Chapter 22

On the tenth day of planting, Lu Che estimated that he could complete the task in the remaining five days, so he asked Jiang Yao and Lu Qing to go down to the ground for two hours a day and go through the scene to sign the attendance.

Jiang Yao was not willing to leave Lu Che to fight alone, but Lu Qing came to persuade her: "The captain said that as long as the household completes the task of transplanting rice, all the laborers of this household can record ten jobs in half a month. cm. Since Lu Che can do it well, let's not go, can't we stay at home and do other work? Besides, the tomato and cucumber seedlings in the vegetable garden are starting to climb the vine, so we have to take good care of it."

Jiang Yao has been so tired every day recently that she almost forgot her tomatoes and cucumbers. Also, the county fair is coming again, and while the weather is still hot, she sells jelly twice more.

After weighing it, she still obeyed Lu Che's arrangement.

Busy in the rice fields until the sun came out, Jiang Yao and Lu Qing went back to Lu's house.

After Jiang Yao entered the door, she first went to the vegetable garden. At first glance, the two rows of tripods that were originally light yellow had been added with a hint of green.

She walked over excitedly and stood up after watching for a long time. Just when she was about to water, she was stopped by Lu Qing, "I'll water it in the afternoon, Lu Che has already watered it in the morning."

"Oh." Jiang Yao responded, a feeling of distress suddenly appeared in her heart.

Lu Che was very tired from planting rice, and he took over the heavy work at home. She was really afraid that he couldn't stand it.

Lu Qing could see her thoughts, patted her hand, and comforted: "he is working hard now, but I know he is willing. Yaoyao, I really want to say thank you, because of you, my brother I am very happy now.”

Before she was born, the Lu family had been looked down upon, and it was even worse after Lu Che was born. Later, her father committed the crime of hooliganism, which made the originally heavy family even more depressed, and her mother could not resist such pressure and died in depression.

Others say that Lu Che is thorny and gloomy, but can't he be born in such a family? Otherwise, they would have problems even survival.

But Lu Qing has always known that Lu Che's nature is good, a man who has been working hard for his family, can he be good?

"Sister Qing, don't say that." Jiang Yao smiled slightly, "I am also very happy with him."

Jiang Yao didn't tell Lu Che what she said from the bottom of her heart, but she really felt that way. Although life is hard now, but the two of them work together every day, she feels that life is very promising.

"That's good." Lu Qing nodded, "As long as you have always been like this, then I will leave with confidence in the future."

"You want to leave?" Jiang Yao asked in surprise.

Lu Qing gave an "um" and said, "It's not a long-term solution for me and Yangyang's father to be separated, and the two children also need a father. There was no way before, his father will understand me and accommodate me, and it will be stable when it stabilizes. , I will go with the army."

Jiang Yao thought about it and asked, "Then when are you going to join the army?"

"It hasn't been decided yet, it's best before the two children go to school." Lu Qing gave Jiang Yao a meaningful look and said, "If you marry Lu Che, then I will be completely at ease and be able to bring the children to find their father. went."

"..." Jiang Yao clearly felt that she was being urged to marry.

She actually wanted to tell Lu Qing that she and Lu Che had only been with Lu Che for less than two months, but she swallowed the words again. These days, it is a normal process for a blind date to know each other for a month and get married. It is basically non-existent to talk about two or three years before getting married in later generations.

"Okay, tomorrow is the market day. Lu Che is not free, so I will go to the county town with you to set up a stall and see what preparations are to be done." Knowing that the young girl was thin-skinned, Lu Qing changed the topic in a timely manner.

Jiang Yao: "Let's sort out the ingredients to be used first."

This time, Jiang Yao didn't ask Lu Che to help him when he set up the stall, but he still went to bed after grinding the rice milk at night.

When it was more than three in the morning, he also got up and accompanied them to the county seat. After setting up the stalls, he returned to Qingyuan Village to work.

