Chapter 88
When the autumn wind and the night began to feel cool, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling were quiet and studied for more than a month without being disturbed.

For Lu Heling, after getting familiar with the daily accounting work, except for the occasional account summary, which takes some time, the rest of the time is really pure free time. She can sit at the team headquarters with a book and start studying to prepare for the college entrance examination next year.

Because there was no way to hide this situation from the public eye, not only the brigade secretary Ji Baotian, the production team captain Ge, the custodian Ge Shengjin, and several educated youths knew about it, but also the entire Xiaoshantun production team members.

Ji Yuanhai's grandparents and father all quietly reminded Ji Yuanhai.

Or don't let Lu Heling take the exam, once you pass the exam, you can leave.

Or, let Lu Heling have a child quickly to stop her from walking out.

Otherwise, this wife will definitely run away.

However, Ji Yuanhai has his own ideas, and they have no way to take care of them; when the family is separated, Ji Yuanhai is his own head, so he can make his own decisions.

They didn't even know that Ji Yuanhai was also preparing for the college entrance examination, otherwise they would have been even more shocked and helpless.

Because of Lu Heling's college entrance examination, the Wang family also gloated, as if Ji Yuanhai's daughter-in-law would grow wings and run away tomorrow.

For Ji Yuanhai, it has become much easier since things in the county have stabilized.

Liu Xianglan is the one who goes to the county flower stall to help every day. Ji Yuanhai only needs to go to the flower stall every two or three days to restore some flowers and plants and make some flowers and plants grow more vigorously, which is enough to get 40 yuan.

For the first month's 40 yuan, Gao Daming had already given Liu Xianglan; Ji Yuanhai gave Liu Xianglan ten yuan, but Liu Xianglan firmly shook her head. It was Lu Heling's persuasion to let her have some money for backup, so she finally kept five yuan.

Because Ji Yuanhai is quite capable, in the past month, Lao Gao's flower shop has regained its reputation.In the future, it may be time for the flower shop to make money, but this has little to do with Era Sea.

In addition to earning some necessities for life, even small-scale business is not easy at present. Ji Yuanhai really can't expect to have a chance to make a fortune before the college entrance examination.

I go to the county town once every two or three days, and I go to the Wang Family Courtyard in the county every three to five days.

Occasionally, I met Uncle Zhao a few times, and he really stopped selling popsicles.

Uncle Zhao also passed a few words to Ji Yuanhai, saying that someone in Tuanjie Lane wanted Ji Yuanhai to come over and have a look, and Ji Yuanhai pushed him directly.

Uncle Zhao was kind, mainly because Tuanjie Alley really didn’t make money, and there were many things to do. Ji Yuanhai also patiently summed up the learning experience and learning points, and helped himself and Lu Heling think about how to get high scores in the college entrance examination, so These chores are not involved.

Because his physical fitness and energy are relatively good, and his mind is clear, Ji Yuanhai feels that his study status in the past month has been excellent.

One day he even discussed with Lu Heling whether he should go to one of the country's top universities. Lu Heling was a little timid, fearing that she would not pass the exam and miss this opportunity.

The college entrance examination is becoming more stringent and more restrictive year by year. Lu Heling feels that if they fail the college entrance examination next year, the consequences will be very serious for the couple.

Therefore, her idea is to use the top universities as the last choice to apply when they are particularly confident. Key universities such as provincial universities are the goals of their efforts.

If in the worst case scenario, both Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling do not perform well and do poorly in the exam, then they will apply to a first-level university like the provincial capital university.

The highest institution, the provincial university, and the provincial capital university are three completely different levels.

Ji Yuanhai initially agreed with Lu Heling's more cautious idea. Anyway, wait until next year's college entrance examination to estimate your scores before applying. By then, you will be able to know the approximate universities you can apply for.

The production and harvesting activities of the production team are in full swing. The hardest people this year are not the hard-working members of the production team, but two educated youths Ma Bin and Cheng Weiguo.

After one of these two people was detained and released, he was given special care by the production team as a matter of course; the other was involved in the matter of the Wang brothers, and even though there was no actual action, he was also given special care.

The production team was given special attention, which really made them more tired than oxen and horses every day.

