Rebirth begins with marrying an educated youth

Chapter 94

"Well, it's a good thing that business can be so good."

Ji Yuanhai said: "I will take Xiaohong back today to save you from worrying."

Liu Xianglan nodded in agreement.

Ji Yuanhai asked again: "When are you going back? From New Year's Eve to the second day of the lunar new year, there are not many businesses in the county. Why don't you go back these few days."

Liu Xianglan was a little reluctant to give up: "Those flowers are quite expensive. What should I do if they freeze?"

"If you don't delay things for two or three days, even if you get frostbite, I'll find a way to save him later." Ji Yuanhai said.

Liu Xianglan hesitated for a moment, and considering that there was indeed no business in those two days, she nodded: "Okay, I will go back to Xiaoshantun on the day I am thirty; if any flowers and plants are really frozen, Yuan Hai, you have to save them, don't lose anything." so much money."

After talking about this matter, another business came to the door, and Liu Xianglan started to get busy.

Ji Yuanhai picked up a pot of orchids from the house, wrapped them in thick clothes, greeted Liu Xianglan, and walked towards the county family courtyard.

On the way, I bought two snacks and fruits and two bottles of wine.

Today I simply left some of the New Year's etiquette.

When we arrived at the gate of the county family courtyard, we saw Uncle Zhao selling roasted sweet potatoes in a car from a distance. Ji Yuanhai smiled and passed him a snack and a bottle of wine: "Happy New Year, sir! I'll give you an early New Year greeting! "

Uncle Zhao glared at him: "You are such a picky kid. You are just like you. Do I still do business?"

Ji Yuanhai laughed and said: "You are all like me, so you can support us. Isn't it good?"

"Very good, very good!"

After all, Uncle Zhao took Ji Yuanhai's New Year's greeting gift, took out the biggest roasted sweet potato and handed it to Ji Yuanhai.

Ji Yuanhai quickly waved his hand: "It's too big, I don't like this either?"

"Nonsense, who doesn't like roasted sweet potatoes?" Uncle Zhao stared and pushed the roasted sweet potatoes forward.

"That's too big, can you change it to a smaller one?" Ji Yuanhai said.

Uncle Zhao smiled: "You kid, you have a lot to do!"

In the end, he listened to Ji Yuanhai and gave him a small sweet potato.

Ji Yuanhai ate sweet potatoes, chatted with him, and asked how the business was.

Then he went to the gatekeeper of the family courtyard and gave Uncle Dong wine and snacks.

Uncle Dong also gave in to him for a while, and finally accepted.

Seeing that he was holding a basin of something, he asked, "Is this for..."

"Flowers for Mr. Wang, he likes this."

After Ji Yuanhai said hello, he entered the family courtyard with flowers in his arms.

Uncle Dong shook his head: What's the use of something that can't be eaten or drunk?People still like this.

After entering Wang's house, the nanny Aunt Wu greeted her at the door, but neither Mr. Wang nor Grandma Yuan came out to speak.

Ji Yuanhai walked into the house and saw Mr. Wang, Grandma Yuan, and Wang Wenbo.

The house is very warm, which can meet the needs of Mr. Wang's flowers and plants, as well as the heat preservation needs of the old couple - people are old and weak, and it is difficult to keep warm, and it is cold to cover two quilts in winter.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the room was not warm at all, it was even freezing cold.

"Get Xiaoyun back for me!" Mr. Wang shouted.

"Dad, I really don't need to look for it—during the summer vacation this year, she ran out once when I was angry with me. At that time, Wen Li and I were so frightened that we couldn't take care of Zhuqing, so we went to look for her." Wang Wenbo said, "As a result, she I live with a classmate from high school."

"You just asked me to look for it, so what if I look for it? This kid has a bad temper, and he is against me. I just found it, that is, let her classmate's family see a joke."

Mr. Wang slapped the table and shouted: "You must find it for me! Find Xiaoyun for me!"

"It's cold, it's Chinese New Year! You let the child outside alone?"

"Can she celebrate the New Year with her classmates and their families? Wang Wenbo, you bastard, if you don't get my granddaughter back, I'm not done with you!"

Ji Yuanhai hugged the orchid and listened from the side.

