Chapter 61
Lu Qin opened the door with messy hair, still holding Kong Dongdong in his right hand. His soft short hair was also messy. He opened his eyes hazily.
Seeing that the person who was supposed to go to work was still waiting in the yard, he yawned and said in surprise, "Brother-in-law, you didn't go to work?"
Kong Yue took the bamboo baskets made by Sun Laimei to the purchasing station early in the morning to exchange for money. When he came back, he fetched water and cleaned the yard without a moment's rest.
Kong Yue looked at the younger one, who was being picked up by the older one, with a flushed face.
He stood up and stretched out his hand. Lu Qin naturally let go, not worrying that he would fall. Kong Dongdong fell into his father's arms and woke up immediately.
"Pack up and I'll take you there." He reached out and smoothed Kong Dongdong's messy hair. After all, it was Sunday and he could go later.
Lu Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh!"
Lu Chunnong and Sun Laimei were both busy, and there was still hot porridge and two boiled eggs in the kitchen. Lu Qin just took a couple of bites.
When they walked to the bicycle, he held Kong Dongdong in front of him. Kong Dongdong thought his uncle wanted to hug him, so he stretched out his hands instead.
Lu Qin reached out and held him down, "Just sit here."
"uncle!"
Kong Yue closed the door and came over, "Where's the suspenders?"
So, everyone in the Dongyang Brigade saw Kong Yue riding a bicycle that day, with one person tied to the front and another on the back.
Someone said, "It's like raising two sons."
I was so envious. Everyone knew that Lu Qin had recently found a proper job in the city and was sitting in an office every day.
They heard all this from Sun Laimei.
Thinking about how he had told them he wanted to study, only to go to work in a factory the next day, the aunts who were present at the time felt like they had been tricked. But there was nothing they could do.
When they arrived at the county town, Lu Qin put the shoulder strap into the army green package he was carrying across his body, and was holding two bundles of vegetables in his hands.
He held Kong Dongdong's hand and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm leaving now. I'll find you this afternoon."
By the way, take Kong Dongdong to see where his father works and let him learn from him.
Kong Dongdong stood obediently beside his uncle, his little eyes filled with unconcealable joy.
Looking at the impatient expressions of the two, one big and one small, Kong Yue frowned and warned him, "Don't cause trouble."
Even though he had a stable job, Kong Yue was still worried about him.
Lu Qin waved his hand and left with his nephew without hesitation.
I saw a big and a small child walking along the wall. The big one knew to let the small one walk inside to avoid being bumped by passers-by.
Kong Dongdong plays with the children from Dongyang Brigade every day, and his leg strength has improved a little.
But one characteristic of children's walking is that they like to tiptoe, and they tiptoe as they walk, appearing to be very happy.
Kong Yue watched their backs disappear in the distance, rubbed his brows, and rode away on his bicycle.
Not long after turning the wall, Lu Qin could clearly feel that his shoulders were one higher than the other. His left shoulder was lowered so that he could hold Kong Dongdong. Unable to bear it any longer, he picked up Kong Dongdong and said, "Tsk, let your uncle carry you."
He is just a worrier.
"Thank you, uncle." Kong Dongdong lay on his shoulder, looking around with his little eyes. Coming to a strange place, there was curiosity unique to children in his eyes.
It was still early, and Lu Qin was going to visit his aunt Sun Juan. It was thanks to them that they had gotten him into the food factory.
It was a sunny day. It was March, but the spring rain had not yet come. Lu Qin had been here twice and had memorized the route.
On Sundays, many families brought their children out to play downstairs. The children ran around chattering, while the woman sat on the bamboo chair, knitting sweaters skillfully, threading the needle and sewing the soles of shoes, and occasionally paying attention to the children.
I have to say that the traffickers’ propaganda is effective.
As soon as they saw a stranger coming, the children ran away with their legs spread out.
When the adults heard the noise and looked over, they saw a handsome young man holding a child and carrying a bundle of vegetables walking towards them. The child in his arms was very frightened at first sight.
At first glance, he doesn't look like a liar.
"Hello, aunties and sisters. The weather is nice today. Come enjoy the sunshine!" The young man walked closer and greeted them with a smile.
They smiled back unconsciously and nodded.
After the person walked away, he stared at his back for a long time before reacting.
"Who is this?"
"I don't know him, is there such a handsome guy around here?"
"Tsk, no, why do I think he looks familiar?"
They gathered together chattering.
Lu Qin had already walked upstairs, and he reminded the little one in his arms, "Remember what your uncle taught you, okay?"
"Yeah!" Kong Dongdong nodded.
At the Qin family, all three members happened to be there. Qin Minghai was in the house, while Sun Juan and Qin Shi were sitting in the living room, with a middle-aged woman with short hair sitting opposite them.
Qin Shi lowered his head and tried to get up and go back to the house several times.
The middle-aged woman took a sip of water from her cup, casually examining Qin Shi. "He's the third child in the family. His two older brothers are married and have children. He also has a younger sister who works as a temporary worker in a textile factory. The whole family lives in a house provided by the factory..."
The woman had come to make the introduction. It was the man's family who had asked her to do it, so she had thought of Sun Juan's family. She was somewhat acquainted with Sun Juan, and she knew that the rumors about Qin Shi having a boyfriend were false.
Moreover, Sun Juan has only one daughter, and the man she introduced is the third child in the family. According to the current situation, this means that the burden of support will most likely fall on the first two sons. By then, the Qin family may even get a son for free.
