Chapter 13 second quarter

The next morning, Lin Ling woke up early. Since she didn't wash up last night, her mouth felt dry after waking up, and she felt a little uncomfortable all over, which made her a little uncomfortable.The two little ones were still lying on the kang, probably because they slept too late yesterday and they haven't woken up yet. Afraid of waking them up, Lin Ling carefully pushed aside the entanglement of the two "little ghosts", slowly moved down from the kang, opened the door and walked into the courtyard.Master Zhang is playing with those red peppers in the yard. "Comrade reporter, are you awake?"

Lin Ling smiled and nodded. "Didn't you sleep well last night? Our kang is hard. We should have laid an extra quilt for you, but I came back too late yesterday, so I was so sleepy that I forgot it all at once." "It's okay, Master Zhang, everything is fine, and your two daughters are also very cute! They chatted with me for a long time yesterday!" Mentioning the two daughters, a trace of uneasiness flashed across Master Zhang's face, but he managed to squeeze out a smile, "Hehe, my two girls don't go to school these days, I think they're going crazy!"

"Children are all playful. Master Zhang, I want to ask you a question." "You say." "If these two kids wanted to go to college, would you send them?" Master Zhang didn't seem to have thought that Lin Ling would ask such a question. He was not prepared at all, so he couldn't answer it for a while.But he soon realized what the two daughters had said to Lin Ling, so he pushed the question back from another angle, "They said last night that they wanted to go to college?" Lin Ling was startled for a moment, then nodded slowly. Master Zhang didn't speak, and lowered his head again, continuing to pick his peppers.

"There are no teachers in the village anymore. Have you thought about letting them go to school outside the village?" Seeing that Master Zhang was silent, Lin Ling continued to ask. "Comrade reporter, you don't understand the situation. Do you know where the nearest school is to us?" Lin Ling shook her head. "It takes me more than two hours to walk from here to there. That is to say, if a child walks back and forth in a day, it will take at least five hours. You must know that no family in our village has a car." Lin Ling did not respond to Master Zhang's words, but her expression became more solemn.

"This time, do you know why people in our village respect Teacher Liu so much? Without her, our children would have to walk such a long way every day to go to school! There have also been college students who came to support education in the village, but none How long you stay is just to get a place for a graduate student. Only Teacher Liu has been teaching children in our village since he was in his twenties, and he has been teaching for more than 20 years and has never left." "Then do you know why she didn't go?" Master Zhang shook his head, he didn't know if he didn't want to answer, or he really didn't know.

"Can you take me to Teacher Liu's house? I want to know why Teacher Liu left the village." "Go to Sun Shao's house? You'd better follow me to the old party secretary first, and let the old party secretary take you there. If you go by yourself and meet that bastard Sun Shao, I'm afraid something bad will happen." "Okay, then I will trouble you to lead the way." "No problem. Shall we go now?" "Don't delay you? Also, did the old party secretary get up so early?" "Don't worry! I'm afraid the old branch secretary is shouting at the door right now! We rural people don't like to sleep in like your city people."

"Shouting? What is this for?" "You will know when you arrive!" After finishing speaking, Master Zhang put down the pepper in his hand and clapped his hands, "Let's go to the old branch secretary first, and the two girls should get up when they come back, and let them fry egg and steamed bun slices for you." Lin Ling smiled, took out 500 yuan and handed it to Master Zhang, "This is the meal fee." Master Zhang looked at the five big tickets and waved his hands again and again, "You can't use so much! You can't use so much!" "Then give the money to the two little girls to go to school in the future! Teacher Liu is gone, and their schooling will be even more difficult, but I hope they will have the opportunity to go to college in the future. This amount of money may be insignificant, but for them Said it would definitely help. I will leave you a call, and if these two children have any difficulties, I will do my best to help them. "

With the money in his hand, Master Zhang felt excited, "Actually, I also want these two girls to go to school outside, but I really can't make up my mind!" "If you can't do it, you have to do it! Even if Teacher Liu is still there, these children can at most recognize Chinese characters in the village. If they want to go to high school and enter university, they have to go out!" Master Zhang nodded, bit his lips and said, "Comrade reporter, I will try my best! I also want our children to be successful!" Master Zhang and Lin Ling went one behind the other, and as soon as they turned into an alley, they heard an old Beijing opera singer singing:

Autumn Hu hits Maben's hometown, horseshoes are busy on the pedestrian road, sitting on the carved saddle and watching with his eyes, he sees a sister-in-law holding a mulberry, the front shadow is like a Luofu girl, and the back shadow is like my wife's room, Ben immediately recognizes his wife ... Misidentifying a civilian wife is a very serious crime! There is no Jinghu accompaniment in the singing, and Lin Ling doesn't know whether the tune is correct, but she still feels that the singing is very mellow and powerful. It seems that this is the "chat" chanted by the old party secretary that Master Zhang just mentioned.

