Zhang Weifang looked at the hateful woman in front of him, feeling disgusted from the bottom of his heart. He felt sick if he looked at her for any longer than a second.

Zhang Weifang pulled Hu Zi and sped up, ignoring Wu Huani's shouting behind him.

The two men around Wu Huani are Ling Dagang and Wu Youming. The three of them are from the same village. They have been playing together since childhood and have always had a good relationship.

Wu Huani has a stepmother who has given her a laissez-faire education since she was a child. Her family does not care about her affairs at all, so Wu Huani has become a sloppy and undisciplined person.

Since she was a child, the girls in the village didn't want to play with her, so she could only play with boys. When she grew up, everyone around her knew her character, so no one wanted to marry her.

Wu Huani is 19 years old this year. She is both inferior and proud. She thinks that no one in the village is worthy of her and that the man who can marry her must be rich.

Wu Huani has been casting her net wide since she was 17, but she has never found a satisfactory candidate.

Three years ago, she thought Lu Shi was a good candidate, handsome and capable, but before she could make a move, something happened to Lu Shi, and Wu Huani quickly gave up on this candidate.

In the past few years, she has been going in and out of the black market with Ling Dagang and Wu Youming, and has met many men. Unfortunately, the ones she likes don't like her, and the ones who like her are always dissatisfied with her.

As she got older, she was a little anxious. Just a few months ago, Lu Shi came out, and Uncle Hei asked them to come to Lu Shi to keep in touch with him.

When Wu Huani saw Lu Shi in person, she found that he was almost the same as he was three years ago, and her heart immediately became hot again.

Lu Shi had no burden and his family had their own house, which met her criteria for choosing a partner, so Wu Huani decided to marry him.

She came several times but didn't see Lu Shi. She was already unhappy, and then Zhang Weifang hit her on the head, which made her even angrier.

So, when Wu Huani saw Zhang Weifang being so relaxed and at ease, she wanted to curse, and wanted Zhang Weifang to apologize and compensate her for all her expenses.

Zhang Weifang's disregard made Wu Huani's eyes red with anger:

"Dagang, Youming, you saw it, right? How could she be so arrogant?"

"Don't be impatient. Let's meet Brother Seventeen first." Ling Dagang was very smart. He knew that he didn't know Zhang Weifang's background, so he couldn't offend her for the time being.

Lu Shi also heard the noise outside, and his mood suddenly became irritated. He had already told them not to come to him again, but he didn't expect these people to not listen at all.

Lu Shi stood up and opened the door with a cold face:

"Come in!"

Ling Dagang and the other two saw from afar that Lu Shi had a tense face, expressionless face, and eyes as cold as ice. The whole atmosphere seemed to be shrouded in an invisible chill.

Their hearts tightened, and an inexplicable sense of tension surged in their hearts. Despite this, they still followed Lu Shi's footsteps and stepped carefully into the yard.

Every step seemed extremely heavy, as if stepping on cotton, for fear of causing Lu Shi's dissatisfaction or anger.

Ling Dagang walked in last, and he consciously closed the door:

"Brother Seventeen!"

"Please sit down." Lu Shi held a cigarette in his hand. The rising smoke drowned out his expression, making it difficult to see his face.

The three of them were nervous, but finally sat down on the stool tremblingly.

"What are you doing here?" Lu Shi asked casually, but Ling Dagang's heart tightened. He could hear that Lu Shiqi was angry.

Ling Dagang didn't dare to say anything, so he just made up an excuse:

"Nothing...we just came to see you."

"Don't come here again. I've already torn my relationship with Uncle Hei. Under normal circumstances, I don't want to cause harm to innocent people. Do you understand?"

Lu Shi's words had made it very clear that the contest between him and Uncle Hei was not something that a bunch of minions like them could participate in. If they were implicated, they would have to blame themselves for their bad luck.

Ling Dagang has always been smart. As soon as Lu Shi finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye and left. Wu Huani was reluctant to leave, so she was dragged away by the other two people.

It is June now. There is a locust tree in the alley, and the locust flowers are in full bloom. As you walk into the alley, bursts of locust fragrance come to you, with a hint of sweetness and a hint of floral fragrance.

After school, the children gathered under the locust tree and asked their parents to pick locust flowers for them to eat.

The locust tree is tall and big, and most people cannot reach the locust flowers on it. Some people with dexterity made a claw hook with thick iron wire and took a group of children to hook locust flowers.

Hu Zi and Maomao also joined in the fun. Each of them grabbed a bunch of locust flowers in each hand and ate them with relish.

There were a lot of people under the locust tree, so Zhang Weifang did not follow them. With Aunt Feng there, she was not worried about Hu Zi's safety.

It was too hot, so Zhang Weifang prepared to eat cold noodles in the evening. Just as she had finished kneading the noodles, Hu Zi came back. His clear and loud voice could be heard from two miles away:

"Mom, I'm back."

"Okay, drink some water first." There was a glass of cold water on the small wooden table in the yard. Hu Zi picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

"Mom, look, these are the locust flowers Uncle Jin gave me."

Zhang Weifang looked down and saw a bunch of locust flowers on the table. They were already in full bloom, not just newly grown buds.

She picked it up and took a bite. It tasted okay, but not as good as the tender sprouts.

"Mom, I want to eat this tonight." Hu Zi made his suggestion again.

"Okay, then scramble some eggs with the Sophora japonica flowers."

After Zhang Weifang finished speaking, she took the locust flowers to the kitchen, soaked them in cold water for a while, then wrung out the water and put them in a bowl.

Beat three eggs in a bowl, mix the eggs and locust flowers together, then add salt to the bowl, and finally put it in the electric baking pan and spread it into an omelet.

Zhang Weifang took a bite of the locust flower eggs and found them tasted okay, but she didn't like them very much. However, Hu Zi liked them very much. He finished the whole plate of eggs by himself very quickly and didn't even have dinner in the end.

That night, as night fell, the alley was filled with the faint fragrance of locust flowers, and bursts of laughter came from the kitchens of every household. It turned out that everyone had chosen locust flowers as the main dish for dinner.

Some families wash the picked locust flowers and fry them with fresh eggs; others steam the locust flowers and drizzle them with a little sesame oil and minced garlic. The refreshing taste is mouth-watering; some even pick a locust flower and put it in their mouths, chewing it carefully to feel the natural sweetness.

Children were running and playing in the alley, holding bunches of locust flowers in their hands, putting them into their mouths from time to time, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

The old people sat on the bamboo chairs at the door, leisurely savoring the locust flower delicacies and reminiscing about the good old days.

The entire alley seems to be immersed in a sea of ​​locust flowers. People enjoy this gift from nature and feel the strong friendship between neighbors.

This night becomes particularly warm and beautiful because of the locust flowers.
