Chapter 25: The First Date

"Since I was kicked out of the house by my grandfather, I have been running around the world for my home," Yu Shijie succinctly skipped his experience and changed the subject, "Do you know that now is the reform and opening up, and many places have quietly begun to implement the policy of dividing the land, contracting production to households, and allowing individuals to do business, have you ever thought about opening a clothing store by yourself?" ”

Lin Duoduo was secretly surprised by Yu Shijie's change in thinking and cognition, and suddenly had a lot to talk to him, but when he remembered that he had to deliver food to Xia Guizhi, he stopped talking and said, "How can I have the money to open a store?" Brother San'er, let's talk another day, I have to go to the ground to deliver food to my mother. ”

"I'll send it to her, you haven't slept all night, you have to rest." Yu Shijie got up and went to the stove house, lifted the lid of the pot, took four wowotou, and filled a can of warm boiled water, wrapped it in a white cage cloth.

Lin Duoduo hurriedly stood up and refused, "Don't bother you, I'll just go by myself." ”

"Just now I'm going to the back mountain," Yu Shijie couldn't refuse to hold the burden in his arms, went to the yard to ride a bicycle, and then called the two children and said: "Three Mao and Four Mao, you two have finished eating, and it's okay to be idle at home, help me shear the rabbit?" ”

"Okay, okay," the two children responded enthusiastically, running to the yard and getting on their bicycles one after the other.

Yu Shijie rode and walked away quickly.

Lin Duoduo couldn't stop him, so he had to follow him.

She didn't sleep all night, she was really tired, she hastily ate a nest, drank some porridge, and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was dusk.

The sunset that sank over the western mountains streaked through the windows with a dim glow, but unfortunately, it didn't rain.

"Second sister, second sister," Lin Rufang ran in from outside, leaned on Lin Duoduo's ear, and whispered, "I just heard that the people from the educated youth point will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"What?" Lin Duoduo was shocked in his heart, and sat up on the ground, "Gone, where did you go?" ”

Lin Rufang said: "I'm back in Kyoto." ”

Lin Duoduo had long known that there would be this day, and she was ready to temporarily separate from Shen Mingci, but this moment really came, and it was so sudden, she didn't even have a chance to say goodbye, not to mention how uncomfortable she felt in her heart.

His nose was sore, and his eyes were instantly moist.

"Second sister, are you reluctant to Comrade Shen?" Lin Rufang hugged Lin Duoduo's arm, wiped her tears, made a grimace and said, "Do you have any letters or anything that you want me to give to Comrade Shen?" When he returns to Kyoto tomorrow, we won't have a chance to see him again. ”

Lin Rufang inadvertently reminded her like this, and Lin Duoduo remembered the set of clothes she made a few days ago.

She quickly got up and got out of bed and went to the stove fire house, took it out of the pile of wheat straw, rolled it into a small ball, stuffed it into a cloth pocket, handed it to Lin Rufang, and told her: "Don't be seen by Liu Qingyuan." ”

"That's it?" Lin Rufang pursed her lips, "Don't you write a love letter to Comrade Shen or something?" ”

"What do you little girl know," Lin Duoduo was amused, and reached out to nod on Lin Rufang's forehead, "I just thank Comrade Shen for taking care of us." ”

"I'm thirteen years old this year, so I'm not a little girl," Lin Rufang stuck out her tongue and said mischievously: "Second sister, I understand what you said to Liu Qingyuan yesterday, in fact, I also like Comrade Shen, he is the best and best brother in the world, but it's a pity that I will never see him again." ”

Lin Rufang sighed like a little adult, and her eyes turned red.

Lin Duoduo realized that she had always treated Lin Rufang as a child, and almost forgot that she was thirteen years old this year and already had a girl's heart.

Otherwise, she would not have disobeyed Xia Guizhi, helped herself lie, and exonerated Shen Mingci.

I really didn't expect the third sister, who had little contact in the previous life, to be so intimate with herself when she was young, Lin Duoduo was very relieved in her heart, and urged her to say: "Go quickly, don't be seen by our mother." ”

"Hey!" Lin Rufang held the cloth pocket in her arms and ran away as if she were flying.

An hour later, she flew back again, panting and said, "Second sister, Liu Qingyuan scolded me back, she didn't let me in, and threw the clothes you made into the stinky ditch." ”

Lin Duoduo put down the knife that cut vegetables, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Rufang said: "She said that her mother was to blame, Comrade Shen couldn't go back to the city, and he had to be sent to other educated youths." ”

Lin Duoduo's heart was mixed.

thought that Shen Mingci's fate had been changed, but he suffered ups and downs again, was God destined him to have a bad fate?

"Ermao, let me tell you something." Xia Guizhi suddenly opened the curtain and walked in.

As soon as she saw Xia Guizhi, Lin Rufang turned around and ran away.

Xia Guizhi was so angry in her heart that she couldn't wait to catch up with her and beat her hard, but now there was a more important thing to do, so she could only spare Sanniezi first.

"Ermao," Xia Guizhi hugged her sheets and pillows, put them on the wheat straw bed, sat down in front of the stove and said, "Tonight, Mom sleeps on this bed, and you go to sleep in the big bed." ”

"Oh," Lin Duoduo was thinking about Shen Mingci's matter, and responded perfunctorily, "Mom, I suddenly remembered that I was in a bit of a hurry, I have to go out for a while, you can cook." ”

Xia Guizhi wanted to say something more, but Lin Duoduo didn't have the heart to listen, she wanted to go to the county seat to find Liu Wu now, and ask what was going on, why she wanted to detain Shen Mingci.

