No matter how stupid Zhong Yiqiu was, she knew that it was too abnormal for an unmarried girl to make shoes for a man who had nothing to do with her.

Could it be that Xiao Mingye's sister has taken a fancy to me?

But what do you see in me?Her brother is so powerful, so he should fall in love with a man like her brother, right?

Zhong Yiqiu couldn't figure it out.

What shocked him even more was that the news spread throughout the village the next day!

The six sons rushed over excitedly early in the morning, and asked wretchedly, "Qiuer, is it true that Yulan said she would make shoes for you?"

Zhong Yiqiu was eating porridge. These days, Xiao Mingye cooked white rice porridge for breakfast. He had eaten corn dregs for more than half a month. It was rare to improve his food, and he just added a second bowl.

Hearing Liu Zi's words, his jaw almost dropped into the bowl, "How do you know?"

The six sons uttered all the dialects he was scared of, laughed loudly, squeezed their eyes and said, "The whole village knows it! I heard it from my mother, and my mother said that I heard it from the second sister-in-law next door. Where is the news about the second sister-in-law?" I didn't know it came!"

Zhong Yiqiu felt that she must have caught a cold, and her heart also started to throb.

"Here, you can tell even if you fart, and there's no way to stop such explosive news!" The six sons intensified, turned their eyes a few times and bumped Zhong Yiqiu with their shoulders, "You can do it! Yuan Yulan's eyes are on the top of her head , I’ve been on blind dates for at least fifty people, and I didn’t like any of them, but I fell in love with you!”

"No-no-no," Zhong Yiqiu quickly waved his hands in denial, "She didn't see me!"

"I've been making shoes for you and haven't taken your fancy yet?" Sixth rolled his eyes, "Go and find out who she made shoes for, let alone shoes, she didn't even make a pair of insoles for my second brother!"

Zhong Yiqiu couldn't argue with anything, and could only feel aggrieved, "Who the hell said it? It spread so quickly!"

Uncle Yi heard it funny, and tapped his chopsticks outside, "There is Li Lianhua in the supply and marketing cooperative, nicknamed Lian Dazui. When you talk at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, it is the same as talking to the loudspeaker in the village!"

Everyone laughed hahaha.

"What's the matter, you still look down on him?" The six sons remained stubborn, lying on Xiao Mingye's back whenever he had a chance, and he pushed his shoulders away.

Zhong Yiqiu was helpless, it was not something to be ignored, "I'm still young!"

"Hahahahaha" the six couldn't stop laughing, "20 is still young? The second brother is two years older than you, and you've already found twenty or thirty!"

"Pfft! Cough, cough——" Xiao Mingye almost spit out a mouthful of porridge, but quickly swallowed it and it stuck in his throat, causing veins to appear on his neck.

In the afternoon, the second grade had a physical examination. Zhong Yiqiu was fine, so she went to the playground to help.

The playground, which had just finished raining, was still not completely dry, so we could only warm up by running on the concrete floor of the basketball court. Dozens of children, like a group of radish heads, marched in line under Xiao Mingye's whistle.

Zhong Yiqiu's body is just fine, and he felt a little sore after not exercising for a long time, so he took off his coat and threw it to Xiao Mingye, and ran after him wearing a caramel-colored sweater.

Most of the students wear homemade canvas shoes, and only a few from families with slightly better conditions wear bought canvas shoes.

But even for cloth shoes, it is impossible to wear new ones frequently.

Not only do mothers have to do farm work, cook, and wash clothes, but they are also responsible for the needlework of the whole family, such as clothes, shoes, sweaters, insoles, etc. It is good to be able to make a pair of shoes for their children in one season.

It is even more impossible for a family with many children. They are all passed on from the older ones to the younger ones. The soles and uppers of the shoes are separated.

After running for a few laps, several children's shoes ran off, and Yuan Bing's big toe even rushed out of the hole in the front of the shoe!

This definitely won't work, it's too informal and not suitable for sports, Zhong Yiqiu plans in his heart, when the list of players for the competition is determined, he still needs to buy sports shoes and sportswear.

But who pays?Is it from the school or from our funds?

