Chapter 500: Lao Jiu, it’s time for you to find a companion for yourself!

Afternoon.

Nanning No.3 Middle School.

The air conditioning in Xiaodong'er's personal dormitory is very cool.

Xiao Dong'er and Tang Yun sat opposite each other and enjoyed today's dinner together.

Today's dinner includes sweet and sour pork, fried corn with minced meat, braised eggplant, and soybean and pork head soup. The portions are enough for the two of them.

Tang Yun sighed, "Squad Leader, if I continue to eat with you like this, I won't be able to eat the food my mom cooks when I get home!"

Xiao Dong'er swallowed the food in her mouth and said with a smile: "It's not that exaggerated, right?"

Tang Yun said, "It's really not an exaggeration. The food your family sent is so exquisite and delicious. Not to mention the food cooked by my mother, you can't even eat such delicious food in a restaurant. The taste is amazing."

Xiao Dong'er smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more and try to finish all the food and soup."

Tang Yun responded and continued to eat happily. She now ate and drank with the monitor every day, and their relationship was getting better and better. When she went home last week, she took out her pocket money that she had hidden for a long time and bought a Subor learning machine as a gift to the monitor.

This was her first time giving a gift to a classmate, and she didn't know what to give, so she chose a learning machine, which was very popular in this era. It could also be called a game console, which could be used for studying or playing games.

Tang Yun didn't know whether the gift was given to the right person or not. Anyway, after the squad leader refused for a while, he finally accepted it.

After giving the gift away, Tang Yun could finally eat for free with a clear conscience.

Soon, the two girls finished up the large portions of food and soup.

Tang Yun burped in an indecent manner, stroking her stomach and wailing, "Squad Leader, I can't take it anymore. I feel like if I continue to eat with you like this, I'll turn into a fat girl sooner or later."

Xiao Dong'er laughed and said, "Don't worry. At our age, we are still growing. We won't get fat no matter how much we eat."

Tang Yun said worriedly, "Class monitor, you are only sixteen, so you must still be growing. But I am already seventeen, and my parents are not tall. I am now as tall as my mother, and I am almost at my limit. I probably won't grow much more."

Xiao Dong'er asked: "How tall are you now?"

"The last time I measured, I was 1.57 meters tall. It would be great if I could be over 1.6 meters tall."

At this point, Tang Yun looked at the monitor who was taller than her and said with envy: "Squad monitor, you are still the best. You should be more than 1.6 meters tall now, right?"

Xiao Dong'er said, "The last time I measured my height, it was 1.61 meters."

Tang Yun gestured with her hand and said with emotion again: "If I could be as tall as you, monitor, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams. Unfortunately, my mom is only 1.57 meters tall, and my dad is only 1.68 meters tall. It's really too difficult for me to exceed 1.6 meters in height!"

Xiao Dong'er comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. Although genetic height is important, acquired growth is also very important. What's more, there is the phenomenon of skipped generations. It should be no problem for you to exceed 1.6 meters in height."

Tang Yun sighed, "Let's hope so. Anyway, if girls in Guangxi can grow to be over 1.6 meters tall, that's the real standard height."

While the two were talking, they had already packed up the food boxes.

Xiao Dong'er took the lunch box to the school gate and gave it to the security personnel waiting there. When she came back, she said to her deskmate who she got along very well with, "Tang Yun, go back to the dormitory, pack your things, and move in with me!"

"Squad leader, is this... is this really okay?"

Tang Yun became excited instantly when she heard that. The living environment of their class dormitory was really far different from that of the class monitor's dormitory. Especially now that the weather in Guangxi was still very hot, there was not even a fan in the class dormitory. With so many people crowded in one dormitory, it was really unbearable to be hot.

Even the girls wanted to learn from the boys and sleep in just a pair of underwear! The monitor's dormitory had air conditioning, so it was really too comfortable to live here. It was impossible for Tang Yun to not want to move in, but she could only think about it in her mind and would never say it. She still had some sense of propriety.

But now, the squad leader personally invited her to live here, so things are different.

Xiao Dong'er nodded and said, "Move in. You are more compatible with my temper. It would be nice for you to come and keep me company."

Tang Yun said excitedly, "Thank you, squad leader. I won't be polite then!"

Xiao Dong'er smiled and said, "Let's go back to the dormitory and pack our luggage!"

Tang Yun responded, and then walked towards the dormitory excitedly. As she walked, she was thinking that she would tell her parents about this next time she went home and ask them to help her think of another gift for the class monitor.

