Xiangnan took Li You into a state-owned restaurant, where they could order stir-fries. Xiangnan took a look at the menu, which was full of fish and meat.
She had no interest in these and handed them to Li You: "Order what you like."
Li You glanced at the price and leaned close to her ear and said, "Sister, this is too expensive. One fish costs five dollars. I'll catch one from my pond and cook it for you for free."
"Stop talking nonsense and order food quickly. There's no pond for you here, and no place to cook for you."
Li You looked left and right, but they all seemed too expensive, so he was hesitant.
The waiter next to him looked at him with disdain: "You look quite attractive, but why are you so stingy with your girlfriend? How can you not spend money when you are in love?
My girlfriend is so beautiful, but if I don't spend money on her, she will run away."
Xiangnan smiled and said, "Hello, you misunderstood, he is my younger brother."
She took the menu and ordered a few dishes at random: "These are the ones I'll take."
"Sister, don't order so much. I can't finish it. I have a small appetite." Li You said quickly.
Xiangnan ignored him. After the waiter left, she asked Li You, "Aren't you planning to go to college?"
"I didn't pass the exam. I'm not cut out for studying. I'm not going to study anymore."
"Didn't your family ask you to repeat a grade?"
"Give it to me. I don't want to. My head hurts when I see books. I fall asleep after reading for two minutes. How can I read like this?" Li You looked unhappy.
"Li You, it's very important to get into university now. Once you're assigned a job, you can come to the city and have a stable job."
"Sister, please don't ask me to study. I really don't want to study. Is there no other way to go besides studying? Sister, you don't study either, and you make money every day to support yourself and live a good life."
Xiangnan patted the back of his head suddenly and said, "You think I don't want to study? I have no choice. When I make enough money, I will go to college for fun.
But... you're right. You don't have to study to have a future. If you really don't want to study, just tell your family and let them stop thinking about you repeating the year."
Li You was a little timid: "I don't dare, my dad will beat me to death."
"Being beaten now is better than being disappointed and beaten later. You don't want to study anyway, so stop them from wanting to study and make them support your business.
I have a way to make money, and I can take you with me, but you must get the support of your family, otherwise I won’t take you with me.”
Li You leaned close to her ear and said, "You can really make money. Can you tell me what method it is?"
"Let's go to Guangzhou. We can earn hundreds of dollars just by bringing back a few pieces of cloth. Money is easy to make these days. It all depends on whether you have the courage to go out."
"I dare you! Okay, I'll tell my dad when I get home. The worst that can happen is he'll beat me up."
"That Yang Jun was a soldier, right? You can bring him along. It's safer to have a few people outside."
"Yes, he was a soldier and can fight, but compared to me, his fighting skills are just fancy moves."
"Take him with you, and let's go to Guangzhou together if there's a chance."
"Okay, sister, Yangcheng is fun, is it better than our Jiangcheng?"
"It's fun, there are lots of opportunities, and the spring breeze of reform blew into them right from the start. Let's eat first."
The dishes were served: a boiled fish, a bowl of twice-cooked pork, and a golden fried egg. Xiangnan didn't order any vegetables, as they were all available at the farm, and no matter how good the cooking skills were, he couldn't cook anything fancy.
The chef at the state-owned restaurant was quite skilled, and Xiangnan had a very full meal.
Li You was so full that he said with satisfaction, "Sis, following you, I know how to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. This is really delicious, much better than what my grandma made."
"If you don't like your milk, make it yourself. If you don't want to make it yourself, then make some money and hire a chef to make it."
The total amount was fifteen dollars, and Xiangnan paid the bill without any panic.
Li You felt distressed: "It's delicious, but it's really expensive. Fifteen yuan can last us half a month."
But after Xiangnan bought a spring bed for 150 yuan, he felt that the 15 yuan meal was not that expensive.
"Sister, if you sleep on this floor, all your dreams will come true."
Li You put the mattress on the tricycle and tied it up. He patted the mattress and found it was really soft. It must be very comfortable to sleep on.
His sister really knows how to enjoy herself.
Xiangnan painted a rosy picture for him: "Follow me, and all your dreams will come true. If you can't ride steadily, I'll ride and you can ride the bicycle."
The tricycle is not big, so it is quite difficult to drag a bed and a mattress.
Most people don't dare to ride it for fear that it will fall over.
There is nothing to worry about heading south, but you need to be extra careful when riding on gravel roads.
So he rode very slowly, and only asked Li You to take over when Xiangnan got tired.
The two of them rode slowly for three or four hours and successfully brought the bed and mattress back to Daxiang Village.
As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I saw a group of people gathered outside the house from afar.
"Why are there so many people in my house? Li You, you ride slowly in the back, I'll go see what's going on."
Xiangnan was a little worried that Li Mo would quarrel with the villagers because of selling eggs last night.
She rode over quickly.
Someone saw her coming back and quickly said, "Xiangnan, there are a group of people at your house. Go and take a look. They seem to be from your brother's army."
"They even carried someone back. That's how Xiang Jing carried someone back that year."
"Bah, don't talk nonsense, this guy is still alive, I saw him talking to Li Mo."
"Why are they carrying people here? Do you think a soldier from the same army would borrow a house to recuperate?"
Only then did Xiangnan realize that there were several jeeps parked behind the house.
Xiangnan's heart skipped a beat, wondering if something had happened to Huode.
She stopped her bike and went into the house. There were several people sitting in the main room, all wearing military uniforms, and Li Mo was making tea for them.
