That night, Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling slept soundly, each one unaware that something had almost happened in the captain's family.
The next morning, when Han Muchen got up early to fetch water, he saw the team leader squatting at the door of Shengsheng's house. From the dew on his body, he knew that he had been waiting for a long time.
Han Muchen didn't know what happened last night, and thought something had happened to Shengsheng and the others, so he quickly stepped forward and asked with concern:
"Captain, what happened?"
Li Fugui quickly stood up and said, "No, no, I came to see Xiao Shen for something."
He knew about Shen Lingling and Han Muchen's affair. They were in love with each other and were just about to break the window paper. Now that his own confused person had messed things up, everything was over...
Han Muchen was relieved when he heard that everything was fine: "Please wait a moment, I'll go open the door."
As he said that, he took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.
Shen Lingling has already gotten up and is making dumplings in the kitchen. Last night Shengsheng said she wanted to eat vegetarian tofu dumplings, so Meng Qingtang went out to buy the tofu early in the morning, and it was still hot when he brought it back!
"Captain, why are you here?" Shen Lingling was a little surprised to see Li Fugui coming in.
She came here so early, could it be that she had beaten Li Caixia last night? Did the captain come to question her?
Li Fugui was afraid that she would think too much, so he quickly explained: "Xiao Shen, don't think too much. I'm here to apologize to you. Caixia was indeed wrong about what happened yesterday. I don't know where she heard the gossip from, but she just said it out loud. I've already taught her a lesson. You see..."
Shen Lingling didn't want to have a quarrel with the captain over such a small matter. Besides, she didn't suffer any loss last night. On the contrary, she enjoyed beating people up...
"Captain, you don't have to be so polite. How can I bother with a child? If an adult did something like this, I would really have to have a good talk with her. We are all women, how could we not know the consequences of false accusations!"
Although Shen Lingling didn't want to ruin the relationship, she couldn't let people think that she was a softie who was easy to bully!
Li Fugui understood what she meant. She was secretly telling him that she knew the mastermind behind the incident and if he wasn't disciplined properly, she wouldn't mind doing it for him.
"Chen Zhiqing is joking. Well, these are the buns that your sister-in-law made overnight to apologize to you. She was embarrassed to go out because of her facial injury, so she asked me to bring them to you."
Shen Lingling also understood. The underlying meaning was that she had already been beaten, and she was still given something delicious to eat. So why not just forget it...
Thinking that it would be inappropriate for a young educated person like me to lose face, and since the captain had done so much, it would be inappropriate for me to go too far, so I reached out and took the bag from the captain's hand:
"Thank you, Captain. Shengsheng was clamoring for buns last night!"
Lu Wensheng also came out of the house at this time: "Hey, why are you here, Captain? Have you eaten? Let's eat together. I have something to discuss with you!"
Li Fugui was relieved when he saw Shen Zhiqing accept the buns. He was in no mood to eat and quickly found an excuse to run away:
"Ah, I won't eat. I have an appointment with my uncle to inspect the granary. If you have anything to say, let's talk to the brigade later!"
"That's fine. Goodbye, Captain." Lu Wensheng was just being polite and giving the other a way out, so that was it.
After the captain walked away, Shen Lingling pointed at the bun in her arms and said, "Shengsheng, what should I do with this?"
Lu Wensheng reached out and took two and took a bite: "It smells good, it's filled with meat!"
Shen Lingling laughed: "You!"
After thinking about it, I decided to express my concerns:
"Shengsheng, the captain must have been waiting at the door for a long time. He is the leader of the team after all. Although we have Captain Shen as our life-saving talisman, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one!"
Lu Wensheng mumbled, "So what do you want to say?"
Shen Lingling: "So when the buns are out of the pot, give some to the captain as a return gift."
Lu Wensheng said, "I knew it."
"Okay!"
What can I do? The little sister is also thinking about herself, even though she is a little cowardly, but... forget it, just spoil her!
"The firewood sent by the three Liu brothers recently is enough to burn. There is no more space at home. I paid them yesterday and will not send any more."
Lu Xie came in from outside. He had a long talk with his teacher about the current situation last night and came back a little late.
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Well, I guess it's about the same. I forgot about it these days."
Lu Xie took the intact bun from Lu Wensheng's hand and took a bite: "Hmm? Isn't it filled with tofu?"
Lu Wensheng took another one out of Shen Lingling's arms: "Oh, the captain sent it to me. He said it was to apologize to Lingling."
Lu Xie raised his eyebrows: "Of course, your captain is a good person and can bend and stretch!"
He had originally planned to sneak in tonight to vent his anger on Xiao Shen, but now that he has eaten his bun, he can't do anything about it!
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Yes! I was originally planning to ask Li Laizi to go to his house tonight, but now it's really difficult to do it..."
Lu Xie couldn't help but roar in his heart: Damn it, if I tell anyone that this isn't my daughter, no one will believe me!
I have to write a letter to Chen tonight. You see, our surname is Lu~
After breakfast, they went to work as usual. Meng Qingtang, Han Muchen and Lu Hao went to Xiaoqingshan to collect mountain products.
Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling went to the threshing ground together to peel pine nuts (actually they went to listen to gossip). They hadn't been hanging out with the old ladies recently, so the news in the village was lagging behind.
As for Uncle Xiaoxie, his mission is to go up the mountain to hunt. It is getting colder, and it is time to smoke bacon, sausages and chicken. It is not as cheap to buy them outside as to hunt them in the mountains!
The two of them went to the pigpen first. Han Muchen had already fed the pigs, so they just came to go through the motions. The piglets had gained weight after not seeing them for two days, and each one was pink and tender and looked especially delicious.
Even the little Yuanbao has become fatter, standing out among the pigs.
"Only you can come up with this idea!" Lu Wensheng gave Shen Lingling a thumbs up, showing that he was convinced.
"Isn't this fatter and whiter than the one we raise ourselves? And we can save on milk powder." Shen Lingling was complacent. In fact, she had a sudden inspiration at that time and brought little Yuanbao with her.
