Rebirth Space Farming

Chapter 96 The Truth Five Years Ago
As a city resident, Zhuo Feng is used to sitting in an office, and lacks exercise in normal times. He rushed to the southwest mountainous area after a long journey, but he didn't feel it at first.

As soon as I got on the bike, my legs and feet became sore from useless.He was blowing his breath out of his nostrils, like a ox that had been pulling a plow all day.

Fortunately, Xiao Xian in front was not riding fast, as if he was deliberately waiting for her.

Zhuo Feng gritted his teeth, stepped on the pedals of the car, and managed to circle the entire hillside. After turning the corner, the terrain changed from high to low, and the wheels spun rapidly.

The farmlands on both sides are like green waves and rice waves. When the wind blows, the fragrance of rice flowers goes straight to the tip of the nose, which is the most primitive natural smell.

The cool mountain wind blew all Zhuo Feng's short hair that was pinched next to her ears flying up, blocking her view.

When she pushed back the hair that blocked her eyes, the scenery in front of her eyes had changed from endless mountains and green forests to a large lake with sparkling water.

The wind blows from the other side of the mountain, and the melodious music of the Miao village is like ripples on the water, reaching people's ears layer by layer.

"It's so beautiful." Zhuo Feng is only 26 years old this year. During the two years from college to work, the bustling city life has lost its attraction for her for the first time.

"When you first asked me, I thought that you, like those people, came to camp in the mountains," said Xiao Xian. Those people were the climbers who appeared in Gecun from time to time.

While talking, Zhuo Feng bent down and picked up several empty glass bottles and plastic bags, and put them in the bicycle basket.People in the city don't know how to take the garbage with them after camping and going down the mountain.

For some reason, after Zhuo Feng finished this action, she felt that Xiao Xian's eyes looking at her softened a lot.

bosom friend!Xiaoxian shouted loudly in her heart, when she was free, she would go to the Bailongtan to pick up some bottles and cans. At first, she just threw them into the space like before at Yuntengmen.

But then I gave it to Granny Zhao in the village and talked to her a few times, saying that those bottles and cans could be sold for money, and asked Xiao Xian to give her all the cans so that she could save a good coffin for her.

Yezi knew about it secretly, and laughed at Granny Zhao for being so old and greedy for petty gains, so she didn't know if her coffin was going to be made of gold.

"Hey, why are there two bridges on the lake?" Zhuo Feng hung the bag of garbage on the front of the car, and while admiring the surrounding scenery, he noticed that there were two bridges across the lake.

One is a chain bridge that looks very old. The bridge deck can only accommodate two people walking side by side.The other is a solid concrete bridge with a bluish-white bridge body, which looks like it has not been a few years old.

"The cable bridge has been in use for a long time, but the bridge deck is too narrow to be open to traffic. The village and the village together paid for the new bridge early, so that adults can feel at ease about the children who go to school in the temple. But the new bridge After it was built, everyone had feelings for the old cable bridge, and they were reluctant to tear it down, so they kept it as a souvenir.” Xiaoxian explained that the stone bridge was built before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and with that stone bridge The bridge, ordinary trucks can drive up.

Just as he was talking, there were a few more village children returning home from school on the bridge.When they saw Xiaoxian, the children all said hello. The students who went to school during the summer vacation were all students with poor grades, and it was considered as a kind of make-up class.

Zhuo Feng saw the children carrying schoolbags, some of them frowned and recited the poems taught by Master Shanyin, "I don't think there are many people in your village, and there are schools in the village?" According to the school district planning in ordinary mountainous areas, it is necessary to Mountain primary schools can only be built after reaching a certain population.

One of the most important reasons why Zhuo Feng was worried about leaving Xiaoxian to live in the mountains was education.Before coming here, Zhuo Feng even imagined that Xiao Xian spoke some difficult words to her in Mandarin, which was not fluent.Fortunately, after meeting, listening to Xiaoxian's words, compared with Beijing movies, it is not detrimental.

