Seeing the most familiar big locust tree, Mr. Lu's eyes were vaguely red. His mouth was buzzing, and finally he cried and laughed: "I never thought that I would come back one day."
When he was captured, he thought he was going to die. After being sent to the farm, he thought he would stay there for the rest of his life, but he never expected that he could come back.
Mr. Lu sighed with emotion, making both Lu Qinghe and Yang Sisi wet their eyes.
Yes, they never thought that they would come back one day.
"Back! Mr. Lu is back!"
Under the big locust tree, many people were chatting here, but all day long, everyone only talked about Lu Jing going to the farm to pick up people.
Mr. Lu's contribution to the Qingshui Brigade was not insignificant. They all kept this kindness in their hearts. Except for the conscientious families headed by the Tian family, no one would wish anything bad for the Lu family.
So after seeing the familiar and unfamiliar faces on the tractor, everyone became excited.
"It's really Mr. Lu! He's really back!"
"That's the Lu family's big room! Oops! They've aged a lot after not seeing each other for so many years!"
Although it only lasted more than three years, Mr. Lu and the others had a lot of vicissitudes of life on their faces, and it was clear from a glance that they had suffered a lot on the farm.
"The Lu family has finally come to an end after all their hardships." One person sighed with emotion, "Reunion as a family is more important than anything else."
Before the house was confiscated, the second wife of the Lu family and Mrs. Lu were no longer here. Now it is correct to say that they are reunited as a family.
However, a few people thought about the wealth of the Lu family before it was confiscated, and murmured a few words: "Where is the joy of hardship? It's just a little better than before. So much money and treasures have been confiscated, and I haven't heard of it. return."
"You are the only one who talks a lot!"
The speaker muttered a few words, then was hit hard on the head by the elder next to him, and finally muttered and dared not speak again.
Captain Zhou heard the news and immediately ran out with his people to greet Mr. Lu.
"Old man..." Captain Zhou saw Mr. Lu and wanted to say something, but in the end he just said, "It's good to be back! It's good to be back!"
"Yes!" Mr. Lu smiled. He was helped off the tractor, and his smile never broke. "Xiao Zhou, it seems that you have done a good job these years!"
"There are still no changes in our Qingshui Brigade." He said while looking at this familiar place.
When Captain Zhou heard this, he almost burst into tears.
"Thanks to you, otherwise our brigade would not be where we are today?" Captain Zhou choked with sobs. "If you hadn't donated the food at that time, our brigade would have been like several nearby brigade, running away to death."
The reason why the Qingshui Brigade has such cohesiveness is that they have grown up here from beginning to end.
"Old man! How are you feeling?"
"Your Lu Jing has a good wife!"
When everyone saw Mr. Lu talking to Captain Zhou, everyone let go and started talking one after another.
When Mr. Lu heard the praise of Xia Yao, he nodded without any hesitation: "That's right! I didn't expect Xiao Jing to have such good luck!"
Although neither Lu Jing nor Xia Yao said anything, Mr. Lu is such an old man and has a lot of knowledge. Of course he understands that his ability to leave the farm has a lot to do with Xia Yao. Otherwise, why couldn't Lu Jing find the key evidence before? ?
He nodded hard and praised Xia Yao.
Captain Zhou not only did not stop him, but also started to praise him: "You don't know how much Xiao Xia, an educated youth, has contributed to our brigade! She single-handedly contributed to the chicken farm in our brigade! Now every household in the brigade has I can earn more than 100 yuan more!"
"This is good!" Mr. Lu slapped his thigh and looked at Xia Yao in surprise.
He just glanced at it, and Xia Yao hurriedly hid behind Lu Jing, and his stupid grandson stupidly stood in front of Xia Yao, as if he was some kind of savage beast.
Mr. Lu puffed his beard and glared, but didn't say much in front of outsiders.
Captain Zhou sent the old man home all the way, and said: "Now that you have been rehabilitated, the things that were confiscated at that time should also be returned to you, but the things that the Lin family and the Tian family hid... can't be recovered, and It was such a chaotic day that very little was recorded.”
Speaking of this, Captain Zhou looked heartbroken.
That’s all money!
After hearing this, Mr. Lu waved his hand: "These are all external possessions. If you can't find them, you won't get them back. If you can get them back, tell me. I'll donate them all to the army."
Even if Captain Zhou guessed what Mr. Lu said, he still looked surprised, let alone others.
The villagers all widened their eyes: "No? How about tens of thousands of dollars?"
Tens of thousands of dollars! They will never earn it in their lifetime!
Mr. Lu was very cool: "What happened back then was caused by these things. I don't dare to take them anymore."
That being said, that's true.
After everyone thought about it, they accepted it.
Xia Yao, who had been standing behind Lu Jing, took a deep breath when he heard Mr. Lu's cool words.
