Chapter 45 Congratulations
Zhao Changan's words made Li Yanqiu blush with fear.
"Wow~"
His body was so panicked that he took several steps back and retreated directly into the sweet-scented osmanthus forest.
There is a sweet-scented osmanthus tree separated by more than half of the path from Zhao Changan, which can be regarded as a psychologically safe distance.
He waved his hands to Zhao Changan and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to apologize to you!"
"Because of Fan Chao?"
Li Yanqiu did not say anything and acquiesced.
"I'm very curious. That day my grandson Yu Yingming had a fight with me. Why did you speak for me?"
Zhao Changan was really curious about this question.
I just never had the chance to ask.
In her previous life, Li Yanqiu became an associate professor at the University of California, Berkeley, when she was less than thirty years old. She had never appeared in class gatherings or class groups.
Of course, Zhao Changan didn't have any interaction with her.
Even if it weren't for the changes in this life, even if they were in the same class for two years, they wouldn't have said a word to each other.
It's just a temporary stranger.
"My dad is a plasterer. What's the point of working as a plasterer? You support the family with your own hands and eat from his family?"
Li Yanqiu solved the mystery.
"——"
Outside the grove, Fan Chao was sweating profusely and ran over without looking away.
"He doesn't deserve you."
Zhao Changan told the truth.
"I originally wanted to apologize to you, but I asked you to block the gun again."
Li Yanqiu looked not very sincere in her apology.
"Yeah, I feel like I'm at a disadvantage; why don't we hold hands as a reward?"
Zhao Changan made a serious proposal.
"Pfft~"
Li Yanqiu smiled with a red face, turned around and left directly across the forest belt from the grove.
It seemed as if he was afraid that if he returned to the path, Zhao Changan would catch his little hand.
"What are you afraid of? You won't get pregnant if you hold hands!"
Zhao Changan looked at Li Yanqiu's graceful back in the woods and muttered to himself, without any eager thoughts.
That night during self-study, as expected, Zhao Changan was called out by Lao Chang.
"Do you know why I asked you to come out?"
Lao Chang stared at Zhao Chang'an eagerly. Today, after hearing Fan Chao's small report, he was so angry that he wanted to jump.
A few days ago, rumors spread about this kid's relationship with Shan Cai from Class 1, Grade 2, and just a few days ago, he and Li Yanqiu were walking into the woods in broad daylight?
This is not bad!
"Why? It's because of your random suspicions and lack of confidence. When I see short sleeves, I immediately think of white arms, and immediately think of all--. Only at this level can the imagination of the Chinese people make such a leap."
Zhao Changan had a faint smile on his face.
Lao Chang, a combination of old literary youth and old angry youth, found this passage quoted by Zhao Changan very appealing.
Just like the last time I recited "Mourning for Qu Yuan".
Lao Chang's originally dark complexion suddenly relaxed a lot.
"I'm not saying that you are unreasonable, nor am I saying that you are justified. The college entrance examination is in two months. When the exam is over, if you really like it, pursue it openly. If we can get together, I will be your witness.
It’s all fine. But——”
Lao Chang looked at Zhao Changan seriously and said: "Now, you must stop all your thoughts and study hard. For your own sake, and also to not ruin the future of others!"
After the conversation, Zhao Changan went to the toilet.
After I came out, I saw Lao Chang riding his "broken donkey" (bicycle) and entering the doorway of the second floor in the front row.
I glanced at the electronic watch and saw that there were still about twenty minutes until get out of class ended.
Zhao Changan stood in the dark under the shade of a tree, facing the small pond and toilet, and lit a cigarette.
When he first arrived in 1998, he had many ambitions.
For example, the first step is to earn money so that parents can get rid of their current hard life as soon as possible.
However, after this month, Zhao Changan realized how difficult it was for his current position!
The only income I have earned so far is 4,300 yuan after tax.
Want to get rid of, rise up.
We must fly out of this small town first.
"Two months to go!"
Zhao Changan whispered to himself, looking up at the bright moon above his head.
