Chapter 82 Chapter 82 "I think the little... little boat is not...
There was no way to hide the fact that Ma Jian had "escaped", so Old Lady Ma had to call her family members to come. Her three sons were unable to come due to various reasons, so she could only contact her daughter-in-law and grandson in the production brigade.
Officer Xiao Fu had no choice but to go back to the police station and apply for a two-seater motorcycle. He and his colleagues rushed to the production brigade where the Ma family was.
When they first heard that Mrs. Ma had been detained, they all stood up for her. The two daughters-in-law and the son-in-law who had heard the news rushed over and scrambled to follow them to the police station.
Until someone asked: "Where is Ma Jian? Isn't he too unfilial? He didn't come back even when his mother was in such a big trouble? Yes, he watched his two younger brothers go to prison without helping at all and hiding behind a woman every day. What kind of man is he!"
Ma Ersao was extremely angry. How could she not be angry?
My husband was put in prison and will be locked up for more than ten years. When he comes out, he will be too old to work. He might even have to be supported by his own children.
But if he can't work, then he can't work. After all, he didn't do any work before he went to prison, and his whole family relied on the money from Matian to make a living, so it didn't matter if he didn't do farm work.
On the bright side, the two brothers going to prison saved food for the family, and she and the children could even eat a few more mouthfuls of food. If you really calculate it, it's nothing more than one less person around at night, so it doesn't matter whether it has any impact or not.
But the reason why she was so angry was that Ma Jian had ignored them during this period. Every time they went to the city, they were stopped by the Li family. They could not see the money and could not get it. If they had not been thick-skinned to borrow money during this period, the whole family would have starved.
So I was looking forward to it and hoping that the old lady would come back soon.
When the old lady comes back, she will be able to control Ma Jian completely. As his sister-in-law, they have no reason to ask Ma Jian for money. But if the old lady goes away, will Ma Jian not give her money?
Isn't it because the old lady has been able to control Ma Jian that they have been able to live such a comfortable life over the past few years?
We've been comfortable for so long that it's become a matter of course.
Even his own mother and brother don't feel sorry for Ma Jian, so how can they, as the daughters-in-law who married into the family, feel sorry for their eldest uncle?
The Ma family's sons-in-law who heard the news and rushed over also thought so. The three of them were vying to go to the city, just to follow Old Lady Ma to ask Ma Jian for money and things. If they could coax him well, they might even be able to get more benefits.
None of them gave in to the other and they all wanted to have a fight in front of the police.
But at this time everyone was very aggressive. When Ma Ersao spoke ill of Ma Jian, the others also echoed her.
"Isn't it? People like this who are disobedient should be thrown into jail."
"He has no conscience at all. He doesn't even acknowledge his nephew when mom is not at home."
"Is he still in the motor factory? Public Security comrade, can you take us to the motor factory? We must take Ma Jian with us to pick up my mother."
He kept talking about how unfilial Majian was.
But this person's face was particularly ugly. If they themselves had heard that Old Lady Ma was detained, how could they not be worried and ask a few questions?
As a result, they only cared about Ma Jian from beginning to end, because Ma Jian was a worker in the motor factory and could earn more than 30 yuan a month.
It's just over 30 yuan. Even if you earn 10 centimeters doing farm work in the production brigade, you can't earn much money a year. Instead of working hard on the farm, you might as well hold on to this big brother. With him "supporting" you, do you still have to worry about the whole family not having enough to eat?
Policeman Xiao Fu understood more and more why Ma Jian ran away. He said calmly, "Ma Jian has been transferred to another job. His whole family has gone to the Northeast. They will not be able to come back for a while. You have to handle Mrs. Ma's affairs."
"Transfer?"
"Northeast?!"
"No, no, no, comrade Public Security, are you mistaken?"
"That's right, the person had already left on the train." The reason why Public Security Officer Xiao Fu said this was because it couldn't be kept secret, and it didn't matter if he said it. The Northeast is such a large area that the Ma family wouldn't be able to find the person even if they wanted to.