The items to be sold at the fair this time are similar to the last time, but the stalls were sold out after 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Because it is a busy farming season, there are not many farmers who come to the market today, so their stalls sell things quickly.

Lu Qing knew how to drive an ox cart, so they didn't need Lu Che to pick them up. The two of them put things on the ox cart and went back.

It was only 3:30 in the afternoon when returned to Lu's house. Lu Qing wanted Jiang Yao to rest, but Jiang Yao wanted to cook a hearty dinner for Lu Che. Even if he was tired, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Since the young couple can love and take care of each other, Lu Qing is optimistic and let her go.

Jiang Yao simply took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and went to work in the kitchen.

She went to the supply and marketing cooperative this morning to buy half a catty of pork belly, a large piece of pork liver, and two large bones.

Lu Che likes to eat taro pork, so she made pork belly into taro pork. As for the pork liver, she cut it into thin slices, and when the white porridge was boiled, she made raw rolling pork liver porridge.

The big bones are stewed together with the radish into a pot of radish bone soup.

In addition, she also made a leek omelette and fried cabbage heart.

When Zhou Yang and Zhou Xin saw the food on the dining table, they suddenly felt a sense of Chinese New Year.

The old lady Lu was both happy and embarrassed, and said to Jiang Yao, "Yaoyao, why did you cost me again today?"

"Grandma Lu, please don't say that. This time I planted rice seedlings. I got your light, otherwise I don't know what to do?" Jiang Yao said "you" but didn't say "Lu Che" because of a guilty conscience. After all, the old lady still doesn't know about her relationship with Lu Che.

"What are you doing so politely?" Mrs. Lu said indifferently: "We have all the strength, this is nothing." After speaking, she said to Lu Che again: "Cheche, Yaoyao is polite, You are really welcome, please eat such a good meal, and quickly say thank you to others."

The Lu family's dining table is a square table. Jiang Yao and Lu Che are sitting on opposite sides. Although they are not next to each other, they are only separated by a corner.

Lu Che turned his head to look at Jiang Yao and said solemnly, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome." Jiang Yao also answered in good order.

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand under the table was suddenly held.

The warm palm covered with calluses gently groped her tender little hand, Jiang Yao knew who it was without looking.

The whole family was sitting together, but they were blatantly secreting Chencang under the table. Jiang Yao was so nervous that she didn't dare to use force when she wanted to let go of his hand, for fear of being seen, so she could only quietly warn him with her eyes.

He turned a blind eye, picked up the chopsticks, and devoured it.

"Yaoyao, why don't you eat it?" Madam Lu asked when Jiang Yao didn't move her chopsticks.

Jiang Yao thought that your grandson held my right hand, how can I hold chopsticks.

"...Eat, eat now." Jiang Yao snorted and struggled twice before Lu Che let go.

After a few days, the Qingyuan production team finally completed the planting and transplanting work successfully, and Lu Dazhou gave all the members a day off.

After being tired for so many days, she could finally rest. Of course, Jiang Yao wanted Lu Che to go to bed earlier, but someone stayed in her room until ten o'clock under the guise of not having to work tomorrow. She didn't know how to kiss her during this time. how many times.

The next day, Jiang Yao went back to sleep after the biological clock woke her up.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but her door was slammed. She thought it was Lu Che, but when she opened the door, she saw Zhou Xin standing outside.

"Xinxin, is something wrong?" Jiang Yao asked.

Zhou Xin looked up at her and said, "Sister Yaoyao, my great grandmother asked you to go to the main room."

After speaking, Zhou Xin ran away.

Jiang Yao didn't know why, but she hurriedly changed her clothes and washed, and then walked towards the front yard.

When she walked to the main room, she saw Mrs. Lu sitting in the middle, and Lu Che was also sitting on the side.

When the old lady saw her coming, she waved to her and said, "Yaoyao, sit down."

"Okay." Jiang Yao took a seat and secretly exchanged glances with Lu Che, but he obviously didn't know what was going on.

