Chapter 44 Darker than Chen Cheng



Look at Lu Wensheng's smiling face, then look down at the two kilograms of brown sugar in his hand...

Sun Caifeng gritted her teeth and stomped her feet and let the person in:

"Lu Zhiqing, come in quickly. We are all family. If you have something to say, just talk about it. What else are you bringing?"

"Haha, that's what Auntie said."

Lu Wensheng followed Sun Caifeng into the main hall and saw Village Chief Li enjoying the cool air. He immediately stepped forward and called out,

"Uncle Li, have you eaten yet? If not, come to our educated youth camp to eat~"

Village Chief Li: This thing is so sociable?

"Lu Zhiqing, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that he was doing his job impartially, Lu Wensheng didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly:

"Uncle Li, I want to move out."

Village Chief Li was shocked: "Why are you moving out if you don't live in the educated youth camp? Where can you move to? There is no empty house in the village!"

Sun Caifeng was also startled by the woman in front of her. This matter was really difficult to deal with. She blamed herself for collecting the brown sugar too early. After looking at her husband's face, she slowly put the two kilograms of brown sugar on the table.

Village Chief Li: No, his wife accepted gifts behind his back?

However, after seeing what was on the table, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he had to say one more sentence:

"Tell me why you want to move out first."

Seeing that there was still room for maneuver, Lu Wensheng had no choice but to lower his head in a wronged manner, and it took him a long time to come up with the reason:

"Uncle Li, my father died when I was nine, and my mother hanged herself in front of me. So I got sick from then on, and the symptom was sleepwalking...

After a long period of treatment, I finally got better. Now, maybe because I came to a strange environment and felt insecure, I got sick again...

Maybe you have heard today, I...I understand that it is not easy for the educated youth to work a day, so I am really afraid of disturbing others' rest, so I want to move out..."

Lu Wensheng felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and finally he couldn't hold back his tears.

Of course Village Chief Li heard about what happened last night. At first he thought it was a rumor, but he didn't expect it to be true!

Sun Caifeng felt sorry for Lu Wensheng's tragic experience, as she was still a little girl. She couldn't help but sigh and advised her old man:

"Dad, why don't you think of a solution? This child is really pitiful."

Now she was not just doing it for the two kilograms of brown sugar, she really felt sorry for Lu Wensheng.

Lu Wensheng was still sobbing softly, and it was no wonder that he was crying.

Village Chief Li was silent for a long time before he said, "It's not that there is no way, I just don't know if you can agree."

There is a way!

Upon hearing this, Lu Wensheng immediately raised his head, looked at Village Chief Li with hope, and asked:

"Uncle Li, what's the solution?"

Village Chief Li looked at the little face still with tears in it and said slowly:

"It's like this. Your registered permanent residence is now in our Ping'an Brigade. Logically, you can be allocated a piece of residential land, and then you can build a house to live in. But I have to say this in advance. If you return to the city in the future, this house will belong to the village. Do you agree?"

Lu Wensheng thought for a moment and asked:

"Uncle Li, how much does it cost to build a house?"

"It depends on what kind of house you build. There are adobe houses, red brick houses, and blue brick houses."

Lu Wensheng looked at the village chief's imposing blue brick house, then thought about Erzhuzi's red brick house, and finally thought about the adobe houses in the village, and decisively asked Village Chief Li:

"Uncle Li, how much do the red brick house and the green brick house cost respectively? I live alone, so I don't need to build a big one."

Village Chief Li thought about it, went back to the house, took out an abacus and calculated for a while, and finally came to the conclusion:

"If you live alone, you only need to build a main room, a back room, a kitchen, a woodshed, and a toilet.

If you use red bricks, fifty dollars at most would be enough for labor, materials and meals.

If we use blue bricks, it will cost at least 80 yuan.”

Lu Wensheng thought about it. Although she could afford to build a house with blue bricks, the saying still applies: wealth should not be shown off.

Just imagine, she was a little girl, an educated youth from outside the city, and it would be so ostentatious if she quietly built a blue brick house. Not to mention that she was sleepwalking, even if she was mentally ill, it would not be possible to save her.

So she happily took out fifty yuan from her pocket and put it in front of the village chief and said:

"Uncle Li, this is the subsidy the Youth Office gave me when I came here. I can't afford a blue brick house, so please help me build a red brick house!"

Village Chief Li also promised after hearing her say this: "Okay, I'll try to save some for you, and I'll give you the rest."

Lu Wensheng didn't expect to get the money back, so he immediately grasped Sun Caifeng's hand with tears of gratitude and said excitedly:

"Uncle, aunt, you are all good people! Good people will be rewarded!"

There was no other way. Village Chief Li was an old man and she couldn't just grab his hand...

Do you understand sense of proportion? Hahahaha

Sun Caifeng also felt sorry for the little girl, so she grabbed her hand and said:

"My daughter, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me. If I can't solve the problem, your uncle can still help. From now on, you should treat the brigade as your own home. If anyone bullies you, tell me and I will protect you!"

This is what Lu Wensheng wanted to hear, so he did not refuse and nodded.

"Aunt, you are so nice! I have been bullied by my aunt since I was a child, and I have never met such a nice person..."

When Old Man Li saw this, he was shocked! Even his wife was trapped in this trap. This Lu Zhiqing is no ordinary person!

I quickly interrupted their "confession" and changed the subject:
