"Are there guests at home?" Qi's father hung his hat on the clothes hanger.
Wang Shuning stood up and called politely, "Hello, uncle."
"Sit down, no need to stand up." Father Qi smiled lovingly and asked Wang Shuning and Zhang Meili to sit down.
"Dad, this is Wang Shuning, you met him at the mall last time."
Father Qi nodded. He remembered it and was deeply impressed.
"This is her friend, Zhang Meili. They are both educated youth who went to work in Dafeng Village."
At the dinner table, Qi Jianping told his father about Guo Jingyi's situation and asked him if he had any solution.
Qi's father said: "I have seen Shan Congyun before. He is selfish and has a strong desire for power. If Shan Mo's behavior affects Shan Congyun's future, he will no longer protect him."
Wang Shuning understood a little, "Uncle means that Chaoyang County is under D City, and the Public Security Bureau here listens to the city's. If a higher-level leader knows about Shan Mo's evil deeds, Shan Congyun will abandon Shan Mo."
Father Qi smiled faintly, "You are very smart, but where can you find a bigger leader? Without a letter of introduction, you can't even leave City D."
Wang Shuning didn't respond. Lu Beichu's family had some connections in Beijing, so they should be able to do something.
After all, the country's top leaders are concentrated in Beijing, but if there is no evidence, the other party will not easily believe it and come down to investigate.
Mother Qi couldn't help but ask, "Don't the educated youth who went to the countryside have a holiday during the Spring Festival? Didn't you go back home during the Spring Festival?"
Wang Shuning explained: "We just went to the countryside last October, and we were only able to go home during the Chinese New Year this year."
"Where is your hometown? Is it far from City D?"
Qi Jianping looked at his mother. It seemed that she had not given up on bringing him and Wang Shuning together.
Wang Shuning replied: "Beijing City."
Zhang Meili: "Su City."
"Jing City, that's a good place. Your father and I went there when we were young." Mother Qi raised her eyebrows and looked at Qi Jianping.
After dinner, Wang Shuning said hello to Qi's father and mother and left with Zhang Meili. Ge Nie caught up with Wang Shuning and walked with them, as he also wanted to go home.
Qi's mother pointed at Qi Jianping and said, "Why can't you learn from Ge Nie, who is so attentive? If you are like this, even if someone is interested in you, he will fall in love with someone else and be kidnapped by someone else."
He talks little and can't coax girls. After marriage, such a man is praised by others for being honest and family-oriented, but before marriage, the matchmaker will say that he is dull.
Qi's father came to his son's rescue, "Jianping's face is here, and many people will look back at him. You don't have to worry about his marriage."
Mother Qi pursed her lips and sighed, "Do you think you can solve the problem the girl mentioned? It's a big trouble to be targeted by gangsters. You should think of a solution."
Qi's father replied, "I think that girl named Wang Shuning should have already made up her mind. Shan Congyun is the director of the city's Public Security Bureau. What can I, the director of the Chaoyang County Automobile Manufacturing Plant, do?"
On the way back to the hospital, Zhang Meili said anxiously, "Let's tell Jingyi the truth and persuade her not to go to work at the state-owned restaurant in town. When Lu Beichu is discharged from the hospital, let them go to the office to register their marriage immediately. I don't believe that Shanmo and Wang Tuzi will snatch a married woman away."
After hearing what Wang Shuning had learned from Qi Jianping's family, Guo Jingyi said, "The village chief has taken me to the town to complete the formalities. I will be working at the restaurant in two days. Can I change it now?"
The mayor also said that he wanted to go to the restaurant to eat the meal she cooked. If he changes his mind now, he will inevitably have to trouble her again.
Lu Beichu held Guo Jingyi's slender hand tightly, "I can get out of bed with one foot using a cane. You can go back to the village with them and explain the situation to the village chief. I'm just an apprentice, not a chef. It's okay if you don't go."
It is difficult to find a job in the town, but it is not difficult to refuse a job as many people are vying for one position.
Guo Jingyi nodded slightly, her eyes a little wet.
I thought I would finally be able to change my fate by no longer having to work in the fields in the village, but now all my fate has been ruined.
"If Guo Jingyi is in the village and those people still don't give up, you should consider writing to your family. Maybe they will be able to find a way." Wang Shuning stared at Lu Beichu and offered his suggestion.
Guo Jingyi raised her chin and met Lu Beichu's gaze, hoping to hear an answer from him that would reassure and satisfy her.
Lu Beichu said, "If they still don't give up, then we can only take a gamble."
Guo Jingyi shook Lu Beichu's hand again and felt relieved. At least she was not alone in this strange era.
When Wang Shuning was returning to the village and passing by the town market, he saw a cart parked next to the state-owned restaurant. There were a lot of furniture on it, all of which were expensive goods.
Wang Shuning stepped on the brakes and said to Zhang Meili and Guo Jingyi, "You go back first. I'm going to the mall to buy some things."
Guo Jingyi was in a hurry to go back to see the village chief and had no time to wait for Wang Shuning, so she asked Zhang Meili to take her back to the village.
Wang Shuning parked his bicycle in the alley opposite the hotel and covered his head and face with a scarf, leaving only his eyes exposed.
The movers carried their belongings into the alley behind the restaurant.
A familiar face appeared at the entrance of the alley. Wang Shuning immediately turned around and leaned against the wall. It was indeed Wang the Butcher.
The row of houses behind the restaurant is just a little way in front of Wang Juan's house, and it only takes a dozen minutes to walk there.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Shuning pushed his cart to the state-owned shopping mall to find Wang Juan.
"You seem to be in a good mood. Auntie wasn't sent to Jinshan Island for support, right?"
Wang Juan nodded with a smile on her face. "No one wanted to do that. The school was embarrassed and decided by drawing lots. My mom didn't get picked. It's a pity that the female teacher who got picked got married a month earlier than me. Now the couple have to live apart."
Wang Shuning picked up a piece of coarse cloth and said, "I just saw someone moving on the street. The furniture on the cart looked new and of very good quality. I wonder where they bought it?"
Wang Juan was stunned for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "I heard from my mom that some serious strangers have come to town, some ruffians who are not to be trifled with. I heard that they are visiting relatives in town and will stay for a long time. My mom specifically asked my dad to come to the mall to tell me not to go back to my parents' home during this period, to go home directly after get off work, and not to hang around outside."
Wang Shuning was surprised. "How can you not mess with a scoundrel? If you get into trouble, can't you just go to the police station?"
Wang Juan shook her head obscurely, "I heard that he has relatives in the city, so he's not easy to mess with."
"So that's how it is." Wang Shuning pretended to nod. Before he walked out of the mall, he saw Wang Butzi following a thin man with a respectful look.
The man looked a little bald on top of his head, with very little hair. He was wearing loose clothes, a bit like a suit.
In Wang Shuning's opinion, it was the kind of funny image where one failed to pretend to be cool and ended up being a loner.
Is he Shanmo?
Wang Shuning put on his hat, clasped his hands to his chest, and walked past as if nothing had happened.
Guo Jingyi returned to Dafeng Village and immediately went to the village chief's house to find He Haiming.
