Because Fan Hua knew that foreign language subjects would be added to the college entrance examination in 1979, she borrowed some English newspapers and periodicals from Su Wen, mainly for the purpose of helping Geng Ailing improve her foreign language skills.
Geng Ailing really couldn't believe how Fan Hua, who also graduated from junior high school, could be so smart. Not only could she tutor her in other subjects, but she could also teach her English. Moreover, she felt that Fan Hua's English level was not much worse than Su Wen's!
This morning, the two were reading and studying again...
"Lihua, how did you learn English? The junior high school teachers in our village didn't teach this!"
"My eldest brother went to high school. When I was at home, I always liked to read his books and learned a lot." Fan Hua knew that people around her would be suspicious. Fortunately, she was only with Geng Ailing, so she could make up an excuse to explain. As for whether her eldest brother went to high school or not, she didn't know.
Geng Ailing really didn't know whether Fan Hua's brother had ever been to high school. She thought what Fan Hua said was true and praised him, "You are amazing. You can learn so well by self-study. You will definitely be able to get into college. I am so stupid!"
"Sister Ai Ling, you have learned the knowledge in junior high school very well. I will help you learn the knowledge in high school. There will definitely be no problem. There is still about a year left. Don't be discouraged!"
"Yeah, luckily you're here! Lihua, I always have a feeling that my fate has changed since I met you in the inn, and it's getting better and better now. You're my benefactor, and I believe everything you say!"
Fan Hua was stunned for a moment. Isn’t it true? Her arrival changed the fate of the original owner and Geng Ailing!
But Geng Ailing is worth it. She firmly believes that the dream she had before about Geng Ailing is the hidden plot in the book. In the original book, Geng Ailing protected Fan Lihua until her death. So in this life, she will be nicer to Geng Ailing on behalf of the original owner!
"Sister Ai Ling, you are also my benefactor. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be able to come here. I would either still be homeless or would have gone back to marry an old man!"
"No, I think with your intelligence, you would have lived a good life even if you hadn't met me! You are so smart and intelligent, you can live a good life no matter where you go. I don't know how the rumors about you being stupid spread in the village before!"
Fan Hua pretended to be angry and said, "Sister Ai Ling, can you please stop talking about my past dark history?"
Sister Ailing laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, I won't mention it again. If you are really stupid, then I can only describe myself as worse than pigs and dogs!"
Fan Hua was choked by her saliva. Is there anyone who describes himself like this? !
Outside the house, Director Xie, who was about to knock on the door, happened to hear Geng Ailing's words. The expression on his face was so complicated. He really didn't know what was in this woman's mind. She actually used the words "worse than pigs and dogs" to describe herself.
He twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and knocked on the door.
The two people in the room stopped chatting immediately after hearing the knock on the door. Geng Ailing put the book she was reading upside down on the table and stood up while shouting, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Xie Yongliang."
Geng Ailing and Fan Hua looked at each other and went to open the door faster. Fan Hua also put down the book and stood up to greet him.
When I opened the door, I saw Xie Yongliang, who was wearing a police uniform, tall and straight, and no longer using a cane.
Geng Ailing immediately smiled and asked, "Director Xie, why are you here?"
"I came to tell you about your cousin, and to give you the reward for helping to capture the enemy spy last time!"
When Geng Ailing heard this, she immediately welcomed Xie Yongliang into the house, "Director Xie, please come in and talk!"
Xie Yongliang followed into the main room without hesitation. He saw that there were books on the two sewing machines in the room. They were high school textbooks. He asked curiously, "Are you reading?"
Geng Ailing smiled shyly. She didn't want too many people to know that she was going to take the college entrance exam before she passed. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if she failed. So she said, "Hey, just take a look."
Xie Yongliang didn't say anything more. Under the guidance of Geng Ailing, he found a stool to sit on.
Fan Hua went to the kitchen to help pour a glass of water, "Director Xie, we don't have any tea leaves at home, please just drink a glass of plain water first!"
Xie Yongliang took it with both hands, "Thank you, Comrade Fan. Let's sit down and listen together!"
Xie Yongliang looked at Geng Ailing with complicated eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Comrade Geng, how is your relationship with your cousin?"
Geng Ailing didn't expect Xie Yongliang to ask her this question right away, so she answered truthfully, "It's very ordinary. We haven't been in touch for many years. Not long ago, she wrote to me and said that she had made money in Guangzhou and asked me to come over to help. She could arrange a job and accommodation for me. So I took the train south. But then I met Lihua and had better plans, so I didn't go to see her. Yesterday was the first time we met since we arrived in Guangzhou."
Xie Yongliang breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately you didn't rush to find her. Your cousin is not a good person."
Although Geng Ailing and Fan Hua had seen her entertain different men in the yard, she still wanted a definite answer. "Director Xie, can you tell me more about it?"
Xie Yongliang thought about it, concealed the confidential part, and told Geng Ailing about her cousin's situation.
"Her barber shop is run by enemy agents, and your cousin is nominally cutting hair, but in reality she is engaging in illegal prostitution. Anyone who comes here will be caught by the enemy agents as soliciting prostitution, and then threatened to do things for them..."
Xie Yongliang paused before continuing, "She asked you to come here so that you can do the same flesh trade as her, attract more customers, and build a powerful enemy spy intelligence network!"
Geng Ailing was so shocked that she couldn't speak! The matter was even more horrible than they had originally thought. They originally thought that Wu Cuicui simply asked them to come over to engage in prostitution, but they didn't expect that this was directly treason! It was really terrifying to think about it!
When Fan Hua thought about how in the original book, Geng Ailing and the original owner had become tools used by enemy spies to split the motherland, she felt a chill all over her body. Fortunately, she traveled through time and saved the original owner, saved Geng Ailing, and helped catch the scum Wu Cuicui!
Seeing their shocked expressions, Xie Yongliang gave them some time to calm down before continuing, "Comrade Geng, Comrade Fan, you have performed a great service this time. Not only did you help capture the enemy spy leader, but you also helped us uncover the Sisters Barber Shop, an important enemy spy base. We conducted a major cleanup of Yangcheng based on the customer information provided by Wu Cuicui, and uncovered many enemy spy traitors. The higher-ups also commended and rewarded this action. Another reason I came here today is to give you a reward!"
