Chapter 122
However, would Lu Qin be so disrespectful to the elderly and the young? Obviously not.
He held it out for a moment and said, "Auntie, you guys eat first."
Sun Laimei couldn't bear to see it, pushing a sweet potato back and forth, "There's more in the pot, eat it yourself."
"Oh, I'm really hungry. Auntie, you don't know that I was thinking about the meal you cooked while I was taking an exam at school."
As he spoke, he sat down on the stool where Kong Dongdong had sat before, then broke off a small piece of liquid, blew into it, and fed it directly into Kong Dongdong's mouth.
Kong Dongdong opened his mouth and took a bite, sipping it gently. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he couldn't free his mouth to comment.
Good! Lu Qin knew from her reaction that the sweet potato was very sweet and he could eat it without worry. He took two bites and then gave Kong Dongdong a small one.
Kong Dongdong moved around, resting his hands on his knees, and looking up from time to time waiting to be fed.
There was only one bite left. Lu Qin lowered his head, paused, and thought, "Forget it, let's just be a good uncle."
Seeing them eating sweet potatoes like they had never eaten them before, Sun Laimei was so amused that she dug another one out from the ash in the pot and said, "Don't worry, there are more."
Roasted sweet potatoes are suitable for eating in winter.
"Uncle, I want to eat more." Kong Dongdong counted on his fingers. It seemed that he had only eaten five or six bites.
Lu Qin didn't respond immediately. She reached out and touched his stomach, but couldn't feel anything through the layers of clothes. "Auntie, have you had dinner yet?"
"We're all waiting for you to come back and eat." Sun Laimei groaned, "Let's go, now that you're back, let's eat quickly."
After being interrupted by him, she completely forgot to ask them how they did in the exam.
Lu Qin released his hand and pulled Kong Dongdong up, then lifted his hat and covered it on him. "Eat first, then eat after dinner."
Kong Yue and the others went back to the house to change clothes, and immediately closed the door when they entered the kitchen to block out the cold wind outside.
Kong Yue was responsible for setting the table, Lu Chunnong served the dishes, and the family of five was busy with their own activities under the dim light.
After the exam, the three of them exuded a sense of relief. At least for now, they were relaxed and didn't have to think too much.
After finishing his meal, Kong Dongdong completely forgot about the roasted sweet potatoes. He couldn't finish them even if he took them out, so they all ended up in Kong Yue's mouth. Sun Laimei promised to steam the sweet potatoes for her grandson tomorrow. Roasted ones are sweet, and steamed ones are probably just as sweet as honey.
When washing dishes after dinner, Sun Laimei found two extra lunch boxes and two unfamiliar plates at home. She asked a few more questions and learned that the Qin family had sent food. She remembered that she had pickled duck eggs at home and suggested that they could be sent as a return gift.
That night, many people couldn't sleep, listening to the cold wind outside, but everyone remained calm.
The Lunar New Year came just after the college entrance exam. All the work in the brigade was done, and many people went up and down the mountain to collect firewood.
Lu Qingang had just finished his exams and originally wanted to rest at home for a day, but he couldn't because the educated youth from the educated youth center came to visit him.
"Hello, Sister Lu."
"Hello, Sister Lu."
They knew from the beginning that Lu Chunnong was good-looking and looked quite similar to classmate Lu.
Lu Chunnong smiled and nodded. Worried that they would feel uncomfortable, he went out with the basket.
Liu Zhi and the others looked away, only to see that Lu still looked like he was still half asleep. He quickly said, "Lu, we picked these up early this morning. We can burn them after drying them in the sun."
"We can't pick up big ones, so we can only pick up some dead branches. Please don't mind."
After working in the countryside for many years, they are still not very good at their jobs and can only do simple tasks.
The educated youth picked up a little bit each, and there was quite a lot of firewood piled up. Firewood was not valuable, and the work of picking firewood was within their ability.
