Runye frowned and said, "Aunt Li? Is she Uncle Li's lover?"
Xu Aiyun nodded and said, "Yes, that's Qian Mama, the big leader of our hospital."
Du Lili asked, "Aunt Xu, is the advanced training class you are talking about a full-time class?"
Xu Aiyun said, "The full-time class lasts for two years, and the Teachers College will issue a diploma after graduation."
Du Lili leaned close to her friend's ear and whispered, "Run Ye, why are you hesitating? Just agree, and you will be a college student in two years. This opportunity is once in a lifetime."
Looking at her second mother with a smile on her face, a sentence suddenly popped into Runye's mind: showing courtesy for nothing is either adultery or stealing. Besides, she didn't want to have anything to do with the Li family anymore, so she refused to go to Huangyuan to study.
"Second mother, thank you Aunt Li. I appreciate her thoughts."
Seeing that her niece was so ignorant, Xu Aiyun became a little angry and said, "Run Ye, why do you refuse such a good thing! Aunt Li owes other leaders a lot of favors for this opportunity. If you refuse, ask your second mother to
How to step down? And your second father, and your Uncle Li are both old colleagues for many years."
Runye said unhappily, "You didn't ask me about further studies beforehand. Besides, Aunt Li and I are not relatives, so I can't bear this kind of kindness."
Xu Aiyun said angrily, "Run Ye, what do you mean?! Since you entered high school, you have lived and ate at my house, and your second father helped find a job. Second mother, please do something small for me today!"
At this time, the sound of horses neighing was heard outside the door. The three of them turned to look outside the door and saw Wang Lidong leading two big horses in the yard.
Run Ye immediately trotted out of the dormitory, "Brother Shao'an."
Wang Lidong tied up the two horses, hugged his wife, and kissed her, "Run Ye, I heard a quarrel in your house from a distance. What's wrong?"
Runye whispered what had just happened, and Wang Lidong snorted coldly, "Your second mother and Li Xiangqian are evil-minded. I will handle this matter."
Runye nodded.
After he walked into his wife's dormitory and said hello to Du Lili, he said to Xu Aiyun, "Aunt Fujun, Runye has been living and eating at your house these years. I also asked Uncle Fujun to help me find the teacher's job.
In total, I owe your family a huge favor.
But don’t forget, Uncle Fujun paid for all the food, drinks and tuition from elementary school to high school. Without Uncle Futang, Uncle Fujun would be where he is today?!
You came here today to ask Run Ye for a favor, so let’s calculate how many favors Uncle Fujun owes Uncle Futang!?
When you get back, you tell Uncle Fujun and let him return to Shuangshui Village when he has time. Let's calculate all the favors owed by the two families to each other and settle all the accounts."
Xu Aiyun immediately became speechless.
Wang Lidong continued, "Aunt Fujun, if you want to join the Li family, give your daughter to Li Xiangqian to be his wife. Don't think about my wife all day long. For Uncle Fujun's sake, this is the last time."
!
If you dare to take advantage of Runye again, don’t blame me for being fifteen!"
Xu Aiyun's face turned blue and white, and after snorting coldly, she slammed the door and left the dormitory!
Du Lili gave a thumbs up to her friend, "Run Ye, I won't disturb you two anymore." She walked to the door and saw two beautiful horses, turned around and said, "Run Ye, I'll go there as soon as I get back from Huangyuan.
Your family. When the time comes, you will teach me how to ride a horse."
Runye smiled and said, "Okay. But I have only ridden a donkey. If you want to ride a horse, you have to let Brother Shaoan teach you."
When Wang Lidong saw Du Lili looking at him, he said, "It's a trivial matter."
Du Lili waved her hand, "It's settled, let's go."
The two of them escorted Du Lili out of the courtyard. Wang Lidong took his wife back to the dormitory, closed the door, and drew the curtains.
Run Ye was a little panicked and said, "Brother Shao'an, this is a school."
Wang Lidong hugged his daughter-in-law and whispered into her ear, "It's a holiday now and there won't be many people. Let's just keep our voices down."
"release"
"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Get a towel"
An hour later, Runye, who had a rosy face, muttered, "It's already 4 o'clock, and it's already dark when we get home."
Wang Lidong strung the two quilts and the two bags with hemp rope, "No need. I came on horseback today, and I can reach Shuangshui Village before 5 o'clock."
Runye looked at his luggage and asked worriedly, "Can the little white horse carry so much?"
