"Ah? Lin Chuqiao? She's coming to Lijia Village? Isn't that Qiu Ju's ex-daughter-in-law?"

"Yeah, what's going on? Are they here to cause trouble? No, that girl doesn't seem like someone who would make trouble. She used to be a taciturn person in the village, not talking much!"

"But this is not right. Last time, Xiangnan's uncle Li Fuqin took the photo of his daughter-in-law and introduced her to everyone. He said that Nannan had found a new partner in Beijing, a police officer, and he was so handsome!"

"Yes, I heard from the villagers that the Li family will go to Yanjing to propose marriage around the New Year! Isn't it just ten days away? Lin Chuqiao is coming at this time, is there something fishy going on?"

For a moment, some villagers who were originally sitting at the door of Lao Li's house were attracted by Zhu Qiuju's startled breathing and immediately started talking.

They were all neighbors living nearby and were familiar with the Li family. They would often sit outside the Li family's doorway, basking in the sun and chatting while working on their work. Who would have thought they would hear such explosive news!

Therefore, everyone was extremely nervous and unbelievable.

"It's official business, just come, we welcome you, welcome!"

Zhu Qiuju smiled around and quickly pulled Li Fugen home, closing the door behind him. "Brother Fugen, what's going on?"

Li Fugen himself was a little confused, a little nervous and bewildered, and was about to speak.

The two sisters-in-law in the yard ran over.

"Qiuju, what's going on? Why is Lin Chuqiao coming?"

"Brother Fugen, your information is not wrong, right?"

"I really didn't lie! A project team from above is going to stay in our brigade. I just received a call from the commune! They have already gone to pick them up, and they will arrive at our brigade later! I thought I should come here in advance to tell your family, after all, they will come anyway, no matter if they come sooner or later!"

Li Fugen did not dare to hide anything and told everyone the news he had received.

"What disease are you talking about? What kind of insect? Does our team have that thing?" Ji Qingfang didn't quite understand.

"It's schistosomiasis!" Zhu Qiuju heard it clearly. After all, her husband Li Fugui is a doctor and he does know some medical knowledge.

Tong Yu frowned slightly, "Well, I have heard Fu Qiang talk about this before, but it was in the summer when there was an outbreak of schistosomiasis in the neighboring county. It was quite serious at the time! If someone specializes in studying this, it would be a good thing!"

The three sisters-in-law looked at each other.

But then a problem arises!

That’s Lin Chuqiao!

Facing Li Fugen, the brigade secretary who knew him well, Zhu Qiuju did not beat around the bush and asked bluntly, "Fugen, is this medical expert group from Yanjing?"

"That's right. I heard from the people in the commune that there are leaders from the State Planning Commission following us, and they attach great importance to this matter!" Li Fugen answered honestly, and emphasized: "When the people in the commune received the call from the province, there was also a list! The deputy secretary who answered the phone was the comrade who issued the approval form for Lin Chuqiao's return to the city. He knew Lin Chuqiao! So the higher-ups asked us to live in her original youth camp so that we can take care of her!"

"So that's how it is!" Tong Yu nodded. After knowing the situation, it was now up to the Li family to accept the task and prepare!

After all, it was a task assigned by the province and the public security bureau, so the Li family naturally could not refuse.

But Lin Chuqiao's identity is still a bit special after all.

Although Tong Yu was the eldest sister-in-law, in the democratic atmosphere of the Li family, she also respected the opinions of Zhu Qiuju, her younger sister-in-law, so she looked at her sisters-in-law.

Ji Qingfang is from the countryside, and she is very honest. She said whatever she thought, and immediately said, "Qiuju, if it was someone else, we would accept him! But it's Xiaolin, Xiangnan is getting married soon, will it be... inconvenient?"

Her reminder at this time is not without reason!

In this era, people attach great importance to reputation.

The divorce between Li Xiangnan and Lin Chuqiao caused an uproar in the village!

If it weren’t for Li Xiangnan’s return to the village that time, he would have raised his influence on the village to the peak and established his reputation in the village.

Otherwise, ordinary people will really be at the center of the storm!

Moreover, the situation in Lijia Village is different, and the people are relatively simple. Those who find it incredible are basically from other families. Over time, everyone expressed understanding and respect for Li Xiangnan's divorce.

Later, Li Xiangnan found a partner in Yanjing, a female police officer. This spread among the villagers, and they transferred their admiration and love for Li Xiangnan to Qin Ruobai. They all hoped that they could attend the Li family's wedding during the Chinese New Year!

But now, before Qin Ruobai even showed up, Lin Chuqiao came instead.

If she lived in Old Li's house, even if everyone in the village was honest, there would inevitably be people gossiping about her!

"If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows!"

At this time, Xiangnan's grandmother helped his grandfather to sit at the door and said something slowly.

Everyone looked over and saw that grandma was leisurely picking glutinous rice for making rice cakes for the New Year, as if nothing had happened.

Zhu Qiuju laughed and raised her thumbs up, saying, "Mom, I think the same as you do! Chu Qiao is a good person, although she is a little cold-tempered, but who says that after the divorce, the two families can't interact with each other? If we can't be relatives, then we can be friends! Besides, she is a girl from a family, and she is here for business! She can still come to Hongshan County and Lijia Village, which is the fate of our Li family and Lin family!"

“Not bad!”

My grandfather, who was serious and taciturn, added this sentence silently.

That basically set the tone.

Zhu Qiuju looked at Li Fugen.

"I understand!" Li Fugen nodded. "His grandparents, Qiuju, I will take some village officials to pick them up now! The commune has a tractor, it should be quick to get here from the county town! We have arranged some youth educated sites for them! Let them do a good job on the project in the village!"

"Brother Fugen, thank you for your hard work!" Zhu Qiuju said with a smile.

"Why should I work so hard? You've worked so hard! I'll have to trouble you again for a while! I'm afraid this project team won't be able to finish its work even before the Chinese New Year!" Li Fugen stuffed his pipe with tobacco and said with a smile, "If the commune has subsidies later, I'll ask you for them!"

"Hurry up and go!" Zhu Qiuju actually urged him.

Li Fugen turned and left.

Zhu Qiuju stood still, looking at the door of her house.

Sisters-in-law Tong Yuji and Qingfang looked at each other and sighed silently.

An hour later.

Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, Zhu Qiuju held her mother's arm tightly and looked at the mountain road in the distance.

"Why are you still a little nervous?" grandma asked softly, pulling up the girl's collar from behind.

"Well, I'm not nervous! I just think Chu Qiao is a good girl! But she and Nan Nan are not meant to be together!"

Grandma smiled and said nothing.

Chu Chu Chu!

Three tractors emitting black smoke appeared from the horizon at the end and soon drove closer.

The car hasn't stopped yet.

A graceful figure jumped off the tractor and ran towards Zhu Qiuju.

Lin Chuqiao had imagined that slightly old figure countless times.

How many times have I seen it in my dreams!

She staggered over, her open red lips moving countless times, but she could never say the word "Mom" that she had called countless times in her heart along the way.

He could only throw himself into Zhu Qiuju's arms, trembling with excitement, and grabbing her clothes tightly with both hands.

Finally, she raised her beautiful face and looked at the mother-in-law she had been thinking about day and night with red eyes.

There is nothing to say about each other, but a thousand lines of tears.

"Kid, you are suffering!"

But when the other party said warm words and she wiped away her tears with her honest fingertips, Lin Chuqiao could no longer bear the grievance in her heart and wailed:

"Mom~"

The mountain village is speechless.

The villagers were shocked.

Lin Weiguo and Shen Yujing behind him also stayed there.