Unless Majian takes the initiative to contact them, but how could he take the initiative to contact them when he is running in such a hurry?
No matter what the Ma family planned, it would all be in vain in the end.
"How can he leave? What will we do if he leaves?"
"What about his job? When he's gone, do we have to take over his job?"
"My son is his nephew, so his job must be given to my son..."
"Bah! A nephew is a real nephew, but a nephew is not a real nephew? My son is just the right age, so he must take over."
"Bullshit, you shameless bastard, you are an outsider and you want to steal things from our Ma family..."
Seeing that the family was about to fight, Public Security Officer Xiao Fu shouted, "Stop it! He was transferred and left with his own work quota. There is no way he would give his job to you!"
This time everyone in the Ma family panicked.
Now that Majian is gone, who will support them in the future?
Would he have to earn a living by working hard like he did a long time ago? Would he work like the other villagers in the brigade every day, working himself to exhaustion and only being able to eat until he was 70% full?
It's not like they haven't experienced this kind of life before, but it's only after experiencing it that they know how tiring it is. Who doesn't want to lie down and let others support them?
They thought that after being raised for seven or eight years, life like this was just too wonderful, so wonderful that they didn't want to go back to the past.
But who will support them now that Matian is gone?
How can I transfer my job?
At this moment, everyone in the Ma family felt a little regretful. In fact, they all knew in their hearts why Ma Jian wanted to go to the Northeast. If it wasn't for the fact that life was really difficult, who would be willing to leave their hometown and go to a place where they were unfamiliar with?
If they had known that Ma Jian would run away, they would not have pushed him so hard...
"It's all your fault! I told you not to cause trouble in the city, but now you've caused trouble and run away!"
"You're still blaming me. Weren't you the one who first demanded that Matian pay a thousand yuan in compensation..."
Now the Ma family started making trouble again, and not only did they make trouble, they also started to fight.
Public security officer Xiao Fu had learned his lesson. He did not rush over to persuade them immediately. Instead, he shouted at the people watching the excitement at the gate of the courtyard, "Hurry up and pull these people apart! This is simply lawless. Do you production team want to be evaluated for excellence?"
After hearing this, some people outside could no longer stand.
Evaluation is a big deal. Who doesn't want his or her own production team to be evaluated as an excellent team?
After a while, several people rushed in, swarmed in front of the Ma family and pulled them apart one by one. If anyone dared to attack again, they would just reach out and pinch them a few times until they were in too much pain to fight.
Seeing the people separate, Public Security Officer Xiao Fu was too lazy to continue talking to them, so he asked directly: "Who of you wants to go to the police station with me?"
At this point, the two daughters-in-law and the son-in-law all fell silent. Even the nephews and nieces who had previously clamored to take over the business looked left and right, but did not dare to look Public Security Officer Xiao Fu in the eye.
People used to rush to go because they thought they could get some advantage.
But what to do now?
Majian had already run away, so they couldn't take advantage of her even if they wanted to, and who knew if that old woman would get into any trouble that would involve them?
"I won't go. I have a lot of things to do at home. Who can take care of her?"
"You think I have nothing to do? I don't have time either."
The son-in-law of the Ma family just walked away and said, "The Ma family and I are not from the same family. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. If you have any troubles in the future, don't look for me."
Everyone was eager to go before, but now no one wants to go. Policeman Xiao Fu frowned and said, "If you don't ask for forgiveness from the injured, Mrs. Ma will go to jail."
"She'll be in jail, but that old woman is wasting food when she comes back."
"Let her go to jail. I don't believe that he would hide out and not come back even though his own mother is in jail."
After hearing this, Public Security Officer Xiao Fu was too lazy to stay any longer. He had said everything that needed to be said anyway. If they didn't want to go, that was their family's own business.
