"Hangou, a small village below Dawang Township, Longshan Town, Niuling County. ※As soon as you hear the name, you know that this is a poor place where birds don't poop. If Ningling is an old revolutionary area, the economy is backward enough, then these three ditches are so old that they are already half of their bodies in the ground. The village is located in the innermost part of the ravine deep in the Wuwan Mountain. There are mountain roads to get to the village, bicycles can walk, horse-drawn carriages are not big and can barely pass, but BMWs are absolutely not good. There are about 200 households in the village, and the annual per capita income is less than Jinyuan, making it a well-known poor and backward village.

Ji Xian'er's home lives here.

At the age of seventeen, she walked out of the mountains.

In the countryside, few of the children who have left the mountains are willing to return.

The same goes for her.

But, because of it, no matter how busy she is. Every half a month or so, I always take the time to come back, and by the way, I bring back a lot of white noodles and dry goods. The old man is many years old, but his teeth are not bad, and he can basically eat anything. When people are old, everything is fake. A good pair of teeth is fundamental.

She didn't really want to toss back and forth like this, but she couldn't help it, every time before leaving, she would leave the money in the small tin box, and told her grandmother to spend the money. But when she opens it the next time she comes back, she will always find that the money is still there as it is.

Today is the sixth day she has returned home.

In the past, she had to leave after a night at most, but now that she has no job, she doesn't have to rush. Therefore, I lived at home with peace of mind.

Today, there happened to be a family killing pigs in the east of the village, so Ji Xian'er hurriedly ran over to buy a front hoof and two catties of small ribs, and weighed some pork loins and more than a dozen catties of pork belly. The hooves were braised and the pork ribs were stewed, and the dozen catties of pork belly she planned to castrate with salt, so that she would not spend money to buy meat to eat when she was gone.

After an afternoon of working in the kitchen, she got her meal ready.

I wiped my hands with my apron and walked out of the kitchen with my fragrant braised hooves. At the same time, he shouted outside the courtyard: "Grandma, the meal is ready, go back to the house to eat." ”

"Dian!" Grandma answered. Put away the little maza and go back inside.

At the dinner table, after not eating two bites, grandma nagged: "Xian'er, you have been out for so many years, why don't you have a man who is compatible?" ”

Every day when she eats, her grandmother just nagged these words back and forth, and Ji Xian'er was so calloused that her ears were about to become calloused, so she hummed softly and wanted to fool her.

"Xian'er, you're not too young, it's really not good, I think I'll let Aunt Wang help you get one. Let's go, we don't want anything in the mountains, as long as people are honest, and ah."

"Grandma!" Ji Xian'er couldn't listen anymore, so she quickly put down her chopsticks and interrupted her grandmother.

Grandma knows the temper of the self-bow girl, and to put it nicely, she has to be strong, but in fact, to put it bluntly, she is stubborn, just like her grandfather. Sighed at the moment. I won't go on any more.

Seeing that grandma sighed and didn't speak, Ji Xian'er was a little overset, so she could only lower her head and stammer: "Grandma, actually, in fact, Xian'er already has someone in her heart." ”

Grandma's eyes lit up when she heard this, she took her granddaughter's hand, and said with great joy: "Xian'er, really, really?" ”

Ji Xian'er bit her lip and hummed softly.

"What's that kid's name, what is he doing, isn't he honest?" The old man asked again and again, and what she repeatedly emphasized was that she was honest, and those who had no money came second, for fear that her granddaughter would be bullied.

"He, he's an official." Ji Xian'er didn't dare to say it thoroughly. In fact, even if she really said Chen Yang's position, her grandmother wouldn't understand it, and she wouldn't be scared.

The old man was naturally afraid of being an official, and when he heard this, he became a little anxious: "Xian'er, we are from the mountains, you, you find someone to be an official, what if he treats you badly?" We don't have a man in our family who can speak, you will be bullied in the future, let's do this"

"Grandma, don't worry, he's very good to me, really."

Ji Xian'er hurriedly comforted her grandmother, and then subconsciously glanced out of the wooden window.

Two days ago, I went to the brigade to call Chen Yang from a fixed phone, and when she heard that Chen Yang was also working in Ningling, she was excited for a while, so she thought that she could let Chen Yang take a trip to the mountains. But a few times the words came to his mouth, but he swallowed them back for some reason.

At this time, I saw that the sky outside the window was already dark, and the mountains were no better than the county and city, there were street lights everywhere, as long as the sky was dark, basically even the ox cart did not dare to take the mountain road.

Thinking of this, she felt a little disappointed, and couldn't help but sigh faintly in her heart, tomorrow is Monday again, he is so busy with work, he shouldn't come, right?

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, there was a sharp knock on the door outside the courtyard.

"Hey, he's really here?"

The loneliness on Ji Xian'er's face was swept away. Quickly put down the chopsticks, got up with a happy face and ran to the outer courtyard to open the door.

