Zou Jie actually wanted to recognize Yakzi as his younger brother, but this sudden move made Yakzi confused for a while.

He didn't speak, just looked at Zou Jie in a daze.

"What's the point, I'm not worthy of being your sister?" Zou Jie said, "I know, what you care about is your wood, didn't you say, do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, is that still wrong?"

Let me tell you, I also reasoned with the senior director of the commune in this way, I have already won it for you, just count the tree pits you dug out, you don't need to plant trees, there is a lot of wood for you, I have already opened a letter of introduction for you, you can take the letter of introduction to the forestry station to pull wood now. ”

After Zou Jie finished speaking, he took out a letter of introduction with a big red seal from his pocket and handed it to Yazi.

He took it with a trembling hand, and when he looked closely, it was clearly written in black and white, and it was really as Zou Jie said.

This change is so fast, he can't believe it, he fixed his mind, and confirmed it again, yes, it's true.

He was as happy as a child for a while, and said, "Thank you, leader, thank you, Director Zou, thank you!" ”

"Don't call me leader, don't call me Director Zou, call me Sister Zou."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you, Sister Zou." ”

Zou Jie smiled and said, "It's pretty much the same, go ahead, go to work." ”

When the members heard that this was the result, they were all relieved, and Zou Jie personally instructed Captain Wang Kui to find time to arrange a carriage to pull wood.

After the flower magpie learned the news, he knew that stealing chickens and rice would not be successful, and he felt bored.

Since then, she has never tried to please Zou Jie, but she also has to admire, this is the way to be an official, not only is the right thing done, but also the best of both worlds, no one has offended, with her own ability, be content with being a common man.

Let's say that Zou Jie has been eating and living at Teacher Ye's house for the past few days, and the Ye family does not dare to slack off.

Zou Jie followed the customs of the locals, very casual, helped Xiaomei's mother and Xiaomei cook, cleaned up the house, talked and laughed, and was not restrained at all.

At the beginning, Mr. Ye's family was wary of Zou Jie, especially Xiaomei, thinking that Zou Jie chose to live in her house because he wanted to do her ideological work, and persuaded her to marry Gao Laosan, the son of the commune director.

After a few short days of dating, the Ye family felt that Zou Jie was not the kind of scheming person, but thought that Zou Jie was very upright, very kind, very sensible, and very reasonable.

Besides, Zou Jie didn't mention Xiaomei and Gao Laosan at all.

Especially Zou Jie and Xiaomei, who are like-minded, appreciate each other, can talk very well, and their feelings are getting deeper and deeper.

Although Zou Jie is the women's director of the commune, as soon as she returned to the Ye family from the scene of the battle, she rushed to do the work, washed and washed everything, and did not have the slightest frame of being an official, just like her own family.

At night, Zou Jie and Xiaomei slept together, and the two sisters often talked on their knees, and they talked until the middle of the night.

Zou Jie said to Xiaomei: "It's been almost ten years since I arrived in Lushan, and I haven't seen a pure and beautiful girl like you."

Some girls have good appearances, but they can't stand a closer look, you are not only beautiful on the outside, but also have an indescribable inner beauty.

Seeing your handsome face, it's as if everything in this world is so beautiful.

Look at your clear and transparent eyes, as if they are spotless, innocent, and full of wisdom, without a little cheesiness, coupled with your dignified and steady, I even suspect that you are the happy girl in the legend of Xingfutun, it is really enviable, if I were a young man, I would definitely be fascinated when I saw you. ”

Where can Xiaomei afford such praise, covering her face with a quilt, and saying shamefully: "Are you praising me or are you cursing me?" Do you want to tell me, 'Since ancient times, there has been a thin life, and the green mound is left alone until dusk'? ”

Zou Jie said: "I'm telling the truth, what's 'how thin life', 'towards dusk'? Where did you learn this? I knew there was the word 'red face and trouble', and it was just right for you. ”

As soon as Xiaomei heard Zou Jie say that she was a "red face and trouble", she immediately beat her with her hands, and Zou Jie resisted with a pillow.

The two played in the middle of the night and woke up Xiaomei's younger brother Xiaoguang, who was separated by a wall.

I heard Xiaoguang say impatiently: "Don't make trouble, I'll go to school tomorrow." Then it quieted down.

The two men got into a quilt and whispered to each other under the covers.

Xiaomei said: "Sister Zou, you don't have to praise me, in fact, you are not only better looking than me, but also very temperamental. ”

Zou Jie revealed his life experience to Xiaomei.

Zou Jie said that she was born in a large family, a descendant of the declining aristocracy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because the family was difficult to support, when she was fourteen years old, the family promised her to a rich family to be a second house, she would rather die than obey, and fled to Siping alone.

When he was desperate, Zou Jie met a young and handsome Russian translator named He Wenduo.

According to He Wenduo, Zou Jie participated in the revolution, washing and cooking for the Soviet Red Army in the rear, and studying cultural classes and political theory in his spare time.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the organization arranged for her to go to Lushan Township, and began to set up a youth league and a women's association, organize youth activities, and publicize women's emancipation ideas.

