Chapter 43 The Lively Scene in the Village
Chapter 43 The Lively Scene in the Village
No one will easily compromise when their own interests are at stake.
Especially when they first found out, they would never agree to it.
However, despite Zhao Zhongcai's angry outburst and threats, everyone remained committed to working and earning work points.
He may work hard, but he does engage in various underhanded tactics.
"Big news! Big news!" Lu Yuanbo ran home excitedly.
"What big news is it, Fourth Uncle?" Lu Mingnan, the ever-eager little guy, quickly asked.
Lu Yuanqing, who was taking a break to keep accounts, smiled upon hearing this and guessed, "Could it be that the person has been caught?"
Lu Yuanbo, who had intended to keep everyone in suspense, immediately deflated like a frostbitten eggplant. His excitement at announcing the big news dissipated considerably. He gave his clever third brother a reproachful look and asked, "Brother, how did you know?"
"I just saw the scene and rushed back to tell you all!"
Lu Yuanqing looked up at him with amusement, and was about to say something when Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi came out with food. Upon hearing this, they both exclaimed in surprise, "You caught him?"
"Yes, yes!" Lu Yuanbo nodded excitedly, "You didn't see it! Aunt Chunhua personally led Boss Zhao to catch several people! Aunt Chunhua immediately started cursing and rushed over, scratching those people's faces!"
"Really? Is it still there?" Lu Mingxi put down the food in his hand and hurriedly asked, as if he wanted to go and see the excitement right away.
"Aunt Chunhua, along with the three Zhao brothers, escorted those people home from house to house!" Lu Yuanbo said with some regret. "If we go now, we might still see the end of it. I wonder if Aunt Chunhua and the others will start fighting!"
He originally intended to watch the show and enjoy it, but he just wanted to come back and tell his family!
"I'll go take a look!" Upon hearing this, Lu Mingxi gave a brief instruction and quickly ran out the door.
Just as Lu Yuanqing finished recording the accounts and carefully put the ledger away, he saw Lu Mingxi's figure flash past the door.
That's fast!
"Brother, are you going to watch the excitement?" Lu Yuanbo asked.
Lu Yuanqing was speechless at how restless he seemed, eager to go out and see the excitement.
"I'm not going, you go by yourself!"
Lu Yuanbo didn't insist, and quickly called Lu Yuanhuan to go watch the excitement too, "Hurry up! What if the excitement is over by the time we get there!"
Lu Yuanhuan hesitated. She couldn't resist going out to see what was going on, but she also had to eat, as she needed to feed her two little ones.
Lu Yuanqing waved to her, "Go ahead! I'm at home!"
It's rare to see Lu Yuanhuan like this; he's usually so mature, so it's unusual to see him with such a childlike, fun-loving side.
"Then I'm off, Third Brother!" Lu Yuanhuan said with a smile.
"Let's go! Xiao west might already be here!" Lu Yuanbo urged his men to leave.
But Lu Mingnan quickly grabbed his leg, "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, take me with you! I want to go too!"
Lu Yuanbo initially wanted to refuse, but the little guy was holding on too tightly.
He was incredibly anxious!
But he didn't dare to pull too hard and throw the little brat away, or he'd be in big trouble today!
But if we delay any longer, the excitement might be over!
Seeing that Lu Yuanhuan was about to run far away, Lu Yuanbo could only bend down and pick up Lu Mingnan, running frantically outside. His two thin legs, which were not thick, were almost out of sight.
Lu Yuanqing watched as his three children vanished like a whirlwind, along with the food that had just been served on the table.
Tsk tsk tsk! Human nature!
Lu Yuanqing picked up the twins who were playing on the ground, casually patted their bottoms as if following local custom, and then carefully placed them on a small stool, preparing to watch over them while they ate.
"Sit still and wait for your third uncle to bring you food," Lu Yuanqing instructed twice.
"Okay!" The two little ones smiled sweetly at him and said obediently.
Lu Yuanqing smiled as he read it; she was quite well-behaved.
There wasn't much to look forward to in terms of food. Since we didn't have an iron pot at home, we could only cook rice in a clay pot, so every meal was porridge.
He ate so much that his stomach felt uncomfortable!
But you still have to eat.
Lu Yuanqing turned around to get food for the two little ones and saw that Lu Mingdong was already sitting at the table, happily eating a bowl of food.
Lu Yuanqing asked in confusion, "Xiao Dong, aren't you going to go watch the excitement?"
Lu Mingdong rolled his eyes instinctively and said, "What are you looking at? Are you looking at how much more excrement has been thrown at the brigade leader's house? Or are you looking at Aunt Chunhua's half-hearted attempt to settle scores? I'm not interested in any of that!"
Lu Mingdong prefers to eat properly at home!
"You can actually roll your eyes?" Lu Yuanqing exclaimed as if he had discovered a new continent!
This cool guy can roll his eyes? Lu Yuanqing found it very interesting.
Lu Mingdong swallowed the food in his mouth, stopped putting more food in, and glanced at the person who seemed interested, his eyes darting around.
"What are you doing?" Lu Yuanqing was full of questions.
Lu Mingdong finally stopped what he was doing and said calmly, "Rolling your eyes!"
"you sure?"
"I'll give you ten!"
Lu Yuanqing was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter, "Xiao Dong, hahaha, you're so funny! Hahaha!!! You little iceberg, I thought you, hahaha..."
The two little ones waiting to be fed didn't understand what he was laughing at, but they still laughed along with him.
Lu Mingdong's usually cold face was flushed with their smiles.
When Lu Yuanqing saw it, he was overjoyed, as if he had discovered a new continent. He went up and hugged it in his arms, giving it a squeeze.
"Hahaha, little guy, you can be shy now! Hahaha! Is it raining red blood? You can actually be shy!! Hahaha!!! This is a rare opportunity! Your fourth uncle and the others missed it!! Hahaha!!!"
Lu Mingdong was furious!
"Third Uncle, um, let...me go!!" Lu Mingdong struggled repeatedly.
But at such a young age, how could he possibly withstand Lu Yuanqing's strength? In the end, he was so exhausted that he couldn't break free from the man's grip. Finally, he gave up on life and let the man manipulate him.
Lu Yuanqing laughed non-stop the whole time, hahaha!!! It's definitely more fun to tease these cute little boys.
Anyway, he's Lu Mingdong's third uncle now, so when he teases people, he does it in a completely open and righteous way.
They only let him go after he had amused him enough.
Lu Mingdong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yuanqing burst into laughter again after reading it.
Lu Mingdong got angry and shoveled down a few mouthfuls of rice. His face was no longer as cold as before; instead, it was flushed red (whether from anger or from Lu Yuanqing rubbing it, it was hard to tell), making him look much more lively.
Seeing Lu Yuanqing help his younger brother and sister-in-law get a small bowl of rice and gently tell them to eat properly, Lu Mingdong's eyes blurred for a moment, and then he subconsciously said, "Third Uncle, this suggestion was actually your idea, wasn't it!"
