In the courtyard cellar.

Li Weidong looked at the neatly stacked radish and cabbage around him, and felt a lot of emotion.

Back then, he exchanged experiences with Qin Huairu here.

It was only later that as he became the director of the poverty alleviation workshop, he had a separate studio in the rolling mill.

The cellar was dark and cold, where was the bed in the studio comfortable, besides, it was interesting to discredit where the lights were on, so the position was transferred to the studio.

I thought I would never use this cellar again in my life.

I didn't expect it to be only a few days.

"I lost time just now, Jia Zhang's should be hungry, Brother Wei Dong, I have to go back and feed Jia Zhang's first."

Jia Taohua got dressed and was about to go out in a hurry.

was pulled by Li Weidong.

"Wait, there's news about your school."

"Really? So fast? Jia Taohua turned her head, although in the dark, she couldn't see her face, but the tremor from her little hand couldn't be faked.

Li Weidong said with a smile: "Of course, I talked to the director of education at the rolling mill high school this morning, and you have some trouble going to school, because first, you are relatively old, and you have long passed the age of going to high school, and second, you are a member of the society, and the rolling mill high school only recruits the children of rolling mill workers. ”

Hearing this, Jia Taohua's spirit was a little lost, and she said in disappointment: "Brother Weidong, if it doesn't work, forget it, studying at my age is originally wishful thinking." ”

Li Weidong smiled: "Don't worry, listen to me." Although it is a little difficult, it is not impossible. Your dad seems to be the captain of the production team, isn't he? ”

"Well, my dad can talk in the commune." Jia Taohua nodded.

"The commune is qualified to nominate students to school."

Jia Taohua also knows this policy, but the policy is a policy, there are so many communes in the suburbs of the capital, and the quota is very limited, and Jiajiazhuang has not been allocated a quota for several years.

However, she was not in a hurry to speak, because Li Weidong must have been sure of this idea.

Really.

Li Weidong continued: "I can go around the relationship between the rolling mill and ask the rolling mill to specially allocate a high school place for your commune, and if you ask your father to get ready, you can go to the rolling mill high school smoothly." ”

Hearing this, Jia Taohua suddenly became excited.

As long as she has a place, she will be able to realize her dream of going to school.

"Let's chirp"

Jia Taohua took a bite on Li Weidong's face and said excitedly: "Brother Weidong, thank you so much." ”

Jia Taohua knew that Li Weidong must have worked hard to get the rolling mill to deliberately come up with a place.

Since there are still two months to go before the college entrance examination, if Jia Taohua is not sent to high school as soon as possible, she will not be able to catch up with the college entrance examination.

Li Weidong did not delay the matter, and after leaving the cellar, he went to the rolling mill and found a director of the planning department.

Every year, the rolling mill allocates places to the surrounding communes as a sign of support for the communes.

No matter which commune the quota is allocated to, it can be, so the director of the planning department agreed without hesitation.

Soon, a letter sent from the rolling mill was delivered by the postman to the commune of Jiajia Village.

The other side.

After Jia Taohua came out of the cellar, she found Qin Huairu and said that she wanted to take half a day off.

"Sister Huairu, I'm a little homesick and want to go back and see."

Today is the weekend, Qin Huairu happened to have no job and didn't need to go to work in the rolling mill, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of Jia Zhang's family today, you can come back tomorrow."

In order to make it easier for Jia Taohua to go home, Qin Huairu also deliberately spent five cents to borrow a bicycle for Jia Taohua from Yanbu's noble family.

When Jia Taohua rode her bicycle back to Jiajiazhuang.

At this time, it was almost noon, Jia Shan finished work, walked in from the outside with a hoe, and was a little surprised to see Jia Taohua appear at the door.

"Peach Blossom, why are you back? Shouldn't you be in the city to take care of the Jia Zhang family? ”

"Dad, I'm coming back for a big deal."

Hearing the big event, Jia Shan frowned: "Peach Blossom, you won't cause trouble in the capital, right?" ”

"Dad, what do you want! It's a good thing. ”

Jia Taohua pulled Jia Shan into the house and told him about going to school.

Hearing that there were nobles in the capital who were willing to help Jia Taohua go to school, Jia Shan stood up excitedly.

He knew his daughter's wishes, but the family was really poor at that time, and when the old man in the family was sick and urgently needed money to treat the old man, there was really no way to let Jia Taohua drop out of school.

This is Jia Shan's lifelong regret.

Now that he knew that there was such an opportunity, Jia Shan agreed without hesitation.

"Girl, don't worry, I'll go to the commune to talk to the leader about this now, as soon as the quota over there is up, you can go to school immediately."

