Farming and Bend the National Husband

After the patient finished eating, in order to allow him to rest better, the doctor lowered the bed for him and asked him to lie on his back.

Xia Jiusheng came back from the bathroom and saw that the man was lying down, so he pulled the doctor outside and quietly asked the doctor if he could hire a nurse to take care of his daily life, because it is impossible for him to stay with him in the hospital all the time.

Especially this patient is special, his body is too weak to move, it is best to have someone take care of him all the time, and his body is too dirty, he needs a diligent person to wash him well.

The doctor said it was easy. Zhangtang is a small place, and some middle-aged people who live in the town and have nursing experience are willing to make extra money, as long as they pay wages.

Xia Jiusheng took out 5000 yuan and put it with the doctor, asking him to hire someone for help, as long as it is reliable, and there is no need to worry about the money.

The middle-aged doctor took the money and looked at Xia Jiusheng, feeling more and more incomprehensible to him.

This young man's heart seems to be too kind. Even if most people are willing to help others, they will not help to this extent.

Xia Jiusheng didn't care. It is not too difficult for him to make money now, and life cannot be measured by money.

Back in the ward, the patient had fallen asleep with his eyes closed.Xia Jiusheng knew that such frail patients needed a lot of sleep to restore their vitality, so they fell asleep most of the time.He didn't care, sat on his bedside for a while, and was ready to go home.

It is impossible not to be curious about the identity of this patient, but considering that everyone has their own secrets, and this young man who looks so good, and at the peak age of his life, is so poor, he must If there is any unspeakable secret, maybe he is not willing to share it with others.

So Xia Jiusheng planned to try not to appear in front of him as much as possible, so as not to embarrass him.

The three walked out of the hospital together and got into the car.

At this time, Ah Fu resumed his usual livelyness, put his face on the car window, pointed at the interesting things on both sides of the car that he had never seen before, and chirped to express his opinions.

Seeing that he liked it, Xia Jiusheng thought of the happy scene when his father rode a bicycle and drove him to the market when he was a child, so he parked the car on the side of the road, took his hand, and went to the market with Zhao Zezhong.

Walked the short street twice, bought a lot of fun but useless gadgets for Ah Fu, stuffed the trunk full, and Xia Jiusheng picked out a pair of couplets and a few words of blessing , I also bought a pair of big lanterns. These things are all hung up during the Chinese New Year. This year, the atmosphere of the family will be heavy.

※※※

When I got home, I heard from my father that my cousin’s girlfriend was coming to “see people.” Xia Jiusheng was also happy for him, so he called his uncle and asked him if he could help. The uncle thought about it, and said that he would drive to pick up the guests when the time came. Let's go, some relatives don't have a car at home, so it's inconvenient to come and go, Xia Jiusheng agreed.

The date is set two days later, the uncle's family is busy with shopping and preparations, but Xia Jiusheng's family is as leisurely as usual.

After the snow fell for two days, it gradually became smaller. Everyone was relieved, and laughed and joked that the extreme cold was nothing more than that.

However, according to the provincial news station, many people were actually affected by the disaster in the southern mountainous areas, especially in the areas inhabited by the ethnic minority She, which is unique to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and many old houses were collapsed by the snow.

Zhao Zezhong called Uncle Huang and asked him to donate a sum of money to the local Civil Affairs Bureau in the name of the company. Uncle Huang was already familiar with this, so he didn't say anything. He just confirmed the amount and hung up the phone.

Only then did Xia Jiusheng know that Zhao Zezhong has been doing charity all the time, but he didn't tell others.

Zhao Zezhong's fracture, after these few days of recuperation, and continued bone repair during the practice every night, is almost healed, but the newly grown bone is still very fragile and cannot bear the force.

A phone call came from the capital, saying that the movie had been finished, the producer had cut out the cutscenes, and started arranging publicity across the country, asking Zhao Zezhong for his opinion.

Zhao Zezhong knew that he had to go back to the capital again. Although he was full of reluctance, he had to bid farewell to Xia Jiusheng.

