Compared with the discomfort of the Shui family, the undercurrent in Longkou Village far away in Fangshan was even worse.

Now Zhaoqing is completely in a state of complete distress.

Yes, he also passed the exam. He was admitted to the History Department of Renmin University, which had just resumed enrollment after being suspended for eight years.

But because of this college entrance examination admission notice, his relationship with Xiaoqin faced the most severe test.

What's going on? This matter is really a bit tortuous to say.

Ganqing Zhaoqing and An Xiaoqin thought they were keeping it a secret, but in fact, their good relationship had already fallen into the eyes of interested people.

It's just that those "experienced people" suffer from the lack of actual evidence and can only make vague and vague guesses, making it difficult to openly discuss and express this rosy news.

But it was different after Xiaoqin got two gauze scarves from Zhaoqing.

Xiao Qin happily ties the gauze scarf around her neck every day, which is equivalent to publicizing, displaying and declaring the sweetness of this love to the whole village. This undoubtedly provides ironclad evidence and rich material for people to talk about.

So some people said it was a token of personal love for a lifetime, while some people said it was a betrothal gift in disguise by Zhaoqing to be clever. Anyway, this recent incident has suddenly become a hotly discussed news among the old ladies in the village.

We just didn’t say anything in front of the Zhaoqing family and the brigade secretary. The two families were kept in the dark for the time being.

But the brigade secretary has the "Ear Report God" after all, and his sensitivity to any news is far beyond what others can match.

In addition, Zhaoqing’s own negligence must be blamed.

After the exam, he was busy and making money, or having **** with Xiaoqin. He didn't pay attention to others pointing behind him.

As a result, when these factors come together, something will naturally happen.

On August 8, after Zhaoqing went to the city to deliver eggs to Hong Yanwu, he also bought some handkerchiefs and stockings for Xiaoqin that were used by city girls.

When he came back, he met Xiaoqin who was waiting for him at his usual place at the entrance of the village.

But when he just handed the things to Xiaoqin, the two of them didn't have time to say a few affectionate words. Xiaoqin's two uncles and brothers actually showed up.

Then the two great young men didn't say a word, and completely ignored An Xiaoqin's pleas calling for brother, and insisted on escorting the panicked man and woman to the brigade secretary's house

When they arrived at the door of the brigade secretary’s house. Xiaoqin's father, An Guangsheng, was standing in the yard smoking. He looked very serious and acted like a cadre.

As for people who are very spiritual, Zhaoqing can analyze the problem clearly in the shortest possible time. Not only could he see the anger in Secretary An's heart at a glance, but he also understood that what happened today was an ambush arranged by Secretary An, and he was specially captured by someone.

Well, the two people's underground love affair was caught and officially exposed in front of the brigade secretary.

However, Zhaoqing has a perseverance in his character, and he is also very smart and knows that escaping is useless. Therefore, instead of making any excuses, he made the matter clear directly, saying that he and Xiaoqin were in love, that he sincerely wanted to marry Xiaoqin as his wife.

One sentence made Xiaoqin immediately look at her father pitifully. The expression was both pleading and shy joy. Undoubtedly hoping that his father would agree.

But at this time, Secretary An's face was even more ugly and gloomy.

From the bottom of his heart, he really despised this Zhaoqing.

The young man he likes must have broad shoulders to carry a pole and a thick waist to support the beam. A "model worker" who is strong, knows how to work, and is as strong as a big bull.

He is definitely not a "backward model" like Zhaoqing, who is fair and tender, weak and short of breath, who holds a mobilization meeting to "learn from Dazhai to level the land" and can sleep standing up. Not to mention that the Zhaoqing family is still a feudal landlord wearing a hat.

He really doesn't know whether his daughter is stupid or crazy, so she doesn't want to let so many outstanding young men go. Why did you fall in love with this thin, wicker-like "yangzi"?

If you are stumped, just make a good-looking appearance. Can you write and draw?

