Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Technology Failure
Just forget it if you can’t remember.
He Junxia cast aside the distracting thoughts in her mind. She would remember the important things sooner or later anyway, and it didn't matter if she couldn't remember the unimportant things.
Not long after, He Junqiu came back with a sour face. He Junxia asked, "What's wrong?"
He Junqiu angrily said, "That Luo Yangbo is crazy. He and I have nothing to do with each other, but he insisted on going with me and even grabbed my bowl. I took it back and just left it there, saying, 'You're tired, I'll help you.' Aunt Guihua, who was passing by, even thought he was my boyfriend."
He Junxia's expression turned cold, and he clenched his fists. He subtly changed the subject and told them what he had seen and heard in the provincial capital. When they learned that He Chengfeng was doing well, they were finally relieved.
After the family finished their meal, it was already dark.
He Junxia opened a can of goat milk and meat for the two puppies. Listening to the puppies' happy licking sounds, he looked up at the sky. The moon quietly hung in the night sky, casting a hazy white veil. The twinkling stars formed a romantic sea of stars, which was exceptionally bright and shining.
Everything seems to have returned to childhood, but things and people have changed.
He Junxia rubbed the two puppies who were eating happily, returned to the living room, took out the medicine box and silver needles, disinfected the needles with a lit candle and began to treat the blisters on his feet.
Big blisters spread from the toes to the heels. They were not very painful, but they looked very scary.
Zeng Xiuping's eyes were red.
When He Junxia saw her red eyes, she thought of a saying that an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. It turned out that He Chengfeng was so fond of crying because she had inherited Zeng Xiuping's true skills.
Of course, he would never dare to say these words out loud, as he would definitely be beaten.
He Junxia pricked the blisters one by one and applied medicine. The wounds were healed in a short while, not giving others time to feel sad.
He Junqiu showed a look of admiration.
Her brother is a real man!
But even a real man cannot change the reality that he can’t fall asleep if he sleeps too much.
He Junxia tilted the burning candle, dripped a few drops of wax on the desk, and then placed the candle on it to secure it.
In the dim flickering candlelight, He Junxia took out the old medical book that He Chengcai had found last time and copied it while reading.
Although his memory seems to be much better than before, not to say that he can remember everything he sees, but at least he can remember it after reading it several times. However, a good memory is not as good as a good pen, and copying and taking notes at the same time is the best way to deepen the impression.
——This medical book is a formal medical book, published by the People's Publishing House. The book introduces many old prescriptions and folk prescriptions that are simple to operate and convenient to use. It will be his loss if he forgets any of them.
He Junxia wrote down and copied, wrote down and copied, and before he knew it, the candle had become half as short as it should be, while the wax at the bottom that held the candle in place kept accumulating.
I don't know how much time passed before the candle burned out, the candlelight disappeared, the room fell into complete darkness, and then a light snoring sounded.
the next day
He Junxia returned to work after his vacation. His appearance attracted the attention of the villagers, and everyone asked him about the situation in the provincial capital.
Except for the questions he didn't know, He Junxia told everything truthfully. After hearing what he said, people immediately calmed down their curiosity - Oh my god, a bus ride costs fifty or sixty yuan, it's a rip-off.
He Gen smacked his lips. "The provincial capital is too terrible. With our salary, we probably won't be able to stay here for more than a few days before running back in disgrace."
Well, not really.
Despite the high expenses in other areas, the food prices in the provincial capital are kept very low. A pound of pork costs only one dollar and fifty cents, which is fifty cents lower than in the county.
And 60 yuan is for two round trips, which means 30 yuan per trip. Well, it's still very expensive. Who told you that outsiders don't know the way and don't have a navigation system to take a taxi? Maybe it's just a one-time deal. If not you, who will be cheated?
According to He Chengfeng's mother-in-law, if local residents of the provincial capital were to take the bus, the price for this trip should be able to be kept within 25 yuan.
What a heartless person.
He Junxia silently closed her mouth to explain the provincial capital.
