In the dead of night, Song Fengchen continued to organize things.

"Bedding, toothbrush, towel, kettle..."

He put aside all the things he had prepared for the bullpen.

Xu Shujian chewed the dried beef, and looked up at Song Fengchen talking to herself from time to time. Under the dim light, Song Fengchen's figure spread to his feet. Not knowing whether it was affected by the atmosphere or something else, his heart suddenly calmed down.

Xu Shujian loosened his grip on the talisman paper, opened the yellow paper in his hand, and put the talisman paper on it. The light from the corner of his eye touched the line on the page directly above the talisman paper, his face was slightly startled.

—I try to love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you, so I want to keep you in my heart forever.

Xu Shujian's eyebrows were warm, and she reached out and closed the pages of the book.

Song Fengchen uncovered two clean sacks from under the bed, and divided the rice and white noodles into seventy catties each and packed them in sacks, planning to send them to the cowshed together.

At this moment, there was a heavy footstep outside the house.

It was the eldest son of the Chen family, "Uncle San, I'll bring you soba noodles and take the bullock cart by the way."

He walked in, put down the sack in his hand, and said hello to Xu Shujian, "Comrade Xu."

"The ration from the village?" Song Fengchen made him a bowl of brown sugar water.

"Yeah." The boss of the Chen family took the sugar water, drank it, wiped the corners of his mouth, he added: "A total of 32 catties of six taels of tartary buckwheat were given to you, all of which helped you grind the noodles. If the shell is less than 30 catties, my mother said that some cassia seeds will make you two pillows."

"Row."

If this is the time when the predecessor was in the past, the 30 kilograms of soba will definitely not be enough to eat, after all, the next season of potatoes will mature in five months.

But who told Song Fengchen to be here now, he had money in his pocket, and he didn't really appreciate these things, so he naturally seemed a little bit disheartened.

"Knowing that Sanshu doesn't like the bitter taste of buckwheat noodles, so I brought you this—" Then, the boss of the Chen family handed Song Fengchen the clay pot the size of an insulated lunch box in his hand.

"what?"

Song Fengchen took it, opened it and looked up, "Honey?"

"Well, my boss found a wild beehive in the woods a few days ago, and he got back two jars of honey after using up the boss’s energy... I think Sanshu, although you don’t like buckwheat noodles, but buckwheat noodles are dipped in honey. The taste is still very good, occasionally change the taste or something." The Chen family boss's eye fell on the white rice surface at his feet, saying that it is impossible not to envy it.

That is, his third uncle can eat rice and white noodles.

Song Fengchen's attention fell elsewhere: "Your boss? Isn't he in college?"

After the college entrance examination system was abolished in 1970, the state stipulated that "the implementation of a combination of popular recommendation, leadership approval, and school review" enrolled "workers, peasants, and soldiers", also known as college students.

It's just that the enrollment level of college students enrolled in this way is uneven, most of them have only junior high school education, and there are not a few of them with elementary school education.

However, this system is a boon to the vast majority of ordinary people, because after the workers, peasants and soldiers graduate, the government will arrange work according to their actual conditions and clarify the cadres' status—this is a road to heaven.

Yuexi Village has a place for workers, peasants and soldiers every two years. The son of the Chen family’s boss entered the school last year. Of course, the Chen family’s boss must have done a lot.

The Chen family smiled with joy: "Isn't this his wife is about to give birth? Anyway, he reads the newspaper every day at school and holds meetings. It's better to ask for leave and come back to serve his wife."

Song Fengchen nodded, this is true.

He thought for a while and said: "Then is he free recently?"

The boss of the Chen family was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, he asked for half a month's leave, why, Sanshu, you have something to do with him?"

"Well," Song Fengchen replied, "The rainy season is approaching, and the rags on the bullpen must be overhauled. I guess I have been busy for a long time, so I want to find someone to help."

"Okay." The Chen family boss promised full mouth: "Then I will let him come and find you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow afternoon, I am going up the mountain in the morning." Song Fengchen said.

"become."

Sending away the Chen family boss, Song Fengchen turned his head. Xu Shujian looked at him. In addition to gratitude, there was an inexplicable smell on his face. He whispered, "Thank you."

Song Fengchen knew in his heart, with a smile in his eyes: "No way, who told me to be greedy for other people's grandsons? I dare not lose my heart!"

The first time I heard this expression of love that was no less than naked, Xu Shujian, who had always been introverted and used to it, didn't have any discomfort. Instead, he blushed, and the complex emotions in his heart were also drowned by restraint and embarrassment at this moment.

