Chapter 61
What is Lu Chen’s background?
Meng Yinyin was surprised for a moment, and her confusion deepened.
She had been in the Nanjiao Brigade for so long, and after having experienced the experience of working with Lu Chen to take everything that belonged to him from Lu Dashan, she thought she had a clear understanding of Lu Chen's background.
But now that Dong Qingcheng said this, it seemed as if there was something she didn't know.
Could it be that Lu Chen was hiding something from me? But even if he was hiding something, how did this person in front of me know?
Meng Yinyin's heart was shaken, but she finally made the decisive choice to believe Lu Chen.
"I will ask him about Lu Chen myself. Comrade, if you have nothing else to do, please go back first."
Dong Qingcheng didn't expect Meng Yinyin to give such an answer. He thought she would ask him about the relevant matters out of curiosity.
These two people were more unexpected than the other.
However, Dong Qingcheng didn't really want to tell Meng Yinyin about the matter. After all, things hadn't been clarified yet, and if he told her, it might cause unnecessary trouble. As for why he came to find Meng Yinyin, it was naturally...
"Comrade Dong!"
Sure enough, a low voice came from the yard.
Dong Qingcheng looked up and successfully saw Lu Chen standing there staring at him, his eyes dark and filled with warning.
Dong Qingcheng shrugged at him and said deliberately to Lu Chen.
"Since you don't want to talk to me, I can only talk to your family. After all, as your family member, she should have the right to know."
"But I'm not sure if I'll accidentally say something wrong."
Otherwise, he would have to wait and harass Meng Yinyin all the time.
Dong Qingcheng knew that what he did was shameless, but he could no longer care about that.
They have been searching for the truth for more than 20 years. Now there is an opportunity that he must seize and do everything he can to solve the mystery!
The two people's eyes were silently competing in the air.
Dong Qingcheng was gambling on how much Lu Chen cared about the educated young man Meng in front of him.
Finally, when he saw Lu Chenchong say "OK" to him in a deep voice, he knew that he had made the right bet and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Meng Yinyin looked at Dong Qingcheng on the left and Lu Chen on the right, having no idea what the two of them were talking about.
Lu Chen walked over and said to Meng Yinyin, "You go in and eat first. I'll talk to him."
It was obvious that the two of them had something to say, but Meng Yinyin didn't say much. She turned around and went into the house to eat.
After her figure disappeared, Lu Chen called Dong Qingcheng to go out.
He took him to a bamboo forest not far from home. There was no one around, so it was a good place to talk.
After standing still, Dong Qingcheng restrained his previous deliberately shameless expression and spoke to Lu Chen seriously.
"I want to apologize to you and that educated youth Meng for what happened just now, but Lu Chen, please understand my painstaking efforts. Our Dong family has been looking for my aunt for many years, and I must get to the bottom of this matter."
Since he had already agreed to talk to him, Lu Chen no longer resisted, but he just didn't want to listen to his nonsense.
He interrupted him and spoke directly.
"Let's get down to business. What do you want to know? I'll tell you what I know."
Seeing this, Dong Qingcheng did not delay any longer and quickly asked all the questions he wanted to know.
All he wanted to know was how Lu Chen's mother died, whether her family was still around, and her experiences growing up.
It’s a pity that among so many questions, the only question Lu Chen could answer was the one he wanted to answer, which was that his mother died of dystocia while giving birth to him. As for the rest, he knew nothing about it.
Dong Qingcheng never expected things to turn out like this. After hearing Lu Chen's words, he was silent for a long time before he finally spoke with difficulty.
"Then your mother's relatives......"
"no."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he added another sentence.
"I only had one grandfather, and he died before I was born. I have never seen or heard of the rest of them."
Dong Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and a certain premonition became stronger.
There is only one grandfather and no other relatives. Does that mean that Lu Chen’s grandfather might have been a lonely old man?
It’s a pity that his grandfather had passed away many years before Lu Chen was born, and his mother also died of dystocia, which meant that he had no chance to ask about any related matters.
