Chapter 67
Lu Chen took a quick glance and saw four people standing next to the leader. From their attire, it was obvious that they came from well-off families, and their spirits and temperaments were not like those of ordinary people. Other people passing by could not help but cast their eyes on the four people next to the leader, but Lu Chen just took a quick glance and then looked away.
As Lu Chen walked towards the town leader, he didn't know that the four people opposite him were staring at him closely, and the excitement in their hearts was almost difficult to control.
picture!
So similar!
She really looks like my little daughter Dong Wenqi!
The moment Mr. Dong and Mrs. Dong saw Lu Chen, their eyes were slightly red. Dong Wen Qian beside them was also in an uneasy mood, but many truths have not been clarified yet. In addition, her son Dong Qingcheng had mentioned before that Lu Chen was resistant to him. Dong Wen Qian knew that they must remain calm and must not act rashly, otherwise Lu Chen would be even more disgusted with them.
That's why Dong Wenqian lowered her voice and spoke to her parents in time, quickly reminding them to stay calm and wait until everything was clear before telling Lu Chen.
In order to prevent Lu Chen from being on guard against them, they even did not allow their son Dong Qingcheng to appear here, lest he come and expose their identities and purpose.
As for now, they could only treat Lu Chen as a strange young man who came to greet them.
While Dong Wenqian was comforting the old couple of the Dong family, Lu Chen finally walked up to them.
The town leader didn't know the relationship between the two parties and simply thought that the Dong family came to do business. Although he was very curious about what business the family had to attend to in their small place after coming from the capital, since the family didn't say anything, he was too embarrassed to ask and could only receive them honestly.
When Lu Chen arrived, the town leader immediately asked him.
"Lu Chen, come quickly, your captain has told you about this, right?"
Lu Chen nodded upon hearing this.
After receiving his affirmative answer, the town leader breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled and said to both parties.
"Okay, okay, these are the comrades who came from the capital. They have some things to do here and would like to stay in your brigade for a while. We are all good comrades, so let's help each other, help each other!"
Lu Chen had already promised the captain, so it was impossible for him to refuse now. After the town leader briefly introduced the four people to him, he said to them, "Do you want to continue walking around the town, or go and rest first?"
The old couple of the Dong family had not dared to speak to Lu Chen easily because of their daughter's reminder, because they were afraid that they would not be able to hold back once they opened their mouths. But now that Lu Chen asked them, they naturally could not remain silent anymore.
Just as Mr. Dong was about to speak, Mrs. Dong next to him couldn't wait to respond first.
"Go back, go to your house!"
Not to mention that there was nothing to see in this town. Even if this was a prosperous town, with Lu Shen right in front of her, she wouldn't have the leisure to go shopping.
Now she just wanted to go to the place where Lu Chen and his mother lived and take a look!
Old Master Dong looked at her silently. He didn't expect that the first opportunity to talk to Lu Chen would be snatched away by his own wife. His expression was a little embarrassed.
How come she moves so fast?
But after thinking about it, he realized that she was his old wife after all. What else could he do? He could only endure it.
So he chose to take a back seat and say the second sentence to Lu Chen.
Before he could open his mouth, Lu Chen turned around and said something.
"Then let's go back now."
After saying that, he took a step forward and led the way.
It looked like he really had no intention of continuing to communicate with them and completely regarded himself as a ruthless guide machine.
The Dong family members and town leaders behind him were all stunned. They never expected Lu Chen to be so quiet and so cold.
When the town leaders realized this, they almost broke out in a cold sweat.
Although he had heard about Lu Chen's temper, and knew that he was just that kind of person, and that he didn't have any bad intentions, he just looked cold.
But he knew that the Dong family members in front of him didn't know that, and they must not think that Lu Chen was deliberately ignoring them!
Just when the town leaders were full of uneasiness, they found that the Dong family did not seem to take Lu Chen's indifference to heart. Instead, they followed Lu Chen's pace quite obediently.
Town leader: “?”
No, are all the big shots from the capital so good-tempered?
Unfortunately, no one could answer the town leader's question. He could only watch Lu Chen and the Dong family gradually walk away, and then quickly followed them.
Because there are two elderly people in the Dong family's group, if they rely solely on their own walking to reach the brigade, it is unknown how long it will take, and it will also be a challenge for the elderly. Therefore, the town leaders have already prepared two bicycles in advance, intending to let two people take the two elderly people back on bicycles respectively.
But there are five people in this group, so the distribution of bicycles is a bit worrying.
As for the town leader, he knew how Lu Chen and his team were going to march, so of course he would walk there himself.
As the host, Lu Chen naturally needs to take the Dong family with him.
So in the imagination of the town leaders, Lu Chen should be riding a bicycle to take one elderly person, the other car should be driven by Dong Wenqian or his son-in-law Deng Tao to take another elderly person, and the remaining person should walk with the town leaders.
