Chapter 516 Outstanding men attract attention wherever they go.
Yuan Hai and Fan Suzhen did not look too good.
You love your own daughter dearly.
Although Lu Yao is a nice young man, he still felt uneasy about pushing away his daughter's gifts like this.
However, Yuan Hai was completely suppressed by Yuan Tianshu and dared not say another word.
Fan Suzhen instructed her daughter:
"Shumei, why don't you come back tonight? Have your dad pick you up?"
"No need, I plan to go back to work after the fifteenth. Staying at home is boring. I'll stay in Jiapigou for a couple of days."
Even without Lu Yao, Yuan Shumei was already addicted to living in Jiapigou.
I enjoy chatting with Xiao Meizi.
Ding Mei treated her with the utmost sincerity, making her feel the warmth of a friend.
Fan Suzhen had no choice but to agree.
The family saw Lu Yao off, with Yuan Tianshu being particularly enthusiastic.
They escorted Lu Yao hand in hand.
In fact, even setting aside the aspect of exploitation, he admired Lu Yao.
Looking at Lu Yao, I was really reminded of my rebellious self when I was young.
I recall the days when we charged into battle on horseback.
I recall the time when I proclaimed myself king in the mountains and commanded the heroes in the military camp.
Ah, I'm getting old!
However, he still couldn't let go of his obsession.
Those things that belong to me must be taken back.
Even in death, take it to the coffin.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Lu Yao was very complicated.
Yuan Hai, watching from the side, felt something was off.
Yuan Tianshu had many students and younger relatives who would come to visit him during holidays.
However, he wasn't even this enthusiastic towards County Head Hao Limin.
That guy surnamed Lu really has a lot of charisma!
She not only won over her own daughter, but also seemed to have captivated the old man.
After watching Lu Yao leave with Yuan Shumei, Yuan Tianshu still didn't go inside.
He didn't wake up until Yuan Hai called him; Lu Yao had already left.
Looking at Yuan Hai, she said, "I wonder... if our Shumei can win this kid over. I don't think he's someone an ordinary girl can control!"
Yuan Hai sighed, speechless.
Fan Suzhen glared at the old man from behind.
Now she sees Yuan Tianchu as nothing less than a demon.
……
Lu Yao drove out, and Yuan Shumei sat in the passenger seat.
He looked at Lu Yao without saying a word, just smiling.
This is a genuine excitement.
He reached out and touched Lu Yao's hand, which was resting on the gearshift.
"Lu Yao..."
"Um?"
"It's alright!"
She smiled, and there really wasn't much to say, she just felt happy to be alone with Lu Yao.
Lu Yao was shifting gears, and she was stroking Lu Yao's hand.
Lu Yao also smiled:
"Xiao Meizi really misses you. Are you staying at her house again after you go?"
"Yes, otherwise, I wouldn't be staying at your house."
Lu Yao smiled slightly.
Look at Yuan Shumei's bright, clear eyes:
"Actually, I'm planning to set up a winery after the New Year, and I really hope you can stay and give me some pointers. My neighbor, Grandpa Zuo, is an expert in winemaking. He ran a winery before Liberation, and his winemaking skills are excellent. You two can exchange ideas more."
Yuan Shumei nodded: "Sure, just let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Given our relationship, you don't need to be shy..."
As she spoke, Yuan Shumei placed her hand on Lu Yao's leg, looked at him, and gradually increased the pressure with her fingers.
Lu Yao asked her with a smile:
"What are you doing? Do you want me to hug you?"
"Only a fool would want that!"
Yuan Shumei blushed and quickly took her hand back.
Even after Lu Yao parked the car in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, the blush on her face had not faded.
Lu Yao opened the door and got out of the car:
"Wait here for me, I'm going to buy a gun."
"it is good."
Yuan Shumei was in a complete state of turmoil.
Staring at Lu Yao's back, she was truly distracted.
I really long for his embrace.
