People feel refreshed when happy things happen.
It is not an exaggeration to apply this to the banker.
Good things have been happening a lot recently, not only has Hu Tou been admitted to university, but Zhuang Zhixi has also encountered a great thing. He originally wanted to write something to make everyone more vigilant, but who would have thought that this would attract someone's attention.
Zhuang Zhixi was confused, but he still agreed to the offer from Mr. Zou. Although the money was not much, it was an honor and such an opportunity was not always available. As the original author, Zhuang Zhixi also received an invitation. Mr. Zou warmly invited Zhuang Zhixi to join the adaptation and creation.
There are not many themes of this kind nowadays, and I believe that the participation of the original author will help everyone better understand the story, making it more interesting and meaningful.
Every time Teacher Zou mentioned this, Zhuang Zhixi couldn't help but say: You understand it better than me.
However, he swallowed it quickly.
It's not good to hurt the enthusiastic teacher Zou, right? Zhuang Zhixi himself didn't expect that although Teacher Zou looked ordinary, he was actually quite powerful. He was not only the deputy director of the Film Academy, but also the section chief of the TV drama production center.
Although there is indeed a shortage of talent nowadays, the fact that he can hold such a leadership position shows that he is not an ordinary person.
However, even though Deputy Director Zou is a leader, he still likes to be called Teacher Zou.
Although this was Zhuang Zhixi's own business, the machinery factory was still very cooperative. The production center wanted to second Zhuang Zhixi to help for a period of time, but this was not difficult at all and they cooperated quickly. Before Hu Tou's graduation party was held, Zhuang Zhixi had already gone to the TV drama production center.
He came to report early in the morning, which was considered early, but Teacher Zou came earlier than him. When he saw him enter the door, he took him to handle all the formalities. Although he was not a formal employee, he still had to have a work permit, otherwise it would be inconvenient to go in and out, and it would be inconvenient to go to the cafeteria.
Zhuang Zhixi walked around with them, not only completing the formalities, but also getting to know many of the staff here. No matter what everyone was thinking, they all greeted them in a friendly manner.
Zhuang Zhixi was assigned to a small office with a total of six people.
Zhuang Zhixi observed around and saw that the staff in this office were relatively young, so he roughly understood what was going on. It can be said that Teacher Zou was very careful.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhuang Zhixi sat down, Xiao Ma opposite him took the initiative to talk to him and asked curiously: "Brother, you came here mainly for the Erhua project, right?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Yes, because I am the original author, Mr. Zou called me here in the hope that I can use my abilities to better dig out the connotation of the work."
Because Zhuang Zhixi was seconded and didn't seem to want to stay, everyone was not on guard against him. Xiao Ma smiled and said, "Then when this project starts, I have to join in. I read the content and I think it's really well written. Your content is really rich. If I were to say it, I wouldn't be able to write so many deceptive tricks."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Actually, I also collected information and consulted some older elders. By the way, what do you usually do here?"
"Well. Just organize the materials yourself. This is all accumulation." Xiao Ma: "By the way, how old are you? I think you are really young."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Thirty-two.”
pony:"..."
He said faintly: "Why should I call you brother? You are seven years older than me."
It's outrageous! Zhuang Zhixi couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Ma: "You really look young. Yes, you work in the machinery factory. I heard someone ran away from your factory a few days ago?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Isn't this known to everyone in the city? There is such a person."
"Speaking of which, your machinery factory has a lot of things going on. I remember there was a guy called Bai Fendou many years ago. He was also from your machinery factory, right? He had an influence on me when I was still young. Oh my god! ~ Do you know him?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "That's my neighbor."
pony:"..."
Xiao Zhao at the side said: "No, you are from the same compound, so do you know someone named Zhou Qun?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “My neighbor.”
The room was quiet for a second. It must be said that these were all capable people. Although they had been settled for the past few years, the legend left in the city in the early years had not been broken so far. Xiao Ma couldn't help but asked, "Is the toilet near you still there?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "...Do you want to go and have a look?"
Xiao Ma: "That's not necessary."
At this time, he said sincerely: "Then I know why you can write articles so vividly. You still have a life. Most people don't have your insights."
Zhuang Zhixi: “This happened many years ago.”
"It was a big deal many years ago. I haven't heard of such a thing happening anywhere else in all these years. It's really awesome." Although the incident has passed, the record has not been broken.
"I have a relative who works in the hospital near your home. I get a headache whenever I mention your hospital!"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Then we are too wronged, right? Actually, it's not that serious."
When Teacher Zou came over, he saw that everyone had surrounded Zhuang Zhixi. Everyone felt that Zhuang Zhixi and his colleagues had a lot of material in their compound, so much that they could write a 500-episode TV series.
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Teacher Zou: "You are so popular."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Teacher Zou's understanding is somewhat blind.
Zhuang Zhixi started working here very quickly. Although his current job was not similar to the work of the Propaganda Department, he still found it quite interesting. He could learn something, which might not be useful in the future, but it would not hurt to learn it.
As Zhuang Zhixi quickly integrated into the work, it was the weekend and it was Hu Tou's graduation banquet.
Hutou has been working with his grandmother on the stall this week. He has become much tanned and thinner. His family members are all good-looking, and after losing weight, Hutou looks more angular and more attractive.
