At this moment, Village Chief Li also came over. Seeing his sweaty face, Lu Hao rolled his eyes and snatched the mung bean soup that Li Youliang had just prepared, and stuffed it into the Village Chief's hands attentively:
“Uncle, come and finish the mung bean soup, my sister Shen just brought it over.”
During this time, he did not forget to praise Li Youliang: "Brother Youliang is really something, he only knows how to drink~"
Li Youliang: What the hell…?
"I just stole your bowl. Is that necessary?"
Ma Yingjie nodded hurriedly: "That's too much. I was going to give it to my uncle, but you snatched it away."
Li Youliang looked at his father's disgusted expression and quickly said, "Dad, listen to my excuse..."
Li Xiangyang subconsciously raised his leg and kicked him, saying, "Go back and record your work points. Don't come out for a walk if you have nothing to do."
Li Youliang: “Oh…”
After looking at Ma Yingjie with resentment, he had to walk away, looking back every few steps, under the pressure of his father...
Ma Yingjie looked at the dejected figure, and suddenly he felt bad: Oh, I have to say this, but they still give me two extra work points every day, am I going too far...
So, Ma Yingjie secretly put Han Muchen's water bottle into his arms, thinking of going to please his brother Youliang later.
Han Muchen: I am lucky to have you...
After finishing his mung bean soup, Village Chief Li passed the bowl to Han Muchen. He looked at Shen Lingling who was leaning against Lu Wensheng and said with concern, "Don't come out if you are sick. It's so hot, you might get sunburned."
Shen Lingling opened her eyes weakly, pulled the corner of her mouth towards Village Chief Li, and said softly:
"Thank you, Uncle Li. I saw that everyone was busy working in the fields and felt bored, so I thought of bringing you some soup. Drinking it will give you more energy to work."
Village Chief Li nodded with satisfaction: "Well, you educated youth are all good, unlike those new and old ones who always cause trouble for me.
"Okay, you should go back early too. I heard from Lao Ge that you went to get a lot of medicine. You should take care of yourself!"
Shen Lingling nodded and thanked him. She rode away on her bicycle as everyone watched her leave. Once she was out of everyone's sight, she sped up like crazy:
"Fuck, I'm so tired."
She had to go home and cook. This Uncle Ge was really nice. She wondered if she should talk to Shengsheng and send him some meat to thank him...
Village Chief Li, who was sitting at the edge of the field, watched Shen Lingling ride away on her bicycle weakly and could not help but sigh:
"Tsk tsk tsk, Shen Zhiqing's body is a little weak..."
He was already considering whether to let her just pick grass for pigs for the rest of her life...
Lu Wensheng also nodded: "Yes, he is indeed a little weak. This morning, he fainted when he went to the educated youth camp to fetch water. If he hadn't met Han Zhiqing who carried him back, I don't know how long he would have lay on the ground!"
Village chief Li said in surprise: "She fainted again? She is really weak. Won't this delay her from earning work points? When she recovers, let her continue to collect grass for pigs with Xiaodouzi and the others, and don't go to the fields." He had originally planned to let Shen Lingling go to the fields to work.
He was afraid that when the time came to distribute grain, he would have to use the village’s money to pay her, so why not send her back?
Then I thought about it again and it didn't make sense. People in the village were already building houses and the foundations were already being rammed...
It's really a dilemma!
Seeing that Village Chief Li looked constipated, Lu Wensheng could guess what he was thinking, so he advised:
"Uncle, don't worry about Shen Zhiqing's work points. I heard that her parents are well-known figures in Beijing and her family is not short of money.
She didn't count on these work points to make a living. Besides, didn't Li Chunhua give her three work points a day? If that wasn't enough, there were still the rest of us.
She has to help us cook for the next few days, and the three of us have agreed that we should each give her one work point. We can’t let her work for nothing, right?”
Village Chief Li was immediately relieved after hearing this. He took a puff of his cigarette and then slowly said, "Okay, just make sure you decide."
Hehe, just don’t touch the food in our village, nothing else matters.
"Get to work. I have to go too."
Lu Wensheng waited until he left before complaining to the remaining three people: "Our village chief is an old fox. He clearly wanted to hear me say that I didn't want to take his village subsidies, and he pretended to be embarrassed and tested me in a roundabout way..."
Lu Hao and Han Muchen looked at each other and said, "Is there?"
Lu Wensheng rolled his eyes and said, "Go back to work!"
After saying that, she left without looking back because she was afraid of being infected.
Two silly ones...
Ma Yingjie murmured to Han Muchen in admiration: "My sister Lu is amazing. She is beautiful, kind-hearted, and has long legs. She can reach the moon in the sky and catch turtles in the five oceans. In short, she can do anything!"
Han Muchen was stunned: "Where did you learn this?"
Ma Yingjie: "Oh, I learned this from Sister Lu. I learned a lot. I'll save it for later use!"
Han Muchen: ...none of them is serious.
"Go get to work!"
After saying that, he also left without looking back. He was also afraid of being infected...
Ma Yingjie patted the water bottle in his arms and ran to find Li Youliang to show his love.
Brother Youliang said that his nephew went to catch loaches, hehe...
The whole morning was spent with Lu Wensheng driving the tractor frantically, Han Muchen cutting rice noisily, and Lu Hao sneaking around.
When Lu Wensheng and his team were about to get home from work, a strong smell of stewed meat wafted from the yard. Ma Yingjie took a deep breath and said in surprise:
“It looks like pork!”
Han Muchen also agreed: "It does taste like pork."
Lu Wensheng also smelled it. They hadn't eaten pork for a long time. Although they had always had meat dishes, they were only rabbits, pheasants, fish, shrimps and crabs.
Thinking of this, they really felt a little craving for meat. The three of them looked at each other, saw surprise in each other's eyes, and they all quickened their pace and hurried home.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Lingling carrying a large bowl of pork chops on the dining table. Ma Yingjie couldn't wait to pounce on it, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. He cried out in pain because it was so hot, but he was reluctant to spit out the meat:
"Ahh...ahhh...so good..."
Shen Lingling smiled and tapped his hand with chopsticks, saying disdainfully: "Go wash your hands!"
Lu Wensheng looked at the bowl full of pork and asked in confusion: "Where did the pork come from?"
Shen Lingling suddenly felt uncomfortable: "That... is me..."
Oops, what should I say! Picked it up on the road?
As soon as Lu Wensheng saw her like this, he knew where the meat came from. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and cover up her lie: "You didn't ride your bicycle to the commune to buy it, did you?"
Shen Lingling was as if she had been pardoned! She quickly replied: "Yes! I... I want to make up for you..."
Lu Wensheng suppressed his laughter and said soothingly: "Don't be nervous, just tell me if you have any problem."
What I mean is: even if you pull out a tank, I can make it up for you.
Shen Lingling nodded immediately: "Okay, go wash your hands too."
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Yes."
