Chapter 498 Everyone has their own plans
On this day, when the sky was still dim, Su Mingzhe returned from hunting in the mountains.
Zheng Juan and Yu Hong, who were on duty to clean the yard today, saw the man come back. One of them helped open the wooden door of the animal pen, while the other went to get hot water and waited for the man to wash up.
Su Mingzhe put the prey on his body into the animal pen, and naturally washed himself with the hot water prepared by Yu Hong, and wiped his face with her towel.
Mm, it smells delicious.
Su Mingzhe has lived for so many years, but he still can't figure out one question.
Although both use soap to wash their faces, hands and towels, men's towels become harder with use, while women's towels become softer with use.
It makes no sense.
Wang Quan, Wang Yafang and Xu Kai in the room heard the noise and came out to say hello.
Zheng Juan then spoke:
"Mingzhe, the old village chief just came over. He said that the foundation of the new elementary school has been laid. If you are free this morning, go over and take a look. There seems to be something else he wants to discuss with you."
"Well, I'll be there after dinner."
As Su Mingzhe was speaking, he saw Wang Quan coming out and instructed him to sort out the firewood in the next two days.
During the New Year period, the firewood accumulated before the New Year has been almost used up.
Wang Yafang and Xu Kai waited until Su Mingzhe finished speaking before inviting him to have breakfast.
Everyone came to the air-raid shelter. Wang Yafang and Xu Kai held a bowl with rice, while the other personally handed the chopsticks to Su Mingzhe.
Before Zheng Juan came, Su Mingzhe was already accustomed to this kind of intimate posture between the two women, and he never thought there was anything inappropriate.
Now that Su Mingzhe has Zheng Juan as his official girlfriend, Su Mingzhe knows very well that it is very wrong for the two women to be so intimate with him, but he doesn't know how to refuse them for the time being.
In this situation, Su Mingzhe could only pretend to be calm, took the bowl and chopsticks, and invited everyone to eat together.
Fortunately, Zheng Juan just had a slightly cold look and didn't say much.
After everyone had breakfast, Su Mingzhe suggested going to the village to find the old village chief.
Seeing this, Wang Quan was unwilling to stay in school and quickly said that he would go with them:
"Brother Su, let me go to the village with you. I have something to talk to you about."
Su Mingzhe looked at his flattering eyes and agreed:
"Okay, let's go check out the elementary school foundation."
Although Wang Quan made a lot of money from Su Mingzhe, he also saved Su Mingzhe a lot of trouble. The most important thing is that he is extremely loyal to Su Mingzhe.
Different from Wang Yafang and Xu Kai, two other female educated youth, who were hostile towards Zheng Juan, Wang Quan always called her "sister-in-law" whenever he saw her.
Su Mingzhe reciprocated the favor and took better and better care of Wang Quan.
Not long after the two of them walked out of the school, Su Mingzhe took out a box of Daqianmen from his pocket and handed one to Wang Quan.
Wang Quan quickly took out a matchbox from his pocket and lit them for himself and Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe took a deep puff of cigarette and then asked:
"Quan, what do you want?"
"Brother, I want Wu Qian to come to Baiyashan."
Wang Quan was also stimulated by Su Mingzhe and several women. He often couldn't sleep alone late at night. Then he began to think of his first love Wu Qian who was far away in Jichun City.
Su Mingzhe was not surprised to hear this, and asked with a smile:
"Wu Qian has a formal job in Jichun City. Would she be willing to come to Baiya Mountain to accompany you?"
"She'll definitely be willing."
Wang Quan said, with some confidence on his face:
"Last time I wrote a letter to my family, and also to her, she said in her reply that she was willing to come and stay with me."
A month had passed since Wu Qian’s last reply. Only at this time did Wang Quan tell himself, could it be...
After Su Mingzhe looked at Wang Quan strangely, he nodded in agreement no matter what the situation was.
Spring is here and everything comes to life.
This is a season when both men and women are ready to take action.
Wang Quan was delighted to see Su Mingzhe agreed, and he discussed with Su Mingzhe that after the thaw, when the construction team built a new house for Su Mingzhe, they would also build a yard for him and Wu Qian. After they got married, they could continue to be neighbors.
"You really think long term."
Su Mingzhe took two quick steps and arrived at the site of the new primary school.
More than thirty work teams are tamping the foundation.
When the two elderly chefs saw Su Mingzhe coming, they immediately greeted everyone:
"Su Zhiqing, how do you think the foundation is being rammed?"
Su Mingzhe checked it and found it was indeed flat, thick, and stable enough. He nodded with satisfaction:
"Master Liu, Master Zhao, the foundation is really well rammed. Once the cement arrives, we can put up the wooden cage and pour the cement."
