After arriving at the destination, Lu Wensheng signaled to Han Muchen to ask Li Zhenguo and others to come up and drink water.
Han Muchen knew how to do this job. He raised his hand and called everyone to come up. The bonding between men came quickly and in a short while he had become one with everyone.
Comrade Xiao Shen is a thoughtful girl. When she is at home, she has already kept the water in a state that is neither hot nor cold. This is the best way to drink it. Although it is not as enjoyable as cold water, it does not hurt the stomach.
She and Lu Wensheng worked together and quickly distributed water to everyone. Li Zhenguo took a sip and looked up in surprise:
"Girl, you added sugar? We are a bunch of old men and we are all rough people. Isn't it a waste if you add sugar?"
Sugar is a rare thing these days, and many of them don’t even have sugar at home. This young educated youth named Xiaolu is really generous!
The men were reluctant to drink, and they took small sips to savor the drink. They all felt that the work they did tonight was worth it, as they not only got paid, but also got sugar water to drink. They didn't get this kind of treatment at home!
Lu Wensheng said politely with a smile: "Brother Zhenguo, please don't say that. You have been busy all day and still have to come to work at night. Isn't it our duty to do this little thing?"
Han Muchen also echoed: "That's right, you still have to worry about the house!"
Li Zhenguo didn't hesitate, patted Han Muchen's shoulder and said cheerfully: "Don't worry, we are all experienced, we will definitely build a beautiful house!"
This was exactly what Lu Wensheng was waiting for. He nodded with a smile and said that he believed them.
After everyone finished drinking the sugar water, they jumped back into the pit to work, while Lu Wensheng led the three of them to talk to Village Chief Li.
Village Chief Li was chewing a melon when he was suddenly stared at by four pairs of eyes. He asked unhappily, "What are you doing?"
Han Muchen also organized his words at this time and said, "Village Chief, we..."
Lu Wensheng said he couldn't bear to watch it, and reminded him: "Call him uncle, he is our uncle!"
Good fellow! Even if I have a big thigh, I won’t hug it.
Han Muchen blushed and corrected: "Uncle, um, we also want to build a house!"
Village Chief Li was so shocked that he didn't even bother to eat melons: "What! You guys are building it too? All of you?"
Ma Yingjie nodded: "Well, Uncle, we are worried about Sister Lu moving out alone, so we want to keep her company. Besides, aren't there going to be new educated youth coming to our village? If we move out, it will free up space, right?"
Shen Lingling also spoke up: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Village Chief Li finished a few bites of the melon in his hand and said carefully: "You educated youth only have the right to live in the house you built. When you leave, I won't return your money." He had to make it clear in advance.
Han Muchen nodded and said, "Yes, we know. Xiao Sheng told us all this."
Village Chief Li pondered...
Lu Wensheng quickly winked at the three of them.
Three people: Oh oh oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot!
So the three of them took out cigarettes from their pockets and handed them over: "Thank you for your help, uncle."
Village Chief Li: Humph! You little brats, why didn’t you bring out the good stuff earlier?
Lu Wensheng held his forehead with his hand again. He couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he snatched the cigarette away and stuffed it into Village Chief Li's empty hand, saying with a smile:
"Uncle, just agree to it. I'm a little scared to live alone. They can just build two rooms. It won't affect the double harvest. Besides, it's your political achievement that we educated youths have built houses in the village, right? When you report to the commune at the next meeting, you'll be so proud!"
Village Chief Li was obviously moved. It must be said that Comrade Xiaolu was eloquent, unlike these three saw-mouthed gourds, who could not get anything out of their mouths after three kicks. He made up his mind immediately:
"Okay! I'll finish building yours and then build theirs."
The three of them smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Village chief Li looked at the three idiots and said nothing. He still liked to deal with Lu Wensheng.
As soon as Lu Wensheng saw the old man's expression, she knew that she had not hit the spot, so she decided to teach these three honest children a lesson and continued with a smile:
"Of course you have to thank our uncle. Why did our uncle grant us all the residential land in the village? It must be because he values the value brought by us educated youth!
Therefore, we must respond to the call of the country under the leadership of our uncle and build the countryside well. We must carry forward the revolutionary spirit of not fearing hardship or fatigue, and shed our sweat on this lovely land! "
Village Chief Li immediately smiled and waved his hands: "Hey! It's not that serious. I'll be very grateful if you don't cause me any trouble!"
Lu Wensheng took the opportunity to say, "That can't be possible. We are all honest children!"
Everyone: Are you honest?
Lu Wensheng: Hmm, would it be glorious to speak more quietly?
After receiving the gift, Village Chief Li didn't want to stay here anymore. He had to go home and take good care of his Daqianmen. Next month, when he went to the commune meeting, he would bring this with him to make a scene and piss off those old guys. So he found an excuse and said:
"Well, I'll go back and write the materials for you. Come to my house to see me at noon tomorrow."
After saying that, he left without waiting for their reply.
The remaining three people, Han, Chen and Lu, looked at Lu Wensheng with sparkling eyes and said: I learned it, I learned it!
Lu Wensheng looked at the clear stupidity in the eyes of the three people and couldn't help but teach them:
"When you give gifts to people in the future, just stuff them into their hands. What? When you ask for a favor, you expect them to condescend to take it. How embarrassing! You have to give gifts that make people feel good! Do you understand?"
The three of them nodded in unison: I understand.
Lu Gonggong Hao came to Lu Wensheng and fawned on her: "Sister Lu, why don't you start the class? I'll kneel down and listen!"
Lu, Han, Chen: ...
Just as the three of them were staring at each other in amazement, the sound of a tractor coming closer and closer broke the awkwardness.
Da da da da da…
"It's Erzhuzi and the others who are back!"
Sure enough, the tractor drove over from a distance and stopped at the educated youth site. Bai Qian and Li Yan, who were sitting in the tractor, were blown like two crazy women, with dirt all over their heads and faces...
After parking the car, Erzhuzi ignored them and ran straight towards Lu Wensheng and the others: It was all because of these two troublesome educated youth. They delayed him from earning his wages.
When Lu Wensheng saw Er Zhuzi running over, he thought there was something to be desired, so he whispered to Ma Ying-jeou, "Go and pour Er Zhuzi a bowl of water."
Ma Yingjie: "Hey!" His advantage is that he is obedient!
So, as soon as Erzhuzi ran to his destination, a bowl of water appeared.
His throat was already burning from the journey, so when he saw the water, he took it and drank it in one gulp.
"Huh? It's actually sugar water. Thank you, Brother Lu!" Erzhuzi said gratefully.
"You're welcome!"
Seeing Erzhuzi taking a breath, Lu Wensheng quickly asked, "How is it? What's going on?"
Erzhu was confused: "What's going on?"
Ma Yingjie immediately gained confidence. He knew what Sister Lu was talking about!
"Bai Zhiqing and Li Zhiqing!"
"Oh, this is what happened..."
Erzhuzi's eyes sparkled as he recalled the farce at the county hospital, and he began to tell the story like pouring out beans...
"After we arrived at the county hospital..."
