Chapter 37

After breakfast, Jiang Yao took the old lady to the granary.

Recently, the production team has been busy drying grains. Most of them are working in the granary and nearby open spaces. Lu Dazhou must also be in charge of the work here.

Sure enough, when they arrived, Lu Dazhou was shouting, asking everyone to move quickly.

"Captain." Jiang Yao walked over and called him.

Lu Dazhou turned his head, and when he saw her, he said, "Jiang Yao, why didn't your Lu Che come to work today? He is the most motivated at work. If he was here, how could I use such a slap in the face?"

Before Jiang Yao could speak, Lu Qianyuan, who passed by here at an unknown time, sarcastically said: "It must be because I was unsuccessful in the assessment, I didn't have to go to work in the repair shop, and I was in a bad mood to hide at home. This person really needs to measure his ability. Don't think that you can be a worker if you know a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, can anyone be?"

This Lu Qianyuan and Chen Shuanglian are really a couple, and they are equally annoying.

Jiang Yao listened, her expression remained unchanged, and she said slowly, "Our Lu Che didn't hide at home, he went to the county town. Besides, it's not illegal to go to work in the repair shop, and it's not like he did something illegal. Some people were afraid to meet people without leaving their homes some time ago."

She insinuated, and if Lu Qianyuan couldn't hear it again, he didn't have to mess around. He was so embarrassed that he was about to scold him back when Lu Dazhou glared at him, "Hurry up and carry the millet, at your speed, it's dark and you haven't spread the millet. ."

In the past, the production team set up a paper factory because of the bridge and the line. Lu Qianyuan had to walk sideways, but after Lu Zhisen's incident, ordinary villagers dared to look at him, not to mention Lu Dazhou. Be polite.

Lu Qian's vitality was knotted, he threw his hand, and angrily carried the millet away.

"Jiang Yao, if you have nothing to do, go back first. There are many people here, and you are pregnant, so you are afraid of bumping into you." Lu Dazhou said.

"I'll go back later." Jiang Yao smiled and said, "I'm here today to explain the situation for our Lu Che."

"What's the situation?" Lu Dazhou was a little confused.

Jiang Yao: "That's right. He's afraid that he won't be able to work again in the future. Please, captain, don't assign him any more tasks, so as not to delay the work of the production team."

"Don't go to work?" Lu Dazhou was dumbfounded. "What will your family eat if he doesn't work? Actually, it's nothing to be able to go to work in the repair shop. Is he like this?"

"That's right, when did his face become so thin?" Someone sneered.

"Impossible, isn't Lu Che famous for being thick-skinned in our team? Otherwise, just from his background, he would dare to repair any tractor every day."

"..."

Jiang Yao's voice was not low enough to be heard by the people around her. At this moment, both women and men were crowding around, either sarcastically or hypocritically. No wonder the old lady almost cried in anger just now.

The old lady was really angry at the moment. The hand that held Jiang Yao was so tight that Jiang Yao patted the back of her hand to tell her not to be angry.

Jiang Yao herself was not angry, nor did she hate these villagers as she did to Lu Qianyuan just now, but patiently let them say what they said.

After a long time, everyone had nothing to say, and Jiang Yao said to Lu Dazhou: "Captain, you have misunderstood. It's not that Lu Che dare not come out to meet people and not go to work, but he is going to work."

"What kind of work are you going to? This is too much of a blow, I'm going to lose my mind and go crazy."

"That's right, if Lu Che is going crazy, Jiang Yao, you still follow him and make fun of him. If you don't stop him, do you want to eat the northwest wind?"

The villagers started the connotation mode of "eat radish and worry less", and Jiang Yao also continued to make them "worry".

After all, the more they talk, the more their faces will hurt when she "slaps" with her slap.

When there were only a few sparse voices left, Jiang Yao felt that the brewing was almost done, so he announced in a hurry: "Thank you for your concern, but Lu Che is not lazy and can't work, but he is going to the newly established company. The Red Star Electromechanical Power Plant is at work."

In an instant, at the gate of the bustling granary, the water was as quiet as a river.

"Is this...really?" Lu Dazhou was the first to break the silence, "I heard that this Red Star Electromechanical Power Plant was funded by the province, and it is even better than a machinery factory and a repair shop."

