To avoid the factory finding out, Lu Ming and his wife wanted to rent a house outside. Lu Cong helped find a house right at the foot of the hill near the Lu Hua Production Team, where there were osmanthus trees that could be picked, sun-dried, and processed at no cost.
The food factory also bought their osmanthus from the Lu Hua Production Team, which made Lu Ming and his wife very happy. They agreed immediately and went to lease the place themselves. The Lu Hua Production Team was close to the county town, so taking a walk there in the evening only took half an hour.
However, Lu Cong did not participate in making the pastries. He just lived in the rented house, claiming to help look after the place, which made Lu Ming and his wife even happier since everyone wants their little family to be free from outsiders.
