Chapter 246 Lu Mingxi's Letter
Chapter 246 Lu Mingxi's Letter
The Gu family wedding was a very lively affair, and the food served at the banquet was so delicious that the villagers who attended couldn't stop talking about it.
They are very generous when it comes to food.
The Gu family's happy event has nothing to do with the Lu family.
Lu Yuanqing was not affected at all.
Although the villagers would occasionally chime in with something, he pretended not to hear it.
The excitement of the day was over, and the next day everyone returned to normal, going back to work or going to their jobs.
Lu Yuanqing still handles all the work that the village accountant needs to do, as well as the affairs of the pig farm.
His idea of training someone to take over so he could relax has not yet been fulfilled.
Because the amount involved in the bamboo ware factory was too large, he handed over all the financial matters to Gu Baoxia and Lu Mingdong.
The two were trained by Lu Yuanqing, and after the initial panic, they rarely had any problems with finances.
The Lu family's life settled down into a regular and peaceful routine.
Lu Yuanbo works every day, driving a tractor in the village, and he also gets delivery jobs from the bamboo ware factory.
Lu Mingnan continued to learn the craft from his master, and his progress was clearly visible.
The three younger children had already been sent to school by Lu Yuanqing. After observing them for a period of time and finding no other Lu Mingnan, Lu Yuanqing was no longer worried.
Lu Mingdong is the busiest person in the family.
He had already graduated from school and no longer needed to take the college entrance examination. He didn't want to rely on recommendations to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. He worked in the bamboo ware factory every day and secretly learned more about the knowledge that interested him from Xie Long and Ren Pingsheng.
Ren Pingsheng and Xie Long are both university teachers, and the knowledge in their minds is enough to keep them very busy every day.
Good news also came from Lu Yuanhuan's side; she was already six months pregnant. After receiving the news, Lu Yuanqing specially arranged a trip for the whole family to the city to check on the situation.
She lived a good life. Her in-laws were reasonable people, and Gu Yushan treated her well. She had no worries about her life. Even when she became pregnant, the baby in her belly loved her and didn't cause her much suffering.
Gu Yumei, the only person I didn't get along with, also got married last month.
The Gu family has now split up. The elders of the Gu family were fair; they left the eldest son at home to live out his retirement, while the other children divided the money equally among themselves.
Now Gu Yushan and Lu Yuanhuan live in Lu Yuanhuan's house, where they live a more carefree and unrestrained life.
Now that I'm closer to Lu Mingxi and Cheng Xia, we can look out for each other.
Everyone was living a peaceful life.
In comparison, Lu Yuanqing seemed to be the one who was most relaxed.
After all, Gu Yingqing, whom he had been wary of, also ended his leave to visit his family and returned to his unit after Gu Hewang got married.
Whatever his plans were, they weren't in the village; they were far away, and there were no obvious tricks he was using.
Lu Yuanqing has lived in the village for so many years. It's hard to say about other places, but in the village, anyone who wants to scheme against his family can easily handle it.
So, once Gu Yingqing left, he relaxed and became quite lethargic.
So when he received Lu Mingxi's letter and learned that Cheng Xia was going back to the village, he was momentarily dazed.
After watching for a while, he realized that Lu Mingxi meant Cheng Xia was going back to the village and had already resigned from the railway bureau, not that he was just going back to the village for a few days and then going back again, as he had thought.
Lu Yuanqing held the letter, unsure of what to say for a moment.
He had no right to say anything.
Is he going to say that working at the railway bureau is a coveted "iron rice bowl" job, and that he finally managed to leave the countryside through his own abilities, and now he's back? Is he out of his mind?
Cheng Xia wasn't stupid; she naturally knew what she had given up.
Moreover, this decision must have been made after careful consideration.
"Cheng Xia came back, probably for Cheng He's sake too!"
In the bamboo ware factory office, Gu Baoxia immediately understood Cheng Xia's plan after learning the news.
Lu Yuanqing put down the letter Lu Mingxi had written back, and forced a smile, but it wasn't a very genuine one.
“After all, he is her father. Uncle Cheng is not in good condition now, so it’s normal for her to want to come back!” Lu Mingdong put down his pen and said calmly.
Hearing his words, Lu Yuanqing glanced at him in surprise and said with a smile, "I thought you were going to say she's a complete idiot for giving up such a good job and coming back to the village!"
After all, with Lu Yuanqing's example, Lu Mingdong and the others had long since shared the same thoughts as him.
If a girl can leave the countryside and find a better future, she shouldn't easily come back.
When Lu Mingdong was admitted to high school, Lu Yuanqing was unaware that Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi had gone to study in the city, which made Lu Yuanqing happy.
At that time, Lu Mingdong heard Lu Yuanqing say with a smile: "It's good to study in the city! There is a wider world to see and experience more different things. Even if you get married, stay in the city. Don't marry back to the village and spend your whole life toiling in the fields."
At that time, Lu Mingdong knew that Lu Yuanqing had high expectations for his aunt and the others.
Now that Cheng Xia is giving up the wonderful life she has worked so hard to achieve and returning to the village, it is indeed the act of a complete fool.
Staying in the city means having an enviable job. When you reach a certain age, you can find someone with similar circumstances to start a family, and your children will have a starting point in the city.
But if I go back to the village now, I'll inevitably have to decide on starting a family in the countryside, and I'll be back to square one.
Therefore, Lu Yuanqing thought that Lu Mingdong would look down on Cheng Xia's behavior with disdain, and was somewhat surprised by his understanding.
Lu Mingdong's eyes flickered, he pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Cheng and Cheng Xia have depended on each other for so many years, and now they've become like this. She still cares about her own future and doesn't care about Uncle Cheng's words. I have to despise her."
When Cheng He was mentioned, all three of them looked rather grim.
Gu Baoxia lowered her eyes. "Brother Cheng is really unlucky. How could he run into something like this? Have those people been caught yet?"
The last question was directed at Lu Yuanqing.
Lu Yuanqing pursed his lips and said, "No, the police station's message is that Cheng He didn't see anyone either. The other party covered their faces. When they robbed them, they first created obstacles on the road. When Cheng He, who was driving, got out of the car to clear them, they rushed up, put a sack over their head, and beat them up."
"They only stole things from the truck at the very end!"
Gu Baoxia snorted coldly, "The person who was with the truck at the time was Li Daniu. He didn't even get out of the truck to help. Not only did they steal our goods, but they almost stole our truck as well. He's really useless. As soon as he saw someone holding a big stick, he didn't dare to say a word. In the end, if it weren't for Brother Cheng risking his life to stop them, our village's newly bought truck would probably have been destroyed."
