Chapter 59
The captain didn't stay long, not because he was too busy, but because he couldn't sit here and listen to other people talking.
Xu Nian'er and the other two carried bamboo baskets and prepared to go out to cut grass for the pigs. Su Wenchen did not go out. He found a place to lie down, spread out a notebook and covered his face with it, and took a nap.
Fang Ming and Fang Chaorong first looked at the twenty wild boars they raised, praising the pigs for being energetic and seeming to have gained a little weight compared to before. They also asked Jiang Mi how her life was going at the educated youth site.
Jiang Mi smiled: "It's pretty good here. Raising pigs is relaxing and there's no hard work involved. The educated youth camp is bustling with activity and life is pretty good."
Yang Jiahe is also here, and she really wants to find him to ask about the meaning of the lotus root jade pendant.
Fang Ming: "You are so smart and clever, you can live well anywhere."
After looking at the pigpen, Jiang Mi showed Fang Ming the roast suckling pig and Xiaobai.
Fang Ming said, "It's only been a few days, and the little wild boar has grown a lot, and the little wolfdog has grown a bit too."
Fang Chaorong: "Have you chosen a name?"
Jiang Mi smiled and picked up Xiaobai. "This one is called Xiaobai, and that one is called Roasted Suckling Pig."
Fang Chaorong couldn't help laughing: "Save it for roast suckling pig later?"
Jiang Mi: "Maybe I really can't bear to let it go. I've watched it grow up. When it's a little bigger and can take care of itself, I'll send it back to the mountain."
Wild boars should live in the mountains.
Fang Chaorong: "It's the little wild boar's luck to meet you."
Jiang Mi: "Roast suckling pig is our lucky star. Without it, we might not be able to find the pig farm on the mountain."
He recounted the story of his discovery of the roast suckling pig.
Fang Chaorong sighed: "That's true."
Jiang Mi: "Uncle Fang, how come you have time to come? Has Xiao Kaiyang's matter been resolved? Has Sister Xie Bing returned to her hometown?"
There are many questions I want to know.
Fang Ming talked about the things happening in Xiaojiazhai.
Xie Bing and his companions have returned to their hometown. The wives and children of the bad guys in Xiaojiazhai have been found. Now is not the time to let the disaster affect the descendants. They will all be sent to the farm for labor reform.
The bodies buried in the back mountain were also found by police dogs. There were five dead people in total. The earliest one was killed a year ago and his body had already rotted. The later one was killed a month ago and his body had not yet completely rotted. After forensic examination, they were all girls in their teens and twenties.
The crimes committed by Xiao Kaiyang and his men were originally punishable by death. After finding these bodies, they really wanted to kill him several times.
Under these evidences, Xiao Kaiyang's defense was powerless, but the Feng family and the workers, peasants and soldiers
He refused to admit what had happened, and even more so, he refused to admit that he had any relationship with Tanzhuang.
It is difficult for the Feng family to overturn the verdict. The incident happened too long ago and the evidence has long been destroyed. Moreover, there are not many people left in the Feng family alive.
Xiao Kaiyang kept his mouth shut and was dragged out for several martial arts fights. Several of his ribs were broken and his leg was lame, but he still refused to admit anything.
Cao Gaoyi, however, was less tight-lipped. He admitted that the quotas for the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University were manipulated by the Revolutionary Committee, and that they were the ones who basically made the decisions. However, he was unaware of the Tanzhuang situation. Xiao Kaiyang was in charge of many matters, and he was so cautious that he kept it a secret.
He accused Huang Yongjin of being a traitor, saying that all the things in the house were given by Huang Yongjin. He hated Huang Yongjin the most now. If it weren't for Huang Yongjin's inability to do things, how could he have ended up in such a miserable situation.
Fang Ming transferred Xiao Kaiyang's daughter Xiao Ya'an from a farm in another county and sent her directly to a coal mine for transformation.
Xiao Ya'an certainly didn't suffer. She ate well, slept well, didn't have to do heavy work, and could even bully others. But it certainly wasn't as comfortable as back in the county. Every day, she looked forward to her father killing Jiang Mi and bringing her back when the rumors died down.
When someone came to pick her up, she was very happy, thinking that she could go back to her father. But she never expected that she would be sent to the coal mine, and this time, no one would take care of her.
She made a big fuss, crying and waiting for her father to come and save her. When she learned that Xiao Kaiyang was now in prison waiting to be shot, she collapsed.
In the future, what awaits her is endless work. If she wants to eat, drink and sleep well, she can stop dreaming.
