The aunt was very pleased with what she said. She took Lu Xiangxiang's hand and praised him.

"Oh, let's think about it. The girls in that family are better than you. No wonder your grandma loves you so much." She said with a smile.

When the two were chatting enthusiastically, the captain suddenly came back. Lu Xiangxiang quickly stood up to greet his uncle.

"Uncle." she called out.

The captain looked at Lu Xiangxiang and said, "When I was outside, I heard someone say you were back, so I quickly put down what I was doing and came back to find you."

The team leader is in charge and cannot leave as fast as the others in the team. Naturally, he has other things to do after everyone gets off work.

That's why he came back at this time. When he saw Lu Xiangxiang, he was excited and happy.

"Uncle, please finish first and come back next time. There's no rush."

"Oh, it's okay, it's not a big deal." Uncle waved his hand. At this time, Ximei had finished cooking.

Everyone in the family has returned, including Ximei's daughter, second son, and her husband. As for her brother-in-law and his family, they are all in the county town. Only the two elders are left in their family now. As for their grandmother, she passed away a few years ago.

The seven of them sat together to eat. After the meal, Ximei went to wash the dishes, and the two younger ones stared at her without blinking.

"Wow, I really miss my aunt coming back. Wow, it's so great." Ximei's daughter Daya said.

She really forgot what Daya's real name was. Daya was just a nickname.

"You want me to come back so much?" she couldn't help but joke.

"Yes, we can only have delicious food when our aunt comes back. Our aunt also likes to bring us candies." Daya nodded and said.

"Oh, I feel a little sad when you see that all I have to say is candy." She covered her chest and felt like crying.

Seeing her expression, Daya quickly said, "No."

"Not what?"

"It's not like my aunt. My aunt is a very nice person. I like to think about her too." Daya looked at her with blinking eyes.

She found this a little funny, "Okay, I know you have a sweet mouth." She searched her pockets and actually smuggled some candy from the space to stuff into the little girl.

When Daya received the candy, she smiled like a mouse that had stolen some meat, which looked quite funny.

She looked a little amused and glanced at the pillar next to her. She also grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to him.

The child stopped looking sad and started smiling and shouting, "Thank you, Auntie."

"How dare you take your aunt's candy like this, kid?" the uncle scolded.

"That's right, how can a child take so much candy? Hurry up and give the candy to grandma."

The two children ran away in a swarm, fearing that their grandmother would confiscate the candy.

Only the uncle, cousin, and Lu Zhigao were left there. The uncle looked at Lu Xiangxiang and asked, "Xiangxiang, what happened that brought you back this time? Is there anything you need your help with?"

Lu Xiangxiang looked a little embarrassed. Seeing this, his uncle asked, "Is it hard to say?"

She nodded. "It's a little hard to say."

"Then tell me."

"That's right, you also know the situation outside, right?" she whispered to her uncle.

Uncle nodded, "I know."

"My teacher was also wrongly implicated because he had a few foreign-language books at home. But he's a Western doctor, and his medical knowledge comes from English books. How can he treat patients without reading those books? Those people didn't believe it and tortured my teacher. Now he's going to be demoted."

"He wants to be transferred to our place?" I have to say that my uncle is really capable. He guessed what she said right away.

"Yes, he was demoted to our place. This was the result of negotiations between my senior brothers and sisters. I don't ask you to take good care of them, but I hope you can take care of the people in our village and prevent them from doing anything too extreme. My teacher should be rehabilitated soon." She didn't know when her teacher would be rehabilitated, so she made up a bunch of nonsense.

Hearing her words, the uncle's expression was serious. "As for this matter, if there is no problem, leave it to me."

The uncle patted his chest and said that it was his duty to take care of the people here.

"Two people from our village have been sent down to the cattle shed. I didn't ask anyone to disturb them. I just let them do their work."

"Some people are not wronged, while some are truly wronged. This chaos has really thrown our country into disarray. Uncle, please don't openly help my teacher, lest someone use this incident to make trouble."

"I know, uncle knows it in his heart. After all, I have a big family to support here, so I know my limits."

"That's good." She nodded and took out the money she had prepared from her pocket.

"Uncle, this money is for taking care of my teacher. Take it."

She was holding a thick stack of big unity bills in her hand, which looked quite a lot.

The uncle was surprised when he saw this. "Is this just to help take care of someone? Why is there so much money?"

The uncle shook his head and disagreed with what she said, and returned the money.

Lu Xiangxiang shook his head. "This is what I should give you. Besides, this isn't entirely my money. This is the money that I pooled with a few of my senior brothers. Uncle is using this money to help Big Brother find a better job. There are definitely better jobs in the city than his accounting job. I'll send all the things I brought for the teacher to you later. I'll trouble you a lot when the time comes."

The uncle insisted that he couldn't accept it, but his aunt patted him and said, "Why are you still refusing at this time? I've already said that this is the money donated by several people in partnership. It's not just money we gave out on our own. Besides, it's risky for us to take care of them. So what if we accept the money? You're just being pretentious."

Uncle was very unhappy, "What did you say?"

"Last time, you scraped together money to get the second son a new job, but you can't bear to watch the eldest son waste his time working in the fields? Now that the family has found a job for the second son and married him off, there's not much money left for the eldest son. Didn't the second son recently bring back an opportunity? He said there's a temporary job at the agricultural machinery station that needs money. What a great opportunity!"

"It's better for my uncle to send my brother to work than to work here. Now that we have a team leader, adding an accountant will attract too much attention. It's hard not to be jealous. Just accept the money. Besides, my brothers and I won't feel at ease if you don't accept it."

After her repeated persuasion, the uncle finally accepted the money, saying, "I owe you this."

"No, no, no, uncle doesn't owe me anything. I owe you, and I want uncle to take such a big risk." Her voice was a little choked. In fact, she was really afraid that uncle would refuse.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"By the way, when are you planning to go back?" uncle suddenly asked.