He waved to his colleagues and left the Ma family yard.
After riding on the motorcycle, the colleague said quietly: "The Ma family is really cruel. They actually let Mrs. Ma go to jail."
Police officer Xiao Fu added, "Not only is he cruel, he is also extremely evil."
The roots of this family are crooked. From the old to the young, not one of the people in the family has a good heart. They are all plotting against Majian, thinking about how to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Now that Majian had run away, he was sure that this family would not have an easy life in the future.
You have never thought about relying on your own labor to struggle, but only care about calculating others. Now, those who don't calculate are not willing to endure hardships, so how can they live a better life?
Just wait, hard times are yet to come for this family.
But this matter has nothing to do with him. He still has to go to the health hospital. He will probably make a big fuss when he finds out that Majian has run away.
Today, don't even think about having a rest.
…
But it's quite warm in the Jiang family.
Xu Yingxia was particularly welcoming to her future son-in-law, especially since Xiao Cheng had been helping Jiang Xiaozhou with his homework these past few days. Jiang Xiaozhou was not as naughty as before and would pick up his books and start reviewing as soon as he got home.
She didn't think it was a problem for her son to graduate early.
If one teaches well and the other learns well, how could there be any problem?
Especially today, Xiao Cheng brought a guest with him, so she was even more enthusiastic. Although he was just a younger person, it was the first time for someone from the Cheng family to come to the house so she had to treat him well.
Especially since this younger member of the Cheng family was specially entrusted by Cheng's mother to deliver the gift. How could we not entertain him if he had to travel so far?
At this time Jiang Xiaozhou jumped out and said very actively that he could prepare a big meal and ensure that everyone would eat and drink well!
However, Cheng Jin smiled and rejected him, "Don't bother, your sister and I will go to the state-owned hotel and pack some bags and come back later."
After saying that, he pulled the people around him over and said, "He is a year older than you. He just graduated from high school early this year. I thought that you two are of similar ages and should have a lot in common. In addition, he has just graduated and must understand the knowledge in the books better. How about letting him tutor you today?"
Jiang Shuangshuang on the side glanced at him, pursed her lips and tried not to laugh out loud. She saw how much pain Comrade Cheng had suffered in the past three days.
He is also very courageous, willing to tutor a poor student.
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Comrade Cheng came quickly, so she naturally accepted the offer. She didn't have to worry about such a difficult matter on her own, and she had to thank Comrade Cheng very much.
But one does feel a bit sorry for him. Look, he forced a person who is not talkative to begin with to say such a long sentence. After finally catching someone, Comrade Cheng must be very eager to get rid of the blame, otherwise he would not be so talkative.
"Oh, your cousin has already graduated from high school at such a young age?" Xu Yingxia's eyes lit up. The child with good grades left a better impression in her mind. She looked at Cheng Yichen, who had a face full of energy, and then at her silly son opposite her.
They are almost the same age but they look like two different people.
But her silly son was taller, and he couldn't hide the silly look on his face. She pushed him unhappily and said, "You have to learn from him. He can graduate early. If you let him teach you, you can do it too."
"Really?" Jiang Xiaozhou was a little unconfident.
He looked up at his brother-in-law, his big eyes full of curiosity.
Regardless of whether it works or not, Cheng Jin had to nod his head heavily when he saw the look in his eyes, "Of course it works, go, let him teach you."
When Jiang Xiaozhou heard this, he immediately straightened his chest.
He felt that his brother-in-law's words were credible. After all, he was the teacher who had taught him for three days. How could he say such words if he didn't have confidence in him?
It seems that he is quite smart.
If you work hard, you might be able to graduate early!
At the same time, Cheng Yichen was also quite proud. It was the first time that his cousin praised him so much, and in front of his future wife's family.
If my cousin didn't really think so, how could he let him teach his brother-in-law?
He was determined to teach well after being entrusted with such an important task!
