Chapter 92 Who could he be?
He Lanzhang's words made Zhu Rongrong feel ashamed, and other people in the restaurant also started pointing fingers at them.
How could Zhu Rongrong have ever suffered such humiliation?
She looked at He Lanzhang heartbrokenly, and finally pointed the finger at Gu Yuehuai, her voice hysterical: "Is it because of her? Are you regretting it because of this woman?!"
He Lanzhang was so angry that he clenched his hands, his face full of anger, and he shouted: "Stop being unreasonable!"
Zhu Rongrong gritted her teeth and said harshly, "Oh, the more you defend her, the more it shows that you are guilty! How could Brother Hongzhang agree to let a woman of unknown origin like her marry you? Don't be silly! Wake up!"
"Shut up!" He Lanzhang's body was tense, and his words were uttered with gritted teeth.
He opened his mouth and looked at Gu Yuehuai, fearing that she would be angry because of what he said.
Gu Yuehuai shook his head and said calmly: "Comrade He, it seems that I can't have dinner with you today. I will take my sister back first. If she is starved, she will definitely come to me for revenge when her brother comes."
When he said the last sentence, Gu Yuehuai showed a faint shy smile on his face.
And this sentence, which was full of green tea flavor, instantly put an end to the smoky atmosphere.
"She...she is not your sister?" He Lanzhang's smile was forced, and his tone was even a little tense.
Gu Yuehuai was slightly surprised: "When I marry her brother, she will naturally be my sister."
He Lanzhang paused slightly, as if he had lost his temper, and the expression on his face faded.
Zhu Rongrong was suspicious at first, but when she saw He Lanzhang's ugly face, she felt relieved. She didn't continue to make trouble, but said, "Don't forget to invite me and He Lanzhang when you get married in the future."
It was hard to hide his joy when he said this, but it made He Lanzhang's face look even uglier.
Gu Yuehuai didn't say anything, but just smiled and said, "The dishes have been ordered, it's my treat for you two."
After she finished speaking, she carried Yan Shaotang to pay the bill, leaving the basket there and turned to leave the state-owned restaurant.
Life is hard enough, and she doesn't want to stumble over emotional issues. Besides, there is only one person in her heart, so how could she have anything to do with others?
However, was He Lanzhang married in his previous life?
Gu Yuehuai shook his head and did not continue to explore this issue.
She lowered her eyes to look at Yan Shaotang, who was silently hugging her neck, and said softly, "Are you hungry? Can I stew some chicken for you when I get home?"
Yan Shaotang blinked and hugged Gu Yuehuai's neck tighter.
She had just walked out of Huangying Commune when she heard He Lanzhang's shout from behind: "Comrade Gu! Wait a minute!"
Gu Yuehuai stopped and turned to look at He Lanzhang who was chasing him on a bicycle. His mood seemed to have recovered. Although there was not much smile on his face, he still looked cheerful and sunny.
Gu Yuehuai saw him stop his bike and asked, "Comrade He? What are you doing?"
He Lanzhang smiled and said politely, "Let me take you back. Aren't we friends? You left me so much food and supplies. I can't let you run back on foot without even a meal, right?"
He patted the back seat of the car: "Let's go, get in the car!"
Gu Yuehuai paused for a moment, looked at Yan Shaotang, and did not refuse: "Then I'll trouble you."
He Lanzhang shook his head, and after they were seated, he rode his bicycle to the Dalaozi Production Brigade.
On the way, he apologized: "I'm sorry for what happened just now."
Gu Yuehuai chuckled: "It's okay, don't take it to heart."
He Lanzhang was speechless. He originally wanted to explain a few words about Zhu Rongrong's matter, but now he thought that this was his family affair and it would not be convenient to talk about it with Gu Yuehuai, so he fell silent.
He has always been a person who can let go of things easily. If he likes something, he likes it; if he doesn't like something, he doesn't like it.
