Before returning to the capital, Qingyuan’s college entrance examination results came out.
I got a perfect score in English and a perfect score in math. Surprisingly, there was no deduction for Chinese, so I got a perfect score. Overall, I got a full score, but six points were deducted, but this was an absolute advantage, and I got the top score in liberal arts.
With this score, you don’t have to wait for the school’s admission notice. You will basically be admitted to any school you apply to.
He applied for the economics major at University B.
What a happy event!
The second brother and Yingzi went back to their hometown to hold a wedding banquet.
This is not unique to the Jin family. There are people in the village who work in other places. If there is a happy event at home, whether it is a wedding or a funeral or their children taking exams, they have to come back to say something.
Otherwise, if the people in the village find out later, they will say that Jin Laosi and Tong are not particular people.
If you don't tell everyone about your happy event, you don't want to interact with everyone?!
Lin Yutong and the fourth master were not worried about this. The main reason was that the fourth master felt that the children should be sent back to offer a stick of incense to their ancestors, while Lin Yutong felt that it was inappropriate to hold a wedding banquet for Qingning at home and not to hold one for Qingyuan.
As soon as the second brother and Yingzi talked about it, the fourth master and Lin Yutong didn't object. If they wanted to do it, they would do it.
But the premise is that no gifts are accepted, but everyone is invited to eat and drink, and everyone has a fun time together.
Later, he told Qingyuan not to accept other people’s things at the wedding banquet. Those belonging to relatives at home were another matter, but people from the same village, colleagues, friends, and subordinates were not allowed to accept anything.
The Jin family has another college student, one from B University, and he got the first prize in the exam.
Ouch!
It is said that the ancestral tombs of the Jin family have good feng shui, which is particularly beneficial to future generations.
Others said that the old man of the Jin family who had been crazy for half his life had the insight to find such a good place for himself. It was even more popular that the location of this mausoleum was specially used for Feng Shui when the Jin family was particularly rich.
Mr. showed it to me.
Even the story of the old man being buried with a piece of tattered mat has been given the color of legend. It is said that it was done deliberately, just to nourish this treasure land with flesh and blood.
Those who didn’t believe it said, “Then why would it be detrimental to Mr. Jin’s family?”
The man immediately said: "I am not filial and disrespectful to my ancestors..."
No matter how you say it, it makes sense.
However, for such a big happy event, all the five Lao families came, but no one from Jin Lao's family came. Not only Jin Mancheng's Li Xian'er, but also Qingshou and Yang Meili didn't come.
Yingzi told Lin Yutong: "You and the fourth child didn't come back for the wedding on the sixth day of the lunar month. So you can't do it on purpose this time."
If you don't come, don't come.
You need me to support you, but I don’t need you to support me.
Liandong said to Yingzi in the kitchen: "Your sister-in-law is the worst thing. She is a typical memorizer."
If you don't follow your heart at all, you will feel uncomfortable. All the good things you did before will be forgotten.
Then he sniffed and said to Liu Yan'er: "Just like my Yan'er, she calls her every now and then and sends her one or two hundred yuan. She just says she's very busy at school and won't come back. She never comes back when I call her dormitory.
If you don’t answer... If she can get her back, where can I find her... What an ungrateful thing... I even said I would look for your Qingping..."
Yingzi had heard about Yan'er a long time ago, but she couldn't tell her parents. She only said: "Qingping doesn't live in the dormitory anymore. Her fourth uncle and aunt are busy, and they can't even attend to the senior high school in Qingyuan. The meeting lasted until midnight.
Yes, Qingning is also busy. Qingping has been living with Laosi and Tongna. He is accompanying Qingyuan. In addition to classes, he does not go to the dormitory. The university is not as good as our primary school and middle school... I heard that a college is not far away from a college.
It’s far away, right? I haven’t been there, but you have been there, is that what the kid said? I don’t even believe it!”
Then Ling Dong's attention was diverted, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yeah! That's great..." Bah bah bah, the women who were helping with her began to brag about what she saw and heard outside.
Just one trip to the capital had already blown honeysuckle for two years. Every time anyone brought up this topic, she always got excited.
Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief and heard Lonicera laughing and asking: "You all can't guess how I found my Yan'er school..."
Everyone knows this, she has said it eighty times if not a hundred times.
But everyone cooperated and asked: "How did you get it?"
"Call 110 and go in a police car!" Yingzi silently gave the answer in her heart.
Sure enough, Liandong whetted his appetite and said with a proud smile: "Call 110 and take a police car."
Inside, everyone was talking and laughing.
Yingzi waved his hand to Qingping, who was walking over, and told him not to come. He would be caught by Lonicera and would be troubled again.
Qingping is really afraid of honeysuckle now, and she really doesn't know what's going on with Liu Yan'er. The capital is so big, where can she find it? She can find out from Lakshen, but every time Lakshen sees her, she owes him
He only had eight hundred yuan, so why was she rushing to talk to him?
So I decided to go out.
There were running-water mats in the alley, and the streets outside were filled with people who came to congratulate them. Today, a total of three restaurants were invited to prepare the banquet. Each restaurant was responsible for 60 seats, and additional seats were added from time to time.
Things in Qingyuan were more tactful. I gave him a red envelope, and he immediately poured a glass of wine over it: "Uncle, I'm glad you came to have a wedding. Please help me save the red envelope. When my nephew gets married, you can give him a big one."
Then everyone toasted: "... from time to time, my nephew won't accept it. What's the relationship between us? Even if he accepts it, he won't be afraid of people saying that my father and mother took bribes in disguise. We are a family, and we will keep it for my nephew until we get married.
It's time to give it to both parties, and I asked my wife to keep it, otherwise the money you gave me now will definitely be taken away by my mother, and she will use the money to save it for me or to subsidize my sister in disguise. It's hard to say."
The crowd in the circle burst into laughter.
