Chapter 86

help?

Liu Xianglan didn't hesitate and said immediately: "Yuan Hai, tell me, what are you busy with?"

"As long as I can help, I will definitely help!"

Ji Yuanhai said: "It's a little dangerous."

"That's okay." Liu Xianglan said without hesitation, "My life is yours, and I'm not afraid of anything—"

It wasn't until the words came out of my mouth that I realized my slip of the tongue, and quickly explained to Lu Heling: "Ah, no, Heling, don't get me wrong."

"I mean that your family is kind to me, and I can risk my life."

Lu Heling nodded: "Sister Liu, you don't need to rush to explain, I know what you mean; Yuan Hai, what do you want Sister Liu to do for you? If it's really dangerous, then don't mention it at all."

Liu Xianglan waved her hand: "Don't!"

"I can actually agree to anything, that is, if I have an accident, can Xiaohong stutter—"

Lu Heling didn't know what Ji Yuanhai was going to ask Liu Xianglan to do.

But having said that, if there is any danger for Liu Xianglan to do things for her own family, and Wang Xiaohong is a lonely child, of course it is impossible for her to be unemployed.

"Sister Liu, don't worry, no matter what time, Xiaohong can have a full meal at my house." Lu Heling promised Liu Xianglan.

Liu Xianglan felt relieved all of a sudden: "Then I won't be afraid of anything."

"Yuan Hai, tell me, what do you want me to do? I can do anything."

Ji Yuanhai said: "I want your household registration book, and I will take you to the county seat in three days."

"If the negotiation is settled at that time, your household registration will no longer be a member of Xiaoshan Village, and you will become a small street vendor in the county town, a handicraft worker or something, and then do me a favor in the county town; if the negotiation fails, we will come back the same way, then Just act like nothing happened.”

Lu Heling was puzzled: "Yuan Hai, what's going on?"

Liu Xianglan was even more at a loss: "Yuan Hai, what danger are you talking about?"

Ji Yuanhai briefly talked to the two about the fact that he was going to be hired by the flower stall in the county town, mainly because this matter should be kept a little more secret, and Director Bai in the county town was involved.

Furthermore, the production team will not allow it; if it is reported to the production team, then according to the rules, [-] to [-]% of the income must be handed over to the collective before the production team can issue a certificate of permission to go out to make money.

But Ji Yuanhai took it out to change his household registration, and he was worried that there would be an accident and his household registration would be withheld.

So I thought of Liu Xianglan.

Just as Ji Yuanhai expected, he felt that the danger, which might lead to the deduction of household registration and affect the college entrance examination, had no effect on Liu Xianglan at all.

Liu Xianglan said carelessly, "How dangerous is this?"

"I've had enough of staying in Xiaoshantun Production Brigade, and I'm very happy to be able to change my household registration to work in the city; the countryside gives me seven or eight work points a day, and Xiaohong and I have no food when we're hungry. I don't want to pass the day!"

"Whoever wants to deduct my account book, then deduct it!"

"I don't have a household registration book. Someone will definitely do it for me when the time comes. But if no one does it for me, I will go back to Xiaoshantun and live the same life."

Ji Yuanhai reminded her: "Working in the county, if I don't get along well with others, you will be the first to suffer."

Liu Xianglan said directly: "What are you afraid of? Not afraid!"

Ji Yuanhai was speechless and said, "So, is this matter settled?"

"It's decided, let's do it like this!" Liu Xianglan said directly, "In three days, we will go to the county seat. Whatever you say, I will do it!"

So it's settled.

Liu Xianglan called Wang Xiaohong over, and before leaving, she glanced at Ji Yuanhai, obviously wanting to say something.

After Liu Xianglan left, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling went over the details.

Lu Heling also felt frightened when she heard it. After Ji Yuanhai explained her considerations and Mr. Wang's analysis and guarantee, she felt relieved.

Then the two of them studied in front of the book for a long time before taking a rest.

Three days will arrive in a blink of an eye, and Ji Yuanhai concentrates on studying at home, occasionally cooking and catching fish.

No one in the Ji family said anything, but the seventh uncle Ji Baotian came to visit his house once, and only then did he know that he was also preparing for the college entrance examination.

