Zhao Ke and the others didn't know what happened to Yu Xiumin's house, after eating at noon, they estimated that the minibus was about to arrive, and the three of them drove the ox cart to the intersection to pick up people.

It was cold, no matter how thick the clothes were, they could freeze through, and the three of them couldn't sit still, so they all stomped on the ground while waiting for the car, moving their bodies to keep warm.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the minibus came in from afar, and the three of them looked at it together.

As the minivan approached, two familiar and surprised faces appeared by the window.

Zhao Xinshan, a person who didn't like to be very fond of his son in front of his son, couldn't help but wave his hand at Zhao Rui.

Yu Xiulan and Zhao Ke also acted in the same way. The minibus stopped, and the passengers crowded to the door.

Under the car, Zhao Xinshan greeted him, and was swayed from side to side by the crowd of people who got out of the car, unable to get close, and still trying to move forward. Zhao Ke and Yu Xiulan stood a little farther away, and they inevitably had to avoid pedestrians. Finally, Zhao Jianguo and Zhao Rui squeezed out of the car and reunited with their relatives.

Zhao Xinshan clasped Zhao Rui's arm with one hand, patted his shoulder excitedly with the other, looked at him and said: "Okay, good ......" Next to it, the couple haven't seen each other for half a year, Zhao Jianguo directly hugged Yu Xiulan emotionally.

Yu Xiulan also hugged him tightly.

Zhao Ke was excluded by his middle-aged parents, and he walked around them in a small circle with his arms half open, but he still couldn't insert the gap, and finally had to give up.

Behind a few people, Professor Su's father and daughter finally stepped out of the minibus.

In the first few years, there was a lot of trouble, but Professor Su survived and was not beaten, and Soho hardly suffered much.

The first time she came to the country, she got off the train, and she was dizzy all the way, sitting in a crowded and bumpy minibus, dizzy, and very embarrassed.

Professor Su went through the war when he was young, and he occasionally visited some remote places during interviews and articles, and his face was stronger than hers, but his neat coat and tunic were all wrinkled.

They were well-dressed, but there were too few, and when the cold wind blew, they all shivered a little.

Zhao Ke ignored it, noticed the two of them for the first time, and took the initiative to step forward: "Professor Su?" Professor Su didn't know her, his eyes were unfamiliar, and his head was bowed. And Soho looked at her with scrutiny and measurement in his eyes.

Zhao Ke was inexplicable, raised his hand and patted Zhao Rui, and asked him to greet the guests. Soho's eyes became more blunt as she moved, almost hostile and critical.

To strangers, it's weird. Zhao Ke introduced himself to the two: "Hello, Professor Su, I am Zhao Ke, the women's director of the Zhao Cun'er Brigade."

Soho's hostility all at once

Dissipate.

I don't know her, I'm hostile to her, I know who she is, and it's gone... Zhao Ke pondered

Professor Su began to look at her, "You are Zhao Ke, the women's director?" And Zhao Rui finally remembered the people he had forgotten and introduced them to each other.

Zhao Xinshan stretched out his hands with a pair of rough hands, "Professor Su, hello, hello." Professor Su shook hands with him, "Hello, Captain Zhao."

When it was Soho's turn, Zhao Rui deliberately avoided Soho's gaze, didn't look at her, and said softly: "This is Professor Su's daughter, Soho." "

Zhao Ke's eyes narrowed slightly.

Zhao Xinshan didn't notice it, and just verbally greeted a girl from Soho, and beckoned them to hurry up and get into the ox cart, "Professor Su, it's cold outside, let's hurry back to the village."

The cart is not big, and there are two thick thick straw mats on it, which seem to have soil that has not been swept and looks a little dirty.

How does this sit? Su He looked at the ox cart, frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Rui.

"Jianguo, let's sit in front." Zhao Xinshan arranged, "Classmate Su looks thin, squeeze in the middle, block the wind, don't freeze." Zhao Jianguo didn't say a word, and sat in front of the cart, followed by Zhao Rui and Professor Su, followed by Soho.

A board car seats seven people, and you have to squeeze and plug in.

Zhao Rui shrank his feet unnaturally, trying to avoid being hit by Soho. A tall, lanky man, huddled in a ball.

And Soho climbed onto the scooter and looked at the small square space between his father and Zhao Rui, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his face was shy. The atmosphere between young men and women is extremely subtle.

