But lunch was not eaten at the village party secretary's house, but in the courtyard of the Ji's house. In order to thank Ji Yanzhi for his help, the village party secretary also took out his treasured Wuliangye, and bragged while drinking with Old Man Ji.

Several children from the family and the child from the village party secretary ran to the kang table in the main house to eat.

The food is the same, the big pots of potatoes are cooked with rabbit, pork is stewed with vermicelli and cabbage.

The half-year-old children ate very happily, only Ji Mini picked and picked, eating meat just bit the thin ones and stuffed the fat ones into the bowl of Zeng Yuan Dynasty.

Zeng Yuan was also used to it, and never felt that Ji Mini's behavior had anything to do with it. Even under the laughter of the younger brothers and sisters, he ate without changing his face, and picked up a chopsticks of rabbit meat for Ji Mini.

"The rabbits raised at home seem to be pregnant again."

"Hold up more grass and come back."

Raising rabbits at home is also a feature that Jijia Village has developed in the past few years. At the beginning, Ji Yanzhi went to the mountains to catch more than 20 rabbits with a male and a female half and went home to raise them. A meat dish.

Gradually, the people in the village learned about it. Don't say that rabbits are one child in about 20 days, two or three months, they can grow up by just feeding grass, and there are about ten rabbits in a litter. With this calculation, it is really possible to let everyone in the family eat a piece of meat from time to time. Compared with the pigs raised by the village collective all the year round, the pigs raised in the village were killed.

"Well, go in the afternoon and pick more wild vegetables by the way."

After eating, the village party secretary and Wang Chunhua cleaned up the kitchen together, and chatted with them by the way. Wang Chunhua mainly listened to what the village party secretary said, and also heard that the village party secretary was dissatisfied with the marriage. Wang Chunhua didn't say much, but he spoke to Ji Yanzhi privately.

Regarding other people’s homes, Ji Yanzhi wouldn’t say much even if he had the ability, but just perfunctory Wang Chunhua: “Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the road is their own way. Only you know if it’s appropriate. As outsiders, On weekdays, it’s okay to help a little bit. But this involves major events in life, so you can’t speak more, lest you complain."

"I'm not that stupid." Wang Chunhua said naggingly: "There is no such thing as an idle mind. Who cares about other people's affairs and who suffers."

"Well, other people's affairs should be less mixed."

The reason why Ji Yanzhi helped buy bricks and tiles was that the village party secretary came to him to speak. If you change to someone else, even if the eldest daughter of the village party secretary finds an educated youth son-in-law, Ji Yanzhi will not agree to Zhou Jianguo's request for tobacco and alcohol.

Ji Yanzhi is very casual in doing things, but it is also contaminated with the characteristics of the villagers of Jijia Village. He is very xenophobic and will not easily believe in foreign educated youths.

The days passed day by day like this, and soon turned the year round, and it was another spring.

The eldest daughter of the village party secretary had married that Zhou Jianguo. At this time, the enrollment quota of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University was allocated, and Jijia Village happened to have one quota. Now Jijia Village has been blown up, and the people in the village are okay. The educated youths in the educated youth academy rush to the village office and commune to find ties. It is said that for such a quota, the female educated youth who returned also sacrificed voluntarily, which has brought closer relations with individual cadres.

All of a sudden, not only Jijia Village, but also the entire surrounding village team with educated youth going to the countryside, basically made a mess. Village Chief Ji was so angry that he almost gave Ji Yanzhi the place to go to college, letting him figure it out.

This can be regarded as pulling Ji Yanzhi into the water, but Ji Yanzhi's brutality, but Shili Eight Villages are famous. He did not dare to come to the door to make friendship, even if he has always been spying on Zeng Yuan’s adopted son and future son-in-law, Su Yinghua, who has never given up despite Ji Mini’s sharp teeth, is also at home when Ji Yanzhi is at home. He didn't dare to wander around Ji's house anymore.

Holding the quota, Ji Yanzhi first asked who at home wanted to read it.

