Chapter 924： Volunteer to be the scapegoat

After hesitating for a moment, Brother Jiang responded.

They say that people become better with age, how could Cai Xiufen not hear something? However, as she was on the road, she suppressed her doubts for the time being, thinking that everything would be clear to her when she got home.

About halfway through the journey, Luo Yanqing deliberately slowed down. Seeing this, Jiang Li was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

“Come up.”

Moving in front of Jiang Li, Luo Yanqing bent his knees. It was obvious that he was going to carry Jiang Li the rest of the way.

"Need not."

Jiang Li shook his head: "I'm not tired."

Luo Yanqing heard this, but without saying a word, he carried her on his back and said, "Be good, don't move."

His little girl is not heavy, so it is effortless to carry her on her back.

"The road is not easy to walk on. If you carry me on your back like this, it will only make me walk slower."

Lying on the man's back, Jiang Li's soft voice was full of concern: "Let me down, I don't want you to work hard."

Luo Yanqing’s lips curved slightly: “It’s easy for me to carry you.”

“Brother, they are all looking back at us!”

Jiang Li's cheeks were slightly warm: "When we enter the house, my mother will definitely say that I bullied you again."

"It's my own wish. If mother says something to you, I will help explain it. As for brother and the others, just see it when you see it!"

He is carrying his own wife, and no one has any reason to find fault with him.

Jiang Lixiao asked: "Aren't you worried about Big Brother and others thinking you are henpecked?"

"I feel sorry for my wife and don't want her to be tired. If this is seen as henpecking, it only means that the eldest brother and the others don't see each other very often. And then again, even if I am henpecked, I am willing to do so."

Speaking slowly and leisurely, Luo Yan's dark eyes were full of smiles. Although Jiang Li couldn't see it, she could easily tell from the man's tone that he was in a good mood!

Jiang Li: "Professor Luo, why are you so nice to me?"

Luo Yanqing: "If I am not good to you, who should I be good to?"

“Because of what?”

Jiang Liming asked about the past.

Luo Yanqing asked back: "You don't know?"

“I want to hear what you have to say!”

Jiang Li has a sweet voice and she acts coquettishly towards the man.

"Then listen carefully, I am good to my own wife. This is a matter of course and there is no reason why."

The clear and pleasant voice was full of tenderness. When Jiang Li heard the words, he rolled his eyes and asked: "Then if I weren't your wife, would you still treat me well?"

Luo Yanqing: "There is no such assumption. It is a fact that you are my wife."

Laughing softly, Jiang Li's red lips traced a slight arc: "Does that mean you don't show any pretense to women other than me?"

Hearing this, Luo Yanqing responded: "I will keep my distance from all creatures of the opposite **** except you."

“Our Professor Luo is awesome!”

Speaking, Jiang Li kissed the man's handsome face.

Luo Yanqing: "This is the minimum a husband should do, but I am very happy to be praised by you."

No matter what he does, he will never let his lover suffer the slightest injustice!

The snow under his feet made a "creeping" sound. Jiang Li looked ahead and could already see Aoli Village. At this time, she patted Luo Yanqing's back: "Put me down, we will be at the entrance of the village soon."

“I’ll carry it a little further.”

Luo Yanqing did not stop, he continued to move forward with Jiang Li on his back.

“You will make me spoiled like this.”

Being pampered by her man, Jiang Li is naturally happy and happy, but the man belongs to her family, and as a wife, she feels sorry for him at the same time.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but pat the man on the shoulder again: "I want to come down and walk with you."

Luo Yanqing: "Fifty meters, do you think it's okay?"

"No, you have carried me two miles, and I feel bad."

Jiang Li struggled slightly, indicating that she really had to think about it. Seeing her determination, Luo Yanqing did not persist: "Then slow down."

When Jiang Li stood firm on the ground, he directly took her hand: "Let's go."

…

It was too cold and there were still snowflakes in the air, so Jiang Li and his party did not see many villagers on the village road.

“Mom, look! My grandpa and aunt are standing at the gate of the courtyard!”

Minghan's voice suddenly sounded.

Jiang Li responded with a smile: "I saw it!"

“Ruirui! Hanhan! Weiwei!”

Jiang Yiheng and several other cousins ​​ran forward with smiles and greeted Mingrui and the others before the carriage arrived.

