These two people have been quiet for a long time since Lu Chen took back the property and forced them to live in the old house.
After all, there is no way to keep quiet. Lu Dashan embezzled the pension that his own brother had exchanged for his life, and treated his brother's son so badly. Naturally, when the whole Dadui knew about it, they only despised him.
Besides, his and Jiang Guihua's work points are now registered under Lu Chen's name. After deducting the basic food and drink expenses, all their money has to be used to pay off Lu Chen.
In this case, with Lu Chen as their creditor, they would be stupid to deliberately go find Lu Chen. Once they go to find him, they will face the risk of being asked by Lu Chen to pay back the money. They are not that stupid.
So during this period of time, the couple had been hiding from Lu Chen like a mouse seeing a cat.
But even though they didn't get close to Lu Chen, the two of them lived not far from each other, so they knew everything about Lu Chen's movements. For example, when Lu Chen was called to the county town to learn about tractors, they knew everything about it!
After the couple knew that Lu Chen went to the county to learn how to operate a tractor, they were naturally envious and jealous, but thinking about their age, plus the fact that they had to go to study, they both thought that they probably wouldn't be able to learn that thing, so they quickly adjusted their mindsets and stopped being jealous.
However, they were the only one who didn't know that Lu Chen was sent by the captain to entertain the people from the capital. After learning the news, their jealousy reached an unprecedented level!
How difficult is it to pick someone up? All you need is hands. They can do it too!
Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua felt extremely upset and unwilling to accept the fact that they had missed such a good opportunity.
If they try to curry favor with the nobleman from the capital, then they will see how Lu Chen dares to bully them!
Originally they had given up struggling because of the current situation, but they didn't expect that there would be a ray of hope after a dark cloud, and such a big shot came. As long as the big shots could help them, what else could Lu Chen and the other people in the team say, and what could they dare to say!
Maybe even their sons can get help from important people and soar to great heights!
When they thought of this, the couple's hearts suddenly began to move. They looked at each other and made a decision in their hearts at that moment. They wanted to curry favor with the big shot from the capital!
... ...
Lu Chen and his companions naturally didn't know about Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua's little plan. After he brought the captain back to his home, he planned to leave.
But just as he was about to leave, Old Lady Dong behind him immediately stopped him.
"Comrade Xiao Lu, don't leave yet!"
Mrs. Dong suddenly spoke, and Lu Chen had to stop temporarily. He turned around with a puzzled look on his face.
After Mrs. Dong called him to stop, her tone was a little hesitant. After all, she called Lu Chen just now because she subconsciously didn't want him to leave.
Seeing that she was speechless, it was Mr. Dong who spoke first.
"Ahem, it's like this. We are old and a little tired after walking all the way. We may need to go to your house to rest for a while. Could you take us there first?"
In fact, they wanted to continue chatting with the captain's wife. Just now, while Lu Chen was away, the two of them had already indirectly learned a lot of information about Lu Chen from her.
Although most of this information was told to them by Dong Qingcheng before, hearing it again from the captain's wife gave them a different feeling.
Perhaps it was because women were more meticulous by nature, the captain's wife spoke much more carefully than Dong Qingcheng, and it also made Mr. and Mrs. Dong feel more sympathy for Lu Chen.
This is also the reason why Mrs. Dong didn't want Lu Chen to leave her sight for even a second at this moment.
This child had such a miserable life in the past, she really wanted to hug him.
Unfortunately, their identities are still unclear, so she can only suppress her inner feelings temporarily.
Lu Chen heard this, but did not agree immediately. Instead, he turned around and looked at the captain.
He called the captain back, but the two old men left before they could even say a few words. Is this normal
The captain didn't care. After all, the two old people were really old and their physical fitness couldn't keep up. It would be better for them to go back and rest now.
As for the conversation between them, now that they have joined their team, they can chat anytime and anywhere.
So just like that, the old couple of the Dong family followed Lu Chen home first.
As for the captain, he originally wanted to send them over together, but then he heard from Mr. Dong that his daughter and son-in-law would be here soon, and he was worried that they wouldn't be able to find anyone, so he had to trouble the captain to bring them over later.
When the captain heard this, he naturally agreed.
In the end, only Lu Chen and the other two left together.
Although it was not early at this moment, there was still some time before lunchtime, so there were not many people on the road.
As the Lu family approached, both Mr. Dong and Mrs. Dong frowned unconsciously.
Until they arrived at the gate of the small red brick courtyard, their eyes only hurriedly swept across this large mansion that could almost be called unique in the countryside, and then they subconsciously looked at the old courtyard next door.
Lu Chen happened to notice this scene and felt something strange in his heart.
