Chapter 128: The Old Couple Full of Regret
"I have asked Baohui to check, but you are an unmarried lesbian. It is indeed inappropriate for you to be so close to a gay man." Director Lei advised earnestly.
"Director, are you stupid? Li Rong and I are dating. If we don't get closer, then are we going to get farther away? When you and your wife were dating, were we thousands of miles apart?"
Luo Xinxin choked back in annoyance.
“Cough cough cough…”
Director Lei, who was drinking tea, was shocked again. The tea went into his trachea and he started coughing until his face turned red and his neck became thick.
"Be careful, don't choke to death!"
Luo Xinxin patted his back with bangs.
"Stop... Stop filming!"
Captain Lei stopped coughing, but his ribs still ached slightly. This damn girl was too cruel.
"Are you and Comrade Li really dating?"
Captain Lei was skeptical, mainly because he felt that Li Rong, an officer with a bright future, really didn't need to marry a girl who was a playboy. It would simply be self-destructive.
To put it bluntly, even though he admires Luo Xinxin, he would definitely object if his son wanted to marry this girl.
"Is dating fake? We'll get married when I turn 18. What are you looking at? Do you think I'm not worthy?"
Luo Xinxin stared at him with an unfriendly look.
"No...no, they are a good match."
Director Lei was a little scared and told a lie against his will, because it wasn't his son who was getting married anyway.
Luo Xinxin curled her lips and got down to business: "The military district asked me to help, so I have to go out for a while and I don't know when I'll be back."
The last time Li Rong came over, in addition to giving her a bonus and a certificate, he also asked her to help find the white-crowned sparrow. The base project is now at a critical stage. If the white-crowned sparrow is not found, the scientists will not be able to work with peace of mind, which will seriously affect the progress of the project.
But the white-headed old man hid too deeply and did not reveal any clues. Deputy Commander Cui thought of Luo Xinxin and wanted to use her psychological skills to find him out.
"Just go there and don't worry about the farm."
Director Mine agreed without hesitation.
"Then I'm going out tomorrow. I found grapes similar to those described in my ancestors' books. I found them at a farmer's house. The owner said the grapes weren't tasty and planned to dig them up and plant other grapes this year. I tasted them, and they tasted just like my ancestors described. They're not tasty as fruit, but they're good for making wine."
What Luo Xinxin said was half true and half false. The grapes from the farmers' homes were indeed good, but still not as good as those in the mall, so it was just a cover.
"Where is that farmer's house? I'll send people to dig up the grape vines." Director Lei said excitedly.
"It's not appropriate to dig now. I've cut a lot of branches and planted them. I'll graft them when the time comes. Don't worry about it. Anyway, I guarantee that there will be high-quality grape seedlings in the fall."
Luo Xinxin spoke with full confidence, and Director Lei was also infected by her and was in a good mood.
"There's one more thing. Your grandparents sent someone to tell you that they want you to go visit them."
"No time, let them reform!"
Luo Xinxin snorted coldly and walked away.
The system hasn't issued a warning yet, which means the two old guys still have enough health bars, don't panic!
Looking at her ruthless back, Director Lei shook his head and did not sympathize with Luo Weian and his wife. It was all their own fault. If they had behaved like their grandparents, little Luo would not have done such a cruel thing.
reservoir.
The old couple waited anxiously and finally waited for the farm's supply truck, but Luo Xinxin was not there. The old couple hurriedly asked the driver.
"Comrade Luo said that you should reform yourself!"
The driver conveyed the director's instructions.
"Didn't she ask you to bring anything?"
Old Mrs. Luo asked without giving up, and Luo Weian also felt hopeful. Even if no one came, he should at least bring some things with him, right?
"No, go away, don't stand here and get in the way!"
The driver pushed them away impatiently.
Mrs. Luo's eyes darkened, and tears streamed down her face. "She really doesn't care about us anymore. She is so cruel. If Xinxin were still here, she would definitely not ignore us."
Luo Weian sighed deeply. He thought so too. His granddaughter was obedient and filial, and would never be so heartless and ungrateful.
"Are you guys slacking off again? Get back to work and don't bring your capitalist bad habits here!"
The militia supervising the work came over and yelled at them.
"Got it, I'll get to work now."
The old couple were so frightened that they didn't dare to delay for a second and ran to work.
They were assigned to push the cart for Luo Wanqing, while Liu Huiling was responsible for filling the cart with soil. The two children also had to help. The reservoir does not support idlers, and one must work to have food to eat.
A huge pit was filled with busy people. Looking from above, they looked like a group of worker ants. The old couple carefully went down the slope and found Luo Wanqing who was pulling the cart with great effort. Behind him were Liu Huiling and her two sons pushing the cart.
"Where have you been again?" Liu Huiling asked in a bad tone.
"Do you have to control the toilet?"
Facing her daughter-in-law, Old Mrs. Luo was still very strong and glared at her fiercely.
"Lazy people poop and pee a lot. They either eat or poop all day long. They're just old and never die!"
Liu Huiling had a gloomy face. Although her voice was not loud, the old couple could still hear it. Luo Weian was so angry that his face turned blue.
Old Mrs. Luo was also furious and was ready to use her mother-in-law's authority to teach this bitch a lesson, but Luo Weian stopped her with a look.
The construction site is managed like a prison and anyone who causes trouble will be punished. He doesn't want to be punished anymore.
The old couple finished their work with resentment and received their lunch, which consisted of two boiled potatoes, a bowl of clear porridge so clear that you could see your reflection in it, and a few shredded pickled vegetables.
This kind of food is basically what they eat for three meals a day at the construction site. They can only eat a little meat on holidays. Usually, it is just bland soup. The old couple feels sick after eating it and miss the food on the farm very much.
"Old man, I can't live like this anymore. When will this end?"
After taking a bite of the dry potato and just swallowing it, she felt a sour feeling in her stomach and vomited out the potato together. Old Mrs. Luo couldn't help but feel sad and covered her face with her hands and cried softly.
Luo Weian also felt bad. He regretted it so much now. His two grandsons were not sick at all. It was his son and daughter-in-law who deliberately lied to them. They took it seriously and offended their granddaughter. As a result, these two ungrateful people blamed them for being useless.
Not only did he not take care of them these days, he even snatched their food. His daughter-in-law even scolded them for being old and said it was a waste to eat so much. Although his son didn't scold them, he just watched coldly, more indifferent than a passerby.
The two grandsons he raised also called them old and immortal.
Luo Weian was completely disappointed. If he had known that this family was ungrateful, why would he have offended his granddaughter and ended up like this?
Now he just hopes that his granddaughter will change her mind and take them back to the farm.
Luo Xinxin, who was missed by the old couple, has arrived at the military area. She wanted to meet Mingyue and the other four enemy spies first to see if she could get some useful information, but unfortunately she got nothing.
The white-crowned crane is indeed mysterious, even the bright moon knows nothing about it.
"Let's go to the base together tomorrow and you will be the cleaner." Li Rong said.
"And you?"
Luo Xinxin asked.
"I'm from the security department."
"Why are you in the security department and I'm a cleaner? I need to go to the cafeteria to get food."
Luo Xinxin was unhappy. She wanted to work in the cafeteria and eat delicious food.
"The canteen's activity area is limited, and cleaners come into contact with more people." Li Rong explained patiently.
"Then I won't be a cleaner. I can't stand the dirt. You can arrange for me to work in the office, as a document clerk or a telephone operator."
Luo Xinxin refused to compromise. She didn't want to clean the toilet because it was smelly and would affect her mood for eating.
