rebirth of cataclysm

The news that Hu Jianqiang was elected as the new village director of Huangni Village spread back, and Hu Mingchen's house once again became a gathering place in the surrounding area. All the neighbors gathered to congratulate him.

It is his honor that Hu Jianqiang can serve as the village chief, but it is also the glory of the third group. Over the years, the village chief has been served by people from the second group. After the reform and opening up, the two village directors were both from the second group, and the previous ones were

The village chiefs are divided into groups one and four. In the power struggle in the village, group three is always marginalized.

Now it's fine, it's finally the turn of the three groups to show off their style, and everyone is naturally happy.

Apart from anything else, if Hu Jianqiang becomes the village director, it will be much easier for the three groups of people to do things in the future. They will not have to climb uphill for 20 minutes each time to find Wu Chuhui. On the contrary, they will have to go to the village chief to get things done.

Come down, your dignity.

Speaking of which, Hu Mingchen was most concerned about Hu Jianqiang becoming the village director, but it was Zhong Ying who was most proud.

His youngest son became the leader of the village. This old lady could not hide her pride. Everyone she met said that her son had become the village chief. Moreover, the tone of her speech to the villagers began to change unknowingly.

There are subtle changes.

Just when Hu Jianqiang's appointment was announced in the township, Hu Mingchen himself also completed his final exams and officially graduated from elementary school.

"Hu Mingchen, you will be studying in the city next semester, and we are so reluctant to leave you." On the day when transcripts were distributed, Mao Feng accompanied Hu Mingchen out of the classroom gloomily.

Teacher Ma Yi has just announced that Hu Mingchen's score is double 100, and he will not continue to study at Duge Middle School, but will choose to continue studying at the No. 3 Middle School in the city. As for his primary school graduation examination results,

There is no problem in entering the third middle school in the city.

"Man, I just went to study. It's not like I won't come back. Why are you so sad? I will still come back to play with you when I have time." Hu Mingchen hugged Mao Feng's shoulders and said.

"To put it lightly, you have been in the same class with us for the past half semester, but you have rarely played with us, let alone after you went to the city, it is even more impossible." Luo Zhizheng was walking in the street.

The man next to him lowered his head and said.

"I'm busy with something, right? I often play with you in school." Hu Mingchen said apologetically.

In the past six months, or in other words, a year, Hu Mingchen had hardly played with the three of them after school. He would either rush home or go to the cinema after school, and sometimes even go directly to the city for a few days.

There are many things to do and busyness is one aspect. On the other hand, Hu Mingchen also feels that the children's games with them are indeed a bit low. Hu Mingchen cannot lie on the ground with them and smash cardboard, nor can he squat in the corner with them and play marbles.

His time must be spent on more precious things, such as making money, such as reading books, such as practicing boxing. In short, it is really impossible for Hu Mingchen to play the game of playing house with a baby.

In the classroom, Hu Mingchen thought it was okay to play and fight with each other. Therefore, he gradually became alienated from them.

"In school, you often ignore us." Gu Xiaoqi said.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you three doing? Why do you act like you are parting from each other? You three are going to junior high school too. You study hard and come to the city to go to high school with me.

Well. I'm waiting for you, and no matter where you go in the future, you three will be my friends and my brothers. My home is still in Duge." Hu Mingchen jumped from the stairs to the three of them.

Walk forward.

"Stop talking nonsense. How can we rely on schools in the city? To be honest, even if we can afford the exam, we can't afford to study." Mao Feng threw the canvas schoolbag behind his shoulder and said.

"That's bullshit. As long as you can pass the exam, why can't you afford to go to school? I'll tell you something here. As long as you can pass the exam, I'll help you with the expenses. That's OK. Tuition and living expenses are included.

No problem, what's mine is yours." What Hu Mingchen said was not in line with his status, but in order to motivate them to be positive, Hu Mingchen didn't mind making such a promise, and he also had the strength to fulfill it.

"Are you serious? Hu Mingchen, are you trying to trick me?" Luo Zhizheng asked doubtfully.

"Damn it, when have I never kept my word? When have I deceived you? I, Hu Mingchen, will definitely do what I say, and I will do what I say." Hu Mingchen jumped up and slapped Luo Zhizheng on the head.

"It's true, in my memory, Hu Mingchen never had scalpers." Mao Feng scratched his head and said.

"That's it. So, it's up to you three to decide whether you are a dragon or a tiger. You will know soon. As long as you can pass the high school entrance examination, not to mention just high school, I will take care of you even in college.

,How about it, is it interesting enough?"

"Hu Mingchen, what about me? Can I also enjoy this treatment?" Gu Xiaoqi rushed forward and said.

"Gu Xiaoqi, it's not like your family has no money, why are you trying to grab a gun from us?" Luo Zhizheng chased Gu Xiaoqi.