These days, the most sensitive thing about the people of Zhao Cun'er is this atmosphere, almost everyone can capture it for the first time, and then smile warmly.

However, at this moment, Zhao Xinshan and Yu Xiulan's faces changed, and they were not in the mood to ridicule.

The atmosphere is stale.

Faced with such a scene, Professor Su sighed slightly, wanting to play a round for his daughter.

At this time, Zhao Ke grabbed Zhao Xinshan's wrist, exerted a slight force, and said with a smile: "Brother Rui, let's change it with my father, let him sit with my mother, and I will sit next to Soho, just chatting with Professor Su and Su."

Zhao Jianguo immediately got off the car and went around to the back of the car. Zhao Rui sat in front in silence, next to Professor Su.

Although they were still close, they were not so close that men and women were crowded together, and their backs were to the crowd. Zhao Xinshan also knew that he couldn't lose his face in front of outsiders, so he sat straight forward

Noodles, holding a whip in one hand and a rope in the other.

Everyone got into the ox cart, sat down, passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, Yu Xiulan dragged Zhao Jianguo down, took the kettle, filled it with hot water, took two hot water and brought them out, and handed them to Professor Su and Su Ho.

Zhao Kedao: "Professor Su, classmate Su, cold, right? It's warm, it's going to be a long walk. It was indeed very cold, the father and daughter thanked each other, hugged them in their arms, and felt a trace of warmth in their frozen bodies.

The ox cart drove again, and the others were in no mood to speak, only Zhao Ke, as if he hadn't noticed anything, talked to Professor Su's father and daughter casually.

In the cold wind, only the voices of her and the father and daughter could be heard.

She didn't ask about the interview, and chatted about it, but found out a lot of things. Professor Su is not only a university professor, but also an associate editor of a magazine in the provincial capital, and a frequent contributor to newspapers elsewhere.

Soho studied literature at Hucheng University, and the literary literacy revealed in his words was indeed very high, and he was full of the ideals and pursuits of young people with new knowledge, and he was not shrewd by the society at all.

Zhao Ke has not read many literary books, but she has read a lot of newspapers, so she can't say that she fully understands the spiritual world of young people outside, and there is no problem in communicating with Soho.

Soho said: "In the past two years, the number of people going to the countryside has declined sharply, and most of the educated youths have a passive attitude of resisting joining the queue to the countryside, and it is a blasphemy to the ideal to stay in the countryside to spend time."

Zhao Ke said: "You are right, the existence of decadent elements is indeed contrary to the down-to-earth and pragmatic needs of the motherland's construction."

Soho said: "The study at the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers is a rare opportunity for everyone to get together, read their own works, share their thoughts, appreciate each other's talents, and fill the spiritual emptiness of the past."

Zhao Ke nodded, "The collision of ideas of intellectual young people often produces unexpected sparks, which is an activity that stimulates the heart and brain, and only with passion, ideals and enthusiasm can we devote ourselves to all aspects of building the country."

Soho said: "You know what? On the campus of the university, students would compose songs together, and when they sat around the fire and hummed together, the kind of romance was very beautiful. "

Zhao Ke: "I understand, when we have a bumper harvest, the grain is piled up into a mountain, all the members get together, and the joy in the chest resonates, which is another wave immersion, and it is also wonderful." "

Soho: "......"

Obviously, there are echoes in every sentence, but they don't seem to be very compatible. Zhao Ke likes to chat with Soho. This girl is really simple and innocent.

Zhao Ke is not

It is unrealistic to think that she is unrealistic, there are such people in every era, and when they enter the real society, change the rules or smooth the edges and corners, become pioneers or the most ordinary cornerstone in society, there is always a way.

As for the conversation between the two people, Zhao Jianguo and Zhao Xinshan listened to it in their ears, and they all felt that Zhao Ke was more comfortable talking. Even Zhao Rui listened to Zhao Ke's words, and his mind would be calmer.

They are all countrymen, and they will only feel vain about those things that they can't see or touch, and they will be irritable and cowardly in vain, but Zhao Ke said it, and I don't know if they have listened too much, or they are closer to them, without any uncomfortable emotions.

Professor Su had a good impression of Zhao Ke, the young female director of the brigade, when she broke the siege for her daughter, so that they were not too embarrassed, and the goodwill rose to a new level, and after he listened to the conversation between the two girls, he was also a little convinced that Zhao Ke played an important role in disaster relief.

