Chapter 195: This Cousin Is Not Simple

~11 min read 2,064 words

He Jiaxiao's request to return to Suxi Township with me received strong support from Uncle, while Aunt Wanru was still a little hesitant. He Jiaxiao acted like a spoiled child and said: "Mom, do you think I'm going to the countryside to play? You want me to take the postgraduate exam, so I have to find a quiet place to review."

One sentence hit Aunt Wanru's weak spot, so she had to order Sister Xiao Mei to pick up some luggage, and said to her son with infinite love: "Jiaxiao, you are right to think so. Mom and Dad absolutely support you."

Aunt Wanru pulled me aside and instructed me: "Little Feng, you are Jiaxiao's brother, you have to watch him. If Jiaxiao is naughty, you can discipline him on behalf of your uncle. When he succeeds in the postgraduate entrance exam, Aunt promises you, whatever you want, I will give you."

What requirements could I have? My only requirement was that it would be best not to let this crown prince go. But did I dare to say it? My life was still in Uncle's hands. If it weren't for him, would Guan Peishan have let me go so easily, and let me be as free as a lord in Hengyue City?

He Jiaxiao drove Aunt's car and carried me from Hengyue City.

As soon as he left the city, he opened the car window and sang loudly.

He was like a little bird suddenly released from a cage, excited and blushing.

"Jiaxiao, so happy?" I asked, lit a cigarette, and stuffed it into his mouth.

He took a deep breath, turned his head to look at me, and said with deep hatred: "Brother, you really don't know, I've been over twenty years old, and I've never left their sight, it's bitter. I don't know what freedom is, what liberation is. Only today do I know the charm of freedom."

I looked at him in surprise: "How could you have no freedom?"

"Where did I get freedom? I've been watched since I was a child, told every day to study hard, and not to lose face for the Old He family and the Old Ding family. Did I lose face? I thought I could be free after getting into university, but my mom ran to the school every three days. If I hadn't threatened to die, she would have wanted to accompany me to study in Beijing. Don't you find it annoying? Anyway, I'm an adult."

"Doesn't Aunt have a job? How can she accompany you to study in Beijing."

"What does work have to do with accompanying study? Sitting in Beijing, you can still work. Besides, airplanes in the sky are free. If there is anything big, it's only a few hours. Anyway, I don't have to pay for the ticket myself." He Jiaxiao honked the horn, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked me: "Brother, do you have the phone number of the girl from last night?"

"That girl?"

"The one driving last night."

"You mean Reporter Chen." I suddenly realized and took out my phone to look for it, and deliberately reminded him indifferently: "She has a temper of a young lady, and she wears the brand of an uncrowned king, she is not easy to mess with."

"Have you messed with her?" He asked with great interest.

"No, I don't dare."

"If you haven't messed with her, how do you know she's not easy to mess with? I just like this woman's fierce temper. The harder she is to mess with, the more I want to mess with her, to see if she can eat me." He turned the steering wheel and looked ahead: "I came with you, you have to cover me."

He laughed loudly and started whistling.

"You really don't look like someone who has no freedom," I sighed: "Full of foul language, full of bad water. To put it bluntly, you are just like a little hooligan on the street."

"I still call you brother, does a big brother talk to his brother like this?" He became unhappy, puffed out his cheeks, and stopped talking to me.

I said sincerely: "Jiaxiao, it's because I'm your brother that I say this to you. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to say it."

He replied angrily, looking extremely impatient: "I know you are doing it for my own good. Do you know why my mom insists that I take the postgraduate entrance exam?"

"Improving your own knowledge is of course a good thing, is there any other purpose?"

"Not only is there a purpose, but the purpose is very strong." He Jiaxiao slowed down and said mysteriously to me: "They want me to enter the official career. They say our family has been in politics for generations, and we can't have no successors in my generation. This is a matter of face, and it is also a matter of whether they are successful or not."

I remained silent. Uncle and the others had painstaking efforts. My little cousin actually saw it more clearly than anyone else. Everything he showed was telling others that he didn't want to go into politics, but he was powerless to resist the pressure from his parents. He had no choice but to live with laughter and scolding, without heart or liver.

"What do you think yourself?" I teased him. His decision actually determined my future at a certain moment.

"I don't want to be an official, it's too tiring. Haven't you seen my dad..."

He clicked his mouth and said: "I just pulled, and she threw herself into my arms. Such a woman, really fucking cheap."

I immediately thought of Xuelai, a beautiful girl who was evaluated like this after throwing herself into his arms. If she heard it herself, wouldn't she want to die!

"I have her phone number, do you want it?" He took the phone and wanted to turn the phone to me.

"What do I want her phone number for?" I refused: "I don't want it. Jiaxiao, as a man, you can be romantic, but you can't be lewd. Understand?"

