When it was almost noon, Wang Yue asked Zheng Juan and Liu Hui to go back to cook, while Xu Zhiqiang and Jia Ming went up the slope to do Zheng Juan and Liu Hui's work. In fact, they just wanted to let the two of them take a break.
Wang Yue himself used to be not afraid of pain. Although he had no martial arts skills, he was much stronger and had thicker skin and flesh. Now he didn't feel that tired when doing heavy work.
But Jia Ming and Xu Zhiqiang were not able to do it. They were already exhausted. Now seeing Wang Yue letting them do the easy work, they were very happy.
Of course, the three of them worked much slower, but at least they did not stop working, so when they took a break in the afternoon, they had almost finished their work with the other villagers.
Seeing that the educated youth worked quite quickly, the other villagers were no longer so averse to them. They would greet them proactively when passing by them, which made Jia Ming and his companions very happy.
However, although they were happy, after returning to the educated youth point, Xu Zhiqiang and Jia Ming lay in bed and did not want to move.
These two guys used to be sneaky and sly. This is the first time they are doing serious work, and their muscles have not been developed at all.
Liu Hui knew that the three men were tired from working, so she wanted to go with Zheng Juan to pick up branches so that the three boys could take a break. After they had picked up enough wood, she would let the three boys move the things back.
However, Wang Yue was worried about Zheng Juan and Liu Hui going out, so he got up and followed them out, letting Jia Ming and Xu Zhiqiang rest for a while before coming out to find them.
Jia Ming and Xu Ziqiang felt even more grateful to Wang Yue and agreed without thinking.
In fact, Wang Yue came to the right place. Some branches closer to the village had already been picked up by other villagers, and it was not the turn of these educated youth at all.
Wang Yue had no choice but to borrow an axe from the village chief's house, then took the two girls a little deeper, and gradually they found some results.
After working hard for several days, the canal was finally completed after the winter came. The wood accumulated at Wang Yue and his fellow educated youth's site during this period seemed to be enough to last through the winter.
After the slack season, there was no other work in the village. Wang Yue asked Liu Hui and the others during dinner, "The slack season is coming soon. Do you three want to go back to the city? Juanzi's brother has poor eyesight, and her mother is quite old. We should go back tomorrow morning and come back in the evening."
Jia Ming hesitated for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "I was confused when I came here. My dad said it wasn't far, but it took me a whole day to get here. I felt like he was lying to me. If you go back early tomorrow morning, can you still come back in the evening?"
Xu Zhiqiang is now familiar with everyone and starts to talk more.
Seeing that Jia Ming was a person with poor directions, he added, "We are indeed very close to the city, but if we want to go back to the city, even if we ride a bicycle, it will probably take more than an hour."
Wang Yue was amused by Jia Ming. He didn't expect that this guy had a poor sense of direction. However, he didn't make fun of him. He just followed Xu Zhiqiang's words and said, "If we ride fast, we may arrive in less than an hour. We can go in the morning and come back in the evening. But we have to borrow a bicycle from the old village chief's house first."
After hearing this, Jia Ming said excitedly, "If you really go back, can you come to my house? I have an unused bicycle at home, you can ride it over and use it."
Wang Yue did not postpone it. He nodded and said, "Thank you in advance. However, do you want me to bring anything back?"
Jia Ming shook his head and said simply, "What should I bring? It's very tiring. Just tell them to bring some money and tickets."
Xu Zhiqiang couldn't help laughing, he nodded and said, "Bring some to me, we can go to the market to buy some good things when we have time to improve our meals."
Liu Hui thought this was a good idea and joined in. She was also smart enough to write down the address and letter to Wang Yue.
Jia Ming and Xu Zhiqiang reacted quickly and rushed into the house to write a letter. They also knew that it was impossible for Wang Yue, who just talked big, to get money from their family.
While they were busy writing letters, Wang Yue and Zheng Juan went to the village chief's house and told him that they wanted to ask for leave.
The old village chief had a very good impression of Wang Yue and Zheng Juan. It was after the arrival of these two people that things became more normal for him.
You know, when Liu Hui and the other two first came, they gave him a headache. If it wasn't against the rules to chase people away, he would have driven them away long ago.
After hearing what Wang Yue said, the old village chief did not object. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "If you two want to ask for leave, I can approve two more days. If you want to ride a bicycle, you must come back on the same day. After all, it belongs to the collective."
