The next day, at three o'clock in the morning.

As soon as the sky was bright, Zhao Feng secretly left the house, walked a few miles to the woods, picked up a handful of dry firewood, bundled it, and hid it.

Then he went to the creek, picked a basket of willow sprouts, and went back to carry dry firewood on his back and walked back.

At half past six, smoke rose from every house in the village.

Zhiqing Point was in the southeast corner of the village, Zhao Feng came over from outside the village, and when he saw Zhuang Lan carrying a flat pole and two empty buckets to go out, he hurriedly walked over.

"Don't move, I'll come." Zhao Feng put down the firewood and wild vegetable basket and was about to pick it up.

Zhuang Lan dodged his hand and refused: "No." ”

Zhao Feng insisted, "Heavy work has to be done by men, how can women do this work?" ”

"Your younger brother has to take over at home, how can your daughter do it?"

Zhuang Lan seemed to hear what her parents often said before going to the countryside, and clenched her hands stubbornly, "I can also do the work that men can do, I will pick it myself." ”

"Anyway, I'm here, and I have to do the heavy work of carrying water." Zhao Feng forcefully snatched the flat pole and the bucket, and without waiting for her to speak, he strode away.

Zhao Feng's legs were long, Zhuang Lan chased two steps, but the distance became farther and farther, so he could only stop.

Zhao Feng turned around at this time, pointed to the firewood on the ground and said, "This is for you, you are a female intellectual, don't go to the village alone to pick up firewood, it's not safe." ”

"I ......"

Zhuang Lan was about to refuse, but he had already walked away, and the words were held back.

She looked at the bundle of firewood, still reluctant to accept it.

But Zhao Feng's basket and firewood were a little conspicuous in the middle of the courtyard, and Zhuang Lan planned to carry them outside to save other educated youths from seeing them.

As soon as she squatted down, her hand still touching the firewood, Zhao Feng's voice suddenly sounded again, "Don't move, I'll come back to get the water after picking it up." ”

Zhuang Lan was taken aback, her eyes full of questions: Aren't you leaving?

Zhao Feng scratched his head, this time he really left.

The public well was in the compound of the team committee, and Zhao Feng remembered the words of the second sister, so he specially went around from outside the village to his own well to fetch water.

A round trip, about ten minutes.

Zhao Feng went back and forth three times, and finally two buckets of water were poured out, filling the water tank, and then looked at Zhuang Lan with a blank eye, "Is there anything else to do?" ”

At this time, there were already other movements of educated youth.

Zhuang Lan didn't want people to see it, so she said anxiously and embarrassedly: "No, today is an accident, in fact, it is because I ran out of water with another female intellectuals yesterday, and usually male intellectuals carry water." ”

Yesterday Su Limei was going to boil water for a bath, and she washed it too, so the tank of water was all used up.

Su Limei took it for granted that she was looking for a male intellectual, but Zhuang Lan couldn't be at ease.

Again...... There are now four male intellectuals, she doesn't like the diligence of the old intellectuals, and in the new intellectuals, Fu Hang is an intellectual with a good family background, and she can't open her mouth in front of him, let alone work with him, and she can't always find another male intellectuals to work.

There was also a sound in the female intellectual's room, and Zhuang Lan hurriedly urged: "You go first, you really don't need to do it." ”

Zhao Feng glanced sideways, a little disappointed, but didn't say anything.

His basket and firewood were placed outside the courtyard gate, Zhao Feng didn't look at the firewood, grabbed half of the willow artemisia sprouts from the basket, put them on the ground, and turned around to leave.

Zhuang Lan saw it, bit her lip, and stopped him: "Wait a minute." ”

Zhao Feng turned his head suddenly, and there seemed to be a light flashing in his eyes.

Zhuang Lan choked and told him to go behind the willow tree to talk.

Zhao Feng followed her happily.

When she walked to a place where she would not be seen, Zhuang Lan stopped, tugged at the seam of her pants with her fingers, and after taking a few deep breaths, she spoke: "I misunderstood you before, I'm sorry." ”

Zhao Feng smirked, "It's okay." ”

After Zhuang Lan spoke, it was much easier to say again, "I also heard that your second sister transferred to your eldest sister, no matter what, I am biased if I don't know anything, it's not right, I have to apologize to you." ”

Her attitude towards him was obviously much more relaxed, how could Zhao Feng blame her, and her heart was bubbling with happiness.

