Chapter 166 Go to the City to Find Uncle Xu
This is Lu Wan.
Su Zhenhua took a short rest and went out to work the next day.
Su Jinmei didn't go to work in the afternoon, but came to Lu Wan's place to study for a while.
Su Jinmei is not only gifted, but also very hardworking, which is really rare.
After finishing the study, Su Jinmei and Lu Wan chatted for a while.
She was eager to be admitted to the art troupe, so that her mother would not have to worry about her and life at home would get better and better.
In the past few days, Su Changde has been worried about the brigade's affairs.
From what Su Jinmei said, she wondered if Su Changde had offended the commune, as the commune had been holding onto a batch of fertilizers and refusing to allocate them.
Without chemical fertilizers, crops cannot be fertilized, which will definitely affect the grain harvest.
If the grain production drops sharply, he will not only be criticized by his superiors, but also blamed by people in the commune for not doing his job well as the team leader.
Su Changde went to the commune many times for this purpose and even went to find the secretary.
But the final result was that the fertilizer was not allocated and the secretary refused to see him.
Su Jinmei thought that if she was admitted to the art troupe, her mother could retire at home and wouldn't have to worry so much.
Everyone just needs to do their job as a production team well, and there is nothing else to worry about.
After hearing what Su Jinmei said, Lu Wan felt that the commune seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for Su Changde.
And this matter was implicated by her.
After all, she is Su Changde's niece-in-law. If Secretary Wang does a little investigation, he can easily find out that she is related to the captain's family.
Thinking of this situation, Lu Wan couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
If she had not offended Secretary Wang, this would not have implicated her uncle.
It now seems that overthrowing Secretary Wang is inevitable.
So when Su Zhenhua came back, Lu Wan told Su Zhenhua about her plan to go to the city.
However, Lu Wan did not mention what Wang Wei had done to her. She only said that Secretary Wang was too arrogant and overbearing, and oppressed the people.
Su Zhenhua unconditionally supports anything Lu Wan wants to do as long as it does not harm her safety.
So the couple agreed to drive directly to the city the next day.
It's the weekend, and municipal offices should also be on holiday.
This was the first time Lu Wan visited in person. She had only written letters before but had never met him in person.
This was Lu Wan's first time going to someone's house, and she had something to ask for help, so she definitely didn't go there empty-handed.
So, together with Su Zhenhua, he went to the department store in the city and bought some gifts to take with him.
Lu Wan bought two packs of Daqianmen, two bottles of white wine, a pound of fruit candy, a pound of egg cakes, and a can of malted milk.
These gifts are not shabby no matter where you get them in this year.
After buying the gifts, Lu Wan went to the address.
This old friend of Lu Jun’s is named Xu Cheng.
After finding the direction, Lu Wan knocked on the door.
After a while, a middle-aged man came out, who looked a little older than the army officer.
When the man saw Lu Wan, a kind smile suddenly appeared on his face, "You are Lu Wan, right?"
Lu Wan looked at the man in front of her in surprise, "Are you Uncle Xu?"
“Yeah, that’s right!”
"You've never seen me before, but you know me?"
Xu Cheng laughed and said, "I have never seen you in person, but I have seen your photos!
At that time, your father showed off your photo in front of me, saying how beautiful you were!
It’s better to meet her in person than to hear about her. She is indeed a pretty girl!
Dad, if you had told me earlier, I would have introduced my boy to you!
When he showed me the photo, you were about to get married, you were a step too late! ”
The smile on Xu Cheng's face was easy-going and amiable.
After being told this by Xu Cheng, Lu Wan's cheeks turned slightly red for a moment, and she felt quite embarrassed.
Su Zhenhua on the side was secretly thankful that he had married Lu Wan first, otherwise, with such good conditions as his young wife, who knows how many people would be interested in her.
"Is this your lover?" Soon, Xu Cheng saw Su Zhenhua following behind Lu Wan.
Lu Wan nodded in response, and then introduced, "Uncle Xu, this is my wife, Su Zhenhua!"
Su Zhenhua also greeted Xu Cheng very politely, "Uncle Xu, hello!"
Xu Cheng smiled and replied, "Hello!"
Then Xu Cheng looked Su Zhenhua up and down, and said with admiration, "Not bad, no wonder you like him, girl. He's tall and strong, and handsome. The two of you standing together are really a perfect match, much better than my boy."
While speaking, Xu Cheng invited the two men to come into the house and sit down, and asked his wife to bring them tea.
Aunt Xu was also a hospitable person. Seeing that someone had come to her house, she took out some brown sugar and made a cup of brown sugar water for Lu Wan and Su Zhenhua respectively.
This year, serving brown sugar water to entertain guests shows that the guests are valued.
Lu Wan and Su Zhenhua both expressed their gratitude.
Lu Wan handed the gifts she brought to Xu Cheng and his wife.
Seeing Lu Wan bringing the gift over, Xu Cheng hurriedly said, "Girl, just come to my house to play, why bring anything? That's too polite!"
"Uncle Xu, you helped me last time, so I'm here to thank you today. I can't come empty-handed!"
"Girl, your father and I have known each other for so many years. We are not strangers. It's nothing for me to help you with a little thing. You don't need to come here specially to thank me!
When I was in college, I was roommates with your dad. My family was poor, but his family was well-off.
He used to take me out for free food and drinks, and also gave me a lot of clothes!
Uncle Xu keeps all these kindnesses in his heart!
You are his only daughter, and you are away from home alone. As your elder, I must help you more. ”
Lu Jun never told Lu Wan about his relationship with Xu Cheng.
Now hearing what Xu Cheng said, the relationship between the two is indeed unusual.
After years of getting along in college, and Lu Jun taking care of Xu Cheng in various ways, it was natural that he would not refuse to help him.
That's fine.
She still had to ask Xu Cheng for help. If she didn't have the right connections, she would be too embarrassed to ask for help.
Even if she came in person, people would not be willing to help if she didn't have the right connections.
"Uncle Xu, I came here today because I have something else to trouble you with."
Xu Cheng agreed readily, "Girl, if you have any problem, just tell me. As long as Uncle Xu can do it, he will definitely help you!"
Lu Wan then mentioned Secretary Wang's situation.
After hearing Lu Wan's words, Xu Cheng frowned. He never expected that a small commune secretary could be so rampant.
Xu Cheng said, "Girl, Uncle Xu will ask someone to investigate this matter later.
If what you said is true, this man must be brought to justice.
We must not let such a cancer go unpunished and infringe upon the interests of the general public. Such scum must be eliminated from our revolutionary ranks! ”
