The most eye-catching person in the town was Mister Feng Shui.
They had the same status as Xiao Changhe.
The story of Lion Mountain had always been circulating in the town, and from his words, it was even more mysterious.Lin Xiaowen didn't believe what Feng Shui said.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that it had nothing to do with the firecrackers on Lion Mountain.Xiao Xiaoxiao didn't believe such absurd words.
He was educated and didn't believe in superstitions, but it was only their own business that couldn't change the minds of the people of Roxa Town.Ouyang Zhenhua believed that he could change the minds of the people of the Rhoca Town.
It was just that he believed that he didn't dare to communicate with others, and he didn't want to be ridiculed by others.
The grudges between Xiao Village and Lin Village couldn't be resolved in just a few words.
As long as the people of Xiao Village and Lin Village had a higher cultural quality, these questions would be solved.
Thus, he had something to do.
He was waiting for an opportunity.
This was also the reason why he was able to stay in Rhoka Town for two years..He couldn't just turn a blind eye to the establishment of a school today.
This was related to the fate of the entire town.
The school site was located at the border of the two villages.
He had already discussed with Li Jianwen about a groundbreaking ceremony before the construction began.Early in the morning, Xiao Xiaoxiao and the children in the village cleaned up the grass, served the tables, served tea, and waited for the mayor's arrival.
It was a holiday right now, and the children didn't have to go to school.
Firstly, it could help ease the lack of labor in their families, and secondly, they could help out during the establishment of a school.This was also the reason why Ouyang Zhenhua had proposed the establishment of a school.
At the same time, he also had a matter that no one knew about.
He had already learned that Xiao Xiaoxiao and Lin Xiaowen's results were rather outstanding.
The two of them were about to graduate in half a year.
He wanted to use the two of them as the first term graduates of Rhoka Town.
He had put in great effort and effort in doing so!.This was also why Ouyang Zhenhua had proposed the establishment of a school.
At the same time, he also had a matter that no one knew about.
He had already learned that Xiao Xiaoxiao and Lin Xiaowen's results were rather outstanding.
The two of them were about to graduate in half a year.
He wanted to use the two of them as the first term graduates of Rhoka Town.
He had put in great effort and effort in doing so!The winter in Rhoka Town was still somewhat chilly.
It was only when the afternoon mist was almost exhausted that it finally dissipated.Ouyang Zhenhua brought the Deputy Town Lord, the head of women and the leader of the town to town.
When Ouyang Zhenhua saw that there were many people gathered on the lawn, some from Xiao Village and some from Lin Village.
This was the gathering of people from the two villages in history, and there was a lot of discussion."The officials are all like this.
They like to brag and advertise, and the world is as dark as crows.""Tell that dog officer to scram back.
The establishment of a school is something that belongs to the people of Rhoka Town.
There's no need for outsiders to interfere."......People were scolding Ouyang Zhenhua.
In this regard, Xiao village and Lin village didn't split.
They reached an agreement.Ouyang Zhenhua pretended not to hear the discussions below.
He straightened his fingers and said with enthusiasm, "Dear villagers and old men, I have been in Roka Town for more than two years.
I am very grateful for your support for my work.
I bow to you all and express my gratitude.""..."Ouyang Zhenhua bowed, and Li Jianwen and the town leaders clapped their hands.
The people below didn't hesitate to take a look.Ouyang Zhenhua bowed and continued, "A hundred-years-old plan.
Education is Ben.
This is the call of the central party.
Today, Roca Town is fortunate enough to have its own high school.
This is the glory of our town.
I hereby announce that the groundbreaking ceremony will begin."As soon as Ouyang Zhenhua finished speaking, firecrackers rang out.
The village leader asked someone to bring the shovel over to the mayor and said, "Mayor, you can move the soil!"Ouyang Zhenhua received the shovel and waited for the firecrackers to finish.
He said loudly, "I didn't come today to be a formalist.
I just wanted everyone to be witnesses.
I have a contract here.
Three styles and three sets.
It's about the school.
I'll explain the contents to everyone, and at the same time, I'll ask for everyone's opinions."..."Li Jianwen took a cup of water and handed it to Ouyang Zhenhua.
Ouyang Zhenhua took a sip of the water and continued, "The large content of the water is that the school bricks and tiles are left by Xiao Village.
The doors, windows, tables, and chairs are left by Lin Village.
The establishment of a school is jointly completed by both sides.
I'm not worried about this.
What I'm worried about is the renovation work after the construction works are completed, so as to avoid conflicts."After discussion, we wrote it down on the contract.
Let me read it out for everyone.
