Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

"Brother, I don't want to go to school."

As soon as Li Zhankui finished speaking, he heard Li Hongmei say.

"why?"

Li Zhankui was not angry when he heard the younger sister's refusal, but asked patiently.

"Brother, let my younger brother go to school. I can teach myself at home, and I can also help my mother with some work. Besides, I am a girl, so I can count and know my own name."

Li Hongmei raised her head and said seriously.

Seeing the little girl's dirty face, torn clothes, and chilblained hands, Li Zhankui could only blame himself and feel distressed.

He knew that it wasn't that my younger sister didn't want to go to school, it was just that her family was poor and couldn't afford to go to school.

This affordability is not just a matter of a few dollars a month in tuition fees. If she goes to school, there will be no one to do the work at home, no one to earn work points, and no one to take care of her mother.

is a series of questions.

Even if Li Zhankui came back with money now, he could pay off the debts he owed outside and help his mother see a doctor, but if she went to school, with her mother's body, if she worked too much, she would definitely get sick again. big money.

Moreover, Li Hongmei knew that her elder brother was married and had his own small family, so it was impossible for her and her younger brother to be supported forever.

"Okay, you don't have to listen to what brother says, but do you listen to what your brother Wei Dong says? When I came back this trip, he specifically explained that I would send you to school."

Li Zhankui knew that he was not the only one who was grateful to Li Weidong, no matter whether his mother or younger sister, the same was true.

Just after he came back, the younger sister talked about Li Weidong's visit to the house before. Looking at her bright eyes, she knew how happy she was.

It is precisely because of this that he moved Li Weidong out.

"Ah, Brother Wei Dong wants me to go to school?"

Li Hongmei was obviously taken aback, and became hesitant.

"Yes, if you don't want you to go to school, your Brother Wei Dong will not give you books on purpose. Do you want to disappoint him? Besides, you don't have to worry at home. Forget that your brother is also a cadre now? The monthly salary It's enough to feed our whole family, and your sister-in-law also means the same thing.

As for mother, you don't have to worry about it. I'll talk to the third master later and ask him to arrange an easy job for mother.

You go to elementary school now, and you don't have classes at night, so you can help your mother with some work when you come back from school. "

Li Zhankui said a lot.

Li Hongmei bit her lip. Although she hadn't agreed yet, the expression on her face was no longer as determined as it was at the beginning.

"Xiaomei, listen to your brother. Mother is in much better health now. You don't need to worry about the family. When you are admitted to university in the future, I will repay you brother Wei Dong."

Mother Li also spoke at this time.

She is pleased that her daughter is sensible, but she is more guilty.

If it weren't for her body, the family wouldn't be so poor, and the daughter wouldn't say that she didn't want to go to school.

Other people's children are mischievous, but my own daughter has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child.

While other people's children were playing outside, my own daughter was helping the house.

Other people's children can occasionally eat an egg and buy new clothes. My own daughter sneaks up to drink cold water in the middle of the night when she is hungry.

If she hadn't been unable to let go of her daughter and son, she would not have survived at all.

Even several times, she wanted to give up her own life, and didn't want to drag the family down, but when she thought of her death, her daughter and son would become children without father and mother, and she couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, with the return of the eldest son and the help of Li Weidong, her family is rapidly improving, and finally she sees hope.

Now, since Li Zhankui has the ability and the heart, she naturally doesn't want to delay her daughter any longer.

It is useless for girls to go to school. In the final analysis, apart from those patriarchal parents' thoughts, the real reason is that the family is poor.

"Ah."

Under the repeated persuasion of her mother and elder brother, Li Hongmei finally nodded her head, her eyes became firmer, and she secretly vowed in her heart that she must study hard and repay Brother Weidong's great kindness when she is admitted to university in the future.

"By the way, where's my brother?"

Li Zhankui signaled his mother to put the money away before asking.

"I went to play with Wei Guo of Uncle Quan's family."

Li Hongmei explained.

"Just know how to play, I won't be at home in the future, you should take care of your brother."

Li Zhankui said.

"it is good."

Li Hongmei responded crisply.

In the evening, Li Zhankui came to Li Chunhua's house. Besides him, there were Li Shuquan, Li Chongjiu and his son.

