After buying what he needed, Xie Yan didn't dare to delay for a moment. He rode his bike home and, after riding about halfway, took out the braised pork and spicy chicken he had packed for Gu Bin, hung them on the handlebars, and continued on his way without taking a break. This was definitely the fastest Xie Yan had ever ridden his bike.
As for why we didn't buy our food first before going to the state-run restaurant, how could that be possible! State-run restaurants have set hours; if you miss the mealtime, then it's all over—there won't be anything left!
In order not to reveal his private space or be noticed by anyone, Xie Yan had no choice but to push himself and pedal faster!
Fortunately, the rest of the journey will only take him a little over an hour if he goes a little faster, and the food will definitely still be good when he gets back.
As for those for my own family, I'll just put them in my personal space!
Yu Yuehui might not ask, and even if she does, she'll be easy to fool!
Thinking about the things in the space, Xie Yan couldn't help but feel happy! Even though he was tired and hot right now, he still couldn't help but get excited whenever he thought about the things in the space!
What a wonderful day! All my wishes will come true!
As Xie Yan approached the village, he saw a person at the village entrance waving and jumping around.
Xie Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing. He couldn't bear to watch! A young master from the capital city had become a village block of hungry spectators just to get a bite to eat!
As they rode closer, they saw Gu Bin grinning from ear to ear, with the grass in his mouth spilling out. Xie Yan was speechless and laughed!
She didn't go to work all afternoon, just waiting for him! In this hot weather, she's really going all out for food!
Looks like they're really hungry!
Xie Yan didn't stop the car and called out to Gu Bin, "Get in!"
Gu Bin's eyes immediately fell on the lunchbox on the front of the car. His handsome face, which was actually quite good-looking, was contorted with laughter!
"Alright! Brother, you really are my brother!" He jumped into the car, and the two headed straight for Xie Yan's house.
Xie Yan rolled his eyes. "Yes, yes, yes! When we need each other, we're like brothers; when we don't, we kick the crap out of him!"
Gu Bin quickly switched to his nonsense mode, "You must be mistaken. The person who told you to get lost was definitely not me. What kind of relationship do we have? We're half-brothers!"
What a pair of half-brothers!
As soon as Xie Yan opened the door at the entrance, Gu Bin hurriedly lifted the car inside, staring intently at him, "Is this mine?"
Xie Yan said helplessly, "I said, do you have to be in such a hurry? Let me catch my breath!"
Gu Bin glared coldly at Xie Yan, "You're like a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving man. You eat and drink well every day, but what about me?"
"You know what kind of life I lead every day. I'm even more pitiful than a cabbage. I never see a drop of oil or fat, and I only eat cornbread that makes my throat sore. Do you think it's easy for me? I am!"
Xie Yan quickly raised her hand to interrupt his complaint, "Okay, okay, it's my fault, my fault! That's yours, go inside and eat!"
Gu Bin happily carried his lunchbox to the kitchen, opening the lid as he went and taking a deep breath. Ah, this braised pork smells so good!
Gu Bin didn't care that his hands were dirty; he grabbed a piece and popped it into his mouth, his eyes crinkling with happiness. This meat! It's so delicious, it tastes just right!
Xie Yan shook his head. What a fine young master he was! Look at him now! "People say that after three years in the army, even a sow can look like Diao Chan (a legendary beauty)," he said. "You've only been in the countryside for a few months, and look at your current appearance. Do you think your parents would even recognize you?"
Gu Bin retorted before he could even swallow the braised pork in his mouth, "Of course! I'm their precious son. Seeing me now will only make them feel even more sorry for me!"
"Sigh! Another day of homesickness! Thinking about the big braised pork knuckle at home, why didn't I eat more of it back then! Regret, deep regret!"
Seeing Gu Bin's pitiful appearance, Xie Yan felt a pang of sympathy. "You didn't eat lunch, did you? Are you even full? Just these two dishes?"
Gu Bin chuckled and asked, "Why aren't you full? Why don't you cook me two more dishes?"
Xie Yan couldn't stand his smugness. "I did have that idea, but seeing how principled you are, I'll pass. You'll definitely be full from those two dishes!"
Seeing that Xie Yan was serious, Gu Bin quickly softened his stance, saying, "Come on, have a piece of braised pork. You know what, theirs is absolutely the best!"
Xie Yan quickly declined, saying, "I'm not as unclean as you, I won't just grab my hands!"
Gu Bin was furious! "You think you're so high and mighty, so clean and tidy, and I'm the only slob?! Don't you remember how you looked in the dorm before?! And you have the nerve to complain about me?! For the sake of food, I'll put up a brave face!" He forced a smile, "Yes, yes, no rush. We'll clean up a bit later before we eat. Come on, what else do you need? I'll help you!"
"My fire-making skills are top-notch now! Whatever kind of fire you want, I can make it for you! I can control the fire, big or small, with complete ease."
Xie Yan rolled her eyes. "Too late! Ugh, my back and arms are aching from riding this bike. Xie Yan, you should get some rest!"
Gu Bin put down the lunchbox in his hand, ran over and pulled Xie Yan, who was about to go inside, massaging her legs and shoulders, "How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"
Xie Yan, knowing when to stop, feigned reluctance and conceded, "Your strength is alright. Since you're so sincere in your request, I'll grant it. Wait for me to pick some vegetables! These are freshly picked vegetables, very fresh!"
Gu Bin made a gesture reminiscent of Er Kang's hand and called out to Xie Yan, who was walking into the courtyard, "No green beans! No green beans! I never want to eat green beans again!" The educated youth settlement had planted a lot of green beans, and they ate them almost every day, boiled or steamed. Every meal included green beans, and Gu Bin felt like throwing up whenever he saw them!
Xie Yan nodded knowingly. "Don't worry, our green beans are quite precious. If you don't want to eat them, I might not make them for you. But since you look so pitiful, come over and see what you want to eat."
Gu Bin happily ran to the vegetable garden and saw the bright red tomatoes. "Here, I'll have some tomato and egg soup! And this one too, I'll have a melon. Let's stir-fry a melon, that should be enough! Or you can cook a bowl of noodles too!"
"Do you have noodles? Or do you have any noodles at all?" After saying that, she quickly added, "I'm paying for it, I definitely won't eat for free!"
Xie Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you still have enough to eat!"
Then, in a good-natured manner, she picked some small cucumbers from behind, which were actually just cucumbers, but Gu Bin, being a big, simpleton, didn't recognize them. She also picked a few cucumbers. "Want some cucumbers?" she asked, then ignored Gu Bin and started eating them herself. It had rained a few days ago, so the cucumbers were very clean and didn't need to be washed again.