This is the main point."Ouyang Zhenhua took another sip of water, placed the cup on the table, and said in Qingqing's voice, "The renovation work after the construction of the school will be completed by both parties.
Xiao Village will be responsible for repairing the structure of the house, while Lin Village will be responsible for the repair of the doors and windows.
The school will be under the joint management of the two villages.
At the same time, I want to tell everyone a piece of good news.
The county education bureau has agreed to hire seven teachers to work here.""..."Ouyang Zhenhua applauded.
He was so excited today that he could finally relax.
The people on the grass also applauded.
They couldn't help but admire Ouyang Zhenhua's thoughtful thinking.
Not only did he solve the problem in front of him, but he also resolved his future worries.Both Xiao Changhe and Lin Menghua signed the contract.
Ouyang Zhenhua also signed the contract.
After signing the contract, he gave Xiao Changhe a copy of the contract and a copy of the contract to Lin Menghua.
The school was settled just like that.Xiao Xiaoxiao's family was also divided into a few types of construction works.
Xiao Xiaoxiao worked hard, while Xiao Xiaoxiao worked hard.
Lin Xiaowen was the one who helped the construction site.
This was her own choice.
The two of them only smiled at each other when they met each other.
They were in the same grade in Muzi Town Middle School, and they weren't in the same class.
Xiao Xiaoxiao had long heard that Lin Xiaowen's grades in Lin Village had always been a top student in the class, and she was also in the top class.Xiao Xiaoxiao couldn't help but glance at her.
Lin Xiaowen was picking up some water and walking towards her.
She was wearing a black jacket, which revealed a red sweater.
She must have knitted it herself.There were a lot of patches on her coat, which made her look a little shabby, but it was very clean.
It was very normal in Roka Town.Lin Xiaowen raised his head, and his eyes met.
She quickly shifted her gaze away, and her face flushed red as well.
Two cute dimples appeared to be filled with anger and laughter.
Xiao Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly shifted his gaze to the horizon to hide his panic.The sky was blue and the sun shone brightly on the mountains and waters of Rhoka Town.
The air was filled with the scent of mud.Lin Xiaowen picked up the water and walked past the shelf.
The shelf was full of bricks, and the builders were building walls.
Suddenly, Xiao Xiaoxiao saw the bricks on the shelf tilting and swaying."Be careful!"Xiao Xiaoxiao shouted and rushed over to pull Lin Xiaowen to one side.The bricks slid down in front of them, smashing the bucket into pieces.
Lin Xiaowen was so scared that he snuggled into Xiao Xiaoxiao's arms."How long do you have eyes?
Watch carefully.
"The builder on the shelf shouted without looking back."Thank you!"Lin Xiaowen's face turned even redder when he saw Xiao Xiaoxiao hugging her tightly.Xiao Xiaoxiao hurriedly let go and said in a daze, "I'm sorry, I...
I was in a hurry.""Isn't it boring?!"Xiaoan, who was moving bricks, was teasing the two of them on purpose.Lin Xiaowen ran home shyly.
Xiao Xiaoxiao's heart was still pounding wildly, and he suddenly felt a little disappointed.It was almost noon, and the craftsmen had all gone home for dinner.
Xiao Xiaoxiao was still thinking about Lin Xiaowen.
He found a clean stone and sat down, silently thinking about his thoughts."Hey, why aren't you eating at home?
Are you still thinking about her?"Xiaoan didn't return.
Instead, he sat down on the grass opposite Xiao Xiaoxiao."No, no, I'm not hungry."Xiao Xiaoxiao spoke incoherently."Shall I set you two up?""Don't talk about other people.
You should think about your own matters.
If your father finds out, he won't break your legs."Xiao Xiaoxiao's words reminded Xiaoan.
Xiaoan nervously looked around and saw that no one had spoken in a low voice, "We can't let anyone know about this.
You can't harm me!"Xiaoan was currently dating the second daughter of village head Lin Hao, Linling.
This was originally a secret between the two of them, but it was unexpectedly discovered by Xiao Xiaoxiao, so it became a secret between the three of them.
If Xiao Changhe and Lin Menghua were to find out about this matter, perhaps the two villages would have some sort of incident and Xiao Xiaoxiao would know the severity of the situation.
However, if things continued like this, what would happen to Xiaoan?"You can't hide this for the rest of your life, right?
You have to quickly think of a way!""What can we do?
Who told us to grow up in a place like this?
I heard that people outside are dating freely, but here, this-?"Xiaoan was helpless.
He was a little angry and said angrily, "If worse comes to worst, I'll elope with her."Eloper might be their only way out.