“Cousin Heng, Cousin Fei, Cousin Lin... hello!”

Minghan took off his mask, pulled the scarf around his neck, and showed a big smile to his cousins.

Mingrui and Mingwei also said hello to these cousins.

“Mistress, sister-in-law…”

Jiang Yiheng took the lead, and several cousins ​​called Cai Xiufen, Jiang Li and others with smiling faces.

“How come I didn’t see your third brother?”

Except for the second brother's nephew who is not in his hometown, the second brother and the third brother are missing from the first house, and the third and fourth brothers are all there. The second son of the first house, that is, Jiang Yichen, is over there where Brother Jiang is stationed. In this way , among all the nephews at home, only the youngest Jiang Yihong is missing a big house.

Jiang Li felt strange and couldn't help but ask Jiang Yiheng.

“Lying in the house!”

Jiang Yiheng put away the smile on his face and said: "My third brother is being stupid. He can't listen to what my father and my parents say. He has been shutting himself in his room recently."

“What happened?”

Jiang Li looked confused.

“Sister-in-law, you’d better ask my third brother.”

Haoduanduan said that he wanted to marry Yan Zhiqing, who was an educated youth, that Yan Zhiqing was pregnant with his child, and that he was responsible for Yan Zhiqing, where did all this go?

You spend all your time reviewing your homework at home before the college entrance examination, and rarely go out after the college entrance examination. How come you fell in love with a female educated youth?

Jiang Yiheng really didn’t understand what his third brother was thinking, and he wanted to take the blame for himself.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows: "You can't say it?"

Jiang Yiyang said "hmm".

“Okay, my sister-in-law knows.”

Jiang Li smiled and followed his family into the courtyard.

"It's warm on the kang. Come on up and sit down."

In the main room, Captain Jiang looked at Luo Yanqing, Zhou Heng, and Zhang Lei, and then he turned his attention to Jiang Liniang and others: "Li Bao, take the children to sit on the kang."

“I’m not cold.”

Jiang Li shook his head.

"Li Bao, listen to our father and go sit on the kang. We will have dinner in a while."

Sister-in-law Jiang, wearing an apron around her waist, said with a smile: "Dad asked your third sister-in-law and I to stew a pot of meat for you to eat when you come back!"

Jiang Li: "No wonder I smelled the aroma of meat as soon as I entered the courtyard."

With that said, Jiang Li turned his gaze to Cai Xiufen: "Mom, please take a break. I'll go to the kitchen to help my elder sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, and the others."

Clinker, before Cai Xiufen could say anything, Sister-in-law Jiang waved her hand directly: "I don't need your help. You and my mother should rest. Your third sister-in-law and I have two pots burning, and there is a big white steamed bun steaming in one." , one with stewed meat inside…”

After hearing what Mrs. Jiang said, Jiang Li's eyes were full of smiles: "I feel hungry just listening to this. It seems that I will have to eat more for dinner later."

“This is at home, so feel free to eat it with an open stomach!”

Sister-in-law Jiang is a cheerful person. As she spoke, she looked at Sister-in-law Jiang and said, "I'm afraid the steamed buns are overcooked. Check the time. If it's time, take them out."

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang went directly to the kitchen without saying anything.

Speaking of which, it was already a quarter past four in the afternoon when Jiang Li and his party entered the house, and it gets dark early in winter. In addition, Auli Village is in the mountains, so it inevitably gets dark earlier than outside.

For example, it’s just past four o’clock now, but the sky is already getting dark, and almost every household in the village is preparing dinner in this shop.

Therefore, Jiang Li and his party returned home at the right time.

Supper is sweet potato and corn grits with large white flour cotton wool and pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli.

The whole family, including Zhou Heng and Zhang Lei, were very satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, Jiang Li followed Sister-in-law Jiang and Sister-in-law Jiang to the kitchen to clean up. During this period, before she could ask about her nephew Jiang Yihong, she heard Sister-in-law Jiang tell her everything.

At this moment, Jiang Li paused in wiping the water stains on the bowl with a rag. She was quite unbelievable: "Yihong insists that the child of that female educated youth is his?"

Sister-in-law Jiang's eyes were full of sorrow and she nodded: "It's very arrogant. No matter how your elder brother and I ask, he always says that the child is his and he wants to marry Yan Zhiqing."