If you say you don't accept the gift, you really don't receive the gift.
Except for the money given by people in the family, such as the second uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle, brother-in-law, and the uncles of the Lin family and Guo family, none of the money from other families was confiscated.
But before returning to the capital, there were a few close people who came to see me off in a few places.
For example, Zhou Wen, Zhao Mei, who is now the deputy district chief of Qin City, and gifts and red envelopes from people like Yang Dong’s father, Director Yang, etc., with the nods of Lin Yutong and Fourth Master, Qingyuan all
Received.
The relationship between these people and their own families is completely different.
After all, these people work below, and many people think that the people behind them are their fathers and mothers.
If you don't accept it, it will make people feel a little confused.
But they are all very impressive. The gifts are either the latest mobile phones, newly released laptops, and things like Parker pens. There is no direct payment.
After arriving in the capital, when the notice comes out, you have to do it all over again.
Members of the Qiao family, the Shi family, and the Jiang family always sit together to have a meal.
Then Qingyuan accepted the gifts more calmly.
In fact, the main source of cash comes from brothers and sisters at home.
The eldest sister is now getting paid a lot, often publishing some articles in some magazines, and seems to have started writing online articles. In short, she belongs to the type of person who has an income. So she directly gave herself 10,000 yuan to fund her relationship, saying
It’s money to treat your girlfriend to a movie and a restaurant.
As for my sister, there is no comparison. She gave me a small sports car and a bank card worth 100,000 yuan.
Her company has made huge profits in the past two years, and a sports car is nothing.
The two brothers-in-law are more honest, and each received a big red envelope of 50,000 yuan. They are both wealthy owners. They are not short of this little money.
Qinghui gave another ten thousand and said: "Let me know if you are short of money."
We are not short of money, but it is enough to have this sentence.
Qingfeng and Huahua even took the time to come over and gave them a thousand yuan. Qingfeng looked a little embarrassed and said, "It's not much money, so don't dislike it."
In fact, in rural areas, giving one thousand yuan is a big gift.
Both of them earn money through hard work. It is really not easy to get one thousand.
Qingyuan said: "This is quite a lot. It covers the food expenses for the first half of the semester."
Such a comparison does sound like a lot.
Qingfeng and Huahua's faces became more natural, and their whole bodies felt relaxed.
Lin Yutong told Fourth Master: "Qingyuan's temperament is more tactful compared to Qingning's."
He speaks human language when seeing people, and speaks nonsense when seeing ghosts. However, he can get along with both humans and ghosts.
The second child called the fourth master to praise Qingyuan: "...This kid is good. Listen to what the people in our village say about him. They say this kid is alive and smart..."
The meaning of Huodao generally means that you are very kind to people and very good at getting things done.
It’s closer to the expression ‘affiliate’.
The second child praised Qingyuan, and then said to Qing'an: "He has a bad temper, is dull, and won't get into trouble. Your second sister and I are not rigid people, so why does this child have such a temper?"
Qing'an belongs to the category of people who don't like to talk and are relatively reserved.
Lin Yutong said: "Who can he look like? A nephew looks like an uncle, a bit like having a son."
He has a very good-natured temperament, not so frivolous, has no twists and turns in his stomach, and doesn't like to talk.
This cannot be said to have a bad temper, it can only be said that such a person makes people look at him and makes him think that he will definitely not get along with him.
But to say that this kid is stupid or something else is not necessarily true.
When he went back this time, Qing'an went to see Fourth Master and said, "Fourth Uncle, I might have a hard time taking the second exam next year."
The fourth master didn't understand what the boy meant, so he asked, "Are you afraid that your parents won't ask you to take tutoring classes?"
"No," he murmured, "What do you think, I just go to the branch of the Agricultural University in our county?"
Fourth Master raised his eyebrows and understood immediately.
The dean here is Zhou Yang, who is Tongtong’s senior brother. They have become very close over the years. The daughter of Zhou Yang’s family has graduated from graduate school, studied foreign languages, and now works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Tongtong must have taken care of her.
.
As for the old man’s status in the Agricultural University, no one can shake it in recent years.
When it comes to university admissions, there is a process called make-up admission. If you are not admitted the first time, your scores will be lowered appropriately when you make up the admissions for the second time. Every year, there are some lucky people whose original scores are three or two points below the second-tier line.
.But as long as you fill out the application form well, you can usually be admitted.
As for university admissions, the score lines will be appropriately relaxed for local students.
Therefore, he said that he would apply for the Agricultural University, and also apply for the major in the branch. It was just in case.
If the score is in doubt, it is very possible that he will be admitted to the branch of the Agricultural University.
Fourth Master patted him and dismissed him, "I know, study hard, take the exam well, and don't have such evil thoughts."
To say that such a child is a dull child is simply not possible.
Being inactive on your lips does not mean you have no ideas in your heart.
The fourth master just talks about the second child, and there is no need to always discipline the child in front of others. Although he has to discipline the child in front of others, these children nowadays have to be ashamed. They are very particular about face.
For example, in Qingyuan, when I returned to my hometown and missed the class appreciation banquet, I felt quite embarrassed in front of my classmates.
What should Fourth Master and Lin Yutong do?
Bring your things with you, visit the teachers of each subject in person, and thank them in a serious manner.
Qingyuan didn't say anything, but looking at his little expression, he couldn't tell how satisfied he was.
After all, he was still a child, so when school started, he still went to see his parents off.
Today's university dormitories are basically newly built in the past two years. They are much better than when Qingning first entered university.
There is a dormitory for four people, a TV, TV and telephone network cables, and they are all provided. There is a shower room in the bathroom, which is a good environment. You must live on campus in your freshman year, especially these boys, who are more comfortable out of the house, so they are not happy
Going back.
Then Fourth Master and Lin Yutong suddenly felt that their home was empty.
real!
In the past, even if I came home late, the lights would always be on at home. It felt really good to have someone waiting for me at home.