"I thought you were going out every day to make extra money. I was worried that if you didn't do well, people would report it to the commune, so I wanted to give you a reminder."

"Now I understand!"

"You are a high-spirited boy. From the day you married your wife, you have never thought about staying in Xiaoshantun!"

The seventh uncle also spoke with emotion, he still remembered Ji Yuanhai asking himself how he should go to the city before and after he married Lu Heling.

Now it seems that Ji Yuanhai's mind has never been stable.

I just don’t know about the college entrance examination, whether he can do it—Lu Heling is an educated girl, and it’s possible to go to school in the college entrance examination; But it's so miserable.

For this reason, the seventh uncle reminded Ji Yuanhai: "If you are really not sure of passing the exam, let your wife give birth to a baby first! If you have a baby, you can hold on to it anyway, and you won't be able to run away!"

"Uncle Seven, don't worry, He Ling is not someone who just runs away." Ji Yuanhai said.

Seeing that he didn't listen, the seventh uncle also shook his head and left.

Very smart kid, a bit stubborn about this matter.

Once someone passes the exam and goes to school, can you, a farm man, keep the colorful world outside?

In the past three days, Wang Laosan, who had returned home, did not go out at all, as if he had become a big girl in a boudoir; indeed, the Wang family went to the first team and the third team, holding back their energy to solicit votes, and waited for Lu Heling to vote for him. When accounting, drag her down.

It's a pity that they didn't know at all that Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling were just doing accounting for a little convenience, and they didn't want to be official production team accountants at all.

What they were thinking about was completely different from what Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling were thinking.

During these three days, Widow Liu told Wang Xiaohong a lot, making her believe in Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling, and go to Ji Yuanhai's house when she has time.

If Ji Yuanhai's family doesn't have enough to eat, he must learn to boil water and cook by himself.

He also personally taught Wang Xiaohong to boil two pots of water and make porridge once.

This morning, after the whistle blew, all the workers in the production team left.

Ji Yuanhai arrived at Liu Xianglan's house and motioned Liu Xianglan to get on the bicycle and follow him.

Liu Xianglan hugged Wang Xiaohong, and said with a nasal voice, "Mother is going to buy you delicious food, I'll wait at home."

"I understand, mother." Wang Xiaohong also cried for some reason.

Ji Yuanhai couldn't help laughing, and reminded: "Sister Liu, did you misunderstand something? We don't care if we succeed or not, we will come back tonight."

"Even if you want to change your account, you have to wait another three days."

"After changing your household registration, everything has been decided. It's not like you can't come back in the county seat by then. What are you doing? Should I take you to the execution ground?"

Widow Liu was a little confused and looked up at Ji Yuanhai: "Ah? Yuan Hai, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I thought I was leaving with you today, and I didn't know when I would be able to come back to see the child. Isn't that right?"

"You've said it all, you can do whatever I say, and I won't harm you, so I think you need to explain it specially?" Ji Yuanhai said, "Look at you, you scared the child to tears..."

Widow Liu was really dumbfounded and even blushed in embarrassment.

"You see this is a misunderstanding!"

"Xiaohong, wait at home, I'll be back after noon, and I'll buy you some delicious food then!"

Wang Xiaohong also understood, and smiled through tears: "Well, mother, I'll wait! I'm not going anywhere, just waiting at home."

Riding on the bicycle, Ji Yuanhai motioned for Liu Xianglan to sit on it.

Just as Liu Xianglan wanted to sit down, she shook her head again: "No, you can rest in Xiaoshantun first, and I'll talk about it after walking three miles."

"If I sit on the back seat of your bicycle and leave the village like this, tomorrow the entire production team will know that we have something going on!"

"not like this!"

At Liu Xianglan's insistence, she walked out of Xiaoshantun first, and Ji Yuanhai accompanied Wang Xiaohong to catch a fish and put it in her small puddle.

After estimating that the time was almost up, I rode my bicycle and left Xiaoshantun.

A few miles away from Xiaoshantun, I saw Liu Xianglan walking in the distance, and there were no members of the Xiaoshantun production team in the fields on both sides.

The green gauze tent composed of corn fields is now as tall as one person, and it also blocks the view of others.