"It's true." Jiang Yao said firmly: "Our family never likes to brag, and we dare to say it after things are implemented. Like Lu Che went to the repair shop for training before, but the training did not say that he would definitely be recruited, so we have always been I didn't say anything. But some people just like to brag about what happened to my Lu Che. "

When the words fell, those who had ridiculed Lu Che before lowered their heads guiltily.

However, some people still asked unwillingly: "Since the mechanical and electrical power plant is so powerful, Lu Che can't even enter the repair shop, so how can he enter the mechanical and electrical power plant?"

"It's not like our family is in the repair shop, it doesn't matter if there is no backstage." Jiang Yao pretended to be aggrieved and said: "I heard that the person admitted by the repair shop this time, his father is an old employee of the repair shop. How can my family Lu Che compete? people."

"Fortunately, his skills are solid. The leaders of the mechanical and electrical power plant are interested in strength, regardless of his background or whether he is a rural person. He will be hired as soon as the decision is made, and he will go to work next week."

Jiang Yao dared to say so, Lu Dazhou had no reason not to believe it. Qingyuan Village had such a talented person, and he was also happy, saying: "It's a pity for our production team that Lu Che can't work. But he can become a worker, I'm happy for him, congratulate him, and also Congratulations to your family."

"Thank you, Captain." Jiang Yao said very generously after finishing speaking, "If you need to use Lu Che in the future, please speak up, Captain."

"Don't say it. In the future, our team's tractors, horns, etc. are broken, and we really have to ask Lu Che for help." Lu Dazhou said gratefully: "Then I will thank you first."

"You're welcome." Jiang Yao said with a smile: "We are a production team, and we should help each other. We will never do those things that are talking behind their backs and destroying unity."

"You're very right." Lu Che said to everyone: "Our team cleans up people who don't do good things, pay attention to yourself. If you have the leisure to talk about right and wrong, it's better to do more things in a down-to-earth way. Look at Lu Che. , I usually talk less and do more, that’s why I’m progressing so fast.”

Although he didn't name it, anyone with a guilty conscience knew who he was talking about. For a time, their faces were red and white, and they didn't dare to speak out when they wanted to refute, for fear of being told that they were seated by their code name, which would be even more embarrassing.

After being full, Jiang Yao did not stay any longer and took the old lady home.

On the way back, the old lady didn't mention how happy she was, she danced and said to Jiang Yao, "Yaoyao, I haven't dared to be so arrogant outside for so many years. Today is more of you, let me, let our Lu family be majestic. one time."

"Damn, don't worry, our life will be better and better in the future, and we will become more and more powerful."

"Okay, I believe you, you are really the lucky star of our Lu family."

In the evening, when it got dark, Lu Che returned from the provincial capital.

After he entered the door, he moved the large and small bags in the car into the room. Although Jiang Yao was curious about what goods he had brought in this time, he thought that he had been tired for a day outside, so he had to eat first.

The bacon that was dried before, the old lady said that it can be eaten today, so Jiang Yao cut 1/4 of it and made a pot of bacon claypot rice.

She cuts the bacon very thinly, but there are not many 1/4 pieces, and it is only a few pieces when divided by a few people, which is not very enjoyable. So, she beat a few eggs, fried a large egg pancake, cut it into shreds, added chopped green onion and stirred it evenly, and a pot of claypot rice with all the colors and flavors came out of the oven.

This is the first sausage meal this year. The old lady asked Jiang Yao to pack a small bowl, and then asked Lu Che to send it to Lao Lao. Elder Yue did not like to take advantage of others, so he might be willing to accept such a small bowl, but no amount would be enough.

They didn't start eating until Lu Che returned from the meal.

The weather is getting colder day by day, and it is a blessing to be able to eat a bowl of warm Chinese sausage rice on a winter night when the northwest wind is howling.

Especially the old lady, she thought of her little daughter as soon as she ate two bites, and said, "It's almost the end of the month, I don't know when Yuanyuan will come back? Yaoyao, remember to make a pot of preserved rice for your sister-in-law, the taste of what you make. Better than what I did."

"Of course there is no problem." Jiang Yao said with a smile.

After the meal, the old lady went back to her room to wipe herself, without Jiang Yao waiting on her, she went back to her room to take a bath. As for the task of washing dishes, of course, it continued to fall into Lu Che's hands.

When they all finished taking a shower and huddled in the room, Jiang Yao took apart the things he brought back today.