Xia Jiusheng was very satisfied. These days, his mother no longer resisted the matter between himself and Zhao Zezhong as before. Instead, he arranged for An An and A Fu to sleep in their room, as if tacitly acquiescing their relationship and letting them mess around at night.

It's almost Chinese New Year now, and the relationship between the two has not been confirmed yet. Of course, they have to go home to celebrate the New Year, so Zhao Zezhong's return home is not as sad as last time.

※※※

That night, Xia Jiusheng had two more stalkers by his side.

An An and A Fu each held one of Xia Jiusheng's arms, their whole bodies were almost hanging on him, Xia Jiusheng had to wonder if there was something wrong with the way he educated his apprentice and younger brother?The two children are not young anymore, and they should especially love to play with their companions, why do they love to cling to themselves so much?

After the two children were sound asleep, Xia Jiusheng entered the space.

Although he would go into the space to take a look every day, the changes inside still surprised him.

Those brooding hens have all hatched chicks. Xia Jiusheng ordered some, and there were almost [-] of them.

The grape branches that he divided out all sprouted, and it seems that they will slowly climb up the shelf in a short time.It’s just that the grape cuttings on the outside can only produce grapes after three or four years. Will the grapes in this space be different, and grapes will grow this year?

The last time Zhao Zezhong entrusted someone to purchase Changbai Mountain ginseng. After planting it in the space for a while, he found that the color of the ginseng seemed to be changing, becoming whiter and more transparent than before. This made Xia Jiusheng a little puzzled. In his impression, the more Good ginseng should be like a tree with annual rings, getting more and more aged. Why does this ginseng look more and more like a carrot?

Forget it, anyway, planting it in the space will definitely be better than the outside environment, let's wait for a while.

※※※

This morning, Xia Jiusheng sent off the purchase car of the National University, washed his hands, went upstairs and changed into a set of clean clothes, and drove the car to his uncle's house, ready to follow his uncle's arrangement...

There are quite a lot of guests today, and three tables have already been set up in the main room.

In order to show his solemnity, the uncle invited the best master of the village wedding banquet nearby to come to his house to hold the spoon.

As the elder sister, Jiu Qiang came over after breakfast, and prepared food for the guests with her mother.The chickens, ducks and fish to be slaughtered have been processed again yesterday and dried under the eaves. Now it is only necessary to simply clean up some ingredients such as ginger and garlic.

Fang Peigen took a cigarette and stood with his brother-in-law at the door, offering tea and cigarettes to the guests.Xia's father, Xia's mother, as the closest uncle and aunt, dressed in the most decent clothes, led An An and Ah Fu who were dressed like golden boys, and sat in the living room.

My aunt's family will also come today. I just called and said that I have set off from Yongcheng and will arrive within two hours. My uncle's family will also come this time.

Grandpa and grandma have kept a low profile since that incident, and now they are still sitting in the old house, refusing to come over, saying that they will wait until the guests arrive, but my uncle and aunt persuaded me, and the old mother insisted, so let it go.

The eldest aunt's natal home is not far away, just opposite Sanjie Town, but the transportation is not very convenient, and none of the relatives there have a car, so Xia Jiusheng mainly picks up relatives there.

Xia Jiusheng made two trips to take Xia Jiuxing's two uncles and one aunt's home. His grandparents have passed away, so there are not many relatives there.

Everyone sat down to drink tea and chat, and waited for the aunt and uncle's family in Yongcheng by the way.

Before ten o'clock, my uncle's family and my uncle's family arrived together.

Since my uncle's new job has been confirmed, he is waiting for the official notice from the organization department, so he looks rosy and beaming, and even his aunt's complexion looks much better.

The uncle and aunt didn't change much, but when they entered the room, they saw the well-dressed Xia's father and Xia's mother, and their faces were a little ugly.

Xia's mother complained to her little sister-in-law because of the loan incident. Although the two had never had a quarrel, the indifference was inevitable.

The old man and the old lady came over when they heard that their daughter and son-in-law were coming. Chen Shaofeng and Xia Jianhua went up to meet them and accompanied them into the living room.

After everyone sat down and chatted for a while, Xia Jiuxing received a call saying that his girlfriend's family had arrived at the entrance of the village.