Wang Lidong picked up two quilts and said, "You underestimate our horses in Guanzhong. Although Xiaobai is not very old, he can still weigh a hundred pounds. Your luggage can only weigh sixty or seventy pounds at most." He said.
I walked into the dormitory and put two quilts on the horse.
Run Ye followed out of the dormitory carrying two large bags and said, "Brother Shao'an, you have more than one hundred and sixty, and I have more than ninety. Can Xiao Zao carry it?"
Wang Lidong put the two bags in his wife's hands on the horse and said, "Our Xiaozao is a strong man. He can easily carry 300 kilograms."
Runye touched the horse's head. Seeing that it was a familiar two-legged beast, Xiao Zao stretched out her tongue and licked it. She was surprised and said, "Brother Shao'an, Xiao Zao seems to be much taller than before." She stretched out her hand and gestured.
, "I remember that last time the horse's back reached the tip of my nose, but today it reached my forehead."
Wang Lidong said, "Xiao Zao is only 3 years old, just like when we are in our teens, it is the time to grow taller. Is there nothing left?"
Run Ye returned to the dormitory and looked around. After finding that there was nothing to pull down, she closed the dormitory door and said, "It's gone."
"Then let's go. Come here and I'll help you get on the horse." Wang Lidong put his wife on the back of Xiao Zao's horse, then turned over and sat on the horse, hugged his wife, gently pinched the horse's belly, and Xiao Zao gave it a slap
He snorted, stepped on his horse's hooves, and left the school.
After leaving the county town, Xiaozao Ma spread his legs and ran faster and faster. Before five o'clock, the two of them returned to Shuangshui Village.
"Shao'an, shall we have dinner at home tonight?" Runye's mother said happily when her son-in-law brought her daughter back.
Wang Lidong was not polite at all and nodded in agreement.
This double-faced person!
Tian Futang's face looked a little ugly.
Runye's mother asked, "Runye, when does school start?"
Runye untied the big white bag and took out the gifts prepared for his parents and brother, "I will go back to school to work on August 25th. Dad, I bought the latest sunglasses from Tolili at the Friendship Store in the provincial capital. They are made from China. You can wear them."
Go try it."
As she spoke, she put a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of her father's nose. Wang Lidong took a look and saw that they were actually a pair of toad glasses. When his father-in-law put them on, he looked like a black and sophisticated elder brother.
Tian Runsheng said with hot eyes, "Sister, you just bought one pair?"
Tian Futang looked in the mirror and found that he was more energetic than before. He was very satisfied. However, thinking that his daughter would stay at home for two months made him feel depressed. He glanced at Wang Lidong, a second-rate son-in-law, and said, "Shao Anwa, this
It’s been three months, why haven’t you made any movement?”
Wang Lidong took out his cigarettes, gave one to his father-in-law, lit it, took two puffs, and said, "Uncle Futang, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Tian Futang took the cigarette, sniffed it, and said, "You kid, don't pretend to be stupid with me. You can kill several pigs every day, plus the money for fanning pigs and treating animals in other villages, you can save at least three months."
If you spend 1,500 or 600 yuan, you will already have enough money to build a cave dwelling."
Brother-in-law Tian Runsheng said, "Brother-in-law probably wants to collect the money for the bride price first."
Tian Futang waved his hand and said, "Let's put the hoops on the new kiln first. Don't worry about the gift money. Runye will be 23 next year, so don't delay."
Wang Lidong nodded and said, "Since Uncle Futang said so, I will hoop the kiln first."
"Have you found the location of the new kiln?"
"It's right next to my house. My house was originally at the end of the village, and there weren't many people behind it."
Tian Futang nodded, "Who are you going to find for the kiln?"
"Jin Junwen, I will tell him tomorrow and ask him not to take any more work before the Chinese New Year next year."
Tian Futang asked doubtfully, "Are you planning to build a new kiln before the Chinese New Year next year?"
Wang Lidong nodded and said, "I haven't saved enough money yet. It will take me another five or six months to save up."
Tian Futang said in surprise, "Two new kilns only cost more than a thousand dollars. Where did your money go?"
"Uncle Futang, I'm going to hoop a new kiln with seven holes at a time. It's estimated to cost about four thousand."
"Why do you have so many cave dwellings?"
Wang Lidong stretched out his hand and said, "Run Ye and I share a room with my dad, grandma, Shaoping, little sister, and the future baby. It will take 6 holes, plus a utility room.
We can't let Runye and I live in a new cave dwelling, while Shaoping and Lanxiang continue to live in Jin Xiu's house, and my parents live in a dilapidated cave dwelling.
