Chapter 615: What Does This Have to Do with Second Sister-in-Law Being Pregnant?
Before leaving, Liu's father had given endless instructions, truly looking back with every single step.
Afterwards, he got into the vehicle in a daze, just sitting there foolishly grinning.
Even now, he still finds it hard to believe this is real, occasionally pinching himself.
This left Liu Zhijun, who was driving, and Liangzi's wife, sitting by the front passenger door, staring in shock, but they understood, knowing the hardships the Shanliang family had endured over the years.
As the tractor entered the village, Liu's father still hadn't snapped out of it, his thoughts still ten thousand miles away.
Liu Zhijun, who was driving, and Liangzi's wife on the other side by the door both got out, yet he remained sitting there alone, lost in thought.
The brigade leader, who had come to the village entrance to wait for the tractor, saw Liu's father like this and looked at his eldest grandson: "What's wrong with him?"
Liu Zhijun turned back, saw the man still in the vehicle, slapped his forehead, and burst out laughing: "My Uncle Shanliang is going to be a father again; he's so happy he's lost his bearings, probably hasn't even come to his senses yet."
Upon hearing this, the Party Secretary asked: "Is that true or false?"
His voice even rose several octaves.
It was only because of his shout that the person in the vehicle finally came to his senses, looked left and right, and his old face immediately became extremely embarrassed: "You got out without telling me."
Saying he was sorry, he quickly jumped out of the vehicle.
At this moment, the Party Secretary couldn't care less about the newly arrived tractor; he took a few steps and walked up to Liu's father: "Is your wife really pregnant?"
Liu's father was now displeased: "How could this possibly be false?"
Ever since the family split, life had been incredibly comfortable, and they had never lacked food; moreover, Liu Chuxue often brought them good things, so the couple's health had improved significantly compared to before, which was why they had conceived.
However, he did not say this, to avoid arousing jealousy and causing unnecessary trouble for his own family.
He was not good at talking, but he was not stupid; some things were better kept known only within the family.
The villagers who had followed the Party Secretary to see the tractor heard their conversation and erupted: "Shanliang, does this mean you are still sharp in your old age?"
"Your Chunxiao must be over ten years old, right?"
"His Chunxiao is the same age as my Shengfang; she is twelve this year."
Seeing everyone talking more and more inappropriately, with some even making lewd jokes, the Party Secretary said: "Enough; the fact that Shanliang's wife can get pregnant again only shows that their life is good and their mood is pleasant, so this good thing naturally came; keep your mouths shut and stop talking nonsense."
Liu Shanling, who was behind the crowd, heard these words and quietly turned to leave.
He rushed home: "Hongjuan, wife, where are you?"
A head poked out from the newly dug cellar: "What are you shouting over there for?"
Seeing his wife climb out of the cellar, Liu Shanling said: "Oh my, your impatience is not good; I already said, wait until the field work is nearly done these few days, then I will go buy lime, so why did you start working on it yourself?"
Su Hongjuan threw the tools in her hands up: "If I wait for you to do it, by the time the winter vegetables come down, this cellar will still be a half-finished product; weren't you at work, so how did you come back?"
Liu Shanling pulled her up, leaned close to her ear, and whispered: "Second Sister-in-law is pregnant?"
Upon hearing this, Su Hongjuan asked: "Where did you hear that from?"
"Isn't it because the village tractor has been brought back? The men in the fields couldn't stay put; everyone wanted to see it immediately, so they followed it to the village entrance."
"What does that have to do with Second Sister-in-law being pregnant?"
After speaking, she only then realized something: "The village tractor has been brought back?"
Liu Shanling nodded: "It's a brand new vehicle, very impressive, tall and big just like the Dongfeng truck; how could it be false?"
"Is that true or false? How can there be such a big tractor?"
After all, the ones driven in the commune were big tractors; this was the first time she had heard of such a large tractor.
