Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 133 Exchange of feelings

Just when Chen Jinghan was trying her best to keep up with Jiang Yu's speed, two bicycles came from afar on the road outside the field.

Luo Chengxin sat in the back seat of Fu Biao's car, turning his head around and observing everything.

Xiong Lijin first saw Luo Xinci, who was sowing seeds with a village aunt. He called out "Brother Chengxin" and pointed him in the direction.

Fu Biao also slowed down the car, ready to drop the person off at any time.

Luo Xinci had been cooperating with the aunt for two days. The two of them were moving forward at a pace they could handle. Suddenly, a voice came from behind her, "Xiaoci!" She thought she had been busying herself and was actually hallucinating.

"Xiaoci." Luo Chengxin called again.

Luo Xinci then turned around, and then he shouted and rushed over in joy, "Brother! Why are you here?"

Luo Chengxin smiled and said, "I came to see you guys. Where's Jiaojiao?"

Luo Xinci chuckled, "Brother, wait a moment. I'll talk to my aunt and ask for leave."

"Go ahead." Luo Chengxin nodded, standing on the edge of the field waiting with a large package in his hand.

Soon Luo Xinci asked for leave and took Luo Chengxin to find Yuan Jiaojiao.

Because it was his brother who came to the countryside to visit them, the people in the team were very understanding. Luo Chengli and the other two all asked for leave and returned to the educated youth site with Luo Chengxin.

Chen Jinghan was hoeing the ground backwards, so she didn't see Luo Chengxin coming and was busy with her own work.

It was when Luo Chengxin walked over that he saw the familiar figure and called out to him.

"Brother Chengxin!" Chen Jinghan threw away the hoe in surprise and strode forward.

Luo Chengxin patted his shoulder and said, "Not bad, your muscles have become much stronger."

"Brother Chengxin, why are you here all of a sudden?" Chen Jinghan asked, and then turned his eyes to Luo Xinci who followed him and ran to the other side of the field. Suddenly he realized, "Luo Xinci is your sister?"

"Yes." Luo Chengxin nodded. "My family received a letter and are worried about them, so I came to visit them as a representative." I'll also tell you about the business situation in H City.

"How long do you plan to stay?" Chen Jinghan thought that he should play the role of a good host. Although they were also outsiders, they had lived here for at least a year.

"We have to leave tomorrow afternoon and take the evening train back." Although Luo Chengxin does not have a fixed job, he cannot be away from people for a long time because of his private business.

"Okay, then you stay with your sister first, and we'll have a good meal tomorrow at noon." Chen Jinghan made an appointment with him, and it just so happened that he also had some things to communicate with this partner.

Luo Chengxin nodded, then walked aside and stopped disturbing him while he was working.

Xue Li and Jiang Yu exchanged glances, thinking that they would be able to eat another melon when they returned to the educated youth point later, and they immediately felt happy and looked forward to it.

Luo Xinci quickly pulled Yuan Jiaojiao over. The girl, who was tanned a lot and had sweat all over her face, ran towards Luo Chengxin feeling a little embarrassed but excited.

The two people who already had a tacit understanding looked at each other. Luo Chengxin's eyes were gentle, and Yuan Jiaojiao's were also full of friendship.

"Let's go back to the educated youth site to put our things first." Luo Chengxin was also feeling a little hot from the sun, so he was the first to speak up.

Together with Luo Chengli who was dragged over by Luo Xinci, the four of them returned to the educated youth point together.

Over there, Fu Biao and Xiong Lijin had already started packing up.

The gate of the educated youth center was open, and intermittent voices could be heard coming from the backyard.

Luo Chengxin felt relieved when he saw this relatively clean youth training center.

Luo Xinci didn't let her brother stay in the front yard for long. She introduced the kitchen and then took him to the back.

"At the beginning of the year, we separated from the old educated youth and built a stove in the alley at the back. Except for the terrible draft in the winter, everything else is fine. If I had known earlier when I built the kang in the room, I should have built a bigger stove instead of just a small one that can only boil water."

Luo Chengxin and Fu Biao nodded and followed Luo Xinci to take a look in the alley. The chopped firewood was neatly arranged at the entrance of the alley, forming an L-shaped corner with the stove, which could also block the wind. A small aisle was left next to it, which would not affect others going to the back.

Yuan Jiaojiao first went to the room to get the food to cook for lunch. Because of Luo Chengxin, she took white rice.

This is also the rice harvested last year. Although the fragrance has faded a little, it is still a rare and good thing.

Xiong Lijin brought over half a cured pheasant and said, "Brother Chengxin has come here with great difficulty, and he must have lunch with his family at noon. I'll give you this piece of pheasant as an additional dish." He exchanged this with Jiang Yu.

The main reason is that Yi Chi’s cooking skills are so good. When they have good things on hand, they will exchange them with Jiang Yu for some meat to satisfy their hunger.

Luo Chengxin didn't refuse. He had brought a lot of food with him anyway and had planned to share some with them.

Luo Xinci took the chicken with a smile, and looked happily at the almost translucent sebum part against the light, "Wow, we are in for a treat!" She had exchanged dishes with Jiang Yu last time, and got chicken stewed with mushrooms in exchange for canned fish. It was so delicious that it made me dizzy.

Xiong Lijin and the other man still had to prepare lunch for the small group, so they didn't continue chatting with them. They went to the front yard to fetch some water and then started to get busy.

Recently they have fallen in love with the steamed corn bread made from cornmeal. The pure grain aroma and chewy texture are mainly due to their Hercules ginger fish. The cornmeal is ground very finely, so the steamed corn bread is not choking at all.

Fu Biao moved quickly and started making steamed corn bread after the dough had risen.

Next to him, Xiong Lijin was washing vegetable leaves and soaking mushrooms, preparing to stir-fry mushrooms and vegetables for lunch. He cracked eggs into a bowl, beat them quickly with chopsticks, and stir-fried chives. He also had some dried seafood he brought back from the south, soaked clam meat, and cooked a loofah soup.

The two men were busy with their work.

Noises also began to be heard from the alley next door.

Not long after, when Xiong Lijin was squatting by the door packing up the ingredients, he saw the two brothers of the Luo family leaving out of the corner of his eye.

He immediately stood up and exchanged some silent words with Fu Biao by making eye contact. Both grown men looked at him mockingly, as if they were enjoying the fun.

The gong sounded to signal the end of work, and Jiang Yu and a few others returned to the educated youth site carrying hoes and baskets.

Just then, I met Luo Chengli, who was limping towards me from a distance with a painful expression on his face and grinning.

Luo Chengxin, who was behind, was holding two bundles of firewood in his hands.

This is a man with a lively eye. Xue Li felt that this brother was much stronger than Luo Chengli.

Not long after, Li Fenfang also walked into the educated youth site. Looking at the Luo siblings and Yuan Jiaojiao moving tables and chairs to prepare to eat in the yard, she hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should go in.

What about her lunch?

It was obvious that they were having a family reunion and couldn't bring her along.

But if she went to cook alone at this time, in front of everyone, she would feel a little embarrassed.

Li Fenfang stood at the entrance of the alley in the front yard, hesitating.
