"Chao Li, you little brat, what are you doing? You scared me!"
Mother Lu was startled and subconsciously turned her head to look behind her. The brat suddenly exclaimed. She thought there was something behind her! "Mom, you don't need to brush this hat. It's clean!"
Lu Chaoli held the hat in his arms as if it were a treasure, and finally put it on his head under the gaze of Lu's mother.
"Mom, I'm leaving!"
Lu Chaoli greeted Lu's mother and walked towards the door.
Mother Lu stared at his back and muttered, "He keeps talking nonsense every day. I don't know who he took after!"
Father Lu, who was eating in the main hall, heard Mother Lu's words and whispered, "Who else can he look like? He doesn't look like me!"
"Lu Youcai, what are you mumbling about in your room?"
Father Lu quickly stretched his neck and replied, "Nothing, I told you not to wash yet, go into the house and eat, or the food will get cold!"
——
“Boss!”
Seeing Lu Chaoli standing at the door, Hu Zi waved at him, then turned to the people on the ox cart and said, "Sister Fang, that is our boss. Our boss is Lu Chaoli!"
Sister Fang nodded: "I know him."
Lu Chaoli managed the pig farm in perfect order when he was in his twenties. Not only was he young and capable, he was also warm and polite. The uncles and aunts in the village all liked him very much.
They often mention Lu Chaoli and ask their children to take him as an example and emulate him. Sister Fang's parents are no exception and often mention him. Although they have never met him many times, Sister Fang has always known about such a person.
After hearing Hu Zi's voice, Lu Chaoli, who was poking a stone with his toes, looked up and waved at them.
Hu Zi drove the ox cart to a stop in front of Lu Chaoli and said with a smile, "Boss, let me introduce you, this is Sister Fang!"
"Hello."
Lu Chaoli nodded slightly to Sister Fang on the ox cart.
"Hello, Boss."
When they met face to face for the first time, Sister Fang didn't know how to address Lu Chaoli, so she just followed Hu Zi and called him that.
Hu Zi and Lu Chaoli both laughed, and Sister Fang lowered her head embarrassedly.
"Boss, now there's one more person calling you Boss!"
Lu Chaoli patted Hu Zi's shoulder and said, "Since my sister-in-law calls me Boss, I have to take care of her if she is bullied in the future."
Hu Zi understood what Lu Chaoli meant and patted his chest immediately: "Don't worry, Boss, I will never bully Sister Fang! If you disobey me, I will let you deal with me!"
"Go sit in the back and I'll drive the cattle."
"Yes, sir!"
Hu Zi saluted Lu Chao in a proper manner, then put the small stick for driving cattle aside and turned to sit next to Sister Fang.
Lu Chaoli sat at the front of the ox cart and said to the two of them, "Hold on tight."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the reins and drove the cow towards the educated youth institute.
At that time, the educated youth institute.
"Yuanyuan, are you feeling better?"
Jiang Li sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the curled-up Xu Yuanyuan with a worried look on her face.
Xu Yuanyuan comforted him, "I'm fine. I just caught a cold and my stomach hurts a little. It will be fine after a while."
"I'll get you another cup of hot water."
Jiang Li was about to get up when Xu Yuanyuan grabbed her hand and said, "No need. I'm really fine. I'm much better now after drinking some water. It's almost time. Go out and wait for Comrade Xiao Lu."
Xu Yuanyuan urged Jiang Li to go out and wait for Lu Chaoli.
"Oh my dear, you have already promised me, how can you go back on your word? I'm really fine, I don't need you to accompany me, go out and wait for Comrade Xiao Lu!"
Xu Yuanyuan said as she sat up from the bed and pushed Jiang Li's arm.
Jiang Li was still a little hesitant, and muttered: "Why did you suddenly have a stomachache?"
"Go to the town first and scout the way. We can go there together next time. You promised Comrade Xiao Lu last night. He might have been looking forward to it the whole night. I don't want to be the one who spoils his fun!"
At Xu Yuanyuan's insistence, Jiang Li finally left the educated youth institute to wait for Lu Chaoli.
After watching her leave, Xu Yuanyuan, who had been curled up on the bed suffering from stomachache, suddenly sat up, threw off the blanket on her body and fanned her face with her hands.
It's so hot that she's dying!
However, after finally sending Jiang Li away successfully, Xu Yuanyuan grinned.
Xiao Jiang and Xiao Lu were having dinner, so she didn't want to follow them and spoil their fun! That's right, she had been planning since Jiang Li told Xu Yuanyuan about it last night. She pretended to have a stomachache early this morning, and in order to make it look more realistic, she ran to the toilet several times.
Fortunately, Xiao Jiang believed it and went to the town with Xiao Lu and the others.
Xu Yuanyuan is an experienced person and knows that at this time Xiao Jiang and Xiao Lu should have more opportunities to be alone and get to know each other better.
She will be leaving in five years. If she is lucky enough to see Xiao Jiang find happiness that she can entrust her life to, she will feel relieved.
Jiang Li had just walked out of the Youth League Institute and not far away when she saw Lu Chaoli.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang!"
When Lu Chaoli saw Jiang Li, he waved to her. Hu Zi and Fang Meime, who were sitting in the back of the ox cart and talking, subconsciously looked over.
"Little Jiang?"
Sister Fang's eyes lit up.
Jiang Li trotted towards Lu Chaoli and saw Sister Fang sitting on the back of the ox cart.
She was surprised and asked, "Xiaofang?"
"Do you know each other?"
Lu Chaoli looked at Jiang Li in surprise.
Jiang Li and Sister Fang nodded: "I know them."
What a coincidence, Hu Zi's sister Fang is Zhou Xiaofang, whom Jiang Li just met yesterday.
"That's great, I have another acquaintance!"
Lu Chaoli smiled and looked behind Jiang Li, "Why is Comrade Jiang alone? Isn't there another comrade who wants to go to the town together?"
Jiang Li explained: "Yuanyuan caught a cold last night and her stomach is uncomfortable, so she won't go with us today."
Lu Chaoli's already happy mood became even happier after hearing this.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, come up quickly."
Lu Chaoli said as he got off the ox cart and took the cross-body bag from Jiang Li.
Jiang Li finally sat down next to Xiao Fang. After seeing Jiang Li, Xiao Fang leaned towards her and held her arm.
"What a coincidence, Xiao Jiang. I didn't expect that it was you and Yuanyuan who went to the town with us."
Xiaofang smiled and looked at Jiang Li.
"I didn't expect you to come to town with us."
Jiang Li smiled and held Xiaofang's hand, winked at her, and then turned her head to look at Hu Zi beside her.
Coincidentally, Hu Zi also looked towards her at this moment, and their eyes met in mid-air in an instant...
