The Tang family's dog was tied to the steps of Lu Baiwei's house, and kept barking at the place where Lu Jiaojiao was hiding.

Maybe the dog was too noisy, so He Yunqi came out with a bowl of food, picked up a bone and threw it to the dog.

It was not completely dark yet, and Lu Jiaojiao could even clearly see that the meat bones thrown on the ground were covered with a lot of meat.

Even the dog of the Tang family could gnaw on the bones with meat on them, but she couldn't even get a bite of the minced meat. She was filled with grief and her defenses were completely broken.

When He Yunqi finished feeding the dog and brought the bowl of food in, she ran out of the bamboo grove with tears streaming down her face. The cold wind blew and she shivered violently. She felt dizzy and fell on the stone bridge by the stream.

"Girl, girl, wake up quickly. It's so cold. Why are you lying on the bridge? You might freeze to death."

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Jiaojiao opened her eyes when she heard someone calling in her ear.

She must be dead!

How could she see someone who couldn't possibly be there?

This person should be in Hong Kong City!

Originally, she couldn't recognize what Yin Zhihe and her uncle looked like, because in his previous life, Yin Jiaming returned to his hometown in glory and said he wanted to develop the tourism industry in Xiangyang Brigade.

He brought an excavator to Xiangyang Village to build roads and bridges, and dug a tunnel from the back mountain of Yin's house into the mountains.

At that time, the county cadres accompanied Yin Jiaming back to his hometown, and all the people in the village ran to Yin's house to watch.

She was rescued from a mountain den after being abducted and sold. She had just returned to the village at that time and had watched Yin Jiaming, so she was deeply impressed.

But the face in front of her was obviously much younger than the Yin Jia she saw in her previous life.

"Uncle?"

Scenes from her previous life flashed through her mind, and Lu Jiaojiao couldn't help but scream out loud.

Yin Jiaming wanted to find someone to ask for directions, but when he saw Lu Jiaojiao lying on the side of the road, he squatted down to see what was going on.

The sudden call of "Uncle" stunned him.

"Girl, do you know where Yin Jiasheng lives now?"

The name Yin Jiasheng is unfamiliar.

Lu Jiaojiao's brain was frozen and she was a little confused.

She thought about it carefully. Wasn't that the name of her deceased father-in-law?

"I know, I am the daughter-in-law of the Yin family."

Lu Jiaojiao stumbled to her feet and said, "Uncle, I'll lead the way for you."

Yin Jiaming looked alert.

Lu Jiaojiao slapped her head.

That’s right!

She was the daughter-in-law of the Yin family, and she couldn't recognize someone who suddenly came back from Gangcheng.

After all, they had never met.

Lu Jiaojiao hurriedly explained: "Uncle, don't get me wrong. My man showed me your photo. I just thought I froze to death and went to hell. I remember what you look like in the photo. I called you to try."

Yin Jiaming: “…”

After hearing what Lu Jiaojiao said, Yin Jiaming breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily let down his guard.

He just thought that someone had set up a trap and was waiting for him here.

It seems that he was overthinking it.

Yin Jiaming had imagined that when he returned this time he would see the Yin family in decline, but he did not expect it to be so declined that his nephew married a woman who looked like a crazy woman.

It's getting dark soon.

Lu Jiaojiao led the way in front.

Yin Jiaming followed behind: "Why did you fall on the side of the road?"

"I'm so hungry that I fainted."

Lu Jiaojiao was very excited by Yin Jiaming's appearance.

In her previous life, she remembered that Yin Jiaming never came back halfway.

How come he quietly returned from Hong Kong before the reform and opening up?

After all, he is the one who escaped, and now is not the right time for him to come back.

Don't bring trouble to her family.

Lu Jiaojiao came to her senses and suddenly became more cautious.

"Uncle, why did you suddenly come back from Hong Kong?"

Yin Jiaming's expression froze, his eyes filled with vigilance again, and he even paused.

Lu Jiaojiao immediately explained: "I heard from Yin Zhihe that you might have gone to Hong Kong City."

"No, I didn't go to Hong Kong. In fact, I have been engaged in national geological research. Because I was working on a secret project in the west, I couldn't contact my family. I announced to the public that I went to Hong Kong during the turbulent period."

"In fact, I have been doing geological research in the country."

"Now that part of the project in the west has been completed, the government has given me a holiday. In recent years, mudslides have occurred too frequently in the province, so I, a geologist, was invited to investigate geological issues, so I went home to take a look."

"Next, I may have to stay at home for a while and conduct inspections and monitoring in the mountains near the Xiangyang Brigade."

Yin Jiaming was indeed dressed like a cadre, with a shiny pen in his shirt pocket.

Lu Jiaojiao had only seen county officials dressed like this.

When Lu Jiaojiao heard that he didn't come back from Hong Kong City, she looked disappointed.

Why isn’t he a wealthy man in Hong Kong?

Could it be that he only got rich after the reform and opening up and made his fortune in Hong Kong?

But no matter what, if he is paid by the government, he must have some cash on him.

Yin Jiaming only has Yin Zhi and a nephew. Will he support his nephew and sister-in-law?

Lu Jiaojiao then felt at ease to lead the person home. She opened the door and greeted Yin Jiaming.

"Uncle, please come in. This is our home now. Yin Zhihe and my mother-in-law have gone to visit relatives."

"Uncle, are you hungry?"

"Sit down for a while, I'll cook for you."

Hearing the shouts from the educated youth camp next door, Yin Jiaming asked Lu Jiaojiao: "Who lives in my original house now?"

"Oh, they are the educated youth who came to the countryside."

Lu Jiaojiao explained: "After you left home, your father-in-law donated his property to the government. The house next door had been empty before. The commune said it wanted to solve the housing problem for educated youth. In the future, the educated youth who went to the countryside would move here from the original educated youth site."

I don’t know where the things are hidden?

It was really difficult to deal with the original house now that someone was living there.

Yin Jiaming fell into deep thought, already thinking about how he could enter and exit the educated youth site next door in a natural way.

Lu Jiaojiao knew nothing about all this and was worrying about how to entertain Yin Jiaming.

Although the rice in the rice jar is almost gone, it is still enough for one or two meals. However, there is not enough food to entertain Uncle Yin who has not been home for a long time.

Lu Jiaojiao originally wanted to sneak into the chicken coop to see if the hens had laid eggs.

Maybe it's too cold and there are no eggs in the chicken coop.

She simply made up her mind and caught the chicken raised by her mother-in-law and killed it to treat Yin Jiaming.

Poor Lu Jiaojiao, finally, got to eat meat on New Year's Eve, although she didn't know how to explain to Shen Guixiang.

But if she didn't have a good meal, she was really afraid that she would starve to death.

So, no matter what, it is better to die with a full stomach than with a hungry stomach.

Yin Jiaming was also hungry.

He also wolfed down the whole chicken stewed by Lu Jiaojiao. The two of them even drank up all the chicken broth and burped while sitting at the table.

"Jiaojiao, right? You're a good cook."

Yin Jiaming took out a big unity ticket from his pocket and stuffed a few snack tickets into her pocket: "This is the New Year's money from your uncle."

Lu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, and she felt that killing the chicken was worth it.

In order not to appear too greedy, she pretended to refuse and then put the money away.

"Uncle, do you want me to boil some water for you to take a bath?"