The children in the family, except for the youngest Ji Xiaobao, are all studying. The biggest Zeng Yuanchao is about to graduate from high school, and his idea is to join the army. Ji Yanzhi has no objection, and has even begun to use contacts to pave the way for Zeng Yuan to join the army after graduating from high school, and strive to make him a pacesetter as soon as he joins the army.

As for the marriage, Ji Yanzhi meant it was not in a hurry. However, both Zeng Yuan Dynasty and Ji Mini had the intention to make a decision before Zeng Yuan Dynasty was enlisted in the army, so Ji Yanzhi followed the wishes of his children and gave them a simple marriage, only waiting for Ji Mini to reach eighteenth. marry.

"I'm not going, I heard that there is basically no study there." Ji Mini rolled her eyes and said without surprise.

Zeng Hongwei: "The educated youths can run diligently in order to compete for this place. If it weren't for this time, Abba hadn't gone to the deep mountains and old forests but stayed at home, you see, educated youths would have come."

Ji Mini: "If you dare to come to the door, I will scold it directly."

Zeng Hongwei smirked, her good sister and future sister-in-law, because of what Su Yinghua and Su educated youth did, Ji Mini can be regarded as disgusting the educated youth in the educated youth academy, even if it is Zhou Jianguo, the eldest son-in-law of the village party secretary, don’t Want to get Ji Mini's good face.

This is something the whole family knows, and I never thought about whether Ji Mini would be impolite.

Firstly, Ji Mini is the virtue, her mother dare to dislike it, let alone an outsider; secondly, Su Yinghua is too annoying, not to mention the mutual affection between Zeng Yuan Dynasty and Ji Mini, it is very good, even if not Regarding the relationship, what's the matter with a girl who tried to post up for some small calculations that couldn't make it to the table?

Besides, Zeng Yuanchao and Ji Mini are already engaged, and they are unmarried couples. Isn't Su Yinghua a prankster who sticks upside down? It can be said that in the entire old Ji family, no one is waiting to see Su Yinghua, and even the other educated youths in the educated youth academy are not happy.

"I don't want it?" Ji Yan asked, not surprisingly.

The children shook their heads, and even Ji Xiaobao, who was not yet at school age, made a fun together and shook his head together with everyone's rhythm.

"That's OK, let me ask Hua Nier if she wants this place!"

After speaking, Ji Yanzhi got up and left and went to Ji Sanhe's house not far away. Just in the slack season, Ji Sanhe was also lying on his head at home, and didn't move much. Seeing Ji Yanzhi's arrival, Ji Sanhe was still wondering what was wrong with Ji Yanzhi.

Ji Yanzhi: "Know about the number of places in the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University that has caused trouble in Jijia Village recently. The village party secretary gave me the place because of the burden."

Ji Sanhe was stunned: "Here, isn't the village party secretary's Big Nizi married Zhou Jianguo? Why did the village party secretary give you a place in the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers instead of Zhou Zhiqing?"

Ji Yanzhi: "Just getting married, are you willing to give your son-in-law who is not at ease the opportunity to abandon his wife?"

It is natural that Ji Yanzhi did not comment on the behavior of the village party secretary. But if Ji Yanzhi were the village party secretary, he would put everything on the surface. Will not prevent her daughter from marrying an educated youth, but will analyze the powerful relationship to the daughter one by one, and let the son-in-law make his own decision.

If the son-in-law insists on desperate to return to the city, even if he abandons his wife and abandon his son, then he will retaliate for his daughter and let the son-in-law die early and super live.

This is the principle that the prudent Ji Yanzhi has always believed in the comparison between the baht and the baht, and the retribution must be paid.

"Hua Nier, do you want to read it?" Ji Yanzhi spoke out the purpose of his visit very simply and neatly. "Although Hua Nier is still young, it's okay to read it."

Ji Sanhe: "Brother, can you let me think about it?"

Ji Yanzhi: "What do you think about it, it's not you going to study. What about Hua Nier, I, the uncle, will ask her personally."

