There is a lot of knowledge about pig farming.

Zhao Ke actually had two boxes of cigarettes in his bag.

She originally wanted to let the big guy learn to deliver sows and postpartum care for sows, but unfortunately, the sows with cubs on the pig farm have not reached the day of production, and they still have work in the village, so they can't wait here, so these two boxes of cigarettes are temporarily saved.

On the way back to the county, the girls were nervous about coming, and talked happily about the skills of the horses.

On the contrary, the boys were unusually quiet.

The girls didn't notice it.

In the evening, the others stayed in the guest house, and Zhao Ke took his bodyguard Zhao Feng to find Ding Xiaohui.

Ding Zhengyang bought some gifts for Duan Shuyi, Ding Xiaohui took them, and asked Zhao Ke to bring them to Duan Shuyi.

Then she took two more silk scarves, "I wanted to give you something last time, just before I went to the provincial capital to visit relatives, and I took a fancy to three silk scarves in the department store, one for each of the three of us." "

Ding Xiaohui refers to her, Duan Shuyi and Zhao Ke. This silk scarf is not cheap at first glance, and Zhao Ke is a little hesitant.

"I actually thank you sincerely, not only because you told me the truth and let me see Liang Hui clearly, but also because I met friends like you and Shu Yi, you are really good." Ding Xiaohui held her hand, "And my brother said that he also has to give Xie Matchmaker a gift, otherwise he won't pay attention to Shu Yi." ”

Saying this, Zhao Ke couldn't refuse, "Then I'll accept it, thank you." ”

Ding Xiaohui waited for a few seconds, and when she saw that Zhao Ke didn't have anything else, she sneered.

Zhao Ke was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"My brother, I still want you to help him say a few kind words in front of Shu Yi, he wants to marry Shu Yi as soon as possible."

"So there is still any intention of buying?" Zhao Ke couldn't cry or laugh, "I can accept the thank you matchmaker, but I won't agree to buy it, they have only known each other for a long time, and they haven't understood each other more deeply, and it's not a good thing to be enthusiastic and blindly married." "

Ding Xiaohui thought for a moment and nodded, "What you said makes sense." "

Zhao Ke said: "Shu Yi has a little temper and a bit of arrogance, but she is very kind, very generous and enthusiastic to her friends, I believe that as long as people who have seriously contacted her, they will really like her, and your brother can be patient." "

"My brother is very patient and very tolerant of Shu Yi." Ding Xiaohui showed some envy, "Sometimes when I see my brother being so gentle to Shu Yi, I can't help but wonder, when will I meet someone who is so good to me, will I not be able to meet ......"

She looked unexpectedly

A bit of self-doubt.

A relationship with Liang Hui still hit her, right?

Zhao Ke was an occupational sick prisoner doing ideological work, shook Ding Xiaohui's sister's little hand, and said, "Actually, your troubles are very similar to the situation of our brigade. ”

Ding Xiaohui was puzzled.

"Our country is still poor, but we are still vigorously and actively promoting literacy, especially in rural areas. When we can only see one step in front of us, some people have already seen fifty or hundreds of steps in the future, and there is no way out for them to be complacent. "

Ding Xiaohui was at a loss, why did she suddenly turn here?

"Eradicating illiteracy can enable closed rural people to learn knowledge, broaden their horizons, and broaden their thinking...... I have always hoped that the people in our village will be able to go out and see the outside world, and whether they will come back in the future or not, they will bring new perspectives to the people who remain in the village. "

Zhao Ke said earnestly: "Sister Xiaohui, your mind is only trapped in this small piece of world, the field of vision is narrow, and the people in the past are just a grain of sand left on your heart, do you choose to be ground by it or polish it into a pearl?"

Zhao Feng, who was immersed in hard work and had a very low sense of existence, couldn't help but raise her head, and her sister was about to start urging people to make progress again.

Sure enough, Zhao Ke's next sentence was: "We must read more, and you will find that one day when the sand can no longer be affected, you yourself will become a pearl, and you can deserve it."

on better people, you can also appreciate yourself with confidence. "

Zhao Feng: "...... "Let's see."

It's just that many people eat her in this era.

Ding Xiaohui was very moved, "Zhao Ke, you are right, I must enrich myself, so that my future will not become narrower and narrower." Zhao Ke patted her hand, "Do you need a pen pal?" I'd love to. ”

Ding Xiaohui nodded like pounding garlic.

Zhao Feng couldn't listen to it, so he got up and went to check out.

Ding Xiaohui saw his movements, and hurriedly got up, "I have to end this meal ......"

Zhao Ke took her hand and didn't let her move, "Etiquette is still exchanged, I accepted your beautiful silk scarf, don't fight with me." "

Her attitude of being close and not taking advantage of her does make people more comfortable, Ding Xiaohui already has a good impression of her, and after these words, she almost introduced Zhao Ke as a confidant. After the meal, Zhao Ke and Zhao Feng sent Ding Xiaohui home together before leaving the guest house.

