Lu Chen’s background
Meng Yinyin was surprised for a moment, and her confusion deepened.
She had been in the South Suburbs Brigade for so long, and after having gone through the process of taking everything that belonged to Lu Chen from Lu Dashan together with him, she thought she had a pretty good understanding of Lu Chen's background.
Now that Dong Qingcheng said this, it seemed as if there was something she didn't know.
Could it be that Lu Chen was hiding something from him? But even if he was hiding something, how did the person in front of him know
The balance in Meng Yinyin's heart was shaken, but she finally made the decisive choice to believe Lu Chen.
"I will ask Lu Chen about his affairs myself. Comrade, if you have nothing else to do, please go back first."
Dong Qingcheng didn't expect Meng Yinyin to give such an answer. He thought she would ask him about something out of curiosity.
These two people were more unexpected than the other.
However, Dong Qingcheng didn't really want to tell Meng Yinyin about this. After all, things hadn't been clarified yet, and if he told her, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble. As for why he came to find Meng Yinyin, it was naturally...
"Comrade Dong!"
As expected, Lu Chen's low voice was heard in the yard.
Dong Qingcheng looked up and successfully saw Lu Chen standing there staring at him, his eyes were dark and contained a warning.
Dong Qingcheng shrugged at him and said deliberately to Lu Chen.
"Since you don't want to talk to me, I can only talk to your family. As your family member, she should have the right to know."
"But I'm not sure if I'll accidentally say something wrong."
Otherwise, he would have to wait and harass Meng Yinyin all the time.
Dong Qingcheng knew that what he did was shameless, but he could no longer care about that.
They have been searching for the truth for more than 20 years, and now there is an opportunity that he must seize and do everything he can to solve the mystery!
The two people's eyes were silently competing in the air.
Dong Qingcheng was gambling, gambling on how much Lu Chen cared about the educated young man Meng in front of him.
Finally, when he saw Lu Chen say "OK" to him in a deep voice, he knew that his bet was right, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Meng Yinyin looked at Dong Qingcheng on the left and Lu Chen on the right, having no idea what they were talking about.
Lu Chen walked over and said to Meng Yinyin, "You go in and eat first. I want to talk to him."
It was obvious that the two of them had something to say, but Meng Yinyin didn't say much. She turned around and went into the house to eat.
After her figure disappeared, Lu Chen called Dong Qingcheng to go out.
He took him to a bamboo forest not far from home. There was no one around, so it was a good place to talk.
After standing still, Dong Qingcheng restrained his previous deliberately shameless expression and spoke to Lu Chen seriously.
"I want to apologize to you and that educated young man Meng for what happened just now, but Lu Chen, please understand my painstaking efforts. Our Dong family has been looking for my aunt for many years, and I must get to the bottom of this matter."
Since he had already agreed to talk to him, Lu Chen no longer resisted, but just didn't want to listen to his nonsense.
He interrupted him and spoke directly.
"Let's get down to business. If you want to know something, I'll tell you what I know."
Seeing this, Dong Qingcheng did not delay any longer and quickly asked all the questions he wanted to know.
What he wanted to know was nothing more than how Lu Chen's mother died, whether her family was still around, her experiences from childhood to adulthood, and so on.
It's a pity that among so many questions, the only question Lu Chen could answer was only one, which was that his mother died giving birth to him. As for the others, he knew nothing.
Dong Qingcheng never expected things to turn out like this. After hearing Lu Chen's words, he was silent for a long time before finally speaking with difficulty.
"Then your mother's relatives..."
"No."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he added another sentence.
"I only had one grandfather, and he died before I was born. I have never seen or heard of the rest."
Dong Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and a certain premonition became stronger.
There is only one grandfather and no other relatives. Does that mean that Lu Chen's grandfather might have been a lonely old man
It's just a pity that his grandfather had passed away many years before Lu Chen was born, and his mother also died of complications during childbirth, so he had no chance to ask about related matters.
