Lin Qingsong discovered that his brother had really changed too much these days, and he even came to pick up Secretary Yu every day. The two of them did a good job of keeping secrets. They weren’t at the gate of the Mine every time, and only met on the way to the City. If he hadn’t been on the same road with Secretary Yu every day, he wouldn’t know that his brother was so patient.
On weekends, his brother also left early in the morning. Before leaving, he still smiled and said, “Qingsong, there are some things to master, but don’t let bad people get in.”
When Lin Qingsong heard this, he was immediately depressed, wasn’t he just supposed to have a meal with Xu Hong? Really, what else could happen?
Then he thought, something is not right, Secretary Yu even knew about this, didn’t she know that he was in contact with Xu Hong?
Feeling depressed, he felt this meal must be eaten.
Of course, He and Xu Hong can’t just eat by themselves for nothing, that would be embarrassing. After getting dressed, he went downstairs and knocked on the door to find Liu Hongjun.
Liu Hongjun was being locked up by his parents and was not allowed to go out. He was very happy to see Lin Qingsong coming. He turned around and yelled, “Mom, Brother Song has something to do with me, I’m going out.”
Mother Liu did not agree with him to go out. But Lin Qingsong is the younger brother of Lin Qingbai, and he is a College Student, so he is more reliable than her own son. So she just waved and said, “Go.”
Liu Hongjun flew like a wild horse, dragged a pair of shoes, and went out.
“Brother Song, what’s the matter, We haven’t seen each other for a long time recently?”
Drinking spicy food without fragrant, Liu Hongjun has been really uncomfortable for a while. Even the girl, Xu Hong didn’t know what was going wrong, she went back from school early every day, and sometimes she didn’t even go to class at all. A few days later, he was going to take an exam, and he was squeezed dry by the class lesson for a few days, but Xu Hong was absent in class from time to time and didn’t seem anxious at all.
Lin Qingsong said mysteriously, “Am I not suppossed to take you out to eat delicious food?”
When Liu Hongjun heard the words, his eyes lit up, “Brother Song, you still treat me best.”
Fortunately, he used to think about Brother Song as an enemy for his old man, but he was so kind to him, and he was even the one who smoked him all day long, when he still consider him as an enemy.
When the two arrived at the Hotel’s Restaurant in a hurry, Xu Hong was already waiting. Wearing a blue skirt, the two braided hair ends are wrapped with colorful hair ropes, and they look like they have been well-dressed.
“Xu Hong?”
Seeing Xu Hong here, Liu Hongjun was surprised. He looked at Xu Hong who was cramped, and then at Lin Qingsong.
Lin Qingsong wondered, “What’s wrong? Today Xu Hong invited you to dinner, didn’t you know?”
Liu Hongjun looked at him without knowing it, and he knew what was going on. It turned out that Xu Hong invited Brother Song to dinner, but Brother Song thought he was inviting them together. If Brother Song didn’t go to find him, Xu Hong and Brother Song will eat together today.
Although he usually messes around, he is not stupid. When he thinks about it, he knows what is REALLY going on. People are looking at Brother Song and WANTS to kick himself AWAY!
There was a panic on Xu Hong’s face, and her face flushed anxiously. She didn’t expect Lin Qingsong to call Liu Hongjun over today. “Liu Hongjun, I know you live close to Brother Song, so…”
“Really? Alright, let’s go in and eat first.” Liu Hongjun said with a cold face.
Lin Qingsong looked at the two innocently, then pulled Liu Hongjun and whispered to him, “What? Did I do something wrong?”
“No, Brother Song, you did a good job, you are really my good brother.” Liu Hongjun said with a serious face. If Brother Song didn’t regard him as a brother, Xu Hong would post it like this. Who wouldn’t think about it? Brother Song would treat him as a brother and Xu Hong would treat Brother Song as the will-be-partner. He should’ve seen it coming.
Entering the hotel, Oda saw Lin Qingsong, and immediately greeted him. Seeing Xu Hong’s fancy dressing up behind him, she suddenly tilted her mouth. What kind of person is this? She’s dressed like a vixen, didn’t she know who she was going after?
“Brother Song, what do you want to eat today, I have left some big white noodles for you.” Oda whispered.
Lin Qingsong smiled and squinted, “Oda, I know that you are good to me, but today it is Comrade Xu Hong’s treat. You can give me a few suitable ones.”
When Xiaotian heard that Xu Hong was inviting him, she glanced at Xu Hong and said with a false smile, “Okay, then I will give you a few suitable ones. Keep your food well.”
After speaking, she twisted her round waist and entered the large kitchen.
The three of them sat down, and Liu Hongjun’s face was dark. Xu Hong looked at him nervously, and then at Lin Qingsong.
Lin Qingsong handed out chopsticks to the two of them, “Be happy when we come out to eat. Liu Hongjun, your face is so stern lately, Is there something wrong?”
