Liu Feng naturally didn't know that his wishful thinking had been seen through. He was still thinking about how to hook Xu Xiangyang to go to the card game with him.

But no one would be fooled even if they thought about it again.

A week passed in a flash. Xu Xiangyang wanted to go back to see Xu Guangtian and his wife at the end of the month.

The last time they came, they left in a hurry. Now that spring planting is over, they are probably free.

He prepared himself, took the things he had bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, and took out some meat from the space.

The weather is hot now, and fresh meat usually doesn’t last long. It will go bad in one or two days.

Xu Xiangyang prepared a pound of fresh meat and took out a few cans of canned meat. This stuff doesn’t need to be stored, you can just open it when you want to eat it.

Carrying a backpack and riding a bicycle, he went home leisurely.

The bicycle is old, and if someone asks him about it, he can say that he borrowed it or bought it second-hand.

If I don't ride this thing, when will I get home? Anyway, I'll save myself the trouble.

When we got back to the brigade, it was lunchtime. There was no one on the road and everyone was waiting for lunch at home.

Xu Xiangyang returned home, parked the car in the yard, and went into the house carrying the backpack.

"Oh, why is Goudan back?" Wang Xiumin was cooking when she looked up and saw someone entering the house.

Xu Guangtian, who was lying on the kang, sat up suddenly when he heard this. "Xiangyang is back? I've told you so many times to call you Xiangyang, but you just can't remember."

Xu Xiangyang watched them talking with a smile, then went into the house and put the backpack on the kang.

"Xiangyang, haven't you eaten yet? I'm making it. It will be ready soon." Wang Xiumin wiped her hands and prepared to make a few more pancakes.

Xu Xiangyang nodded, then looked at the potatoes stewing in the pot and took out a can of pork belly and poured it in.

He put the jar aside, thinking it could be used to store things after washing. He then said to Wang Xiumin, "There are a few more jars in the backpack. Save them for stewing later."

The couple were no longer surprised when he brought something home. Even if Xu Xiangyang took out a pig from the basket on his back, it was a normal scene.

"Give us two more pancakes." Xu Guangtian called out. Of course, we have to eat more since there are meat dishes.

Wang Xiumin rolled her eyes, but without stopping, she made two full circles of the pancake.

Everyone was eating in the room when they heard someone talking outside and walking towards them.

Wang Xiumin leaned over the window and took a look. "Why is the captain here?"

She spoke in confusion, but seeing that everyone was about to enter the house, she couldn't just sit on the kang the whole time, right?

Xu Guangtian was pushed by Wang Xiumin, then stood up and left.

"The team leader is here. We don't have to work today." He greeted him and led him into the house.

Their family has fenced off a separate yard, so they only go out after others enter the yard. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if the team leader went to someone else’s house?

The team leader was a man in his fifties, wearing a hat and holding a pipe in his hand.

After the two entered the house, Xu Xiangyang greeted them with a smile, "Uncle Liu is here."

According to seniority, he has to call people "uncle".

Team leader Liu Hai nodded and said with a smile, "Xiangyang is back. How's work going?"

He had heard that Xu Xiangyang was now a driver and had a house in the city. He was really living a very successful life.

Just now when he entered the yard, he saw a bicycle parked there. He was really capable of owning a bicycle.

In fact, the brigade also has a car, which was bought specifically for use and does not belong to Liu Hai.

It was very rare for a family to own a bicycle. They would walk or take a bullock cart when going out.

Xu Xiangyang nodded. "It's pretty good. It's vacation time now, so I came back to see my dad and the others."

Looking at the food on the table and the big pieces of pork, everyone knew that they were living a good life.

Liu Hai couldn't help but smacking his lips. See? The Xu family even cut off ties with others, and they all ate big pieces of meat.

Life is getting better and better, but the Xu family is nothing now.

I heard that I can’t go to university anymore. My only hope is to work as a scorer in the brigade.

"That's great, Xiangyang has made progress. You two are enjoying your life." Liu Hai said with emotion.

When Xu Guangtian heard this, he agreed very much and then boasted about it to others.

Seeing that he was getting more and more interested, Liu Hai quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, I just came to see Xiangyang and asked if there were any things outside that didn't require a ticket. I'd definitely pay a lot for them if I could bring some back for us."

In fact, he had been thinking about this for a long time. He heard that Xu Xiangyang was able to travel on business, so he must have been to many places. If he happened to come across something that didn't require a ticket, he could just give everyone a little more money to bring it back.

Xu Xiangyang didn't expect that he came here for this matter, so he hesitated.

The hesitation is because he can't go on a business trip recently. After all, he is still in the recovery period, so it is definitely impossible for him to drive.

Everyone else looked at Xu Xiangyang, wanting to hear his answer.

Xu Xiangyang slowed down and said, "Uncle Liu, I haven't been driving recently because of arm problems. How about this, I will start driving next month, and I will bring back some things. You can take a look at what everyone needs and leave it. Of course, the price must not be low."

If you work so hard on something, you can't not make money, right?

Not to mention that he is the team leader, even if a high-ranking official comes, he has to pay for the things he buys.

Liu Hai didn't seem unhappy when he heard this. Instead, he smiled. "Okay, Xiangyang, I'll leave this matter to you. I've always believed in you!"

Xu Xiangyang rolled his eyes in his heart. Come on, he has never looked anyone in the eye since he was a child.

But since we are cooperating, don't say bad things.

He smiled and nodded, then saw Liu Hai off. Outside, Xu Guangtian escorted him out the door before he walked back.

Xu Guangtian saw two people peeking out of the Xu family's yard. Upon closer inspection, he found that they were Xu Guangshan and Zhang Xiufen.

He pretended not to see it and went back into the house.

Ever since Zhang Xiufen caused trouble last time and said that the two families would sever ties, they haven't spoken to each other since.

After returning, Zhang Xiufen also told others and they broke off their relationship.

For a while, many people were laughing at the Xu family. Giving up such a promising grandson and holding on to an older grandson who couldn't even graduate from college, what else could that be but stupidity?

Xu Guangtian ignored them and just cut off contact. After all, so many years had passed and they had never really cared about these three people.

Wang Xiumin kept praising Xu Xiangyang in the room, saying that he had become successful and capable, and that the team leader now came to their family to do things.

Of course, in her heart, her son is definitely more capable.

Xu Xiangyang looked at her proud expression with a smile, and felt that there was nothing wrong in helping others in this way.

He stayed at home that night and set off at six o'clock the next morning because he still had to go to work.