Just like that, the two of them went to the cottage where Jiang Xiaozhou lived, one after the other. Apart from anything else, their confident steps were exactly the same!
Xu Yingxia was extremely happy, and she raised a finger to her lips, "Let's keep our voices down so as not to disturb them."
"Aunt Xu, Shuangshuang and I are going to the state-owned hotel to buy some dishes. Do you want to eat anything?"
"All right, all right." Xu Yingxia put down the things in her hands and stood up while saying: "I'll get you some money, you buy a few dishes that your brother likes."
"No need, I still have money." After saying that, Cheng Jin looked at Shuangshuang beside him and winked at her, looking forward to going out to buy groceries with her.
I originally thought that being able to stay two more hours at the Jiang family every night was a good thing, but now it seems that is not the case at all.
He thought that the two hours were for explaining the questions to his brother-in-law, and then while his brother-in-law was doing the questions, he could take some time to talk to Shuangshuang. If that didn't work, he could just go out and sit next to Shuangshuang.
But no one expected that he would be nailed to death in his brother-in-law's room within two hours.
From beginning to end, there was no time for him to leave.
Moreover, two hours was really not enough given the current pace. As soon as he entered the Jiang family's door yesterday, he had to pull his brother-in-law into the inner room to study. Otherwise, he would not be able to graduate early if he continued to study like this.
Three days ago, he never imagined that although he spent more time at the Jiang family, he spent less time with Shuangshuang.
This won't do, he has to think of other ways.
So on the way to the state-owned hotel, Cheng Jin hesitated for a long time before he spoke very tactfully: "What do you think of Cheng Yichen?"
Jiang Shuangshuang looked at him with amusement and said, "Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."
"..." Cheng Jin felt inexplicably hot on the face.
He felt that this was a bad move.
I still have it in my notebook! My comrades have warned me that when talking to someone, I must not guess too much. The more I guess, the shallower the relationship will be!
How could he forget something so important?
Tsk, I really want to slap myself.
He hurried to rescue her. "I was thinking that we should think of other ways. I think Xiao... Xiao Zhou can't graduate."
Jiang Shuangshuang raised her eyebrows, "You are a little too direct."
"..." Cheng Jin really had no choice. If there was any possibility, he would not have said it so directly. But thinking about the progress in the past three days, either his brother-in-law did not have the talent for studying, or he did not have the talent for teaching.
But think about the soldiers he has trained over the years, who wouldn't say that he is a good teacher?
So, it can only be the former.
However, looking at Shuangshuang's cold face, he felt that he seemed to be too direct. But no comrade taught him that some words should not be said too directly...
When he was so nervous that he had to swallow, he saw her eyebrows slightly curved and she smiled, a particularly bright smile.
At this moment he seemed to understand the meaning of the phrase "smiling like a flower".
"Comrade Cheng, you've just realized that Jiang Xiaozhou isn't the right person for this?" Jiang Shuangshuang teased him with a smile, tapping his shoulder with a finger. "So don't agree to some things so quickly, or you'll be in trouble."
After all, he is her own brother, so she knows whether he has the ability or not. If he studies hard for two years, maybe he will have a chance.
But now he is rushing to graduate early without even having a solid foundation. That guy really doesn't have the ability to do that, unless he is forced!
When I had no plan to let him take over, I thought that at his age, he was still a child in his previous life, so it wouldn't be a problem to let him play for another year or two.
But now that we are planning to let him take over, it is indeed the best choice, so we can only force him, "There are not many teachers teaching in the school now, I thought about letting him take a leave and come back."
Cheng Jin understood immediately, "Ask someone to come back and tutor you?"
Jiang Shuangshuang nodded. "One-on-one teaching will be more useful for him. Someone has to keep an eye on him all the time so that he won't be distracted so easily."
She also noticed this when Comrade Cheng was teaching Jiang Xiaozhou. At first, Jiang Xiaozhou couldn't sit still and kept making small movements, but with Comrade Cheng watching him and reminding him from time to time, he was able to bring him back to normal.