Mr. Zou heard from somewhere that Zhuang Zhixi's nephew was going to hold a graduation banquet, and he also offered to come over to share in the good cheer, as his child would be taking the college entrance examination next year. When Xiao Ma and Xiao Zhao heard this, they immediately came over like two generals and offered to help.
If Zhuang Zhixi still doesn't understand this, then he's crazy. Teacher Zou must have a background, otherwise why would these two be so important? But he didn't care, after all, he was not from the production center.
Just look, early in the morning, Teacher Zou rode a bicycle, accompanied by his two generals, and the three of them rushed to Xinghuali together.
Teacher Zou was still shocked to hear that Zhuang Zhixi was from Xinghuali, from the famous No. 44 Courtyard in Beijing. As expected, people need experience to better describe life. As for attending the graduation banquet this time, he was not curious about this courtyard, he was just happy to get along with his new colleagues. into a pit.
Teacher Zou quickly stopped his bicycle, took out his glasses and put them on. He pushed them up and walked around the public toilet carefully twice. Then he slightly slightly and said, "It looks like this toilet has been renovated, which shows that it did collapse at that time."
"You have a keen eye. You saw it right away." Xiao Ma flattered.
Xiao Zhao: "Of course, Mr. Zou is very observant."
The three of them walked around the toilet and looked around. Yu Xiaomei came out of the toilet at that moment and looked at them warily, wondering if the three of them wanted to peek. She stared at the three of them. Xiao Ma and Xiao Zhao felt bitter in their hearts, but they still smiled sincerely at Yu Xiaomei.
Yu Xiaomei: "Are you guys trying to be a hooligan?"
He actually smiled at her in an obscene way.
He doesn't look like a serious person.
Xiao Ma Xiao Zhao: "..."
How can this be justified? They really didn't mean that. Can't they just show some friendship?
"Comrade, you misunderstood them."
Teacher Zou wanted to explain, but Yu Xiaomei sneered and said, "You are not a good person either."
Yu Xiaomei was not looking for trouble. If anyone came out of the toilet and saw three old men wandering around the toilet and laughing strangely, it would always make people feel uneasy. After all, Yu Xiaomei didn't know that this toilet had so much history.
All three of them were scolded by Yu Xiaomei, so Xiao Ma naturally had to speak up quickly: "We really have no ill intentions towards this female comrade, it's just that there are a lot of rumors about your toilet, so we are curious to take a look."
Yu Xiaomei frowned and was about to say something else when she saw Wang Zizhen coming over. Wang Zizhen also came out to use the toilet. Seeing them confronting each other, he wondered, "What's going on?"
She also looked at the three gay men, they were all strangers.
These days, we have to be wary of strangers.
Xiao Ma: "We came here to attend the graduation banquet. When we got to the entrance of the alley, we remembered your toilet with a story, so we stopped. We really don't mean any harm."
Yu Xiaomei: "What's the story behind the toilet? It..."
Wang Zizhen held Yu Xiaomei and said, "You don't know, this toilet really has a story."
She whispered, "Your brother Yu Baoshan once collapsed this toilet."
Yu Xiaomei: “……………………”
After a long while, Yu Xiaomei said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I just came back from the countryside and don't know so much."
"It's okay, we just need to make it clear."
After several people explained clearly, Wang Zizhen pointed to a courtyard in the middle and said, "Are you going to the village? That's the one with a group of children at the door."
"Thank you."
"It's all right."
Xiao Zhao: "The lesbians around here are pretty fierce, I heard..."
He smiled, causing the other two to look at him, and said, "I heard that Zhuang Zhixi is also afraid of his wife. He is well-known for being afraid of his wife in their machinery factory."
"I've heard that, too."
“I don’t know if it’s really amazing or just a rumor.”
Teacher Zou: "Don't believe these rumors. Saying weird things about others without any basis is no different from gossiping. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with being henpecked. If you don't really have a good relationship, why would you be afraid?"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Several people entered the gate together. Jiang Lu was the one collecting favors at the door. There was a table set up here. Since the three of them came to join in the fun, they naturally had to pay the gift money and sign their names one by one. Jiang Lu knew at a glance that they were neither neighbors nor factory workers.
But she wasn't worried about anything, instead she said, "Just sit anywhere inside."
They were considered to have arrived relatively early, and just in time, the neighbors had already set up the tables, and the children also had seats. There were 16 tables in total, with ten people at each table. Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Teacher Zou, thank you for your support, please take a seat."
They arrived early, and the other adults had not arrived yet. Instead, a group of little kids were sitting at the table playing Gobang and making some noise.
“Is there any of your children here?”
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "Yes, those two who look alike are my twin children."
Teacher Zou looked over and exclaimed that the two children were so cute. The younger one was about ten years old, but quite tall, and you could tell at first glance that he was a tall guy.
"Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan, bring the children over here to call for help."
The children chirped, "Hello, uncle."
Teacher Zou smiled: "Hello."
"What are you playing?"
"Gobang."
Teacher Zou: "Uncle will play with you guys once, okay?"
"good."
Tuan Tuan: "Don't be sad if you lose."
When Xiao Ma saw his confident look, he smiled and said, "Why do you think you can definitely win?"
Tuan Tuan was very confident and nodded: "I am an expert."
This made everyone laugh again.
Sure enough, children don’t brag. He is really good. Teacher Zou lost.
