Chapter 11 Who is that woman?

Chapter 11 Who is that woman?

The production team gathered early at noon for afternoon work, as it seemed something urgent was going on.

As soon as the village secretary Su Wangxing put down his job, he took his people to Qingchuan Reservoir.

On the other side, the team of educated youth was also gathering.

"Report to the captain, I counted and one person is missing." The on-duty educated youth group leader reported to the captain of the educated youth team, Li Guobiao.

"Who is missing?"

"Lu Xingchen!"

When Su Qing saw Li Guobiao’s angry look, she felt that Lu Xingchen was going to get into trouble.

The team was about to set off, and she couldn't help but worry about Lu Xingchen.

Only then did Su Qing feel that something was wrong.

I heard from Li Guobiao before that the educated youth team wanted to expel Lu Xingchen. This can’t be true.

Today we are rushing to harvest, but this guy is nowhere to be seen.

He goes out early and comes back late every day. What is he doing?

Also, today he suddenly brought people back to the village from the county.

There are too many questions, and no one can answer them at once.

Soon all the young and strong labor force of the production team arrived at Qingchuan Reservoir.

The situation today is completely different from the past.

In addition to the people from Hongxing Village, teams kept pouring into Qingchuan Reservoir from all directions.

Isn’t that the uncle who accidentally hit someone while driving a ox cart last time?

Last time he said he was from Guangming Brigade of Qianjin Commune.

Could it be that all the people in Niuling Town have arrived?

"I just heard from the captain that all the people from Jinggu County are here today."

"The typhoon is coming soon, and the work must be completed today."

……

The scene was very noisy.

Soon, thousands of people gathered in front of the open space on the Qingchuan Reservoir Dam.

People were carrying various tools in their hands and on their shoulders.

Su Qing saw from afar that in front of the tent where she and Lu Xingchen were alone last time, there was a group of people surrounding a middle-aged man wearing glasses, wondering what they were discussing.

Su Qing also discovered that there were two familiar figures standing next to the middle-aged man with glasses.

It’s Lu Xingchen and Teacher Di.

Hey, who is that woman? She was standing between the man with glasses and Lu Xingchen, and she would turn her head from time to time to whisper to Lu Xingchen.

It seemed like they were very intimate, and Su Qing was jealous.

"Hey, what happened to Teacher Di? She seemed to have fallen down suddenly, and a stretcher was carried her away."

Seeing this, Su Qing wanted to go over, but there were too many people at the scene, and it would be difficult for Su Qing to squeeze through.

"Su Qing from Xiangyang Brigade of Hongxing Village, please come to the front of the tent!" Suddenly the on-site broadcast sounded.

After hearing the roll call, Li Guobiao held up the red flag of Xiangyang Brigade as if he had won a prize.

The people around all turned their eyes to the Red Star Village formation.

In an instant, a passage was opened on both sides, which was only wide enough for one person to walk through.

Li Guobiao, holding the red flag of the brigade, led the way and brought Su Qing to the middle-aged man with glasses.

"Are you Su Qing from Xiangyang Brigade?" After Su Qing nodded in response, "Comrade Su Qing, hello, Professor Di's old injury recurred just now, and she said you know the problem with the reservoir design drawing, right?"

That's what it was for.

Su Qing took out the design drawing. Di Jie had already made marks and explanations on the drawing. According to what Teacher Di had just said, Su Qing held the microphone in one hand and repeated what she had said.

"Well, that was well said. Did everyone understand?" After receiving unanimous responses from the surrounding village secretaries and production team leaders, Secretary Sun took the microphone and walked to the embankment.

"Comrades, please be quiet for a moment. I am Sun Hao, the county magistrate of Jinggu County. Our mission is to mobilize the whole county to complete the closure of the dam before midnight tonight. I have just assigned the task to the production teams of each commune. Do you have confidence?"

As soon as Secretary Sun finished speaking, there was a thunderous response from the audience: “Yes! Yes! Yes…”

At this time, the village secretary Wang Xingshu and team leader Su Guozhong also returned to the village formation.

Thousands of people carried out their work in an orderly manner under the leadership of various production teams.

In this era that advocates the collective spirit of strength in numbers and the power of unity.

