But before leaving, he touched the spoils in his arms, looked at the 'good old lady' Aunt Wu, and added, "Aunt, if nothing goes wrong, Brother Gangzi's job will be fine."
Gangzi is Aunt Wu’s son.
Inspired by his sister and having just gathered some information from his new friend Zhu Hong, he had already figured out why she was acting as a matchmaker, so after eating and drinking his fill, he blurted out some words.
When these words came out, Aunt Wu was shocked.
Aunt Wu had no time to hide her expression, and even felt a little stiff. "You, you idiot, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Qin never expected her to react so strongly.
He originally wanted to comfort and encourage her and leave after he finished speaking. Now it was awkward.
He scratched his eyebrows lightly with his index finger, and his eyes accidentally fell on the basket carried by Aunt Wu. It was covered with a blue cloth, and he didn't know what was inside.
He thought about it, and then thought about what to say and how to express his gratitude.
During the silence, there was a strange atmosphere between the two.
Aunt Wu noticed the hint in his eyes, gritted her teeth, and took out two newly bought tangerines from the basket and stuffed them into his hands, "Take them."
"Ah?" Lu Qin looked puzzled and looked down at the two extra tangerines in his hand.
"Take it," Aunt Wu pushed it into his arms again.
Lu Qin blinked. Could he say that he didn't ask for it?
Of course not.
He had no choice but to accept it and said according to his inner thoughts, "In that case, I won't be polite, aunt. Don't worry, aunt, I promise to keep my mouth shut and not say anything nonsense when I go back. Besides, this is also a kind of after-sales service. Besides, I have to thank you for making new friends today."
After this trip, she really lost both the wife and the army. Aunt Wu was so angry that she couldn't even calm down. After answering a few random questions, she left in a hurry.
After she left, Lu Qin brought the oranges in his arms close to his nose and sniffed them carefully. It was a unique fragrance. She could take out two at once. It seemed that Aunt Wu was living a good life in the city.
His goal is not high, so for now he will just surpass Aunt Wu.
Zhou Laigen was waiting under the big tree as usual. From a distance he saw the young man walking towards him leisurely with one hand in his pocket. Every movement of his showed his good mood.
After approaching, Lu Qin asked with a smile, "Uncle Lai Gen, have you eaten?"
Zhou Laigen coughed and was almost dazzled by his handsome face. He replied, "Eat it."
Lu Qin stopped and took out a handful of candies from his pocket and stuffed them into his pocket. "Uncle, have some candy."
He is offering flowers to Buddha.
As I recall, although Zhou Laigeng was not talkative and didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, he had kindly advised me several times, but I never listened.
Zhou Laigen lowered his head and saw the candy in his hand, and quickly refused, "No, no, take it back and give it to your nephew."
"I still have some," Lu Qin patted his pocket to convince him.
Zhou Laigen didn't know what to do for a moment. After repeated persuasion, thinking of his grandson at home, he reluctantly agreed, "Then uncle will accept it."
Lu Qin smiled, showing his big white teeth, and walked to an empty seat and sat down.
After he sat down, seeing how generous he was just now, the aunts waited and waited but didn't get what they wanted, so you poked me and I poked you again.
Finally, the always talkative and bold Liu Pandi was pushed out, "Lu Qin, where did you buy that candy?"
Lu Qin tried hard to identify who this person was. "Ah, isn't there one in the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Liu Pandi hesitated to speak, glancing at him from time to time.
He blinked, and then said nothing more.
Finally, he found this person from his memory. He was the gossip master in the team.
But he was not familiar with her and did not owe her any money, so why should she look for him?
Confused, he looked up at his uncle who had come last week, and his uncle shook his head silently at him.
Lu Qin's eyelids slowly opened up, and he suddenly understood something. He choked on his saliva and coughed it out.
He thought he was thick-skinned enough, but it turned out to be not thick enough.
Pretending to be tired and wanting to rest, he sat up straight, closed his eyes, and closed his ears at the same time.
Liu Pandi finally thought of the right words, but when she looked up, she saw that the young man had long and curly eyelashes, but the problem was that he had closed his eyes.
Liu Pandi, "......"
The journey was relatively quiet for Lu Qin.
As soon as the ox cart stopped, he thanked Zhou Laigeng, got off the cart and ran away.
He had been out for less than a day, but he already felt like he had been out for three days.
The home is as quiet as ever, with the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and a little kid as the trio.