Furthermore, Lu Chen's life was not easy after he was born. He was busy making a living and surviving was a problem. Naturally, he had no extra time to explore everything about his mother and grandfather.
It seemed that the clues ended here. Apart from knowing the cause of death of Lu Chen's mother and the general situation of her family, Dong Qingcheng had no other useful information. This made it impossible for him to determine whether Lu Chen's mother was his lost aunt.
Lu Chen naturally saw something from his furrowed brows, but unfortunately, he did not feel worried for Dong Qingcheng.
"I have told you everything you want to know, and please do what you should do."
Dong Qingcheng naturally knew what he should do, which was not to disturb Meng Yinyin.
He nodded, said just OK, then left with a frown and a melancholy look on his face.
Lu Chen stood there for a while, watching his back disappear from his sight before slowly turning around and going home.
As for whether Dong Qingcheng left in disappointment or where he went, he didn't care at all.
When Lu Chen returned home, he heard two voices of laughter coming from the inner yard while he was still at the door.
"Yinyin, your hairpin is really pretty. I never knew Lu Chen had such good taste."
"It's OK."
Although she said this, one can tell from her tone and expression that Meng Yinyin doesn't just think the hairpin is okay, she thinks it's amazing!
Of course Yu Xiaoyu would not expose her directly. She just winked at her and smiled twice, and Meng Yinyin's cheeks turned red instantly.
The two girls were chattering and laughing, and Lu Chen silently raised the corner of his mouth at the door, and the uneasiness in his heart finally subsided.
He was actually not sure whether Meng Yinyin would like the hairpin he bought. He knew that she had high standards and he had poor taste, so he was actually very nervous when buying it.
But fortunately, he could hear that Meng Yinyin was not dissatisfied with the hairpin, so he felt relieved.
Just as he was about to go in, he suddenly heard Yu Xiaoyu change the topic. Her voice also lowered a bit, and she asked Meng Yinyin mysteriously.
"By the way, Yinyin, when Lu Chen came back and saw you cooking for him, how did he react? Was he overjoyed?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen's feet instantly stopped in the air, his eyes filled with surprise.
Meng Yinyin was happily touching her hairpin, but when Yu Xiaoyu asked her this, she remembered the dark stewed potatoes in the pot, and her face suddenly fell.
She sounded extremely depressed.
"Don't mention it. I was embarrassed to tell him that I was learning how to cook. The dishes I cooked the past two days were pretty good. But when he came back today, he saw that not only was my face dirty, but the pot was also burnt!"
It was really too embarrassing. Meng Yinyin would never tell Lu Chen that she was concentrating on learning how to cook, and she was cooking for him!
Yu Xiaoyu felt embarrassed just thinking about that scene, and quickly said, "Okay, then don't tell him yet. Wait until you make a delicious dish and tell him one day, and give him a surprise!"
This is the only way now. Unfortunately, after Lu Chen comes back, she probably won't have many opportunities to be the chef. Meng Yinyin couldn't help but feel a little worried.
What she didn't know was that Lu Chen at the gate of the courtyard already knew her plan and was extremely happy.
It turned out that during the time he was away from home, not only he missed her, but Yinyin also missed him and even wanted to prepare a surprise for him.
This feeling of being remembered by someone was unfamiliar to Lu Chen, but it was also a surprise.
Even if the food she cooked was terrible, she cooked it for him and he thought it was definitely the most delicious food in the world!
However, thinking of what Meng Yinyin had just said, Lu Chen decided to pretend that he didn't know about it.
He deliberately made a few noises at the door, and after making sure that the two people in the yard had heard it, he slowly walked in.
After entering, Meng Yinyin and Yu Xiaoyu did not continue the previous topic.
One of them greeted him politely, while the other looked up at him and asked about Dong Qingcheng.
"Have you dealt with your business?" Meng Yinyin looked at him curiously.
Lu Chen nodded and told him not to worry.
"He won't bother you anymore."
