Chapter 59 Borrowing Lu Yao's Light
"Little Ji, the educated youth is back. Have fun in the city these few days, okay? The cantaloupes at my aunt's house are ripe. I'll ask my son Shuanzi to send you a few later!"
"No need, Ma's wife. Leave the cantaloupe for Shuanzi and Tiezi!"
"You're welcome, young educated youth! That's enough. It's settled. I'll go pick them now and bring them to you later!"
Mrs. Ma wiped the laundry water on her hands on her apron, picked up a vegetable basket, and went to the backyard of her house!
Before Wanru could come to her senses, the young aunt who was working in the yard heard the noise and poked her head out from behind the garden stick!
"Little Ji Zhiqing, I heard that you and Lu Yao are engaged, is that true?"
"Yes! We...are engaged! Auntie!"
Her cheeks were red. What happened during the past few days when she was not in the village? Why were the villagers so enthusiastic when they saw her?
"Oh, congratulations! From now on, you are half a member of our Sikanz Brigade! Lu Yao has a lot of things to do. If there is anything I can't take care of you, don't hesitate to come and find your aunt!"
"You can find your uncle, too!"
The man next to him was not good at speaking, so he just followed suit and rubbed his lips!
Lu Yao was the benefactor of their Sikanzi Brigade. Because of the scar on his face and the shocking image of Lu Yao slashing people with a knife when refugees entered the village that year, most villagers were grateful and wanted to express their friendship and get closer to him, but they didn't dare to approach him when they saw his face!
As for Grandma Lu, they can only help when Lu Yao is not around, which means fetching water!
Now, Lu Yao is engaged!
The target is still the educated youth Xiao Ji!
The educated youth have been in the village for two months now, and they have a pretty good idea of who is who and what kind of person he is!
Little Ji, the educated youth, was pretty, kind-hearted and had a good personality. If Lu Yao hadn't labeled her early on, who knows how many young men would have been interested in her!
Now that their status is set in stone and they are confirmed to be members of the old Lu family, if they want to express their goodwill, they can just show it to the young educated youth Ji!
"Come here, my tomatoes are sandy, sour and sweet, and delicious. If you don't mind, take some home to try!"
Having said that, she ran out from the courtyard gate and stuffed the tomatoes that her master had just picked into Wanru's arms!
In this era, due to the backward transportation, few fruits from the south can be shipped to the north, especially in summer, when most of the local seasonal fruits are not yet ripe. Farmers grow their own tomatoes, which become a substitute for fruits and are very popular among people!
Especially in the city, if you visit someone's home and the host serves you two washed tomatoes as a treat, that's considered a high standard!
Therefore, just after coming down the mountain, Wanru deliberately separated from Lu Yao and enjoyed the unprecedented enthusiasm of the villagers!
She harvested a lot of fruits and vegetables from the educated youth point at the entrance of the village. On the way, she could hardly carry them all. A kind-hearted sister-in-law even gave her a vegetable basket woven from willow branches as a gift!
"Wanru! I found a problem. Maybe you are the protagonist!"
Hearing the noise, Xiao Bei, who was standing at the entrance of the educated youth site and witnessing everything, helped Wanru carry the stuffed and heavy vegetable basket into the kitchen, and suddenly something came to his mind!
As if in a cloud of fog: "Boiled fern? What boiled fern? Xiaobei, do you want to eat fern?"
"The protagonist, just like the movie I showed you last time, Yang Zirong in it, that's the protagonist, the main character in a book or movie!"
Xiao Bei touched his chin and looked at it carefully. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was right. It was probably the protagonist of the group's favorite novel!
"That has nothing to do with me. The villagers like me because of Lu Yao. I can still tell that!"
Along the way, the name she heard most often from the enthusiastic villagers was Lu Yao. She had heard the legend of Lu Yao!
I just didn't expect that the villagers would like him so much. Before, the villagers didn't dare to talk to him!
