Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 104 Knee Man

The man in the lead had a broad mouth and nose, but his eyes were narrow and long, and his wispy side bangs covered his left eye.

He walked to the main driver's window, as if he wanted to talk through the window, but he didn't dare. He hesitated and Lin Jiajia opened the door and got out of the car.

The man took a step back to make room and greeted Lin Jiajia with a laugh.

"Jia Jia, Yan Juan and I just returned to the village last night. We just learned that you're back, so we came to see you."

He glanced to the side and saw a thinner man with longer hair next to him. He said, "Jia Jia, what are you doing? Do you have time? Sha Bao and I will treat you to a meal in the county."

The man in the lead immediately agreed: "Yes, let's have a meal. We old classmates haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's chat... and catch up."

Sandbag and cigarette, Xia An knew they were nicknames.

He didn't get out of the car, but looked through the window and saw several men looking at him from time to time.

Once your eyes meet, look away immediately.

Xia An found it funny, knowing that he was in the way.

They either planned to borrow money from Lin Jiajia or had other requests.

However, this kind of tactic of stopping people on the road to ask for help was the first time he had seen it.

Lin Jiajia put her hands on her hips and said to Shabao and Yanjuan in a bad mood, "Treating me to dinner? The sun is rising from the west. If you have money, buy more food and clothes for your parents. Go away, get out of the way."

The actions and tone were more aggressive than Xia An had ever seen before.

He watched with great interest from the car.

Shabao immediately responded: "Don't worry, Jiajia, let's just have a meal. Yanjuan and I will talk to you about something."

Yan Juan said, "Yes, old squad leader, please give me some face."

Squad leader? Xia An chuckled.

Hearing the laughter, Lin Jiajia turned around and glanced at him, looking extremely charming.

When others saw this expression, Yanjuan and Shabao tilted their heads, looked over and met Xia An's gaze for the first time, and nodded timidly at Xia An.

Xia An responded with a faint smile.

Lin Jiajia waved her hand and said, "Let's talk about it here. I'm in a hurry to get back to the city."

Shabao shook his head and said, "How can that be possible? We still need to eat."

Lin Jiajia rolled her eyes, "Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'm leaving." She turned around and got in the car.

Yanjuan immediately took another step forward, "No, no, we are all classmates, you are too disrespectful."

As he said that, he reached out and pressed the car door.

He then said, "Why don't you ask Mr. Zhang in the car to come along and we can find a big restaurant to eat."

Mr. Zhang? Lin Jiajia frowned.

Seeing the thin Yanjuan reaching out to stop Lin Jiajia, Xia An's face darkened.

When I heard the words "Mr. Zhang", I knew without any hesitation that this group of people were coming to Taoyuan.

After sending a text message to Zhang Tiancheng, Xia An immediately got out of the car and walked over.

"How many of you would like to treat me to a meal?" he asked with a smile.

It seemed like a natural tacit understanding, and it seemed like he truly treated Xia An as... a man.

When she heard him speak, Lin Jiajia stopped talking.

Shabao immediately bent his waist a little, and turned to Xia An with a flattering smile: "You must be Mr. Zhang Tiancheng, right? My name is Liu Erhao, and I'm Jia Jia's elementary school classmate."

Yan Juan took out the wrinkled soft red plum cigarette case and took out a cigarette for Xia An: "My name is Wang Wang, me too, me too."

Xia An didn't take the cigarette. He looked at the hand that Shabao was handing over to him and ignored it.

He shook his head and said, "My last name is not Zhang."

"Aren't you Mr. Zhang?"

Xia An shook his head again.

Shabao straightened his waist again and put the cigarette into his mouth.

This is too insulting and too hypocritical. Lin Jiajia was furious when she saw this. She ignored them and pulled Xia An and said, "Get in the car, let's go."

Yanjuan exhaled a puff of smoke and took a step to the side. The two men behind him who had never spoken came over to block the way.

Xia An looked at him and was about to speak when Lin Jiajia slapped the cigarette away and placed her arm across Xia An's body.