Due to the times, steel was mainly supplied to state-owned factories, and it was impossible to cast steel bars when building houses in rural areas.
However, Su Mingzhe invented a "wooden cage" that has a similar function to steel bars and can also prevent wall breakage.
When everyone saw that Su Mingzhe agreed, they started discussing and decided to wait for the weather to warm up in two days before starting to put up the wooden cages and pour cement.
When the old village chief heard that Su Mingzhe was coming, he walked over with his hands behind his back:
"Su Zhiqing, I have good news for you."
"Village Chief, what's the good news?"
Su Mingzhe still has great respect for the old village chief.
Such an old man, just because he did some things for the village, did not regard himself as an educated youth who had been sent to the countryside to work, but rather as a special envoy sent by his superiors.
Normally, he allowed himself to command the villagers in the village. If anyone dared not to listen to his command, Su Mingzhe would not need to preach, as the old village chief would be the first to rush forward to help Su Mingzhe maintain his "authority".
"Yesterday afternoon I went to a meeting at the commune, and they said they were planning to send us a few more educated youth."
The old village chief smiled brightly:
"Before, our place was poor and remote, and no one wanted to come here. But since you, Su Zhiqing, came, our place has gradually become a popular place."
"Village chief, you are flattering me."
Su Mingzhe was also very happy about the new educated youth coming.
If Su Mingzhe wants to develop Baiyashan Village, he doesn't think he can do it by relying solely on himself or the current six educated youth.
In Su Mingzhe's plan, the more educated youth there are, the better, because there is strength in numbers.
As for how to motivate these educated youth to work after they arrive, Su Mingzhe had already made preparations.
"By the way, Village Chief, you just said that you went to the commune for a meeting yesterday. Is the road out of the mountain open?"
"It's not available yet, but it will be available soon. It should be around next week."
"Then I will go back to Jichun City next week. It's time for them to deliver the bulldozers that we ordered last year."
Su Mingzhe is now staying in Baiya Mountain, which is actually very boring.
From morning till night, the main job is hunting.
According to his habit, Su Mingzhe would go into the mountains to hunt multiple times depending on the size of the prey, six or seven times at most and three or four times at least.
Apart from going into the mountains to hunt, Su Mingzhe's remaining work is to stay in the mushroom cultivation experimental base, stay with Zheng Juan, and pay attention to the cultivation of mushrooms.
The problem is that these jobs do not require much technical skills, so Su Mingzhe can only be patient and work with everyone to complete the task slowly and carefully.
On the way back to school, Wang Quan couldn't contain his joy and said, "Brother, Yu Hong should be the one to accompany you back next week."
"Yeah." Su Mingzhe had a pretty good feeling towards Hong, but he already had Zheng Juan, so he didn't want to harm such a good girl.
"Brother, I will write a letter to Wu Qian to invite her to come. When the time comes, I may need you to help her apply at the Youth League Office."
Wang Quan is really confident that he asked his girlfriend Wu Qian to come to Baiyashan to accompany her.
"Don't worry, as long as she is willing to come, I will definitely let her come to our White Fang Mountain to reunite with you."
Su Mingzhe would not break up the couple, but he also couldn't force Wu Qian to come to Baiyashan.
The two returned to school and told others the news that Su Mingzhe would return to Jichun City next week.
The most excited person was Yu Hong.
When drawing lots to go home for the first time, Yu Hong had the worst luck and was drawn last. Everyone else had already been back to Jichun City once, but she had never been back.
However, although she was excited, Yu Hong was of a calm character. At this moment, she still maintained a calm expression, but there was a little more color in the depths of her eyes.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Su Mingzhe went into the kitchen and made lunch himself.
Three female educated youth, Wang Yafang, Xu Kai and Yu Hong, took more than 30 students to have dinner.
Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan ate a little, then went for a walk in the woods holding hands.
Wang Yafang looked at the two people leaving, not knowing whether she was envious or jealous, and couldn't help but grumble to the other two female educated youth:
"Look at the way her butt is twisting. I'm sure this Zheng Juan is no longer a virgin!"
As she spoke, Wang Yafang suddenly asked Wang Quan:
"Wang Quan, do you men like women who can shake their buttocks?"
"Ahem! Wang Yafang, can you please be more polite?"
Wang Quan really admires Wang Yafang, a girl who dares to say anything.
The question is, how should he answer this kind of question?
It was Xu Kai who solved Wang Quan's urgent problem:
"Fangfang, just shut up!"
Speaking of hip shaking, Xu Kai remembered that he had learned dance when he was a child.
