After dark, most of Taoyuan Village was in darkness, but Qi Fusheng's family lit three kerosene lamps, making it bright inside and outside the house.
In addition to the kerosene lamps lit in the main room, there were also kerosene lamps lit in the kitchen and the yard.
Gao Qiufeng and Liang Lu were making buns in the kitchen. They had some stuffing left from making dumplings during the day, so they added some leeks and vermicelli to make some meat-filled buns, and then used cabbage and vermicelli to make some vegetarian-filled buns.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shook off the gloom of the previous few days, both had smiles on their faces, and chatted while working.
Qi Fusheng sat under a tree in the yard smoking a pipe. There was a kerosene lamp and a large teacup on the small table next to him. He occasionally picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Hearing Gao Qiufeng's cheerful laughter from the kitchen, his wrinkled face was filled with joy.
"Dad, I called Qingmei back!" Qi Zhongcai stepped into the yard and said to Qi Fusheng who was sitting under a tree.
Qi Fusheng looked up and nodded.
Qi Zhongcai went straight back to his house.
Qi Qingmei was still a little nervous. All the way back from the educated youth point, she had no idea what Qi Fusheng was going to say to her.
"Qingmei, come here, let's chat."
Qi Qingmei walked over, sat on the stool next to the small table, put her hands on her knees, and looked at Qi Fusheng.
"Qingmei, have you decided on Jiang Zhiqing? Why don't you test him again?" Qi Fusheng took a puff of his pipe and turned to ask his daughter.
Qi Qingmei felt relieved, this turned out to be the case.
She smiled brightly, and when she mentioned Jiang Xiaohui, there was light in Qi Qingmei's eyes.
"Well, I have decided on him for my whole life."
In order to win the heart of the school hunk, she wrote a book about the two of them.
She finally got into the book as she wished, so how could she not fulfill her dream!
Jiang Xiaohui is the future mayor's wife, and many people look down on her for pursuing Jiang Xiaohui. However, because she is the daughter of the village chief, no one dares to say it to her face.
But when she married Jiang Xiaohui and became the mayor's wife.
Those who once looked down on her would now rush to curry favor with her.
Looking at his daughter's thin face, Qi Fusheng said with guilt, "Dad is sorry for you. If I had let Jiang Zhiqing be a teacher earlier,
You three won't suffer such a heavy punishment this time!"
"Dad, I know you are doing this for my own good."
Qi Qingmei's heart beat faster, and Qi Fusheng was finally willing to help Jiang Xiaohui.
Only in this way can she truly help Jiang Xiaohui.
Only then can he look at you with higher regard!
Qi Zhongcai had just written a letter to Jiang Xiaohui. She took a look at it and saw that it was written in the handwriting of Jiang Xiaohui's father.
Every time she received a letter from Jiang Xiaohui's father, she would find various excuses to go to the educated youth site to find Jiang Xiaohui, and she would secretly read it every time.
To be honest, after reading those letters, she realized that Jiang Xiaohui was not as glamorous as he appeared.
His father was just compensating him by sending him money every month.
All the power in the family is tilted towards eldest brother Jiang Xiaohui.
But it’s better this way, as she can enter a prominent family like the Jiang family.
"Okay, Dad got it!"
Qi Fusheng knocked the empty pipe onto the ground to remove the ashes, then filled a new pipe with tobacco leaves and started smoking.
"Fusheng, Qingmei, come and have some meat buns." Gao Qiufeng shouted to the father and son at the kitchen door.
…
"Do you really agree to let Qingmei and Jiang Zhiqing be together?" Gao Qiufeng asked Qi Fusheng before going to bed.
Qi Fusheng looked at Gao Qiufeng with a smile, "Although we met through a blind date, I fell in love with you at first sight, so we can be considered to be in a free love relationship.
When it’s my daughter’s turn, I want her to choose her own husband.”
"But Jiang Zhiqing's heart... may not be with Qingmei." Gao Qiufeng said worriedly.
Qi Fusheng snorted coldly, "What's so noble about Jiang Zhiqing? Qingmei is more than a match for him!
So what if he was born in the capital? If his family had sufficient power, why would they have waited so long to bring him back?
He is hanging on to Qingmei like this, hoping that I will help him one day."
Seeing Gao Qiufeng's frown, he took his wife's hand and said, "Qingmei is willing, so let's just follow her wishes.
After all, she is different from Zhongcai. I don’t want to let her down, and I don’t want to let you down even more! "
Gao Qiufeng's face turned pale, she was lost in painful memories of the past, her body trembling slightly.
Qi Fusheng hugged Gao Qiufeng and said, "It's all in the past. No one knows about that incident. You will always be my wife."
Gao Qiufeng choked up and nodded.
…
The next day, after the members went to work, Qi Fusheng went to take a look at the fields, then walked towards the educated youth site with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Xiaohui had just escaped death, and Qi Fusheng asked him to rest for two days before going back to work.
In fact, this was said to the members to prevent some people from making trouble.
"Village chief." Jiang Xiaohui was washing clothes in the yard. When she saw Qi Fusheng coming, she stood up with her hands covered in soap foam and looked at him in surprise.
All the educated youth had gone to work, and he was the only one left at the educated youth site.
Qi Fusheng was obviously here to find him, and this was the first time he came to see him.
Qi Fusheng looked around and saw a bench in the yard. He walked over, picked it up and sat down. Seeing Jiang Xiaohui still standing, he waved at him and said, "Sit down and talk."
Jiang Xiaohui sat on a small stool, rubbing clothes with his head down while waiting for Qi Fusheng's next words.
He vaguely guessed that Qi Fusheng came to him because of Qi Qingmei's matter.
I guess it was to tell him to stay away from Qi Qingmei in the future.
"Jiang Zhiqing, what do you think of my Qingmei?" Qi Fusheng smoked a pipe and looked at Jiang Xiaohui with slightly narrowed eyes.
Jiang Xiaohui paused while washing clothes, and then said in silence, "She's fine."
"Think carefully about what I'm going to tell you next."
Jiang Xiaohui looked up and met Qi Fusheng's solemn expression. He sat up straight and looked at him, "Village Chief, you go ahead."
"From now on, call me uncle. It will be too distant to call me village chief." Qi Fusheng said with a smile.
Jiang Xiaohui pursed his lips and said nothing.
Qi Fusheng didn't care. He looked at Jiang Xiaohui and continued, "I plan to let you teach at the school after the semester starts. Are you willing?"
"Of course I am willing!" Jiang Xiaohui's eyes lit up, and then he thought of something and his face fell slightly, "But the school is not short of teachers now."
"It's up to me to decide whether there is a shortage or not," said Qi Fusheng.
Jiang Xiaohui knew that Qi Fusheng could do it.
He looked at Qi Fusheng cautiously, "What do you want me to do?"
"Getting engaged to Qingmei is the condition for me letting you become a teacher." Qi Fusheng said.
Jiang Xiaohui, "..."
Seeing that Jiang Xiaohui did not express his opinion immediately, Qi Fusheng stood up and said, "Take your time to think about this matter, but you only have three days. If you are willing or not, give me a reply in three days."
After saying this, Qi Fusheng walked away with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Xiaohui watched Qi Fusheng's back disappear from his sight and sat there for a long time without moving.
Jiang Xiaohui did not sleep that night. He sat under the kerosene lamp and read all the letters his father had written to him.
When the sky revealed the white belly of a fish, he made his decision.