If this happens, I will definitely not be able to sleep well at night if I live in a new cave dwelling."
What a nonsense!
Newlyweds live in new cave dwellings, while many elderly people live in old cave dwellings!
But he couldn’t object to it face to face!
People have filial piety, and as a branch secretary, he has to encourage them!
Tian Futang looked at Wang Lidong and felt that this bastard did it on purpose!
According to his method, it would take almost a year to live in a new kiln.
Tian Futang felt a pain in his head and didn't want to talk to him anymore. He waved his hand, indicating that Wang Lidong could leave smoothly.
Runye said, "Dad, Brother Shaoan still has to eat at home."
Tian Futang got off the kang and put on the sunglasses his daughter bought. Run Ye asked, "Dad, are you going out?"
Tian Futang said, "I'll go to the brigade headquarters, you guys eat first, you don't have to wait for me."
Wang Lidong grinned, wondering how much his father-in-law disliked him.
However, this did not affect his good mood. The thought that his wife would stay in the village for two months made life sweeter and sweeter.
After dinner, Wang Lidong took Runye with him, and the two of them strolled back home.
"Brother, I ranked first in my grade in the final exam." As soon as I entered the house, my younger sister Lanxiang announced the good news.
Wang Lidong took the student handbook and a certificate from his younger sister, and opened the student handbook first, 'Chinese 95, Mathematics 100, Physics 100, Chemistry 99.'
With these results, he is definitely the best in primary school.
He touched his little sister's head and said, "She is really my little genius."
Run Ye took it and looked at it, and said in surprise, "Lan Xiang, you are so awesome."
Lan Xiang narrowed her eyes and nodded her head happily.
Opening the certificate again, "Classmate Sun Lanxiang was rated as one of the three best students in 1975 and an outstanding Hongxiao soldier."
Wang Lidong looked at Shaoping who was sitting on the kang and reading a book and said, "Have your grades come out too?"
Shaoping's face became a little unhappy, he put down his book and said dullly, "Come out."
Wang Lidong stretched out his hand and asked, "Where's the report card? What's your rank in the class?"
Shaoping took out the student handbook from his schoolbag, and Wang Lidong opened it and read "Chinese 139, Mathematics 91, English 56, Physics 67, Chemistry 61"
Chinese was just okay, math was barely passing, and several other subjects didn’t even pass the passing mark!
What a scumbag!
"Shaoping, what classes did you take this semester? With your grades, you won't be able to get into university if the college entrance examination is resumed.
Our rural household registration does not include distribution for high school graduates. You have to go home and farm. You have to think clearly."
Shaoping's eyes lit up, "Brother, you said the country will resume the college entrance examination?"
Wang Lidong had an expression that said, "What you're talking about is all nonsense." "From all over the world, since the introduction of the imperial examination, have you seen any dynasty that has been out of service for a long time?
Of course, there were dynasties that abolished the imperial examinations, but they fell into ruin within ten years.
In a few years, the college entrance examination will definitely be resumed. If you don’t want to go back to the village and work in the fields with your dad, just take classes seriously next semester!”
He stopped talking and stopped talking. He was not Shaoping's father. He looked at the old man sitting on the kang and smoking a cigarette. This was the real owner.
"I'm going to get something." After he finished speaking, he left the cave, came to his small earthen cave, found his money bag, took five ten yuan bills, returned to the cave, handed it to his little sister and said, "Lan Xiang,
This is Big Brother’s reward for being the first in the exam and being a top student.”
"Fifty?" Lan Xiang happily took the five pieces of unity and said, "Thank you, brother."
Wang Lidong said, "Tomorrow I will ask your sister Runye to accompany you to the commune, pull out a few feet of cloth and make two new clothes.
This Saturday, Sister Run Ye and I will accompany you to Huangyuan City for two days, and then we will help you buy some tutorial books. This will be considered as your reward for ranking first in the exam this time."
Lan Xiang felt her little head was dizzy, the reward was so generous.
"Brother, this is too expensive."
Wang Lidong stroked his little sister's head and said, "Our family is not short of food, clothing and money now. My little sister must study hard and get into college in the future. After graduation, she can stay in the city and no longer have to go back to the village to endure hardships."
Lan Xiang nodded her head vigorously, "Brother, I will work hard to get into college!"
Shaoping looked at the five Great Unity cards in his little sister's hands, thinking that it would be great if they were his own. Tian Xiaoxia asked him to go to Huangyuan for a few days during the summer, but unfortunately his pockets were empty.