Zhao Ke thought of Ding Xiaohui's excited appearance when he was leaving, and couldn't help but sigh: "I feel that my own merits are immeasurable. Zhao Feng twitched the corners of his mouth,

"Sister, there are some things that others can say, but you say it yourself, it looks a little cheeky." Zhao Ke gave him a "you don't understand sister" look, and strode forward angrily.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ke and his entourage returned to Shuangshan Commune by minibus. Uncle Ban'er waited at the intersection of the commune with an ox cart early, and also pulled two bicycles from Zhao Ke's family.

Two bicycles, one for Zhao Ke and Zhao Feng's sisters and brothers, went to deliver things to Duan Shuyi first. Zhu Jianyi, as Zhao Feng's close partner, preemptively "occupied" another car, and Zhao Xiaoai, the daughter of the seventh uncle Zhao Jianchang's family, was carried behind him.

An ox cart will definitely not be able to pull everyone, Uncle Ban'er found three ox carts and carriages from other brigades in the commune in advance, and let the young men in the village take the cars of other brigades, and he pulled the girls from the village away.

The bicycle arrived in the village first, Zhao Ke and Zhao Xiaoai got off at the intersection, and Zhao Feng and Zhu Jianyi returned to pick up people. Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, there are the older women in the village again.

Second grandmother Zhao, fifth grandmother Zhao, Mrs. Wei...... A few old ladies in their fifties and sixties sat together and said that the east and the west were short. Zhao Ermao's eyes were sharp, and as soon as Zhao Ke and the others appeared, they reminded loudly: "Someone is back!"

Zhao Wumu immediately got up and walked to the middle of the road. Zhao Xiaoai shouted from afar: "Milk~" Zhao Wuni waved in response to her. Zhao Xiaoai pulled Zhao Ke to run a few steps quickly to the old locust tree.

"You're back Nil, are you tired?" Zhao Wumu held her hand and asked her, "Are your brothers still behind?" She asked about her two grandsons, one is Zhao Xiaoai's brother Zhao Lin, and the other is her cousin Zhao Yang. Zhao Xiaoai replied coolly: "They take the ox cart of other brigades, and Uncle Ban'er has to send someone back to pick them up." ”

"It's going to take a long time......"

Other old ladies surrounded Zhao Ke and asked about the young people in the village participating in the recruitment.

Zhao Ke didn't say much, but said: "In a week, the list of recruits will be distributed to the commune, and we will know when the time comes." ”

Zhao Ke is more concerned about what the well in the village is digging.

Zhao Xiaoai was talking to the old ladies here, and she withdrew

I went to the field and took a look.

The well has been dug out, in order to store more water, it is convenient to carry water, dig deeper, each wellhead has a width of one and a half meters, and the well side is built with stones about half a meter high. There is no shelter and no safety tips.

Zhao Ke went back to the village and went to the third uncle's house first, and asked him to help make a few solid manhole covers.

There are boards of various sizes neatly arranged in one corner of the courtyard, and there is a pile of discarded ones next to it, Zhao Ke asked while walking over to pick them: "Third uncle, what are these boards for?" Third Uncle Yu said: "I cut the board according to Fu Zhiqing's drawings, he."

Said that you still have to customize a few sizes to adapt to the parts of the waterwheel, and yesterday I went to the bearing factory to find your sister. "Zhao Ke said that he tried not to spend money, and if he really needed it, he was not so harsh," I turned around and asked Fu Zhiqing. ”

She picked up a few useless boards and wrote them in mahogany lacquer—

[It is forbidden for children to approach the well and beat them once!!! [Don't go down to the river, find and die!] 】

When Uncle Yu saw it, he laughed: "How can you write a slogan like this?"

Zhao Ke said: The children in the village are more Tao, so that they are not afraid, and they can't do any trouble.

When she was a child, she would manage her friends not to go to the water's edge and not do dangerous things, but now the children don't care, they are not afraid of the sky and the earth, if something happens, how can their relatives live.

Zhao Ke thought about it, found two more boards, and wrote: [Whoever plays with fire, who is looking for a beating]

The two cousins, Yu Ling and Yu Feng, hugged the plank and went out with her to nail the slogan.

The Yu family is the most suitable age for Yu Ling, but he inherited the craftsmanship of the third uncle Yu, and the third aunt was reluctant to let him join the army, so he didn't go to the county.

He didn't have any attachment to being a soldier or not, but curiously asked Zhao Feng if he could be selected.

Zhao Feng has a good chance, it can be said that he is the most likely to be selected by Zhao Cun'er. After all, whether it is academic qualifications or physique, he stands out among those who participate in the recruitment.

A week later, the village was anxious to know the news, and several families came to Zhao Ke's house to urge Zhao Feng to ride to the commune to inquire about the news.

Zhao Feng went for the first time and returned empty-handed.

The next day I went to the commune again.

The day before yesterday, Zhao Feng came back and brought back the parts, there were many tools in the brigade's warehouse, and in the past two days, Fu Hang and Lin Haiyang tried to assemble a waterwheel in the courtyard of the brigade.

