Lu Xie came back just in time for breakfast, looking quite sleepy. He had spent nearly half the night at the captain's house and had finally managed to escape back to the cowshed.
I have to say, this guy really needs a wife to take care of him. Look, Xiao Douzi is so young, but he has to play the role of both father and mother to coax the little dog Dan to sleep, but Li Fugui doesn't even take care of him!
"Uncle Xiaoxie is back, come in and have dinner." Shen Lingling spotted Lu Xie walking into the yard with her sharp eyes.
When Lu Wensheng looked up, he saw Uncle Xiaoxie, who usually paid great attention to his image, standing at the door with disheveled hair and a dirty face.
She had never seen such an uncle before. Even when he was ill and couldn't get out of bed, he was taken care of very neatly. She swallowed the food in her mouth and asked curiously:
"Uncle Xiaoxie, what did the captain do to you? Do you want me to seek justice for you?"
Lu Xie couldn't help but roll his eyes, tidied his hair a little awkwardly, and replied:
"Nothing. He wanted me to take the villagers to Daqing Mountain to hunt."
Lu Wensheng opened his mouth wide: "You agreed?"
Lu Xie waved his hands: "How can I do that? He got me drunk all night and I didn't agree. There are wolves on the mountain. I can go there alone. I'm not sure if I can bring people with me. If something goes wrong, who can I cry to?"
Lu Wensheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, Uncle Xiaoxie held back: "But... did he tell you why he asked you to take people to Daqing Mountain?"
Lu Xie spread his hands: "How would I know? I'm not him. You guys eat first, I'll go clean up!"
Lu Wensheng and the others continued to eat, and in the meantime they did not forget to discuss the topic of Han Muchen's exam.
"My brother Chen will definitely pass the exam!"
"Um."
After dinner, everyone went home, packed up their things and headed towards the village entrance. They thought there would be a lot of people going into the city today, so they had to grab a good seat.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the brigade headquarters, he was stopped by Li Zhenguo:
"Little Deer, the matchboxes have just been pasted. Why don't you drive the tractor into town? It's a good opportunity to go to the match factory."
As he spoke, he pointed to the pile of matchboxes in the tractor next to him.
Lu Wensheng:……
Yes, I have to drive a tractor.
Seeing that Xiao Luzi was quietly moving backwards, he quickly pulled him over and said, "You drive on the way out, and I'll drive on the way back." His tone and attitude allowed no room for rebuttal!
Lu Haosheng had no desire to live. He didn't wear much clothes to look good. He would freeze to death if he drove the tractor in the morning...
Li Zhenguo looked at his green military uniform, pointed at the tattered cotton jacket in his arms and said:
"Put on this cotton jacket later, it will keep you warm on the road.
This was worn by Erzhuzi before, and has been kept at the brigade headquarters ever since, and I haven’t had time to take it home. I see that you two are about the same size, so just make do with it for now!"
As he spoke, he didn't forget to put it on Ma Yingjie considerately. After buttoning it up, it fit him well: "See, now you won't be cold anymore. Let's go!"
Ma Yingjie had no choice. He had already put it on, so how could he take it off?
In this way, Lu Hao, who had a slicked-back hair, was forced to wear a tattered cotton jacket that was already patinated. It would be better for him to freeze to death!
Lu Wensheng and his companions had already boarded the car, and they didn't feel the cold at all hiding in the pile of matchboxes.
Seeing Ma Yingjie coming towards him with a resentful look on his face, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. Fortunately, Lu Wensheng had started the tractor in advance, and the sound of the tractor covered up his laughter.
"Zhenguo, why can those educated youth ride a tractor to the county town? We have to pay for the bus. We are all from the same village. You can't openly favor the educated youth."
"That's right. Zhenguo and I are from the same village. They are just educated youth from outside. You can't confuse the difference between inside and outside."
"Who wouldn't say so? We all grew up together. We are no closer than those educated youth."
The young ladies and wives who came one after another to move to the city surrounded Li Zhenguo, and they all advised him not to be disloyal.
Li Zhenguo was annoyed by these people's nagging:
"What do you mean by inside and outside? You are all members of the peace brigade, where does the inside and outside come from? They came to the city to deliver matchboxes, what are you going there for?
If you have the ability, you can go and bring some business back to the village. Don’t even think about riding on a tractor, you can even ride on me!
The question is, who among you has this ability? You still rely on others to make money, and you still say that they are getting special treatment. If you have this ability, I will take the lead in getting special treatment for you!
What? If you don’t agree, go and talk to Lu Wensheng and see if she is willing to give up the place to you! "
The few people who were originally arrogant suddenly stopped fighting. How could they forget that he was the Deer King?
Let's not talk about anything else, just the most popular rumor these days, Qian Juan is the captain's wife! She was sent back to her parents' home because of a fight with Shen Lingling, who would dare to offend her?
"Forget it, let's just take a bus. It's not very expensive."
After one person spoke, the rest fell silent and could only stand at the entrance of the village waiting for the bus.
Watching the tractors roaring by and the dust they raised, my dead heart came back to life...
No, why?
Lu Wensheng didn't know the villagers' little tricks. She was feeling very proud now. She didn't have to drive a tractor, wait for a bus, endure the cold, wear a torn cotton-padded jacket, or catch the last bus at noon...
It’s simply happiness!
Since we were free anyway, we just snuggled up with each other and took a nap...
Lu Hao first drove the tractor to the match factory. The factory security guard had known him for a long time and ran out to greet him from a distance:
"Xiao Lu, the educated youth, is here? You guys are here quite early. We just started working not long ago!"
Ma Yingjie smiled and greeted the security guard: "Uncle, have you eaten yet?"
As she spoke, she took out two pieces of winter melon candy from the oil paper bag: "My sister Shen made this, come and try it, sir!"
The security guard held the winter melon candy in his hand and said in surprise: "Oh, you have this skill? I went to the supply and marketing cooperative but couldn't find any. How about you sell me some?"
Even though he is old, he still loves to eat sweets, especially this kind of winter melon soup that is easy to chew and sweet enough. He can eat one sweet candy in the whole morning after soaking it in a jar of tea leaves!
It's just not a good buy~
Ma Yingjie nodded: "Yes, wait until I come out, I have to do some work first!"
The security guard nodded: "Yes, yes, let's get down to business first. I forgot that you are an accountant now!"
"Hey, it's just temporary! I'll go in first." Lu Hao scratched his head feeling a little embarrassed, and hurriedly drove the tractor towards the factory.