Ji Sanhe: "Hua Ni'er followed A Zhen back to her family's home, and she won't be back until the evening. Or else, how about I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"Okay, why not?" Ji Yanzhi smiled, "I'm going back." Instead, Ji Yanzhi walked out of Ji Sanhe's house. When he came back, it just so happened that Ji Yanzhi met a few educated youths strolling nearby. There are men and women, but the two-skinned face always likes to ping, Su Yinghua, who shows that he is weak, is also there.

"Uncle, come out for a walk!" One of the educated youths named Li Guozhu greeted Ji Yanzhi.

"Um."

Ji Yanzhi nodded faintly, and then strode towards home indifferently, faintly, and there was a conversation behind him. It is said that this Jijia Village is really weird, the land is not less planted, but the ration is only so small, and it is necessary for the villagers to engage in hunting every two or three years.

And since Ji Yanzhi's relaxation, in the past, it was Ji Yanzhi's business to lead a team into the deep mountains and old forests to hunt.

Last winter, the educated youths curiously asked to participate, but Ji Yanzhi hadn't spoken yet. The village cadres pouted back on the grounds that they would easily drag their legs after entering the mountain.

At that time, the educated youths were not happy, and they clamored about discrimination, begging the commune to make the decision for them.

This stabbed another hornet's nest, and even Zhou Jianguo, who had just married the eldest daughter of the village party secretary, suffered a long period of blindness.

Of course, the lives of other educated youths are even more difficult. In the past, the village cadres had to mention a few words about them, saying that they had a cold place and that they had to store rations and firewood before winter came.

Let these educated youths who don't obey the discipline and think about making trouble all the time make their own minds.

Dare to make trouble is mostly idle, so idle I feel that life in the country is not easy.

I have to say that this trick is really good, and soon the reality is that the church hasn't faded away how the educated youth who like to look at people from the top of the city and like to look at people behave.

What to do if there is no firewood to burn the kang in the winter? I have to spend money to buy it from the villagers.

It is a pity that the educated youths have offended the villagers deeply, and the villagers are really unwilling to make this money. He said in a unified way that the firewood in his home was not enough, and while it was still snowing and the ground hadn't frozen, he went up to the mountain to collect firewood.

As for the exchange of money for eggs for dried vegetables, heh, we don’t have enough food for ourselves, so what to change.

In short, if it wasn't for Zhou Jianguo among the educated youths, they might not have survived this winter.

The winter in the north is really howling cold, which is not the same as the cold to the bones in the south. Most of the educated youth are located in the south, on the cottage, and even in Beijing. They live in the north, except for the educated youth in the north, the other educated youths are really not used to the weather in the north.

However, the idea of ​​the villagers in Jijia Village is to use reality to teach the educated youth how to behave. They do not really want to kill them. Therefore, they will always collect and dry the spring and summer season appropriately when the educated youth feel they can’t stand it. The dried vegetables, firewood, etc. were exchanged for the educated youths, which finally allowed them to survive the winter smoothly, and at the same time they learned to bow to reality.

As for why they wandered around, in addition to taking a walk, it is estimated that they also wanted to find Zhou Jianguo to find out about the number of places at the Workers' Peasants and Soldiers University. After Zhou Jianguo and Ji Dani got married, the homestead was chosen near the end of the village, very close to the educated youth academy, Ji Sanhe’s home, and Ji Yan’s home, so this is also why Ji Mini would encounter educated youth strolling nearby from time to time. reason.

Ji Yanzhi was right. The so-called strolling of a few educated young men and women really wanted to ask Zhou Jianguo about the number of places in the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers.

But the problem is that there is only one place in the Workers' Peasants and Soldiers University. Which production brigade is not close to its own people, even if it is not close to its own people, it is a good relationship with the educated youth. Zhou Jianguo knew in his heart that he had just got married and the Yue family was worried that he would not be given a place in the Workers' Peasants and Soldiers University.

But Zhou Jianguo couldn't ask for it. It doesn't mean that Lin Qinghe, who grew up in a yard, couldn't ask for it. So why did he think that he was also an educated youth who went to the countryside and jumped into the team, and he helped the old man to ask the old man to cede the workers, peasants, and soldiers university places to the educated youths.

