After Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen came out, they walked forward a little further and stopped under the shade of a tree.
Ai Xiaoxia said to Lu Jingshen, "You're going to be late for work, so hurry back. I can just take the bus home."
Lu Jingshen looked at the watch on his wrist: "I still have some time, I'll have lunch with you before going back."
"No need. I would be worried if you rush back in a hurry. I'm right at the station. I can take the bus back directly. You don't have to worry. How great is that?" Ai Xiaoxia said.
"Then let's have a bowl of noodles at the noodle shop in front. Ten or twenty minutes will be enough." As he said that, Lu Jingshen had already walked towards the noodle shop not far away on the opposite side.
Ai Xiaoxia couldn't resist and followed him.
After sitting down and ordering two bowls of noodles, Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia and smiled: "I heard Jingyuan talk about you and your aunt, and I find it funny when I think about it."
Ai Xiaoxia also laughed: "Did you imagine my shrewish side?"
Lu Jingshen shook his head: "What I'm thinking about is how you protected my parents and how you helped them. My family didn't have to suffer so much before. Thank you, Xiaoxia."
"It's not strange to tell me this, but Depth of Field, I really admire you. You are a hero."
"Hero? That word is too strong. I just inherited Grandpa Ai's virtues."
As they were talking, the waiter brought the noodles. The two didn't say much else. After eating, Lu Jingshen sent Ai Xiaoxia to the bus station.
It was just a few steps away, and they didn't leave the station. When they arrived at the station, Ai Xiaoxia told Lu Jingshen not to tell his family about Fang Lan'e's situation so as not to worry them.
Lu Jingshen also thought so. After all, the old man might not understand their thoughts, and he was also afraid that they would let something slip and affect Fang Lan'e.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ai Xiaoxia asked Lu Jingshen to go back to work. She just had to sit in the waiting room and wait for the time to come so that she could take the bus.
Lu Jingshen gave her a few more instructions, asking her to be careful on the road, and then went back to work.
Ai Xiaoxia sat near the door. Because it was hot, there was a bit of wind at the door.
The train was about to depart. Ai Xiaoxia stood up and was about to check her ticket when someone behind her shouted, "Catch the thief!"
Ai Xiaoxia stood up subconsciously and looked at a man wearing a hat and holding a black bag running towards him from behind. Behind him was a young man wearing glasses who was chasing him and shouting "Catch the thief".
Ai Xiaoxia grabbed the hatted man's shoulder and held him down.
The man in the hat felt something was wrong and threw the bag in his hand directly at Ai Xiaoxia. While Ai Xiaoxia was dodging, he quickly ran away. After all, if he couldn't steal, it was better than being caught and imprisoned.
Ai Xiaoxia caught the black bag and looked at the thief who was running away with a bit of regret. It was a pity that the thief got away.
The young man with glasses at the back ran up to Ai Xiaoxia, panting: "Thank you, comrade."
Ai Xiaoxia handed the bag to the man with glasses: "It's just a small favor, you're welcome."
The man with glasses took the bag and said with great gratitude, "Thank you so much. This bag contains very important design drafts for me. If you lose it, my years of hard work will be gone. Thank you so much." As he spoke, he took out his wallet from his pocket, took out all the money and handed it to Ai Xiaoxia, "This is all I have. It's just a small token of my appreciation."
Ai Xiaoxia quickly waved her hands and said, "Really, no need. I don't do good deeds for money. You really don't have to worry. I'm going to miss my bus." After that, she ran towards the ticket gate.
The young man with glasses ran after Ai Xiaoxia and said, "My name is Muchen. I work at the Architectural Design Institute. If you have any questions, you can come to my workplace."
Ai Xiaoxia checked her ticket and waved to Mu Chen, saying, "Goodbye." After that, she hurried out the door and got on the bus home.
Mu Chen looked in Ai Xiaoxia's direction for a long time, and then realized that he didn't even ask the girl's name, and he felt full of regret.
Ai Xiaoxia took a car back to the village, picked up the bicycle from Boss Liu, and then hurried home, naturally concealing what happened today.
When she returned home, Lu Lin was helping Li Shaofen make snacks. Ai Xiaoxia came back, washed her hands, and started working together.
Li Shaofen knew that Ai Xiaoxia's family favored boys over girls, so she asked about Ai Xiaoping out of concern.
Ai Xiaoxia explained the situation again, there was no need to hide it.
Lu Lin sighed after hearing this: "Hey, why do so many people value their sons more than their lives and treat their daughters like weeds?"
Ai Xiaoxia also sighed: "They just can't get over it. Aren't sons and daughters both biological children? Who will be filial to them in the future? With family planning now, families in the city only have one child. Aren't both boys and girls treasures?"
Lu Lin also said, "That's right. People with jobs and status don't discriminate against boys. I don't know what some people are thinking."
Lu Guojiu sat cross-legged on the kang and said, "This is also the thinking of the older generation. In our rural areas, don't we still have to raise sons to take care of us in our old age? How can we live with our daughters?"
Ai Xiaoxia also understood Lu Guojiu's thoughts. The 1980s and 1990s were the time when society made the greatest progress, and people's thinking was very different. Her father-in-law, who had not received much education, still had relatively conservative ideas.
She explained to Lu Guojiu, "Dad, times are changing, so there will be many nursing homes in the future. Think about it, many couples in the city are both working, so what if the elderly at home are bedridden? Can they still give up their jobs? So the country will have corresponding measures to deal with these problems."
Lu Guojiu still had many questions: "Is the place you are talking about the same as a hospital?"
"The guarantees are different. One is for medical treatment and the other is for life. However, these must also follow the national conditions. Aren't many policies just implemented now? Anyway, the policies issued by the country are all based on facts and plans, right?" Ai Xiaoxia couldn't say too much.
Lu Guojiu agreed: "That's right. Look, the country is very good now. It gives us farmers loans to buy seeds, fertilizers, etc."
As they chatted, they moved on to children, national conditions, and food. It was already late August, and the autumn harvest would be here in more than a month. The weather was good this year, so it would be a bumper year. Lu Guojiu was also happy when talking about the autumn harvest.
In the evening, Ai Xiaoxia made her pajamas, a long white nightgown. After all, she often slept in the same room with Lu Jingshen, so she had to pay attention to her clothes at night.
I have finished mine and there is still quite a bit of fabric left, so I decided to make a set of pajamas for Lu Jingshen. It would be convenient for myself and others as well.
She found Lu Jingshen's clothes and it was easy to make them according to his size.
Because it is the end of summer, the pajamas are short-sleeved and the pajamas are long.
The blue-gray plaid fabric is quite suitable for making pajamas.
There is no rush anyway. I have cut it out today and can make it tomorrow. There is nothing to do tomorrow. Now I don’t have to follow the market. I can make snacks the next day and make what I want the next day. It is quite comfortable.
