Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Gou Shengzi borrowed Wang Fugui's car again, using Lu Yao's name.

Now that Lu Yao has led his men to wipe out the wolf pack, he has distributed meat to every household for the New Year, and his prestige is exceptionally high.

Wang Fugui was even more afraid to provoke Lu Yao.

Watching him snatch the ferryman's meat last night and refuse to give it to him, his domineering attitude was no less than Ding Dahu's.

Therefore, Wang Fugui dared not offend him.

Knowing that Gou Shengzi and Tie Zhu were Lu Yao's confidants, and that Lu Yao had asked him to lend the money, he naturally dared not refuse.

As Gou Shengzi pushed the cart out, he gave him some instructions:

"Never carry people on your back, or the vehicle will be damaged."

Gou Shengzi agreed verbally, pushed the car for more than ten meters, and then got on.

Tie Zhu "Teng" then sat in the back seat.

This angered Wang Fugui so much that he started cursing.

But they didn't dare chase after the car to get it back.

Now, as soon as Gou Shengzi saw Yang Shouye come out, he followed closely behind with Tie Zhu, neither too close nor too far.

Yang Shouye was preoccupied with his own thoughts and didn't notice that someone was following him.

He first went to Majiadian and told the women's director, Ma Lian, not to talk nonsense.

Then it turned back and headed back to Jiapigou.

In one day, four production teams were visited.

He was burning himself out, yet he didn't seem to get tired.

This really exhausted Gou Shengzi and Tie Zhu.

You need to follow along, but not get too close.

When there is no one on the main road, you should be at least 100 meters away.

At least we didn't lose them, so we can consider it a successful mission.

They both remembered which village he visited and how long he stayed.

……

Lu Yao first returned Zhao Scarface's jeep.

To express his gratitude, he wanted to give the wolf king's pelt to Zhao Balai.

When Zhao Balai saw the rare wolf pelt, he was overjoyed.

Lu Yao then took out the pair of bear paws and asked him to help sell them.

Zhao Balai knew the director of this state-run restaurant.

They went straight to the kitchen and brought it out. Upon seeing that it was a rare bear paw, they immediately offered it for 100 yuan.

Although it's not as expensive as the black market, the black market is risky, so it's better to sell it directly.

Because of Zhao Bala's influence, the director didn't ask for any letters of introduction or proof of identity, and directly issued a receipt and gave him cash.

Lu Yao suggested treating Zhao Balai to a meal at a restaurant, but Zhao Balai insisted on treating.

He took Lu Yao to a restaurant.

The two ordered six dishes, determined to drink until they were completely drunk with Lu Yao.

Lu Yao had something on her mind and didn't drink much with him.

After the meal, we returned to the commune.

At this time, Yang Shouye was still busy running around in various villages and had not returned.

Jiang Baocai reported the situation to Lu Yao.

He said he had spread the word, and Liu Dameng went to relay it.

Then Yang Shouye left in a hurry.

Lu Yao couldn't help but smile.

People in this era are far less cunning than those who came after the opening up of China.

Then it depends on whether Gou Shengzi and his team can complete the mission.

Lu Yao wants to go back to the village.

Although he was the deputy company commander, he had a higher reputation among the militia than the company commander.

The only thing he lacks now is age.

However, in this era, academic credentials are not valued as much.

There are quite a few young people in leadership positions.

Now Lu Yao doesn't need to ask for leave anymore; he can just tell his subordinates and leave.

When I got to the front yard, I saw a brand new bicycle leaning against the wall.

He asked Liang Xiaohong, his secretary who was hanging clothes to dry in the yard, "Whose car is this?"

"It's from Xiao Zheng, Zheng Wenli."

"Can he ride a bike with his injured butt?"

Liang Xiaohong chuckled: "He didn't ride a bike. Yesterday he took the supply and marketing station's shuttle bus to the city, and this morning he came by bus. He's still limping."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao went inside to find Zheng Wenli.

Even though he had stitches in his butt, this guy was still quite dedicated, standing there preparing his copy.

