Chapter 29

Early the next morning, Jiang Yao and Lu Che set off for the provincial capital.

After a few trips, finally arrived at the provincial capital before noon. After having lunch at the state-run restaurant, they went to see Jiang Zhen's old leader.

The old leader is now a cadre of the provincial prefectural committee. They looked for the address provided by Jiang Zhen, but he happened to be out in a hurry, but arranged for the secretary to take them to buy a bicycle.

Money and tickets were prepared in advance, and a secretary led the way, and they successfully bought a bicycle.

They thanked the secretary again and again, and after sending him away, they returned to Jiang's house.

"Can you ride a bicycle?" Jiang Yao asked curiously, having never seen him ride a bicycle.

"Yes." Lu Che said, "I borrowed the captain's bicycle and rode it a few times before. It's not difficult, just control the balance."

Saying that, he stepped on the bicycle, turned his head and smiled and said to Jiang Yao, "Get in the car."

"Okay." Jiang Yao sat in the back seat and wrapped his hands around his waist naturally, "Let's go!"

It was past four o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to Jiang's house, and it would be dark soon. The two discussed it and decided to return to Qingyuan tomorrow.

It's just that there is nothing at home now. Jiang Yao wants to go out and buy some ingredients to cook tonight. Seeing that she has been tired all day, Lu Che said, "You can rest at home, I'll just go and buy it."

"Do you know the way?" Jiang Yao asked.

"I know." Lu Che said, "I saw a supply and marketing cooperative nearby when I picked up a relative last time. I went to buy some and came back."

"Okay, be careful on the way, and come back as soon as you buy it." Jiang Yao rambled.

Lu Che looked at her like a mother nagging her son, and joked: "I haven't started to be a mother yet, but I have to learn this long-winded energy first."

"Don't think I can't hear you scolding my old mother!" Jiang Yao pouted and raised her hand to hit him, but Lu Che slipped away like an eel.

Jiang Yao, whose fist failed, stuck her waist and shouted to Lu Che's back, "Hmph... I'll take care of you when you come back."

"Okay, I'll take care of you tonight." Lu Che suddenly stopped and turned his head to Jiang Yao meaningfully.

It took Jiang Yao a long time to realize what someone's word "clean up" meant. The temperature of her cheeks rose sharply. Just when she was about to call him "rogue", he had already gone out and closed the door.

"Hmph... You're just an old mother, no, you're an old father..." Jiang Yao was not convinced, and continued to mutter, but just halfway through, an idea suddenly flashed into her mind, what was their child? time will come.

They are now newly married Yan'er, and Lu Che's late marriage is at a young age, so the couple's life is very frequent. Moreover, they have not done anything since the first time, and of course, there are no family planning supplies available.

The two have not discussed having a child yet, but in the current situation, they both agree to have a child by default.

Being a mother at the age of nineteen, Jiang Yao thought it was crazy. She was still a child, how could she bring another child? But what she has now is the mind of a thirty-year-old. If she is really pregnant, she can accept it, and she is looking forward to the arrival of the child.

She did not have a complete and happy family in her last life. If she has children in this life, she will definitely give her one.

warm

My family, parents who love them, and will grow up with them slowly. As for whether she is rich or not, this task is left to Big Brother Lu, she doesn't care.

"Yaoyao, Yaoyao...Are you at home?" The door outside was banging loudly, and Jiang Yao's thoughts of wandering into outer space were pulled back, and she immediately went out to open the door.

She opened the door, and outside stood a capable woman, about forty years old, dressed in ordinary but well-groomed. She is Zhao Pengfei's mother and works as the director of the provincial sugar factory.

"Aunt Yang, long time no see, come in and sit." Jiang Yao said with a smile.

No matter how she and Zhao Pengfei are, Yang Li and Jiang's mother are good friends, and she has always been good to the original owner.

If it had been changed before, Jiang Yao would have hugged Yang Li and kissed her as soon as she saw Yang Li. Although she was polite now, the intimacy had long since disappeared. She sighed softly and said, "Okay, I'll go in. Sit down."

Yang Li walked in, looked at the brand-new bicycle parked aside, and asked, "Is this bike new?"

