Zhou Guixiang was close to the door. When she heard the familiar voice, she glanced over. When she saw who it was, she was stunned and almost shouted "Oh my god!"
Who is this slob?
Without looking carefully, she almost didn't recognize it.
Lu Qin had always been a cunning fellow. After educated, he prided himself on being different from the others, picking up the city dweller's habits and being very self-conscious about his appearance. He had the best hairstyle in the brigade, his fine, wiry hair always cascading neatly across his forehead, accentuating his rosy lips and white teeth, making him incredibly handsome. For a while, a few young men in the brigade would imitate him, wetting their hands with a bucket of water to style their hair. They supposedly meant it would give it a nice look, but the water only made it tangled, making it look even uglier. As for his clothes, they were usually clean and crisp, without a single wrinkle.
It's nothing like now. The clothes he wears are more wrinkled than the pickled cabbage just taken out of the soaking jar at her house. The buttons are buttoned wrongly. He has a beard, dark circles under his eyes, and a messy hair. He looks like he is fleeing from a disaster.
Sun Laimei hadn't seen him since she was hospitalized, and she couldn't hide her surprise.
Then he quickly looked at his daughter-in-law, and as expected, he saw that her expression had changed.
Lu Qin simply greeted the two people and tried to catch his breath.
Then he walked to the corner slowly, looked at her eagerly, and smiled with his big white teeth, "It's not twelve o'clock yet, sister, I'm back."
When she saw the person, Lu Chunnong's half-hearted heart finally tightened. Her fingertips trembled slightly, and she glanced away, suppressing her emotions, "Come out with me first."
"Okay," he agreed obediently, and even had the mind to tease his nephew who had been keeping his mouth slightly open since he came in.
When Dongdong saw his uncle looking at him, he was so scared that he immediately buried his head in his grandmother's arms.
Sun Laimei held her grandson in her arms and patted him gently, with shock still in her eyes. "This kid, what is he doing?"
Thinking of her daughter-in-law who had lost her mind for the whole day, and looking at Lu Qin's current appearance, the two siblings had dark circles under their eyes that were almost as big as each other, she felt uneasy.
Zhou Guixiang closed her mouth and quickly came to her senses. Seeing Sun Laimei's panicked look, she walked over to tease the child and advised her, "I guess the two siblings are having a conflict. Sister Sun, don't worry about it."
"Oh, okay." Sun Laimei stared at the door, patting her grandson with one hand to coax him.
Ouch! Zhou Guixiang, standing by, suddenly thought of the money she had lent out. Could it be that Lu Qin had gone out to hang out somewhere all night to fool people? What would happen to her money then? Soon, she lost interest in teasing the child.
When I went out, it was lunchtime and there were many people coming and going in the corridor. I don’t know who ordered braised pork, but the smell went straight to my head.
Lu Qin followed half a step slower, neither too far nor too close. His sight passed the crowd and fell on the slender figure in front of him. In his memory, this sister always had her back straight, like a lotus flower that was not afraid of the rain, with an unyielding posture.
Before they knew it, they had reached the end of the corridor, away from the noisy crowd.
Lu Chunnong stopped and looked out the window. The winter sun was warm, and the light flickered. Her hands were still cold. From the incident yesterday until now, she was completely tense.
The footsteps behind me also stopped, and then there was a sound of clothes rubbing against each other.
Lu Qin put his hands in his pockets, touched the money in his pocket, hesitated for a moment, reached out and gently poked her arm, poked it once, and poked it again without giving up.
"sister?"
As if he was afraid of startling her, or as if he had noticed her emotions, the young man's voice was cautious and tinged with uneasiness.
Licking his dry lips, he simply walked in front of her, lowering his head, "Here, here's the money."
When Lu Chunnong looked up, she saw a dark head facing her. She lowered her eyes and saw a neatly folded stack of money lying safely in the young man's palm, moving towards her.
Lu Chun's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her head to look at him, her five fingers unconsciously clasped together in her palm.
Lu Qin had already raised his head, and seemed to feel that she was looking at him, so he showed a pair of big white teeth.
Lu Chunnong quickly took the money and held it in his palm, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. "How much money is here?"
"Ah?" Lu Qin was surprised that she spoke to him, but the content made his eyelids jump, and he felt a little guilty, even though he didn't do this.
"Here are eighty-nine yuan and thirty cents, and I'm still a few dozen short. I'll get it back later." He stared into her eyes.
Eighty-nine was the maximum he could get, and he still had to sell old hens and eggs to get the money.
As for the rest, he could only think of a way to get it together later.
Before Lu Qin could express her opinion, footsteps were heard in the corridor.
Lu Chunnong didn't say whether it was okay or not, and quickly counted out forty-seven yuan from his hand.
Lu Qin watched her walk forward and followed her.
Then he entered a house.
Before he even entered, Lu Qin heard a woman's voice, "Hey? Sun Laimei and Kong Dongning's family, right? I was just about to come find you. Your payment is already due."
An apology sounded, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I will pay it now, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Lu Chunnong took out the money he had prepared and handed it to her, then signed the bill. The small part of his ear that was exposed from his hair turned red.
Lu Qin, who was about to go in, paused. He put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the wall, and recalled something.
So if Lu Chunnong couldn't come up with the money, as in the plot, what would he do? And to whom would he be humbled?
Not long after, the sound of conversation reached the door and Lu Qin straightened up.
Lu Chunnong still had an apologetic smile on his face. After he came out and saw him, he walked towards Sun Laimei's ward without saying a word.
