Chapter 53

"Yaoyao, are you alright? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Zhu Xia asked worriedly when she saw Jiang Yao suddenly sit down with a pale face.

"I...it's fine." Jiang Yao came back to her senses and forced herself to stand up, "I'll go back first."

Lawyer Jiang had seen strong winds and waves, but this matter might involve Lu Che, which made her panic for a while. The more nervous it is, the more she needs to cheer up. If Lu Che is really caught, the family will depend on her to support her.

It is very serious to be caught buying and selling without permission these days, ranging from sent to labor camps to serious prisons. If it was a human loot, no matter how powerful her lawyer Jiang's mouth was, it would be impossible to fish Lu Che out of it.

She put the siblings on the cart and said goodbye to Zhu Xia. Zhu Xia was a little uneasy about her and wanted to send her back, but she refused, "I'm really fine, I probably didn't eat much at noon, and now I'm so hungry that I'm dizzy, I'll be fine tonight if I'm full. "

"Why aren't you full at noon?" Zhu Xia was distressed and angry, and she took a candy and handed it to her, "Eat it quickly, or you will faint and no one will know."

"Okay." Jiang Yao took off the wrapping paper and stuffed the candy into her mouth. Only then did Zhu Xia let her go back with confidence.

People like to eat sugar these days, and the sugar is also made very sweet. After a while, the rich sweetness filled her mouth, but she tasted a bitter taste.

Now it's not sure whether Lu Che was arrested or not. Jiang Yao wants to confirm, she must go to the police station first. If he was really caught, she would have to find a way to reduce his sentence as much as possible.

While thinking, she pushed the brothers and sisters to the house, until she heard the clear voice of the deer: "Dad, Daddy..."

Jiang Yao raised her head abruptly, only to see Lu Che coming towards them from not far away on a bicycle.

"Xiaolu, Cheche, daughter-in-law, go home for dinner." Lu Che waved at them while riding, until he stopped in front of them, only to find that Jiang Yao's face was very bad.

"Daughter-in-law, are you sick?" Lu Che frowned and asked anxiously.

"No..." Jiang Yao reacted, grabbed Lu Che's arm and asked, "Are you all right? Where did you go today?"

"What can I do?" Lu Che looked puzzled, "I went back to Qingyuan to find a master. There was a problem that bothered me for a long time, so I went to ask him. I told you when I went out in the morning. Oh, did you forget?"

"So...you have been in Qingyuan all day today, haven't you gone anywhere?"

"Yes." Lu Che was really getting more and more dizzy by her troubles. "Daughter-in-law, tell me quickly if something happened to you. I'm hanging on to it."

"It's okay." Jiang Yao finally smiled and said, "Let's go home, I'll tell you something after dinner."

There are residential houses around, in case the partition wall has ears, and private buying and selling cannot be said outside.

Lu Che's face was full of curiosity, but Jiang Yao didn't say that there must be her reason, and he didn't force it.

When the two children fell asleep at night, Lu Che asked, "What happened?"

"Zhang Dongyi's relative who was in private business was arrested today when he was in contact with the source. It is estimated that it was a big operation. I heard that a lot of people were arrested." Speaking of this, Jiang Yao was a little embarrassed, "I slept in the morning. I'm too confused, I didn't hear you say to go back to Qingyuan. When you went out, your milk went to buy vegetables, so I didn't know where you were going, so I thought you went to the provincial capital to pick up the goods today."

"Fool, I've been going to the provincial capital by car recently. When you see that my bicycle is not at home, you know that I'm not going to pick up the goods." Lu Che said helplessly and indulgently.

"If I don't care, it's messed up?" Jiang Yao was ashamed, "In short, it's good luck that you can escape this time, but you can't have luck, let's not do it in the future, okay? Otherwise, I'll be worried every day. Can the day go by?"