Fang Ming naturally told this story to Xiao Kaiyang. Xiao Kaiyang doted on his daughter. When he learned that the woman's life was so miserable, tears welled up in his eyes. "Ya'an is innocent. She knows nothing."
Fang Ming: "None of you Xiao family members are innocent."
Xiao Kaiyang regretted it. He should have killed Jiang Mi, the troublemaker, at all costs from the beginning. It was Jiang Mi who was behind everything.
Xiao Kaiyang and others have been sentenced and will leave with the Gao family at the end of the month.
Unfortunately, Xiao Kaiyang was determined to protect Tan Zhuang and did not explain anything related to Tan Zhuang. In a word, Tan Zhuang was innocent.
However, all the places for this year's Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University will be invalidated and a new selection will be conducted.
Tan Zhuang’s son will not be able to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
Jiang Mi couldn't understand why Xiao Kaiyang wanted to protect Tanzhuang, unless there was a vested interest between them, what could that interest be?
Xiao Kaiyang must die. Xiao Ya'an went to the coal mine. Is he hoping
It would definitely be impossible for Tanzhuang to rescue her.
She asked, "Uncle Fang, are the Tanzhuang family members related to Xiao Kaiyang? Are there any overlapping connections?"
Fang Ming shook his head: "No."
Jiang Mi: "How many children are there in Tanzhuang? How old are they?"
Fang Ming: "Children? I have three children in total. The eldest son is preparing to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, the second son is in high school, and the youngest son is five years old this year."
Jiang Mi thought about it for a while, but still had no idea, so she had to give up for the time being.
But this Tan Zhuang is jumping around outside like a time bomb. She hopes that Tan Zhuang was just bribed and has nothing to do with Xiao Kaiyang.
Fang Mingdao: "After you have worked for three years, I can recommend you to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University."
There are strict requirements for admission to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. The candidates must be workers, poor and lower-middle peasants, PLA soldiers and young cadres with good political thinking, good health, more than three years of practical experience, around 20 years old, and an education equivalent to junior high school or above.
Jiang Mi smiled: "Thank you, Uncle Fang. You and Brother Chaorong are here because of Aunt Chang, right?"
Three years later, she took the college entrance examination.
The smile on Fang Ming's face faded a little: "Mi Mi, I really don't know how to apologize to you. It's my fault that I didn't handle it well."
Jiang Mi shook her head: "No need to apologize, I didn't suffer any loss, and I don't blame Uncle Fang. It's just that in the future, maybe it would be better to have less contact with him. I promised Aunt Fang."
Fang Ming sighed, "Mimi, I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for Mr. Qin's trust."
Jiang Mi: "Uncle Fang did a great job. Without you, it would not have been so easy for my eldest sister to return to the city."
Fang Chaorong: "Mimi, my dad is planning to divorce my mom."
Jiang Mi was shocked, "Divorce?"
Divorce was so rare in the 1970s that there might not be a single couple getting divorced in a county.
She looked at Fang Ming with complicated eyes, "I shouldn't have gone to see Uncle Fang."
Fang Ming: "Don't think too much, it has nothing to do with you. Do you dare to think about it? Chang Qian actually planned to let Le Rong marry Cao Gaoyi's son in order to get me in touch with the Revolutionary Committee." He smiled self-deprecatingly: "If it weren't for the incident with the Revolutionary Committee, maybe that day, she would have directly informed me that I would become the father-in-law of the son of the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee. What kind of people are in the Revolutionary Committee! She's still trying to get in.
She and I should have divorced fifteen years ago. I shouldn't have changed my job and returned home. I should have divorced her cleanly and quickly.
Now that I think of divorce, I am more anxious than ever.
Everyone feels relaxed and comfortable.”
Jiang Mi didn't know what to say. She could even guess why Fang Ming had changed his career in the first place. She and Fang Ming were of different generations, and it was Old Man Qin who asked Fang Ming to take care of her. Moreover, she didn't interact much with Fang Ming, and even then, they were always accompanied by someone.
Even with this, they were able to kill their group.
Fang Ming: "Mimi, if you have any problems, just come to the county to find me, or you can find your brother Chaorong."
Fang Chaorong said, "I'm in the forest farm security department."
Jiang Mi smiled and nodded. Fang Ming and Fang Chaorong stayed for a while and then left. This time they came mainly to apologize for Chang Qian's matter.
Not long after the two left, Pippi came skipping over with a bamboo tube cup still hanging around his neck.
Jiang Mi: "Pipi, why are you so late today?"
Pippi put the bamboo tube cup into Jiang Mi's hand. Jiang Mi rewarded it by eating a few handfuls of space grass, took off the cup, and fed the roast suckling pig with milk.
