"Yuzhu, you really haven't learned this before?"
Ye Qingqing looked at it with some suspicion.
Tian Yuzhu smiled and said, "I come from a small mountain village. Where can I get the opportunity to learn?"
Ye Qingqing couldn't help but sigh: "That's really strange!"
She rarely praised others, but at this moment she couldn't help herself and said, "How about this, I'll teach you when I have the chance. I'll get you a few books first, and you can read and learn as you go."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Ye."
After thanking her, Tian Yuzhu suddenly realized that the silly girl’s character was illiterate, and Shi Zhentang had only taught her a few simple words.
So he immediately changed his words: "I asked Zhentang to teach me how to read."
Shi Zhentang opened his mouth and was about to say something when Li Shengli suddenly came into the room excitedly.
"I just received a call, the third brother and Brother Shi are home!"
Yes, if you count the time, those two funny guys have been away for two days, it’s time for them to go home!
Shi Zhentang and Tian Yuzhu both breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that the two did not get lost along the way.
Li Shengli saw the silver needle on Shi Zhentang's shoulder and immediately became curious: "Brother, does it hurt? Is it numb?"
Shi Zhentang glanced at him and said, "Why don't you give him a couple of injections as well?"
"No, I have healthy hands and feet, why would I need acupuncture? I'm leaving now. Just take your time."
“…”
This guy slipped away without hesitation!
At the same time, in Quanshui Village, thousands of miles away.
When the news of the brothers Shi Weimin and Shi Weiqiang returning to the village spread, the villagers couldn't help but come to their homes to join in the fun.
Everyone stood casually in the yard, listening attentively to Shi Weiqiang's bragging.
The city outside is big and the money is easy to make.
See, by unloading a truckload of cement a day, the two brothers can earn six dollars a day.
Six bucks!!!
How many work points would one have to accumulate to exchange for so much money? All the men, young and old in the village were a little flustered, and some even secretly thought that if they had the chance, they would also like to go out and try their luck.
At this moment, the village party secretary came over with his hands behind his back and said, "Alright, alright, Third Brother, put away your arrogance. I have something serious to say."
"What's the matter?"
"It must be about sowing tomorrow."
No one in the village was interested in what would happen tomorrow; they all wanted to continue listening to Shi Weiqiang bragging.
The village party secretary waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow our village will divide the private plots."
What?
The whole village was stunned. They heard it but no one dared to believe it.
People had heard rumors about private plots a long time ago, but no one expected that this day would actually come true.
"Village Chief, is this true?"
"Are you really dividing the land?"
The village party secretary said sternly, "How could I be talking nonsense? We'll distribute it tomorrow, according to the number of people in each household. The grassy fields on the hillside of our village are very fertile. You can plant whatever you want after you get them. But the land in the village cannot be abandoned. You must work on it as usual when it's time to do so. No one is allowed to slack off."
It seems that this is true!
The villagers immediately became excited: "Don't worry, Village Chief, we will do our best."
The good news of the distribution of private plots blew away Shi Weiqiang's boasting. Seeing that no one was listening to him anymore, he tucked his head between his legs and went into the house.
Old Madam Lü Huanying sat on the kang mending clothes for her child. She looked up at him and said, "Third brother, is your second brother really okay?"
"It's really okay, how could my brother and I lie to you?"
It was the first time Shi Weimin lied, and he didn't even dare to raise his eyelids: "I didn't lie to you, grandma."
At this moment, Shi De walked into the house with a sad face: "Third brother, you don't have to worry about the division of the land. While you have some money, go to the city to find Xiaoli tomorrow."
"No, Dad, my second brother has asked his friends at the Public Security Bureau to look for him. How can I find him?"
Shi Weiqiang became stubborn and said he would not go no matter what.
He had some money on hand, but it didn't make sense to look for someone alone. Dad had no idea how big the world outside was.
Seeing that he was unwilling, Shi De immediately glared at him and said, "You beast, Xiaoli is your own sister, how can you bear to see her get into trouble?"
"Dad, why are you swearing at me? I'm a beast, so what are you? Besides, Xiaoli ran away on her own. What does it have to do with me?"
"You bastard, we are a family!" Shi De was furious and raised his hand to slap him, but Shi Wei grabbed his wrist forcefully.
"You've loved beating me since we were little. Even now that I'm older, you still want to beat me. I'll let you beat me..."
The strength of the young man was no joke. If he had used only half his strength to push, Shi De would have almost fallen down.
Shi Weimin and Su Zhen hurried forward to support him.
Chengcheng and Doudou were so scared that they huddled in the corner of the kang.
Lu Huanying snapped her hands in annoyance and pressed the sewing on the table. "Stop it!"
The father and son were forced to stop tearing each other apart.
The old lady then cursed: "Shi De, as a father, how can you scold your son like this? He is a beast, so aren't you an old beast? And you, third brother, you can stop your father from doing it, but you can't do anything to him. He is your father..."
"Then he has to act like a father." Shi Weiqiang roared at the top of his lungs, pushed away his eldest brother Shi Weimin's hand, turned around and ran out angrily.
He finally came back from another place after traveling thousands of miles.
I didn't expect that my father would scold me before I even stood firmly on my feet. I felt so depressed.
After rushing out of the hospital, I looked at the stars in the night sky and felt so lonely and cold that I felt uneasy.
So, he turned around and walked towards the second commune.
Inside the house...
The old lady continued to persuade Shi De: "The police are looking for him but there's no news. If you ask Lao San to go out and look for him, where can he go to find him? Besides, Lao San has never been far away. What if he gets lost again?"
"I know you're worried about Xiaoli's safety, but no matter how worried you are, you need to be organized and not panic. Since there's nothing you can do right now, let the police find her. As a father, you should just live a peaceful life with your third child. As for Xiaoli, she'll come back one day. She can't make it in the outside world. Just wait and see."
Shi De was scolded by the old lady and returned home in shame.
He found that his yard was dark and the third brother, that bastard, didn't even go back to the house.
He felt so upset. How could he live like this?
He squatted in the corner of the yard, wiped away his sad tears, and lit a cigarette while sobbing.
On the other side, Shi Weiqiang, who was also feeling uncomfortable, walked towards the Second Commune with one foot high and one foot low. The muddy road in winter turned into a dry mud road after the spring, and it was common to see potholes of all sizes and unevenness on the road.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally fell down, and when he felt the pain somewhere on his body, he came to his senses...
There aren't any wolves in the dark forests on both sides of the road, are there?
He recalled that scene: three gray wolves, being respectful in front of his second sister-in-law.
The more I think about it, the more cold sweats I break out.
Shi Weiqiang screamed and quickly jumped up from the ground, running towards the Second Commune in a hurry.
