Chapter 456 I'll give you a semi-automatic rifle in exchange for a hunting rifle
Lu Yao and Yang Lina dismounted.
Lu Yao led her inside and introduced her to Ding Mei:
"This is Yang Lina, a reporter from the Jiangzhou Weekly in the county. Don't you have newspapers at home? The ones you used to wallpaper the walls during the New Year. There's a cartoon on one of them that Yang Lina created, and there's also a prose poem. Do you remember...?"
Ding Mei rolled her big eyes and thought:
"Oh, that newspaper under the light cord, the one with the prose poem called 'Snow on the Riverbank,' right?"
"Yes, you have a great memory!"
Lu Yao patted her forehead.
Ding Mei also became happy:
"Oh my, it's a big reporter! I can't believe I'm meeting you in person... Oh my, you're so beautiful!"
When Yang Lina heard Lu Yao introduce her as his girlfriend, she was very enthusiastic.
Holding Ding Mei's hand, he said, "You're so beautiful too. Come on, let me take a picture of the two of you."
Yang Lina prepared this roll of film specifically for Lu Yao.
Jiangzhou Weekly also publishes periodicals and is ready to serialize Lu Yao in several issues.
It's rare for such a great hero to emerge from Jiangzhou, we should definitely promote him!
Ding Mei was also extremely surprised when she saw Yang Lina take out a camera.
When she was 100 days old, Ding Dahu and his wife took her to a photo studio in the city to take a commemorative photo.
I haven't taken any more photos since then.
Every time I went to the commune, I would look at the photos of the people on the honor roll and I envied them for being able to leave their images behind.
Seeing that Yang Lina wanted to take a picture of him, he was so frightened that he quickly said:
"Wait a moment, Ms. Yang, let me comb my hair and change my clothes."
Run inside as fast as you can.
Upon hearing that reporters had arrived, Ding Dahu came out and ushered them into the house.
I heard they came to do an exclusive interview with Lu Yao, and I was quite envious.
It was something I never dared to dream of for a reporter from the county's weekly newspaper to come to Jiapigou for an exclusive interview.
He quickly started introducing Jiapigou and himself to Yang Lina, but seeing that Yang Lina wasn't very interested, he then began introducing Lu Yao.
Lu Yao and Yang Lina waited in the room where Ding Dahu and his wife lived, while Ding Mei went back to her room to change clothes.
She's sleeping in Ding Youliang's room now.
Ding Dahu looked like he had a daughter, and was afraid that Lu Yao would sleep with him before they got married.
It was Xie Chunfang's experience that made Ding Dahu take this matter seriously.
Not long after, Ding Mei arrived, dressed in brand new clothes.
If it weren't for the fact that her hair wasn't styled in a bun and instead had a long braid, she would look like a newlywed.
Lu Yao and Ding Mei sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
He held Tiger Girl in his arms.
Yang Lina took photos of the two of them.
Xie Chunfang, standing to the side, was quite envious, but too embarrassed to ask reporter Yang to take a picture of her and Ding Dahu as well.
After taking the photos, Lu Yao told Ding Dahu that he was going to two neighboring villages to discuss the installation of electricity.
Ding Dahu nodded in agreement: "I can go to Shilazi Village with you, but I won't go to Shanghewan. I'm afraid Niu Wannian will ask me for that five-shot rifle."
Lu Yao laughed: "You really were right. If we want things to get better between our villages, I'm actually thinking of having you send the Fifth Company back to Niu Wannian so you can reconcile."
"What? No way! I risked my life to steal that. Giving it to him? Are you going to let him shoot me?"
Lu Yao asked him, "Then let me ask you, do you want a five-round burst, or a five- or six-round semi-automatic?"
"Huh? Five or six half? Where is it? Give it to me!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the Mauser pistol slung over Lu Yao's shoulder.
No man dislikes a gun.
When Lu Yao mentioned five or six and a half, Ding Dahu naturally became very hungry.
Lu Yao said, "I have a Type 56 caliber rifle stored with the militia company. I'll bring it back to you later."