However, he is so far behind that two hours is definitely not enough. In addition, the current situation is special. School has started but normal teaching is not possible. Most of the time, students have to study on their own. It would be better for him to take a leave and go home to find someone to teach him from morning till night.
Two hours is not enough, five hours should be ok, right?
If five hours isn't enough, then ten hours should be fine, right?
It was hard work, but didn't Jiang Xiaozhou say that he didn't like going to school? After working hard for half a year, he could be released a year earlier. It seemed worth it, right?
But it doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not. His opinion is not needed on this matter anyway. His life now is mainly about studying, nothing else... No, there's also cooking.
He can't sit in a chair for ten hours, so taking some time to cook is a break for him.
And cleaning and laundry...
By this calculation, he seems to be quite busy?
After all, he is my own brother, and it doesn't seem right to oppress him like this.
Let’s put it this way, from now on I’ll give him big meals and buy him snacks every day as a reward for his hard work!
Jiang Shuangshuang made the decision happily.
As for asking her to take on some work, she would definitely not choose to do that. She would rather spend more money to reward her brother, and she believes he would like it very much.
But to be honest, this was also the confidence given to her by Comrade Cheng.
She had such a large sum of money in her hand, all of which was her "dowry" from him, and it suddenly became her confidence.
"Then let Cheng Yichen stay here for a while."
Cheng Jin was quite happy about the arrival of his cousin. After all, he had two abnormal brothers. The contrast made his cousin seem more approachable.
But he was only happy for a moment. Before he met Shuangshuang, he really felt that his feelings for his family were not that strong, otherwise he would not have joined the army alone at the age of sixteen and rarely went home during the holidays.
However, even if he went home, he might not be able to meet his parents, because they might have gone to a secret base, so he might not be able to see them even if he wanted to.
So he was thinking about when to get his cousin on the train, or else he would have to worry about how to entertain him.
But now he felt that his cousin came at the right time. A high school student who graduated early with excellent grades, wasn't he the obvious little teacher?
He couldn't help his brother-in-law, but if his cousin could help, wasn't that the same as him helping?
The more he thought about it, the better this idea seemed to him. He “sold” his cousin without hesitation. “He doesn’t want to go back to work, so let him stay here for a few more months. I’ll arrange his accommodation and he can just come here for classes every day.”
"Okay, I'm just worried about the young teachers." Jiang Shuangshuang agreed with a smile, "But in addition to him, I plan to find two more people, so that they can take turns teaching the young teachers and it won't be too tiring."
After all, Comrade Cheng could hardly bear it after three days of teaching, let alone the other young people. We still have to give them a chance to catch their breath.
She continued, "Let Jiang Xiaozhou pay him a salary. I will cover the money for him first, and then he can pay me back later."
In addition to Comrade Cheng's cousin, there is also Lu Sanya from the next yard, who is recognized as the smartest child in their yard, otherwise her grandmother, who favors boys over girls, would not let her continue her studies.
But she is willing to provide and will say some unpleasant words from time to time. It is a good opportunity to find her a job to earn some money to supplement the family income in her spare time. I believe Lu Sanya and the Lu family will be happy with it.
As for the final candidate, she also had an idea.
Good things should not be wasted on outsiders, and good things will naturally benefit one's own family.
My second cousin's partner is quite suitable. Although Sister Lizhu only graduated from primary school, the day the Zhao family came to their house, they said that her academic performance was very good, otherwise she would not have been sent to school. However, country children only go to primary school and do not continue their studies.
It just so happened that Sister Lizhu taught elementary school content, cousin Cheng taught high school content, and Lu Sanya focused on Jiang Xiaozhou's weakest knowledge points. Everything was arranged clearly. If he still couldn't pass the exam, he would be sent directly to dig coal.
He loves to dig ant eggs in the yard every day. I guess he also likes digging coal.
