Seeing Lu Chen coming, Jiang Guihua and Lu Dashan immediately laughed, but this laugh was directed at their new son-in-law and his younger brother.
"Son-in-law, Lu Chen is here. Don't you have something to ask him? Ask him now. If he knows, he will tell you!"
Hearing this, Wang Chengwen, the new son-in-law whom he had just met a few days ago, turned and looked at Lu Chen.
As for Lu Chen, he had heard some things from Lu Xiujuan when he got married to her, but because he knew that he was not very close to Lu Xiujuan's family, he did not have any special impression of him.
Looking at Lu Chen at this moment, he couldn't help but be surprised that this cousin who his wife described as "pitiful" and "fatherless and motherless" actually had handsome features and a slender and strong body. Apart from his expression being as cold as he imagined, he could be considered a handsome man.
Seeing him looking at him expressionlessly, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Lu Xiujuan next to him was timid by nature. Although she could be said to have grown up with Lu Chen, she dared to talk to him very few times. Later, after Lu Chen was driven to the old yard next door by his parents, she dared not to talk to him anymore, and she was too ashamed to talk to him, because she knew in her heart how cruel her parents' behavior was, which must have completely broken Lu Chen's heart.
So at this moment, as a cousin, she could only secretly tug at his clothes to remind her husband Wang Chengwen to speak up.
Wang Chengwen finally came back to his senses, glanced at his brother who was waiting beside him, and could only force out a polite smile before speaking to Lu Chen.
"Well, cousin Lu Chen, you've worked hard. I'm sorry to have wasted your time, but we just want to ask you a few questions."
Seeing that Lu Chen neither agreed nor refused, Wang Chengwen had no choice but to speak.
"That's right. I heard that you and Meng Yinyin and Meng Zhiqing have been working together recently, right? I wanted to ask if you know if Meng Zhiqing has a boyfriend or something..."
Originally, it was not appropriate for him, a grown man, to speak up about such things, but Wang's mother had to go to work today, so he had to come and ask his younger brother.
Hearing this, Lu Chen understood Wang Chengwen's meaning almost instantly.
Does he want to be a matchmaker for Meng Yinyin, or is there someone who likes Meng Yinyin
According to Meng Yinyin's appearance, this is actually a very normal thing, but for some reason, when he realized that Wang Chengwen wanted to introduce a date to Meng Yinyin, the first thought that came to his mind was resistance.
He didn't know why he didn't want to tell Wang Chengwen the answer he wanted. He looked at Wang Chengwen steadily, then finally lowered his eyes and whispered.
"have no idea."
He indeed had not asked Meng Yinyin these questions, so saying that he didn't know didn't mean that he was lying.
But at the same time, he was also very clear that Meng Yinyin probably didn't have a partner.
At least in the Nanjiao Brigade, she had no partner, because apart from herself, she had hardly ever spoken to any other young men. As for the educated youth site, she didn't seem to have much contact with the other male educated youth.
Even Song Yue, the most outstanding male educated youth, was described by her as annoying and irritating, which shows that the rest of the people were even less pleasing to her eyes.
But there was no need for him to tell these people.
After giving his answer, Lu Chen raised his head, turned around and prepared to leave.
If he had known in advance that Jiang Guihua asked him to come over for this matter, he would never have come here to waste time.
But just when Lu Chen was about to leave, Jiang Guihua beside him spoke in a shrill voice.
"Lu Chen, stop right there. Why are you walking? Can't you see that your brother-in-law hasn't finished asking you a question? Are you polite? You are so ignorant!"
Jiang Guihua values her city son-in-law very much, not to mention that his younger brother also came with her. Although she also disliked Meng Yinyin very much, she changed her mind and thought that her son-in-law's younger brother would get married in the future anyway. Instead of marrying someone else, it would be better to marry Meng Yinyin and be a matchmaker herself, which would also bring her many benefits!
That's why she was so active in this matter.
However, Lu Chen seemed to have not heard Jiang Guihua's call at all, and his figure quickly disappeared from their sight.
Seeing this, Jiang Guihua widened her eyes in surprise. Lu Chen actually ignored her directly. He was so bold!
Jiang Guihua cursed Lu Chen in her heart for being so shameless, and then she quickly turned around and said to the Wang Chengwen brothers with a smile.
