The news that Lu Chen had successfully captured the commune's tractor driver quickly spread throughout the commune, not to mention their brigade.
Some people in the team certainly felt unconvinced. After all, although Lu Chen's life was good now, in their impression, he was still that unpopular young man. As a result, now he not only lived in a big house, but also had a delicate educated youth girlfriend, and his brother-in-law was still in the army. However, Lu Chen's behavior was still similar to before, so no one felt that he had changed much.
It was only after the news of him becoming a tractor driver came out that everyone suddenly realized that Lu Chen's current identity and situation were really different from the past.
Of course, some people felt sad in their hearts, but there were also many people who felt happy and proud of the news.
After all, there are several brigades under their commune, but people from other brigades didn't get this lucrative job, but people from their brigades got the job. How could they not be happy
If the tractor driver is from their team, then it will be more convenient for them to do anything in the future.
This is what the legend says: It is easy to become an official if you have someone in the court!
Wherever they go in the future, maybe they can get a free tractor ride.
When they thought of this, everyone started thinking about building a good relationship with Lu Chen!
The next day after Lu Chen received the notice from the team leader, he went to the commune with the team leader to handle related matters.
The tractor hasn't arrived yet, but Lu Chen has to fill out the relevant procedures and information first. He went out, and other people didn't know about it. So when Meng Yinyin was at home, she heard a sudden knock on the door. She was startled, worried that Lu Chen had forgotten something.
As a result, just as she walked into the yard, she heard the voice of an unfamiliar auntie shouting into the yard.
"Is Lu Chen at home?"
Are you here to find Lu Chen
Since they were not looking for her, Meng Yinyin was too lazy to go out. She just stood in the yard and replied to the people outside.
'He's out!'
Meng Yinyin thought that the person outside came to see Lu Chen because he had something to tell him, but she had already explained clearly that Lu Chen was not at home, so she guessed that the person outside would leave.
What she didn't expect was that the aunt outside didn't seem disappointed when she heard that Lu Chen was not at home. Instead, she continued to shout inside with a smile.
"Well, since Lu Chen is not at home, it's the same if I talk to you, Meng Zhiqing."
Tell her
Meng Yinyin opened her eyes slightly, her eyes full of confusion.
"Meng Zhiqing, please open the door quickly. I just need to talk to you about something and I have to go to work!"
Hearing the anxious tone of the person outside, and that it was an old lady, Meng Yinyin hesitated for a while, but finally walked forward and opened the door.
When she opened it, she found that the person standing outside was an auntie whom she had some impression of.
Before, when she was working with everyone in the educated youth team, she had seen this aunt several times during the morning meetings. Almost every time she saw this aunt, she could see her chattering and gossiping with the people around her. She even heard this aunt saying bad things about Lu Chen to others once.
So, now that she came to find Lu Chen with a smiling face, Meng Yinyin found it strange no matter how she looked at it.
However, the auntie didn't seem to notice the hesitation in Meng Yinyin's eyes at all, and still had a bright smile on her face. She didn't even know if it was Meng Yinyin's illusion, but she saw a bit of flattery in the smile of the auntie in front of her.
To please
Didn't she hate Lu Chen very much before? Why did she come to his house and behave like this now? It was really weird.
After hesitating for a moment, Meng Yinyin finally asked.
"Um, auntie, what do you want to tell me?"
"Oh, it's not a big deal!"
As the aunt spoke, she handed a basket in her hand to Meng Yinyin.
"These are vegetables that we grow ourselves. There are too many to eat, so I hurried over to send some to you and Lu Chen!"
"Meng Zhiqing, don't think too much. I brought the food here not for any other reason. We just can't finish it ourselves, so I brought it to you. I really don't have any other intentions!"
Meng Yinyin: “… ”
But you don't look like you have no other intentions now.
She looked at the aunt hesitantly and handed the basket back to her decisively.
"Aunt, we have enough food at home, so you should take these dishes back yourself. We don't need them."
Are you kidding? How could she dare to accept such dishes with unknown purpose, especially when this auntie clearly had ulterior motives? If she accepted them, who knows what kind of trouble she would get into!