I also left a small half for Xiaobai and added some more space water.
When work ended at noon, Jiang Mi did not go back with the other educated youth. She was waiting for Yang Jiahe.
Yang Jiahe was wearing a deep blue sweatshirt today, which looked particularly good. Jiang Mi jumped off the swing, walked to his side, and held his hand. "Brother Jiahe, what does lotus root mean?"
Her little hands are not fat, they look white and slender, but they feel soft to the touch, and once you hold them, you don't want to let go.
Yang Jiahe: "The lotus root has many holes inside, which symbolizes abundant wealth and smooth sailing. I think you will like it."
Jiang Mi: !!! “Isn’t it still a connection?”
Although it is good to have a lot of money and everything goes smoothly, she is not short of money, but she is short of confession.
Yang Jiahe lowered his eyes to look at her, curled his lips and chuckled, "Is there another meaning?"
She took her hand back and refused to let Yang Jiahe hold it. "Thank you."
Yang Jiahe: "You won't even let me hold your hand?"
Jiang Mi took a step back, sat back on the swing, and snorted softly: "I really like the money coming in."
Yang Jiahe walked over with a smile, reaching out to hold her small hand holding the lotus root jade carving: "A perfect match made in heaven, to be together forever. The lotus root symbolizes a lasting connection, a harmonious marriage, and many children."
Jiang Mi looked down at the lotus root in her hand and became even happier.
Yang Jiahe held her in his palm as if he was holding the treasure of his true love.
"Yang Jiahe, I like him very much."
Like this little lotus
Ou, also likes Yang Jiahe.
She smiled happily. Yang Jiahe lifted her hand and kissed her palm through the small lotus root jade pendant.
Jiang Mi's heart began to pound uncontrollably again, and a tingling sensation spread from the palm of her hand, clearly through the jade pendant. She reached out and tugged at Yang Jiahe's clothes, looking up at him.
Yang Jiahe: "I like it too." He moved closer to her, Jiang Mi's breathing almost stopped, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.
Yang Jiahe's fingers fell on the red mole at the corner of Jiang Mi's eye and rubbed it gently.
They were too close, and Yang Jiahe's breath almost fell on her face. This breath seemed to have magic, which almost drained Jiang Mi's strength. She clutched Yang Jiahe's clothes with both hands. If she hadn't leaned on the swing, she would have fallen down.
Yang Jiahe: "Mimi, there's some dirt under your eyes. Why are you closing your eyes?"
Jiang Mi opened her eyes, pursed her lips and glared at him, then reached out to push him away.
Yang Jiahe smiled and picked her up from the swing. Jiang Mi's legs felt weak, and she didn't want to be teased by him like this all the time. She fiercely pulled the clothes on his chest, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the neck.
This guy is so tall that I can't even kiss his chin.
After the kiss, he turned and left.
Yang Jiahe reached out and took Jiang Mi's hand, pulling her back, hugging her gently and whispering, "Mi Mi."
After a while, he let her go, took his hand, carried the roasted suckling pig, called Xiaobai, and left together.
Along the way, the two of them didn't speak. When they arrived at the educated youth site, Jiang Mi took Xiaobai and the roast suckling pig into the site.
It's really too serious to be true.
After lunch, Jiang Mi climbed onto the kang to take a nap. She didn't sleep well yesterday and was very sleepy. This time, she slept particularly soundly and went to work after waking up.
She and Ji Yingying were picking pig grass at the foot of the mountain, and they met a group of children from the village who were picking stones in a shallow stream. Jiang Mi and Ji Yingying took off their shoes, rolled up their trouser legs and went down to pick up the stones. The river was full of pebbles, which were relatively smooth and did not hurt their feet.
Jiang Mi picked up two pretty ones and put them in her bag. She played with them for a while, picked some pig grass, and then went to see Yang Jiahe.
Yang Jiahe was drinking water. He was also using a bamboo cup, which looked very similar to hers. She ran over and wanted to see Yang Jiahe's cup.
Yang Jiahe raised the cup and didn't show it to her.
Jiang Mi: "I'll just take a look!"
Yang Jiahe screwed the lid on the cup, but still didn't let her see it. He was 1.88 meters tall, but he still raised the cup above his head.
Even if I jump, I can’t reach it!
"It's just an ordinary cup, nothing to see."
She stepped on Yang Jiahe's feet and reached out to grab his arm. "If you don't let me see, I will climb on top of you and take the cup away from you."
Yang Jiahe:!