……
The coal stoves in the supply and marketing cooperative were burning brightly.
Behind the counter, saleswoman Song Yuzhen was using a feather duster to dust off the cement and glass countertops.
The cotton curtain was lifted, letting in a blast of cold air.
A tall, strapping young man walked in, wearing a military green overcoat and suede shoes, with a very energetic look in his eyes.
"Comrade, what would you like to buy?"
Song Yuzhen felt the face looked familiar and put down the duster.
It's rare for a salesperson to greet customers proactively these days, so it's clear the salesperson is in a good mood today.
Actually, I was only so proactive because I felt that Lu Yao had a kind face.
No sooner had she finished asking than Song Yuzhen exclaimed, "Oh!"
"It's you, young comrade... You came to buy a gun before the New Year."
Lu Yao was surprised that she still remembered him.
So he nodded and smiled, took out two neatly folded pieces of paper from his pocket, and pushed them across the counter:
"I'll have to trouble you again this time. I'd like to sell a few more guns."
Song Yuzhen accepted the two letters of introduction stamped with red seals.
One was from the commune's revolutionary committee, and the other was from the county's armed forces department.
The content is simple and direct: Comrade Lu Yao, the militia company commander and production team leader of Jiapigou, is hereby authorized to purchase firearms and ammunition for winter hunting training and the production team's autumn harvest protection needs.
Her gaze lingered on the number below, and she looked Lu Yao up and down with great surprise.
"Ten guns... I'm telling you, Company Commander Lu, you've practically emptied out our entire stockpile!"
He picked up the pen to write a receipt for Lu Yao.
"We only have ten guns left in our warehouse: five small-caliber air rifles and five Eagle brand double-barreled shotguns. We'll give them all to you, but it'll cost quite a bit, won't it?"
Lu Yao nodded: "No problem, we pooled our money to buy it."
Small-caliber air rifles cost 110 yuan each, and hunting rifles cost 130 yuan each; each rifle comes with a box of ammunition.
Lu Yao added an extra box of bullets to each gun, which cost an extra 25 yuan.
Song Yuzhen's calculations were meticulous, and she arrived at the following conclusion:
"The total is 1225 yuan."
Lu Yao took out the money he had borrowed from Yuan Shumei's family and counted it for her.
In those days of scarcity, being able to suddenly produce such a thick stack of ten-yuan notes was truly attractive.
Song Yuzhen looked at Lu Yao, who was skillfully counting money, and her eyes warmed even more.
Once the money was counted correctly, she turned around and shouted towards the back warehouse, asking someone to help her count the goods.
He leaned over the counter, elbows propped up, and whispered, his voice low despite his young age, revealing a gossipy nature:
"Last time you came, you bought three. It hasn't been that long, has it? These letters of introduction aren't easy to get. Your commune leaders and the armed forces department really support your work. Young man, you're quite capable. Are you twenty yet?"
"eighteen."
"Only eighteen and already a company commander? That's incredible!"
Lu Yao just smiled, not wanting to chat with anyone.
My gaze shifted to the long wooden crate that the two male sales clerks were carrying out from behind.
The wooden crate made a dull thud as it rested on the cement floor.
Lifting the lid, you see straw padding inside, and the dark gun barrel gleams coldly.
While Song Yuzhen was checking the goods, her mind was already racing.
Such a fine young man, with a respectable appearance, becoming a cadre at such a young age, and managing to obtain such a powerful approval document—his future is bound to be bright.
Thinking about my uncle's daughter, she graduated from high school and is unemployed at home. She is pretty, but she is too picky and doesn't like any of the men I introduce her to.
Isn't this a match made in heaven?
Once the idea of matchmaking took hold, he couldn't suppress it.
She turned around, poured a glass of water from the thermos, and handed it to Lu Yao, her tone becoming even more intimate:
"Company Commander Lu, if I may ask, do you have a boyfriend yet? I have a cousin who's eighteen, and she's beautiful..."
