Siheyuan: Start with a big car

In the courtyard cellar.

Li Weidong looked at the neatly stacked radishes and cabbages around him, feeling deeply moved.

Back then, he often exchanged ideas with Qin Huairu here.

Only later, as he became the director of the poverty alleviation workshop, he had a separate studio in the rolling mill.

The cellar was dark and cold, and there was no comfortable bed in the studio. Besides, it was interesting to discredit where the lights were on, so I shifted the position to the studio.

I thought I would never use this cellar again in my life.

Unexpectedly, it took only a few days.

"I wasted time just now. Mrs. Jia Zhang should be hungry by now. Brother Wei Dong, I have to go back and feed Mrs. Jia first."

Jia Taohua put on her clothes and was about to go out in a hurry.

But Li Weidong stopped him.

"Wait, there's news about your going to school."

"Really? So fast?" Jia Taohua turned her head. Although she couldn't see her face in the dark, the trembling from her little hands couldn't be faked.

Li Weidong said with a smile: "Of course, I talked to the dean of Rolling Mill High School this morning. It is a bit troublesome for you to go to school, because firstly, you are relatively old and have passed the age of high school. Secondly, You are from a commune, and the rolling mill high school only recruits the children of rolling mill employees."

Hearing this, Jia Taohua lost her spirits, and said disappointedly: "Brother Weidong, if it doesn't work, then forget it. Studying at my age is just wishful thinking."

Li Weidong chuckled: "Don't worry, just listen to me. Although it's a bit difficult, it's not impossible. Your father seems to be the captain of the production team, isn't he?"

"Well, my father can talk in the commune." Jia Taohua nodded.

"The commune is qualified to recommend students to go to school."

Jia Taohua also knew about this policy, but a policy is a policy. There are so many communes in the suburbs of the capital, and the quota is very limited. Jiajiazhuang has not been allocated a quota for several years.

However, she was not in a hurry to speak, because Li Weidong must have grasped this idea when he proposed it.

really.

Li Weidong went on to say: "I can walk around the relationship between the rolling mill and ask the rolling mill to specially assign you a high school quota for your commune. You let your father prepare well. If you win this quota, you can go to the rolling mill high school smoothly." gone."

Hearing this, Jia Taohua suddenly became excited.

As long as she has a place, she can realize her dream of going to school.

"Bah"

Jia Taohua gnawed on Li Weidong's face and said excitedly, "Brother Weidong, thank you so much."

Jia Taohua knew that it must have taken a lot of effort for Li Weidong to get the rolling mill to offer a special quota.

Since the college entrance examination is two months away, if Jia Taohua is not sent to high school as soon as possible, she will not be able to catch up with the college entrance examination.

Li Weidong didn't delay things. After leaving the cellar, he went to the rolling mill and found a director of the planning department.

Every year, the rolling mill distributes places to the surrounding communes to show their support for the communes.

It doesn't matter which commune the quota is allocated to, so the director of the planning department agreed without hesitation.

Soon, a letter sent from the rolling mill was sent to the Jiajia Village Commune by the postman.

the other side.

After Jia Taohua came out of the cellar, she found Qin Huairu and expressed that she wanted to take half a day off.

"Sister Huairu, I'm a little homesick and want to go back and have a look."

Today is the weekend, Qin Huairu happened to have no work, and she didn't need to go to work in the rolling mill, so she agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of Mrs. Jia and Zhang today, and you can come back tomorrow."

In order to make it easier for Jia Taohua to go home, Qin Huairu specially spent [-] cents to borrow a bicycle from Yan Bugui's house for Jia Taohua.

When Jia Taohua returned to Jiajiazhuang on her bicycle.

It was almost noon at this time, Jia Shan finished his work, walked in from the outside with a hoe on his shoulder, and was a little surprised to see Jia Taohua appearing at the door.

"Taohua, why are you back? Shouldn't you be taking care of Jia Zhang in the city?"

"Father, I'm back for something important."

Hearing the big news, Jia Shan frowned: "Taohua, you didn't cause trouble in the capital, did you?"

"Father, what are you thinking! It's a good thing."

Jia Taohua dragged Jia Shan into the room and told him about going to school.

Hearing that there are noble people in the capital who are willing to help Jia Taohua go to school, Jia Shan stood up excitedly.

He knew what his daughter wanted, but the family was really poor at the time, and when the old man fell ill and needed money for medical treatment, Jia Taohua had no choice but to drop out of school.

This is the regret of Jia Shan's life.

Knowing that there was such an opportunity, Jia Shan agreed without hesitation.

"Girl, don't worry, I'll go to the commune to talk to the leader about it now, as soon as the quota there is up, you can go to school right away."

