Lu Xiangze lay on the bed, looking out the window at the pitch-black sky.
I was completely wide awake.
Su Qiao now reads books in her online space every night.
Normally, Lu Xiangze would not bother her.
But today, he hesitated for a moment, but still entered the space.
After the upgrade, the entire space was under Su Qiao's watchful eye.
Naturally, Lu Xiangze, the visitor, was discovered.
Su Qiao noticed that he was in low spirits.
He asked proactively, "What's wrong?"
"I think I've found my father."
"oh?"
What a coincidence!
But who can say for sure?
Fate can be so wonderful and unpredictable.
"Then why are you unhappy?"
"I...I'm just afraid that he never really thought about me at all. Otherwise, why hasn't he contacted me all these years? I was only a few days old when Chen Ximei switched babies, so he should still be able to recognize me, right?"
There's a difference between me and her biological son; how could she not recognize me?
"So many years have passed, he may have other children now, it doesn't matter whether I'm here or not."
Su Qiao patted him on the shoulder.
"But in any case, seeking the truth is not a bad thing. Only by taking things up can you put them down. If a person is trapped in their own imagination and refuses to take a step forward, isn't that just making themselves suffer?"
Look ahead; things might not be as bad as you think.
Lu Xiangze calmed down strangely.
Su Qiao is right.
Thinking about it now is pointless.
Since the matter has already come to this point, facing it directly is the best approach.
Even in the worst-case scenario, he can still live a good life on his own.
Isn't this how we've gotten by all these years?
Thinking about whether I'll be abandoned now is just being dramatic.
Lu Xiangze quickly composed himself.
Su Qiao was still holding a book in her hand.
I'm very curious.
"Why did you suddenly decide to read books?"
"Although the country is somewhat lost right now, I believe the future will be bright. If the college entrance examination can be reinstated, I want to go to university."
Lu Xiangze learned most of his cultural knowledge while on the team.
When he had just started primary school, Chen Ximei stopped him from continuing his studies.
Later, he basically relied on self-study.
Therefore, he was very supportive of Su Qiao's idea.
"I support you."
The situation outside is very bad right now.
Su Qiao didn't expect Lu Xiangze to say that.
Suddenly, I realized that this "make do" wasn't so "make do" after all.
the next day.
Ye Sulan came to say goodbye to Su Qiao.
Among the group, Su Qiao noticed with her sharp eyes that Ye Ying and Zhao Qingshan both had dark circles under their eyes.
It's obvious he didn't sleep well.
It seems that Lu Xiangze's background has triggered these two people.
Su Qiao and Lu Xiangze escorted the person to the village entrance.
They had originally planned to have an oxcart take them to the commune, which would have been faster.
Unexpectedly, a Jeep was already parked at the intersection.
Fortunately, the older women hadn't yet arrived at the big tree at the village entrance.
Otherwise it would be even more lively.
Ye Ying didn't expect Lu Haoyun to personally drive over to pick her up.
He quickly stepped forward, "Comrade... Comrade Lu, let me drive. Let's switch seats."
"Need not."
"Comrade Lu, why don't you get off the bus?" Ye Ying didn't know how to start the conversation.
Brother, I think I've found your son.
Or, bro, your son is watching you from under the car.
Seeing his hesitation, Lu Haoyun said, "Speak your mind. Don't be so coy. It's disgusting."
Ye Ying decisively leaned in to listen.
He whispered it in Lu Haoyun's ear.
Upon hearing this, Lu Haoyun got out of the car.
His gaze swept around the room before immediately locking onto Lu Xiangze.
He took off his glasses.
He exchanged a glance with Lu Xiangze.
Shock flashed in both of their eyes.
The more Lu Haoyun looked at the man, the more he felt that his chin looked just like Ruan Ruan's.
The others do resemble him quite a bit.
Could it be...?
Lu Haoyun hadn't even had a chance to say anything.
The people on the bus were already urging them to hurry.
"Comrade Lu, time is running out, if we don't go soon we'll miss the train."
He still had business to attend to in J City and needed to return as soon as possible. That's why he came to pick them up ahead of schedule.
After a second of thought, Lu Haoyun turned around and got into the car.
He didn't say anything.
Lu Xiangze sneered. So this was tacitly admitting that they had given up on him?
Ye Sulan and the others had already boarded the bus.
Jia Yi and Wang Wu got on their bicycles, said goodbye, and set off.
Su Qiao hadn't expected things to develop this way.
When no one was looking, she secretly squeezed Lu Xiangze's hand.
He turned his head and smiled at Su Qiao.
He gently patted Su Qiao's hand to indicate that he was alright.
The jeep drove away.
A cloud of dust was blown up.
Su Qiao waved at the car.
"Don't be sad. Maybe he has an emergency. Besides, maybe he just looks similar and isn't the person you're looking for."
Lu Xiangze hummed in agreement.
Su Qiao actually knew that this reason was completely untenable.
It's not like we don't even have time to say a word.
Lu Xiangze didn't reveal anything.
He continued doing his carpentry work as usual.
Thanks to the free publicity last time, many people have already discovered Lu Xiangze's culinary skills.
Not to mention that Lu Xiang had visited Su Qiao's home.
Naturally, they discovered the wooden furniture, which looked brand new.
Lu Xiang liked it very much, and when she asked where it came from, she learned that it was written by Lu Xiangze.
Later, the table at the brigade leader's house really couldn't hold all the people.
After listening to Lu Xiang's words, I decided to go to Lu Xiangze's place and set up a desktop background as well.
Because Lu Xiangze refused to accept the money, the brigade leader came up with a plan: he chose a time when the village was busiest and had his sons carry the table around the village in a show of force.
The publicity effect was very good.
Those whose homes were lacking furniture, or whose daughters were about to get married and wanted furniture as part of their dowry, all came to Lu Xiangze.
I want to customize furniture.
Lu Xiangze only accepted a few.
Everything else was rejected.
Because he will be going to work at the factory soon.
Then no one forced them to continue.
Suddenly, a message came out.
A primary school is about to be built in Qingshui Brigade, and the school will be located at the end of the village.
It makes it easier for people from other villages to send their children to school.
Lu Fugui's thinking was simple: if the children could read and write, they would be better able to cope with their future work.
But given the current situation, no one is willing to waste this money.
Lu Xiang loves reading and thinks that a primary school will be built in the village in the future, so she might be able to become a teacher there.
Unexpectedly, before the school was even built, there was already such a strong voice of opposition.
Lu Xiang came to Su Qiao to complain that those people were not only uncultured, but also very ignorant.
They have no idea how many benefits reading can bring.
That might have been true before, but since that year, the world has been completely different.
Su Qiao had also heard those people's opposing voices.
The main problem is that even teenagers can help with household chores, so there's no point in bothering them with studying.
In the future, he'll still be a peasant.
Although consumption is currently restricted, various ration coupons are needed to limit supply.
Many of the ration coupons were simply unavailable to the villagers.
They can only watch others have it longingly.
Su Qiao thought for a moment and then quietly told Lu Xiang how to persuade those people.
