After dinner, grandpa made plans to go back to the village. Although he didn't feel comfortable there, if he stayed in the county, the two children would definitely have to accompany them.
He didn't want Lu Cheng to waste his vacation here. It was only right for Lu Cheng to go back and spend time with his parents.
Seeing that his grandfather was determined and unable to persuade him to change his mind, Qin Anning had no choice but to agree to go back with him.
However, before going back, she and Lu Cheng went out for a walk and brought back some daily necessities such as rice, flour, and eggs, so that they would feel more comfortable at Lu's house.
Today happened to be the weekend. In the evening, Lu Chang, Lu Dongshuang and others went home and brought a lot of delicious food.
When Lu Chang saw the people at home, he was stunned at first, and then he suddenly realized that the fifth brother and his wife had secretly gone out in the middle of the night to visit their grandmother and others.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? That way, I could go over and look after you often when you weren't at home!" Lu Chang glared at Lu Cheng dissatisfiedly and said with a hint of blame.
Others might be afraid to interact with the sent-down personnel, but he was not afraid to learn from the sent-down professors, so how could he be afraid to take care of his brother-in-law's family?
Ningning took so much care of their family, but he only found out now that Ningning's family had been sent down to the countryside, and he felt a little guilty about it.
"Don't think too much." Lu Cheng put his arm on Lu Chang's shoulder and said in a sly tone, "Wouldn't this make it more convenient for Mom and Dad? Otherwise, do you think you can escape?"
Lu Chang glanced at Lu Cheng, slapped his hand away, turned around and walked towards his grandfather and uncle, and started chatting with them.
The evening breeze brought a slight coolness. Everyone sat in the yard, talking and laughing, while the children played happily on the side. It was so pleasant.
Qin An Ning found an opportunity to call Lu Dongshuang out alone, chatted with her for a few words, and then asked tentatively, "Third sister, have you considered looking for someone else?"
Lu Dongshuang shook her head decisively, "I am living a good life with Pan'er now, and I have no plans to remarry."
The money she earns now is enough for her and her daughter to live a good life. If she looks for another family, what if that family treats Pan'er badly?
She didn't want Pan'er to suffer any injustice, and she herself didn't want to live the same life as before.
Qin Anning saw that Lu Dongshuang's tone was firm and there was not even a hint of hesitation, so he knew that she was serious.
But Rong Zhizhou lives next door, and they see each other every day. If I don’t refuse him explicitly, I’m afraid he won’t give up.
After thinking about it, Qin An Ning told Lu Dongshuang about what Rong Zhizhou had looked for her today.
Lu Dongshuang said calmly, "Actually, I also saw what he was thinking, but he never said it clearly, so I couldn't refuse him, so I could only keep my distance from him.
It’s good that he said it now, so I can just refuse it directly.
Ningning, I'll talk to him about this myself, so don't worry about it."
She is not a child anymore, so she can't rely on Ningning to help her with everything.
They were living a peaceful life, but Qin Zhen was extremely busy.
Qin Zhen came here this time not only because he had a reason to avoid attracting attention, but also because the things here were related to the task he had done before.
In the Xinhe Brigade, some of the older generation, when they were bandits, secretly colluded with the small-time people.
The people of Xiaozi supported them behind the scenes, and most of the money they robbed was taken away by Xiaozi.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, their good life quickly collapsed, and the bandit forces in various places became more and more arrogant.
There was a popular saying at the time: "Being a bandit is a lot of fun. You can ride a big horse, drink wine, and hug a woman and eat steamed buns."
During that chaotic period, the bandits unscrupulously robbed the people's property, raped women, and committed many heinous crimes.
Later, after the bandit suppression operation was successful, those bandits who had committed heinous crimes and numerous evil deeds were severely dealt with according to law, but inevitably there were a very small number of bandits who escaped the net and were lucky enough to survive.
People like Zhou Zhiming, Lu Changfu, and Liu Changzhang were only in their teens or twenties at that time, and they were not the leaders among the bandits. They survived by chance.
People as smart as Zhou Zhiming took advantage of the imperfect household registration system at the time and quietly changed their names and started a new life.
But what is unexpected is that some of them were later implicated with the enemy spies who were lurking there during their daily lives.
For example, in that gold mine, for a long period of time, all the gold mined was used as funds for enemy spies to carry out sabotage activities. This is really shocking and outrageous.
However, for some unknown reason, mining was stopped later, which led to the incident where Qin Anning and Lu Cheng fell into the cave and found gold bars and bones when they came out.
Later, there was the incident of Lu Xingbang stealing gold. They followed the clues and found a lot of things. In addition, the bandit incident happened too long ago, so it took a lot of time to find out who was involved with the enemy spies. That's why the matter here was delayed until now.
The matter has been investigated clearly, and the people monitored by Lin Peng have been controlled. Qin Zhen came here to arrange the roundup operation.
Only by decisively fighting a quick battle can we not give those people the opportunity to pass on the message.
So when Qin An Ning and the others fell asleep, Qin Zhen and his team were carrying out a large-scale arrest.
The next morning, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Looking at the gloomy sky, Lu Rongjiang couldn't help but sigh deeply.
We had originally planned to pull electric wires in the village today, but now it seems that we can't do it. Not only that, the construction of the oil press has also been affected. The foundation has just been completed, and the next rain will delay it for a while.
Seeing that the wheat was about to mature, Lu Rongjiang had wanted to take care of all these trivial matters before harvesting the wheat, but the rain ruined everything.
"Stop sighing. It's not your thing to decide whether it will rain or not. Let's go and play cards." Lu Cheng put his arm around Lu Rongjiang's shoulders and led him into the house and sat him down at the card table.
Four people, Lu Rongjiang and Lu Cheng, grandfather and uncle, two pairs of father and son fighting against each other.
The game is the 414 game that is common in Northeast China. The two opponents are partners, and there are bombing and explosions. 414 (4A4) is the largest. You can play single cards, pairs of cards, consecutive cards, and crosses. The player who has not finished playing his cards at the end has to pay tribute to the player who finished playing his cards first. It is a very simple and interesting way to play.
Originally, Lu Cheng wanted to suggest drinking cold water, and whoever lost would drink a glass of cold water. But when he saw that he couldn't afford to offend any of the other two or three people at the table, he changed it to sticking notes, and whoever lost would stick one on his face.
The women sat nearby and sold food. When everyone was having fun, Lu Dongxue came back in the rain.