So in the end, everyone discussed it and came to a conclusion that shocked the town leaders.
Because the Dong family finally agreed to let Grandpa Dong ride a bicycle to take Grandma Dong, and the other bicycle would be given to Lu Chen to drive alone. As for Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao, they would just walk with the town leaders.
The town leaders were stunned.
But just as he was about to say something else, he was interrupted by Dong Wen Qian.
She said with a smile.
"It's okay. I think the scenery here is really beautiful. I really want to take a walk. Besides, we've been sitting on the train for so long, so let's just consider it as exercise."
Deng Tao beside him also nodded in agreement.
Seeing that they both said so, the town leader had no choice but to say something else, and finally the matter was settled.
As for Lu Chen, seeing that they had already made up their minds, he said no more.
He knew very well that he would not be the one to make decisions among this group of people, so he only needed to listen to their instructions and there was no point in saying anything more.
Finally, Lu Chen rode his bicycle, followed by Grandpa Dong who was riding with Grandma Dong, and the three of them set off for the Nanjiao Brigade first.
Lu Chen didn't know the old man's strength, so he didn't ride very fast at first, and even slowed down intentionally. But later he found that although the old man looked old, he actually had good physical strength and pedaled the bicycle wheels very fast. So he and Wusheng sped up a little and led the way.
Mr. Dong and Mrs. Dong behind them were both elderly people who had seen a lot of the world. Of course, they also realized that Lu Chen deliberately slowed down to accommodate their behavior at the beginning. Although they didn't say anything, they felt comforted in their hearts.
This child does look cold, but he is actually very considerate.
Finally, after riding for a long time, the three arrived at the Nanjiao Brigade.
As they rode along, the old couple of the Dong family looked at the surrounding environment, and their mood gradually calmed down. Although this place is remote, it is actually beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. It is said that the land and water nurture the people, and people who grow up in this place should not be too bad.
If their daughter really grew up here, they would feel less love for her.
After Lu Chen brought the two people to the brigade, he did not take them home immediately, but took them to the brigade commander's house first.
He estimated the time. It was almost ten o'clock. He was not sure whether the captain was at home, but there was definitely someone at his house.
Sure enough, as soon as the three people stopped their bicycles, they were spotted by the captain's wife. She had good eyesight and guessed the identities of the old couple almost immediately, and quickly invited them into the house.
"Oh, my husband is probably still in the ground. You two can rest here for a while. I'll go and call him back!"
The captain's wife was very excited and wanted to run out in a hurry, but was interrupted by Lu Chen.
"I'll go."
Lu Chen said, "Auntie, you just stay at home."
The captain's wife thought that it was really inappropriate to leave the guest alone at home after her host had run away, so she could only smile apologetically at Lu Chen.
"Okay, Lu Chen, you're quick on your feet, so go call your uncle back."
Lu Chen nodded, then turned around and walked out to find the captain.
Mr. Dong and Mrs. Dong looked at each other and had the same idea in their minds.
They both realized that Lu Chen and the woman in front of them should have a good relationship. Perhaps they could take this opportunity to find out some things indirectly.
…
As for Lu Chen, he had no idea that the two elders from the Dong family had already started to extract information from the captain's wife, the host of the original post. He just wanted to find the captain as soon as possible so that he could entertain them first.
As for him, he only agreed to provide accommodation for this group of people, but did not say that he would entertain them.
Soon, Lu Chen found the team leader who was harvesting rice in the field with everyone else. After finding him, he told the team leader about the Dong family's visit.
Hearing this, the captain's face changed. He dropped what he was holding almost instantly, and then hurriedly took Lu Chen home.
The members around couldn't help but look at each other when they saw it, and at the same time, someone who was nearby heard what Lu Chen had just said.
"What do you mean? Why did I hear that Lu Chen went to pick up someone from the capital? What important person has come to our team?"
"From the capital! Oh my God, how come there are people from the capital in this poor place? What are they doing here? Could it be that our brigade is going to become prosperous?"
Everyone started to speculate and dream, but in addition to that, some people also thought of other aspects.
"Why didn't the captain tell us about such a big thing? He even asked Lu Chen to pick him up. What? Lu Chen is his biological son!"
This was a sour remark, but rarely did anyone refute it.
Yes, people coming from the capital are definitely not ordinary people. It is definitely a great opportunity to be able to come into contact with such people!
As a result, the captain didn't give such a good opportunity to anyone else, but gave it to Lu Chen. Why?
If you think about it, everyone feels a little unbalanced.
Among the crowd, there were two people whose eyes were so red that they were almost bleeding!
Those two people were none other than Lu Dashan and his wife who had been keeping a low profile for a long time.
