The corners of Yang Guoqing's mouth curled up. This girl was too clear-headed, too clear-headed to be true.

"Teacher Yang, please go find the village chief as soon as possible! Don't waste time~" Chen Shuning reminded.

Yang Guoqing looked at the sky outside and said to Chen Shuning, "Well! I'll be leaving first! Comrade Chen Shuning, goodbye!"

By the way, the school will be selecting a new teacher soon. Are you interested?"

Chen Shuning tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "We'll talk about it later! I'm busy with other things lately~"

Chen Shuning was reviewing her lessons, but she wouldn't tell anyone about this. The resumption of the Gaokao was still only a proposal, and no one knew if it would actually work.

Chen Shuning locked the door and walked out with his hands in his pockets. As soon as he turned around, he heard a small noise in the alley.

"You should take them to Xing Fangcao. I got scolded for getting these meat buns!"

Chen Shuning realized that it was Chen Honglu, so he quickly stopped and hid at the entrance of the alley.

"Old Chen, I won't accept this! Are we going to let this little girl take control of us? I haven't even had a few meat buns, why should I give them to her for free..."

Wei Chunhong was feeling quite reluctant. After Xing Fangcao asked her for a new cotton-padded jacket today, her dissatisfaction reached its peak.

Chen Honglu was also unwilling, but what could he do? He had been caught by someone else!

Chen Honglu coaxed Wei Chunhong: "You eat one first! Anyway, I haven't promised her how many to give!"

Wei Chunhong pouted, took out a meat bun from the basket and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Wei Chunhong had food in her mouth and spoke vaguely: "Hong Lu... cotton-padded jacket, what should I do! That... Xing Fangcao is too greedy..."

"She still wants to wear a new cotton-padded jacket. Why doesn't she go to heaven? This damn girl~"

Chen Honglu learned about this at noon and spent the whole afternoon thinking about how to get a new cotton-padded jacket! Where to get it?

The money at home was counted! He had to bite the bullet and take the few cents for the meat buns from home. Yang Daping cursed so harshly because of these few cents!

Chen Honglu was also angry when he mentioned this matter. He said viciously: "Let's invite her to the woods tomorrow. I will tell her in person!"

Chen Shuning listened to the general idea, crouched down, and quietly took a few steps forward. After making sure that Chen Honglu didn't notice, she ran home.

Chen Shuning thought: No wonder Xing Fangcao returned the cotton-padded jacket to Wei Chunhong today! So she wants a new one! She has a big appetite!

Chen Shuning was so engrossed in his thoughts that he ran so fast when turning a corner that he bumped into Yang Guoqing's arms.

"Ouch!" Chen Shuning twisted her ankle and almost fell, but Yang Guoqing reacted quickly and grabbed her.

"Comrade Chen Shuning, be careful!"

Chen Shuning stood firm and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry! Teacher Yang, I ran too fast and didn't notice you!

Hey? Why haven't you returned to the educated youth camp yet?

Yang Guoqing said helplessly, "Auntie Yang said the village chief hasn't returned home yet, and I can't find him! Comrade Chen Shuning, did you see the village chief when you came over?"

Yang Guoqing didn't dare to take the account book and the remaining money back to the educated youth site. There were many people there and if they were lost, he wouldn't be able to explain himself!

Chen Shuning pointed in the direction of the brigade and said, "Teacher Yang, go to the brigade gate and shout a few times. He might be visiting someone! He can't be far away!"

Chen Honglu was in the alley next to the brigade, but Chen Shuning didn't dare say that he had seen him. He didn't have any real skills and was narrow-minded!

Chen Shuning is not as clueless as Xing Fangcao! She exposed herself just for a little profit.

If Xing Fangcao hadn't shown up that day, the matter would have been left unresolved! With Wei Chunhong watching Chen Honglu, he didn't dare to do anything to Xing Fangcao!

But who could have imagined that Xing Fangcao was so greedy and played a good hand so badly!

"Okay! I'll look for the village chief again. Comrade Chen Shuning, you go home first! Go slowly and watch the road!" Yang Guoqing went towards the brigade with his briefcase.

After Yang Guoqing left, Chen Shuning covered his face and said, "This is so embarrassing!"

How shameful! How could you just run headfirst into someone's arms?

"Shuning, is that you? Why are you standing there instead of going home?"

Chen Shuning responded, "Brother, it's me! I just fell and I'm going home now! What are you doing out here?"

"Jiawang is worried about you, so we two said we would go to the brigade to pick you up!" This was Xu Qingshan's voice.

Chen Shuning said embarrassedly: "Xu Zhiqing is here too!"