Following this tune, they came to the gate of a compound, when the Beijing opera inside stopped "playing", followed by the sound of two people talking.Master Zhang was about to enter the courtyard, but Lin Ling grabbed him and made a silent gesture. "This piece of "Mulberry Garden Meeting", you are really good at singing!" It was obviously Gao Fengjun's voice.Lin Ling thought, maybe Gao Fengjun stayed at the old party secretary's house last night. "This passage is completely sung for you." "Sing it to me? I thought you were going to sing it to me!"

"Say you are Chen Shimei, right? I've really wronged you a bit. In my opinion, it is most appropriate to say that you are this Qiuhu who left his wife and children and never returned." "Qiuhu was able to have a happy reunion, and finally reunited with his wife. I don't have this blessing. Yanfang finally left, and our family of three couldn't be reunited." "That's a play, how can there be so many comedies in a real story? This play is from "The Story of a Martyr". When I was young, ladies from rich families or landlords and rich families read this. Qiuhu's wife jumped into the river at the end. Suicide. It's very similar to Teacher Liu's situation! That's why I sang this play for you today." Lin Ling felt strange when the old branch secretary mentioned that Liu Yanfang committed suicide. Who told him that Liu Yanfang committed suicide?Because Master Zhang said before, Sun Shao said that Liu Yanfang died in a car accident, and Master Zhang believed it at that time.Although Lin Ling told the old party secretary that she was here to investigate the cause of Liu Yanfang's death, she never revealed that Liu Yanfang committed suicide. How did the old party secretary know the real cause of Liu Yanfang's death?Who told him?Could it be Gao Fengjun?If so, how did Gao Fengjun know?Faced with these questions, Lin Ling could only continue to stand at the door and listen to the conversation between the two. "Old party secretary, I really shouldn't have left their mother and son behind! But after the policy was implemented, I came to Yanfang and asked her to come back to the city with me, but she refused to leave." "Let's go? You put it lightly. She has a husband and a marriage certificate. Why should she go with you? Besides, her mother-in-law also needs someone to take care of her. Teacher Liu is not like you. She pulls up her pants and refuses to recognize anyone after she finishes her work. Don't say anything, just pat your ass and leave." "I was wrong at the beginning, but I really didn't know that Yanfang and I still have a child!" "When did you know about this?" "Two years ago! Before my son's college entrance examination!" "Son? You're so sweet!" "At that time, she went to the city to find friends and raised money for her mother-in-law's medical treatment. Later I heard that I wanted to help her, but she refused. I knew she needed money here, so I sent it to her. , but she said that the money had already been raised, and she insisted on returning the money, and said that I don’t need to take care of their family’s affairs.” "At that time, you knew about Sun Qiming's college entrance examination?" "Well, I heard about it by accident. After I found out, I suddenly had an idea. The child is just eighteen years old. Counting the days, I think it should be mine." "That little bastard hasn't been home for two years, even when his mother died. He's just like you! He has no heart." "He's staying with me now, and I didn't let him come." "Okay, I finally recognize the thief as my father. Congratulations. As expected, if you have milk, you will be your mother, and if you have money, you will recognize your father!" Listening to the stinging tone of the old branch secretary, he was not only expressing his dissatisfaction with Gao Fengjun, but also saying that he thought Sun Qiming's character was problematic—at least it could be seen that he did not like Sun Qiming.Lin Ling's feeling clearly matched Hu Yuyan's judgment. "Old branch secretary, I can't take Yanfang with me, but the child is mine, and I won't let him come back here again!" "Let's go! This village is small, but no one lives in the same way! We also dress and eat every day. Sun Shao is a bastard, but the old grandson is a good person. She loves this grandson very much. The old lady wants to see It's really pitiful that the grandson is dead!" "You should take this money! It will be used to support that old lady in the future!" Although I don't know how much Gao Fengjun paid, but judging from his tone, Lin Ling knew that the amount was not small. "We Zhangjia Village people have nothing else, but we still have the backbone of being a human being. Teacher Liu didn't ask