Chapter 134: Deceiving Deputy Commander Cui
"She's not 100% sure, but there's a 60-70% chance. How about asking our colleagues in Hong Kong Island to look for that Mike?"
Luo Xinxin didn't say anything definite, after all, this Mike was a character she made up.
"If it's true, I promise I won't have to wait until Chinese New Year to take off your hat."
Deputy Commander Cui was in a good mood. If they could really get the blueprints for the new motor, China's industry would take a big step forward. This would be a much greater achievement than catching a few enemy spies. If the higher-ups didn't take off Xiao Luo's hat, it would be unforgivable!
"Then I'll wait for your good news!"
Luo Xinxin smiled with her eyebrows curved. This was her move. She was just waiting for Deputy Commander Cui to ask her to go to Hong Kong Island to find someone.
Li Rong looked at her deeply. The damn girl was so bold that she even dared to lie to the deputy commander.
Deputy Commander Cui asked him to take Luo Xinxin back to the farm. After they left the military area, he asked, "Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
"There are so many foreigners named Mike, and I already said he's a spy from Shikoku. He must be all over the world. How can he be so easy to find?"
Luo Xinxin was not panicked at all. A foreigner named Mike is like a Chinese named Jianguo. It is not that easy to find him.
"You're quite familiar with Hong Kong Island. Are you from there?"
Li Rong was very curious about her previous life.
“No, but I have watched a lot of TVB dramas.”
Luo Xinxin explained to him what TVB was and also talked about a lot of things that happened in later generations.
Hearing that people in later generations traveled in private cars and even private planes, Li Rong couldn't help but smile. China was indeed powerful.
"Your people will definitely not be able to find Mike. When the time comes, you can recommend me. After we go to Hong Kong Island, we can pretend to look for Mike and spend ten days or half a month in Hong Kong Island before returning. It's so nice to travel on public funds."
Luo Xinxin became more and more beautiful as she spoke. She hadn't been able to travel on public funds in her previous life, but she was sure to get one in the 1960s.
In the future, whenever the system releases high-tech products, she will find a way to travel on public funds and travel around the world using public money. It's so beautiful!
"I'll give you some good luck!"
Li Rong was also very excited and hoped to really go on a mission with this girl. It must be very interesting, right?
He drove and soon arrived at the farm. It was already dark, smoke was curling up, and the air was filled with the aroma of various dishes.
Daya and Erya were also cooking. There were only the two of them at home. Erya was in charge of cooking while Daya was in charge of making fire. They only cooked a pot of potatoes, which was their dinner.
Compared with their previous life of having to eat grass due to hunger, they are very content now that they can eat potatoes as much as they want.
"Sister is back!"
Erya went to the door to pour water. She saw Luo Xinxin and Li Rong from afar and ran over happily.
"Are you okay these days?"
Luo Xinxin patted her on the head gently and asked with a smile.
"It's okay. My dad came to ask for money, but Daya beat him into the haystack."
When talking about her biological father, Erya spoke in a nonchalant tone, treating him as a complete stranger. Now her sister is the newest person to them, and everyone else is an outsider.
"Good job, next time you come to ask for money, hit me hard, just don't kill me."
Luo Xinxin praised him highly, saying that a father like Pang's was worse than an animal and was not worthy of the respect of Daya and Erya, so he should be beaten back severely.
"Okay, I'll beat you again next time!"
Erya nodded vigorously and asked Daya to throw it into the manure pit next time. Throwing it into the haystack would be too easy for her father.
"Sister, can I cook noodles for you?"
After entering the house, Erya shoveled out the cooked potatoes from the pot and wanted to cook noodles for them.
"Is this what you're eating?"
Luo Xinxin frowned. No wonder the two sisters looked so pale again after just a few days of not seeing each other.
I'm sure they eat potatoes for every meal when she's not around!
“It’s nice to have this to eat.”
Erya was speaking from the heart, and Daya nodded vigorously. If they could eat potatoes as much as they wanted every day, that would be a heavenly life!
"Don't eat this, I'll cook."
Luo Xinxin washed her hands and prepared to cook rice. She had been craving rice these days at the base.
"If you're hungry, I'll cook you some noodles?"
She asked Li Rong.
"No, I'm eating."
Li Rong refused, saying that good things come late and he could wait.
Luo Xinxin thought about it, pretended to take something out of her bag, and took out a few meat buns that she had just bought from the mall.
"Eat the meat buns first to fill your stomachs."
She gave them two each and ate one herself before she started cooking.
The food at home was ready. The dried meat and fish were basically untouched, and the eggs were also present. The only thing missing was a sack of potatoes.
Luo Xinxin made a dish of stewed carrots and potatoes with dried meat, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, steamed eggplant, steamed dried fish, and mixed cucumbers. The vegetables were all picked from Huang Jinxiang's vegetable garden. She would just serve him a bowl of broth when the time came.
"Xinxin, where have you been these days?"
Huang Jinxiang came to visit with a bowl in his hand. He was also eating steamed eggplant, braised tofu, and sorghum buns from the canteen. After more than two months of hard work, he successfully lost weight and became much slimmer.
"Do something for the director."
When Huang Jinxiang heard that he was working for the director, he was very tactful and immediately changed the subject, saying with a smile: "It smells so good. I'm in for a treat today. Xinxin, if you want to eat vegetables in the future, just come to my place to pick them. We're family, so you're welcome."
"OK."
Luo Xinxin did not refuse. Growing vegetables requires watering with manure, which has a strong smell. She prefers to pick ready-made vegetables from the vegetable garden and enjoy the joy of a good harvest.
Huang Jinxiang grows vegetables very well and is easy to talk to. As long as you give him enough benefits, he will be fine.
"for you."
Luo Xinxin served a large bowl of broth and gave Huang Jinxiang a lot of meat. Huang Jinxiang was flattered and accepted it, his mouth watering. However, he didn't eat it because he had to take it back to share with others.
The vegetable garden was not his sole credit. Jiang Yan and Tu Zhigang also contributed. This big bowl is enough for three people.
"Xinxin, let me tell you the latest news. Ma Quaner and He Meihong have fallen out."
Huang Jinxiang walked to the door, then walked back and told some gossip in a mysterious tone.
"Ma Quaner has no money?" Luo Xinxin guessed.
"That's why I say you're so smart. Wait a minute, I'll take this back and I'll come back to explain it to you in detail later."
Huang Jinxiang really wanted to give a thumbs up, but his hands were busy, so it was inconvenient for him to gossip. He hurried home, divided the broth evenly into three portions, then held his own portion and ran over in a hurry to continue gossiping.
"Ma Quan'er's family property was swindled away by He Meihong, who still owed him a lot. When this woman saw that he had no money, she immediately turned against him and started hooking up with other men. Ma Quan'er caught her in the act, and the two of them had a falling out. Ma Quan asked He Meihong to pay back the money, but she refused. Now they are like enemies."
Huang Jinxiang's tone was particularly gloating, and he felt quite sympathetic towards Ma Quan'er. He was originally the richest young man in the farm, but was reduced to a pauper by He Meihong.
"It's his own fault. Even a fly won't bite an egg without cracks. It's his own fault."
Luo Xinxin didn't sympathize with Ma Quaner at all. Both of them were not good people.
There was a commotion outside, along with women's screams. Huang Jinxiang ran out like the wind, then quickly returned, shouting in alarm, "This is terrible! Ma Quan'er has a knife and wants to fight He Meihong to the death!"