Xia Jiuxing hurried to the entrance of the village, saw two cars parked at the intersection, and rushed to meet them.

The two cars were opened one after another. In addition to the boss Zhang Guojiang's family and his girlfriend's family, there was another family of three, who seemed to be relatives of his girlfriend.

Sure enough, his girlfriend introduced him, and it turned out to be her uncle's family.

Accompanying them to their own home, they saw that uncle and all the family members were already at the door.

Xia Jiuxing and his girlfriend Zhang Yueran made introductions respectively, and everyone went into the house after some courtesy.

Standing behind the crowd, Xia Jiusheng accidentally saw an acquaintance in his cousin's girlfriend's family, his junior high school roommate Wang Qucheng.

When Wang Qu was in junior high school, he grew up relatively fat. He was just over 1.6 meters tall, weighing less than 140 kilograms, and his grades were average, so he was not very eye-catching in the dormitory.

Now it has grown to about 1.7 meters, and its body shape looks much more normal.

In Xia Jiusheng's impression, that little fat man preferred to talk to him for a while, but his attention was all on Du Gaotian, so he often ignored him.

"It's really you, Xia Jiusheng." Wang Qucheng also saw him, walked over with a smile, and put his arm on his shoulder.

"Wang Qucheng, long time no see." Xia Jiusheng greeted him.

"Yangyang, you are classmates in junior high school? That's a coincidence." Xia Jiuxing heard that his cousin and his girlfriend's cousin were classmates in junior high school, and thought it was too coincidental.

The two stood and exchanged a few pleasantries, and recalled their life in junior high school.But after so many years of no contact, everyone has changed so much, there is very little to talk about, and after a while, I can't find a topic, so I can only find a place to sit down and drink tea.

※※※

When the future parents-in-law saw Xia Jiuxing's family put on such a big scene, they looked like they were entertaining distinguished guests, and they even hired a chef. They felt that they had gained face, and the expressions on their faces were much more relaxed than when they first came in.

To be honest, she was really not satisfied that her son-in-law's house was in such a remote mountain village.

Chen Shaofeng was invited by his brother-in-law to support his nephew, so he sat next to his in-laws as the host.

He is a real cadre, and he has seen many occasions. He is not easy to deal with an ordinary clerk. After a while, the few people become more speculative, and the atmosphere becomes active.

Xia Jiuqiang is good at coming, seeing that the time is right, she deliberately stepped forward and asked her uncle, when will the order come over?

The family already knew about the uncle's transfer, and Xia Jiuqiang's question was exactly what everyone wanted to know, so they all pricked up their ears.

When Brother Zhang Guohai heard this, he was a little surprised. Chen Shaofeng is now in office, and the other is in the process of being transferred. Could it be that he is going to be promoted to the deputy office?

"Just these few days!" Chen Shaofeng replied with a smile as he didn't need to hide it in front of his family.

"Where is Director Chen going to be transferred?" Zhang Guohai couldn't help being curious, and asked politely.

"Transferred to Cicheng City as mayor." Chen Shaofeng said flatly.

"Oh." Zhang Guohai was taken aback. "Chen Chu's step is a bit big."

Although Zhang Guohai is just an ordinary staff member and has been in this circle for most of his life, he naturally knows that he is the same as the official, and the gold content is completely different. Chen Shaofeng's position as the director of the Comprehensive Land Use Division of the Planning Bureau at the beginning is considered a lucrative position, but after all, his authority is limited. .That's why he felt that it was nothing for Xia Jiuxing to have such an uncle.

However, it is completely different to be promoted to the mayor of the most economically developed county-level city in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. The future development space will undoubtedly become wider. Maybe in a few years, he will become the mayor or secretary of Shaocheng City.

"It's okay. The superior department wants to add burden to me, so I can only do my best." Chen Shaofeng didn't want to brag in front of them, so he said something casually.

"Chen Chucai is in his early forties. I didn't expect to hold such an important position at such a young age. The future is boundless." Zhang Guojiang felt a little sad when he thought that he was older than him and still not in the stock market.

"Not young anymore." Chen Shaofeng thought of Zhao Zedong's age, compared with them, he really wasn't young and promising!