Liu Hongjun gritted his teeth and couldn’t help but give Lin Qingsong face. His face eased a bit, but Xu Hong didn’t care much.
Xu Hong bit her lip, holding chopsticks in her hand, and seeing Liu Hongjun not looking at herself, she looked at Lin Qingsong pitifully. With tears in her eyes, she looks so inviting.
Oda looked at her like this in the kitchen window, gritted her teeth, and said to the master, “Uncle, let’s get some of the meat we have left. Minister Lin’s brother is here for dinner, we can’t treat them badly. “
They heard that it was Minister Lin’s younger brother, so the master cut a piece of meat without saying a word. Their eldest son wants to enter the Armed Forces Department, and Minister Lin has to nod his head, but he can’t make the family unhappy.
After a while, Oda came out with the tray. Braised pork in brown sauce, braised pork with vermicelli, and steamed buns. The person sitting next to them look at the food in greedy eyes. Such a good thing, even if you have food stamps, you can’t eat it.
“Oda, why did you give all the good things to brother Qingsong?” Someone joked.
Most of the people who eat here are working in the Country Party Committee, and everyone knows Lin Qingsong. Because the Lin brothers are doing well in the Country Party Committee, no one is jealous of their food. Can you eat bad food, especially when you came from the capital?
Oda took a sip, “I’ll give you good food, but your wife is not here yet to tear down our restaurant. I have a baby in the family to raise, aren’t you worried about this little thing?”
Others who heard this, were feeling embarrassed to talk back. There are people in the family who have children. It is true that one bite less is good, if more food are exchanged to let the children eat. Occasionally, they just come out to fight for bargains in the Black Market to get good deals.
When the food was on the table, Xu Hong rounded her eyes wide. How much food and meat stamps would it take to eat these? She is going to fry two small dishes, just get some shredded pork, and buns with white flour and sorghum buns.
Lin Qingsong looked at the food on the table and said with a smile, “Comrade Xu Hong, this meal is really rich today, thank you so much for inviting me here. Come, let’s eat it all, we are blessed today.”
After speaking, he took the chopsticks and ate the food in-front of him.
Liu Hongjun heard that Xu Hong asked Lin Qingsong to eat so well. She had never invited him to a meal before. His teeth were itchy and he took his chopsticks to eat.
Xu Hong stared at the things on the table blankly, and then figured out whether her food stamps and meat stamps could pay for such a meal.
Oda was leaning against the kitchen door, eating sunflower seeds, and watching them intently. She was glaring to that girl, while she watches them eating.
Meanwhile, Inside the blue brick house, the fragrance surrounds the room.
Xu Nannan looked at a pot of Chicken soup with a smile on her face.
Finally, I was able to pay off Brother Lin. They ate a Pheasant soup last time, so this time they will eat a Chicken soup. The Chicken is bought in Taobao, but the goods are not of the same quality. Last time, she bought one and took it home for Grandma Yu to eat. Grandma Yu ate it in one bite and asked what kind of Chicken it was. Xu Nannan dare not say that it grew up eating Chicken feed. But even though the goods are not the same, it’s still a Chicken anyway, so it’s fine if you can nourish your body.
She served Lin Qingbai a bowl of soup, Lin Qingbai took a sip, and smiled, “Last time, I bought you a Pheasant soup, and now you buy me a Chicken soup. Then what should I buy you next time we eat? Or, I will take you out tomorrow. I asked Oda to leave some good things for me.”
“I can’t, I will not work tomorrow, I have to go back to the Village.” Xu Nannan said.
“Go back to your Village?” Lin Qingbai pursed his lips, “Why are you going back suddenly?”
“I seldom go back after I come here. The two younger brothers at home are on summer vacation. I will send some food to the family and ask them if they want to live in the city for a while.” She had promised the two boys before. She can’t break her promise to them.
Although she left Xujiacun Village, Xu Nannan never thought that she would not go back in the future. There was the place where she was born again, and where she met Aunt Song Guihua and her family, as well as Teacher He.
Thinking of Teacher He, Xu Nannan felt extremely uncomfortable. He should be on Northwest Farm now, she doesn’t know how he is now.
Lin Qingbai took a sip of the soup and said, “Then I will accompany you tomorrow. If you can’t catch the bus, you can’t come back at night. I will accompany you back to your Village.”
Xu Nannan was a little embarrassed and said, “Brother Lin, will it be too troublesome?” The key is to take Brother Lin back. If others see it, will they just think about it?
“No, I happen to be going to the villages and towns below to see the situation. It’s impossible to always sit in the Armed Forces Department and do nothing.”
Hearing what he said, Xu Nannan couldn’t refuse it. She nodded with a smile, “Well then, thank you for accompanying me back to my Village”
When Xu Nannan was sent home in the afternoon, Lin Qingbai went to the Supply and Marketing Agency. When he came back, Lin Qingsong also came back, lying on the mattress humming a little song and fanning his face with a fan.