She followed the squad leader and got free food and lodging, which was really a great bargain. If she didn't give him a gift, she wouldn't feel at ease living there.

…

Naye Village.

Deng Shirong was drinking with his eldest brother. Although the two brothers lived separately, they still ate together.

Although Deng Shize is in poor health, it is okay for him to drink a little glutinous rice wine with every meal. Drinking a small amount of this locally brewed glutinous rice wine is good for the body.

Deng Shize picked up a peanut and chewed it while saying, "Old Nine, my sister-in-law has been gone for so many years. Now the children have all started their own families and careers. Isn't it time for you to make some plans for yourself? I think my sister-in-law would understand even if she knew about this."

Deng Shirong naturally understood what his elder brother meant. He sighed and said, "Over the years, I have thought about waiting until my children have started families before considering this issue. Now that my other children have started families and Xiaoheng has a girl he likes, as long as he can get this girl, they will probably get married next year. The time is right.

But here comes the problem. If I were to find someone of similar age now, I would definitely look down on him/her.

But now my granddaughter is already in high school. If I still find a younger one, it would seem a bit disrespectful to the elderly.

So, I was actually quite hesitant about whether or not to look for one. "

Deng Shize said: "My suggestion is to find one. When people get older, they need someone to take care of them. This cannot be replaced by sons, daughters and daughters-in-law. As for the idea of ​​disrespecting the elderly, that's all bullshit. If you can marry a young girl when you are older, that's what it means to be capable.

If she is incompetent, how could a young girl like her marry an old man?"

"I don't really care about this kind of reputation, but I'm mainly worried about the impact on my children."

Deng Shirong said: "After all, they are all well-known figures outside. For example, Yuntai is already a big boss with a net worth of billions, and Yunheng is a high-ranking official at the department level. The other children also have their own identities. If they find a stepmother younger than them, they will definitely be affected.

It would be bad if this gets out!"

Deng Shize said: "If you find a young girl and have children with her, the impact will definitely be bad, but if you find a girl who agrees not to have children, the result may be different."

Deng Shirong pondered and said, "Let's talk about this after Xiaoheng gets married. We've been through this for so many years, so one or two years won't make a difference."

Deng Shize sighed and said, "I hope I can still see that day!"

Deng Shirong picked up the wine and said, "Brother, don't say these discouraging words. As the saying goes, man can conquer nature. Just like Chiang Kai-shek's wife, she suffered from cancer twice and had several operations, but she is now a hundred years old and is still alive and well, isn't she?"

Deng Shize raised his glass and clinked it with his brother, saying with a smile, "That's true. Anyway, I earn more every day I live. Compared to my comrades who fought side by side with me back then, I am really lucky."

"Don't talk about these unhappy things, drink."

"Well, drink!"

…

morning.

Villa complex.

After eating the white porridge, Guai Maqi sat by the river, watching the fish swimming in the clear water. The fish were big and small, some weighed seven or eight kilograms, and some were only as big as chopsticks, which was a pleasing sight.

These fish were raised by the Ninth Ancestor. If anyone in the clan wants to eat them, they can use a fishing rod to catch them, but they cannot catch them with a net.

Guai Maqi stared at the fish for several minutes before he sighed softly.

Ever since he became addicted to drugs and had his legs broken by the Ninth Ancestor himself in front of the entire clan two years ago, Guai Maqi's life in the clan has become difficult.

Now the family is thriving, and almost every household is well-off. Everyone lives a comfortable life. Who would want to associate with a drug addict like him? Even his childhood friends, who used to be good friends with him, are a little bit away from him.

After all, after realizing the harm of drugs, few people are willing to associate with an addict.

Over the past two years, Guai Maqi has been trying to quit drugs.

He hasn't taken drugs for more than two years, but this is not called successful drug rehabilitation. There is no such thing as successful drug rehabilitation because once you are addicted to drugs, it will be with you for life. You can't quit it, not even in your entire life.

It’s just that some people have stronger willpower and can suppress their addiction and not take drugs.

There was once an addict who had quit drugs for decades and was promoted as a model of drug rehabilitation. But when he was dying, his descendants asked him if he had any wishes, and he blurted out: "I want to take one more puff..."

I’m afraid many people have no idea how difficult it is to quit drugs. In fact, if you just make a simple comparison, I think everyone will understand.

Take the sexual relations between men and women as an example. I think anyone who has experienced it knows how comfortable it is.

