"Mom, who were you talking to just now?" Zhu Dongming looked at the man's back, "I think I saw that man going to Wen Nuan's house?"
"You are the only one with bright eyes." Liu Xiu'e said with a smile, "It's Aunt Zhang from the next village, the matchmaker."
"You are not young, and you have two younger brothers. You must hurry up and get married." She said while busy picking cucumbers on the cucumber stand in the yard, "I asked her to help keep an eye on it."
"Not to mention, the seedlings given by Wen Nuan are really good," Liu Xiu'e said with a smile while looking at the cucumbers on the cucumber rack. "From previous years until now, there are not many cucumbers left on the rack."
As a result, I can still produce quite a few fruits now.
There are also tomatoes and pepper seedlings over there.
"Don't blame me," Liu Xiu'e raised her head and glanced at her son, "It's not that mom disagrees, and it's not like you didn't see the scene two days ago. If our family marries Wen Nuan back, it will cause trouble for our family."
"Your father is in poor health, and our family can't afford such a torment."
Zhu Dongming lowered his head and said nothing.
Liu Xiu'e sighed, "If you want to blame, blame me. It's all because I'm a useless mother."
"Mom," Zhu Dongming helped pick tomatoes and stopped to look at her, "I want to..."
"Cough cough cough..." Just as he was about to speak, there was a coughing sound in the room.
The two of them hurriedly dropped what they were doing and ran inside.
"His father, how are you?" Liu Xiu'e helped pour a glass of water for Zhu Honghai, fed him to drink it, and gave him some relief. After a long time, Zhu Honghai breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's all my fault." He grabbed Zhu Dongming's hand, "It's not easy for your mother to run this family."
He injured his lung due to a work-related injury in his early years and has been relying on medicine to support his health.
The doctor said that if he could get ginseng to make medicine, his disease might be cured, otherwise, he wouldn't have a few years to live.
But this ginseng is not as easy to find as radishes in the field.
"I know." Zhu Dongming lowered his head.
What was in my heart was still not spoken out.
"Brother," Zhu Dongming's younger brother looked at his uncomfortable look and said, "Marry Sister Wenwen, we still have me in our family."
Zhu Dongming rubbed his brother's head.
It was already difficult enough for the family to have two younger brothers who did not go to school in order to support his education.
"Brother knows." Zhu Dongming looked up at the sky, trying hard not to shed tears.
The younger brother looked up at his older brother. I don't know why, but he always felt that his older brother was lonely and pitiful. It wasn't until he thought about it when he grew up that he realized how sad his older brother felt at this moment.
…
At the base, Lu Jinchuan had just returned from training outside when he heard the phone in the office ring.
"Hello, this is Lu Jinchuan." He picked up the phone and heard his grandfather's voice in his ear, "Your uncle Gu's daughter is back. When will you come back to meet her."
"Grandpa," Lu Jinchuan pinched his eyebrows, "I've been very busy recently."
"You're so busy," Mr. Gu yelled angrily on the other end of the phone, "I'm telling you, if you don't bring me a wife back this year, I will go to your base tomorrow."
"Master..."
"You're very busy and have no time, aren't you? Okay, I'll ask someone to come over and meet you." Mr. Gu interrupted Lu Jinchuan and said.
"Grandpa," Lu Jinchuan said helplessly, "can you let me..."
"No," the old man interrupted him coldly, and after saying, "This matter is settled," he hung up the phone with a snap.
Lu Jinchuan hung up the phone and saw Xiao Yanan standing at the door looking at him jokingly.
"The old man's phone number?" She walked in, sat on a chair and looked at her cousin, "I want you to go on a blind date?"
Lu Jinchuan sighed tiredly.
"It's no wonder that grandpa is worried. The children in our compound who are about the same age as you are all good at it." Xiao Yanan said, and then asked him, "How did the warm matter be solved?"
"Someone deliberately caused damage." Lu Jinchuan said, "I checked and found that the beans were artificially molded."
"Who is so wicked?" Xiao Yanan cursed.
With so many beans, how much tofu can be made? Besides, Wen Nuan also said that not only can we make tofu, but also make tofu meat rolls?
They all sound delicious.
"It's the granddaughter of a garbage collector," Lu Jinchuan said. "His granddaughter and Wen Nuan came together to apply for temporary workers."
In the end, Nuan Nuan was admitted, but his granddaughter didn't even have a job, so that was it. Who knew Nuan Nuan could become a full-time employee!
That granddaughter was the girl who was chatting with Zhou Yani that day.
She was jealous, so she happened to be taking out the garbage with her that day. When she saw Wen Nuan leaving the warehouse, she quietly went in and covered the beans with the linen bag on the side.
The bag was dirty to begin with, and the beans that had been added with water were stuffed inside, and they soon became sour and moldy.
She then secretly removed the sack when no one was around.
Just because he was too impatient, Lu Jinchuan discovered that some beans were stuck to the sack.
Someone also saw her sneaking into the warehouse at that time.
The little girl did such a thing out of jealousy, but after being asked sternly by Lu Jinchuan's people, she explained everything clearly.
As for the deeper things, Lu Jinchuan did not tell Xiao Yanan.
For example, during the interrogation process, there was another young man who was instigated by Lu Guozhi and also wanted to sabotage, but he was a step later than the little girl.
"Let me tell you," Xiao Yanan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, "in order to prevent the old man from messing up, you might as well find someone quickly."
"Is it possible that you are still thinking about that girl from the Gu family who was engaged back then?" Xiao Yanan sighed and said, "If that girl hadn't been lost, she would be 20 years old now, right?"
At that time, Lu Jinchuan's father, Lu Yanhong, engaged him to the one-day-old daughter of his comrade Gu Nanshan.
Who would have known that the child would suffer from quilty syndrome and die in the hospital just a few days after birth.
This matter has always been a thorn in the side of the Gu family.
"I will be 21 soon." Lu Jinchuan said, shaking his head again, "It's not because of her, it's just that I haven't met the person I want to marry."
What's more, those girls in Kyoto are either afraid of him, or they are interested in the Lu family's identity.
Only in front of Xiao Yanan would Lu Jinchuan say these words.
"I think that girl Wen Nuan is pretty good," Xiao Yanan said with a smile, "She has a good personality and is very pretty. She cooks delicious food and she's not afraid of you."
"Instead of letting the old man arrange it for you, you might as well choose one yourself."
"I'm her uncle." Lu Jinchuan half-leaned on the table and said casually, "Almost 7 years older."
Do old cows eat young grass?
"What's the point?" Xiao Yanan shrugged, "He's not his biological uncle. Besides, if that girl from the Gu family is still alive, they should be about the same age."
Lu Jinchuan was stunned.
