Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Jin Man’s village was…
Jinman's village was selected by the government as an important cooperative for pilot operations.
Zhou Yu was also puzzled. The oranges in their village were good, but it was not worth investing hundreds of millions to buy them.
Jin Man’s idea was simple: since it was organized by the government, there was no problem in going and taking a look.
"Brother, if this works, you won't have to run around outside so often. That would be great."
Zhou Yu and Jin Man both face a problem: their lives and work are not in the same place, and they often cannot balance them.
This solved the biggest problem they faced.
The village chief quickly organized young people at home to participate in training, and Jin Man went to attend with his child.
Lu Yanlin never came after that day, but he would like Jin Man’s posts on WeChat Moments late at night, one or two at a time, giving people the feeling that he was alive but half dead.
Jin Man took his child to attend the training. Duoduo had a slight cold these two days and lay listlessly in his arms.
Many leaders came to the venue and the meeting was very formal. At the beginning, the mayor spoke, followed by experts. The common people were confused and didn't quite understand. Only one thing was clear: they were going to make a lot of money.
Jin Man listened very carefully, and when the entrepreneurs spoke in the second half, the whole audience burst into applause.
A foot in an expensive leather shoe touched the ground. Above him was the straight line of his suit trousers, and his strict suit outlined his tall and upright figure.
He walked into the venue, his facial features like the cold moon were extraordinarily handsome and chilling. He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, young, handsome, and naturally noble.
Jin Man almost choked on his own saliva. Who else could that guy who looked like a human being be but Lu Yanlin?
He was so fidgety that he wanted to stand up, but in order to hear more clearly, he had been sitting in the first row. In front of everyone, could he still rush out without losing face?
Besides, Lu Yanlin might not have come for him.
Jin Man hypnotized himself in his mind. After Lu Yanlin finished speaking, he sat next to the mayor and looked in his direction frequently.
Jin Man: “…”
Duoduo was still feeling a little hot after a good sleep. He rubbed Jinman's hand and sneezed twice: "Manman, I have a headache."
Jin Man touched his forehead and found it wasn't too hot. Suddenly, the whole venue fell silent. He had a bad feeling and slowly raised his head.
A shadow fell before his eyes. The person who had just been sitting on the podium was now standing before him, his face filled with worry and concern: "Manman, what's wrong with you?"
Jin Man wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's nothing. Thank you for your concern."
Lu Yanlin looked disappointed as he glanced around the venue, nodded, and returned to the podium. During this time, he looked back at him. The people around him also looked at Jin Man, which made his hair numb.
The mayor's secretary laughed it off and tried to smooth things over, saying that Mr. Lu was really warm-hearted, had love in his heart and affection in his eyes, and cared about the people of our Liuhe Town.
Jin Man sneered in his heart and cursed him as a bastard. Later, Lu Yanlin did not come in person, but sent someone to bring hot water and buy medicine, and then delivered them to him in a soft voice.
Jin Man couldn't stand it anymore, so he snuck out of the first row with his child in his arms, escaping in the way he least wanted to.
He had barely walked a few steps out of the government building when a black car drove up. The driver, an old acquaintance, said sincerely, "Mr. Jin, Mr. Lu asked me to take you to the hospital. It's so early in the morning, and there are no taxis near the government building. The child is more important."
No matter how unhappy Jin Man was, he would never joke with Duoduo. He was really worried that something might happen to the child.
Besides, is Lu Yanlin the only one allowed to cause trouble for him?
Just sit down.
Jin Man opened the door with a serious face, and the driver took him to the town hospital. The doctor prescribed some medicine and said that the child had a low fever and should pay attention to keeping warm recently. He just needed to go back and take the medicine.
He took the medicine, went around to the back door, and took a bus home.
Duoduo asked him: "Why did Manman take a detour?"
Jin Man explained seriously: "There are bad guys ahead."
The driver waited at the main gate for more than three hours. He glanced at his cold-faced boss through the rearview mirror and said, "Mr. Lu, how about I go in and take a look?"
