Chapter 114 He Wasn't Looking for Her
Chen Zilong really wanted to leave He Hongwen alone, but when he thought of the relationship between Uncle He and his father, he cursed in his heart: What bad luck.
"Comrade, thank you so much. May I ask your name?" He Hongwen said with gratitude on his face. He took a quick step and walked side by side with Chen Zilong.
"My name is Chen Zilong, let's go." Chen Zilong did not mention his father asking him to take care of He Hongwen, and pretended not to know him.
He had been standing next to Siran's sister's bicycle waiting for her, just to tell her that her ex-fiancé came to see her.
But she looked like she wanted to cut off ties with him and refused to get too close to him. He was afraid that others might hear, so he hesitated and said nothing.
But she left in a hurry, and Chen Zilong thought he would talk about it when he went to her house tomorrow.
But I didn’t know that this unlucky thing had already arrived!
Fortunately, Sister Siran walked away quickly, otherwise it would be so disgusting if she encountered this unlucky thing!
Chen Zilong looked at the polite He Hongwen from the side, and no matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like a scumbag.
He was so angry that he snorted coldly: Humph! You’re so good at pretending!
When he was engaged to Siran's sister, he even boasted that he wanted to marry her sister. His behavior was very despicable.
The more Chen Zilong thought about it, the more contempt he felt. He didn't want to talk to He Hongwen. He had been a child prodigy since childhood.
He had a good family background, was handsome and smart, and joined the army directly after graduating from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
After two years of hard work, he became the deputy company commander and was the one who had the final say in the company.
It’s not that he couldn’t do anything to Zhan Yunzhou, but he felt that Sister Siran seemed to like Zhan Yunzhou a little.
As long as she likes it, as long as she is happy, he will try to let go no matter how painful it is.
But the man in front of him, who was eating from the bowl and eyeing the pot, had already become famous, and he still wouldn't tell him where Siran's sister lived.
The more Chen Zilong thought about it, the angrier he became, and the faster he walked. He was eager to distance himself from He Hongwen.
He Hongwen thought that the young man in front of him was easy to talk to, but he just walked with his head down without saying a word.
He tried several times to find a topic to talk about, but he had a hard time keeping up with the pace, and his mind was fuzzy as he was out of breath.
But not only did the other party not wait for him, he also walked away very quickly. He couldn't just ask the other party if he knew Bo Zibin right away!
He asked casually because he wanted to get familiar with him, but unfortunately the other party seemed not to like talking!
Not only is this place poor, but the people are also unwelcoming. He really doesn't like it here, but he can't miss the opportunity to please Bo Zibin.
The two of them walked in silence all the way to the cafeteria. Chen Zilong took the initiative to buy food for He Hongwen and found a seat by the window.
He didn't like He Hongwen, but his upbringing made him polite, "Doctor He, please take a seat. Here is your meal."
"Thank you. How much is it? I'll give it to you." He Hongwen said this, but he didn't take out the money.
Chen Zilong invited him to dinner sincerely because Uncle He and his father were comrades-in-arms, so he had no intention of accepting any money from He Hongwen.
"No need to give me anything. I'll treat you to dinner." After he said that, he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth to savor it carefully.
It was as if he was eating some delicious food. He gave a thumbs up and praised it, "Today's braised pork is so delicious."
He Hongwen opened his mouth several times to say something, and heard the other party say with great satisfaction: "It's delicious, Doctor He, eat it while it's hot."
As he spoke, he buried his head in his food, leaving He Hongwen dumbfounded. He wanted to speak but was afraid of disturbing him.
Chen Zilong saw He Hongwen staring at him without moving his chopsticks. He knew that he wanted to ask him about Sister Siran, but he really didn't want to tell him.
So he frowned and urged: "Don't just watch me eat, eat too. If you don't like braised pork, eat cabbage."
As he spoke, he put the braised pork from He Hongwen's bowl into his bowl, "Mm! It's delicious."
He Hongwen picked up the chopsticks and started eating in frustration. Halfway through, he couldn't hold it in any longer.
He coughed lightly and said, "Comrade, why don't the people who were sent down from the farm come here to eat?"
"Comrade He, who are you looking for here?" Chen Zilong asked in surprise. He did not directly answer He Hongwen's question.
He was very confused. Wasn't he here to find his sister Siran?
Sister Siran was an educated youth who went to the countryside. Although she worked as a veterinarian on a farm, she was not one of those who were sent down.
"Well, I want to find someone who was sent to the farm a few years ago... a man named Bo... his name is..."
"Whatever his name is, I don't know anyone with the surname Bo." Chen Zilong looked at the hesitant He Hongwen and interrupted him unhappily.
He had previously thought that He Hongwen had come specifically to see Sister Siran, but he didn't realize that he wasn't.
Yesterday his father told him on the phone that Uncle He’s second son was coming here to look for Sister Siran. His father said with great emotion that the boy only knew how to cherish something after he lost it.
But this kid didn't come here to look for Sister Siran at all, so how can he cherish her like that?
"If you want to find someone, you should go to the farm manager, or at least the farm administrator." Chen Zilong's tone was as harsh as hail.
He Hongwen was frightened by the other party's coldness, "Comrade, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else."
"I'll leave first after I'm done eating. You take your time eating." Chen Zilong said as he took the aluminum lunch box to wash it.
He Hongwen looked at Chen Zilong's back, puzzled. He was fine before, so why did he suddenly get angry?
Ye Siran didn't know what happened on the farm. As soon as she arrived at the village entrance, she saw Village Chief Qu looking forward to it. "Ye Zhiqing, are you back?"
"Village chief, what are you doing standing here?" Ye Siran asked curiously.
"Ye Zhiqing, I've been waiting for you here on purpose. Two months ago, you asked our village to open up wasteland and plant sweet potatoes. Now we can see the results."
Village chief Qu said excitedly, he was so happy that he was at a loss. Every time their village harvested rice and paid the public grain tax, there was very little left and the villagers could not get enough to eat.
After the double harvest was over, Ye Zhiqing asked him to lead the villagers to reclaim wasteland and bought a lot of sweet potato seeds for them.
At that time, he was half-believing and half-doubting, and even sent a telegram to his nephew Qu Chenggang, asking him whether he should believe Ye Zhiqing.
His nephew told him to listen to Ye Zhiqing without hesitation, saying that Ye Zhiqing was educated and knowledgeable, and it would be right to listen to her.
Only two months have passed, and the sweet potatoes in the yellow sand field are growing well. This afternoon, he quietly dug a little and saw sweet potatoes the size of eggs.
"Village chief, find some people with good hands and wait for me in the sweet potato field at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." Ye Siran ordered.
"Ye Zhiqing, is it time to dig sweet potatoes?" asked Village Chief Qu with his eyes wide open.
He felt that the sweet potatoes could grow a little bigger. If each sweet potato grew a little bigger, the village would have a lot more food.
"No, it will take another month before we can dig them up. The sweet potatoes are growing bigger every day. In a month, they will at least triple in size."
"Then what are you asking them to do tomorrow morning?" Village Chief Qu couldn't help but ask.
