UGB Chapter 355 You bumpkin, I hate you!
Chapter 355 You bumpkin, I hate you!
When Jiang Jianhai saw that the country bumpkin was so temperamental that he would beat him up as well, he didn't dare to say anything more.
He silently pulled up his old cotton-padded trousers, wincing in pain; his butt really hurt.
I watched Chunyan being beaten and screaming in pain just now, and I really didn't know what it felt like. Now I know.
Lu Yao turned to look at Chunyan.
Help her up:
"Sister Chunyan, if you don't want to live with him anymore, you can come to Jiapigou to find me anytime. I'll help you find some work, and it will be easy for you to support yourself."
Chunyan nodded with tears in her eyes.
Lu Yao still needs to escort Liang Chao, so there can be no delay.
He turned around and said something to his mother, then asked Xiaoqian to push the cart back with his mother, while he took Liang Chao directly from here to Shuiling Commune.
Seeing that Lu Yao had left, the whole family quickly came over, despite their grief:
Jiang Jianhai asked the girl, "Guizhi, is it true that the boy is really alright? Why would you lie to me if you're okay? Alright, we're still good relatives, come inside."
As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at the twenty-odd kilograms of rice on the back seat of Lu Xiaoqian's car.
With tears in her eyes, Jiang Guizhi gritted her teeth and shook her head:
"Forget it, brother. Let's just live our own lives from now on and try not to see each other unless necessary."
With that, he pulled Xiaoqian away.
Jiang Changshun quickly followed: "Auntie, is Tuwazi still the militia company commander? I saw he was still carrying a gun."
Neither Jiang Guizhi nor Lu Xiaoqian paid him any attention and pushed the cart away.
Jiang Jianhai pulled his son aside: "Don't ask, silly son. Didn't your aunt already say that the country bumpkin was testing us? We couldn't handle it, otherwise the rice in the back of the truck would have been ours! Sigh, it's my fault for not keeping my temper in check."
Jiang Changshun also regretted it.
You should ask questions and find out the facts before telling the truth.
He comforted Jiang Jianhai, saying, "Dad, it's alright. Chunyan can talk to Tuwazi. When Chunyan goes over to wish Auntie a Happy New Year, Tuwazi might be so happy that he'll give her another two jin of meat."
Jiang Jianhai nodded: "Alright, that's the only way. We can't let go of this capable relative. We'll be fine once Tuwazi calms down."
Looking back, Chunyan had already gone back to her room. She told Jiang Changshun:
"Go check on your wife, but don't hit her this time."
"Know."
Jiang Changshun hurried back; he needed to appease his wife and please Lu Yao.
Not only will they no longer be beaten, but they might even be able to gain some benefits from the Lu family.
……
Lu Yao led Liang Chao to Shuiling Commune via a shortcut.
Liang Chao got beaten up every time he spoke on the way, and Lu Yao didn't want to talk to him about anything.
I wanted to hand him over to Mei Ping.
If Mei Ping can interrogate him and get solid evidence as soon as possible, then Shi Shouyin can be arrested, and I won't have to worry about his retaliation.
It's just a bit of a pity that we can no longer utilize Shi Shouyin's resources.
Around noon, we arrived at Shuiling Town.
Lu Yao took him to the police station to borrow a sidecar motorcycle from Zuo Shouquan.
Otherwise, walking or cycling would be too slow.
As soon as I arrived at the police station, I saw Zuo Shouquan and a policeman come out and get on a motorcycle with a sidecar.
"Chief Zuo, where are you going?"
"I went to a meeting at the bureau, and Director Mei called."
"Oh, that's great. Then please take this kid with you for me."
The car can only seat three people, and Lu Yao didn't want to squeeze in with them.
As long as Liang Chao can be sent there, that's fine.
He explained Liang Chao's crimes to Zuo Shouquan and instructed him to personally hand him over to Director Mei.
Zuo Shouquan became extra cautious upon hearing that the case involved the murder of a police officer.
They quickly handcuffed Liang Chao's hands behind his back.
