They in the 70s

"What! Do you want to run a school?"

Hearing this idea from He Zhi early in the morning, Wu Changde, who was lying sickly on the kang, became energetic almost immediately.

Speaking of it, Wu Changde is like most of the villagers in Shimen Village. His family has lived in this village for generations. Know how big the outside world is.

They are born with the idea of ​​working, plowing, eating, dressing, living, and very little else.

Not only Shimen Village, but people in almost the entire Bian Sui area are like this.

However, although Wu Changde has been a party secretary for many years and is used to it, he is not a dead-headed person, nor is he stubborn. He often contacts with cadres who have read some books in the county, and he is greatly influenced. Although he doesn't understand, he knows that culture and knowledge are good things.

In the early years, there was an old Confucian student in the village who could read and break characters, count and write. He was considered a very learned person in Shimen Village. Wu Changde once offered two hens as a gift to him to teach the children in the village. .

However, the old Confucian scholar was already very old at that time, and he passed away not long after teaching. Wu Changde's daughter, Wu Qingqing, was the best among those children in middle school, but she only learned some simple writing and arithmetic, and did not know anything about it. Greater attainments.

This has always been Wu Changde's great regret.

Therefore, when he suddenly heard He Zhi's idea of ​​running a school to teach children to read, Wu Changde's agitated illness was cured immediately.

"This is a good thing! A great thing!"

Wu Changde put on his sheepskin jacket and got off the kang, and asked He Zhi to go to the outer room, move a stool, and pour hot tea, his excitement was beyond words.

"Comrade Xiaohe."

Wu Changde looked at He Zhi, and the more he watched, the happier he became. "I knew that among the group of young people from your capital, you are the only kid who can do something serious."

"It's not my decision."

He Zhi said: "It is the result of discussions among all the educated youth spots. Everyone will participate in various matters related to running the school in the future."

"Oh?"

Wu Changde expressed doubts. He knew that the girls who were educated youths were usually honest, and they might be able to help, but those bastards could do nothing but make trouble.

"Comrade Xiaohe, it's not me, it's just your brother, hey!"

Speaking of Lu Zhansheng, Wu Changde immediately put away his smile and changed his face to look disgusted: "When I first came here, I was so obedient and clever, what a wonderful baby, why did I become like this now?"

He Zhi looked at him with a little helplessness on his face. "Secretary, all of them are still children at heart, and they are impulsive, but they are not bad-hearted, and they are not messing around for no reason. I explained this to you last time."

Wu Changde felt choked when he heard the words, he was dizzy that day, He Zhi told him a lot after sending him back, about the starting point of Lu Zhansheng's anger, about the seriousness of his privately withholding the rations of educated youths, It was true and every sentence made sense. Although he didn't say anything at the time, he still listened to it and thought about it.

Wu Changde dug out the pipes and pots, and didn't answer any more. He Zhicai continued, "To run a school is not to open a private school. For this matter, you need to submit an application to the county and go through the formalities. You need to do many things."

"No problem." Wu Changde said: "If you need me to do something, just ask, and we will take care of it."

"We still need to choose a place and build a few houses as classrooms." He Zhi said.

"You choose the place, choose whichever looks good."

Wu Changde thought for a while: "It's not easy to build a house. When we build a house here, we will dig holes in the gable wall. But now there is no suitable place in the village. My nephew doesn't have a house to marry a wife."

"You don't need gable walls, you can build on flat ground." He Zhi said.

Hearing this, Wu Changde thought about it again, and suddenly remembered the small houses that Lu Zhansheng had built in the educated youth spot before. The boards were upright and decent, just like houses in the county.

Wu Changde took a puff of the cigarette pipe and pot, and snorted: "Your little Lu baby is a little messy, but he still has some skills."

"Ah."

He Zhi nodded, and the corners of his mouth curled down: "He is very capable."

They talked about many specific details, and until noon, Wu Changde wanted to keep He Zhi at home for dinner, but he couldn't.

When He Zhi was leaving, Wu Changde deliberately asked Wu Qingqing to give it away, saying that he was worried that if He Zhi met a cat or dog on the road, it was actually because he was drunk.

In fact, Wu Changde had secretly inquired with Li Dabao, who was an educated youth, that He Zhi didn’t have a girlfriend in the capital at all, and it was Lu Zhansheng who lied to him. If there is hope, he still wants to take He Zhi home. Be a son-in-law.

Wu Qingqing knows what her father thinks, and she also thinks that He Zhi is very good. He Zhi is cultured, educated, and good-looking, but for some reason, she just feels that she looks at He Zhi like her brother, and she doesn't want to marry give him.

Being arranged by Wu Changde to send He Zhi, Wu Qingqing did not refuse, but she immediately explained her thoughts to He Zhi after leaving the gate of her house. She felt that He Zhi didn't mean anything to her anyway. Just make it clear to avoid misunderstandings.

After clarifying their respective attitudes, both of them relaxed. He Zhi said that he could lend her some books, and Wu Qingqing continued to follow him to the educated youth point.

As she walked, she turned a corner, and when she looked up, the three young men in front of her were standing on the road, which gave her a fright.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wu Qingqing felt that the three young men's faces were not very good, and their emotions were not normal.

indeed.

After all, they each have their own ghosts.

In comparison, Zheng Yan is the most normal among them, because he has no other thoughts but pure envy and jealousy.

In Zheng Yan's opinion, the little girl from the Wu family is really good-looking, not like the bright and charming girls in the city who are so good-looking. The little girl at home is different.

Wu Qingqing is petite, with exquisite facial features, bright eyes, clear to the bottom, pure as if there is no impurity in the slightest, and she is full of the most primitive simplicity and purity. The kind everyone wants to protect.

