When Li Wenhui came back, Feng Daqiang and the two children told her that Tian Wenjun often visited the two children during her lifetime.
Not only did he come to visit, he also brought food to the children from time to time and helped Xueqin with housework.
Li Wenhui was really grateful, she said: "You always took good care of my children, my children told me everything.
Please don't be polite and eat more."
As for Jiang Wan, she also gave her children a lot of food.
Jiang Wan slept for the whole afternoon, but was still groggy.
Feng Daqiang was happy today because his wife came back and he shaved his beard.
Feng Daqiang said: "Come on, let's have a few more drinks today."
Chen Jianguo said: "Don't drink too much, just drink until you feel comfortable.
You two wives just came back today, what do you want to do by drinking so much?"
Zhang Qingdong said: "Then I'll drink two less cups."
The three grown men clinked their glasses together. Tian Wenjun had dinner in the restaurant. She took a few bites slowly and casually.
Anyway, all the dishes on the table were eaten up in the end.
They were having a small gathering here, and over in Chenjia Village, all the wheat from the wheat fields had been harvested.
After Chen Baoguo and his friends got married, the old couple were not idle either.
After the college entrance examination, Chen Liye and Chen Xiaolan also returned.
Also returning at the same time was Xu Daqiang's son Xu Cai.
After Xu Yucai came back, he lay at home and slept all day long. On the contrary, Chen Liye and Chen Xiaolan went to the fields to work every day.
Xu Daqiang asked Xu Yucai, "Son, how do you think you did in the exam?"
Xu Yucai vowed confidently, patting his chest: "I think I did very well in the exam, and it will be no problem for me to get into a junior college."
Tian Li's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Son, you are amazing. Your father and I are relieved when you say this.
We were waiting for you to get into university and be proud of the village. It's all because of that ungrateful Xu Zhaodi.
Bah, she even changed her name to a crappy one, Tian Wenjun.
Does she think that by giving herself a cultural name, she will become a cultured person?
Son, as long as you pass the exam, we can trample their whole family under our feet."
Xu Yucai said with a guilty conscience: "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely pass the exam."
Xu Daqiang was a little bit unconvinced. He knew very well what kind of person his son was.
The boy from the Chen family is studying hard. When he was working in the fields these days, someone in the village asked him how he did on the exam. The boy just smiled and said, "Uncle, aunt, I don't know either."
Xu Daqiang looked at his son again and felt a little panicked.
When others asked him, he just kept bragging.
In this kind of situation, the more boastful a person is, the worse his performance will be.
Xu Daqiang smoked his pipe, glanced at his son and said, "I'm telling you, before the results come out, you'd better keep your mouth shut.
If I fail the exam, it will be a disgrace to me.
Your mother and I are already well-known in the village, and you have to have a sense of justice when doing things.
You've slept quite a bit these days since you came back, so you should have gotten enough sleep now, right?
The field work will start tomorrow, so you should get up early and earn some money."
When Xu Yucai heard this, he complained, "Oh, Dad, after all, I am a high school graduate and a cultured intellectual. How can I go to the fields?
I don’t.”
When Xu Daqiang heard this, he felt unhappy.
Tian Li echoed, "That's right, our son is an educated man, how can an educated man go to the fields?
Son, I know you are tired from school, so we are not in a hurry to work. We will do it whenever you want."
Xu Daqiang said: "Just indulge yourself. If you continue to indulge us, our family will be ruined."
Tian Li rolled her eyes at Xu Daqiang and smiled kindly at Xu Yucai.
It turns out that she also has a kind side, but it's a pity that she doesn't have that towards Tian Wenjun.
Chen Liye was in school all his life. He used to save money for his family and lived frugally when he was growing up. He looked as thin as a telephone pole on the roadside.
But since Tian Wenjun came back from a trip before the New Year, she gave the two children some money before leaving, and their food has improved a lot. Now the two have grown a lot taller and look much stronger.
Chen Baoguo passed away. This summer, Chen Liye became the pillar of the family. He was a scholar with a refined manner and the air of a young student. Now he also wears a Ma褂, shoulder pads, and pulls a cart to work in the fields.
Zhang Qiang assigned Chen Liye an easier job, but Chen Liye felt that the easier job was worth less points, so he chose the harder job that was worth more points.
When the threshing floor was open, Chen Xiaohong also came. She could earn a few cents by tearing wheat all day.
Not far away, Zhang Qiang looked on with a frown.
When he came towards Chen Xiaohong, Chen Xiaohong's heart tightened.
What if he criticizes me like last time?
Zhang Qiang came over and asked, "Do your bones still hurt from working now?"
Chen Xiaohong was a little nervous. Her face turned slightly red and she said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Zhang Qiang knew she was afraid of being scolded, and thinking of the last time he made someone cry, he hesitated and said, "You can work, but you can only do the easier work.
If you do heavy work, I won't give you extra points."
When Chen Xiaohong heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She nodded and said, "Thank you, Secretary."
The word "branch secretary" made Zhang Qiang feel uncomfortable, but when he thought about it carefully, hearing her say thank you was better than seeing her cry.
"Okay, then take your time.
I still say that nothing is more important than your health. "
Chen Xiaohong nodded, and after Zhang Qiang left, several women around her winked at each other and whispered, "Does Zhang Qiang have a crush on Chen Xiaohong?"
"No way."
"Why do I look like it?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Zhang Qiang is not bad. Xiao Hong is pretty too, of course, but she is just second-hand goods. I, a woman, feel disgusted, let alone a man."
The people around her were whispering about something. Although Chen Xiaohong didn't hear it clearly, she always felt that these people were talking about her.
Her ears were burning intensely, an uncomfortable sensation.
Chen Xiaolan, who was standing by, saw that her sister looked unhappy, so she said, "Sister, if you are tired, take a rest."
Chen Xiaohong smiled with relief, she didn't feel tired at all.
No matter what they say, it has nothing to do with me.
Zhang Qiang returned to his seat, and Chen Dazhuang said to him, "Don't worry, if she can come, it means she is fine."
Zhang Qiang took a deep breath. He glanced at Xu Shicai, who was grinding wheat not far away, and then looked at Chen Liye, who was carrying wheat straw diligently nearby. They looked completely different.
Zhang Qiang took a breath, and Chen Dazhuang knew why he did it at a glance.
Chen Dazhuang said, "Don't watch him. He can make people angry just by watching him work. He works for the sake of showing his appreciation. I will just give him some points for the sake of showing my appreciation."
"You know what's going on."
Zhang Qiang didn't have time to care about these things right now. What he wanted to do now was to harvest the grain quickly and complete this year's task first before worrying about other things.