Now, the two of them can worry about their own business, but it will take some time to get used to the empty-nest feeling it brings.
Qingping didn't want to go back there easily, but living back in the dormitory was actually a bit uncomfortable.
No matter what you say, I have to admit that it is still comfortable to live at home.
She is a senior this year and will graduate next year. The professional courses have been completed, and all that is left is internship or preparation for the postgraduate entrance examination. She really has no preparation for the postgraduate entrance examination. To be honest, she is really tired from studying. Her major is interested in
It's not about archeology at all. She's just interested in things like literature and history.
As for employment, in fact, if students from ethnic minority groups don’t want to stay in big cities, they can usually get admitted as civil servants when they return to their hometowns. It’s not difficult for her to find a job. The teacher talked to her specifically and asked her about it.
Intention. If you have the intention to work in a museum, he can make a recommendation.
However, Qingping still refused.
I just sit on my computer and watch TV shows all day long.
For example, the most popular Korean drama is Blue Life and Death Love. Then she must have cried completely.
When Xu Qiang took her home at the weekend, he said, "Is it okay if we don't watch it? We know that if we watch it, we will cry like this, but we still watch it?"
What do you know?
People are so popular, so of course they have their reasons.
Qingping said: "Nowadays, everything is marketized, and the cultural market is the same. Look at the Korean drama I am following now. I have watched it again and again... more than two hundred episodes. If domestic TV dramas had so many episodes, there would be no more.
People have watched it. But why did we watch it because it was filmed by others... Actually, does the TV series have any depth? No! Is there any twists and turns in the plot? No! It's just a matter of family life. But why are so many people watching it?
Are you willing to see it? This requires us to think more deeply."
Just like the previous Messenger of God, the film was made into a movie and won a nomination award at some film festival abroad, but no one had even heard of it in China.
Why?
Still, what I want to express is not close to the people.
Xu Qiang nodded, okay! What you said makes sense.
Others regard watching TV as a pastime, but she regards watching TV as a learning process.
He didn't know much about writing, so he changed the subject and asked her: "After graduation, how about we get married?"
Qingping was stunned for a moment: "What?"
"Get married!" Xu Qiang said while driving: "When you graduate, you will be old enough to get married."
Qingping turned his face towards the window and let out a 'hmm' sound from his nose.
Is this agreed or not?
The car was parked downstairs in the community. This house was a small apartment that I originally bought. I haven't lived in it since it was renovated. Qingping couldn't live there, so he had to settle here temporarily.
When Qingping was about to get off the car, Xu Qiang grabbed him and said, "You don't want me to get up?"
Qingping looked at him sideways: "I'm a little angry now, so just let it go."
Xu Qiang looked at her expression and saw that she seemed serious, so he quickly let go: "..." What did I do wrong again?
"I want to go!" Qingping got out of the car, closed the door and went upstairs.
Xu Qiang was downstairs, and when the lights above came on, Qingping deliberately opened and closed the window, and then closed the curtains, he felt relieved.
She couldn't help but smile in her heart. Even if she was angry, she was still so considerate and willing to think about him. Knowing that she would definitely be worried down there, she deliberately let herself see her before closing the curtain.
I wasn't in a hurry to leave, but the phone rang. It was Han Chao calling, asking me to come over.
Then he called Qingping: "...Then I won't reflect downstairs. I have to go out. Han Chao will look for..."
Qingping stood on the balcony, opened the curtains and looked down. He saw the car lights flickering three times, and then he said: "Be careful on the road."
The reason why Han Chao approached Xu Qiang was: "I don't want to do it anymore."
Xu Qiang has now opened many driving schools. The initial model was to enclose land. Just from the land in a good location, the profit is not a small amount. He has recently started a logistics company, and the stall is getting bigger and bigger.
Of course, if you keep following this, it will definitely be the same.
But how can I put it, if you work for others all your life, you will do it for others.
Han Chao said: "I want to go out for a run..."
What are you running for?
After Han Chao explained in detail, Xu Qiang realized that this guy had gone out to the agricultural vehicle market.
For example, if he goes to Taiping Town, he can contact the local people, such as Jin Laoer, and put the car at his place, and then he will buy it on his behalf. He will give him a minimum price for a car, and any extra sold will be his.
And the market in this rural area is indeed huge.
Like agricultural tricycles, actually every household needs them.
Not to mention traveling too much, if you can capture half of a county's market, your income that year is indeed much better than working at a driving school.
Now, he is equivalent to winning the dealership right for a newly launched agricultural vehicle.
Xu Qiang raised his thumb and said: "You have a bright future, brother, there is no reason to stop you. If you have any difficulties, just ask. Whether it is a formality matter or a lack of funds, just a phone call, and if you are not in place, you are not considered a friend."
."
Han Chao picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Xu Qiang, drained the beer in the glass and then said: "I don't want to be penned in the capital anymore. Gao Jie is right not to follow me. He is a wolf to begin with, and he has to be penned as a sheep in a third of an acre of land.
..." After saying that, he smiled bitterly, and before leaving, he took Xu Qiang and told him: "If she comes here...if she comes here...she encounters any difficulties...for example, she is short of money...you give it to her, and after that...
I'll give it to you... No matter what, I owe her... I'm a man, it doesn't matter. She is the one who suffers..."
Xu Qiang nodded in agreement and went to stop the car, "Let's take a taxi..."
Han Chao laughed: "I have never seen someone so afraid of his wife. He said he would not drive after drinking, but he really refused to drive. How much did you drink?"
Xu Qiang hurriedly said: "Let's go! I'm angry right now. I'll pay you back when I find out later."
Han Chao was gossiping: "Are you making people angry? Come and tell me... tell me..." Call me Le Yile.
Xu Qiang didn't have the intention to share his personal affairs with his brothers, so he stopped the car, pushed the person in and pulled him down.
