A little afterglow shone on the mountain village, and the earthen houses stood silently.

The wind of early spring is not cold, but it is cold.

Ji Yuanhai rode his bicycle through the village entrance of Xiaoshantun and stopped at the team headquarters of Xiaoshantun.

Today's registration of the production team has ended, and Lu Heling has packed her things and is ready to go home.

The Seventh Master Ji Baotian, Captain Ge, and the warehouse keeper were all talking with cigarettes in their mouths at the door, swallowing clouds and spitting fog by the way.

Seeing Ji Yuanhai coming, Ji Baotian and Captain Ge greeted him with a smile.

"Heling, Yuan Hai is here to call you home!"

Ji Baotian shouted.

Lu Heling walked out with her high school textbooks in her arms, her cheeks slightly red, and nodded and greeted Ji Baotian and Captain Ge: "Seventh Master, Captain Ge, I'll go home first?" ”

"Let's go back."

"Let's go back quickly!"

Ji Baotian and Captain Ge both said with a smile.

Ji Yuanhai pushed the bicycle, Lu Heling walked a few steps side by side with him, and the Seventh Master seemed to suddenly remember something: "Yuanhai, you still have a working guy in my house, when will you take it back to your own house?" ”

Ji Yuanhai looked back and smiled: "I'll go in a while!" ”

The Seventh Master nodded and didn't say much.

Ji Yuanhai had some guesses in his heart, what did the Seventh Master want to say to him.

Back at his home in the south of the village, Lu Heling asked Ji Yuanhai about the situation in the city today.

Ji Yuanhai talked about the matter a little bit.

Hearing that the window was smashed again, Lu Heling was also worried and angry.

Later, I heard that Ji Yuanhai took the initiative to call the door, but forced the bully in the vegetable market to stop selling flowers and plants, the whole process was very intense and thrilling, and even started fighting.

Lu Heling clenched her hands nervously, and finally hurriedly looked at Ji Yuanhai's arm, and then checked his cheeks and neck to see if there were any traces of injury.

"Why are you fighting again? Are you hurt? ”

"Nope." Ji Yuanhai replied.

"If you are alone in their crowd, and the person who beat them can still not be beaten?" Lu Heling whispered, "You can't do this next time, if you report the case directly, won't it be okay?" ”

"If you report the case, eighty percent of it will be over." Ji Yuanhai said, "I know that some of them are being watched, and they don't dare to act rashly, and they are even being cleaned up, so I can take the initiative." ”

"But if I go to report the crime and ask the family to deal with something without evidence, just say that I guessed it myself, who can do it for me?"

"Not to mention, it takes half a day to quickly cut things into chaos."

"I'd rather not be neat than let you take risks." Lu Heling said, "Our family now has five or six hundred yuan in savings, as long as we don't spend money indiscriminately, it's almost the same after college, don't take risks in the future." ”

"Money is slowly starting to be used inappropriately, and what will it be used for in the future." Ji Yuanhai said a word, and when he saw Lu Heling's serious face, he couldn't help but smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you, my housekeeper!" ”

"Don't care about the amount of money and the amount of money, Yuan Hai, you can't take such risks in the future."

Lu Heling looked him in the eye and said, "Think about it, how dangerous that situation is!" ”

"If their group of people lose their minds and rush to you, if they carry weapons in their hands again, how many people can you withstand?"

Ji Yuanhai looked at her with undisguised concern in her eyes, like a lone star on a cold night, and his heart was also moved, reaching out to slowly support her cheek, feeling the touch of a smooth bead.

"Heling, don't worry, I'll be fine."

"What if, if something happens, what can I do?" Lu Heling asked seriously again.

Ji Yuanhai emphasized to her again: "Heling, I'll be fine, just rest assured." ”

As he spoke, he saw her beautiful face frowning slightly, as distressing as Xizi's heart, so he couldn't help but kiss her slowly.

Lu Heling stretched out her hand to block his mouth: "Xiaohong is next door, if she sees it, how embarrassed will she be?" ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled and kissed her on the forehead.

Next, Lu Heling and Ji Yuanhai began to be busy making dinner, talking while making dinner.

"I'm not unhappy with these changes in the county shop," Lu Heling said, "No one else interferes in the money, and no one makes trouble, selling flowers and plants will be more profitable in the future, and with the support of Wang Lao, it will definitely be better in the future." ”

"But when I think that you risked all of this, fought with those people with your bare hands, Yuan Hai, I feel uncomfortable in my heart."