Because when most people see these two courtyards placed together, they will almost without exception choose to focus their attention on this magnificent big house. As for the old courtyard next to it that is full of age at first glance, not many people care about it.
However, the old couple of the Dong family rarely looked at the old house, which was a bit strange.
However, Lu Chen thought that maybe they were curious about this old house because it was their first time in the countryside, so he didn't think much about it.
The reason why Mr. Dong and Mrs. Dong were so curious about the old courtyard next door was naturally because they had just learned from the captain's wife that Lu Chen had lived in that old house for more than 20 years, and all the members of the Lu family had lived there before.
If Lu Chen's mother is really their daughter, then that means the old house is where she once lived.
Because of this relationship, the old couple was so curious about the old house next door.
Although they really wanted to go in and take a good look at the house, they knew very well that now was not the best time. They even learned from the captain's wife that the old house seemed to be occupied by Lu Chen's black-hearted uncle Lu Dashan and his family.
Thinking of what Lu Dashan had done to Lu Chen's family, the old couple's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Such people are so vicious that sooner or later someone will take care of them!
While they were thinking about this, Lu Chen had already raised his hand and knocked on the door of his house, and shouted inside: "Yin Yin."
Meng Yinyin heard Lu Chen's voice coming from outside, and she quickly exclaimed, then ran over to open the door.
Just after opening the door, he wanted to ask Lu Chen why he took so long to go to town today, but before he could open his mouth, he saw two unfamiliar elderly people standing next to Lu Chen.
She blinked in confusion, then looked at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen only said: "They came from the capital."
With just this one explanation, Meng Yinyin understood. It turned out that this was the person the captain wanted to arrange to live in.
Before the Dong family arrived, Meng Yinyin was actually quite resistant and disliked their coming, but she didn't know why, perhaps it was because the two old people in front of her looked very kind, or perhaps she really didn't want to argue with two good people, so her resistance was much less at this moment.
Realizing that the sun was strong outside, she quickly stepped aside to let Lu Chen and the others in, then asked him quietly, "What are their names?"
Her voice was very low, but it was still heard by the old couple of the Dong family next to her. Mrs. Dong smiled and said to her, "Girl, if you don't mind, just call us Grandpa Dong and Grandma Liu."
In fact, she wanted to ask Meng Yinyin to just call them grandpa and grandma and drop the surname in front, but she knew it was too early, so she had to give up.
However, although the address was still a little unfamiliar, Mrs. Dong really liked Meng Yinyin. She fell in love with this incredibly beautiful girl almost at first sight.
It must be said that Lu Chen is tall and handsome, while Meng Yinyin is petite and pretty. These two are simply a perfect match!
I wonder how beautiful the children born to such two people will be!
Meng Yinyin immediately felt the kindness that Old Lady Dong showed her, and she felt even more ashamed of her previous pettiness.
I think I am really too petty. I have prejudice against people before they even come. This is not good.
Because of this rare feeling of guilt, Meng Yinyin was unprecedentedly enthusiastic towards the old couple of the Dong family whom she met for the first time. Not only did she invite them in, she also sent Lu Chen to get the tea from home.
The tea at home is naturally not as good as the fine products in the city, but it is also a rare thing in the countryside. This was picked by Lu Chen by accident when he went up the mountain before.
Meng Yinyin also obediently went to the kitchen to get them bowls and water. The two young people were busy with each other, which made the two old people sitting in the main room more and more satisfied.
After Lu Chen got the tea, he quickly went to the kitchen to find Meng Yinyin. While the two old guests were not around, Meng Yinyin quickly inquired about their situation.
It's just a pity that Lu Chen didn't know much information about them. Meng Yinyin knew that he was not a curious person, so she could only curl her lips and let it go.
Soon, the two of them walked to the main room with tea and entertained the two elderly people. Unfortunately, one of them didn't like to talk, and the other was totally unfamiliar with them, so there was nothing to say. They could only listen to the two elderly people chatting with them about family matters with a smile.
They both asked some moderate questions, all concerned with whether they were eating well and how their lives were.
It's like meeting an elder whom I haven't seen for a long time.
This scene made Meng Yinyin feel puzzled, but she still answered obediently. However, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, are the people in the capital so enthusiastic? They are so polite when they meet for the first time.
Just after they chatted for a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Lu Chen, open the door."
It was the captain's voice.
Lu Chen guessed that it was probably the other two people from the Dong family who had arrived, so he got up and went to open the door.
When they opened the door, they saw that it was indeed Dong Wen Qian and her husband Deng Tao who had arrived. The team had also finished work, and many members passing by looked at them curiously.
