Chapter 35
Both of the things Sun Juan talked to him about were selfish.
Before leaving, Sun Juan stuffed four small oranges into his hands.
Lu Qin smiled brightly, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Remember to come to my aunt's house for dinner." Sun Juan reminded him.
It was still early when we left the Women's Federation. It only took half an hour to get from the Women's Federation to the Public Security Bureau.
The third time he entered the Public Security Bureau, it was a completely different feeling. Lu Qin looked at the gate, put his hands in his pockets and walked in as if he was entering his own home.
It felt like there was someone above me.
The Public Security Bureau does not need anyone guarding the door at this time. After all, ordinary people are afraid of the Public Security Bureau and want to stay away from it as far as possible.
It was break time at this time, and Li Li came out with the washed lunch box, shaking it to get rid of the water.
"Li Public Security,"
Li Li paused and saw that Lu Qin seemed to be in a good mood. He had also gone to see a performance in the morning, but because he was busy, he came back after the show.
Thinking back, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "Comrade Lu, this is your performance this morning. By the way, are you looking for Public Security Kong? He's in there."
"Thanks," I patted his shoulder and he walked inside slowly.
When Kong Yue just changed his job, he was assigned to share a room with Qin Mingzhi due to insufficient office space, and he never moved out.
Simplicity and shabbiness are the most distinctive features of this era. Two tables and two chairs, a portrait of the leader hanging on the wall, a broom at the door—there is almost nothing else, and you can see through it at a glance.
Kong Yue was alert. When he looked up, he saw the boy's signature smile. Then he glanced at the clothes he was wearing and found that the jacket that had disappeared was back on his body.
Before he could open his mouth, Lu Qin spoke first, "Brother-in-law, I'm going home first."
He thought he could take a half-day off now and worry about the rest later. So now, when he saw his brother-in-law working, he felt very relieved.
"Let's go now?" Kong Yue put down his pen and asked him.
"Uncle Lai Gen is probably still waiting there. I can just catch up. I won't say any more to you, brother-in-law. By the way."
After saying this, he took out an orange from his pocket and put it on his desk, "Let's go."
The orange turned slightly on the table, and by the time Kong Yue reacted, Lu Qin had already left.
When spring comes, the scenery is completely different and full of vitality.
I originally wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see some female comrades, but there was no time left.
There were a few people in Zhou Laigeng's car, far fewer than during the Chinese New Year.
He saw the young man walking towards him from a distance. He hadn't seen Lu Qin for almost a week, and he seemed to have grown taller.
"Uncle Lai Gen, is there any room on the bus?" Lu Qin looked around.
"Yes," Zhou Laigen pushed the packages from the team aside and made room for him. "I haven't seen you for a few days."
There was a period of time a few years ago when I rode in his ox cart every day, and the uncle and nephew would sit together and chat all the way.
After the Chinese New Year, except for a few times at the beginning when I rode in Kong Yue's car with him, I almost never saw him again.
Lu Qin first thanked him and said, "I haven't seen you for several days. I didn't realize you hadn't left yet, so I came to ride in the ox cart you drove."
If Lu Qin really wanted to get along with someone, he would be able to establish a good relationship with that person quickly, just like his uncle Zhou Laigen.
Zhou Laigen suddenly thought of something, dusted off his hands, and wiped them carefully on his clothes. Then he took out a cigarette from his pocket, which he had kept well, and handed it to him. "A man gave it to me a few days ago. Do you want it?"
Many young people in the team love this, so he kept it on purpose.
Lu Qin thought it was something, "Uncle, I don't need this thing."
He has no interest in this kind of thing.
Zhou Laigen had no choice but to take it back and no longer treated it as a treasure. "That's right, I've never seen you use it."
Lu Qin saw him put the cigarette back into his pocket. No matter what, he felt warm in his heart. There are more good people in this world than not. "Thank you, uncle, for remembering me."
This sentence made Zhou Laigen feel embarrassed.
About half an hour later, everyone was gathered and Zhou Laigen drove the ox cart back to the team.
Along the way, several aunts sat in the back of the car and listened to their chat. Lu Qin occasionally mentioned things about the county town, and they listened with great interest. They were reluctant to get off the car when they got off.
The uncle and nephew chatted all the way, and Lu Qin was thirsty. "Uncle, I'm leaving first."
"Hey!" Zhou Laigen tied the rope.
Green buds sprouted everywhere on the green plants in the mountains and fields, and the fragrance of unknown flowers increased. The hilltops planted with pear trees were full of beauty, accompanied by the singing of birds.
It was very appropriate that there was a group of little kids chattering and playing hide-and-seek in front of us.
Lu Qin whistled, glanced at him casually, and then looked away.
But after taking two steps, he squinted his eyes and looked over again.
Among the seven or eight boys, there was a short guy spinning around with his legs, his face flushed with excitement, his grey jacket and trousers wobbling and supported completely by his buttocks.
Isn't it fun to have friends?
"Kong Dongdong, you are not allowed to run around. You will fall again soon." The older man warned him.
"It will hurt if you fall!"
Hearing one or two people admonishing him, Lu Qin raised his eyebrows. Well, his Kong Dongdong is quite charming, no less than his uncle.