Xiao Ma and Xiao Zhao tried to save face for Teacher Zou, but lost again.
The three gay men fell into endless silence...
Jiang Lu, who was sitting at the door collecting money, watched the whole process, holding back his laughter and pretending that he didn't look away. Oh, oh, this is too funny, they can't even beat a kid.
Are the children in their compound ordinary children?
Fortunately, the silence didn't last too long, and people came in one after another. There were many tables for the banquet this time, and three generations of the Li family were all working in the kitchen. Chef Li led Yang Lixin and Li Weiwei, and they were all busy.
The female comrades helped out.
Aunt Sui sighed: "Your banquet is better than my family's New Year's banquet."
Aunt Wang: "You can't say that. The Chinese New Year comes once a year, but this graduation banquet only happens once."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
It was a rare happy event in their alley, so everyone came early to join in the fun. Soon other people came in, and the children immediately ran out the door. Teacher Zou looked at Bai Fendou and Zhou Qun who came out to help greet people, and looked at them curiously.
The people in their compound are used to it, but those from outside are not.
It was the first time for them to meet Zhou Qun and Bai Fendou, both of whom were once famous figures in the "jianghu".
This time, it really looks a bit strange.
Isn’t that Zhou Qun too effeminate?
He just talks, why is he sticking his little finger up? This makes people feel uneasy. And that Bai Fendou, you just talk, why are you arm in arm? Because they are wearing tinted glasses, they see something wrong no matter how they look at it. I just feel uncomfortable everywhere, but I can't help but be curious... I still want to see it.
At this time, Hutou also came out to greet everyone. He was wearing a T-shirt. There was a cute giant panda painted on the refreshing white shirt. He was also wearing a pair of jeans. Not many people wear jeans nowadays.
There are few in the 49 cities, but the Man from Atlantic City has already started airing, so jeans are not unfamiliar.
Teacher Zou was delighted when he saw it. He was not someone who could not accept new things. He looked at it with an eye for beauty and nodded in praise: "Is your nephew really good-looking? I haven't asked yet. Which university did he apply to?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Film Academy, he studied photography."
Because Hu Tou studied photography, Zhao Guihua also gave him a camera as a gift for his admission to university. Hu Tou was so happy these days that his tail was about to rise to the sky. But on such a big day as today, he dared not rise to the sky. If he embarrassed the family, his grandmother would give him a slap on the spot.
He said politely: "Hello, uncle."
Teacher Zou was particularly surprised: "You are from our school. Hey, you can be an actor with your looks."
Hu Tou is a simple and honest child. Although he was stunned for a moment when he heard that he actually met his school teacher, he quickly said, "I can't be an actor. In fact, when I started to study art, I wanted to learn acting. At that time, I found a retired teacher Wen to teach me. Teacher Wen almost cried when he taught me. I really don't have any talent at all, but he found that I could take good pictures by fiddling with his camera, and thought that I have better talent in light perception and other aspects."
Teacher Zou: "Teacher Wen, I know he has only retired for a year. He is a veteran performing artist and still often plays guest roles for us. However, I rarely hear him comment on others like this."
Hu Tou scratched his head and laughed.
He was really honest and said, "How about I perform a show for you?"
"Sure!"
Hu Tou took action immediately, and after two or three moves, Teacher Zou spat out a mouthful of water.
Xiao Ma and Xiao Zhao, who were drinking tea next to them, also kept coughing.
Teacher Zou: “I understand.”
He said, "Would you feel regretful if you didn't learn acting?"
"No, I'm not good at this, but I'm always good at other things. No one is perfect."
Hu Tou's open-mindedness really impressed everyone. Teacher Zou nodded. He glanced at them and said, "No, you guys have good feng shui. You all look really good. This girl is pretty, too."
Zhuang Zhixi looked over and said, "That's my wife."
Teacher Zou: “…”
Xiao Ma Xiao Zhao: "..."
Oh no, this rumor is harmful! Rumor has it that Zhuang Zhixi's wife is very good at fighting and is a female demon? Whose female demon is so beautiful, with an oval face and big eyes, and looks young. To be honest, Zhuang Zhixi and his family must not have much pressure in their lives.
If they were stressed out and worried about life, they wouldn't be so young, but both of them look young, which shows that their life is not hard.
Mingmei was also helping out, but because there were so many people, she was responsible for taking care of the children. After all, although she seemed to have the best temper, she was the most effective in taking care of children. Children also know who has a higher fighting power.
Mingmei greeted them with a smile, and then said, "You must be Zhixi's colleagues, Mingmei, his wife, you can just call me Xiaoming."
Xiao Ming...
It sounds weird.
"Xiao Ming, you work at the bus station, right? I've heard of you."
This guy is somewhat famous in the city, and the petty thieves avoid him.
Mingmei: "No, I don't work at the bus station anymore. I went to the Public Security University."
Xiao Ma Xiao Zhao: "..."
Oh, then it’s normal that Zhuang Zhixi couldn’t do it. It would be strange if he could do it.
Teacher Zou: "Then we are in the same industry. I am also a teacher."
Mingmei laughed and nodded, "Yes."
"By the way, are you teaching...?"
Mingmei: "I teach Sanda."
