Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 132 Brother is here

When they rode their bikes to Hongqi Commune, the two prepared to go to a state-owned restaurant for lunch.

They set out on their journey before daybreak. They hurriedly ate two steamed buns in the morning, and after riding for so long, they were already starving.

If I hadn't opened the box of newly arrived chocolates to fill my stomach, I might have had hypoglycemia and had to lie down to recover.

The state-owned restaurant was full of guests. Perhaps because the weather had gotten hotter, some well-off families no longer liked to cook. Not only was it troublesome to cook in a tube-shaped building, but the high temperature of the stove was annoying.

Of course, this situation is still a minority. There are not many people who can go to restaurants every day. Apart from families, the customers are mainly children of cadres who have money and free time. They like to hang out in groups, commonly known as street darts.

Fu Biao took the money and went to order food, asking for braised pork, loofah and egg soup, and braised noodles with green beans.

Xiong Lijin was looking for a seat in the lobby with a backpack.

There was a table in the corner with only two people sitting at it, which was just enough space to join together.

Xiong Lijin walked around the table and said, "Brother, let's share a table."

The man who was eating heard him and looked up, "Little Bear?"

"Brother Chengxin!" Xiong Lijin shouted in surprise, "Why are you here?" Even though he asked, he put his things against the wall before sitting down opposite Luo Chengxin.

Luo Chengxin swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "I came to see Xiaoci. Oh, Luo Xinci, you should know her. She went to the countryside with you. She is my sister."

The trio had long guessed the identities of Luo Chengli and Luo Xinci, but the communication with Luo Chengxin was mainly the responsibility of Mayor Chen Jinghan. After all, Luo Chengxin was the person in charge of their sales channels in H Province. As for why Chen Jinghan had never told Luo Chengxin about this, that was his business.

Since the other party didn't mention it, they naturally couldn't be sure what the relationship between the two parties was.

"Really? That's such a coincidence. Brother Chengxin, why didn't you tell us earlier? After all, we live in the same place." Xiong Lijin waved at Fu Biao who was coming over.

Luo Chengxin picked up some food and started chatting with him, "What's there to say? You just arrived in the countryside, and everyone is confused. Just take care of yourself." Anyway, the third brother is with the youngest sister, so he can't not trust his younger brother and bother others.

Although now it seems that this younger brother is really unreliable.

After Fu Biao sat down, he looked at Luo Chengxin in surprise and said, "Long time no see, Brother Chengxin."

Luo Chengxin patted Fu Biao's broad shoulders and said, "Not bad, not bad. You are getting stronger and stronger. Little Bear looks a lot stronger too."

"He works in the fields every day and goes up the mountain to collect firewood. He gets a lot of exercise, so of course he is in good health." Fu Biao is also very satisfied with Xiong Lijin's current health, which is much better than before.

Fu Biao originally did not agree with Xiong Lijin going to the countryside, because this brother was a premature baby and was not in good health, and they were all worried that he would not be able to cope. However, the conflicts between Xiong Lijin and his family became more and more serious, and finally there was no choice, so the three of them signed up to go to the countryside together and moved to one place, so that at least they could take care of each other.

Xiong Lijin himself was also happy. If he had known that more exercise would make him healthier, he should have followed Fu Biao and gone wild since he was a child.

The other person who shared the table felt a little embarrassed when he found out that the three were friends. He quickly finished his meal and ran away.

The three of them were left eating and chatting.

Luo Chengxin mainly wanted to know how his sister was doing.

The two male educated youth who lived in the backyard could still say a few words in this regard. After all, they were the ones who witnessed the whole process of the little girl's changes.

"Tell me about my third child first. How is he at work? When he was at home, the brat was really a blind man who wouldn't even help up when an oil bottle fell over. What about him now?" Luo Chengxin had a account in his mind. He remembered every little report his sister made, and was just waiting to settle the account with Luo Chengli.

Now? The two looked at each other.

Fu Biao spoke frankly, "It's the same now. He lives with the educated youth. He doesn't do any other work except fetching water and collecting firewood. When he gets off work and returns to his room, he just waits for dinner."

Luo Chengxin kept smiling, "Doesn't he cook with Xiaoci?" The brat takes care of his sister just to let her fend for herself?

"Luo Xinci and Yuan Jiaojiao cook together. The two girls are very hardworking. They go for a walk after dinner every day and bring back some firewood." Xiong Lijin feels that compared to Luo Chengli, Luo Xinci is much better.

When he heard Yuan Jiaojiao's name, Luo Chengxin's expression softened a lot. The girl who changed her job to the countryside to help him take care of his sister had indeed made a lot of sacrifices.

It's just that he didn't achieve anything after he retired from the army, and Yuan Jiaojiao was a little young, otherwise he would not have let her go to the countryside right after graduating from high school.

"The third brother is really unreasonable." His younger sister had to go by herself to collect firewood, and he, a grown man, didn't know how to lend a hand? It wasn't the time to stock up on firewood before the winter. Luo Chengxin was dissatisfied when he heard that the two girls could cook for themselves, but they had to go by themselves to collect firewood.

As expected, people's hearts are biased. On one side is the little princess in the family and the girl with whom he has a tacit understanding, and on the other side is the younger brother who has been annoying and tactless since childhood. Luo Chengxin chose to despise his younger brother without hesitation.

After the three of them had finished their meal, they agreed to go to the construction team together.

Fu Biao and Xiong Lijin went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fine grains and seasonings, then took Luo Chengxin and his things and continued riding their bicycles.

I don’t know if it was because they were full, but they both went back a lot faster.

When we rode to the fields outside the construction brigade, the villagers were busy with their work, and the educated youth were no exception.

Jiang Yu was assigned the task of hoeing the fields. This area was going to be used to plant cabbages, so holes had to be dug.

Xue Li worked with her best friend, and she was responsible for sowing seeds and compacting the mud.

Chen Jinghan partnered with an older lady from the village and worked right next to them.

As for why the aunt doesn’t partner with Jiang Yu, it’s naturally because the aunt is old and can’t keep up with Jiang Yu’s pace!

Xue Li moved slowly at first, but after getting used to it, he sped up unconsciously. There was nothing he could do. Jiang Yu swung the hoe mechanically like a perpetual motion machine. The holes he dug were to the same standard as those measured with a ruler. He dug a hole in two strokes. If Xue Li didn't hurry up, he would not be able to catch up.

Chen Jinghan's damn desire to win was forced to emerge. The other person took two moves, while he took three or four. Obviously, he was a human and Jiang Yu was a god, but he gritted his teeth to keep up with Jiang Yu's speed, and he was full of enthusiasm in his heart.

Xue Li occasionally turned around and saw Chen Jinghan with sweat all over his face. She wanted to persuade him, but when she saw his eyes that looked like a bull seeing a red cloth, she couldn't say anything.

Was it to win or lose? No! It was to see the love rival!

Xue Li was speechless, but Xue Li didn't say anything.

Anyway, he will rest when he is tired later. Some people will not accept the reality until they have experienced some hardships.

For example, the physical fitness of ginger fish is really incomparable to that of humans.
