Chapter 28
Having such a handsome gay as a friend is not only a great honor, but more importantly, this Comrade Lu understands the psychology of female comrades very well, and it will definitely be very fun to chat with them in the future.
A group of lesbians wanted to be friends with him. This was a development that even Lu Qin had not expected. He had a new understanding of his own charm. He reached out and gently pressed down the hair on his head.
Before Zhu Hong could get angry, he said very embarrassedly, "Thank you very much for your kindness, ladies."
When he paused, they all thought he was going to refuse, only to hear him continue, "Comrade Zhu Hong is a very outstanding female comrade. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. I believe that if you are also Comrade Zhu's friends, you must be very outstanding too."
He almost has the words "loyalty and righteousness" written on his face.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Li Xiang and the other two turned to Zhu Hong. They were afraid that Zhu Hong would say that they were not her friends. If that happened, they would lose the chance to be friends with Comrade Lu. How could they do that?
Before the scarlet hair could be straightened out, the man had already come close to him.
"Comrade Zhu Hong, we are your good friends, right? By the way, we will be responsible for cleaning the supply and marketing cooperative from now on, and we will also be the ones to wipe the dust off the counter."
"Yes, yes, we will be responsible for fetching water from now on."
“…”
Although they had been enthusiastic before, they had never been this enthusiastic.
Zhu Hong was confused.
Under these repeated attacks, Zhu Hong gradually regained consciousness, even feeling a sense of relief. She noticed from the corner of her eye that Comrade Lu wasn't paying attention, so she emphasized, "We're just friends now, not close friends!"
Li Xiang, Zhang Xia, and Zhang Chunhong exchanged glances and said, "Yes, we are friends!"
It doesn’t matter if they are friends. As long as they are Zhu Hong’s friends, they are also Comrade Lu’s friends.
They also noticed that Zhu Hong was the type of person who was easy to coax.
Lu Qin had already stepped back, because he believed Comrade Zhu Hong would not disappoint him. He picked and chose the food on his plate. He had talked so much that he was a little thirsty.
In their opinion, he was just embarrassed to take the food on the plate and was worried about this and that.
So Li Xiang walked over and simply turned over the candy peanuts and the like on top, and the apple underneath was revealed.
Lu Qin's hand stopped in mid-air, his eyes fixed on the bright red apple. Wow, it was hidden so well that he hadn't even noticed it just now. What a big, beautiful apple!
Li Xiang originally wanted to keep it for herself, otherwise she wouldn't have hidden it so carefully. Her family only got fifteen apples. Seeing him staring at the apples, she stuffed them into Lu Qin's hand and said, "Comrade Lu, take this. This is delicious."
Lu Qin had a new understanding of this group of people, especially Li Xiang. He refused, "No, no, such a valuable thing, you should keep it for yourself. I haven't given you these gifts yet."
It seems that being friends is the right thing to do.
As soon as he said this, Li Xiang's hesitation disappeared. "We should give you a welcome gift, Comrade Lu. You've already helped us a lot. By the way, Comrade Zhu Hong said you really like braised pork, right? We'll treat you!"
“…”
Zhu Hong gets angry again!!
******
Kong Yue was so busy that he didn't come out of the Public Security Bureau until nearly six in the afternoon. As the sun set, he rode Qin Mingzhi's bicycle all the way home.
When passing the intersection, as expected, Zhou Laigeng's ox cart had already returned half an hour ago.
On the streets of the county town, you can hear voices calling children to go home for dinner.
Kong Yue couldn't help but speed up. At this time, people passing by only saw a person riding a bicycle quickly passing by.
So when he saw the slow figure in front of him, he thought he was seeing things. He squinted his eyes and looked again.
"Lu Qin!" He couldn't hide his surprise.
With a whoosh, the bicycle stopped in front of me.
He could only blame the female comrades for being too enthusiastic. After collecting a table full of delicious food, he was not only late for the ox cart, but his stomach was still bloated. When he heard the familiar voice, he quickly turned back. At that moment, his legs were no longer tired.
He suspected that he was lucky today, as he had food and drink and didn't have to walk.
Seeing that his eyes were almost glued to the bicycle, and it was getting late, he stared at the boy and said, "Get on!"
"Thank you, brother-in-law." Lu Qin didn't care about being polite, although it was a bit strange.
But the quality of the 28-inch bicycles of this era was also very good. Two grown men could sit on them without the wheels getting flat.
Kong Yue had a keen nose and seemed to smell the scent of meat in the air. He leaned over to look at the brat.