After hearing what the old village chief said, Wang Yue immediately assured him, "Uncle, I will be back the same day this time. I will find a way to get a bicycle by then, so I won't have to come here to borrow one again in the future."
The old village chief saw that Wang Yue understood what he meant immediately, so he nodded and said, "That's no problem. It's getting late, you should go back and pack your things.
I also knew about the situation at Zheng Juan's home when you came. If your family is really in trouble after you return to the city, you can come back the next morning."
Zheng Juan's eyes turned red. She quickly bowed to the old village chief and then said with a snort, "Thank you, village chief! Thank you so much!"
The old village chief liked the grateful child very much, so he said with a smile, "You're welcome, go quickly, and come back soon tomorrow."
……
The total distance from Wangjiatun to Photon Plate was less than 18 kilometers. Wang Yue rode a bicycle with Zheng Juan for an hour before they saw the outline of Jichun in the distance.
It’s not that Wang Yue writes slowly, it’s just that the road is difficult to walk on at that time, and he has to bring someone with him, which is indeed quite strenuous.
After sending Zheng Juan home, he just said hello to Zheng's mother and Zheng Guangming, and then hurried to Liu Hui, Jia Ming and Xu Zhiqiang's home.
Because Xu Zhiqiang's home was closer to Wang Yue's home, Wang Yue went there first.
Xu Zhiqiang's parents both work in the Education Bureau. Although they are not high-ranking officials, it is still quite difficult for Wang Yue to meet them.
He arrived at the gate of the Education Bureau, but the gatekeeper wouldn't let him in. He wanted him to help pass on a message, but the gatekeeper wasn't willing to do so.
Wang Yue had no way to deal with such an awkward person. He negotiated for a long time before he said helplessly, "Uncle, when you see Xu Zhiqiang's parents, please tell them that if they have time after get off work, they can go to Photon Slice to find me. My name is Wang Yue."
After he finished speaking, he left. The gatekeeper was stunned by Wang Yue's reaction. He didn't expect Wang Yue wouldn't even wait for him. This made him realize that Wang Yue really wasn't here to ask for favors.
He hesitated for a moment, and fearing that he might forget something, he went inside and forwarded it.
Wang Yue didn't know how the gatekeeper at the Education Bureau would react, so he turned around and rushed towards the government compound.
This time he got in easily and successfully met Liu Hui's father and mother, and only then did he know Liu Hui's identity.
It turns out that Liu Hui is the daughter of Deputy Mayor Jichun. No wonder she can't cook. She has had a nanny at home since she was a child.
When Liu's mother was looking at Liu Huixin, Liu's father asked, "What kind of farm work are you doing now? Is Huihui used to it?"
Wang Yue certainly didn't say anything difficult, and praised her vigorously, "I repaired the canal some time ago, and now I have some free time. Liu Hui has been doing a good job and has learned how to do it."
After reading Liu Hui's letter, Mother Liu heard Wang Yue's praise and said helplessly, "Your name is Wang Yue, right? You'd better stop praising her. We all know this girl in our family. If she could be a hard-working person, we wouldn't be so anxious.
However, what I didn't expect was that Jia Ming couldn't survive in the village. I really have to thank you and Zheng Juan for that."
Wang Yue was a little surprised. He didn't expect Liu Hui to say everything. He said a little embarrassedly, "It's not a big help. After all, we have to live together, and it's only right to help each other."
After Liu's mother handed the letter to Liu's father, she hesitated and said, "Huihui said in the letter that your girlfriend's family is in great difficulty?"
Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said, "Uncle and aunt, I just came here to deliver a letter. I don't mean to trouble you two."
Seeing Wang Yue's reaction, Mother Liu laughed. She said nonchalantly, "I just want to understand the situation. If I can really help your girlfriend solve some problems, it's my duty. After all, your girlfriend has taken good care of my spoiled girl."
She cried to me in her heart that she hadn’t had a full meal for some time before you left.”
Wang Yue felt hopeful after hearing what Mother Liu said, so he carefully introduced Zheng Juan's family situation.
He did not bother to be polite with Liu Hui's parents, and said helplessly, "If possible, I really want to ask uncle and aunt to help arrange a proper job for Mother Zheng, such as guarding the door or sweeping the streets, so that Juanzi can feel more at ease in the village."
Mother Liu and Father Liu, who had just finished reading the letter, looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding.
