Chapter 394 Solution 4

Fenghua was not from Wanglou Brigade. Her surname was Zhou. She fled to Wanglou Brigade with her parents during the war. Her parents died of illness soon after. Fenghua was ten years old at that time. The Lu family took her in as a little maid. She was smart and clever. She had studied with her parents and could read. She was soon promoted to the old lady's room. She was promoted from a small maid to a big maid. She changed her name to Fenghua. When she got married, the old lady gave her a dowry.

Wang Zhengguo worked in the Lu family since he was young, so he was very familiar with Fenghua. Fenghua lived and ate with his older sister Fengmei. Sometimes when he prepared something for Fengmei, he would also prepare one for Fenghua, treating her like a younger sister.

However, Fengmei's character is not as good as Fenghua's.

After getting married, Fenghua came to visit the old lady every year, but Fengmei never showed up once. Later, no one knew what the old lady of the Lu family and Lu's father said to Fenghua, and Fenghua never showed up again.

Not long after, the vigorous campaign to fight against the local tyrants and divide the land began.

After so many years, not only did Li Dazhui fail to recognize Wang Zhengguo, but even Wang Zhengguo failed to recognize Li Dazhui. He knew that Li Dazhui and Zhou Fenghua were both workers in the city, but he didn't know that they had worked in a coal mine.

When Li Dazhu heard Wang Zhengguo calling out his name, he said happily, "Yes, yes, I am Li Dazhu! You threatened me back then, saying that Fenghua was not doing well and you would come after me. Over the years, Fenghua and I have quarreled over trivial matters, and I waited and waited, but I never got you. I thought you had forgotten about it."

"Time makes people grow old!" Wang Zhengguo sighed, "I didn't expect to meet you here. You guys are forgetful. I don't know where you are and I can't find you. Can't you go back to Wanglou Brigade?"

He said this on purpose because he knew Fenghua was not an ungrateful person.

Li Dazhu glanced around and whispered, "How dare I go back? I'm afraid of causing trouble! However, we are all keeping an eye on the Lu family's situation. We'd rather stay away now so that others don't know about our relationship. If something goes wrong in the future, no one will notice if we help each other secretly. My daughter is in the county committee, and my son is in the municipal committee. Although they are both small officials, they are very useful! Now, I know your brother, but your brother doesn't know me! Oh, my wife changed her name a long time ago, and now she is called Zhou Xianghong."

Wang Zhengguo suddenly said, "The recruitment quota allocated to Wanglou Brigade that year..."

Li Dazhu chuckled and did not deny it.

"I was wondering why the recruitment quota fell on our team." Meeting Li Dazhu finally solved a mystery in Wang Zhengguo's mind. You know, the recruitment quotas in the city are very tight, especially the quotas for miners. Everyone is racking their brains to squeeze in. Many times, the first condition for recruitment is to have a city household registration and academic qualifications, and rural people are rarely considered.

Li Dazhu waved his hand, unwilling to take credit for it. "Brother, I'll leave you an address later. If you have any difficulties, send someone to report it. I will never refuse to help you if I can. But I don't think you can use us for anything. Brother, you are a well-known person, and ordinary people dare not touch you."

Wang Zhengguo had made a great contribution by preventing anyone from starving to death in Wanglou Brigade. As long as he agreed, his promotion would be a sure thing. However, it was said that he couldn't bear to leave his fellow villagers and was only willing to stay in Wanglou Brigade and do his best for the people.

Wang Zhengguo said: "Don't laugh at me, just help me call me brother."

Li Dazhu glanced at the things on the mule cart and gave Wang Zhengguo a thumbs up. "Big brother, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still the same as always. If your youngest son could learn a little bit of your essence, he would not be a small clerk anymore."
