Chapter 405 The High Priest on the Train

Luo Xinxin was not surprised. Xiang Ermei was already an independent woman in the new society and there was no need for her to get married again. To put it bluntly, Tu Zhigang was a good colleague and friend, but he might not be qualified as a husband.

She found Tu Zhigang and told him what she meant to her second sister. The man looked gloomy, like an eggplant hit by frost.

Huang Jinxiang couldn't bear to watch any longer and asked, "Did Comrade Xiang tell him the reason? Is there something that Lao Tu did wrong that he can correct?"

"Yes, yes, I can change it."

Tu Zhigang nodded vigorously.

"I told my sister-in-law that Comrade Tu was a good man, but she didn't want to get married. She was living a happy life raising three daughters on her own and didn't want to get married again. She told Comrade Tu to find another woman to marry and not waste his time on her."

Luo Xinxin conveyed Xiang Ermei's original words.

"It must be hard for a woman to take care of three children. It would be great to have a man to help her. Why can't Comrade Xiang understand this?"

Huang Jinxiang didn't understand. He still had the traditional male mindset and thought that women had to get married and couldn't be single.

"Where do you see that Sister Xiang is having a bad life? She has a career, an income, and a child. She's doing so well, so why would she still want to find a man? Comrade Tu, go find another woman to start a family with, and don't let your emotions get to you at work!"

Luo Xinxin retorted angrily that Huang Jinxiang's thoughts represented the vast majority of men, who all believed that women could not survive without men.

Little do people know that men are the source of women's pain.

As long as society provides women with the same conveniences as men, she believes that women will definitely do better than most men.

"I won't confuse public and private matters, Comrade Luo, please rest assured!"

Tu Zhigang hurriedly assured that since he had no interest in the second sister, he would definitely not pester her. As for finding other women, he would just take it as it comes.

"Xinxin, will you attend the Spring Canton Fair next year?" Huang Jinxiang asked with a smile.

"We'll see when the time comes. I'll go when I have time."

Luo Xinxin herself was not sure. With Huang Jinxiang there, sales would definitely be no problem, and it wouldn't make much difference whether she went or not.

After chatting with Huang Jinxiang and others about the prospects of the winery, she went back.

It was getting dark at this time, and Old Mrs. Luo was making dinner, which was still stewed potatoes with cabbage and sorghum buns, but there were also three fried eggs.

"I borrowed the eggs from that girl Chunlan."

Old Mrs. Luo explained awkwardly that she also wanted to make something delicious for her granddaughter, but a good cook cannot cook without rice. There was nothing at home, so she could only fry three poached eggs, which was at least a meat dish.

"I've eaten, you eat yours."

Luo Xinxin didn't want to eat these, so she went back to her room to eat alone.

Old Mrs. Luo was very happy. If her granddaughter didn't eat any, she could eat three fried eggs by herself.

"Besides borrowing twenty yuan from your sister-in-law, what else did you borrow? Don't lie about a single word!" Luo Xinxin asked sternly.

"Just a few eggs."

Old Mrs. Luo lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her.

"How many are there?"

"About ten... maybe fifteen or sixteen."

Old Mrs. Luo felt very aggrieved. At this moment, she especially hoped that Luo Weian was here. If the old man were here, he would definitely not let her suffer this grievance.

Luo Xinxin snorted coldly, slammed the door and left.

She first went to her second sister's house and returned the money for the twenty eggs. Her second sister refused to accept the money, but she insisted on giving it to her.

At night she slept in Daya and Erya's room. Erya was studying in town and came back once a month. She kept the house very clean and the kang was heated, so the room warmed up quickly.

I bought some delicious food from the mall and ate it while sitting on the warm kang. It was such a pleasure.

The next day, Luo Xinxin went to the town and brought back a lot of rice, flour, oil, and some meat. She also left twenty yuan for Old Lady Luo, which was enough for her to last until her monthly salary was paid.

"I've told Sister Xiang that I won't lend you a penny anymore, not even grain or eggs. If you keep spending lavishly, you'll starve to death!"

"Twenty yuan isn't enough. I can't even buy a few bananas..."

"Will you die if you don't eat bananas?"

Luo Xinxin glared at her fiercely, and Old Mrs. Luo shut up in fear. She felt even more aggrieved, as it was another day of missing the old man.

Luo Weian from Nanyang was enjoying a luxurious seafood dinner when he suddenly sneezed. He quickly asked someone to turn down the air conditioner and continued to enjoy his delicious meal.

This decadent and corrupt life was too comfortable. Every day he was wavering between going back and not going back. He had also sounded out Mr. Yang and really hoped that he could stay.

With Mr. Yang's ability, there must be a way to keep him, but Luo Weian doesn't want to stay. He still wants to return to the northwest to be with his granddaughter and great-grandson. He also wants to teach his precious great-grandson the Luo family's medical skills.

But before going back, he must enjoy himself, because he won't be able to enjoy it after he goes back.

Luo Xinxin left Old Lady Luo and returned to the city to continue her vacation, waiting for the organization to arrange for her and Li Rong to go to the United States.

Originally they thought they would be able to set off in a month at most, but until the New Year was approaching, there was no movement from above. Cui Zhiguo said that the people in Beijing had also set their eyes on this big cake and were fighting fiercely for it.

"It's a mess right now, don't get involved. Wait until after the New Year."

Cui Zhiguo's words were vague, but Luo Xinxin understood that the capital city had been very turbulent in recent years. Anyway, the blueprints were in her hands, and the task would be hers sooner or later, so there was no need to rush.

So, she and Li Rong prepared for the New Year in peace.

On the day of the Little New Year, Luo Weian came back and went directly to the family building. Mr. Yang's health had basically returned to normal. He prescribed some medicine to regulate his body. After taking it for another two months, Mr. Yang was back to health.

Luo Weian brought a lot of things, all of which were gifts from Mr. Yang. Most of them were dried seafood, bird's nests and fish maw, which are all nourishing and beauty products for women.

Old Mrs. Luo was there too. She had taken her annual leave early and came to the family building to celebrate the New Year. When she saw these treasures, her eyes lit up. She hadn't eaten bird's nest and fish maw since the accident at home, and her skin had become rough. Naturally, she went to get the bird's nest and stewed it in a while.

But her hand was stopped by Luo Weian, "Don't move, this is not for you."

"You're a man, do you have to eat this?"

Old Mrs. Luo thought he wanted to eat it himself.

"This is for Xinxin. You're an old woman. What's the point of eating these?"

Luo Weian glared at him unhappily.

"She's so young, why does she need to take supplements? I need supplements now that I'm older. Look at me, I've lost weight and haven't had much energy lately..."

Old Mrs. Luo complained aggrievedly, but Luo Weian remained indifferent and handed over all the things he brought to his granddaughter.

Luo Xinxin actually looked down on these things, as they could all be bought in the mall. However, she was still willing to cause trouble for Old Lady Luo, so she locked all the gifts in a box, and she would definitely not take them out to cook while the old lady was around.

Luo Weian stayed in the family building to celebrate the New Year. Li Rong and the Peng family next door borrowed a room for the old couple to live in temporarily.

The Peng family has two rooms. The room for the three daughters has always been empty. Li Guimei filled it with miscellaneous items to prevent others from having any ideas. She was eager to lend it to the Li family so that she could completely shut those people up.

The family housing complex was bustling with preparations for the New Year, while thousands of miles away on the railway, a freight train was heading towards the northwest.

The truck stopped at the station for supplies. A thin little head popped out from the back carriage. His face was as dirty as a harlequin cat. It was the high priest. He wanted to find a place to urinate and get some tap water.