But this is annoying people. At least they need to know what the problem is.
Then she went back and did nothing else but watch TV series. She often watches these, so she must have been affected in some way.
I smoked the sky for three days and fast forwarded to see, what is the deep rain?
but!
There is not even a proposal process!
What does it take to propose marriage?
Rose? Diamond ring?
It's a bit pretentious, but she likes sleeping.
He called Qingping: "I'll take you somewhere on the weekend."
Qingping was looking through Qingyuan's text messages, and Qingyuan asked her if she would go home this week.
Fourth Master and Lin Yutong had a meeting and were not at home. Qingning went to Jiuquan and won't be back until next month. He hired a cleaner to clean it, but someone at home had to watch. He made an appointment with his classmates to go to the Computer City together.
So he wanted to ask his eldest sister to come over and clean the house while keeping an eye on people. It was originally a job assigned to him by his mother.
Then when Qingping saw that something was going on, he told Xu Qiang: "I don't have time, something is going on in Qingyuan."
Immediately after Qingyuan, he received a call from his eldest brother-in-law: "Do your classmates need computers? Are the configuration requirements high?"
It’s not high. It’s mainly for writing papers and generally for surfing the Internet.
When he said this, Xu Qiang said: "I have a 70% new second-hand computer here, do you want it?"
He took the time to manage the Internet cafe in Qingning. Nowadays, there are more people surfing the Internet in the Internet cafe, and there are even more people playing games in groups. The requirements for computers are different. I am planning to replace the computer.
I was wondering what to do with a batch of second-hand desktop computers, so I simply gave them to Qingyuan and asked him to dispose of them.
Qingyuan didn't know about this, so of course he was happy when he heard this: "Okay, brother-in-law..."
"Then you can come over at four o'clock on Sunday afternoon." Xu Qiang suddenly moved the time very far away.
Qingyuan asked several other people in the dormitory, "Do you want it? If so, let's go there on Sunday."
I originally planned to go out on Saturday, but now I don’t need to.
Nowadays, a computer costs RMB 5,000, which is not a small sum of money. The parents of the families in the dormitory are working-class people, and their daily lives are not that stressful, but it is still a bit distressing to spend a lot of money.
Moreover, it is 70% new and second-hand, so it must be much cheaper.
So they all signaled OK to Qingyuan!
Qingyuan was still thinking that he would be able to go out with his classmates this time, but his eldest brother-in-law said: "Then tell your eldest sister that she won't have to make a trip tomorrow, and you will go home."
Qingyuan: "..." I thought you were for me, only for me!
Being sentimental again.
So I went home early on Saturday morning, and after asking someone to clean my house, I took them back to the previous community. No one lived there, so it was time to clean.
I told them the location and asked the cleaning lady to take the subway there. He drove away first.
After parking the car and reaching the downstairs of his house, his steps stopped.
There was a girl standing downstairs, she looked familiar.
When the person turned around, Wei Yiyi narrowed his eyes slightly.
He hasn't seen her since the high school entrance examination. I heard she went to the High School Affiliated to the Normal University. Who knows.
Anyway, we haven’t seen each other for three years.
He pretended not to recognize him and passed by her. Only then did she say: "You... you wait a moment..."
"Huh?" Qingyuan stopped and looked at her.
"I've been waiting here for you since I finished the college entrance examination, and I've been here every day during the summer vacation." She lowered her head, "Now that school has started, I...I can only come here on weekends...just to wait for you..."
Qingyuan's expression was slightly moved and softened: "Do you have a problem with me?"
She raised her head: "I want to explain it to you."
"It's not necessary, I'm not yours." I don't know why, but this sentence almost came out of my mouth.
Then the cuffs were pulled, "I...I think you are...I think you are who I am..."
Is this being confessed?
An indescribable smile appeared on Qingyuan's face, "Then tell me, who am I to you? I can't even figure out who you are... Who am I to you! Who can I be to you?"
"That's why I'm here to tell you who I am." The girl lowered her head, "I am Wei Yiyi, that... that... the one who is prettier than me, the one who is more lovable than me, is Shuangshuang, is
My sister...we are from the same mother and father..." She spoke very urgently, as if she was afraid that Qingyuan would not give her a chance to explain clearly, "My father and mother divorced when we were very young. I was awarded
My father and my sister were sentenced to my mother. My mother took her sister and remarried. The man you saw on the day of the exam was not my father, but the uncle that my mother later married... When I was in the second grade of junior high school, my father had a car accident.
He passed away... My grandparents were old, and my aunt's family had a heavy burden, so my mother took me over... My uncle... was my stepfather. People in his family were quite snobbish, and they just didn't like my mother anyway.
And my sister, my sister is not good at studying... During the high school entrance examination, I passed the key exam, and she passed the ordinary middle school... My sister followed others in the ordinary middle school, and her grades were even worse... Better
Everyone laughed...then my mother thought, my grades were good, so she asked my sister to go to school in my place, and I went to school in my sister's place. Then many people saw how well my sister studied...I helped me
My sister participated in the competition and was finally admitted to a key high school without taking the exam. When I came back to take the high school entrance examination, I took it for myself... I knew that I would definitely take the college entrance examination for my sister, so I had to work extra hard. I helped my sister skip a grade. I was the sophomore helping my sister.
I am taking the college entrance examination. My sister is a sophomore this year and is studying Chinese as a foreign language. I am in the same class as you... I have worked really hard... I am in University B, studying architecture... What about you? Qinghua?
?Didn’t you say that your sister is in Qinghua? I went to Qinghua’s freshman office to check, and there was no such name... Didn’t you choose Qinghua?”
Qingyuan pursed his lips: "I am also studying at B University..."
"Really!" A smile burst out on the girl's face.
"Real or fake..." Qingyuan shook his head, "I'm an old classmate. Let's say hello when we meet..."