"Well, I just bought it today. Qingyuan has been out of stock, so my brother asked his old leader to help buy one here and ride it back tomorrow." Jiang Yao said.

"Ride back?" Yang Li's eyes widened. "From the provincial capital to Qingyuan, there are at least 100 kilometers. How do you ride? Not every road is easy to walk."

"It's okay, it's not me riding it, it's Lu Che riding it."

When Yang Li heard the word "Lu Che", her face suddenly sank, and she asked, "His name is Lu Che?"

"Yes." Jiang Yao nodded and said, "He just went out to buy vegetables. I'll come back and introduce him to you later."

"I don't want to know the mud legs who stole my daughter-in-law." The more Yang Li thought about it, the angrier she said, "If it wasn't for the day you got married, Uncle Zhao and I had gone on a business trip out of town, and we would never have let you marry. Yes. Jiang Zhen is also confused, why is it up to you? He is a brother, doesn't he feel bad for you to suffer in the countryside?"

Yang Li's words didn't sound good, but Jiang Yao could hear that she had no ill intentions, but more of a feeling of powerlessness towards a junior she liked and hated iron.

"Aunt Yang, don't worry, I'm doing fine in the country now, and I don't suffer at all. Lu Che is very kind to me, I don't need to do the heavy and tiring work. Not tired at all." Jiang Yao said.

Yang Li didn't feel relieved when she heard it, and said, "Actually, if you want to blame this bastard, Zhao Pengfei is a classmate. You know it well and you are a classmate. It was good, but when you got to the country, you were hooked by that random woman and harmed you. When I was sad, I hurriedly married myself." At this point, her eyes were red, and she pulled Jiang Yao and said, "It's the aunt who has no way to teach her son, and I'm ashamed of you and even more ashamed of your mother."

"Aunt Yang, please don't say that." Jiang Yao explained immediately: "Pengfei and I are just ordinary classmates, and he didn't feel sorry for me. I used to be close to him because you and my mother were friends. relationship, but there has never been anything other than friendship between us. I married Lu Che not because of Pengfei, but because I liked Lu Che and I wanted to marry him. "

Jiang Yao was sincere, but Yang Li didn't know how to refute it for a while, and said after a while, "Yaoyao, maybe you married yourself because you really liked it, but you can't eat it if you like it. Now that you are newly married, he loves you. He protects you and protects you, but it lasts forever, can he stick to it for a lifetime?"

"Also, in the countryside, you face the loess with your back to the sky every day, take a few centimeters a day, and you can't fill your stomach after working for a year. It's not that I despise your man, it's that he can't change his rural people The fact that you follow him will suffer for a lifetime."

As soon as the words fell, the door of Jiang's house was suddenly pushed open.

Jiang Yao looked up and saw that Lu Che was standing outside the door with something in both hands.

Yang Li also turned her head, even though this was the first time she saw Lu Che, it didn't prevent her from guessing who he was.

The more she talked just now, the more excited she was, the volume was a lot, he should have heard what she said.

The atmosphere was eerily quiet, and the expression on Lu Che's face was calm, but it was so calm that Jiang Yao's heart was beating. She said to Yang Li, "Aunt Yang, Uncle Zhao is about to go home from get off work, so hurry back and cook."

"...Okay." Yang Li is someone who has seen big scenes, but she was caught on the spot for speaking ill of people behind her back, and her face couldn't be hung. Since Jiang Yao let her down the steps, of course she would not stay.

When Yang Li was sent away, Jiang Yao returned to the house, but Lu Che was not seen. After looking around, found him in the kitchen.

He got a fish out of nowhere and was killing it.

"Are you angry?" Jiang Yao hugged him from behind, "Aunt Yang didn't do it on purpose, don't take it to heart."

"I'm not angry." Lu Che continued the movements in his hands, but his voice was low, and he lost his usual spirit, "If I'm really angry, it's not the auntie, I'm just angry with myself and let you suffer with me. ."

"No." Jiang Yao circled him with more strength, "I am with you, I feel very happy and happy, I really don't feel that I have to suffer. Not to mention, our family's food is better than others. Now, although I can’t eat meat every day, I can eat eggs almost every day.”