"Brother Weidong said that the quota can be sent to our commune today." Jia Taohua said with some concern: "I heard that Yuan Datou in the commune is not a good guy, he won't make things difficult for us, will he?"

Yuan Datou is Yuan Dabao's father. He got this nickname because of his relatively large head, so that people in the commune have long forgotten Yuan Datou's real name.

Even if the leaders of the town came to inspect the commune, they would always call him "Yuan Datou".

Jia Shan waved his hand disapprovingly: "It's okay, according to the rules of our commune, whoever gets down from the quota quota will go to that person, and I dare not break the rules if I take advantage of it."

After Jia Shan finished speaking, he took two sips of water from the enamel jar and was about to go to the commune.

"Father, get on your bicycle." Jia Taohua pointed at the bicycle and said.

Jia Shan waved his hand: "Don't, this thing is too expensive, if it gets bumped, we can't afford it."

"You wait at home for a while, your mother has gone to help Aunt Zhang next door, and she will come back to help you cook later."

"Good Le!"

Jia Shan trotted all the way to the commune and told Yuan Datou about the high school quota in the rolling mill.

After Yuan Datou finished listening, he patted his chest and promised on the spot: "Brother, don't worry, I watched Taohua grow up. This matter is related to Taohua's future. When the quota for the rolling mill comes, I will definitely give it to you personally." Send the peach blossoms."

Although Yuan Datou is not a thing, he is still good in front of Jia Shan on weekdays. Jia Shan is very prestigious in the village, and he dare not offend Jia Shan.

Therefore, Jia Shan went home without thinking too much.

Although Jia Taohua is an adult, she has never traveled far. Jia's mother has not seen her daughter for a while, and she is so excited that she can't close her mouth.

She deliberately took out two eggs that had been praised for a long time, and made a bowl of egg noodles for Jia Taohua.

After dinner, Jia Taohua thought about getting the quota before returning to the capital, so she stayed in Jiajiazhuang, chatting with her parents while waiting for news from Yuan Datou.

At this time, Yuan Datou had already received the letter from the postman.

Looking at the big characters of the rolling mill on the envelope, Yuan Datou clicked his tongue twice: "It is said that there are people in the DPRK who are good at handling things. I am convinced. Such an important quota will be sent as soon as it is said to be sent. I don't know Jiashan this time It is through which leader's door."

It happened that Yuan Dabao came to call Yuan Datou for dinner, and he heard this when he pushed away from the office.

He stepped forward and asked curiously, "Father, what quota?"

"It's Jia Taohua. That girl is going to the rolling mill to go to high school. Maybe she can go to college in the future."

"What? Taohua is going to high school? She's a rural girl, and she just graduated from elementary school. How can she go to Beijing to study in high school?"

"Why don't you say that he has the ability! Take a look, this is a letter from the rolling mill in Beijing. They have specially approved Jia Taohua to go to school."

Yuan Datou handed the letter to Yuan Dabao.

After Yuan Dabao read the letter, his face changed drastically.

"No, no, I can't let Jia Taohua go to high school, otherwise, she won't be able to be my wife."

Yuan Datou is actually very satisfied with Jia Taohua, this girl looks outstanding, she behaves very well, and no one around her does not praise her.

If he became Yuan Dabao's wife, Yuan Dabao might be able to correct his lazy personality.

but.

This quota was sent by the rolling mill, even if he was the leader of the commune, he couldn't stop it.

"Dabao, you and Jia Taohua have nothing to do with each other, so let's forget it."

"No, Dad, I will never marry if I have a peach blossom in my life."

"But, this thing is given by the above."

"So what about the ones given by the above?!" Yuan Dabao had a grim expression on his face, and sneered, "The letter only said that Comrade Jia Taohua should go to the Rolling Mill High School to report, and it didn't specify that Jia Shanjia's Jia Taohua was Jia Shanjia. My sister Yuan Lotus, you can also change its name to Jia Taohua!"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Datou was stunned.

This is Li Daitao stiff, Yuan Datou subconsciously wanted to reject Yuan Dabao, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this matter was capable.

Just as Yuan Dabao analyzed, the letter indeed asked Jia Taohua to report for duty, but it did not specify which Jia Taohua it was.

Her daughter, Yuan Hehua, was the same age as Jia Taohua, both this year, and she graduated from junior high school. She stayed in the commune as a correspondent only because she failed to pass the high school entrance examination.

Yuan Hehua replaced Jia Taohua to study in the rolling mill high school. Even if she fails to enter university in the future and gets a high school diploma, she has a great chance of staying in the rolling mill.

The Rolling Mill High School is a school for the children of the Rolling Mill, and there must be many sons of the leaders of the Rolling Mill. If they get to know each other, it is not impossible for Yuan Hehua to marry in the city in the future with Yuan Hehua's beauty.

