Chapter 162 - 156: It’s Good to Be Back
Carrying so much stuff and riding on three-wheeled bicycles ostentatiously through the city, along with Wu Tan, Lin Weisheng, and Zhang Ming, who also had large and small packages to lug home.
Had they been away for long?
The people from Yushu Village’s eyes turned red as they watched. Those few families who had earlier declined Lu Aiguo’s second uncle’s request for their children to go to Haicheng to help Lu Aiguo now regretted their decision so much that they were green with envy. They hurriedly approached him again, only to be told that no help was needed at the moment and they would have to wait.
The families that had planted potatoes after the "call to action" by Lu Aiguo’s second uncle now felt reassured. Now they didn’t have to worry about having too many potatoes that Lu Aiguo couldn’t buy. On the other hand, those who didn’t plant potatoes initially were secretly regretting it.
They had made such a spectacle of their return, partly to give Lu Aiguo’s second uncle and his wife some face, so attracting attention was within their expectations. However, the attention they drew eventually brought someone they hadn’t anticipated, but let’s not talk about that for now.
First, let’s say that seeing Lu Aiguo, Xia Yuan, Lu Yun, and Shitou return, the second uncle managed to keep his composure, barely concealing his true emotions with his eyes.
But Lu Aiguo’s second aunt couldn’t hold back; her entire being was trembling, her eyes filled with both anticipation and fear.
Lu Aiguo’s expression wasn’t much better as he looked at his second aunt with unease. Both parties stopped a few steps from each other, and for a moment, as they stared at one another, neither could say a word.
