"If you don't want to go in, you can ask the people around you. They are all members of the brigade, so they will definitely know." When the female educated youth heard Lin Zhiwei say this, she knew that he must have some evil intentions, so she said directly that if he didn't believe it, he could ask the people in the brigade.
"Just ask." Lin Zhiwei was unwilling to accept that the woman he was going to pursue would be someone else's wife, so he really put down the hoe in his hand and went to ask around.
"Yes, they are a couple. Look at the two children next to them, they are their twin sons." When an old lady heard Lin Zhiwei's question, she said with envy:
Besides, even though the son-in-law of the Lu family is a soldier, he is very kind to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. After they got married, he moved to the city with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Everyone who saw this would be envious. "
When Lin Zhiwei heard the old lady say this, his heart immediately sank. He had to know that he had finally found a woman with good conditions, but before he could take any action, she got married and had children.
How can he pursue her like this?
Don’t you mention whether they are married or have children?
Just say that the person is looking for a soldier. If you really pursue that woman, it would be destroying a military marriage.
He didn't want to be arrested for such a trivial matter, so he could only suppress his wavering heart.
Then he went back dejectedly, picked up the hoe, lowered his head and started working in silence.
"Look, I've already told you that they are a couple. If you still don't believe me, go ask them." Seeing Lin Zhiwei coming back dejected, the female educated youth couldn't help but criticize him.
"That's enough, that's enough, stop talking." Seeing that veins were popping out of Lin Zhiwei's hands as he gripped the hoe, the people around him immediately stopped the young woman from speaking.
The female educated youth followed her companion's gaze and saw Lin Zhiwei's hands with bulging veins. She closed her mouth with a look of disdain and ignored him.
Gu Mingze had no idea that his potential love rival had just disappeared on his own. If he had known, he would have laughed in disdain.
At this time, Gu Mingze and Lu Qingyan led the children back to the yard and saw Lu's mother killing a chicken in the yard.
"Mom, where did you get the chicken? Did you kill the old hen at home?" Lu Qingyan walked over quickly and looked at the chicken that her mother was plucking, and asked in surprise.
When Gangzi and Shitou heard what his aunt said, they instantly became nervous.
You know, their family relies on the eggs laid by those two old hens, and they exchange them for oil and salt at the supply and marketing cooperative.
If they were really killed by his grandmother, they would both cry, right?
"No, I went to someone else's house to exchange it after you went up the mountain." Seeing the nervous expressions of her two grandsons, Mother Lu immediately explained that she did not kill her own old hen.
Gangzi and Shitou were no longer nervous when they heard what their grandmother said, but at the same time they looked distressed.
Section 84
Because their uncle-in-law had already caught a pheasant and a rabbit.
The grandmother bought another old hen. How much did it cost? She was so distressed for them.
"Ah? Bought it?" When Lu Qingyan heard her mother say that the hen was bought, she whispered in her mother's ear: "Mingze caught a pheasant and a rabbit, and wanted us to come back early so that you could stew them. But you bought the hen, so what are you going to do with the pheasant and the rabbit?"
"I'll pickle the rabbits later and save them for your eldest brother and the two children to eat slowly. Let's stew the pheasant in the evening and have a good meal together." Mother Lu didn't expect that her daughter and son-in-law could catch pheasants and rabbits in the mountains.
But now he had already killed the hen, so he could only eat this chicken at noon. He would eat the remaining pheasant in the evening, and pickle the rabbit for his two grandchildren to eat slowly in the future.
"That's fine." When Lu Qingyan heard her mother say that, she nodded and agreed. Then she told the children to wash their hands, washed her hands herself, and then let the children play in the yard.
She called Gu Mingze to go back to the house to talk.
"What's wrong?" Gu Mingze asked his wife as he sat on the kang after entering the house.
"How were your parents treating you when you went home today? Should we take the kids back to see them?" Lu Qingyan knew that the man came home so early today. It must be that his parents-in-law spoke to him in a bad tone, otherwise he wouldn't have come back so soon.
"Go back and visit in two days." Gu Mingze kept silent when his wife asked him how his parents felt about him. He only said that he could go back and visit his parents in two days.
"Then let's go to the commune and buy some things. After all, it's not good to take the children back empty-handed." Seeing that the man didn't say how his parents-in-law treated him, Lu Qingyan could only change the subject.
"Okay, I just happen to have some meat coupons in my pocket, so I can buy some meat and some other things." Gu Mingze bought a lot of things for his parents this time, so if they go again, they just need to buy less things.
"Yeah." Seeing the man like this, Lu Qingyan didn't know what to ask or what not to ask.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me." Gu Mingze looked at his wife standing there with an embarrassed look on her face, and said with a smile that he was fine and there was no need to worry about him.
"Well, no matter what, you still have me and the children." Lu Qingyan stepped forward and hugged the man, saying gently
"I know, having you is enough for me." Gu Mingze hugged his wife with both hands and said with satisfaction.
He really thought so. Since his parents treated him like this, he could only focus all his attention on his wife and children.
Only in this way can he feel that he still has a happy family.
"Okay, let's go out. Don't come back and stay at home every day." Seeing that the man was really fine, Lu Qingyan let him go and told him to go out and sit down.
It was just in time, it was almost noon, and everyone was slowly returning from work.
Lu Qinglin and his wife, and Lu Qingmu and his wife were listening to their eldest brother talking about his parents and his younger brother-in-law coming back.
After work, they all went to Lu Qingshan's house together.
This made Lu's mother, who was cooking in the kitchen, immediately frown.
You know, I just want to give my eldest son and two grandsons some good nourishment.
Well, a bunch of people came at once, and the old hen I stewed is not enough to eat.
But the chicken has already been stewed. If I don’t serve it out, my two daughters-in-law will say that I am biased.
To be honest, she wasn't biased, but of course she felt sad when she saw her two grandsons were so thin and lost their mother at such a young age.
After all, the other grandchildren all have parents, and it is not their turn to care for them.
So after she came back, she focused all her attention on her two grandchildren and didn't care about her other grandchildren.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, third brother, third sister-in-law, you are here." Lu Qingyan had no idea what her mother was thinking. She was pulling the two children and introducing them to each other.
"Little sister, these two children are really well taken care of by their mother. They look plump and fair."
With just one sentence, the lively atmosphere in the yard suddenly cooled down.