After throwing the spatula to Xia Guizhi, Lin Duoduo went to push the bicycle.

Xia Guizhi chased after him uneasily, "Ermao, it's so late, what are you doing?" ”

"Something!" Lin Duoduo got on his bicycle and walked away without looking back.

Xia Guizhi was so angry that she threw the spatula on the ground and called Lin Tianci, "Simao, you go and get Sanmao back, just say that your mother will give her eggs." ”

If you can't cure the big ones, you can't take the small ones to spread your anger?

-

"Comrade Lin, wait a minute."

Lin Duoduo had just ridden the big lotus root pit when an unexpected person stopped her.

It's Ye Haolong.

He walked out from behind the big poplar tree, took off the lotus leaf on his head, and said in a rare and serious manner: "Shen Mingci asked me to bring you a message, his affairs have nothing to do with your adoptive mother, don't think about it." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Lin Duoduo was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly remembered someone, Shen Mingci's own mother, He Shuxian, who abandoned her husband and son in order to protect herself, she suddenly realized.

In the last life, in order to save her son's heart, He Shuxian did not work hard to toss Shen Mingci, it is said that he stayed in the labor camp for five years, and she had a share of the credit, in order to let Shen Mingci call her mother.

However, when the son followed the mother's nature, the ruthless He Shuxian abandoned her husband and son, and smashed the Shen family with her own hands, the young Shen Mingci had already been heartbroken by her, he would rather go to prison and be a despised body after being released from prison, and never bow to her.

Later, the two of them fought in the officialdom of the shopping mall for most of their lives, and in the end, Shen Mingci was forced to become a big profiteer by his high-ranking mother, and He Shuxian also died tragically with infinite regret.

The fact that Shen Mingci couldn't return to the city this time was that He Shuxian used his skills and connections to make him give in and admit his mistakes.

The more Lin Duoduo thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, so he pedaled his bicycle, caught up with Ye Haolong and said, "Where is Comrade Shen now?" I want to meet him. ”

Ye Haolong said, "Let's go." ”

"Where is he going?"

"A place called a ditch."

Jiagou, that is a poorer place than Dahuangzhuang, there is no land, the mountains are full of stones, there is no way to farm, as soon as the whole village comes to harvest the crops, they will collectively go out to beg for food.

How could Shen Mingci receive that kind of sin!

"She's really ......ruthless enough," Lin Duoduo secretly greeted He Shuxian, and then asked Ye Haolong, "How long has Comrade Shen been gone?" ”

"I said, why do you have so many questions, you don't really want to marry Shen Mingci, do you?" Ye Haolong's eyes narrowed, and he looked at this anxious little girl with an anxious face a little interestingly, and teased her: "Brother will tell you the truth, you are not playing!" The threshold of the Shen family, you rural girl, can't get in. ”

Lin Duoduo ignored his teasing and asked, "How long has he been gone?" ”

Ye Haolong said casually, "Ten minutes." ”

"Thank you." Lin Duoduo pushed the cart and left, she wanted to catch up with Shen Mingci and talk to him.

Ye Haolong saw that she didn't go home, but walked in the direction of the back mountain, so he chased after her and asked, "Girl, where are you going?" Could it be that you are going to find Shen Mingci in that broken ravine? ”

Lin Duoduo ignored him and bowed his head and walked on his own.

Ye Haolong followed behind for a while, and when he saw that she was really walking to the back mountain, he pulled the tail of the car and said, "Come on, brother won't tease you, Shen Mingci still has a word for me to tell you, he asked you to wait for him at Dayantang at eight o'clock tonight." ”

"Really?" Lin Duoduo stopped at this time.

"Really."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Duoduo was anxious, and his tone couldn't help but be a little impulsive.

"I don't want to test you for my family boss, it turns out that my family boss is not wrong, your girl really has no ill will towards him, compared with your adoptive mother and adoptive sister, she is much kinder in her heart."

After Ye Haolong finished speaking, he whistled loudly, held the lotus leaves with his hands behind his back, and walked away humming a song.

"Comrade Ye, please wait a minute," Seeing his swaggering appearance, Lin Duoduo couldn't help but think of the invisible hands in the commune, she called Ye Haolong uneasily, and said, "Please tell Comrade Shen that I will wait for him under the big rhubarb tree in Wuli Tomb." ”

"Yo, Wuli Tomb, do you dare to go on this big night?" Ye Haolong didn't expect that this girl had a lot of eyes and was bold enough.

"Hmm." Lin Duoduo told him again, "Also, don't let people hear it, I don't want Comrade Shen to bear the charge of hooliganism again, you know what I mean, right?" ”

"Hey!" Ye Haolong was happy, covered his mouth and whispered, "Don't worry, my brother promises to make your date successful." ”

Appointment?

When Lin Duoduo heard this word, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

In fact, she was in a hurry to find Shen Mingci for something else, and she didn't realize that this was a date between men and women.

When Ye Haolong said this, his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.

In his previous life, Shen Mingci and the two of them had never had a serious date, he suddenly appeared in Dahuangzhuang and unexpectedly said that he wanted to marry her, and then before she thought about it, he directly threw 10,000 yuan, and asked Xia Guizhi to agree to take people away, and received a marriage certificate on the same day, and took her into the grave of marriage in a daze.

Tonight, will there be any surprises?

Lin Duoduo is full of expectations.