Wei Yiyi's hand immediately let go of Qingyuan's sleeve: "I have been trying very hard to stand with you. You are the only person who likes me more than my sister... Do you have someone you like?
"
How should I reply to this?
I may have been tempted before, but it was just that.
Three years have passed. I have changed from a boy to a young man. Too many things have changed.
Qingyuan said: "I missed it...I really missed it..."
Wei Yi's face turned pale: "If I hadn't gone to school for my sister, and if the classmates had always been the two of us, wouldn't it... would it have been different..."
Qingyuan said nothing.
At that time, she was the girl he was willing to take to the bus after school, the girl who would think about bringing a bottle of water for her during gym class, and the girl who would think about bringing a piece of bread during recess.
If she hadn't left, maybe everything would have been different.
Qingyuan said: "You do whatever your mother tells you to do. Don't you have any ideas of your own?"
Wei Yiyi's tears fell all of a sudden: "How do you know I didn't? My sister comes back every day and tells me what she said, played, and did to so and so in the class. When I heard that you two ate
Do you know how uncomfortable I felt when eating an ice cream? In order not to take the exam for my sister, I secretly ate a pound of meat every day for a period of time, including pig's trotters, braised meat and chicken legs, and I ate under the covers at night...
"
Later, my mother found out... She said: "I didn't expect you to be such a selfish child. I shouldn't have taken you out in the first place. You are just like the people on my father's side, you only care about your own selfishness."
stuff..."
How she felt at that time, I don't dare to think about it now.
Later, I ate whatever my mother gave me, a bowl of vegetables and a bowl of porridge every day, and I didn't touch any extra morsels.
My younger sister likes to dance and has been taking dance classes outside. She controls her body shape very well, so she has to control her body shape to be the same as hers.
But can a person who sits there and studies for twelve hours a day compare to someone like my sister who dances for three to two hours at night?
If you want to lose weight, the only way is to go hungry.
These words were on her lips, but she couldn't say them to him now. She didn't want to say them out and begged for his mercy.
She bit her lip and then said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
Then he turned around and ran away.
Qingyuan felt awkward all the time. Watching the cleaning staff cleaning the room, he sat on the sofa and opened his laptop to chat with the shadow of Yuexia: Tell me, what should I do if I meet a girl I was attracted to and confessed to her?
Shadow in the moonlight: Who! Who! Who! Who has fallen in love with the girl? You?
Frog Prince: Yeah.
Shadow in the Moonlight: I thought I was the first girl you fell in love with.
Frog Prince: Speak well.
Shadow in the Moonlight: I mean to talk to you. If you want to see me, maybe you will be tempted. We are in the same city, we will take the college entrance examination together, and we will be admitted to university together...
Frog Prince: No need! Just leave some room for imagination.
Shadow in the Moonlight: Why do you have to leave room for imagination? Tell the truth! You don’t have feelings for me, right?!
Frog Prince: Are you okay! When did you become so narcissistic?!
Shadow in the Moonlight: I'm serious. You said that after not talking to you for a while, you felt something was missing. Is this strange? I thought that I couldn't be so stupid and stupid about online dating...but
What should I do? It seems really tempting!
Frog Prince: If you talk nonsense again, I will take it seriously! If I want to meet you, don’t regret it!
Shadow in the moonlight:………………It’s better to forget it. I’m also afraid of being disillusioned!
Without further chatting, Qingyuan went offline.
Things on the Internet can't be seen in person, and nothing they say is inconsistent with each other.
He didn't take it seriously either.
But the awkwardness of Wei Yiyi's confession was still there. I couldn't explain why, but there was always an inexplicable regret in my heart.
Yes! That’s a pity!
"...I almost made her regret it." Xu Qiang invited Qingping's classmates, friends and roommates to dinner, and said this in front of everyone.
The band invited from the side, the singer's voice floated over, clear and not overpowering. Word by word floated over, "Tonight I came to your window again, your shadow on the curtain is so cute... love quietly
After living with you for so many years, I will leave tomorrow..."
Xu Qiang said: "Just like what is sung in the song, I was standing outside her window back then... Today I just want to ask, don't just shut me out of the window to guard you, I also want to go in and take good care of you.
…”
Then he took out the diamond ring and held it in both hands: "Can I wear it for you?"
There were first whistles in the hall, then applause, and then a louder voice: "Promise him! Promise him!"
Qingping's mind was filled with the youthful love of the past. He sent her back, and then stood outside very late before leaving. Was he also thinking about calling himself out quietly at that time... And in those years, the wind and rain
The unimpeded phone call came on time... Every bit of the past was in her mind... She looked into his eyes, and she was sure that he also remembered them.
Then she stupidly stretched out her hand, put the ring on her hand, held the rose in her arms, drank the red wine in her mouth, and could no longer feel the bitter taste.
I don’t know how I got home.
All I know is that throughout the night, my whole body was like a boat swaying in the sea, ups and downs, with pain mixed with joy.
When I woke up in the morning, I heard the sound of drizzle outside the window, rustling on the leaves.
My body hurt. When I turned over, I felt my arms and thighs resting on my body.
It took her a full two minutes to determine what happened. She pushed the person whose eyelashes were still trembling slightly and said, "Rogue!"
Xu Qiang suddenly opened his eyes: "Last night... was it good?"
shameless!
Qingping always felt that the two had an extremely close relationship before, but until now, he still found that it was actually different.
For example, now, he is wandering around the house wearing only big underpants without feeling embarrassed.
From crush to love to marriage, if every girl is like a flower, are they all waiting for someone who is willing to bloom only for him?
On this day, she sat in front of the computer and typed two words "Bloom".
She wanted to write a love story about an ordinary girl.
Xu Qiang discovered that she had used all the nutrients from these relationships to nourish her career. She had no intention of nourishing him.
When Qingning came back, it was the first snow since the beginning of winter in the capital.
