Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 26 Night Talk
Just when they went to find Song Li, the little girl's dinner was also ready.

The two brothers and sister each scooped up a bowl of rice and sat on the threshold of the main room to eat.

After the two of them finished their meal, the eldest aunt found Song Li.

The eldest aunt's face didn't look good.

He looked a little angry.

However, Song Li followed behind her with a nonchalant expression, eating melon seeds as she walked.

There didn't seem to be any rush.

She didn't panic because her partner had arrived.

Song Chaoyang knew that the reason why Song Li was like this was because her heart was no longer with the postman, so she acted indifferently.

Now she may have begun to dream of being a city dweller.

When Song Li returned home, the next door started to get lively.

Today, Song Li's date came to visit, and her uncle's family, as well as her grandparents, were very enthusiastic.

Here, Song Chaoyang, his father, his mother, and his second brother had just returned from work outside, and Mrs. Jia came over to call for help.

The person with the best cooking skills in the family is Xu Cuiping.

The third aunt was supposed to be cooking today.

But tonight she had to entertain distinguished guests, so Mrs. Jia decided to let her take over for the day.

The uncle even happily took out the wine he usually drank, wanting to entertain his future son-in-law.

They were all so enthusiastic, but Song Li, the person involved, looked distracted.

I didn't even feel like saying a few words to the young man.

She took the melon seeds she got from the educated youth spot and ate them endlessly.

Her partner was a little confused, and she didn't know what she had done wrong to make her unhappy.

This young man is an honest person and always wants to find problems in himself.

The more Song Li behaves like this, the more she feels that there must be something wrong with her.

In addition, the eldest aunt showed great enthusiasm, which made the young man not feel too left out.

But of course these performances cannot be hidden from others. The second brother Song Chaodong, who has been watching from the side, has already noticed that something is wrong.

After dinner, I came back to chat and talked about these things with Song Chaoyang.

But this was just a casual chat at home. As for how Song Li and the others would develop, Song Chaodong had no interest at all.

Instead, he was concerned about Song Chaoyang's failed blind date today.

During lunch, he had already heard what his parents said. This was the first time he heard that a girl disliked a handsome man.

I'm afraid that my brother will be hit hard by this incident.

Song Chaodong comforted Song Chaoyang for half an hour.

Keep saying that this kind of thing is definitely not common, so Song Chaoyang can relax. Being close is definitely a man's advantage.

It can be seen that Song Chaodong is really afraid that Song Chaoyang will be hit because of this incident.

But little did he know that Song Chaoyang was still eager to be on a blind date.

After a while, the sky got dark and there were more and more mosquitoes in front of the house.

Song Chaoyang was so bitten that he couldn't bear it, so he prepared to sleep.

What made him a little strange was that in the premonition dream, Mrs. Jia should find that her small vault had been stolen.

I don’t know why, but there wasn’t any fuss at the moment.

Song Chaoyang just thought that the old lady hadn't checked it out yet, and she would probably start a fuss when she checked it out later.

He didn't care about that much and was going to wash up and go to bed until the trouble started.

But at this moment, the uncle came over with Song Li.

He said he planned to arrange for the young man to sleep at Song Chaoyang's house that night.

Because there are rules in the countryside, two people who are not married cannot sleep under the same roof.

So they thought about it and decided to send people to Song Chaoyang and the others. The uncle would definitely not talk to Song Chaoyang about this matter, he would talk to Song Chaoyang's father.

Song Shouyi did not refuse and immediately agreed.

The last time Song Chaoyang and Song Shoujin had a conflict, he didn't know what reason to find to ease the relationship between the two parties. Now that the other party took the initiative to ask for help, he felt that this was a very good opportunity.

The uncle took people to look around the room, and then selected Song Chaoyang's bed.

He immediately asked Song Chaoyang to step aside so that his future son-in-law could sleep alone.

Obviously, the uncle did not want to take this opportunity to ease the relationship, but wanted to take this opportunity to deliberately disgust Song Chaoyang.

