”I'm waiting for you!” Zhu Ying suddenly extended her arms and hugged me tightly: ”I've been waiting for you to say my goodbyes, and another question is if you can live together with Zhu Ying!”
I stood there like a wooden log, not saying a word, but my heart was surging with emotions: So it turns out that Zhu Ying had already planned to give me an explanation a few years ago, but she was still four years older than me!
Zhu Ying released me, wiped my tears, and said, ”It's really silly to think back to what happened that year. Can Zhu Ying be together with Gu Zi? After all, Zhu Ying was 4 years older than Gu Zi! So, I'm married to Qin Zijian! ”
”Qin Zijian!” I said in amazement, ”Wasn't Qin Zijian sentenced to be the secretary of the Northern District Committee a while ago? ”You and him …”
”Bones, you're not wrong!” Zhu Ying stuck out her chest and said: ”Qin Zijian is the Northern District Committee's secretary who was sentenced to ten years imprisonment not long ago!”
I stared at Zhu Ying suspiciously. Zhu Ying wiped away her tears and started to recount her hard work path.
Qin Zijian was 20 years older than him. The year Zhu Ying returned to the city, the two of them were married.
At that time, Qin Zijian, who was 46 years old, was the Vice Minister of the organizational department of the South Heaven City Committee. The Minister of the organizational department of the City Committee was at the Vice Hall level, while the Vice Minister was at the county level.
Zhu Ying was not a person with a high realm. The reason why she went to the Tong Village Branch Sect was to get a five star volunteer certificate;
If Zhu Ying could find a job in the city, she could take care of her father who was paralyzed on the bed;
For a 5-star volunteer certificate, Zhu Ying worked in the mountain area for a whole three years.
Originally, the tutorial period was only set at one year, but Zhu Ying and the children of Tong Village had established an irreconcilable relationship;
Zhu Ying said that she enjoyed every Sunday, because every Sunday I was able to return to Tong Village Academy to accompany her in giving her joy.
Zhu Ying and I cooked together and went up the hill to dig up herbs and vegetables. At night, we sat on the hot brick bed under the bright lights and talked.
The house Zhu Ying lived in at school was painted by my father, a skilled builder; she was especially good at painting walls and making staircases.
My father made five or six hundred dollars a day during the years of the construction boom. Five or six hundred dollars was the income of the farmers in our poor little mountain village for most of the year.
That year, when my father used a plastic bag to bring back the 50 thousand yuan he earned from work and spread it out on our kang, my retarded mother hugged him and cried.
My sister, Cherry, and I were even more amazed. I grabbed a handful of bills and asked, ”Dad, did you earn this?” Why are there so many? ”
Zou Wen's eyes were filled with tears as he looked at me and giggled. ”If it wasn't for your father, would your father dare to take it back?”
As he said that, his father waved his arms and said, ”The construction site will settle the salary at the end of the year in one go. The boss will bring back a truck of money for us to cash in. And it's all in cash!”
That year, Alipay and WeChat had not yet arisen, and migrant workers like Dad received all the cash each year.
