrooms this morning and had nowhere to sell, but I didn't expect people to come to our house and say they wanted to help us. It's really literate, it's amazing. ”
The village party secretary leaned forward and said to Yan's mother.
Yan Xiaoxi was eating, when she heard her father praise Amy, which made her feel uncomfortable, she put the chopsticks on the bowl, and then said:
"Dad, I heard Aze say that Amy's home is in Jiangcheng, you said that she is so active in selling mushrooms, could it be that she has other plans? For example, she sent some mushrooms to her family, and then lied to us that the price of mushrooms had fallen. ”
"You baby, why are you talking?"
The village party secretary reprimanded Yan Xiaoxi, but in his heart he also felt that the heart of harming people was indispensable, and the heart of guarding against people was indispensable, so he kept this matter in his heart.
"Dad, you murder me, you murder me for an outsider."
After Yan Xiaoxi finished speaking, he slapped his chopsticks on the table vigorously, and then ran out crying. The village party secretary looked at Yan's mother with a confused expression.
"Look at what I'm doing, the child came out of the village because he was alone, and his stomach was not smooth, and you still praised the girl in the city in front of her, it's strange that Xiaoxi doesn't lose his temper!"
Yan's mother cleaned up Yan Xiaoxi's dishes and chopsticks, and then beckoned her son and daughter-in-law to continue eating.
Yan Xiaoxi ran out alone and came to the Zhiqing Point, she originally wanted to seek comfort from Zhou Yize, but she ran into Liu Jianfang:
"Girl, what's wrong, why don't you look happy."
"It's okay, it's just that my dad told me today."
When asked the reason for her bad mood, Yan Xiaoxi felt that she was becoming more and more wronged, biting her lower lip, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden.
"Hey, because of something, the village party secretary said that you look like this, and you are about to cry like a flower-faced cat when you look at your little face."
Liu Jianfang took a basin of dirty clothes in his hand, gently tugged Yan Xiaoxi's sleeve with his free hand, and then said:
"Since you don't want to talk about it here, that's right, I'm going to the river to wash clothes, let's go to the river to talk, there must be no one by the river at this point."
Yan Xiaoxi was originally reluctant to go, but Liu Jianfang was too enthusiastic, so she had to follow.
When she arrived at Xiaohe, Liu Jianfang put her clothes aside, sat on the dry soil by the river with her hands and legs crossed, and Yan Xiaoxi also followed her example and sat by the river.
She picked up a stone and threw it into the river, causing ripples on the calm surface. She opened her mouth and said:
"Sister Jianfang, did you say that Amy is really very good, so good that I can't catch up with her no matter how hard I try."
"Hmm...... Amy is very good, but the biggest reason is that she has Ming Ke by her side, and if she doesn't have Ming Ke, she can't succeed in anything. ”
"So, you also admit that she is very good?"
Yan Xiaoxi held his chin with his hands on an unhappy face, and his eyes looked straight at the ripples that were about to disappear on the surface of the river.
"Hmm...... It's not like she's good, Creek, you know? In this world, there are people like Amy who rely on men for everything, and you and me who have to rely on themselves for everything. Even if we had two more hands, we wouldn't be able to keep up with the help of so many of her people. So, let's resign ourselves to our fate! Who makes us not seduce men like Amy! ”
Liu Jianfang stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder comfortingly.
When Yan Xiaoxi heard this, the expression on his face did not change, but he thought in his heart:
"When you opened up the wasteland this year, you didn't rely on the eldest brother of the Wang family to open up the most wasteland, and you and her could only be regarded as half a catty to eight taels."
Thinking of this, Yan Xiaoxi became even more irritable, she felt that it was a mistake for her to follow Liu Jianfang today. I wanted to leave with her, but I didn't expect Liu Jianfang to speak first:
"Xiaoxi, I want to ask you, do you know where your father plans to sell the batch of mushrooms we exchanged for grain?"
The food eaten in the past few days is disgusting, and Liu Jianfang feels that she will definitely die in the Zhiqing point if she continues like this, so she started the idea of that batch of mushrooms.
"I heard my dad say that it seems that Amy will bring it to Jiangcheng to sell in the next few days."
Yan Xiaoxi replied truthfully, and when she saw that Liu Jianfang was about to say something, she preemptively said:
"Sister Jianfang, now that I think about it, there are still some things at home, so I won't accompany you to wash your clothes here, you can wash it yourself!"