That’s useless! It can neither be eaten nor drank, and you will regret it in the future.

At the same time, what made him even more angry was that this matter had already begun.

He had beaten his daughter several times behind his back because of this, but her temper got the best of him, she was stubborn and refused to look back, and she even refused to eat when she was angry.

And his wife felt sorry for her daughter and kept scolding him. It was said that his eldest son, who was an engineer, had died in the mine, and he had an only daughter in front of him. If he broke the girl and starved the child, he would have no one to take care of him until the end of his life.

In this way, he was also vague, thinking that the child was still young and that he would wait until he found a good marriage for his daughter.

I didn’t expect that as soon as I tolerated it, this matter would turn out like this. He doesn't know now whether he regrets or hates it.

So he was holding his breath and only snorted a few times without answering Zhaoqing's words.

Rural people have simple ideas and don’t pay attention to roundabout ways. In this case, of course, the first thing to do is to ask Zhaoqing and Xiaoqin if they have done anything out of the ordinary.

This one made Xiaoqin blush on the spot.

Zhaoqing also knew the weight, so he immediately swore a serious promise. He and Xiaoqin are absolutely innocent and have not done anything to harm their reputation.

Secretary An finally looked better after hearing this, but then he asked Zhaoqing why he wanted to marry Xiaoqin.

"The few work points you have a year are not as many as those of an educated youth. Can you support Xiaoqin? I know how much money you have made selling eggs recently, but that is 'three self, one package, four freedoms' (i.e. "private land, free market, self-financing, household responsibility" and "free land rental, free loans, free employment, free trade". It was proposed by Chairman Liu in April 1959). Your family is too poor and has a lot of debt, so I don’t care about you in the future. This is not going to work!”

These words immediately made Zhaoqing stuck. He hesitated and couldn't speak.

Secretary An is now justified.

"Want to get engaged to my daughter? You should go back and figure it out before you come back. If you can't figure it out, you have to break it off. I'm not afraid you won't like to hear it. If your mother marries your father, you'll have to eat it for the rest of your life. How much pain have you suffered? I can’t let my daughter be confused again!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he stuffed all the scarf around Xiaoqin's neck and the things Zhaoqing brought back to Zhaoqing. Regardless of Xiaoqin's pleas, the two nephews dragged Xiaoqin back to the house and left Zhaoqing to dry in the courtyard.

After that night, Xiaoqin didn't leave the house for several days. She was obviously under house arrest by Secretary An.

Zhaoqing himself was also scratching his head and thinking hard about a solution.

But under the system of this era, what else can he think of? At this time, I really looked forward to getting into college.

Fortunately, things turned around secretly. But this is not because of the college entrance examination admission notice, but because Xiaoqin's mother has done the ideological work for her daughter as the brigade secretary.

Xiaoqin's mother first told Secretary An, "His dad. There is no way in the world that can break up a marriage and get a good result if the two are not separated. Look at the couples in our village who quarrel, and they don't have a good relationship. It was all because I had someone else in my heart. Even though I reluctantly got married according to my elders' wishes, I was still thinking about someone else in private. How many family troubles did this cause?"

When Secretary An thought about it, this was really the case. He knew the situation in the village best, and there were a lot of "chaos" between men and women. Almost all of the people who were hooking up with each other behind the scenes were those who had **** with each other back then. Many children obviously have tendencies, but no one can do anything about it. If they make a fuss, it will be a shame. Those who suffer will have to close the door and beat their wives. It’s just a shame and nothing to mention...

Xiaoqin's mother saw Secretary An's worried look on his face and knew that he had something on his mind, so she struck another one while the iron was hot.

She said that the An family in Longkou Village originally had a common surname. For generations, they were related to both Meng and Gong. Coupled with the current chaos and the closer blood relations, the children of this generation can only marry outside the family.