"Comrade Zhao, I heard Zhao Rui say that you are the leader in selling cabbage in your commune, can you tell me, what do you think?"

Here it comes.

Zhao Ke's face remained unchanged, and he carefully considered his words and sentences, showing Professor Su the image of a "modest, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, capable, and rural cadre with infinite expectations for the future of the motherland".

Ever since she knew about the interview, she was planning how to do it better for her.

Even if the news should be fair, objective and true, the temperature of the text is presented by the author, and the difference between one word and one word is very different.

The relationship between Zhao Rui and this Soho classmate was an accident, but it was not all bad for her, at least, it became easier to find the right direction if she wanted to gain Professor Su's favor.

For such a "simple" girl, his father should have worked hard to hold up an umbrella for her......

Zhao Ke wants to pave the way for his future.

Zhao Rui happened to tell people about her, which happened to attract the attention of Professor Su, and Professor Su happened to decide to come for an interview...... And she just seized the opportunity and took advantage of it.

They talked all the way, and at six o'clock, it was almost dark, and the ox cart finally arrived at Zhao Village. Professor Su's gaze was drawn to the two buildings in the dim light, "This is?"

Zhao Ke did not show pride, and introduced indifferently: "This is an earthen kiln built by our brigade independently, and bricks will be burned every day, next to the large warehouse of our brigade's collective activities in winter, and the members will do some carpentry in it, and two keel waterwheels have just been assembled some time ago."

She knew that someone would be proud of her.

"Burning bricks? Waterwheel?"

Professor Su immediately took out his camera and wanted to take a picture, but when he lifted it, he could only see a dark outline

, had to be put down regrettably. Zhao Cun'er's brigade was more special than he thought at first, and Professor Su was faintly excited in his heart. Zhao Jianguo and Zhao Rui looked at the shock of the earthen kiln and the big warehouse, no less than Professor Su.

They corresponded with their families, and of course they knew the current situation in the village, but they knew that they were completely different from what they saw with their own eyes. Yes, both of them were shocked inside.

They have not participated in the construction process from scratch, there is no sense of accumulation, and the impact of suddenly seeing the finished product is beyond words.

Change with each passing day.

&

nbsp; Their hometown has changed like never before.

The pride in the chests of the two people was surging, and even when they recalled the helplessness when they first arrived in the provincial capital, they had a kind of satisfaction of withstanding the test and passing the test.

The door of the big warehouse opened, and a group of people came out with kerosene lamps, and they were excited when they saw the figures.

"Zhao Rui!" Brother!" Founding!

A group of people came around, Li Hehua, Qu Qianqian, and Zhao Hehua all surrounded Zhao Rui, and Zhao Siye and others surrounded Zhao Jianguo. They have been waiting in Daku, just waiting for Zhao Jianguo and Zhao Rui to come back. And when they got closer, they realized that there were two more strangers.

The kerosene lamp was raised, and both men were dressed in well-cut and straight coats, and they looked outstanding and polite. Everyone is accustomed to it, and the thoughts that float in their hearts are very similar-

Oh, it's someone again.

Who is it?

Li Hehua took on the responsibility of the captain's wife and beckoned: "I have prepared a meal inside, go in and sit." A group of people crowded around and entered the warehouse.

There is no electricity in the large warehouse, only kerosene lamps and candles, which are not very shiny, but they can be seen clearly.

The young people from the other villages have all gone home for the Chinese New Year, and the carpentry work in the workshop has been suspended, and everything is neatly arranged on both sides, with only a long table in the middle.

Zhao Xinshan invited Professor Su's father and daughter to sit down, Li Hehua beckoned his daughter-in-law and Zhao Yunyun to serve food, and Teacher Wu also went to help. At this time, Zhao Xinshan explained to the others the identities and intentions of Professor Su and Soho.

Interview?!

The crowd exclaimed.

Or a big professor from the provincial town!

Immediately, Zhao Siye unconsciously straightened his clothes, overjoyed, "Eh~ This is really a glorious ancestor." Their expressions did not seem to be fake, and Professor Su knew that they were not prepared, so he asked questions.

Zhao Siye and the others were restrained, but they were almost incoherent, a little stumbling, the words could be explained, and the more they spoke, the smoother they became, and their expressions became more and more proud.

"Zhao Ke is our Zhao Village

A native of the brigade of intellectuals! It's the first high school student!"