Lu Qin sat down, and noticed him looking at him, with a puzzled look on his face, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay," Kong Yue stepped on the bicycle. Maybe he smelled something wrong.
Seeing the bicycle looked familiar, he sat in the back and asked, "Is this Qin Public Security's bike?"
"Hmm," Kong Yue's voice came from the wind.
Lu Qin thought about it carefully. His brother-in-law might come back so late more than once in the future. He couldn't borrow Qin Mingzhi's bicycle every time. He would have to buy one for himself, but it seemed that they didn't have the ability to do so now.
Alas, due to the pressure of life, my good mood after eating the braised pork has not yet disappeared.
When Kong Yue was riding his bike, he leaned forward and his coat bulged out on his back, so Lu Qin inadvertently saw the patched clothes he was wearing from behind.
How should I put it? Stuff patches inside and wear something better outside. It's good as long as it's not torn. Perhaps simplicity is still something worthy of praise in this era, but Lu Qin just doesn't feel it's right.
I don’t know why this kid suddenly became quiet, but they were almost home, so Kong Yue didn’t ask any more questions.
Lu Chunnong held Kong Dongdong, who was about to cry, at the door and patiently wiped away the tears from his eyes. "Can you go in with mom first?"
"No, I want my uncle."
Lu Chunnong had a headache. He didn't know why his son, who was playing happily with the friends who came to his house at first, suddenly became unhappy and didn't want to be hugged by his grandmother.
Just as she was thinking, a bicycle rode towards them.
Kong Dongdong called out the word "uncle" and ran over.
But when he saw it was Kong Yue, he stopped again. This time he was really about to cry, with tears hanging in his little eyes.
Before he could even stop, Lu Qin's two long legs had already landed on the ground, "Sister, I'm back!"
Kong Yue stopped his bike and was about to say something when a small figure quickly passed by him. As expected, the uncle and nephew behind him were sticky again.
"Uncle, you've eaten meat." Kong Dongdong whispered in his ear, his little eyes revealing innocence.
Lu Qin: “!!!” He tilted his head in surprise and sniffed.
Kong Yue walked to Lu Chunnong's side, his tall figure came down, and put his big hands on her shoulders. With a concerned look in his eyes, he asked her in a low voice, "Why are you waiting here?"
Seeing that the couple had already started chatting, Lu Qin quickly disappeared with Kong Dongdong in his arms, fearing that he would say something else.
When he entered the house, he saw Sun Laimei setting the table and called out to her.
"Why did you stop crying just now?" The last sentence was said to Kong Dongdong.
Only then did Lu Qin see that his adopted nephew's eyelids were red and filled with tears.
What a sweet burden! He reached out and pinched his cheek, feeling the soft touch. "You have to be obedient at home, okay? Why are you crying again?"
"Well," Kong Dongdong sat on his arm, aggrieved, "My uncle asked me to play with my brothers without me."
Lu Qin:
Oh! It took him a while to realize that it was because he asked his nephew to play with other children, so his step-nephew thought he didn't want him anymore.
No, children’s thoughts are so wild.
If he had known that some lesbians would treat him to braised pork, he would have definitely brought his nephew along. But for the sake of sustainable development, he didn't pack anything.
But I also brought him a gift. He reached into his pocket and fished, "Here, a big apple!"
As soon as Kong Yue and Lu Chunnong came in, they saw the boy take out an apple from his pocket.
This thing is only available in the north and is very expensive.
Kong Yue started to wonder where he'd gotten free food and drinks. He even suspected that even if he was left outside, he wouldn't starve to death.
Noticing this gaze, Lu Qin raised the apple and said, "You want to eat too."
But the next second, two small hands snatched him away.
Kong Yue: “…”
Lu Qin: "..." He might need some further education. It's not enough for his nephew to just say thank you.
When Lu Chunnong received Kong Dongdong's request for her to help clean, she asked him, "Where did you get it from?"
Lu Qin raised his eyebrows and said, "It was given to me by a friend. They wouldn't be happy if I didn't accept it."
Lu Chunnong could see the words "cheerful and cheerful" on his face.
Later events proved that Lu Qin's education was correct, because Kong Dongdong gave the apple to her mother to cut, and everyone got a small piece.
Lu Qin held the apple and clapped his hands in deep emotion, "Dongdong is awesome!"
Kong Dongdong's eyes were curved as he carefully held the apple and bit it.
After receiving a series of reactions from his son, Kong Yue looked at the half apple in his hand with mixed feelings. Not to mention the boy now, even when he was a child, if he came across something delicious, he would definitely put it into his mouth and would not think about sharing.
