Men are probably naturally more interested in cars. When Gou Dan heard that Liu Xu drove a big truck, his eyes lit up, and before long he was calling him "Brother Xu" all the time.
Even when Liu Xu tried to pinch his cheeks, he didn't dodge and just smiled as he let Liu Xu pinch them.
"Brother Xu, can you take me to see your car?" Gou Dan, feeling that he had already established a good relationship with Liu Xu, voiced his ulterior motives.
He just saw a car on the road. His sister said that a big truck is a bigger vehicle than a car. It must be so impressive. He really wants to see it. If he could ride in a big truck, he would be laughing in his dreams.
Liu Xu looked at him with amusement and said, "That's not my car. I can't afford a big truck. Those are all trucks belonging to the transport team. If you want to see the trucks, we'll have to go to the transport team."
As he spoke, he looked at Xia Qingqing, asking for her opinion.
Dog Egg cleverly noticed this and immediately looked at his older sister pleadingly: "Sis, I really want to see the big trucks. Can we go to the transport team with Brother Xu? Please."
Gou Dan was always well-behaved in front of Xia Qingqing. Seeing him looking at her expectantly, Xia Qingqing didn't want to disappoint him, so she could only nod in agreement.
"If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to ask Brother Xu to take this little guy to see a doctor."
Liu Xu said, "It's no trouble at all. I'm taking the next two days off, and the truck I'm in charge of is parked at the transport team's station."
At this moment, Liu Dinglan finally came over with two bowls of noodles: "Brother, please take this for me."
"Qingqing, don't let my brother's tough appearance fool you. He's actually a really nice guy, and he talks a lot. There's never a dull moment when you're with him," Liu Dinglan said, praising her brother indirectly.
She personally dislikes men who are quiet and unresponsive, so she thinks her brother's talkativeness is a virtue.
Liu Xu stared at his sister with a dark expression, wondering if she was praising him or insulting him. How could a man being talkative be a virtue? He subconsciously glanced at Xia Qingqing, wanting to see her reaction.
"Yes, that's true. It was very enjoyable chatting with Brother Xu," Xia Qingqing said with a smile.
Liu Xu breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason, and gave his sister a warning look, hoping she would say less.
Liu Dinglan secretly grimaced at her older brother: He doesn't know how to seize the opportunity at all. It seems I'll have to take matters into my own hands if I want a sister-in-law.
Because they had agreed with Liu Xu to go to the transport team to check on the trucks, Xia Qingqing and Gou Dan waited for Liu Dinglan to finish eating after they finished eating.
Liu Xu finished his big bowl of noodles in just a few bites. When they were out driving, they were often in a rush and had urgent tasks, so they habitually cut back on their eating and sleeping time.
Xia Qingqing frowned inwardly as she watched him eat his noodles, thinking that eating so fast was bad for his stomach.
However, she wasn't familiar with Liu Xu and didn't want to rashly remind him, especially since he might not be willing to listen.
When Liu Dinglan saw that three people were waiting for her, she quickened her pace. After finishing a bowl of noodles, she let out a burp and said, "The portions of noodles at state-run restaurants are really generous. I almost ate myself to death."
“I also think that I can’t possibly finish it all by myself,” Xia Qingqing really couldn’t disagree with Liu Dinglan’s words.
The last time she and Gou Dan came to the state-run restaurant, she shared a small portion of the bowl of noodles she ordered with Gou Dan, and she was still quite full.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xu glanced at the skinny Xia Qingqing and said, "You're too thin. You need to eat more. You'll look better if you're a little chubby."
Xia Qingqing subconsciously pinched her chubby cheeks. Was she thin?
I don't think so. The food at home has been much better lately, and she occasionally cooks for herself. She's gained a lot of weight since she first came into this world.
"Brother, can't you speak properly?" Liu Dinglan glared at her older brother.
What kind of person is this? They have absolutely no sense of romance. Qingqing clearly has a perfect figure, right? She's curvy in all the right places and slim in all the right places. She's probably envious of her.
She sadly pinched the extra fat around her waist and secretly decided to start losing weight.
Upon hearing his sister's words, Liu Xu realized that he might have said something wrong, but he didn't understand why. Girls are truly complex creatures.
The four arrived at the transport team, where several colleagues who weren't out driving just happened to be there. Seeing Liu Xu approach, they asked curiously:
"Brother Xu, aren't you supposed to be off today? Why did you come over?"
"Oh, I brought my friend's younger brother to look at cars," Liu Xu said, pointing to Gou Dan walking beside him.
One of her colleagues stared intently at Xia Qingqing, his eyes practically glued to her.
He pulled Liu Xu aside and whispered, "Brother Xu, who's that girl who came with you? Is she your girlfriend?"
Liu Xu frowned slightly, displeased, when he heard the question, but still explained, "My sister's friend."
Upon hearing this, the colleague glanced at Xia Qingqing happily and winked at Liu Xu, saying, "Brother Xu, aren't we good brothers?"
"What do you want to do?" Liu Xu looked at his lewd smile and glanced at him with some disgust.
"Hey, I've got my eye on that girl, can you introduce me to her?" The colleague punched Liu Xu's arm, acting like they were buddies.
Liu Xu pushed his hand away unhappily: "I don't know her well, I don't know if she has a boyfriend. If you like her, go ask her yourself."
He was telling the truth, but his colleague clearly misunderstood.
The colleague thought that Liu Xu must have his eye on the girl too, which was why he didn't want to introduce her to him. He said awkwardly, "Brother Xu, if you liked her, you should have said so earlier. Do you think I would fight you for her?"
He was self-aware enough to know that he couldn't compare to Liu Xu in either looks or family background. What did he have to compete with Liu Xu with? He glanced at Xia Qingqing with some regret. Sure enough, such a beautiful fairy was destined not to belong to him.
As soon as Gou Dan entered the transport team, he saw several large trucks and couldn't contain his excitement: "Wow, sister, look! They really are large trucks, so cool!"
Xia Qingqing was forcibly dragged by Gou Dan to the truck. She was somewhat helpless. She had seen many vehicles before and was really not interested in this truck.
After dismissing his bewildered colleague, Liu Xu noticed Xia Qingqing staring blankly at the truck and asked, "Want to come up and sit for a bit?"
"Is that alright? Then, Brother Xu, let Lele go up and sit for a bit, let him have some fun," Xia Qingqing said with a smile.
Hearing his sister's words, Gou Dan looked at Liu Xu expectantly: "Brother Xu, I want to ride in a big truck."
"Okay, sure," Liu Xu picked up Gou Dan and helped him climb into the driver's seat.
Xia Qingqing was a little surprised. She thought Liu Xu meant the passenger seat. She quickly told Gou Dan, who was sitting in the car, "Lele, don't touch anything in the car, understand?"
"Okay, sister, wow, this car is amazing!" Gou Dan carefully touched this and that, secretly thinking that when he got back, he would be the coolest guy in Shihe Production Brigade.
