After the exam, the sun had not yet set. After Zhu Qinghe bought something, he went to the noodle stall and talked to the proprietress for a while before returning to the village with Mr. Wang.

I ran into Zhou Weishen again at the place where I was sitting in the car, and sat huddled at the back in a daze. Just as Zhu Qinghe was about to turn his gaze away, he also raised his head. Their eyes met, and Zhu Qinghe's heart skipped a beat, but his face was calm. , turned around and got into another car, and left quickly, not paying attention to the eyes that were staring at him.

Teacher Wang didn't ask him how he was doing in the exam. He also came from the student days. Sometimes the concern of teachers and parents would only put pressure on the child, so she never mentioned this matter and asked Zhu Qinghe to go back to have dinner with herself.

Zhu Qinghe shook his head with a smile and said, "Uncle Luo has become the village head. I have to go over and congratulate him. When I met him after school that day, he blamed me for not taking him seriously."

Teacher Wang patted his head, this child is really sensible and makes people feel distressed.When I came out of No. [-] Middle School just now, I asked her nervously if I could go to the biggest store in the county to pick out something together. It was hard to refuse with that look.After careful questioning, he found out that he was going to buy this item for the new village chief, Luo Wangwang. He said that the Luo family had a happy event, and he had received a lot of help from them, so it was appropriate to celebrate with something festive.

"It's time to congratulate you. If something happens in the future, you will have to trouble others. Remember to go home early, it's getting dark early, so you don't run into anything."

Zhu Qinghe also heard that two nights ago, someone came home late, and when he was about to enter the house, he saw two green eyes, and he widened his eyes to see clearly that they were the eyes of a wolf that could eat people.There are fewer living things in winter, and these vicious things have come to the village to try their luck.

Zhu Qinghe lived far away and was close to the mountain. If he really happened to meet... I really dare not think about it.He nodded and said, "I'll be back sooner. I'll find a torch with Uncle Luo. Wolves are afraid of this."

The weather in the north was very cold, and the old man driving the cart was waving his whip and urging the horse to run faster. The wind hurt his face, but fortunately it was not too difficult, so he returned to the village while talking.Zhu Qing and Mr. Wang left and went directly to Uncle Luo's house, but it was not a coincidence that he went there today. There was someone in Luo's house, so it was obvious that the villagers wanted to make friends without even looking.

Luo Wangwang was sitting on the Kang and drinking tea. When he saw Zhu Qinghe coming in, he smiled and waved and said, "I'm back? I've been cold on this journey. Are the questions difficult? Don't worry too much about right and wrong. Next time we will go to the Just work hard."

The man watched Zhu Qinghe sitting down unceremoniously talking and laughing with Luo Wangwang, as if he regarded this place as his own home, and said with a smile: "Wangwang and this kid from the Zhu family are really close."

Aunt Luo poured a cup of hot water from the outside and handed it to Zhu Qinghe, she said with a smile: "No, our family is not afraid of multiple sons. He just came back from the county exam, you think anyone can go? Our side also A peace came out. Sometimes I want to lose weight, wishing that this is my own good."

Zhu Qinghe smiled a little embarrassedly. He was very grateful to Aunt Luo for elevating him so that the villagers would not pull him together with those from the old Zhu's family. A mess of things.He handed over the bag in his hand, and said, "Uncle, something good happened. I happened to pass by the store, and I didn't know what you like. I bought this one because it looked good and solid."

What Zhu Qinghe bought was a decoration, although it was a bit more expensive, but it was worth it, and it matched a big boss like Uncle Luo, it looked good and had a good meaning.

Luo Wangwang and Aunt Luo were even more delighted from ear to ear, and their hearts were warm. Aunt Luo came back to her senses and said quickly: "Yesterday, my eldest brother from my natal family brought some mutton. I'll go and pack it up. I'll give it to you." Go and cook some delicious dishes." He said, looking at the person sitting beside him, "Uncle, you should stay and eat before leaving."

The man quickly waved his hand and refused: "Don't let the eldest sister trouble you, I have to go back after talking for a while, there are still things waiting at home."

Zhu Qinghe felt that it was inconvenient for Uncle Luo to sit on the side while talking about things, so he got up and wanted to go out to help, but was stopped by Uncle Luo: "Sit down, are you afraid of life with your uncle? What are you doing with this unjust money? It's not easy for you either."

Zhu Qinghe pursed his lips and said, "I happened to meet him, the meaning is good, and I want to celebrate it."

Luo Wangwang's brick kiln stopped before the snow fell. Although bricks were fired non-stop during that time, it seemed that there were not enough bricks left to sell.Except when he went to collect money, he has been busy familiarizing himself with village affairs in the village for a while, and rarely has a free time in a day.I can't complain that people say that if you stay in one place for a long time, you will become a monk who hits the bell. As long as some things don't cause the sky to fall, just turn a blind eye and close one eye to get past it.

