Chapter 193 Strike While the Iron is Hot and Apply for Homestead
When the father and son returned home and just walked to the door, they heard a few noises in the house.
Through the window, I saw Liang Zifeng in a panic, collecting some things on the table in the room and stuffing them into his thick outer cover.
"Don't hide, everyone has seen it! Books, pens, take them all out of your clothes!" Liang's father leaned his head into the window and shouted to Liang Zifeng.
Liang Zifeng's face turned pale instantly, and he moved unwillingly from his belly like a criminal in the act.
Swipe once and take out a book; swipe again and take out another notebook.
It was all in pieces, like a magic trick. Liang Ziqiang looked in from the outside, and it seemed that he was not taking things out of the outer cover, but that Liang Zifeng had eaten all the books and pens into his stomach, and was now taking them out one by one.
After taking it out, he looked like a failure, waiting to be beaten with a bamboo stick.
Father Liang's voice was as loud as ever:
"Who are you showing off to when you put your books in such a mess? Do you want me to put them in order for you? Put your books in order yourself. That table is your desk from now on. Unless I'm too busy to move around at home, I won't ask you to help with trivial matters. Just lie on the table and learn whatever you want. I don't want to bother with you!"
My father's tone was still fierce, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Liang Zifeng.
But Liang Ziqiang was surprised to hear this. His father, who was so stubborn, was actually persuaded and enlightened? Liang Zifeng was more shocked than Liang Ziqiang.
He stared at Liang's father for a long time, but couldn't guess what he meant. He panicked and reached out his hand:
"Dad, you'd better get a stick and beat him directly!"
Liang Ziqiang hurried into the house and pushed his hand back:
"Why, now that dad is willing to let you learn, you're still not happy?"
Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Liang Zifeng finally began to accept this sudden reality: "Second brother, don't make fun of me. Has Dad really figured it out?!"
Seeing Liang Ziqiang nod, he almost hugged him: "Second brother, you are the best. You have convinced me of this. Second brother is so good!"
Liang Ziqiang didn't dare to take such a big credit: "Why are you thanking me? You should thank Teacher Lu. Lu Guangcai advised me a lot today, and I've almost run out of breath!"
After saying that, he poked Liang Zifeng again: "Why don't you go outside and say a few words to Dad, and promise to study hard and work hard for the exam!"
Liang Zifeng hurriedly ran out of the house with Liang Ziqiang.
Liang Zifeng opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and was about to express his opinion to his father, but Liang's father spoke first.
Still with a stern face and a look of annoyance, he waved his hand in the direction of the straw shed outside the house, pointing at the antique old boat that was a family heirloom under the shed: "You are really good at hiding things! Move out the treasures hidden in the old boat yourself and take them back to the house and keep them safe! Why are you standing there in a daze? Do you want me to help you move them?"
Liang Zifeng was not motionless, he was completely shocked this time.
My top secret, it turns out that in my father's eyes, it is no longer a secret.
So, in front of Liang's mother, Liang Ziqiang, and Chen Xiangbei, Liang Zifeng crawled into the scrapped old wooden boat under the thatched shed, opened something from the cabin, and when he came out, he was holding piles of books.
The textbooks for various high school subjects were all brand new. They were obviously the ones Liang Ziqiang bought for him at the Xinhua Bookstore when he took him to the city last time.
Liang Ziqiang remembered that he had asked him at that time, the house was so small, how could there be any place to hide from his father's eyes. At that time, Liang Zifeng patted his chest and said that he had a way.
Liang Ziqiang never expected that his method was to secretly hide the book in an old boat!
This old boat was really turned into treasure by him. Anyway, this place successfully utilized the blind spot of thinking. Liang Ziqiang had never thought about it.
But even so, he was still found by his father. As the saying goes, "The higher the virtue, the higher the evil!"
Kuang Haixia and Chen Xiangbei stopped fishing and were stunned with their mouths open.
It's a spy movie, which is rarely seen on the screen. You can watch it to your heart's content just by sitting at home!
Liang Zifeng was also annoyed. Under the collective gaze of the whole family, he picked up the books from the boat and walked home again and again...
After talking about Liang Zifeng, Liang's father turned to Liang Ziqiang and said, "Where does he get the money? You bought all these books, didn't you? You are amazing. You bought him almost a whole boatload of books!"