Xiaoan thought about it over and over again, and Xiao Laosan's departure intensified his desire to elope.
He was waiting for the right time.
Once the right time came, the two of them would fly far away, far away from this dangerous place.The school was built in the blink of an eye.
There were five classes in primary school and three classes in junior high school.
There were quite a lot of people in the two villages combined, but junior high school was him, Xiaoxia, and Lin Xiaowen.
Ever since Lin Xiaowen left last time, she hadn't appeared.
Xiao Xiaoxiao didn't find any information about her from various sources, and it was as if she had disappeared from the world.Ouyang Zhenhua was also looking for Lin Xiaowen.
He didn't want Lin Xiaowen to drop out at such a crucial moment.
This was a huge blow to him.
He and Li Jianwen arrived at Lin Village.
The houses in Lin Village were built on a mountain, and they were built from the heights of the mountains.
They were led by Lin Menghua to Lin Xiaowen's house.
When they entered the house, they saw that the room was dark, and only a few rays of light shot into the skylights on the roof.
The surrounding walls seemed to be moldy, and it was so dark that it scared people.There was no fire in the room, nor was there any cooking.
There were only two children.
When the two children saw that someone had come, they placed some dry firewood in the brazier and started to light it.There was a stove behind the door.
It was made from a few pieces of earth brick.
There were two pots on it, and the dark stove could reflect light.Behind the stove, there was a cupboard filled with bowls and chopsticks.
It was unknown which dynasty it was, but the surface was covered in dust.
There was a red couplet on the counter, which had turned black.
On it was clearly written: The bowl was filled with three rivers of water and there was a five fragrance in the cabinet.Next to the cabinet were two buckets.
There was still half a bucket of water left in one of the buckets and a thick layer of dust floated on the surface.Ouyang Zhenhua's eyes became moist.
He let out a long sigh and said, "It's my fault that I didn't do my job well.""Mayor, there's nothing we can do!"Lin Menghua said with difficulty.Ouyang Zhenhua patted Lin Menghua on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to say it.
I understand.
It's not bad that my family is able to eat their fill.
It's hard for you to tell me about her family's situation."Lin Menghua licked his cracked lips and said, "Xiaowen's mother passed away from an illness at the beginning of the year.
Her father doesn't return home all day and gambles away.
This is her sister-in-law."Ouyang Zhenhua looked at the two kids and asked, "Where's your father?"The two children shook their heads in confusion.Ouyang Zhenhua knew that the child didn't know anything.
He hurried to the outside of the room, but he had never felt so stifled.
He took several deep breaths of fresh air and took out fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Lin Menghua, "Buy some clothes and food for the child.""How can you do that?
You're not rich, so I'll do it.
""I know that you only have fifty yuan a month, and you still have to support your family.
It's enough.
My family is a dual worker, so fifty yuan isn't much.
Besides, I'm giving them to the two children, not to you.
Just accept them.
"Lin Menghua received Ouyang Zhenhua's money.
He knew that the mayor didn't have a lot of income.
Three hundred yuan a month.
Children needed money to go to school, and they had to rely on money to buy food and drink.
It wasn't easy for him either.
Even though he was poor in the countryside, there were fields and fields.
As long as he worked hard and collected a portion of sweat, he would be able to eat his fill.However, Ouyang Zhenhua didn't spend any money, and he even had to spend money on favors and gifts.
Before leaving, Lin Menghua had given Ouyang Zhenhua a bag of his own beans.
This was something that had never happened before, especially when it came to him.
If he didn't invite any guests to send gifts or curry favor with his superiors, then he would have a backbone.
But today, he sincerely wanted to give it to the mayor..No matter what Ouyang Zhenhua said, he couldn't take his bean.
Just as the two of them were about to push the bean away, someone shouted."Linling's hung up.
Someone, hurry up!"Ouyang Zhenhua and Lin Menghua hurried into the Lin manor, and the door was smashed open.
Linling was lying on the ground, and Lin Menghua's wife was crying out loud."Linling, my dear daughter, you can't leave.
There's nothing to discuss.
Why do you have to make a short meeting..."Lin Menghua stood dumbfounded in the middle of the room, his mouth hanging open for a long time without uttering a single word.Lin Menghua's wife saw Lin Menghua's arrival.
She wiped away her tears and stood up in anger.
She pointed her finger at Lin Menghua and said fiercely, "It's you.
You killed her.
I'll go all out against you today."Instantly, she grabbed Lin Menghua and grabbed him again and again.
