Lu Xiaoqin's face flushed red instantly, and she lowered her head, her voice barely audible.
“I, Dongzi, am a very good person, and Grandma Xu is also very kind.”
This means "willing".
"Hmm, Dongzi is a nice person. If you really want to date her, then go for it. You're an adult this year, so you can make your own decisions from now on. You don't need to ask our opinions on everything."
"Brother, we don't know anything, so we still need your and sister-in-law's help to make decisions."
Lu Yuan remained noncommittal. He was fine with things that weren't too troublesome, but he wasn't really willing to get involved in things that were too troublesome.
"Hey big brother, I'm just worried that Dongzi and Grandma Xu will look down on me for having to support my younger brother. Xiaojun is still young, and I can't ignore things like his schooling and marriage in the future."
He's a responsible person, much better than his parents.
Sending her younger brother to school is nothing special. As for getting him married, in Lu Yuan's opinion, if Lu Xiaojun is capable, he won't need his older sister's help much. If he's not capable, even if she helps him get married, he'll still have a lot of things to do with his older sister in the future, and she probably won't be able to help him all the time.
However, these are not things he should worry about.
He said, "You can explain things to Dongzi and see if he minds."
"I understand, brother."
Before dinner, Lu Guoan and Zhang Yongan arrived at Lu Yuan's house. The two had a lot of things to discuss with him, the first being the newly proposed matter of setting up a supply and marketing cooperative.
"What reason should we give to the commune leaders for our application?"
Lu Yuandao said, "Let's say there's a senior cadre sanatorium here, and we need to set up a supply and marketing cooperative to make things easier for them. Besides, our own brigade has quite a few people, so it's reasonable for us to request one."
Lu Guoan nodded, "Then who should we choose as the sales clerk?"
"Isn't this a matter for your brigade leaders? Just choose whoever you think is suitable."
"And how is your wife?" Lu Guoan and Zhang Yongan asked in unison.
Lu Yuan laughed, "Did you two plan this?"
However, she still waved her hand.
“My wife has three children and also needs to help my father make medicine often. She really doesn’t have the time or energy. You should choose someone else.”
“This sales clerk not only needs to be of good character, but also needs to be literate and able to do math. There isn’t anyone suitable like that in our village,” Lu Guoan said.
Lu Yuandao said, "If there isn't a suitable one in the village, we'll choose one from among the educated youth."
“The educated youth were even worse off. Those with good character were all selected to work in breeding farms, pig farms, or sanatoriums. The rest were all mediocre,” Lu Guoan said.
Lu Yuan found it amusing; it was fortunate that those educated youth hadn't heard his words, otherwise they would have been furious.
"Well, I think we should let A Yuan's wife be the saleswoman. She doesn't need to be there all day. Just spend an hour or two each day."
Lu Yuan still refused outright, "Really, it won't work. My wife is already busy enough every day. Don't assign her any other work. You can choose someone else."
Seeing his resolute attitude, Lu Guoan and Zhang Yongan exchanged a glance and did not press him further, instead changing the subject.
"Another batch of rabbits is ready for market. When are we selling them?"
"The pig farm is all set up, when can we bring the piglets back?"
"Do you think we could organize the villagers to go up the mountain and hunt a few wild boars?"
...
Lu Yuan pinched the bridge of his nose. These two old men were not cute at all. He had just returned home and hadn't even eaten yet, and they were already making him worry about the brigade's affairs.
Fortunately, Xu Dong and Lu Yuanchao had told him about these things beforehand, and he had already thought about how to arrange things on the way back.
"Tomorrow you go to the commune to ask for piglets, and while you're at it, talk to the commune leaders about the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll contact the provincial cannery, and we'll give them all the rabbits from now on."
"As for going hunting in the mountains, I don't have time for that right now. I'll think about it after I finish what I'm doing."
"Okay, let's do it this way."
With Lu Yuan back, they seemed to have found their pillar of support.
That evening, Lu Yuan also met with Su Tingxiao and the others from the special forces team. The special forces team has now grown from 4 members to 16.
Although the number of people was small, they were all elites, but they lacked martial ethics.
As soon as Lu Yuan arrived, 16 people surrounded and attacked him. Two fists can't fight four hands. How could he possibly deal with such an elite team by himself?
"Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? We're all on the same side."
"Director Lu, Captain Su said that even all 16 of us combined might not be a match for you, so we all want to prove it," Qian Bing said.
Holy crap, is Su Tingxiao trying to scheme against him and make him look foolish?
Damn it, I'll give it my all!
With a nimble movement, Lu Yuan darted directly in front of Su Tingxiao. The other man raised his hand to grab Lu Yuan's throat, but Lu Yuan bent down, used a quick move like a monkey stealing a peach, and then kicked Xu Guowu away. He successfully broke through the encirclement and ran away as if he had stepped on wheels of fire.
Only the sound continues to echo.
“You guys need to train harder. Even 16 people couldn’t hold me back. I ran 20 kilometers with a 20-kilogram load.”
"Captain Su, should we give chase?"
Su Tingxiao clenched his buttocks, though he actually wanted to cover his crotch, but he held back out of pride, his mind racing with screams.
"What are you chasing? Do you think you can catch up with me?"
If you listen carefully, you can even hear a vibrato.
The other 15 people suppressed their laughter; Director Lu's skills were indeed extraordinary, though a bit scathing.
They definitely can't catch up. They've already witnessed that speed; probably no one can keep up. Even Captain Su and Vice Captain Chen would likely be outmatched.
Now they have to believe that even 16 people combined are probably no match for him, and even Su Tingxiao is more convinced that his opinion is correct.
For no other reason than that the other party had almost injured him in one move despite facing so many people. If it were anyone else, let alone stealing the peach, they would probably have a hard time even getting close to him.
He was certain that the other party had shown mercy; otherwise, they wouldn't have just hissed and roared, they would have been completely wiped out.
With a stern face, he gave the order: "Everyone, 20 kilograms of weight, 20 kilometers. Assemble and depart in 5 minutes."
"yes!"
When Lu Yuan got home, he was in a great mood and hugged his wife, telling her about what had just happened.
The two babies were already asleep, while the third baby listened with his eyes half-closed, his chubby little face twitching wildly.
His father is just... a jerk!
Wen Moxue giggled, "You're so mean, using dirty tricks!"
"There's nothing I can do. There are too many of them. If I were to fight them seriously, I would be crushed to pieces."
"No, I need to go into the space to practice my skills. Wife, come with me. I seem to remember that the Gao and Xiao families left behind a lot of ancient books, including martial arts manuals. I'll go find them and see if they're useful."
Sanbao suddenly opened his eyes, his obsidian-like pupils sparkling brightly. He rolled over and rolled from the head of the kang (a heated brick bed) to his father's side. He stretched out his little arm and picked his father's nose with his little hand.
The next second, he appeared in the space along with his parents.
