Xiao Zhengping did not spend the night at Lin Baoshou's house, the four of them had dinner and drank the wine brewed by Lin Baoshou himself, and Lin Baoshou also gave a bottle of wine after that.

Lin Baoshou's house is not too far from Tongshan Forest Farm, and it can be reached in two hours at most, and that is still in the case of frequent pick-up and drop-off on the shuttle.

So Xiao Zhengping temporarily decided to come here, and simply take a few old people to the deer farm to have a look.

When he arrived at the deer farm, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, the deer farm dormitory was not enough, and Xiao Zhengping could not take everyone to Chen Youfu's house, so he chose a compromise plan - leaving two people in the dormitory, and the remaining two went to Uncle Youfu's house to live.

Xiao Zhengping parked the car outside the gate and led the second uncle and father-in-law down.

On the way to the duty room, he noticed that the lights were on in the lounge, and there was laughter coming from inside.

Xiao Zhengping thought that it was Li Yuanchao again, but when he walked over and looked, Li Yuanchao was not among them, but a few people who secretly drank were employees of the deer farm.

Because of the presence of elders, Xiao Zhengping didn't want to waste too much time, and he didn't want to quarrel.

Several employees were also interested, and immediately got up to clean up after seeing Xiao Zhengping, saying that they would leave immediately, and the same thing would never happen again in the future.

Xiao Zhengping was silent, and continued to walk towards the duty room with the two elders.

After settling the two, when Xiao Zhengping came back, he found that the lights in the lounge had been turned off, he came to the gate and asked the gatekeeper if he had seen anyone go out, and the doorkeeper nodded and said that he had seen it.

Xiao Zhengping sulked for a while with an iron face, so he asked the janitor to ask for the names of a few people.

Back in the car, Uncle Xiao Kunguo asked what was going on, and Xiao Zhengping told Uncle about the things before and after.

When Xiao Kunguo heard this, he immediately said angrily: "No wonder a good deer farm is done like this, eating and drinking on the production line is just nonsense!" ”

"These people, they still think that they are holding the iron rice bowl, and it is also the iron rice bowl that hurts them, look at it, when the iron rice bowl falls one day, there will be a time when they cry."

With that, Xiao Zhengping started the engine and drove towards Chen Youfu's house.

After staying in the deer farm for a day, Xiao Zhengping took the three old men around the forest farm again, and played for three days before Xiao Zhengping brought the three people back.

Judging from the expressions of the three old men, this trip was worth it, not only met Lin Baoshou, but also got a bottle of good wine, and finally saw Pingzi's "big career", Xiao Zhengping thought that this time it was enough for the three old men to blow for a while.

Back in Zhangshuya, Xiao Zhengping first sent his father-in-law home, and then sent his uncle and second uncle back to the back mountain.

When he returned home from the back mountain again, Xiao Zhengping found that his father-in-law had changed his happy face and became sad. Not only that, but her daughter-in-law Dai Xuemei is also cloudy.

Xiao Zhengping didn't understand, it took less than an hour to go back and forth from home to the back mountain, and he came back without resting in the middle.

"Dad, what's wrong? What's wrong with Xuemei? Xiao Zhengping sat down and asked.

Dai sighed dumbly, and Dai Xuemei handed Xiao Zhengping a few pages.

Xiao Zhengping was puzzled and immediately spread out the paper.

The paper is stationery, with the words "HN Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences" printed on the letterhead, and a telegram sandwiched under the letterhead.

Xiao Zhengping first glanced at the telegram, which was sent by Dai Xuemei's aunt Dai Shufen, and the telegram was written very succinctly: 200 yuan for quick remittance, urgent.

My aunt asked for money, not once or twice, Xiao Zhengping alone knew three times, but this aunt didn't ask for much every time, either one hundred or two hundred, never more than two hundred.

Xiao Zhengping could get the money, so he didn't say anything, besides, this aunt had helped Xuemei's family before, she was in a hurry, and she should help.

But when he got married, Xiao Zhengping still remembers his aunt's power vividly, he is a little worried that his aunt will treat his father-in-law as a wronged man, relying on the fact that he has helped his father-in-law before, and now he is endlessly asking for money from his father-in-law.

Looking at the bitter gourd face of the old man, Xiao Zhengping estimated that he didn't have so much money on hand, but he was embarrassed to open his mouth to himself.

"Let's go back to the township, buy some vegetables and come back, and remit the money by the way." Xiao Zhengping returned the telegram to Dai Xuemei casually and said.

Dai Xuemei was a little embarrassed, and she didn't answer after "um".

After reading the telegram, Xiao Zhengping turned his attention to the letter paper in his hand again.

You can guess just from looking up that this letter was sent by Xu Xiaohui, and the letter has now been opened, which means that the daughter-in-law has read it in advance.

Xiao Zhengping didn't see the envelope, but he estimated that the letter was addressed to himself.

Of course, he didn't blame his daughter-in-law for opening his letter, after all, people in this kind of place in this era do not have the concept of "privacy", but despite this, Dai Xuemei's move still made Xiao Zhengping a little uncomfortable.

The letter was a bit long, written on three pages, with beautiful handwriting and novel and appropriate diction, which was different from Yang Guangsheng's concise and powerful official language, and this letter had a strong academy atmosphere.

Xiao Zhengping spent more than ten minutes reading the letter, and summarized that Xu Xiaohui had successfully obtained a master's degree, and Zhou Zheng did set up some obstacles when he graduated, but Xu Xiaohui's relationship with moving out of his own house was settled.

After graduation, Xu Xiaohui will go to the west to work and further her studies, and she will write to Xiao Zhengping when she arrives, asking Xiao Zhengping to keep in touch with her, and she can communicate with her if she has any questions.

In addition, she is applying for a patent for the bamboo fungus, which has the names of Xiao Zhengwen and Jia Hongyue, and once the patent is applied, it will be granted to Xiao Zhengping immediately.

At the end of the letter, Xu Xiaohui said that they had cooperated with each other very happily in the past three years, saying that Xiao Zhengping was a person with ideals and drive, and let Xiao Zhengping continue to maintain it. She also thanked Xiao Zhengping for his support and encouragement, saying that she had learned a lot from Xiao Zhengping.

At the end of the letter, Xu Xiaohui attached the poem: I often soar in the blue sky with the geese, writhe in the sea with the dragon, and the contemplative mountains often invite me to dream in its vast silence.

After reading the letter, Xiao Zhengping's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, he thought that he could still meet Xu Xiaohui, maybe under his kind invitation, Xu Xiaohui would really come to work with him.

However, the ending was so sloppy and hurried, he even complained a little, complaining that Xu Xiaohui just said goodbye without saying goodbye.

After reading the letter, Xiao Zhengping closed the letter, and at this moment, a slightly rough and cool hand reached over and put it on his hand.

Xiao Zhengping looked up and saw that his daughter-in-law Dai Xuemei had grievances and concern in her eyes, and seemed to be looking at herself with tears.

"Brother Pingzi, are you okay?" Dai Xuemei asked.

Xiao Zhengping immediately returned to reality from his thoughts, he held Dai Xuemei's hand tightly in the palm of his hand with his backhand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, she doesn't belong here, she can graduate smoothly, and I don't owe her anything." ”