This time, in addition to malted milk essence, candy and other good gifts, Lu Che also found a small box of chocolates. He was reluctant to deliver it to others, and planned to keep it for Jiang Yao to eat.

Speaking of chocolate, Jiang Yao has not eaten for a long time. In last life, didn't eat it because wanted to manage body. After all, people in their thirties are easy to gain weight when they fall. As for this life, chocolate is hard to see, let alone eat.

While Lu Che was still handling the goods, she opened the chocolate box, took one out, tore off the wrapping paper and put it in her mouth.

Probably because she hadn't eaten it for too long, she thought this chocolate was very delicious, so she said to Lu Che, "It's very fragrant and delicious, I'll peel one for you."

"No." Lu Che refused immediately, "Just keep it for yourself, I don't like it."

"I know I don't like it if I haven't eaten it." Jiang Yao knew that he was reluctant to eat it, and wanted to keep it all for herself, she muttered, "You can just taste it, it won't be good if I eat one less. ."

Lu Che couldn't help but feel amused when he saw her pouted mouth. He stood up and walked in front of her, suddenly bent down and kissed her lips with his lips.

So caught off guard, Jiang Yao was still in a daze, his tongue had stuck into her mouth, wanton absorbing the sweetness of her chocolate scent.

When the chocolate was completely melted, he let go of her, licked his lips with his tongue, and said contentedly, "It's really delicious."

"..."

In the next few days, Lu Che went to the provincial capital to pick up the goods again, and then followed up with the consignor and agreed to deliver it at a relatively secret location.

In order to be foolproof, he arranged different people at different locations, and the delivery location this time will be different from the next one.

When he had sold half of the goods, he also ushered in the first day of working at the Hongxing Mechanical and Electrical Power Plant.

Jiang Yao made him a new set of clothes early on. He was worried that it would get dirty and was reluctant to wear them, but she insisted, "Our life will be better in the future, wear new clothes casually, don't dress like an old man. It's like, good things are put in the bottom of the box and are reluctant to use."

"Old Man" stimulated Big Brother Lu this time, he put on his new clothes without saying a word, and said, "Daughter-in-law, although children of the same age can play soy sauce, our child has not yet been born, but I don't think I am old. "

"Yes, you are not old at all." Jiang Yao didn't expect him to care so much. In her eyes, 23 years old is just a little fresh meat? Where are you getting old?

She answered too simply. He felt that she was perfunctory, took her hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, I can't do anything about my age, but I will work hard to make myself worthy of you."

"Why are you so stupid?" Jiang Yao laughed "pochi", leaned against his chest, and said, "You have to be more confident, you have always been worthy of me. I just ask you to be successful in the future, don't It's enough to despise me, the scumbag wife."

"Nonsense, what kind of wife are you, are you so beautiful and smart?" Lu Che said righteously.

Jiang Yao listened, laughed even more, and said, "Okay, don't be poor, go out to have breakfast, and then go to work. Today is the first day of work, don't be late, otherwise you will make a big impression in front of the leaders. discount."

"Okay, you and Nian have to eat well at home, don't be reluctant to eat bacon, I'll buy the meat after eating and come back to dry it." Lu Che said, stroked her slightly bulging belly, and said, "The baby has four It's been a month, and it's getting closer to the time we meet. Dad will work hard to make money, you have to be obedient and don't make mother uncomfortable, you know?"

His voice was gentle and his expression was soft. Jiang Yao looked at him and thought, Big Brother Lu should be a loving father in the future.

After Lu Che went to work, Jiang Yao and the old lady stayed at home to take care of the vegetable garden and do handicrafts.

After doing this manual work for about an hour, there was a knock on the door of the Lu family.

Jiang Yao went out to open the door and saw Zhu Xia, Wen Qian and Zhou Qiong standing outside, each carrying handmade raw materials.

"You...what's the matter?" Jiang Yao asked in confusion.

Zhu Xia asked, "Can we do handicraft at your house?"

"Of course." Jiang Yao readily agreed, but still asked, "Can I know the reason?"

"Yes, let's go in and talk."

It turned out that the production team has recently entered the slack period of farming, and the farm work has dropped sharply. Most of the members have started to earn centimeters by handicraft, and Zhu Xia and the others are no exception.

Just because there are so many people doing handicrafts and limited space in the paper factory, many people have to take it home to do it.

Originally, there would be no conflicts between doing things separately, but the farmers they borrowed from were very greedy and asked the educated youth to help them.