Furthermore, Lu Chen's life was not easy after he was born. He was busy making a living and surviving was a problem. Naturally, he had no extra time to explore everything about his mother and grandfather.
It seemed that the clues ended here. Apart from knowing the cause of death of Lu Chen's mother and the general situation of her family, Dong Qingcheng had no other useful information. This made it impossible for him to determine whether Lu Chen's mother was his lost aunt.
Lu Chen naturally saw something from his frown, but unfortunately, he did not feel worried for Dong Qingcheng.
"I have told you everything you want to know, and please do what you should do."
Dong Qingcheng naturally knew what he should do, which was not to disturb Meng Yinyin.
He nodded, said just "OK", then left with a frown on his face and a melancholy look on his face.
Lu Chen stood there for a while, watching his back disappear from his sight before slowly turning around and going home.
As for whether Dong Qingcheng left disappointed or where he went, he didn't care at all.
When Lu Chen returned home, he heard two laughs coming from the yard at the door.
"Yinyin, your hairpin is so pretty. I wonder if Lu Chen has good taste."
"It's OK."
Although she said this, you can tell from her tone and expression that Meng Yinyin doesn't think the hairpin is okay, she thinks it's too good!
Of course Yu Xiaoyu would not expose her directly. She just made a face and smiled at her twice, and Meng Yinyin's cheeks turned red instantly.
The two girls were chattering and laughing, and Lu Chen silently raised his lips at the door, and the uneasiness in his heart finally subsided.
In fact, he was not sure whether Meng Yinyin would like the hair card he bought. He knew that she had high standards and his taste was poor, so he was actually very nervous when buying it.
But fortunately, he could hear that Meng Yinyin was not dissatisfied with the card issuance, so he felt relieved.
Just as he was about to go in, he suddenly heard Yu Xiaoyu change the topic. Her voice became a little lower and she asked Meng Yinyin mysteriously.
"By the way, Yinyin, when Lu Chen came back and saw you cooking for him, how did he react? Was he extremely happy?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen's feet froze in the air, his eyes filled with surprise.
Meng Yinyin was originally touching her hairpin happily, but when Yu Xiaoyu asked her this, she remembered the dark stewed potatoes in the pot, and her face immediately fell.
She sounded extremely depressed.
"Don't mention it. I was too embarrassed to tell him that I was learning to cook. The dishes I cooked two days ago were pretty good. But when he came back today, he saw that my face was dirty and the pot was burnt!"
It was really too embarrassing. Meng Yinyin would never tell Lu Chen that she was concentrating on learning how to cook, and she was cooking for him!
Yu Xiaoyu felt embarrassed just thinking about that scene, and quickly said, "Okay, then don't tell him yet. Wait until you make a delicious dish and tell him, and give him a surprise!"
This is the only way now. Unfortunately, after Lu Chen comes back, she probably won't have many opportunities to be the chef. Meng Yinyin couldn't help but feel a little worried.
What she didn't know was that Lu Chen at the gate of the courtyard had already known her plan and was finding it hard to be happy.
It turned out that during the time when he was away from home, not only he missed her, but Yinyin also missed him and even wanted to prepare a surprise for him.
This feeling of being remembered by others was unfamiliar to Lu Chen, but also a surprise.
Even if the food she cooked was terrible, she cooked it for him and she made it for him, so he thought it was definitely the most delicious food in the world!
However, thinking of what Meng Yinyin had just said, Lu Chen decided to pretend that he didn't know about it.
After he deliberately made a few noises at the door and made sure that the two people in the yard had heard it, he slowly walked in.
After entering, Meng Yinyin and Yu Xiaoyu did not continue the previous topic.
One greeted him politely, and the other looked up at him and asked about Dong Qingcheng.
"Have you dealt with your business?" Meng Yinyin looked at him curiously.
Lu Chen nodded and told him not to worry.
"He won't bother you anymore."