Let him sit in the sidecar and tie the laces of both his shoes together to prevent him from escaping.
Following Lu Yao's instructions, they covered his face with a scarf.
After watching Zuo Shouquan pull Liang Chao away, Lu Yao headed towards the militia company.
I want to go take a look, and then go home.
I've developed some affection for the militia company I spent there.
Upon entering the compound, I encountered Zheng Wenli carrying a backpack with Lei Feng's image printed on it, walking out.
He also had a large stack of books tucked under his arm.
She had just put the book in the bicycle basket when she saw Lu Yao. She immediately grabbed the handlebars with both hands and looked at him warily.
"I won't lend you my car!"
"I didn't say I wanted to borrow the car."
I won't lend it to you whether you tell me or not.
"ill."
Lu Yao glanced at him sideways and walked towards the backyard.
"Pah, shameless."
Zheng Wenli cursed.
Lu Yao returned, angrily grabbing his neck and shouting, "Who are you calling shameless?"
Zheng Wenli couldn't defeat Lu Yao, so naturally he didn't dare to suffer a loss.
"Who cares who I'm talking about? Did I mention your name or surname?"
"If you dare say that, I'll pull your pants down."
"I wasn't talking about you!"
Lu Yao flicked him on the forehead, let go of him, and left.
Zheng Wenli was so angry that he kept smacking his lips.
Seeing Lu Yao turn around, he quickly shut his mouth again and turned away.
He felt resentful, as if Lu Yao had cheated on him.
I pushed the car and headed home.
Only after leaving the courtyard did he dare to shout out loud: "You country bumpkin, I hate you!"
He's on his annual leave starting today.
There was no system of compensatory leave in this era; the only day off was Sunday, and Saturday was also a workday.
Urban workers only have a three-day holiday during the Spring Festival, and they have to go back to work on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Fortunately, we usually don't have to work overtime; we leave on time.
The situation was much more relaxed in the lower communes.
Unless there are special tasks, I can take leave until the Lantern Festival.
Zheng Wenli felt no joy at having a holiday; instead, he felt frustrated because he had completely lost Ding Mei.
This place feels like a place of sadness.
Seeing Lu Yao was like having a thorn stuck in my eye.
Lu Yao, however, did not dislike Zheng Wenli.
On the contrary, I felt a little sorry for him.
He loved wholeheartedly, yet could not have the one he loved.
But there was nothing I could do; I couldn't help him.
He failed to seize the opportunity when given it, and didn't catch up with Ding Mei.
Lu Yao arrived at the backyard, but no one was there.
When I entered the dormitory, there were only three female soldiers playing cards.
The male militia members were all organized to go out on patrol.
We must guard against malicious individuals causing sabotage before and after the New Year.
Therefore, the militia of each commune had to organize patrols.
Ditches, bridges, dams, and factories are all key protected objects.
Even during the Lunar New Year holiday, people have to take turns on duty.
However, the three girls were new recruits and young, so they stayed behind to work shifts at the commune, doing tidying up and answering phone calls.
Zuo Xiaoying, with her face covered in white paper strips, looked like Santa Claus.
Ernier stuck a few hairs on her forehead, making her look like the White-Browed Swordsman.
Only Liu Shuangyan didn't have a single slip of paper. She wasn't the best player either. When Lu Yao came in, he pulled out two 2s from under her bottom. This girl was hiding her cards.
Seeing Lu Yao come in, the Third Sister pulled him to play together.
The four of them were playing "Upgrade" or "Upgrade" together.
Chat while playing.
Liu Shuangyan asked, "Company Commander Lu, Lu Fa said you've offended the joint defense command, is that true?"
Lu Yao waved his hand: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he doesn't know anything."
Zuo Xiaoying suddenly asked, "Brother Wa, the day Shuangyan and I went to your house to look for you, whose foot was that in the pile of blankets? It wasn't Xiaoqian's!"
Liu Shuangyan had actually wanted to ask for a long time, but she was too embarrassed. Now that Zuo Xiaoying had asked, she stared wide-eyed, waiting for Lu Yao to give her an answer.
