When Zhu Feng returned to the village committee, he called his youngest son to leave Yanjiang Village.
He suppressed his anger and walked towards the county town. If they wanted to leave the Northeast, they had to go to the train station to buy tickets.
Zhu Feng's pace became faster and faster, and Zhu Xiande stumbled along behind him: "Dad, why are you walking so fast?"
"Anyway, we won't be able to catch the train even if we walk to the county town today. I asked when I got off the train, and they said there's only one train going to South City at 7 a.m."
Zhu Youde patted his brother's shoulder and said, "You are the one who talks too much. I haven't asked you what's going on with Jiang Ye's sister yet."
Zhu Xiande rubbed his shoulders and glanced at Zhu Feng who was walking in front. "Brother, keep your voice down. Are you afraid that our dad will not beat me up later?"
"What could possibly be wrong with me? How could I really fall for such a young girl? Then what's the difference between me and an animal?"
"He's one of my subordinates. He told me that he has a sister who is suffering in the countryside. Since I'm a good person, he wants to match us up so that his sister doesn't have to suffer in the countryside either."
Zhu Xiande regretted more and more as he spoke. Why didn't he ask Jiang Jie how old his sister was? Now he was the villain: "I just didn't ask how old his sister was. If I knew his sister was only fifteen, how could I agree to let him watch it?"
"Besides, she's only fifteen. What's she going to do in the countryside? Her arms aren't even as thick as the shoulder pole she's carrying. What kind of work can she do in the countryside?"
As he was speaking, Zhu Xiande was slapped on the back of his head again: "You are the only one in our family who talks too much. If she can go to the countryside, it must be because the street office has thoroughly reviewed it. Why do you have to care how she went to the countryside?"
"I think you shouldn't go back to work. I'll just send you to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in Beijing. That way, you won't end up with a brain the size of a walnut."
Zhu Xiande was not convinced and bumped Zhu Youde with his shoulder. Zhu Youde stood firmly and almost fell down: "Humph, you have been bullying me since I was a child. I won't go to school."
"I can earn quite a bit of money every month now, and I don't feel comfortable going back to school."
When Zhu Feng heard the noise, he came out of his anger. Seeing his little son say such useless words, his breath was stuck in his chest.
He walked over and kicked Zhu Xiande, who sat down on the ground. "Dad, why did you kick me? What's wrong? Are you partial to my eldest brother too?"
Zhu Feng wanted to kick him again, but Zhu Youde stopped him with a hand: "Do you know how hard it is to get a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University? You still don't know what's good for you."
"I think you are just a wild boar that can't handle fine bran. I've spoiled you."
Zhu Xiande couldn't walk anymore, so he just sat there without moving. Zhu Feng was also tired of scolding, so he just sat next to Zhu Xiande.
Seeing Zhu Xiande's stubborn look, he sighed in his heart. Nothing ever made him happy.
The father and his two sons rested for a while on the dirt road before Zhu Feng continued his journey with his two sons.
Zhu Xiande's interruption brought him back to his senses. He couldn't just give up on Jiang Ye's matter. He had promised the organization before coming that he would complete the mission no matter what.
Isn't it just taking Lu Zhian away with him? He will go back and ask the organization to conduct a thorough investigation in Beijing to see if there is any room for maneuver. What if Lu Zhian and his wife are wrongly accused?
A glimmer of hope rose in Zhu Feng's heart. "Let's go. Let's not go to the county town. Let's go to the commune instead. I'll call back. I don't believe I can't take Jiang Ye with me."
Zhu Xiande: “???”
Zhu Xiande silently followed Zhu Feng's footsteps, and the three of them, father and son, walked towards the commune.
