Chapter 357: Which girl did you choose to marry?
Song Yue raised her head and saw the face that seemed so familiar, and her eyes lit up instantly.
"Lu Huai?" Song Yue was surprised and puzzled, "Why are you here?"
Lu Huai looked at Song Yue with a smile in his eyes, "Come to the post office to see if you have replied to 놖."
Song Yue nodded and was about to speak, but Lu Huai added, "I didn't expect you to receive the letter. I've come to see you."
Song Yue: “…”
Not knowing what to say for a moment, she silently looked away, avoiding Lu Huai's slightly scorching gaze.
The people around them keenly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere between Song Yue and Lu Huai.
Secretary Zhou's gaze moved back and forth between the two of them several times, with an ambiguous smile on his face.
Du Sheng and Li He looked at Lu Huai and Song Yue...
Song Yue felt the gazes from all around her and coughed lightly, "Cough."
The few people who were looking at the two of them instantly came to their senses and put away their curious thoughts.
Secretary Zhou looked at Lu Huai, "Comrade Lu."
Lu Huai looked away and nodded to Secretary Zhou, "Secretary Zhou."
Du Sheng and Li Hexiao greeted him, "Comrade Lu."
"Comrade Lu."
Lu Huai responded, "Comrade Du, Comrade Li."
His eyes fell on Du Sheng and Li He, "Why are you two free?"
Du Sheng felt that it was not appropriate to stand here and talk to the secretary of the commune.
He said, "Comrade Lu, how about we get in the car first and talk later?"
Lu Huai answered irrelevantly, "Then you go back first, and come back later."
Earlier in the morning, Mr. Yun was still thinking about the little girl coming back for dinner and wondering if she would be able to catch up. So when he happened to meet her, of course he had to buy some good food.
Song Yue asked, "Will it take a long time? If not, how about we wait for you?"
Lu Huai shook his head, "No need to wait."
He smiled and said, "The old man's ox cart is waiting for me at the entrance of the village. I'll take his ox cart back home later."
"You go back first."
After Lu Huai finished speaking, he glanced at a few people and strode away without waiting for their reply.
Song Yue watched Lu Huai leave and opened her mouth to say something, but Li He's voice came to her ears, "Doctor Song, ox cart?"
"A cart drawn by oxen?"
Song Yue had no choice but to swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
She responded, "Yeah."
Li He asked, "How do cows pull carts?"
This sentence confused everyone present. Several people looked at Li He, with a hint of weirdness in their eyes.
Don’t know how a cow pulls a cart?
Li He seemed unaware of the gazes of the people around him, and was still asking Song Yue, "You know how to use oxen to plow. You tie something behind the oxen and walk in front. The oxen will finish the plowing at the back."
"How do you pull this bullock cart?"
Song Yue: “…”
Du Sheng, Secretary Zhou, and the commune members who came to watch the excitement out of curiosity: "..."
Especially after those members heard what Li He said, their expressions were hard to describe. They looked at Li He strangely, as if to say, is this guy crazy? Haven’t you even seen a bullock cart?
Li He felt that the surroundings were too quiet, so he turned around and saw...
I saw that the looks in those people's eyes were not right.
He quickly asked, "Doctor Song, why do you feel that the way these people are looking at you is not right?"
Du Sheng's eyes were indescribable. "You've never seen an ox cart?"
Li He frowned, "Where are you going to meet me?"
Du Sheng: “…”
Song Yue said, "It's okay, we'll see you later."
She looked around and saw that there were a lot of people gathering around her.
늀 gave Secretary Zhou a look, indicating that she should leave first.
Secretary Zhou received the look and nodded.
After getting consent, Song Yue glanced at Du Sheng and Li He, then turned and left.
After Du Sheng and Li He greeted Secretary Zhou, they quickly followed Song Yue.
Song Yue glanced at Li He and said, "It's normal to be born and raised in the city and never see a bullock cart."
Li He nodded in strong agreement!
He grew up in the city! I feel like in my memory there are bicycles, buses and the like…
Song Yue explained, "Many of us who went to the countryside to study as educated youth are like you, Comrade Li. This is the first time we saw a bullock cart here and the first time we rode a bullock cart."
"From the township village, it takes an hour and a half to walk here, and less than an hour to take a bullock cart, probably about 50 minutes."
“Although the speed of the bullock cart is not very fast, it is easier than walking.”
"When we, the educated youth who went to the countryside, returned to the village, the people in the village would spend two cents to ride a bullock cart to come to the commune."
Song Yue opened the door and got in the car.
Du Sheng and Li He got in the car quickly.
After sitting down.
Li He was stunned, "I still need to spend money?"
"Yes." Song Yue nodded. "Two cents for the round trip fare. The driver will wait for the same time in the afternoon and then return to the village."
Li He thought about something, "Comrade Lu just said that he would go back by ox cart. Is the ox cart driver waiting there?"
He paused for a moment and looked at Song Yue who was sitting in the passenger seat. "If we take the bus there later, will we meet the old man driving the bus?"
Song Yue turned around and looked at Li He in the back row, "We will meet."
Li He looked at the driver and said, "Comrade Wu, can you please stop by the old man driving the car later? I want to chat with him and take a picture or something."
"It's fine, I'm fine anyway." The driver smiled, "I'll go back with you guys tomorrow."
Li He instantly became happy, "That's great."
He turned to look at Song Yue, "Then please ask Doctor Song to stop after you check on that old man."
"Yes." Song Yue reminded, "But I have to tell you two first, Uncle Niu Che may have aunts and sisters-in-law from the village."
"Aunt and auntie are both very enthusiastic, you'd better be mentally prepared."
Du Sheng smiled and said, "It's okay to be enthusiastic."
Li He nodded in agreement, "Doctor Song, how can you say that you are well-informed?"
When Song Yue heard this, a thought subconsciously came to her mind: How could he be so knowledgeable but he has never even seen an ox cart?
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.
Following Song Yue's instructions, the driver drove towards the village.
…
Outside the commune, there is an old man parking his ox cart.
The coachman was sitting on a stone bench under a tree, and not far away were two old ladies and a middle-aged lady.
One of the old ladies turned to look at the other old lady, "Aunt Chen, why are you reluctant to stop working today? Are you here to work at the commune?"
Before Aunt Chen, who was being asked, could speak, the middle-aged aunt took over the conversation, "Aunt Chen went to look for a daughter-in-law today."
"Looking for a wife?" The old lady suddenly became excited and looked at Aunt Chen with sparkling eyes. "Whose girl is this? The girl from the commune?"