The matter sounds very simple. Mr. Wang's granddaughter Wang Zhuyun was on winter vacation for the Chinese New Year, and her relationship with Wang Wenbo and his daughter was not very good. This led to the current situation, and she was so angry that she came to live in a classmate's house.

Then Mr. Wang was worried, and Wang Wenbo felt that he couldn't bow his head and talk softly to his daughter, so he didn't look for her at all.

So it became like this.

Whether it is out of emotional standpoint or rational analysis, Ji Yuanhai is on the side of Mr. Wang and Wang Zhuyun——Mr. Wang helped him when he needed help the most, and Wang Zhuyun gave him a bicycle as a gift. Hai didn't feel that Wang Zhuyun was a girl with a bad temper. Wang Wenbo's accusations were obviously only from his own perspective.

Ji Yuanhai didn't know much about Wang Wenbo. He only had a general impression of what Mr. Wang said, about [-] to [-]% of the content. He already knew that he had been a person who was eager for success and pursuing interests in the past ten years. What is he demanding now? good reputation.

To put it simply, his interest standards are quite high, but his true moral standards are hard to say.

Now during the Chinese New Year, Wang Zhuyun ran away in anger, but he could really resist not looking for her.

Just because there was a similar situation during the summer vacation.

Summer and winter are completely different situations, not to mention that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and most families will not be happy to entertain guests.

Mr. Wang was furious, and Wang Wenbo tried to "explain" as much as possible. At the same time, he also told Mr. Wang that Wang Zhuyun would be fine, but he had a bad temper and ran out.

Although the father and son did not quarrel, Mr. Wang asked him to find Wang Zhuyun, but he refused to do it. The angry Mr. Wang gradually became arrogant and could no longer keep calm.

"Is it because Xiaoyun has a bad temper, or do you and Li Wenli dislike Xiaoyun?"

"You only have your own son in your eyes now, right?"

Wang Wenbo stood up: "Dad, your words are really unfair to Wenli and Zhuqing."

"Wen Li has been married to me for ten years, and Zhu Qing is also your grandson, who is six years old this year."

"How can we have any bias? I ask my family to be frugal and not show off. Wenli fully supports me, but Xiaoyun doesn't understand my difficulties at all -"

"Yes, yes!" Mr. Wang sneered, "Xiaoyun is against you, and I am against you! You have to realize it clearly. Both of us are bad people, and the people around you are the good people!"

Wang Wenbo shook his head: "Dad...you...forget it, I won't tell you anymore, I have something to do, so I'll go back first!"

"Stop, come back! Xiaoyun, you must come back to me!"

In Mr. Wang's roar, Wang Wenbo didn't seem to hear it, and walked away.

"Old Wang, you are smooth."

Ji Yuanhai put down the flower pot in his hand and said.

Mr. Wang nodded wearily to him as a greeting.

Grandma Yuan sighed and said, "Xiao Ji, I've made you laugh again...these things in the house can't be kept clean."

Ji Yuanhai quickly comforted the two old men.

After Mr. Wang was relieved, Ji Yuanhai asked Wang Zhuyun why he didn't come to Mr. Wang since he was not at home because of his anger.No matter what, it's much more comfortable here than outside.

"His father can be found, but she won't come..." Grandma Yuan said, "She has been here before, but when his father comes, what can we do? We can only talk to his father and persuade her. Let his father take her away."

"She stopped coming to us after that."

Speaking of this, Grandma Yuan couldn't help wiping away tears, obviously feeling very sorry for Wang Zhuyun.

Mr. Wang angrily cursed Wang Wenbo, and finally had no choice but to say, "If it really doesn't work, I asked Xiao Wu to get on his bicycle and help him look for it. There are only a few days left for the Chinese New Year, how can we let our children be homeless like this?" "

Ji Yuanhai said: "Don't worry, Aunt Wu is already fifty, so asking her to go out to look for her in this cold weather is not an option."

"Tell me the approximate range. I'll go and look for it by bicycle."

"Xiao Ji, how can that be done? It's too troublesome for you, you are a guest after all." Mr. Wang said embarrassedly.

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said, "Why not?"

"Mr. Wang, let's not talk about our friendship. Classmate Wang lent me books for me to review. I have to accept this matter."

"How can I not help her when she has something going on?"

Mr. Wang hesitated for a moment: "Then...Xiao Ji, please go to Tuanjie Alley to look for it."

