Chapter 11: Blind Excitement
"When I came here, I had no intention of going back. Who knew, who knew working in the countryside would be like this?"
She doesn't make any sound when she cries, but when she does she can't speak clearly.
Lu Dongping raised his eyebrows: "What did you do before? Nothing?"
"I, I go to school. I have to take classes, dance, play the piano, and learn to make clothes. I'm pretty busy too."
Xu Ruyin was a lady from a prominent family, so her daughter was naturally raised to high standards.
Lu Dongping was shocked. What a sin! Such a little ancestor actually came here. He was so willful.
By the time I sent the person back to the educated youth site, it was already dark, the warehouse was locked, and the farm tools were no longer available, so I had to take them back and tell Lu Minghai about it.
I just got home and before I could go to Lu Minghai's place, Zhang Hongying called me and said, "Why are you back just now? Haven't you returned the pickaxe yet?"
"We were delayed for a while. The warehouse is locked. I'll go tell my uncle and ask my father to carry it to the mountain tomorrow and return it after work." After saying that, he put the pickaxe into the house and went to Lu Minghai's place. He had to have another meal.
However, he had been used to being bullied by Lu Minghai since he was a child, and he was thick-skinned and didn't care.
Gao Xiulan asked, "Did the young educated youth go back?"
Lu Dongping nodded: "Let's go back. I fell pretty hard on the way. I probably won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."
Lu Minghai's face became even uglier. Just as he was about to argue again, Gao Xiulan pulled him back.
Lu Dongping said something to him and went back to his own home. After he left, Gao Xiulan said, "Really? Why are you complaining so much? Dongping is not a child anymore. You are his uncle, not his father. Don't argue all day long without knowing what's going on. The third brother and his wife will hate you later."
Lu Minghai sighed: "You think I want to quarrel, but I am just angry at him. I am still doing something. What kind of vision is this?"
Gao Xiulan carried some firewood from the yard and headed for the kitchen, saying as she walked, "What kind of taste? I think he has good taste!" Nine out of ten, he's got his eye on that young educated youth. That scumbag brat, I've never seen him be so patient with anyone in his life. Just like a dog can't stop eating shit, men, from the time they wear crotchless pants to the time they lose their teeth, like beautiful women.
After Lu Dongping finished talking to Lu Minghai, he returned to his own home. As soon as he entered, he heard Zhang Hongying complaining: "You can't even do your own work, and you still have to take care of such a weak educated youth. Are you crazy?"
Lu Dongping walked into the room, raised an eyebrow and said, "We'll be on the production team from now on, so what's wrong with helping out? People from the city have never worked before, so it's not normal to feel uncomfortable on the first day. Why are you complaining so much?"
Zhang Hongying knocked the spatula against the edge of the pot. "I can't help but say something to you. What's wrong with being a member of a production team? Can she provide you with food or give you work points? You can't even take care of your own family, yet you're still taking care of others. The people in the production team will gossip about you behind your back."
Lu Dongping snorted coldly: "You can talk about it all you want, just don't let me hear it. What family or others? At worst, I can turn the young educated youth into my own family..."
"What did you say, you little brat? Say it again?" Lu Mingjiang heard that sentence the moment he stepped into the kitchen. The anger he had suppressed all day suddenly surged up: "What are you doing at the commune every day? Are you as stupid as a pig? How can you become a member of the family when you can't even carry anything? Don't even think about it!"
Lu Dongping was stunned for a moment. Why did he speak without thinking and blurt out the wrong thing?
"No, I just said that, is it that serious? Look at you, you look down on me. She's from a big city, educated, can sing and dance, and she's interested in a country bumpkin like me? Look how excited you are."
How can I not be excited?
Lu Mingjiang has three children, Lu Dongping is the eldest, and he is 23 years old but still unwilling to date.
Zhang Hongying asked people in her team and other production teams to introduce several candidates to him, but he didn't like any of them.
Suddenly I became interested in this little educated youth.
Don't even mention the bullshit that comes from Tu Luzui. He doesn't believe a single word of it. He knows his own children, and this son of a bitch must have some feelings for her.
Lu Mingjiang slowed down, sat down at the table and said, "Anyway, let me tell you this. You're not young anymore, it's time to find a partner, but that young educated youth today is definitely not suitable. When you're looking for a partner, you need to find someone who can handle life, not just someone with a pretty face. If she can't work and doesn't know how to do anything, why would you marry her and make her your ancestor? What's the point of having good looks? Can good looks only help with food?"
Lu Dongping said, "I don't know if good looks can go along with food, but I know that an ugly partner will definitely affect your appetite. If the young educated youth can't do it, then how about Zhou Erniu from the east end of the village? Can I bring myself to do that to you? I don't even know if I'm looking for a partner or you're looking for one, why are you so excited?"
"You idiot, tell me that again?" Lu Mingjiang pulled off his shoes and slammed them into Lu Dongping's face.
There was no way Lu Dongping would just sit there and get hit by his stinky shoes. He got up and ran away quickly.