"Yuan Hai, you've worked too hard."

Ji Yuanhai comforted her twice: "Don't worry, it'll be fine in the future; Everything in the county shop has been decided, so let's just collect the money with peace of mind. ”

"Well, it's good to have that." Lu Heling said, "If there is such a danger again, you can't take any more risks. ”

Ji Yuanhai squatted in front of the stove door, slowly burning firewood, and asked, "Heling, how are you studying today?" ”

Inside the stove door, the tongue of fire shook slightly, licking the bottom of the pot.

Lu Heling stood in front of the stove.

"Okay...... Language, history, geography, and politics, according to the key points we have drawn, can basically be memorized and dictated, and almost all of them can be understood. Lu Heling said, "If you follow the level of last year's college entrance examination, you can at least go to a provincial university." ”

"It's math, I don't feel like I'm sure - just read the descriptions and example questions in the book, can I really do the questions and get a high score?"

"That's definitely not going to work...... Ji Yuanhai said, "The two of us have to be sure to do well in the exam, and we have to make up for the math study questions and learn the transformation of various question types." ”

"In the next time, we will keep a state of revision in other aspects of our liberal arts, mainly to make up for mathematics."

Lu Heling nodded, and said suspiciously: "Does the county Xinhua bookstore sell this kind of book?" ”

"No, I'm going to go to the county high school to borrow their test papers and exercises." Ji Yuanhai said.

"Huh? Can you borrow it? Lu Heling asked.

Ji Yuanhai told Lu Heling that the county high school had set up a college entrance examination assault class and worked hard to study hard for the college entrance examination, and Wang Lao's grandson Queen Zhuyun was admitted to college after graduating from the county high school, and she is now an acquaintance with Ji Yuanhai.

The teacher of the county high school introduced by her was just some of the test papers that had been taught and handed over to Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling to transcribe, and then paid some compensation, and the teacher was definitely willing.

The current teacher's salary is really not high, and Ji Yuanhai is not doing anything else, just taking study materials.

After Lu Heling heard this, she did not feel easy to solve the problem, but her mood became heavy.

"Yuan Hai, even the county high school has begun to set up a college entrance examination assault class like this, and the difficulty of the college entrance examination this time is really big."

"Can the two of us pass the exam?"

Ji Yuanhai looked at her and smiled, "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to get in." ”

Looking at Ji Yuanhai's face flushed by the afterglow of the stove fire, Lu Heling nodded and made up her mind to work hard.

"Well, Yuan Hai, we will definitely be admitted!"

As the two talked, the meal was ready, and Wang Xiaohong was called out to eat.

"Uncle Yuanhai, Aunt Heling, my mother won't come back today?"

"Well, your mother won't be back today." Ji Yuanhai motioned for her to sit down and eat, and said, "Your mother is very busy...... Xiaohong, what were you busy in the house just now? ”

"I folded all the flowers and paper of the candy cubes, pressed them under the futon, and looked at them as drawing paper." Wang Xiaohong said, "Some of the drawing paper looks the same, and some places are different. The tail of the white rabbit, I look at the long tail of some and the short tail of some of them. ”

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling both laughed, children's childhood is always so interesting, and they are more observant and meticulous than adults in some particularly small things; Even if there is no harvest, it is still relished and enjoyed.

"The White Rabbit toffee I bought for you last time, have you finished eating? I'll buy it for you next time I'm in town. Ji Yuanhai said.

"After eating, I gave Zhu Xiaosong and Ge Dalian one today." Wang Xiaohong said, "Neither of them scolds me, nor does they scold my mother, I play with them." ”

Ji Yuanhai nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked Wang Xiaohong: "Zhu Xiaosong is the child of the Zhu family of the third team?" Ge Dalian is a team of children of the Ge family? ”

"Hmm." Wang Xiaohong replied, "The four teams of the Wang family, I don't play with them, they all scold me and my mother." ”

Ji Yuan Haixin said: Why did the children of the first team and the third team suddenly play with Wang Xiaohong?

It turns out that there should be no parents who let their children play with Wang Xiaohong, right? They all disliked Liu Xianglan's bad luck and gossiped about Liu Xianglan.