"I'll go next door and talk to him. This kid just doesn't like to talk. He's still so ignorant even at this age!"
After saying that, Jiang Guihua quickly chased to the old courtyard next door.
Lu Dashan next door also had an embarrassed look on his face. He felt that he had lost all face for his nephew Lu Chen, who had always been obedient, just walking away. Especially in front of his new son-in-law and his two brothers, this bastard was simply too disrespectful to him. He would definitely teach him a lesson later!
"Cheng Wen, Cheng Wu, Lu Chen has been an orphan since he was a child, so there is no one to teach him. But you two don't have to worry. I am his uncle after all, and I raised him. He will definitely listen to what I say. You wait here for a while, and I will go over and talk to him."
After saying that, Lu Dashan quickly went to the next room.
Leaving behind the two Wang brothers and the anxious Lu Xiujuan.
Seeing that the two brothers of the Wang family, especially Wang Chengwu, had expressions of impatience, Lu Xiujuan became even more worried. In order to ensure that he would not turn around and leave because of impatient waiting, Lu Xiujuan could only think of an idea.
"I, I'll take you around my house. You haven't been around it yet, right? My house is quite big, and there are many rooms. ..."
Although Lu Xiujuan was rather timid in front of the Wang family, she was still somewhat proud of herself in her heart because her family's situation was the best in the brigade and they had such a grand house.
She planned to take the two brothers of the Wang family to have a good look around their home, so as to let them understand that their family conditions were not bad, at least they were the richest family in their brigade.
Wang Chengwen and Wang Chengwu really didn't want to continue waiting like this, so they agreed to Lu Xiujuan's suggestion and followed her into Lu's house.
Before, when the Wang family came to discuss the marriage with the Lu family, they at most sat in the Lu family's yard or the main hall for a while. Apart from these two places, they had never set foot in other places in the Lu family. Now, under Lu Xiujuan's almost ostentatious behavior, they almost locked all the houses in the Lu family, except for her brother Lu Jinbao's house, which was locked and returned to the town to study. They even went into Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua's houses.
However, Wang Chengwen didn't care much about the rooms in his wife's house. After all, it was impossible for him to live with her in the future.
However, his younger brother Wang Chengwu was quite surprised.
He had heard from his parents before that the Lu family was in good condition, but he thought it was only okay for the countryside. However, when he came to see it today, he found that the conditions were comparable to those of some families in the city.
Didn't he remember that the Lu family's ancestors were poor peasants for three generations? How could they have such a wealthy family
Wang Chengwu couldn't help but ask about his curiosity.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiujuan next to him turned pale because of his words, and almost slipped and fell, looking frightened by his question.
Wang Chengwu frowned slightly. Was there something wrong with the question he asked? Otherwise, why did Lu Xiujuan react so strongly
Lu Xiujuan quickly realized that her reaction was too big, and immediately avoided Wang Chengwu's sight, and explained hastily: "I, I actually don't know, I was still young at that time, maybe it was saved by grandma and others..."
She lied.
She is twenty-three years old this year, and the house has been renovated for nearly twenty years. Her memories of when she was three or four years old are mostly vague, but she still has impressions of some major events.
For example, when she was four years old, her second uncle and second aunt passed away one after another, and her second uncle's body was never found.
For example, in the second year after my second uncle and second aunt passed away, their family built this magnificent red brick house, and the family went from just making ends meet to no longer having to worry about food and clothing.
But she was young at that time, so she didn't know how this series of changes came about.
But precisely because she was young, her parents had no reservations when speaking, and she heard something she has never forgotten, which was - we must not let the second son's son know about this money!
She knew who the second son was. He was her cousin who was less than one year old.
It was not until she grew up and accidentally recalled these words that she realized the deeper meaning of her parents' words. Perhaps their family could be what it is today thanks to her second uncle!
On the one hand, Lu Xiujuan felt that her father's behavior was wrong, but on the other hand, she had long been accustomed to living in this house and enjoying the envious eyes of others. Her desire to confess to Lu Chen disappeared little by little over time. In the end, because of her guilty conscience, she no longer dared to look at Lu Chen or talk to him.
Wang Chengwu was not stupid. When he saw Lu Xiujuan's guilty look, he realized that the Lu family might be doing something shameful behind the scenes.