Xiaoxian explained the ins and outs of Master Shanyin and his temple school clearly. After hearing this, Zhuo Feng became more suspicious of the teaching quality of the temple in the mountainous area.With a monk teaching the class, Xiaoxian should not have feudal superstitions in his mind. Thinking of these, Zhuo Feng was unhappy.

The sky was crimson at sunset, Xiaoxian saw that it was getting late, so she pushed the cart and Zhuo Feng to go home.

Zhuo Feng was hesitating along the way whether to tell Xiao Xian what she said to Zhu Shijun in advance, but after walking halfway, his straight-tempered temper flared up again, and he couldn't help asking: "Xiao Xian, aunt Did you think about what you said earlier? The villagers in Gecun are pretty good, but staying here, you won’t receive a good education, and you won’t be able to see the splendor of the outside world.” Zhuo Feng didn’t know what she said Did Xiao Xian understand? After all, she was only ten years old.

"Auntie? Should I call you that?" Perhaps the Zhuo family's blood has played a role in Xiao Xian's lukewarm attitude towards her when he first met Zhuo Feng, "I like Gecun, the people here I like both landscapes and people. I won’t get used to it if I leave here.”

"Xiao Xian, you can't stay here forever. Zhu Shijun, your grandfather's case has been gone, and you don't know when you will be put in prison again. What will you do when you are alone?" Zhuo Feng saw Xiao Xian's tone was quite gentle, and after hearing what she said, he didn't show any displeasure, and went on with the situation.

"Grandpa is going to jail? What did he do?" Regarding the jail time, Xiao Xian probably knew something about Qian Yongcai.According to the village chief, Qian Yongcai was sued by the Blue Sky Group, saying that Qian Yongcai embezzled 10,000+ green funds and was sentenced to eight years in prison.

The 10,000+ number back then was not a small number, and it was definitely considered an important economic crime in China.

During the past few years in Gecun, Xiaoxian's life was surrounded by only a few adults.The gossiping women in the village couldn't tell what crime Zhu Shijun had committed.

People who know it, such as the village head, Uncle Sangouzi, and the Li family, are not willing to gossip in front of children.

Zhu Shijun himself was even more secretive about corruption, and never mentioned it in front of Xiao Xian.

After listening to Xiaoxian's statement about Qian Yongcai, Zhuo Feng hesitated, saying that her grandfather was not good in front of the children. After all, it is not an honorable thing, but the truth of this matter may affect Xiaoxian's attitude Zhu Shijun's real opinion is also related to whether she wants to go down the mountain.

If being a villain once can bring Xiao Xianbu back to the normal life trajectory of children of the same age, then she is willing to be despicable for once.

"Zhu Shijun worked as the director of Yunnan Cigarette Factory for more than 20 years before he became the director of BJ Tobacco Bureau." Zhuo Feng carefully chose his words, trying not to reveal her hostility towards Zhu Shijun in his words: "He is very shrewd. Whether it is in the mall or in the officialdom. About five years ago, when you were only five years old, Zhu Shijun asked your father to quit his stable job and go to Yunnan to work in the wholesale and retail of cigarettes, saying yes He knew a lot of people in that area, and it was easy to do business. Not long after that, something happened. The tens of thousands of cigarettes that your father brought back from wholesale were found to be inferior cigarettes, and the nicotine content in them was nearly twice as high as that of ordinary tobacco. , and the licenses for those cigarettes are all approved by the Tobacco Bureau for sale. Tens of thousands of cigarettes are all from state-owned factories, and the direct economy is tens of millions. After that, your parents fled to other places, and then Zhu Shijun was also reported and dismissed from public office and sentenced to life imprisonment."

Zhuo Feng's description was very brief, and it only lasted three months from the occurrence to the end of the past.In those three months, Xiao Xian became an orphan whose parents passed away overnight and whose grandfather was imprisoned from a happy and happy girl in heaven.

At that time, Zhuo Feng had just entered university, and she seldom paid attention to current affairs news. Under Zhu Shijun's deliberate concealment, she didn't know the whole story until half a year later.

