Chapter 117 Hanged outside her house (revised)

Huo Lanci went to find Chen Qiao and the others, and stayed in the cave for a long time before leaving.

When he returned home, he found out that everyone was having a dinner at the educated youth site.

As soon as he entered the educated youth compound, he heard Chu Ming say, "Are they okay? Are they seriously injured?" He felt that Huo Lanci had been gone for so long because the people in Beishan were injured.

Huo Lanci stayed to help them treat their wounds.

Huo Lanci nodded: "It's a bit serious, so it will take a while."

Lu Guohua came out with a smile: "Aci, I've been waiting for you."

"We are all in for a treat today. Gao Zhiqing and Yu Zhiqing are cooking together. This is a rare opportunity."

Huo Lanci glanced at Lu Guohua and said, "I can eat the meals cooked by Yu Zhiqing every day."

Lu Guohua felt as if he was pierced by thousands of arrows when he heard this: "You don't have to show off in front of me." This guy really deserves a beating, but his fighting ability is too strong and no one can be his opponent.

He is not as eloquent as others, nor as strong in fighting as others, so what is he doing in this world?

Are you hurt?

Huo Lanci walked into the room with a smile: "Big Brother, I'm just stating a fact."

The fact is, he has spent more time cooking than Wanqing recently.

Of course, it is impossible to tell everyone this.

Lu Guohua snorted lightly: "Okay, okay, okay, what you say is the fact is the fact, and what you eat is the real thing." After saying that, he quickly sat down in his seat and asked everyone to start eating.

As soon as the eldest brother started talking, more than ten people started eating.

It was Luo Hui's first time eating Yu Wanqing's cooking, and he picked up his chopsticks more frequently than ever before.

He looked at Yu Wanqing: "Sister Yu, you are really amazing."

After saying that, he looked at Gao Qingmei again: "Sister Gao is also very amazing."

"The dishes you two cook are even better than those made by the chefs at the state-owned hotels."

Gao Qingmei and Yu Wanqing looked at each other. After just one meal, they changed from Yu Zhiqing Gao Zhiqing to Sister Yu and Sister Gao.

But no one corrected Luo Hui. Here, Luo Hui was indeed the youngest educated youth, having just turned seventeen.

It is not an exaggeration for him to call everyone brothers and sisters.

After the dinner at the educated youth center ended, Yu Wanqing returned home and looked carefully at the furnishings around her.

Although they have tried their best to restore it, there are still some differences.

Someone broke into her house and touched her things.

I guess he is here to search the map.

Thinking of this, she entered the space and began to search through the places she had been before.

But they didn't find the treasure map they suspected.

She didn't give up and started to work on the wooden boxes.

Finally, they found an invisible compartment in a wooden box and took out a dozen sheets of paper.

When I opened it, it was a map.

When I opened the other papers, I found that they were land deeds, house deeds, several maps, and a letter.

This is a letter written to the merchant's descendants. The letter clearly states that this is a map of a mountain range. It is a private island that the merchant's ancestor bought when he was buying property outside and he liked it very much.

In addition to this island, he also bought several mountains and many manors in several countries.

These are the escape routes they leave for the merchants’ descendants. If the merchants encounter danger in the future, they can choose to retreat outside.

There is a direct bloodline of merchants abroad.

The letter also contained the address, and the token of recognition was a white jade butterfly pendant.

If the descendants of domestic businessmen really leave, they will come back if they have the opportunity in the future.

If China is in trouble, no matter where the descendants of the merchants are, they must lend a helping hand and never stand idly by.

After watching it, Yu Wanqing had only one thought: the merchant died so unjustly.

The person behind you is worse than an animal.

Yu Wanqing rummaged around again and pulled out a white jade butterfly pendant from a corner of the mezzanine, with the word "Shang" engraved on it.

She knew in her heart that this was the token mentioned in the letter.

Yu Wanqing placed the letter, the map, and the white jade butterfly pendant in a brocade box, and if she really met the merchant's descendants in the future, she would return the things to them.

She did not tell Huo Lanci about the map, and she did not intend to talk about it with anyone.

As the autumn harvest begins, the weather starts to get cooler and you should wear a light coat in the morning.

At around six o'clock, Yu Wanqing, Huo Lanci and other educated youths walked together on the path to the grain-drying field. Before harvesting, they had to hold a meeting, and after the meeting they went to get the tools and start working.

Yu Wanqing was still assigned to harvest rice. The educated youth were all assigned to a piece of land, and everyone talked while they worked.

