Chapter 60
Lu Chen kept walking, looking straight in the direction of the group, and explained in a calm voice: "It's up to him to do whatever he wants."
Zhou Tong choked, but thinking about his brother Lu's temper and personality, it seemed that he was not really curious about what Dong Qingcheng was trying to do.
But in the end he still did not forget to remind Lu Chen.
"No matter what, Brother Lu, you should be careful."
Lu Chen then stopped and looked at him, then nodded.
"Yeah, I know."
Soon, the two reached the intersection and said goodbye to each other.
After parting with Zhou Tong, the only person traveling with Lu Chen was Dong Qingcheng, but Lu Chen chose to ignore his following as usual.
As the group got closer, Lu Chen's pace quickened unconsciously.
They came back from the county town early in the morning, so when he returned to the team it was still early, not yet noon.
During the few days he was away, the grain harvest had already begun on several fields in the brigade, and a group of people were busy cutting and threshing rice.
In the past, if Lu Chen was there, he would definitely be an expert at threshing. With him around, I wonder how much faster the progress would be.
No one noticed it when he was around, but when he was not around, everyone realized how efficient things were with Lu Chen around.
At this moment, someone in the field saw Lu Chen and couldn't help but shout to him in surprise.
"Hey Lu Chen, you're finally back!"
As soon as the voice came out, everyone else turned around and looked over. Seeing that it was really Lu Chen who came back, everyone had different expressions on their faces. Some were delighted, some were surprised, and of course some were jealous.
After all, everyone had already learned about Lu Chen's trip to the county town to learn about tractors in the past few days. After knowing this, everyone naturally had all kinds of feelings. Some people even expressed dissatisfaction to the captain, saying that they also had young people in their families who were suitable, so why not let them go.
No one knew how the captain responded to this, but no one made trouble again after that.
Lu Chen responded to everyone's greetings the same way as before, with just a slight nod, and then disappeared in front of everyone.
But after he left, everyone looked behind him and found that there was another person there, and that person was wearing a military uniform!
Wow!
Lu Chen is an incredible guy. He actually brought back a soldier after going out?
However, as they walked in one after the other without any communication between them, everyone thought that maybe they didn't know each other at all and maybe they just bumped into each other.
But is there anyone in their brigade who knows anyone in the army?
Are you going to find Dou Zhengrong?
Everyone's curiosity started to grow again.
As for Lu Chen, after a week, he finally returned home. The door was closed. He hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to knock on the door.
After all, it was broad daylight. If I just climbed in like that, it would be troublesome if other people saw me and did the same to me in the future.
He knocked on the door several times, and finally there was a voice responding from inside the house.
"Who is it?"
It was Meng Yinyin's voice.
Hearing her voice, Lu Chen smiled unconsciously.
But he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that Meng Yinyin's voice sounded a little unhappy, and her tone was a little impatient, as if she was busy doing something and hadn't done it well.
Realizing this, Lu Chen spoke immediately.
"It's me, Lu Chen."
After his voice rang out, the yard suddenly became quiet for a moment, and then there was an inexplicable series of crackling and clanging sounds, as if something had fallen over.
Hearing this sound, Lu Chen became anxious, worrying that Meng Yinyin might have bumped into something and got hurt.
His brows were furrowed, and on one hand he raised his voice and shouted to the inside to tell Meng Yinyin not to worry, but on the other hand he could no longer control the urge to climb over the wall and rush in to see what was going on inside.
However, just when he reached the wall, he heard the sound of the courtyard door opening, and at the same time, Meng Yinyin's surprised voice was heard.
"You're back!"
Lu Chen had no choice but to hurry back to the gate of the courtyard. When he saw Meng Yinyin standing in front of him intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, his sight suddenly stopped at her face, which was as dirty as a kitten's.
"Yin Yin, your face...?"
Meng Yinyin had just heard Lu Chen's voice and hurried out of the kitchen. She didn't have time to look in the mirror, so she had no idea what her face looked like at the moment.
"What happened to my face?"
She opened her eyes wide and touched her cheek in confusion, but accidentally smeared the black ash on her face to another place, making her face even dirtier.
Seeing this, Lu Chen sighed helplessly.
"Don't move. There's dust on your face. Go in and get some water to wipe it off."
There is ash!
Meng Yinyin was shocked for a moment, then looked down at her hand. Sure enough, it was black. She must have accidentally got some dust from the stove on it.
After she reacted, she screamed and quickly covered her face with both hands to prevent Lu Chen from seeing it.
She had initially thought about dressing up beautifully when Lu Chen came back, and letting him eat the meal she had carefully prepared, but how did she end up looking like this!
Ahhh, this is so embarrassing!
Meng Yinyin's face immediately turned red with shame and anger. Lu Chen always knew that she loved beauty, so he suddenly said something uncontrollably.
"You look good like this, too."
When these words came out, not only he was stunned, but Meng Yinyin in front of him was also stunned.
After being surprised, her expression suddenly turned suspicious.
When did Lu Chen's mouth become so sweet and eloquent? Did he meet someone in the county town who taught him during this period?
If it's a man, he must be a smooth-talking man.
If it's a woman...
When she thought of this, Meng Yinyin felt inexplicably jealous.
In the end, she could only pout and glare at him, then went into the yard humming.