"Why didn't you help me in the slack season before, but now I ask you to help?" Jiang Yao asked in confusion.

Zhu Xia: "I wasn't very familiar with it at the beginning, so I couldn't be so shameless. Now we help with the harvesting of the two rice plants. It's easy for them to do things like manual work. I am in the Tian family, Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian. It won't make me suffer like this, but their daughter-in-law wants to take advantage of me when they get the chance."

"..."

The collective economy of these years has really hit the individual's enthusiasm for labor. After all, everyone wants to feel more comfortable.

After hearing this, the old lady also felt that these educated youth girls were pitiful, and said proudly: "If there is nothing else in our house, there is a place. As long as you don't dislike it, you can come here to do handicrafts in the future."

"Thank you, Grandma Lu." Zhu Xia quickly thanked her.

"Thank you." The old lady said indifferently, "You can come and chat with Yaoyao, and let her listen to my old lady's old stories all day long. Her ears are getting calluses."

"Grandma, my ears don't have calluses." Jiang Yao said, "What you said is very interesting, especially the love between you and grandpa when you were young. I like to hear it."

"What... Are you in love?" The old lady blushed and said, "I married the old man blindly. Now it's a new society. You have to pay attention to free love."

"Grandma Lu, I want to fall in love freely." Wen Qian sighed and said, "But there must be a partner, a man. We work in the production team every day. Where can I meet a good man?"

"I think your eyes are too high to look down on our rural people." The old lady hummed: "Actually, you should broaden your horizons a little, there are actually good things in the countryside, like my Lu Che, you ask Yaoyao, marry Make him happy or not."

Without waiting for Jiang Yao to reply, Zhu Xia said in unison, "Grandma Lu, then you can find us someone like Lu Che."

Old lady: "...Sorry, no."

Jiang Yao laughed when they sang and gave it.

Seeing her smile, everyone laughed too.

"Hey... Everyone, stop laughing... Is there someone knocking on the door outside?" Zhu Xia suddenly shouted, everyone immediately quieted down, and sure enough, a "dong, dong, dong" sounded outside.

"Why is our house so lively today?" the old lady said and stood up, "I'll go drive, it should be the neighbor next door looking for me."

"Grandma, be careful."

"Yes."

Not long after the old lady went out, her excited voice came from outside, "Yaoyao, come out soon, your sister-in-law is back."

Aunt? Jiang Yao took half a beat to react, and immediately stood up and walked out.

There was no photo of Lu Yuan in the Lu family. Jiang Yao was very curious about her. When she walked out of the main room, she saw a fashionable woman in a woolen coat and high heels walking inside with the old lady.

Lu Yuan really belongs to the Lu family, and inherits the Lu family's fine-looking genes. She is not only beautiful, but also very temperamental. With this Hong Kong-style dress, she looks more like she has passed through.

"Little aunt." Jiang Yao called out sweetly, and Lu Yuan replied with a smile: "This must be Lu Che's daughter-in-law, she is indeed a great beauty."

"Little aunt, you're wrong." Jiang Yao said modestly.

"Your sister-in-law's mouth is like a knife. She won't say anything flattering." The old lady said, "If she says you are beautiful, you must be beautiful."

Jiang Yao: "...Then thank you little aunt."

Lu Yuan suddenly came to visit, and Zhu Xia was not bothered anymore. The old lady felt sorry for them, and asked Jiang Yao not to let them go back. She took them to her former room to do handicrafts, and then went back to cook at noon.

When Jiang Yao returned to the main room, she began to seriously look at Lu Che, the aunt.

Lu Yuan is forty-four this year, but she is well-maintained, knows how to dress, and looks like she is in her early thirties.

She used to have a bright temperament. She used to be oppressed here and couldn't help herself. When she went to Hong Kong City, she completely released herself.

She accepted new ideas there, and she was in perfect harmony with Jiang Yao, a future person from the 2020s.

When Lu Che came back from get off work in the evening, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw that his daughter-in-law and his aunt were leaning against each other and chatting together, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"What? I haven't seen you for two years, don't you recognize your aunt?" Lu Yuan asked with raised eyebrows.

"Little aunt, you're back." Lu Che came back to his senses, called Lu Yuan respectfully, then walked over and pushed Lu Yuan away from Jiang Yao, "Little aunt, my Yaoyao is pregnant, you Don't crush her."