That wasn't what she meant, she was just very curious about what Dong Qingcheng meant by "Lu Chen's life experience".
But seeing that Yu Xiaoyu was still there, she could only swallow the question and decided to wait until there was no one else around before asking.
Yu Xiaoyu was also very perceptive. After Lu Chen came back, apart from saying hello to him, she just buried her head in cooking, trying to minimize her presence.
I just don’t know if it’s her illusion. Why does she feel that today’s food disappears so quickly
Yu Xiaoyu finally looked up in confusion, and saw that Lu Chen was also silent, but he picked up his chopsticks faster than anyone else, and he only ate one dish, which was the potatoes that still smelled burnt even after being rescued.
He didn't touch the dishes beside them at all, as if he hadn't eaten roasted potatoes for 800 years. Which of the meat and fresh vegetables is not better than burnt potatoes
Yu Xiaoyu: “?”... ... "
She was thinking that as a guest, she would give the good things to Lu Chen, the host who had worked hard for several days, but she didn't expect that he would only eat potatoes.
After being surprised for a moment, Yu Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
It seems that what Meng Yinyin said before was right. Although Lu Chen doesn't talk much and looks very cold, he is actually a very good person.
You see, isn't this just making sure the guests eat better even if it means suffering for themselves? They would rather eat that shit themselves and leave the good stuff for others.
Just because of his awareness, Yu Xiaoyu firmly supports him and Meng Yinyin to be together!
In the end, Yu Xiaoyu ate the other delicious dishes and became more and more satisfied with Lu Chen. Even after the meal, when Lu Chen went to clean up and wash the dishes, she couldn't help but pull Meng Yinyin aside and said a few good words for him based on Lu Chen's behavior at the table just now.
Meng Yinyin's ears were almost covered with calluses from her nagging.
"Okay, okay, I got it!"
It's just a meal, why does it feel like I've taken a drug
Meng Yinyin couldn't help but mutter a few words in her heart. If Yu Xiaoyu knew Lu Chen's true face, would she still admire him so much
"By the way, Yinyin, are you going to tell Lu Chen about Song Yue's matter?"
Just as Meng Yinyin was silently complaining, Yu Xiaoyu spoke hesitantly.
She was stunned for a moment, then her face showed some distress.
Of course she knew what Yu Xiaoyu was talking about, but how could she start? Could she just run to Lu Chen and say that Song Yue came to see her when he was away, and it seemed that he was going to bully her
Of course, the most important thing is that he didn't succeed that time either, and she was rescued by Dou Zhengrong.
Thinking of Dou Zhengrong, Meng Yinyin couldn't help but think of the plot of the book.
This time she didn't hesitate and shook her head decisively.
I won’t tell you, even if you kill me!
What she is most worried about now is that Lu Chen, Dou Zhengrong and Lin Xiuzhi will have too much contact, and then everything will go according to the original plot. She would rather keep this matter to herself!
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Yu Xiaoyu did not say anything. After all, after Song Yue stopped Meng Yinyin in the vegetable field that day, there was no movement in the following few days. He was probably scared and did not dare to do anything again. In this case, it should be okay not to tell Lu Chen.
Then she saw that it was getting late, so she went to Meng Yinyin's room to pack her things, said goodbye and returned to the educated youth point.
Now that the real "flower protector" is back, she must leave.
After sending Yu Xiaoyu away, although Meng Yinyin always felt a little uneasy if she didn't tell Lu Chen about the matter between Song Yue and Dou Zhengrong, she still firmly chose not to tell Lu Chen about it after thinking about the terrible plot.
What she didn't expect was that even though she didn't say anything about it, Lu Chen still found out in the end.
... ...
The day after Lu Chen returned home, he started working as usual in the brigade. The vacancies for tractor drivers have not been announced yet. The brigade leader said that he would tell him as soon as the results came out, so they had to wait a little longer.
So Lu Chen could only endure the tension and start working.
However, on his first day at work, he was stopped by Dou Zhengrong.