The man in front of him is about his two acres of land, which is different from other families. His land is close to the Dajin River that passes through the village. When it rains, the water floods up and fills the field. People point to these two acres of land for food, and a lot of water can drown them. When the harvest is harvested, people will be happy, but their family will be sad.At the beginning, Zhu Yuliang didn't tell Zhu Yuliang about this matter, Zhu Yuliang sent him away with the lack of extra land in the village, and he made troubles several times before he set aside two levels of land to plant for him, but it was still very sad.

Zhu Qinghe remembered that the water in the Dajin River was not so harsh. After hearing it, he realized that it was because the quicksand brought by the river blocked the river course. The water was crowded in one place and naturally went where it could go, so they all went to the village. Here comes.Even if he is Zhu Yuliang's nephew, he is still angry when he hears it. Although the land has been peaceful for so many years, who can predict the disaster when it comes?The uncle only cared about his own greed and didn't do any good deeds. If one day all of them poured into the village and killed people, would he be willing?Thinking about it this way, I feel that it is a good thing to pull him down. A short-sighted and selfish person has let him stand on top of everyone and show off his power for so many years.

Luo Wangwang frowned and thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, I will call everyone to dredge the river and let the water go the way it should go. If there is any difficulty in the future, as long as it is reasonable, I can solve it." If you can do it, just come to me.”

The uncle said gratefully: "Succeed, everyone knows that you are a reasonable person, and our Zhujia Village has opened up. By the way, some people say that Zhu Yuliang's account should be investigated. What do you think about this?"

Luo Wangwang shook his head: "Let's not talk about this matter for now, let's solve the troubles piled up in the village for the time being and then talk about other things."

The man did not wait too long after his own intention was fulfilled, and left after exchanging a few pleasantries.There were only two people left in the room, and the atmosphere was not as serious and tense as before. Luo Wangwang looked at Qinghe and said with a wry smile: "You are a good uncle, you are so courageous, the money in the village is almost ruined by him. , I didn’t see that he had done a decent thing. He said he asked Zhu Yuliang’s account to be checked. Is there still a need to check? Who can’t see it? A village can really do this? Give him Get it in?"

Zhu Qinghe also frowned. The people in the village are actually quite kind-hearted. Disputes are common, but they haven't reached the point of putting people to death. If he tells Uncle Luo that this matter cannot be tolerated, just It would make Uncle Luo difficult, so he hesitated for a while before saying: "Uncle is the village head, you make the decision. But you also know that my uncle is a man who knows how to drill, and he has a good brain, and he can find treasures with a little information. No one praises him for being smart. But he is small-minded, and he can think of ways to tear down your platform when the time comes."

Luo Wangwang laughed heartily: "I don't want to play tricks with him. Let the villagers see who is who. I don't plan to ask about the accounting. We are a village, and I don't want to force him to die. He, as long as he has the face to face the villagers, I won’t say anything. I, Luo, hope that there is no shortage of this money. When the time comes, I will also get a blackboard in an open place in the village, what will be done in the village, what will be done, and what will be spent Money, I write it all down. I don’t want to make a fortune from this position, and get money out of the poor, I’m not that ruthless.”

Standing upright is not afraid of the shadow slanting, and magnifies everything in front of everyone. Only people will have different opinions, but you don't have to worry about being labeled as inexplicable.Zhu Qinghe thought of the public column of village affairs that any village would have in the future, and grinned, "I'm still smart, the big guy will definitely convince you from the bottom of my heart. I'm afraid you will be busy in the future."

With a smug smile on the corner of Luo Wangwang's mouth, he said indifferently: "Be busy. When you are free and don't know what to do, it really feels like eating and dying. I will be busy for a few years, and when you grow up I will help me manage the brick kiln factory, and I will concentrate on the affairs of the village, and I must make flowers for him."

Zhu Qinghe felt that he should say what he had been holding in his heart all this time. Although he is now an adult, some things are still not suitable for him to say at his age, so he thought of a good way, which is to use Ruan Mu's Mingtou said that he is a person from a big city, and the things they see every day are things they can't even think of.

"I heard from Ruan Mu that they have replaced bricks with machines, which saves manpower and labor, but is expensive. A machine costs a lot of money."

Aunt Luo came into the room from the outside to get things. When she heard the two talking, she couldn't help answering: "You are a far-sighted kid. Your Uncle Luo has been thinking about this for a while. People from the equipment factory came to him Talked about it. I think what people say is very reasonable. Although it is not cheap to buy a machine, it is more worry-free. You can make money if you have more bricks. Killed them? You Uncle Luo is afraid of hurting the hearts of the villagers, and I don't know what to say about him."

