Jia Taohua is Qin Huairu's sister, and Qin Huairu doesn't mind her staying in the capital.
but.
She absolutely does not want her to marry Yan Jiefang.
If you become a relative of the Yan family, you will definitely be exploited by Yan Bugui.
At that time, I will ask you to borrow a bottle of vinegar to eat dumplings today, and ask you to borrow half a catty of noodles to eat noodles tomorrow.
They are all relatives, do you want to borrow it or not?
Yan Jiefang was so shocked by Qin Huairu that he didn't dare to say a word.
After all, Qin Huairu is the eldest man in the courtyard. In terms of position, he is one level higher than his father Yan Bugui.
"You are busy"
Yan Jiefang laughed twice and returned to the courtyard dejectedly.
But he was not reconciled.
The shadow of Jia Taohua has been deeply engraved in his mind.
Yan Jiefang felt that he was just like those infatuated men in the manuscripts, and he would give everything for Jia Taohua.
then.
In the afternoon, Yan Jiefang took advantage of the fact that there were almost no residents in the courtyard and quietly sneaked to the door of Xu's house.
The door was closed tightly, and Yan Jiefang knocked gently.
inside the house.
Jia Taohua had just fed Jia Zhangshi black cornstarch and water, and was about to sit back on the chair and read a book.
Hearing the knock on the door, Jia Taohua walked over and opened the door.
Seeing Yan Jiefang standing outside the door, Jia Taohua subconsciously wanted to close the door.
"Taohua, don't be like this, I just want to chat with you for a while."
Yan Jiefang held on to the door panel. Although he was useless, he was a man after all and was much stronger than Jia Taohua.
"Yan Jiefang, get out of the way quickly. If you do this again, I will call someone!"
Jia Taohua pushed twice and failed to close the door. She was a little anxious and glared at Yan Jiefang.
Yan Jiefang was a little anxious when he heard this. If Jia Taohua really called someone, he would not be able to escape the suspicion of a gangster.
"Taohua, listen to my explanation, I'm really just chatting with you."
As Yan Jiefang spoke, he rushed into the house and wanted to cover Jia Taohua's mouth.
"Help!" Jia Taohua saw that the situation was not good and shouted.
At this time, Li Weidong had just returned from drinking with some friends in a tavern and was about to go home and take a rest.
When I heard the shouting, I was stunned for a moment, and then walked quickly to the middle courtyard.
Yan Jiefang had already controlled Jia Taohua and was about to take the next step.
Hearing the rapid footsteps, Yan Jiefang turned pale with fright, suddenly let go of Jia Taohua, and rushed out of the house.
Li Weidong saw a dark shadow jumping out of Xu's house, and originally wanted to go up and block the shadow.
But when he heard Jia Taohua's cry coming from inside the house, he did not hesitate, gave up chasing the shadow, and strode into the house.
This was the first time Jia Taohua encountered such a thing, and she was so frightened that she cried loudly when she saw Li Weidong coming in, and threw herself into Li Weidong's arms.
"Brother Wei Dong, just now. Just now"
Seeing Jia Taohua crying, Li Weidong quickly patted Jia Taohua on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't cry, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you."
Jia Taohua gradually woke up as she listened to the steady heartbeat in his chest, her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
He let go slightly, lowered his head and said, "Brother Wei Dong, I lost my temper just now."
"It's okay." Li Weidong chuckled and said, "Taohua, what happened."
When mentioning what happened just now, Jia Taohua was still frightened and said in a trembling voice: "It's Yan Jiefang from the Yan family. He wants to play gangster on me."
Yan Jiecheng.
Li Weidong frowned. In his impression, Yan Jiefang was not the kind of person who had the courage to do such a thing.
However, this is not the time to consider it.
Li Weidong looked at Jia Taohua and said, "Taohua, did you leave any traces on Yan Jiefang just now?"
"No." Jia Taohua raised her eyelids and thought for a moment, then shook her head: "He just rushed in and hugged me, and you came in."
This is a bit difficult to handle. Even if Jia Taohua accuses Yan Jiecheng, there is no way to send Yan Jiecheng to the fence.
On the contrary, it will damage Jia Taohua's reputation.
Li Weidong knows Yan Bugui very well.
According to Yan Bugui's intelligence, when the time comes to face the small-scale policemen who come to investigate the case, they will definitely use Jia Taohua's initiative to seduce Yan Jiefang as an excuse to excuse Yan Jiefang.
Jia Taohua is a country girl and a nanny who comes to the city, while Yan Bugui is the elder of the courtyard and an old teacher. The residents will definitely trust Jia Taohua more than Jia Taohua.