"Cough cough..." Mrs. Lu cleared her throat, Jiang Yao and Lu Che stopped eye contact immediately, both looked at the old lady, and then heard her ask, "Did you two forget to follow me? Say?"

"..." Did the old lady find out about their relationship? This was Jiang Yao's first reaction, but not many people knew about it. The two of them didn't say it, and Lu Qing didn't say it. Logically, she wouldn't know.

Jiang Yao glanced at Lu Che, and Lu Che said to the old lady, "Grandma, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"You don't understand?" The old lady snorted coldly, "You and Yaoyao didn't tell me about your relationship with you. Did you take me seriously?"

"..." Sure enough! ! !

Seeing the old lady's unhappy face, Jiang Yao immediately said, "Grandma Lu, even if you don't agree with me and Lu Che, don't be angry, your health is important."

"Who said I'm unhappy? I'm very happy." The old lady changed her face in a second and laughed cheerfully, "This kid is really capable, he can catch up with such a good girl as Yaoyao. Yaoyao Yao, don't get me wrong, grandma likes you, in fact, I wanted you to be my granddaughter-in-law for a long time, but my family background is not good, I'm afraid of climbing you."

Lu Che saw that his aunt was angry and happy at the same time, making everyone dizzy, and said angrily: "Damn, if this is the case, why are you so angry?"

"Of course you're angry that you didn't tell me." The old lady pouted and said, "I'm half-in-the-earth, it's rare to have such a big happy event, but you're hiding it from me, it's really annoying. If it weren't for the recent The whole production team is talking about who you are dealing with, and Aunt Huang next door came to ask me, I may have to wait until you get married to find out."

"The whole production team is talking about who we are dealing with?" Now it was Lu Che and Jiang Yao's turn to be surprised.

"Yes, what Aunt Huang said." The old lady said.

Jiang Yao: "But...but we don't have any overstepping behavior outside? How did everyone...know?" She told Zhao Pengfei about this, but he was not the type to talk casually.

"The eyes of those women in the village are poisonous." The old lady said with a smile: "Aunt Huang said that Lu Che worked so hard for Jiang Yao, and no man in the production team could do this to his daughter-in-law, and it would not matter if he was not a target. People believe. The eyes of the masses are sharp, and this sentence is indeed true."

"..."

The old lady chatted with them for a while, then left Lu Che and let Jiang Yao have breakfast.

When Jiang Yao left the hall, the old lady called Lu Che into her room, then dug out a tin can from under the bed and handed it to him, "Open it."

"What's this?" Lu Che patted off the dust on the tin can. When he opened the tin can, he saw a great unity, and a few pieces of a few cents.

The old lady said: "There are about 1,200 yuan here. It was sent to me by your sister-in-law, as well as the money you usually earn. I have put it here. Now that you are in a relationship, you have to be responsible to other girls. Milk is not a reminder. You get married, but getting married is the greatest sincerity to Yaoyao."

Lu Che has been working hard to earn money these years. He knows how much money he might earn. Anyway, he is far from 1,200 yuan. Most of the money was sent back by Lu Yuan.

"Mom, this money is given to you by my aunt, I can't take it." Lu Che was about to push it back, but the old lady hit her calf with a cane.

"Your sister-in-law gave me this money, and I can spend it how I like." The old lady said emotionally, "Che Che, I know you have high spirits and want to marry a wife based on your ability, but now look at yourself. How much money can you make in a month? Yaoyao doesn't dislike your background, but you can't let people wait and live up to them."

"Yaoyao, an educated youth in a provincial capital, picked you as a scumbag, and there must be many people criticizing her behind her back, so you must not make her feel wronged for this dowry, do you understand? If you really can't live with that in your heart Guan, just lent you this money as milk, and when you earn money in the future, you can return it to me, right?"

Speaking of this, Lu Che's expression was a little loose, and the old lady added another dose of strong medicine and said, "Even if Yaoyao can wait for you, I'm afraid I can't wait, I can see the clear child. , and hope to see your children."