It wasn't big, the wind picked it up and it was flying in the air, and it didn't fall to the ground for a long time.
When I opened the door of my house and went in, melodious dance music was playing, and I could see my mother's skirt flying.
The picture is beautiful. The man is wearing a black shirt with gold thread, and black suit pants that are extremely pressed. The cuffs are rolled up, revealing his thick arms, and his hands are holding his slender waist, as if he is protecting a treasure. The woman
It is a white shirt and a bright red high-waisted skirt. The skirt is very large and makes the waist even more slender.
The two of them were walking in and out of the living room, their skirts flying, and Qing Ning felt like she was just an outsider with no eyes.
She clicked her tongue: "I came back... it seems it's not the right time..."
bad boy!
"Aren't you happy that your dad and I are exercising?" Lin Yutong rubbed his waist, "It's because we don't move enough." The old waist can't stand it anymore.
The fourth master waved his daughter over: "How are you busy?"
"I have to go to Jiuquan next March." Qingning's eyes were bright, "We have taken another step forward."
There is nothing more beautiful than a child's smiling face. Lin Yutong said: "Whatever you want to eat, mom will make it for you."
When the children came back, the house suddenly became full. There were footsteps, laughter, and people running up and down the stairs. The house became a little lively.
Qingning called Qingyuan to come back for dinner: "...If you don't come back, I will eat all the delicious food..."
However, if they don't come back, she still has to deliver food to them. While loading the food, she said: "So, in our hometown, we all think that if we don't have a son, we are inferior to others. But is this son really better than my daughter?"
While we were talking, the phone rang. It was the secretary calling Fourth Master. It must be something urgent.
The mother and daughter didn't care. They went out to deliver food to Qingyuan and took a look at the Weiming Lake in the snow.
When I came back from playing for half the night, I saw the fourth master packing his luggage.
"Going on a business trip?" Lin Yutong asked quickly.
The fourth master's hand paused, "Otherwise, you come back with me..." After that, he made a phone call. He didn't know who he was calling, but he just heard him say: "...she has great respect for Tongli City.
She is familiar with the construction of the development zone and has put a lot of effort into it...she has a very good mass base..."
After saying this, Lin Yutong knew that something must have happened in his hometown.
Without daring to delay, the two packed up their luggage and rushed to the airport. Along with them was a deputy director of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Only on the way did Lin Yutong realize that something big had happened.
The county seat, which is now Tongli City, is developing rapidly. The scale of the development zone has already merged a surrounding town. However, the development of several other districts in the city cannot stagnate. In fact, it has promoted the entire
The urban economy is still doing well.
Now that the city is expanding, Tianping Town has now been transformed into Taiping District.
A lot of land adjacent to the county seat has been expropriated.
This kind of expropriation will cause trouble if it goes wrong.
As expected, something happened during the forced demolition because the land acquisition funds were not paid. The excavator demolished the courtyard wall but did not push down the house. This could have prevented casualties, but unexpectedly, when they demolished it, the people in the house became anxious.
, I hurriedly ran out. People from this family came out and had a conflict with the demolition crews. All the middle-aged laborers in the village came out to argue. No one paid attention. The stove in this family went out in the winter and they were moving the stove to the backyard.
I was lighting the stove. I heard a noise, but the fire on the stove was on. When the wind blew, it blew onto the woodpile.
Dry firewood is added to the fire, and the wind is boosting it.
Houses in the countryside are all close together, and the stacks of firewood in the backyard are high. When it burned, the firewood shed in the backyard was also ignited, and then it burned to the next door. There was a farm vehicle in the house next door, and several barrels of engine oil were put in it.
, this time is terrible, the fire is unstoppable.
Who among the strong laborers outside is thinking about putting out fires? They should go home and take care of the whole family.
Some people ran out, some thought the fire was okay for the time being, so they ran home to look for money they had saved, some led their own animals, and some rescued their belongings. It was a mess.
No one expected that the fire would be so big, and everyone who could not bear to part with their belongings would be trapped inside.
A fire broke out and twenty-seven people were burned to death in one village.
This is watching your loved ones being burned to death!
You don’t need to imagine how angry the villagers were at that time. The result of their anger was that they used all the tools they could get to attack the demolition personnel regardless of the consequences.
There were twenty-three people in total. Except for the three who ran out cleverly, the remaining twenty, eleven were seriously injured and nine were killed on the spot.
Not only the demolition personnel on the other side were killed and injured, but also the young and strong villagers. Six more died, eight were seriously injured, and 21 were slightly injured.
This is quite a vicious incident.
But the result is not over yet.
The Public Security Bureau intervened, and everyone involved must be brought back for investigation. However, law enforcement was interfered with. In one village, women, children and the elderly surrounded the police car tightly.
People from surrounding villages even came and even went to the municipal government to sit-in and protest.
Everyone knows that there are in-laws in every village, and those who are burned to death may be someone's family members. Besides, this is also a matter of interest to them. Everyone has had their land expropriated. And now who dares to demolish and burn this village?
Do you know if your village will be burned down in the middle of the night?
This nature is quite bad.
The fire was an accident, but now it was deliberately set on fire by the demolishers.
Regardless of whether the rumor spread like this or the villagers in the burned village fabricated it out of self-protection, the rumor has become true. And more people firmly believe that this is what happened. It is these people who have lost their conscience.
If such a big thing happens, it must be reported to the authorities level by level. It cannot be concealed.
In fact, an investigation bureau has been arranged before, but unfortunately, the other party did not cooperate. It rejected the investigators and had no sense of trust at all.
Then the working group reported the situation, and some villagers mentioned the then Magistrate Jin in their talks. At that time, the Fourth Master was recruiting businesses from time to time. If there were businesses, they would have to build factories. Building a factory would involve issues such as land acquisition and so on.
.
It was handled relatively well at that time, and many people remembered it later.
I always compare what I was doing back then with what I am doing now.
