Shen Cuiping's words were so tactless.
The people at the table turned cold, and even Chang Youxin frowned in displeasure.
Zhang Zicheng stood up to go to the kitchen, but Xu Nuo quickly said, "Don't bother, I've already eaten. I brought some snacks with me on the way here, and I ate them on the way."
She ate red bean porridge at Li Xian's house, and after the rain stopped, Li Xian made her three boiled eggs to make steamed egg custard.
She didn't finish eating; more than half of it was left.
“Snacks aren’t enough, we need to eat.” Before Chang Zicheng could finish speaking, Xu Nuo winked at him: “Brother Zicheng, I really have already eaten, I can’t eat another bite, please don’t waste it.”
Chang Zicheng's face immediately turned red, and he didn't dare to look at her again. Seeing her decline like this, the others didn't press the matter.
Xu Nuo glanced outside the door; Li Xian had already left.
She went back to her room to rest.
The brigade leader's house was allocated to him by the landlord. The house was not only impressive, but the rooms were also made of high-quality tiles and bricks, which made it warm in winter and cool in summer, and it was not easy to attract insects.
Thinking of the dilapidated little house where Li Xian lived, Xu Nuo suddenly felt a little sorry for him.
A short while later, Xu Yan arrived.
Xu Yan looked worried: "I didn't see the tractor come to Luxian Village today, I thought you were in the city, why did you come all the way here?"
As soon as Xu Nuo saw someone she could act cute with, she started whining and pretending to cry: "Waaah, the tractor overturned in Gaoshan Village and I fell down."
Upon learning the whole story, Xu Yan was both shocked and frightened: "Luckily you met Brother Li, otherwise what would have happened if Master Wang had just left you there like that?"
She only mentioned meeting Li Xian, waiting with him for the rain to stop, and then walking back to Luxian Village; she didn't say anything else.
Although Xu Yan is currently close to Luo Chen, Li Xian will still be her man in the future.
…
That night, Xu Yan slept with her at the brigade leader's house.
The two lay in bed chatting. When Xu Yan talked about Luo Chen, his words always carried a hint of ambiguity and affection.
Xu Yan asked her shyly, "Nuonuo, what do you think of your brother Luo Chen?"
That feeling of knowing something but not being able to say it was really uncomfortable, so Xu Nuo could only dodge the question and say, "Brother Luo Chen is pretty good. By the way, sis, what do you think of Li Xian?"
Xu Yan had a good impression of Li Xian: "Although his family background is not good, one cannot judge a person by their origins."
"Yes, yes, it's great that you think that way, sister. I think Li Xianren is a good person."
“Yesterday, Duan San gave me some things, saying they were from Li Xian.”
Xu Nuo asked dismissively, "What is it?"
"Two pheasants, one rabbit, and a basket of chestnuts."
Xu Nuo thought to herself, Li Xian is indeed very thoughtful. Last time, Xu Yan asked where the chestnut tree was, and he already knew to get her a basket of them.
Xu Yan naturally refused. Having accepted Li Xian's snake meat for no reason, how could he possibly want these things?
In rural areas, some families might not be able to eat these things for three years.
Duan San casually made up an excuse: "Keep it. Brother Li said he got so much of the commission for nothing, this is a thank you gift."
Not only Li Xian, but also Xu Yan received a significant increase in his share of the profits after Xu Yan's products became a hot seller. The figures left him speechless with astonishment.
Xu Yan shook his head again: "It's not like it happened out of nowhere. The materials are yours, and you're the ones selling them. Without you, I wouldn't have anywhere to sell them."
After much persuasion, Xu Yan still took the money and stuffed it into Duan San's hand, telling him to make sure it went to Li Xian, and added, "The things belong to him, so have him come over for dinner tomorrow."
Duan San nodded happily: "Okay, I'll talk to Brother Li."
The next day, Xu Yan went to work on time, while Xu Nuo skipped class and slept until she naturally woke up.
When Zigeng's wife saw that she hadn't gotten up to eat breakfast, she secretly took the bowl of porridge off the table.
She thought that if Xu Nuo asked, she would just say that she thought Xu Nuo wasn't going to eat it.