Lift the deadbolt and squeak the handle

It's a pity that it was not Chen Yang outside the door, but a group of men with flashlights, at least thirty people.

"Second Uncle Yan, why are you here?"

Ji Xian'er's face froze, and she glanced at the person who came in some surprise, frowning and asking the old man who was in the lead.

This second uncle Yan is the village chief and village party secretary of Sandungou, the only person in this village, the surname Yan is a big family in the village, and he looks down on people with foreign surnames on weekdays, especially Ji Xian'er and their family.

At that time, his second boy, who was still studying in the county middle school, had been pursuing Ji Xian'er, and he didn't agree with it, but when he saw that his son was going to die or live, he reluctantly went to Ji's house to say goodbye.

Although Ji Xian'er hated the second boy of the Yan family who pestered her all day long, fortunately, Grandpa Ji was still alive at that time, and he had already seen that the second boy of the Yan family was not a good thing, so he used a stick to blow away the matchmaker who came to the door to say goodbye, and what kind of bride price and other things were also thrown out of the door.

Lao Yan's family was disgraced, and he was quite unhappy with his breath in his heart, so he used his authority to make things difficult for their Ji family in the village, such as the relief funds allocated by the state to poor counties, pesticides and fertilizers and other means of production, etc., are all kinds of difficulties.

Ji Xian'er's grandfather was not in good health, and he was sick several times. Speaking of which, part of the reason why Ji Xian'er went out to work when she was a minor is due here. The family has not much land, and it is very poor, if she does not go out to earn money. It is estimated that her grandfather died early because he had no money for treatment.

Originally, the second son of the Yan family was on the eve, and after the first got married, this matter was forgotten. But after Ji Xian'er went out to make a lot of money, she gradually became a cow, and helped the villagers do a few good things, and the people in the village often talked about Ji Xian'er's goodness, which inevitably affected their Yan family's status in the village.

Not only that, Ji Xian'er also proposed several times at the villagers' meeting that the development of the village was not in the right way, and even really proposed to re-elect a village chief to lead everyone to get rich. Isn't this a slap in the face? Lao Yantou became more and more uncomfortable in his heart, and he kept thinking about finding an opportunity to cure this ignorant girl. Isn't it great to be rich? In these three ditches, it is still our old Yan family who has the final say.

No, the opportunity will come.

Just after noon today, Yan Wu, the second son who is the deputy director of the township police station, called. It was said that there were several girls in their village who worked in the county who were arrested on suspicion of prostitution, and they asked the village to collect them because of their age, and they paid the fine by the way.

Coincidentally, these girls who were working outside were all introduced by Ji Xian'er.

So, after bringing the people back. Village Chief Yan Lixia non-stop led a large number of people to settle accounts with Ji Xian'er.

There are people standing outside, except for the people of the old Yan family. It's all the parents or relatives and friends of the girls who were arrested.

"Tie her up for me!"

Old man Yan pointed at Ji Xian'er with a dry tobacco pouch, and gave an order without saying a word.

Immediately behind him, two young men came out of the crowd, holding a homemade thick hemp rope in their hands, and they were about to catch Ji Xian'er.

"What are you going to do?"

Ji Xian'er was inexplicable for a while, shouting and retreating again and again.

But she was the opponent of the two young people, and she was stopped by the two young people in three or two clicks and tied up.

"Let me go! Do you know that you are breaking the law! Ji Xian'er struggled again and again.

Grandma Ji in the house also heard her granddaughter's call for help at this time, and hurriedly ran out, as soon as she saw her granddaughter being tied up, she was anxious, and shouted with a sobbing voice: "Village Chief Yan, what are you doing, let go of my granddaughter." While shouting, he rushed up to help his granddaughter untie.

The two young people really didn't dare to do anything to the old man, and they were a little stunned for a while.

Village Chief Yan took a step forward with a dark face, and shouted in his mouth: "Aunt Zhang, I sue you, your granddaughter has done something that hurts the heavens and reason, and if you know each other, let it go quickly, otherwise you won't have a piece of good fruit to eat!" After speaking, he pushed Grandma Ji away.

Grandma Ji is getting older, her legs and feet are a little weak, she loses her center of gravity for a while, and she falls to the ground with a miserable cry of "ah".

When Ji Xian'er saw that her grandmother was beaten, she was anxious, and she didn't struggle anymore, crying: "Don't be embarrassed for my grandma, I'll go with you!" ”

Village Chief Yan snorted coldly, waved his big hand, and greeted everyone: "Pull her to the ancestral hall of the village for public trial, and ask the whole village to come and see, what kind of Cheng dù is this girl of the Ji family!" ”

Everyone shouted, flashlights, and left in a hurry.

"You goddamn bastards! There is no royal law in this world, why did you arrest my granddaughter to go to the ancestral hall? You damn it, seeing that there is no man in our old Ji family, you can bully you casually

Grandma Ji fell very hard just now, and she couldn't get up for a while, so she sat down and cried and grabbed the ground wW
