Chapter 123: Visiting the
hometown Seeing her interest, Lu Weiguo continued to explain to her, "The task of turning the soil is limited, but there are other jobs to do. The wheat grass needs to be weeded, the farm manure needs to be carried to the fields, the farm ditches need to be weeded and silted, the roads need to be repaired, and the small water conservancy needs to be reinforced and de-risked. Basically, we can only rest until New Year's Eve."
Shi Tingyu couldn't help but sigh at the difficulty of farmers. As a teacher, she has one day off a week, and winter and summer vacations.
If she had really been sent down with her parents or came to the countryside as an educated youth, she really didn't know if she could stick to it.
Seeing her fearful expression, Lu Weiguo seemed to think of her situation before they got married.
Not to mention that she was a pretty and a little bit coquettish girl, the male educated youths who went to the countryside from the city couldn't stand it when they first arrived.
But there was no other way. In order to get enough food, they had to work hard.
After a long time, they became familiar with the work in the fields and gradually adapted to it, but this process was not easy.
So once the village recruited teachers and other jobs, many people would fight for it.
The jeep was unusually tall. In the former West Brigade, at most a tractor production team was seen, which was no less than seeing a helicopter in the old community in later generations. A lot of people looked over here.
Some children who were playing crazy on the road saw it, chasing and playing behind the car.
Some children ran beside the car, and they were scared when they heard the rain.
Lu Weiguo shouted to the children around him, "Make way, don't get too close, don't crush us."
Lu Weiguo's face was very lethal to the children. When he stuck his head out of the car window, many children ran away. However, some older children had seen Lu Weiguo when he came back, and they timidly called him "Second Brother Lu" or "Second Uncle Lu".
There were also some clever children who ran directly to Grandpa Lu's house and told him and his wife that their grandson who was in the army had returned.
The car drove slowly after entering the team, and when they arrived at the door of the grandpa's house, Grandpa Lu Shijin and his wife had already come out.
The grandpa saw the car parked at the door and looked into the car.
Seeing this fierce-looking old man, Shi Tingyu glanced at Lu Weiguo, and finally knew where the Lu family's appearance came from.
She looked at the old man's earnest face, smiled and called someone, "Grandpa!"
Old man Lu saw the little girl sitting in the car at a glance. She was fair and pretty, and knew in his heart that this must be the grandson's wife brought back by his grandson.
The old man rarely smiled, and nodded vigorously.
Shi Tingyu saw the old lady who was trying to squeeze in here, and called her grandma.
The old lady smiled lovingly and kept saying that it must be frozen, and she should go into the house to warm up.
Lu Weiguo got out of the car and called someone, and then took the things for the two elders.
Shi Tingyu got out of the car and took the sword down.
She led the dog, which scared the children who gathered around.
Seeing that the children had retreated to a safe distance and were still staring at it, Li Jian bared his teeth at them, causing the children to scream.
Shi Tingyu rubbed its head, "Don't be naughty."
Li Jian gulped twice, rubbed Shi Tingyu's hand, and obediently stopped scaring people.
The old man and the old lady saw it, and they all looked surprised.
"This dog understands human nature." The old man said.
Li Jian tilted his head to look at the old man. Perhaps it was because of the similar eyebrows and eyes with Lu Weiguo that Li Jian had a good impression of the old man. He also felt the closeness of his master to the two old people. He slowly approached the old man and the old lady, wagging his tail to show his goodwill.
The old man was quite courageous. He reached out and touched Li Jian's head with a happy look on his face.
Lu Weiguo carried things and called for people to hurry in.
Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu also reacted and took Shi Tingyu into the house.
The children outside were circling around the jeep, but they also knew that the car was a valuable item and they dared not touch it easily.
Some older children were staring at Shi Tingyu's back in a daze.
The girl brought by Second Brother/Uncle Lu was so pretty, prettier than the female educated youth from the city.
When these children returned home, many people knew that Lu Weiguo had returned with a beautiful girl.
When they heard from Grandpa Lu that Lu Weiguo was married, they didn't believe it. After all, when Lu Weiguo just came back from the battlefield, he had been looking for a wife in the village, but none of them worked out.
Unexpectedly, he really brought a wife back this time, and she was a very beautiful one.
For a moment, the curious old lady looked into the yard of the old Lu family.
But the man had already entered the house, and they didn't even see a hair.
In Grandpa Lu's house, Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo had already been arranged by the two elders to sleep on the kang.
It can be said that the housing conditions in the countryside are good, with a large space and a kang. Shi Tingyu felt warm all over when he just walked in.
The old lady fumbled in an old mahogany box in the room and took out a can of peaches.
"Come on, Wei Guoguo, have a can of peaches to sweeten your mouth."
Shi Tingyu looked at the canned peaches and was really greedy. "Thank you, grandma."
The old lady was gradually lost in this sweet call of grandma.
It's good for a girl to be pretty. Even if the other party does nothing, she can stare at her for a long time.
Lu Weiguo helped Shi Tingyu open the lid of the canned peaches and found her a pair of chopsticks.
Shi Tingyu greeted everyone first, and seeing that everyone smiled and said they didn't want to eat it, she shamelessly enjoyed it alone.
This canned peach is refreshing and sweet with a full peach flavor, it's so delicious that she can't stop.
But in the end, she still thought about Lu Weiguo and shared a few pieces with him.
Lu Weiguo said he didn't want to eat it, but he ate it all when his wife fed it to him.
The old lady looked at them and winked at Old Man Lu.
Look, old man, the couple has such a good relationship.
Old Man Lu was also very pleased. His grandson's marriage was almost a source of worry for him.
His grandson was so good, but the villagers said he was a fierce and evil spirit.
Now, not only is his grandson married, he also found such a good wife. Seeing how his grandson's wife treats his grandson, he knows that the two of them will be close in the future.
At this time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was still too conservative in dealing with his in-laws and should take more care of them.
After eating to his heart's content, Shi Tingyu slumped on the kang, feeling lazy.
Lu Weiguo didn't forget to bring things for the two elders. He gave them hats and cotton shoes to try on.
The two elders were so happy that they couldn't help but praise their grandson's wife for her good taste.
Shi Tingyu smiled and said, "Weiguo also cares about you. The sizes were all told to me by Weiguo."
The old man and the old lady felt more relieved. He
kept saying, "All is well, all is well."
Seeing that it was still early, Lu Weiguo knew that he could not go to see his parents now, so he thought about cleaning up his old house.
When Lu Daming and Lu Erming got married, they were each allocated a residential plot, and the two residential plots were next to each other. Both
Lu Daming and Lu Erming had good family conditions, and they both built large houses with blue bricks and tiles.
But later, Lu Daming and his wife passed the examination to become workers in the steel plant and the textile factory. They started running back and forth in the town’s brigade, and later they were allocated a house when they were old enough, and then they settled down in the town, and the house in the brigade became empty.