The three male comrades immediately uttered a few "oh"s and dared not say anything. They did not look down on the female comrade, nor did they think that she was just a show-off. The fact that she could mobilize people like this just showed that she was a real expert.
Don't get beaten for saying something wrong, just be honest.
Mingmei saw that the others were obviously a little restrained, so she said, "I'll go out and check on the kids."
Zhuang Zhixi: "You go ahead,"
Teacher Zou: "Zhuang Zhixi, you can go and do your work. We can just sit by ourselves. You don't have to entertain us specially."
Zhuang Zhixi: "That's fine too. I don't treat you as outsiders. Do whatever you want."
"Okay."
There were quite a few people at the scene. The children were all playing outside. There were children from their own compound and some children from the surrounding area. They would all have lunch here at noon. All the little ones were very happy.
The boys were playing rap and the girls were jumping rubber ropes. Mingmei came out, took a look, confirmed that everything was fine, and turned back.
Yuanyuan: “Mom!”
Mingmei turned around: "What's the matter?"
Yuanyuan: “Is it time to eat?”
Mingmei: "Not yet. I'll call you when it's time for dinner. Don't worry."
Yuanyuan nodded immediately: "I know."
After Mingmei left, she said to the children, "We children have our own table, not with the adults."
"Ah, so are we doing it?"
Yuanyuan nodded: "If there is not enough space, we can make two tables. I know everything."
"Oh, good, I like it best when the kids are together. When eating with adults, my mom always says this and that about me."
"Me too."
While the children were mumbling, a child not far away was lying by the wall, watching silently with deep envy. This was Erlin from Yu Xiaomei's family. Erlin had the disease since birth. It was not incurable, but it would cost a lot of money to completely cure it. They had no money at all in the poor mountain village, so they had only treated it conservatively. Even so, they had lost everything, but the child's condition became worse and worse because he had not been cured.
The hospital issued a critical illness notice again this year. This time, Yu Xiaomei had to take a desperate measure and borrow money to return to the old city.
Erlin had been ill since childhood and had few friends. His only friend was his sister, but his sister had to do housework, so he was alone most of the time. This time when he came to Sijiu City, the adults felt uncomfortable, but the children didn't feel anything.
Because when he was at home, he was also locked up at home by himself. Now that he is out, he actually doesn't know if it is the same as back home. Normally, he should be hospitalized directly, but in order to save some money. Now for early examination and treatment. The hospital still allows them to live at home, which can be regarded as saving some bed fees. This can also be regarded as taking care of their family. After all, her family is really poor at first glance.
Although Erlin is a patient, he is still a child after all and is curious about the outside world. When he heard the noisy voices of children outside, he lay down at the door and watched with envy. When he was at home before, there were no children to play with him.
He also wanted to take the initiative, but no other kids wanted to play with him.
This is not because they are afraid that he will infect others, as we all know he is not contagious. The main reason is that they are afraid that he might get hurt accidentally, which would be hard to explain. This kid in their family is a serious disease-prone person. If something happens, who will bear the responsibility?
Of course, no one would play with the children.
Erlin looked at the children with envy, but didn't dare to go forward. He knew that the children didn't like to play with him. He rubbed his eyes with envy, because he missed his sister.
"Children, come and play together."
Yuanyuan saw the little boy lying on the door and peeking from afar. When she looked again, oh no, he was crying.
She waved: "Do you want to come play with us?"
Erlin was stunned for a moment and immediately retracted his head.
Li Zhenzhen laughed loudly: "Yuanyuan, he doesn't want to play with you, he is afraid of you."
Yuanyuan: "No, he is embarrassed to come over. Because he doesn't know us."
“That’s right.”
"Of course."
The two little girls were chatting when Erlin poked his head out again. He hesitated for a moment, then came out of the yard and said proudly, "Look, he wants to play with us."
She said, "Can you jump rope?"
Erlin shook his head and whispered, "I can't."
He walked over to them with his short legs, bit his lip, and said, "I won't. Can I watch for a while?"
"Yes."
"Then just watch us play here, and you can also play catch the bad guys with your brothers."
Erlin whispered: "My mother said I can't run, or I'll pass out."
Yuanyuan: “Ah?”
Bai Qingqing immediately whispered, "What he said is true. I heard my parents say that his name is Erlin, and he is sick and went back to the capital for treatment."
Yuanyuan: "Oh, ah, I remember it too. I remember my grandma said that too."
She immediately said with a serious face: "Is your name Erlin?"
Erlin nodded.
Yuanyuan: "Then don't run around. Just watch us skipping rope here. When you get better, we can play together."
Erlin quickly said, "Okay."
Seeing how thin he was, Yuanyuan said, "Everyone come to my house for lunch. My brother has been admitted to university. Can you come too?"
Erlin: “I, I, I…”
He whispered, "Can I come too?"
Erlin didn't understand even more, but he still said "oh" or "oh" and soon smiled. He said, "My sister can also skip rubber rope."
"You have a sister?"
Erlin nodded quickly: "I have some. My sister is very nice. She can pick flowers, dig vegetables, and jump rubber rope. She can do a lot of things." He became more and more lonely as he spoke, rubbing his eyes: "I miss my sister."
Yuanyuan suddenly realized that the child was missing his sister.
"Then you should take good care of yourself. When you recover, you can go home to see your sister."
"Um."
The children simply stopped jumping rope and sat together chattering.