"My family is quite wealthy. My father no longer sells pigs. My mother fell down the stairs and spent all the money she had." Gu Xiaoqi said, shaking off Luo Zhizheng.

"Stop arguing. We will treat everyone equally. It's okay for all three of you. It's best if the three of you come together. Then we can get a dormitory and we can live together." Hu Mingchen waved his hand.

Gu Xiaoqi's mother slipped and fell down the stairs while climbing the stairs to hang bags. Hu Mingchen knew about this because he heard Gu Xiaoqi say it. For this reason, Hu Mingchen bought some things and went back with him to visit her once.

Gu Xiaoqi's mother can't work in the fields, so his father can only stay at home to take care of the children and do farm work at the same time. In terms of conditions, it has indeed dropped a lot compared to before. Gu Xiaoqi has not had any food for a long time.

This is evident when you get pocket money.

"Okay, then we must study hard, strive to be among the top, and try to get admitted to the city to continue studying." Mao Feng said with his chest puffed up.

Luo Zhizheng and Gu Xiaoqi also enthusiastically expressed their determination and hope.

That being said, Hu Mingchen still knew that it was not that difficult to go from Duge Middle School to a high school in the city. Anyway, there were really only a handful of students who were promoted from Duge Middle School to county middle schools and city middle schools every year.

.

"Come on, I'm treating you today. Let's have a good meal. I'll listen to you today. You can eat whatever you want. Don't be polite." Hu Mingchen turned around, raised his hand and said boldly.

"Wow, that's great. I'll think about what I want to eat." Gu Xiaoqi jumped up excitedly and said.

"I want to eat instant noodles and drink soda." Luo Zhizheng said.

"Eating convenience and drinking soda? Do you have any pursuits? Is this good? You have to have a big meal after all. Hu Mingchen treated a guest. After eating this time, I don't know when the next time will be." Gu

Xiao Qi protested with disdain.

It's no wonder that Luo Zhizheng would suggest that. For city people, instant noodles and soda are nothing new, but for Luo Zhizheng, under normal circumstances, he can't afford such ordinary things, and he is reluctant to buy them at home.

"I think, let's go eat mutton noodles. The credit union has opened a mutton noodle shop. I heard it's delicious." Mao Feng said.

"It seems that you all can't reach a unified opinion. So, I suggest that we go to a Yi restaurant to eat. They have Qingshui fish made from fish caught in the Qingshui River. How about we eat fish?" They each have their own ideas.

When necessary, Hu Mingchen simply stepped forward and made the decision and unanimously agreed.

To be honest, neither Luo Zhizheng's idea nor Mao Feng's suggestion was anything. It only cost a few dollars, not even ten yuan per person.

Since Hu Mingchen was sincere in asking for a good meal, he might as well go directly to the restaurant.

When they heard that Hu Mingchen was going to a Yi restaurant, the three young men looked at each other in shock.

The three of them had never had a meal in a restaurant, let alone with their friends, or even with the adults at home. So Hu Mingchen's suggestion was a bit scary to them.

"Why are you just standing there stupidly? Don't worry, I can afford it. I won't leave the three of you as collateral after finishing the meal and not having enough money to pay the bill. Luo Zhizheng likes instant noodles, doesn't he? After you finish eating, you can each sign up for another box.

Go back to the instant noodles, let’s go!”

"Oh... ok, let's go, I will follow the boss to the restaurant next time."

This is not the first time for Hu Mingchen to come to the Yi Restaurant. He and Qin Hu have been here before, and they were also here when they entertained Manager Zhang from Wencui Industrial Co., Ltd., so the boss recognized him and did not refuse to entertain them just because they were four little kids.

What's more, Hu Mingchen paid first and didn't wait until he finished eating.

There were no adults around, so the four little guys ate the meal quite boldly and arrogantly. Not only did they gorge themselves on the meal without worrying about their image, they even drank two ounces of wine brewed by the boss with prickly pears.

Drinking was not Hu Mingchen's suggestion, it was Gu Xiaoqi's request, and the boss only dared to give them two taels because he was afraid that too much would cause trouble and he wouldn't be able to bear it.

Twenty taels of wine cost only five cents per person, which was not enough to make them drunk. However, after drinking, everyone except Hu Mingchen turned red.

Since they had graduated from elementary school and were all young men, Hu Mingchen tolerated their wild behavior for a while.

After eating and drinking, Hu Mingchen went to the store next door and bought three boxes of instant noodles for them to carry home.

"Can you go back by yourself? Do you want to send them away?" Hu Mingchen asked slightly worriedly as he looked at the three little guys with red faces.

Hu Mingchen could see that none of them were drunk. If they were all drunk, Hu Mingchen would not need to ask this question.

"No problem, nothing happened. It's not dark yet. Let alone walking, I can just run back." Mao Feng burped and said with satisfaction.

"I'm too full. I can only walk, but I can't run." Luo Zhizheng said, touching his round belly.