"I know you asked me to help you look after Taoyuan, but I don't have the final say on this matter. Even if I could appoint someone, forget it."

The words were clear, and Sandbag and Cigarette's expressions immediately changed. They said angrily, "You are so inhumane. Why can't we do it? Besides, you are...disrespecting the elderly and loving the young."

Now we hire elderly people left behind from two nearby villages to pick peaches, weed and provide daily care.

Inventory and delivery are all done by professionals.

Lin Jiajia was furious. She pointed at the two old classmates and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. When Taoyuan was first built, you said you were here to help, but later you repeatedly broke into the yard to steal fruit and sell it. Old Zhou didn't care at the time for my sake..."

Yan Juan sneered, "I heard from the villagers that you divorced that old man. Now did you give this Taoyuan as a divided property, or did you find a new one named Zhang..."

pia.

Xia An raised his hand halfway when Lin Jiajia slapped Yan Juan in the face with lightning speed.

"Hey, I..."

The cigarette in the cigarette holder's mouth flew out, and he staggered to a standstill. There were clear handprints on his face, and he was not as thick-skinned as he had imagined.

Regardless of the changes in the faces of the four people opposite, Xia An gave Lin Jiajia a thumbs up and said with a smile: "It should be this hard."

It's obvious.

These two rascals had been targeting Taoyuan for many years. It must have been Old Zhou who secretly asked someone to tell the villagers. After being lectured by the village committee, these two people behaved themselves for a few years.

I heard these days that Taoyuan has changed hands, and Lin Jiajia is still the main person in charge.

My mind became active again.

Very normal.

Although Hewan Village is close to the provincial capital, it is separated by the continuous Western Mountains.

The road is difficult to travel, there are no private cars, and there are only two minibuses every day.

The village is poor, and the profits from the thousand-acre peach orchard account for the bulk of the profits.

The village shares are collectively owned, but they are distributed according to work, and those who do not work and just wait for dividends actually get very little.

The so-called income generation refers to generating income for townships and counties.

What has improved the farmers' lives is that they can have enough food, which is easier than farming.

Sandbags and Cigarettes' idea was to use Lin Jiajia's relationship to take over the entire security and care work.

The local Dayan peach is a specialty of Northeast China and has considerable economic value.

It is indeed necessary to protect the mountains and forests, but what is more important is to prevent theft by those who are guarding the mountains.

Lao Zhou won't use them, nor will Lin Jiajia, and even less so Xia An.

A slap in the face completely destroyed the friendship between fellow townsmen and classmates.

Logically speaking, the next step would be hand-to-hand combat.

But Xia An is not afraid.

The roar of the engine behind me came from far away.

The Continental's headlights were so bright that the four people on Shabao couldn't open their eyes.

When did a sports car come to the village?

Behind the sports car came a dozen bricklayers and carpenters running.

Zhang Tiancheng was quite smart. When he received Xia An's text message "Drive to the mountainside quickly", he shouted without saying a word and brought the person down.

The car stopped twenty centimeters in front of Yanjuan's legs. The tires kicked up dust and rocks. Yanjuan and his men frowned and stepped back.

Zhang Tiancheng opened the door and got out of the car, shouting, "Boss Xia, what's wrong?"

Xia An smiled and shook his head, pointing at Zhang Tiancheng and looking at the sandbags and cigarettes.

"His name is Zhang Tiancheng. Do you have something to say to him?"

Zhang Tiancheng took off his glasses and shouted at the four people again: "What's wrong?"

Xia An pulled Lin Jiajia to Ou Lu's side and opened the passenger seat for her.

Walking around the front of the car, Zhang Tiancheng took the initiative to open the door for Xia An.

"Add some more manpower these days to prevent the fruit from being stolen."

After leaving a word, Xia An stepped on the accelerator in neutral.

The roar was shrill.

Shabao, Yanjuan and others automatically made way and watched the car drive away.

……

"Actually, I did arrange some work for them in the garden, but there aren't many positions in the garden."

