Chapter 65
The news that Lu Chen had successfully captured the commune's tractor driver quickly spread throughout the commune, not to mention their brigade.
Some people in the brigade naturally felt unconvinced. After all, although Lu Chen's life was good now, in their impression, he was still that unpopular young man. As a result, now he not only lived in a big house, but also had a cute educated youth girlfriend, and his brother-in-law was still in the army, but Lu Chen's behavior was still similar to before, so no one felt that he had changed much.
It was only after the news of his becoming a tractor driver came out that everyone suddenly realized that Lu Chen's current identity and situation were really different from the past.
Of course, some people felt sad in their hearts, but there were also many people who felt happy and proud of this news.
After all, there are several brigades under their commune. As a result, people from other brigades did not get this lucrative job, but people from their brigade got the job. How could they not be happy?
If the tractor drivers are part of their team, then it would be much more convenient for them to do anything in the future.
This is the legendary saying that it is easy to become an official if you have someone in the court!
Maybe they can take a free tractor ride wherever they go in the future.
When they thought of this, everyone started thinking about building a good relationship with Lu Chen!
The next day after Lu Chen received the notice from the captain, he went to the commune with the captain to deal with related matters.
The tractor hasn't arrived yet, but Lu Chen has to fill out the relevant procedures and information first. While he was out, the others didn't know about it. So when Meng Yinyin was at home, she heard a sudden knock on the door. She was startled, worried that Lu Chen had forgotten something.
As a result, just as she walked into the yard, she heard the voice of an aunt who was unfamiliar to her, shouting into the yard.
"Is Lu Chen at home?"
Are you here to find Lu Chen?
Since they were not looking for her, Meng Yinyin was too lazy to go out, so she just stood in the yard and replied to the person outside.
'He's out!'
Meng Yinyin thought that the person outside came to see Lu Chen because he had something to tell him, but she had already explained clearly that Lu Chen was not at home, so she guessed that the person outside would leave.
What she didn't expect was that the aunt outside didn't seem disappointed when she heard that Lu Chen was not at home. Instead, she continued to shout inside with a smile.
"Well, since Lu Chen is not at home, it's the same if I talk to you, Meng Zhiqing."
Tell her?
Meng Yinyin widened her eyes slightly, her eyes full of confusion.
"Meng Zhiqing, please open the door quickly. I just need to go to work after talking to you about this matter!"
Hearing the anxious tone of the person outside, and that she was an aunt, Meng Yinyin hesitated for a while, but finally walked forward and opened the door.
When she opened it, she found that the person standing outside was an auntie she had some impression of.
Before, when she was working with everyone in the educated youth team, she had seen this auntie several times during the morning meetings. Almost every time she saw this auntie, she could see her chattering and gossiping with the people around her. Once, she even heard this auntie saying bad things about Lu Chen to others.
So, now that she came to find Lu Chen with a smiling face, Meng Yinyin found it strange no matter how she looked at it.
However, the lady pretended not to notice the suspicion in Meng Yinyin's eyes and still had a bright smile on her face. She didn't even know if it was Meng Yinyin's illusion, but she saw some flattery in the smile of the lady in front of her.
To please?
Didn't she dislike Lu Chen very much before? Why did she come to his house and behave like this now? It was really weird.
After hesitating for a moment, Meng Yinyin finally asked.
"Uh, auntie, what do you want to tell me?"
"Oh, it's not a big deal!"
As the auntie spoke, she handed a basket in her hand to Meng Yinyin.
"These are vegetables that we grow ourselves. There are too many to eat, so I hurried over to bring some to you and Lu Chen!"
"Meng Zhiqing, don't think too much. I brought the food here not for any other reason. We simply couldn't finish it ourselves, so I brought it to you. I really don't have any other intentions!"
Meng Yinyin: “….”
But you don't look like you have no other intentions now.
She looked at the lady hesitantly, then decisively returned the basket to her.
"Auntie, we have enough food at home, so you should take these dishes back. We don't need them."
You must be kidding. How could she dare to accept such dish with unknown purpose, especially when this lady clearly had ulterior motives. If she accepted it, who knows what kind of trouble would happen!
