Chapter 9: Posthumous child of an educated youth (09)

In the marriage between Ji Yanzhi and Li Yaomei, it can be said that the man is interested and the woman is also interested.

With the intention of both men and women, this is currently regarded as Ji Yanzhi's high-profile marriage, so it was officially decided.

Regarding the bride price, Uncle Li's family doesn't want much, but for grandma, it takes a long time to save enough. Even in order to make a face for Li Yaomei, the grandmother kept herself for a long time, and even if the life was difficult, she kept it properly. She gave her a silver ring with silver dollars to Li Yaomei in private.

After the marriage was over, after the two became unmarried couples, Li Yaomei would often travel to and from the county town to take care of her grandmother when Ji Yanzhi was busy with her studies.

Time came to 1976 in a flash.

1976 was destined to be an extraordinary year. First, three great leaders died one after another, and then the Northeast meteorite, the Tangshan earthquake. In October, the SI gang fell, and Kagome, who was based on the ‘revolution’, would begin to behave with his tail between his tails.

The dark cloud that was pressing on the people across the country finally dissipated, and many educated youths who went to the countryside began activities one after another, looking for various ways to return to the city.

The production team that Ji Yanzhi belongs to is a little better. The village cadres on the brigade are not the kind of bad guys who like to talk and make things difficult for others. Thinking that it is not easy for children in the city to leave the big city and go to the countryside to live, the work assigned by the cadres to their educated youth has always been the easiest. On weekdays, I'm not so tricky and embarrassed, and I usually prove everything simply and neatly. Therefore, compared with the ‘all sorts of chaos’ behaviors of educated youths going to the countryside in other places, their production brigade is much smaller.

Of course, this is just a few, not nothing. Therefore, when Li Yaomei entered the county town recently and talked to her grandmother while smashing paper boxes and chatting, it means that the educated youths on the production team "visit relatives and friends", went to the neighboring village and slammed the door, and With the educated youth there, we discussed the way back.

In Ji Yanzhi's view, this is not bad. After the college entrance examination was resumed next year, it was only happier.

The restoration of the college entrance examination means that the educated youth returning to the city is no longer an extravagant hope. Earlier, for example, in the first three years, the educated youth who went to the countryside in the first few years of the rise of the educated youth movement, most of them had already married (married) children in the countryside. I hope that my future will also have a lot of protection. It is only due to policy reasons that the educated youth return to the city through the college entrance examination, and the other half of the household registration is still the village household registration. Under such circumstances, most educated youth will choose to abandon their husbands (wifes) and children.

To put it pessimistically, fortunately, Ji Zhinan died early. If he is still alive, he will not even go to the college entrance examination. After the exam, who knows what his choice is. Maybe they will abandon their wives and children, or they may bring their country wives and children into the city. Anyway, the good and evil of human nature are often within a single thought.

Ji Yanzhi put down the stick bones in his hand, and then smiled in Li Yaomei's somewhat embarrassed sight: "I didn't buy meat today, but it's not bad to have stick bones. It happened that Yaomei took some carrots. Come, eat stick bone stewed radish today."

Li Yaomei muttered: "I'm not here to eat meat."

Ji Yanzhi: "I know that sister Yao is here to help me take care of my grandmother. If you know that sister Yao is here, grandma's mentality has improved a lot recently. In my opinion, chat with grandma and help grandma do things. , It is also a great thing, when I have to line up specially to buy meat."

The grandmother smiled cheerfully on the side: "Yeah, the baby is right, the money earned from this box is still half that of Yaomeier."

Now Li Yaomei became even more embarrassed.

Her heart is sweet, and she feels that she is lucky enough to settle down with Ji Yanzhi.

Such a charitable grandma, why still people in the village feel that she is not easy to get along with, and even more that her father and mother don’t know how to get married with the posthumous son of Ji Qingqing who is hard-fated, and they will definitely regret it in the future. if.

Their family will not regret it.

The corners of Li Yaomei’s lips were slightly cocked. When Ji Yanzhi smashed the stick bones into two pieces and put them in the pot, she and her grandma cleaned up the house, and then cleaned it up again. Radish.

Ji Yanzhi stewed the big bone stewed radish and started making pancakes again.

Cut a plate of pickles and stir-fry a plate of vinegar and cabbage. This is a relatively rich dinner of this age.