"It's nothing more than picking peaches, weeding, and spraying pesticides, but they don't want to do it because they think it's tiring and the pay is too low."

In the car, Lin Jiajia murmured to Xia An dejectedly.

"Xia An, don't look down on the villagers because of this."

Xia An laughed and nodded, "My basic character is simple and kind, but with the rapid development in recent years, I've become impatient and jealous. Everyone was poor, and even poor people were happy. Now it's not the same. The problem isn't the lack of wealth, but the inequality. You can eat meat, but don't let me know. That's why they say wealth should not be displayed."

After taking a deep look at him, Lin Jiajia agreed:
"The conditions are limited, and there are still too few people who can pass the exam. When we were young, we were still covered in patches."

The mountain roads are difficult to travel on and the land surface in Europe is low.

There were a few beeps behind the car, and a small motorcycle came up and drove away.

Xia An glanced at it curiously. It was simply because there were too few people in the countryside who obeyed traffic rules and wore helmets while riding motorcycles.

Thinking back, he turned his head and smiled at Lin Jiajia, holding her hand and said, "There are only about 60 households in Hewan Village, right?"

Lin Jiajia winked at him angrily, nodded, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia An smiled and said, "These past few days, Zhang Tiancheng and I have been thinking about how to increase Taoyuan's profits.

“After doing some research online, I plan to build a canning factory by the river next year.

"Some labor might be needed, and then you'll have to lobby the villagers and ask them to help with the work."

His eyes were full of spirit, and his two little deer eyes suddenly became bright and clear.

He was clearly helping me and my fellow villagers, but he turned around and praised me...

very eloquent.

The car had driven far away from the village and arrived at a remote place at the foot of the West Mountain. Lin Jiajia pointed to the front and asked Xia An to stop the car.

After the car stopped, Lin Jiajia leaned over from the passenger seat and gave him a kiss on the side of his cheek.

"Reward. Okay, keep going."

Her words were light and her manners were dignified.
-
When they got downstairs, Lin Jiajia didn't go upstairs, saying that she was in a hurry to go to the supermarket to buy some things and then return to the village.

Xia An expected this.

Lin Jiajia doesn't want to see Zuo You.

The Xia and Zuo families are setting up their homes in the new "Yuzu Restaurant" which has been preliminarily renovated.

The "Zuolin Youli Fresh Supermarket", which is connected by a large door, is also busy distributing goods.

The name was given by Xia An. The Zuo family was very happy, but Wei Xiaofang was not very happy afterwards.

It is said that he has a wife and has forgotten his mother. The two names Zuo You are both on the list, but why are the names of his parents missing?
Xia An’s defense at the time was: Zuo You’s neighbors are his family, and the whole family of three is there.

In fact, he first thought of "The Four Daughters of the Xia Family", which was not pleasant to hear and difficult to explain.

Everything needed to open the business is almost complete.

Xia An walked in carrying large and small bags of mountain products, and the first thing he saw was Xiao Youzi, who was helping Wu Sufen count the goods with a small notebook.

A voice said: "Wife."

It made everyone present dumbfounded.

Zuo Dashu, who was standing on a ladder installing a light bulb, almost fell down.

Looking at her daughter's blushing face, Wu Sufen smiled softly.

Xia Kangning was very relieved. He helped Zuo Dashu steady the ladder and said, "Be careful, don't hit your son-in-law."

Wei Xiaofang ran over and took the things from Grandma Lin, while laughing and scolding her son for being so shameless.

"Go, take your wife out to play, it's good to smash it."

Xia An pulled the shy little Youzi upstairs.

As soon as I entered the building, someone twisted my ears.

"How shameless! How can you call me that in front of my parents?"

"Whose father and mother? Mine, yours?" Xia An asked while hugging her.

Zuo You lowered her eyes and muttered, "We." With a "Hey," Xia An lifted her up and asked, "You can't hold it any longer. Do you want to go to your house or mine?"

Zuo You felt hot all over and stammered, "My house can be locked."

. . . (not a separator). . .

Lying side by side, their skin touching, both of them had a layer of sweat on their foreheads.