Lu Yanlin was looking at his phone when he suddenly saw a new post in his constantly refreshing circle of friends. The picture showed a hot pot and two or three side dishes.
Jinman: [Delicious]
[Picture] [Picture]
He took a deep breath. He should have been annoyed because no one in the world who could play tricks on him like this had ever been born.
But Lu Yanlin was reluctant to do so, because whenever he got close to Jin Man, he was always rejected and disliked. He often felt pain in his heart and there was no way to relieve it.
He clutched his chest, adjusting to the feeling of loss and discomfort. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Drive back to Lu Mansion."
Lu Yanlin urgently needed to return to the small house. He was afraid that if he acted impulsively, he would do something that he would regret.
Winter is coming soon. It rarely snows in southern cities, but today's winter is colder than ever before, and one or two small snowflakes will occasionally fall.
Jin Man's life is fulfilling and busy. Every day he is either busy with training and studying, or busy building a house.
He took out a loan to remove the roof, reinstall asbestos tiles, and paint it white. These jobs are best done in winter when there isn't as much rain, but the weather is too cold.
In fact, if you have money, it would be best to ask someone else to do it, or find a few people to help. However, Jinman doesn't have much money, and the house is not big, so hiring someone is not cost-effective.
Zhou Yu brought him sand and materials. He had experience on construction sites and started working enthusiastically. It was so hot in winter that he only wore a vest and his body was covered with shiny sweat.
When Lu Zhi came to visit, stepping on the mud and carrying gifts, he almost didn't recognize him. He opened his round eyes wide and called out, "Dad."
Jin was sweating all over. He was stunned when he heard the voice and turned around.
Lu Yanlin held Lu Zhi's hand and stood below, looking up at him.
Jin Man lifted his clothes to wipe the sweat off his face, his expression slightly gloomy, and he snorted and muttered something like "dog skin plaster". But when he jumped down from the height and spoke to Lu Zhi, his expression became much more lively and smart: "Why are you here?"
Lu Zhi lowered his head, his little face buried in the red scarf, and said seriously with a cold expression, "I miss my dad."
He raised his little hand and handed the item he had chosen to Jin Man: "A gift for Dad."
Jin Man opened the box and found a scarf of the same style but a different color. It was quite expensive and he didn't know whether he should accept it.
Lu Zhi understood as soon as he saw his expression and immediately said, "This is a reward for my hard work. I saved up for a long time to buy it. Please accept it, Dad."
Jin Man hesitated for a moment, then put it away. He was a mess from working. "Dad has to work today. Do you want to go play with Duoduo? He's at Uncle Zhou's house."
Lu Zhi looked around with a look of reluctance on his face, but still nodded in agreement obediently, then looked up at Lu Yanlin.
Lu Yanlin was ignored the whole time and his face was a little stiff. Fortunately, it was not the first time that he was treated coldly by Jin Man, and he was almost used to it. This subtle psychological feeling made him feel even worse, but no one cared.
He looked at Jin Man deeply and said, "I'll take him there."
Jin Man waved his hand casually and continued to work hard on building the roof. There have been many young people in the village recently.
The news that the government was going to launch a cooperative pilot project in the village spread like wildfire. Many young and middle-aged people who had been working away from home received the news and were eager to return home. The originally lonely mountain village suddenly became lively.
When Jin Man was working hard, he was suddenly called. He lowered his head and saw an unfamiliar beta boy standing in the yard.
"Brother, my mother asked me to come over and borrow two eggs."
Jin Man was too busy to do anything else and sat on the beam: "What are you borrowing? Just take them. There are seven or eight of them in the chicken coop. You can eat them and leave one or two for the hens to brood on."
Beta was very sweet-talking, calling me brother all the time. He took the eggs and climbed up to help.
"Brother, you are really strong."
"This rebar-twisting skill is incredible. Has he worked on a construction site before? No wonder. I want to build a kitchen for my home later. Will you take the job? I'll pay 220 a day, plus meals. I used to be a stir-fry chef in a hotel in the city, and my cooking skills are impeccable."
"Brother, you still have chest muscles?"
