"Educated youth returning to the city?" The other party didn't seem to have thought about this, but he had some impression of such things. "In the past, some educated youth went to the countryside. Here, only two communes accepted educated youth. One of them is indeed in Aotang Village. It seems that someone among those who went back is taking care of the Zheng family."

"It's possible." Duan Zhihui also made a reasonable guess after listening to Zheng Guixiang's words, and said: "I heard Zheng Guixiang say that it was the other party who suggested him to open a breeding farm. But I have met him, and he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who can come up with these tricks. Instead, the children in his family are more independent-minded."

Compared to their daughter who had so many ulterior motives, Duan Zhihui felt that what Zheng Guixiang said was much more credible.

The person on the other end of the phone just smiled and said, "I'll check this. He doesn't need to figure out all these ways, as long as he has these connections, it'll be fine."

Duan Zhihui hesitated: "There is one more thing."

"what's up?"

Duan Zhihui thought about it and decided to tell the old Taoist priest about his prediction in Aotang Village. When he was about to leave today, Old Lady Zheng grabbed him and almost begged him to issue an order not to let the man surnamed Qi get close.

The other party was also stunned for a while before he rebuked: "Don't tell me such feudal superstitions in the future."

Since Duan Zhihui had already spoken, he did not hide the second half, "This matter is very strange. There are not many people with the surname Qi in his family, only one fifth aunt, and it was that fifth aunt who took care of them before. At that time, the three children were said to be not good-looking and not outstanding in the village.

Later, they met an old Taoist priest who reminded them to keep their distance from the Qi family. The old Taoist priest's predictions were a bit exaggerated. His latest prediction was that in two months, the Zheng family would have a female champion, and in two months, their second daughter would be the top student in the county when she was promoted from primary school to junior high school. "

The other party was also surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

After all, it is very difficult for a rural child to get the first place in the county, especially when the exam has not yet been taken. How can we determine that the top scorer will be a female student?

Even cheating is impossible.

"Not only the two sisters, but also the younger brother has become smarter. He transferred to the town primary school and skipped a grade. He also ranked first in the grade in the final exam. After the Zheng family severed ties with the fifth aunt, the family's fortune has become unstoppable."

Although Zheng Hanqiu is relatively less outstanding among the three siblings, he doesn't dare to think that he can look down on Zheng Hanqiu.

As for the little girl Qi Meng from the Qi family, she was even more bizarre. The last time they met the three siblings, one was in the hospital and one was kidnapped. This time they met, the two sisters encountered a gang of knife-wielding gangsters. These were vicious incidents that could be considered criminal cases.

It was such a strange story that no one would believe it if he told it to others, but he still wanted to tell others about it. What if his leader knew more than him?

The other party…he was speaking very formally and even with some depth just now, why is he so weird now?

Is it weird?

It's really weird.

The next day, when Duan Zhihui visited with a lot of bags, the door was locked. Through the gap in the door, he saw an old woman in strange clothes jumping around inside, singing something unknown.

Dance master?

What's going on? How could someone in the Zheng family perform a shaman dance? Don't tell me that the Zheng family can perform magic or sorcery. Duan Zhihui suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Wang Wei, who was guarding the door, was very alert. When he found someone peeking through the crack in the door, he quickly called Zheng Juzi.

After a while, the people inside quickly packed up their things and went in.

When I opened the door, the yard was clean, as if nothing had happened.

"Uncle Duan, it's so early." Zheng Juzi grinned.

Her mother was afraid that people would know, so she invited a fortune teller to perform a shaman ritual early in the morning last night. She didn't expect Duan Zhihui to come so early. Fortunately, the rituals were completed, otherwise her mother might have to ask for another one.

Duan Zhihui was not stupid enough to admit that he had been peeping through someone's door, so he pretended to know nothing. He raised the bag in his hand and smiled gently, "Did you and your sister get scared by what happened yesterday? Uncle brought you some delicious food to calm you down."

Duan Zhihui brought snacks for children. In addition to the milk candies, egg cakes, candied dates and peach cakes that children were fond of at that time, there was also a bag of walnuts and two boxes of chocolates. These snacks that became very common later were rarely seen in Dongji Town. At least it was the first time that Mu Xiaoyun had seen them in her life.

The food that I used to look down upon actually now gives me a sense of fresh nostalgia.

Zheng Hanqiu picked up a walnut and tried to crack it open, but the walnut didn't move at all.

So he picked up another walnut and tried to crush them together, but still nothing happened.

Duan Zhihui had opened his eyes wide so much that wrinkles appeared on his forehead. Seeing Zheng Hanqiu's calm and composed look, he thought that the little girl could really crack a walnut open with one hand. That would be incredible. But now, seeing that the two things remained in their original state, he was relieved.

She is an ordinary little girl, she doesn’t have any special powers and she probably doesn’t know any witchcraft.

Knowing that she was thinking out of habit, Zheng Juzi leaned close to her ear and reminded her, "This is not a paper-shell walnut. You need to use a tool."

Sure enough, the names of the walnuts were the same but the varieties were completely different. Zheng Hanqiu calmly put down the walnuts in his hand.

Wang Wei came over, picked up two walnuts and held them in his palms. With a click, the two walnuts cracked neatly in the middle. After adjusting them and applying more force, several pieces of walnut meat came out.

Duan Zhihui... Could it be that this person has some supernatural power?

"Uncle Duan, you didn't come here just to bring us delicious food, did you?" Zheng Juzi said as he politely gave him a piece of walnut meat and asked with a smile: "After eating this walnut, we will have to rely on Uncle Duan to protect us in the future."

Duan Zhihui smiled and put the walnut into his mouth. After chewing it carefully, he said, "Don't worry, uncle will definitely take good care of you."

Zheng Juzi didn't hide anything and handed him the summary report she had written overnight. "Uncle Duan, what I wrote is not very professional. Please take a look at the content first. We can ask a professional to revise it later."

Duan Zhihui couldn't wait to see what the content was, but it turned out to have nothing to do with any of his guesses.

The two little girls even came up with a scientific invention?

This, this, this...is this something an ordinary person can come up with?

The real thing was in the kitchen, so Zheng Juzi took him to see it and explained how to operate it.

Although Duan Zhihui was born in a small county town, his family has been burning coal since he was born, and he really can't imagine the energy-saving stoves used by rural families.

No matter what, a good stove is one that saves energy.

In China, the rural population now accounts for the majority of the total population. He does not understand anything about environmental protection, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and orderly recycling of forest resources. But he is very clear about one thing: if it can really be promoted, the amount of wood that can be saved across the country will not be a small number.