The last sentence finally touched Lu Che.

He covered the tin can, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old lady, and solemnly assured: "Milk, I will definitely pay you back."

"Can I still trust you?" The old lady pulled him up and said, "If you promise me a big fat great-grandson, that's about the same."

"Milk, it definitely will." Lu Che said in a loud and confident voice.

The old lady smiled happily, shook her hand at him, and said, "Okay, you can go out. Let's see if Yaoyao has finished her breakfast, and let her come to me after eating."

"Milk, what are you...what do you want?" Lu Che said defensively.

"Stinky boy." The old lady went down again and said, "Seeing that you are in a hurry, can I eat Yaoyao?"

Lu Che said of course: "That's my daughter-in-law, can I not be in a hurry?"

"Okay, go to me quickly." The old lady pushed him out, "Don't call your daughter-in-law, she's not your daughter-in-law."

When Jiang Yao heard that the old lady was looking for her, she was quite nervous, but she had to go.

She thought that the old lady would put her heart to heart and let her treat Lu Che well, but who knew that she would just put on a gold bracelet and come out.

"This bracelet was originally a pair. When Qingqing got married, I gave her one, and the other one will be handed over to you." The old lady put it into Jiang Yao's hand and said, "This thing is very good now. You can't wear it if you are sensitive, so you should keep it as a family heirloom and pass it on to you and Cheche's descendants in the future.

Jiang Yao was a little flattered when she disagreed, but she wanted to dodge, but she heard the old lady say, "I know we're up to you. If you really don't despise him, just accept it."

"..." So, if she doesn't accept it, it means that she dislikes Big Brother Lu?

Jiang Yao did not accept it, nor did he accept it, and finally accepted it.

When she returned to the room, when Lu Che came to look for her, she threw the hot potato to him, "I can't accept your family's heirloom."

"Of course I can." Lu Che took out the bracelet, put it on her hand, admired it for a while, and said, "Sooner or later, this thing will be handed over to you for safekeeping, and sooner or later you will get a sample. If you accept it now, let me also Don't worry, milk."

"Don't worry? What do I have to worry about?" Jiang Yao asked.

Lu Che hugged her and said, "My grandma thinks you are too good. She is uneasy. She is afraid that you will run away and gives you the bracelet. She will feel more at ease."

"...What am I running? Am I that kind of person?" Jiang Yao muttered unconvinced.

"I know you're not that kind of person, but don't talk about my milk, I haven't married you in a day, and my heart has been hanging." Lu Che said, hugging the person even tighter.

Knowing that he was insecure, Jiang Yao hugged him back with more strength, and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are wholehearted with me, what I have decided by Jiang Yao will not be easily changed."

"Well." Lu Che rubbed against her neck and said, "Yaoyao, I know you're still young, but I'm not young anymore. If this year passes, we'll get married if we still think of each other, okay? ?"

"I promise, after marriage, I will not let you be wronged, I will let you live a good life, I will take care of you for the rest of your life, and love you for the rest of your life."

His oath was simple and unpretentious, which made Jiang Yao very at ease.

After dating for half a year and getting married, although Jiang Yao found that she did not reject it, she nodded and replied softly, "Okay."

A few days later, the story of Jiang Yao's relationship with Lu Che spread widely throughout the Qingyuan production team.

In fact, since Jiang Yao moved into the Lu family, guessed that they were secretive to Chen Cang, but at that time they were talking secretly in private.

Now that it has been confirmed, everyone will say it outright.

Of course, most of the remarks were not very friendly.

After all, with a background like Lu Che's background, being able to be an educated youth in a provincial capital, or the most beautiful one, is really enviable.

Jiang Yao took the initiative to apply to live in the Lu family, which was reminiscent of being elegant and criticized a lot.

Jiang Yao didn't care much about it, because she had expected the result, and she didn't care what others said.