Chen Shuning took a few steps forward before he spotted Chen Jiawang and Xu Qingshan. They were hiding in the darkness, and if they didn't make any noise, they wouldn't be visible at all!

Xu Qingshan smiled and said, "Yeah! Where did you fall? It didn't hurt, did it?"

Chen Shuning was even more embarrassed...

Chen Jiawang also asked: "Yeah! Where did it fall? If it's broken, tell me quickly!"

Chen Shuning blushed and said awkwardly, "I didn't fall! Teacher Yang just passed by and helped me up!"

Chen Shuning didn't know when his second brother would come. If he lied, he was afraid of being exposed! It would be even more embarrassing if he was exposed.

"I'm glad you're okay! Let's go home!" Chen Jiawang turned and left.

Xu Qingshan paused and whispered, "Shuning, you go ahead! I'll follow behind you."

Chen Shuning nodded and followed Chen Jiawang. Xu Qingshan's eyes flashed and he followed.

Before entering the courtyard, Chen Shuning saw the light coming from the house. She said suspiciously, "The lights are on at home today? How fresh~"

Chen Jiawang nodded and replied, "Yes! We have guests at home today."

It’s really fresh!

Chen Shuning asked quietly, "Who's here? Why haven't they left yet at this late hour?"

"He's a policeman from the police station, Guo Junshan~" Chen Jiawang had a very good impression of Guo Junshan. He was a good policeman who did his job impartially!

Chen Shuning found it even more surprising: "He's not even related to us, why would he come to our house?"

Li Zhen heard voices outside, pushed open the door, stuck her head out and asked, "Shuning! Are you back? If you are, come over for dinner!"

Chen Jiawang urged, "Grandma's calling you! Hurry up and go over! Qingshan and I are going to read a book!"

Chen Shuning responded and walked into his grandparents' room.

The stove was still burning. Chen Shuning sat on the bench and warmed his hands by the fire.

Li Zhen opened the lid of the pot, took out the warm porridge and steamed buns from the pot, and placed them on the eight-immortals table.

"Shuning, come and eat! I'll keep it warm for you!"

As soon as Chen Shuning sat down on the chair, a pair of hands appeared in front of him. The fingers were white and slender, with distinct joints. Under the light, they looked particularly attractive!

The hands opened the square oil-paper package on the table, took out a piece of peach cake from it, and handed it to her.

"I bought some peach cakes. Try them! They're pretty good!"

Chen Shuning looked up along his arm and saw Guo Junshan's handsome face.

Chen Feng walked out of the house and said, "Junshan, no need! You can take it back later! It's too expensive!"

Chen Shuning said blankly: "No need... This is enough for me! I don't eat much..."

Guo Junshan broke the peach cake into two halves and stuffed it into Chen Shuning's hands.

He came in the evening and deliberately lingered until now, just waiting for Chen Shuning to come back!

The Chen family took such good care of Grandpa, so it was only right for him to buy some gifts! As for Chen Shuning, Guo Junshan made cotton clothes for Grandpa to thank her.

Guo Junshan turned to Chen Feng and said, "Grandpa Chen, this little thing is nothing to me. Please don't be polite! Let's go in. I still have a few questions!"

"I'm not being polite! Just come if you want to. What are you bringing? Even if you don't bring anything, I will cooperate with your work."

Li Zhen came over, touched Chen Shuning's arm, and said softly, "Eat quickly!"

Inside the room, Guo Junshan picked up his pen again and asked, "Grandpa Chen, so you and Comrade Wang Simin have known each other for a long time?"

Chen Feng nodded and replied, "Yes! We used to be in the same company. However, he was sent down for a few years and we haven't had any contact!"

Guo Junshan raised the corners of his mouth helplessly and smiled silently!

If this old man didn't know the truth, he would definitely be deceived!

"Don't be nervous! I'm not from the Revolutionary Committee, so I won't criticize or denounce anyone! I came here just to learn about Comrade Wang Simin's specific situation!"

"The higher-ups have issued instructions to re-verify whether Wang Simin is actually from a capitalist background! The institute sent me here to investigate."

Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief! Of course I have to help, but I can't acknowledge this favor!

"Comrade Wang Simin, your biological father is from Beijing. He is indeed a capitalist! But he is..."

Chen Shuning ate his meal slowly and listened to the grandfather in the room talking about Grandpa Wang.

"Speaking of which, he's had a harder life than the average person! His biological father only gave him a surname... and never took care of him!"

Guo Junshan also feels sad!

For the first time, he blamed his grandfather for not telling the truth! With his background, how could he be considered a capitalist?