"Gollum—"

Zhuang Lan looked at his stomach in surprise, "You ......"

Zhao Feng's face flushed instantly, and he took a big step back, "That, Zhuang Zhiqing, you can call me next time you have anything, I, I ......"

His mind was buzzing, and he rolled up his sleeves uncontrollably, revealing his strong arms, and slapped the hard muscles on his head, "I have the energy, I can do anything." ”

Zhuang Lan's mouth opened slightly, the back of her ears was hot, and her eyes didn't dare to look.

Zhao Feng reacted to what he had done, and he was embarrassed to say hello, and there was a fierce beast chasing after him, grabbing the basket and running away in a hurry.

Zhuang Lan was affected by him, and inexplicably turned around and left the place as if he were a thief.

·

Zhao Ke doesn't have to go to school and work on time, and the whole person's rhythm is several degrees slower than usual.

Breakfast was still hot in the pot—the fish soup left over from the previous day was soaked in tortillas, and the wild vegetable dipping sauce she had dug up.

Zhao Ke was greedy, dealing with eating, and his mind was full of fantasies about the buckle meat made by the eldest sister, the braised pork in the factory canteen, and the cumin mutton in the state-run restaurant......

If there is anything wrong with returning to the village, it is the poor food.

It's not that she dislikes Comrade Yu Xiulan's poor cooking skills, and even more so the things she makes herself, she just complains that her mother is too economical, and she doesn't taste good when she cooks.

Not only did Zhao Feng miss his eldest sister, but Zhao Ke also missed him, and while he missed it, he wondered if he had to go into the mountain to relieve his appetite......

"Zhao Ke! Are you at home? ”

It was Zhao Yunyun's voice.

"Here, come in."

The dishes and chopsticks were thrown into the basin, Zhao Ke showed his head from the kitchen door, and when Zhao Yunyun walked in, he went back to brush the dishes.

"Do you know who I just saw?" Zhao Yunyun looked like she couldn't wait to share.

Zhao Ke asked without raising his head: "Who?" ”

"Zhao Feng!" Zhao Yunyun said excitedly, "Where do you guess I saw it?" ”

Where to guess......

Zhao Ke: "Educated youth? ”

Zhao Yunyun's excitement cooled down in an instant, and she lost the desire to continue.

Zhao Ke can't do anything to his stupid brother at present, he can only provoke without a trace, and then wait and see, if the relationship between the male and female protagonists develops to a certain extent, Zhao Feng still has signs of doing bad things, and then he will be beaten down.

However, "Why did you see Zhao Feng?" ”

Zhao Yunyun flickered, "Hmm...... It is...... That ......"

"Butterfly gone? Have you finished reading the book? ”

Only read four pages.

Zhao Yunyun's mind was spinning fast, thinking about how to perfectly deflect her disappointing question.

"Crunch—"

The sound of the door opening.

And footsteps.

Zhao Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief, and said as she walked out, "Is Zhao Feng back?" ”

"Sister Yun?" The redness on Zhao Feng's face hadn't disappeared yet, so he pretended to be nothing, "Are you coming to my second sister?" ”

Zhao Ke came out of the kitchen, his gaze from his face to his hand.

Zhao Feng nervously raised the basket under her gaze and pulled a stiff smile, "Second sister, I specially went to pick it for you." ”

Zhao Ke and Zhao Yunyun's expressions were almost synchronous, all of them: look at how he is foolish.

Zhao Feng couldn't bear it and fled back to the house in a hurry.

Zhao Yunyun "tsk" twice, and muttered to Zhao Ke, "Brother can't help but sister", in order to counter her embarrassment just now.

Zhao Ke didn't react, wiped the water off his hands, and went back to the house.

Zhao Yunyun grabbed her, "Follow me." ”

Zhao Ke didn't struggle, and followed her strength, "Where are you going?" ”

"Just come with me."

A few minutes later –

Zhao Ke glanced at the words "Zhaocun Production Team Primary School" on the wooden door number next to him, turned around and walked back.