Several bloody marks appeared on his face, and Ouyang Zhenhua quickly separated the two of them.Seeing that it was the mayor, Lin Menghua's wife grabbed Ouyang Zhenhua's hand and cried, "Mayor, you have to uphold justice for me!""Sister-in-law, don't get agitated.
I'll help you deal with anything."Everyone pinched each other, shook Linling, and touched a cup of tea.
Linling slowly opened his eyes, and his throat trembled as he let out a long sigh.Lin Menghua's wife cried as soon as she saw Linling open his eyes.Ouyang Zhenhua turned around and looked at Linling, "What's going on with Lin Menghua?"Lin Menghua knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face as he cried, "She and Xiao Changhe's son, Xiaoan, got together.
The two of them still have to elope, so I locked her up in the house and didn't let her out.
Does that mean she...?"Lin Menghua buried his head between his knees and sobbed.
His wife was also crying."Playing the zither wildly.
Isn't it a good thing for these two to get along?
But you two Ouyang Zhenhua was so angry that he paced back and forth in the room.
He had never been this angry before.
He felt heavier on his shoulders."Let's go to Xiao Changhe's house.
"Ouyang Zhenhua brought Li Jianwen and Lin Menghua along the way.
Lin Menghua kept crying, but Li Jianwen didn't dare to make a sound.
This was a matter between Xiao Village and Lin Village, and it wasn't convenient for outsiders to interfere.When they arrived at Xiaocun's location, Xiao Changhe walked out to greet them.
His expression didn't look too good today.
When Ouyang Zhenhua saw Xiao Changhe, he asked fiercely, "Where's Xiaoan?""He, he ran away."Xiao Changhe replied fearfully."What a coward!"Ouyang Zhenhua was cursing."Did you know Linling was hung?""I just found out..."Xiao Changhe whispered in a low voice.
Normally, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly."Do you know that interfering with marriage is illegal?""I don't know.
It's just that we don't dare to break the rules of our ancestors.
Otherwise, the villagers will blame us.""Could it be that no one is blaming you now?"Ouyang Zhenhua roared angrily.Xiao Changhe and Lin Menghua both lowered their heads and remained silent.Ouyang Zhenhua looked at them for a long time and then asked calmly, "What do you two think about this?"Xiao Changhe looked at Lin Menghua.
Lin Menghua stood there dumbfounded, as if he was a log of wood."Mayor, I'll listen to you.
""Then what about village head Lin Menghuarin?"Lin Menghua nodded."Very well.
You two shake hands first and don't interfere with their marriage anymore."Ouyang Zhenhua ordered.Xiao Changhe glanced at Ouyang Zhenhua.
Under his influence, he extended his hand.Lin Menghua didn't even extend a hand.
Instead, he suddenly roared, "Xiaocun and I aren't done yet.
My daughter won't marry someone with the surname Xiao."Ouyang Zhenhua grabbed hold of Lin Menghua and threatened, "Village Chief Lin, calm down.
Interacting with marriage is illegal.
There are two paths right now: one is to shake hands, and the other two villages will be personally led by the law.
The other is to follow me and send you to justice.
This matter will be handled by the law."Lin Menghua glared at Ouyang Zhenhua and sneered, "town lord, you don't have to threaten me.
I'm not a three-year-old.""Village Chief Lin, I think you understand.
Do you want to repeat this tragedy?
Do you really want to force Linling to death?
Do you want to be the sinner of Rhoka Town?"Ouyang Zhenhua said ruthlessly.Lin Menghua shuddered.
He had no choice but to reach out and hold Xiao Changhe's hand.
Ouyang Zhenhua grabbed the two of them and let out a long sigh.Even though Lin Menghua had shook hands with Xiao Changhe, he didn't think that he would marry his daughter to Xiaoan.
He hated his daughter even more.
He had never expected that the obedient Linling would dare to go against his will, causing Lin Menghua to lose face and lose face.
If he returned home, he would definitely discipline Linling severely.Lin Menghua returned to the village in a huff.
The dark door of his home was tightly shut, and he raised his leg and kicked the door open.
There was no one in the house, and neither his daughter nor his wife knew where to go.
It was only after asking around that Lin Menghua found out that his wife had brought his daughter back to his mother's home.
Lin Menghua sat down on the threshold, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
His anger had yet to subside, and he hated Xiao Changhe even more.
He had been struck by lightning that day, and he felt his heart ache.The setting sun slowly approached the peak of the western mountains, leaving behind the last ray of light for Rhoka Town and Lin Menghua.
His face had no other colours except for the light.
He didn't care about the light.
Today's setting sun was completely different, just like the vegetation in Rhoka Town, it didn't change.
All that changed was his mood..