The people in the working group are thoughtful and have remembered this detail. As the deputy director of the Organization Department, everyone is still clear about this person's resume. When talking about County Mayor Jin, almost everyone thinks of this person
On the body.
That's why Fourth Master's current task is actually a bit inconsistent with his own job.
Of course, if there is cadre malfeasance, he still has the right to appoint and remove him.
But more importantly, we need to handle things and quell civil unrest.
Then as soon as we landed, Mingguang's phone call came. In his words, he was pleading for some old subordinates. If something like this happens, some leaders must take leadership responsibility.
Mere self-examination is not enough.
The fourth master nodded vigorously, but did not make any statement.
No one knows whether there is anything that needs to be considered here.
This time, Fourth Master stayed at a hotel in the city, while Lin Yutong chose to go home. She did not want to investigate this matter in an official capacity.
After arriving home, Yingzi was helping to clean up. When he saw her coming back, he asked her to rest and asked, "Are you coming back because of Zhang Cun's affairs?"
Lin Yutong nodded: "It's already going crazy."
Yingzi smacked his lips: "It's so pitiful. One family buried three generations in one day. The grandson was fifteen, and the child hurriedly went home to find his schoolbag for fear of being burned. The result didn't come out. When the grandson looked at his grandson,
It’s gone. He had a heart attack on the spot, and he’s gone. The child’s father died, his son died, and I picked up a hoe and fought with people, and then he was seriously injured and hospitalized, and he was gone within two days..."
This means the death toll is still increasing.
Yingzi lamented very much: "Now there is only an old lady and a daughter-in-law in her thirties left in the family." Both women have lost their husbands and children. "The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are on a hunger strike now. They will never give up unless they give an explanation."
…”
Lin Yutong sighed in his heart, this is the difficulty.
The next day, she, Fourth Master and the working team who came this time went to Zhangcun to offer incense to the victims.
After I put on the incense, I was about to find a few representatives. Let's sit down and talk first to see what they mean.
As a result, something happened again.
The large locust tree that was half burned at the entrance of the village was suddenly broken in the middle. It was only broken. Who knew that the tree was hollow, and snakes crawled out from the middle of the tree.
Firefighters were called to come over and clean it up. Several groups and hundreds of tangles were tangled together in large clumps of clothing. They were both large and small, and they were particularly scary to people.
Snakes are supposed to hibernate in winter. The tree burned that day, and the fire seemed to be extinguished outside. But anyone who has burned and collected firewood knows that there is still a lot of wood burning inside. Anyway, the tree has been burning.
Smoke is nothing more than an open flame.
As long as it is burning, it will definitely release heat. When it gets hot, the snake will naturally stop hibernating.
Maybe it was the external force of the snake, maybe the hollow tree trunk was almost burned, and it was broken anyway. So the snake in the big tree hole was discovered.
Then rumors immediately started that someone had offended the gods.
Why do you say that? Other staff may not know, but Fourth Master and Lin Yutong know.
The ancient locust tree in Zhangcun is particularly famous.
How famous is it? The little old lady had heard of it when she first came back to town. She said it was particularly effective. If she asked for medicine, she would spread a piece of white paper on the ground and burn incense sincerely to pray.
, then a thin layer of earthy yellow powder will fall on the white paper, and people can get rid of diseases after drinking it.
When I was in the village, if someone encountered something bad, they would secretly go to this tree to burn incense and worship the gods.
But at that time I didn’t dare to act openly.
No one can say clearly how old this tree is. It was well protected in the past, but it was damaged during the Ten Years of Catastrophe. Coincidentally, there was a rumor at that time that the sacred tree in Zhangcun had a fire in the middle of the night.
Snakes are afraid of trees, fearing that the gods will blame them. But only a few people have seen it. Later, as time went by, it was slowly forgotten.
But what about now?
The trees were destroyed!
Many old people were very excited and refused to touch the snakes.
By the way, how many generations has this snake settled under the tree in our village? No poultry or livestock has ever been lost in the village, and no children have been frightened. They spend the summer enjoying the shade under the tree, but who has seen a snake? There are so many people.
Come and kneel at the sacred tree. Which pilgrim has been disturbed by snakes? They are not harmful at all. Why should they be touched?
Farmers are very particular about this. The snakes in the house are domestic snakes. Just pick them out and never hurt them. In the past, more particular families would burn incense three times and sprinkle salt, rice and water on the roads if there were snakes in the house.
If you lead, the snake will follow this path out of the house. This is called 'invite the snake.'
Some old people still call the snakes in their homes Snake Fairy. Some people also believe that the entrance of the blue dragon is a sign of good fortune and wealth.
Therefore, some elderly people were very excited and determined not to touch these snakes.
The problems that were already complicated are now even more complicated. Dissatisfaction is running high. They believe that the sacred tree is real and that a snake fairy has been blessing it. If they do this now, they will destroy the feng shui and aura of Zhangjiacun.
I was already dissatisfied with the land acquisition payment, but I was even more dissatisfied.
In the end, the snake was not taken away by force. I just tried to get a protective net to prevent the snake from running out and hurting people, and to prevent people from getting close.
Here, there is an old man who uses the relief quilt issued to him by the county to cover the snake. There is no way to make sense.
When she came back, Yingzi asked: "Is there really a snake? No wonder it was so clever back then." She also whispered, "When I proposed to marry your second brother, my grandma went to Zhangcun to secretly beg her, and she said she fell in love with her.
The powder on the white paper looked like the shape of a magpie. When I came back, I said that the marriage would work out and that it would probably be a good marriage."
At that time, it was just for my brother's peace of mind. Now that I think about it, it seems to make sense.
What did Lin Yutong say?
In fact, what she was thinking was: The shape of the fallen powder is that of a magpie? In fact, there is not much difference between a magpie and a crow. Are they both birds? It is not a painting, so how can it be determined that it is a magpie?