When the younger sister realized that her son had run out, she hurried to look for him in a panic, and saw her son sitting with a group of children, big and small. They didn't know what they were talking about, but they were all laughing happily.
She hadn't seen her son smile so happily for a long time.
She watched for a while and saw Li Zhenzhen skillfully weaving a wreath for Erlin and put it around his neck. The little boy clapped his hands with joy.
After all, he was just a four-year-old child.
Yu Xiaomei watched for a while, then felt relieved and went home to be busy. Their family had already started setting up a stall. Business was average on the first and second days. They brought the unsold food back home to eat. She was so heartbroken that she cried in the middle of the night.
But it soon got better. Burritos are very convenient because they have rice, vegetables and eggs. They sell them at the entrance of the hospital, which saves a lot of trouble. There are other people selling things here, but it doesn't affect their business at all.
After only a few days of selling, the couple felt full of energy. In order to make money, they sold twice a day, at noon and in the evening. If they didn't sell three times a day, no one would be able to enjoy delicious burritos every meal. They wanted to sell three times.
Yu Xiaomei went home and continued to work, kneading the dough vigorously, saying, "When we save some money, we will bring our daughter out."
"good!"
They came here for medical treatment, which was not convenient, but Yu Xiaomei had already made up her mind. She could apply for a temporary residence permit and stay here to earn money. If she went home, she didn't know when she could save enough money to pay her parents back, so she had to stay.
She also wanted her daughter to study here. All the children here are studying, even her brother and sister-in-law's children are studying, so her child cannot fall behind.
"Let's do a good job!"
"good!"
The couple was busy, but they didn't know that Erlin had followed the little brothers and sisters into Yard No. 44. He was unfamiliar with this place, but he looked around curiously. It was not yet time for dinner, and the children came over to grab candies. No child could resist the temptation of candies.
If so, two.
Yuanyuan grabbed some candy for Erlin, who smiled happily and said, "I'll save it for my sister."
"You're such a good brother."
Erlin immediately puffed out his chest with pride.
Zheng Huimin came out of the house and watched the children gather together to pack candies like little hamsters. She smiled and said, "Zhuang Yuanyuan, you are eating candies again. You forgot that you have a toothache again."
Yuanyuan's baby teeth have almost all been replaced, but there are still one or two teeth left. The small decayed teeth hurt every now and then. Mingmei looked at Yuanyuan and stopped her from eating so much candy. But the little girl couldn't help it.
Yuanyuan pursed her lips and quickly said, "I was giving the candy to my brother, not for me to eat. Besides, my name is Yuanyuan, not Zhuang Yuanyuan. My name is Zhuang Chen."
"You are Zhuang Yuanyuan."
Yuanyuan pursed her lips. This Sister Zheng was really annoying. She always bullied the kids. She pouted at Zheng Huimin. Zheng Huimin: "If you eat a lot of candy, I will tell your mother. Then, hehe, we will stew bamboo shoots with meat."
Yuanyuan: “!!!”
Look, there is such a big sister.
Yuanyuan muttered, "Then I'll tell brother Li Junjun too."
Who wouldn't complain?
Humph! Zheng Huimin blushed and said, "You bad guy, there is nothing between us."
Xiao Yuanyuan put her hands on her hips: "Then don't blush, huh."
Although she is a child, she is not a stupid child, you can see that.
Zheng Huimin muttered: "Why are the kids nowadays so smart?"
She leaned over to look at Li Junjun and saw that Li Junjun was also helping in the kitchen.
Zheng Huimin immediately asked: "Where is your sister? Where is your sister Xiaoyanzi?"
Yuanyuan: "Sister went out to get the roast duck."
One of their dishes is roast duck, which was ordered from outside and picked up this morning. Xiaoyanzi just went out.
Zheng Huimin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh."
As long as Li Junjun doesn't dare to be with Xiaoyanzi, it's fine. Although she is busy making money and has no time to care about feelings, Zheng Huimin still likes Li Junjun very much. Which girl is not moved by a hero saving a beautiful girl?
Although she doesn't show it as obviously as before, she still likes Li Junjun very much.
When she liked Su Jinlai before, she had nothing, so she just wanted to hold on to Su Jinlai. But now that she likes Li Junjun, it's not the same. She has a job and can earn money. Naturally, she won't pester him.
She wanted Li Junjun to see her good side.
Of course, she is also too busy now and has no time to bother with Li Junjun.
Although Li Junjun is important, he is not as important as making money.
Zheng Huimin propped up her chin and looked at Li Junjun. She just thought he was really good. Although he was not the most handsome, he was indeed the most manly. Others were not as good as him. Not as good as him at all.
When Guan Hong came out, she saw Zheng Huimin covered in pink bubbles. She snorted and said, "It's useless for you to look at it. She doesn't like you either."
After living in this courtyard for a while, they could see that Li Junjun was actually interested in Xiaoyanzi. Fortunately, Xiaoyanzi herself did not have such intentions and did not even notice it.
This is really... awesome.
Zheng Huimin said confidently: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't like me. There will always be a time when he likes me. As long as I get better and better, he will know how good I am." She glanced at Guan Hong and said, "But you, stop making trouble for me here."
Guan Hong: "How can you say that? We are competing fairly."
"Of course, that's fair. If you try to play tricks, you're a dog."