He frowned and couldn't help but look at his elder brother, who was listening carefully and didn't notice anything.
Wang Chengwu suddenly felt that he was worried to death.
If this matter had nothing to do with them, he would not bother to care, but now his eldest brother is married to Lu Xiujuan, so rounding it off, this matter is also related to their family.
He was not worried about anything else except whether the Lu family's affairs in the future would implicate his eldest brother and then implicate them.
It seems that he will have to talk about this with his parents when he gets home tonight.
At the same time, next door.
After Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua chased Lu Chen, they decided to teach him a lesson.
But what surprised them was that Lu Chen, who had always been obedient to them, actually rebelled this time!
No matter what they said, Lu Chen acted as if he didn't hear it at all. He had a cold face, cooked and lighted the fire, and treated them as air.
"Lu Chen, I think you are going against the grain. I asked you to answer a question, but who are you showing your stern face to? If Meng Yinyin married to the city, we would get a favor from the Wang family! She is not related to you at all, we are your family, and you are so ignorant. What's wrong? Could it be that you have a crush on her? Haha, I advise you to take a good look in the mirror. How dare someone like you covet others? Are you worthy?!"
Lu Dashan was so angry at his behavior that he felt his authority as an uncle was challenged, so without thinking, he raised his hand with a dark face, as if he was going to slap Lu Chen in the face.
However, when he raised his hand halfway, he was suddenly stopped by a huge force. His wrist seemed to be restrained by a pair of pliers, and his hand was twisted behind his back, making it impossible for him to break free.
Lu Dashan's face turned pale with pain, and all he could say was, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
Jiang Guihua, who was standing aside, watched the scene of Lu Chen restraining Lu Dashan with one hand, her face turned pale and her heart was filled with shock.
Lu Chen actually dared to resist. What was wrong with him? The key point was that he looked too scary. She didn't dare to get close to him!
Lu Chen's eyes were dark and gloomy, and he looked at Lu Dashan with a sullen face. The hostility and anger in his eyes could hardly be suppressed.
Amid Lu Dashan's wailing, he finally pushed him back hard and released his restraints.
Lu Dashan took several steps back and looked at Lu Chen in horror. The severe pain from his wrist made him feel as if he had never really known the "docile" and "stupid" nephew in front of him.
Especially at this moment, Lu Chen's eyes, which seemed like they were about to bring about a storm, made Lu Dashan frightened and afraid.
When would Lu Chen show this kind of expression? If this was the real him, then the look he showed before where he allowed them to bully him was probably just an act!
Thinking of this, Lu Dashan no longer dared to stay here. The next second, he didn't even bother to call Jiang Guihua and ran back to his home in a panic.
After he left, Jiang Guihua naturally didn't dare to stay alone, especially since Lu Chen's strange look just now was so scary, she was really scared.
So soon, Jiang Guihua also ran away.
The yard once again returned to a state where Lu Chen was the only one in it.
But at this moment he no longer had the heart to cook.
Lu Chen lowered his head expressionlessly, looking at his hands that he could not hold back like he did before. He stood there for a long time, and finally walked into the house with pursed lips.
He had not intended to fall out with Lu Dashan so early, but after what happened just now, Lu Dashan would probably be suspicious and wary of him.
It seems that he has to speed up his actions.
At noon that day, Lu Chen did not eat at home, but went to the captain's house.
…
Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua returned to their home angrily because of Lu Chen's abnormal behavior just now. They were very confused and only after seeing Wang Chengwen and his brother did they force themselves to calm down.
When Lu Xiujuan saw them coming back, she hurriedly asked how the investigation went.
Lu Dashan was embarrassed to say that not only did he not get anything out of Lu Chen, but he was almost beaten by that bastard Lu Chen.
He avoided answering and made another suggestion.
"Son-in-law, do you want to go see that educated young man Meng? I know where she is going to work this afternoon. How about I take you to see her? Don't worry, I will take you to a place where no one else can see you and won't let anyone else know about this."
Wang Chengwen didn't expect Lu Dashan to take the initiative to offer to take them to see Meng Yinyin. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at his younger brother Wang Chengwu.
Wang Chengwu said in a deep voice: "If it's not too much trouble, thank you Uncle Lu for your hard work."
