Seeing Lu Xiao looking over, he pinched his little finger and said, "Just a little, just a little. Brother Xiao is taking me to drink delicious food and eat spicy food today. In the future, I, Li Ergou, will go through fire and water for Brother Xiao and sister-in-law."
"Alright, Li Ergou, just listening to this gives me goosebumps. When have you ever been so sweet to me?"
Lu Jie also came over, but he didn't shamelessly hold the empty bowl like Li Ergou. However, Lu Xiao took out milk powder from his bag and they both shared some.
This was installed by his wife when he first came here. As the saying goes, if you do hard work, you have to eat more and get more nutrition. As a result, Li Ergou saw it and started to get interested in it.
Lu Jie took a sip of the sweet, warm milk powder and sighed, "This is really good stuff! I am indebted to you. Otherwise, I probably would never have been able to drink something this delicious in my life."
He had also secretly tasted the milk from the production team's cows when they gave birth. Not only did it have a strong smell, but it was also not as sweet as this one. They were completely different things.
Li Ergou held the big bowl and slurped the food, each sip louder than the last.
The people around him were all members of the Red Star Brigade. Some of them saw him and laughed at him, "Ergou, what are you drinking? I'm already greedy just by looking at what you're drinking."
In fact, he sneered in his heart. What good things can there be for someone like Li Ergou who has no father and no mother to love? What good things can there be in their place?
He is so ignorant because he has never seen anything good. If he hadn't been working on the river, he probably wouldn't be able to have a full meal at home, right?
Li Ergou grew up in this kind of environment, so he naturally knew that many people in the village looked down on him. He licked his lips and said casually, "It's really good stuff. My sister-in-law Xiao brought some milk powder for brother Xiao. I asked for some to drink. It's because I'm thick-skinned that brother Xiao let me drink it. Otherwise, this good stuff is given by sister-in-law to brother Xiao to replenish his body. How can I deserve it?"
Although he said so, no one present believed it, especially those who laughed at Li Ergou, they immediately shut up.
That's milk powder, a precious thing that many of them have never seen, let alone drank.
I couldn't help but envy Lu Xiao again. This is the good thing about marrying an educated youth wife. She can have all kinds of expensive things. Not only can she drink it herself, but she can also give it to her brothers.
Hey, I heard that Jiang Zhiqing was very generous when he was at the educated youth site. Everyone had a share of the good things, especially Du Jiaming and Qiao Wenwan who went to the countryside with him. They benefited a lot from Jiang Zhiqing.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the two people. No wonder they all came to work on the river. Could it be that Du Jiaming would not be able to eat without Jiang Zhiqing?
They were not far away, so Du Jiaming naturally heard what the two people said and saw the milky white color in the three people's bowls.
Being stared at like this by everyone, his face darkened and he walked away with the unfinished meal.
Seeing this, Qiao Wenwan quickly followed. "These people are really something! It's just some milk powder, isn't it? Why are they making such a fuss about it? They have never seen the world."
Although she expressed dislike, she was actually thinking in her heart that without Jiang Wanwan, she had indeed lost a lot of good things.
If she had not planned for Jiang Wanwan and Lu Xiao to be together, the milk powder would have been hers, as well as the big package. Although she didn't know what was inside, it was heavy and must have a lot of good things. She wouldn't have to secretly pick up the package and make such a fuss.
"Brother Jiaming, I know I was wrong about the package. I really just wanted to give Wanwan a surprise, but who knew the package would be stolen."
In the police station, Du Jiaming always protected Jiang Wanwan. Did he regret it too?
Du Jiaming didn't care about those things. After all, he had seen all kinds of good things in his previous life, so he wouldn't be jealous of a bowl of milk powder.
But the looks in those people's eyes made him feel disgusted, as if he, Du Jiaming, could not live without Jiang Wanwan.
When he was at the educated youth point, he asked Jiang Wanwan to give him some money, and she was willing to do that. These people don't understand that sometimes accepting what others give is also a gift to that person. Jiang Wanwan likes him so much, if he doesn't want it, will she be happy?
He was just fulfilling her wish.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Once we get back to the Red Star Brigade, we'll make up for it as soon as possible and this matter will be over."
So as to avoid letting others think that he cares about those things.
Qiao Wenwan could hardly believe what she heard. "But I don't have the money to replace those things. They were clearly stolen by a thief. Why should I replace them?"
How can she make up for such a big bag of things?
Speaking of this, Du Jiaming was also a little annoyed. If Qiao Wenwan hadn't lost Jiang Wanwan's things, perhaps there would be room for easing the situation between them.
"What's the point of telling me all this? The police station asked you to make up for it, and Xiao Wan also insisted that you must make up for it. Or do you think that given our current relationship, Xiao Wan can just let it go like this?"
"I'm afraid there's no hope for my relationship with her, but Brother Jiaming, Wanwan has always liked you. When you get back, talk to Wanwan about it. Maybe..."
"Impossible," Du Jiaming interrupted Qiao Wenwan.
He was forced to come here to dig the canal because of Jiang Wanwan, so how could Jiang Wanwan be kind to him? Forget about feelings and face. Looking at Jiang Wanwan's behavior, the more unlucky he is, the better.
Qiao Wenwan thought Du Jiaming still favored Jiang Wanwan, and she was extremely jealous.
"If possible, I'd also like to return the things to Wanwan, but you know, during the time you were in the hospital, I owed a lot of money to Wang Fang. She had already urged me to pay the bills several times before I came here. You said you would help me pay it back if your family gave you money, but in the end, your family only gave you 5 yuan. There is no extra money to help me pay the debts. What can I do? Those debts are all owed for you."