Lu Yao asked, "Hey, how's your butt?"

Zheng Wenli was furious the moment he saw Lu Yao:

"Where did you take Ding Mei last night?"

"Take her home. By the way, I've said a lot of good things about you to her. I fully support you pursuing her."

"You support me?"

"Yeah, haven't I supported you from the very beginning?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Wenli couldn't help but think for a moment.

Lu Yao did not compete with her, and since they met, he had been very good to her, always smiling when he spoke.

"So what's your relationship with Ding Mei?"

"Neighbors, we grew up together."

"Oh... then... has Ding Mei mentioned me to you?"

Zheng Wenli is now completely smitten with Ding Mei and is always wondering how Ding Mei views him.

Lu Yao laughed and said, "She's a very proper girl and has never thought about marriage. If you suddenly propose to her, she'll think you're being irresponsible by asking to marry a woman she barely knows. How can she possibly have a good impression of you?"

Zheng Wenli rubbed his hands together, "Yes, it was my rashness. I should have gotten to know her indirectly first, and then brought up marriage!"

Suddenly his eyes lit up: "Xiao Lu, you know her well. If you go back and see her, say a few nice words to me."

Lu Yao nodded: "I'd like to help you; I even encouraged you before. But I don't have a car to get around. I'm planning to stay at the militia company for the next few days so I don't have to travel back and forth!"

Zheng Wenli reached in and pulled out the car keys:

"Don't worry about not having a car, I have one. I have stitches in my butt, so I can't ride for the next few days. Just ride back and forth to the village every day, and tell me about Ding Mei's situation when you go to work."

Lu Yao quickly declined, saying, "That's a new car of yours. I can't afford to pay for any damage or scratches I might get in it."

"What compensation? As long as you can persuade Ding Mei to agree to date me, I'll give you this car!"

Lu Yao was genuinely surprised that the stingy Zheng Wenli would say something like that.

Even if he could lend him the car, Lu Yao felt it was a great favor.

If he didn't lend it to me, I would have kicked the lock and ridden it anyway.

Who would have thought that this guy would actually promise himself a bicycle for Ding Mei?

It seems he truly loves Ding Mei!

However, Lu Yao knew that Ding Mei liked him now, so he could no longer mention Zheng Wenli in front of her.

If I bring it up again, I'll definitely get angry.

"Okay. I'll ride a couple of times first, and once I get the bicycle ticket, I'll buy one myself."

After saying that, he took the keys and left.

Zheng Wenli stood by the window, watching Lu Yao's retreating figure, his hands clasped together in prayer.

"I hope you can persuade Ding Mei!"

When I close my eyes, all I can see in my mind is the beautiful Ding Mei.

……

Lu Yao rode his future father-in-law's new car back home.

The joy I felt when I was first reborn was gone.

He is still conflicted.

I should find an opportunity to talk to Ding Mei, to have an in-depth conversation and to speak frankly.

Let's see what Ding Mei really means...

Actually, you should ask yourself what it means.

Ding Mei has now openly expressed her feelings for herself and her dislike for Zheng Wenli.

It seems I've unintentionally become the third party in this relationship.

If he agreed right now, Ding Mei would throw herself into his arms.

In his previous life, Lu Yao was a master at picking up girls; he wasn't ignorant of women's hearts.

However, because of Ding Mei's special status, he never dared to think about it that way.

Now that Ding Mei and Xiao Qian have both revealed their true feelings, how could he not understand?

What he's struggling with now is still whether or not to change Zheng Shuang's fate.

If he takes Ding Mei, he will never let any other man touch her.

Therefore, Zheng Shuang is destined not to live this life.

No Ding Mei...

Thinking back on all the moments I shared with Ding Mei, I really couldn't bear to see her sad.

The conflicted Lu Yao nearly broke Zheng Wenli's bicycle pedals along the way.

We still can't decide.

I rode the bike straight home and heard a commotion in the yard. Then, a gunshot rang out.

Lu Yao was taken aback.
