The village cadres of Xiahe Village held a meeting to discuss whether to certify the matter for Su Jinxiu, an educated youth, to drive back to the city to visit relatives.

Tian Taohua, director of the Women's Federation of the commune's lower sect, Gudao Rechang, and upright and cheerful: "Of course we have to do it. Let's not talk about how much work the educated youth can do. Just from the perspective of filial piety, we should go back. Otherwise, when people talk about our Xiahe Village in the future, they will have to talk about us.

It’s inhumane.”

The old party secretary Fu Tiezhu, whose grandson admired Su Zhiqing and was the dominant figure in the village, doted on his grandson: "There has never been a rule about issuing letters of introduction when you are busy. If this happens, everyone will have to issue a letter to prove their evasion of work. By then the commune will be

To blame."

"What the old party secretary said, he has a telegram."

"That's not okay. Since you're going to the countryside, you have to follow the rules of the countryside."

"If you put it like that, when your mother is buried in February, San Haizi shouldn't have come back from the army to attend the funeral."

"I'm not telling you, a woman's hair is short of knowledge."

The old party secretary tapped his pipe, squatted down with his back to Tian Taohua, and took two puffs, with disapproval written all over his face.

The village chief first looked at Tian Taohua, then at the old branch secretary, and coughed lightly: "You two, listen to me."

Neither of them spoke.

The village chief first got the telegram from Tian Taohua. The content of the telegram was very short, with only a few words. After all, telegrams are paid per word - [Mom fell seriously, sent something back]

This is just a telegram asking Su Jinxiu to send something back to the city.

"Su Zhiqing, your family didn't let you go back." As soon as the village chief said these words, his heart was biased.

Tian Taohua's eyes suddenly widened.

Su Jinxiu sobbed: "I know, but I really don't trust my mother. My eldest brother has been weak since he was born and takes more medicine than food. My father is a rough man, and my mother fell badly.

As a girl, I really can’t make sense if I don’t go back and serve you for two days.”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Tian Taohua with tears in her eyes: "People say, 'A filial daughter welcomes the door, and a disobedient daughter-in-law guards the funeral bed.' My mother has suffered all her life, and even in the end... she still wants to be upright and comfortable.

of."

The meaning of this statement can be regarded as accusing the sister-in-law of being unfilial.

When Tian Taohua heard this, she immediately felt the same. The reason why she was sent to Xiahe Village as the director of the Women's Federation was because she had an unpleasant quarrel with her unfilial sister-in-law at home and beat her.

"Good boy, you are right."

Tian Taohua also cried immediately: "How do these men know the suffering of us women? Men all marry their wives and forget their mothers. They are not good things."

Old party secretary: "..."

village head:"……"

I feel scolded.

"I have made the decision on this matter, and this proves it." Tian Taohua wiped away tears and said with a strong attitude.

"This, this is against the rules." The old party secretary still wanted to struggle.

"Xiao Su, if the village doesn't let you drive, I will take you to the commune in the afternoon and ask the secretary to drive for you." Tian Taohua took Su Jinxiu's arm.

"Sister Tian, ​​you are so kind. You are such a good cadre who solves people's problems. I really envy my brother-in-law for having such a good wife like you."

Tian Taohua felt embarrassed when she heard the little girl's true words: "How could you say it so well?"

"Yes, it happens that my eldest brother is the penman in the unit. When I go back, I will tell him about the help Sister Tian has given me. Then I will write an article and submit it to the newspaper to let people all over the country know that there is someone like you in Xiahe Village.

A good cadre who serves the people." Su Jinxiu took Tian Taohua's hand and said emotionally.

When the village chief heard this, his eyelids suddenly jumped, and Xiao Jiujiu thought in his heart: "Xiao Su, I have always thought that I should issue you a certificate, but the old party secretary disagrees."

Su Jinxiu nodded: "The village chief is also a good cadre."

"Come on, let's get the certificate." The village chief patted his chest, turned around and took out the key: "Xiao Su, we still have a lot of good cadres in Xiahe Village."

"They are all good cadres, but some are old and have rigid thinking and cannot keep up with the thinking of young cadres."

The old branch secretary stomped his feet in anger, turned around and walked away angrily.

After a while, Su Jinxiu walked to the Educated Youth Home after receiving the certificate. Because of the heatstroke, Tian Taohua told her to stay the night before leaving, so that she could pass out on the train and no one would take care of her.

Fortunately, Su Jinxiu can also get a feel for the situation in the village.

Thinking of this, she was no longer in a hurry to go back. She turned around and walked directly to the village.

