A few days later, the new house was built.

After all, it was the first brick house in the village, so it naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Many people praised Lu Hai for his success when chatting with Luo Shulan in the fields.

Luo Shulan naturally couldn't stop smiling.

Especially after her son came back and told her that his wife was indeed pregnant.

This was double the joy, so for several days the smile on his face never stopped.

She would show off to everyone the new clothes and snacks her son brought her from the city.

Especially when he said that the clothes only cost two dollars a piece, the expression on his face was so proud.

This situation lasted for several days, and even Lu Guofu couldn't stand it anymore.

On the contrary, Lu Hai was busy sowing fish fry in his own aquaculture farm.

After all, this farm was built not long ago. The silt was laid, but the environment had not yet been developed, so they spread feed and nourished some plankton before starting to sow fish fry.

Otherwise, if the fish fry are scattered, there won't be enough food in the water for the loaches to eat for long, and it's certain that not many can be fed.

Therefore, the preliminary preparation took him several days.

Jiang Lanqing originally wanted to help him, but considering that his wife was pregnant, he naturally wouldn't let him do such rough work.

Naturally, Jiang Lanqing rolled his eyes when he heard this.

At that time, which woman didn't work?

Not to mention that my belly hasn’t even bulged yet.

At that time, many women were still working in the fields with big bellies.

Many people even felt they were about to give birth while working in the fields, and it is estimated that they gave birth directly in the fields.

Families with better conditions may be able to stew one or two chickens to supplement the pregnancy, and they can rest for two days after giving birth. For families with poor conditions, there is not much difference between pregnancy and normal life.

At most, the workload may be less than before, but it is impossible not to work.

Therefore, it was natural that people were dissatisfied when Lu Hai did not let Jiang Lanqing do the work.

Although Jiang Lanqing was also unwilling to just lie around and do nothing, he couldn't resist Lu Hai.

Besides, his family had enough food from the work points, so he simply followed Lu Hai's wishes and stayed at home wholeheartedly.

Anyway, according to what her husband said, she is not allowed to spend the money she earns, so why does she, a pregnant woman, need to go out and earn money to support the family right now?

Therefore, although Jiang Lanqing knew that some people would talk about her behind her back as the eldest lady, she just let them do as they pleased.

At this time, Jiang Lanqing was sitting not far away, watching Lu Hai busying around in the distance.

When Lu Hai had finished spreading the basket of fish fry in his hand and was about to come back to get another basket, Jiang Lanqing called out,

"Take a break first. We're not in a hurry. Aren't you tired of running back and forth?"

Lu Hai looked at the sky, and then saw that there were not many fish fry left, so he simply listened to his wife and sat down on the spot, not minding the dirt.

"Have a drink of water." Jiang Lanqing handed a bowl of water to Lu Hai.

Lu Hai didn't hesitate and gulped down a few mouthfuls of the sweet soup. Although he was sweating profusely just now, he felt much more comfortable after drinking these two mouthfuls of the sweet soup.

"I told Wenbo to help you, but you refused and insisted on doing it yourself. If you agreed to let Wenbo help you, the seedlings would have been sown yesterday." Jiang Lanqing said unhappily.

Obviously, seeing Lu Hai so tired, he felt a little distressed.

Lu Hai just laughed at this and didn't care. "It doesn't matter if we plant the seedlings a day later or a day later. We can catch up with the two months when the loaches grow the fastest. But Wen Bo can't delay."

"If we miss this time at night, we will have to wait for a long time, so it is better for him to go back and take care of the farm first."

"I can handle this by myself anyway."

"Yes, yes," Jiang Lanwen rolled his eyes, "Everything you said makes sense."

"That's right." Lu Hai replied with a smile.

Jiang Lanqing knew that if he continued talking about this kind of thing, he would not be able to win against Lu Hai.

During this period of time, she naturally knew how much Lu Hai had changed, it was like he had become a different person.

Originally, she had a higher level of education than him, but there were some things Lu Hai was saying that she couldn't even express to herself, so Jiang Lanqing gradually accepted her fate.

Then he changed the subject, "What do you think about our rescue of the old man?"

Lu Hai was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect that his wife would suddenly bring up this after a few days. "We can only do our best and leave it to fate. Didn't the doctor say it was just heatstroke? Just rest and you'll be fine."

"Of course I know about this, but what I'm thinking is that we saved a person, but we didn't leave his name. What should we do with the medical expenses we paid for?" Jiang Lanqing sighed.

"Are you feeling sorry for the money now? Who was it that went to pay the bill without a second thought?" Lu Hai teased.

"Oh!" Jiang Lanqing blushed when he heard that. "It was a matter of life and death, and the money was not much for us. But now that I think about it, it really hurts..."

Lu Hai found Jiang Lanqing's expression funny. "Well, it's useless to think about it now. I was in a hurry to get back and forgot to leave my contact information. But it doesn't matter. It's just a few dollars. I can ask for it back when I meet him again in the city."

Although Jiang Lanqing felt bad about the money, it seemed like this was the only option for now...

.......

.......

At the same time, Ping'an County State Guesthouse.

"Is there someone among my Lu Hai brothers?" Liu Guowei was a little surprised when he heard that someone from the city had followed the car from the state-owned guesthouse to find him.

"Do you know what the purpose of the investigation is?" Liu Guowei asked the person on the other end of the phone.

However, the words from the other end of the phone made him slightly stunned.

"Okay, since we don't know the other party's intention yet, let's keep it a secret for now. Don't leak the news out and just find an excuse to cover it up." Liu Guowei said after thinking for a while.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Guowei took a deep breath. He obviously didn't understand how his brother Lu Hai could have offended a big shot just by going to the city for a short time.

At the same time, in a compound somewhere in the city,

"Dad, we haven't found this person yet. The news came back that his identity is confidential..." said a middle-aged man helplessly.

The person opposite was the old man rescued by Lu Hai.

"This..." The old man was embarrassed for a moment when he heard this.

He joined the army when he was young, and started working in politics after retiring from the army. Naturally, he knew what this secret represented.

"What on earth is there in this small Ping'an County that is worthy of the higher-ups sending people down to investigate?" the old man muttered to himself.

However, he immediately figured it out and said to his son in a firm tone,

"No need to tell me. I have to see my lifesaver no matter what. As for those confidential missions, I won't ask about them. You can arrange it. I will go to the state-owned guesthouse in Ping'an County to thank my benefactor."

This made the man feel awkward, "Dad, it's not that I don't want you to go, but your body..."

"What's wrong with my body? I was fine when fighting the American soldiers, so how could I be defeated by such a small thing? Don't talk nonsense to me. Hurry up and arrange it for me, otherwise I will cut you down directly." The old man said unhappily.

The man was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

You don't know whether you are in good health or not, right?

However, he knew his father's temper. If he continued to be stubborn, he might run away secretly one day. It would be better for him to arrange for someone to go with him, at least he would have peace of mind.

"It's not that I don't want you to go, but you just came back from the hospital. You should rest for two days first. After you have recovered, I will make the arrangements. Do you think so?" The man said helplessly.

"If you faint again on the road and your benefactor finds out, what will he think?" The man knew that his persuasion would probably be useless. After all, his old man had a temper so stubborn that even ten oxen could not pull him back.

So I can only bring up the old man’s savior.

When the old man heard this, he looked conflicted and felt embarrassed for a moment.

After thinking it over again and again, he finally sighed, "Okay, then I'll do as you say!"

After the man successfully persuaded her to calm down, he also breathed a sigh of relief...