Although Li Zhankui is not familiar with Li Chongjiu, he has met him twice before, and he also knows that there are two places in the training base. In addition to Li Chunhua's son, the other is Li Chongjiu's son.

"Brother Kui."

Seeing Li Zhankui coming, Li Weichuan, who had been told more than once, and Li Chongjiu's son, Li Baoguo, shouted in unison.

They were about the same age, both had just turned [-], they were young men, and they looked at Li Zhankui with fiery eyes.

Especially Li Weichuan, after all, he is in the same village as Li Zhankui, so he knows Li Zhankui's situation best.

At noon, his father came back to explain the situation to him. When he knew that Li Zhankui was already a deputy department-level cadre, and he would go to work in the city, he would work under Li Zhankui, and he could stuff an egg into his mouth.

Although his father is the captain of the brigade, he has adjusted his attitude very well. Even if he feels that Li Zhankui is today because of Li Weidong's promotion, but after all, the other party is his future leader, and he has to count on him to work there. The other party takes care.

So even though he was a little cautious and thought that with the relationship between his father and Li Weidong, he could be a cadre in the future, but he didn't show it right now.

As for Li Baoguo, it's even simpler. Being able to work in the city is already a great luck, and he doesn't know Li Weidong, so he has no idea.

"Well, how are you two learning? When you go there in the future, you will lead the dog on duty and patrol. Besides, you have to follow the training. If you don't want to suffer a disadvantage and can't keep up, you can do it while you are still at home. Exercise yourself first."

Li Zhankui was not polite, and directly regarded the two as his subordinates.

"Brother Kui, don't worry, raising a dog is very easy to learn, and I promise not to embarrass you when I go there."

Li Weichuan immediately promised.

Earlier Li Chunhua said that his son was a little bored and didn't like to deal with people, but he didn't say that this son was stupid, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen this youngest son.

Especially when it comes to his own future, Li Weichuan will naturally not be willful.

"Me too."

Li Baoguo nodded vigorously.

"My face is nothing to lose, but if you fail to pass the time, you will lose the face of the deputy captain. Don't blame me for being rude."

Li Zhankui said coldly.

Immediately, Li Weichuan and Li Baoguo felt a chill all over.

"Third Master, Director Li, there are some things that the deputy captain can't say, but I have to make it clear first. If the two of them don't obey at that time, I will definitely kick them back."

Li Zhankui doesn't mind being a villain himself.

And there are some things that must be said first, if Li Weichuan and Li Baoguo misbehave in the name of Li Weidong, he will definitely not be polite.

"Deputy Section Chief Li, since the person is entrusted to you, whether it is beating or scolding, you decide, just keep your breath."

Li Chongjiu immediately stated that he was not Li Chunhua and had no friendship with Li Zhankui. To some extent, the quota for his own son was more like a kind of compensation for his withdrawal from the competition for captain.

"Yes, Wei Chuan called you brother, if you dare to be disobedient, you can hit him hard."

Li Chunhua also said seriously.

Beside, Li Weichuan and Li Baoguo had a flash of fear on their faces, and they both had a bad premonition in their hearts.

"Okay, Wei Chuan and Bao Guo are two children I can trust, and they won't cause trouble."

At this time, Li Shuquan stood up to smooth things over.

Only he can say this, and even he didn't stand up until Li Zhankui became famous, obviously he was hesitant.

After all, Li Weidong gave the two their jobs. If they go to work, if they perform too badly and cause trouble, people will only see Li Weidong's jokes.

As Li Weidong's second uncle, it is clear at a glance who he is facing.

Even if Li Zhankui hadn't said this just now, he would have stood up and been a villain.

Fortunately, Li Zhankui did not disappoint him, and spoke entirely from Li Weidong's standpoint.

After Li Shuquan calmed down, the atmosphere in the house was obviously much better.

While waiting for dinner, Li Weichuan toasted Li Baoguo with two glasses of wine, but was kicked out by Li Chunhua, because he saw that Li Zhankui seemed to have something to say.

"Third Master, Second Uncle, Director Li, when I come back, the deputy captain has something else for me to tell you."

"whats the matter?"

Li Shuquan asked.

"The vice-captain previously set up a greenhouse on the sixth farm, and planted a lot of improved sweet potatoes in it. The vice-captain meant that he wanted to put the experimental field in the village, but he couldn't let outsiders, especially the community, know about it."

