Brother Lu Jiefang ran to the cafeteria at the speed of light. It was dinner time and there were many people eating in the cafeteria, and the food was still the same as it had been for hundreds of years.

This is the food that the locals love to eat. It is simple to prepare, tastes very good and is very nutritious. It also saves time and effort for the kitchen team, so the canteen makes porridge most of the time. The soldiers also like to eat it, except for a few individuals, including the Lu Jiefang brothers.

After entering the cafeteria, the two brothers slowed down their pace, held their heads high, and Lu Jiefang was still holding the remittance slip tightly in his hand, looking very proud.

This pride was mainly directed at a certain soldier from Shanghai, who lived in the same dormitory with the two brothers. This soldier from Shanghai was called Cui Xiongwei. Although his name sounded very majestic, he himself had fair skin, gentle and handsome appearance.

Cui Xiongwei was also a child of a large military compound. His parents were both from the Shanghai Military Region. Because he was too spoiled, his father couldn't stand it and packed him up and sent him to the border for training.

In fact, he and brother Lu Jiefang are brothers in distress. Both of them were deceived by their own father and suffered. Logically, they should sympathize with each other and love each other.

But even for rookies, there is a chain of contempt.

The Lu Jiefang brothers looked down on Cui Xiongwei's orchid fingers and gave him a nickname behind his back, calling him Eunuch Cui.

Cui Xiongwei looked down upon the brothers' stupidity and called them "gang" (meaning fools) to their faces.

Moreover, he spoke Shanghainese, which sounded like 'Governor of Hong Kong'. He always called him 'Governor of Liberation' and 'Governor of Aid Korea'. The two brothers were quite pleased to hear this at first, thinking that Cui Xiongwei was praising them for being as magnanimous as the Governor of Hong Kong. For a long time, they were too embarrassed to mention Cui behind his back.

But one day, when the two brothers went to the toilet, they heard Cui Xiongwei and others say smugly: "What a pair of fools! I scolded them to their faces, but they didn't understand. They are so stupid!"

Only then did they realize that the Governor of Hong Kong was actually swearing. The two brothers were so angry that they even held their urine. They rushed in, dragged out Cui Xiongwei, who had not even put on his pants, and beat him up severely.

As a result, the two brothers and Cui Xiongwei were all put in solitary confinement, and after they came out, they became irreconcilable.

Even though they lived in the same dormitory and saw each other every day, they never spoke to each other. Even if they did speak, it would be to curse each other.

Although Cui Xiongwei is alone, he has a good family background, is good at winning people's hearts, and has several close brothers, so he is not afraid of the brothers at all and often provokes them.

However, the two brothers are not easy to mess with. Although they are timid, it is only in front of Lu Ye. In public, they are still very good at showing off their power. Moreover, they have no concept of fighting alone. No matter whether they are against one or many, they will fight together.

Therefore, the three of them are currently evenly matched, and no one has gained an advantage.

"The Meilin luncheon meat in Alahu City is absolutely delicious. Come on, everyone, come and try it. My mom just sent it over, and there are two cans of malted milk. I'll give you one can later!"

Cui Xiongwei took a can of luncheon meat and generously distributed it to his comrades. Malted milk was the most popular at the time and tasted very good. He saw the Lu Jiefang brothers from the corner of his eye, raised his voice deliberately, and looked at the brothers provocatively, holding the can of luncheon meat high in his hand, intending to tempt them.

If it were in the past, the two brothers would have been drooling with envy, but now they had more than 600 people and were not greedy at all. They even snorted with disdain.

"What's the point of showing off a little luncheon meat? Everyone has eaten it. I've been eating it since I grew teeth, and I'm tired of it!" Lu Jiefang said sarcastically.

"I always drink malted milk as tea. It's sweet. Only children drink that stuff. I stopped drinking it when I was six years old. Brother, do you know what adults eat?"

Lu Yuanchao's voice was even louder, and the entire cafeteria could hear it.

Although everyone knew that there was nothing good in the brothers' mouths, they were still interested, and someone asked loudly: "What do adults want to eat? Tell me!"