As soon as the bicycle stopped at his feet, Ji Yuanhai motioned for Liu Xianglan to get into the back seat of the car.

Liu Xianglan had just walked a few miles and was sweating now, leaning up from the back of the car.

Only through the thin clothes, even sweat beads passed through the clothes, making Ji Yuanhai feel wet.

This made Ji Yuanhai's throat feel a little dry.

"Sister Liu, sit down..."

Liu Xianglan sat down silently.

Ji Yuanhai rode the [-] big pole toward the city. The road was not very good, not even a cement road. It was a pure yellow dirt road with constant bumps and bumps.

Ji Yuanhai could clearly feel the bumps and bumps from behind, hitting his back.

Soon there were obvious marks on the back of Era Sea.

"Yuan Hai, slow down." Liu Xianglan said.

Ji Yuanhai was riding a bicycle a little slower.

"I'm telling you a joke today. I've been telling Xiaohong the past two days, no matter what, she can survive even if I'm not at home..." Liu Xianglan said in a low voice.

"I'm not joking." Ji Yuanhai replied, "Sister Liu, it's not easy for you, I've always known it. If it wasn't for the children, why wouldn't you be able to live well by yourself?"

"For the sake of the child, you have broken your heart."

Liu Xianglan's eyes were hot, and her nose was sour.

Yuan Hai understands me after all.

Ji Yuanhai continued: "To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for getting food for the children, how could you take advantage of me?"

As soon as the words fell, he felt a tightness around his waist, and the people behind him came close and hugged him tightly.

"Sister Liu?"

Liu Xianglan tightly hugged his lower back, pressed her face against him, sniffing the smell of his clothes, but tears flowed involuntarily from her eyes.

not like this!
At first, I was really hungry and helpless, but later, it was not like that at all.

Yuan Hai, I am not like this.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be what I am now; if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be good with others...

"Yuan Hai, that's my own pleasure."

Liu Xianglan said in a muffled voice.

Ji Yuanhai stopped his bicycle, under the scorching sun, he saw Liu Xianglan with tears on his face.

I wanted to cry in the morning, but I didn't cry, but now I did.

"Sister Liu, you are crying."

Liu Xianglan didn't speak, but just laid her face on Ji Yuanhai's back again, and her warm tears flowed on the thin clothes again, and could be clearly felt on his back.

Surrounded by tall cornfields, the road was silent and there was no sound of people.

Only Ji Yuanhai, Liu Xianglan who was crying silently on his back.

Ji Yuanhai got off the bicycle, and Liu Xianglan also got off the back seat of the bicycle, but leaned over again, reaching out to hug Ji Yuanhai's waist.

Ji Yuanhai's mouth felt dry, and he said in a low voice, "This is the side of the road..."

Liu Xianglan looked at the green gauze tent.

The hearts of both of them were beating violently.

Ji Yuanhai pushed the bicycle into the cornfield.

The green corn leaves were intertwined, and the two of them still cuddled together.

"Huh...huh...Yuanhai, I am willing to do anything for you, are you happy?"

"Happy."

"Yuanhai, only you touch me, okay?"

"it is good."

"I really want to be with you, Yuan Hai—" Liu Xianglan said this, and suddenly pressed Ji Yuanhai's hand, "Yuan Hai, that's all."

Ji Yuanhai looked at her in surprise: It's like this, how can you still bear it?

"I told He Ling...it can't...really can't..." Liu Xianglan whispered, "I'm an unlucky person, this can't be done."

Afraid that Ji Yuanhai would be disappointed and angry, Liu Xianglan explained in a low voice: "Yuanhai, I didn't mean it. Really... I really didn't. Do you want to find a way?"

"I have a way, but it's not appropriate now. Let's talk about it later..."

Ji Yuanhai put on his clothes and said, "Clean up and go to the county seat."

Liu Xianglan held his arm: "Yuan Hai, don't be angry, and don't feel bad."

"How about you tell me and I'll help you, as long as we don't do that..."

Ji Yuanhai patted her buttocks: "Don't think too much, let's go."

"You only let me touch it, and I'm happy too."

Feeling his intimacy, Liu Xianglan felt much better.

The two got back on the road, and Ji Yuanhai took her to the county seat on his bicycle.