Then, she clutched her chest in pain.
So much money...
If it were her, she would definitely be reluctant to donate it.
At this time, her hand was gently held.
Xia Yao looked up in surprise and saw Lu Jing's gentle eyes.
Today's Lu Jing is particularly different.
"Don't worry." Lu Jing squeezed her hand, with an imperceptible twist in his voice, "If you give us the money, we can all earn it back."
Xia Yao's beautiful eyes blinked, and then the roots of her ears turned red.
Lu Jing...he he he...
He won't be...
When this guess came to his lips, Xia Yao didn't dare to continue guessing.
She immediately withdrew her hand, and then held Lu Wan and Lu Tiantian's hands firmly, never letting Lu Jing take advantage of them again.
Mr. Lu was watching the dispute between the two of them out of the corner of his eye. When he saw Xia Yao's little face wrinkled in distress, he snorted in his heart. He made so much money back then, no matter how much he donated, he would still be able to do it. Leave a little for your descendants.
But after seeing Xia Yao's hand being withdrawn and Lu Jing's disappointed look, he couldn't help but complain that this boy was going to be fine. If this continued, when would he be able to hold his great-grandson?
Captain Zhou was still talking: "The old house..."
When he said this, he was still a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "We used the previous house as an office. It may take a few days to completely vacate it."
"No need." Mr. Lu waved his hand slowly, "Then all will be donated to the brigade, and I will consider it as my contribution to the brigade."
"That's not possible!" Captain Zhou became anxious, "That's the ancestral home!"
"Ouch!" Mr. Lu patted his shoulder angrily, "Wherever I am, that's my ancestral home! Besides, our family of eight can't even live in such a big courtyard."
"But now you can't even fit in the small courtyard where Lu Jing lives." Captain Zhou said with a sad face, "How can this be possible?"
"It's good that our family can be reunited." Mr. Lu obviously didn't think so, "It's okay to squeeze in a little bit."
At this time, Aunt Guihua suddenly said: "Didn't the Lu family have a house before? It's at the east end of the village. That house has eight or nine rooms."
"If the old man feels that the old house is too eye-catching, why not go to that house? Some people thought of using it as an educated youth spot before, but the captain and I rejected it."
This person is, of course, Tian Dashan.
However, Aunt Guihua and Captain Zhou agreed that the brigade had free houses for educated youths, and there was really no need to use the Lu family's house. They also thought of returning the house to Lu Jing after the situation was less tense!
After that, the matter was settled, but they did not dare to let Lu Jing live in it, so they could only leave it abandoned for three years.
"But it hasn't been lived in for three years, so I'm afraid it needs some renovations."
Aunt Guihua's words made Mr. Lu very satisfied: "Then this is the house. I will let Lu Jing and Qinghe take care of it when the time comes."
Xia Yao was keenly aware that Mr. Lu's eyes changed when he mentioned this house.
She secretly thought in her heart, could there be any secrets hidden in this house?
In a blink of an eye, everyone was at the door of Lu's house.
Looking at the dilapidated door, Captain Zhou felt a little guilty: "In these years, I haven't..."
"You have done a good enough job." Mr. Lu gently patted Captain Zhou on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "If it weren't for your care, how could our family be reunited?"
When the Lu family was confiscated, Lu Jing had not yet been discharged from the army. If Captain Zhou hadn't taken care of Lu Tiantian and Lu Changbai, how could they go to the farm with peace of mind?
Captain Zhou's eyes sparkled with tears after listening to Mr. Lu's words.
"Thank you for your help over the years." Mr. Lu clasped his fists at everyone, "After we clean up, we must treat everyone to a meal!"
"But our family's conditions..."
"You don't need to pay for it, old man!" a young man in the crowd shouted, "This is a happy event for our team! Of course we all did it together!"
Everyone was smiling, and they were all sincerely happy for the Lu family.
Mr. Lu's eyes were a little moist after listening to everyone's words.
"Thank you very much!"
"Old man, what are you talking about? If we really count, you are still the benefactor of our entire village!"
"That's right! Don't be polite!"
The door of Lu's house was bustling, as if it was the Chinese New Year.
Xia Qingqing stood aside, looking at all this with complicated eyes.
Unexpectedly, the Lu family could come back from the farm, she thought to herself, but her eyes always fell on Xia Yao.
The bright smile on Xia Yao's face hurt her eyes deeply. It shouldn't be like this!
When she originally designed Xia Yao to go to the countryside, she wanted to make Xia Yao suffer a lot. No one knew the pain in the countryside better than her.
But seeing Xia Yao's expression, she felt a little dazed again.
She could only hug Xu Chenghai's arm tightly.
In any case, Xu Chenghai is the best opportunity she can seize.