——
In the days that followed, Zhao Changan went to school diligently and delivered the corrected test papers to Zeng Xiaoxiao's bedroom at night, and then got new test papers that needed to be corrected.
On the small week of May 17th, Zhao Changan finally had the opportunity to take a day off and sleep in.
But at 4 o'clock in the morning, his mother, Zhang Lishan, forcibly called me up and asked them to go to the construction site to study together.
Zhao Changan knew exactly why his mother was torturing him so much. In fact, he did have the idea of exercising well this morning.
However, it is considered useless!
"Don't blame me, your mother is going through menopause."
Zhao Shubin, who didn't understand what was going on, took advantage of Zhang Lishan to go to the toilet and explained in a low voice.
"Haha, a year's plan lies in spring, a day's plan lies in morning."
Zhao Changan smiled helplessly.
On this day at the construction site, Zhao Changan heard from Niu Mengen that Qiao San was beaten by the villagers while hunting in the Guangzhou Mountains yesterday.
"It was a terrible beating!"
Niu Meng'en smiled happily: "Do you know which village it is? Taojiagou."
Shancai's aunt Wen Fengzhi's left arm has almost recovered and has been discharged from the hospital.
In addition, the weather is getting hotter day by day, and there are more and more snakes, insects, rats, and ants from the back door of the city high school to the construction site.
Shancai has not appeared at the construction site these days.
"You are just reading in my office. Lao Tao gave me a call this morning and arranged to meet. You have a lot of skills!"
It has been more than two weeks since the last meeting at Yuejiang Tower, and Tao Longrong has not made any statement.
Moreover, according to rumors, Qiao San, including Xia Wenyang who personally went to Guangzhou, have basically finalized the cooperation details with Tao Longrong, and the tender document is also being prepared.
This made Niu Mengen feel calm.
Now, finally the clouds are cleared and the moon is revealed!
"The girl Tao Longrong was in Shancheng, is she still in Shancheng?"
This link is very critical.
Niu Meng'en was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Chang'an and said: "Chang'an, this is the difference between me, Niu Meng'en, and him, Xia Wenyang!"
Zhao Changan understood.
——
The sunshine in late May has begun to radiate heat.
After Niu Mengen left, Zhao Changan and Zhong Lianwei, who had had lunch, sat in Lao Niu's office, blowing on the air conditioner and drinking bottled Taohuashan mineral water.
When Niu Meng'en was leaving, he left a box of Huazi on the table.
Very comfortable.
"Brother An, you are unfilial!"
Zhong Lianwei sighed: "Uncles and aunts are all sitting outside."
"You are filial to your father and flirting with Cheng Zhengxiu, but you are sullen. Your father is only 50 years old this year, and he has been fasting for more than ten years."
Zhao Changan really wanted to persuade his brother: "I'm not saying that Cheng Zhengxiu is suitable, but you should also be considerate of your father's hormones, right? Haha!"
Zhong Lianwei fell silent for a while, and then said in a whisper: "Cheng Zhengxiu is Fang Yinglan's aunt."
"Ha ha!"
Zhao Changan laughed again: "Are you still thinking about Xiaofang?"
It is true that every family has a difficult scripture to recite.
——
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the construction site became busy.
Zhao Changan was reciting English when Fang Yinglan opened the door and slipped in, sticking out her red tongue: "The kitchen is too hot. Your mother went upstairs to help. I'll cool down."
"It's very welcome. You've become a country girl again these days. You have people to hang out with every day. Why do you keep yourself so low-key? Don't you want to hook up with your golden turtle husband?"
Zhao Changan put down his English book and made Fang Yinglan a cup of green tea.
"I don't want to now."
Fang Yinglan curiously pulled over Zhao Changan's English book and saw the dense English annotations on it, which was like reading a heavenly book.
Looking at Zhao Changan with admiration: "You are so awesome!"
"If you put it this way, teenagers in America and Europe are better than me. They are just preparing for the college entrance examination. For 90% of people, it is useless for future work."
Zhao Changan looked at Fang Yinglan with a smile: "Maybe you think I'm unreasonable, but with Zhong Lianwei now, I really can't guarantee anything.