He had a small calculation in mind.

Before dinner was ready, Yuan Huhu entered the courtyard with a bottle of liquor, calling him Uncle Yi.

Zhong Yiqiu came here for a while and found out that Yuan Huo's full name is Yuan Ronghu, and Uncle Yi's name is Yuan Rongyi. They are supposed to be of the same generation. I don't know why he is also called Uncle Yi?

Seeing his posture, he wanted to drink at night, so Uncle Yi asked Zhong Yiqiu to go to the vegetable garden to pluck green onions and scramble eggs, fry a little preserved bacon and celery, and fry a large plate of peanuts.

"Where's the second brother?" Yuan Huhu asked while pouring the wine while the rice was on the table.

"Damn called back," Uncle Yi replied.

"Wang Guizhi only has this ability, so he can just torment his son!" Yuan Huhu curled his lips.

Uncle Yi didn't say a word, Zhong Yiqiu didn't know what was going on, so he didn't dare to answer.

Yuan Huhu said to Uncle Yi again, "Guess what you asked him to do?"

"What are you doing?" Uncle Yi asked.

"It rained a few days ago, and Yuan Rongzhao complained of back pain. He asked Zhang Ximing to get an injection for a few days, but it didn't help. I heard that he couldn't get out of bed these two days." I want to take him to the hospital in the town to have a look, and it must be the reason for the second brother to go back."

"Where are Baochang and Baocai?" Uncle Yi asked.

"It doesn't matter what Baochang said, and besides, the money is not in his hands. Baocai is working in the county. I told him, but I just said that I can't come back because I'm busy, and I didn't mention a word about the money!" Yuan Laohu stared. looking at his tiger eyes.

Zhong Yiqiu blurted out impulsively, "Do you want Xiao Mingye to pay for it? His elder brother has no money, but his father has all the money, so he should use the money to see a doctor himself?"

Yuan Huhu raised his iron sand palm and patted Zhong Yiqiu twice, "Haha, look! Even the students in this city can see the unfairness, Wang Guizhi is like a bewitched old woman, thinking of cheating herself every day My son's money!"

After finishing speaking, she sighed again, "They earn their own hard-earned money, and they are reluctant to spend it, but the second brother earns it with his life, so she is also willing!"

Just after drinking two glasses of wine, Xiao Mingye came back unexpectedly. Zhong Yiqiu saw that he didn't show any particularly angry or quarreling expressions on his face, so he felt relieved and added more bowls and chopsticks for him.

Yuan Huhu stood up to look for a wine glass, Xiao Mingye stopped him with his hand, took half of the glass of wine in front of Zhong Yiqiu, "I use this, he is sick and can't drink."

He took the wine glass, and as if nothing had happened, he swallowed what Zhong Yiqiu had drunk just now, his lips glistened with moisture under the light.

Zhong Yiqiu's face burned up.

"Hey! Don't drink like this - just this bottle of wine, what shall we drink after you finish drinking!" Yuan Huo pretended to be dissatisfied.

Xiao Mingye's face was sullen, his eyes were filled with shattered loneliness, even though it was scattered, it made him look more and more lonely without a trace.

He replied in a deep voice, "I'll go buy after drinking." He reached into his pocket and took out two bills and handed them to Zhong Yiqiu, "Go to the supply and marketing agency and help me buy the most expensive one."

Zhong Yiqiu didn't answer, it was the first time he saw Xiao Mingye so discouraged, his nose felt a little sore, and he felt uncomfortable.

Uncle Yi blocked his hand holding the money back, "Don't buy it, there is rice wine at home, just go to Yiqiu to reheat it."

After the hot wine was served, they had already finished a bottle of white wine.

Yuan Huhu began to show his big tongue, "Second brother, listen to me, you can't pay this money! His own two sons—it's your turn, and Yuan Rongzhao has money—"

Xiao Mingye did not speak, took the rice wine and poured a large glass and drank it in one gulp, "I just don't want to see my elder brother suffer."

"What does it have to do with Baochang! It's useless to count him! He does all the work all year round, and he can't get a cent of the money!" Yuan Huo patted him on the shoulder, approached and said, "Listen to me, they are Deliberately forcing you, the old man has thousands of dollars in his hand, and if he doesn't want to spend it, he will die of illness!"

