Chapter 125 Meeting the Parents
Lu Weijun, the accountant, usually records the work points for the villagers, and he really knows who is where.
He glanced at Shi Tingyu and knew that it must be his second sister-in-law who missed her parents, so he did not hide it, "They are on the land by the river ditch in the west. You know that land, right, second brother?"
"Yes, I know it." He knew the west river ditch.
Lu Weijun said again, "My father is also in a land not far from that land for the convenience of taking care of him. If you meet someone on the road and ask, just say you are going to see my father."
Lu Weiguo nodded, indicating that he understood.
Lu Weijun looked around again, and when he found no one, he whispered to the two of them, "Just watch from a distance, don't get close, if you want to meet, go at night."
Although their former West Brigade had not criticized anyone for a long time, they still had to be careful.
"Okay, I know my limits." Lu Weiguo was very pleased with his cousin's attentiveness.
Shi Tingyu also thanked Lu Weijun.
Lu Weijun scratched his head and said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, what are you talking about? We are all family. Uncle and aunt have never suffered much on weekdays, and we have never criticized them, so you just watch them later, and you must control yourself."
Shi Tingyu nodded, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The words spoken by Lu Weijun made her feel more real than the vague report of safety in the letter.
After bidding farewell to Lu Weijun, Lu Weiguo took Shi Tingyu to the direction of Xihegou.
As expected, on the way to the fields, people working in the fields often greeted them from a distance.
The people in the brigade were warm and enthusiastic, and they always asked a few questions when they saw a child who had not been home for a long time.
When they heard Lu Weiguo say that he wanted to go and see Uncle Lu, everyone nodded.
"He hasn't been back for a long time, we have to go and see him."
A kind villager said, "Weiguo, do you know the place? Just go west, and it's almost Xihegou."
Lu Weiguo thanked the villagers and continued to walk west with Shi Tingyu.
As soon as they passed by, villagers started talking in groups of three or four.
They worked and chatted at the same time, without interrupting their hands or mouths.
"Did you see clearly just now? Weiguo's wife has a very white face."
"Yes, I say you can't find one as pretty as her in the whole town."
"Who said it was difficult for Weiguo to find a wife before?"
"I never said that. Weiguo definitely didn't like the girls in the village. Look, he has found such a beautiful wife now." The reason why
Lu Weiguo came to his hometown to find a blind date was that he failed to find a girl in the town.
There happened to be a few high school students in the village, so the matchmaker introduced them.
The Lu family is a good matchmaker, and the girl's parents agreed to the matchmaking. The girl had no choice but to come and see.
They had met the man from the same village when they were young. They thought that since they hadn't seen him for nearly ten years, he might have gotten better. But after meeting him, they found that not only was his aura more frightening, but
he also had a scar on his face. They immediately disagreed. The Lu family was used to this kind of result and didn't force it. To be frank, their Weiguo just looked fierce, and his other qualities were far better than these people. They didn't like such people who only cared about appearance.
If it was just a failed blind date, it would be fine. But Grandpa Lu had an older brother who looked a lot like Grandpa Lu. Finally, Grandpa Lu's grandson Lu Jianshe also inherited some of this facial features. Although he was a little different from Lu Weiguo, he was not good-looking either.
The most important thing is that Lu Jianshe is not as promising as the grandchildren of Lu Erye. He is just a farmer who makes a living. He is already 32 years old and still unmarried.
With this example, everyone said that it was difficult for Lu Weiguo to find a wife, but they were not as sure as they said about Lu Jianshe. After all, Lu Weiguo was still a military officer.
Lu Weiguo didn't know the gossip about him in the village. They soon saw the figure of Lu Ershu turning the land.
He shouted to Lu Erming, "Second Uncle!"
Lu Erming looked up and saw the two people at the end of the field. He put down the hoe and came over.
Looking at the eldest nephew in front of him and his niece-in-law beside him, his face was full of relief. To be honest, when Lu Weiguo's marriage was first arranged, it was not only his eldest brother's family who were worried, but he was also anxious.
Now that he saw that he not only got married, but also married such a good-looking one, he felt somewhat relieved.
Knowing that the two of them came most likely to see the two people in the cowshed, he didn't talk to them much. He pointed in the direction of Shi's father and mother implicitly.
"The in-laws are over there."
Shi Tingyu looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a couple in tattered clothes concentrating on tilling the land.
They were almost integrated with the land, not out of place, but Shi Tingyu couldn't help crying.
Perhaps the original owner's memory was also affected. At this moment, looking at the figures of his parents working hunched over, Shi Tingyu couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
They used to get staggeringly high wages a month, and every day they were doing various experiments and data, which was very different from the current methodical labor in the fields.
Lu Weiguo quickly blocked Shi Tingyu's sight and quietly wiped her tears.
Shi Tingyu tried to keep smiling.
Uncle Lu was also quite sad to see this, and he whispered: "Don't worry, niece-in-law, your parents are fine, they are in good health. Many educated youth who went to the countryside would get sick, but your parents are not, don't worry." Shi Tingyu
took a deep breath, softened her expression, and looked at the two people working again.
If it was an unrelated person who was sent down, Shi's father and mother should be digging a river at this time, and it was the most tiring process.
Being able to work in the fields now is already considered an easy task, even though the land near the West River Ditch is more difficult to plow than ordinary land.
This is the result of the Lu family's secret help.
Perhaps because Shi Tingyu's eyes were too eager, Shi's father and mother, who were originally bending over to work, suddenly raised their heads and looked in her direction.
When they saw the figures of Lu Weiguo and Shi Tingyu, they both widened their eyes in disbelief.
Shi's mother even put down the hoe and subconsciously ran forward two steps.
Fortunately, Shi's father reacted and quickly grabbed Shi's mother.
Father Shi was shaking a little when he held Mother Shi's hand. Even though they couldn't see their faces clearly from a distance, they still recognized their daughter at a glance.
After the in-laws sent a message saying that the young couple would come back for the New Year, they were looking forward to this day, but they didn't expect that this day would come so suddenly.
Mother Shi's originally gentle face was now soaked with tears. She had never shed a tear no matter how hard or tired she was sent here, but now she couldn't control herself when she saw her daughter from a distance.
"Let's pretend we don't know each other now, and don't cause trouble for Xiaoyu and the others." Father Shi said in a trembling voice.
Mother Shi wiped her tears quickly, picked up the hoe again and started working. She no longer looked in the direction of Shi Tingyu and the others. Only the water drops that fell into the soil and disappeared in an instant showed her unrest.
Shi Tingyu just looked at them. She saw Mother Shi's reaction just now, and she knew that they saw her.
It's just that relatives don't dare to recognize each other when they meet.
Lu Weiguo watched but couldn't help.
Second Uncle Lu sighed and looked at the sky. They have been living like this for almost ten years. I don't know when it will end.