He covered his mouth, coughed lightly, and stiffly changed the subject: "It's so late, go to bed early."

"Yeah." Song Fengchen was satisfied, and it was enough.

The next day, Song Fengchen cooked the dendrobium flowers he picked in the morning. Just after lunch, Chen Li, the son of the Chen family's eldest son, arrived.

He also took Xu Shujian over.

In the bullpen, without Xu Shujian's help, Zheng Dehui was busy on his own. After more than a month, he really lost a lot of weight.

He led Song Fengchen to walk around in and out of the small courtyard.

"The original toilet is filled, and a new one is built; the firewood is not good in the house, it is prone to bugs, so put a grass shed outside the kitchen; the Chase shop was also demolished and rebuilt, and clothes and bedding can be thrown away. Throw, wash everything that can't be thrown, I have new ones there..." Song Fengchen decided, "Let's do it for now!"

They will not live long anyway. The purpose of this overhaul is to let them spend the rainy season and winter safely.

Calculated like this, the amount of engineering is actually not too much.

Song Fengchen and the two worked overtime and spent five days before and after the first heavy rain in early June to complete the overhaul of the bullpen.

When Chen Li returned, Song Fengchen stuffed him five yuan, which was wages. In addition, he gave him half a catty of Gastrodia and a small packet of Dendrobium flowers as a gift to Chen Er's sister-in-law.

Thanks to her taking care of Xu Shujian during this time, and the new clothes on the side of the bullpen were also made by Chen Er's sister-in-law with her granddaughter-in-law.

Before Chen Li refused to say anything, Song Fengchen drove him out.

Then the boss of the Chen family came, with two policemen behind him.

The Chen family boss said: "Uncle San, these two public security comrades are asking you something, and you just need to answer truthfully."

Song Fengchen nodded.

Seated, the middle-aged police headed by the police asked, "Where were you yesterday afternoon? What did you do? Who can testify?"

Another slightly younger policeman used pen and paper to record their conversations.

Song Fengchen replied: "In the bullpen, repairing the toilet, Chen Li, the son of Deputy Secretary Chen, can testify."

The middle-aged public security officer glanced at the boss of the Chen family and asked, "Song Aimin, Zhao Weiguo, do you know Li Laishan?"

Song Fengchen was startled, isn't this the name of the friends of the predecessors?

He nodded.

Middle-aged police: "Have you been in contact with them recently?"

"Yes." Song Fengchen replied, and then explained in detail what happened a few days ago.

"It's okay." The middle-aged police didn't ask more, just said: "Thank you Comrade Song for your cooperation."

The young policeman handed the pen and paper to Song Fengchen: "Thank you for signing it."

Song Fengchen glanced roughly at the content on the paper and confirmed that it was similar to what he had just said before signing his name with a pen.

Sending off the two police officers, Song Fengchen looked back at the Chen family boss: "What the **** is going on?"

The Chen family boss looked complicated: "The Li family has been thief."

Li family?

It was the Yue family of the Chen family's boss, the Li family who had adultery with the second daughter-in-law?

Song Fengchen suddenly said, "Song Aimin did they do it?"

The boss of the Chen family nodded: "They were discovered because of the noise when they stole the money. Song Aimin stumbled and fell from the hillside while escaping, and died. Zhao Weiguo and Li Laishan ran away with the money. The Public Security Bureau is now investigating this matter, and it is estimated that the money will not be recovered."

"When something like this happened, the Li family had long been messed up and turned into a pot of porridge. The eldest daughter-in-law was also cruel. She didn't care about the life and death of her sons in the future. She directly took the money from the house and returned to her family, before leaving. He also stabbed the eldest son and the second daughter-in-law of the scandal..."

As a result, the second child who was separated fell silent.

The eldest son of the Chen family concluded: "The old saying goes well. It's not that the time has not been reported, and even the gods have to give the second child this bad breath."

If this were before, the Chen family boss would not talk about his Yue family like that behind his back, but he couldn't bear the Li family losing such a big face this time. Even with him, his face was blank, and he didn't know how many times he had been laughed at. He was upset, so he scolded him.

Song Fengchen thought, the reason why Song Aiguo thought of stealing Li’s money was because the people in Yuexi Village were too familiar with it, and it was a well-known thing that the Li family had money; It is estimated that he was stimulated by his'recently made a fortune' and turned his head.

Killing two birds with one stone is good.