In this world, I wonder how many people are willing to risk their lives for such a thing between men and women. How many people in this world can bear it?

In this case, how can you tell me that this drug can be cured? Just like those who have experienced human affairs, if you throw people directly into the military camp or other places where they cannot come into contact with the opposite sex, then they will naturally be able to resist doing that.

But when you come back to society and interact with all kinds of opposite sex, can you still resist the urge? Even if you have been holding back for two or three years and accidentally see a pornographic movie or a white spot on the beach, can you still resist the urge?

By the same token, if addicts do not have access to drugs, they can suppress their addiction, but once drugs are placed in front of them, except for a very small number of people with iron wills, normal people will be unable to resist taking them again.

Guai Maqi was considered lucky. His legs were broken by Jiuzu in front of the whole clan. The four friends who poisoned him also had their legs broken by his father. This incident caused an uproar in Shuangwang and the surrounding towns.

From that moment on, drug addicts in Shuangwang and surrounding towns all understood one thing, that is, they must never take drugs with the people from the Naye Deng family, otherwise they would end up like Ajie Shiba and the other four, not only would their legs be broken, they would also be thrown into a drug rehabilitation center for forced detoxification, and their lives would be extremely miserable.

Although many drug addicts are not afraid of death when they are addicted to drugs, when their minds are normal, no one dares to provoke the people of the Ye Deng family.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Therefore, in the more than two years that Guai Maqi has been quitting drugs, he has not been able to find any drug addicts.

Now he has managed to suppress his drug addiction. As long as he doesn't have access to drugs, he will have no chance of relapsing.

The drug addiction was temporarily suppressed, but Guai Maqi could not find any friends in the tribe who were willing to play with him. The feeling of being excluded made him feel very uncomfortable, but it was all his own fault and he could not blame others.

On the second floor, Deng Changshou and his wife Liu Ying looked at their eldest son sitting alone by the river, and they both felt unhappy.

Liu Ying said with a sad face, "What can we do? With Ah Qi's incident, the marriage of the three siblings has been seriously affected. I had asked a matchmaker to find a partner for Ah Qi, but when they heard that our Ah Qi had taken drugs, they directly refused. There was no room for maneuver."

Deng Changshou sighed, "It's normal for people to refuse. Who would want to marry their daughter to a drug addict?"

Liu Ying frowned and said, "If Ah Qi was still taking drugs, we as parents would be embarrassed to cheat him, but Ah Qi has quit drugs now, and we are willing to pay the woman ten times her worth, so why is no one willing?"

Deng Changshou shook his head and said, "They say they have quit, but the drug rehabilitation doctor said that the relapse rate is very high. If you are not careful, you will start to take it again. Everyone knows how bad the reputation of white powder is now.

Girls with slightly better conditions are unwilling to marry such a man.

Let's wait and see. If it doesn't work, I can only lower my standards and find a random woman to make do with. No matter what, I can't be a widower. I still need to have children to carry on the family line."

Liu Ying thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go ask Jiugong for help? As long as Jiugong is willing to help, there is still hope of finding a good wife for Ah Qi."

Deng Changshou smiled bitterly and said, "Back then, Jiugong issued a ban on gambling and drugs in the entire clan, and everyone in the clan obeyed it. But our Ah Qi, that bastard, broke the ban on drugs. Over the past two years, I have felt guilty every time I saw Jiugong. How could I have the nerve to ask him for help!"

Facing Jiugong, Liu Ying actually felt guilty. However, seeing her eldest son sitting by the river with a desolate look on his face, and thinking that if things continued like this, not only her eldest son, but even her youngest son and daughter's marriages would be affected, she gritted her teeth and said, "This is not a solution. For the sake of our children's happiness, let's shamelessly ask Jiugong for help. No one else can help Ah Qi."

Seeing his eldest son sitting by the river like a fool, Deng Changshou was silent for a while before he sighed and said, "Forget it, let's shamelessly ask Jiugong to find a marriage for Ah Qi."

Liu Ying said with some excitement: "Then shall we go to Jiugong's house now?"

Deng Changshou stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Liu Ying said, "Wait for me for a moment. I'll bring a jar of pickled vegetables to Jiu Gong."

…

Five minutes later.

Deng Shirong looked at the jar of pickled vegetables on the table and said to Deng Changshou and his wife, who looked a little reserved, "Changshou, if you two have anything to say, just say it!"

Deng Changshou opened his mouth, but he was so nervous that he couldn't say anything. He could only kick his wife and let her speak.