If Su Mingzhe likes women who shake their buttocks, she can definitely do it better than Zheng Juan.
Xu Kai has this confidence.
Compared with the discussions of several educated youths, Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan had unknowingly entered the deep mountains and forests.
Unlike the TV series "The World", Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei went into the birch forest.
Su Mingzhe brought Zheng Juan to a cliff, a place that no one could find.
Watching the man dig open the cave and light a bonfire, Zheng Juan looked around nervously for a while, then went in with the man.
This cave is fully equipped with pots, pans, wooden beds and benches.
There is no problem for the two of them to live here at home.
As the temperature in the cave rises, spring light appears inside, and the scenery is already beautiful.
After an unknown amount of time, the clouds and rain gradually stopped.
Zheng Juan got off the bed, wrapped herself in a black bear skin, came to the campfire, and used a mixture of boiling water from the campfire and spring water to wipe and clean the bodies of the two people.
Su Mingzhe especially liked the fact that Zheng Juan took care of him so carefully, which gave him a sense of satisfaction as a man.
When everything was ready, the two lay back on the wooden bed.
"Hubby, when you go back this time, please help me look after my mom and Xiao Ming, and tell them not to worry about me."
Zheng Juan finally said something a little awkward.
"Don't worry, I will definitely go to visit them."
Su Mingzhe said, seeing that Zheng Juan was still a little uneasy, knowing that she was homesick, he simply said:
"Don't worry. When summer comes, we'll bring Mom and Xiao Ming to Baiya Mountain. They'll have plenty of food and drink here, and we can take care of them together. What do you think?"
"Take them over? Wouldn't that be inconvenient?"
Zheng Juan didn't expect that her man would come up with such a fundamental solution.
"What's so inconvenient about this? You've seen your man's status in White Fang Mountain. Let alone taking over these two people, even if we take over ten or twenty more people, no one will say anything."
Su Mingzhe said, his tone changed, and he told his plan:
"Here's my plan. I'm going to ask the construction team to help us build a new house for our wedding. When the new house is built, we'll bring our mother and Guangming over, and our family of four will live together. When I go to college in the future, if the school is in Jichun City or the Songhua River area, you can bring them back to Jichun City. If the school is not in Jiangliao Province, you can continue to live here. The people of Baiyashan Village are simple and honest, and it's a good place to relax and stay healthy."
"Hubby, you're so thoughtful."
When Zheng Juan saw how much Su Mingzhe cared about herself, her mother and her brother, she immediately felt that she had made the right decision to come to Baiya Mountain.
Marrying a good man can really solve all of a woman's worries.
Just as Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan were discussing things, Hao Dongmei finally waited for her lover Zhou Bingyi in a birch forest hundreds of miles away.
"Bingyi!"
"Dongmei!"
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei haven't seen each other for almost two months.
They say that a day without seeing you feels like three years.
When the two met at this moment, it was like dry wood and raging fire... This metaphor doesn't seem to be very good.
Because there was no cave to shelter from the wind, the two could only put on their clothes before the sweat started.
"Dongmei, your hands are cracked from the cold!"
Zhou Bingyi realized at this time that his delicate girlfriend had suffered frostbite on her hands after only two months of working in the queue.
"I'm fine. There are a few southern girls in our educated youth camp. They suffered serious frostbite."
Although Hao Dongmei is a rich lady, she has a very strong character. A little frostbite can't dampen the passion in her heart.
The two hugged each other and talked about what happened after they separated.
After chatting for a few sentences, they inevitably talked about Su Mingzhe.
After all, Hao Dongmei came to cut in line because she was provoked by Su Mingzhe's words.
"This Su Mingzhe is really amazing!"
Zhou Bingyi told his girlfriend the news he got from Wang Yafang before he joined the army: "He got five recommendations for college admission in one go. He really kept his word."
At the beginning, Su Mingzhe went to Zhou's house and said with great confidence that if he let Zhou Bingkun go to Baiyashan, he would definitely be able to help him get a place in college.
At that time, the three sisters of the Zhou family all thought that Su Mingzhe was bragging.
Who could have expected that Su Mingzhe would accomplish everything in just a few months.
"Since Su Mingzhe is so powerful, we should let Bingkun go to Baiya Mountain."
Hao Dongmei has not yet married into the Zhou family, but she has already started to worry about the Zhou family.
Zhou Bingyi nodded:
"I thought so too. My dad hadn't come back yet, so I didn't tell Su Mingzhe about this. But during the Spring Festival, my parents discussed it and agreed to it. Before I joined the army, I took Bingkun to Su Mingzhe's house and left a letter for Su Mingzhe, asking him to help take Bingkun away when he came home for the Spring Festival."
