Although it is difficult to dig a hole, it is easy to bury it.
He Jinhua and Xie Jiangyu started burying it when they first came back, and it wasn't until about six o'clock in the evening that they filled up the hole completely. However, the traces of digging holes in the yard were still obvious.
Lu Qingqing and Mrs. Xie didn't bother to rest. While they were filling holes outside, they checked the house carefully. After confirming that nothing was missing, Lu Qingqing and Mrs. Xie tidied up the house.
, the house is full of dust after not being lived in for too long.
After cleaning up the house, Lu Qingqing told Mrs. Xie that he was going to the supply and marketing cooperative outside to buy some food for cooking.
Mrs. Xie also worriedly said to Lu Qingqing, "It's too late now. I'm afraid you won't have anything good to eat even if you go. How about we just deal with it tonight."
Lu Qingqing responded casually, and when he came out, he saw He Jinhua and Xie Jiangyu laughing happily.
Winter has already entered at this time, and there are fewer and fewer dishes. You may not be able to get any good dishes if you try to grab them early in the morning, let alone it is already evening.
Lu Qingqing had a clear view of He Jinhua and Xie Jiangyu's expressions. Not only did he not refute, but he even shouted with a smile as he walked past them: "Come on!"
Xie Jiangyu didn't want to work in the first place, but he became even more angry when he heard such a taunt. He raised his head and glared at Lu Qingqing fiercely.
Lu Qingqing had already walked over, but after being glared at, he turned back and reminded him "kindly": "You two are too slow. Let's do this. Xie Jiangyu, you can fill the hole here and let your mother
Go clean the yard so that you can go faster. After cleaning today, you won’t have to come tomorrow.”
He Jinhua thought for a while and it really made sense, "Then you fill in the holes here, and I'll go and clean up the garbage in the yard. Work hard, don't be lazy, you hear me!"
He Jinhua walked away as he spoke, leaving Xie Jiangyu alone looking at the half-filled pit and crying without tears.
She was tired of working behind He Jinhua's butt, but now the work falls on her when He Jinhua leaves, and she can no longer even be lazy!
When she turned back to glare at the culprit, Lu Qingqing, she realized that Lu Qingqing had already walked away.
It's just that Lu Qingqing didn't go to any supply and marketing cooperative at all. Instead, he went into the space and pulled out some cabbage, vermicelli and a small amount of meat, and they were all fresh.
Lu Qingqing was wandering around aimlessly, thinking about dressing up and going home.
"Qingqing!"
A voice full of surprise sounded behind Lu Qingqing. When she turned around, she saw a girl in a bright goose-yellow coat waving to her and smiling, and quickly ran towards Lu Qingqing.
The moment Lu Qingqing saw Song Yuying, he had a complicated mood. He smiled politely and said hello: "Sister Yuying, what a coincidence, you are also nearby?"
Song Yuying nodded vaguely, not embarrassed to say that she had been around this area countless times just to wait until the day when Lu Qingqing and the others returned to the capital.
After the two exchanged polite greetings, Song Yuying couldn't help but ask, "Um, your brother, did he come to Beijing with you?"
Lu Qingqing shook his head, "No, my brother is very busy at home. He probably won't come to Beijing for the time being."
Song Yuying was a little disappointed and lowered her head.
Before Lu Mingyu left, she wrote her address in a letter to Lu Mingyu, but after so long, she didn't even receive a letter.
Lu Qingqing couldn't bear to see Song Yuying like this, "How about... I'll give you my brother's address. He must have lost the letter you gave him. Write him a letter."
Can you try sending it over?"
Song Yuying's eyes were filled with hope again. She looked up at Lu Qingqing in surprise and asked cautiously: "I am definitely willing. The question is, is your brother still willing to accept the letter I wrote?"
Lu Qingqing didn't know how to answer this question.
In her opinion, Lu Mingyu should have a crush on Song Yuying, but he was able to control his feelings so well. He never mentioned her name outside, or even wrote her a letter.
She had no choice but to reply: "Well, all I can say is that you give it a try. After all, only he knows what my brother thinks."
Song Yuying nodded vigorously, "Okay, I have a pen here. Please write me his address. Just write it on my arm!"
What Song Yuying brought was a pen. Not to mention that water could not come out when writing on her arm, just the contact of the pen tip with the skin was already very painful.
Lu Qingqing couldn't bear it, so he took a piece of waste paper from the space and put it in his pocket and took it out, "I have paper here."
Lu Qingqing guessed that they had not moved to the county seat yet, so he wrote the address in the village, "Sister Yuying, my brother may move to the county seat soon. If you write to him, you should do it as soon as possible."
Song Yuying carefully put the paper with the address in her pocket, thanked Lu Qingqing again and again, and then returned home. Lu Qingqing also carried her dishes back to her old house.
As soon as Lu Qingqing entered the house, he heard the sound of shovels coming from the yard, mixed with He Jinhua's low curse: "Why don't you hurry up? I think you don't want to go home today, right? Let your dad know."
I must scold you to death!"
It was almost dark in the yard, and Xie Jiangyu waved the shovel in such a pitch-dark environment while cursing Lu Qingqing in his heart. He almost scared his soul away when he raised his head again, "Ahhhh——"
"What are you shouting for?" Lu Qingqing said dissatisfiedly, "I'm not a ghost. Look, I scared you."
Xie Jiangyu felt even more aggrieved, "Who made you stand in front of me without saying a word? It's so scary!"
As Xie Jiangyu said this, he did not forget to look at Lu Qingqing's hands, thinking of ridiculing her for leaving empty-handed. However, when he saw the bag in Lu Qingqing's hand, his eyes widened, "Where did you get this?"
So many dishes here?!”
Lu Qingqing shook the bag in his hand and smiled: "Of course I bought it outside."
"Impossible! At this time, the vegetables and meat have long been sold out, how can you still buy them?"
"Hmm -" Lu Qingqing pretended to think for a moment, "Maybe it's my character, right?"
Xie Jiangyu rolled his eyes in anger.
Lu Qingqing carried the dishes into the house, and after Mrs. Xie took a look at them, she was equally surprised and hurriedly helped Lu Qingqing with the dishes.
The grandfather and grandson were not in a hurry and made half a pot of pork stewed vermicelli. Lu Qingqing also secretly sprinkled some seasonings from the space into it. As soon as the pot steamed, a burst of fragrance came from it.
Xie Jiangyu became even more greedy as soon as he smelled the smell. He was so aggrieved that he burst into tears. In the end, he was scolded by He Jinhua who was hungry and tired.
After working for more than an hour, the hole was filled and the yard was tidied up. Xie Jiangyu encouraged He Jinhua to have a bowl of fragrant broth, "Mom, I'm starving to death. Hurry up.
ah."
He Jinhua went into the house with a shy old face and pretended to ask: "What kind of food is cooked in this pot? It smells so delicious. Our family hasn't eaten meat in a long time."
Lu Qingqing smiled, "Does it smell good? Just smell it for a while."