If it seems strange to outsiders that two adults and a 14-year-old child talk like this, the Luo family treats Zhu Qinghe as a relative, so they don’t hide anything, just say it directly, Zhu Qinghe follows He smiled and said, "Uncle Luo, my aunt can see it. People in big cities do this, so I can't think of it wrong."

Luo Wangwang finally calmed down and said with a smile, "That's fine, let's do it this way. Then I will think about how to make everyone in the village have jobs."

Aunt Luo made a big pot of mutton soup. Not long after the meal was ready, Luo Yong also came back from the outside. Seeing Zhu Qinghe sitting at home, he smiled and said, "Brother is here. I don't want to go to work in the city. It’s not good, it’s become a habit.”

Luo Wangwang smiled and scolded: "You can be diligent."

The whole room was full of people chatting, laughing and chatting. After eating when it was dark, Zhu Qinghe didn't wait too long, so he hurried back, he didn't want to bump into that fierce thing.Life is not easy to come by, it would be too bad to be buried in the mouth of wolves.

Zhu Qinghe found out about his grades half a month later. Teacher Wang couldn't hide his surprise, and said with a smile, "You're doing well this time. You're number one in your grade, and you're better than those kids in the city. I said long ago that as long as you work hard, the children in our village are not bad at all. This kind of activity organized by the whole county will definitely give out certificates and prizes, and I will go to the city to bring them back to you."

Even if the teacher accepted the award on his behalf, Zhu Qinghe was still very happy. He knew that he was not a very talented person, and all he could rely on was that he was willing to learn and worked harder than others to digest the knowledge points... But behind this kind of No one has ever cared about her hard work, and everyone only cares about the superficial scenery.

The news that Zhu Qinghe got the first place in the county quickly spread in the village, and the faces of Zhu Yutian's family quickly became ashamed.There was a small test a while ago, and Zhu Qingliang failed the test. The large crosses drawn with red strokes on a paper were really shocking. Although Zhu Yutian had never studied, he could still recognize ordinary numbers and symbols. How could such... Are they having a good time?After all, it's the youngest, who has put all his attention on Qingliang for so many years, so it's hard to blame him, just ask him to use more snacks next time, so he won't be as good as the boss in the end.

As soon as Zhu Qingliang heard about Zhu Qinghe, he felt sick to his stomach, and his face was even more disgusting. He justified: "I was only delayed for a few days when I was sick. The teacher knew that I had a special situation and didn't take care of it. Can this be my fault?"

Zhu's mother looked at Zhu Qingliang and couldn't help but sigh. Once people are unlucky, it seems that everything goes wrong, and the family is like a black cloud on their heads, and they can't even breathe.On the other hand, Qing and that child are doing very well. I heard that they even bought Luo Wangwang something that looks good. She has never spent a penny of his money in her mother's life. I don't know how hard she has worked so hard for so many years. Who is the child raised for.

The weather is getting colder and colder. There used to be coal at home to light a fire, but now Bossie hangs like a plate of loose sand, half dead, not to mention the little coal that is given every year.In the future, I can only go to the mountains to collect firewood. In the end, I still can't escape the sentence "Hedong for 30 years, and Hexi for 30 years."

The closer it was to the final exam, the expression on Zhu Qinghe's face became more dignified, but he was very nervous in his heart. He was still very resistant to disturbing others, and he couldn't even concentrate on the review, but the box of candies sent by Ruan Mu relieved him. Quite a few, all kinds of sweet and sour flavors, the sweetness slipped down the throat like silk into the bottom of my heart, and even my mood improved a lot.

No matter how worried that day will come, he took the time to buy some local specialties with good reputation, and actually packed a big bag, which looked like a mover. Even Wang Yongmei couldn't help but say: "They We all have small appetites, so we can’t eat so much, so don’t waste it.”

Zhu Qinghe didn't say anything, he thought it shouldn't be possible, the sweet potatoes grew up from the ground and were full of nutrition, and they tasted very good. In his opinion, although these things are not on the table, they are the most real.There are also some gift boxes of pastries, which taste good and don't look too shabby.

The night before his departure, he sat on the kang and read the letter Ruan Mu wrote to him. It was not long, but he still read it for more than an hour before finishing it. Facing these letters, it was like the silent boy Like his side, he had to admit that his heart was very full.

But what Zhu Qinghe didn't expect was that when he went out the next morning, he was blocked by Zhou Weishen who was standing outside the yard, and he struggled to smile on his pale face: "My aunt! My home is in Zhujia Village, so I'll drop by to see you."

Ruan Mu had already been waiting in the newly installed house, he had a lot to say, and he wished that Zhu Qinghe could be settled during this time, even though he himself thought it was impossible.