"But if you were in the city and married to a working family, you might be able to eat meat every day." Lu Che said weakly.

"Who said that I want to eat meat every day? If I eat meat every day, I will become fat. If I become fat, I can't wear beautiful clothes. I don't care about eating meat every day. I only care about you. Do you understand?"

Jiang Yao felt that she had only been wearing it for half a year, and she had already been assimilated by this era, and even the earthy words like "I don't care about eating meat every day, I only care about you" came out.

These words are a bit earthy, but they are very effective. When Lu Che listened to it, he felt that his little heart was severely scratched. How could his daughter-in-law, his woman, be so likable?

Lu Che turned around, because killing the fish made his hands dirty, he didn't dare to hug her, he just lowered his head and kissed her lips, staring at her affectionately, and solemnly said, "Daughter-in-law, I swear by Lu Che, It will definitely make you live a good life, and it will never make others laugh at you."

"I believe you." Jiang Yao curled her lips and said, "I really don't care what others think of me, otherwise I wouldn't have dated you, let alone marry you. I also hope you don't care about other people's opinions, Be yourself and I'm sure you'll get ahead."

"Okay." Lu Che nodded heavily.

After Lu Che finished killing the fish, the task of cooking the fish fell on Jiang Yao. There are not many seasonings at home, so she made the simplest steamed fish.

In addition, she also made scrambled eggs and fried vegetables. Once the rice is cooked, it's ready to eat.

This fish was an Anhui fish with many spines on its back, so Lu Che put all the meat on the belly into Jiang Yao's bowl.

Jiang Yao didn't refuse either, she knew that she had to be at ease with him, so that he could feel at ease. She ate it with relish, and didn't forget to ask him, "Where did you buy the fish? At this point, the supply and marketing cooperative has already run out of fish."

"I bought it in the alley near the supply and marketing agency." Lu Che lowered his voice slightly, "I found that the provincial capital is indeed much more prosperous than the county town, and there are many more things that can be bought through special channels, and everything is available. . I'm thinking that if there is a chance in the future, I can take some things from here and sell them back. Anyway, it's not far, and I can go back and forth on a bicycle in a day. "

"Yes." Jiang Yao said, "As long as you want to do it, I will support you, but you have to be careful."

"I know that." Lu Che looked at her and smiled suddenly.

Jiang Yao said inexplicably, "what are you laughing at?"

"Why are you so bold?" Lu Che said, "If the daughter-in-law of another family heard this, she would definitely tell the man not to do it."

"Of course, I'm a little timid, do I dare to marry Qingyuan No. 1?" Jiang Yao raised her chin and said quite arrogantly.

"Well, your courage is commendable." Lu Che nodded in appreciation, "I will "reward" you tonight."

"..." Since this person got married, there is only one trick left for her "rewards and punishments".

In the evening, the two were crammed into the single bed in Jiang Yao's boudoir, and Lu Che tossed Jiang Yao vigorously because they were the only ones at home.

Jiang Yao's forbidding cry made him unable to stop. He regretted saying, "I knew that when I got married, I used the house you lived in as a wedding room, away from my sister and my milk. You can do whatever you want at night."

Jiang Yao, who was so tired, just rolled his eyes at him and said, "Sister Qing will go to join the army in a while, and then there will be only grandma left at home. Let's move to the backyard. We don't know anything at night, can we do it? ?"

"It's the same reason." Lu Che hugged Jiang Yao lovingly and said, "Daughter-in-law, you should be thoughtful."

"Of course, but your verbal reward is enough. I don't need a reward for actual actions." Jiang Yao closed her eyes, "Go to sleep, I have to go back to Qingyuan tomorrow."

Lu Che: "..."

The next day, Jiang Yao didn't wake up until nine o'clock.

Lu Che got up early, his breakfast was ready, and the things he wanted to bring back to Qingyuan were tied to the bicycle.

This time, in addition to the sewing machine, also brought back a radio, and a large package of things that Lu Che bought from a special channel early in the morning.