"I remember Zhuyun said that she has a female classmate who is the daughter of an employee of the county cotton mill, and she probably lives on the other side of Tuanjie Alley."

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "[-]% is the Tuanjie Alley. Most of the iron rice bowl workers in Qingshan County live in that alley."

"Mr. Wang, I'm going right now."

"The orchids I brought you, check to see if they are in good condition, but don't freeze to death!"

After Ji Yuanhai finished speaking, he got on his bicycle and left in a hurry.

After he left, Grandma Yuan wiped her eyes again: "This child is so good, just like Wenbo when he was young and obedient..."

"Don't mention that bastard to me!" Mr. Wang said angrily, "Xiao Ji is ten times better than him, a hundred times better!"

"Anyway, Xiao Ji is a good boy. He has had a hard time in the countryside. We must help in the future." Grandma Yuan said, "It's a pity that Wenbo is not a few years ago, otherwise we will get him a unit." It’s still possible to work.”

Mr. Wang shook his head and said: "There is no need. Xiao Ji's cultural level is not bad. He is going to university in an upright manner and has a bright future."

"It's not a good thing to make random arrangements for him in advance."

"Besides, he still misses the care we gave him, and always wants to return our favors—this kid doesn't want to owe others anything, and we can arrange it for him, and he can't accept it."

As he spoke, he opened the clothes covering the flowers, and Mr. Wang was suddenly stunned.

I looked around the flowerpot carefully, even felt the touch of the branches and leaves, the soil with my hands, and finally murmured: "This Xiao Ji, this Xiao Ji... I knew it..."

"What's wrong?" Grandma Yuan asked.

"This is Long Changsu! Long Changsu was praised by the national leaders! It looks great!" Mr. Wang said.

Grandma Yuan still didn’t quite understand: “This means…”

"This pot of top-notch orchids, we have actually repaid the care we gave Xiaoji before." Mr. Wang said, "Today Xiaoji helped us find Xiaoyun again..."

"From now on, it's not that we help Xiao Ji, but that we owe Xiao Ji a favor and we have to repay his favor."

After hearing this, Grandma Yuan also sighed with emotion: "This Xiao Ji is too polite."

"Obviously we all took what we needed before, and it was normal for him to treat flowers and plants, but he kept saying that he accepted our favor and help."

"Maybe, at that time, he was really short of a sum of money, and we just gave it to him." Mr. Wang said, "In short, from now on, we owe him something, so we can't ask him to be polite. went!"

After speaking, he glanced at Longchang Sulanhua, and Mr. Wang looked outside again.

I'm not in the mood to enjoy flowers now.

The favor owed to Xiao Ji, and making up for it in the future, is also the second.

Xiaoyun must not get into trouble.

................................................

After riding his bicycle out of the family courtyard, saying hello to Uncle Zhao, Ji Yuanhai went straight to Tuanjie Alley.

Based on Wang Zhuyun's situation, there are not many other places he can go in Qingshan County except the Family Courtyard, which is Tuanjie Alley.

Her classmate's family is slightly poorer, and it is impossible to provide food and accommodation for her classmate for a period of time.

At least the family must be a formal employee.

Even so, now that the New Year is approaching, there is really no guarantee that Wang Zhuyun will be kept.

When they arrived at Tuanjie Alley, Ji Yuanhai asked where the cotton mill workers lived.

Then ask if there is a college student admitted to university.

As a result, it is impossible to find out at this point-no one has ever heard that the sons and daughters of workers in cotton mills have college students.

Could it be that Wang Zhuyun was looking for a high school classmate, but he didn't get into college?

This is not easy to inquire about.

Ji Yuanhai asked for a while. Every household was busy celebrating the New Year, and not many were willing to stop and talk properly.

Until an old man saw him: "Are you still helping with the flowers and plants? Go to my house to see!"

Ji Yuanhai turned his head and saw that it was the beginning of autumn, when he came to Tuanjie Lane to look at flowers and plants to earn two yuan, that Uncle Li.

Uncle Li bought a pot of welcoming pine, but Gao Daming failed to raise it properly and replaced it with unsuitable soil for some reason.

It was after Ji Yuanhai found out the reason that Uncle Li replaced the soil on the welcoming pine tree himself.

