Luo Jingyan was unaware of her parents' situation, and she wanted to go and check on them, and also bring them some eggs.
However, since others had just discovered their relationship, she couldn't openly go to the cowshed. Now that her space had been upgraded, after Luo Changtian fell asleep, she used the space's teleportation and invisibility functions to go directly from her room to the outside of the cowshed. She only came out after seeing that no one was around in the space.
Seeing that the lights were still on in her parents' room, she knocked on the door of the cowshed.
Inside the house, Mr. and Mrs. Luo were still awake. They heard a knock on the door, and Mrs. Luo said, "Is the child here? Go and see him."
"I think so. Otherwise, no one would come here so late. It's probably just another egg delivery guy."
Mr. Luo went outside and opened the door, and sure enough, it was Luo Jingyan.
"Child, why are you so late? Come in quickly."
After Luo Jingyan went inside, her father immediately locked the door, and the two of them went into the house together.
Luo Jingyan handed a bag of eggs to her father, saying, "Dad, these are for you."
Mr. Luo: "..." They really came to deliver eggs.
He put the eggs aside and said, "Daughter, now many people in the village know about our relationship. I hope the villagers and village officials haven't given you and Xiaotian any trouble."
"Dad, Mom. I came here today to talk to you about this. So far, they seem to be the same as before; I haven't noticed anything unusual. But what about you two? Have they done anything to you?"
When this was mentioned, Mr. and Mrs. Luo smiled together.
Mother Luo said, "Not only did they not treat us badly, they treated us even better than before. You don't know, someone even went over to help us with the work today, and someone even brought us eggs tonight, but we didn't take them."
"Is that so?" Luo Jingyan was very surprised: "It only happened today. It didn't happen before? Before, most people in the village avoided us and didn't want to talk to us. We were lucky if they didn't give us the cold shoulder."
"Yes, those two men said they found out about our relationship and wanted to help us out of gratitude. The woman who gave us the eggs was also there because of you. Girl, they said you helped them make money brewing sorghum liquor, and they're grateful to you."
Luo Jingyan now understood. It seemed that her decision to do things for the villagers was indeed a wise one. It benefited both herself and others, helping the villagers escape poverty and ensuring that her parents were treated well by the villagers. She felt very comforted.
Mr. Luo said, "Jingyan, if you can do good deeds for the village, the villagers will definitely not treat us badly. There are still many people in this world who know how to repay kindness. It's just that your father and mother didn't know when you learned to brew wine. They said your brewing skills are quite good."
When Luo Jingyan was preparing to brew wine, she was already prepared for her parents to find out one day, and she had prepared her explanation in advance.
"Dad, Mom. Actually, I learned how to brew wine after I went to the countryside. One time, I went to a recycling station to find newspapers to paste on the walls. I accidentally saw a book about brewing techniques. Because my dad loves to drink, I paid special attention to it and picked it up to read some of the contents. I found that it contained many ancient recipes for brewing, some of which were even used in the imperial palace to brew royal wine. Such a book is a treasure, so I bought it."
When we first arrived here, Xiaotian had to go to school in the fall. But we were all educated youth, and we were afraid that the school would investigate our family backgrounds. So I wanted to get on good terms with the village officials and ask them to help me out. At the time, I didn't know if giving gifts was feasible, since we were in the midst of a rectification campaign and there were people everywhere supervising each other.
It just so happens that most of the fields in this brigade are planted with sweet sorghum, which can be used for brewing. When the sorghum was being harvested, I mentioned the brewing to the brigade leader. He took it very seriously and opened the collective distillery as soon as spring began.
I used an ancient recipe from that book, and with the help of experienced brewers in this village, the distillery is doing quite well.
"Oh, I see."
“Dad, Mom. I figured you two didn’t interact with the people in the village anyway, so I didn’t tell you. I didn’t think too much about it at the time. I never expected that our relationship would have such an effect after it was discovered.”
"Daughter, we were worried that if our relationship were exposed, it would cause trouble for you and Xiaotian. Who would have thought that we two old folks would get involved?" Mr. Luo sighed.
"This is what they call good deeds being rewarded. I just never expected that my daughter's good deed would be rewarded in our own way," Mrs. Luo said with a smile.
Luo Jingyan hugged her mother: "Dad, Mom. As long as you are doing well and happy, that's what I want to see most, and that's what I've received in return."
"So, from now on, when you come here, you won't have to worry about being discovered by others anymore, and we can come looking for you too?" Luo's mother asked.
When she misses her child, she no longer has to wait for the child to come to her; she can take the initiative to see the child herself.
Luo Jingyan said, "Mom, don't worry. Only a few people know about our relationship yet. Let's see how things go and talk about it in a few days. I wonder what the village officials will think when they find out."
"That squad leader is much nicer to us now than before. He used to have a deadpan expression when he saw us, but now he smiles."
"real."
"yes."
"If that's the case, it means that the attitudes of the villagers and officials here towards you have changed for the better, which proves that the overall situation is developing in a positive direction. Dad, Mom, it seems that our family won't have to sneak around anymore if we want to reunite in the future."