He stuck out his tongue and teased me: "Brother, don't be so serious. The way you looked at other people's photos just now, your eyes were straight, and you couldn't wait to eat them in one bite."

"Nonsense." I pretended to be angry and made a gesture to hit him. In fact, just now when I saw Xuelai, it was a semi-nude photo of her, with half her breasts exposed and her eyes blurred. Such a beauty, which man wouldn't be on fire.

"Brother, tell me, you've been in the countryside for a few years, is the village girl more flavorful than the city woman?" He was full of bad water, and I only wanted to talk further, not knowing what we would talk about. So I refused to answer him, wanting to use silence to resist his inquiry.

"Not talking? Don't think I don't know. Our nanny said, you have a girlfriend teaching in the countryside, she is a beauty, isn't she? Tell me quickly, what is Sister-in-law's name. So I don't know what to call her when we meet." He chattered on, unbuttoned his chest with one hand, and pinched his collar with his fingers, letting the wind outside blow into his strong chest.

Seeing that I still didn't speak, he said with infinite yearning: "If possible, I also want to be a township official."

"Don't you want to be an official?"

"It depends on what kind of official."

"What kind of official do you want to be?"

"An official like you."

I sighed for a long time. Youth doesn't know the taste of sorrow!

My heart moved, and I blurted out: "Jiaxiao, you are a marketing major, aren't you?"

He looked at me suspiciously and nodded.

"If I have a new product, do you dare to go out and market it to open up the market?"

"What product?"

"Mineral water."

"Selling water." He laughed lightly: "There are all kinds of water on the market now, and only one or two sell well. It is almost harder than ascending to heaven to make a world with mineral water. However, since it is your product, Brother, I am willing to try. Where is the product?"

I laughed bitterly: "It hasn't been produced yet."

He laughed loudly, the direction was crooked, and he almost drove the car into the ditch on the side of the road, which scared me into a cold sweat.

"You want me to sell a concept." He sighed: "Brother, it's a waste that you don't do business. Being a sesame township head, you won't reflect your value at all."

"I just want to do something good for the common people," I said shamelessly.

"I can help you. I have more than eighty classmates. Not to mention that everyone is an elite, at least they can all do something. Don't worry, Brother, I've taken this matter. Watch me." He was about to take out his phone to call, but I stopped his action and asked him not to worry, and drive the car well first.

On the way, I called Huang Qishan. This kid roared in surprise on the phone: "You can still call? You didn't die!"

"I fuck you, you want me to die, right?" I cursed: "Secretary Huang, be careful of being pinched to death by a ghost when walking at night."

He has been busy moving graves and demolishing houses during this time, a veritable demolition professional.

"Nothing happened?" he asked, his tone much more relaxed.

"Nothing happened in the first place," I said: "A straight body is not afraid of a crooked shadow."

"It's good that nothing happened. County Magistrate Liu has been asking about your situation these days. I didn't know when you ran away, so I had the courage to go to the County Party Committee Guest House to find you, but damn it, no one told me the truth."

I laughed lightly and said: "Hu Hansan is back again. Let's eat together in the afternoon, you pay the bill."

He agreed readily and cursed: "I fuck, what kind of person, even talking about paying the bill when eating, your grade is getting lower and lower."

I lowered my voice and said: "I brought you someone, do you want to know him?"

"What sacred person?"

"You'll know when you see him." After speaking, I hung up the phone and turned to He Jiaxiao: "Jiaxiao, let's eat in Chunshan County later, and return to my Suxi Township early tomorrow morning, so you can officially start living a rural life."

He Jiaxiao nodded and asked me: "Who did you call just now? So intimate, the relationship is very good, right?"

I shook my head and said: "Jiaxiao, let me tell you, in the officialdom, there are no real friends, only partners in interest. Two people joining forces is always stronger than fighting alone."

"What kind of officialdom is this?" He Jiaxiao mocked me: "A small township head, in ancient times, was a 'li', not even an 'official', you are at most an 'official field'."

He talked eloquently: "Officials have fame, but 'li' don't have fame. In ancient times, a county had one seventh-rank, the deputy county magistrate was the main book, counted as from the seventh-rank, the seventh-rank was a sesame official, and a county had only two or three. Others like you are all 'li', not officials."

I stopped him and said: "These words, you can say to me, don't say them outside, do you know?"

"I don't want to say it either. Look at my dad, at most he is from the fourth rank, which is a prefect. He spent his whole life's energy being an official. If I want to mix to his level, I'm afraid it's not simple. It's difficult!" He sighed: "So I don't want to be an official. If you don't be an official, you will make a fortune. If you have money, are you afraid that the officials won't come to see me?"

He laughed loudly. His remarks made me look at him with admiration. Don't look at his ignorant appearance, in fact, there are still many twists and turns in his stomach. My cousin is not simple! ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