Wang Xiaohong, a little girl, is also quite clever, not like the kind of child who takes the White Rabbit toffee and tempts others to play together.

Wang Laosan, this guy has gotten along well with the third team recently, and may have discussed the new accountant candidate after driving Lu Heling's temporary accountant down.

Ji Yuanhai was originally dismissive of these things, and he and Lu Heling were about to leave the college entrance examination, what tricks could they come up with?

Now, Wang Xiaohong, who has always been lonely, suddenly has an extra playmate, which makes Ji Yuanhai's heart vigilant.

Is this Wang Lao Sanwang accountant so insidious?

"Xiaohong," Ji Yuanhai asked with a smile, "Did Zhu Xiaosong and Ge Dalian ask you, where did your mother go?" What are you busy with? Did I ask you why you are living at Uncle Yuanhai's house now? ”

Wang Xiaohong thought for a while and said, "It seems to have asked." ”

"What did you say?" Ji Yuanhai's eyes narrowed slightly.

Is it really Wang Laosan?

I have to say that it is very insidious and very accurate, Wang Xiaohong, a child who has no playmate, has a playmate at first glance, and under normal circumstances, he will tell his "friend" everything.

"My mother won't let me say it! What she was doing in the county, and what I was doing at Uncle Yuanhai's house, she didn't let me tell outsiders. Wang Xiaohong said, "I didn't tell them anything, give them toffee, and they are very happy, and they don't ask these questions anymore." ”

"Zhu Xiaosong eats toffee, but he bites his tongue!"

Ji Yuanhai nodded and touched her head: "Good boy, you are so obedient!" ”

"Pay attention in the future, Uncle Yuanhai is also the same request as his mother, don't say anything others ask, whether it is an adult or a child."

"Also, Zhu Xiaosong and Ge Dalian are not looking for you to make friends, they want to inquire about your mother's affairs and tell the Wang family, don't play with them in the future."

Ji Yuanhai said.

When Wang Xiaohong heard Ji Yuanhai's words, her face turned red with anger: "They still eat my toffee!" They're all badass! ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, just feed the puppy, okay?" ”

"Why are they so bad!" Wang Xiaohong huffed, "I'm going to punish them tomorrow!" ”

"How are you going to punish them?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

"I'm going to pick up sheep eggs, wrap them in white rabbit flower paper, and give them to eat!" Wang Xiaohong said, "I'll let them eat sheep eggs!" ”

Ji Yuanhai couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "You're quite smart!" ”

"But, Xiaohong, you wait two days first."

"Wait two days, after I told you, you can feed them sheep eggs."

Wang Xiaohong nodded, indicating that she knew.

Lu Heling on the side thought about it with the bowl and looked at Ji Yuanhai: "Wang Laosan said that he moved the three squads, and we all know about this; It's also quite insidious to let children inquire about our family. ”

"But, what's the matter with a small team of Ge Dalian, a little kid?"

"Captain Ge, the custodian Ge Shengjin and the Seventh Master, and I are all very polite, they can't follow Wang Laosan, right? You also sent a few fish to Captain Ge, and you usually get along very well. ”

After Lu Heling finished speaking, her brows were still slightly furrowed.

Ji Yuanhai confirmed with Wang Xiaohong again, and Ge Dalian did ask Wang Xiaohong questions.

Ji Yuanhai said: "Either it's a coincidence, or a small team of families and Captain Ge are not of the same mind. ”

"Or...... The temple demon is windy, and before we leave the college entrance examination, we have to clean up again, I hope it won't be so troublesome. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Yuanhai thought of the Seventh Master's excuse to let him take things, and he was going to his house today to talk about things.

I'm afraid, there's really something.

………………………………

After dinner, Kinokai walked through the grove to the puddle.

A fish was fished out of the cold water, and he walked to the house of the seventh master in the night.

As soon as he knocked on the door, the door was not inserted into the latch, and Ji Yuanhai pushed the door in.

Someone was talking in the room.

The seventh lady was sitting in the courtyard washing the dishes, and when she saw Ji Yuanhai coming, she shouted to the house: "Yuanhai is here!" ”

Then he got up and plugged in the latch and took the fish from Ji Yuanhai's hand.

This door was actually reserved for Ji Yuanhai alone.

Ji Yuanhai entered the house and saw three people talking.

It's the seventh grandfather, Ji Baotian, grandfather, and father.