Lu Qin immediately followed obediently.
Sun Laimei and Zhou Guixiang felt like they had been waiting for a century. When they heard footsteps, they hurriedly looked towards the door.
As soon as he entered the room, Lu Qin felt a strong gaze falling on him.
Fortunately, Lu Chunnong didn't wait for Zhou Guixiang to speak. He took out five yuan and seventy cents from his pocket and stuffed it into her pocket. "Thank you, auntie."
Realizing what she had stuffed into her hand, Zhou Guixiang's face immediately lit up with a smile, "What are you thanking me for? You don't have to be so polite."
Her heart finally settled down. She had to say, she felt at ease. Zhou Guixiang looked at Lu Qin twice more and felt for the first time that he was reliable.
Sun Laimei's eyes darted back and forth between them, still confused.
Before she could think about it, her daughter-in-law came to her and said, "Mom, you hold this light one, we will be discharged from the hospital."
Then she turned her head and said, "I'll have to trouble you to hold my thing."
The invisible man Lu Qin quietly took his hands out of his pockets, having clearly received some kind of message.
His sister never forgave him.
How can this work? It's time for him to play his role.
Just as the two women were preparing to divide the work, he saw the opportunity and quickly got involved.
Lu Qin weighed the package Sun Laimei was holding, and under her surprised gaze, he handed it to Lu Chunnong. Then he hung the two items in front of Lu Chunnong on his arms and squatted down. "Auntie, come up."
No one reacted to this operation.
Sun Laimei was especially surprised. She stiffly turned her eyes away to see her daughter-in-law's reaction.
But the boy in front of him was already urging her naturally, "Come up quickly, Auntie, the nurse will be here soon."
After saying that, Lu Qin secretly glanced at Lu Chunnong, but she didn't even look at him, so he could only sigh silently.
In the end, Zhou Guixiang was the quickest to react, winking frequently, "Sister Sun, listen to your boy Lu Qin. It's not easy to walk all the way to the door."
This kid has not only become more sensible, but has also almost completely changed.
She looked very strange, but she didn't know how long she could last this time.
Sun Laimei also knew that her daughter-in-law was so stiff that she had to grit her teeth to support herself, so when she saw that her daughter-in-law didn't react, she lay down on her slowly and awkwardly.
The young man was thin, but his back was broad and comfortable.
Seeing him stand up steadily, Lu Chunnong looked away and picked up the child with the package as if nothing had happened. Zhou Guixiang hurriedly took the two packages. Lu Chunnong couldn't refuse, so he had to say thank you softly.
A group of people walked outside.
Maybe people of this era eat less or are generally malnourished, so when Lu Qin carried the person on his back, he didn't feel how heavy he was.
But the road is not short, and quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
Lu Qin finally realized how weak this body was.
His face flushed red from stretching, Lu Qin took a deep breath secretly, and even his breathing became heavy.
Sun Laimei went from feeling awkward and uncomfortable to surprised, and then slowly softened her heart. She remembered that he was only sixteen years old, and that he might have gritted his teeth and carried her because of a conflict with his sister. She secretly asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to put me down? I can walk on my own."
call--
Lu Qin shook his head. "No, I can carry it. Auntie, just don't move."
In order to clean up the mess for his original body and ask for forgiveness from his sister, he paid the price with his own actions.
I hope that after these few days, good days will be waiting for him.
Sun Laimei didn't turn around, so she didn't know that Zhou Guixiang and Lu Chunnong were not far away, so both of them heard what she said.
Zhou Guixiang reached up to grab the package and said, "Chun Nong, has your brother grown up?"
Lu Chunnong pursed her lips and said nothing, holding the child tightly, and inadvertently looked up at the figure in front of her.
Seeing this, Zhou Guixiang stopped trying to persuade her.
Uncle Lai Gen is a cattle herder in the village and comes to the town every day.
It’s almost the end of the year and the work in the team has basically been completed, so there are many people visiting the town.
When Lu Qin carried Sun Laimei on his back according to his memory to where the ox cart was parked, there were already four or five people swaying.
Uncle Lai Gen was feeding the cows with hay, and when he looked up he saw several people in front of him.
Zhou Guixiang was familiar with him. "Come on, come on, lend a hand."
The crowd was quite large, and with Zhou Guixiang's loud voice, it immediately attracted the attention of others, and the crowd automatically dispersed to make room for them.
Zhou Laigen spread straw on a corner of the ox cart, and Zhou Guixiang spread the prepared blanket on it. She turned around and told Lu Qin, "Come on, come on, go slowly, don't hurt your waist."
It took me more than half an hour to carry it, without a break.
Lu Qin forced a smile at Uncle Lai Gen. His back and legs had almost lost all feeling. He followed Zhou Guixiang's instructions and slowly lowered the person on his back. When he stood up, he supported himself with his hands on the edge of the ox cart.
Behind him, Lu Chunnong silently retracted his outstretched hand.
As soon as he stood up, Lu Qin rubbed his shoulders as if by telepathy, turned his head and smiled in the direction of his sister.
As a result, Lu Chunnong turned his gaze away and sat down on the other side of Sun Laimei with his luggage. Then he met the face of the other aunt and subconsciously called out, "Li,"
Before he could finish his words, the woman called Aunt Li turned her head away and ignored him.
Lu Qin was a bit embarrassed and could only swallow his words slowly. He raised his hand and patted his bangs as if nothing had happened. Now that he had played the victim, he could pay a little more attention to his image.