"Brother Wei Dong said that the quota can be sent to our commune today." Jia Taohua said with some concern: "I heard that Yuan Datou in the commune is not a good thing, he won't embarrass us, right?" ”

Yuan Datou is Yuan Dabao's father, and he got this nickname because of his relatively large head, so that the people in the commune have long forgotten Yuan Datou's real name.

Even when the leaders of the town came to inspect the commune, they kept calling him "Yuan Datou".

Jia Shan waved his hand disapprovingly: "It's okay, according to the rules of our commune, whoever runs down the quota quota will belong to whoever is wronged, and the wronged boss will not dare to break the rules." ”

After Jia Shan finished speaking, he took two sips of water from the enamel jar, and was about to go to the commune.

"Daddy, you get on your bike." Jia Taohua pointed to the bicycle and said.

Jia Shan waved his hand: "Don't, this thing is too expensive, if it bumps, we can't afford it." ”

"You wait at home for a while, your mother will go to help Aunt Zhang next door work, and she will come back to help you cook later."

"Howler!"

Jia Shan trotted all the way to the commune and told Yuan Datou about the high school quota in the rolling mill.

After listening to this, Yuan Datou patted his chest on the spot and promised: "Brother, don't worry, I grew up watching Peach Blossoms, this matter is related to the future of Peach Blossoms, and when the quota of the rolling mill is sent, I will definitely send it to Peach Blossom in person." ”

Although Yuan Datou is not a thing, he is still good in front of Jia Shan on weekdays, Jia Shan is very prestigious in the village, and he does not dare to offend Jia Shan.

Therefore, Jia Shan didn't think much about it and went home.

Although Jia Taohua is an adult, she has never been far away, and Jia's mother has not seen her daughter for a while, and she is so excited that she can't close her mouth.

She deliberately took out two eggs that had been praised for a long time and made a bowl of egg noodles for Jia Taohua.

After eating, Jia Taohua thought about getting a place and then returning to the capital, so she stayed in Jiajiazhuang, chatting with her parents while waiting for news from Yuan Datou.

At this time, Yuan Datou had already received the letter sent by the postman.

Looking at the few big words of the rolling mill on the envelope, Yuan Datou sighed twice: "It is said that there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do, I am convinced, such an important place, I will send it when I say it, and I don't know which leader Jia Shan has gone through this time." ”

It happened that Yuan Dabao came to call Yuan Datou to eat, and pushed open the office and heard this.

He stepped forward and asked curiously, "Dad, what is the quota?" ”

"It's Jia Taohua, that girl is going to go to high school in the rolling mill, and maybe she can go to college in the future."

"What? Peach Blossom is going to high school? She is a rural girl, and she has only graduated from primary school, why can she enter high school in Beijing? ”

"If you don't say that people have the ability! You see, this is a letter sent by the Beijing Rolling Mill, and Jia Taohua was specially approved to go to study. ”

Yuan Datou handed the letter to Yuan Dabao.

Yuan Dabao's face changed greatly after reading the letter.

"No, no, I can't let Jia Taohua go to high school, otherwise, she won't be able to be my daughter-in-law."

Yuan Datou is actually very satisfied with Jia Taohua, this girl is outstanding, she is very good in life, and there is no one around who does not boast.

If he becomes Yuan Dabao's daughter-in-law, Yuan Dabao may be able to correct his lazy personality in the past.

But.

This quota was sent by the rolling mill, and even if he was the leader of the commune, there was no way to stop it.

"Dabao, you have nothing to do with Jia Taohua, I think it's okay."

"No, Dad, I won't marry a peach blossom in my life."

"But, this thing was given from above."

"What about the above?!" Yuan Dabao's expression was a little hideous, and he sneered: "The letter just said that Comrade Jia Taohua would go to the rolling mill high school to report, and it was not specified that it was Jia Taohua of Jia Shanjia, and my sister Yuan Lotus could also be renamed Jia Taohua!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Datou was suppressed.

This is Li Daitao, Yuan Datou subconsciously wanted to refuse Yuan Dabao, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was capable of doing it.

Just as Yuan Dabao analyzed, the letter did ask Jia Taohua to report for duty, but it did not specify which Jia Taohua it was.

Her daughter Yuan Hehua is the same age as Jia Taohua, she is eighteen years old this year, and she is a junior high school graduate, but because she was not admitted to middle and high school, she stayed in the commune as a correspondent.

Yuan Hehua replaced Jia Taohua to study in the high school of the rolling mill, even if he could not be admitted to college in the future and got a high school diploma, he would have a great chance to stay in the rolling mill.

The rolling mill high school is a school for the children of the rolling mill, and there must be many sons of the leaders of the rolling mill, if they know each other, with Yuan Lotus's appearance, it is not impossible to marry into the city in the future.

Then he Yuan Dabao is the father-in-law of the people in the city, and in the future in Jiajiazhuang Commune, no one will dare to make irresponsible remarks about him.