Arriving at the County Family Courtyard, as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Gao Daming walking back and forth under the shade of a tree.

Because Uncle Zhao had already listed Gao Daming as a suspicious liar, Uncle Zhao stayed away when he was here, so Ji Yuanhai did not see Uncle Zhao.

"Why don't you enter the family courtyard?" Ji Yuanhai stopped the car and asked Gao Daming.

Gao Daming smiled wryly at Ji Yuanhai: "I can't enter."

Ji Yuanhai was confused: "You can't come in? You're not Director Bai..."

"Director Bai means...no, it's what I mean..."

Gao Daming stammered and smoothed out his words: "That's what I meant. Since Director Bai has already introduced the person for me, and Comrade Xiao Ji, you have also brought the person here, then we don't need to trouble Director Bai anymore."

"Why don't you give me this lesbian's household registration book, and then we can discuss the terms."

This guy named Bai... is really a loach.

Ji Yuanhai changed his mind and thought of Mr. Wang's words, thinking that this would be a good idea.

Just talk to this Gao Daming about the conditions.

"Since Boss Gao said so, let's do this. Where shall we talk?"

Ji Yuanhai asked.

Gao Daming said: "Don't call me Boss Gao. Others don't know what happened to me. Don't you know? You are much better than me!"

"Being older, you can call me Brother Gao or Brother Daming, and I'll call you Xiao Ji."

Without Director Bai watching over him, Gao Daming's attitude was much fresher.

He led the way and turned south through the county vegetable market. There was a small house facing the street. There was a small stall in front of the house with the words: "Selling Flowers and Grass" written on it.

It can be said that it is so simple that it completely lacks the elegance of flowers, birds, fish and insects.

At this moment, the door of the small house is closed.

Gao Daming opened the door, stepped over several pots of flowers and plants, and let Ji Yuanhai and Liu Xianglan in.

Not only Ji Yuanhai saw it, but even Liu Xianglan saw it.

This is such a mess, how can there be any order?
No wonder we need to hire people. If we continue to open a store like this, we will really not be able to open it.

"Sit, all sit..." Gao Daming found a place to sit down.

Ji Yuanhai and Liu Xianglan took a look, but they didn't sit down. It was really not easy to find a clean and tidy seat where there was soil here and flower pots there.

"This is a lesbian from our production team named Liu Xianglan. She has a younger sister who is the accountant of our production team." Ji Yuanhai helped Liu Xianglan introduce himself, "Brother Gao, tell me about your own situation, and then we Get to know each other."

"Then we'll discuss the terms."

Gao Daming smiled wryly: "Conditions? What conditions can I talk about?"

However, after Ji Yuanhai said this, he still introduced his situation.

The hunchbacked Lao Gao's son inherited his father's business and was not very good at growing flowers and herbs. He managed to keep it open for a month, but Director Bai came to see him because there was something wrong with the pine bonsai, and it ended up like this after that.

Director Bai also thought that he still had his wife and children to support, so he didn't go to the end, and promised that he would have a share of the money when the time came. As for how much, Director Bai had the final say.

After talking about these things, we started to negotiate terms.

Since Ji Yuanhai is not under the control of Director Bai, but is employed, the monthly payment will be set at 25 yuan...

25 yuan was a bit too little, so Ji Yuanhai stretched out his palm and said, "Fifty."

"Fifty is too high—Director Bai won't agree." Gao Daming said.

"Director Bai will agree, he knows that I have the ability to grow flowers and plants." Ji Yuanhai said.

Gao Daming tried to bargain, but Ji Yuanhai did not waver at all.

"If we really can't agree, let's just break up. There's no need to force a match."

"But the price is really too high... I have to ask Director Bai."

"Then you can ask, I'll wait." Ji Yuanhai said.

Gao Daming went there by bicycle, and about an hour later, Director Bai followed into the room with a smile.

"Xiao Ji, fifty is too expensive, let's say thirty-five."

"45, after tidying up this hut, let Liu Xianglan put a bed, so that he can live in it when rain or snow is inconvenient." Ji Yuanhai made a compromise.

Director Bai emphasized again: "Forty, it's okay to let her live, but it can't damage the property because of this, and she must be compensated."

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Then it's a deal."

 Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a monthly ticket
