Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

The atmosphere at the dinner table became silent, and the four of them ate their meals in silence.

My heart feels heavy.

Two years ago, when the Honghe Brigade was harvesting in autumn, a group of wild boars happened to rush down the mountain to grab food. Zhang Jianguo led the militia to drive them away, intending to drive the wild boars back into the mountains.

However, something unexpected happened. They fired their guns all the way and drove the wild boars into the woods. Someone in the team wanted to keep one or two wild boars for meat, so he shot at the wild boars' butts. As a result, he missed the pig and killed one of his teammates.

This incident caused quite a big stir. The person who fired the gun knew he had caused trouble but dared not admit it. Zhang Jianguo knew who it was, and in order to avoid causing any more deaths, he refused to say a word. He took out 500 yuan himself and asked the other team members to give 100 yuan each to compensate the family of the deceased.

After this incident, Zhang Jianguo was too embarrassed to stay in the militia and simply resigned.

The family was thinking about distributing the land to each household, but Secretary Zhang was thinking about something else.

"My body is almost done with its growth. It's time for you two to leave."

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became quiet. Niu Guixiang watched her old man react and said, "You guys go! I'll take care of the children. When the land is divided, let your cousins ​​help take care of it."

Liu Yumei held the bowl and said hesitantly, "Dad, if we leave, what will happen to your health? Mom can't take care of four children alone. How about I stay and let Jianguo go."

"No, you should go too. Ji Zhiqing asked you to go two years ago. It was my illness that delayed you. Now it's time to go. No matter what you do outside, it's good to see the world."

Secretary Zhang said, looking at his son and daughter-in-law, and sighed: "My illness has used up all our family savings. From now on, you will have to support this family."

Zhang Jianguo said, "Dad, what are you talking about? As long as you are okay and our family is healthy, that's better than anything else."

"I know. You can go without worrying about the family. Your mother and I will take good care of the child."

It was August, and Ji Qinglan, who was far away in Yanjing, finally received a call from Liu Yumei.

"Qinglan, we have bought the train tickets and will arrive in Yanjing in four days."

Ji Qinglan was smiling happily. Liu Yumei was finally coming. She hadn't seen her for three years.

"Okay, I'll pick you up at the station then."

Liu Yumei and the others are finally coming. Ji Qinglan is undoubtedly the happiest one. When they come, she can start doing many of her things.

In the evening, Xiao Yi was also very happy to know that Liu Yumei and Zhang Jianguo were coming over. He knew that Liu Yumei was one of the few friends of his wife.

"I'll take some time out at noon to pick them up at the station!"

Ji Qinglan shook her head. She knew Xiao Yi meant to drive over to pick her up, but she didn’t want to use public property for personal gain.

"No, it's not important. I'll go to the station to pick him up myself."

Seeing that his wife insisted, Xiao Yi didn't mention it anymore. He thought that when the time came, he would go to the station to pick her up himself and give her a surprise.

His idea was good, but the time had come. Last time, his leader asked him to go on a business trip to Yangcheng for inspection. Xiao Yi had no choice but to call Ji Qinglan and tell her that he was going on a business trip.

"Going so far? How many days will it take?" Ji Qinglan asked on the phone.

"It takes a week, and I'll go by plane. It's a pity that I can't go with you to pick them up."

"It doesn't matter. Work is important. You will still be able to see them when you come back."

"Well, wife, I will miss you. Remember to think of me." Xiao Yi's voice was low and hoarse on the other end of the phone.

"What are you talking about? There are others."

Ji Qinglan's heart trembled, he gripped the phone tightly, and looked around guiltily. This was the trouble of not having a telephone installed at home.

She went back and reported on installing the phone, but she didn't know if the queue at the post office was long.

Ji Xincheng followed Luo Hongyu to work as a child laborer, so Ji Qinglan had to go to the train station alone.

While waiting, she kept looking at her watch and staring in the direction of the exit. Under the scorching sun, her heart was burning with anxiety.

With the sharp and distant whistle of the train, people kept coming out of the platform.

In the sunshine, in the crowd, Ji Qinglan saw a figure carrying a bag and looking around in the crowd, and she couldn't help but wave excitedly.

At the same time, Liu Yumei also saw her, smiled, and ran towards her across the crowd.

"Qinglan, I miss you."

"Yumei, you are finally here."

When they arrived at Chengfu Street, Liu Yumei was so surprised when she saw Ji Qinglan's new house that her eyes widened.

"Qinglan, you live here? It's so big and beautiful here."

“Well, Xiao Yi bought it and has been living here since he came back.”

Liu Yumei was shocked when she looked at the spacious house. She wondered what her expression would be if she knew that Ji Qinglan also had two houses on Changjia Street.

Aunt Lian had prepared tea at home. When she saw someone come in, she brought over the warm tea with a smile.

"Comrade Zhang, Comrade Liu, please have some tea."

Liu Yumei took the tea and looked at Aunt Lian, not reacting for a moment.

Ji Qinglan explained: "This is Aunt Lian, she is taking care of us. Lunch is ready. Put the luggage in the room and eat."

Since receiving Liu Yumei's call, she has cleaned up two rooms in the west wing.

Only after the luggage was put into the house did they sit down to eat.

When Liu Yumei saw the food on the table, she was secretly shocked. She didn't expect Qinglan's quality of life to have become so high. The gap between her and Qinglan was getting bigger and bigger.

Ji Qinglan saw that both of them were a little reserved at the dinner table, so he started talking to them from time to time and asked about the situation at home.

It was only later that she found out that Secretary Zhang was ill and Zhang Jianguo had lost his job. Liu Yumei had never told her.

She had always thought that Liu Yumei didn't want to come after receiving her letter.

"My father is in much better health. He can take care of himself and help look after the children. When he has nothing to do, he sits in front of the door and drives the chickens and ducks." Zhang Jianguo said with a smile.

"That's good. I never knew about Uncle Zhang. Sister Yumei didn't tell me and treated me as an outsider."

Liu Yumei quickly shook her head and explained: "No, I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry. The doctor said that the disease can only be treated by nursing, there is no other way."

Ji Qinglan nodded, said nothing more, and asked the four children again.

All four children are her godsons and goddaughters.

"Very well, Ni'er is obedient and sensible, Nannan is also very well behaved, but the two boys are like monkeys and very naughty." Speaking of children, Zhang Jianguo smiled happily, all his previous restraint and discomfort were gone.

Liu Yumei was so exhausted that she couldn't bear to watch it. She was just bragging about herself. How could she praise her own child?

"I haven't seen the children for three years. Did you bring any photos?" Ji Qinglan asked with a smile. Thinking of the four children, Ni'er had always been well-behaved. Nannan and the twins were very young when she left.

"I brought it. I'll show it to you later." Liu Yumei nodded and asked, "By the way, where are my godson and Mr. Li?"

"Xincheng followed Hongyu to the Forbidden City. They had part-time jobs outside during the summer vacation, and Mr. Li went to visit friends."