"Of course adults need to eat delicious food!"

Lu Jiefang and his brother had a tacit understanding and answered for him. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the remittance slip and said proudly: "My sister-in-law just sent me more than 600 yuan, which can be used to feed several pigs. What's the point of sending some luncheon meat and malted milk? Real money is love, humph!"

"That's right. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. My eldest sister-in-law treats us like her own sons. She doesn't just send us a few dozen dollars. She sends us hundreds of dollars. She's afraid that we'll get skinny from hunger!"

Lu Yuanchao boasted against his conscience. Anyway, the border was 18,000 miles away from Tanzhou, and no one knew about his family affairs, not even his elder brother and sister-in-law could hear about it.

Some people didn't believe it and ran to look at the remittance slip. After seeing the numbers on it, everyone fell silent and felt envy and jealousy.

Damn it, they also want a sister-in-law who is better than their own mother!

Cui Xiongwei's face turned pale and blue. The luncheon meat in his hand was heavy and he was embarrassed to share it.

Because his mother only sent 80 yuan, she even called him to remind him to be frugal.

Eighty yuan is certainly not a small amount, but compared with the eldest sister-in-law of the two stupid brothers, his mother seems particularly stingy.

Lu Jiefang was very satisfied with everyone's silence. He snorted triumphantly at Cui Xiongwei and shouted loudly through the window: "Old Huang, give us some beef stewed with potatoes, a fish stew, and a pot of rice. I'll give you the money tomorrow. My sister-in-law sent us more than 600 yuan!"

He showed the remittance slip to the head of the kitchen team, Lao Huang. The canteen could provide a special meal, but one had to pay for it himself. With the twenty yuan that Ruan Qiqi had given him before, the two brothers basically had their own meals.

"Yo He, you are so lucky to have such a good sister-in-law!"

Old Huang was envious. With just over 600 yuan, he could build a grand brick and tile house in his hometown, marry a beautiful wife, and still have a lot of money left over.

The two brothers kept laughing foolishly, in a very good mood. All the frustration and depression they had felt since arriving at the border were swept away. They squatted at the kitchen door, just waiting for the dinner.

The dinner was finally ready. Although the environment at the border was harsh, the beef was really delicious and the cooking skills of the cook were also good. A pot of beef stewed with potatoes, a whole fish, and a big pot of rice were all eaten by the two of them. They even mixed the soup at the bottom of the pot with the rice.

"belch……"

The brothers leaned back in their chairs contentedly, feeling revived.

Lu Jiefang suddenly had an idea and thought of something very important, so he kicked his brother hard.

"what?"

Lu Yuanchao, his mind was empty, and his tone was very impatient.

"Let's go get some money tomorrow and buy some local specialties for my sister-in-law."

Although Lu Jiefang was stupid, he still understood the ways of the world, and he also figured out that this amount of money was the total amount owed by him and his brother, and it was calculated to the decimal point, so there was no doubt that he had made a mistake.

Therefore, Ruan Qiqi did not deduct half of the money from them, and sent it all over without losing a penny, and also added the handling fee.

Lu Jiefang's mood is very complicated now, a little ashamed, a little touched, and a little warm and shy.

He also had an idea of ​​sustainable development. If he could curry favor with Ruan Qiqi, he might have a steady supply of money and supplies in the future.

They didn't know how long they would stay in this damn place. The more than 600 yuan would eventually be spent, so they really needed to find someone to rely on. Their father and mother were all suffering in the cadre school and couldn't take care of themselves. Lu Ye was very fierce, so they couldn't count on him.

At present, only the eldest sister-in-law is reliable. She is a bit fierce, but she has a good heart.

Therefore, no matter what the brothers say, they have to hold on to this thigh tightly!

Only if you curry favor with your elder sister-in-law can you have a good life in the future.

Lu Jiefang's simple and clear mind finally opened up a little bit and decided on the direction and goal of future sustainable development. The next day, the two brothers took a day off, ran to the town to get money, and sent some local specialties to Ruan Qiqi.
