Fengcheng old events

Chapter 45
Zhang Qinghai squatted down with a cigarette in his mouth: "You are capable, how about it? I'll help you find a home, do you want?"

Liu Zhaofeng was a little embarrassed: "Damn. I'm only too old, and the country won't let me. You're just teasing me."

Zhang Qinghai rubbed his chin, held the cigarette butt with two fingers, brought it to his mouth, and took a puff: "You're not too young, are you fifteen? There are many people who gave birth to children in the early sixteenth and seventeenth years. Your family's conditions, It's a good thing for you to get married early and live on your own. I'm not talking too much, you should think about it."

Liu Zhaofeng looked down at the pile of sand and said nothing.

Zhang Qinghai said to himself, "Fifteen is a little too small. Now the law is more lenient, and you have to get a marriage certificate. It is said to be twenty. No matter what, eighteen is about the same. What do you think? Let's get along first, don't you want to be familiar with each other? Do you want to? Uncle will help you introduce."

Liu Zhaofeng took a sip of the cigarette butt in his hand and flicked it skillfully into the river, picked up the shovel to pick up the sand: "Don't talk about it, what will my mother do when I leave? My sister is still young. It can't be done."

Zhang Qinghai said: "It's not an immediate matter. Besides, people don't know if they can fall in love with you, and you are so good at coaxing them. I just say that you are capable, down-to-earth, and good-looking. You Want to live in this small valley all your life? I said that the team is the leader of the team, don’t you think about it?”

Liu Zhaofeng put down the shovel and picked up the sieve to shake: "What leader?"

Zhang Qinghai said: "The eldest in the family is in the commune. He used to be a soldier and a serious cadre."

Liu Zhaofeng was stunned for a moment: "Armed Forces?"

Zhang Qinghai shook his head: "No, I can't remember which department is in the commune."

Liu Zhaofeng said: "I'm only fifteen, what can I do? I won't do it when I'm older, but am I going to school when I'm younger?"

Zhang Qinghai said: "His family has many children, the little girl looks like you, she should be younger than you."

Liu Zhaofeng smiled and said: "Uncle, just fool me, who can make a girl meet so early? Or a cadre's family."

Zhang Qinghai said: "Just ask, and I don't lose a piece of meat. Just in case I can do it. If you have a relative in the commune, you will be well-off, and in turn, you can help the family. That's it. I will go there someday." Ask for you, and I'll talk to you again when it's done."

Dongzi came over: "I said Lao Hai, can you cheat and play tricks and don't disturb others? Zhaofeng still has to support his family, so don't delay his work."

Zhang Qinghai took out a shabby cigarette case and took out one and threw it to Dongzi: "Director, I'm not lazy. I'm talking to Zhaofeng here."

Dongzi squatted beside Zhang Qinghai: "What's the matter? Let me listen."

Zhang Qinghai said: "I think this kid is capable, he's in command. I'm thinking of introducing him to someone else."

Dongzi looked at Liu Zhaofeng: "Are you in your teens this year? Fifteen? Are you talking about this so early?"

Liu Zhaofeng blushed, and said, "I didn't say anything, Uncle Qinghai was talking."

Zhang Qinghai said: "I have a side branch in Songshutai. There are many girls in the family. The boss is in the commune. I want to introduce it to Zhaofeng. What do you think?"

Dongzi laughed, and patted Zhang Qinghai on the shoulder: "The old Zhang family over there seems to be quite old, right? Are you looking for an ancestor for yourself?"

Zhang Qinghai nodded: "It's about the same if it's done. This is not a joke. To be honest, I have to call this girl Auntie. She is two generations older than my father. There are many people from my family, and now everyone talks about it. , I’m not that close anymore.”

Dongzi said: "After autumn, our battlefield will be moved. You should know in advance, and let me know if you quit."

Liu Zhaofeng turned his head and looked over: "Where to move?"

Dongzi said: "The other side of Fatai is on the bank of Taizi River. Look here, it's almost there, and the sand is too low."

Liu Zhaofeng nodded: "I will."

Dongzi looked at Liu Zhaofeng: "Okay, if you go there, you can ride on my broken car."

Liu Zhaofeng was a little moved, thought for a while and asked: "It's really possible? Isn't it a public one? Besides, I'm riding it. What are you riding, the director?"

Dongzi said: "I didn't give it to you, but I borrowed it from you on the field. I applied for another one, and I'm waiting for approval. I want to get a heavier one."

After lunch, the workers in the battlefield looked for places to lie down for a while, and Liu Zhaofeng crossed the river to help Zhang Qinghai catch grasshoppers.

After searching along the edge of the field for more than half an hour, I caught a grasshopper and a three-calling donkey, but I didn't bother to look for it anymore, so I put them in a grasshopper cage and brought them back, and put them next to Zhang Qinghai's things.

Grasshoppers are not easy to grasp, they have sharp eyes and quick hands, and not everyone can do it.

A few people over there were still sleeping, Liu Zhaofeng went to the river to wash, and then came back to sift the sand.

He had to pick up Liu Jinrong early in the evening, and had no time to rest and chat during the day.

After finishing today's task, I stripped myself naked and jumped into the river for a while, washed the sand off my body, put on my clothes, greeted Dongzi, the field manager, and walked into the fort.

When we arrived at the fort, we stood under the big willow tree next to the sheep pen and waited for more than ten minutes. The school ended.

Liu Jinrong ran down the slope with his schoolbag on his back: "Brother."

You can see it from the slope of the school, and she adjusted the row to be next to the window, and she has been looking at Liu Zhaofeng for a long time. "Brother, I've been transferred to the third grade."

Liu Zhaofeng was stunned for a moment: "Are you allowed to sit in the third grade? Then go to Fatai to study next year?"

Liu Jinrong nodded: "Well, next year I will be four years old. I can see Mrs. Zhang's little brother again."

Liu Zhaofeng smiled and said, "I will also go to Fatai next year, and the battlefield will be moved there. I will take you to school by bike next year."

Liu Jinrong opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Really? Can you ride a bicycle? Brother, where did you get the bicycle?"

Liu Zhaofeng said: "The field manager said to lend me." He took off his shoes and rolled up his trouser legs, holding the shoes in his hand, Liu Jinrong naturally lay on his brother's back, and the brother and sister crossed the river.

"Liu Jinrong, are you ashamed? Let your brother recite it every day. Wait until your brother grows up." The Zhong brothers came over.

"You are taller than you even if you are not tall. Why are you so annoying?" Liu Jinrong frowned and gave Zhong Laosi a look.

"I'll definitely be taller than him in the future. I'm also stronger than him. Look, I'm getting stronger." Zhong Laosi threw his schoolbag back and brightened his arms.

Liu Jinrong turned his head: "What does it have to do with me if you are strong or weak? I am in the third grade now, so I don't talk to the second graders."

Zhong Laosi blushed a little and sniffed: "What's so cool about the third grade, I can also go. My brother is still in the fifth grade."

Liu Zhaofeng put on his shoes and took Liu Jinrong's hand: "The third grade is better than you in study, so you can do it if you have the ability."

Zhong Laosi said: "Better than you, you don't want to read it anymore. When I grow up, I will definitely be better than you. What the hell?"

Liu Jinrong said: "My brother earns money, fifty cents a day. You are awesome, you are awesome, you go to be the captain, what are you arguing about?"
