Chapter 674 - 0674: Refund and Leave Message 3_1
The person who spoke up was Secretary Huang, whose attitude was very serious and gained everyone’s unanimous approval.
Before Cheng Baoguo and Wang Zhengguo could speak, Father Lu politely declined, "Isn’t living just living no matter where I am? I think the cowshed is quite nice. After all these years of living together, I’ve grown fond of these animals and don’t want to leave. Without the cowshed, I wouldn’t know what to do. I am aware that my comrades are considering my well-being, for which I am very grateful in my heart, but I’ve grown accustomed to my current life and don’t wish to make any changes because of a letter from the leaders. This might make everyone think that I’ve become overly proud."
Leave the cowshed? That’s a joke, there’s still a lot of the Lu family’s possessions underneath it!
Secretary Huang said uncomfortably, "It’s not really advisable for you to continue living in the cowshed, you know!"
"What’s wrong with it? The more you receive praise from the leaders, the less and less you should make any changes. If not, then how can the leaders praise others? If I were to improve my quality of life through the leaders’ praise, wouldn’t that be in a mess?" Father Lu smiled faintly, "Our brigade secretary, who is also brigade leader, is very generous, and, as long as you work diligently, everyone is treated fairly."
Cheng Baoguo, aware that Father Lu must have a hidden meaning, stepped in saying, "Alright, alright, since Comrade Lu doesn’t want to leave the cowshed, then we won’t insist. These items here are just a small token of our gratitude, so please don’t refuse, Comrade Lu."
These were some grain tickets, cloth tickets, sugar tickets, and egg tickets collected by officials from various levels- although they were more important than money, they were not money after all.
Father Lu thanked them repeatedly and finally managed to see Wang Zhengguo and the others off.
After unloading the dried sweet potatoes from the car and storing them in the granary, Wang Zhengguo and Father Lu drove back to the field to continue their work.