Sun Juan was not as interested as she had imagined. Seeing her daughter's lack of interest, she asked, "What's his temperament like?"
"I'm a very honest person. I've never been in a relationship before. I work in a food factory now."
Just as he said this, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Minghai came out of the room and glanced at the sofa. "I'll go."
The inner room was only a few steps away from the main door. Qin Minghai wondered if someone was visiting. "Who is it?"
As his voice fell, almost at the same time the door opened, he was suddenly met with a pair of small black eyes.
The little boy looks strangely familiar.
He raised his eyes, and when he saw who it was, a smile appeared on his usually serious face. "You kid, it's been a long time since we last met. Come in."
That’s right. We only met once before the New Year, but now that I’m busy, it feels like a long time has passed.
Lu Qin smiled and said, "Today is Sunday and the factory is closed. I came here because I was thinking of my uncle and aunt."
He has been able to accept the enthusiasm of people of this generation and respond with the same enthusiasm.
Sun Juan was sitting on a bench with her back to the door when she heard the voice, "Ming Hai, who is that?"
Why does the voice sound so familiar?
"Aunt, it's me, Lu Qin!"
Lu Qin shouted inside.
"Oh!" A hint of surprise flashed in Sun Juan's eyes, but at the same time, the joy on her face was not fake.
The middle-aged woman saw that they had someone visiting them and said, "Since you are busy, I will leave first."
Qin Shi was eager to do so.
The woman took a deliberate look as she passed by the door, but was stunned when she saw the young man's appearance. She was so shocked that she almost bumped into the door frame.
Lu Qin noticed the unfamiliar gaze, nodded at her, and then followed Qin Minghai.
During the break, Lu Qin came in carrying something and someone.
"This is..." Qin Minghai noticed the child in his arms.
The child was quite well-behaved. He sat on his uncle's arm and greeted him in a baby voice, "Hello, Grandpa."
“Hey!”
Lu Qin introduced, "His name is Kong Dongdong, and he's my nephew."
"Oh!" Qin Minghai remembered, isn't this the public security officer named Kong Yue?
But the uncle and nephew look quite similar.
Sun Juan had already come over, followed by Qin Shi, "Why don't you come in and stand at the door to chat?"
"Come in first, come in and talk. Hey, this is..."
Sun Juan asked the same question.
So Lu Qin explained it again, and he shook Kong Dongdong's little hand to signal him to say hello.
Fortunately, Kong Dongdong always gave face, "Hello, grandma!"
The child's voice was so sweet that Sun Juan's heart melted. "Why are you so well behaved? Come in first and talk."
At Sun Juan's invitation, Lu Qin walked in, but first he picked up the bundle of vegetables in his hand and said, "Auntie, these are vegetables grown at home, freshly picked, and can be simply stir-fried. Can you tell me where to put them?"
"Just come if you want to. Why are you being so polite?" Sun Juan was telling the truth.
But Lu Qin was more practical than him. "Spring has arrived, and these vegetables are growing well, but they're not worth much. Auntie, why don't you try some? My aunt just stir-fried them yesterday, and they're really tender and fresh."
Sun Juan was moved by what he said. She looked down and saw that although it was a bunch of vegetables, they were clearly classified and well-organized. "Oh, there are also these vegetables. Fine, I'll take them."
This is how favors are. No matter how valuable they are, they are always give and take.
Several people sat down on the sofa. Qin Shi went to the cabinet beside her and found some biscuits and candies. After hesitating for a moment, she walked over to Kong Dongdong and asked him softly, "Here, do you want some candy?"
Kong Dongdong sat on his uncle's lap and looked up at his uncle.
Sun Juan has been paying attention to this side, "Look at what your uncle is doing, keep it."
She rarely saw such a well-behaved child, who didn't make any noise or noise.
As she spoke, she was about to force it into his hands.
Kong Dongdong stretched out his little hand and took one without being greedy. "Thank you, sister."
Lu Qin raised his eyebrows. He actually remembered it.
Qin Shi was amused by him, "You're welcome."
Lu Qin looked at Qin Minghai and started talking about business. "Thank you, uncle and aunt, for the work."
Qin Minghai was pouring tea and was not surprised to hear this, but he asked, "No need to thank me, that's the result of your own hard work. How about this week?"
It is easy for men to talk about work when they sit together.
He summed it up briefly, his face full of enthusiasm, "The job is suitable, and the colleagues around me are easy to get along with."
In short, no complaints.
Qin Minghai encouraged him, "Then work hard and think upwards. If you encounter any difficulties, tell us."
Sun Juan echoed from the side, "You have good abilities, and you will definitely be promoted soon."
"Then I'll take my uncle and aunt's good wishes."
Next, Lu Qin told them what happened in the factory. Seeing that the time was almost up, he hugged Kong Dongdong, who had been talking non-stop, and stood up to say goodbye.
"Today is not Sunday, let's eat first before leaving." Sun Juan glanced at her watch and enthusiastically wanted to keep him. "It's just right, we can have a snack at home."
"No need, auntie. I have an appointment with some colleagues and I have to go over there later. I will definitely come to eat next time."
Kong Dongdong looked up at his uncle, and Lu Qin stroked his little hair.
Since that was the case, Sun Juan couldn't stay any longer. "Then I'll definitely come next time."
She also stuffed a lot of things into Kong Dongdong's pocket.
Lu Qin looked embarrassed and couldn't hide away even though he was holding the person.