When the aunt saw that she didn't accept it, she was naturally unhappy.
After all, Lu Chen is now the tractor driver of the commune, and he will definitely be able to do a lot of things in the future. They must maintain a good relationship with Lu Chen now. Even though this is just a small basket of vegetables, it is a chance for Lu Chen to feel their good intentions!
Seeing that Meng Yinyin didn't want it, the aunt was about to say something, but unfortunately Meng Yinyin was very vigilant. Although she didn't know her intention, she quickly found an excuse that there was something urgent in the house, and then closed the gate, successfully locking out the aunt who wanted to continue persuading her to accept the things.
After closing the door, Meng Yinyin walked towards the room with a frown and shaking head.
This person is so strange. She always feels like something bad is going to happen to him.
It was not known whether Meng Yinyin's intuition was too accurate or what, but shortly after she returned to the room, she heard the sound of knocking on the yard door again, and just like before, the person outside was calling Lu Chen's name.
Why is someone looking for Lu Chen again?
Although she was confused, Meng Yinyin finally went out. Just as she was about to continue explaining why Lu Chen was not at home, she saw another unfamiliar figure, but he was holding the same thing in his hand.
Meng Yinyin: “???”
Could this person also be here to deliver food to them?
As if to verify Meng Yinyin's guess, the next second, the man briefly explained the purpose of his visit and handed the dishes in his hand to Meng Yinyin.
Meng Yinyin: "...Thank you, we have enough food at home."
Then, without waiting for the man to say anything, he quickly closed the door.
What is going on? How come one day someone would come to deliver food to them?
Meng Yinyin walked inside in confusion, but after taking two steps, she seemed to suddenly react and realized something, which was -
Could it be that these people are here to seek Lu Chen’s connections or to make arrangements?
After all, Lu Chen had just gotten the job of tractor driver, and right after that, people who had looked down on him before came to his house and gave him things. It seemed like they were doing this to please him!
You wouldn't have guessed it, but everyone here is pretty well versed in the ways of the country folk.
Meng Yinyin sighed in her heart, but after what happened to her parents before, she became more cautious and wary about stuffing things into people's pockets. Not to mention that Lu Chen was not at home, even if Lu Chen was at home, she would never let him accept these things!
It’s better to be safe than sorry. If these things get revealed in the future, it will be the end of us!
However, even though Meng Yinyin turned away the two people who came to her house, the others still wanted to get along well with Lu Chen. It was just that everyone had to go to work for the next period of time, so Lu Chen's house was temporarily quiet.
Meng Yinyin thought about talking to Lu Chen about this when he came back at noon. After all, he might not have experienced these things before. In order to prevent him from making mistakes in the future, she felt that she should still remind him first.
After waiting for a long time until noon, Meng Yinyin did not wait for Lu Chen to come back, but waited for Dou Zhengrong instead.
The moment she opened the gate and saw Dou Zhengrong, Meng Yinyin was stunned for a moment. She never expected that Dou Zhengrong would take the initiative to come to them, especially since she had just gone to their house and said those words yesterday. She thought that since then, Dou Zhengrong and Lin Xiuzhi would take the initiative to stay away from them, but she didn't expect him to come today.
Meng Yinyin: “…”
So what she did yesterday, didn't it have any effect at all?
The change in Meng Yinyin's expression was very obvious, but unfortunately, Dou Zhengrong didn't have the spare energy to explore Meng Yinyin's mood at this moment. He looked anxious, as if he had something urgent to do, and spoke directly to Meng Yinyin.
"Meng Zhiqing, I may need to trouble you and Lu Chen with something. Although I know my request is a bit presumptuous, I still want you to help me."
"Ah?" Meng Yinyin was even more confused by his request.
"I have a letter in my hand. It's a very important letter. Can you please ask Brother Lu Chen to help me mail it in town?"
As he spoke, Dou Zhengrong took out the letter he had written.
The envelope was very thin, but it was sealed tightly. Meng Yinyin had no idea what was written inside, but the only thing she was sure of was that this letter must be very important to Dou Zhengrong.