Although Lu Chen didn't understand why, he quickly followed.
But when he turned around to close the gate, he subconsciously looked behind him, and sure enough, he saw Dong Qingcheng standing not far from his house.
When he was outside before, Lu Chen chose to ignore Dong Qingcheng directly, but now standing at the door of his and Meng Yinyin's home, he looked at him with unconscious vigilance and hostility in his eyes, like a beast dividing up territory to prevent invasion by others.
After making sure that Dong Qingcheng understood the meaning of his gaze, Lu Chen turned around without hesitation and closed the door, completely blocking Dong Qingcheng's sight.
Seeing this scene, Dong Qingcheng couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then touched his chin meaningfully.
He felt that he should have figured out Lu Chen's weakness.
That lesbian.
In the yard.
Meng Yinyin ran to the kitchen immediately after coming in.
Today is her fifth day of practicing cooking. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know if her talent is not in cooking or if cooking is really too difficult. Anyway, after learning for a few days, she can finally make dishes that are not bad.
She calculated the time and thought that Lu Chen would not be back until tomorrow at the latest, so she was practicing intensively today. Who knew that he would be back today.
The food in her pot seemed to have become mushy because she had just gone out to open the door for Lu Chen!
When Meng Yinyin opened the lid of the pot, she was almost in tears.
Her cooking skills were mediocre to begin with, and now she’s even worse. When will she be able to make Lu Chen eat the lunch and dinner she loves and then influence him?
For a moment, Meng Yinyin felt that the road ahead was long and she could not see any hope at all.
After Lu Chen entered the yard, he naturally smelled the burnt smell, and finally figured out what Meng Yinyin was doing before he entered the room. He quickly put down his luggage and went to the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw Meng Yinyin looking at the pot with a tearful face, and he knew that something must have gone wrong with the meal.
Sure enough, when I got closer, I saw that the stewed potato soup in the pot had dried up long ago, and even the potatoes near the bottom of the pot had turned burnt black.
Noticing Lu Chen's figure in the corner of her eye, Meng Yinyin instinctively covered the pot and said, "There is no pot!"
Lu Chen reluctantly took the spatula from her hand and said, "I brought you a gift. It's in the bag. Come and have a look, okay?"
He did not continue with the confusing topic, but cleverly changed the subject, and it was the topic that Meng Yinyin was most interested in.
Sure enough, when Meng Yinyin heard that Lu Chen brought her a gift, she was attracted.
"Really? I'll go see!"
No one doesn't like to receive gifts, and Meng Yinyin is certainly no exception. Moreover, she hasn't been to the city for a long time, and she is even more curious about what Lu Chen brought back from the city for her.
As a result, Lu Chen easily regained control of everything in the kitchen.
After Meng Yinyin left, he opened the lid of the pot and looked at the black food in the pot. It clearly did not look appetizing, but as he looked at it, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
This is what she did.
Then Lu Chen began to think of ways to save this pot of things.
Meng Yinyin also found the gift that Lu Chen brought her in the bag in his room. It was easy to find because he had specially wrapped the things he gave Meng Yinyin in a small bag, which was very cute. When she opened it, she saw that there were actually two hairpins inside.
Meng Yinyin fell in love with these two cute hairpins at first sight and pinned them on her head.
She actually had a lot of hairpins when she was at home before, but because the incident happened so suddenly, she was only focused on packing big items like clothes, and actually forgot to bring things like hairpins. Although it’s not a big deal without hairpins, who doesn’t want to be a little princess with exquisite hair?
Therefore, it can be said that these two hairpins from Lu Chen completely touched Meng Yinyin's heart.
Meng Yinyin happily returned to the house and looked in the mirror. She found that the hairpin really suited her. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled foolishly for a while. At the same time, the resentment towards Lu Chen in her heart disappeared immediately.
Well, since he gave her such a nice gift, she didn't care whether he learned the smooth talk from others in the county.
Soon, Lu Chen prepared the big pot of stewed potatoes and called Meng Yinyin to eat.
While Meng Yinyin was answering, she remembered that Yu Xiaoyu would probably be getting off work soon, so she immediately ran to the gate and planned to open it in advance.
Now that Lu Chen is back home, she is no longer afraid of Song Yue!
But as soon as she opened the door, she found a strange man standing outside the yard with his arms folded, looking inexplicably.
Meng Yinyin was startled out of nowhere and subconsciously wanted to shrink back, but when she realized Lu Chen was right behind her, she asked boldly.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
Dong Qingcheng had just glanced at Meng Yinyin from a distance, but now that he was looking at her from such a close distance, he realized how beautiful Meng Yinyin was. He raised his eyebrows and thought that Lu Chen had good taste.
"I'm looking for you. You must be Meng Yinyin, Meng Zhiqing."
Looking for her?
Meng Yinyin blinked, and the defensiveness in her eyes suddenly deepened.
"I don't know you, why are you looking for me?"
But judging from the military uniform he's wearing, he probably isn't a bad guy.
Because of her brother, Meng Yinyin has always admired and liked soldiers, but she had never met this man before, and he came to her right away and asked for her. How could she not think too much?
Dong Qingcheng didn't keep the question secret and said directly, "Meng Zhiqing, I want to talk to you about the life experience of your partner Lu Chen."