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. We'll go after we've had dinner. Xiujuan, you take them around. Your mom and I will make lunch at home!"
Lu Xiujuan nodded obediently, and then took Wang Chengwen and Wang Chengwu out.
When going out, I will pass by Lu Chen's house next door.
Wang Chengwu had seen Lu Chen pass through the small door between the two courtyards with his own eyes before, so he naturally knew that the courtyard next door belonged to Lu Chen's family.
Therefore, when passing by the next yard, Wang Chengwu couldn't help but take a few more curious glances, and successfully earned Lu Xiujuan's nervous and flustered gaze.
Wang Chengwu felt more and more that there must be something unspeakable between his sister-in-law's family and Lu Chen.
He pretended not to notice and did not ask any more questions, and successfully saw Lu Xiujuan's relieved expression.
The three of them wandered around the brigade casually and soon returned to Lu's house for lunch.
After lunch break, Meng Yinyin left the educated youth site with a puffy face.
The reason why she was so angry when she woke up was naturally because she saw Song Yue, especially when Song Yue smiled at her with the scorebook in his hand. She knew at a glance that he would come to check the situation again in the afternoon.
So she probably ended up with zero work points again in the afternoon.
Although she has gotten used to it, she just finds Song Yue annoying!
In particular, she no longer dared to think about what the captain's reaction would be if he saw that she had scored zero goals the whole day.
Calling her over to give her a lecture was the least of her worries. What she was more afraid of was that he would send her away in a rage.
Woo!
Meng Yinyin whimpered in pain. It seemed that her plan to capture Lu Chen had to be accelerated.
After arriving at the work site, Meng Yinyin found that Lu Chen had arrived early and had already started working in the fields.
Meng Yinyin was envious and emotional.
Considering Lu Chen's hard work, there shouldn't be any problem in feeding her. She promised that she would try to eat as little as possible.
The situation in the afternoon was similar to that in the morning. After Meng Yinyin came, Lu Chen made a wreath for her again and then devoted himself to the work.
Song Yue also came over soon after. Meng Yinyin noticed him out of the corner of her eye, but she was too lazy to even glance at him. She closed her eyes and slept soundly beside him.
Song Yue didn't think there was anything wrong, and just stood there like he did in the morning. Then, he guessed that Meng Yinyin was almost asleep and would not do anything else, so he turned around and left to go somewhere else.
When he left, he saw Lu Dashan walking towards this side with two men.
He had a vague impression of one of the men, who seemed to be Lu Dashan's new son-in-law.
As for the other man
Song Yue narrowed his eyes and greeted Lu Dashan and the other two with a smile.
"Uncle Lu, what are you doing?"
When Lu Dashan saw Song Yue, he didn't take him seriously. He just smiled and explained, "Oh, isn't this my son-in-law who came over? He said he wanted to look around, so I took him for a walk first. Don't worry, Song Zhiqing, I will definitely finish the work within the specified time."
Song Yue smiled and said, "I still trust Lu Dashan. Since you still want to go shopping, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, the two sides passed each other.
But after walking a few steps, Song Yue began to feel a little confused.
He had just come from the direction where Lu Dashan and his group were heading, but there was nothing but fields over there, and there was no beautiful scenery worth appreciating.
Except for a certain Sleeping Beauty with a wreath.
The other man who had just walked with Lu Dashan looked to be of marriageable age. Could it be that...
If this is true, it would be interesting.
Thinking of Lu Chen's hungry wolf-like look when protecting his food, Song Yue couldn't help but chuckle, but the smile didn't even reach his eyes.
A guy like that is worthy of dreaming
On the other hand, Lu Dashan and the two brothers from the Wang family quickly arrived at where Lu Chen and Meng Yinyin were working. However, for the sake of caution, the three of them did not get too close, but they stood in a place where they could just see Meng Yinyin.
When Lu Dashan saw Meng Yinyin lying on the grass and sleeping soundly during working hours, he couldn't help but spit on her.
Anyone who marries such a lazy person would definitely marry a fool. Only a fool would marry him and then eat free meals at home.
However, just as he thought this, he noticed that Wang Chengwu's eyes lit up and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
Seeing this, Lu Dashan immediately felt relieved.
It seems that this person has taken a fancy to me.