"You're a pig if you play tricks."
The two of them are like cross-eyed people.
The inexperienced trio who had accidentally heard the entire thing said: "..."
Are young people's emotions so complicated now? Today is particularly lively. Wang Xiangxiu also brought her son to help here. Su Jinlai didn't want to work, but his mother was a tyrant, so he was forced to come here to make fire. He felt that he was Yang Paifeng! He had the ability but he still wanted to be a fire boy.
I feel wronged.
At this time, Li Junjun came out with a large pot of food. Zheng Huimin and Guan Hong immediately rushed over and said, "I'll help!"
Li Junjun: “…No need!”
Su Jinlai looked at him jealously. Woohoo, didn't these two women give up on Li Junjun? Why are they trying to get involved again? His most urgent hope now is that they can make money quickly, so that they can no longer be Li Junjun's licking dogs.
Su Jinlai looked at it with resentment, and felt that life was particularly bleak.
Tonglai took a look and warned: "Don't make trouble."
Jin Lai: “!!!”
He was unconvinced: "How could I be that kind of person?"
Tonglai: "Whether you are or not, I still have to remind you. If you mess around here, our mother won't let it go."
Su Jinlai sighed silently and said, "I understand!"
The trio who were once again surrounded by onlookers: “…”
What is going on here? Why is it that the love-hate relationship in this compound is a little confusing?
Perhaps the three people's blank expressions were too obvious, so Li Weiwei, who came out, saw it and said kindly: "They are complicated, you don't understand."
Xiao Ma hurriedly asked, "Those two girls live together, and they like that burly guy?"
Li Weiwei nodded: "Yes."
That's right, they all like his brother! But he thinks these women like money the most. He can only be ranked second.
Xiao Ma asked again: "What about the one burning firewood?"
She looks pretty good.
Li Weiwei: "You mean Su Jinlai? What's the matter? Haven't you heard of his reputation? His nickname is Big Bird."
The trio: “…”
I heard something about it.
Li Weiwei became interested. Although he was a young man, he also had a heart that yearned for gossip. He said, "Well, these two female comrades liked Su Jinlai at first, and then someone came to pick on him, saying that Su Jinlai was not manly and... blah blah, and then my brother, this guy, was a hero and saved the beauty blah blah... So the two female comrades changed their targets blah blah... But my brother actually didn't like either of them, he liked someone else, but the person he liked didn't like him blah blah..."
Teacher Zou: "I should bring paper and pen when I go out."
It would be a pity if I didn't write down such good material.
He said, "Straighten it out for me again and I'll take note."
Li Weiwei: "Hehe, well, I also have a role in it. I went on a blind date with her, but when she was on a blind date with me, she fell in love with Su Jin..."
Guan Hong could no longer bear it and said, "Li Weiwei, you are such a gossip-monger. No one is more talkative than you. Is it necessary for you to keep talking about things that happened eight hundred years ago? You are still telling people about it. What? Does it make you look good? How come others can't find wives if you love gossiping so much?"
Li Weiwei: "If I find a wife like you, I'm doomed, so I can't find a wife easily. I'm afraid of meeting someone like you."
Guan Hong was so angry that she fell backwards and cursed: "I don't want to meet someone like you? You look like shit, and you are not as brave as a woman like me. Excuse me, but men without courage are all losers!"
The trio: “…”
Others who listened to the whole thing with their ears perked up: "..."
Guan Hong shouted: "All men are the same, they can do nothing but brag, they are all losers!"
Everyone: “…”
This female comrade is somewhat tough.
Guan Hong didn't care at all and glared at Li Weiwei. Li Weiwei couldn't help but take a step back. Guan Hong snorted heavily, shook his head and walked in.
Li Weiwei: “Huh~”
Zheng Huimin: "Gossip!"
Li Weiwei: “…”
He stood there pitifully, and heard his grandmother yelling, "Li Weiwei, you are showing off, right? How can you be so embarrassed as a grown man to flirt with a lesbian outside? Get back here!"
Li Weiwei rushed back quickly, not daring to delay for even a moment.
When Li Weiwei entered the house, an old lady hit him twice on the back without any hesitation. Li Weiwei felt miserable but dared not speak.
He paid the price for his chatter, woooo.
The trio: “…”
This compound is indeed a little different.
Teacher Zou: "Materials, all materials."
Su Jinlai lowered his head and made a fire. Hehehe, he felt balanced. His heart was balanced. As long as there are people more pitiful than me, I will be happy.
The happiness of being a human being is just that simple.
This little incident seemed very serious to the three of them, but in the eyes of others, it was as simple as eating and drinking. Was it a big deal to get hit a few times and scolded a few times? Not at all.
It's normal.
Even the children were very calm. Yuanyuan and her group of children saw that the meal was almost ready and had already sat down at the table.
At this time, Yu Xiaomei waited at home for a long time but her baby did not come. Then she realized something and said, "Could Erlin have gone to the banker's house?"
His husband Yang Shulin said, "Then I'll go and bring the child back. We didn't give any gifts, so it's not okay to let the child eat at someone else's house."
Some families in their village don't allow children to be brought to the banquet. Every family is in financial difficulty, and they are very concerned about this. The couple thought this was too bad, and they stood up. However, Aunt Yu glanced at Yu Xiaomei and said, "You can go and give a gift. A dime is enough."