Li Zhankui said with a suppressed voice.

"Improved sweet potatoes?"

"Experimental field?"

The three of Li Chunhua reacted differently, but their expressions became obviously serious. After all, it involves the food issue, which is the most important thing in the village.

"Yes, after the improvement, the yield of those sweet potatoes will increase a lot, but because it is still in the experiment, it should not be known to the outside world, and must be kept secret."

Li Zhankui nodded.

This is also another task that Li Weidong assigned him.

"Don't worry about the confidentiality issue. How many experimental fields are needed? The village has just reclaimed [-] acres of river beach. Is it enough?"

Li Chongjiu said immediately.

"It doesn't need to be that much. What the deputy captain means is that it is enough to set aside about ten acres."

Li Zhankui said.

"So few? Don't worry, our brigade has no shortage of land."

Li Chongjiu was a little surprised. Just now he saw Li Zhankui's solemnity, so he thought how much he would plant.

"It's not a matter of land, it's mainly about keeping secrets."

Li Zhankui shook his head.

"That's easy to say. I will personally lead someone to guard it when the time comes."

Li Shuquan frowned and said.

What he was thinking at the moment was, why didn't his nephew tell him about this when he saw Li Weidong yesterday afternoon, did he forget?Or was it a sudden decision?

Involuntarily, he looked at Li Chunhua.

"What else did Wei Dong explain?"

Li Chunhua pondered for a moment, looked at Li Zhankui and asked.

"There's nothing else."

"Okay, I know about this matter, you go back and tell Weidong that this matter will be regarded as the most urgent task in the village."

Li Chunhua nodded.

With Li Chunhua's guarantee, Li Zhankui didn't say anything more, and the atmosphere before the meeting was restored again.

Even so, Li Zhankui didn't drink much and kept himself sober.

After dinner, Li Zhankui was the first to leave.

That night, the lights at Li Chunhua's house were on until midnight.

The next day, after Li Zhankui attended the commendation meeting in the village, he led the two villagers who got the job places to leave.

On the way, Li Zhankui naturally told the two of them a lot, even though they were going to the farm, where they just had to work honestly, but he still didn't want any trouble between the two of them.

As for the sixth farm, although Li Zhankui didn't stay for a long time, he knew the way very well. According to Li Weidong's instructions, he took the two of them directly to find Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji was not surprised to see Li Zhankui bringing someone here. In fact, Li Weidong came here before, and gave him the job quota with the signature of the captain, and asked him to help with the entry process.

Seeing the captain's signature at that time, Zhou Ji took a deep look at Li Weidong.

He knew that the job quota was banned before, and the captain personally ordered it.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Li Weidong got the captain's signature.

If he hadn't known that the two had nothing to do with each other, outsiders might think that Li Weidong was the captain's own son.

No, based on his understanding of the captain, even his own son would definitely not have this kind of treatment, and it is impossible for the captain to make an exception.

Involuntarily, he thought of the fact that the captain came to the sixth farm before. He thought that the captain came to see the construction of the sixth farm before leaving. Although the other party went to the greenhouse first, it was also because of Li Weidong.

Now that I think about it, the reason why the captain came to Li Weidong was entirely invited by Li Weidong. As for the real purpose, I am afraid it was the signature in his hand.

It's just that he couldn't figure it out, why did Li Weidong have to be in such a hurry?
It's just two jobs, even if those two are from the countryside, Li Weidong's position on the farm is acceptable, even if the captain leaves, as long as he proposes, neither he nor Zhao Haifeng will refuse.

Why do you have to let the captain make an exception at this juncture?
Isn't this an obvious embarrassment for the captain?
It's just that no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what Li Weidong was thinking.

As for the things that have been achieved in the greenhouse, even he and Zhao Haifeng have not known about it so far.

In other words, even if you understand some of the situation, you don't think deeply about it.

What's more, Li Weidong's request for a job quota was just an introduction. He originally wanted to give credit to the team leader, but the team leader didn't accept it.

After Li Zhankui handed him over to Zhou Ji, he returned to the training base without even seeing his wife who was working on the farm.

Originally, he wanted to report back to the village with Li Weidong, but he didn't expect that Li Weidong left the base early this morning with the Spike Special Forces Team.