Jiang Li: "Then before Yihong proposed to marry Yan Zhiqing, no one in the family really discovered that he had contact with that Yan Zhiqing?"

Sister-in-law Jiang: "He is basically at home before and after the college entrance examination. Even if he goes out, he is usually accompanied by several children."

Jiang Li: "Does that mean he has never been alone?"

Sister-in-law Jiang nodded again.

After a long silence, Jiang Li asked about Yan Zhiqing: "What kind of person is that Yan Zhiqing?"

“She is pretty among female educated youths,” this was Jiang Sansao’s voice. She said while washing the pot: “She looks soft and weak, talks little, and likes to be alone.”

Sister-in-law Jiang: "I think she is a decent girl, but when your third sister-in-law and I ask questions, she bursts into tears, making us uncomfortable."

“What did dad and eldest brother say?”

Such a big thing happened at home, and Jiang Li didn’t believe that her father had no idea.

“Dad couldn’t get anything out of that brat’s mouth, so he just told me and your elder brother to figure it out.”

Sister-in-law Jiang put away the dishes and chopsticks that Jiang Li had wiped off the water stains. She frowned and said, "I think Jiang Yihong is just trying to raise a child for others!"

Jiang Li was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "There must be something hidden in this. I'll go and ask about it later."

“There’s nothing much to do in the kitchen. Why don’t you go and ask now if your brother and I are eating well and sleeping well these days? We’re almost worried to death because of that brat!”

Sister-in-law Jiang was really worried and irritable. As she said this, she pushed Jiang Li out of the kitchen: "You brat will listen to your sister-in-law the most. Maybe you can ask me something."

“That’s not necessarily true. Yihong is a big guy now. If he doesn’t want to say anything, there’s nothing I can do against him.”

Jiang Li said with a smile, then waved to Mrs. Jiang and walked up to find Jiang Yihong.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Standing outside the door, Jiang Li knocked on the door with his fingers.

But there was no response from the room.

“Knock knock knock!” Jiang Li knocked on the door again and called Jiang Yihong: “I am my sister-in-law, aren’t you going to open the door for me?”

“Sister-in-law?”

Jiang Yihong's voice came out, but there was a trace of uncertainty in it.

"it's me."

Jiang Li coughed twice: "Don't you know I'm coming home today? Jiang Yihong, if you don't want to disappoint me, please open the door for me quickly."

As her voice fell, the door was opened from inside. Jiang Yihong looked at Jiang Li: "Sister-in-law."

"Um."

Jiang Li responded and walked into the room.

“Tell me, what troubles have you caused at home recently?”

Sitting on the chair, Jiang Li raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yihong: "Don't try to frustrate me by answering your parents and your father."

Pursing his lips, Jiang Yihong was silent for a long time. He met Jiang Li's indifferent gaze and said, "I can't say."

Jiang Li frowned: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Yihong: "Sister-in-law... I will get married sooner or later. In that case, why not marry Yan Zhiqing now?"

“Does your family not allow you to get married?”

Jiang Li stared at Jiang Yihong: "Your father and your parents just don't want you to be a father and don't want you to raise children for others!"

“The child is mine.”

Jiang Yihong looked away from Jiang Li and said something in a low voice.

“Look me in the eye and repeat it, and tell me when you and Yan Zhiqing got along.”

The brat is really stubborn. He obviously feels guilty at first sight, but he still insists that the child of Yan Zhiqing is his. Could it be that the brat really likes the other person, so he doesn’t mind that she is pregnant with someone else’s child, and he has no regrets. Be a scapegoat?

"Sister-in-law... I have sworn an oath, can you please stop forcing me?"

Jiang Yihong looked struggling and at a loss. He said: "Yan Zhiqing is a good girl. I like her and want to marry her as my wife. This is completely my truest thought."

"I see,"

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Li's lips: "Because Yan Zhiqing is beautiful, you fell in love with her, so you are willing to help Yan Zhiqing raise her child, and for the sake of Yan Zhiqing's reputation and the child in her belly, you are Zhuoyan Zhiqing vowed not to tell his family the truth, right? "

It sounds like a question, but Jiang Li actually uses a declarative tone.

Hearing this, Jiang Yihong was stunned for a moment.

“It seems that I was right.”

With a smile on her face, Jiang Li asked, "Are you sure you won't regret it in the future?"

"Won't."

Jiang Yihong shook his head decisively.

