Lian Xiaomin entered the west room and saw Brother Will leaning on the kang, smoking leisurely, and even making himself a cup of tea.

"You really know how to enjoy yourself. You should experience working in the fields for a while."

Lawrence Lu’s hair was wet, and it looked like he had taken a shower.

When you go out, tell him to do whatever he wants since no one is home.

He raised his chin, pursed his lips, and curved his mouth into a beautiful arc. He looked at the person who came in and said, "If you don't see it with your own eyes, how can you know how hard I work? The hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui bought the land and built it from scratch."

"I spent a lot of time this year working on the construction site, covered in dust all day long. Ali said I didn't look like a big brother at all. I was just a hard laborer moving goods at the dock. Haha, I would rather work in the fields."

Lian Xiaomin imagined his appearance in her mind, which was indeed very incongruous, so she also laughed.

"Okay, you've suffered a lot. Is it beautiful? I'll go check it out next month. Come, try the braised pork and sweet and sour pork from the state-owned restaurant. This is the soul of Northeastern cuisine!"

He took out all the lunch boxes and placed them on the kang table, then took out two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks.

Lawrence Lu looked at the half-palm-sized piece of sweet and sour pork and commented: “Sure enough, the style of the dish is bold.”

Lian Xiaomin picked up a big piece and put it into her mouth.

Look at her fair and tender little face, as white as a peeled egg, maybe she just came back from outside, there are still a few tiny beads of sweat hanging on her temples. At this moment, she is concentrating on chewing the meat with a grin, and she is eating it with such relish.

This little look was so adorable that Lawrence Lu couldn’t help but reach out and gently wipe the sweat off her forehead and temples with the back of his hand.

"You don't move your mouth when you eat, why do you move your hands? Eat quickly!"

Since he was the person she liked, she didn't mind these little intimate actions and continued to concentrate on eating, not caring about anything else.

"Amin, it's great to have dinner with you."

After saying that, he also started eating, as if whatever he put into his mouth was a delicacy.

…

The sun gradually set, and after dark, Lian Xiaomin and Lu Guanjie quietly went out with their packed luggage.

They left the village along the path at the foot of the mountain and walked more than three miles towards the commune before Lian Xiaomin asked him to wait there for a while and went into the woods to drive a truck out.

The truck bed was completely enclosed with a green rainproof cloth and contained enough gasoline. Just like last time, one could refuel on the road.

There are also mattresses, bamboo mats, three large plastic buckets filled with water, washbasins, lunch boxes, and simple cooking utensils.

I also brought a few watermelons, which are great for quenching thirst on the road and they won’t go bad.

She got in the driver's seat and drove the truck out.

Lawrence Lu thought that these were all prepared by her during the day, so he didn’t ask any more questions and sat directly in the passenger seat.

The car started again and drove all the way to a fork in the road next to the commune before stopping. Sun Xuefeng had been waiting there in the dark. He came over, greeted them, and got on the back of the car.

Lu Guanjie knew that Sun Xuefeng would also accompany him on this trip to Fengtian. There are always weak soldiers under a strong general. Since he is Amin's most loyal subordinate, he must have extraordinary abilities.

Sun Xuefeng sat in the back bed of the truck, turned on the flashlight and took a look. He saw the familiar recipe, familiar equipment, and haha, those plump watermelons. They were truly the eternal work of the little boss.

Some supplies were packed in sacks and stacked aside. He was leaning on a bag of food, closing his eyes and resting.

…

Lian Xiaomin drove all the way north. Fengtian is about 250 kilometers northeast of Jianye County in a straight line, but given the road conditions in the 1970s, it would take until dawn to get there.

In the past, Mr. Qian often went to Fengtian and told her the route and the checkpoints to avoid, so she already had a clear idea of ​​it.

She glanced at Lawrence Lu from the side, only to find that he was leaning against the backrest, turning his head to look at her intently.

"Just close your eyes and go to sleep. I'm fine. We'll have a lot of hard work to do when we get to Fengtian in the morning."

"In fact, you should have been allowed to rest for two more days, but I felt that there was no time to lose. I was worried that Sun Xuefeng's family would be at risk if they stayed in the county town for too long."

Lawrence Lu really hadn’t recovered completely from the fatigue of riding the train, but he had a strong physique, so there was no problem.

"I'm fine, don't worry... I was thinking that you should have done the same thing last time, taking turns driving with Afeng and rushing towards me..."

Lian Xiaomin smiled: "You are so beautiful! We are going to Hong Kong~ and heading towards you! You are just an accident~"

She suddenly felt a little emotional and said quietly, "Everything is a huge coincidence. If I hadn't been short of money that day and didn't have enough Hong Kong dollars to buy a house, if the real estate agent hadn't told me about the underground casino at Rongfa Hotel, but told me about some other place..."

"If I hadn't changed my mind halfway and continued to follow Fatty Xu to Big Boss Rong's villa..."

Lawrence Lu continued her words: “If I hadn’t made this impromptu decision that night to go find the big boss Rong to avenge his family, then we wouldn’t have been able to meet, don’t you think?”

For some reason, when I suddenly heard his last word "if", everything that happened late that night a year ago, all those scenes, suddenly all came to my mind at once, and I inexplicably felt a strong throbbing in my heart.

The memory kept flashing in her mind like a movie: after Lawrence Lu was shot, he actually tried his best to turn over and block the second bullet for herself... and at that time, she and he were just strangers.

At that moment, this person was lying on his back. He felt so close to death. He carried him all the way home, performed surgery on him, and then took care of him for several days. The two of them spent every day together and talked about everything...

Lawrence Lu walked into his heart unknowingly.

Until this moment, Lian Xiaomin suddenly felt a sense of fear in her heart.

If Adong's bullet had deviated by two inches that day and hit the heart instead of the shoulder, then everything about this person would have vanished like smoke... How unimaginable this is!

It turned out that he was so important to me.

…

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Lawrence Lu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the person in front of him was thinking.

He straightened up, leaned forward slightly, looked into her eyes, and suddenly discovered that there were sparkling tears in those eyes!

"Amin, what's wrong with you?"

He stretched out his left hand, placed it on her right hand that was on the steering wheel, and gently stroked it.

Lian Xiaomin stared straight ahead into the darkness and spoke slowly, "It seems that I am indeed running towards you."

This damn fate.

Suddenly hearing her say this, Lawrence Lu raised the corners of his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that he had won Amin's heart and her promise.

Endless tenderness suddenly surged in my heart. Perhaps this is the unique state of mind of someone who falls in love!
