Chapter 26 Entering the City
【Oh no, system, you scared me to death!】
Lu Mingyue tried hard to control her expression, but in reality, she was screaming like a groundhog inside.
[Luckily, Huo Zheng intervened in time. Otherwise, with such a large earthworm wriggling around in front of me, the earthworm would be fine, but I would be the one in trouble!]
Lu Mingyue had seen earthworms before, but this was the first time she had ever seen one this thick.
I never would have guessed that the Huo family's land was so fertile, and that their earthworms were raised in such an unusual way.
Huo Zheng's boyfriend charm is off the charts! Is he really not the male lead?
System: [Of course not. Someone as awesome as him can only appear as background; after all, the male lead has to be the epitome of cool, handsome, and arrogant.]
Lu Mingyue clicked her tongue, saying with some regret, "Since the female lead is not fortunate enough to have someone like that, then I won't be polite."
If Lu Mingyue were perceptive enough, she would have noticed that Huo Zheng's ear tips were slightly red at this moment.
He put his daughter down and looked at Lu Mingyue, saying, "I bought breakfast. Let's eat."
Two hours have passed since Lu Mingyue heard the bugle call and got up. Could it be that the three of them haven't eaten yet and are waiting for her to eat together?
In Lu Mingyue's family, the parents have always adopted a laissez-faire approach to raising her.
Everyone is equal and independent.
Whether it's eating, sleeping, or drinking, there's no need to wait for the elders; everyone can do whatever they want, and the relationship with parents is as natural as that of friends.
Now that they had waited for her for so long, Lu Mingyue felt a little guilty.
"No, no."
Huo Zheng quickly reassured them, "I just got back not long ago, and Leilei and Yaoyao just got up too."
The little dumpling at Huo Zheng's feet looked at its father with a puzzled expression.
She's already dug up more than ten loaches, so why is Dad only saying she just woke up?
Yao Yao didn't understand.
Yao Yao looked completely puzzled.
Maybe that's just how adults talk.
Leilei pouted, "No, I've been up for ages."
He would never try to please this wicked woman like his father did.
The little one briefly accepted his new mom yesterday, but woke up today and went back to his old ways.
Lu Mingyao's lips curled up slightly. No matter what, it was a fact that they were waiting for her to eat.
Huo Zheng got two servings of plain porridge, two servings of soy milk, and some fried dough sticks and steamed buns from the cafeteria.
They even brought back a few salted duck eggs.
"I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I just ordered a little bit of everything."
Looking at the table full of breakfast, Huo Zheng felt that he had taken too much.
"Thanks."
Lu Mingyue has never been a picky eater; she'll eat anything as long as it fills her stomach.
However, since Huo Zheng had this intention, she still had to be polite.
After breakfast, the two children knew they were going to the county town and wanted to go with them.
Lu Mingyue felt the children's gaze and turned to look at Huo Zheng, "How about we bring them along?"
Huo Zheng originally thought that they would need to buy a lot of things in the county town, which might take a lot of time.
The two children were too tired from running around with them, so they wanted to rest at home.
But given the current situation, that is clearly impossible.
The two little ones were pouting, each one higher than the other.
"Okay, you can go, but you must listen to your parents and not run around, or you will be kidnapped by bad people."
Of course, the most important part is the first half.
The following was only meant to subtly instruct the children to obey; it was something I had to say.
Leilei and Yaoyao nodded quickly, afraid that their father might change his mind at any moment.
After discussing it with the children, Huo Zheng said to Lu Mingyue, "I'll go to the military camp to borrow a car first, and I'll come back to pick you up later."
Lu Mingyue nodded slightly.
After Huo Zheng left, Yao Yao took her mother's hand and shook it, "Mom, Yao Yao wants to wear the same clothes as you too."
Wearing the same clothes?
Yesterday, one of Yao Yao's clothes was made of a very similar fabric color to the one she was wearing. I guess the little one is going to wear that one.
"Okay, I'll take you to change right away."
After Lu Mingyue finished speaking, she glanced at Leilei, who was still digging in the dirt, and said, "Do you want to go change your clothes? We're going to the county town later."
What's wrong with Leilei going to the county town? It's not like he's never been before.
But he wasn't a fool; of course, he would dress smartly when he went to the county town.
After Lu Mingyue took Yao Yao to change her clothes, he quickly ran to the well to wash his hands and made sure to scrub the mud off his feet.
Change your clothes as quickly as possible, even before the two of them come out.
Lu Mingyue smiled as she looked at his new clothes.
When Huo Zheng drove back, the adult and two children were just leaving.
Leilei was very envious of his father sitting in the driver's seat of the Jeep and strongly expressed that he wanted to sit in the passenger seat and experience similar scenery.
Lu Mingyue felt that it was too dangerous for a child his age to sit there.
Without adult protection, even with a seatbelt, a small child is not safe.
Huo Zheng agreed with her idea and said to his son, "You can sit on it next time Dad takes you out."
Lei Lei lowered his head in disappointment. Well, it seems he'll have to wait until next time.
It's better to have something than nothing; the little guy is already quite content.
After the family got into the car, it started slowly. Huo Zheng maintained the speed and made sure the ride was smooth.
Yao Yao sat in the middle of the back seat, holding her mother's hand with one hand and her brother's hand with the other, smiling with great satisfaction.
The scenery outside rushed past, and half an hour later, the family arrived in the county town.
Huo Zheng drove directly to the entrance of the county supply and marketing cooperative.
The military green jeep attracted a lot of attention as soon as it stopped.
"Wow, whose car is that? It looks really impressive."
"Yes, when will my family's children be so successful, and I, as an old woman, finally have the chance to ride in a car?"
"You idiots, didn't you see what color that car was? It's obviously a military comrade from the nearby area who came out to make purchases."
The island is large, but there is only one team stationed there, and people from the family compound often come out to make purchases.
This wasn't the first time people had seen this scene, but because of their love for cars, they still couldn't help but stop and look whenever someone came to buy one.
Before Lu Mingyue even got out of the car, she could feel the stares of people outside. She regretted not wearing a hat when she went out.
[Speed is key! Don't be afraid, the system has your back, just keep pushing forward!]
The system didn't even seem to have found a small megaphone somewhere, and it started beeping.
Lu Mingyue [##@%**]
After a low hissing sound, the system obediently shut down.
Huo Zheng didn't even hear what this part was about, but judging from Lu Mingyue's expression, it probably wasn't anything nice.
"We've arrived. Let's get off."
With a look of resignation, Lu Mingyue got out of the car and ran into the supply and marketing cooperative like a gust of wind, carrying Xiao Yaoyao in her arms.
Knowing the whole story, Huo Zheng: ......
There's no need to run so fast.