In the end, the young man spoke up and said:
"It's okay. This bed is quite big. Brother Chaoyang and I are not fat, so we won't be crowded if we sleep together."

After the uncle heard this, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he agreed.

But it didn't disgust Song Chaoyang, but he still felt a little unhappy.

When he left, he curled his lips, feeling that the future son-in-law's ideological education had not yet caught up with his future father-in-law.

After the uncle left, Song Chaoyang got some water for the young man to wash up, and then the two of them prepared to go to bed to rest.

After getting into bed, the young man didn't seem to be sleepy, but started chatting with Song Chaoyang.

Song Chaoyang originally didn't want to chat with him, but since the other party wanted to chat, he had no choice but to talk to him.

After chatting for a while, Song Chaoyang learned that this young man's name was Wei Hongbing. He was 22 this year. His father was a martyr, and the leader of the post and telecommunications office in the commune was his father's comrade-in-arms.

His current job was arranged by his father's comrades.

There is an old woman and a younger sister at home, and they both live in the family building of the post office.

Because Wei Hongbing was at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, he knew a lot of new things outside and current policies. He was just looking for a random topic to chat about, but he didn't expect that Song Chaoyang's views were quite unique.

Even while chatting, it became that Song Chaoyang was explaining the policy.

Because Song Chaoyang could always tell the meaning behind things to the point, and even directly stated his judgment of the subsequent trend and the reasons, Wei Hongbing was stunned for a moment.

Wei Hongbing felt that he had listened to a lot of chats from leaders and felt that he was quite knowledgeable, but what he heard from Song Chaoyang today seemed to have suddenly opened the door to a new world.

The more I listened, the more energetic I became, and the more we kissed, the more excited I became, and I even wanted to take out a notebook and write it down.

It suddenly made him feel like he was not chatting, but like listening to a lecture.

Everything Song Chaoyang said was well-founded, and Wei Hongbing felt that the policies he had not understood before suddenly became clear.

"Brother Chaoyang, you are really amazing. I would say you really should go to the commune and become a cadre."

"I feel that we at the grassroots level need people like you." Wei Hongbing finally couldn't help but suggested to Song Chaoyang.

It was the first time that he admired someone so much.

Song Chaoyang was just casually talking about his opinions based on the information in some history books in his previous life. He didn't dare to say anything in-depth. He didn't expect to talk so superficially, and Wei Hongbing had the same reaction.

So he hurriedly said to Wei Hongbing:
"I'm talking nonsense, but I can't take it seriously. We are just chatting, so don't get excited."

"What I want most now is to buy a homestead, build a few red-brick houses, raise pigs and chickens, go to school after leaving work and prepare to take the college entrance examination next year, and then wait until the spring breeze of reform and opening up comes to us. Only then did I have the capital to stand on that front.”

Wei Hongbing was a little surprised to hear that Song Chaoyang actually wanted to take the college entrance examination.

But thinking that all the brothers in Song Li's family had passed the exam, Song Chaoyang might also be able to take the exam.

Song Chaoyang didn't know what Wei Hongbing was thinking. He paused and continued:
"I like money, but I don't have the ability to be a corrupt official."

"So I'm not good at being an official."

"But the roots are growing red, so it's okay to climb up."

Wei Hongbing did not pretend to be polite to Song Chaoyang, and did not hide his thoughts at all. He said:
"I would like to make progress, but I don't have your political vision... If I had your political vision, I would definitely work hard."

When Song Chaoyang heard this, he smiled and shook his head and said:
"It doesn't matter whether you have political vision or not. With the connections your father left behind, your future achievements will definitely be high."

After Wei Hongbing heard this, his eyes lit up in the darkness.

He showed a thoughtful expression.

Then he cheerfully said to Song Chaoyang:
"Haha, let me lend you some good words."

Having said this, Song Chaoyang added:
"But if you want to make progress, you can't marry my cousin."

Wei Hongbing was startled and said in surprise:
"Ah? Why?"