That wasn't what she meant, she was just very curious about what Dong Qingcheng meant by "Lu Chen's life experience".
But seeing that Yu Xiaoyu was still there, she could only swallow the question and decided to wait until there was no one else around to ask.
Yu Xiaoyu was also very considerate. After Lu Chen came back, apart from saying hello to him, he buried his head in cooking, trying to minimize his presence.
I just don’t know if it was her illusion. Why did she feel that today’s dishes disappeared so quickly?
Yu Xiaoyu finally raised her head in confusion, and saw that Lu Chen was also silent, but he picked up his chopsticks faster than anyone else, and he only ate one dish, which was the potatoes that still smelled burnt even after being rescued.
He didn't touch the side dishes at all, as if he hadn't eaten baked potatoes for 800 years. Which of meat and fresh vegetables is not more delicious than burnt potatoes?
Yu Xiaoyu: “?…”
She was thinking that as a guest, she should give the good things to Lu Chen, the host who had worked so hard for several days, but she didn't expect that he would only eat potatoes.
After being surprised for a moment, Yu Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
It seems that what Meng Yinyin said before was right. Although Lu Chen doesn't talk much and looks very cold, he is actually a very good person.
You see, isn't this just making the food better for the guests even if it means suffering yourself? You would rather eat that shit yourself and leave the good stuff for others.
Just because of his realization, Yu Xiaoyu firmly supports him and Meng Yinyin to be together!
In the end, Yu Xiaoyu ate the other delicious dishes and became more and more satisfied with Lu Chen. Even after the meal, when Lu Chen went to clean up and wash the dishes, she couldn't help but pull Meng Yinyin aside and said a few good words for him based on Lu Chen's behavior at the table just now.
Meng Yinyin's ears were almost ringing with her nagging about the coop.
"Okay, okay, I got it!"
It's just a meal, why does it feel like you've taken a drug?
Meng Yinyin couldn't help but mutter a few words in her heart, if Yu Xiaoyu knew Lu Chen's true face, she wondered if he would still admire him so much!
"By the way, Yinyin, are you going to tell Lu Chen about Song Yue's matter?"
Just as Meng Yinyin was silently complaining, Yu Xiaoyu spoke hesitantly.
She was stunned for a moment, and then her face showed some distress.
Of course she knew what Yu Xiaoyu was talking about, but how could she start? Should she just run to Lu Chen and say that Song Yue came to see her when he was away, and seemed to be planning to bully her?
Of course, the most important thing is that he didn't succeed that time, and she was rescued by Dou Zhengrong.
Thinking of Dou Zhengrong, Meng Yinyin couldn't help but think of the plot of the book.
This time she did not hesitate and shook her head decisively.
I won’t tell you, even if you kill me!
What she is most worried about now is that Lu Chen, Dou Zhengrong and Lin Xiuzhi will have too much contact with each other, and then everything will go according to the original plot. She would rather keep this matter to herself!
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Yu Xiaoyu did not say anything. After all, after Song Yue intercepted Meng Yinyin in the vegetable garden that day, there was no movement in the following few days. He was probably frightened and dared not do anything again. In this case, it should be okay not to tell Lu Chen.
Then she saw that it was getting late, so she went to Meng Yinyin's room to pack her things, said goodbye and returned to the educated youth point.
Now that the real "flower protector" is back, she must leave.
After sending Yu Xiaoyu away, although Meng Yinyin still felt a little uneasy if she didn't tell about the matter between Song Yue and Dou Zhengrong, thinking about the terrible plot, she still firmly chose not to tell Lu Chen about it.
What she didn't expect was that even though she didn't say it, Lu Chen still found out in the end.
......
The next day after Lu Chen returned home, he started working as usual in the brigade. The vacancies for tractor drivers had not been announced yet. The brigade commander said he would let him know as soon as the results were out, so he had to wait a little longer.
So Lu Chen could only hold back his nervousness and start working.
However, on his first day at work, he was stopped by Dou Zhengrong.
