Chapter 93: Going to the Countryside as Educated Youth in the 1970s 57
In the middle of the night, Zhang Xiaojia took food and knocked Lu Xiao unconscious. Then, she called Xiao Ai to turn on the surveillance camera and secretly went to the cowshed, whispering, "Master, open the door."
The master secretly opened the door and said worriedly, "Niuniu, why are you here again?"
Zhang Xiaojia came in and saw the faces of his master's and his mistresses. They looked very healthy and rosy. He took their pulses directly and found that they were both in good condition.
Zhang Xiaojia whispered, "Master, Master, your complexions are too good. This is not okay! I made a cream specially for you. After applying it, your skin will appear waxy yellow, but this cream will not cause any harm to the skin and is also waterproof. Moreover, it has a very strong lasting power. You only need to apply it once a month to maintain the waxy yellow skin color." After that, she handed the cream to Master.
The middle-aged woman quickly took the cream and applied it on herself and her husband.
The master took out two exquisite boxes from his bosom and handed them to Zhang Xiaojia. Zhang Xiaojia curiously opened them and found that they were full of priceless imperial jade bracelets.
The master said calmly, "This was originally a gift for your mother and Leng Leng, but now I'll give it to you and Jiaojiao."
Zhang Xiaojia accepted the gift gratefully, and then said softly: "Thank you, Master. By the way, Master, I brought you some food. Also, I plan to get married in October, but I may not be able to bring He Fei to visit you."
Afterwards, Zhang Xiaojia placed the mooncakes and other food he brought on the table and enjoyed them with his master.
Zhang Xiaojia toasted to his master's father-in-law and his master's mother-in-law.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhang Xiaojia left some pills and got up to say goodbye.
When Zhang Xiaojia returned to the yard, she saw Xiaoyi waiting for her. He had cooked two bowls of soy sauce noodles, and the two of them ate in silence.
Xiaoyi said, "My mother wrote to me saying that after taking your nutritional pills, she no longer feels hungry even if she doesn't eat, and she feels more energetic. She also said that if the medicine is not expensive, it is suitable for promotion."
Zhang Xiaojia shook her head and said, "The cost is too high. I can only provide enough for five people a year. It's not suitable. These nutritional pills are only for my family. Don't tell my aunt and uncle, otherwise they won't eat them."
Xiao Yi finished her noodles with red eyes and said, "Eat quickly, I have to go wash the dishes."
After eating the noodles, Zhang Xiaojia touched his head, went back to sleep, and had a sweet dream all night.
The next day, Zhang Xiaojia was lying in the yard when she saw Fang Jingshan driving over.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at the car and had a feeling that this was a gift from Rolls-Royce to her.
Fang Jingshan walked in and threw the keys to Zhang Xiaojia. My God, she had her own private car.
Fang Jingshan said, "I'll give you a license and handle everything for you. You can open a car anywhere in this province and no one will bother you. But outside this province, you can't. Do you understand?"
Zhang Xiaojia nodded and quickly asked, "Uncle Fang, what about the gasoline for the car?"
Fang Jingshan pointed at the car and said, "There's a gas card inside. You can fill up your gas tank every month. What do you think about late-stage liver cirrhosis?"
"No problem! Foreigners? What did you give?"
"200 million in aid and a batch of the latest textile machines. In the future, patients can contact me. I have arranged a group of guards for the clinic. You only need to treat the patients and don't worry about other trivial matters." Fang Jingshan instructed. "You don't need to prepare meals either. Just make the menu."
That’s great, Zhang Xiaojia quickly agreed.
Fang Jingshan continued, "Your He Fei modified the technology of the intercom and invented the wireless telephone. When He Fei comes back this time, I don't expect him to have a wireless telephone, but he made me a wireless intercom. This way, it will be convenient for you. You don't have to stay in the clinic at the foot of the mountain all the time. You can stay here."
Zhang Xiaojia looked at him suspiciously and said, "Uncle Fang, you sound like you want to stay here?"
Fang Jingshan said in a scoundrel tone, "Why, you're not welcome? I'm not young anymore. If I don't get married soon, our Fang family will really be extinct."
Zhang Xiaojia was surprised and asked, "Then you have worked so hard for so many years to get this position, are you willing to give it up?"
Fang Jingshan said with bright eyes, "A lot of your credit goes to your father. Your father is stable. It's enough as long as your father is here."
Zhang Xiaojia exclaimed inwardly, "Oh my God, they want my dad to sit in that seat..."
Fang Jingshan patted her head and cursed, "Arrange a house for me."
Zhang Xiaojia snorted and said, "I like you being my uncle, but I don't necessarily agree with you being my uncle-in-law."
Zhang Xiaojia walked to the car with the car keys in her hand. Fang Jingshan suddenly said, "Xiaojia, can you drive?"
Zhang Xiaojia turned his head and looked at him in surprise, then suddenly realized what was happening and uttered two words, "No."
Zhang Xiaojia cried in her heart. In this world, she couldn't drive. She couldn't drive her car.
Fang Jingshan came over and said, "Come on, I'll teach you how to drive."
Zhang Xiaojia got into the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and was about to drive when he was hit.
Fang Jingshan said, "Adjust your seat and rearview mirror to ensure you can comfortably see the road conditions and vehicles ahead."
Zhang Xiaojia adjusted himself immediately.
"Press the clutch all the way down and start the car. After the car starts, slowly release the clutch while lightly pressing the accelerator to start the car smoothly. Remember, the clutch is the key to manual transmission. You must release it slowly and feel the point where the car and the clutch meet."
Zhang Xiaojia followed Fang Jingshan's instructions, started the car and drove slowly.
