Chapter 72

Being forced to do something unexpected is just like the current situation. It is so sudden and unexpected.

I guess Comrade Li didn't have this idea for the first time.

He tinkered with the bicycle bell, ringing it silently, without directly answering her previous question. "Comrade Li, you are a very good comrade. Since your parents arranged this, they must have understood the general situation and have already reviewed it."

Several female comrades in the supply and marketing cooperative have extra energy and money to spend on dressing up, and their living conditions are good. They are most likely spoiled by their parents. In this case, their parents will not push them into this trap.

He can't get involved.

"I did, but I..." Li Xiang lowered her head to look at her toes, then suddenly raised her head again and smiled shyly, "I just wanted you to take a look, otherwise I'd always feel uneasy."

"I've seen it, so you can rest assured" What kind of truth is this?

"Yeah, that's right." Li Xiang nodded confidently. In his mind, Comrade Lu was almost omnipotent.

Lu Qin hummed in his heart. The pressure of trust suddenly pressed on his shoulders. He didn't know whether to be thankful or sigh.

Li Xiang looked at him expectantly.

Especially Zhu Hong interrupted, her tone matter-of-fact, "Comrade Lu, please help her. I think Li Xiang's idea is a good one, and I'd like you to help me when the time comes."

Lu Qin: "..." Why are you meddling in this?

Is he that trustworthy?

So he asked.

"Yes, aren't you our friend? Friends are meant to be trusted, so if we don't trust you, who else can we trust?" Li Xiang replied.

"Promise me that next Sunday morning you'll just sit back there and we'll treat you to dinner."

Lu Qin's eyelids twitched. This was not the way to get the meal he wanted.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, he struggled a little more, "So what do you mean by 'passing'?"

Zhu Hong waved her hand. "Well, you can handle it yourself. We trust you."

Li Xiang added, "Don't be too stressed. Just give it a quick review."

Well, it’s the same as not saying anything.

So next Sunday, no one knows which gay man will fall into his hands.

He pushed his bicycle slowly forward.

Under their expectant eyes, he was helpless and said, "Okay, but you have to listen to me when the time comes."

What else could he do except agree?

"Sure." Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and finally smiled. She felt from the bottom of her heart that Lu Qin was a good friend.

At that moment, she was even more grateful to Zhu Hong for introducing the person to her as a friend.

Feeling the strength coming from her arm, Zhu Hong pulled her hand back and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm so happy." With him around, Li Xiang felt inexplicably more relaxed.

Listening to them playing and talking nonsense behind him, Lu Qin's thoughts became a tangled thread and he sighed silently.

The footsteps behind were getting closer and closer, and the two female comrades gradually caught up with his pace.

When it was time to say goodbye, "Comrade Lu, see you on Sunday."

Comrade Li Xiang even took out a handful of candy from her pocket and gave it to him, saying, "Here are some for your nephew."

Lu Qin continued, "See you on Sunday..."

Because Kong Yue's bureau had cracked down on several activities, it approved funds and equipped police officers in certain positions with bicycles. Although they were old recycled ones, they were very convenient to use.

Two bicycles, one in front and one behind.

Lu Qin returned home and parked the car. He asked his aunt to prepare the chicken in the lunch box. He moved quickly and then carried a hoe into the mountains to dig wild vegetables. "Auntie, you guys eat first. I'll be back later."

Seeing him carrying a hoe and about to leave, she looked at the sunset on the distant mountaintop and called out to him, "It's getting dark, let's do it tomorrow."

Lu Qin carried a hoe on his shoulder, his right hand steadying the hoe handle. "I have to send someone off at work tomorrow, and it will be too late tomorrow."

He waved and walked away.

Kong Yue carried the two bicycles into the hall to prevent them from being exposed to dew and rusting in the yard. When he came out, he saw the boy walking away in a swaggering manner, carrying a hoe.

"Mom, Lu Qin..."

"We're going to pick wild vegetables. City people like ours."

Upon hearing this, Kong Yue said nothing more, picked up the dustpan beside him and went to the backyard to collect firewood.

"Wow, two chicken legs." Sun Laimei went into the kitchen and opened the lunch box.

Kong Dongdong walked in just in time, "Grandma, I'm back!"

Lu Chunnong was holding a dead branch he had picked up outside. He looked up and saw the bicycle in the hall. He knew that the two people who worked at home had returned and reminded him, "Slow down."

Originally, the threshold of the house was to be lowered, but later I gave up because I thought the child would grow up. According to Kong Yue, it can also achieve the effect of exercise.

"Okay!" He stepped over the threshold.

"Hey! Grandma is in the kitchen." Sun Laimei happened to answer him.

A small figure spread out his feet and ran away.

Kong Dongdong looked around but didn't look at his uncle. "Milk, smells good!"

"Your uncle brought you some chicken legs. Let me heat them up for you to eat." Sun Laimei loves her grandson so much that she wants to hold him in her hands.

"Where's my uncle?"

Sun Laimei opened the pot lid and said, "You just want to catch this sentence, right?", regardless of whether he understood or not.

"Milk!" Kong Dongdong put his hands on the stove and stood on tiptoe, but his body was not much higher than the stove.

"Your uncle is busy." She couldn't even feel jealous now. "Don't get so close. The steam in the pot is hot."

Kong Dongdong took two steps back.

The chicken legs were quickly heated up. Sun Laimei picked up one of the chicken legs and put it in a small bowl on the side. It was still hot and steaming.