This action alone shows that there is nothing wrong with Lu Qin's education, and on a deeper level, it shows that perhaps this kid is also a person with good moral character.
Seeing that he hadn't eaten for a long time, Lu Qin came up and asked, "Brother-in-law, don't you want to eat?" If he didn't want to eat, he would give it to him.
With a click, Kong Yue threw it into his mouth expressionlessly.
After taking a bath at night, Lu Qin carried his nephew to the bed in the room, wrapped him in a quilt, and reminded him not to move. Then he reached into the pillowcase to find the bill that Zhu Hong had given him before. He had to be very careful when taking it out, because the pillowcase contained rice husks, which could be taken out if he was not careful. He had been wearing it for more than half a month, and his ability to hide money was completely adapted to the local customs.
When he bent down, he met his nephew's curious and moist eyes. He hissed. Kong Dongdong smiled with his eyes curved, and followed suit by hissing twice like a thief, then shrank his head into the small quilt wrapped around him.
Lu Qin counted the sugar coupons, grain coupons, and today's collection together, but still felt unsatisfied. Bicycles, bicycles.
Just as he was about to fold the bills carefully, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.
"Lu Qin,"
Lu Qin quickly stuffed the money back, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
Kong Yue pushed the door open and saw the boy quickly jump onto the bed, accompanied by his son's two hissing sounds like a thief.
Lu Qin looked down at his nephew and said, "..." This is not the right time to shush.
Then I calmly asked him, "Brother-in-law, it's so late, what can I do for you?"
Kong Yue withdrew his gaze and told him what Qin Mingzhi had said to him at the Public Security Bureau.
"What, let me help with publicity?" he was surprised.
"Well, Qin Minghai is waiting for your reply, are you going or not?"
Lu Qin sat up and said, "Of course I'll go. Besides, it's a job my aunt found."
He has not forgotten what happened some time ago. In an era when information is not well developed, it would be a good thing if he could really help them.
Kong Yue narrowed his eyes, and seeing that he was serious, he urged him, "Get some rest early, and I'll take you to see Qin Minghai tomorrow."
Lu Qin said he understood, then pointed to the child next to him and said he could take the child home to sleep today.
Kong Yue coughed and said, "Didn't you say it was cold? Today is even colder than yesterday. Dongdong will sleep with you for two days first."
Lu Qin: “…”
The next morning, Kong Yue took him out on his bicycle, and all his words turned into one sentence, "Don't cause trouble, and listen to your Aunt Sun."
"Don't worry!" Some people in the commune, the Public Security Bureau, and the Women's Federation have more experience than him, and some apparently have higher academic qualifications than him. If it weren't for his aunt, it would probably not be his turn to speak.
When Kong Yue saw the boy's expression, he knew that he understood the reason. Without saying anything else, he rode away on his bicycle.
However, Lu Qin, who was sitting in the back, still asked, "Brother-in-law, why didn't you help me refuse?" He always thought that he was unreliable.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go into society and learn some knowledge?" Kong Yue asked him back after noticing the boy's temptation towards him.
Lu Qin savored this sentence, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, I've decided. I've decided to be more ambitious and set more realistic goals."
He casually asked, "What's the goal?"
"That is to make this society realize its own dangers!"
The bicycle squeaked—
"Lu Qin!!!"
Lu Qin thought it was just as he expected. His brother-in-law had some idea. But he kept shouting, "Brother-in-law, be careful! Don't let me fall!"
“…”
The three parties gathered at the Public Security Bureau. Kong Yue stopped the car at the door, his mood having recovered. "Follow me, walk straight!"
Lu Qin didn't expect to return to the police station just after the New Year. Without being reminded, he changed his nonchalant attitude as soon as he entered the door.
Before entering the yard, the sound of conversation inside could be faintly heard. After walking in, he saw five people surrounding a middle-aged man wearing glasses. Two of them were people Lu Qin knew, one was Sun Juan, and the other was Qin Mingzhi.
Hearing the sound, several people looked over at the same time.
There was an extra person in the yard. Qin Mingzhi raised his left eyebrow, indicating that he was someone sent by the higher-ups. Kong Yue understood, but was a little worried about the boy.
Sun Juan broke the silence, "Here he comes, come on, this is Comrade Xiao Lu I told you about."
Secretary Zhang and Director Yang initially noticed the serious and stern man in front. When they saw Sun Juan pulling out the younger man behind her, they were surprised for a moment. The man had a slender figure and an outstanding appearance.
The author has something to say:
A little late.