So a few educated youth came to the door, and Zhou Jianguo had nothing to say directly. He also said that he had already handed over the quota to Ji Dajun (Ji Yanzhi) to deal with him. If he wanted to, he would go to him.

The impression of the educated youth on Ji Dajun (Ji Yanzhi) is not easy to provoke. However, the number of places in the Workers' Peasants and Soldiers University is no less than the exhaustion of the road to home, so when Zhou Jianguo said this, they cheekily turned to Ji Dajun (Ji Yanzhi).

Ji Yanzhi can't look down on the educated youth's superior posture. As soon as he had a face-to-face meeting, he directly pouted back. The educated youth are not convinced? Then hold back, he is not their parents, and he still cares about their lives?

Just a few days later, when it was confirmed that Ji Huani had no intention of studying at the Workers' Peasants and Soldiers University, she felt that studying that was a waste of time and youth. So Ji Yanzhi dumped the ‘burden’ back and let the village party secretary take care of it himself.

The village party secretary has a sad face, what can he do about it. My eldest daughter meant to give her son-in-law a place in the Workers’, Peasants’ and Soldiers University. But Ji Dani didn't know. The more she said this, the village party secretary became more worried about his son-in-law Zhou Jianguo. Even if the son-in-law said that he didn't need it, and asked him if he could give Lin Qinghe the place, the village party secretary also had lingering fears. But in the end, he chose to give Lin Qinghe the place, let him go to the Workers' Peasants and Soldiers University, and then left the countryside and returned to the city.

Days passed by like this, and in a blink of an eye spring passed and autumn came, and the new year was spring.

A major event occurred in the cold winter last year. Ji Erniu, who had been missing for a few days, was found in an old forest in the deep mountains by a group of people who had gone hunting in the mountains. At that time, Ji Yanzhi was also there, and he glanced at it and confirmed that Ji Erniu originally planned to sneak back to Jijia Village through a shortcut. However, he was out of luck and met the blind wolf, so he lost his life and lost half of his body.

Out of the humane spirit, Ji Yanzhi pulled Ji Erniu's bones back and took them home. The old lady Ji met, no matter how badly he hates the son of Ji Erniu, she cried fiercely, and secretly burned him a lot of paper money to make her feel better.

Ji Yanzhi knew what Mrs. Ji did in private, and she didn't mean to stop it.

Why stop?

Most mothers are like that. No matter how bad their sons are, how hateful they are, even if they are not filial to the extreme, they will have a bit of concern for their sons apart from the chill, let alone seeing him pass away and die so miserably, the heart will be uncomfortable. Even if he guessed that he sneaked up the mountain road back to Jijia Village, he didn't have any good thoughts.

After Ji Erniu's death, the city's daughter-in-law he later married immediately remarried, and Ji Jingui and Ji Yingui were sent back.

He is thin and slender, and he knows that he has not suffered less from the stepmother at first glance.

Because of Ji Jingui and Ji Yingui's return, the old man Ji moved back to the old house with Mrs. Ji. After all, it is impossible for Ji Yanzhi, who already has seven children in his family, to help his Ji Erniu raise his son, so the old couple can only choose to take Ji Jingui and Ji Yingui back to live in the old house.

Ji Yanzhi did not respond to the decision of the old man and the old lady. However, since then, the pension fee of three yuan per month has been automatically increased to five yuan, plus Ji Sanhe gave two yuan, and the two old men took Ji Jingui and Ji Yingui with them, so life is very easy.

This happened in 1970.

Afterwards, Ji Erniu stared at him secretly, and the life went smoothly. A ten-year storm passed unknowingly. The country was back on track and the college entrance examination resumed.

Different from the four children in the original plot, Ji Dabao, Ji Mini, and Ji Caoni, who are fifteen years old, are all admitted to college. After graduating from high school, Zeng Yuan Korea was recommended by the army to a military academy. Zeng Yuanjun was admitted to a prestigious university in Beijing, while Zeng Hongwei was admitted to a normal school in the local city and planned to be a teacher.