Wang Laosan came out from home and stopped staying at home. He wore glasses to participate in labor, and he no longer had the airs of accountant Wang.

There is conclusive evidence that Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang are bad elements among the people. They stole collective property. They have been sentenced and sent to a labor camp.

For such a result, Ji Yuanhai only has a kind of briskness to settle the cause and effect.

The stone that led to Ji Zizi, after careful investigation, turned out to be so twists and turns, and it was such a way to avenge Ji Zizi.

"Yuan Hai, go home with He Ling today, grandpa has something to talk to you about!"

On this day, Ji Yuanshan came to Ji Yuanhai and said something.

Ji Yuanhai responded. When Liu Xianglan came back from the county and Lu Heling came home from the team headquarters, he asked Liu Xianglan and Wang Xiaohong to cook first while Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling went to Ji's house to talk.

Liu Xianglan knew that Ji Yuanhai's family food was better, unless Ji Yuanhai delivered fish, other times Ji's family food was just sweet potato corn bread and porridge, so she specifically said that she would save the rice until Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling came back to eat.

When they arrived at Ji's house, grandparents, parents, elder brother and his wife were preparing to eat, and they wanted to bring bowls of rice to Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling.

Ji Yuanhai said that he and Lu Heling had already eaten and asked them to eat by themselves. The two of them wandered around the yard.

Then the two looked at the dates under the date tree, Ji Yuanhai picked two dates and handed them to Lu Heling, they were crisp and refreshing.

After a while, grandma, mother, and sister-in-law Ma Xiuping began to come out with dishes and chopsticks, pack things, and wash up.

Then the whole family sat together, and grandpa lit the tobacco and talked about what happened today.

Visit relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

During the year, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year are the most important festivals in rural areas, and there must be some relatives who need to visit each other.

"Last year, neither Yuan Shan nor Yuan Hai got married. They are considered children. It is not their fault to leave relatives."

"It won't work this year. Since the two of them are married, they have to visit relatives and communicate with relatives."

"Otherwise, when you start a family and start a business, you don't visit your relatives and elders, which is equivalent to severing ties with others; there is no etiquette for elders to come to see younger ones, only etiquette for younger ones to come to the door. If the younger ones don't come to the door, if something happens in the future, no one will ask for help."

After grandpa said this, Ji Yuanshan and Ma Xiuping both said: "Grandpa, I understand."

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling also nodded.

It's just a two-day delay in visiting relatives, nothing else.

"You are also young, and you don't know some of my relatives. I have to tell you where I live and what I call them." Grandpa mentioned a few relatives.

For example, for grandpa’s sister, Ji Yuanhai needs to be called aunt. There are two aunts, both of whom are Ji Yuanhai’s father;

Father's sister, Ji Yuanhai's aunt, that is, Ji Yuanhai is going, and Jiyuan Mountain is also going. Two people who are married and starting a family must each bring their own gifts.

Mother's sister, Ji Yuanhai's second aunt, Ji Yuanhai and Jiyuanshan are also going.

Mother's brothers, uncle Chen Xiaobao, Ji Yuanhai and Ji Yuanshan are also going.

Not to mention grandparents, they also want to visit.

After grandpa said these things, Ji Yuan Mountain and Ji Yuan Hai also understood.

"Chen Lou's place... it's not easy to talk." Ji Yuanshan whispered.

Wang Jinhua didn't have a good relationship with her mother, and she was aggressive, such a relative, not to mention Ji Yuanhai didn't want to visit, even Ji Yuanshan felt a headache.

Ji Yuanhai looked at his mother, who also looked confused.

Normally, she would have stood up and reprimanded Ji Yuanshan for talking nonsense, but after being slapped in the face two or three times by Wang Jinhua, or even beaten directly, she felt really bad.

Especially thinking that Wang Jinhua will be the head of her natal family in the future, and she feels that she is getting farther and farther away from her natal family.

As long as she is here, no matter how close we are, we still can't get close.

It was the father who spoke up and said, "How should we get rid of this relative? Yuanshan Yuanhai, your grandpa and grandma will definitely visit you, and repay your mother for the kindness of raising her. This is what we should do."

"Your uncle, you should go too."