"Xiao Wu, that's Meng Zhiqing. She might be tired from working, so she's taking a rest now. Um, she probably didn't do it on purpose."
In order to facilitate this marriage, Lu Dashan felt that he had put a lot of effort into it, and he also racked his brains to cover up Meng Yinyin's reputation for laziness.
However, Wang Chengwu doesn't care whether Meng Yinyin is diligent or lazy.
After all, it would be no problem for their family to keep an idle person who does nothing.
Meng Yinyin's appearance and temperament completely match the image of his wife, and are even better.
"Xiao Wu?"
Wang Chengwen, who was standing next to him, saw that his brother was in a trance, so he called out to him.
Wang Chengwu finally came back to his senses and smiled for the first time that day.
"Brother, let's go back."
Wang Chengwen said, "Oh," and asked him, "What do you think now? Do you like it or..."
Wang Chengwu felt helpless about his brother's slowness.
"Brother, I'm going to ask mom to find a matchmaker when I go back, what do you think?"
Only then did Wang Chengwen laugh.
"Oh, that's good, that's good, let's go back now and don't delay!"
After hearing this, Lu Dashan, who was standing by, felt that the matter was settled.
As for whether Meng Yinyin would reject this idea, he had never considered it at all.
After all, in his opinion, as long as you are not a fool, you will not refuse the Wang family.
The three of them came quickly and left quickly. No one except Song Yue knew they had been there.
When Meng Yinyin woke up in the afternoon, Lu Chen had just finished today's work, and even did some extra work for tomorrow.
Seeing that Meng Yinyin had woken up, Lu Chen handed her the film he brought in the afternoon, and also handed her a pair of scissors. Looking at Meng Yinyin's confused eyes, Lu Chen explained.
"Cut the film well and you will get work points."
Meng Yinyin suddenly realized what was going on after hearing this, and then gave Lu Chen a grateful smile.
"Don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"
If she can't do this kind of simple and light work well, then she is not lazy, but has a problem with her brain.
After Lu Chen demonstrated to her what style to cut the film into, Meng Yinyin lowered her head and conscientiously started to do the task that Lu Chen had specially assigned to her.
Although this task can only earn two work points, two is better than zero!
So when Song Yue came back here, he saw Meng Yinyin cutting the film slowly and in a good mood.
Noticing Song Yue's figure, Meng Yinyin couldn't help but snorted deliberately, as if to say to Song Yue: If you want to give me zero work points again, just give up on that idea!
Song Yue was not angry, and still had that good-tempered look. He just glanced at Lu Chen who was doing the next stage of work, and his smile suddenly became meaningful.
I didn't realize that this boy was really good to Meng Yinyin. He almost tried every possible way to help Meng Yinyin get work points.
But did he know that for someone like Meng Yinyin, instead of trying various ways to let Meng Yinyin earn those two pitiful work points within her ability, it would be better to keep her at home and not require her to work in the fields at all.
This is what suits her best.
It's a pity that someone like Lu Chen probably doesn't have such ability.
He was looking forward to seeing what expression Lu Chen would have on his face when he saw Meng Yinyin marry into the city.
It must be very painful, but there is no way to stop it.
Impotent rage
Quite interesting.
Song Yue smiled even more happily.
Meng Yinyin, who was standing by, glanced at him twice, and seeing that Song Yue's smile became even more disgusting, she immediately moved aside.
She was afraid that she would be contaminated by perverts!
Finally, Song Yue gave Meng Yinyin two work points and Lu Chen ten work points, then left.
Meng Yinyin then stood up, rubbed her sore wrist, and subconsciously said to Lu Chen: "Let's go, let's go back."
However, Lu Chen did not leave. Instead, he stood still. Meng Yinyin looked at him puzzledly and saw that Lu Chen seemed to have something to say to her.
Meng Yinyin took the initiative to ask: "What's wrong?"
Lu Chen glanced at her, his tone sounding somewhat guilty and worried.
"I'm going to take a day off tomorrow and go to town."
So he probably won't be able to come to work tomorrow.
In this case, Meng Yinyin will be the only one working here.
Of course, he may not be able to work, and at most he will just continue to slack off here.