Except for the youngest, Ji Xiaobao, who is still in junior high school because of his insufficient age, the fact that six of the seven children in a family were admitted to college caused a sensation in the local area. On the day the six children went to school, the mayor and county magistrate all came to see off, and the scene was very lively.

Ji Yanzhi also went to Beijing. He bought seven houses there, including a small western-style house, and some houses with only a small courtyard, which could not even be called a courtyard house. As a family property, he gave seven children. By drawing lots by luck, the seven properties were given to the children one by one.

Ji Mini was lucky enough to get a small western-style building alone. So the small suites that Ji Yuanchao got, about 60 square meters, didn't need them, saying that they were left for Ji Yanzhi and Wang Chunhua to live in.

"No." Wang Chunhua retorted with a smile: "Your dad said that you want to get a courtyard house. So, let's take the house for the aid to the DPRK. Renting it out every month is also a good expense."

"Listen to your grandmother." Ji Yanzhi waved his hand and spoke very untactly: "Anyway, you got the house by luck. I think your daughter-in-law and husband will have nothing to say in the future."

Isn't there nothing to say?

Ji Yanzhi prepared seven sets of properties, impartial, even if Zeng Yuanchao and Ji Mini saw the right eye when they were growing up, and domestic sales have solved the lifelong event, Ji Yanzhi still asked them to draw lots according to the standards of their sons and daughters. .

Even if the rest of the children will marry someone, and the wife will take a wife, they heard that the family property was divided by lottery, and their own partners will only mumble the other half of their luck, but they dare not say anything. Later, I bought a lot of houses, and there was nothing wrong with the old couple who had a good time just by collecting rent.

In Ji Yanzhi's life as the army of Ji, he was busy in the first half of his life, educating his seven sons and daughters to become talents, and in the second half of his life, he would grow flowers and collect rent leisurely. Over the past few decades, each of the seven sons and daughters has become talented, and all have contributed to the entire country and society. The next generation of grandchildren and grandchildren have not a single guilty, and they are all very capable.

Since they settled in Beijing, Ji Yanzhi and Wang Chunhua have rarely returned to their hometowns. However, in my hometown, when Ji Yanzhi is mentioned, the entire Jijia Village and Shili Eight Townships are all with You Rongyan, and I admire Ji Yanzhi, a veteran who educates his biological and adopted children.

++++++++++I am the dividing line of the next story++++++++++++

"Ji Yan, let's go to Diba and go to Diba in a moment."

"Ji Yan, thank you for inviting us to play this time. It's better for you, you deserve to be someone with a mine at home. Well, when you go to Di, you can ask the waiter to bring a few bottles of Lafite for 82 years. "

Ji Yanzhi has just arrived, and he hasn’t had time to accept the memory. I don’t even know which drama he is singing now. Only from the two friends on the left and right that seem to be compliments, but there is a hint of malice, judging by his identity this time, It is estimated to be a fool.

In fact, Ji Yanzhi's identity this time is a rich second generation. He comes from the Inner Mongolia region. He has hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep in his family. In popular words, he does have mines at home. But it was a bit silly. When I first came to the Foreign Languages ​​Institute in Beijing to report, I spoke impure Mandarin, saying that the tuition is really expensive, and his grandmother sold a (yak) cow to collect the tuition for him.

The classmates began to jokingly claim that he had a mine at home, but secretly complained about him pretending to be a rich man. In the eyes of narrow-sighted people, if you are really rich, who would eat big white steamed buns, vegetables and pickles every day.

But don't think about it, the original owner Ji Yan is born in the environment, meat, poultry and dairy products are tired of eating, but vegetables such as vegetables are quite luxurious, the original owner Ji Yan left the endless prairie, shouldn't he just stare at the vegetables to eat.

In his eyes, even pickled vegetables, kimchi, etc., are incomparable to meat, poultry and dairy products, but he does not want to behave like this, but in the eyes of his classmates, he has become a second-generation pretending to be rich.