Yu Wanqing's body has been nurtured by the wood-related supernatural power, so this time, harvesting rice was no longer as tiring and painful as the first time.

Now she doesn't feel tired even if she is busy all day.

Of course, she only maintained a speed slightly faster than others. If she were faster, she would be an outlier.

Luo Hui was already shocked by Yu Wanqing's speed. Ji Qing, who was not far away, said, "Just get used to it. Yu Zhiqing is here to defeat us."

He even felt that there was no one in the world who could harvest rice faster than Yu Zhiqing.

"Is it because she is in good health, has good skills and great strength?" Luo Hui calmed himself down and stayed composed, not wanting to be too surprised.

"It's not necessarily because she's strong." Ou Jianguo said: "There are quite a few people in the village who are also very strong, but they can't work as fast as Yu Zhiqing. She is efficient, and others can't learn that."

"We just need to keep moving at a normal pace and never compare ourselves with Yu Zhiqing. It will only make us angry to death."

Ou Jianguo gave Luo Hui a friendly reminder because he was new here, otherwise this guy would probably not be able to sleep at night if he compared himself to Yu Zhiqing.

Luo Hui nodded obediently and closed his mouth which was slightly open due to shock: "Brother Qing, Brother Jianguo, I understand."

He buried his head in his work. He was already exhausted from the farm work some time ago, but he didn't expect that harvesting rice would be even more tiring.

He thought of his older sisters, none of whom were good at farm work. If his third sister had really gone to the countryside, she would definitely be crying now.

Guo Hongying can now harvest rice much faster than before. She feels that as long as she doesn't compare herself with Yu Wanqing, she can still be proud of herself.

Looking up, she found Chuan Ming not far away. The two looked at each other and Chuan Ming said, "If you are tired, just take a rest aside. I will help you when I am done."

"I don't need your help. I'll do as much as I can on my own."

She, Guo Hongying, would not take advantage of others at will.

Wan Qing once said that she would do as much as she could and she was not really waiting for the work to be distributed in return for a living. She would never do anything to take advantage of others.

Hongqi and Grandpa also said that they should do their own work and not trouble others.

She looked at Chuan Ming and said seriously, "Comrade Chuan Ming, I am now an independent lesbian."

Chu Ming looked at her serious expression and couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay, then I can't become a stumbling block for Guo Zhiqing's independent growth."

Guo Hongying nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "Even so, I still want to thank you."

She could see that Chu Zhiqing really wanted to help her.

Seeing Guo Hongying's stubborn look, Chuan Ming realized that he still had a long way to go before he could become her revolutionary partner. He sighed and continued to work.

Zhang Hongqi and Yu Wanqing witnessed this scene not far away and couldn't help laughing as they listened to the conversation between the two.

Yu Wanqing suddenly felt that Chu Ming was very unfortunate. Facing a girl like Guo Hongying, he didn't know when he would be able to win her heart.

The people in the educated youth group now maintain a consistent mentality, seeing through things but not saying anything, because they want to watch the show.

Yu Wanqing felt that if the truth was revealed and Chu Ming really succeeded, they would no longer be watching a show, but would be eating dog food.

So, the way it is now is good.

Especially from now until the rice ears next year, Chuan Ming does not have to patrol the mountains. He will go to work with everyone every day, and will spend more time with Guo Hongying.

I'm sure a lot of interesting things will happen.

Life in the countryside is so hard, and having some fun on weekdays can be considered a spice of life.

Zhang Hongqi's work area was right next to Yu Wanqing, and the two were less than a meter apart. She smiled and said, "When do you think Hongying will discover Chu Ming's little tricks?"

"As long as we don't tell anyone and Chu Ming doesn't tell anyone himself, Hongying may not know Chu Ming's thoughts in two years." Yu Wanqing said slowly: "Chu Ming was bitten by a snake, so he is very cautious now."

"Without absolute certainty, she won't take action."

Zhang Hongqi nodded, agreeing with Yu Wanqing's words.

"Actually, this matter cannot be blamed on him. Anyone would hope for a smoother future." Zhang Hongqi noticed that Chu Ming made some probing moves before expressing his thoughts.

A silent test of language.

This is human nature.

"Hongying has changed a lot in the past few months," Yu Wanqing said. "Now she knows how to think for herself."

Zhang Hongqi hummed, then remembered the news she had heard two days ago. She looked around, then trotted to Yu Wanqing's field of responsibility and whispered, "I heard that Comrade Ye Shulan and Li Zhiqing are getting married in October."

