Chapter 79 Lian Xiuran Returns to the City
Mrs. Wu was so frightened by Accountant Jin's behavior that she couldn't speak for a long time and even stopped crying.
How can I not be scared? Accountant Jin's look of despair and hopelessness not only frightened Mrs. Wu, but also the people around who were watching the fun.
Someone immediately stepped forward and grabbed Accountant Jin to persuade him: "Old Jin, what are you doing? It's unlucky to talk about death all the time.
If a grown man like you falls down, what will happen to your family? ”
Passerby A: "Yes, yes, everyone has their own problems. If everyone is like you, how can we live our lives? It's just a hurdle, right? Let's grit our teeth and get over it. Show some manliness."
Passerby B: "You can't be blamed for this. There are many different kinds of people. They are all surnamed Jin. Other children wouldn't be like this. It can only be said that Jin Bei was born with this kind of temper and can't change it. How can you blame everything on yourself?"
Passerby C: "Yes, yes, if there is something to say, let's sit down and talk it over slowly. Why do you have to do this? Sister-in-law Wu, you are such a fool. The police station has already investigated the matter thoroughly. If your son had not been involved, how could he have been arrested? How can you put the blame on Jin Bei? This is unreasonable."
People around were talking about it, and one by one they came up to persuade them to reconcile. Accountant Jin's heated head finally calmed down a little. The captain did it again, and the fire captain hurried over.
He has to come. After all, it was he who brought Jin Bei together with Wu Jiancai. What can the captain do? The Jin and Wu families could only be given fifty lashes each and scolded.
Then he asked Accountant Jin to take his mother to the town to see a doctor, and he drove Mrs. Wu back: "Go back to your own home quickly. Don't blame me for being rude if you cause trouble again. You don't know what kind of person your son is, and you blame others for the trouble.
It's embarrassing for me to talk about this. A man is a pimp for his wife. This is the first time I've heard of such a ridiculous thing. And he even had the nerve to come to the doorstep of the Jin family to make trouble. I didn't say it out for the sake of your face. Now that you have no shame, don't blame me for being rude. ”
After being scolded by the team leader, Mrs. Wu finally calmed down and returned home full of resentment.
From then on, Jin Bei became a legend. When people mentioned her, they would say in a strange tone: "Oh, you are talking about Jin Sanmao. I know she was like this when she was a child, and then she grew up to be like this..."
By the time the topic of Jinbei died down, it was already May of 1975. The Northern Province had entered summer and the crops in the fields were growing lushly. Apart from regular watering, pest control, weeding and fertilizing every day, life was pretty easy.
And at this time, Lian Xiuran suddenly returned to the city to recruit workers. He had been doing it quietly before, and by the time everyone knew about it, Lian Xiuran had already completed the formalities and could leave at any time.
The educated youth camp was in an uproar. Going back to the city was the dream of many educated youth!
Which of the educated youth who had just gone to the countryside had not cried in their bed and wanted to go back to the city? Unfortunately, they had to wait hopelessly year after year, and their youth was wasted in the countryside all over the country. Many of them settled down and started a career in the local area, and seemed to have accepted their fate, but deep down they still felt unwilling.
(The author has heard from elders that there were two educated youths in the village next to our home. When they were young, they were assigned to Hainan to tap rubber and had a very hard life. Now they are retired, but their household registration is still in Hainan. Their monthly pension is more than 10,000 yuan, more than 10,000 yuan per person!)
When they suddenly got the news that Lian Xiuran was recruited back to the city, the educated youth site became lively. The male educated youth were relatively open-minded. Although they felt bad, they still smiled and congratulated Lian Xiuran on being able to return to the city.
The female educated youth could no longer laugh. Zhao Xiuzhu, Li Yunying and Chen Xiaoxue had been thinking about Lian Xiuran for a long time, and they were hoping that with their hard work they would be able to make Lian Xiuran fall in love with them one day!
In the end, the other person had to go back to the city, and their hopes were shattered. They felt envious and sad, and it was really hard to laugh.
After Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu learned the news, they went to the educated youth site to congratulate Lian Xiuran.
Lian Xiuran received them with a smile, but he looked at Tan Yanyanlu with complicated eyes. After all, he chose to go back to the city between going back to the city and Tan Yanlu. No matter how good Tan Yanlu was, she was not as important as Lian Xiuran's own future.
Tan Yanlu acted very calm. She really didn't want to date at this time, so facing Lian Xiuran's complicated look, she naturally behaved frankly.
Lian Xiuran felt bad, but smiled and said, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. I've booked a few tables of food and wine at the Peace Hotel in town. I'd like to invite everyone to have a meal together as a farewell.
Let’s all come to the restaurant and have some fun together tomorrow morning. ”
Everyone naturally agreed, and they sighed in their hearts that Lian Xiu Ran was indeed a wealthy man. Booking a table at the Peace Hotel would cost at least two to three dollars, and one would need a ticket. Zhao Xiuzhu and the others felt even more sad when they did the math.
The next day, everyone at the educated youth site asked for leave and went to the Peace Hotel in the town for dinner.
Lian Xiuran was indeed decisive in his actions. There were six dishes on the table, including braised pork with preserved vegetables, braised fish, scrambled eggs with green and red peppers, fried peanuts, cold-mixed tomatoes, smashed cucumbers, and two baskets of steamed buns for everyone to eat.
No one had much to eat these days, and even though everyone was a little jealous of Lian Xiuran's return, with food and drink in front of them, everyone put aside their grievances and ate first.
Halfway through the meal, Tan Yanlu went to the toilet and came out to see Lian Xiuran blocking the door. It seemed that he came prepared: "Lian Zhiqing, is there something wrong?"
"Yes, I have something to tell you." Lian Xiuran pursed his lips nervously and said what he had been thinking for a long time: "Tan Zhiqing, if...if I say I am willing to stay for you, will you consider me as your partner?"
Tan Yanlu was stunned, then shook her head: "Lian Zhiqing, to be honest, I am somewhat moved by your words, but I am really sorry, I don't want to date right now.
You shouldn't stay for me. Your parents must have made a lot of efforts to let you return to the city. More than I do, you should not disappoint your parents' expectations of you.
So I'm sorry, I can only reject your kindness. I would like to wish you a bright future and everything goes well after you return to the city. ”
Lian Xiuran was very disappointed, but he had been mentally prepared, so he didn't feel too bad, but his smile was a little stiff: "Then I will accept your blessing first."
"I wish you all the best in the future."
The two returned to the dinner table and continued to eat and drink. Their expressions were normal, which made the others who were secretly observing them feel a little disappointed. They didn't know what Lian Xiuran and Tan Yanlu had talked about, and whether it was related to returning to the city?
Those who had this idea were basically male educated youth. As soon as the female educated youth saw the seemingly relaxed atmosphere between Lian Xiuran and Tan Yanlu, they knew what had happened. Each of them felt extremely sad. Why did Lian Xiuran not like them?
After the meal, the educated youth returned to Lianshan Village together. The team leader only gave them half a day off, as they still had to go to work in the afternoon.
Tan Yanlu also has to go to the big yard to teach the children and is very busy.
