Chapter 36 - lively
After she figured it out, Chen Xiayue felt refreshed. When Zhang Chengchuan went to the county’s black market to sell sweet potato flour and chive pancakes the next day, she was still sound asleep and had no intention of getting up.
Zhang Chengchuan went out and sold the sweet potato vermicelli. Originally, he planned to sell the chive pancake, but his daughter-in-law didn’t plan to sell it as a snack, so he directly divided the chive pancake into two and gave ten pounds to his wife’s family. , send five pounds to his eldest sister.
When Zhang Chengchuan came back, it was all bright, and it was already past nine o’clock in the morning. As a result, when he returned to the village, he saw a group of people watching the excitement outside a house.
Zhang Chengchuan was very puzzled. He pushed his bicycle to the back of a young man he knew and patted him on the shoulder and asked, “What are you looking at?”
Zhang Changjun, who was patted on the shoulder, was startled, and when he looked back and saw it was him, he gave him a blank look, “You pat me so suddenly, you startled me.”
Zhang Chengchuan also gave him a roll of eyes, “What is this for? What are you looking at?”
“Hey, isn’t this Zhou Jianye, he has trouble with the educated youth? Zhou Jianye rescued Ye Zhiqing who fell into the water early this morning, and the educated youth institute is making a commotion right now.” Zhang Changjun said.
“What’s the trouble?” Zhang Chengchuan was puzzled.
There are also educated youths in their brigade. After ten years, there are not many educated youths who can go back. As a result, the educated youths in their brigade either marry people in the brigade, or marry people from other brigades or towns, and they can insist on not getting married. very few.
And this Ye Zhiqing is in her early twenties this year. She went to the countryside to become an educated youth five years ago. When other people couldn’t keep up with getting married, she insisted on not marrying the people from the brigade, and she has been single until now.
Today, the story of the hero saving the beauty came out. Even if Ye Zhiqing didn’t want to get married, he had to marry Zhou Jianye.
Zhou Jianye is a very capable person. Unlike Zhang Chengchuan, who is a lazy and ignorant second-rate in the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Jianye is a hard-working and capable person in the eyes of everyone.
Zhou Jianye is also quite tall, and works all year round with a strong physique, but he is as thin as most people, and his face is still very good-looking.
The reason why Zhou Jianye hasn’t gotten married until now is because his father doesn’t love his mother and no one wants to marry him.
In their brigade, there are no rules that big, unmarried and small ones can’t get married, so Zhou Jianye’s siblings are almost married.
Zhang Chengchuan still sympathizes with Zhou Jianye, but Zhou Jianye is not a very honest person. His diligence and ability does not mean that he has no heart. That’s it.
Zhang Chengchuan’s relationship with Zhou Jianye was light on the surface, it was just an ordinary relationship with the same village, but in private it was quite good.
Because Zhou Jianye’s hunting skills are good, Zhang Chengchuan sometimes goes up the mountain to hunt with Zhou Jianye, and Zhang Chengchuan helps to sell prey or something. If Zhou Jianye goes to the black market, the Zhou family will easily find out that something is wrong.
And this Ye Zhiqing has been working honestly and peacefully all these years, and he didn’t make trouble like other educated youths.
“What’s going on here? Falling into the water early in the morning? Saving people?” Zhang Chengchuan felt that something was wrong.
“I heard that Ye Zhiqing went to the river to wash clothes in the morning, and Zhou Jianye was ordered to fetch water by the Zhou family, and it happened that Ye Zhiqing fell into the water for a long time.” Zhang Changjun explained.
“Are you kidding me? The river in our brigade is quite wide, but you don’t know how deep the water is?” Zhang Chengchuan knew very well that the width of the river in his brigade was really wide, about seven or eight meters wide, but The water depth was just over one meter, and none of them exceeded one meter five.
Moreover, there are quite a lot of pebbles in the river, and the people in the village wash their clothes in the section of the river where there are many stones. What kind of water will fall in such a situation? Still need help?
Zhang Changjun’s expression was also a little wrong. He smiled bitterly, “Who knows what’s going on? Anyway, Ye Zhiqing is wet, and Zhou Jianye is also wet. At this moment, several female educated youths in the educated youth institute are discussing with Zhou Jianye.”
“What do you want to say? Didn’t it say that the educated youth fell into the water, but Zhou Jianye saved it? It’s fine if you don’t repay the life-saving grace? What can you say?” Zhang Chengchuan felt that his brain was not enough, he always thought he was very smart, why is this He couldn’t understand what Zhang Changjun was saying?
“Those female educated youths felt that since Zhou Jianye had hugged Ye Zhiqing, he still hugged him under such circumstances, so they let Zhou Jianye be responsible.”
“Ye Zhiqing and Zhou Jianye get married, that’s no problem. But those female educated youths and other male educated youth pressured the Zhou family to separate Zhou Jianye.”
“Anyway, the Zhou family doesn’t pay attention to Zhou Jianye, so there is no loss for Zhou Jianye to be separated, right?” Zhang Changjun said with a half-smile.
Zhang Chengchuan: “…”
If the Zhou family splits Zhou Jianye out, the loss will be huge. You must know that Zhou Jianye goes hunting in the mountains from time to time to earn money, and he always earns full work points when he goes to work. The Zhou family is reluctant to give Zhou Jianye a capable person.
It was because they wanted Zhou Jianye to give wholeheartedly to the Zhou family, so the Zhou family did not marry Zhou Jianye. In this way, how could the Zhou family listen to those educated youths and distribute Zhou Jianye?
“No, aren’t these educated youths a bit wide-minded?” Zhang Chengchuan rubbed his forehead and said, have the educated youths collectively lowered their intelligence recently? Otherwise, how can you do such a ridiculous thing?
What does it matter to you if the Zhou family is divided? Even if Ye Zhiqing really married Zhou Jianye, how could they come forward and let the Zhou family split up?
The Zhou family and Zhou Jianye themselves didn’t say that they wanted to split up the family.
“Who knows what’s going on with these educated youths?” Zhang Changjun shrugged helplessly.
The educated youths of their brigade, or the educated youths of the nearby brigades and villages, were doing fairly well, and no such nasty things happened to them. Because there were troops stationed nearby, out of fear of the troops, no one treated the educated youth harshly or did anything bad.
However, this does not mean that the educated youth can take care of other people’s affairs.
“What did the captain say? Is my father here?” Zhang Chengchuan rubbed his forehead.
The Yunhe Brigade’s surname Zhang is a big surname, but Zhou’s surname is also a big surname. This matter in the Zhou family is a bit big. After all, a group of educated youth from the educated youth institute got involved.
But Zhang Chengchuan really wanted to ask those educated youths, what does it matter to you whether the Zhou family is divided? Even if Ye Zhiqing will really marry Zhou Jianye, what does it have to do with you if they are separated?