He and He Gen chatted and laughed as they came to the place where they would work today. During the time, he saw many new faces who had not been to Hejia Village before he left.
He bumped Hegen's shoulder: "What's going on?"
He Gen remembered that he had just returned and didn't know about this, so he explained: "The chicken farm and pig farm have been built, the person in charge transferred a group of people to the farm, and also hired a group of new people who didn't pass the internship period. The county sent another 20 people down."
Hogen muttered unhappily, "They just want to slack off and make them do the work over again, and they think we're targeting them."
He Junxia: "The person in charge will definitely not let them disrupt the order of the farm. There is still a probation period, right? At worst, they will just eliminate those who slack off at work."
He Gen: "Who knows how many people with connections the county will send over then?"
He Junxia patted his shoulder and said, "We'll talk about it later. By the way, which group is Luo Yangbo in?"
He Gen: "He's your father's subordinate. He's Xiaoqiu's classmate, and he's pretty good-looking. I see he always likes to talk to Xiaoqiu. There's something going on between them."
He Juanxia snorted coldly: "Gold and jade on the outside, rotten cotton on the inside. My sister doesn't like that kind of stuff. She said that boy always pesters her and it annoys her."
He Gen laughed: "How does the saying go, a gentleman seeks a beautiful lady. Xiao Qiu is already a grown-up girl."
He Junxia sneered: "If he is really a gentleman, I won't care. What's that kid? Go back and tell my sister-in-law to let the girls in our village stay away from him and don't be deceived."
He Junxia told He Junqiu what he learned yesterday, and He Gen frowned.
This incident was not a big deal, but the information it revealed was enough to make families with girls of marriageable age stay away from Luo Yangbo. After all, no one wanted to find a difficult mother-in-law for their daughter.
Moreover, the role played by Luo Yangbo in this matter is also very despicable. To put it nicely, he lacks responsibility. To put it bluntly, he is cowardly. He can't even handle small things, but how can you expect him to handle big things?
We are all from Hejia Village. It would be fine if we didn’t know, but if we knew, we would never let the girls in the village jump into the fire pit.
He Gen patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let my wife have a good chat with those aunts."
He Junxia smiled: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
He hadn't originally intended to treat a young boy who had just reached adulthood like this. Although he was a little annoying, he hadn't done anything harmful.
Maybe he just felt uncomfortable in a strange place and wanted to seek some help from his former classmates. After all, He Chengcai was his immediate superior.
But after just a few days of Luo Yangbo's arrival, He Gen felt that He Junqiu and he were a couple, and He Junqiu's complaints when he brought back the food yesterday made He Junxia think more.
His former neighbor's sister is a living example.
My neighbor's sister's father is the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau and her mother is a cadre of the Women's Federation. She is the only daughter in the family and is spoiled. She is beautiful and has good academic performance. She easily got into a 985 university and has a smooth future.
Then she fell in love with a Phoenix man because he was good to her and was the best man to her in her life except for her father.
However, the Phoenix Man's family is poor, he is not good-looking, and he is not tall. His mother is mentally ill. He relies on his four sisters to earn money to support his college education. He is even unwilling to get a student loan or go out to work part-time.
The only advantage is that I was admitted to the same 985 university as my neighbor’s sister.
The neighbor's sister's parents couldn't understand what was happening, so in order to make their daughter wake up, they introduced her to many young, successful and good-looking boys. They never allowed any Phoenix men to come to their house, and even threatened to commit suicide to prevent her from getting married.
Who knew that she agreed on the surface, but came home a few months later with a big belly, refusing to have an abortion, forcing her family to marry her anyway.
The neighbor's sister's parents said they were ashamed to face people and threatened to cut off ties with her. They hurriedly sold their house and moved away.
At that time, He Junxia was only in high school. She didn't quite understand the twists and turns in the lives of adults. She was still a young man who longed for love. When she saw her neighbor's sister and her husband, she just thought that they were a beautiful woman and a beast. Fortunately, the beast was nice to the beautiful woman, and they would definitely live happily after they found love.