After a while of arguing, Yang Jiahe finally gave the cup to Jiang Mi.
Jiang Mi looked at Yang Jiahe's red ears with a very bright smile. She looked at the bamboo tube cup, which was about the same size as hers, but the pattern on it was not beads, but lotus leaves and lotus flowers, which was particularly beautiful.
Jiang Mi confidently searched for a while and found the word "mi" on a lotus. It was extremely difficult to find, almost impossible to find.
Jiang Mi unscrewed the lid of the cup again, and there was also a lotus inside.
She smiled brightly, quietly added some interstellar water to the cup, screwed the lid back on, and returned it to him. "What does lotus mean? Does it also mean that there is still a connection?"
Yang Jiahe held her hand and whispered, "It symbolizes beautiful love."
Jiang Mi smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Could it be that you carved the lotus root jade pendant?"
Yang Jiahe: "You guessed it right again, how come you are so smart."
Jiang Mi tilted her head to look at him: "How come you are so powerful?" She pulled her hand out of his palm, waved at him, and then ran towards Ji Yingying.
Ji Yingying: "You guys..."
Jiang Mi: "Yeah, we're dating."
Ji Yingying smiled: "You are very happy."
The day passed extremely quickly. In the evening, Yang Jiahe brought two bottles of wine to the educated youth center for dinner.
The dinner was very rich, with spicy rabbit meat and fried eel, as well as sauerkraut and pork soup. The staple food remained the same, still two-grain flour pancakes.
Jiang Shuyin didn't come back.
After the meal was served, everyone took their seats.
The male educated youth drank wine, and the female educated youth drank orange juice. They had a very happy meal. Xiaobai got several pieces of pork and rabbit meat. He was a small hero. He drank a bottle of grain wine and left the other bottle unopened.
Jiang Mi kept the bottle and gave it to Yang Jiahe to make medicinal wine.
He gave me several ginseng roots, and I had to taste them.
Jiang Miao, Hu Zi and others took Xiao Bai out to find a rabbit's nest again, and brought Xiao Bai a very big rabbit hind leg.
Xiaobai is full!
Jiang Mi was also full, so she went out to play with Yang Jiahe. Before going out, she quietly brushed her teeth, rinsed her mouth, and washed her face.
After applying a layer of face cream, he hummed a little tune and poured a glass of water.
He Zhaodi: "Why don't you wash your hair too?"
Jiang Mi: "People are waiting outside. Does washing your hair take a bit long?" She waved at He Zhaodi and the others: "I'm leaving now."
He Zhaodi, "She's still brushing her teeth. She must have gone out to kiss."
Jiang Mi: "How can you be so filthy-minded? Our friendship is pure and revolutionary. I'm just afraid that when we talk later, we'll smell like meat."
He Zhaodi: "Meat smells the best."
Jiang Mi ate a candy and said, "Candy smells the best." She threw a handful of candy to He Zhaodi and others, then ran out happily.
In the yard, Ding Ankang and Cheng Yuze were reading poetry. Their hobby now is reading poetry, but they didn't dare to do it by the river for fear of being surrounded by aunties reading poetry.
Ding Ankang looked at Jiang Mi who ran away and said with emotion: "This is the taste of love."
Cheng Yuze was horrified: "What do you mean? You like Jiang Mi?"
This doesn't mean to say that Jiang Mi is bad. Jiang Mi is beautiful, gentle and rich. She is the dream lover of many people. However, you can only admire her from afar. When Jiang Mi gets really angry, she is very scary.
Ding Ankang was horrified: "Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you see the atmosphere between Jiang Mi and Yang Jiahe? I'm talking about the two of them."
Cheng Yuze: "Both of them???"
Ding Ankang: "When we were eating, the look in our eyes was so strong that we wanted to say something but couldn't. Oh, where is my gentle girl?" He looked into the distance, "When will you meet me again?"
When Jiang Mi came out, Yang Jiahe was standing at the gate of the yard holding a lantern.
Jiang Mi: "Lantern?"
Yang Jiahe handed the lantern over. Jiang Mi took a closer look and realized that it was not a lantern, but a bag of fireflies made into the shape of a small lantern.
Jiang Mi was particularly surprised: "You caught it in just a short while? How did you do it?"
There are no fireflies in the village, they are at the foot of the mountain.
Yang Jiahe smiled: "It's dark, with a lantern."
He gave Yang Jia fifty cents and asked him to run and catch it, which was just the right amount for him.
Jiang Mi held a lantern made of fireflies and looked at him with a smile: "Brother Jiahe, will you always be like this?"
