The next day.

The weather was fine and sunny.

Under Qin Zheng's supervision, the fourth brother made another phone call to the teacher in the provincial capital.

Regarding Lao Si's academic issues, Lao Si's tutor said that he happened to need an assistant recently and had gotten used to Lao Si's work, so he asked Lao Si to go back to the provincial capital to help him first, and that he, as the teacher, would arrange for Lao Si to continue his studies.

The fourth brother asked Qin Zheng for his opinion.

Qin Zheng immediately gave him a sharp rap on the head. "You good-for-nothing, do you even need to ask?"

Of course I'll go.

Is there anyone more suitable than a university professor personally arranging your academic path?

After being beaten, the fourth child immediately gave the teacher a satisfactory answer, looking pitiful, and asked when it would be appropriate to go back.

"Let's do it tomorrow."

"ah?"

The fourth student was dumbfounded, not expecting the teacher to be in such a hurry for him to go back.

The teacher, whose voice was steady as a rock, said: "Zhao, you know I need an assistant. Of all my students, you are the one I think is the best. They are researching a new type of rice in Sichuan. You'll be there tomorrow, and I'll take you with me."

"..."

The fourth student was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Teacher, there's something I'm not sure if I should say?"

"put."

"Teacher, I still want to raise pigs."

"..."

There was a full three seconds of silence on the other end, then suddenly a refined old man's cursing, without a single swear word, erupted—

"How dare you, you brat!"

Raising pigs, raising pigs, are we just raising our ancestors?

Do you even need to raise pigs?

Don't you know which of your breeding and planting techniques is better or more suitable for you?

You really are like a spring breeze blowing through the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, getting all smug with just a little sunshine!

Zhao Jiadong! I'm telling you very seriously, if you remain obsessed with pig farming, then don't consider me your teacher!

"Oh, by the way, I hope to see you at the school gate tomorrow, Pig."

*Click*, the phone was hung up.

The fourth brother was so frightened by the barrage of insults that he trembled all over. He put down the landline receiver with a resentful look on his face. Why did he have to curse at me when I was just talking?

Beside him, Qin Zheng's shoulders trembled as he tried to suppress his laughter.

The next day, Qin Zheng put the fourth brother on the only bus in the mountains every day early in the morning. He first took the bus to the county town, and then took a bus from the county town to the provincial capital.

Ye Yun originally planned to go back with Lao Si, but she gave up because she had other things to do.

Another point is that if they all leave home at the same time, the house will suddenly become empty and cold.

Qin Xiang'e and the old lady inevitably felt heartbroken.

So Ye Yun decided to stay for two more days.

With Tian Xiaohui back in the city, she no longer needs to worry about the pastry shop, and with Secretary Liu and Chen Zhenxing at the garment factory, she can steal a moment of leisure to enjoy her time in the mountains.

Qin Zheng also said he didn't care.

Gu Jin made several phone calls to the village committee every day, urging Qin Zheng to go back.

Gu Jin said he had been feeling very sad lately at the company. Lao Gao had a piece of land that was requisitioned to build a school, which not only gave him a large sum of money but also enriched the land he had hoarded in the surrounding area.

Lao Gao suddenly became rich.

Then, Lao Gao, who had made a lot of money, acted like a crazy nouveau riche, dragging him to dance halls to drink and dance disco every day. When he got drunk, he would hug him and cry and scream, which scared him so much that now he feels weak in the knees and breaks out in a cold sweat every time he hears Lao Gao's voice.

Every day, just before the end of the workday, Lao Gao would push open his office door and say, "Xiao Gu? Let's go? Have some fun!"

Happy my ass.

He was not happy at all.

Gu Jin's tone was still full of resentment when he spoke of these things, and his resentment doubled after hearing Qin Zheng laugh at him, to the point that he gritted his teeth:

"Qin Zheng, don't gloat. Old Gao said he wants to celebrate with you when you come back!"

"Just you wait,"

"You haven't seen Lao Gao when he's drunk. He cries as soon as he gets drunk, and when he cries, he hugs me and calls me Dad, asking me why I don't love him and asking me to love him too."

"I think he's a pervert, isn't he?"

"It turned out that he really missed his father who died because he couldn't afford medical treatment."

"I'm so speechless. If this happens twice more, I feel like I'm about to go see his biological father!"
