Wei Dongni has grown a lot taller, and she has become a lot more beautiful, and she already looks like a girl. Wang Baoyu liked this child very much, polite and sensible, and couldn't help but smile and ask: "Dong Ni, it's time to go to the third grade, how is your study?" Have you worked hard? ”

"Brother Baoyu, I'm in the fifth grade now, and I'll be in junior high school in the fall." Wei Dongni said proudly.

"Dong Ni has skipped a grade, and she is a rare good student in our village." Lin Zhaodi said lovingly.

"Good! If the road is repaired, we will go to school in Qingyuan Town, where the teachers are much better than in Liuhe Town. Wang Baoyu said happily.

"Well, thank you, big brother." Wei Dongni said happily and sat beside Wang Baoyu affectionately.

"Hehe, this child is close to her brother Baoyu, no wonder, it was Deputy Mayor Wang who saved her life and let her go to school." Wei Youcai said with emotion.

"Hehe, this is also their fate, and it is also cause and effect." Jia Zhengdao said politely, with the flavor of Buddha in and out of his words.

Wei Youcai didn't understand this, he just smiled, Wang Baoyu laughed and said: "I will say hello to the junior high school in Qingyuan Town when I go back, and let Dong Ni go to school in the autumn." ”

Wei Dongni raised her little face confidently and said, "No need to say hello, I will definitely be able to pass the test!" ”

Wang Baoyu happily patted Wei Dongni's little head and said with a smile: "Dongni is really promising, maybe our village can produce a top student from Tsinghua University and Peking University!" ”

"I don't dare to expect that, as long as Dong Ni can support herself in the future and find a down-to-earth person to marry, my mother and I will be satisfied." Wei Youcai said.

"Dong Ni is filial, you just wait to borrow light to live a good life!" Wang Baoyu said with a smile.

Wei Youcai wanted to leave Wang Baoyu the money he had lent to Dong Ni for medical treatment and schooling, but Wang Baoyu confiscated it, saying that he was not short of money now, he would keep more money, and the children would still need to go to school, and Wei Youcai's family naturally left with a thousand thanks.

Wang Baoyu sent their family to the gate, Wei Youcai's family walked far away, Wei Dongni suddenly ran back, blushed and whispered to Wang Baoyu: "Big brother, when I am admitted to college, I will marry you." ”

Wang Baoyu was stunned, this sound familiar, as if Dong Ni had said it when she was a child. Without waiting for Wang Baoyu to speak, Wei Dongni lowered her head and ran away with a smile.

"What a stupid girl who hasn't grown up!" Wang Baoyu shook his head, but this seemingly childish word was also an affirmation and recognition for him, Wang Baoyu was still very happy in his heart, and went back to the house with a smile.

Qian Meifeng hugged the child and looked at Wei Dongni's back, and said to Lin Zhaodi curiously: "Mother, what did Dongni say to Baoyu just now?" ”

Lin Zhaodi didn't notice it, and said with a smile: "What else can the little girl say, she is playing with Baoyu." ”

Qian Meifeng sighed and said, "I don't think it's like this, children are like this now, people are cautious and big-eyed." Lin Zhaodi still smiled and didn't say anything.

After a while, Chi Licai's daughter-in-law Li Cuiping also came to pay New Year's greetings, and she also carried some things, saying that when Wang Baoyu passed by Liuhe Town, she would give it to Chi Licai, the current deputy mayor of Liuhe Town.

Li Cuiping inevitably nagged for a while, saying that Chi Licai would not come back, and did not agree to move his family to Liuhe Town, leaving him alone to live. Wang Baoyu sighed a little, feeling that Chi Licai had really gone too far in this regard, he hadn't gone home for the Spring Festival for three years, needless to say, he must have accompanied the proprietress of Xinglong Hotel, Cuihua!

Of course, Wang Baoyu would not reveal this secret, after all, he had no grievances with Chi Licai, so he had to agree to Li Cuiping's request.

After Li Cuiping left, Jia Zhengdao said with a sigh: "It is said that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, but I don't know that wild flowers are not as long as domestic flowers." ”

Wang Baoyu asked a little funny: "Dad, you didn't go to the town either, how do you know that Chi Licai raised wild flowers?" ”

Jia Zhengdao stroked his beard and said proudly: "Needless to say, I have been practicing for so long, and I can see through his cause and effect at a glance." ”

"Dad, you can see through what other people are when you open your eyes, and you are panicking when you listen to it. Keep your mouth shut, don't talk nonsense. Lin Zhaodi couldn't help but remind.

"I don't have that much time to spare! There is nothing in the world, and mediocrity disturbs itself. Jia Zhengdao said, and walked out of the east house under the kang and went to the west house to see Duoduo.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Wang Baoyu officially embarked on the way home, and the first stop in Liuhe Town was, of course, Xinglong Hotel, because he wanted to hand over the things brought by Li Cuiping to Chi Licai.

Xinglong Hotel did not open, the red paper on the door said that the eighth day of the first month was officially opened, Wang Baoyu knocked on the door, and the proprietress of Cuihua warmly welcomed Wang Baoyu in, and the deputy mayor of Wang was very cordial.

It didn't take long for Chi Licai to put on his clothes and walk out of the room with his hands behind his back, his waist was very straight, and he combed his big back instead of normal, quite a bit of a leader's style.

Wang Baoyu arched his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Chi, give you a good old age!" ”

"Hehe, it's Baoyu here, sit down quickly." Chi Licai greeted him warmly, and then instructed Cuihua: "Cuihua, go get a few drinks and food, I want to have a good drink with Baoyu." ”

Cuihua agreed with one mouthful, shook her thick waist that she couldn't find, and happily went to the kitchen to get busy. Wang Baoyu quipped: "Uncle Chi, okay! The proprietress has become very well-behaved! ”

"That's it, it's obedient now, and you can do whatever you want." Chi Licai said arrogantly.

"Why are you so obedient? Do you also teach your nephew two tricks? Wang Baoyu said with a wicked smile.

"Women! It's nothing more than two words, I make money for her during the day, and I make a lot of effort at night, how can she be disobedient! Chi Licai said without hesitation.

Wang Baoyu smiled slyly and said, "Uncle Chi, you can't be too partial, be careful of the sunrise in the east and the rain in the west." ”

Chi Licai said jokingly: "Uncle is not as good as you, there are only two, and no one will watch the excitement on the big-character poster." ”

Wang Baoyu laughed when he heard this, and said: "Uncle Chi, I'm different from you, I'm not married, I can be good with whoever I want." Even if you snub someone, you can't complain. ”

Chi Licai immediately asked vigilantly: "What's the matter, when you go back this time, what are you Aunt Cuiping nagging?" ”

"It's nothing, I just miss you. Here, this is what Aunt Cuiping brought you. Wang Baoyu pointed to a bunch of things on the table, and asked mysteriously: "Uncle Chi, aren't you afraid of being discovered by Aunt Cuiping, and the tiger will be powerful?" ”

"What are you afraid of! Your aunt is lazy and doesn't want to walk the mountain road, so she doesn't come once a year. Chi Licai said with confidence, and casually rummaged through the things on the table, seemingly uninterested.

"Uncle Chi, be careful of a fire in the backyard." Wang Baoyu said solemnly.
