At Lin Ye's house, Lu Wanqing and Lin Chunhua worked while chatting about Xiao Cui, waiting for her to bring back good news.
Lin Ye went to work in the fields.
He's on summer vacation now and hasn't been to the fields for a long time, so he misses the feeling of his feet sinking into the mud.
This year, the team has acquired 33 mu of land and started raising crabs, which has significantly increased the workload.
Especially in fields where crabs are raised, those harvesting must be extra careful not to step on the crabs.
Those crabs, after several months of growth, have grown to the size of half a fist, and will be at their fattest and most delicious in October.
Luo Hao saw how efficiently Lin Ye worked.
The boy teased, "Looks like you haven't given up your farming business after all!"
If it were someone else, already a teacher, they wouldn't pick up a sickle again to do such dirty and tiring work in the fields.
Lin Ye, not to be outdone by his teasing, retorted, "What? The house is all built, but the bride hasn't entered the house yet?"
Luo Hao's face immediately darkened.
Doesn't he want to get married soon?
But Mu Xiaoting ran into trouble. Her family was initially quite happy about her upcoming marriage, but as soon as they heard that he was from the Victory Brigade, they turned against her and refused to let her marry him.
"Mu Xiaoting's family looks down on me because I'm from the countryside and doesn't want us to get married," Luo Hao said sullenly. "It seems your wife is really good to you; she doesn't care about her background and just wants to marry you!"
Lin Ye felt a surge of sweetness when he thought of his wife. He also hoped that Luo Hao could be as happy as he was, so he encouraged him, "You've already built your house, bought everything, and prepared the dowry. Why not try again? Have a good talk with Mu Xiaoting."
Luo Hao nodded, and was about to speak when Lin Xiaocui rushed over.
"Brother, Wang Xu and Luo Chunlei have been arrested by the police. Your sister-in-law wants you to go back; she says she's going to the county town to bail them out!"
After Lin Xiaocui finished speaking, Luo Hao was so shocked that he dropped his sickle on the ground.
"Did Luo Chunlei get into trouble?" he asked urgently.
Lin Xiaocui couldn't explain it clearly in a short time, so she said, "Come on up quickly, we'll talk as we walk."
Lin Ye and Luo Hao quickly came up from the field, roughly washed their feet and hands with the water, and then hurried home.
On the way, Lin Xiaocui briefly explained what had happened.
It turned out that Wang Xu and Luo Chunlei were furious when they learned that the head of the personnel department had tricked her. They took advantage of his departure from the factory, pinned him down, took him to a small grove of trees, tied him to a tree, and asked him why he hadn't hired Lin Xiaocui.
The personnel manager was a shrewd man. Knowing he couldn't beat two young men, he told them everything.
"It was a direct order from one of our deputy factory directors, and I dared not disobey!" he pleaded, his voice trembling with tears.
Wang Xu was about to let it go, but Luo Chunlei grabbed him by the neck and continued to ask, "Why did that deputy factory director suddenly issue such an order?"
The head of the personnel department, his fox-like eyes darting around, hurriedly blurted out, his face already turning red, "It was...it was his friend who asked him to do it."
"What friend? What's their name?"
The head of the personnel department said in a trembling voice, "I really don't know. I just overheard them talking; I didn't even see a single person."
Luo Chunlei then released him, and seeing his timid appearance, he guessed that he was telling the truth.
The man fled in fear and immediately went to report the incident to the police.
The police had no choice but to arrest the person first and then have their family members come to handle the situation.
Soon, Lin Ye took Lu Wanqing to the police station on his bicycle.
Luo Hao then went to inform Wang Guangming, and together they rode their bikes over.
However, by the time the two of them arrived, Lu Wanqing had already led them out.
She went directly to Liu Zhengfeng. Hearing that Wang Xu and Luo Chunlei were friends' children, she asked a few questions and, upon learning that no one had been assaulted, released them.
If the personnel chief asks, just say there are no witnesses, the person is fine, there's no evidence, so you can only release him.
Lu Wanqing knew that Liu Zhengfeng was giving them face and letting them off the hook. Otherwise, it would have been common practice to beat them up before releasing them without evidence.
"Captain Liu, thank you very much. I'll visit you again another day." Lu Wanqing said with a smile as she took her leave.
Luo Hao and Wang Guangming picked up the person and gave Lu Wanqing a grateful look.
It's so touching that they ran around doing all sorts of things for them while they were heavily pregnant.
Wang Guangming smiled shyly and insisted on treating Lin Ye and his wife to a meal to express his gratitude.
"Captain Wang, let's talk about dinner another day. It's good that we're in the county town. I'd like to go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup." Lu Wanqing refused.
Lin Xiaocui was still waiting at home, urging Wang Xu and Luo Chunlei to go back quickly so she could feel at ease.
Wang Guangming didn't insist and took Wang Xu home.
Luo Hao followed behind them with Luo Chunlei.
Lin Ye then took Lu Wanqing to the hospital.
Lu Wanqing has already registered here and decided to give birth here from now on.
Seeing her come over again, the doctor smiled:
"You've been coming too often; once every two months is enough."
In this day and age, most babies are still born at home by a midwife. Few babies from county towns come to the hospital, and it's rare to see someone like her having such frequent checkups.
"I was just passing by," Lu Wanqing said with a smile.
She just wanted to hear the babies' voices.
After a while, when three rapid and powerful heartbeats came through the machine's loudspeaker, she smiled excitedly.
After laughing, Lin Ye secretly wiped away tears.
This is the fruit of his and his wife's love. It has grown from a tiny green bean to the size of a little mouse. In a few months, it will be born and meet them.
Seeing his wet and red eyes, Lu Wanqing grinned even more, "Is there anyone like you? A grown man crying like this."
Lin Ye wasn't annoyed by the joke. He helped her up after the examination and said, "Wife, thank you for letting me experience the joy of being a father."
Lu Wanqing tugged at his sleeve, complaining coquettishly, "This is a hospital, aren't you ashamed to say such things?"
Lin Ye said matter-of-factly, "What's there to be ashamed of? I'm thanking my wife."
The image of Wang Tiegang abandoning his wife and getting married to another woman flashed through my mind. That kind of man is not a man.
After the check-up, the two walked out hand in hand, but when they reached the door, they almost bumped into another couple.
"I'm sorry~"
"Excuse me~"
Both parties apologized.
Lu Wanqing looked closely and realized that the other party was Zhang Wei and his wife Wu Minzhi.
"Wanqing, are you pregnant?" Wu Minzhi blurted out as they entered the obstetrics and gynecology ward.
Lu Wanqing nodded, blushing, "Yes, I'm here for a prenatal checkup."
Soon, she realized something and pressed, "Are you pregnant too?"
Wu Minzhi glanced at Zhang Wei and nodded shyly, "I think I'm pregnant. I haven't had my period for two months, so I came here today specifically to check and confirm."