Yu Xiaomei: “Ah?”
She was a little confused because the two families didn't interact with each other.
Aunt Yu: "I have cursed their family, they will definitely not like me. I don't think I will be well received if I go there, and other people will chase me away. There is nothing I can do, there are too many people cursing, and there are enemies everywhere. But it doesn't matter to you, you have been away for more than ten years, there is nothing wrong with giving it to them, you can go there. We all live in the same alley, you can also go there to give a gift, and take the children to eat there."
Yu Xiaomei: “Ah?”
It's not that she wanted to be amazed, but her mother never participated in such activities organized by others before, because she had to give gifts, and whenever she had to give gifts, her mother would definitely feel like she was losing out.
Perhaps seeing her daughter's shocked expression, Aunt Yu smiled smugly and said, "Ordinary people only need to give a dime as a gift. I've seen it, and the dishes there are really good. You're definitely making a profit with your children. It's worth it, go and eat! Besides, you can also go there to share in the good fortune, who knows, maybe both of your children will go to college in the future."
Yu Xiaomei: “…”
She said her mother wasn't the type to suffer any loss.
Aunt Yu: "You go ahead."
Yu Xiaomei: "But..."
Aunt Yu: "What buts do you mean? We don't lose out if you give us a dime as a gift, and his family doesn't necessarily lose out 100%. Besides, it's rare for the child to play outside, and you drag him home, how bad is that? The child still needs to interact with other children, otherwise he will be suffocated. Go ahead."
Yu Xiaomei was extremely embarrassed, but Aunt Yu quickly pushed her out of the house.
Yu Xiaomei hesitated for a moment, and finally walked towards the banker. She was thinking about how to ask for the child to be taken away. She was not familiar with this place, and it was not good to come to the door to eat. She bit her lip and hesitated at the door.
He Lan had no impression of Xiao Mei and was not familiar with her, so she said directly: "Come in, come in, find a seat by yourself, the meal will be served soon."
Although there were many strangers at the scene, He Lan assumed that everyone who came was here to attend the entrance banquet. Yu Xiaomei finally entered the door after being called by He Lan. She really couldn't leave now, so she hurried over to register.
He Lan arranged her to sit at the same table with the lesbians. Yu Xiaomei was extremely embarrassed. She looked around and didn't see her son. She quickly said, "Comrade, did you see a little boy? He's very thin, about three or four years old, wearing a..."
He Lan: "You are talking about Erlin."
She said, "He's in the backyard. The kids are at the table in the backyard. If you're worried, go check on him."
She thanked him quickly, feeling deeply moved that in just a short while, her son had become more famous than she was in the area. She came to the junction of the front and back yards, looked back, and saw the children picking peanuts and eating them, mumbling about going to school.
Her son was also among them, his little hands were busy. The little guy asked while eating, and said seriously: "I overheard what my mother said. My mother said that when my sister comes, she will also go to study."
His sister is not educated now.
But all the older children had to study, and her sister had to study too.
Li Zhenzhen immediately said: "Then your sister is here, I will protect her, and if anyone bullies her, I will lead my brothers to beat them up."
Erlin: “Ah, OK!”
He was extremely happy and felt that he had done a great thing. He had found a supporter for his sister.
"So how about going to school?"
"Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not, but children have to go to school when they grow up. If they don't go to school, they won't know anything and will be illiterate." Yuanyuan said worriedly, "What I hate most is that the PE teacher is always sick. How can she be a PE teacher if she is always sick? But our Chinese and math teachers are in great health and can always take up the PE teacher's class."
"Why!"
All children have the same melancholy.
Erlin: “Oh.”
He didn't understand, but he wanted to write it down and tell his sister.
Yu Xiaomei looked at it for a while and felt relieved. At the same time, she felt warm in her heart and became more determined to pick up her daughter as soon as possible.
But she didn't know that at this moment, a little yellow-haired girl of seven or eight years old, with her hair cut as if it had been bitten by a dog, mixed in the crowd, pretending to be a child following an adult, and quietly got on the train.
She was thin and small, and even her clothes were tattered. There were red scratches on her face, but the girl's eyes were bright. She squeezed into the car boldly, huddled in a corner, and looked at the people around her vigilantly.
She listened to the conversations of the passengers with caution. Someone asked, "Where are you going, fellow?"
"I'm going to the capital. My son is serving in the army there. I haven't seen him for several years. He asked me to come over."
"Me too, I'm going too..."
When the little girl heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right, this train is going to Sijiu City, so she didn't get on the wrong train.
She wants to find her parents and her younger brother.
She doesn't want to stay here!
That's right, this is Yu Xiaomei's daughter Xing'er. Although the little girl was left at her grandparents' home, her grandparents lived with her uncle's family. They all looked down on her and she was beaten even though she had to do a lot of work every day.
The eldest cousin even deliberately scratched her face with a branch because she hated the fact that she was prettier than her.
The eldest aunt deliberately refused to give her food, saying that she was no different from a little beggar, and she was not allowed to eat, and she pinched her secretly. Grandpa and grandma saw it but could only sigh and could not control it. They also said that her mother was an educated youth and would definitely abandon her and her brother and go back to the city and never come back.
She also said that her brother was a sickly person and would not live long, and that she would never see her brother again because sickly people would only die.