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Qin's eyes fell on his adopted nephew under the eaves.
The little kid who had been clamoring to go out with him early in the morning was now holding his wooden doll and acting well without making any noise.
Lu Qinchao had already seen her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law making a 'hush' gesture.
After quietly approaching, she deliberately made noises with her footsteps, picked him up with one hand, and lowered her voice, "Kong Dongdong, guess who I am?"
"Uncle! It's uncle!" The child's excited voice rang out.
With a smile in his eyes, Lu Qin took out a candy from his pocket, peeled it, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
"Ah?" Kong Dongdong licked it with his tongue, and smiled after tasting the sweetness.
"Uncle, eat,"
The child was quite filial, Lu Qin was very pleased and peeled one and put it in his mouth.
The uncle and nephew both have the same cheek, with the right side bulging.
Lu Qin carried the child into the house, where two people were weaving bamboo baskets.
Sun Laimei just heard the child's laughter, which was not heard at home before. She smiled and thought that her daughter-in-law was right to be angry with Lu Qin a few days ago.
"Auntie, sister, have some candy."
Putting the child down, Lu Qin took out the things in his arms without hesitation.
It's not like the original form, half hidden and half revealed.
Wow, this is a bag of White Rabbit milk candy. Sun Laimei was surprised.
Lu Qin peeled one and stuffed it into his sister's mouth.
Lu Chunnong's tongue tip lightly touched the sugar, and there was a sweet milky aroma, a very distant taste. She lowered her eyes, and her mood couldn't help but improve, just like today's weather.
Looking at the candies and then at his attire, Sun Laimei asked the question she had been holding back all day, "Are you going to see a date?"
Lu Qin moved a chair, pulled it open, and sat down with his nephew in his arms. He shook his head and nodded decisively, facing his aunt's puzzled eyes, and said, "I'm not going to see her. I'm going to make friends."
That was a gift from a friend.
A straightforward explanation, no hiding anything.
Sun Laimei had a hunch that he was not lying. The candy that Lu Qin gave her had been peeled and placed on the table. She picked it up carefully with a look of heartache, put it in her mouth, and ate it slowly.
The rich aroma of milk spread all around.
Sun Laimei suddenly said, "Today is the 23rd, I don't know if Yue will come back to celebrate the New Year this year."
Lu Qin's tongue tip was pushing the candy around in his mouth. He didn't react for a moment, but then he reacted.
He quickly looked at his sister. Oh, isn't the "Yue boy" his aunt was talking about his brother-in-law?
After straightening his butt, he pricked up his ears.
It's no wonder that Sun Laimei and Lu Qin had the same reaction, subconsciously looking at their daughter-in-law's reaction.
Before Lu Chunnong came in, Sun Laimei only knew that there was such a person, who was from the city and whom her son liked very much.
Seeing her mother-in-law looking at her, Lu Chunnong spoke softly, "Kong Yue hasn't written to me in half a year, and he didn't tell me before."
Lu Qin bit the candy in his mouth, squinting his eyes and his mind wandering. So based on his sister's reaction and the plot of unrequited love, does his sister have feelings for her brother-in-law or not?
Before he could figure it out, he was sent out to work.
Once the tall shadow blocking the gate moved away, Sun Laimei said, "When the time comes, let's see how much money we have left and pay off what we owe. We'll just make do like this for the New Year."
Lu Chunnong agreed softly, and she never touched the extra money.
At the door, Lu Qin came back quietly carrying the bucket.
The winter night quickly darkened, and Lu Qin gently knocked on her sister's door.
Hearing the noise outside, Lu Chunnong subconsciously hid the money under the pillow, and the next second quickly stuffed it into the quilt.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lu Qin's signature big smile. "Sister, you're still awake, right? Let me get you a notebook and a pen."
Who could have expected that a junior high school graduate would not even have a piece of white paper or a useful pen in the house.
Fortunately, Lu Chunnong did not close the door directly. She turned around and went into the house, and came out again after a while.
"Thank you, sister," his mouth became even sweeter after eating the candy.
A small figure came out from behind her, "Uncle,"
"Hey? Dongdong, go back to sleep. I'll take you out for something delicious tomorrow." At this moment, he had made his decision.
"Delicious?"
In front of her, the uncle and nephew were chatting freely. Lu Chunnong picked up the child and touched his little hand, which felt warm. She closed the door.
Lu Qin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Take your time." He turned around and went back to the house to start his journey of making money, scribbling on paper with a pen.