Xiao Mingye reached out to tap the glass and asked Zhong Yiqiu to pour him wine. Zhong Yiqiu saw that his eyes were clear and he didn't look like he was drunk, but when Zhong Yiqiu walked over and bent down to pour the wine, he suddenly made a sneak attack and raised his arms to wrap him in his arms. Laughing to the ear.

The heavy and warm breathing was like scratching, Zhong Yiqiu's ears were numb, she pushed it away, staring at his smirking face, guessing that he must be a little drunk.

It's rare for Uncle Yi to comment on other people's affairs, "Director Yuan is right, don't worry about this matter, he really couldn't take it anymore and went to the hospital by himself."

The smile on Xiao Mingye's face disappeared, and there was deep helplessness in his words, "How can I be more stubborn than my mother? She made me take care of her."

Bang——Yuan Huo slammed his cup on the table and yelled, "Wang Guizhi is a heartless old lady!"

Xiao Mingye drank another cup, let out a long breath, leaned on the back of the chair and muttered, "It's all because of the money, I have to spend it, no one cares about it anymore."

"That's right! It's better to spend your own money than to spend it on these wolf-hearted people." Yuan Huo's eyes were straightened, but his emotions were still surging.

Xiao Mingye took out cigarettes and distributed them to Uncle Yi and him, and lit one himself, "Uncle Tiger, do you think it's okay for me to cover the back mountain? By the way, I also spent the little money in my hand."

Zhong Yiqiu followed him to worry and was thinking about how to deal with this matter. Last time, in order to force Xiao Mingye to give up his job in the city and return to the countryside, his mother could drink pesticides.

As he was thinking about it, he ate peanuts one by one. Xiao Mingye's words were like the morning sun, slowly rising from the bottom of his feet, and the clouds cleared and the mist cleared all the way, reaching his brain and releasing a radiant light.

Yaoyao met his eyes, Xiao Mingye blinked lightly at him a few times in the thin and chaotic mist, Zhong Yiqiu pretended to lower his head, his heart jumped wildly, and he couldn't pinch even a single peanut.

Yuan Laohu turned to look at him, "What are you doing with the back mountain? The back mountain looks like a barren mountain. If you want to cultivate land, you have to cut down trees to open up wasteland!"

"The wasteland is also my own land," he said in a cold, sour voice.

"Okay!" Yuan Huo patted the table, "You should have started your own business a long time ago! Just recently, the higher-ups have arranged that tobacco leaves will be planted next year. The land on the mountain is not good, and there is no food production. Tobacco leaves should be able to grow!"

Xiao Mingye said: "I can plant anything, as long as it is my own land, and let them all know that my money is spent."

Zhong Yiqiu glanced at him, he took off his coat when the drink was hot, and he was wearing a black woolen sweater with the sleeves rolled up to his arms. When he tilted his head and smoked, his eyelashes drooped and trembled slightly.

"No way!" Yuan Huo suddenly straightened up and said.

Zhong Yiqiu raised his heart suddenly, stood up and poured him another glass of wine.

"Baoshan asked for money! How much money do you have?" Yuan Huhu continued.

Uncle Yi interjected, "There is a barren mountain in the back, and they don't even want to be planted. The big trees on the mountain have been stolen by them in the past few years. How much can they ask for?"

"I'll go and find out, no matter how much it is, it will definitely cost money!" Yuan Laohu replied.

Zhong Yiqiu unconsciously moved the stool to Xiao Mingye's side, and sat next to him.

"I only have a few thousand yuan in my hand. If the difference is not too much, I will go out and borrow some from my former comrades in arms." Xiao Mingye said.

Zhong Yiqiu leaned too close, their legs touched each other, feeling Zhong Yiqiu's tense emotions, he lowered his head and chuckled.

"Okay! I'll help you with this matter. Anyway, no one cares about the back mountain!" Yuan Laohu made a final decision in a daze.

Xiao Mingye suddenly grabbed the hand of the other person beside his legs, and wrapped it tightly in his own.