Then he, Yuan Dabao, would be the father-in-law of the people in the city, and no one would dare to make irresponsible remarks to him in the Jiajiazhuang Commune from now on.

As for whether he was discovered, Yuan Dabao was not worried.

He knew that Jia Shan had relatives in the city, and this indicator must have come from Jia Shan's relatives, and it was not a formal indicator. Even if Yuan Hehua was exposed, the other party would not dare to say anything more in order to calm things down.

Also.

Jia Taohua has no way to go to the city to study, so she can only stay in Jiajiazhuang obediently and marry his son Yuan Dabao.

It's a win-win thing.

A win-win is Yuan Datou winning twice.

"Okay, Dabao, your idea is very good, let's do this!"

Yuan Datou is a courageous person, who has always believed in the principle of seeking wealth and risk.

After deciding to send his daughter Yuan Hehua to the city, he immediately went through the relevant procedures.

From then on, the world lost a girl named Yuan Hehua and added Jia Taohua.

And this time.

Jia Taohua is still waiting for news at home.

When it was dark, there was no news from the commune.

Jia Taohua couldn't sit still, and hurriedly urged Jia Shan to go to the commune to inquire about the situation.

When Jia Shan came to the commune, Yuan Datou told Jia Shan that there was no letter from the capital at all today.

"Brother Jia, I can understand your feelings, but don't worry about this kind of thing. Maybe the letter will arrive in a few days."

"Don't worry, when it arrives, I promise to send you home as soon as possible."

Seeing Yuan Datou being so sincere, Jia Shan didn't think much, thanked him, and went home.

When Jia Taohua heard the news, she had no choice but to take care of Jia Zhang, so she smeared and returned to the capital.

Back in the courtyard, Qin Huairu was anxious for a long time, but he didn't complain about Jia Taohua.

"I just fed Jia Zhang's food and drank water. You can just leave her alone."

Seeing Jia Taohua's dusty appearance, Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Later, you will boil a pot of hot water and wash it well. People in the city love to be clean."

"Good."

Jia Taohua got Qin Huairu's reminder, boiled hot water, and took a bath.

Unknowingly, the time came to more than ten o'clock in the evening.

Jia Taohua glanced into the backyard and saw that Li Weidong hadn't come back yet.

Ready to go back home and sleep.

As soon as he walked to the gate of Crescent Moon, he saw Li Weidong coming in from the outside, humming a ditty with his hands behind his back.

Jia Taohua put down the basin, cupped her hands to her mouth, and meowed twice.

This is the code that Li Weidong promised her. If you want to meet, learn this code.

Li Weidong invited the director of the Rolling Mill High School to drink at the tavern tonight, and it was already finalized on the wine table. As long as Jia Taohua reported to the school, he would immediately help Jia Taohua go through the formalities.

After Li Weidong came back, he was going to tell Jia Taohua the good news, but when he heard the cat meowing, he looked left and right to see if there was no one, and then he ducked into the cellar.

"Peach Blossom, you are really fragrant."

"I just took a shower and used soap."

This is the first time Jia Taohua has used soap, and she thinks that people in the city will really enjoy it.

"I've already told the other side that you can report to Rolling Mills High School tomorrow."

"What?" Jia Taohua was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "Brother Weidong, I haven't received a quota yet."

When Li Weidong heard this, he frowned: "What's going on? I personally sent out your quota, and I even made an urgent request for it. The distance from the rolling mill to your commune is only a few dozen miles away. , according to the time calculation, it must have been delivered."

"Could it be something went wrong?" Jia Taohua also frowned.

"Don't worry, I'll find out when I go to work tomorrow and talk to Section Chief Zhang in the planning department."

Li Weidong sniffed the fragrance of her body, and became a little distracted.

The night was quiet.

Occasionally, there were cat meows in the grass.

Early the next morning.

After Li Weidong woke up, he felt a little tired.

Come to think of it, too much loss these days.

Yu Li has already prepared the meal.

"Brother Weidong, my mother is not feeling well these two days, I have to go back and take care of her."

Recently, Yu Li's current old problem has happened again, and she is living in the hospital.

Both Yu Li and Yu Haitang have to go to work, and they take turns to accompany their mother.

Since the hospital is relatively close to Yu's home, Yu Li has been staying at Yu's home.

This morning I came to pick up a change of clothes and help Li Weidong make breakfast by the way.

Li Weidong yawned and walked out.

"You take care of yourself too."

"Got it, I'm in good health!" Yu Li was three or four months away from giving birth, but her body was stronger than that of ordinary pregnant women.

Li Weidong was not too worried.

After dinner.

Then I rode my bicycle to the planning department of the rolling mill. (end of this chapter)