"Okay, I promise you, I won't touch this in the future." Lu Che sighed: "Daughter-in-law, it's really thanks to you that I can escape this disaster this time. If you hadn't reminded me in advance, I might be true today. I ran to the provincial capital."

Jiang Yao did not dare to take credit and said, "It should be God who favors us, and we must cherish it. I think the trend of sports will pick up again after the new year. We can still keep a low profile if we can."

"I think this trend will pass sooner or later, but before that, we can't be caught with a whip, otherwise it will be doomed. Life is a long run, regardless of temporary gains and losses, keeping a low profile is also for the future."

"Okay." Lu Che nodded in response, "The master also said something to me today, and the general idea is similar to yours. There is another good news to tell you, he has been rehabilitated."

"Really?" Jiang Yao's eyes were full of surprises, "When did it happen? Is he going back?"

Lu Che: "Really, he told me today that he received a notice last week and will return to the original unit in the capital after the year. But he didn't make a statement. Now, except for Lu Dazhou, no one else in the production team knows about it."

"That's great." Jiang Yao was really happy for Elder Yue. After so many years, he finally got through. However, she still didn't understand, "Why didn't Mr. Yue tell the news of his vindication, so that at least he wouldn't have to be bullied by others."

"The master said that the situation is still very serious. Although he worked hard in Qingyuan, it was a shelter for him. When he went back, he couldn't tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing." Lu Che said: "He said that he should try to keep a low profile after he goes back. If you really can't, just pretend to be sick and stay at home, and talk about the future."

"Yue Lao really sees it clearly." Jiang Yao said, "After he returns this time, he will not know when he will meet in the future. Let's go back to Qingyuan for the New Year, and your master and apprentice will get together."

"I know, he will be called to the New Year's Eve dinner as usual."

Because of the assault on private business, this year is doomed to be an uneasy year.

After that day, as soon as Jiang Yao went out, he could hear people discussing this matter, and Lu Che also heard people talking about it all the time when he was working in the mechanical and electrical power plant.

As for Zhang Dong's relative, even if he spent money to get out of the relationship, he would definitely not be able to escape if he was sentenced to labor reform.

Jiang Yao and Lu Che remained silent on the matter and did not make any remarks. He secretly went to inquire with his former partners and said that the few people he cooperated with rarely cooperated with the source of the arrest, so they all escaped.

"We have been in this business for so many years, although we are secretive, but we are still loyal and trustworthy people, otherwise we would not have been able to do it for so long." The partner said: "After working with you for several years, you have never treated us badly. It is unlucky to say that one day whoever of us is locked up will not confess the others."

"Thank you." Lu Che sincerely thanked.

"What's there to thank for this?" The partner is almost forty years old, and he is considered a junior elder of Lu Che. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have a stable job, so don't do it in the future. It’s hard to say what the situation is, but even if there is no firewood to burn, I have talked to a few other people and they all said to stop temporarily. We have made a lot of money over the years, and it is not a problem to maintain a living for two or three years. "

"I see." Lu Che said, "I'm not very skilled, but if you need me in the future, feel free to speak."

"Okay, tomorrow will be New Year's Eve, go back early to prepare for the New Year with your wife and children."

Since Jiang Yao's mood was still affected by this incident recently, Lu Che didn't set an example this year. He chose to take a holiday on New Year's Eve with the first and second days of the new year, and went back to Qingyuan with them to celebrate the New Year.

Although the Lu family had no relatives to leave, it was a joy to be able to stay together during the Chinese New Year.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, everyone got up early, and then started to tie up the back of Jiang Yao's bicycle. When she goes back, she is responsible for pulling the luggage, and Lu Che is responsible for taking the old lady and two children.

"Are you ready to go back?" Zhu Xia ran over early in the morning and walked in directly when she saw that the door was open.

"Yes." Jiang Yao smiled when she saw her, "Why are you so idle? Didn't you go back to your mother-in-law's house today?"

