On the morning of the second day, Lu Wensheng and Lu Hao, holding a majestic rooster, waited for Shen Lingling to take the English test at the high school gate.
Because Shen Lingling chose foreign language major, she had to take one more English test than the other three.
"Sister Lu, when will my sister Chen come out..." Lu Haodong looked around like a thief, afraid that someone would come to catch him.
Lu Wensheng looked at his guilty look and said comfortingly:
"It's almost there, don't worry."
Ma Yingjie stood up angrily, almost stamping his feet: "I'm anxious, how could I not be anxious? If I hadn't run fast, I would have to stay and keep Lao Meng company!"
Originally, Lu Xie saw that he had finished his exams, so he wanted to leave the two male comrades in the city to take care of the black market business. As the year was coming to an end, with two more helpers, he and Lao Cheng could relax.
Unexpectedly, Ma Yingjie was quite clever. When he went to the toilet in the morning, he overheard the two men discussing how to keep him and Lao Meng as laborers.
Before he could even eat, Ma Yingjie's eyes turned and, in line with Sister Lu's spirit of "a friend would rather die than be killed", he sneaked away. When he left, he did not forget to take the village chief's big rooster with him.
Ma Yingjie had a hunch that if he forgot his precious rooster in the city, he would not be able to enter the village during the New Year!
The man and the chicken sneaked out of the house but had nowhere to go, so they could only squat at the gate of the high school and wait for Sister Chen to finish her English exam before returning to the village together.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Wensheng finally arrived.
Finally, at about half past ten, Shen Lingling came out. As soon as she left the school gate, she saw Lu Wensheng and Lu Hao squatting under the wall to bask in the sun. She ran over happily and shouted:
"Shengsheng, little Luzi!"
Lu Wensheng squinted his eyes and looked at her: "Have you finished the exam?"
Shen Lingling nodded: "Well, the exam is over, are you going home?"
Before Lu Wensheng could reply, Ma Yingjie quickly stood up holding the chicken and said anxiously:
"Back, back, back, of course we have to go back. Let's go quickly, Sister Shen. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant to have a meal first, and then catch the afternoon bus. We will definitely be able to go home before the evening."
He always felt unsafe here, and there was a risk of being caught at any time...
His heart was beating fast until he got into the car, and finally he calmed down. He relaxed and started joking:
"Hehe, Old Meng has been suffering a lot these past few days!"
Because he overheard his uncle say in the morning that a ton of coal would be delivered tonight and they didn't have enough manpower.
Uncle Xiao Xie said, let Xiao Mengzi and Xiao Luzi unload together...
Otherwise he wouldn't run so fast.
Lu Wensheng couldn't bear to see him so happy, and couldn't help but scare him:
"How about I take you back?"
Ma Yingjie, who was still jumping up and down, immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, and did not forget to cover the rooster's eyes with his hands.
Rooster: Hmm? It gets dark very quickly today. It’s only been a short while and I can’t see clearly…

Peace Brigade
Li Xiangyang was also hanging his chicken in the brigade headquarters at the moment, but there were many people in the office and he couldn't say it openly, so he could only complain:
"Alas, the exams are over and everyone is back home, but why haven't those kids come back yet? I'm so worried!"
My chicken... I shouldn't have lent it out. He hasn't been able to eat or sleep well these past two days.
Li Zhenguo knew that his father was worried about the rooster borrowed by Ma Yingjie, so he suppressed his laughter and spoke seriously:
"It will probably take another ten days or half a month. I heard from Uncle Lu that Old Cheng and Old Lu are back."
Seeing that his father was obviously anxious, he curled his lips and continued:
"Dad, why are you in such a hurry to get them back? There's no work in the team, so just let them stay in the city for a few more days."
Li Xiangyang couldn't sit still anymore after hearing his son say this. He stood up suddenly and said unhappily:
"What? What do you mean? Boss, don't provoke me. I'm telling you, if my chicken gets skinny from hunger, you won't be allowed to eat for two meals!"
Humph, I'll let you make fun of me!
Li Zhenguo was dumbfounded: No, what does this have to do with him...
Li Zhenxing, who was settling accounts on the kang nearby, covered his mouth and chuckled: Hey, did you touch the horse's leg? You deserve it!
The boss just doesn't know how to read people's expressions. He won't say anything unless you see him.
Seeing the second brother like this, Li Xiangyang immediately changed the subject: "Second brother, what are you laughing at? You are not much better than your eldest brother."
Li Zhenxing and Li Zhenguo have the same expression at this moment: No, I didn’t say anything…
It had to be Li Fugui. He was afraid that innocent people would be affected, so he immediately spoke up to persuade them:
"Uncle, don't listen to Zhenguo's nonsense, doesn't Xiao Shen have an English exam today?
I think he has already returned by the noon bus. I calculated that he is almost there. How about you go to the village entrance to greet him?"
Li Xiangyang nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll go out to meet her. I missed her so much after not seeing her for a few days."
Just as Li Xiangyang walked out of the brigade headquarters, he saw three small black dots walking towards him from afar.
I’m back, I’m back!
Hmm? The number of people is wrong. Is there something wrong?
Li Xiangyang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xiao Luzi had lost his big rooster and was afraid to come back?
Lu Hao: ...
Thank you!
"Sister Lu, look, is that the man standing at the entrance of the brigade our village chief?" Lu Hao put his hands on the pergola and looked forward.
Lu Wensheng had good eyesight, she had already spotted the village chief and nodded:
"Yes, I guess it's to welcome us."
Shen Lingling glanced at the chicken in Ma Yingjie's arms: "Are you sure?"
Lu Wensheng suddenly thought of something, glanced at the chicken in Lu Hao's arms and shook his head violently:
"uncertain!"
Shen Lingling spread her hands: "That's it"
