After dinner, the children played in the yard, and the adults sat in the yard to enjoy the cool and chat. Lu Cheng leaned back in his chair, looking at the stars in the sky, and said to Lin Yuexi: "Yuexi, this time I come back, I feel that everything is different.
Although I have been away for five years, the folks are still so welcoming. It’s great to have you by my side.”
Lin Yuexi wanted to say, "You only now realize how good it is to have me by your side. What were you doing before? The poor original owner was tortured to death by your parents and relatives."
In the end, she didn't say it.
That’s all! In a few days, the Lu family’s old house will cause trouble again! This time, let him see the true colors of his parents, brother and sister-in-law for himself!
That day, Lu Jingyi heard that her third brother had returned, and used the excuse to come and see Lu Cheng. However, as soon as she saw Xiao Yichen, she couldn't take her eyes off him.
Lu Cheng only knew that Lu Jingyi was only sixteen years old and didn't have any ideas. He just introduced her to Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan as his sister Jingyi.
Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan also greeted her generously and introduced themselves.
This matter is over.
No one paid attention to this, but Lin Yuexi predicted that Liu Cuihua would come over to make trouble in two days. However, she never expected that Lu Jingyi would set his sights on Xiao Yichen, and then a ridiculous thing happened.
It is said that Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan were born and raised in the city and have never experienced this kind of rural life.
It was the rice planting season in May. Although Lin Yuexi had returned, she did not go to work because she had to take care of Lu Cheng and the two children.
After hearing this, Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan rushed to report to Captain Li, saying that they wanted to go to the fields to plant rice and earn work points for Lin Yuexi.
Lin Yuexi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she couldn't stop them, so she could only let them do what they wanted.
Captain Li knew that these two people were sent by Jing City to escort Lu Cheng, and he knew that their origin must be not simple, so he went to the fields to guide them personally.
When Lu Jingyi saw that Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan were going to the fields to earn work points, she stopped going to school and said she wanted to stay and earn work points for her family.
In fact, from the moment Lu Jingyi saw them, it was as if a lively little rabbit had lived in her heart, beating non-stop.
Especially Xiao Yichen, his deep eyes and upright posture made him like a prince who walked out of a story in Lu Jingyi's eyes.
So, when she heard that they were going to the fields to plant rice and earn work points, she, who had originally not been very interested in planting rice, suddenly became interested.
"Mom, I also want to earn work points, so I won't go to school these days." Lu Jingyi mustered up the courage to say to Liu Cuihua.
When Liu Cuihua heard this, her eyes widened. This girl usually feared hardship and fatigue, and she insisted on going to school in order to avoid working. How come the sun rose from the west today? "Girl, are you up to something again?"
Before Lu Jingyi could answer, Li Xiuying beside her seemed to see through everything.
She knew in her heart that her sister-in-law had taken a fancy to the two young men from the city, and thought that if she could develop further with them, the family would benefit.
So, she quickly winked at Liu Cuihua and said, "Mother, since Jingyi wants to earn work points, let her go. It's just a few days off, and it won't delay her studies much."
Although Liu Cuihua was still a little confused, when she saw Li Xiuying's eyes, she seemed to understand something and nodded in agreement.
After getting permission, Lu Jingyi happily ran to the brigade headquarters to find Captain Li.
Captain Li looked at this little girl who usually never did any housework and had no idea what was going on in her mind.
He thought she had suddenly grown up and wanted to contribute to the family, so he agreed without hesitation and arranged for her to live on the same land with Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan.
"Uncle Li, I will definitely plant the rice seedlings well!" Lu Jingyi was so happy that she almost jumped up, thinking that now she had the chance to get close to them.
On the day of transplanting rice seedlings, Lu Jingyi got up early, combed her hair carefully, and put on the dress she thought was the most beautiful. Although it was just a plain coarse cloth dress in the eyes of others, it had a different meaning in her heart.
When she arrived at the edge of the field and saw Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan rolling up their trouser legs and preparing to go to the field, Lu Jingyi's heart began to pound again.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then followed him down to the field.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Gao, I'm here to help you!" Lu Jingyi shouted at them with a smile on her face, trying to attract their attention with her enthusiasm.
When Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan saw her, they also smiled friendly and said, "Jingyi sister, didn't Cheng say you were going to school? Why are you in the fields?"
"I...I...want to help reduce the burden on my family..." Lu Jingyi said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Sister Jingyi is great! She knows how to share the burden of the family at such a young age." Xiao Yichen said immediately.
But I thought to myself, it seems that Brother Cheng has a good upbringing, even his sister is so sensible.
But Lu Jingyi had always been spoiled by Liu Cuihua and had never planted rice seedlings before, so how could she do it?
She imitated others, picked up a handful of seedlings, bent down and tried to stick them neatly into the mud, but the seedlings in her hands were like disobedient children, either being stuck crookedly or floating on the water.
"Ouch!" Lu Jingyi accidentally slipped and almost fell in the field, causing people around her to burst into laughter.
Her face turned red instantly. She glanced secretly at Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan and found that they were also looking at her. She felt even more embarrassed.
"Sister Jingyi, please be careful." Gao Lechuan said with a smile, with a hint of concern in his tone.
After hearing this, Lu Jingyi felt warm at heart, and felt that her embarrassment was not so unbearable anymore.
She gritted her teeth and secretly vowed to learn how to plant rice. She must not embarrass herself in front of them and must leave a good impression in front of them.
So, she began to observe Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan's movements carefully, and saw that they were now very skilled, and each seedling was firmly inserted into the mud and arranged neatly.
Lu Jingyi felt that by imitating them, she slowly found the trick and became more and more competent at it.
As time passed, the sun gradually rose higher, and the scorching sunlight sprinkled on the fields, making people feel extremely stuffy.
Lu Jingyi's forehead was covered with sweat, and the clothes on her back were soaked with sweat, but she had no intention of giving up.
While planting rice, she found topics to chat with Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan.
"Brother Xiao, what do you usually do every day in the army?" Lu Jingyi asked curiously.
Xiao Yichen smiled and replied: "Jingyi, instead of asking us about this, you might as well ask your third brother. We are the soldiers under your third brother..."
"Brother Xiao, is this true or false? Is my brother really that capable?"
"Yes! Even though he can't stand up now, we were never his match in the past, right?"