She just became the women's director, and everyone thinks she is young, but they can't believe it, who knows that she can really do things.

Zhao Ke said that we wanted to dig a canal to prevent flooding, we were uneducated, we all felt idle and had nothing to do, and we didn't believe her, but she had prestige among the young people in our village, so she took about 20 young people to dig for a month.

And guess what, it's raining!

Professor Su directly took out a pen, recorded it, and said secretly: It's not just a rainstorm.

Before he came, he collected some relevant information, and knew that the rainstorm had been raining for more than half a month, and the waterlogging had swept through several communes in the province, among which Shuangshan Commune was the most serious, but only Zhao Cun'er's brigade suffered a small loss.

Professor Su took advantage of the dim light to record and ask for details.

"Let's eat." Li Lotus greeted, What is there to say.

Zhao Xinshan said: "The food in the countryside is simple, Professor Su, classmate Su, don't mind." Professor Su shook his head, "We're here suddenly, so we're disturbing you." Soho was squeamish, but polite, and shook her head, indicating that she didn't care. Li Lotus and the others have eaten, and they are going to sit next to them and wait for the vegetables to be added.

Zhao Xinshan stopped them and solemnly introduced: "Professor Su, this is my daughter-in-law, Li Lotus; This is my daughter, Zhao Yunyun; This is Zhao Rui's daughter-in-law, Qu Qianqian, who has not yet received the certificate, but the two have already passed the clear road.

Zhao Xinshan rarely introduced the women of the family to the guests so solemnly, and Li Lotus and the three of them didn't know why, but they also greeted politely.

Workers, peasants and soldiers must be unmarried, Zhao Rui and Qu Qianqian did not get a certificate, Zhao Rui can indeed be regarded as unmarried.

Similar situations are not a few in the Workers' and Peasants' and Soldiers' University, and basically no one has studied them deeply, but for the sake of more things than less things, they basically claim to be unmarried.

Professor Su was a smart man and immediately understood Zhao Xinshan's intentions.

In fact, Zhao Rui can completely deny Qu Qianqian's existence, and even if he wants to come, he can send Qu Qianqian away in advance. But he admitted it, and he stuck to his boundaries......

Professor Su has seen too many people, and human nature is complex, and he can't explain it in a few words, so he has no reason to be angry with Zhao Rui.

And Soho, who was observing the two young women when she came in, is now locked on Qu Qianqian, and does not hide her scrutiny and pickiness at all.

Appearance is mediocre.

Low eyebrows are pleasing to the eye.

It's just ordinary

of rural women.

Why did such a person tie up Zhao Rui? Why did Zhao Rui resist her for her? Soho was not convinced.

Qu Qianqian raised her eyes and looked at her, out of the consciousness of a woman, she felt a sense of crisis for the first time, and then she was ashamed of herself. Soho is the daughter of a professor, a college student, with a superior family background, outstanding appearance and temperament, and is much better than her everywhere. Qu Qianqian felt a huge uneasiness for a moment, her nose was sour, and she was at a loss.

Why did she face such a situation?

Zhao Ke was supposed to be considerate, but she didn't move, just looked at Zhao Rui.

Why did Qu Qianqian face such a situation? It's all because of him. Zhao Rui got up guiltily and held Qu Qianqian's hand, I have been working hard for you to take care of your parents in the past few months.

Qu Qianqian wanted to cry aggrievedly, but she couldn't help it, pulled the corners of her mouth at him, and shook her head, You can eat.

She withdrew her hand, no matter more, she didn't have the strength to say more. Zhao Rui became more and more guilty.

Soho stared at the two of them, his eyes full of unwillingness. Zhao Ke looked at the three of them, took a deep breath, and calmed down.

What is Zhao Rui doing?

Why create such a bloody situation?

Zhao Ke showed a smile and beckoned: "Brother Rui, sit down and eat, you are all tired, go home early to rest after eating." ”

She turned to Professor Su again and invited, "Professor Su, you and Soho can go to my house to live, my house happens to have an empty room for you to live in, Soho and I live in the same room, is it okay?"

Professor Su had no opinion and nodded in agreement.

People who don't know about it, all work hard to warm up, and no one pays attention to the inexplicable triangular relationship. One meal was eaten, and the people did not stay longer.

