Seeing that Lu Wensheng was not surprised, Lu Hao knew that she must have known about it a long time ago, and he felt a little aggrieved:
"Sister Lu, you knew it a long time ago but you didn't tell me" made him feel itchy all day long...
Lu Wensheng was not embarrassed at all when he was exposed, and hurriedly said:
"I mean, I wanted to test your observation skills. It seems that you have passed the test perfectly. I can safely entrust you with any difficult tasks in the future!"
After hearing this, Ma Yingjie felt much better and quickly took credit for it, saying, "Sister Lu, when Brother Chen and I got off work, we followed Li Chunhua to her house and got back the things you extorted from her."
Lu Wensheng slapped him on the back of his head: "Tsk, kid, what do you mean by extortion! That's compensation, do you understand compensation?"
Ma Yingjie curled his lips and said nothing. Fortunately, he had a positive outlook, otherwise he would have believed it!
After entering the yard, I saw Zhang Zhiping washing clothes and Zhang Fangfang cooking in the kitchen. It seemed that they were doing it for Li Yan. When they saw her coming back, they smiled at her flatteringly and continued to do their own things.
Lu Wensheng was frightened by this laughter and asked Lu Hao in a low voice: "What happened to them?"
Ma Yingjie glanced at them with contempt, pointed his chin at the bicycle in the main hall of the west wing and said, "I heard that you were praised for your bravery, with a banner and a bicycle, so I'm jealous.
I’m also afraid that you’ll complain to the village chief, so I have to be nicer.”
Lu Wensheng nodded to show that he understood: Oh! Society is so complicated! She is so simple...
When she took out the pheasant eggs wrapped in her clothes, she saw that there were already quite a few eggs in their egg basket. Shen Lingling explained to her:
"Shengsheng, that's what Han Zhiqing and his friends brought back from Li Chunhua's house. There's also half a pound of brown sugar in the cupboard."
She was really super happy. Her little sister said she would earn some brown sugar eggs for her, and she really earned some brown sugar eggs. Shengsheng is really amazing!
Lu Wensheng nodded and said, "Two poached eggs in sugar water for each person tomorrow morning!"
Lu Haomeng nodded: "Yeah, okay! I'll make some sugar water!" The extortionate things should taste especially delicious!
Lu Wensheng continued, "After dinner, you two can go with Lingling to the captain's house to deliver a watermelon. He has been very helpful today."
Han Muchen nodded: "Okay." He obeyed all orders and followed instructions.
Lu Hao: "What about you?"
Lu Wensheng said helplessly: "I will go and lick the village chief and ask them to build a house as soon as possible. We have to move out before the new educated youth arrive."
Ma Yingjie nodded: "Yeah, okay, Brother Chen and I also bought a watermelon when we came back, you can take it with you."
Lu Wensheng didn't expect that this boy would also come to her senses, and she readily agreed, "Okay." She had originally planned to fill it with mushrooms and honeysuckle, but now she could save that money.
By the time she came out of the shower, the meal was ready. In the casserole in the middle of the table was pheasant stewed with mushrooms. To cater to her taste, there was also a mixed cold dish. Next to it was a bowl of soybean paste, green onions, cucumber strips and various wild vegetables. The staple food was white rice.
Lu Wensheng pointed at the bowl of black sauce and asked, "Where did this come from?"
Shen Lingling replied, "Aunt Li asked Gou Wa to bring it here. She said it tastes good when dipped in pickles, so she asked us to try it too."
Lu Wensheng nodded. She didn't like the food so she didn't touch it. However, Ma Yingjie and Shen Lingling were eating with relish and finished all the dishes except the shallots.
Lu Wensheng looked at the juicy shallots and said, "Let's have scallion pancakes tomorrow morning!"
"Okay." Everyone seconded.
After dinner, Han Muchen and Shen Lingling cleaned up the kitchen. Lu Wensheng weighed out two taels of brown sugar and took Lu Hao out of the educated youth point. She was going to find Aunt Li to exchange it for mung beans.
When passing by the construction site, Li Zhenguo was already digging the foundation with his men. Lu Wensheng greeted them twice and led them away.
When they arrived, Aunt Li was sowing seeds in the vegetable garden. Ever since she started providing vegetables for Lu Wensheng and his family, she has been planting vegetables one after another, for fear that there would not be enough to eat.
Seeing Lu Wensheng coming over, she hurried out of the vegetable garden and said, "Little Lu, how come you have time to come to my place?"
Lu Wensheng naturally put his arm around Aunt Li's arm, pointed at the brown sugar in Ma Yingjie's hand and said:
"Auntie, I am bothering you again. I brought some brown sugar and asked if you could exchange it for some mung beans."
Aunt Li said cheerfully, "Hey! What else do you need to exchange? You can take any green beans I have."
Lu Wensheng pretended to be angry and said, "Aunt, how can I take your things for nothing? Besides, I exchanged the mung beans for Zhenguo and Zhuzi to cool them down. It's hard to build a house for us in such hot weather."
The more Aunt Li listened, the more she felt that Lu Wensheng was kind-hearted and generous. She did not shirk her responsibility and said directly:
"Okay, I'll give you some more. You're such an open-minded kid, you like your aunt's temper!"
As he said that, he pulled Lu Wensheng towards home, and did not forget to greet Lu Hao: "Little Lu Zhiqing, come in too. Erzhuzi said he wanted to look for you when he was having dinner."
Ma Yingjie responded and followed them obediently, holding the oil paper bag. Today, he was his sister Lu's little follower.
After entering the main room, Aunt Li first poured them some water and then went to the warehouse to weigh the mung beans. Er Zhuzi was reading a book under the kerosene lamp, and Lu Hao approached him curiously and asked, "Zhuzi, what are you reading?"
Er Zhuzi looked up and saw that it was Lu Hao and Lu Wensheng, so he quickly put down the things in his hands and said with a headache:
"There are two places for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in the village. My third uncle got me one. I will go to Shandong to attend university next month."
Then he turned to Ma Yingjie and said, "I remember you are from Shandong, so I wanted to ask you about the situation there."
Lu Hao suddenly realized it, and without hiding anything, he started talking to Er Zhuzi.
Lu Wensheng also knew about the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, but he didn't expect Erzhu to be able to go. But after thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, his father was also a martyr, so it was normal for him to receive preferential treatment.
But if Erzhu leaves, the tractor...
Hehe, this is just a piece of cake, so he interrupted their conversation and said, "Erzhu, what will happen to our team's tractors if you leave?"
Erzhu was also a bit troubled when he heard this: "I don't know. No one in our team can drive. Let's see what Third Uncle says. Anyway, I'm not leaving these days."
Lu Wensheng nodded without saying anything. She secretly decided in her heart to double the amount of gifts for the village chief!
Tractor drivers, you can earn ten work points a day without doing any work, where can you find such a good thing!
She wanted to thank the organization, the party and the commune for sending her a banner, but she refused to listen and couldn't defeat that little old man Li Xiangyang!