These things filled the back seat and front of the bicycle, and there was no place for Jiang Yao to sit, so Lu Che suggested: "Daughter-in-law, if you stay here for another day, I will transport the things back to Qingyuan today, I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"No, I'm fine here, and it's boring to stay here." Jiang Yao said, "You take your things back by bicycle, and I'll go back by car."

"I don't worry about you driving alone in the car." Lu Che said with a frown.

"What's there to worry about? I'm not a child." Jiang Yao knew that he liked to worry, and said, "You take me to the bus station. After I get on the bus, you can leave. Is this the head office?"

"Okay." Lu Che thought for a while and said, "I don't know the other way, but which way the car goes to the county seat, I remember. When you get off the car, go to the state-run restaurant in the county seat to eat something, and then Wait for me there, I will arrive as soon as possible and go back to Qingyuan with you."

Jiang Yao: "Okay, but don't hurry. Anyway, no matter how fast you are, you can't go faster than the car. You slow down on the road. Safety is the most important thing. I'll be fine after a while, so I'll take a rest."

After reaching an agreement, Jiang Yao quickly finished breakfast, and then went out to Qingyuan.

Lu Che took Jiang Yao to the bus station, watched her get into the car, and when the car started to drive towards the county seat, he stepped on the pedals of the bicycle and followed.

These days, car exhaust is much more serious than later generations. In addition, there are almost no cement roads. They are all muddy roads with potholes. Lu Che followed behind, and the exhaust and dust took turns sucking. Jiang Yao looked back all the way, feeling funny and sad.

He pedaled forward hard, and although the glass at the rear of the car was covered with dust, he kept staring at the direction where she sat down, as if this was the destination he had been yearning for.

A bicycle can't be faster than a car. Jiang Yao watched his appearance as he struggled to get smaller and smaller, and finally became a point. After disappearing from her sight, she turned around, but her eyes couldn't help turning red.

This man always moved her inadvertently.

All the way back, the road conditions are not bad, the car stopped at the county bus terminal in less than three hours.

Jiang Yao estimated that it would take at least three hours for Lu Che to return here, so he went to the state-run restaurant for dinner first.

Now that the noon dining rush has passed, there are many vacancies in the state-run restaurant. Jiang Yao ordered a bowl of noodles, and after eating, bought a few more buns, worried that the buns would be cold when Lu Che arrived, and discussed with the hotel staff, "Auntie, can this buns be warmed in a steamer first, my man It is estimated that it will take more than two hours to return from the provincial capital."

Seeing that she was so attentive to men, the aunt didn't embarrass her, and said, "No problem, come to me to get it later, in fact, you can buy it later."

"I'm not worried that it will be sold out... He especially likes to eat the steamed buns from your restaurant." Jiang Yao said.

In fact, Lu Che didn't particularly like the buns from state-run restaurants. He said that the buns she made were better. But she was really worried that the steamed buns would be sold out when he arrived. Besides, everyone likes to listen to good words, and if they say a few words, they won't lose a piece of meat, so why not do it.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the aunt smiled and said more kindly: "There is no one in the restaurant in the afternoon, so you can find a seat and wait."

"Thank you auntie, you are such a nice person."

Jiang Yao found a seat and sat down. There was no mobile phone these days, and it was hard to wait for two or three hours. She could only watch people coming and going outside the hotel, better than staring at a wall.

Lu Che arrived at the state-run hotel just after four o'clock in the afternoon. Jiang Yao had been paying attention to the situation outside the door. As soon as he appeared, she saw him.

"You're finally here." Jiang Yao walked out quickly, raised her head, and smiled at him.

"Wait for a long time." Lu Che sized her up and asked, "Are you all safe?"

"Of course it's safe." After Jiang Yao finished speaking, she turned around and entered the restaurant, where she took five buns from the aunt.

"Hurry up and eat, we'll go home after we eat."

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat two?" Although Lu Che was hungry, he still cared about whether she was full.

"No, I've eaten noodles before, so hurry up and eat them."

"Okay." Lu Che then picked up the steamed bun and bit off half of it in one bite.

After digesting his breakfast early in the morning, he would be extremely hungry, and he would destroy the five buns.

After resting in place for fifteen minutes, the two walked back to Qingyuan together.