Ji Yuanhai's impression of Uncle Li was that he had a weird temper, but he wasn't mean-spirited.

"Uncle, I'm not here to see flowers and plants today, I'm here to see people!"

Uncle Li was a little disappointed: "Ah? Looking for someone?"

"Who are you looking for, tell me, I know everyone here."

Ji Yuanhai gave the general situation of Wang Zhuyun, and Uncle Li muttered: "A female college student, in her early twenties, with two short braids, came to borrow from a classmate's house..."

"Why don't I have any impression? Is this girl handsome?"

"Very handsome." Ji Yuanhai said.

"Yesterday evening, there was such a girl who walked out of our Tuanjie Alley. Her luggage bag was not the same as the usual ones. It didn't have two short braids, and she still wore black glasses around her neck."

"The clothes are also different from ours."

"I thought it was a foreigner, but after a closer look, I found out that it was a Chinese."

Uncle Li described.

Ji Yuanhai was a little uncertain—is this Wang Zhuyun?
"Uncle, can you tell me the general situation?"

Uncle Li said that the woman with the luggage bag and the black glasses had indeed come from a cotton spinning factory.

The daughter of that family used to go to high school, but she failed the college entrance examination this year, and she is not going to take the exam next year. During the Chinese New Year, she is planning to go on a blind date and marry a successor worker.

"You are really familiar with this place! You know it like the back of your hand!" Ji Yuanhai gave a thumbs up and praised Uncle Li.

Uncle Li laughed and said a few words of modesty.

Ji Yuanhai has basically determined that the person described by Uncle Li is Wang Zhuyun.

Although I don't know why her image has changed so much, but thinking about it carefully, she is now ready to go, and she is a college student in the provincial capital. It is not surprising that her image change is at the forefront of the trend.

When I asked Uncle Li about Wang Zhuyun's whereabouts, Uncle Li didn't know. He only knew that she left Tuanjie Alley last night.

Ji Yuanhai then asked for the address of the cotton spinning factory and knocked on the door to ask.

That family had obviously given up the idea of ​​letting their daughter study, and they didn't know much about Wang Zhuyun's family situation, so they were a little upset when Ji Yuanhai asked about Wang Zhuyun.

"I don't know, I left yesterday!"

In extraordinary times, it is inevitable to do something extraordinary. Ji Yuanhai immediately mentioned Wang Zhuyun's father's name and asked his family to recall the details.

At this time, the whole family was frightened.

"She never said that she is the daughter of the leader of the county. If she had known earlier, it was too late for our family to welcome her. How could she be driven out?"

The family said aggrievedly.

Wang Zhuyun's classmate also said: "Zhuyun kept telling me that her father was a worker in the county. I really didn't know she had such a family."

"Stop talking about all this! Wang Zhuyun didn't say who to go to next?" Ji Yuanhai directly interrupted their sighs.

"Well, I really don't know." Wang Zhuyun's classmate said, "That's what she told me at the time. She said she came to stay with me for a few days. Since it's not convenient for me, she went home."

"Then tell me, where might she go?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

Wang Zhuyun's classmates were a little confused: "I couldn't have guessed this..."

"Tell me a few places, the places she liked to go to in the county, and the places she might go when she was in a bad mood." Ji Yuanhai inquired.

Wang Zhuyun's classmate was forced to think about it for a long time, and even told him where he liked to go to school when he was in school.

He also told the address of another classmate where Wang Zhuyun might stay.

After seeing her, Ji Yuanhai couldn't think of anything more, so he got on his bicycle and left in a hurry.

When I asked another classmate's address, Wang Zhuyun had never been there.

I went to a few places where Wang Zhuyun used to go, but I didn't go there either.

Ji Yuanhai knew that things might get a little worse.

Wouldn't Wang Zhuyun choose to spend the night alone?

In such a cold day, there are so many unscrupulous elements who steal at the end of the year. If she chooses to do so in a fit of anger, it will be really bad.

With such worries, Ji Yuanhai went to the last place.

Qingshan County High School when Wang Zhuyun was in school.

After asking the doorman, Wang Zhuyun did pass by here in the morning carrying his luggage bag.

Later, I took a detour to the mountain behind the school.

Ji Yuanhai breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that nothing happened from yesterday evening to this morning.

As for going up the back mountain...it shouldn't be anything bad, right?
