Chapter 96 The new sister-in-law ran away again? (Please order first)
July 11, 1982 was a Sunday and also the third day after the college entrance examination.
Li Ye's sister-in-law Li Mingxiang came with her family to have a free meal.
Of course, the meal was not free. Uncle Zhao Yuanchao got two rabbits, two local chickens, and also brought two bottles of white wine and two bags of tea for the old man.
"It's not a festival, why bring so many things? Can the house be short of food for you?"
While Wu Juying was complaining about her little daughter, she was directing her daughter-in-law Han Chunmei to pick up rabbits and chickens. She seemed annoyed, but she was actually very happy.
At her age, she naturally hopes to have many children and grandchildren around her all day long. Although her youngest daughter lives with her in Qingshui County, she cannot visit her daughter more than once a month, and she misses her daughter very much.
"Has Xiao Ye finished the college entrance examination? Shouldn't I, as her aunt, come over to show some concern?"
While helping Han Chunmei kill and remove the feathers from the chicken, Li Mingxiang quietly asked her mother, "How did Xiaoye do in the exam this year?"
Wu Juying said, "Your nephew has become very capable. He wouldn't tell me when I asked him, but he promised me a few days ago that he would be able to go to college in Beijing."
"Going to Beijing?" Li Mingxiang lowered her voice and said slyly, "Mom, I heard that Mr. Ke from the County No. 2 Middle School..."
"Don't ask!"
Wu Juying's face suddenly turned fierce, and she said in a deep voice: "From now on, no one is allowed to ask this question. If someone asks you, you just say you don't know. Do you hear me?"
"Oh, I see, mother."
Li Mingxiang curled her lips and stopped asking.
At home, my mother Wu Juying is the sky. If she really gets angry, she can be much more powerful than my father Li Zhongfa.
Li Mingxiang is not a talkative person, but the county town is so small. When Teacher Ke brought Wen Leyu to visit, someone saw them.
Before Teacher Ke returned to Beijing, many people avoided her for fear of getting into trouble.
As a result, now that he has been reinstated, all the sarcastic comments left by envious people have reached Li Mingxiang's ears, right?
However, Li Mingxiang didn't dare to ask, but others had not given up, such as her daughter Zhao Meiwen.
Today, after Zhao Meiwen came to her grandmother's house with her parents, she saw that her cousin Li Ye had already gotten up, so she ran over to find Li Ye.
After she entered the room, she found Li Ye was concentrating on writing a manuscript.
"Deserter in the Fire" has already been written for more than one million words, and is about to reach the end of the story where Xiao Zhixianxian breaks off. Li Ye also plans to make a phased ending first and see how the momentum develops in the future.
In recent months, he has been urged by a bunch of big guys to update his work. It is really too difficult and stressful. He needs a rest.
Seeing his cousin come in, Li Ye didn't stop writing and said casually, "Why don't you go play with your sisters? There are candies in the schoolbag at the door, take them and eat them yourself."
Li Ye is the little emperor of the family. He has been given candies all the time since he was a child. As long as this cousin comes, he will definitely take advantage of it.
"I don't care about candy! I'm more interested in your novel."
Zhao Meiwen, who already calls herself a "big kid", lays her upper body on Li Ye's desk, leaning over to look at Li Ye's manuscript. Her eyes are lively and her spirits are high. She is a completely different type from her peer Li Juan.
"Hey, Xiaowen, you know about novels? Tell me, how is my novel?"
Li Ye played a self-righteous Versailles game, trying to trick the little girl into saying some words of admiration.
But Zhao Meiwen's eyes flickered and she didn't say anything like "Brother, you are so nice, brother, you are so great" for a long time.
Li Ye became interested, put down his pen, and asked, "Xiao Wen, do you have any opinions about my novel?"
Zhao Meiwen nodded and said, "Brother Xiaoye, I don't deny that you write well. The teacher also said that you write well, but I think you are too ruthless."
"I am ruthless?"
"Yes," Zhao Meiwen said, "Zuo Lan died, and Cui Ping's ending was not good either. Brother Xiaoye, you only care about the overall situation when writing novels, but ignore the feelings of ordinary people.
The feelings between people are the most beautiful thing that should be described in this world."
"Hiss~"
[The little girl's thoughts are very open-minded! ]
Li Ye felt that he had underestimated Zhao Meiwen. It turned out that this junior high school student born in 1982 was not so dull.
But then, Zhao Meiwen moved closer to Li Ye and asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you know Qiongyao?"
“.”
Li Ye became alert instantly.
In the 1980s, the Qiongyao novels were considered a scourge in the eyes of school teachers!
The heroines she created were either otherworldly or exquisitely refined and pure.
Either she is independent and heroic, or she is sad and pitiful. I don't know how many boys and girls' hearts she has captured.
Li Ye nodded and said, "If you mean the one across the strait, I have heard a little about it."
Zhao Meiwen immediately said excitedly: "It's her, it's her. I saw her work in Strait Magazine. It's called "People on the Edge."
Zhao Meiwen activated her oratorical talent and narrated the general plot of "The Edge of Life" in a vivid and vivid voice, hoping to convey her personal feelings to Li Ye.
