Chapter 119 Account
After receiving the letter of introduction and proof from Zhao Zhongcai, Lu Yuanqing hurriedly went home, carrying a bag to Lu Guobin's house.
Upon hearing the purpose of their visit, Lu Guobin and Zhang Panlan were just as stunned as Zhao Zhongcai.
"What?"
“Yuanqing! You’re taking Yuanbo and the others to Jiang’an City, which is so far away! The round-trip fare will be quite high! Why waste that money?” Zhang Panlan couldn’t understand it at all.
She had never even been to the county town, so she couldn't understand Lu Yuanqing's words about taking Lu Yuanbo and the others to broaden their horizons.
I just think he was wasting money and being too generous!
Hmm... and a bit of an idiot! He has some money but doesn't know how to save it properly, and doesn't think about his future marriage at all?
Although Lu Guobin did not speak, his eyes were fixed on Lu Yuanqing, and his expression conveyed the same meaning as Zhang Panlan's.
Lu Yuanqing patiently smiled and replied, "Auntie, this time the brigade leader asked me to go to Jiang'an City. Besides buying a batch of piglets, he also wanted me to buy a few sows. In the future, our village can solve the problem of piglets on its own and won't have to spend a lot of money to buy them!"
"Hey, the brigade leader is planning to buy sows? Does that mean our village can sell piglets in the future?" Zhang Panlan's eyes lit up when she heard this.
The success of pig farming in Shihua Village has inevitably aroused the envy of several nearby production brigades, who are all clamoring to learn from them.
However, the number of piglets provided by the commune each day was limited.
When asked to follow Lu Yuanqing's example and purchase goods in Jiang'an City, they hesitated to act, displaying an attitude of being afraid of both the dangers ahead and the risks behind!
Zhang Panlan's family home was in the next production brigade.
Given Lu Guobin's filial piety, he would definitely have Zhang Panlan buy some meat and take some back to show filial piety to her parents.
Lu Guobin's parents died early, and he always treated Zhang Panlan's parents as his own parents. He was really good to her family!
When Zhang Panlan sent meat back to her parents' home, her family naturally started talking about pig farming in Shihua Village.
So Zhang Panlan wondered if Shihua Village would consider selling the extra piglets if they started raising sows in the future!
Lu Yuanqing didn't need to guess to know the meaning behind her question; after all, she wasn't the first person to want to know the answer.
However, "Auntie, even in Jiang'an City, sows are hard to buy. I don't know how many I can buy this time."
"The team leader wants us to not need to buy from others in the future, so the demand for sows will naturally be huge!"
"With more sows, there will naturally be more piglets, but piglets will definitely be prioritized for our own village. For at least the next two or three years, piglets will be in short supply!"
You see, this great success in making money from pig farming has greatly boosted Zhao Zhongcai's confidence. So this time, he sent Lu Yuanqing to Jiang'an City with all the money in the village's account, telling him to buy as many piglets as possible, the more the better!
If he could buy more, Zhao Zhongcai wanted to expand his pig farm with his men!
“Well, that makes sense!” Zhang Panlan was not disappointed.
Her family naturally wanted her to live well, but the piglets were hard-won and a big deal for the village. She had no intention of making things difficult for Lu Yuanqing. Now Lu Yuanqing was acting on behalf of their production team, and it wouldn't be worth it if she harmed him.
Besides, even if her family didn't raise pigs, she still had her!
Lu Guobin listened quietly to their conversation, watching it drift further and further away. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he said, "I heard that Xiao Nan will be starting school in the second half of the year? You're raising so many children in school all by yourself; you should still be frugal!"
Zhang Panlan was immediately pulled back: "That's right! Yuanqing, you're on a mission, don't waste money, what's the point of seeing the world! You'll be stuck in the fields your whole life, what's the point of seeing anything!"
Having spent so much time with the two of them, Lu Yuanqing knew that they simply cared about them and had no ill intentions.
However, due to differing opinions, they sometimes simply cannot reach a consensus.
Lu Yuanqing had gotten used to going along with them and not arguing about right or wrong!
Anyway, he's always been a rebellious person. He may be polite and respectful on the surface, but very few people can change his mind.
Lu Guobin and his wife are not bad people; in fact, they are kind to them.
Naturally, Lu Yuanqing's attitude improved even further: "Uncle, Aunt, I understand what you mean, but..."
"But my third uncle... I think he still wants to take Yuanbo and the others to meet him and see the place, so they won't forget it later. He's still our third uncle, so..."
Lu Yuanqing's hesitation saddened Lu Guobin and Zhang Panlan.
Every time I hear about Lu Laosan's story, I feel a pang of sadness.
"You want to take Yuanbo and the others to see where the third brother lives...?" Lu Guobin asked.
Or you could say that you should remember where you are buried so that you can visit the grave later.
Lu Yuanqing nodded.
Actually, that's not the main reason!
But who cares! Lu Guobin and Zhang Panlan thought that was it!
Now Lu Guobin and Zhang Panlan were at a loss for words.
We can't just prevent their descendants from seeing it, can we?
In that case, it's something we absolutely need to consider!
“Hey, if you want to take them, go ahead! I’ll look after the house for you! I’ll sleep at your place tonight, and Xiao Bei and Xiao Zhong can stay and eat at my place during the day, so you don’t have to worry about the house,” Lu Guobin said.
Lu Yuanqing was delighted, "Thank you, Uncle, and thank you for your trouble, Aunt!"
……
With no worries about the future, Lu Yuanqing took his whole family to catch the train the very next day!
It was Cheng He who delivered it to them.
A large crowd makes it lively!
After buying the ticket, Lu Yuanqing's ears were constantly busy while waiting for the train.
"I'm hungry!" Lu Mingdong said casually.
He took all his money with him when he went out.
Although there are many people in his family, they all compete with him for housework and money.
But there's just too much housework to handle!
Over the course of several months, everyone had saved up a considerable amount of money; even Lu Mingnan had managed to scrape together two or three yuan!
Lu Yuanqing grabbed Lu Mingdong, who was about to go buy food, and said, "Do you remember what I told you last night?"
The noisy group immediately quieted down.
Lu Mingdong was stunned for a moment, then decisively admitted his mistake: "Third Uncle, I was wrong. You said last night that after going out, no one is allowed to go alone. Wherever you go, you must go with at least two people. And Xiaoxi and Aunt must ask you or Fourth Uncle to go with them!"
Lu Yuanqing nodded in satisfaction, and was just about to say, "You and Lao Si go ahead!" when he met several pairs of bewildered eyes!
Lu Yuanbo blinked: Did you say that?
Lu Yuanhuan: Did she miss something?
Lu Mingxi: Oh no, I shouldn't have been so excited last night and tried to do two things at once. I didn't listen to what my third uncle was saying. I don't know what to do if he asks me anything!
"Uncle, I'm hungry!"
The baby's voice in his arms interrupted Lu Yuanqing. He sighed helplessly, having no further interest in Lu Mingdong.
