After Qin Anning said this, Lu Rongjiang hesitated a little, "Then...then I take it?"
"Take it! Take it!" Lu Cheng walked over in two or three steps and stuffed the enamel pot into Lu Rongjiang's arms without saying anything.
Lu Rongjiang showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. After all, all his relatives were present, so it was indeed a bit embarrassing.
He coughed lightly to cover up his mistake, then said, "Well, I'm going to go to the team headquarters to check the situation first. You guys can do whatever you want."
Before he finished speaking, he turned and walked out, but he was still holding the enamel pot tightly in his hand, with no intention of putting it down.
Wang Qiufen leaned over the window and shouted, "Old man, the jar hasn't been cleaned yet. You have to wash it before you drink the water!"
Hearing this, Lu Rongjiang's steps obviously became chaotic, but he pretended not to hear and did not respond, but he walked a little faster.
Wang Qiufen laughed heartily from inside the house. "That damn old man must be showing off again. He carried the radio Ningning bought him last time everywhere he went. He's been walking around the village with it for over half a month, until even a three-year-old knew the team leader's son and daughter-in-law had bought him an expensive radio."
These words made everyone laugh. It was the first time Qin An Ning heard this. She didn't expect that her father-in-law had such a lovely side.
Time passed quickly, and Qin Anning and Lu Cheng's vacation was about to end, but Qin Zhen had not come back yet. Qin Anning thought that if her father didn't come back today, she would have to call tomorrow to extend her vacation.
This was easy for her, as Niu Jiancheng wouldn't make things difficult for her. But it was a bit difficult for Lu Cheng. After all, his current vacation had already been specially approved by the factory director, and extending it further would be a bit unreasonable.
If I leave a bad impression on the factory manager from the beginning, it will be difficult to carry out my work in the future.
Or call Qi Guohui and ask him to help?
Who told them not to go back? It was to cover up for their father!
When you think about it this way, this method is really feasible.
"What are you thinking about? I called you several times but you didn't hear me." Lu Cheng pinched Qin An Ning's face gently.
Qin An Ning patted him casually and said, "I'm thinking about the holidays. Dad's not done with his work yet, so we might have to go back late."
"Dad is doing important things, we must support him. If you can't go back, just ask for a few days off from the factory. Don't worry, it's okay." Lu Cheng knew that Qin An Ning was worried about him, so he comforted her.
Their factory manager is not an unreasonable person, so there should be no problem if he explains it carefully.
Qin Anning had already made up her mind that if Qin Zhen couldn't come back on time, she would call Qi Guohui, so she didn't argue with Lu Cheng, "What did you call me for just now?"
"Oh, Mom said the corn in the garden is ready to eat, and she wanted to ask if you wanted some roasted corn."
Speaking of roasted corn, Qin Anning seemed to be able to smell that unique aroma.
When roasted over charcoal fire, the corn skin becomes golden and crispy, while the inside is soft, glutinous and sweet. It tastes chewy yet delicate, and just thinking about it makes you drool.
Qin An Ning nodded vigorously with shining eyes, "Eat!" and licked his lips unconsciously.
That greedy look made Lu Cheng laugh out loud. He rubbed her head and said gently, "Wait."
There was no charcoal at home, so Lu Cheng built a simple stove in the yard with a few adobe bricks. He first ignited dry branches with firewood, and then placed the remaining coal blocks from the winter on top. After a while, the coal blocks burned, and the entire stove mouth turned into a red flame.
Lu Cheng inserted an iron stick into the corn pulp, then placed it a little further away from the fire and kept turning it back and forth. In just a few minutes, the corn was roasted.
The freshly roasted corn was hot, so Lu Cheng tore off two pieces of corn husk and wrapped it around the corn so that it wouldn't be hot at all.
When the four members of the Cheng family saw how much Lu Cheng doted on Qin An Ning, they all showed relieved smiles on their faces. Seeing the young couple so loving, they were also sincerely happy in their hearts.
The night passed quietly, and in the early morning of the next day, Qin Anning seemed to hear the roar of a car engine in a daze. At first, she thought it was Lu Cheng driving to the commune to buy pork, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
But when she turned over, she found Lu Cheng still lying beside her, which made her originally confused mind instantly clear up.
So she immediately sat up, quickly put on her clothes, and got off the ground. Lu Cheng was also woken up by her movements. He yawned loudly and asked lazily, "Wife, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
"I heard the sound of a car. I went to see if Dad was back."
After Qin An Ning said this, Lu Cheng could no longer lie there. He quickly put on his clothes and walked out with Qin An Ning.
When the two of them left the house, they saw Qin Zhen's car parked at the gate. He and Lu Rongjiang were talking.
"Dad, you're back!" Qin Anning sniffed hard as she spoke, and only felt relieved when she found no blood. She then asked, "Is everything going well? Are you not hurt?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Everything has been handled and I can leave for home today." Qin Zhen felt very relieved when he saw his daughter's concerned look.
Qin An Ning did not respond. To return to the village at this time, they must have traveled all night last night.
Not only were Qin Zhen's eyes bloodshot, but so were Pan Feng's. Judging from how exhausted they both looked, it was definitely more than just a night of sleep deprivation.
