Qin Anning and Lu Cheng got up early the next morning. After having breakfast at around seven o'clock, they drove back to the village.
Before I even reached the village, I saw a lot of people digging pits, with one every few dozen meters.
Qin Anning leaned against the car window and saw this scene, a little puzzled, "What are they doing?"
Lu Cheng glanced at it casually, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they're digging a hole to bury the electric pole?"
"Does this mean the village will have electricity?"
A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Qin An Ning's eyes. Every time she returned to the village, she had to light candles or kerosene lamps at night, which she was a little uncomfortable with.
"I don't know. I'm just guessing. I'll ask Dad when I get home."
Before I got home, I saw Lu Rongjiang at the entrance of the village. He was talking to someone.
Lu Cheng stopped the car and got out with Qin An Ning and walked over. Lu Rongjiang was also very happy to see his son and daughter-in-law come back. He said a few words to the man and went to greet them.
There was a hint of surprise in his tone, "Why are you two back?"
The villagers who knew him also stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears to listen to Lu Cheng's answer.
"Ningning and I are going to start working at a new company soon. There will be no winter or summer vacations, not to mention no long vacations, so it will be inconvenient for us to come back.
I just wanted to come back to see you and my mom before work." Lu Cheng answered truthfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice from the crowd asked, "Lu Cheng, where have you been assigned to work? What do you do? Do you earn as much as when you were a driver?"
Faced with such a straightforward question, Lu Cheng simply responded, "I work in design and development at a Beijing automobile manufacturing plant, researching cars." He didn't explain in too much detail.
Most of the older generation in the village have little education and know nothing about automobile research and development. If we really want to explain it to them clearly, I am afraid it will take days and nights to answer all their questions.
"Building a car? That's amazing! Your studies are really worth it."
Someone nearby echoed, "Of course not. Lu Cheng has been smart since he was young, and now he's the first college student in our village. The captain would probably wake up laughing in his dreams."
"I've always said that Lu Cheng has a promising future. What do you think? Am I right?"
Seeing those people speaking nice words without asking for anything in return, and more and more people praising him, Lu Cheng was a little tired of dealing with them. He said something to Lu Rongjiang, pulled Qin An Ning back to the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Lu Cheng wiped the sweat from his head and said with lingering fear, "Sometimes excessive enthusiasm is really hard to handle!"
Qin Anning laughed at him, "You can be considered to have returned home in glory! It's natural that the folks will be a little enthusiastic."
"Then forget it. I'd rather they stay the same as before."
The two returned home, found the key to open the door, and put everything they brought back into the house. Lu Cheng then went to fetch two buckets of water, put the pork next to the cold buckets, and soaked a watermelon in the water. After he finished his work, he went to the field to find Wang Qiufen.
Lu Cheng reached out to help Qin An Ning adjust her sun hat, then glanced at the rising sun and said with concern, "It's too hot outside. Why don't you wait at home? I'll go find it myself."
"Let's go, I'm not that delicate!" Qin An Ning pulled Lu Cheng out of the yard.
Wang Qiufen was weeding in the soybean field in the north today. They have been working all year round and have long been accustomed to this kind of weather. Even the sweat on their faces could not stop them from chatting.
Aunt Lu's face was filled with joy as she said with a smile, "Yanli is pregnant. Sisters-in-law, if you have any extra eggs at home, could you please share some with me? I want to nourish Yanli."
Wang Qiufen immediately responded, "I have more than 20 eggs at home, just come and get them later."
The children were not at home, and it was just her and her husband. They were reluctant to eat the eggs, so they saved them.
However, it was hot and the eggs couldn't be kept for too long, so she had planned to wait for the children to come back on the weekend to eat them.
Second Aunt Lu also said, "All my eggs were eaten by the children. There are not many left, but I can save some for you."
Aunt Lu waved her hand quickly, "No need, sister-in-law. The children are still growing and need to be supplemented."
In recent years, the family has had workers working, and the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine in the village has made work points more valuable. Life has become much better, and the children are no longer as reluctant to eat even an egg as they used to be.
The three sisters-in-law were chatting animatedly, and the people around them would occasionally interject a few words, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
However, there are always people who like to stir up trouble.
Wu Dani's voice suddenly came from the side, saying in a gloomy tone, "Wang Qiufen, Lu Wen's wife got pregnant after only six months of marriage, and your Lu Cheng has been married for several years and still doesn't have a child. Is it because one of you can't have children?"
Ever since Zhang Xiaojun injured Qingqing and sent her to the hospital, and the Zhang family was beaten and had to pay compensation, Wu Dani has been holding a grudge against him.
But the Lu family's life was getting better and better, and she could never find a chance to vent.
When she heard the news that Wu Yanli was pregnant today, she suddenly remembered that Qin Anning had never given birth to a child, and it seemed like she had found an outlet to vent.
Wu Dani covered her mouth and laughed smugly, "Oh, what's the point of being capable if you can't even give birth to a child? When you die, you won't even have anyone to break the pot for you. How pitiful! Tsk tsk tsk!"
Every word she said was like a knife, stabbing Wang Qiufen's heart.
Because Lu Cheng once told her that he had encountered robbers when he was doing transportation.
In order to protect the goods from being stolen, he fought with the robbers. Although he finally defeated the robbers, he was kicked hard in the vitals and the pain lasted for several days.
