After hearing what Sun Yuqi said, everyone knew that she was telling the truth, but now everyone has little time to study, so how can they have the mood to study?
Sun Yuqi continued.
"Here, a warm house ensures we can concentrate on studying. If you don't have a warm house, how can you study well? Regardless of whether it's putting the cart before the horse or not, we must ensure we don't get cold. If we get sick, it will probably delay the college entrance examination."
After Sun Yuqi's words, everyone realized that it was not realistic to pick up a little firewood every day. It had snowed a few days ago. Although it was not heavy, it was colder than before. The little firewood picked up every day was not enough.
"Sun Zhiqing's words make sense. I suggest we take advantage of these two days to collect more firewood! We should suspend our studies for two days. Otherwise, if things really turn out like what Sun Zhiqing said, it will probably be too late to regret it."
Fang Zhou's words surprised everyone. They were not surprised at what he said, but they were surprised that he actually spoke such a long paragraph. You know, Comrade Fang Zhou basically doesn't talk. Every time he goes out, it is Chu Yan who talks to others.
Chu Yan saw everyone looking at her husband in surprise, and she felt amused in her heart. She was also helpless about the fact that her husband rarely talked to others outside. Her husband was shy and basically didn't talk outside. She had been trying to change over the years, but with little success, and she basically gave up hope.
"I'm sorry, Fang Zhou isn't good at speaking, but I think you all heard what my Fang Zhou said. I still agree with Sun Yuqi's opinion. What do you think?"
Chu Yan also didn't want everyone to focus on her husband anymore, so she quickly changed the subject.
When asked this by Chu Yan, everyone agreed with Sun Yuqi's statement. In the end, they all agreed to take a two-day break from going up the mountain to collect firewood. Of course, the men were responsible for chopping firewood, and the women were responsible for carrying the firewood down the mountain.
This went on for three days. The educated youth only read and studied at night, and got up early in the morning to go up the mountain to chop firewood, and carried it back in the afternoon.
Looking at the firewood piled up in the woodshed, everyone had a smile on their faces.
"Oh, this firewood should be enough!"
Zhang Jiansong squatted aside and gasped.
Zhang Jianlin looked at his brother who was exhausted and panting, and said helplessly.
"I guess it's still not enough. Think about it, although this firewood is a lot, you have to know that we have four families here. This amount of firewood probably won't be enough to last until January next year."
Qi Aiguo thought for a moment and said, "How about we stay here for another two days? If we all pass the exam by then, it'll be fine. But if someone doesn't pass, then they'll have to stay here for another two or three months."
After discussion, everyone went to the mountains to collect firewood for three more days.
It was mid-November and there were two heavy snowfalls in a row. The educated youth no longer had to collect firewood, but they did have an extra job, which was shoveling snow and clearing snow from the roof.
Fortunately, several male educated youth had experienced the winter in Northeast China, so clearing the snow on the roof was the job of the male educated youth. The only female educated youth were Sun Yuqi, Liu Jingjing and Chu Yan, and they were responsible for clearing a path in the yard. It was impossible for everyone to stay at home!
Half a month later, another heavy snow stopped. When everyone was clearing the snow in the yard, Chen Hao and Lin Muran finally came back. They came to take the college entrance examination. Now the time of the college entrance examination has been set, which is December 20th. Now you can go to the county cultural and educational office to register.
Sun Yuqi was not surprised by the arrival of Lin Muren and Chen Hao. When she left Beijing, they said they would come back. Although their family was from Beijing, their household registration was moved to the Northeast when they went to the countryside, so they also needed to take the college entrance examination in the Northeast.
After clearing the snow, everyone went into the house again. Because Chen Hao and Lin Muren's house had not been occupied for a long time, and there was not much firewood, they tried to save as much as possible. So Lin Muren lived in Sun Yuqi's house, and Chen Hao lived with the two brothers Zhang Jianlin. During this period, everyone's food was put together, and everyone cooked and ate together. They studied in Zhang Jianlin's house. Because their house was larger and the light was good, everyone stayed in Zhang Jianlin's house to study during the day. Basically, no one lit a fire in other people's houses during the day, but just added some firewood to ensure that the fire did not go out.
That night, Sun Yuqi and Lin Muren lay on the kang and talked about what happened after Sun Yuqi left the capital.
It turned out that after Sun Yuqi left Beijing, Gu Zhengshan and Zhuang Xinlan still went to see Sun Yuqi every few days. After careful investigation, Mu Jingran and Chen Hao really discovered a big thing. Gu Zhengshan’s eldest son, named Gu Tingjun, had committed a big crime, and it was a matter of life and death.
It turns out that Gu Tingjun was not a good person, otherwise he would not have embezzled public funds. In order to fill the hole, he and Gu Zhengshan finally framed Gu Tingkai and Shen Qingrou, and used the Shen family's money to save themselves.
Later, the situation suddenly changed and the Gu family was exiled to the southwest. There, Gu Tingjun used his handsome face to deceive several girls, and finally joined forces with human traffickers to sell those girls to other places.
The reason why Mu Jingran and Chen Hao found out about this matter was that Mu Jingran's comrades found out about it while doing a mission in the southwest. Mu Jingran directly sent the evidence to the public security organs in secret. Less than half a month after Sun Yuqi left Beijing, Gu Tingjun was arrested by the public security organs. He has now been sentenced to eighteen years and has been imprisoned.
Gu Zhengshan was also involved in this matter. It was not that he helped Gu Tingjun do this, but he did not report it to the public security organs after he found out about it. He was charged with harboring a criminal, and his newly assigned job was suspended and he was expelled from the party. Although he was not sentenced, he completely lost the qualification to live in the compound, and his family was ordered to move out of the compound. Now they seem to be renting a small courtyard within the Second Ring Road.
Hearing this, Sun Yuqi smiled and said, "I was thinking that I would deal with them after I got into college and went to Beijing. But now, Mu Jingran and Chen Hao have dealt with them without me having to do anything.
"Thank you, Mu Ran. If you hadn't helped me, I would probably continue to be harassed by them after I returned to Beijing."
Lin Muran waved his hand, "You're thanking the wrong person. The one who's most worried about this matter is Mu Jingran. He's the one who's in charge of everything. Chen Hao and I just told Grandpa about what's happened in the Gu family over the years."