for your money back then, why should we ask for your money if we are not relatives, and besides, this place has nothing to do with you. If there is nothing wrong, Boss Gao, you can leave! Don’t come back to this small mountain village that filled you with painful memories. Also, since that Sun Qiming is your son, he has nothing to do with us anymore gone." "Memories cannot be erased, even if they are painful." "Okay, we can't understand these nonsense." Gao Fengjun was bored, so he wanted to say goodbye to the old party secretary. Hearing that their conversation was over, Lin Ling walked in the door without saying hello to Master Zhang. ——She wanted to pretend to bump into Gao Fengjun by accident. The two met face to face. Gao Fengjun was very surprised, and carefully looked at Lin Ling who had just entered the door. With this temperament, he could tell at a glance that Lin Ling was not from the village. And Lin Ling also observed Gao Fengjun from the front. This person's temperament was even better than last night, and he belonged to the image of an out-and-out successful person. "Old party secretary, I'm sorry to disturb you so early!" Although Lin Ling looked directly at Gao Fengjun, she took the lead in greeting the old party secretary behind him. "Old branch secretary, who is this?" Gao Fengjun had many questions in his heart when he saw Lin Ling. "This is reporter Lin from "T City Evening News". Come to the village to investigate Liu..." Lin Ling saw that the old party secretary was about to reveal her truth, so she quickly took over the conversation, "Since Teacher Liu passed away, there have been no teachers in the village. Our newspaper office wants to do some research, and then appeal in the newspaper to attract some college students to the village. Come teach." Hearing Lin Ling's words, the old party secretary knew that he almost said something wrong just now, and he didn't have much affection for Gao Fengjun, so he didn't want to explain to him.It's just that Master Zhang behind Lin Ling was stunned by Lin Ling's words for a while, and Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out. "Are you a reporter from "T City Evening News?" Gao Fengjun obviously wanted to continue chatting with Lin Ling. Lin Ling took out a business card and handed it to Gao Fengjun, "This is my business card. Please contribute more to the education of villages like Zhangjia Village in the future." Gao Fengjun nodded, and also took out his business card and handed it to Lin Ling with both hands.Lin Ling smiled and took the business card.In fact, Lin Ling deliberately set up a bureau to hand over her business card just now, in order to get Gao Fengjun's business card for further investigation. "Hey, hey, hurry up, reporter Lin and I have to talk about the education in our village!" Gao Fengjun saw that the old party secretary issued an order to evict the guests, so he couldn't stay any longer, so he nodded to Lin Ling, and said, "Definitely! Definitely!" After speaking, he walked out of the courtyard. When Gao Fengjun walked away, Lin Ling took a closer look at the business card. "Starlight Media?" Seeing these four words, Lin Ling was shocked. This company is a media giant in North China. It owns three newspapers, five large book culture companies, film and television investment companies and various advertising companies. Because Starlight Media has always been in charge of the general manager, the public rarely knows who its chairman is.Unexpectedly, Gao Fengjun was the chairman of this "super company", which really surprised Lin Ling. Starlight Media has a high reputation not only in China, but also internationally. Lin Ling is in the media industry, so she naturally has a clear understanding of the strength of this company.Lin Ling estimates that Gao Fengjun's personal assets are at least several billion yuan.Sun Qiming is a country boy, and it is really his "blessing" to have such a rich father. But another thought jumped out of Lin Ling's mind instantly. If Sun Qiming really used some method to conceal his alibi, it must have something to do with this Gao Fengjun.And Gao Fengjun undoubtedly has the ability to provide some kind of cover for his son.Judging from the conversation he had with the old party secretary just now, not only did he have a very close relationship with Sun Qiming, but he also knew the cause of Liu Yanfang's death like the back of his hand. Gao Fengjun has serious suspicions! It's time to call Hu Yuyan!Tell Hu Yuyan what happened here and the ins and outs related to it, let him investigate Gao Fengjun first, and there will be a breakthrough in the case.You can't go wrong!Lin Ling picked up her cell phone and dialed Hu Yuyan's number.