But she was alone here, especially in recent days, Song Yue became the scorekeeper, so he had a reason to keep an eye on Meng Yinyin openly. If she was left here alone, Lu Chen would inevitably worry.
But he has to go to town tomorrow.
"Ah? You are going to town!" Meng Yinyin's face was full of surprise as he expected, but after being surprised, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"I want to go too! I'll ask the captain for leave soon. You wait for me tomorrow and we can go together!"
Lu Chen never expected that Meng Yinyin would also go to the town. He had even thought about it. He would go find the captain and ask Meng Yinyin to temporarily go and work with the main force. In short, he must not let her be left alone with Song Yue.
"Oh, I have something too, something very important!"
Meng Yinyin would never tell Lu Chen that she was going to buy cloth to make clothes for him. How could she tell him such a thing? This was a surprise and a secret!
She was worried about not being able to find anyone to accompany her a few days ago, and now Lu Chen said he was going. Meng Yinyin felt that this might be God helping her.
With Lu Chen with her, she suddenly felt less resistant to Lu Chen's two-hour trip to town.
Seeing that Meng Yinyin seemed to really have something to go to town for, Lu Chen stopped talking and even breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Okay, I'll go with you to find the captain."
"Uh-huh!"
Meng Yinyin nodded vigorously, already looking forward to going to town tomorrow.
In addition to fabrics, she wants to buy many other things, including vanishing cream, snacks and cakes, mosquito coils, soaps, etc. She has to make a careful list when she gets home in the evening!
However, when she went to ask for leave from the team leader, she was still lectured by him, saying that she had just asked for leave two days ago, so why did she need to ask for leave again
Then Meng Yinyin blinked her big eyes and stretched out her arm innocently: "Captain, there are too many mosquitoes here. I have to buy mosquito coils and other daily necessities."
I saw several red pimples on the arm, which stood out particularly against the snow-white skin.
Captain: “…”
He really had never seen such a delicate person!
Seeing that the captain seemed unwilling to give in, Meng Yinyin could only lower her head and sob aggrievedly.
"I'm sorry, Captain. I don't want this to happen, but I can't sleep well when I'm bitten by mosquitoes. If I can't sleep well, I can't work seriously, and then the progress of the entire production team will be affected. I..."
If we continue to talk about this, will it involve the entire country and society
The captain was already numb, and finally he could only wave his hands as if giving up: "Okay, okay, go ahead, buy everything for me at once tomorrow, otherwise I won't approve your leave!"
yeah!
Although there were some unexpected things during the process, I was able to successfully take leave in the end.
Meng Yinyin walked to the captain's door and couldn't help but narrow her eyes and smile at Lu Chen, using her expression to tell him that she had succeeded.
"Where shall we meet tomorrow morning?"
Lu Chen thought for a moment: "There is a small bridge outside the village, see you there."
Well, Meng Yinyin knew that he still wanted to avoid suspicion, so she was too lazy to correct him.
Anyway, when she finishes making the clothes and gives them to him, Lu Chen will never be able to escape from her grasp again!
Meng Yinyin clenched her fists and encouraged herself.
However, when she returned to the dormitory and made a shopping list, her tone suddenly leaked out.
She searched left and right, almost turning over her entire suitcase, but she didn't find a single cloth coupon!
Meng Yinyin was stunned.
How can she buy cloth without cloth coupons
Feeling nervous, Meng Yinyin had no choice but to go find Yu Xiaoyu. Unfortunately, Yu Xiaoyu had some cloth coupons, but they were far from enough for Meng Yinyin to make a piece of clothing.
Seeing Meng Yinyin's expression instantly fall, Yu Xiaoyu couldn't help feeling guilty.
"I'm sorry, Yinyin. How about I go ask other people and see if I can get some for you?"
Meng Yinyin came to her senses after hearing that, and refused without even thinking about it.
She didn't want other people to know that she bought the cloth, especially since they would definitely ask her what she bought the cloth for. If they knew that the clothes she made were not for herself, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.
Of course, the biggest reason is that she doesn't want to borrow things from other unfamiliar people.
But there are not enough cloth coupons. What should I do
Meng Yinyin looked at the clothes laid out on her bed, thinking sadly that it would have been better if she had brought one less piece of clothing and then exchanged that piece of clothing for cloth.
pity.