“What is the situation of that educated youth Yan now? You must know that you have been admitted to university, where is she?”

Looking directly into Jiang Yihong's eyes, the smile in Jiang Li's eyes dissipated. Her eyes were clear, as if she could see into people's hearts.

After a long silence, Jiang Yihong said: "Yan Zhiqing didn't pass the exam."

"Where is her home? Who else is there? Has she written to tell her relatives about you and her? Does the biological father of the child in her belly know about the child's existence?"

Jiang Li Surong, she asked three questions in a row, waiting for Jiang Yihong's answer.

And Jiang Yihong's expression changed imperceptibly, but he was caught in Jiang Li's eyes again.

"Yan Zhiqing is from Beicheng. I don't know about her family affairs..."

Jiang Yihong said, but soon lost his voice.

Jiang Li: “Continue.”

"I…"

Jiang Yihong’s lips twitched, not knowing what to say.

“Don’t you know what to say?”

Jiang Li tapped her finger on the table, and she looked at Jiang Yihong thoughtfully: "If you don't know, then ask. If Yan Zhiqing really wanted to marry you, he wouldn't hide anything from you.

Go, I'll wait in your room. If you don't know how to ask, you might as well call Yan Zhiqing to our house, tell her that I want to see her, and tell her that maybe I can help get you together. "

“Sister-in-law…”

Jiang Yihong stood still.

"Don't you believe me? You have to know that your grandparents and your parents will stand by me on anything I agree with. In other words, no one in this family can help you and that person except me. They became a couple."

It’s not that Jiang Li was arrogant, it was that when the original owner was growing up, the family never said a word “no” to the little girl.

Of course, she would not help the brat in front of her speak to the educated young man without knowing the truth of the matter or his character.

In life, it is not easy to meet the right person at the right time. If Yan Zhiqing was really a good person and did not choose to marry her nephew because he was taking advantage of Jiang Yihong, everything would be easy.

Seeing Jiang Yihong leave, Jiang Li raised his eyebrows: "Don't want to go? Or do you think you won't tell the other party if you ask? Or maybe the other party doesn't dare to come to see me?"

After a slight hesitation, Jiang Yihong said: "I'll go, I'll go to the educated youth center."

Jiang Li: “You can leave.”

…

Educated Youth Point currently has eight male educated youths and five female educated youths.

To facilitate the living of educated youths, the brigade built an educated youth courtyard in the early years. Two dormitories for male educated youths and two dormitories for female educated youths were built directly, and each room was equipped with a large heated kang.

Speaking of which, I have to mention that when the college entrance examination results came out, there were eleven male educated youths and eight female educated youths in the Educated Youth Academy. As the college admission notices were issued, there were three male educated youths and three female educated youths. As soon as the six received the notice, they packed their bags and returned to the city.

Among the rest, there are many who have waiting notices, but the proportion of those who have not passed the exam is larger.

And Yan Zhiqing, whose name is Yan Rou, is one of the people who has never passed the line. Because of her introverted personality, there was originally a female educated youth in the dormitory where she lived. However, people thought that Yan Rou was boring, so there was another girl in the dormitory. When the bunk was empty, he moved his own bedroll over.

Leu Yanrou lives alone.

“You…what’s wrong with you?”

The dormitory door was pushed open, and Yan Rou saw a female educated youth named Wang Qin who had lived in the same dormitory as her walk in. She looked at him quietly and asked.

“It’s nothing, I just came over to talk to you.”

Wang Qin closed the door, then she walked forward and sat by the kang.

“How come you haven’t seen your partner come to you recently?”

 After staring at Yan Rou for a long time, Wang Qin looked like I care about you and said, "I heard that he was admitted to college, right?"

“We have broken up.”

With her eyelids drooping, Yan Rou casually flipped through the high school mathematics textbook in her hand.

"Oh no!"

Wang Qin looked surprised: "How is this possible? He seems to like you very much, so why did he break up with you all of a sudden? Could it be that he broke up with you because he disliked you for not going to college?"

Yan Rou pursed her lips and remained silent. After a moment, she said, "Our personalities don't get along."

“Did your partner say that?”

When Wang Qin heard this, she curled her lips: "If there was really a personality incompatibility, why would he have left so early? If you ask me, he must have disliked you for not going to college and was afraid that you would drag him back, so he chose to break up with you. By the way. , then what are you going to do?”