After speaking, Yan Xiaoxi left as if fleeing.
Seeing this, Liu Jianfang muttered: "Phew, if it weren't for your father's face, do you think I would be as good to you as I am now?" ”
Then, she started to do the laundry, but the more she washed it, the more the fire in her stomach grew, and Amy could go back to the city several times a year, while they could only stay in this place where the birds didn't.
In the end, Liu Jianfang simply threw the clothes in the basin, rolled his eyes twice, put all the clothes away, and returned to the Zhiqing Point with the unwashed clothes.
Sun Wei was repairing a bench in the yard at this time, and since he came to the Zhiqing Point, none of them could rely on themselves.
When Liu Jianfang passed by him, he paused deliberately, as if unintentionally:
"I really envy Amy that she can go home again."
"Why go home, could it be that the above has given us educated youth a holiday?"
Sure enough, Sun Wei heard what she said, and immediately turned around and raised his head to ask.
"What a holiday, how can you think about those beautiful things!"
Liu Jianfang turned around and pouted, looking unhappy.
"Didn't you say that you envy Amy for going home? Why can she go back, we can't. ”
"Oh, Amy has something serious to do when she goes back, didn't we pick a lot of mushrooms? She went back to sell those mushrooms. It's not about going home and saving relatives. ”
"Who did you listen to?"
Now Sun Wei didn't even repair the stool, stood up and looked at her angrily.
"It was Xiaoxi who told me, his father is the village party secretary of our village, and this must not be false."
"Why can Amy go back to the city by selling mushrooms, we can't, no, I'm going to find Zhou Yize now."
As he spoke, he threw all the wood in his hand on the ground, and was about to leave after Liu Jianfang.
"Hey, hey, what are you going to do with Zhou Yize, he doesn't know about it."
Liu Jianfang stretched out his hand to stop him and said:
"I want me to see that you have to go to Amy, as long as she says to change with you, even the village party secretary can't say anything, it's just that I don't think Amy will change with you, she is still so young, she finally has the opportunity to go home, how can she let it out?"
"Even if she is the king of heaven, Lao Tzu has to spit out this quota for me today, why does it fall on her every time there is such a good thing, but we mushroom pickers can only eat old grain."
Sun Wei looked unconvinced, shook off Liu Jianfang's hand and walked out.
Liu Jianfang saw that his goal had been achieved, and happily took his clothes to the river.
In the past few days, the crops in the field have been planted, and most of the people are busy with their family affairs, and Grandma Wang is no exception.
Sun Wei didn't beat around the bush and came directly to Grandma Wang's house. As soon as I saw Amy, I said straight to the point:
"Amy, I've heard that you're going to the city to sell mushrooms, give me that spot! I'll help you go to Jiangcheng to sell mushrooms. ”
"Who did you listen to?"
Amy sat up from the kang, got off the ground, and walked up to him and asked.
"You don't care who I said it, just say if there is such a thing!"
"Well, I'm planning to go to Jiangcheng recently and sell the mushrooms you picked. How? Do you want to go too? ”
"Nonsense, who doesn't want to go to the city, you've been there a few times this year, it's better to give me this opportunity, otherwise, it's not easy to explain from above, after all, educated youths are not allowed to enter the city."
Sun Wei looks like I'm thinking about you.
"I have to walk a lot to find a place to harvest hazelnuts in the city, I ......"
Amy was halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Sun Wei, who said impatiently: "You can find it, are you afraid that I won't find it?" You just say if you want to give me a place. ”
Sun Wei looked down on people, which angered Amy, she replied: "No" rolled her eyes, turned around and returned to Grandma Wang's side.
When Sun Wei heard her words, he strode to the edge of the kang and threatened:
"You repeat what you just said, believe it or not, I will go to the town tomorrow to report you, let the higher authorities know about this matter, and you can't eat and walk around."
"Then you go, I'm doing things for the village, and I'm holding the slip and son opened by the village party secretary himself, what do I have to be afraid of."
Amy didn't look back and said.
Seeing this, Sun Wei had no choice, turned around and left and went to the village party secretary's house.
As soon as the village party secretary heard his intention, he hugged his head with his hand, and secretly complained in his heart that Amy was blind everywhere whenever he had a little thing, and in the end he made it difficult for him to do it.