"But there is one thing. He is also married and has a family. You can't say that he is ignorant and is just a child. If our family puts all the etiquette in place during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year and your brother-in-law doesn't come to our house to visit relatives-"

The mother clenched her hands nervously and looked at the father.

The father said in a deep voice: "Then our family will have no more human relations with your brother-in-law's family during this Mid-Autumn Festival this year."

The mother pursed her lips and was speechless.

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Okay, Dad, I understand."

Ji Yuanshan also said: "I know, I will give him this one time."

"If he doesn't come, we won't go. From now on we will just visit grandpa and grandma."

The mother was silent, lowering her head to wipe away her tears - she had nothing to do about this matter.

The husband has this attitude, and the two married children also have this attitude, so it is almost inevitable to cut off contact with the younger brother's family.

Will Chen Xiaobao come to Ji's house to visit relatives with gifts?Will Wang Jinhua agree?
Even she knew that this would never happen!
After finishing this matter, grandpa continued: "In addition, there are also elders in the village..."

Ji Yuanhai was also quite speechless, he didn't expect this to be really complicated.

"Grandpa, a rough calculation, my family will have to buy more than ten packs of snacks and fruits to have these relatives?"

Grandpa smiled: "No, just five packs!"

"We give it to others, and they give it to us."

"Let's send it to another family. The favors will continue to flow, so that'll be good."

After Ji Yuanhai heard it, he understood it. Nowadays, there are quite a lot of commune members visiting relatives to see their elders. How can every household buy more than a dozen packs of dim sum fruits?Visiting relatives would be too expensive.

It turns out that these favors and gifts still flow with each other.

Ji Yuanhai originally thought that after finally holding a family meeting, his grandfather would definitely have to ask about his absence from work in the past month and Lu Heling's college entrance examination, but he didn't ask anything.

But when the meeting was over, grandma pulled Lu Heling and Ma Xiuping aside and whispered a few words, both Lu Heling and Ma Xiuping were a little embarrassed.

When he returned home for dinner, Ji Yuanhai asked.

Lu Heling replied: "Grandma is urging us to have a child."

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Promise first, let's talk about having a child later."

"Our first goal is to take the college entrance examination."

Lu Heling nodded, and studied harder after eating.

She discovered one thing, that is, Ji Yuanhai may have better academic performance than her, and she needs to work hard to catch up before she can catch up.

After two days in a hurry, Ji Yuanhai bought five packs of snacks and fruits. According to his grandfather's instructions, he went to visit his aunt's house and his second aunt's house. Finally, he went to Chenlou Village and gave them to his grandfather without any embarrassment. Send all my uncle's belongings.

After returning home, he took a few more bags of gifts from Ji's family and gave them to Ji's elders as well.

I also gave Uncle Zhao and Uncle Dong a snack.

Because I know that they don't really want this kind of gift, Ji Yuanhai is just a favor, it's an attitude.

Uncle Zhao and Uncle Dong are very happy.

When he arrived at Mr. Wang, Ji Yuanhai picked a pot of flowers and gave it to him——No way, Mr. Wang likes "Ya", and he would definitely not eat it if he was given some snacks and fruits. Ji Yuanhai bought better food and drink, for Mr. Wang It is meaningless to say.

Before we knew it, the Mid-Autumn Festival was here.

At noon that day, grandpa called Ji Yuan's Hai family, second uncle's family, and third uncle's family to go over, and the family had a reunion dinner at Ji's house.

In the evening, Ji Yuanhai opened a box of mooncakes, moved out the table, and watched the moon with Lu Heling, Liu Xianglan, and Wang Xiaohong under the cool moonlight.

Because of the flower and grass shop, Liu Xianglan helped Ji Yuanhai to stand in the front, and the relationship between the two families became closer, so now there is no need for Lu Heling and Ji Yuanhai to specially invite her, she will come back naturally and stay at Ji Yuanhai's house until after dinner. Lu Heling and the two started to study with books, and they left with Wang Xiaohong.

However, the moon tonight is really nothing to see for Liu Xianglan.

Isn't it the moon?Usually fifteen or sixteen are the same circle.

Wang Xiaohong mainly wanted to join in the fun and feel that it was fun, and by the way, because the moon cakes were sweet, which was an excellent delicacy for her.

Lu Heling looked at the moon in the sky, murmured a few words, and then shed tears down her cheeks.