The society was in a state of disrepair, and the kind, simple and very united people really accomplished many ordinary yet earth-shaking feats in this historical period.

According to Su Qing's understanding in her previous life, during this period, the number of reservoirs, roads, and schools built throughout China was truly countless.

In this era, there were no large machines such as excavators and bulldozers, and everything had to be done bit by bit by manpower.

Such a feat shocked Su Qing in both her lifetimes.

Especially today, she participated in it personally, her blood was boiling, and she seemed to have endless energy all over her body.

And a miracle really happened.

Su Qing was particularly excited. So many people completed the task according to the blueprint outline she had just repeated. A heavy sense of honor arose in her heart.

On the way back, the villagers Su Qing met all gave her a thumbs up of approval.

"You are amazing. I didn't expect you to be able to repair a reservoir and direct everything so well. You are amazing!"

"The Qingchuan Reservoir should have your name engraved on it. Your contribution is greater than anyone else's. Awesome!"

"The county magistrate praised you. You are the pride of our Red Star Village!"

……

The villagers were full of praise for Su Qing.

After a night of desperate fighting, Su Qing returned to her residence exhausted, feeling satisfied and proud.

She really wanted to fall on the bed and sleep.

Seeing this, Lu Xingchen behind her immediately pulled her back and said, "No, you're covered in mud."

By the time Lu Xingchen finished boiling water with firewood, Su Qing had already fallen asleep on the table.

Lu Xingchen didn't wake her up. Instead, he took out the coat he had just changed and put it on her.

She opened the drawer to take out a book to read and found the stack of passbook, cash and bills she had given her before there.

Su Qing has been busy these two days, and her plan to get rich has not yet been implemented.

Because she didn't tell him how to use the money specifically.

But we can’t just leave it here like that. What if there’s a thief at home?

Just when Lu Xingchen was trying to keep this stack of valuables safely, he might have made a noise and Su Xing was woken up.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Lu Xingchen's sneaky look, Su Qing suddenly woke up, "Are you regretting it and want to take back all your wealth?"

Lu Xingchen felt a little embarrassed, like a thief who was caught. He scratched his head and said, "No, you misunderstood. I wanted to put it in the secret compartment of the closet."

Seeing Su Qing's contemptuous look, he put it back in its place and said, "Since these things are given to you, you can deal with them at will. But it's really not safe to leave them here."

Su Qing saw her silly look. He, who was originally serious, now became a little naughty and cute.

Thinking about how I, a 68-year-old old woman, had used every possible means to defraud a 20-something young man of all his property, and had forced him to such a point where it was difficult to explain.

Su Qing, you went too far. How could you bear it?

She even felt embarrassed about it.

"You'd better put it in the secret compartment. I won't use this money in two days." After getting permission, Lu Xingchen put the things away neatly and quickly as if it was a conditioned reflex.

"By the way, what was the name of the girl standing next to you at Qingchuan Reservoir just now? What does she do?" Su Qing said casually while taking off the clothes she was draped over her body.

"Ah, her name is Ru Mengyun, and she is Secretary Sun Hao's secretary." Lu Xingchen replied.

"Are you two very familiar with each other? Why did you suddenly bring people back to the village from the county? I haven't heard you say anything about it." This was the biggest doubt in Su Qing's mind at the moment.

"I was temporarily transferred to work in the county and will be back after a while." Lu Xingchen answered without thinking.

"Ah, a transfer, temporary, are you two really just colleagues?" The scene of the two of them whispering intimately appeared in Su Qing's mind again.

"Oh, he's just a colleague, don't think too much. I've boiled the water, go take a shower." Su Qing wanted to ask him a few more questions, but he dragged her into the bathroom.

Am I overthinking?

Who am I to him?

What does it matter to me who he is with?

Oh, what's wrong with me?

Silent all night.

The next day, Lu Xingchen disappeared again early in the morning.

He still went out on time and folded the quilt he had slept on into a tofu block.

He is too self-disciplined!

Or should I go meet my lover as soon as possible?

If I had known he was so unfaithful, I would not have entered into a fake marriage with him.

Su Qing's hatred for philandering men has always been like this.

Li Guobiao was a playboy. In her previous life, Su Qing finally found him and took revenge on him.

But the hatred in this life cannot let him go so easily.