"Okay." Kong Dongdong said in a baby voice, and tried to pull up his pants with his two little hands, but unfortunately the effect was not great, and his pants fell down again after being pulled up.
"Then pat your pants so your mother doesn't see them."
Niu Dan remembered that Kong Dongdong's family members were very particular about cleanliness, and if they found Kong Dongdong had fallen, they might not let him out to play next time. He originally wanted to help, but his younger siblings had taught him to do things on his own.
"Brother, wait for me." Kong Dongdong looked at him eagerly.
Lu Qin: I can speak more fluently now.
Niu Dan originally wanted to play secretly, but when he met his dark and moist little eyes, he had to agree.
Kong Dongdong wiped his face with his little hands, stood aside, and squatted down. Maybe his legs were too small to bear the force, so he sat down directly on the ground. He found that after he sat down, his face was full of confusion.
From Lu Qin's perspective, it was just a meat ball wearing clothes.
"Kong Dongdong, you seem to be having fun." Lu Qin didn't realize that there was a hint of resentment in his tone.
Hearing the familiar voice, Kong Dongdong raised his head and saw an upside-down face.
"uncle!"
Then, Lu Qin saw his adopted nephew twisting and turning like a caterpillar, and successfully turned around and hugged his legs.
The remaining guys also heard Lu Qin's voice. Seeing Kong Dongdong just getting up from the ground, the leader Niu Dan explained to him, "We didn't bully him."
"You are Dongdong's friends and you value loyalty. I believe you will not bully him." Children also need to be praised.
As expected, all the older children held their heads high.
"By the way, where are Kong Dongdong and his grandma?"
Lu Qin was a little surprised because neither his aunt nor his sister was there.
Niu Dan pointed to a place and said, "It's all there! What's that called? The captain said digging canals!" He was suddenly notified. His grandmother arranged for him to play here.
Lu Qin searched for this kind of thing from his original body's memory. There was a natural "reservoir" in the mountain of their Dongyang Brigade, and the terrain of the Dongyang Brigade was high in the east and low in the west.
Now that spring has arrived and the rains haven't fallen, water must be diverted from the reservoir to irrigate the fields. Even if water isn't diverted, the diversion pit must be cleared of sand and gravel to avoid affecting subsequent water collection.
But the problem is that the distance from the reservoir to the nearest field takes more than an hour and a half, so it consumes a lot of manpower.
He reflected on whether he was destined to be a hard worker, as he was faced with work just as he was about to take a half-day off.
After looking around and seeing no high ground, rivers, lakes or anything like that, he reminded the children to keep an eye on Kong Dongdong and said there would be candy there, and then he went over there.
"Don't be lazy, sort out the fallen sand and rocks."
"Shovel down the high side and fill it up on the low side."
"Carry the sharp gravel somewhere else to avoid hurting anyone."
Jiang Manzhu was carrying a dustpan while supervising and reminding them. His face was covered with dust and dirt, after all, he had been working for half a day.
Lu Qin lowered his head to look at his clothes, and looked around. He only saw his aunt not far away, doing some simple work such as picking up stones and shoveling sand.
"Uncle Manzhu," Lu Qin greeted him first.
Except for the Chinese New Year, Jiang Manzhu hadn't seen Lu Qin for a long time. Seeing his appearance, he almost didn't recognize him. "You kid, are you back from the county?"
It's impossible for him not to notice two grown men running to the county every day. He has a good relationship with his brother-in-law.
Lu Qin responded with a smile, his eyes still searching for his sister, "Yes, I just got back, Uncle Manzhu, um, where is my sister?"
"Your sister," he didn't expect him to go to Lu Chunnong as soon as he came back. It also showed that they had a deep affection for each other. He thought about it carefully and said, "She's over there, at the foot of the mountain. Go and take a look."
"Okay, thank you uncle."
After thanking him, Lu Qin first walked up to his aunt, "Aunt,"
As he finished speaking, he stuffed an orange into her hand and said, "Eat this to quench your thirst. I'm going to find my sister first."
Sun Laimei didn't react at all. She straightened up, wiped her hair, looked in the direction he left, and then looked down at the orange in her hand.
Lu Qin's arrival had already been discovered by someone.
Aunt Zhao, who was standing next to her, only saw Lu Qin stuffing something orange into Sun Laimei's hand. She couldn't help but be curious and leaned over to take a look. "Sun Laimei, what did your Lu Qin give you?"
Sun Laimei came back to her senses and unfolded it for them to see. A smile was plastered on her face as she said casually, "You're talking about this. This is the orange that Lu Qin stuffed into my hand. I didn't even say no, but he left in a hurry."
The orange is not big, but it looks good.
Aunt Zhao smacked her lips, feeling very uncomfortable, especially when she saw the smile on Sun Laimei's face.
After saying this, Sun Laimei put the food in her pocket. She was reluctant to eat it.
Aunt Zhao and others looked at her pocket quietly.
Lu Qin walked up along the water diversion pit and found his sister.
Lu Chunnong was holding a hoe and spreading the soil on both sides. Several strands of short hair were stuck to his neck.
Lu Qin walked to her side in a few seconds.
"Sister, let me do it." He took off his jacket, revealing the gray work clothes underneath, and rolled up his sleeves. His white and bony wrists shone brightly in the sunlight.
At first glance, he doesn't look like he can do any work.