He expressed his thoughts, and his father laughed. However, his mother looked down upon the neighbor's sister's behavior and said that she had lived a good life for too long and had to endure hardships. She would definitely regret it within three years.
In fact, in less than two years, the beautiful and gentle neighbor sister had changed her appearance. She was selling snacks with a skinny little girl on her back. Her clothes were wrinkled and she looked several years older than her mother.
If her husband's mistress hadn't come over and called her name, He Junxia wouldn't have recognized her. You know, the neighbor's sister was once a famous beauty in the neighborhood. She could dance, play the piano, and paint. She was so talented and everyone praised her.
I don’t know if it was because he was too young or because she had no one to talk to, but after He Junxia helped her neighbor sister drive away the mistress, she started to confide in him.
After her parents agreed to let her marry the Phoenix Man, they took away and sold all the houses and cars under her name, and severed all ties with her, with no contact for a year.
The Phoenix Man lost the house and car he had almost gotten, and after seeing that his neighbor's sister's parents had really given up on her and stopped providing support, and that she had another child, his true nature gradually revealed itself. His sisters, seeing that she only had a daughter, wanted to give her away and urged her to have a second child immediately.
The neighbor's sister suddenly realized her mistake and wanted to divorce the Phoenix man. However, although they could get married at will, they could not get divorced at will. The Phoenix man asked her to give him 200,000 yuan before he agreed to the divorce.
That was the first time He Junxia witnessed the horror of marriage, and the reason why he was so against Luo Yangbo was the second sentence of the neighbor sister.
She said that after she came to her senses and contacted several college classmates, she suddenly realized that she did not like Phoenix Men at first, and there were many suitors around her who were better than him.
It’s just that the Phoenix Man clung to her tightly, and without her knowledge, he pretended to be her boyfriend and drove away those suitors with various means.
Her classmates always encouraged and teased her, saying things like, "How envious of you!" and "He's so nice to you." Gradually, she fell into the trap set by them, and was entangled tighter and tighter in the spider web until she was completely trapped.
From the beginning, she was prey.
Luo Yangbo's actions are so similar to that of the Phoenix Man.
The neighbor's sister's parents have a high social status and can deal with the Phoenix man and pull their daughter out of the quagmire. But if He Junqiu gets into trouble, who will help her when her parents get old?
There was a cold light in He Junxia's eyes.
Since you dare to use such disgusting means on He Junqiu, don't blame him for retaliating with the same disgusting means.
He Junxia waited patiently for a while, watching coldly as Luo Yangbo's pursuit of He Junqiu gradually became apparent, and he kept trying to please him, Zeng Xiuping and He Chengcai. Seeing that everyone in the village thought he and He Junqiu were in love, he finally waited for a good opportunity.
There was no work that afternoon, so a group of people crowded into the cafeteria and leisurely had lunch. He Junqiu and Xu Li ran to the cafeteria to invite a few girls they were good friends with to go to the mountain to pick fir mushrooms.
Luo Yangbo immediately suggested going with them. When the other people in the cafeteria heard the voice, they immediately showed expressions of wanting to join in the fun.
He Junqiu looked very embarrassed. He Junxia stood up and walked in front of her. She took out 100 Singapore dollars and returned it to him. She said helplessly, "Luo Yangbo, stop pestering my sister. Although you are classmates, our family really can't do this. Otherwise, it would be unfair to others."
His voice was not loud and his tone was full of helplessness, but it was loud enough for people nearby to hear clearly, and everyone was stunned.
It turns out that Luo Yangbo has been sticking to He Junqiu not to pursue her, but to ask their family to do something, and it is unfair to others?
Big news.
How could it be unfair to others? It must be related to the assessment of the interns. You know, He Junqiu's parents are both team leaders and can vote to decide whether newcomers stay or leave.
Luo Yangbo was also confused.
He tried to refute: "Xiao Xia brother, it's not that I don't have it, I..."