The three of them all looked at Ji Yuanhai together.

"Yuan Hai, come, sit down and talk."

"I have something to talk to you about with your grandfather and your father." The Seventh Master said.

Ji Yuanhai nodded and found a stool to sit down.

"Yuan Hai, your daughter-in-law was originally an educated youth, she doesn't like to talk too much, and she can't get along with the daughters-in-law in the village."

In the past six months, in addition to being a temporary accountant, she is studying to prepare for the university entrance examination, so she doesn't know what is going on in the village; She doesn't know that you don't know, you two are a little too big. ”

The seventh master said: "You don't know that there are some people in the village who don't speak well. ”

With the words of the Seventh Master, Ji Yuanhai saw that the faces of his grandfather and father became more serious.

Obviously, some rumors in the village, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling didn't hear and didn't care, but it was a big face problem for them.

may have been deeply worried about Ji Yuanhai.

Ji Yuanhai said calmly: "Seventh Master, what the villagers of Xiaoshantun say, is it really necessary to care so much? ”

The Seventh Master shook his head: "You still don't understand the situation here, our local reputation is called prestige, a good reputation is high prestige, and a bad reputation is no prestige." ”

"Your family's reputation is about to go bad...... When you don't have prestige, don't say that you make people laugh behind your backs, and He Ling, the temporary accountant, can't do it. ”

"When the time comes, the two of you will have to work in the field to earn work, and the whole Xiaoshantun will treat you as a joke."

Do you still work in the field to earn points?

Ji Yuanhai read the newspaper in the county seat, cared about some issues, and knew that now the country had begun to pilot the production package to households in more than 1,000 villages, and the next step was to implement it and promote it again.

By this winter at the latest, Qingshan County should also start to package production to households.

But Xiaoshantun is still unaware.

Moreover, Ji Yuanhai is going to take the college entrance examination in July this year, and it is really impossible to wait any longer, and it is useless to delay time in terms of earning points through labor.

In the future, he will not waste time on other things except for the occasional trip to the county seat.

The things that Wang Laosan and the three squads were planning, Ji Yuanhai must completely solve them, so that they can't make trouble at the last moment.

However, the words have to be said one by one.

Ji Yuanhai looked at the Seventh Master, Grandpa, and Father and said, "Seventh Master, Grandpa, Dad, I probably understand what you mean. ”

"Since I'm here today, let's just talk about it."

"What gossip is there in the village, what do you think I should do, I will also talk about my thoughts, my situation, and I think about what I should do."

The Seventh Master looked at Ji Yuanhai's grandfather and father.

Ji Yuanhai's father said: "Yuanhai, the first thing about you, you haven't been working for half a year, and you are riding a foreign car every other day, what are you doing?" ”

Ji Yuanhai replied: "I don't work because I have to take the college entrance examination, and I am studying at home. ”

"I go out every now and then to make some money in the county."

The Epoch Sea wants to take the college entrance examination! Also go to the city to make money!

What is this for?

Ji Yuanhai's grandfather and father suddenly looked a little anxious.

The seventh master hurriedly said on the side: "I also know about Yuan Hai's preparation for the college entrance examination, and I don't know about him going to the county to make money, but I guessed it." According to the rules of the production team, it is not okay for him to go out to make money without permission, but we are a family, so I will turn a blind eye. ”

After hearing this, Grandpa couldn't bear the anxiety and sighed: "Yuan Hai, you kid looks very smart, why do you do such bells and whistles?" ”

"What can compare to being in the rural collective production brigade and earning work in a down-to-earth manner? If it weren't for your seven masters to help you take care of it, and change to a team secretary, you would have to be broadcast by loudspeakers when you go to the city to make money, and you will be embarrassed! ”

"Also, you have a primary school education, can you go to university? You want to be admitted to university with He Ling and become a city person together, but what is the cultural level of the people, and what is the cultural level of you? You can't even read the words in the newspaper! ”

The father also said: "You can't get into college, you have a child with Heling, and the two of you work hard in a down-to-earth manner, and there are not so many troubles; Outsiders just want to say bad things about you, and they can't say anything. ”

Ji Yuanhai faced the advice of his grandfather and father, or the accusation: "Grandpa, Dad, and the Seven Masters, you may not know yet." ”

"The production brigade will be gone in another year."

"Working in the countryside is not the way out to live a good life at all."