"Don't." Zhao Yunyun grabbed her arm and pulled it in, "Know yourself and know your opponent, win all battles, let's go in and see how the surnamed Hu is taught." ”

"What's good to look at, who is how, the members will tell."

Zhao Yunyun didn't listen to her, but still pulled her in.

Zhao Ke couldn't resist her, and finally entered the gate.

The two of them walked outside the first- and second-grade classrooms and looked through the window.

Hu Hezhi stood on the podium with a book in his hand, and glanced at the students below with a serious expression.

Then, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhao Ke and Zhao Yunyun outside the window, his eyes immediately showed a little pride, and he continued to lecture, his voice was much louder than Fang Cai.

Zhao Yunyun looked at it for a while, and whispered to Zhao Ke: "It's really strict." ”

Zhao Ke stayed away and said, "The members should hope that the teachers will be stricter." "The production team primary school does not have high requirements for teachers, and it is strict enough to control students.

"Not necessarily." Zhao Yunyun was afraid that she would be in a bad mood, so she happened to see the house painted by the students on the small playground, and hurriedly said excitedly, "Let's dance the house for a while, we haven't played for a long time." ”

It's all here, and it's okay to play for a while.

Zhao Ke, who was eighteen years old, picked up a stone and jumped with Zhao Yunyun, who was really eighteen years old.

In the fourth and fifth grade classrooms, during the interval between Mr. Wu's lectures, he saw the two of them dancing happily in the playground, smiled slightly, and threw themselves into the lecture again.

In the first and second grade classrooms, Hu Hezhi was lecturing, deliberately opening the door and speaking loudly.

In the second-grade seating area, a boy writes and plays with erasers.

Suddenly, he grabbed his throat with his left hand and kept slapping his tablemates.

There was a girl at the same table, I was afraid that Hu Hezhi would be so scared that I thought he was talking to her again, so I didn't dare to move and ignored him.

The boy tugged at her arm with more force, and his voice made a "ho-ho" sound.

The little girl finally looked at him cautiously, and then blinked, overwhelmed.

On the stage, Hu Hezhi noticed the small movements of the two people, frowned and scolded: "If you don't go to class well, go out!" ”

The boy grabbed his throat with both hands, coughed vigorously but couldn't cough out, his face flushed, and even slightly blue.

The little girl suddenly cried in fright and shouted, "Teacher! Woowoo...... Teacher ......"

The boy had tears and snot on his face, and looked at the substitute teacher for help.

Hu Hezhi finally realized that his state was abnormal, startled, hurriedly took two steps forward, and paused in the aisle.

He was afraid that something would happen, and he didn't handle it well, so he had to take responsibility.

On the playground, Zhao Ke jumped into a grid, heard the cry very strangely, stopped, stood on one foot, and looked sideways.

Zhao Yunyun also heard it and looked at Zhao Ke.

After the two looked at each other, Zhao Ke took the lead in walking over, and Zhao Yunyun also followed.

There was chaos in the classroom. Several children were scared and cried.

Zhao Ke's gaze swept across the classroom, and quickly followed the children's line of sight to accurately locate the child with a blue face.

"Oh my God! Stuck? Zhao Yunyun exclaimed.

The boy looked at the door with teary eyes, unable to make a sound.

Zhao Ke strode over and pushed away Hu Hezhi, who was in the way.

Hu Hezhi's crotch bounced against the corner of the table, and after exhaling in pain, he shouted: "Zhao Ke! ”

Zhao Yunyun followed behind Zhao Ke, shouting "Get out of the way" and pushed Hu Hezhi, who was in the way.

Hu Hezhi slammed into the corner of the table again, stiff in pain.

Zhao Ke ignored his shouting, walked to the table of the two children, reached out and pulled out the boy with the stuck throat, hugged it to his chest, put his fist above his navel, and squeezed it hard.

Outside the door, Principal Gu and Teacher Wu also rushed over and asked urgently, "What's wrong?!" ”

"Ahem!"

A small piece of rubber flew out of the boy's mouth, followed by a somewhat hoarse cry.

Zhao Yunyun shouted in surprise: "Come out, come out!" ”

Principal Gu and Teacher Wu were also relieved when they heard this.

Only Hu Hezhi, holding his crotch and stomach, couldn't laugh.