Seeing his brother came back, he was still a little dissatisfied.
Humph, he knew I would go out on a date and threw his brother at home. Fortunately, he was not idle either, and he had a good meal today. There is also the look of Liu Hongjun’s silly boy wearing a green hat, and he is happy just thinking about it.
“Brother, help me talk to Secretary Yu. I really didn’t interact with Lao Xu’s family, and I made her angry.”
Lin Qingbai wiped his face, hearing this, he said lightly, “She is not as naive as you. But you, when you return to the Capital, Auntie sent a telegram over and she may be able to come to Nanjiang City in a while. So be mentally prepare yourself. “
“Huh?” Lin Qingsong jumped up immediately, “What will she be doing here in Nanjiang City? Really, I didn’t see her caring about me so much when I was at home, but now she is concerned?”
“Anyway, you have to be mentally prepared. Also, don’t intervene in Nannan’s affairs, and don’t be unhelpful to her at that time.”
“Don’t worry, I have a sense of measure,” Lin Qingsong said depressed.
Early the next morning, Xu Nannan carried 30 kilograms of dried noodles and fine grains, then she walked to the station. There is no way, she could bring more food back, and she can’t carry them. Instead of bringing coarse grains, it is better to bring back some fine grains. The brothers’ body can grow well if they eat it. Granny Chen can eat more if she doesn’t have teeth. Aunt Song Guihua and her uncle will be reluctant to eat, but they can also eat more whole grains, so they don’t have to starve.
When she arrived at the station, Lin Qingbai was already waiting there, carrying a sack in his hand.
Seeing that Xu Nannan came over with things on her back, he helped her put the things together and put the two bags together.
Xu Nannan looked at the sack with some blood stains, and asked, “Brother Lin, what is this? Where did this come from?”
“I used it to get a pig thigh at the Supply and Marketing Agency.”
Hearing this, Xu Nannan’s eyes widened. Pig thigh, this thing is too difficult to buy, more difficult to buy than the old Chicken. The Supply and Marketing Agency can also get this pig thigh every day, but every time you ask, it is definitely sold out. Good things are always sold out. The same goes for queuing in the early morning. Looking at Lin Qingbai again, she couldn’t help but scream. As expected, there is someone in the City, who can do things well.
When the bus came, Lin Qingbai carried a bag in one hand and got on the bus lightly, Xu Nannan quickly followed.
When she got into the bus, someone in the bus saw the bag carried by the two of them.
Taken from the City to the Countryside, it must be a good thing. An old lady said, “Girl, this is the only right way to get married, right?”
Xu Nannan was stunned before she heard what it meant, and suddenly made a big blush, “No, no, he will just go back with me to have a look.”
The old lady thought she was embarrassed, and she smiled and said, “What’s the embarrassment for? We are all adults here. This is not for the New Year Holidays. If you don’t return to the door to get married, can you still bring so many things back?”
She looked at Lin Qingbai who was sitting right next to Nannan, “You have found such a generous spirit, you are not wrong in getting married to him.”
Xu Nannan’s face was flushed. To be honest, she doesn’t believe it anymore. She secretly glanced at Brother Lin, and fortunately, his face was quite normal, and he didn’t think about it crookedly.
Lin Qingbai straightened his neckline next to her and let out a sigh of relief without her noticing.
When someone helped carry things, Xu Nannan felt that it was much easier. Lin Qingbai was carrying things in front of her. She followed behind, and she felt that something was wrong. But Brother Lin didn’t realize that she didn’t say anything, and she was too embarrassed to say it. Otherwise, it seems that oneself thinks too much.
When she reached near the Village, she pointed at the mountain, where she lived before, she pointed to it, “Brother Lin, I lived there before, and it was a farm shed. I’ll show it to you later.”
“Okay,” Lin Qingbai also looked at that side for a while before responding.
When they arrived in the Village, she saw the brothers wearing shorts with their upper body naked, digging holes under the trees, and a group of children surrounded them. The two small bald heads are now kept as small flat heads. There is a sense of standing out among a group of children.
“Mutou, Shitou!”
Xu Nannan shouted with a smile.
The two boys looked back, and saw that their sister is back. The two ran over there to greet their big sister.
“Sister! Sister Nannan!”
The two children rushed over and hugged Xu Nannan’s waist, “Sister, why are you back? Is it because, we are on a vacation? “
“I know that you are on a holiday. I promise that, I will come back to pick you up so that you could go to the city to play around.”
When they heard that they were going to the city, Mutou and Shitou’s eyes got rounder and rounder, and the corners of their mouths were wide. When they were just about to say something, when they saw Lin Qingbai next to Xu Nannan. The two took Xu Nannan aside and whispered, “Sister, who is this uncle?”