As for whether it will be discovered, Yuan Dabao is not worried.

He knew that Jia Shan had relatives in the city, and this indicator must have been run down by Jia Shan's relatives, and it was not a regular indicator, even if Yuan Lotus was exposed, the other party did not dare to say anything in order to calm things down.

Other than that.

Jia Taohua had no way to go to the city to study, so she could only obediently stay in Jiajiazhuang and marry his son Yuan Dabao.

It's a win-win thing.

A win-win situation is that Yuan Datou wins twice.

"Okay, Dabao, you have a good idea, let's do this!"

Yuan Datou is a courageous person who has always believed in the truth of seeking wealth and danger.

After deciding to send his daughter Yuan Hehua into the city, he immediately went through the relevant procedures.

Since then, there has been one less girl named Yuan Lotus in the world, and one more Jia Taohua.

And at this time.

Jia Taohua is still waiting for news at home.

When it got dark, I didn't get any news from the commune.

Jia Taohua couldn't sit still, and hurriedly urged Jia Shan to go to the commune to inquire about the situation.

When Jia Shan came to the commune, Yuan Datou told Jia Shan that he had not received any letter from the capital today.

"Brother Jia, I can understand your feelings, but this kind of thing can't be rushed, maybe in a few days, the letter will be delivered."

"Don't worry, when it arrives, I promise to send you home as soon as possible."

Seeing that Yuan Datou was so sincere, Jia Shan didn't think much about it, thanked him, and went home.

When Jia Taohua learned the news, she had no choice, remembering that she still had to take care of Jia Zhang's family, so she returned to the capital in discredit.

Back in the courtyard, Qin Huairu had been waiting for a long time, but she didn't complain about Jia Taohua.

"I just fed Jia Zhang's food and drank water, you just don't have to worry about her."

Qin Huairu saw Jia Taohua's dusty appearance, and said with a smile: "Later, you can boil a pot of hot water and wash it well, everyone in the city loves to be clean." ”

"Holo."

Jia Taohua got Qin Huairu's reminder, boiled hot water, and took a bath.

Before I knew it, it was more than ten o'clock in the evening.

Jia Taohua glanced into the backyard and saw that Li Weidong had not returned.

I was ready to go back to bed.

As soon as he walked to the door of the crescent moon, he saw Li Weidong humming a little song with his hands behind his back and coming in from outside.

Jia Taohua put down the basin, put her hands to her mouth, and learned to meow twice.

This is the code that Li Weidong agreed with her, if you want to meet, learn this code.

Li Weidong invited the director of the rolling mill high school to drink at the tavern this evening, and it was already finalized at the wine table, as long as Jia Taohua reported to the school, he would immediately help Jia Taohua go through the formalities.

After Li Weidong came back, he was also going to tell Jia Taohua the good news, but when he heard the sound of a cat, he looked left and right to see that there was no one, and flashed into the cellar.

"Peach blossom, you're so fragrant."

"I just took a shower and used soap."

This is the first time Jia Taohua has used soap, and she thinks that people in the city will really enjoy it.

"I've already told them that you can report to the rolling mill high school tomorrow."

"What?" Jia Taohua was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Brother Weidong, I haven't received a quota yet." ”

When Li Weidong heard this, he frowned: "What's going on?" I personally sent out your quota, and I also deliberately hung up an expedited one, from the rolling mill to your commune, which is only a distance of dozens of miles, and according to the calculation of time, it must have been delivered. ”

"It can't be that something went wrong in the middle, right?" Jia Taohua also frowned.

"Don't worry, when I get to work tomorrow, I'll go to the planning department and talk to Section Chief Zhang."

Li Weidong sniffed the fragrance on her body, and became a little uneasy.

The night is quiet.

There were occasional cat meows in the grass.

Early the next morning.

After Li Weidong woke up, he felt a little tired.

Come to think of it, it's been too much loss this time.

Yu Li had already cooked the meal.

"Brother Wei Dong, my mother has been unwell for the past two days, I have to go back to take care of her."

At this time, Yu Li's current old problem has been committed again, and she is living in the hospital.

Yu Li and Yu Haitang both have to go to work, and the two take turns to accompany their mother.

Because the hospital is relatively close to Yu's home, Yu Li has been living in Yu's house.

This morning, I came to get a change of clothes, and by the way, I helped Li Weidong make breakfast.

Li Weidong yawned and walked out.

"You pay attention to your body yourself."

"Got it, I'm fine!" Yu Li is still three or four months away from giving birth, and her body is stronger than that of ordinary pregnant women.

Li Weidong didn't worry too much.

Eaten.

I rode my bicycle to the Planning Section of the Rolling Mill. (End of chapter)