It seems that this matter still needs to be figured out slowly.
but.
This matter concerns Jia Taohua.
It's up to Jia Taohua to make the choice.
Li Weidong gently shook Jia Taohua's hand and said with a smile: "Taohua, if you want to report the crime, I will go with you now."
Only then did Jia Taohua realize that her little hand was still held by Li Weidong. She wanted to pull it back, but was reluctant because she felt a sense of security that she had never felt before.
Seeing Jia Taohua blushing and saying nothing, Li Weidong asked again in a louder voice.
"Ah?!" Jia Taohua was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said, "No, no need, we have no evidence. I'm still a country boy. Even if I report the crime, I can't move Yan Jiefang."
Hearing this, Li Weidong couldn't help but glance at Jia Taohua.
She is calm in chaos and can hold back the anger in her heart. This girl will definitely not be easy in the future.
He saw several textbooks on the desk, picked one up and flipped through it.
"Why, are you still thinking about going to school?"
"No chance. I am already eighteen years old this year. I only have a primary school education. It is too late to study anymore. I just want to learn more knowledge." Jia Taohua said with a smile.
Li Weidong turned his head and looked at her quietly for a moment.
"Taohua, actually you don't have the opportunity to go to school. There are junior high schools and high schools in the steel rolling mill."
"Brother Wei Dong, are you willing to help me go to school?" Jia Taohua's eyes widened with excitement. Studying is her lifelong dream.
From a young age, she vowed to go to college, but unfortunately, her family's conditions did not allow it.
At that time, Jia Taohua's father was not the captain of the production team and could not even afford the tuition fee of one yuan and fifty cents every year.
"Of course, I think if you continue studying, you will definitely have a future."
"Brother Wei Dong, you are so kind to me."
Jia Taohua mustered up her courage and put her arms around Li Weidong's waist.
A trembling sound escaped from his throat.
"I want to be with you."
Li Weidong turned to look at Jia Zhang who was lying on the bed.
Jia Zhang's eyes were as wide as walnuts, her lips were trembling, and her throat made a whirring sound.
Li Weidong believed that if Jia Zhang could move now, he would definitely rush forward and fight him desperately.
Li Weidong ignored Jia Zhang, gently held Jia Taohua's hand, and said with a smile: "Taohua, let's go into the back room."
The Xu family's house has two rooms. In order to seize the Xu family's house, Qin Huairu and several stewards separated them with partitions.
Jia Taohua followed Li Weidong into the back room.
Mrs. Jia Zhang stared at the roof, then suddenly her eyes turned white and she fainted.
Twenty-three thousand words were omitted.
After a long time.
Li Weidong got dressed, hugged Jia Taohua and sat on the bed, talking quietly.
Compared with Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru, Jia Taohua is characterized by tenderness, as tender as a cabbage, which makes people feel pity for her.
At this time, Jia Taohua was so tired that she was sweating profusely, but her eyes were full of hope for the future.
"Brother Wei Dong, you just said you wanted to send me to school, weren't you lying to me?"
"Of course not." Li Weidong pinched her nose gently twice and said with a smile: "I know the leaders of the junior high school and high school of the steel rolling mill. It will depend on your level at that time, whether you are suitable for junior high school or high school.
.”
Going to junior high school at the age of eighteen may sound a bit unbelievable, but don’t forget that in this era, there are also many students with gray hair in elementary schools.
Of course.
If Jia Taohua is not a talent that can be developed, Li Weidong will just send her to school and will not provide additional help.
If Jia Taohua is really a talent, Li Weidong will do great things in the future and needs help.
I will definitely train her vigorously.
Jia Taohua's eyes lit up and she nodded excitedly: "Don't worry, I haven't put down my homework these years, and I will definitely not embarrass you."
Although Li Weidong said it easily.
Jia Taohua is not a three-year-old child, and she understands that at her age.
With her status, Li Weidong would definitely have to pay a high price to study in school.
Jia Taohua took Li Weidong's hand and raised her head: "Brother Weidong, I miss you."
night.
Quietly.
Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru returned to the courtyard after a tiring day.
He did not go back to the house immediately, but went to visit Jia Zhang in Xu's house.
Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang's angry look, Qin Jingru was a little confused: "Taohua, why did you do this to Mrs. Jia Zhang? You look at her like a toad, with only air coming in and no air coming out."
Qin Huairu hadn't noticed Jia Zhang at first, but she quickly looked over after hearing this.
I saw that Jia Zhang's cheeks and eyes were bulging, and her belly was also bulging, really like a toad.
At that time, Jia Taohua was so excited that she didn't notice Jia Zhang at all.