Jin Man really had that idea. School was on vacation recently, so there weren't that many delivery orders. He had a lot of free time throughout the winter, and he couldn't plant fruit trees until next spring. He planned to do some light work, and Beta could be said to be like a pillow delivered to someone when he was sleepy.
He smiled heartily and said openly, "No problem, just let me know when you have the materials."
Beta uttered a sigh and went back happily.
Jin Man nailed the asbestos tiles and turned around to see someone behind him. He suppressed his brow twitching and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Lu Yanlin took off his coat in the middle of winter, wearing a white shirt and expensive leather shoes stained with cement dust. He climbed up the scaffolding and said, "I'll help you."
Jin Man banged his hammer loudly and warned expressionlessly: "Master, I won't be responsible if you die from the fall. I can't afford to hire you."
Lu Yanlin glanced at him, not knowing which of his words made her sad. She pursed her lips and looked away: "I know."
"You know nothing, get out of here!"
Jin Man was furious, his mind in a mess. He decided to ignore Lu Yanlin and didn't believe that someone who had never been in the kitchen would do rough and heavy work. He had never even helped to fix the spilled soy sauce at home, so he could only pretend for a few minutes.
Thinking of this, Jin Man felt happy.
He raised his chin, half-smiled, "Okay, why wouldn't I use this free labor? Come on, help me lift that asbestos tile up."
Lu Yanlin's expression shifted slightly, a small smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, a little shy and surprised: "Okay."
Jin Man felt uncomfortable with his expression, but soon calmed down. He turned around and did his own work, tightening the screws of the asbestos tile, and the next asbestos tile was brought up.
Lu Yanlin's black hair was scattered. When he was carrying things, the tight white shirt instantly outlined the smooth lines of his back. The cuffs were slightly pulled up because of the force, revealing his strong forearms.
At this time, his mysophobia was gone. He was covered in dust and his brows were tightly furrowed, but he didn't let go.
Jin Man was not polite at all and treated him like an animal.
"So-and-so, bring up a bucket of cement slurry. What? You don't know how to mix it? Then go away. I can do it myself."
"Hey, bring some more asbestos tiles and some wire."
"Well, the cement delivery guy will be here soon. Go and unload it. It's not much, just a dozen or so bags."
Jin Mancheng was determined to piss the man off, and he made things difficult for him. He was just frustrated that he didn't have any pigs to feed, otherwise he could have asked Lu Yanlin to clean the pigpen. Later, when there was really no work to do in the yard, he gritted his teeth and ordered, "The chickens are out of food, go and cut some vegetables."
Lu Yanlin's face was cold and calm. He nodded in agreement, wiped the sweat from his face, and went out carrying the backpack and sickle.
After he walked away, Jin Man squatted on the roof in frustration, hammering nails. To be honest, he really couldn't understand Lu Yanlin now. He was putting on too much of a show.
There were two villains fighting inside him. One was saying, "Come on, come on. Can't you tell what he's trying to do during this time? Has nothing good happened in the past five years? You really don't feel anything at all. Someone risked their own life to save you from the fire. How can you forget about saving your life?"
One was so angry that he was spitting fire. If he wanted it, he would take it. If he didn't want it, he would say coldly, "Yes, I don't like you. I treat you as a decoration. I married you just to save my mother." How shameless would one have to be to stay with such a scumbag?
The two villains refused to give in to each other and quarreled fiercely.
Jin Man was extremely annoyed when Aunt Liu from next door walked in angrily, with her hands on her hips, followed by a calm man in a suit.
Auntie: "Jin Man, why did you let someone cut my bean sprouts?"
Jin Man looked at Lu Yanlin blankly. Lu Yanlin looked back at him, his eyelashes trembling. Besides cement dust, there were two big handprints on his white shirt left by the old lady's anger.
He apologized distressedly: "I said I would compensate her, but she didn't want it."
Jin Man looked at the old lady, who was very angry. He climbed down from the scaffolding to clean up the mess. When he passed by Lu Yanlin, he couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him: "Lu Yanlin, are you a pig?"