Although the eldest brother has made a lot of money, he can now eat white flour steamed buns every time at school, and the clothes he wears have been replaced with new ones. But when it comes to pocket money, the eldest brother is very picky about him and only gives him 50 cents a month.
pocket money.
And this little girl Lan Xiang actually has 5 yuan!
Ten times as good as him!
Preferring girls over boys!
He also asked his eldest brother specifically, and the answer he got was very unexpected. The eldest brother was afraid that his younger sister would follow the same path as his older sister and be deceived by a piece of clothing.
* ̄WORK ̄
After eight o'clock, Shaoping and Lanxiang left the cave and rushed to Jinxiu's house to sleep. Halfway through, Shaoping hesitated and said, "Lanxiang"
Lan Xiang turned to look at her second brother, "Second brother, what's wrong?"
Sun Shaoping said sheepishly, "Lan Xiang, can you lend me 230 yuan from my second brother?"
"Okay, here you go." Lan Xiang handed over three big unity sheets.
Unexpectedly, the younger sister was so cheerful. Sun Shaoping took the three Great Unity cards and said gratefully, "Thank you Lanxiang. I will pay back the money as soon as possible."
Lan Xiang said there was no rush to pay back the money and she would pay it back when she had enough money.
Sun Shaoping said, "Why don't you ask my second brother what you want to do if you borrow so much money?"
Lan Xiang said, "Second brother will tell me if he wants to. If he doesn't want to tell me, it's useless for me to ask."
Sun Shaoping reached out and stroked the little sister's head, "You talk in the same way. Little sister, do you think what the elder brother said is to coax me?"
"What?"
"Resume the college entrance examination?"
"Second brother, why does the eldest brother want to coax you?"
Sun Shaoping was stunned for a moment. In the past six months, his elder brother had not asked much about his studies and life. It seemed that there was no need to coax him, even if the ultimate goal of coaxing him was for his own good.
Lan Xiang said, "Our teacher once said that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared."
Early that morning, Wang Lidong got up. After washing, he fetched water and cleaned the pig pen. Looking at Dahei's figure, it seemed that he was not much plumper than last month.
I reached out and hugged it and weighed it. It was about 180 pounds, which was more than ten pounds heavier than last month. It was time to put it out.
"Shaoan. Shaoan."
Jin Junwu's voice sounded outside the hospital. Wang Lidong put down the big black pig, closed the pigsty, and met Jin Junwu who was sweating profusely, "What happened?"
Jin Junwu pulled him and ran outside, "My two pigs are lying down in their nests, and they can't breathe. Please help."
Wang Lidong said hello to the old man in the house and followed Jin Junwu to his house. After checking the symptoms of the two pigs, he said, "It's pig asthma. It's not serious. Just drink a few doses of medicine and it will be cured."
Jin Junwu asked, "Asthma? Is it the same problem as the party secretary? How did my two pigs get this disease?"
Wang Lidong rolled his eyes, this guy would attack Tian Futang whenever he had a chance.
"It's two different things. Asthma is easily contagious. It may be from other sick pigs, or it may be from eating something that shouldn't be eaten." Wang Lidong took out a pen and paper and wrote a recipe, "Tinglizi, melon"
25 grams each of beetroot, ephedra, and licorice, and 10 grams each of poria. After writing the prescription, he handed it to Jin Junwudao, "Go to the town drugstore to prepare the medicine. Decoction it in water and take it orally. Drink it for three days and it's almost done. I'll come back to see you in three days.
look."
After he finished speaking, he walked to the pigsty and inspected it. It was very clean. He looked at the trough and picked out a piece of earthworm from it. It turned out to be raw and not cooked.
"Junwu, see for yourself."
Jin Junwu took the earthworms, but he still didn't understand the reason why his two pigs were sick. He immediately became furious, cursed at his mouth, picked up a broom, and rushed into the cave dwelling. There was a "crackling" sound, and then the sound of a child's cry.
loud cry
Jin Junwen heard the commotion, walked out of the cave and saw Wang Lidong. He said hello and walked into his brother's house. After asking about the situation, he shook his head. This kid, if two pigs died, would lose two to three hundred yuan and should be beaten.
Wang Lidong watched the play for a while, then pulled Jin Junwen out of the cave, "Brother Junwen, you haven't taken any jobs recently?"
Jin Junwen took two puffs of dry cigarette and said, "There is so much work in the fields, how can I have time to do it? Shaoan, what are you doing?"
Wang Lidong took out a cigarette and handed one over, "I want to hoop a seven-hole cave dwelling. If you are willing to accept it, I won't find anyone else."