Last year, after the establishment of the People's Commune, she worked full-time as the director of the Women's Association.

Zou Jie said that she is Chinese New Year's Eve years old this year and is not married, and Director Gao's third son has also pestered her, and she did not give him any chance.

Because of this, she once made him unable to get off the stage in front of many people, but she didn't want to offend him, after all, she bowed her head to his parents and didn't look up.

She promised Director Gao's lover that there would be a suitable girl to introduce her third son.

Later, Director Gao's third son fell in love with Xiaomei, and Director Gao's wife found her, and she told the secretary of the Happy Production Brigade and the principal of Happy Primary School the information.

After that, she entrusted the flower magpie to deal with it, that is, a matter of favor, but she didn't expect it to bring so much confusion and impact to Xiaomei.

Listening to Zou Jie's explanation, Xiaomei cried, crying very sadly.

Zou Jie said to Xiaomei: "Before, I didn't know what kind of person you were, I thought you were just a secular girl, and I wouldn't be wronged if I married her. Fortunately, you didn't promise him, if you were wronged and agreed to him, I would be a sin. ”

Xiaomei said: "I can't blame you for this, you are also out of good intentions, but I can't figure it out, it was originally a matter of reluctance between two people, why use means to take advantage of the situation to retaliate." ”

Zou Jie said: "According to my understanding for many years, Director Gao is a very honest and good cadre, but his wife does not dare to compliment, has a fox and a fake tiger side, and often does something that should not be done behind Director Gao's back."

I have also heard about the promotion of your father to be the principal of the primary school and the transfer of you to the central school to teach, both of which are normal arrangements, and the reason why it has not been moved for a long time is probably related to the intervention of Director Gao's wife.

It doesn't matter, there is a sister, you don't have to worry, wait for me to inquire when I go back to the commune, I dare not say that I can get justice for you, at least I can ask the reason. ”

Xiaomei was grateful, Zou Jie suddenly thought of someone and asked, "I heard that Old Man Gao is your grandfather, why don't you let him come forward?" ”

Xiaomei said: "You may not know my grandfather's temper, unless he is asked to save people, and the person who should be saved must be saved, otherwise he will never do anything to ask for people." ”

"No wonder, their old revolutionaries are like this." Zou Jie pondered for a moment and said, "Wen Duo is also this kind of person, serious and stubborn. ”

Xiaomei felt a trace of sadness from Zou Jie, so she asked: "Sister, you have something to say, tell me quickly, what is the relationship between you and Wen Duo?" Why aren't you getting married yet? ”

Zou Jie couldn't resist Xiaomei, and he also wanted to confide in his confidant, so he told the truth.

Zou Jie said that she had always liked the Russian translator He Wenduo, and He Wenduo also liked her.

He Wenduo is fifteen years older than her, studied in the Soviet Union in his early years, has a history of marriage, his daughter-in-law is a Russian girl, and she also gave birth to a girl. Because of the tension between China and the Soviet Union, the mother and daughter are still living in the Soviet Union, there is no way to reunite, and their marriage has actually died in name.

Because Zou Jie admired He Wenduo, he took the initiative to give his body to He Wenduo when he was eighteen years old.

He Wenduo worked as a translator in the provincial government office, because he had a transnational marriage, he didn't dare to marry Zou Jie again, and Zou Jie kept accommodating him, and the two could only meet a few times a year.

That's it, Zou Jie feels very happy, after all, he is in love with the person he likes.

This night, Zou Jie said movingly, Xiaomei listened sadly, and the two of them secretly wiped their tears in the bed.

Crying and crying, Zou Jie suddenly said to Xiaomei: "I want to give him a child." ”

Xiaomei was worried about her and said, "Aren't you afraid of other people's irresponsible opinions?" ”

"What's so scary, I'm in charge of my own business, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, I can say whatever others like, let them go." Zou Jie then asked Xiaomei, "Do you think I'm a bad woman?" ”

"No, not only not, but also a good woman I admire the most," Xiaomei was a little excited, "My sister dares to love and hate, she dares to run away from marriage at such a young age, and she dares to pursue the person she likes, I don't dare to think about it." ”

"I don't dare to think about anything, don't you also prefer your beloved teacher to be inappropriate than marry Gao Laosan?" Zou Jie asked, "Confess to my sister, what's the matter with you and Yakzi?" ”

Zou Jie had nothing to hide from Xiaomei, and Xiaomei completely regarded Zou Jie as a confidant, and poured out all the words in her heart.

Xiaomei told Zou Jie that Yakzi was her neighbor, and the two of them grew up together.

Brother Yakzi has cared for her since she was a child, and she has been growing up, she knows that Brother Yakzi likes her very much, and she feels that Brother Yakzi is a person who can be trusted and can be entrusted for life.

However, she was very afraid of her future, afraid that after marrying Brother Yakzi, she would only be a village woman in this generation, and she was unwilling.

Moreover, the current house of Brother Yakzi's house is not like a house, my sister is mentally ill and has a heavy burden, and my father is born with a stubborn temper and is difficult to get along with.
