"Xiaoqi, I have something to talk to you about. Please come out for a moment."
When Xu Qi heard this again, he couldn't help but feel a headache. These days, Cheng Fangyuan always used the same reason to call him out and drive him away.
When he heard this, he started to react reflexively, but when he saw the little girl next to him laughing, he touched her head helplessly, then got up and walked out of the room.
"Brother Yuan, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Xiao Zhu is at the door looking for you. He looks so anxious, so he must have something urgent to do. You should leave quickly and don't make Xiao Zhu anxious."
"Okay, then I'll tell Lanlan and I'll go back."
Seeing Cheng Fangyuan's expression, Xu Qi knew that if he didn't leave, he would find another reason to urge him.
He had no choice but to go into the house and say goodbye to the little girl before leaving reluctantly.
After he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Xiao Zhu waiting for him there. He looked anxious at this time. After saying goodbye to Cheng Fangyuan, he walked quickly in front and asked.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Uncle Lu sent a telegram to ask you something, and as soon as I received it, I came to see you immediately."
After Xiao Zhu finished speaking, he chuckled, as if waiting for Xu Qi's praise.
Xu Qi frowned when he heard this. Thinking of the matter he had asked Lu Qi to help investigate, he couldn't help but think wildly in his mind, wondering if he had found any evidence?
Otherwise, why would he contact me at this time?
He thought of his mother, who asked him not to investigate the incident anymore and to just give up, but he couldn't do it.
If it weren't for the murderer, his father wouldn't have died, and his family wouldn't have had to flee for their lives. Although life is getting better and better now, he still has to pay back for the pain he suffered before.
But so many years have passed, and it would take more than a day to investigate. So he asked Uncle Lu to help him investigate, and unexpectedly, he still got some results.
Thinking of this, he quickly returned to the commune.
After Xu Qi left, Song Tanglan became dazed, thinking about their every little detail over the years, as well as her own experiences over the years.
Looking again, four years have passed, and the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977 is getting closer. Song Tanglan has been studying harder and harder recently, but as soon as Xu Qi left, she began to miss him.
I couldn't even finish reading the test papers and books.
But she didn't stay in a daze for long, as Song Tangcheng asked her to help clean up.
They cleaned up and prepared to celebrate the New Year. Although they had been in the countryside for several years and had celebrated several New Years, the two sisters of the Song family could always come up with different ideas every year.
Every Chinese New Year becomes more and more interesting.
With things to do, Song Tanglan soon forgot about the person who was going out for a long time.
I was thinking with great interest about what delicious food to make next.
People in the brigade rarely go out to visit each other in winter. Except for the day when grain is distributed and pigs are slaughtered, everyone gathers in the threshing ground, and the rest of the time they stay at home.
…
The threshing ground today is still as hot as in previous years. This year we have overcome the period of extreme food shortage, and people are not as worried as before.
Zhou Xiaoli looked at the two sisters standing not far away, thinking about how every time she tried to get close to Xu Qi, he would avoid her from a distance. The opportunities she had prepared for fell through time and time again.
Seeing that their relationship was getting better and better, and was almost at the stage of discussing marriage, she couldn't help but have bloodshot eyes and a face full of anger.
She had finally found a suitable partner and had already found someone to cooperate with. She thought she could win over Xu Qi as long as she had the chance, but she didn't expect that they would suddenly be together.
His plans were delayed again and again, and he couldn't meet Xu Qi anymore. He went to block him on the road, but he avoided him every time, which made his tricks useless.
This was the good husband she had chosen, and she couldn't just give up on him.
What's more, she has been almost driven crazy by the work in the fields in recent years. Her savings have been exhausted, and there has been no news of her returning to the city after so many years in the countryside.
She originally just wanted to find a wealthy family to marry into so that she wouldn't have to work in the fields anymore, but she didn't expect to hear some time ago that their commune would have several places at the Agricultural and Soldier University.
But this news never got out until the man saw that she was from the same hometown as him and told her.
Thinking that as long as there was a place in the Agricultural and Soldier University, she could return to the city, continue her college studies with dignity, get a good job after graduation, and then find a city man to marry, she couldn't help but feel happy when she thought of this.
So she gave up her original goal and prepared for the examination spot at the Agricultural and Soldier University.
But she waited and waited, and after half a year there was no news from the brigade. Out of curiosity, she went to inquire, and only then did she find out that their brigade had no places at all for the Agricultural Soldier University.
As for the reason, it was because several prisoners had been released in the past, so her dream of returning to the city was dashed, and she could only turn her attention to Xu Qi.
She felt a little unwilling to see her efforts of the past six months go to waste, but there was nothing she could do. The quota was not in the hands of the team leader, and she didn't have the ability to get it by bypassing the team leader.
What's more, if she had that ability, she wouldn't be working in the fields now.
She had wanted to reveal this news to other people in the Youth League Institute so that they would start arguing about the quota, while she would take advantage of the situation. However, she did not expect that there would be no quota for their team at all.