When the aunt saw that she refused to accept it, she was naturally unhappy.
After all, Lu Chen is now the tractor driver of the commune, and he will definitely be able to do a lot of things in the future. They must maintain a good relationship with Lu Chen now. Even though this is just a small basket of vegetables, it is a chance for Lu Chen to feel their good intentions!
Seeing that Meng Yinyin didn't want it, the aunt was about to say something, but unfortunately Meng Yinyin was very vigilant. Although she didn't know her intention, she quickly found an excuse that there was something urgent in the house, and then closed the gate, successfully locking out the aunt who was still trying to persuade her to accept the things.
After closing the door, Meng Yinyin frowned and shook her head while walking towards the room.
This person is so strange that she always feels like something bad is going to happen to him.
It was not known whether Meng Yinyin's intuition was too accurate or what, but not long after she returned to the room, she heard the sound of the yard door being knocked again, and just like before, the person outside was calling Lu Chen's name.
Why is someone looking for Lu Chen again
Although she was confused, Meng Yinyin finally walked out. Just as she was about to continue explaining as before why Lu Chen was not at home, she saw another unfamiliar figure, but he was holding the same thing in his hand.
Meng Yinyin: “???”
Could this person also be here to deliver food to them
As if to verify Meng Yinyin's guess, the next second, the man briefly explained his purpose and handed the dish in his hand to Meng Yinyin.
Meng Yinyin: "... Thank you, we have enough food at home."
Then, without waiting for the man to say anything, he quickly closed the door.
What the hell is going on? Why would someone come to deliver food to them one day
Meng Yinyin walked in doubtfully, but after taking two steps, she suddenly realized something, which was -
Could it be that these people are here to seek help from Lu Chentong
After all, Lu Chen had just gotten the position of tractor driver, and right after that, people who had looked down on him before came to his house and gave him gifts. No matter how you look at it, it seemed like they were doing this to please him!
You wouldn't have guessed it, but everyone is pretty well versed in the ways of the country folk.
Meng Yinyin sighed in her heart, but after what happened to her parents before, she was more cautious and defensive about stuffing things into someone's pocket. Not to mention that Lu Chen was not at home, even if Lu Chen was at home, she would never let him accept these things!
It's better to be safe than sorry. If these things get revealed in the future, it will be the end!
However, although Meng Yinyin turned away the two people who came to her house, others still did not give up the idea of getting along well with Lu Chen. It was just that everyone had to go to work in the next period of time, so the door to Lu Chen's house was temporarily quiet.
Meng Yinyin thought about talking to Lu Chen about this when he came back at noon. After all, he might not have experienced these things. In order to prevent him from making mistakes in the future, she felt that she had to remind him first.
After waiting for a long time until noon, Meng Yinyin did not wait for Lu Chen to come back, but waited for Dou Zhengrong.
The moment she opened the gate and saw Dou Zhengrong, Meng Yinyin was stunned for a moment. She never expected that Dou Zhengrong would take the initiative to come to them, especially since she had just gone to their house and said those words yesterday. She thought that from then on, Dou Zhengrong and Lin Xiuzhi would take the initiative to stay away from them, but she didn't expect him to come to their house today.
Meng Yinyin: "..."
So, what she did yesterday, didn't it have any effect at all
The change in Meng Yinyin's expression was very obvious, but unfortunately, Dou Zhengrong had no extra thoughts to explore Meng Yinyin's mood at this moment. He looked anxious, as if he had something urgent to do, and spoke directly to Meng Yinyin.
"Meng Zhiqing, I may have to trouble you and Lu Chen with something. Although I know my request is a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask you to help me."
"Ah?" Meng Yinyin was even more confused by his request.
"I have a letter in my hand. It's a very important letter. Can I ask Brother Lu Chen to help me mail it to the town?"
As he spoke, Dou Zhengrong took out the letter in his hand.
The envelope was very thin, but sealed tightly. Meng Yinyin had no idea what was written inside, but the only thing she was sure of was that this letter should be very important to Dou Zhengrong.