Because of this episode, Zhang Guohai's family's satisfaction with their son-in-law has secretly increased.

Zhang Yueran was also happy to see her parents' attitude towards her boyfriend's family getting better, and she glanced at Xia Jiuxing, feeling sweet in her heart.

※※※

Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, and the eldest aunt came out from the kitchen to inform everyone that it was time to sit.

So everyone went to the main room and sat at the big round table.

At the chairman's meeting, Zhang Guohai and his wife, Zhang Guojiang and his wife, and Wang Qucheng's parents were invited to sit down. Uncle Xia, Father Xia, uncle, and uncle were seated to accompany each other. It happened that there were ten people at a table.Xia Jiuxing's uncle and aunt were invited to sit at the second table, accompanied by the old man, old lady, Aunt Xia, and mother Xia, and Xia Jiuxing and Zhang Yueran also sat at this table.Xia Jiusheng and other young people sat at the bottom table.

The chef's craftsmanship is really good, and the ingredients in the country are good, so everyone is full of praise for the wine and dishes.

There are several kinds of wine, including warm rice wine, daughter red, high-end liquor bought in supermarkets, and beer.Because of the good atmosphere, it is natural to be more relaxed when drinking. No matter whether it is the main table or the second table, even the young people at the bottom table, there are a few people who drink.

Xia Jiusheng saw that there was also a bowl of rice wine in front of Wang Qucheng, and he couldn't help admiring this old classmate. This wine doesn't seem to have high alcohol content, but it's not easy to drink a bowl. Ordinary people often get drunk after drinking two taels, especially its The stamina is so strong that people drink too much without knowing it.

"Why doesn't my old classmate drink?" Wang Qucheng had already drank half a bowl, his face was slightly red, he saw that Xia Jiusheng was drinking tea, and said unhappily.

"Sorry, I'm allergic to alcohol." Xia Jiusheng didn't want to drink, so he always responded like this to outsiders.

"Oh, it's really useless." Hearing this, Wang Qucheng snorted disdainfully and took a sip of his wine.

After learning that Xia Jiusheng didn't go to university and actually grew vegetables at home, he couldn't help being a little contemptuous. Among the young people nowadays, there are a few who work at home.

At the beginning, my grades were not as good as his, and I was not as good-looking as him, but I was admitted to a university in Shanghai, and after a few years, the distance between the two of them became farther away.

"Come on, Xiao Wang, I respect you." Seeing that her cousin was underestimated, Xia Jiuqiang felt displeased, but the other party was the family of the future sister-in-law, so she couldn't offend her at this time, so she picked up the bowl with a smile and said. "Thank you for accompanying Xiaoran and the others to this rural place. It's been hard work."

"You're welcome, I respect you too." After being complimented by Xia Jiuqiang, he felt relieved, picked it up, touched Xia Jiuqiang, and took a big sip.

"I said Xia Jiusheng, your grades are so good, why don't you go to university?" Wang Qucheng turned his attention to his old classmates after a while. "It's easy to be a farmer at home, but don't you think it's too depraved at a young age?"

"Why do you care so much about me?" Xia Jiusheng was a little amused. "If I remember correctly, you didn't seem to have contacted us after graduating from junior high school! I thought you didn't regard me as a friend long ago?"

"Where?" Thinking of the past, Wang Qucheng felt a little depressed.He lowered his head and took another sip of his wine, and couldn't help complaining: "The classmates in the same dormitory didn't pay much attention to me because I was fat, and you are the same."

"Dare you remember my grudge?" Hearing what he said, Xia Jiusheng smiled in surprise.

"Of course, I always remember." Wang Qucheng said angrily.

Seeing their two old classmates, Xia Jiuqiang was just talking for fun, not really having a conflict, so she ignored them and just chatted with other people.

"Don't drink while suffocating, it's easy to get drunk." Xia Jiusheng turned a new dish on the turntable in front of him, motioning him to eat.

Wang Qucheng picked up the food, put it on his own plate, and took another sip of the wine. It seemed that because of Xia Jiusheng, he had something on his mind.