But they only have one daughter, and it is difficult to recruit a son-in-law. Since Zhaoqing’s mother An Daniel and Secretary An have already released the fifth server, it’s better to help them.

In fact, everything is secondary. The important thing is that from now on, my daughter will be able to stay in front of their eyes, so that if there is an illness or disaster, she will not have to scratch it. From now on, when I get older, I can still see my grandson and granddaughter at any time. Dear, we are hot together, is there anything more affordable than this?

These words were really about the Reclamation Festival, and Secretary An was really tempted right away.

He thought for a while and then said, "It's not that I don't like Zhaoqing at all. At least this guy is brave enough to propose marriage to me in person. And his family is really smart and smart. Not to mention the great contribution his father made to the village back then. Zhaoqing also had some inherited skills. He could make a fortune by studying, painting, playing with flowers and plants, fishing and hunting birds. He, no one else in the village can do it. But the problem is that he can’t survive in the long run? He has another lazy muscle, what kind of work can he do..."

Xiao Qin’s mother laughed. He said, "You, a brigade secretary, can't you arrange a good job for your son-in-law? You still treat Zhaoqing as an outsider. He can write and draw, be a secretary, manage the warehouse, what else can't he do? In my opinion, he is a member of the brigade. The level of cashiers and accountants is not as high as this kid."

These words made Secretary An suddenly enlightened on the spot. He said that he was confused and couldn't help but laugh.

It was actually quite good that things have reached this point. But who would have thought that God loves to joke with people so much, he has to take things to the extreme.

It was at this time that the college entrance examination admission notice was sent to the brigade headquarters in Longkou Village.

The reality is really shocking to Secretary An. Of the three production brigades under the Jiulongshan People's Commune, not a single educated youth from the capital had passed the exam, but it happened to be the Zhaoqing High School in Longkou Village.

Yes, this is a good thing, and it is definitely a good thing for the Zhaoqing family!

Secretary An knew that with this piece of paper, Zhaoqing would be able to fulfill his father's long-cherished wish and go to university in the capital. It won't be a problem to stay in the city and eat public food after graduation. Otherwise, in the future, the official hat on his head will be bigger than his.

But on the other hand, this is really not a good thing for his family.

Judging from the educated youth, he never believed in any guarantees at all, nor did he believe in "taking root in the countryside for a lifetime." He knew in his heart that those educated youths would leave sooner or later, so many people in the capital were attentive to Xiaoqin, but he would interfere.

And now Zhaoqing can't keep her anymore. What will he do if he leaves his daughter?

It’s only been three or four years since I’ve been there. What kind of girl isn’t in college? His daughter is at the junior high school level. Can you guarantee that you won’t be dazzled?

In the end, he changed his mind. His Xiaoqin waited for three or four years in vain and turned into an old girl.

Besides, what if you don’t change your mind? Take Xiaoqin to the city? Can Xiaoqin adapt?

Xiaoqin has no job, so she can only be a housewife when she goes to the city. Moreover, since the old couple cannot see their daughter, aren't they trying to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain?

He is not someone who wants to follow the crowd and try to climb high, not to mention he has been the brigade secretary for twenty years. I have seen and heard too much. He has seen people fall from official positions, and he has also seen people rise like rockets.

In his eyes, in fact, whether there are cadres or not, everything in urban and rural areas is all nonsense. No matter how big the truth is, it's all nonsense. If you want to explain it, he can explain it better than anyone else.

He doesn't ask what kind of person his son-in-law is, he just wants to be good to his daughter. The whole family, young and old, can stay together and have hot meals to eat. These are the best days.

Perhaps to outsiders, this idea seems a bit silly. But whether he is stupid or not is not just a matter of words. His personal perspective is different. He will not do anything to save face and suffer.

So, this is the university admission notice that most people are envious of, enough to awe Zhaoqing. Now it has become a new obstacle between Zhaoqing and An Xiaoqin.

Secretary An had to reconsider his daughter’s marriage.