Jiang Yao felt distressed that Lu Che had been riding a bicycle for six or seven hours and wanted to push the bicycle by himself, but he wouldn't let him. "It's all about walking, let alone riding. If you don't believe me, Prove it to you."

"..." She didn't need his proof.

When they returned to Qingyuan, just in time for the employees to get off work, everyone saw Lu Che pushing a bicycle, a sewing machine tied to the back seat, and a tape recorder hanging in front, and their eyes were almost straight.

These days, just mentioning one of them makes people's eyes turn red with envy, not to mention three of them all at once.

"Lu Che, you are very developed. You didn't go to work for two days, so you came back with three big pieces." Someone ran over and asked.

Lu Che knew that he was here to gossip, and he had bad intentions. He said, "Uncle helped me get a bicycle ticket. There is no stock in the county town, so we went to the provincial capital to buy it. As for the sewing machine and tape recorder, it was Yao. Yao's mother's family, my uncle said that no one lives there, so let's move it here to use it."

In fact, he doesn't have to explain, but suddenly there are so many large items, and if he doesn't explain clearly, he will easily be gossip. In order to avoid trouble in the future, he still speaks patiently.

"Then you're very good. You have to buy a bicycle ticket for more than 100 yuan. I heard that you gave Jiang Yao 500 gifts. To be able to spend so much money at once, our Qingyuan production team has nothing to do with it. How many can be so generous."

Lu Che didn't hear the sourness in those words, and said, "I don't have any ability, it's all the money sent back by my aunt."

This was the first time Jiang Yao had seen Lu Che be so "humble" in front of the villagers. She knew his intentions, but she just didn't want to be the focus of others.

He was watched like a monkey for a long time, and only after entering the gate of Lu's house did the melon eaters shut out.

That night, the news that Lu Che's family added bicycles, sewing machines, and radios spread throughout the production team.

When everyone heard the news, they had all kinds of thoughts.

Some people are both envious and jealous of Lu Che, thinking that this kid has a good life, Jiang Yao is a beautiful daughter-in-law, and the family conditions are very good. up.

Some ridiculed Jiang Yao, saying that no matter how beautiful she was, she was not married to the countryside, and made various comments to her husband's family.

For a while, Jiang Yao was very popular. Du Yuejiao was going back to the city because she was going to marry the director of the Revolutionary Committee, and she was becoming the envy of the entire production team.

She was so angry that she decided to follow the pretext of returning to the city, to gather the educated youth and the cadres of the production team, and make a good show before returning to the city.

After Jiang Yao came back, she was busy taking care of the tomatoes and cucumbers in the vegetable garden. Apart from going to the paper factory to get the raw materials, she stayed at home the rest of the time. Quite astonished.

As soon as Lu Che heard that it was Du Yuejiao who invited him to dinner, the first reaction in his mind was Hongmen Banquet, "Daughter-in-law, don't go, you don't even know what medicine she sells in her gourd. I've been busy at this time, waiting for this batch of tomatoes to come out successfully. After the goods, I will see how to clean up her."

"We don't need to clean up her, she cleans up herself." Jiang Yao said: "She invited to dinner this time because she wants to get married and go back to the city. Her man is a widower and can be her father at her age. It's not right to marry such a man. Her greatest punishment?"

"Why is it punishment? The man is a little older, but she is happy as soon as she returns to the city." Lu Che disagreed.

"Isn't it a punishment for a man to be older?" Jiang Yao said as a matter of course: "It's disgusting to be held by an old man to sleep at night."

"...Daughter-in-law, I can understand that you are very happy to sleep with me at night?"

"Of course." Jiang Yao felt that if she continued to fight with him, she would be teased by someone again, so she changed the topic in time: "This time she also invited the cadres of the production team, I can't be special, and give others a kind of me A bad impression of being out of place. Our family background is not good, but we must give outsiders a feeling of being keen to integrate into the group. In the long run, we will definitely not suffer.”

"Daughter-in-law, you really care about the overall situation. It's a blessing for me to marry you."

"Of course." Jiang Yao said, "but you know it in your heart. I don't need actual action rewards."

"..." Lu Che, who was about to propose a reward, could only shut up.
