"Little deer, you're finally here. This dog has been waiting for you here all morning."
Li Zhenguo came out of the office and joked.
Lu Wensheng was a little embarrassed: "I forgot to bring it back last night, brother, when are we leaving?"
Li Zhenguo checked the time and said, "Let's go now. The old man is getting impatient."
Lu Wensheng knew that the village chief must be in the office now, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, has my uncle always been so fond of showing off?"
Li Zhenguo became interested when talking about this, and approached Lu Wensheng and whispered:
"Don't mention it. I heard from my third uncle that my father didn't put the Japanese soldiers he killed together with others. He just put them in a separate pile. He would squat on the side and show off to everyone who came..."
Lu Wensheng opened his eyes wide in shock: "Is this possible?"
Li Zhenguo nodded: "Of course not! There is more..."
"Little guy, what are you talking about me again?"
Li Zhenguo was talking excitedly when he heard his father's roar. He trembled and turned back immediately:
"Dad, you heard me wrong. How could I say that to you?"
"Get out of here right now!" Li Xiangyang's face was full of anger. The bastard actually exposed his shortcomings in front of outsiders.
Lu Wensheng quietly retreated behind Li Zhenguo and suppressed his laughter, and whispered to Lu Hao:
"Go home later and get it something to eat. It hasn't eaten since yesterday..."
What if I get too hungry and can’t explain to Shen Qingchen…
Ma Yingjie nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Lu, I will take it home for dinner in a while."
"Well, I'm leaving then." Lu Wensheng nodded with satisfaction. It was great that someone was willing to pay and work hard to raise a dog for her.
He touched Dahua’s head and took Li Zhenguo away.
The first place they went to was the more distant Ximengou Brigade. After picking up their old village chief and brigade leader, they immediately rushed to Qingshan Brigade.
On the way, the old village chief of Ximengou Brigade asked Li Zhenguo in a hoarse voice: "Zhenguo, what good thing has happened to your father that requires you to come and pick him up in person?"
Li Zhenguo cleared his throat: "Well, uncle, it's not a big deal. You'll know when you get there."
What could he say? Say his dad got a banner and a certificate and wanted to show it off to you?
Isn't that just asking for trouble? I'm not stupid...
While driving the tractor, Lu Wensheng did not forget to observe the terrain here. The mountains here seemed to be deeper than the mountains of their Ping'an Brigade. She also spotted patches of walnut trees and red date trees on the road.
Thinking that my brigade has cooperation with the city, can we come to these remote mountainous areas to collect mountain products, and then sell them at a higher price...
I need to find time to discuss this matter with the village chief and the team leader!
I went to Qingshan Brigade to pick up Liu Changsheng and planned the return journey.
On the way, Lu Wensheng asked Li Zhenguo quietly: "Brother, they won't fight, right?"
Li Zhenguo vowed: "Don't worry, they only talked, never used their hands!"
Lu Wensheng:……
I get it, noobs fighting each other!
It was almost noon when they finally arrived at the Ping An Brigade. Li Xiangyang heard the sound of the tractor from a distance and said to Lu Hao who was writing furiously opposite him: "You count first, I'll go out to meet them."
Hehe, his highlight moment is coming!
Li Xiangyang hummed a little tune as he left the office. When he passed the door, he stroked Dahua's dog's head and praised casually:
“Good dog!”
Dahua was lying on the ground basking in the sun after eating. Even when he was touched, he was too lazy to look up and just turned over and continued to sleep.
"Oh, my old friends are finally here. I've been waiting for you all morning!" Li Xiangyang smiled so hard when he saw the visitors.
Liu Changsheng spoke first: "Lao Li, why did you call us here again?"
Li Fugui grabbed Liu Changsheng's neck:
"Is Lao Liu still angry with me? The last time we dealt with each other, it was about the matter, not the person. Come on, come on, go inside and have some tea. This is a gift from Secretary Ma, I wouldn't give it to anyone else!"
Liu Changsheng brushed Li Xiangyang's hand away with disdain: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't touch me!"
Li Xiangyang: Tsk, you talk like everyone loves to see you, but you’ll be jealous someday!
As he said that, he invited everyone into the house: "Come on, let's talk inside." He had already hung up the silk banner and was just waiting for these old guys to come in!
When Lu Wensheng saw them enter the house, she quickly ran away. She didn't want to see the village chief's smug look.
This was really tough for Ma Yingjie. He had been listening to nonsense for half the morning, which was mostly just the village chief bragging about himself.
It wasn't without any gain, he has a great learning ability!
After finally getting off work, Ma Yingjie ran away with the dog without looking back. Oh my God, he was finally free!
"Come on, I'm treating you all, let's go to my house for dinner."
Li Xiangyang waved his hand and was about to take a few people back for dinner. He had already told his wife to cook some home-cooked dishes for the old people to eat. He estimated that everything has been arranged at home by now.
"Old Li, you didn't ask us to come here just to show off your banner, did you?"
Liu Changsheng's face was full of envy and jealousy. Why couldn't their village produce such a capable educated youth?
Li Xiangyang shook his head: "How could that be? It's been a long time since we last met, so I just wanted to invite you guys to come over for a get-together!"
Everyone rolled their eyes: Do you think I believe you?
During the meal, Li Xiangyang suddenly said: "It seems that our commune is going to build a road, you should be prepared."
Liu Changsheng looked up: "Doing voluntary work?"
Li Xiangyang nodded: "Yes, it should be. But this is not a definite confirmation, you just need to listen to it."
The old village chief of Ximengou Brigade took a sip of wine and said, "I think it's almost certain. Let's prepare in advance!"
Li Xiangyang nodded: "Yes, that's right, brother."
Liu Changsheng: "Building roads is better than building riverbanks. Building riverbanks requires soaking in water. My legs were frozen numb last year."
But there is nothing we can do about it. Your village is fine because we have tractors, but villages like ours have to use manpower."
Li Xiangyang was secretly proud: Of course, our village was able to buy a tractor because of my good management. This is the only tractor in the surrounding villages. Even Secretary Ma has to ride on it when he goes to the city for meetings!
After they had enough food and drink, Lu Wensheng had to send them back. Li Zhenguo wanted to go with her but she refused:
"Brother, I can go by myself, you just do your thing."
She wanted to go to the mountains in Ximengou to see if she could bring back some mountain products, but it would be inconvenient to bring Li Zhenguo with her.
"Okay, then you better be careful." Li Zhenguo said with some concern.
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Don't worry, bro, I'll be fine!"
After saying that, he started the tractor and drove away with the old guys.