If you stay in a mountain city, you will be at the bottom for the rest of your life. - I'm not looking down on the bottom, I am at the bottom now. - Maybe there will be some good changes after you leave in a few years, but you are already eighteen years old this year, and your family has probably started to
I'll give you a golden turtle husband.
How many years can you fight here?
Besides, you and Zhong Lianwei actually just have a good impression of each other. The difference is that he is deeper. If there is a handsome guy in the future who comes from a good family and is funny, don't say you won't marry him."
Then,
Zhao Changan looked at Fang Yinglan sincerely and said, "Believe me, Zhong Lianwei is far better than you think, and it's worth your gamble."
"I feel like you always want to push me towards Zhong Lianwei. If you go to college and go abroad, I will dare to bet with you."
Zhao Changan didn't understand.
It feels ‘so ambiguous’.
"Since you said that Zhong Lianwei is very outstanding, I can bet on it. Then you think you are just a little outstanding, so wouldn't I be more able to bet on it?"
Fang Yinglan asked back with a smile.
"I'm a little dizzy."
Zhao Changan told the truth.
"Don't many of you men like this and that? You're such a playboy. Why can't we women just walk all the way to the dark side when we see one and have no other choice?"
Fang Yinglan said confidently: "As long as you don't get entangled with other men after you make your final choice, you are a good woman!"
"What you say makes sense, but we are doomed to be impossible!"
Zhao Changan speaks righteously.
"Cut~"
Fang Yinglan smiled contemptuously: "It's not that you look down on me, but I mean, it's like going to the street to buy vegetables. This Chinese cabbage is so juicy and juicy, but if it's too expensive or others don't sell it, then forget it."
Fang Yinglan waved her little hand and said with great momentum: "I am beautiful, young and smart, and there is always no shortage of juicy cabbage!"
Only then did Zhao Changan discover his misunderstanding.
He adjusted his smile and looked at Fang Yinglan seriously: "Are you interested in going out to explore the world with me and Lian Wei?"
"Which city do you want to go to college in? Why did I hear Aunt Jiang Jie say that you want to take the Shancheng Agricultural College entrance examination?"
Shancheng Agricultural College is only about ten miles away from here, so go out and have a hell of a career!
"How about a small bet?"
"you say."
Fang Yinglan put her hands on the table and leaned forward.
Looking at Zhao Changan, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
I have no intention of hooking up with such a beautiful girl.
Then it's better to be your brother's woman.
It’s good for your eyes no matter what!
We all know each other so well, maybe we can get some harmless little benefits in the future, "Hey!"
Zhao Changan smiled obscenely.
"If I get a score that shocks you, you will run away with us and explore the world! Of course, you have to keep this matter a secret."
"How shocked?"
Fang Yinglan immediately became interested.
"Shocked enough to shake hands and place a deposit first!"
Zhao Changan held Fang Yinglan's little hand, feeling as proud as if he had stolen a meat bone from his brother Xiaoerha.
"Tch~, you don't have the guts to tease me anymore?"
Fang Yinglan pinched Zhao Changan's big hand hard, ran to the air conditioner, held a water cup, drank tea and turned on the air conditioner.
Zhao Changan picked up the English book and continued reading.
"Ling ring ring~"
The phone on the table rang.
Zhao Changan took a look at the caller ID. Ji Lianyun gave him a business card at Yuejiang Tower last time. He remembered this mobile phone number.
"Hey, is this Brother Ji? I'm Zhao Changan."
The person on the phone was stunned for a few seconds.
"Lao Niu's phone has no signal. I just heard that Qiao San was beaten in Zheng City?"
There was also a little excitement in Ji Lianyun's voice.
"The villagers in Taojiagou are fighting. Mr. Niu has gone to see Tao Longrong. The signal there may be poor."
"I have roughly found out who Tao Longrong's daughter is in the mountain city. I just asked someone to confirm it. Neither mother nor daughter is at home. The tap water valves and electric gates outside the house are turned off, and the two wolf dogs they raised are no longer in the yard.
"
No treachery, no business,
This is the kind of businessman who gets things done!
Chapter completed!