Soon after Zhu Shijun was imprisoned, several tobacco and alcohol factories in Yunnan area jointly wrote to the central government, requesting the relevant departments to reduce Zhu Shijun's sentence. Along with the letter, there were tens of thousands of smokers' signatures in Yunnan and Guizhou area.It is said that it has been more than 20 years, and the Yunnan Cigarette Factory has changed from a small tobacco factory on the verge of bankruptcy to a leading large tobacco factory in China, all thanks to Zhu Shijun.

No one has faults, but when it comes to rewards and punishments for merit and demerit, the law is nothing more than human feelings.

After the letter went up, another unknown high-ranking leader of the central government came forward. In the end, Zhu Shijun was secretly deported to Gecun in the southwest mountainous area after serving half a year in prison under the pretext of being old and infirm and released on medical parole.

"Tens of millions? Life imprisonment?" Xiaoxian was frightened by these two words, and was sent to prison for a lifetime.Much more money than 10,000+.

"Yes, it is because of your grandfather's arbitrary coercion. My elder brother is also your father. A person who has never been interested in business is forced to go to Yunnan to manage cigarette wholesale. He doesn't understand tobacco at all. Those people Poisonous tobacco was allowed to be marketed and circulated because of Zhu Shijun's negligence of duty, and even accepting bribes from local tobacco farmers." Zhuo Feng said this, and he gripped the handlebar tightly, his fingers swollen red.

"Grandpa is not that kind of person. People in the village asked him to help look after the crops. He never took money, and he lived a very simple life. He only had a few sets of clothes throughout the year. If he got benefits from that batch of poisonous smoke, his money Where did you go?" Xiao Xian refused to believe Zhuo Feng's words, but the words "life imprisonment" were deeply seared in her mind.

Grandpa was released on medical parole because he was weak and sick. If people found out that he was in good health, wouldn't he have to go back to prison again.

Is it a sign that the Guiyang Police Station asks grandpa to take notes every now and then?With things on her mind, Xiao Xian's journey home was not so stable.

When returning the car to the village hostel, Zhuo Feng rushed to pay the money, and said while paying, "Xiaoxian doesn't like the things my aunt bought, so after my aunt brings you back to BJ, I will take you to the mall to pick them up. BJ's is so much more delicious and fun."

Xiaoxian didn't say anything, she was pretending to be something.

Zhuo Feng's words had no effect on her.As a "fake freshman", after hearing the cause of her parents' death, she didn't feel too much emotionally.But physically, especially the position of the heart, there will be bursts of tingling pain.

To live on behalf of Zhu Xiaoxian would be to fulfill her unfulfilled filial piety.Intuitively, Xiaoxian believed that Zhuo Feng was not a person who made troubles.Zhu Shijun's crimes, as well as his sentence, will be the heaviest shackles on the old man.

After returning from the monthly interrogations at the Guiyang Police Station, Zhu Shijun sat silently at the door, looking to the northeast.Like a migratory bird waiting to fly north.

Xiao Xian knew where BJ was.

At that time, the soldiers were in the southwest, but Ke Xin stayed in the busiest city in the north.

When explaining the rivers and mountains of the motherland to Xiao Xian, he would take out a map and teach her the capital of China.

But in memory, "Xiaoxian" has very little memory about BJ, probably because "Zhu Xiaoxian" was still too young at that time.

Before entering the house, Xiao Xian saw that the Eight Immortals table in the house had been moved out from a distance.Several cold dishes are already on the table.In summer, the house is sweltering, so Aunt Lian often puts dinner outside the house, eating with the wind blowing, that's pleasant.

In the kitchen, Zhu Shijun couldn't help, so he went to the back of the house to pick a big watermelon, and planned to soak it in the well early, and freeze it, so that he could entertain guests in the evening.

Xiaoxian walked to the back of the house, looked at Zhu Shijun who was sideways picking watermelons, opened his mouth, but finally remained silent.