But till the end, Li Ye maintained the same posture and expression as at the beginning, showing no sign of being moved.
Qiong Yao's "Man on the Edge" was published in a mainland magazine in 1981. For mainlanders who have never read romance novels, the plot of a poor boy being favored by a rich girl in a foreign country was naturally a shocking story.
But for someone like Li Ye, who has seen too many stories like "a woman three thousand years older than herself becomes an immortal", it is just like that.
But when Zhao Meiwen finally spoke out her "reading notes", Li Ye knew that he had been careless.
"Brother Xiaoye, as long as a boy is good enough, no matter what the girl's family background is, he can be worthy of her.
[So you went through so much trouble to comfort me? ]
Li Ye looked at Zhao Meiwen who was speaking with certainty, looked around for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Wen, are you telling me a story on purpose?"
Zhao Meiwen just laughed and said nothing.
Li Ye asked directly: "Tell me! Have you heard gossip about me again?"
Zhao Meiwen felt uncomfortable being stared at by Li Ye, so she had to confess: "Some of my classmates' brothers and sisters are in the county No. 2 Middle School. They said that my new sister-in-law went to Beijing again."
[What is a new sister-in-law? What is another? ]
Li Ye could guess the general idea just by thinking about it.
Lu Jingyao mentioned above was admitted to university and went to Beijing and ran away.
Now that Wen Leyu's family is from Beijing and their social status is not low, he has to run away.
To take pleasure in other's misfortune and feel happy about oneself.
Li Ye snorted and said, "Are your classmates saying that I, Li Ye, am a fool who refuses to learn a lesson, first from Lu Jingyao, and now from this new sister-in-law?"
Zhao Meiwen was a little embarrassed, but immediately said: "But I absolutely don't believe it, Brother Xiaoye, look at Xu Zhimo, as long as there is talent, any talented girl from aristocratic family can..."
“Stop, stop, stop!”
What kind of birds are these?
Li Ye slapped Zhao Meiwen on the head, causing the little girl to cover her head in pain.
"Children of your age must focus all their energy on studying. From now on, you should stop reading these nonsense novels!"
Seeing that Zhao Meiwen was still unconvinced, Li Ye added: "I will talk to my aunt about this. Don't let bad thoughts affect your studies."
Zhao Meiwen jumped up and shouted, "Brother Xiaoye, I support you. You can't repay kindness with enmity, be ungrateful, and be ungrateful."
Children in their rebellious period will never allow others to infringe upon their "freedom and rights", and for this reason they will not hesitate to rise up and fight against tyranny.
However, what they get in return is always repression.
“Thump, thump, thump~”
Just at this moment, rhythmic industrial noise rang out in the yard, disrupting the argument in the cabin.
As expected, Li Ye's Xingfu 250 started up, rumbling away, for the two grown men to caress and admire.
Yesterday, Li Kaijian skipped half a day's work and took a few co-workers to build a shed in the yard, which was surrounded by waterproof tarpaulins to park the Xingfu 250.
This is just like the situation in later generations where dogs worth tens of thousands of dollars must be equipped with a kennel worth thousands of dollars.
And today, Zhao Yuanchao came to the house, so Li Kaijian naturally had to show off.
Although Zhao Yuanchao is the director of the North City Police Station, the vehicle he usually uses to handle cases is a 90% new bicycle.
There was a line in a movie about grassroots personnel at that time: "The criminals are running away on motorcycles in front, and we are chasing them on bicycles behind!"
In 1982, not having a car was like having no legs. Even the county branch had few motor vehicles. They were like precious treasures, and we couldn't wait to burn incense to worship them.
There are hundreds of people in the system. If they want to use a car, they have to apply in advance, and then wait for approval based on the urgency of their application. Just filling out forms and queuing is enough to give people a headache.
It was not until the late 1980s that grass-roots units like Zhao Yuanchao's were equipped with three-wheeled motorcycles, ending the frustration and embarrassment of having to rely on foot to catch people.
Zhao Meiwen leaned on the window and looked at the 250 with great interest.
Li Ye said: "Did you see it? It was given to me by someone. Now you know what it means, right?"
Zhao Meiwen nodded and said, "I know. They said that this is the compensation given to you by my new sister-in-law's family because they don't want to owe you a favor, just like the three hundred taels of silver in the case of the beheading of Mei."
At this time, the little girl has already regarded Li Ye as her enemy. She will give a slap to anyone who dares to hinder her from liking Qiong Yao.
"I"
Li Ye resisted the urge to beat the naughty boy, because he knew that many things would get worse the more they were explained.
In fact, Zhao Meiwen has a very good heart. She went through so much trouble with me today. Isn't it because she hopes that I can cheer up, forge ahead, and stay together with Wen Leyu forever?
But the little girl had no idea that Wen Leyu was different from all the other girls.
If Li Ye is wrong again this time, he will simply admit that he is blind and will never see the kindness in the world again, and will turn evil directly.
No matter whether she is a good girl or a bad girl, just throw them all into the same pot.
