Several young men didn't know what their director meant and didn't dare to say anything. They just looked at the lazy Cui Ying.
Suddenly, Cui Ying nonchalantly raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the table.
Mingshi was so frightened that he jumped up, and even the guys next to him were trembling with fear.
"Mingshi, you are quite courageous, aren't you? You dared to break into someone's house in the middle of the night, and you were holding a knife. If I remember correctly, you rushed over with the knife towards that old man, right?"
"I...I...I just think...that old man might be easier to bully, and this would have the effect of scaring Ming Leyao."
"Oh, so you admit the fact that you rushed towards the old man with a kitchen knife?"
"yes..."
Hearing Mingshi's admission, Cui Ying's fierce aura disappeared completely. He turned to look at the young people and smiled brightly.
"You heard it. He admitted it himself. He had planned to chop the old man with a kitchen knife."
"Yes, yes, you are right, Chief."
"Well, the charge of premeditated murder of the mayor of Nanxing City has also been established. Let's go through the judicial process and sentence him accordingly."
"Yes, Chief."
Mingshi's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe that this crime was placed on his head.
mayor...
mayor...
That old man is actually a mayor? ?
Who the hell is the mayor who doesn't stay at home but comes to this corner of Shangjiaqiao Brigade to squat? ?
More importantly...
When did Ming Leyao get to know the mayor?
If he had known this earlier, why would he have bothered with this? If he had just tried to curry favor with that damn girl, wouldn't he have everything?
"No..no..I didn't know he was the mayor, I..."
"Do you think you can clear your name by saying you didn't know? Even if that old man wasn't the mayor, you can just chop him up, you idiot."
After saying that, Cui Ying stood up and left the interrogation room directly.
The questioning of Ming Leyao was over, and Cui Ying took the two people directly to his office.
The man who was acting like a director just now, when the door was closed, acted like a lackey, running around for his old father.
"Dad, are you tired? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Come home for lunch. I just called your daughter-in-law, and I think the meal is ready now."
"No, I can't eat alone. Your mother is waiting for me at home."
"Then I'll send someone to pick up mom as well?"
"Alright."
The old man hasn't visited his son's house for a long time, so it's not impossible for him to take this opportunity to go over and take a look.
Cui Ying acted quickly. Within an hour, he took the old lady to his home, and the family happily had a reunion dinner together.
After the meal, Cui Yingcai told everyone the results of the interrogation of Mingshi.
After hearing this, the old man and the old lady didn't have any big reaction, and Ming Leyao was even less so.
She was not the original owner, and had no feelings for the people in the old house. Besides, Mingshi went to her house, and whether he succeeded or not, he had evil intentions. He couldn't blame anyone else for the current outcome.
Time flies.
The autumn of 1977 arrived as promised.
The weather at the end of September was a little chilly. The old man changed from short sleeves to long sleeves. His illness was treated until the last day.
Cui Ying had been waiting at Ming Leyao's home early in the morning. He watched Ming Leyao pull out the last needle for his old father, and quickly handed the clothes to the old man to put on.
"Grandpa Cui, keep it up. I guarantee you'll live to be a hundred years old."
"Hey, girl, I'm going to borrow your good words."
"I'm not talking nonsense. Grandpa Cui, take good care of yourself and don't overwork yourself. Basically, there won't be any major problems with your body."
"Le Yao, thank you for this time."
There was reluctance in Mrs. Cui's eyes. People are emotional, especially after being together for more than half a month. In addition, Mrs. Cui really treated Ming Leyao as her own child, so the reluctance was even deeper.
“This is what I should do.”
After all, the money Cui Ying gave her was so much that she felt ashamed to accept it.
"When you have time, come to Nanxing City to visit us old couple. We will wait for you at home."
"Okay, Grandma Cui, you can tell me anything you want."
"Okay, okay...good boy."
Even though she was reluctant, it was finally time to say goodbye. Looking at Cui Ying's car gradually disappearing at the entrance of the village, Ming Leyao felt a little empty in her heart.
In order to avoid being too sad, she started cleaning after returning to the house.
Take apart the bedding and throw them all into the washing machine in the space for washing. Take out all the quilts to dry in the sun during the day.
Today, the thatched hut school in Shangjiaqiao has moved to a renovated adobe house next to the Youth League Home. A stove has been installed in the house to ensure that the children will not freeze in the winter. The environment has improved, and the courses taught are gradually getting on track.
Pang Jianyuan selected two educated youth, one male and one female, who had good personalities and reputations, to teach the children knowledge together with Ming Leyao.
In addition to being responsible for mathematics, the male educated youth also served as physical education teachers and did odd jobs.
Although there is a lot of work to do, it is better than working in the fields.
Ming Leyao got along well with the two teachers. She happened to have classes in the afternoon, and after seeing the old man off, she had the whole morning to work.
At noon, Ming Leyao was preparing to have a bite and then take a nap when the courtyard door was pushed open from the outside.
"sister."
When I looked up, it was the eldest son of my fourth uncle's family, Ming Xiaojiang.
Looking at the little girl who was much more lively than before, Ming Leyao couldn't help but smile.
"Xiao Jiang is here? Have you eaten yet? I'm about to prepare lunch, so why don't you just eat with me?"
"Okay, hey? Are Grandpa Cui and Grandma Cui gone?"
"Yeah, they left this morning."
Ming Xiaojiang didn't spend much time with the old couple, so whether they left or not had little to do with her, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Sister, look, what did I bring?"
"Yo huh? Are you still being mysterious with your sister?"
"Hey, sister, just cooperate with me."
"You, did Fourth Aunt ask you to bring me something to eat again?"
"Yes, these are pickles made by my mother. They were just opened today. I know you like them, so I brought them to you."
"Thank you, Xiao Jiang. Come in and sit down."
"OK."
Ming Xiaojiang was sitting in the yard, jumping and skipping, skillfully teasing the dog that had grown into a big dog.
I don’t know if Ming Leyao is lazy or she has forgotten, but she has never given the dog a name. Anyway, everyone is used to calling the dog “dog” and the little thing is used to it too.
"Dog, did you miss me? Oh, have you gained weight again?"
The dog raised his eyes and looked at Ming Xiaojiang, then silently buried his head between his paws.
You are fat, your whole family is fat, humph!!!