"I told you I have no money, so don't come here. You are bad elements. I am a poor peasant. Don't bring bad luck to my family." A suppressed and sharp female voice came faintly.

"Auntie." A man's hoarse voice sounded right after.

"Stop trying to get close to relatives. I'm not your aunt. I have nothing to do with you whether you're old or dead. Let's go quickly."

"I just want to ask you to buy some medicine for me. I won't come to you unless I have to."

"Do you have money to buy medicine? After all, you still need subsidies from my family, and you will not be allowed to come to the door again." After saying that, a huge door panel was heard, and the woman obviously closed the door.

Su Jinxiu lay in the corner and glanced at the source of the sound.

The man standing at the door of Zhou's house was extremely thin. His chin-length hair was messy and covered his face. His clothes were covered in pudding and dirty. He looked like a beggar.

He stood quietly for a while before turning around and preparing to leave. Su Jinxiu quickly retracted her head. Just as she was about to leave quietly, she heard the creaking sound of the door opening again. It was obvious that the woman just now had a soft mouth and opened the door again.

Su Jinxiu lay back in the corner again.

I saw the woman rushing out of the door and snatching the watch from the man's hand: "Bah, the bad elements actually hide the watch secretly, it's a cancer of capitalism."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the house, closing the door again.

Su Jinxiu: "..." This is a robbery, right?

Because she was afraid of being discovered, Su Jinxiu didn't return to the Educated Youth Academy until the man left. Su Jinxiu wasn't too surprised about the robbery of the watch before. Whether it was from the plot or the memory of the original owner, the village's

The villagers are not good people.

Xiahe Village is mainly composed of two surnames, one is Fu and the other is Zhou.

There are many Fu family members and few Zhou family members, so the cadres in the village, large and small, are basically all Fu family members. After the original owner was captured by the Fu Patriot Party in his previous life, he obviously committed a crime, but because he was a Fu family member, he was covered up.

Later, the whole village knew that the original owner was imprisoned in the cellar, but no one came to save her. The people in this village were both ignorant and evil.

This is also the reason why the original owner must send his daughter out of Xiahe Village.

Su Jinxiu sat in the room for a while, then patted her face and brought her thoughts back.

Thinking that she was going back to the city tomorrow, she started to pack her things. She definitely couldn't bring the bedding and blankets, but she had to bring other odds and ends with her. This time she returned to the city, and she already planned to never come back again.

Regardless of whether Wu Lanlan is the heroine or not, she must get Yang Guihua's job.

Su Jinxiu opened the cabinet quickly and took out a roll of money hidden in the corner of the cabinet. She counted the pieces and found a total of thirty-six yuan. This money was from Su Dahai when he went to the countryside.

It was given to her, but she has not been willing to use it after all these years.

There is also a bag of peach cakes in the cabinet. This bag of peach cakes was secretly sent by Fu Yongjun some time ago. Logically speaking, she shouldn't accept it, but the peach cakes are so fragrant that the little girl couldn't resist the temptation and accepted it.

When we returned, Fu Yongjun had already returned to the army.

Opening the paper bag carefully, the sweet smell of flour hit your face.

Su Jinxiu swallowed, picked up a piece and took a bite.

Don't tell me, the peach cake is really fragrant.

After finishing a piece of peach cake in a few mouthfuls, and just as he was about to wrap it up, he heard voices coming from outside. He hurriedly stuffed the peach cake back into the cabinet and locked it, when he heard someone calling him outside.

"Little Su Zhiqing."

Su Jinxiu wiped her mouth with her sleeve vigilantly, then stood up and opened the door.

I saw two young men standing at the door of the yard, one of whom was the man I saw at the door of Zhou's house before.

Could it be that the eavesdropping was discovered?

"What do you want from me?" Su Jinxiu asked doubtfully with an uneasy mood.

"Little Su Zhiqing, I heard that you suffered from heat stroke a few days ago. Are you feeling better now?" Another young man asked in a somewhat anxious tone.

Su Jinxiu suddenly became wary.

Looking at this attitude of caring and causing chaos, it must be another bad thing caused by the original owner.

"It's fine now, thank you for your concern."

Su Jinxiu coughed lightly, her face suddenly turned serious, her body straightened, and she had the aura of Comrade Liu who would rather die than surrender.

"that……"

The young man scratched his head: "Little Su Zhiqing, I just want to ask, do you still have more medicine that you took before? One of my elders also suffered from heat stroke, and old Uncle Zhong sent all the medicine to the Zhiqing Hospital.

."

It turns out he was asking for medicine.

Su Jinxiu realized that she had misunderstood and was a little embarrassed.

It's just medicine...

"Yes, please wait a moment and I'll go in and get it."
