“I, I…”
Seeing Captain Lu's unhappy expression, Song Wanping quickly retreated.
Captain Lu's wife smoothed her hair and stood up with a grin.
But she could also understand Song Wanping. Looking at her old man's gloomy eyes, she hurried out to smooth things over.
"I was helping Song Zhiqing swat leeches, and she was a little scared for a moment."
After hearing what she said, Captain Lu's expression relaxed slightly.
He said in a cold voice: "Work hard!"
He then put his hands behind his back and walked away quickly.
Song Wanping had a sad face and tremblingly entered the rice field again.
Captain Lu's wife taught her step by step, and it took most of the day to help her overcome her fear.
When he got off work at noon, Lu Zhiye washed his feet by the river and ran to Captain Lu's house to say something.
"Captain, I have finished my work for today, and I want to take a leave in the afternoon."
Captain Lu was busy writing a report. He waved his hands and said, "Go, go."
After hearing his agreement, Lu Zhiye walked out briskly.
He has to go to the county today. Xiaoqiang sent him a message yesterday, asking him to go to the black market today.
Lu Zhiye was a little confused. He didn't know why Xiaoqiang gave him such instructions.
At noon, Wen Sihe stewed chicken soup and fried a bowl of braised pork ribs.
A strong smell accompanied by white smoke drifted away from the chimney.
Everyone in the educated youth center couldn't help but sniff.
Li Hualin and his companions looked at the sweet potato rice in their bowls and the watery soup on the table, and they felt as if a huge stone was stuck in their throats.
They couldn't even swallow the food in their mouths.
Song Wanping couldn't help but throw her chopsticks down: "It's been so long, and there's not even a hint of oil on it. Is this food for human consumption?"
Wu Yu looked at the dishes on the table and sneered, "What, we are not human beings?
If your eyes are not working well, you can donate them to people in need.
You can't see the oil spots floating on it, right?"
Her words were so sharp that Song Wanping couldn't help but tear up.
She had never been treated like this since she was a child. Ever since she arrived at the educated youth point, this female educated youth has been targeting and bullying her.
The more Song Wanping thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and finally she couldn't help crying.
Wu Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly. Oh, God, why do they have to let these young masters and young ladies who can't endure hardship to annoy them?
"Okay, stop talking.
Song Zhiqing, you have a separate stove in your room. If you feel that eating with us is not enough for you, you can cook for yourself."
Fang Shijie coughed lightly and looked at Song Wanping with a serious look.
The impatience between his brows is visible to the naked eye.
"Then why can't we cook all the meat and eggs we bought the other day?"
Li Hualin was also a little angry. He felt that these people were reluctant to eat meat just because they were there, and who knows what they were doing behind their backs.
Li Guihua said helplessly: "The meat has been pickled. It will be our food for most of the month.
We have to ensure that we have meat every day, but we also have to control the amount, so it is impossible to use it all up.”
Li Guihua explained with good intentions, hoping that these people would stop causing trouble.
They are already tired enough after a day's work, who has the time to engage in intrigue and curse with them?
Li Guihua's words gave them a way out.
Li Hualin didn't say anything more and finished his meal without tasting it.
On the other side, Lu Zhiye, who was completely unaware of the situation, ate two large bowls of rice, drank a bowl of chicken soup, and happily rode his bicycle towards the county.
Just as he was passing by the educated youth site, he happened to meet Song Wanping carrying out a basin of water.
When Song Wanping came back with the water, she couldn't help but ask Niu Liye.
"Why didn't that person go to work? They even have a bicycle at home?"
Niu Liye rolled his eyes at her and said, “His wife is an educated youth, and they are both capable.
I can finish the whole day's work in the morning, and then I can ask the team leader for leave in the afternoon."
Song Wanping muttered a few words and smelled the names of the two people.
The more I muttered to myself, the more I felt that the names of these two people sounded familiar, as if I had heard them somewhere before.
It was not until midnight that Song Wanping suddenly sat up from the bed. Yes, she had heard about it from Li Hualin's parents.
When her mother asked her to deliver something to the Li family, she accidentally heard some words at the door.
Later, he was worried that it might be some unknown secret, so he ran away in a hurry. Over time, he kept the matter deep in his heart.
Thinking of Li Hualin being assigned to this brigade to join the team, Li's father and others mentioned the names of Lu Zhiye and others.
If there is no trick involved, no one would believe it.
Song Wanping tossed and turned, unable to sleep. After learning such a big secret, she felt as if ants were crawling all over her body, and she was anxious and worried.
The next morning, Captain Lu's wife was shocked when she saw the dark circles under her eyes.
Nowadays, everyone falls asleep as soon as they are tired, but this Song Zhiqing is really full of energy.
It seems that I can assign her some more tasks today.
On the other side, Lu Zhiye was riding his bicycle quickly towards the city.
The cold wind blew and made his clothes rustle.
Finally arriving at the county town, he put his bicycle into the space and walked towards the black market vigilantly.
He thought something happened in the black market.
But when he walked into the street market, it was peaceful.
The young man was still guarding under the big tree, and he looked no different from usual.
Lu Zhiye suppressed the strange look in his eyes and walked quickly towards the yard at the back.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Xiaoqiang squatting at the door smoking with a sad face.
Seeing Lu Zhiye coming over, Xiao Qiang took a puff of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground as if to vent his anger, and stomped on it hard.
"What's wrong? You're in such a hurry."
Lu Zhiye slowly walked in front of Xiaoqiang and felt a little relieved.
It doesn't look like a big deal.
Xiaoqiang pulled Lu Zhiye inside, and before closing the door, he looked around to see if there was anyone around his house.
"Brother Lu, I'm undecided about something right now. Come and give me some advice."
Xiaoqiang picked up the thermos and made a cup of tea for Lu Zhiye, letting out a heavy sigh.
"Is there anything you can't make up your mind about?"
Lu Zhiye leaned back in his chair, his body completely relaxed.
Xiao Qiang pulled a chair over and sat in front of him: "Do you know the two babies I adopted?"
"Yes, I know."
When Lu Zhiye heard him change the topic to Yueyue, he sat up slightly and pretended to listen attentively.
"A few days ago, the boy's family came to visit. Logically, I shouldn't have kept him here, but Xie Jing insisted on taking Yueyue away."
