Chapter 246 Village Radio Station
Chapter 246 Village Radio Station
Lu Yuanqiu raised his arms, admired them and said with a smile: "What strong arms! I love to hold little girls' throats."
Lu Yidong quietly walked around Bai Qingxia and moved away from him.
"Then follow me!"
The little girl spoke in the most ferocious tone and in a cowardly manner.
Bai Qingxia was smiling, and suddenly she heard her father muttering the word "banana" again. Her smile froze and she stared at him.
Bai Songzhe behaved almost identically to Lu Yidong and hid beside Lu Yuanqiu.
Lu Yuanqiu consoled them, “Yes, yes, yes. When the cars behind them come over, they will bring bananas.”
Bai Qingxia frowned: "Don't spoil him. If you do, he will become more and more unbridled, and in the end he won't even listen to what you say."
Lu Yuanqiu hushed a few times and whispered, "Uncle has been tired for so long and just wants to eat a banana. This is not an excessive request."
"But if you eat too much you will have diarrhea, and the dry toilets in the village are too smelly." Lu Yido muttered softly.
"Can you please stop saying these things that ruin the mood when we're talking about food?" Lu Yuanqiu retorted.
Bai Qingxia whispered back, "When you called me to eat that day, you said... that thing is almost dried up."
Lu Yuanqiu: “…”
He changed the subject and pointed his finger forward: "Go into the village quietly, and don't shoot!"
It's not even eight o'clock yet, but it's New Year's Eve after all, so there are still quite a few people who got up early and are busy doing something outside the house. Most of them are middle-aged and elderly women, but it is this group that likes to stare at young people the most.
Lu Yuanqiu and his three companions were walking on the main road into the village. As expected, they just passed a house and saw a middle-aged woman in an apron going out to pour water. After pouring the water, she stood at the door with a basin in her hand, staring at Lu Yuanqiu and his three companions with curiosity in her eyes.
Bai Qingxia felt a little embarrassed being stared at, and silently turned her head towards Lu Yuanqiu.
"Huh? Whose house is this?"
This middle-aged woman even openly "loudly" muttered to herself.
Lu Yuanqiu ignored him, and Lu Yidong shook his head and responded: "We are Chinese."
The woman at the door was amused and walked towards the door with the basin in her hand, but she glanced at Bai Qingxia curiously.
Lu Yuanqiu teased her and said, "Let me tell you, the New Year is the time when matchmaking is most prevalent in the village. Do you know why she keeps staring at you?"
Bai Qingxia shook her head: "Why?"
Lu Yuanqiu: "Because she can tell at a glance that you are about to get married, unlike Lu Yidong who looks like a little brat."
Bai Qingxia was puzzled: "But I'm only 17 years old."
Lu Yuanqiu smiled: "So what? In rural areas, it's common for people to get married at the age of 20 or , and families with girls are very popular. Without the girl knowing, she has been secretly matched with more than a dozen boys by those middle-aged women."
Bai Qingxia listened in surprise.
Although her life in the past was poor and hard, she was a city dweller after all and had no idea about the messy things in the countryside.
Hearing his brother's words, Lu Yidong asked happily, "Is our family also popular?"
She pointed at herself, because she was also a girl, and her brother said that families with girls are very popular in rural areas.
Lu Yuanqiu glanced at her and said deliberately: "Our family makes stinky tofu."
"Ah? I'll beat you to death! I don't believe it. I'm also popular!"
Lu Yidong protested in dissatisfaction.
The brother and sister were walking towards their grandmother's house, playing and laughing. Suddenly, Lu Yuanqiu reached out and stopped the four of them.
"Oh no, this is dangerous..."
"What's wrong?" Lu Yuanqiu looked ahead and found two rows of people sitting on both sides of the road, all of them were middle-aged and older people.
They were wearing bulky cotton clothes, talking and laughing, with crutches and other things placed beside them.
The time now is probably the time for people to go out for a walk and chat after breakfast, but I didn’t expect to run into him by chance.
Lu Yuanqiu laughed to death: "How are the three uncles going to get into the village later? They won't dig a tunnel to get in, will they?"
After hearing this, Lu Yidong laughed loudly, “Hahahaha”, and then his brother hit him on the head: “Keep your voice down.”
"Forget it, just walk normally. Let people talk about it." Lu Yuanqiu waved his hand and said indifferently.
Bai Qingxia glanced ahead, then turned around, picked up her father's down jacket hood and put it on him, then stood silently beside Lu Yuanqiu. Although they were a group of old people with harmless looks, she didn't like being stared at any time, and this was unchanging.
Lu Yuanqiu cleared his throat and walked forward with his head held high.
Several people slowly approached, and the noise soon attracted the old people at the "radio station". They stopped chatting and laughing, and looked over one after another.
"Huh? Whose is this?"
"never seen it."
……
Occasionally a few old men muttered a few words, and then most of them focused their attention on Bai Qingxia. Just as Lu Yuanqiu had just said, girls of age waiting to get married would receive 200 percent of their attention from these old men.
In the village, families whose boys have not yet married will only be discussed, but families whose girls have not yet married are completely popular.
Rural elderly people regard their children’s marriage as a task, and those who complete the task can laugh at the families who fail to complete the task.
However, a few old people recognized Lu Yuanqiu, and they began to gather information: "Are they the two from the old Lu family?"
Some elderly people even stood up and greeted them: "Hey, are you all back home?"
Lu Yuanqiu waved his hands repeatedly and lied, "No, no, no, my uncles were too busy, so I just came back to our house."
"Ah... okay. Hey, who is this girl? She's so pretty. Did you meet her outside?" The old man who had just asked the question looked at Bai Qingxia again and spoke with a smile.
Bai Qingxia buried her head low beside Lu Yuanqiu, but she underestimated the 360-degree "camera" of these "loudspeakers".
Lu Yuanqiu turned his head. He didn't even know who the old man was, but the old man knew who he was. The boy didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm in high school..."
"Huh? You just... you're so old, but you're still in school."
"Yes."
"Study hard, and when you graduate, your uncles will arrange things for you, and you won't have to worry about anything in the future."
Although Lu Tian's family was not very well-known in the village, when they heard that this was the grandson of the Lu family, most of the elders stood up and agreed with a smile, as if they wanted to make themselves familiar to Lu Yuanqiu.
Lu Yuanqiu responded casually, then quickly led the three of them towards the village.
As they left, the village radio station began to engage in heated discussions.
"Lu Lao Da, Lao Er, and Lao San didn't come back this time, and only Lao Si came back."
"Maybe he came back secretly a few days ago."
"It's not right. My family didn't even build a house. I just don't want to come back. I watched them grow up. Now that they are successful, they don't want to do good things for the village."
"I just took a look at that girl. She's really pretty, like a celebrity. You can tell she's from the city."
"Who is the one wearing the hat? Is it her master?"
"who knows……"