Fu Hang is very focused and organized, he doesn't even need to look at the drawings, as long as he reports the size and number of the plank, Lin Haiyang, who gave him a hand, will find it out, and the two of them will install it together. Zhao Ke, Zhao Xinshan, and some people in the village were all watching the excitement in the compound, but they basically couldn't understand it, and they could only see a big guy taking shape little by little. But even if they don't understand, Fu Hang and Lin Haiyang's images are becoming more and more different in the eyes of everyone in the village.

Especially Niu Xiaoqiang's group of children, they said that they were as fun as building blocks, and their admiration for Fu Hang and Lin Haiyang in their eyes had also reached its peak. Zhao Yunyun ran to the compound every day, and said to Zhao Ke: "If I see Fu Zhiqing working in the field again, I will break off my love." ”

Zhao Ke: ......

Zhao Yunyun is also a nymphomaniac, "Serious Fu Zhiqing, it's really charming." ”

Zhao Ke looked over

, Serious and focused people are indeed shining, especially Fu Zhiqing still has skills that the big guy doesn't understand at all, and the light has a little bit of knowledge filter.

But......

Zhao Ke still couldn't hold back, and asked: "You like him so much, Fu Zhiqing had a birthday before, you forgot if you asked, you didn't even give a birthday gift, this time is also a great opportunity to perform, why don't you go over to help?"

Zhao Yunyun muttered: "Didn't I send the map, besides, did I help in the past?" Doesn't it expose shortcomings?"

Zhao Ke shook his head, Zhao Yunyun really didn't like Fu Zhiqing much, but there was no standard for liking, and she didn't have much to say, so she could only see it clearly by herself in the future. Anyway, with Zhao Ke watching, he won't go astray.

"I don't know if the list has been sent?" Zhao Yunyun also asked half-heartedly, "What time does Zhao Feng leave, is it time to come back at this time?" Zhao Ke couldn't help but chant again: "It's really inconvenient to have no phone." ”

Half an hour later, Zhao Feng rode back to the village and went straight to the brigade headquarters.

Brother-in-law! Sister! The list is down!

Everyone didn't care about the waterwheel, even Fu Hang and Lin Haiyang looked up at him.

Zhao Xinshan hurriedly walked out of the office and asked, "Who was chosen?" Zhao Feng gasped, took out a piece of paper from his satchel, and handed it over. Zhao Xinshan unfolded the paper and looked at it, laughing: "Choose four!" Good, good!" Others asked who it was.

Zhao Xinshan said: "Zhao Feng, Zhu Zhu'er, Zhu Jianqiang, and the second Nier of the Lao Gu family. "Zhu Jianqiang is Zhu Jianyi's cousin and the son of the breeder Aunt Zhu.

The second daughter of the old Gu family is called Er Nier, the old man of their family is still there, the two brothers are not separated, the eldest son gave birth to three daughters, there is no son, the eldest daughter is called Da Nier, the second daughter is Ernier, and there is a third daughter, called Sannier.

Zhao Yunyun muttered in a low voice: "Chen San'er was not selected...... Zhao Ke didn't hear clearly, and asked sideways: "What did you say?" Zhao Yunyun shook her head and didn't say anything. Zhao Xinshan immediately called four people and went door to door to inform them.

Mr. Zhu, everyone——

Boss Zhu and Aunt Zhu were pleasantly surprised, and Zhu Jianqiang himself was also excited. The second husband and wife next door to them were very envious, and Zhu Jianyi was also a little disappointed.

But after all, the old Zhu family chose one person, and they soon all became happy for Zhu Jianqiang. Lao Gu's house——

Boss Gu was full of red faces, and the couple had three daughters, and they had never had any status in the family, but they raised their eyebrows once.

Gu Ernier was so happy that tears came out.

Gu Sannier jumped up and down and shouted: "

My sister is going to be a soldier! That's great! My sister is going to be a soldier!"

Gu Lao and his wife in a courtyard listened to it, they felt uncomfortable, out of sight and out of mind, and hid back to the house.

Gu Lao Er said: "Our kid also went, why didn't he choose, what's the use of the girl's choice." ”

His daughter-in-law said sourly: "Er Nier is five big and three thick, not like a girl, I guess I chose it this way." ”

But no matter how sour they are, they can't change the fact that Ernier was selected.

Lao Gutou and Mrs. Lao Gu didn't expect that their precious grandson was not chosen, but the second granddaughter, who had always been unfavorable, was chosen, and it was rare to give the eldest son's family a little smile. Mr. and Mrs. Gu were excited and grateful: "If Director Zhao hadn't signed up, and came to persuade our parents when they didn't agree, how could Ernier have this opportunity." ”

"Yes, thank you so much Director Zhao......"

The couple were talking and talking, their eyes red uncontrollably.

Sixth Uncle Zhao Jianfa -

Zhao Xuanzhu'er said filial piety: "When I have an allowance in the future, I will send it home and build a new house for my parents." The family is also happy that Zhao Zhuzhu'er can be a soldier.

Aunt Zhao Liujie and Zhao Pingping specially cooked a good meal and good dishes, and even Zhao Xiaocao, who usually had a little temper with Zhao Xuanzhu, also circled around him, a little reluctant. And they rejoiced, and some of them were red and about to drip blood......