Little Xing'er was very sad. She was beaten again last night and cried outside alone. It was the village head's grandmother who secretly gave her a steamed bun, but Xing'er didn't eat it. She saved it up, took advantage of the night, carried her small bag, secretly went out, and walked towards the city. She wanted to go to the capital by herself.
She walked to the town, then got on a bus, and when she got to the city, she thought she was going to be discovered, but the conductor thought the woman in front of her was her mother, so he didn't ask any more questions. got on the bus behind some adults, and sure enough, no one asked her.
She wants to go find her family. Her uncle's family are all bad people, and she doesn't want to stay here anymore.
She had to go to the capital to find her parents so that her brother wouldn't die! She huddled in a corner, so small that no one paid attention to her...
As the train left, she didn't know that the people in their village were already searching for her.
The village chief even pointed at her uncle and aunt and cursed: "If you find the child, it's fine. If you don't, you can just wait to go to jail! I have seen many vicious and mean people, but I have never seen people like yours. You take advantage of the couple's absence to abuse the child. Are you worthy of being the child's uncle and aunt? You should really hide when it rains. You are so mean and vicious, you deserve to be struck by lightning!"
"She ran away on her own and she's still blaming us?" The old couple spoke up for their eldest son: "She's just a girl, let her get lost."
These old couple deserve to be cursed, they always say mean things.
"One is a girl and the other is a sickly child. If the couple had listened to me, they should have taken good care of the two and had another child. Why did they insist on supporting these two? Who can I blame for the way they live? A girl can't even support the family, so what if she's lost? I said she's been eating rice and grain for so many years in vain. And that little one in their family is a jinx, who has been sick since birth. Even a mountain of gold can't stop him. My eldest son has to live, too."
His eldest son immediately said, "That's right. Am I taking care of the child for nothing? We have our own work to do. Don't blame us."
The village chief said: "Bah, do you think I don't know? You are not looking after the children for nothing. You asked for food, took things and abused the children. You really deserve to be punished by God."
"That's right, the girl in his family is also vicious. Do you think I don't know? She's jealous at such a young age and she scratched someone's face on purpose. Families with girls in this village have to keep a close eye on them. This girl is vicious. Even if she's your child, everyone might avoid their family." A gossipy woman in the village also spoke up.
Everyone looked at this family with disgust and disdain.
“You, you, you guys…”
Village chief: "Okay, find the child!"
He actually knew that even if he really couldn't find them, he couldn't ask the police to arrest the boss's family. After all, there had never been such a thing before. Some of the older generation in the village also disagreed.
Besides, this family didn't know anything even if they bit him to death, and there was nothing they could do.
But he was really angry. How could there still be such vicious people in this day and age, and they were vicious to their relatives? What a curse! He pouted and said, "Hurry up and find him!"
He was talking about looking for the child, and everyone dispersed, leaving only the two of them. His mother stopped him and said, "I saw Xiao Xing'er last night."
The village chief immediately asked: "Where are the people?"
The old lady said: "Their family didn't give her any food, so I brought her a steamed bread, but I saw she was walking towards her home."
"His parents aren't home and the door is locked. What is she going to do there?"
The old lady: "I didn't know that. Later at night, when I went out to the toilet, I saw her again. She seemed to be carrying something and walking out of the village. I thought I was seeing things, but now I think about it. That little ragged clothes was her..."
Their home is close to the entrance of the village.
Village chief: "She left on her own. Where could she go?"
Because his family was poor, none of his relatives in the village would visit him.
The old lady said, "Could she be going to look for her parents? The eldest girl in their family keeps saying that her brother is dead. I see Xing'er's eyes turn red every time she hears that. Could she be going to the capital?"
The village chief was shocked. "How can she go? She has no money and no food. What if such a small child goes on the road alone and encounters kidnappers? Even if she doesn't encounter kidnappers, what if she gets lost?"
The more I think about it, the more anxious I become.
The old lady was also worried: "Who said it wasn't true? Let's find out."
"good."
In comparison, strangers like them were more humane than the Yang family. They really didn't want the little girl to get into trouble at such a young age. However, the people from the Yang family's main branch were cursing and didn't want to find anyone.
Boss Yang even said: "This damn girl should have her broken legs and let her run away!"
The situation here is in chaos, but the capital is quite lively. It is Hu Tou's graduation party, so the atmosphere is of course lively. Although it is Hu Tou's graduation party, the children are being pulled out one by one to perform.
Fortunately, the children in their yard are all outgoing and they sang happily together.
Mingmei sat on a chair, watching Tuantuan and Yuanyuan singing loudly and without any stage fright, and gave them a thumbs up. The two children sang even louder. They loved praise the most. They wanted to get a lot of praise.
Everyone was singing in chorus, but there was one person who was just filling in the numbers.
This is Erlin.
Little Erlin was also standing among the other children, humming happily along, but actually, he didn't know how to sing.
But it's fun to sing together!
After the song was over, all the children received warm applause and each of them received a small piece of cake. The little faces of the little ones were all shining. They felt that they were the most capable children.
Suddenly, Erlin seemed to have sensed something and said, "My sister is here to see me. I want to save this for her."
Everyone didn't understand the child's sixth sense and said, "Then wait until your sister comes and we can play together."
Erlin shouted: "Okay!"