"Here, sit on the stool and eat slowly. Your uncle specially left this for you. We all have it."

"You guys eat" he tilted his head.

"Yes, everyone has it, so don't worry about it." Her dear grandson.

The bowl was placed on a higher stool. Kong Dongdong pushed a lower stool and sat down beside it. He held the bowl with both hands, walked forward to smell it, and then began to clumsily tear the chicken leg and eat it.

Sun Laimei took a look and ignored him.

Lu Qin, who didn't know much about wild vegetables, dug up any familiar ones he saw and took them away.

When he came back, he asked Lu Chunnong to help him pick them out for a long time, but in the end there were not many left.

While eating, "Auntie, the wild fruits in the mountains are delicious. When they are, remind me so I can pick them."

You can use it as a gift to others when the time comes.

"Okay, I remember. If I come across it, I will pick it up for you." She doesn't do any heavy work in the team now, so she still has a lot of free time.

Lu Chunnong touched Kong Dongdong's bloated belly and asked him softly, "If you're full, don't eat anymore. Just drink a couple of sips of soup, okay?"

"Okay!" Kong Dongdong shook his short legs.

Lu Qin looked over and realized that Sun Laimei had given the chicken leg to the child.

"Uncle!" His little eyes sparkled when he saw him looking at him.

Lu Qin reminded him, "Drink your soup well, and then go study."

When Kong Yue heard the word "study", he glanced at the two of them. He had followed Lu Qin's study method before, and it was quite effective. Kong Dongdong had already learned the numbers back to fifty.

"Hmm!" Kong Dongdong held the small bowl and drank the soup.

Lu Qin had inadvertently passed by behind them many times when they were teaching, and he probably knew his progress. It can be said that he was worthy of being his nephew Kong Dongdong. The chaotic scenes when parents were tutoring their children in later generations did not exist.

So under the current circumstances, he is also willing to get involved and help with teaching.

Lying in bed at night, Lu Qin lay on his back and sorted out his thoughts from the whole day before falling asleep.

The next day I was full of energy again.

Sun Juan heard a knock on the door early in the morning, before the family had finished breakfast.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a young man standing there. He might have been in a hurry, his hair was sleepy, and his lips and face were red.

Lu Qin came forward with the bag and asked, "Good morning, Auntie, have you eaten yet?"

He glanced past her and said, "Morning, Uncle."

Meeting Qin Shi's gaze, he smiled again.

Qin Minghai didn't need to stand up now, because he knew it was Lu Qin. He put down his bowl and walked over.

"I'm eating right now. Come in and have a bite." Seeing that it was him, Sun Juan's eyes flashed with surprise. She said it in the affirmative.

Qin Minghai stood next to her, and although he didn't say anything, he undoubtedly had the same idea.

"No, I have to go to work. Auntie, these are some wild vegetables I dug. You can stir-fry them and eat them. It's up to you how you like to cook them."

He was very generous and not at all embarrassed about sending wild vegetables.

Sun Juan felt relieved that someone was thinking of her. She took it and held it in her hand. "Didn't you give it to me last time?"

"That was the last time. They're everywhere in the mountains. They're not rare. Auntie, take them. It's getting late. I have to go to work."

"OK."

After she agreed, Sun Juan realized that she had not yet thanked him for the incident where her daughter was being harassed.

Qin Shi had already packed up and went downstairs with two eggs in her pocket. As soon as she got downstairs, she saw someone about to leave.

"Comrade Lu, please wait a moment."

Lu Qin was about to pedal his bike when he heard the sound and stopped. She walked over to him and said, "Take these two eggs and eat them on the way. I'm leaving now."

Afraid that he would refuse, Qin Shi stuffed it directly into his green shoulder bag.

Touching the extra eggs in his pocket, Lu Qin felt like he was being fed.

The weather was hot and the boiled eggs had become fishy after being left out for too long, so Lu Qin peeled them and ate them as soon as he arrived at the factory.

He was the second one to enter the Propaganda Department. Section Chief Zhao had arrived early.

After returning from the hot water room with hot water, he naturally walked forward with the kettle to pour water, "Good morning, Chief, please have some tea."

Show your presence every day.

Section Chief Zhao rubbed his brows and looked up to see it was him. "Good morning."

Lu Qin poured him tea slowly and his eyes fell on his head. There were some white hairs mixed in with his black hair, which showed that Section Chief Zhao had a lot of things to worry about.

"Section Chief, I forgot one thing. We have some leftover photos from before. Can you please return them to each factory? After all, they were so cooperative with our publicity department back then."

"As many as you have"

"About seven or eight. This is also my responsibility. I took too many photos at the time."

The photos weren't particularly valuable, and the point was that they wouldn't be of any use to him. He agreed without much thought, "Then you can give them to them one by one, or keep them. It's up to you."

"Okay, I'm going to work."

Section Chief Zhao picked up the enamel cup, blew on it gently, and nodded in agreement.

Lu Qin had no choice but to turn around and walk away, returning to his seat to prepare to finish writing all the required content for the submission in one go.

Ten minutes later, the rest of the people arrived one after another.

"Comrade Lu, you're here so early."

Secretary Liu and Secretary Wu have always been the busiest because they have children at home and a lot of trivial matters to deal with.

Lu Qin smiled and said, "The weather is nice today, so I went out early. Besides, the section chief was even earlier than me."

Section Chief Zhao vaguely heard his own name, took a look at it and continued to flip through the manuscript.

The author has something to say:

Good morning! This is the update from yesterday.