Fearing he would refuse, they dropped their things and ran away. They had originally planned to ask more questions about the problem, but seeing Kong Luqin still half asleep quickly put them off the idea.
Lu Qin had just come out of the house, his eyes still hazy.
"Auntie"
"Hey, here they come!" Sun Laimei came out holding a jar of pickled cabbage. "So many."
"It's okay, just keep it. They won't feel at ease if you don't." Lu Qin became much more sober.
"Okay, I just found some pickled bamboo shoots and beans that I made in the middle of this year. I'll give some to the Qin family when the time comes. What do you think?"
"Sure, Aunt Qin's family's food is similar to ours. What does Aunt Qin eat for breakfast?"
Sun Laimei looked up at the sky. Although it was a cloudy day, it was really late, already early in the morning.
She thought for a moment and said, "There are still some sweet potatoes, half a salted duck egg, and two eggs in the pot. Dongdong didn't eat the egg yet, so you can ask him to eat it later."
"Hmm." Lu Qin agreed.
After he finished washing up, he went back to the room and called Kong Dongdong out to have breakfast with him.
Then he calculated the time when the test results would be released. After eating and drinking, he took out the manuscript he had written before and polished it. He found the bicycle in the corner and pushed it to go out. He tried to finish it in half a day.
Suddenly someone hugged my thigh.
"Uncle, I want to go too."
Lu Qin opened his mouth to refuse, saying it was too cold and the child wouldn't be able to resist the cold. But seeing how pitiful he looked, he went back to the room and fetched a quilt. He wrapped him up tightly and placed him in front of him.
"Auntie, I'm going out for a while. Do you want me to take the lunch box back to them?"
"Hey!" Sun Laimei came out after hearing the noise. "It's not a good idea to go to someone's house so late in the afternoon. It's a bad omen. Let's wait until next time. You and Dongdong should come back earlier."
"Okay."
Lu Qin held the handlebars with both hands and shivered from the cold. The sky in the distance was clear, but the cold wind was real.
Kong Dongdong, who was sitting in front of him, was completely wrapped in the quilt, with not even his ears showing.
In the county town, the people at the post office heard the noise and looked up, only to see a familiar young comrade waiting in front of them with a quilt in his arms.

Then a dark head emerged from it, the little face turned around, and the staff member blinked.
"Comrade Lu, this is..."
"Hello comrade, this is my nephew. Please help me submit the article."
I thought it was Comrade Lu’s son. “Oh, no trouble, Comrade Lu, you’re welcome.”
"Comrade, the letters I send out now will have to wait until after the Chinese New Year to be delivered." He took a step forward and approached the counter to ask her.
The staff tore off a stamp and said, "Comrade Lu, are you in a hurry? There is one last wave of mail delivery before the New Year. Would you like to pay two cents more and cut in line now?"
Lu Qin calculated the time, but it couldn't be too early or too late. He smiled and refused, "No, I can send it after the New Year. Sorry for the trouble, comrade."
"Comrade Lu, you're welcome. You're welcome. Next time Life Food Factory releases a hot-selling product, please let me know." She lowered her voice.
Lu Qin gestured an OK gesture and left with Kong Dongdong, preparing to go to a state-owned restaurant for a meal.
He swaggered down the street, holding the person wrapped in a large quilt. Several children ran by, not sure if little comrade Kong Dongdong would be embarrassed by being wrapped up like a cicada pupa, so he even glanced down. Well, he looked around curiously, perhaps he didn't even know what it felt like to be embarrassed.

Lu Qin took leave to take the exam, but everyone around him knew that he was taking the college entrance examination.
In fact, before the college entrance examination results come out, he can still receive at least one more month's salary. No one has too much money.
When he returned to the factory office, Director Ren felt that he had not seen this guy for a long time. He saw him pouring tea and organizing materials in a familiar manner.
He walked over and asked, "You're back, how did you do in the exam?"