"Yeah." Zhu Xia was obviously not very interested in going back to her husband's house, but she was very excited when she thought about going back to her parents' home in the provincial capital in the first two years, and she pulled Jiang Yao and asked, "Zhang Dongchu and I brought Tongtong back to the provincial capital, he said Lu Che is also on holiday that day, do you want to go back with us?"

"This..." Jiang Yao habitually looked at Lu Che, and he heard Zhu Xia's words, and said, "Look at you, if you want to come back to us, we won't be very tired by car anyway." He looked at her recently Feeling nervous, if she wants to, go for a walk in the provincial capital.

"Okay, then let's come back early in the morning on the second day of the first day of the new year, and then meet you and set off together." Jiang Yao said.

"Then it's settled." Zhu Xia cheered, "I'll go first, happy new year everyone!"

"Everyone is happy!" Jiang Yao said with a smile.

Soon after Zhu Xia left, they packed up their things and rode their bicycles back to Qingyuan.

When he returned to the old house, it was still early. Jiang Yao handed over the siblings to the old lady, while she cleaned up with Lu Che.

The house was covered with dust, and there was no place for the two children to play, so the old lady simply pushed them to Aunt Zhang's house. She has brought two little guys for a few months, and she can be regarded as their grandma.

When Jiang Yao heard that the old lady was going to Aunt Zhang's house, she immediately took out some snacks and candies from her luggage and asked her to take them there.

After the old lady took it, she went out with her brother and sister.

Jiang Yao and Lu Che were busy all morning before cleaning up the house, while the old lady and the little guys didn't come back until dinner time.

"You two are playing so much you don't want to come back, right?" Jiang Yao said with a smile when she saw them coming back as soon as she cooked the rice.

"No." The old lady said nervously, "I asked Aunt Zhang for news, so I came back so late."

"What's the news?" Lu Che, who was cutting meat, raised his head and asked.

The old lady lowered her voice and said, "I heard that a few families from poor backgrounds in the production team next door have been bullied recently. If you two became workers, we would move to the county town again. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Same thing."

When Lu Che and Jiang Yao heard this, their mood also sank a bit, but he still comforted the old lady, "Damn, don't be afraid, we are different now. Anyway, we are going to the provincial capital on the second day of the new year, and we will go back early in the morning. Don't worry, we'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon."

"Then I'll leave tomorrow afternoon." In order not to have too many dreams at night, the old lady made a decisive decision.

"Okay." Lu Che said, "Don't think too much. Celebrate the New Year first. No matter what other people do, they won't make trouble during the Spring Festival. They don't mind making trouble with other people's homes, but they are always worried about making trouble with their own."

"That's the same reason." The old lady nodded and said, "Why don't we invite Elder Yue over tonight, so as not to implicate him."

The old lady was worried that she would affect Mr. Yue, but Mr. Yue was not afraid.

He heard the reason why the old lady didn't want to invite him over, and said quickly, "I'm not afraid. I'm going back to the capital in the second year of junior high, so what else should I be afraid of."

As soon as Lu Che heard it, he asked, "Master, are you going to the county seat to go to the provincial railway station on the morning of the second day of the new year? If so, let's go to the provincial capital that day."

"Yes." Elder Yue said, "We'll be together then."

The old lady: "Tomorrow afternoon, we will go back to the provincial capital. You can go back with us and stay in the county town for one night. There is a room there."

Yue Lao heard the sound and did not shirk, "Then I would be more respectful than obedient."

Probably because he was rehabilitated, Elder Yue was in high spirits that night. In addition to playing with his brother and sister all the time, he also kept drinking with Lu Che.

Lu Che was reluctant to bear this teacher, and he drank too high unconsciously.

When he went to bed at night, Jiang Yao wanted to push him to take a bath, but he didn't push him for a long time. In the end, he even used beauty to confuse him, but he was still indifferent. She finally believed that someone was really drunk.

When he was drunk, he fell asleep. The last time he pestered her, it was obvious that he was using alcohol to commit murder. It was all because he was too young to be deceived by him.