Father Liu then put the letter away and said seriously, "I can really help a little, but my situation here is not particularly good. I may be sent down at any time. I am just afraid that if I help arrange it, your girlfriend's mother will also be implicated."
Wang Yue saw that Mr. Liu didn't seem to be joking. He hesitated for a moment and said, "My girlfriend's family is so poor that they have nothing to lose except their lives, so they are not afraid of anything."
Chapter 137: Every family has its own problems!
Father Liu had specifically investigated the situation of Wang Yue and Zheng Juan's family. He knew that Wang Yue and Zheng Juan were of good family background and would definitely not be affected.
But if Zheng Juan had any involvement with their Liu family, and was affected by himself, Zheng Juan's family would be in big trouble.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely distance himself from the matter after hearing his words, but Wang Yue acted very calmly.
Seeing how courageous Wang Yue was, especially his statement that there was nothing left to give up except life, he admired Wang Yue even more.
He didn't hesitate and said seriously, "Then please write me a letter about Zheng Juan's family situation and I will make arrangements for her later."
Before Wang Yue could say thank you, Mother Liu changed the subject and said, "I'll give you some money and tickets later. Please help me bring them to Huihui so that she can spend them sparingly.
As for my family situation, don't tell her yet. Let's talk about it when the day comes."
Of course Wang Yue also knew that he had to keep it a secret for the time being, otherwise, Liu Hui would rush home in a hurry and might be taken advantage of by someone.
Although he understood it in his heart, he was still a little confused and said, "I understand, but why did uncle and aunt tell me all these things? Could it be that the situation is very urgent?"
Father Liu looked at Wang Yue with even more curiosity. He didn't expect Wang Yue to see this. He was silent for a while, then said seriously, "I'm afraid it will be within the next few months."
Wang Yue saw that Father Liu didn't even dare to say the key word "after the New Year", so he realized that even Father Liu was not sure and he couldn't help, so he could only say helplessly, "I can't help you with other things, uncle and aunt, but don't worry, Liu Hui will definitely not be bullied in the educated youth center, and we will protect her."
The reason why Wang Yue made this guarantee was because his family was of good origin and he was not afraid of those things at all and could indeed be taken care of.
Now he vaguely understood why Mr. and Mrs. Liu were so enthusiastic towards him.
It is certain that when he and Zheng Juan were assigned to Wangjiatun, Liu's father had already investigated it, which is why he told him such a crucial thing as soon as he arrived.
Now that he had figured it out, Wang Yue behaved more and more naturally. He chatted with Mr. and Mrs. Liu for a while, and then took the money from Mrs. Liu.
After Wang Yue left, Mother Liu said dejectedly, "Given Huihui's personality, I'm really worried that she won't be able to survive in the village after we are sent down. I don't know if Wang Yue can be trusted."
Father Liu patted Mother Liu's hand and consoled her with a smile, "If I hadn't met Wang Yue before, I might have been a little worried, but after meeting this child, I feel relieved about Huihui."
Mother Liu was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly, "Why should we be assured? He has a girlfriend, you are not still trying to bring them together, are you?"
Father Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly explained, "You just think too much. You also read Huihui's letter. After Wang Yue went there, their lives changed all of a sudden.
Think about it, a few educated youths who just came to the countryside from the city can work as fast as the men in the village. You don’t think that Jia Ming has become a good worker after going to the countryside, do you? "
Mother Liu suddenly realized, and she smiled and said, "That's why you asked me to take more money. Huihui is not a stingy person. If she has this money, she can not only compensate Wang Yue and Zheng Juan elsewhere, but also slowly adapt to life there."
Father Liu nodded, but he hadn't said anything else. He thought Wang Yue was not a sinister person and was very worthy of making friends.
Wang Yue and Zheng Juan are getting old and will probably get married soon. Liu Hui has money and can help her out when she is in trouble. At that time, Wang Yue and Zheng Juan will be more attentive to Liu Hui.
……
Wang Yue didn't know all this. He left the Liu family and found the Jia family in the same compound.
Jia Ming's father was also very enthusiastic when he saw Wang Yue. He didn't talk much with Wang Yue. He just hinted to Wang Yue when he was leaving that he had just come out of Liu's house and was deliberately avoiding suspicion, so that Wang Yue shouldn't mind.
At the same time, he gave Wang Yue some money and asked Wang Yue to ride away the 28-inch bicycle in the yard.