"So soon." Yu Wanqing was a little surprised. The two of them did have a good relationship, but she never expected that they would get married so early.

"I heard from the ladies that once people here fall in love with each other, they start planning to get married." Zhang Hongqi looked at Yu Wanqing: "In fact, many people in Beijing are like this."

"But if you want to get married in the brigade, you have to miss the harvest and sowing seasons."

This is an unwritten rule in the countryside.

This is also the reason why Li Wenzhou and Ye Shulan chose to get married in October.

Yu Wanqing thought about Li Wenzhou's family conditions, and then thought about Ye Shulan's family. Hongying said that Li Wenzhou's grandmother was a very powerful old lady. She felt that Li Wenzhou's marriage would definitely not be so smooth.

What Zhang Hongqi and Yu Wanqing didn't know was that at this moment, the Li family, a subsidiary of the Beijing Textile Factory, was holding a meeting about Li Wenzhou.

Grandma Li, who is in her sixties, looks energetic and sits in the main seat.

Sitting on both sides were Li Wenzhou's father and mother, and below them were his brother and sister-in-law, and his sister and brother-in-law.

Grandma Li said in a deep voice: "I called you here just to talk about Wenzhou's search for a partner in the countryside."

Li Wenhang, the eldest brother of the Li family, looked at his grandmother calmly: "It's Wenzhou's own business to find a partner. Grandma, do you have to interfere with him?"

"Or is it not enough for you to control my grandson? You also want to control Wenzhou, which is thousands of miles away?" Li Wenhang said, completely ignoring his grandmother's gloomy face, and looked at his father and mother: "What about you?"

"What do you think?"

When Li's father and mother heard what their eldest son said, their faces turned unhappy. Li's father said in a deep voice: "Your grandmother is also doing this for your own good. A family like ours is not suitable for marrying a girl from the countryside."

Li Wenhang sneered: "So what if she's a girl from the countryside? Is she too embarrassed to be seen?"

"Wenzhou said Comrade Ye was his savior. If it weren't for the rural girl you mentioned, Wenzhou would have died."

Mother Li frowned: "Wenhang, we are just telling the truth."

"You are not telling the truth, but you are worried that relatives whose families are worse off than ours will come to ask for money. You are worried that people will gossip about you when you go out." Thinking of how this room of people had forced him, he could not help but sneer.

I think their faces are really funny.

"Don't use your self-righteous excuses to cover up your hypocritical faces. Do you really think that people outside don't know who you really are?"

After saying this, Li Wenhang stood up, picked up his military coat and put it on: "If you came back to me, it was to discuss how to stop Wenzhou from getting married. Don't come to me next time."

"I fully support Wenzhou marrying the lesbian he likes. Not only will I support him, I will also give him a big gift before the wedding."

After saying this, he looked at the beautiful woman beside him and said, "Let's go home."

He Yuxing stood up after hearing this, still with a proper smile on her face, and said to the people in the room: "Grandma, Mom, Dad, Sister and Brother-in-law, Wenhang and I will go back first."

After saying this, she followed Li Wenhang and strode out of the Li family's house.

When Grandma Li and Li's parents saw this, they were so angry that their hands were shaking. Grandma Li pointed at Li Wenhang's back and said, "Look, look, what kind of attitude is Wenhang having."

"I did that for him, didn't I?" Grandma Li was so angry that she slammed the table and cursed: "You heartless wolf cub, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have been able to marry a girl as good as Xing'er."

Wenfang, the elder sister of the Li family, who had been silent, looked at her grandmother and said, "Grandma, don't be angry. Wenhang is just like that. Let's talk about Wenzhou."

Both Mr. and Mrs. Li were worried that the old lady might get angry and do something bad, so they quickly tried to persuade her.

Grandma Li took a deep breath and snorted coldly: "I'm going to the Five Star Brigade. I'll rent a room there and live there. If that girl dares to marry Wen Zhou, I'll die outside their house."

"I don't believe this. Does Wenzhou still dare to get married?"

Father Li and Mother Li looked at each other, and Mother Li frowned and said, "Mom, this is not good. It will affect Wenzhou."

"That female comrade is Wenzhou's savior. If this happens, we will all be drowned in spit."

She didn't want her son to marry a country girl, but not to the extent that the old lady did.

The girl didn't do anything wrong, there's no need to make things so drastic.

Li's mother looked at her husband and said, "We can't do this."