The next day, Lu Che rarely slept late, and Jiang Yao followed him.

It was not until noon that he and Mr. Yue woke up and had the first lunch of the new year together.

After dinner, everyone took another nap and set off back to the county seat.

After entering the house in the county town, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lu Che, "Are the doors and windows of the old house tightly closed?"

"It's all closed, what's wrong?" Lu Che asked.

"It's just fine." The old lady said, "From now on, we won't go back if we don't go back."

Everyone understands why she said this. Jiang Yao asked, "Damn, you've lived in the old house for decades, and it's okay to travel far away. Would you be willing to go back so close?"

"Why not?" The old lady said, "As Mr. Yue said, these days, a place that can be a safe haven and can be a safe place is a good place. I don't care about that anymore."

"Lu Che's mother, you can think so." Elder Yue praised: "For us older people, we just have to be open to it, so that we can live a comfortable life."

"That's right." The old lady smiled and said, "I will go to the provincial capital with you tomorrow to see and see together."

"Grandma, are you willing to go with us?" Jiang Yao said in surprise.

"Yes, bring a cane when the time comes, you can wait for me if I walk slowly."

The next day, everyone got up early, and then went to the provincial capital with Zhu Xia for three rounds.

Because Yue Lao had to catch a train, he went straight to the train station when he arrived at the provincial capital. Lu Che wanted to see him off, but he refused, "It is inconvenient for you to bring a family with you. You have to say goodbye to see you a thousand miles away. It's fine here."

"Then pay attention to safety on the road, send me a telegram when you arrive, and keep in touch by letter in the future." Lu Che said.

"Okay." Elder Yue patted Lu Che on the shoulder and said, "I have taught for so many years, and you are the most savvy one I have ever seen. If the master can return to the previous height in the future, you are welcome to come to the capital to find me. I will do my best to help you develop better.”

"Master, I will definitely." Lu Che smiled: "Then I will thank you in advance."

After everyone said some goodbyes, Elder Yue turned around and left.

Lu Che looked at his slightly vicissitudes back, and felt a lot of emotion for a while.

Zhu Xia and the three returned to Zhu's house to pay New Year's greetings, and Jiang Yao and Lu Che took the old lady and two children to play in the downtown area and the park.

The festive atmosphere in the provincial capital is stronger than that in the county town. Changchang, Xiaolu, and the old lady are full of curiosity and excitement, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

They had lunch at the state-run restaurant at noon. The decoration of the state-run restaurant was considered luxurious in this era, and the old lady sat in it and said with a sense: "In those days, Lu Che's grandfather once said that he would bring me to the provincial capital to see it, who knew that he would come home later. It became like this, I thought I would never have a chance to come here and see it in my life.”

"Damn, don't worry, there will be more opportunities in the future." Jiang Yao said with relief: "In the future, how about we take you to the capital to see Elder Yue?"

"Of course." The old lady's eyes narrowed with a smile, and she said, "Then I will work hard to live until that day. As for how to get to the capital, it is up to you to work hard and find a way."

"Milk, no problem, leave it to us, we have already figured out how to do it." Jiang Yao said.

"real?"

"of course it's true."

The solution that Jiang Yao said is actually very simple, that is, until the end of next year, keep a low profile and not show any limelight. They can only spend these two years smoothly, their era, and their good days will come as promised.

When I got home in the evening, I waited for the two little guys to take a bath, and when they were coaxed to sleep, Jiang Yao pulled Lu Che and said, "You will be going to work tomorrow, let's agree, from now on, you can be as low-key as you can, credit and limelight. If you can let others rob, let others rob, as long as you do your job well and don't make mistakes."

With so many things happening recently, of course Lu Che understood Jiang Yao's intentions. He nodded, hugged the person tightly, and said, "I understand, it's just that I'm suffering, follow me in fear."

