Chapter 299 Sour Orange

"That's easy."

Lu Tianlei is used to doing this and is very familiar with it.

In fact, it is not difficult to do these things as long as you don't think about making money. The difficult part is to restrain your own desires and benefit the majority of members.

Lu Tianlei would understand, of course, but as a grassroots cadre, he would be worried as he watched his children change day by day and the lives of every household gradually changed.

It was Huang Xinran's words that made him find his true self.

"Okay, I know what to do."

Since the daughter-in-law said so, it means that this is also Yun Chen's intention. As long as Yun Chen is promoted step by step, their Lu family will get better and better.

What does the old saying go?

It is not the father's generation that is strong, it is the children and grandchildren that are strong. Even though the father's generation has worked hard all his life, it is not as much as the promising children and grandchildren who can earn more with just a few words.

Lu Tianlei had a plan in mind, so he changed the subject and asked about Huang Xinran's work situation.

"It's already done. I'll leave for H Province tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Yaya and Maomao are both in school, and my mom and I are both busy and can't leave. Plus, Lu Yunqian is here too, so..."

When his little girl was mentioned, Lu Tianlei's heart moved.

"What's the situation with Xixi? Your mother didn't explain it clearly on the phone."

"What else could it be? That's just the way it is..."

Huang Xinran repeated the news that was not convenient to say on the phone. At the end, he emphasized the reason why Lu Yunqian refused to come back when the three cowboys came back with him.

"She is already six months pregnant, so she is naturally hiding outside and not daring to come back for the second child. But from what I heard from my brother-in-law, he is probably wavering on whether to keep the child or not. In the end, it depends on them."

As the fourth sister-in-law from her natal family, and a sister-in-law with whom she had grudges, she had nothing to say no matter what.

"The family planning policy is becoming stricter every year. I am the secretary of the commune. I cannot watch my daughter knowingly get pregnant with a second child. So, ask your brother-in-law. If you can avoid it, try not to..."

Didn’t the fourth daughter-in-law fail to deliver the baby in her belly?

Besides, Lu Yunqian already has a son, so it doesn’t really matter whether she has a second child or not.

"Dad, this is useless to you and me. You also know that Lu Yunqian won't listen to me." Huang Xinran smiled bitterly.

"It's not that it's inconvenient..."

If people knew that he knowingly violated the law and obstructed the implementation of family planning, who knows what would happen to those who have long disliked him.

"I'll just mention it to Yun Chen at most."

"Okay, fourth daughter-in-law, Dad knows you've suffered these years. You're sensible and virtuous. It's a blessing for Yun Chen to marry you."

"Dad, I would be proud if you praised me."

Huang Xinran was also amused.

This caused Lu Tianlei to praise her again and again.

Huang Xinran was so embarrassed by the exaggeration. The two specialists who had just gone out for a walk came back and escaped the embarrassing situation by eating some fruit.

The fruits the two experts brought back were local oranges that had just turned slightly yellow.

Don’t be fooled by the attractive appearance of this fruit, it tastes very sour!

The two experts had obviously never eaten this local fruit before. They handed it to Huang Xinran with a smile and enthusiastically invited her to eat it: "I just saw it while strolling around. The trees are full of this fruit. This was given to me by the villagers. Researcher Huang, please eat it!"

"Okay, you guys eat too."

Huang Xinran took the orange and squeezed it gently in his hand, but did not peel it.

On the contrary, the two experts had been wanting to eat it for a long time, so they took out a big one, peeled it and started to eat. The next moment, it was so sour that they grimaced and shook their heads continuously.

"Squeak! My teeth are so sore..."

"Your teeth are nothing. My cheeks are sore. Oh my god, I don't think I'll feel like eating meat tonight."

"I'm almost there..."

"Researcher Huang, why don't you eat?"

"Guess why I don't eat?"

Huang laughed happily.

This orange is sour. Even though it has turned completely yellow, it is still sour that it makes your teeth ache. Who says it is not the season for oranges to be fully ripe yet?

Counting the days, it will take another half a month to a month for the oranges to become sweet.

However, she didn't hesitate and slowly peeled one, tore a petal and put it in her mouth. The familiar sour taste quickly filled her mouth.

"Sh ...

Isn’t this the sour taste of oranges?

This fruit with a strong sour taste is particularly prominent in their local area. Once it is grown in other places, it tastes different, with less sourness and more sweetness. It is probably like "Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, and those grown in the north of the Huai River are bitter oranges."

After eating a sour orange, no one wants to eat a second one.

The two specialists also told her about what they saw and heard after they went out, and even mentioned that someone had asked them about her.

"They knew we were guests at your house and asked us about our identities. We said we were experts sent by the research institute to assist you in your research. But they all looked weird. We didn't know why."

"Oh, well... just ignore them."

Huang Xinran understood that although the mountains and rivers of his hometown were beautiful, the only thing that was not beautiful was probably the people in his hometown.

Everything in the countryside is good, except that people's hearts are not right. They despise you for being poor and fear you for being rich. They say one thing to one person and another to another. They are not well educated, but they have many tricks. They gather in groups of three or five, gossiping about other people and talking about the good and bad of others.

She had seen through it in her previous life.

While the three of them were talking, someone came outside the door.

"My niece-in-law is at home."

The people who came were from the production team. She followed the order to call the two men uncles and uncles, and smiled happily as she entered the yard, her eyes frequently scanning between Huang Xinran and the two specialists.

"Ah, two colleagues just went out for a walk to digest their food, and someone from the production team gave it to them. I don't know which kind uncle gave it to them. Uncle, there's more here, would you like to try it?"

"No, no. We don't like it. You guys eat it."

The two of them knew that the orange was so sour that it made their teeth ache, and they kept waving their hands and refusing to take the orange.

Huang Xinran didn't force it.

Seeing that the two were not willing to take over, he put one back and picked up the other one to slowly peel the skin to pass the time.

It was obvious that these two uncles came for her, and inviting them to eat oranges was just a coincidence because she knew they would not eat them.

"Uncle probably hurt the oranges, unlike me. I rarely see these oranges when I'm away from home, and now that I'm home, I have to taste the flavor of my hometown. Let me tell you, there are still several date trees on the hill behind our production team. The red dates should be ripe this season, right? Why don't we go and see if we can pick a few to taste?"

"Oh, niece, it's too late for you to say that. The few jujube trees in our production team have long been ripped clean by those wild monkeys. There are no dates left. If you want to eat them, you'll have to wait until next year!"