It was only after Li Weidong left that she saw Jia Zhang on the bed, rolling her eyes, opening her mouth slightly, salivating, as if she was about to burp.
Jia Taohua panicked and rushed to treat Jia Zhang.
Fortunately, when she was in the village, she learned a few tricks from the barefoot doctor in the village, pinching people, and pouring water, and finally she was able to rescue Jia Zhang.
However, it is strange to say.
Ever since Jia Zhang was rescued, she has turned into an angry toad.
Fortunately, Jia Zhang couldn't speak, but Jia Taohua was not afraid.
"Well, maybe it's because I forgot to give Jia Zhang a drink of water while I was reading, and she acted like this when she was angry." Jia Taohua explained with a smile.
Qin Huairu knew that Jia Taohua loved to study, so she didn't think much about it. She nodded and said, "It's okay. You don't have to worry. If you get thirsty occasionally, Jia Zhang will not die."
The heart hanging in Jia Taohua's throat was finally put into her stomach.
She felt that if she met Li Weidong in the future, she should choose a more private place, such as the vegetable cellar in the backyard.
Today, Jia Taohua is responsible for cooking for the Jia family. She often goes in and out of the vegetable cellar, knowing that it is very secretive and no one usually goes there.
What she didn't notice was that Qin Jingru was staring at her from the side.
Qin Jingru felt something was wrong ever since she entered the house.
She is younger than Qin Huairu and has a more sensitive sense of smell than Qin Huairu. She always feels that there is a smell of heather in the house.
It is winter now, and heather blooms in spring, and is generally distributed in Lingnan.
What's going on?
Qin Jingru narrowed her eyes slightly.
When Li Weidong agreed to help Jia Taohua go to school, he was not deceiving Jia Taohua.
After going to work the next day, he patrolled the poverty alleviation workshop as usual, and after a few words with Qin Jingru, Li Weidong rode his bicycle to the Steel Rolling Mill High School.
The steel rolling mill is a large state-owned factory with tens of thousands of employees. If the affiliated factories are included, the number of workers is as many as 15,000, and the number of employees' family members is as many as 30,000 or 40,000.
In order to facilitate the children of steel rolling mill employees to study, the steel rolling mill built elementary schools, junior high schools and high schools.
Yan Bugui and Ran Qiuye are primary school teachers.
When Li Weidong was working as a truck driver, he once took a high school dean along with him to visit relatives in Northeast China.
The two chatted on the way to the Northeast and became good friends. After returning, they went to the tavern several times to drink.
Li Weidong went to Steel Rolling Mill High School this time just to find this director.
It was time for students to go to school. Zhang Mingde, the academic director of Steel Rolling Mill High School, was checking the students' clothing at the school gate.
When you come across those whose hair is too long or who are dressed like little gangsters, take them aside and ask them to reflect on their mistakes.
Seeing Li Weidong's figure, Zhang Mingde's eyes lit up and he reached out to call for a clerk from the Academic Affairs Office.
"Xiao Liu, please help me, I have a friend here."
"Director, don't worry, as long as I'm here to keep an eye on you, everything will be fine."
Zhang Mingde handed over the work and walked quickly towards Li Weidong. Before he got closer, he said with a smile: "Brother Li, long time no see. You are now the director, and you don't want to invite me to drink."
"Hahaha" Li Weidong smiled heartily, took out a soft Chinese stick from his pocket and handed it over: "Brother Zhang, judging from what you said, am I, Li Weidong, that kind of person?"
"You're kidding, who in our steel rolling plant doesn't know that Director Li is the best friend." Zhang Mingde took the cigarette, lit it with a match, looked at Li Weidong and asked: "Brother, you, the great director, didn't come all the way here just for the sake of
Are you chatting with me?"
What is a smart person? This is it.
When we get along as friends, we can chat together.
If something happens, don't be nagging or pretending to be stupid.
Li Weidong took Zhang Mingde's arm and pulled him to a secluded place aside: "There is indeed something that needs your help this time. Originally, this kind of thing should be discussed at the wine table, but our relationship has long surpassed that of fair-weather friends.
I won’t hide it from you anymore.”
"I like to hear this." Zhang Mingde felt a little proud. Although he was also the director, the director was far less valuable than Li Weidong.
Li Weidong is the director of the poverty alleviation workshop, which is the leader of the steel rolling mill.
The high school can only be regarded as an affiliated unit of the steel rolling mill, and its importance and voice are far inferior to that of Li Weidong.
Li Weidong smiled and said: "I'm here to send you a student, but this student is a bit old and he is also a club member."