Seeing that he was still arguing, He Junxia said seriously, "My parents have already made it clear to you that as long as you work hard, they will definitely vote in favor of you. If you want to rent a larger house in the village and bring your family over, we've agreed to help you find one."
"But you can't let my parents deliberately hold up other people's assessments just because your cousins don't have jobs. What do you think of my parents, and what do you think of the farm?"
"Just because my sister is soft-hearted and keeps playing pitiful in front of her, I asked my parents to talk to the two team leaders and squeeze one of them out so that you can be transferred to the farm. How can you be so naive? I, her biological son, still have to work in the fields."
He Junxia's words were like thunder, shocking everyone in the cafeteria. They couldn't help but look at Luo Yangbo with strange eyes.
Especially the few newcomers who had a good relationship with him all looked unhappy. They regarded Luo Yangbo as a friend, but Luo Yangbo regarded them as fools and secretly wanted to squeeze them out to make room for his cousins.
After being bombarded with accusations, Luo Yangbo finally reacted and clutched the money, furiously saying, "You're talking nonsense! It was obviously you. You said you'd only agree to marry your sister to me if I gave you 100 yuan."
He Junxia gave the best performance of her life.
He looked at Luo Yangbo as if he was mentally ill and said, "If you want to find an excuse, find a good one. 100 yuan is not enough for my trip to the city to visit my aunt."
Someone chuckled and said, "Xiao Xia spent 60 yuan on a bus to the provincial capital, and the things she brought with her cost more than 100 yuan. And she's still trying to get 100 yuan from you. You're ridiculous."
No one believed what Luo Yangbo said.
He Junxia is well-known in the village for loving her sister. Which girl doesn't envy her for having a good brother? Besides, he earns 80 yuan a month. Is he crazy to marry his sister off for 100 yuan?
He Junxia didn't want to get entangled with Luo Yangbo, so he turned around and said, "Xiao Qiu, you guys go have fun, but be careful. Don't listen to Luo Yangbo saying anything about his family being in a bad situation. If their family is really in a bad situation, they can come to our village and deliberately make you soft-hearted."
He Junqiu quickly left with a few good friends.
He Junxia looked at Luo Yangbo coldly: "Our family would never do anything wrong. If you have any plans, go find someone else. From now on, our two families should go their separate ways. Don't get too close."
After saying that, he left without caring about Luo Yangbo's face turning pale and blue.
Luo Yangbo tried to explain to others, but his accusations against He Junxia were useless. Instead, he seemed angry and embarrassed as if his thoughts had been exposed.
After all, one is a stranger, the other is a good kid who grew up in his eyes, one is in competition with him, and the other is not in competition with him. The two team leaders are also well-known good guys in the village.
Moreover, Zeng Xiuping had asked the villagers many times if anyone was willing to rent out the house. He Chengcai had several apprentices from the security department, and he was also He Qiangguo's cousin. The couple also had a good reputation with the person in charge, so they were indeed capable of doing those things.
With all the conditions in place, it goes without saying for the villagers and newlyweds who to believe.
After that day, Luo Yangbo was gradually excluded by everyone, and his increasingly sinister expression and the sinister look he always gave people made everyone confirm their suspicions.
Luo Yangbo collapsed.
He didn't understand why He Junxia wanted to harm him, why no one was willing to believe him, and he didn't understand why everything was planned so well, He Junqiu had already softened his heart, and he was about to enter the He family, so how could he suddenly end up like this.
He is a reborn person, the son of heaven!
What are these country bumpkins who know nothing?
Haha, in another month, in another month, they will ask to thank him.
He will definitely not let He Junxia go!
-----------------------
The author has something to say: The best way to change the subject is to bring up a new one, and involve the interests of those who are just looking to stir up trouble. Luo used those seemingly reasonable actions to make others mistakenly think that he was in love with Xiaoqiu. Xiaoxia used the same method to describe his seemingly reasonable actions as asking for help, so that he could also taste the pain of being unable to explain himself.
PS: This is a family collaboration, not Xiaoxia fighting alone.
