Chapter 121 Epilogue 1978...matchmaking
"Secretary Liu, team leader, and all the members of the engineering team, we are working hard to connect canals, tap water, and electricity, for no other reason than to build Xiaoxi Village, develop Xiaoxi Village, and make our lives better. The better!”
Zhang Jiancheng rarely talks much in front of everyone, but now he took the initiative to say these words. He was loud, upright and clear, and coupled with his always leading by example approach, no one doubted the sincerity in his words.
Wang Dayou patted the table and stood up and said, "That's good! Jiancheng came back from the army. His consciousness is higher than that of ordinary people, and ordinary people can't compare!"
Zhang Jiancheng continued: "Today the project was completed, and the leaders of the commune sent condolences. We are all very happy. This is a day of celebration. Uncle Dayou, let's start the celebration meeting. The official duties of the team will be placed at the brigade meeting. Don't scan." Everyone is happy!"
"Yes, Comrade Jiancheng is right!" Secretary Liu of the Commune was very satisfied with Zhang Jiancheng and said, "Captain Wang will post the list of candidates for your election later and find a day for everyone to vote!"
"Okay, okay! Let's start celebrating! Light the bonfire!" Wang Dayou greeted and asked to light the bonfire, finally skipping this unexpected episode.
Cheng Guoqiang returned to his seat. Now no one around him paid attention to him, not even the Cheng family's parents.
Xiu Xiu watched from a distance as Cheng Guoqiang's family was rejected by the surrounding villagers and stayed away from the excitement, and she finally felt a little better.
After all, the villagers are simple and honest, and they have all been taken care of by Zhang Jiancheng. Although Cheng Guoqiang used regulations to make things difficult for others and used people's greed to create obstacles, in the end, in the eyes of the masses,
His eyes are still sharp, Cheng Guoqiang is a self-destructive person!
The bonfire was lit, sweet potatoes were placed on the shelves around it, and songs began to play on the radio. The first song was "Nanniwan".
"Don't just sit there, get up and jump!" The third master stopped smoking his pipe, took out the waist drum he had hidden at home, and stood by the bonfire and started playing.
He learned it when he went to Guanzhong in his early years, and he hasn't used it for many years. As soon as he beat it, the drum beat was booming, which immediately heightened the atmosphere.
At first, everyone was a little cautious, but with the encouragement of the third master, they all got up and danced around the bonfire to the beat of the drums.
Dandan was dancing in Feng Laogen's arms, scurrying after him. Feng Laogen couldn't hold him anymore. Zhao Xiaosheng simply handed the child to Zhang Jiancheng and said, "You can dance with me! Don't you think the child is anxious?" !”
As he said that, he pulled Xiuxiu and made the child jump around in front of Zhang Jiancheng. Zhang Jiancheng was stiff all over, and Xiuxiu was also a little embarrassed. Only Dandan and Zhao Xiaosheng were particularly excited.
The fire is strong, and the sweet potatoes will be roasted in a short while. Everyone eats them, each person shares a little, and the food is full of atmosphere.
Jiancheng and Xiuxiu each had half a sweet potato, with a layer of black paste on the outside and steaming in the heart. Xiuxiu broke off a small piece and blew it before putting it in Dandan's mouth. Dandan opened her mouth and pointed hard with her little finger. Zhang Jiancheng's mouth: "Catch (give) to daddy..."
Xiu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then broke off another piece and handed it to Zhang Jiancheng's mouth. Dandan smiled as she watched Zhang Jiancheng lower his head and open his mouth, carefully taking the piece of sweet potato from Xiu Xiu's hand.
I don’t know why Dandan was so happy. She clapped her little hands and pointed at her father’s mouth and said to Xiuxiu: "
Even caught dad to eat..."
Xiuxiu curled her lips and felt that the child was getting smarter, so she broke off a small piece and handed it to Zhang Jiancheng...
This scene was seen by the surrounding villagers, and they all raised eyebrows and whispered, but the whispers were no longer as unpleasant as they used to be when gossiping about Xiuxiu and Jiancheng, but they were kind-hearted blessings.
The villagers are now privately worried about the young couple. Everyone can see that the family of three looks very sweet, but they all know Xiuxiu's attitude and dare not say anything.
No one understands Xiuxiu's thoughts, but everyone understands Xiuxiu's temper. No one can make peace with anyone she doesn't want to be with, so be sure to be anxious!
Everyone saw it and held it in. Only Zhao Xiaosheng couldn't hold it in and blurted out quite loudly: "Xiu'er! How can you and Jiancheng be like outsiders? When you go to the commune, hurry up and register. When you get back, I'll give it to you two." The wedding can be done!"
As soon as he shouted, the villagers quickly shut up and stopped whispering. As expected, they all saw Xiuxiu's face change.
The world seemed to have stopped in front of Xiu Xiu. Xiu Xiu slowly retracted the hand she had given out. Zhang Jiancheng's face was particularly radiant by the firelight and lights. He looked at her with unusually deep eyes.
Xiuxiu had long discovered that the way Zhang Jiancheng looked at her was different from the way he looked at others, because Xiuxiu had never been paid attention to by anyone in her two lives. This look often made her feel soft, heartbroken, and heartbroken. !
She never dared to face up to this complicated mood, and was unwilling to explore the deep reasons for it because she was afraid of the consequences of such in-depth investigation.
The happy and cute look of Dandan being held in Zhang Jiancheng's arms reminded Xiuxiu of her past life when she worked hard to take care of her children.
During the day at home, I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest.
She turned around and saw everyone looking at them happily, and she felt even more panicked. Destiny seemed to be pushing her onto a path that was almost similar to her previous life. Xiuxiu's position became clear instantly.
No matter how deep Zhang Jiancheng's eyes were, he couldn't shake Xiu Xiu's extremely clear stance. She stood up, looked at the warm bonfire, turned around and left!
"Xiu'er!" Zhao Xiaosheng threw the sweet potato aside and said, "It's over! We've stirred a hornet's nest! Xiu'er!" and chased after her.
The bonfire is still burning, burning out silent sighs...
For the next few days, Xiuxiu didn't talk much to Zhang Jiancheng, let alone Zhao Xiaosheng. He had to be kicked out if he even wanted to take advantage of her.
When the villagers saw Xiuxiu, they didn't dare to mention it. They all felt puzzled privately, saying that Xiuxiu didn't like Zhang Jiancheng. This was impossible, but why didn't Xiuxiu want to? They were obviously as good as one family. Got it!
Because Wang Dayou was always unsure about the vice-captain's affairs, he decided to let everyone vote before the Spring Festival. He posted the public list on the bulletin board overnight and placed a ballot box in front of the brigade for practical use. Loudspeakers announced that villagers had come to vote.
When the deadline came, Wang Dayou took advantage of the warm weather at noon to gather the villagers to the primary school playground to vote. Everyone was quite reluctant to help him in the cold wind and complained:
"What kind of vote are you singing! Who can not vote for completion!"
"That's right! Besides Zhang Jiancheng, who else can take on the role of deputy captain?"
Everyone's trust in Zhang Jiancheng is still very high, but some people muttered in a low voice: "Then don't tell me, I heard that there are candidates who can be privately
A lot of work has been done down there! "
This muttering was heard by everyone around, who were surprised and asked: "What kind of work do you do in private? Do you work for your family?"
The muttering man hesitated and stopped talking.
Seeing the man hesitating, the villagers suddenly understood: "You won't be blamed for your work and didn't vote for Jiancheng!"
