Chapter 34: Is it just making wedding clothes for others in vain?
Everything around me seems to be getting farther and farther away.
Huang Xinran's mind went blank, and the only thing he could think of was the other person's hand, which was broad, thick, and hot.
As if she was burned, she shook violently and shook off his hand, almost jumping up in fright. Her pretty face turned red.
“You, you, you…”
She was so excited that she couldn't finish her sentences and accidentally bit her tongue, causing the two people in the front row to turn around and look at her.
"What's wrong? Sister-in-law, are you feeling well? Why is your face so red?"
"No, I'm fine..."
Huang Xinran's voice was hoarse, and she didn't dare to look at Lu Yunchen: "Just now, I just bumped into someone accidentally, it's nothing, hehe." She smiled foolishly.
What else can I do?
Lu Yunchen didn't say anything, but just glanced at him deeply, and the mockery in his eyes could not be hidden.
Of course he had no intention of hiding.
Huang Xinran's face became redder and redder!
She couldn't control it. She hurriedly covered her red face and wished she was dead. She couldn't imagine that she would blush because he held her hand even though she was pregnant.
That's outrageous.
She subconsciously clenched her fists. No, this can't go on!
However, it was at this moment that she realized that the half of the meat bun in her hand had been crushed by herself. But she couldn't even remember when she got the half bun...
Even though it was now flattened, Huang Xinran still had no intention of throwing it away.
Food is hard to come by, especially during the lean season. She picked up half a bun and ate it in big mouthfuls. Because she ate too fast, she choked and rolled her eyes.
Fortunately, Lu Yunchen discovered it in time and handed over a bottle of water.
It was his water bottle, the kind used in the army.
Huang Xinran took a sip of water and choked for a long time before he recovered. He drank several sips of water and was really scared of choking. He didn't dare to eat the remaining half of the bun. If he put it down, there was no place to put it. If he threw it away, it would be a pity...
Just when he was in a dilemma, Lu Yunchen took the small half of the bun and ate it in one bite.
Did he eat it?
This man, he actually eats his own leftovers?
Huang Xinran could no longer use the word "surprised" to describe herself; she should be described as "frightened".
Lu Yunchen was completely calm. He took out two boxes of cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to each of the two people in the front row: "Here, take it!"
"Wow! It's actually Daqianmen? Are you rich now, squad leader?"
Zhang Li and Wang Hongjun were both surprised. Such good cigarettes were given out just by the squad leader's order?
"You and I are brothers, why do we have to do this just to smoke a pack of cigarettes?"
Lu Yunchen was a man of few words, and he waved his hand casually: "Your sister-in-law is in the countryside with two children, so it is inconvenient for her to travel. I'm afraid I will have to trouble you in the future."
"What are you talking about? Squad leader, as long as sister-in-law needs us, we will definitely be there at your beck and call!"
"That's not necessary."
Lu Yunchen was also amused by what they said.
Although they are brothers in life and death, the consumption of running a truck is not small, so he naturally cannot treat his good brother badly. He should show his attitude and give enough money where it is necessary, only in this way can their brotherly relationship last long.
Huang Xinran also glanced at each other.
Is this man paving the way for her?
Did he forget that they just said they were going to get a divorce a few days ago? He didn't know that he didn't plan to get a divorce, so he wasn't afraid that if he really left, he would get nothing and would have done nothing for others?
But right now, she couldn't embarrass him.
"Yes, yes, your squad leader is right. I'm afraid I've been in the city quite a lot recently. If I'm lucky enough to meet you two who want a ride, I'll give it to you. Don't be disgusted, brothers."
"Sister-in-law, what do you think of us brothers when you say this?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant..."
Huang Xinran defended himself.
It was not until she heard their laughter that she realized they were teasing her on purpose. For a moment, she couldn't help laughing.
"That's enough! I won't say any more polite words. Like this!"
Huang Xinran thought for a moment before speaking: "My sister-in-law doesn't have any special abilities. If you two need her in any way in the future, just let me know."
Even though it was a bad check, everyone in the car put it down.
The truck was moving very fast. In less than two hours, they returned to the road behind the village and got off the truck.
When Lu Yunchen took the basket down from the carriage, Huang Xinran realized that there was an extra basket of food. Although it was covered tightly, Huang Xinran could still see a few broken rice leaking out from the gap in the basket.
It’s cornmeal!
The locals do not have the habit of eating corn grits, but they have the tradition of eating cornmeal. Cornmeal can be used to make many delicacies, and Huang Xinran's favorite is tung leaf baba.
As soon as she saw the cornmeal, she recalled the joy of eating tung leaf cakes when she was a child.
The truck kicked up a cloud of dust and sped away.
Huang Xinran looked at Lu Yunchen carrying the load and hurried forward: "Lu Yunchen, where did you get this cornmeal? Can you get it?"
Lu Yunchen said nothing, glanced at her, picked up his shoulder pole and walked back.
He didn't carry the load one load at a time like most people do, but he stacked two baskets and two flat bags and tied them with ropes. Cornmeal is heavy to begin with, and Huang Xinran also bought a lot of things today, so it was not easy to carry them all together.
But Lu Yunchen still walked briskly, as if the burden on his shoulders did not exist.
"Wow……"
Huang Xinran opened her mouth wide. She had never expected that Lu Yunchen was so strong. No wonder she had never been able to get rid of her before.
She hurriedly caught up with him: "Lu Yunchen, I can carry my own burden. Hey, did you hear me? Lu Yunchen... stop!"
She followed him all the way, and when she reached the top of the mountain ridge, she realized that he was not walking back to the team, but was moving forward on the ridge. Huang Xinran was still shouting at first, but when she reached the top of the mountain ridge, she was so thirsty that she couldn't shout anymore.
"Lu Yunchen, where are you going?"
She originally thought that the other party would not speak, but she did not expect that this time, Lu Yunchen finally responded.
"It's too conspicuous to go back to the production team now. Come with me to a place that's safe. Don't worry, you'll know once you get there."
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said it, Huang Xinran's curiosity was aroused, and she followed him obediently. They went diagonally to the pine forest on the other side. As the surrounding forest became denser and then sparser, Huang Xinran realized that they had come to a flat area.
"This is..."
She seemed to have been here a few days ago.
That’s right, isn’t this the place where she was assigned to cut grass for the cows on the day she went to the fields to earn work points, and where she and Su Min, one cut grass for the cows and the other planted potatoes?
Look, that wide field in front, isn’t that where Su Min plants potatoes?
Why did Lu Yunchen bring me here?
Unexpectedly, Lu Yunchen did not stop, but walked forward for more than ten minutes before finally stopping in front of a shaky little house.
Looking at the almost collapsed hut, Huang Xinran finally recognized the place where Lu Yunchen brought him. It was the shed at the junction of Qianjin Village and Dongfeng Village, which was used to raise cattle. Later, as the two production teams scrambled for cattle, the land was finally divided based on this shed. The shed on the land was no longer used to raise cattle, but instead was inhabited by a few lonely old men with sensitive identities.
But Huang Xinran knew that in the near future, these lonely old men would be rehabilitated and receive the honor they deserved.