Jin Junwen said in surprise, "Seven holes? Shaoan, this can't be built without four thousand yuan."
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "My father-in-law is a little more supportive."
Yesterday, Run Ye suddenly gave him a thousand and a half dollars, saying that it was his father-in-law's support for his cave dwelling, and his only request was that he hoped to start construction as soon as possible. He was sincere to his father-in-law, and it was hard for him to refuse, so he could only accept it with a tearful smile.
.
When you receive money, of course you have to take care of the donor's feelings.
Jin Junwen suddenly realized that although Sun Shaoan had made a lot of money in the past few months, the Sun family was very poor in the past. If they took out four thousand yuan in one breath, there must be something wrong with the source of the money.
It turned out that Tian Futang provided the money.
"Okay, when are you free, let's discuss this matter in detail."
"How was tonight?"
"Okay. I'll go to your house after dinner."
"I'll have dinner at my house tonight, and I'll have a couple of drinks with my dad."
"Okay, that's settled then."
The news that Wang Lidong was going to build a new kiln with seven holes spread throughout Shuangshui Village the next day. Unexpectedly, Tian Futang actually paid for his son-in-law's new kiln, which made all the singles in Shuangshui Village extremely jealous.
It's a pity that party secretary Tian Futang only has a daughter! Otherwise, he would have to marry her even though there are all kinds of difficulties. The future father-in-law is so awesome.
Tian Fujun's home in the county seat
Xu Aiyun put two bowls of oil-splashed noodles on the dining table. Tian Fujun took a bowl of noodles and stirred them twice. "You really don't want to go?"
Today he was going back to Shuangshui Village. Yesterday he received a report from Shuangshui Village on the feed pilot. The data in it shocked him. The feed effect was astonishing. He was a little worried that the information was fake. It happened to be a long time ago.
I haven't been home for a while, so I wanted to see my elder brother.
"The hospital is on duty today and we can't leave. You two can go." After saying this, Xu Aiyun left the room and returned to the living room after a while carrying a bowl of noodles and a plate of pickles.
Tian Xiaoxia said, "Mom, didn't you say you would have a day off yesterday? Why does your hospital always make you work overtime?"
Xu Aiyun ate some noodles and said, "There are so many patients in the hospital recently, and everyone is too busy,"
In fact, she didn't want to go to Shuangshui Village, that lumpy place where there was nothing but loess and a bunch of mud-legged people, and the thought of Tian Runye and Sun Shaoan made her angry.
After Tian Fujun and his daughter finished breakfast, they took a car out of the county town. After driving for more than half an hour, they arrived at Shuangshui Village.
As soon as they got off the bus, the father and daughter were warmly welcomed by the top leaders of Shigejie Commune and all the members of Shuangshui Village.
Sun Yuting said excitedly, "Thank you, Party Secretary, Brother Fujun is back."
Tian Futang had a smile on his face, but he thought that his brother's situation was getting worse and worse. Today, only one director came to the entire Shigejie Commune, and several other deputy directors did not come. In previous years, at least three or four directors and deputy directors came.
director.
well!
Sun Shaoping looked surprised when he saw Tian Xiaoxia get out of the car. Seeing this, Tian Xiaoxia winked at him playfully.
After Tian Fujun shook hands with everyone cordially, he proposed to go to other people's houses in the village to see the situation of the pigs.
Tian Futang led a group of people to visit five households. The results were very gratifying. Most of the pigs weighed more than 100 kilograms.
There was no fraud, which made Tian Fujun very happy. He asked with a smile, "How many pigs are raised in our village now? How many are over 150 pounds?"
Sun Yutinghui reported, "Brother Fujun, there are 296 pigs in Shuangshui Village, 103 of which weigh more than 150 kilograms. The heaviest pig is a large boar from the Fugao family, weighing 198 kilograms."
Tian Fujun looked at Wang Lidong and said, "Shaoan, I remember the last time you and I were at my house, your pig weighed more than 100 kilograms. How much does it weigh now?"
Wang Lidong said, "Uncle Fujun, I sold that pig last month, it weighed 206 pounds."
"Why don't you keep it until the end of the year?"
Wang Lidong explained the cost accounting of pig raising.
Tian Fujun said with emotion, "I didn't expect that there is so much knowledge involved in raising pigs. Shaoan, how many pigs are you raising at home now?"
Wang Lidong said, "I raised 6 of them, 2 big and 4 small."
Tian Fujun was surprised and said, "So many? Let's go to your house and have a look."