"What nonsense are you talking about." Jiang Yao rubbed his arms in his arms, raised her hand and drew circles on his chest, "We are husband and wife, if we can't face this difficulty together, we can talk about it. What's living together forever? Trust me, it won't be like this forever, it will get better soon."

"I know." Lu Che's voice suddenly became hoarse, Jiang Yao raised her head, and saw him staring at her deeply, "Daughter-in-law, it's hard for me not to misunderstand you like this Seduce me."

"...You think too much, I don't mean it."

"I've thought about it too much, so I'll just be wrong." As he spoke, his lips fell.

A few days after Lu Che went to work, Jiang Yao also started work.

One of the couple is busy with research, the other is busy with organizing kindergarten, and they keep spinning like a spinning top every day, but they never complain.

Director Wu and Director Li saw it in their eyes, and they both affirmed their work. In addition to thanking the old leaders for their appreciation, they all consciously pushed the credit to the team members, but they just didn’t want to take the credit.

Lu Che and Jiang Yao not only did not want to take credit, but even Director Wu and Director Li wanted to push them to the podium, but they refused.

Whether it is the outstanding employees in the mechanical and electrical power plant or the outstanding workers who are to be commended every year in the county, when they face each honor, they all give them to others with ease.

Not only was Director Wu and Director Li confused by the duo's underestimation of their reputation, but the employees of the mechanical and electrical plant and the kindergarten couldn't even figure it out.

Occasionally someone came to ask them why they didn't want to be promoted or won an award. They fooled him in terms of left and right, and others laughed and said nothing if they wanted to explore further.

Even when Zhu Xia and Zhang Donglai asked, they didn't reveal half the truth.

After more than a year, Changchang and Xiaolu were already three years old, and they were officially promoted to kindergarten in September 1976.

Not long after they became primary school students, Jiang Yao's long-awaited historical turning point finally came.

During this time, the whole society was caught in a complex mood of extreme grief and extreme excitement. Jiang Yao and Lu Che are still Buddhist, and they don't talk about any politics-related topics outside.

However, the old lady has been very happy recently, because now there is no sports ethos, she no longer has to worry about being bullied suddenly one day.

On the day of the winter solstice, she got up early in the morning to buy vegetables, and was busy at home all day. When Lu Che came back in a few nights, a sumptuous dinner was waiting for them.

"Wow, grandma, many times today." Xiaolu said in a clear voice.

"Of course, today is the winter solstice." Chang Chang explained to his sister that since he said the first sentence, his speech has improved by leaps and bounds, and with his flexible mind, he now understands much more than children of the same age.

"Brother, what is the winter solstice?" Xiaolu asked, tilting his head.

"The winter solstice is..." Just as Chang Chang was about to explain, the old lady said, "Okay, it's cold, you brothers and sisters don't care about talking, eat first, and say while eating, the great grandma left a big chicken leg for each of you. ."

"It's great! There are big drumsticks to eat!" The little guys jumped and jumped with excitement.

When they had the chicken legs, the adults also sat down to eat. The old lady pointed to a plate of bacon on the table and said, "This is what Mr. Yue sent us last time. You should try it quickly." He murmured again: "I don't know what happened to Elder Yue recently? The situation is very good now. He is a university professor again, so he should be re-entrusted with important tasks."

"Grandma, if you want to know if Mr. Yue is okay, just let Lu Che see what he wrote in his letter." Jiang Yao said, took out a letter from the messenger bag and handed it to Lu Che, "I'll be there at noon. When I went out with my co-workers, I happened to get it back from the post office."

Seeing that it was Elder Yue's letter, Lu Che took it and opened it.

"What did Yue Lao say?" Lu Che didn't speak after watching Lao Che for a long time, Jiang Yao couldn't help but ask.

Lu Che looked up at Jiang Yao. Although his face was calm, his eyes couldn't hide his excitement. He said, "Daughter-in-law, Mr. Yue said that he would invite me to work in the capital."