Liang Ziqiang really wanted to say: Actually, he has some money, you just don’t know it.
After Liang Zifeng moved all the books back to the house and put them away, he had an expression as if he and his books had crawled out of the cellar and seen the light of day again. After expressing his attitude to his father, he sat back in the house and went back to study openly.
The family members went back to their own business. Chen Xiangbei came over and whispered to Liang Ziqiang:
"Have you seen the land where the house is to be built? Where is it? Is it far from here?"
"It's not far, Juzipo. I will definitely take you there soon!" Liang Ziqiang said.
Chen Xiangbei nodded: "Is it convenient to get spring water nearby?"
Liang Ziqiang didn't expect his wife to be so specific and practical in her thinking. But when he thought about it, it was true. For the people in Pomwang Village, the distance of fresh water resources was very important.
He smiled and said, "I've thought of it for you! There's a pond not far away, and there's a stream behind the slope, which is also connected to a mountain spring, just like the stream here now!"
"From what you said, I think I'd like to go and see it someday!"
"Wait for me to go to the village to go through the formalities, and then we'll officially decide on the location. After that, we'll start construction and lay the foundation, and you'll have to go there all day long!"
He did what he said. After talking to Chen Xiangbei for a few words, he turned and went into the house to get a cigarette.
He bought the big front door in the town that morning for no other reason than to take it to Zhong Yongrui's house to discuss the housing land issue.
Originally, it would be enough for him to go alone, and there would be no problem in getting things done.
As soon as they walked out the door, his father decided to accompany him, considering that he had a good relationship with Zhong Yongrui and could talk to him.
When he arrived at Zhong's house, Zhong Ming had already returned from the street, and Zhong Kang was also at home. But Liang Ziqiang didn't expect that there were at least a dozen villagers standing in the open space in front of Zhong Yongrui's door.
"Brother Qiang, you're here! Did you know that Yang Xi and Yang Qing were sentenced to eighteen years in prison? Shouldn't we buy some firecrackers to celebrate?"
The person who spoke was Deng Zhaocai.
Zhong Ming then said, "Aqiang knows. He was there when I read the notice this morning!"
Liang Ziqiang then realized that the villagers gathered in the open space were all talking about Yang Xi and Yang Qing being sentenced to eighteen years in prison.
It can be seen that all those present were celebrating the sentencing of Yang Xi and the other two, and their faces showed excitement and relief. On the contrary, there were few members of the Yang family present.
"I might as well just die in there instead of sitting there for eighteen years!"
"I don't know if Yang Laizi will still be alive after they come out of here!"
"First, consider whether Yang Xi and Yang Qing can survive for eighteen years!"
I remember that the topic that everyone was most concerned about yesterday was the marriage of Li Liang and Yuan Xiaomei. It was only hot for one day, but today it was diluted by the latest news about Yang Xi and Yang Qing.
As for Zheng Liu, he was completely saved. Few people were interested in his face hidden behind the cotton hat. Even if he walked through the crowd with the weird big cotton hat on, no one would even look at him.
Liang Ziqiang didn't get too involved in the discussion as he had important things to do.
He asked Zhong Ming to bring Zhong Yongrui, who was chatting excitedly, back to the house. After entering the house and closing the door, Liang's father and Liang Ziqiang talked to Zhong Yongrui about building a house soon.
"That's great. Do you want to keep the old house site or get a new one?"
I don’t know if it was because he accepted Liang Ziqiang’s cigarette or because they had a good relationship, but Zhong Yongrui was quite enthusiastic and took the initiative to ask.
Liang Ziqiang and his son told each other the specific location of the land in Juzipo that they had their eyes on.
"No problem, there's nothing wrong with that. If it involves farmland or something, then it can't be done. Just do it normally there! You can start the construction while we report to the town for approval. It won't take long!"
After finishing the business and chatting for a while, the father and son didn't stay for too long and got up to go back.
As soon as I walked out of the Zhong family’s door, I heard a burst of firecrackers in the village.
Judging from the direction, it seems to be Deng Zhaocai's home.
Openly setting off firecrackers to celebrate Yang Xi and Yang Qing’s deeds, this might be something that other people might just talk about, but Deng Zhaocai really did it…
Burst