Since we are not destined to be together, we won’t force it, but we can still be friends.
There was no conversation along the way. After all, the bicycle was faster than the legs, and soon we returned to the Dalaozi Production Brigade.
This was He Lanzhang's first time in the Dalaozi Production Brigade. There were many production brigades under the jurisdiction of Qing'an County. He had wanted to choose one to join the team, but later he heard that a group of educated youth from the capital had come to the countryside, so he thought about waiting.
Now that he has offended Zhu Rongrong and even Zhu Feng behind her, it is obviously impossible for him to be sent to the same brigade as the educated youth from Beijing. The future is bleak and he doesn't know where to start again.
Perhaps, joining the army like my elder brother would be an excellent choice.
He Lanzhang thought so.
"Then I'll leave first." The person had already been sent there, and He Lanzhang didn't find an excuse to stay.
Gu Yuehuai thought about it and said naturally: "You haven't had lunch either, why don't you eat at my house."
Regardless of other things, He Lanzhang is indeed a loyal friend, otherwise he would not have become his comrade-in-arms. She is still willing to spend a meal with him. Besides, Gu Xihuai is also at work today, so He Lanzhang can also help look after Yan Shaotang if he cooks.
He Lanzhang was stunned for a moment, but didn't refuse.
As soon as the two entered the house, they smelled a faint aroma of rice. It was the rice porridge left behind by Gu Zhifeng and the others when they came back at noon. As long as she didn't cook, they would eat such dry food for three meals a day.
Gu Yuehuai sighed, but suddenly remembered that she didn't hand over some of the money to the public account after she got it back. Maybe her father doesn't have a penny in his pocket now! Thinking of this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She asked He Lanzhang to look after Yan Shaotang first, and she went back to her room. When she came out, she was holding an old hen with its neck broken. He Lanzhang was a little surprised: "Chicken...you put it in the room?"
Gu Yuehuai smiled and said, "Country boy, don't mind."
Hearing this, He Lanzhang waved his hands repeatedly and said embarrassedly: "No... No, that's not what I meant."
Gu Yuehuai quickly boiled hot water, cleaned the hen, and prepared to stir-fry a large plate of chicken.
There was only brown rice at home. Although it was a bit embarrassing to entertain guests, I hadn't bought fine grains for a while. I could only stew brown rice, cut some red peppers, stir-fry them, and also fried a bowl of non-spicy food for Yan Shaotang.
When the big plate chicken is cooked until the soup is thick, add a potato, it will be very fragrant and overbearing.
He Lanzhang sniffed the meaty aroma in the air, pursed his lips, and looked at Gu Yuehuai with a complicated look. Her cooking skills were even better than those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants. Apart from anything else, the aroma was really mouth-watering.
At this moment, Yan Shaotang, who had been sitting obediently in He Lanzhang's arms, suddenly began to struggle: "Hmm... Hmm..."
Gu Yuehuai hurriedly said, "Comrade He, please watch the fire and stir it so that the pot doesn't get burned."
He Lanzhang nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"
Gu Yuehuai took Yan Shaotang and took her to the yard to go to the toilet. When he turned back, he suddenly saw Tian Jing standing in the yard next door, looking at this side with a cold face, and her eyes were fixed on He Lanzhang's bicycle.
Noticing Gu Yuehuai's gaze, Tian Jing withdrew her gaze and went straight into the house.
The two of them had completely fallen out last night and were incompatible with each other, so it was naturally impossible for them to talk to each other.
Gu Yuehuai was indifferent and went back with Yan Shaotang in his arms.
As soon as she went back, Tian Jing opened the door and came out again.
She stood at the door, frowned at the bicycle in the yard next door, and was lost in a brainstorm.
I went over all the people in the early part of the novel in my mind, but I couldn't think of any other young man with a bicycle who was related to Gu Yuehuai at this time, except Chen Yuesheng. Could he be a character in the plot?
Who could he be?