"Now we're going to learn how to shift gears. Before shifting, make sure the clutch is fully depressed to reduce the impact between gears. Then, select the appropriate gear based on the vehicle speed and tachometer. Generally speaking, start in first gear, and gradually shift to second and third gears as the vehicle speed increases..."
"When slowing down or stopping, first release the accelerator and lightly apply the brake to control the speed. If you need to downshift, press the clutch first and then shift to a lower gear. Remember, when driving at low speeds, do not use a high gear for a long time, as this will cause the vehicle to stall or shudder. When parking, shift the gear back to neutral, apply the parking brake, and finally turn off the engine."
It was time for Zhang Xiaojia to shift gears. Following Uncle Fang's instructions, she quickly and accurately pressed the clutch and gently pushed the gear lever from first to second. The car gradually accelerated, and she became more focused on the road conditions. Each gear shift became smoother and more natural.
Well, she thought she had learned it.
Zhang Xiaojia drove the car directly to the Women's Office and parked it skillfully. Fang Jingshan scolded her with a smile, "Did your father teach you how to drive?"
Zhang Xiaojia quickly said, "I've secretly opened it once or twice. I'm going to find Aunt Leng."
Fang Jingshan sneered, "How many times have you become so skilled?"
Zhang Xiaojia stopped talking to avoid being exposed. When he arrived at Aunt Leng's office, he saw Aunt Leng was about to go out.
"Why are you here? What's up?"
"Auntie, are you off work? Shall we go to the state-owned restaurant for lunch?" Zhang Xiaojia said, holding Auntie Leng's arm.
Aunt Leng looked at her suspiciously, "Jiaojiao, cook, and we'll eat at home."
Zhang Xiaojia pulled Aunt Leng into the car.
Fang Jingshan greeted "Sister Leng" with a smile
Aunt Leng nodded without saying anything, with a cold face.
Zhang Xiaojia's mouth twitched. Was it Fang Jingshan who was too enthusiastic? Aunt Leng wasn't interested?
With a snap, his head hurt so much that Zhang Xiaojia glared at Fang Jingshan.
Fang Jingshan said in a rude tone, "Just focus on driving."
The two men looked at Aunt Leng through the rearview mirror, but Aunt Leng had no expression on her face. Zhang Xiaojia snorted at Fang Jingshan and drove the car directly to Aunt Leng's small yard.
Zhang Xiaojia walked in holding Aunt Leng's hand, and Fang Jingshan actually took out a gift from the trunk.
As soon as Zhang Xiaojia saw the food, her face turned pale. It was almost October, and why was there another dish of braised noodles with bean peas? She was so upset.
Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Jiajia, I'll cook noodles for you. How about pickled vegetable and shredded pork noodles?"
Jiaojiao said to Fang Jingshan, "Eat this bowl of noodles first."
Zhang Xiaojia immediately said happily, "Okay." She followed Jiaojiao to the kitchen. "Sister, that person is Fang Jingshan."
Leng Jiaojiao thought for a moment and said, "My mom's admirer?"
Zhang Xiaojia asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"The look in his eyes when he looked at my mother was full of aggression," Jiaojiao replied.
"Sister, do you object?"
"No objection, as long as it's good for mom."
"Sister, our master and mistress gave each of us a bracelet. I'll give it to you when we get home tonight."
"I went to see my master's and his wife's last time, and Eighteen said they looked too good. No, they must look gray and dusty."
"Don't worry, I already took care of it yesterday."
Leng Jiaojiao cooked the noodles and the two of them ate in the kitchen without going out.
Zhang Xiaojia said proudly, "Sister, I have a car now. Ask Uncle Fang to teach you how to drive. You can drive to pick up Auntie in the future."
Leng Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Forget it! I'd better ask Shiba to drive a tricycle to pick up Mom, otherwise it would be too conspicuous."
Listening to the sound of the car starting, it seemed that Fang Jingshan had sent Aunt Leng to work.
Zhang Xiaojia and Leng Jiaojiao came to the living room and saw that Aunt Leng's bowl was clean. It seemed that Fang Jingshan had eaten the remaining noodles of Aunt Leng. Aunt Leng did have feelings for Fang Jingshan.
She and Jiaojiao looked at each other.
Leng Jiaojiao asked, "Jia Jia, tell me Fang Jingshan's personal information."
Zhang Xiaojia told Sister Jiaojiao everything he knew.
Fang Jingshan drove to the river and stopped.
A hint of anger flashed in Leng Lushuang's eyes, but she didn't say anything.
Fang Jingshan began to say, "That year I joined the army and later went to the front. My family couldn't contact me, and my mother thought I was dead. She was worried that if she died, there would be no one to give me a happy life. Fortunately, my mother saved a woman, so she married her for me. When I contacted my mother, I found out that I had a wife. At that time, I asked you to wait for me because I had to go back to arrange for this woman.
After I returned, I directly recognized that woman as my sister and entered her into the family tree.
I knew she had a childhood sweetheart, but her stepmother wanted to marry her to an old man. After I found her childhood sweetheart, I knew they were still in love, so I gave her a dowry and married her to her childhood sweetheart.
My mother was dying at the time, and I stayed to accompany her on her final journey. I wrote to you, but you didn't reply. Six months later, I returned, and you were about to get married.
Leng Lushuang said calmly, "I haven't received any letter from you, not even one. The news I received was that your mother died, and you married that woman. When you came back, you didn't give me any explanation, just told me not to get married. I'm no longer the eldest daughter of the Leng family. Who knows whether what you said is true or not."
Fang Jingshan was also angry. "Did you give me time to explain? Without even saying a word, you told the guards to kick me out."
Leng Lushuang looked at him coldly and said, "Whose father are you?"
Fang Jingshan said from the bottom of his heart, "Leng Jiaojiao's father."
A smile flashed in Leng Lushuang's eyes.