Yang Jiahe: "Maybe not. Good jade is hard to find. Even if you give me a piece every day, I can't find it even if I search the mountains."
Jiang Mi burst out laughing and reached out to hold his hand: "It can be a jade pendant, a firefly, or a grilled fish or chicken." She thought for a moment and said, "I can also...
It’s a cluster of red beans in the cup lid.”
Yang Jiahe held her hand tightly: "Yeah."
The two walked hand in hand along the river, and if they saw someone, they would quickly let go of each other's hands. It was very exciting.
Jiang Mi: "Let's go to the county tomorrow? I'll go and deliver the thank-you letter. If I don't go, people will definitely think I forgot about it."
Yang Jiahe: "Are they the two comrades from the oil mill?"
Jiang Mi: "And the comrades from the state-owned restaurant."
Yang Jiahe rubbed Jiang Mi's head: "Yeah."
Jiang Mi looked up at him and said, "Why do you always touch my head? Is it because it's convenient for you to put your hands on my head?"
Yang Jiahe smiled, "Why would I think that? I just think you're cute."
Jiang Mi stood on tiptoe and, with Yang Jiahe's cooperation, touched Yang Jiahe's hair.
His hair is soft and feels very good, very comfortable to touch.
But after touching her twice, Yang Jiahe stopped her.
Jiang Mi walked beside him holding a lantern, and for a moment she hoped that they could stay like this forever.
The two did not go to look for Jiang Miao and others, but just wandered around aimlessly. The moon was covered by dark clouds, and the sky became darker and darker.
The fireflies appear particularly bright.
Jiang Mi asked, "If someone in the distance saw this lantern, would they think it was a ghostly light?"
She waved the lantern, "The will-o'-the-wisp is dancing."
Yang Jiahe smiled: "Then tomorrow morning, everyone will have gossip to talk about again."
She held the firefly and approached Yang Jiahe, "Brother Jiahe."
Yang Jiahe stretched out his hands and held her and the firefly lantern in his arms, and gradually approached. The distance between the two was very close. This time, the surroundings were very noisy, with the sounds of frogs and insects, drowning out the heartbeats of the two.
Yang Jiahe reached out and covered Jiang Mi's eyes, "Don't look at me like that. He can't help it.
He let go of her hand, took Jiang Mi in his arm and walked back. The two of them walked towards the team. If Yang Jiahe's breathing had not been very unstable, she would have thought that Yang Jiahe was dying.
He is so patient that he won’t even kiss me.
When they arrived at the entrance of the educated youth center, Yang Jiahe took Jiang Mi's hand and placed it to his lips, and a warm lip print was pressed on the palm of her hand.
Jiang Mi felt like she was being electrocuted, her head felt heavy and her feet felt lightheaded. All she could see was Yang Jiahe and the kiss.
Yang Jiahe patted Jiang Mi's hair and said, "Come in.
Jiang Mi walked in dazed and then realized
She was thinking, is it meaningless for her to go out and brush her teeth today?
When they arrived at the educated youth center, Miaomiao and Xiaobai had not returned yet, and Jiang Shuyin had not returned either. She was sitting on the edge of the kang.
He Zhaodi: "Jiang Mi, you're back? Pretty quick. Is that a lantern you're holding?"
Jiang Mi: “Fireflies.
He Zhaodi sighed, "Yang Jiahe can actually catch fireflies to cheer up the little girl!
Chen Xi and Ji Yingying also came to see it. It was really beautiful and there was no girl who didn't like it. Jiang Mi hung the fireflies outside the mosquito net.
Every second look makes me happy.
After a while, Jiang Shuyin came back, pushing a brand new bicycle.
Yu Da: “Did you buy it new?
Jiang Shuyin parked the bicycle under the eaves and locked it, "Well, with a bicycle, it will be convenient to go to the county in the future.
He Zhaodi and Yu Nian'er also ran out to see, "Fuck, this is expensive.
There are not many families in the brigade who own bicycles.
Chen Xi: “I’ve left food for you in the pot.
Jiang Shuyin didn't want to heat up the rice, so she said to He Zhaodi, "Heat up the rice for me, and I'll give you two pieces of chocolate.
He Zhaodi happily agreed and went into the kitchen to heat up the rice.
When she arrived at the dormitory, she saw the lantern hanging under Jiang Mi's mosquito net and said softly, "Cousin, is this a lantern? Hang it here to prevent it from catching fire.
Chen Xi: “It’s a firefly, it’s okay.
Jiang Shuyin: "Fireflies?
Jiang Mi smiled: “So, don’t worry about the fire.
Jiang Shuyin:……!