"I…"

The corners of Yan Rou's mouth moved, but she didn't say anything for a long time.

"Some people say that you are in love with the captain's family member named Jiang Yihong. Is this true?" Yan Rou looked up at Wang Qin and remained silent for a long time.

Wang Qin felt a little uncomfortable. She coughed twice and said, "Don't look at me like that. I heard it from Trinina. She said she saw you coming down the mountain with that Jiang Yihong a few days ago."

Yan Rou, in my opinion, if this is true, then you have to seize the opportunity. Compared to your original partner, Jiang Yihong is much better than him!

Think about it, first of all, Jiang Yihong is better looking than your partner, and secondly, Jiang Yihong has also been admitted to college. Even though his family is in a rural area, there are many people in Jiang Yihong's family working outside.

Especially Jiang Yihong's sister-in-law. She is not only a well-known athlete who has won several gold medals for her country, but she also got perfect scores in the college entrance examination and is a well-deserved top scorer in science.

Furthermore, Jiang Yihong’s uncle is very special. If you really marry him, you will definitely live a good life in the future! "

Yan Rou was silent for a long time. She looked at Wang Qin and said, "I am not worthy of Comrade Jiang Yihong."

“Why do you say that?”

Wang Qin frowned slightly: "You are beautiful and have a gentle personality. As for not being admitted to college, it's not that I didn't pass the exam. Besides, it's not like you can't pass the exam. Don't think too badly of yourself. "

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Jiang Yihong stood outside and knocked on the door: "Yan Zhiqing."

“It’s Comrade Jiang Yihong.”

Wang Qin blinked at Yan Rou. She jumped from the edge of the kang to the ground, took two quick steps and opened the door: "Yan Rou is here, please talk slowly."

Turning back to look at Yan Rou, Wang Qin returned to the dormitory next door.

Jiang Yihong: “My sister-in-law wants to see you.”

Hearing this, Yan Rou was startled at first, and then her eyes turned red. This made Jiang Yihong look a little confused. He asked, "What's wrong with you?"

“I…I’m fine…”

Wiping the corners of her eyes, Yan Rou looked at Jiang Yihong to confirm: "You mean your sister-in-law is back, is that true?"

 Tears lingered in Yan Rou's eyes. Without looking closely, it was not difficult to find that there were too many emotions in Yan Rou's eyes, the most obvious of which were excitement and forbearance.

“Well. My sister-in-law, my uncle, my grandma, and my cousins ​​arrived home at around four o’clock this afternoon.”

Jiang Yihong was full of doubts. He didn’t know what was going on with Yan Rou’s complicated emotions of being both excited and forbearing at the moment. He said, “Are you going to meet my sister-in-law?

I promised to marry you before, but my father and my parents didn't agree. Before I came to the Educated Youth Institute, my sister-in-law talked to me. She said she wanted to meet, and then helped convince other people in my family to agree to you and me. thing. "

“Why are you helping me like this?”

There were tears falling from the corners of Yan Rou's eyes. She bit her lip and said, "You know my situation."

“I can help if I want to, no reason why.”

He doesn't want to kidnap her with his own feelings and wait to help her get through the difficulties. If she wants a divorce, then just like he said to her before, let her and the child go.

Yes, Jiang Yihong likes Yan Rou unilaterally. On the day Yan Rou came to Aoli Village to join the team two years ago, Jiang Yihong just saw her by chance and imprinted Yan Rou's figure in his heart.

He felt that Yan Rou was delicate and beautiful, and she looked good no matter what. He thought that if he could be married to such a girl, he would be very happy for the rest of his life.

But before he could do anything, he accidentally saw the other party walking with a male educated youth from the next brigade in the town.

I felt immediately disappointed.

He originally thought that he and her would never have a future together, but unexpectedly, a few days ago, early in the morning, he ran out of the courtyard to do some exercise and saw the girl he had once been attracted to, Yan Zhiqing, walking up the mountain alone.

With doubts, he followed quietly.

Then... Then he saw her standing on a big stone and jumping to the ground, one after another. As a result, she accidentally fell to the ground and hit her head on a stone as big as an adult's fist.

He hurriedly showed up and found that she was in a coma. When he carried her down the mountain, she woke up on the way... After a brief pause, the cry of "woo woo" sounded in his ears.