Ji Yuanhai patted her on the shoulder and said nothing.

It can only be said that the more you think about it, the more uncomfortable you feel.

At that moment just now, he was almost saddened by certain memories...

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, everything went on as usual.

Corn and soybeans are harvested, cotton is harvested, and sweet potatoes are also harvested.

After all this busy work, it’s time to dig, turn, and sow seeds... The production team seems to have so much work to do that they can’t finish it.

About another month later, Ji Yuanshan found Ji Yuanhai one day and winked a little: "Dad said last night that it has been so long since the Mid-Autumn Festival, and our uncle will not come to visit relatives."

"Since the Chinese New Year this year, our family only prepares gifts for grandparents, and the relationship with my uncle's family has been cut off."

"This is considered a divorce." Ji Yuanhai nodded.

Ji Yuanshan smiled and said: "Yes, the engagement is broken off."

"His family dislikes our family, and our family dislikes his family. We can't count on each other, so there's nothing to say."

"Our aunt, our second aunt, and other relatives all come and go. We visit the elders, and the relatives also let the younger ones come to visit our grandparents, parents, and so on."

"Only our little uncle and his wife just took things and didn't come to walk around."

Ji Yuanhai reminded Ji Yuanshan and said: "Brother, this divorce is not just about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Wang Jinhua's father, Wang Laoer, has been sentenced. Wang Jinhua hates our Ji family, otherwise our grandparents would not make it so easy. Just cut off the kiss."

Ji Yuanshan nodded suddenly: "Oh! And this matter—the Wang family is much more honest now."

After the Wang brothers were sentenced, the dust settled and the Wang family became more honest.

Lu Heling, the temporary accountant, refused to vote to become a regular accountant, and did not want the benefits of formal accounting to just occupy the position. The seventh uncle Ji Yaotian and Captain Ge did not object, leaving the Wang family at a loss.

"Right, one more thing."

Ji Yuanshan smiled inexplicably at Ji Yuanhai, and rarely adopted the tone of an elder brother: "Yuanhai, you have to work harder!"

Ji Yuanhai was a little strange: "Shall I work harder?"

Could it be that my elder brother knew that I was going to take the college entrance examination and encouraged me?

Where did he know this?

When Ji Yuanhai mentioned this to Lu Heling, Lu Heling was also a little puzzled.

It wasn't until two days later that grandma beamed and said something, that Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling realized that they were wrong.

It turned out that it was not about Ji Yuanhai taking the college entrance examination at all.

Apart from the seventh uncle and Liu Xianglan, no one else in Xiaoshantun knew about this matter.

Ji Yuanshan's daughter-in-law Ma Xiuping is pregnant.

No wonder Ji Yuanshan mysteriously asked Ji Yuanhai to work harder.

After grandma told Lu Heling the happy news, she took advantage of the joy and encouraged Lu Heling to get pregnant and have a baby while she was still young.

"You have to be this age to give birth to a child. You can still work in the fields after giving birth and nothing will happen."

"After this age, even if you drink brown sugar water and eat eggs for confinement, you will have a lifetime of illness! The vitality of your body just can't keep up."

"He Ling, I know you want to take the exam, but think about it, is it still a big deal to have a child in your stomach at your age?"

"There is nothing to do after giving birth, and there is really no delay at all."

Grandma's words almost convinced Lu Heling. After returning home, she discussed with Ji Yuanhai and asked him if he wanted a child.

Ji Yuanhai laughed directly: "Don't listen to these words, study hard."

"Grandma said that after giving birth, you will work in the fields, and you will also work in the fields? You have to study and prepare for the exam, think hard, and get nervous during the exam, and then you have to prepare for college. No matter how you say it, it is not suitable for pregnancy and childbirth. And raising kids."

"Let's talk about it in the past few years."

Only then did Lu Heling give up her thoughts—she was also uneasy, worried that she would always be barren, and Ji Yuanhai was persuaded by her elders.

Two days later, Ji Yuanhai went to Mr. Wang's house to take care of the flowers and plants as usual. After seeing it was as usual, he was ready to say goodbye and go home.

Mr. Wang stopped him: "Xiao Ji, don't leave, I have to settle a bill with you."