"Stinky boy, have you forgotten your aunt when you have a daughter-in-law?" Lu Yuan raised her hand and shook Lu Che's head.

"Little aunt, I'm not a child anymore, can you please stop shaking my head." Lu Che frowned, "I'm still in front of my daughter-in-law, so I'm very embarrassed."

"Oh...you brat..." Lu Yuan laughed angrily at him, "In the past years, I came back and asked you to ask for a daughter-in-law earlier. "

"You were not happy when I didn't marry a daughter-in-law before, and now you are not happy when I do. How can you be unreasonable like those women in the village who have married a daughter-in-law." Lu Che retorted.

"Lu, Che..." Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "You're going to be a father now, aren't your wings hard? You and I don't even care about you."

Jiang Yao saw Lu Yuan looking like she was about to beat someone, and was about to persuade him to fight, when she heard Lu Che shouting, "Mother, my aunt is about to beat someone, you hurry up and take care of your daughter."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an angry voice from the old lady coming from the room, "Lu Yuan, you are in your forties and still bullying your nephew, are you embarrassed?"

"Mom, how many times have I said it, don't mention my age, don't you know that I'm in my forties?" Lu Yuan exploded this time.

In an instant, the three generations of the Lu family were in a hustle and bustle.

Jiang Yao looked at them and felt extremely happy.

In her last life, she hoped that she could have such a happy family, but she never thought it would come true in this life.

I have to say, Lu Yuan is really a living treasure. With her around, the laughter is always constant.

After dinner, Lu Che went to wash the dishes, and the three women stayed in the main room chatting.

As the so-called "three women play in one show", he gets excited as soon as they chat, Lu Che sits next to Jiang Yao, and she is so busy chatting that he doesn't even look at him, he feels very boring.

Until eight o'clock in the evening, he finally couldn't help it, pulled Jiang Yao up and said, "It's getting late, you're sleepy too, let's go back to the room to sleep."

"I'm not sleepy." Jiang Yao said while chatting excitedly.

"You're not sleepy, baby is sleepy." Lu Che said stiffly.

Jiang Yao: "..."

"Okay, Yaoyao, go back, or someone will become a grudge." Lu Yuan said quietly.

It was rare that Lu Che didn't push back. As long as he could take his daughter-in-law away, he didn't bother to fight for words.

Jiang Yao went back to the room first, and Lu Che came in with warm water, then took his pajamas to take a cold shower.

Originally, Jiang Yao still wondered why Lu Che didn't accompany Lu Yuan when Lu Yuan rarely came back. She didn't understand why until the two climbed into bed after taking a bath.

This man has counted his days and is waiting to exercise.

It has been quite a few days since the last time, Jiang Yao had no reason to refuse, and only routinely told him to take it easy.

"Don't worry, daughter-in-law, I'm here."

Lu Che kissed her lips as he spoke, but just as they were about to enter Jiajing, there was a knock on their door.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan's voice came from outside, "Lu Che, come out."

"What's the matter?" Lu Che gritted his teeth.

"You come out first, it's urgent."

"It's really the first thing the Lu family does."

Lu Che got up reluctantly, opened the door and asked unhappily, "What's the urgency?"

"Look at your attitude?" Lu Yuan curled her lips in disgust and said, "Forget it, I have a request from you, so I won't bother with you, and help me bring the hot water to the room."

"Is this the emergency you said?" Lu Che's face turned black with anger, "After you went to the port city, can't you even lift the water?"

"Yes, there is running water over there, and a water heater is also used for bathing." Lu Yuan said as a matter of course.

"..."

Lu Che could only accept his fate to fetch the hot water. When he brought the bucket into Lu Yuan's room, he specifically asked her, "Is there anything else? I'll go back to sleep without me, and don't disturb us again."

"No, go to sleep now."

Lu Che returned to his room. No one was bothering him. Of course, he had to continue what he had not done just now.

But when the atmosphere was right, the door was knocked again.

Lu Yuan's voice came from outside the door again, "Lu Che, I'm done taking a shower, please pour the water for me."

"Lu Yuan, did you mean that water will not work tomorrow?"

"That's alright!" Lu Yuanqiang couldn't hold back her laughter, and said, "Then tomorrow, I won't disturb your sleep, good night."

Jiang Yao, who was a little annoyed when she was interrupted at first, smiled "pochi", "My little aunt is very vengeful, don't offend her next time."