Seeing Yang Lina taking notes, I quickly snatched her pen away.
"My dear reporter, I'm taking you under my wing because I consider you a friend. Don't write about everything I do, especially things that don't comply with the rules, or I won't let you work with me anymore."
Yang Lina didn't quite understand either:
"Huh? It doesn't comply with the regulations? Why did you still do it?"
Lu Yao took her notebook and started flipping through it herself.
She embellished many of the things she had said before and wrote them down.
They asked Yang Lina, "Do you want the people of Jiangzhou to see a heroic figure full of positive energy, or an ordinary, unassuming person?"
Yang Lina said, "A real hero, a hero with flesh and blood."
Lu Yao waved his hand: "What real hero! I just did something on a whim, and it was all luck. I'm just an ordinary person. If you don't want people to be disappointed in heroes, then don't write about my daily life. Otherwise, I won't accept your interview."
Yang Lina sighed, "Oh my, you're so genuine!"
She has interviewed many people, including model workers and business leaders from various industries.
Everyone wanted to show off and portray their glorious deeds in a lofty and noble way.
This is the first time I've met someone who belittles themselves during an interview.
Although he was slightly disappointed to find that Lu Yao was not the hero he had imagined, he admired his authenticity even more.
"Okay, how about I finish writing the draft and let you take a look?"
"Okay!"
To be honest, Lu Yao didn't want to be famous.
I only agreed to the interview because of Yang Lina's sake.
Yang Lina genuinely befriended me, which is why I was given the opportunity to be interviewed.
Having convinced Ding Dahu, Ding Dahu was even more eager to go to Shanghewan:
"Tuwazi, I'll send the five-shot rifle to Niu Wannian first. Let's take care of Shanghewan first. Then, when you come back next time, bring me that five-six-and-a-half rifle."
Lu Yao nodded in agreement.
Ding Dahu got dressed, picked up a five-shot rifle and bullets, and followed Lu Yao out.
Yang Lina also came out.
Ding Dahu also quietly asked Lu Yao:
"Hey kid, the Type 56 semi-automatic you mentioned...you didn't steal it from the militia, did you?"
Lu Yao answered in a low voice, not wanting Yang Lina to hear:
"No, it wasn't on the register. Once when I was in the city, someone robbed me with a gun, and I stole it."
Ding Dahu couldn't help but admire it.
Armed with five or six half-strikes, they were disarmed by the country bumpkin.
Awesome!
If it were me, I guess I would have no choice but to surrender.
Lu Yao's gun was stolen from Liang Chao and his group, and it's been locked up in the militia company's armory ever since.
We'll be hunting after the New Year, and we'll need that gun.
We'll take it back and form our own hunting team.
As for that five-shot burst, it was originally from Niu Wannian.
Now that Niu Wannian and I have a very good relationship, it would be a bit unreasonable not to return it to him.
It would be best if the three villages could unite and help each other in the future, as this would make them even stronger.
Lu Yao mounted his horse and reached out to pull Yang Lina up with him.
Ding Dahu carried a five-shot rifle on his back and rode his bicycle alongside him.
Ding Mei watched them leave from the courtyard, regretting that her leg wasn't fully healed yet, otherwise she could ride off on horseback with Tuwazi.
Xie Chunfang was behind her:
"Little Meizi, if you really like Tuwazi, you should make him marry you as soon as possible. Otherwise, I see too many beautiful young women around him."
Ding Mei remained silent.
How could she not see that?
However, I feel that if Lu Yao changes his mind, then marriage won't be able to hold him back.
She was waiting for Lu Yao to take the initiative to propose marriage and make arrangements for her to marry him.
As a girl, I shouldn't have brought this up on my own initiative.
Before Lu Yao, Ding Dahu, and Yang Lina even entered Shanghewan Village, someone spotted them from afar and ran towards Niu Wannian's house.
"Uncle Wannian, it's bad news! Ding Dahu from Jiapigou is here with a gun!"