Whoever comes to wash up has to go to the meeting.
This matter cannot be delayed. The most important thing is to cut through the mess quickly, otherwise the rumors will become more and more popular and cannot be stopped at all.
Therefore, those involved must be arrested. As for how the law will determine it later, it is a matter for the future. As for the trouble, Fourth Master will find a few representatives to talk about it.
Everything involved in land acquisition, from top to bottom, who was removed, who was investigated, which company was sealed, which person was arrested, etc.
The fourth master said: "...the injured must be treated, the dead must be buried, and the living must continue to live. What do you want to achieve by sitting here protesting? We are dead and have nothing to do. It has happened.
.Should we think more about it and give it to those who are alive..."
Then Lin Yutong went to visit the two families in the village who were not making trouble. It was not that they didn’t want to make trouble, but that they couldn’t make trouble. As for one family, the grandfather brought his eleven-year-old granddaughter. The child’s parents were working in other places, and the child’s grandmother
Unfortunately, the child's parents came back for the funeral and burial, and the old man left again. Lin Yutong regarded this family as a model, and gave him various compensations, including 200,000 yuan.
The situation of another family is similar. An eighty-year-old man died at home. The children and grandchildren buried the man and went about their business. They were all doing small business in the county and had no time to make trouble. This is another twenty-year-old man.
Ten thousand.
Then the contradiction suddenly changed.
Before, I was thinking about killing so and so in revenge, and I wouldn't stop until I kill them.
Now I am thinking about how much compensation I can ask for.
It was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were on a hunger strike. The daughter-in-law also listened to her parents' advice and stopped making trouble. She asked for 500,000 yuan to open her mouth.
Yingzi said that he could figure out this approach: "What should I do if something bad happens to me? Fortunately, I am not forty years old. I can live like a married woman and it is not too late to have a child."
As long as you are willing to ask for money, then this matter will be easy to handle.
If you want money, you won't forget to make trouble when the fish is dead and the net is broken. This is a good thing!
The trouble is over, but things are far from over. This incident is so bad. How many people are going to be killed from top to bottom?
Are there any leaders who are greedy for credit? Are there any bribes taken? Is the partner we are looking for qualified? A series of other issues require the intervention of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
Is the matter between Lin Yutong and Fourth Master over? It’s not over yet!
Even after returning to the capital, these people will still find Fourth Master through various channels if they are not satisfied with the compensation. There are also some who don't mind going all the way to the capital to find someone.
Qingning asked: "Is the sacred tree really that sacred?"
Lin Yutong shook her head. She had never worshiped before. She had only heard about it.
"But most of what you hear is false." She told the child.
But as to why there has always been a legend that there is a snake in that tree, but no one has seen it before, it is unknown.
Qingning said: "I still remember when I was a child, I woke up in the morning and there were traces like that on the road. I asked you what they were, and you said they were snakes that passed there last night. Do you still remember them?"
of course I remember.
The road at that time was a dirt road. When the weather was dry in the summer, the road was full of fine powdery pond soil. Every step you stepped on was covered with dirt. And if you got up early in the morning and the sky was bright, the traces on the road had not yet been removed.
If it is destroyed, you can see the traces of the winding road.
It was indeed left by the snake.
She knew what Qing Ning wanted to ask. Wasn't she just curious that the people in the village didn't even find any traces of snakes?
So who can say clearly?
In short, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong are very busy this winter.
People come to my hometown one after another. Why? It’s all about the expansion of the county seat into the town.
This group of people said: "It's long overdue for expansion, and the compensation for our land and houses must be adequate. For example, the houses on this street can't have the same price as the houses in the deep alleys, right? If they have the same price,
When the house is demolished in the future, should we consider compensating a shop for us?"
The other group of people said another story: "I firmly disagree! We are farmers! Our ancestors have relied on crops to support our families. This land acquisition will give us a large sum of money. But what are we doing with the money?"
We are sitting on nothing, we don’t even have a way to make a living? How about drinking from the northwest wind in the future?”
The third child belongs to the group of people who are in favor of it. He thinks that demolition is a good thing. With a start-up capital, what can't he do?
The second child belongs to the group of people who strongly oppose it. They feel that the demolition will destroy the jobs of their ancestors.
He said: "Although our job is not secure and depends on God, it is still a living. Take Qing'an for example, what if this kid really can't learn? At worst, he can still go back.
Go farm! I also said that this is the industry that is least afraid of unemployment. But if the land is expropriated? Then if our children and grandchildren don’t live up to expectations, they won’t even be able to make a living.”
The people who stirred things up were so panic-stricken that they didn’t know whether they would plant the crops next year or not.
In fact, if we want to acquire land and demolish it now, I'm afraid it won't be possible.
Something just happened here, and the newly appointed leader has not yet arrived. No one will dare to touch this problem unless everything is done after he takes office.
Therefore, Taiping Town is probably still Taiping Town.
The matter of demolition has been waiting for some time.
Everyone came and told Fourth Master what they wanted to say, and when they reflected on the situation, they all said: Don't let those who don't understand anything mess around.
Fourth Master also felt that they should give a clear explanation.
After all, in this agricultural production, the cycles of some crops are different. For example, if you want to acquire land after next year, then everyone will not bother planting or grafting fruit trees, but will honestly plant some wheat and corn, etc., one year
Harvest one crop. If you say you have not had this intention for ten or eight years, everyone will make long-term plans.
Fourth Master originally planned to go to Taiping Town, but the detailed drawings were not submitted. Now someone has proposed extending to Taiping Town. This direction is not wrong, but it is done too eagerly.
It's the New Year, and after dealing with the waves of guests, Lin Yutong always thinks it's time to relax. As a result, his hometown caused trouble again because of the demolition message, and the finger of the trouble pointed directly at the light.
In everyone's eyes, this person was a person who was kind to Fourth Master and Lin Yutong.