During the whole process, Wang Yue didn't even see Jia's mother, which made Wang Yue realize how bad the situation was now.
However, from Jia's father's reaction, Wang Yue guessed that the Jia family was either sure there was no problem, or they simply did not trust Wang Yue.
Wang Yue did not speculate too much about this. He knew that the bicycle must be what Jia Ming asked for. He did not hesitate and quickly rode one bicycle while holding another in his hand and rushed home.
When he passed by Taiping Hutong, he dropped one of the bicycles at Zheng Juan's house and then returned to his own home.
……
Before Wang Yue entered the house, he saw his sister Wang Hui and two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, chatting about something at the door.
Wang Yue sighed that his sister was very smart. When she was alone at home, she would not bring strangers into the yard. If she encountered danger outside, she would call for help from neighbors.
When Wang Hui saw her brother coming back, she immediately called out, "Brother, these two comrades are looking for you."
After Wang Yue stopped his bike, he signaled Wang Hui to go home. He then looked at the two of them and asked curiously, "Are you two Zhiqiang's parents?"
Father Xu nodded and asked curiously, "How did you guess it?"
Wang Yue sighed inwardly. This person really came from the education system. He still didn't forget to test his teaching at this time. He said helplessly, "I just came back today. I delivered three letters today. I have met the other two parents. I have not met Xu Zhiqiang's only one."
After hearing Wang Yue's complaint, Mother Xu said a little embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry! Old Zhang was just trying to stop people from asking for favors, but he didn't expect you to just leave, so he quickly asked someone to send us a letter."
Wang Yue guessed that this was the case, so he pretended to be a little embarrassed and said, "Uncle and aunt, it's not that I don't want to wait, it's just that I still have two more houses to visit, and I'm worried that if I wait any longer, I won't be able to finish the two visits."
Father Xu waved his hand nonchalantly and said generously, "It's all a small matter. I heard from Lao Zhang that you brought a letter from Zhiqiang?"
Wang Yue quickly took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Father Xu. He then said politely, "Uncle and aunt, why don't you sit inside?"
Father Xu shook his head and said helplessly, "Forget it, we can just chat here for a while. We are afraid that we will bring you unnecessary trouble if we enter your house with our identities."
Wang Yue was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was another parent who might cause problems. No wonder Wang Hui didn't bring him home. It turned out that Xu Ziqiang's parents were unwilling.
But think about it, Mr. Xu is obviously an intellectual, and the possibility of something going wrong at this time is too great.
He did not force it and just stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Xu at the gate of the yard.
After reading the letter, the two were very grateful to Wang Yue, just like Liu's father and mother. They also gave Wang Yue a sum of money and asked Wang Yue to help pass it on.
After Wang Yue took the money, he was very grateful in his heart. It was at times like this that the trust between people was still very high. Otherwise, no one would have let him help to get these three huge sums of money.
After seeing off Mr. and Mrs. Xu, Wang Yue hadn't had time to enter the house when Zhou Bingkun ran over from next door. He asked excitedly, "Brother Wang, I heard your voice from a long way away, but I didn't come over because I heard you talking to someone else. How long have you been here?"
Wang Yue looked at Zhou Bingkun's excited expression and couldn't help but look back at his own house. He wondered in his heart, could this kid still be thinking about his sister?
Come to think of it, this is really possible. He had abducted Zheng Juan, and it seemed that his sister was the only prettier girl around.
However, Wang Yue had no intention of stopping him. After all, he had been away from home for a long time. He just stabbed Zhou Bingkun and asked, "Is everything okay at home? Did your sister write back?"
Zhou Bingkun's expression turned ugly. He said gloomily, "Brother Wang, please don't mention my sister. My father and mother want to cut off all ties with her. Now only my brother and I can write back to her."
Wang Yue frowned and asked in surprise, "Your sister won't get married after she left, right? Isn't that too fast?"
Zhou Bingkun shook his head and said awkwardly, "I don't know either. However, as long as she really saw that person, the possibility is very high. You know my sister's temper. Once she makes up her mind, nothing can stop her."
Wang Yue glanced at Zhou Bingkun and asked tentatively, "Your sister's reply to you, show it to Cai Xiaoguang when you have time. He still misses your sister."
Zhou Bingkun was stunned for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Brother Wang, this is not good, right? My sister may have married, and I am still dragging Brother Xiaoguang here, this is too unfair."