But wait
Meng Yinyin seemed to suddenly think of something and her eyes fell on the pile of clothes.
Who said her clothes couldn't be turned into fabric
She seemed to have figured out a solution!
… .
Early the next morning, Meng Yinyin said goodbye to Yu Xiaoyu mysteriously, carrying a small bag on her back, and set off for the small bridge outside the brigade.
Before she reached the bridge, she saw Lu Chen already waiting there.
She didn't know how long he had been waiting, but it was obvious that it had been a while.
"I'm here, let's go, let's go to town!"
Meng Yinyin can't wait to go to town now. After all, time is tight and she has important things to do!
Lu Chen didn't think much about it and just regarded Meng Yinyin's urging as the novelty of her first trip to the town.
The two of them set off towards the town.
They set out very early, before the sun came out. According to a normal person's pace, they would be able to reach the town before the sun came out.
But it was obvious that Lu Chen overestimated Meng Yinyin's level.
Seeing that they had been walking for nearly half an hour but had not yet reached half of the usual distance, Lu Chen was completely helpless.
But Meng Yinyin was still panting, her little face flushed with fatigue, and she kept fanning herself with her hands.
When she walked under a tree, she finally couldn't help but stop and leaned against the tree. Her usually clear and bright eyes were now covered with a layer of mist. She looked aggrieved and pitiful, very lovable.
"Lu Chen, I can't walk anymore..."
Meng Yinyin bit her lip and looked at Lu Chen eagerly.
Lu Chen had never encountered such a situation before. The two-hour journey was not difficult for him at all, but...
Looking at Meng Yinyin's expression that said "If I go any further I'll die here", he felt helpless and amused.
But the most important thing now is to find a way to take Meng Yinyin forward.
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen made sure that there were no other people around except the two of them, and then hesitantly said to Meng Yinyin: "I carry you?"
Meng Yinyin's eyes lit up instantly, and she wished she could lie on Lu Chen's back in the next second.
But she still pretended to be reserved and asked him, "Are you tired?"
Lu Chen shook his head honestly: "No."
After saying that, he added another sentence seriously, as if afraid that Meng Yinyin wouldn't believe it.
"I once carried a 150-pound sow to town."
The sow was sick, and they only had a veterinarian in town.
The implication is that Meng Yinyin is not as heavy as the sow, so he will definitely not get tired.
Meng Yinyin: “…”
Sow, he actually compared himself to a sow!
Meng Yinyin was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
Finally, she couldn't help it and glared at him fiercely, then jumped directly onto Lu Chen's back angrily, deliberately tightened his neck, and asked a question.
“Am I heavy?”
Lu Chen didn't understand why Meng Yinyin suddenly got angry. Just when he was about to shake his head and say it wasn't heavy, he heard Meng Yinyin continue to ask, "Is it more comfortable for the sow to carry you, or for me to carry you?"
Lu Chen froze.
He felt like he knew why Meng Yinyin was angry just now.
In the end, because of the topic of "Who is more comfortable to carry, the sow or Meng Yinyin", Lu Chen did not dare to mention "sow" again throughout the whole process. Meng Yinyin's anger gradually dissipated with his steady footsteps, and completely disappeared when Lu Chen habitually made a wreath for her.
Then, wearing the garland, she lay on Lu Chen's back and slowly fell asleep, with the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised.
When they were still a short distance away from the town, Meng Yinyin was awakened by Lu Chen and went back to the ground.
It was Meng Yinyin's first time to visit the town. Although the town was not prosperous, she was still looking forward to this trip.
When they were about to enter the town, Meng Yinyin suddenly remembered to ask Lu Chen what he was doing in the town and where he was going.
Lu Chen was silent for a few seconds before speaking.
"To the post office."
Go to the post office
Withdraw money? Receive mail? Or send mail
However, seeing that Lu Chen had no intention of continuing to explain, Meng Yinyin politely stopped asking questions. She only asked how long it would take him to go to the post office.
"This is my first time in town. I'm not familiar with this place at all, so I want you to accompany me around."
Meng Yinyin didn't think anything of it when she said this. She was so pretty, what if she ran into a bad guy on the road
Of course, public security is very good now and this situation almost does not exist.
But she just wanted Lu Chen to accompany her, so that she would feel more at ease.
