Chapter 124
The birds fly high, and the lonely clouds go to free themselves.
We never get tired of seeing each other, only Jingting Mountain.
Behind me is the old Li family's ancestral home. In front of me, I see a vast mountain, lying on a rattan chair, a cup of tea in my hand, stealing a life and having a half-day leisure.
The rice is growing well and the mushrooms are full of vitality. With this leisurely time, Li Shaoan was in a good mood and couldn't help but recite the poem in his mouth.
"What are you pronounced, great poet."
Hearing the crisp and gentle voice behind him, Li Shaoan's mouth raised upwards. He was very familiar with this sound, who else could be there except Zhao Xuemei?
Turning his head, he saw Zhao Xuemei smiling. Her eyes that were proud of snow and frosty would only become tender when looking at Li Shaoan.
"Why are you here?"
Li Shaoan was surprised and did not expect that Zhao Xuemei would come to the Li family. After all, the relationship between the two was more ambiguous than ambiguous. Usually, they had to avoid suspicion in the village to avoid gossip.
Zhao Xuemei showed a rare playful expression and asked, "Why, isn't you welcome?"
"How is it possible? Of course you can come and welcome it." Li Shaoan was already like a lumber at this time, and he became dull and clumsy in everything he said and did.
"I want to ask you why you have time to come to my house today."
"The village committee does not work seven days a week, so there is naturally time on weekends. I heard that you have built a greenhouse to grow mushrooms at home and are so well-behaved, so I want to come and have a look." When standing in front of Li Shaoan, Zhao Xuemei even talked more than usual.
Li Shaoan said shyly: "Actually that's the case, not as powerful as the villagers said."
"Don't you invite me to your mushroom room?" Zhao Xuemei blinked at Li Shaoan, which made Li Shaoan dizzy and seemed to have a short circuit in her head.
Li Shaoan took Zhao Xuemei to the mushroom room. The temperature and humidity inside were higher than those outside, and the air also had the smell of mycelium.
Looking at the neat rows of mushroom bags on the wooden rack, small mushrooms had already grown on the mushroom bags, Zhao Xuemei felt it was very novel. This was the first time she had seen such a scene.
"I really didn't expect that mushrooms grew like this." Zhao Xuemei turned around and smiled at Li Shaoan, "When your mushrooms are ripe, remember to taste them for me."
"That's all there is to say." Li Shaoan smiled and said: "When my batch of mushrooms and rice are sold for money, I can pay back your 500 yuan first."
Zhao Xuemei didn't care about the five hundred dollars at all and said, "Don't worry about money. You need money now. Let's wait until you have more money."
"Xuemei, to be honest, I can be as smooth as I am now, thanks to your help along the way." Li Shaoan thanked.
"Is that so, then how do you thank me?" Zhao Xuemei teased.
Li Shaoan said blankly: "How about I send you mushrooms every day in the future."
When Zhao Xuemei heard this, she sneered and cursed: "Who wants you to send mushrooms every day? Do you want me to eat mushrooms as food? It's such a elm head."
Li Shaoan scratched his head and said, "I can't think of how to thank you for a while."
"Then wait for next time, and you'll talk about it after you've thought about it." Zhao Xuemei laughed happily.
There were only two people in the mushroom room, and there was such a confined space, and the atmosphere gradually became a bit wonderful.
Looking at Zhao Xuemei's affectionate eyes, Li Shaoan felt a thrill in his heart. He didn't know where the courage came from, but suddenly reached out and held Zhao Xuemei's slender jade fingers in his hand.
Li Shaoan's behavior unexpectedly made Zhao Xuemei shudder symbolically and her hands were flushed with shame, allowing Li Shaoan to hold it.
At this time, silence is better than sound. Both of them lowered their heads and neither spoke. Let time pass by minute by minute, and just stayed quietly in the mushroom room.
Seeing that Zhao Xuemei did not object, Li Shaoan plucked up his courage to go further, reached out to put his hand around Zhao Xuemei's waist, and took her into his arms.
Zhao Xuemei leaned forward with the flow, and the two of them snuggled tightly, even the air seemed to have a sweet smell.
After a long time, the two of them separated reluctantly. Zhao Xuemei clenched the bangs on her forehead and returned to her former cold and arrogant look.
This time, when I came to Li's house to find Li Shaoan, Zhao Xuemei had another very important thing. She took out a black leather notebook from her pocket and stuffed it into Li Shaoan's hand.
"Is this?" Li Shaoan looked puzzled.
Zhao Xuemei said: "This is the account book of the village over the years. All the things Huang Yunlong did are recorded on it. They are all evidence of his embezzlement of public funds and public announcement of his private pockets."
Li Shaoan felt something was wrong. How could Zhao Xuemei hand over such an important thing to him? You should know that Huang Yunlong is Zhao Xuemei's father-in-law. If this evidence is presented, Huang Yunlong can be defeated immediately. It seems that something must have happened between Zhao Xuemei and Huang Yunlong.
"Xuemei, how did you get such an important thing?"
"That day, Secretary Chen asked me for the public account in the village. I took advantage of Accountant Wang's absence and stole his keys and took out the private account. I didn't dare to keep this thing at home, for fear of being revealed, so after thinking about it, it was safe to put it in your place."
"Did the Huang family bully you?"
Although Li Shaoan seemed a little dull when he was with Zhao Xuemei, he was not stupid at all. There must be a reason why Zhao Xuemei took the risk to steal the account book and store it in his own hands.
Zhao Xuemei nodded and said, "Shao'an, the matter here is a bit complicated. It's hard to talk about here. When it gets dark, I'll tell you one by one."
"Well, let's talk about it tonight." Li Shaoan suddenly became heavy and made plans silently. Even if he sacrificed his life, he would never let the Huang family be detrimental to Zhao Xuemei.
The two stayed in the mushroom room for a long time, walked out from inside together, sent Zhao Xuemei out of the Li family's gate, and Li Shaoan returned to the backyard alone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to the backyard, I was grabbed by someone, which scared Li Shaoan.
"Sister-in-law, it's you!"
Li Shaoan said intimidly that if he had been one step late just now, he would probably have walked out of the mushroom room with Zhao Xuemei and she would have been met by her sister-in-law Tan Hongxia.
"Shao'an, I just saw someone coming out of our house. The back seemed to be Tsun Zhao from the village."
Tan Hongxia is not a gossiper, but when she came home just now, she did see the two of them coming out together. She was afraid that they would be embarrassed to meet on the spot, so Tan Hongxia deliberately avoided it and waited until Zhao Xuemei left before coming out.
"Sister-in-law, you see that person is Zhao Chuan." Since they were seen by the sister-in-law, Li Shaoan admitted generously. Instead of hiding, it is better to be open-minded, at least this will not cause too much suspicion.
Tan Hongxia suddenly remembered that during the Chinese New Year, Zhao Xuemei was very enthusiastic about her and asked Li Shaoguo to go to the village to kill pigs. It seemed that Li Shaoan and Zhao Xuemei had already met at that time.
"What is cashier Zhao doing when he comes to our house?" Tan Hongxia asked.
Li Shaoan casually made up a reason and said, "I heard that I am growing mushrooms, so I want to buy some mushrooms."
Of course, Tan Hongxia would not believe such a bad reason, but she also knew that this was Li Shaoan's private matter, so she would not say too much.