Zhao Xinshan drove the ox cart to send Zhao Siye and Professor Su's father and daughter, and Zhao Ke's family returned to the village first. After Zhao Siye entered the village, he got off the ox cart.

When they arrived at Zhao Ke's house, Zhao Jianguo and Yu Xiulan led the father and daughter into the settlement, Zhao Ke took a step slower and asked Zhao Xinshan: "Uncle, what about Brother Rui......

Zhao Xinshan had a cold face, "Don't persuade me, this bastard dares to be sorry for your sister-in-law, if you don't teach me a lesson, you can't do it!" Zhao Ke said deliberately: "It seems that nothing has happened, Brother Rui may be a little indecisive......"

"I'm his father, I know him better than you!" Zhao Xinshan suppressed his anger, he was just blinded in the city! Otherwise, there is something that is unclear, and there is no object to find such a good girl!

Zhao Ke sighed, Uncle, start lightly.

r/> "I have a number." ”

Zhao Xinshan sent the cow back to the cowshed and walked home quickly.

The rest of the family hadn't returned, and he was sitting alone in the hall. Li Lotus finished packing up and came back together. Li Hehua and Zhao Yunyun didn't know anything, and pulled Zhao Rui to ask east and west.

Qu Qianqian walked quietly.

Zhao Yunyun teased heartlessly: "Sister-in-law, my brother is back, why don't you have a word, are you shy?" Qu Qianqian was silent.

Zhao Rui didn't dare to look at her, and absentmindedly answered the questions of his mother and sister.

When the four of them arrived home, as soon as Li Hehua opened the door, she saw Zhao Xinshan sitting there, startled, and complained: "You person, the black light is blind, it's not scary, why don't you light the light?

Zhao Xinshan's cold voice sounded, closing the door.

It's all dead......

Li Hehua asked Zhao Yunyun, who came in later, to close the door and go to light the kerosene lamp by herself.

And the moment the light turned on, Zhao Xinshan picked up the broom and pumped it to Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui was beaten motionless.

Li Hehua was stunned for a few seconds, and just rushed up to stop him, My son has been back for so long, what are you doing? Zhao Yunyun hugged his arm, Yes, Dad, why are you beating people?

The broom in Zhao Xinshan's hand pointed at Zhao Rui, furious, You ask him, what's the matter with Professor Su's daughter! Li Hehua didn't understand, and looked at Zhao Rui, What do you mean?

Zhao Rui couldn't refute it.

He couldn't deny the despicable thoughts he had had several times. A more beautiful, temperamental, and heartwarming wife. A road that could be easier. A heart that has been shaken....he is really despicable.

Li Hehua's eyes filled with disbelief and disappointment. Zhao Yunyun's hand gradually loosened. Zhao Xinshan's broom was pumped towards Zhao Rui again. Li Hehua and Zhao Yunyun were also so angry that they rushed up to hammer him and beat him.

Why did I give birth to such a bastard as you, are you worthy of your daughter-in-law!" My sister-in-law is so good, why do you make her sad!"

Zhao Rui did not resist.

He should have hit.

He needs a beating, to dispel all his illusions of "luck" with men.

br />

She stepped forward and grabbed Li Hehua and Zhao Yunyun, Mom, Yunyun, don't fight......

Li Lotus shook off her hand, Don't worry about it, I'll teach my son a lesson.

No matter who the daughter-in-law is, if the son has a problem with his character, he can't be soft.

In particular, Zhao Xinshan had high hopes for Zhao Rui, and he used to be raised by him as the current captain.

Li Hehua was a little careful, this kind of thing can't be ambiguous, Qu Qianqian stopped her, her daughter-in-law had a soft temper, and she obviously couldn't control men, she was even more energetic, snatched the broom in Zhao Xinshan's hand, and slapped it on Zhao Rui's body, snapping.

Qu Qianqian was a little worried on her face.

Zhao Yunyun snorted heavily at her brother, dragged Qu Qianqian away, and didn't let her stop her, "Sister-in-law, don't be soft-hearted, my brother should beat."

Zhao Xinshan also said solemnly: "Yes, don't stop him, he has made a mistake and must be taught a lesson." Qu Qianqian said anxiously: "Mom, you take it lightly, don't hurt your hands." The broom in Li Hehua's hand froze, and she turned back stupidly, Ah? Zhao Xinshan, Zhao Yunyun, and Zhao Rui also looked at her with blank expressions: ......