Panting, Xia An suddenly thought of the old Lin's water pressurized well that he had used in the countryside these days.

The water comes out with every press, it is so vivid.

He told it to his partner as a private love talk between lovers.

Little Youzi was so embarrassed.

After a while, he turned sideways and hugged Xia An.

"I heard that women only become so emotional when they are with someone they like, and only then... can they act like that. Don't laugh at me."

Xia Yan kissed her cheek and said with a smile: "Please keep it."

Under his routine, Zuo You gradually relaxed her tone of voice.

"I'm leaving tomorrow and might not be back until Chinese New Year. What are you going to do with so much time?"

Xia An asked back: "Then what will you do?"

Zuo You kicked her legs and said, "I'm not like you. I can bear it."

Xia An clicked his tongue and shook his head: "I don't believe it, you girls are even better."

Zuo You bit his shoulder.

Bite harder!
So obscene!

Zuo You covered his mouth to stop him from speaking.

Snuggling together and being silent does not affect the deep affection conveyed to each other at all.

Suddenly, Zuo You said, "Call me again."

"Wife?"

Zuo You used her index finger to trace his eyebrows, nose bridge and lips.

Her peach blossom eyes were moist and she said with a smile, "It's a bit tacky."

He asked with amusement, "Any other names?"

Xia An thought for a moment and said, "Wife, madam, daughter-in-law, mother of the child..."

Zuo You: "Which one do you like?"

Xia An: "I like them all."

Zuo You leaned on his chest, stared into his eyes and asked, "Will you still call others like that?"

Xia An didn't even think about it and immediately shook his head.

Every carrot has its own hole, no one can grab it.

Unless we meet.

Xia An straightened his back.

Zuo You pursed her lips and frowned slightly.

Slowly sat down.

. . . (not a separator). . .

At three or four o'clock, the weather is just right.

It was time to start cooking dinner, but I saw Xia An and Zuo You walking out hand in hand.

The three adults looked at Zuo Dashu, whose face was as black as coal, and no one dared to urge him to prepare the food.

We are all experienced people, we went upstairs for two hours...

It’s okay that Xia An just came back from the countryside, but does Zuo You need to change into new clothes?

What was done is self-evident.

Let Zuo Dashu cook now?

Who dares to eat it?
Xia Kangning looked at the backs of the two children and smiled happily.

"A perfect match."

……

Nowadays, young couples don’t have many options when it comes to dating.

Walk on the streets, visit shopping malls and parks.

Xia An doesn't.

He took Zuo You to the bank.

The incident of the big man blocking the road at noon made him feel something.

Villains fear power but not virtue.

Since the beginning of slavery, money has been the backbone of human society.

If Xiao Youzi wants to enter the entertainment industry, she will inevitably be bullied and tempted if she lacks confidence.

The ATM at the entrance of this small branch had a sign saying it was under maintenance, so Xia An took her into the lobby and lined up.

Zuo You was very curious when she came.

"You want to withdraw money for me? No need, my parents gave me some, and I still have quite a bit myself."

It’s not a small amount, just tens of thousands of yuan at most, Xia An knows it.

He said mysteriously, "You'll know in a moment. Where's the love fund card? Give it to me."

"You want to touch the money there? You need the money?"

She asked doubtfully, but still took out the CCB card from her bag.

When they reached the window, Xia An was stunned, and so was the teller inside.

Zhou Yitong?
Isn't this the VIP manager of the big branch in the city center?
How did you get assigned here to be a teller?
Millions of gold orders are definitely a considerable achievement in this day and age.

He was curious, but had no reason to engage in small talk.

Zhou Yitong was even more curious.

Looking at Zuo You, she wondered why this boy... found another little Tang Wan?

Zhou Yitong has Tang Wan's and Xia An's mobile phone numbers. When she was harassed by her superiors before, she had thought about contacting them for help, but gave up.

There is even less reason to pry into other people's private lives now.

I just thought that the rich second generation changes partners quickly, regardless of gender.

