Chapter 148 Fat Water
Looking at Xing Dongyang's almost stubborn eyes, Su Tong replied:
"Of course it counts! But you have an injury on your leg now. I will give you acupuncture after you recover..."
After recovery... then acupuncture...
That sounds really exciting, if he still has time.
Xing Dongyang smiled bitterly and said, "Okay!"
Su Tong turned around and walked out, feeling somewhat amused in his heart that even when Brother Xing was sick he still had such a childish side.
When he returned to the main room, Qin Yi had already put down his chopsticks and was talking in a low voice to Lin Li. When he saw Su Tong coming out, he stood up with a questioning look in his eyes.
Su Tong knew that they were pressed for time and it was very difficult for them to stay and have a meal, so he quickly said:
"I can handle Brother Xing's situation, and I have the medicines, Comrade Qin, don't worry!"
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Okay, if you need anything, you can ask Lin Li to notify me. We will leave first."
Cheng Gang on the side was also busy getting up. Before leaving, Qin Yi turned around and glanced at Su Tong with a smile in his eyes.
"Thank you! Su Tong! I haven't had such a formal New Year's Eve dinner in several years."
Su Tong smiled and said softly: "Comrade Qin, I wish you a happy new year in advance!"
Qin Yi smiled, which was rare. His sharp jawline curved into a beautiful arc.
"I wish you a happy new year in advance, Su Tong!"
After the two left, Su Tong breathed a sigh of relief, as if he felt that this year was finally complete.
She has not been here for long and has encountered a lot of malice and calculation, but there have also been many people who have shown her kindness and helped her. She would feel comforted if she could express a little gratitude on this day.
Then, they began to arrange for everyone to clean up the dishes, make beds, carry firewood, and boil medicine for Xing Dongyang...
Everyone was busy working together and the house was bustling again.
After packing up, they went their separate ways. Zhou Jin and Lin Li had to take their luggage, and they had to inform each other's families before changing places to live. After that, they also had routine patrol tasks to do.
Shitou also went back happily. Su Tong arranged for him to come over to accompany Brother Xing in the evening, and he was very happy about it.
Xing Dongyang was drowsy the whole time. Except for drinking a bowl of medicated porridge and taking some medicine, he was in deep sleep the whole time.
Su Tong asked Shitou to accompany him because he was afraid that something might happen at night, and he went to Qiuyu's house himself.
Fortunately, we had made a few extra sets of bedding, and the new and old ones together were barely enough for the people in the house.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Zhou Jin would put out the open flame in the brazier with wood ash, leaving the red-hot charcoal, which could provide warmth for a long time.
Lin Li lay on the bedding, staring at the roof without saying a word.
Zhou Jin lifted the quilt and crawled under the blanket from the other end.
To be honest, although it was a bed on the floor, it was covered with thick straw and brand new bedding. It was comfortable and warm, much better than the side room in Ma Daming's house.
“It’s been a comfortable year!”
He sighed with satisfaction, then looked up at Lin Li and said:
"Brother Lin, why are you suddenly silent?"
Lin Li suddenly sat up and said in a daze:
"Zhou Jin, what do you think of me?"
"What?" Zhou Jin was a little confused.
Lin Li looked at Zhou Jin and asked seriously:
"If, I mean if I pursue Su Tong, do you think there is a chance?"
"What!?"
Zhou Jin's eyes widened, "You said... you were... wrong to Su... why are you..."
Zhou Jin scratched his head hard. This was so sudden that he didn't know how to respond...
Seeing Zhou Jin's big reaction, Lin Li scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then glanced back at Zhou Jin and sighed...
"Oh! You don't understand!"
Zhou Jin scratched his head again. Okay! He really didn't understand! This topic came up too suddenly! His innocent mind couldn't wrap its head around it.
"You, you like Sister Su Tong?"
"It's not a question of like or not, it's..."
Lin Li sighed again, raised his chin towards the east room and said, "Xing Zhiqing across the street, haven't you figured it out yet?"
"What do you see?"
"Xing Zhiqing is interested in Su Tong! He used to like to get close to Su Tong... OK! This time he won't hide it or avoid suspicion, he just stays here."
Zhou Jin scratched his head again. Fortunately, his hair was still thick, so he shouldn't go bald.
"Ah! I didn't see that! But Xing Zhiqing... looks pretty good! She's a good match for Sister Su Tong too!"
Lin Li choked, paused, and said in a low voice with a bit of mystery:
"Anyway, Su Tong is not just the Su Tong you saw. I can't tell you anything else. Anyway, she and Xing Zhiqing are not the same kind of people. If she follows Xing Zhiqing, it will be ruined."
"Ruined? Why would it be ruined? It wouldn't be ruined if I followed you?" Zhou Jin really didn't understand.
"If I say it's ruined, then it's ruined... And what's the big sister? She's younger than you, right? How dare you call her that!"
Lin Li looked disgusted and paused...
"Okay! I can't explain it to you! Just... just tell me if I have a chance?"
After these incidents, Zhou Jin admired Su Tong from the bottom of his heart. He was about the same age as Su Tong, so he just followed Shitou and called her sister. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But he didn't dwell on it at the moment. He pursed his lips, looked at Lin Li's face seriously, swallowed his saliva and said:
"Since you asked me so seriously, I'll tell you the truth. I think... you don't have much of a chance... you're still a little unworthy of Sister Su Tong..."
In fact, Lin Li was born with broad eyebrows and big eyes, and a bright and regular appearance.
It's just that Su Tong is now well-maintained, her appearance is becoming more and more delicate and spiritual, and her calm aura and quick thinking all reveal the temperament of a big boss. It's really not something that people dare to underestimate, let alone... covet.
After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he quickly raised his arms to cover his face for fear of being beaten.
Unexpectedly, Lin Li did not move, but just sighed and said:
"Forget it. I know my own limitations. Tomorrow I'll do Cheng Gang's job and let him try. If it doesn't work, I'll replace him with Rao Jiancheng. Anyway, there are a lot of bachelors in our team."
Zhou Jin was confused. "Oh! You are determined to ruin Xing Zhiqing's good fortune! What do you call this? Don't let outsiders take away the wealth?"
Lin Li glared, "I'm just afraid that guy will get the upper hand by being close to the water!"
"that……"
Zhou Jin scratched his head again and made a serious suggestion:
"If you really want to keep the benefits within your family, why don't you let your captain give it a try? I think the success rate should be... guaranteed."
Lin Li glanced at him and said, "No matter how brave I am, I dare not interfere in our captain's affairs..."
He only thought about the captain's family background for a moment, and then he shuddered and said seriously:
"His own situation is complicated enough, we dare not add to the chaos!"