As for Lu Che, no matter what others say about him, it's fine to say anything about Jiang Yao, otherwise he will beat up. However, he didn't have the chance to raise his fist either, because no matter what others did, he wouldn't dare to force it in front of him.

Not to mention that others are afraid of his fist, because he can repair tractors, his reputation in the production team has improved a lot recently.

In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. Zhu Xia organized all the educated youth to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at the educated youth on August 14th.

It used to be the 15th day of the eighth month, but after this rice transplanting, farmers have changed a lot about the educated youth, and they have invited the educated youth to celebrate the festival with them at home.

Since it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, of course there must be moon cakes for the festival.

The supply and marketing cooperative's moon cakes not only required very few tickets, but they couldn't buy them. Zhu Xia suggested that they pay for the ingredients and make them themselves. But she wouldn't do it, so she gave this task to Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao is not very good at making traditional moon cakes, and she does not have an oven. She weighed it and decided to make snow skin moon cakes.

On August 13th, Lu Che went to the county to deliver firewood, and Jiang Yao asked him to buy three catties of glutinous rice flour, one catty of red beans, and one catty of white sugar. She allocated 2/3 to the educated youth and left the rest to the old Lu family for the holidays.

She made an appointment with Zhu Xia, Zhou Qiong and Wen Qian to make moon cakes in the old granary this morning on the 14th.

Jiang Yao set off to the old granary after a busy day in the vegetable garden this morning. When she arrived, the other three had already arrived.

After finally catching her, of course everyone will not miss the gossip about her and Lu Che.

"Yaoyao, when did you and Lu Che get together?" Zhou Qiong asked curiously.

Jiang Yao felt that there was nothing to hide, thought for a moment, and said, "Two months ago."

"Isn't that the time when Lu Che was wronged?" Zhu Xia said jokingly, "No wonder I was so nervous at the time, running around because of him, tell me quickly, did you like others at that time?"

"Yes, I liked it at that time." Jiang Yao admitted generously.

Seeing her happy face, everyone could not help but feel a sour feeling unique to single dogs.

"Yaoyao, to be honest, it's irrational to be a person in the countryside, but I envy you very much. It's so happy to be protected by someone." Wen Qian said.

"If you are envious, just find one." Jiang Yao smiled.

Wen Qian shook her head, "I don't have the courage like you, I still want to go back to the city."

"I also want to go back to the city." Zhu Xia asked, "Yaoyao, are you not afraid that you won't be able to go back to the city in the future, and you will stay in the countryside for the rest of your life?"

"Don't be afraid." There will be a major turning point in the country in a few years. Jiang Yao has nothing to be afraid of, not to mention that Lu Che is a promising person and will not let her stay here forever. However, she couldn't say anything, she just said, "As long as Lu Che is nice to me, what about staying in the countryside?"

"Call..."

Jiang Yao's love made everyone get goosebumps.

The four of them worked together, and it was noon when the snowskin mooncakes were ready. Everyone went back to the old granary in the evening.

Before Jiang Yao returned to Lu's house, she saw a postman at the door from a distance. She walked over and asked, and it turned out that he was sending her a telegram.

She took it over and saw that it was a telegram sent to her by Jiang Zhen.

These days, unless it is urgent, people generally write letters, because the telegraph is too expensive. Jiang Zhen suddenly sent her a telegram, and she couldn't help but panic, worried about receiving news of his injury.

It happened that Lu Che came back from work at this time, and when he saw her standing at the door, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"My brother sent me a telegram."

Lu Che saw her face pale, his heart sank, and he said, "Hurry up and take a look."

"Okay." Jiang Yao quickly opened it, and when she saw it, she was stunned.

"What did your brother say?" Lu Che asked with concern.

Jiang Yao looked up at him and said, "My brother said that he wants to see me, and I think he is already on his way."

"..."

The author has something to say:

Lu Che: What do you think my uncle is here for?

Xiaomi: guess I'll beat someone up.

Lu Che: ...