After dinner, Ji Yanzhi rode himself for a while, and found some bicycles made of scrap steel scraps taken by Jiang Hao from the steel plant, and carried Li Yaomei back to the production team. There will be no school in the next two days. Ji Yanzhi intends to take advantage of this effort to tidy up the reserved land and plant some winter radishes and green vegetables in season. Lest the grandmother is always nagging about coming back, the city spends too much money to buy a radish and cabbage.

It was almost December at this time. After the autumn harvest, most of the people in the production team have already started preparing for Maodong.

When Ji Yanzhi came back with Li Yaomei, except for a few smoke from other people, even the educated youth institute not far from Ji Yan's home only heard the laughter, but did not see the smoke rising.

Ji Yanzhi parked his bicycle at the entrance of the courtyard. Li Yaomei got off the car seat, without Ji Yanzhi's words, just like the hostess, she started to hold firewood and burn the kang.

"Educated Youth Academy is really lively."

Standing in the courtyard, Ji Yanzhi casually glanced in the direction of the Educated Youth Institute, then smiled and put his bicycle against the courtyard wall.

"It's okay. When the SI gang just collapsed, the educated youth academy can be described as singing and dancing." Mei Li Yao, who was burning the kang, said without raising her head: "Aniang said that their brains are all sick. The SI gang It is crushed. It is true that the people should be singing and dancing, but you can't take this as a reason not to actively participate in labor."

"The excitement hasn't passed yet." Ji Yanzhi smiled and said: "After all, we don't have much entertainment in this lumpy place."

Li Yaomei, who had already burned the kang, sat on the head of the kang and asked with a coy expression: "Brother Yan, are you planning to open a private plot tomorrow?"

Ji Yanzhi: "Well, the land hasn't been frozen yet. I will grow some winter radishes and cob vegetables. I won't make my grandma feel distressed every time I buy vegetables from the supply and marketing cooperative."

"You don't need money for anything in this city. Don't blame your grandmother for everything. Granny said, you have to save money for your tuition."

Ji Yanzhi laughed: "How can tuition be saved so easily."

"That's the truth. But grandma's mind is good." The blush on Li Yaomei's face suddenly worsened, "Brother Yan, you must be filial to grandma in the future. I...I will also help you to be filial to grandma together. ."

Ji Yan was taken aback first, but she didn't expect that Li Yaomei would suddenly say this kind of confession, then she smiled, and the spring was very bright.

"...It's getting late, I'll... go back, and tomorrow I will come early to help Brother Yan open up wasteland together."

Ji Yanzhi still hummed, but his body moved. He sent Li Yaomei out of the yard and then to the door of Uncle Li's house before returning home slowly.

At this time, the sky was dark, and there was still singing and laughing at the educated youth academy.

Funny to say that, as the posthumous child of the third-time rural educated youth, Ji Yanzhi, who has lived with his grandmother since childhood, has little communication with the rural educated youth on the production brigade. There were educated youths from the same city as Ji Zhinan in the nearby villages, but after Ji Zhinan passed away due to an accident, no educated youth from the same city as Ji Zhinan came to see him as an orphan who first lost his father and then his mother. Even Yu Ji’s family...

This is a very strange thing when you think about it.

But combined with so many surname seasons across the country, there are hundreds of people taking the college entrance examination. Why did Ji Jin just stare right? The water inside is a bit deep from the point of view of the hoper who wiped the admission line of the college entrance examination to the Capital University.

Ji Yanzhi diverged his thoughts for a moment, and felt that although the water was deep, the reason was actually very simple. Presumably Ji Zhixi and Ji Jin and his son have been staring at the prayer, so that after the prayer has passed the college entrance examination, the identity of the prayer is clearly occupied and Ji Jin can replace the prayer to go to university. .

And this also explains why more than ten years later, even Ji Zhidong, who has a good relationship with Ji Zhinan, never came to the land where Ji Zhinan went to the countryside to jump in. It cannot be said that Ji Zhinan is dead in the impression of the Ji family, and his posthumous child is also a dead person at all, perhaps in their minds, perhaps it has never appeared before.

Lying on the warm kang, Ji Yanzhi made an inaudible sneer while covering the quilt.

Whatever the reason, his relatives in this life are his grandmother and Li Yaomei who will live with him for the rest of his life. The rest, especially Ji Zhixi and Ji Jin's father and son, will be the target of his future retaliation. He waited to see if he had scored full marks in all subjects after the college entrance examination resumed, and when it caused a sensation in the city and county, did Ji Zhixi still have the guts to let Ji Jin replace him in college.

If he still dared, Ji Yanzhi would naturally give him a gift.