"Xia Jiusheng, how are you and Du Gaotian doing now?" After a while, Wang Qucheng suddenly asked without thinking.

"Still a good brother! He came to my house a few days ago." Xia Jiusheng answered him like this without thinking too much.

"Why are you pretending to be stupid? You like him and think I don't know!" Wang Qucheng sneered after taking another sip of his wine.

"Wang Qucheng, you are drunk." Xia Jiusheng was taken aback by his words.

I looked around and saw that everyone was either eating by themselves or chatting with people around them. No one paid attention to them, and no one understood the meaning of Wang Qucheng's words, so I felt relieved.

"You think I'm talking drunk, don't you? I already knew about you being gay." Wang Qucheng stood up abruptly, pointing at Xia Jiusheng every word.

He stood up too suddenly and spoke loudly. Everyone turned their heads to look at him and heard his words clearly.

The scene was suddenly silent, and Xia Jiusheng was dumbfounded.

He never dreamed that he would be forced out of the closet by his old classmate after drinking on such an occasion.

With a sound of "pa--", Wang Qucheng's father angrily walked down from the upper table, hit his son on the head, and cursed: "Things that can't be on the table, talk nonsense when they drink, and don't talk to them." Is your old classmate apologizing?"

"Why? I'm not talking nonsense. Xia Jiusheng is gay. He liked Du Gaotian in our dormitory when he was in junior high school." Wang Qucheng turned his head and said to his father who was not convinced.

"Yangyang, is what your classmate said true?" The old lady had the best face, and when she heard that Xia Jiusheng actually liked men, she stood up abruptly, glared at Xia Jiusheng, and asked angrily.

Xia Jiusheng lowered his head and did not make a sound.

At this time, he was also dazed, and didn't know how to answer, so he could only sit there stupidly, with cold hands and feet.

"Whether Yang Yang likes men or women, it's all his own business, what's the fuss?" Xia Jiuqiang and Xia Jiusheng were so close, seeing his cousin in distress, felt sad, stood up and walked behind Xia Jiusheng , put his arm around his shoulder, and said lightly.

"Jiu Qiang, are you crazy?" Seeing her granddaughter contradicting her words, the old lady scolded angrily, "How can a man like a man, that's a pervert—"

"Why is my son abnormal?" Xia's mother was sitting there, too embarrassed to speak, when she heard the old lady scolding Yang Yang for being abnormal, she burst into flames, she stood up and stared at the old lady, He shouted loudly: "Who did he harm? Or did he hurt?"

The old lady spoke outrightly, but was stared at by Mother Xia's bloodshot eyes, and shrank back.

"Second sister-in-law, don't be angry. Mom has no other intentions. She said that because she was sad." Uncle stood up to smooth things over.

"Yangyang is my son. Whether he likes men or women, I, a mother, can take care of it. It's not up to others to speak up?" Mother Xia's tears rolled down, but her head was raised high. Gao De, like a mother animal protecting her calf, cannot tolerate others speaking ill of her son.

Xia's father was sitting there with a wooden face and seemed to be calm, but his slightly trembling body betrayed his thoughts.

He silently walked to Mama Xia's side, put his hand on her back, and gave Mama Xia her comfort.

"Aijuan, don't be angry." The eldest aunt saw a good banquet and was messed up by the old lady's words. She was angry and anxious, and went to Mama Xia to persuade her.

"Can I not be angry?" Xia's mother raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face vigorously. Because of excitement, her hand kept shaking. "Who of you don't know what kind of person my Yangyang is? Why is he called a pervert?"

"Second sister-in-law-" "Second sister-in-law-" Chen Shaofeng and Xia Jianhua were shocked by Xia's mother's words, and stood up at the same time and shouted.

"Yangyang, let's go back." Xia's mother suddenly rushed in front of her son, took Xia Jiusheng's hand, and walked out quickly.

"Master——" "Brother——" Ah Fu and An An didn't understand what happened, and saw that the master was suddenly taken away, they ran out and shouted.

Father Xia walked over without saying a word, took Ah Fu and An An's hands, and walked home.

Zhang Guohai looked at his nephew standing there, who seemed to be awake, and sighed helplessly.