Since Zheng Yanchang was so old, when he faced a certain girl for the first time, he felt a little different emotion in his heart, which made him always think about it, and it took him several days to understand it.

So Zheng Yan felt a little envious of He Zhi. After all, in his opinion, Wu Changde had always thought about He Zhi, and after so many things, he estimated that He Zhi's position in the hearts of all the elders and younger ones in the Wu family was already undeniable. shaken.

See you again, Song.

Although Song Jian had never been in a serious relationship before, he had a lot of contact with this kind of thing, so he reacted quickly. The first time he saw Wu Qingqing seriously on the threshing ground that day, he knew I am tempted.

He is just skeptical and amazed now, and then he can't accept it. After all, in his opinion, the scene of those two people walking side by side, talking and chatting seems to be too harmonious, so he was a little suspicious at that time. Did the little girl secretly fall in love with her long ago?

Especially when some red marks suddenly appeared on He Zhi's neck in the morning, following such an association, he immediately felt that his heart was almost broken.

The last is Lu Zhansheng.

What Lu Zhansheng had in mind was much simpler, he was just angry.

He knew that there was nothing between He Zhi and Wu Qingqing, but he was still angry when he saw them walking together.

Speaking of which, Lu Zhansheng is also quite distressed. Ever since he did some unspeakable things with He Zhi, his mental state has become more and more strange. He doesn't want He Zhi to have too much contact with others, even He didn't want to let He Zhi say a few more words to others.

Especially women.

In particular, Wu Changde was always thinking about finding a son-in-law.

So when he saw He Zhi and Wu Qingqing walking over together, Lu Zhansheng felt uncomfortable from head to toe. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't do it, he wished he could go over and drag He Zhi over to make a small doll and put it in Hide it in your own pocket, don't touch it, don't look at it, don't think about it.

After seeing Lu Zhansheng's ugly face, Wu Qingqing stopped in her tracks, not daring to move forward.

He Zhi also saw it and stopped.

"Why are you three here?" He Zhi asked.

"... "

And no one answered.

Everyone is not very willing to talk to He Zhi now, only Lu Zhansheng stares at him with big eyes.

At this moment, Lu Zhansheng had completely forgotten the self-blame he had made in the morning, and he just stared at He Zhi, his eyes almost shining brightly and wrote: Come here!

He Zhi just looked at him helplessly for a moment, shook his head, raised his legs and continued walking towards him.

The student Lu Zhan was quite satisfied, and he calmed down his anger.

"We have already told the party secretary about our ideas." He Zhi said, "He is very supportive."

"Anyone with a brain will support it."

Lu Zhansheng rolled his eyes, and then asked Wu Qingqing, "Why are you going?"

Wu Qingqing was a little nervous by his hostility, subconsciously retreated, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and answered him: "Brother He Zhi said he could lend me some books."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng was even more speechless at that time. He thought to himself, why is this borrowing books again? I was borrowing books from the girl surnamed Qin before, and this girl is also the same. Maybe there is still that idiot girl in the city who he doesn't know who it is.

He knows what's going on with this guy, why would he lend someone a book when he meets a girl!

Thinking of this, Lu Zhansheng's anger seemed to rise again.

At this time, two figures came from the corner of another small road.

"The fragrance of makeup and powder is too lazy to add, and the spring hate presses the eyebrows."

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Xia Shucheng approached softly, looked at the group of boys one by one, and shook her head. "Everyone's spring hatred is really strong, the eyebrows are not touching, and they are pressed down to the chin."

Several young men looked over after hearing the words, it was so sudden, everyone didn't understand what it meant, only He Zhi followed Zheng Yan and Song Jian, and then he seemed to understand something, and shook his head helplessly .

He Zhi stepped forward and nodded to Xia Shucheng: "Are you going out?"

"Well, let's go to the mountains and have a look."

Xia Shucheng looked back at Ding Chi behind her, and said with a smile, "I can't stay idle at home, if I don't go out for a stroll, I'm afraid I'll have to complain that I've let down another year of spring."

Ding Chi met his gaze and looked over, didn't say anything, just smiled lightly, then went over and put his arms around Xia Shucheng's shoulders.

After the two left, except for He Zhi, the other three guys just looked at them from behind, and suddenly felt that something was weird.

Besides feeling strange, Lu Zhansheng also felt a little unhappy, because he obviously felt that He Zhi seemed to be a little familiar with these two people, especially the one named Xia Shucheng.

After the people left, Lu Zhansheng immediately asked He Zhi: "What's the matter with you, when did you secretly get acquainted with them without telling me?"

"No." He Zhi said, "I just met on the road two days ago and chatted for a while."

"What's there to talk about." Lu Zhansheng stared directly: "You are not allowed to associate with them in the future, they don't look like a good person."

He Zhi looked a little helpless, and Lu Zhansheng also knew that what he said just now was a little unreasonable, and he thought that He Zhi would definitely have to criticize and educate him again.

But to Lu Zhansheng's surprise, He Zhi didn't. He Zhi just felt helpless for a long time, then turned to Zheng Yan and Song Jian and said, "You two take Xiao Wu back to pick up the books. Lu Zhansheng and I will go around and see See where it is suitable to build a house."

"... "

Zheng Yan and Song Jian didn't realize what it meant after hearing this for a while, so they were all stunned.

He Zhi said again: "I don't like makeup, and I don't have any hatred."

"... "

Zheng Yan and Song Jian listened to these words again, pondered for a while, and understood something, and their expressions immediately changed back at that time.

Lu Zhansheng: These people are really, they only write sour poems that they don't understand, they are boring.