Liu Ying had no choice but to say, “Jiu Gong, it’s like this, my Guai Ma Qi has been staying at home to quit drugs for more than two years, and even Shuang Wang rarely goes out. Now he is no different from a normal person.

He is not young anymore, and it is time for him to get married, but because of his previous reputation, girls with slightly better conditions are unwilling to marry him. His father and I really have no other choice, so we thought of asking you, Jiugong, to help him find a wife. "

Deng Shirong understood Guai Maqi's situation immediately after hearing this. Baifenzi's reputation is worse than those bad boys. No normal family would be willing to marry their daughter to a Baifenzi, even if this person is a member of the Naye Deng family.

Of course, there are all kinds of people in this world, and there are probably people who force their daughters to marry for money.

But what Deng Changshou and his wife wanted was that the woman would marry him willingly, rather than being forced to do so. If that were the case, they might as well hide the fact that their son was taking drugs and go to Bobai to find a partner. Given their family conditions, it would be very easy to find a wife.

However, Deng Changshou and his wife were both quite principled in this regard and did not want to cheat the girl, so they took the initiative to let the matchmaker inform the girl about their son Ah Qi's situation, which was why they were always disliked by the girl.

Deng Shirong thought for a moment and understood the reason. He looked up to the integrity of Deng Changshou and his wife and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll keep an eye out for him later to see if there's anyone suitable for him."

Mr. and Mrs. Deng Changshou were delighted to hear this. They didn't expect that Jiugong agreed to find a partner for their Ah Qi without any hesitation.

"Thank you Jiugong!"

"Thank you Jiugong!"

The couple expressed their gratitude.

Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, “You’re welcome. I’ve been keeping an eye on your Ah Qi’s situation over the past two years. He seems to be doing well at the moment, but you shouldn’t relax. You should always do a good job of supervision, because drug addiction cannot be cured, it can only be suppressed.

If there is not adequate supervision and he is allowed to come into contact with drugs again, he will most likely relapse.

So, you must keep a close eye on her. I will also explain your Ah Qi's situation to the girl's family. If she is willing to marry, you must show your appreciation and give her enough compensation."

"Jiu Gong, I understand. As long as the girl is willing to marry us, we are willing to pay her 100,000 yuan."

Deng Changshou gave the couple the greatest sincerity: "In addition, for every child born to our family, no matter it is a boy or a girl, we will give you a reward of 100,000 yuan. The more children you have, the more rewards you will get."

He has the confidence to say this. Although the current policy is strict, people born in the 1980s and 1990s in rural areas before the World Expo basically had three children at least, and four was relatively common. Those who had only two were extremely rare.

As for only children?

What a joke! In the rural area of ​​Bobai, there were no only children even in later generations, let alone in the 1980s and 1990s.

This is determined by the atmosphere in Bobai. In the era of one-child policy, work here was notoriously difficult.

Since then, some aspects of the work have had to slow down. You can imagine how obsessed the white people in Bo are with having children.

For the Bobai people, you are going to exterminate me, it would be strange if I don’t fight you to the death.

But the people of Bobai can say with confidence that the fertility rate in Bobai County is definitely much higher than the national average.

Because the custom of having children in rural Bobai has not changed much until later generations, having three children is still the basic requirement for rural people.

Now, the Naye Deng family not only has a home in Shuangwang Town, but also in Bobai. It is very easy for them to have more children if they want to.

Therefore, for the members of the Ye Deng clan, there is basically no pressure on how many children they have. The worst that can happen is that they just have to pay a fine when the time comes.

Deng Shirong knew that Deng Changshou and his wife had really invested a lot of money, so he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, since you said that, I will definitely help you find a good daughter-in-law. I hope your Ah Qi can suppress his drug addiction and not harm others."

Deng Changshou assured again: "Don't worry, Jiugong, we will do a good job of supervision and keep my son Ah Qi away from drugs and never touch this stuff again."

Liu Ying said: "Jiu Gong, over the past two years, my Ah Qi has realized his mistakes and is very determined to quit drugs. Plus, we are always monitoring him, I believe he won't relapse."

Deng Shirong thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll have someone investigate our Shuangwang and surrounding towns, and then cooperate with the public security organs to carry out a severe crackdown . As long as they don't have access to the drug source, the chances of your family's Ma Qi relapse will be relatively low."

Deng Changshou showed a surprised expression when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Lord Jiu!"

Liu Ying was also pleasantly surprised and said, "Thank you, Jiugong!"