Judging from Zuo You's appearance, Zhou Yitong felt that it was likely that Tang Wan dumped him.

He couldn't forget her and found a girl who looked similar.

Is it so easy to find beauties of this level nowadays?
Learned a lot.

"What business do you have, sir?"

Handing over the card, Xia An said, "Check the balance."

Zhou Yitong: “…”

When entering the password, Zuo You pressed the first three digits, and Xia An asked her to watch him press the last three digits.

Zhou Yitong has seen many cases of joint accounts between two people.

I saw the balance, 87 yuan.

As expected, wealthy people easily use cards with hundreds of thousands of yuan. Teller Zhou sighed.

Zuo You was stunned when he heard the count.

The remaining 45,000 yuan was deposited by her, and 8,200 yuan was from Xia An.

Whose is that more than 800,000 yuan?

Seeing the little beauty stunned, Zhou Yitong glanced at Xia An and thought to herself, what a lavish way to woo girls. What a decadent world...

Leave the bank.

Without waiting for Zuo You to ask, Xia An frankly said, "Actually, I've been lying to you all along."

Under a roadside tree, Zuo You looked at him with a frown.

Xia An sighed softly: "Actually, I'm just worried that you'll worry. I don't have any other thoughts. You're leaving now, aren't you? I'm afraid you'll be wronged outside."

Seeing that he couldn't get to the point, Zuo You became anxious and asked, "Where did you get the money?"

"Do you remember Liu Youwei who drove us back in a luxury car?"

Zuo You nodded.

"I wasn't hired by him as an artist. In fact, the Megaphone project was a collaboration between him and me. He got venture capital, and we cashed out a little bit a few months ago."

One hour.

It took Xia An more than an hour to tell another lie and make up for the matter.

2006 was a time when venture capitalists were everywhere, which is relatively easy to explain.

Zuoyou is happy.

I am happy that Xia An has such great abilities at such a young age.

More than 800,000 yuan. My parents have never earned that much money in their entire lives.

I have to be the third... no, the second female lead, to get paid this much for a drama, right?
Happier with...

"Over 800,000, and you're going to give it all to me?"

Xia An looked at her deeply: "Everything I have is yours."

Money cannot represent everything, but often in some specific scenarios, money can represent all attitudes.

Who can stand this for a girl in her early twenties?
Zuo You couldn't stand it either.

My nose is sore and my heart is happy.

She smiled and shook her head, then took Xia An's hand and said, "I won't spend money recklessly, so don't worry about what I do outside. Money won't make me leave you. Save it for after we get married."

……

That night, Xia An asked Zhang Tiancheng whether the group had gone to cause trouble.

The answer is no.

Xia An felt a little relieved.

Apparently, the Bentley was enough to intimidate those two long-haired country bumpkins.

……

On October 10, Xia An's train ticket was for the afternoon, so he had to leave after lunch.

Zuo You helped him pack the schoolbag he brought back and stuffed two autumn coats into it.

Without asking anyone to see him off, Xia An left home alone and told Xiao Youzi not to forget to inform him after she landed safely tomorrow.

Walking with head held high and full of joy.

It’s simple. In two days, the blonde Venus will be here.

The call that arrived before Venus was from Lin Jiajia.

As soon as Fang got on the train, his cell phone vibrated.

On the phone, Lin Jiajia asked him in a somewhat strange tone whether he had left.

I also asked him if he had brought enough clothes for the changing seasons.

Finally, he asked, "Zhang Erhao and Wang Wang had their left knees smashed last night. Did you do that?"

"..."

After thinking for a long time, Xia An finally remembered who the owners of these two names were.

Ning Mei said, "No. Being too sentimental...doing too much is not easy and will eventually lead to self-destruction."

"That's good, everything is fine. Go back and study hard."

Lin Jiajia hung up the phone.

Xia An stared at the farmland passing by outside the window for a long time.

Suddenly I thought of Hu Ning, who had been admitted to graduate school.

He cried out "Fuck".

Again and again.

There is no such coincidence in the world.

Damn, is this "knee man" coming towards me?
