It was time to make dinner. Zhuang Zhimeng took out the large pancake that Hao Caiyun had bought at the market earlier that day, and she planned to make pancake rolls.
Wash and chop the cucumber and lettuce leaves, chop the scallions, and cut the pancakes in half. Scramble the eggs with soybean paste, oyster sauce, and five-spice powder.
She rolled one up and handed it to Zhuang Xingzhou, then rolled another up and handed it to Hao Caiyun.
Seeing that Su Mengmeng was eating with relish, Zhuang Zhimeng teased him, "Meng-ge'er, I remember the first time I saw you on the train, you were eating Shandong pancakes. So, which of these two is tastier?"
"Hmph! I won't fall for your tricks. They're all equally delicious, each with its own unique flavor!" she said, taking another big bite of the pancake.
"Brother Meng has this kind of story? When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
“Let me tell you, the first time we educated youth came here by train, he ate pancakes with scallions. Seeing him eating with such relish, I really wanted to tell him, ‘Can you please stop eating scallions? They’re so unpleasant!’”
"Haha! Really? He's so funny, eating green onions on the train?"
Su Mengmeng…
This combination is absolutely delicious.
Zhuang Xingzhou and Hao Caiyun paid no attention to their expressions; they were busy eating pancakes and had no time to concern themselves with the affairs of these young people.
…
At two o'clock in the morning, An Qingbai carried his prey from the back of the mountain towards the foot of the mountain, far away from the village, where someone was waiting for him.
This man looked fierce, with a hideous scar at the end of his eyebrow, which added to his ruthlessness.
He smiled when he saw An Qingbai arrive, but the smile looked stiff on his face. It seemed like he hadn't smiled in a long time and had become unaccustomed to smiling.
This is Hei Zi, who was saved by An Qingbai by chance. If it weren't for An Qingbai, Hei Zi would have been dead back then.
An Qingbai saw that he was surrounded by several people who were holding knives and were about to stab him in the neck. An Qingbai used a feint to distract the people.
Out of gratitude, he told An Qingbai the reason: he was in charge of the town's black market, specifically the south side. The person in charge of the north side, seeing how much money he was making during that period, couldn't stand it and wanted to get rid of him.
He also told An Qingbai that he would accept any goods from him for future trades and would not make any money off him.
Actually, his name isn't Heizi. When asked what to call him, he said that a name is just a code, and you can just call him Heizi.
An Qingbai was looking for a black market to sell his prey, so he sold it to Hei Zi. After that, they continued to trade, and Hei Zi would wait for him at the foot of the mountain at regular intervals.
As usual, weigh the item, take the money, collect the payment, and leave.
Heizi usually doesn't talk much, but he always pays the money readily.
An Qingbai remained silent; he only bothered to communicate with people who were important to him.
The two of them traded silently each time, and the transactions were completed very quickly.
Then Hei Zi left without looking back, carrying his prey. An Qingbai hurried back up the mountain. He needed to put the money away and give it to Zhizhi to keep during the day.
He had 50 yuan on him when he came down the mountain; it was for his mother.
It was getting late, so An Qingbai went back to his room to get some rest, as he had to go to work tomorrow!
Shi Meiling was relieved when she heard him return to his room. She was always worried when her third son went up the mountain, fearing that something dangerous might happen to him.
The next morning, An Qingbai went to find Zhuang Zhimeng and told her that he would be waiting for her outside after lunch so they could go to his secret base together.
Zhuang Zhimeng guessed that he had completed the transaction, so she nodded.
An Qingbai gave Zhuang Zhimeng 500 yuan and some tickets this time.
"Wow, that's a lot of money this time?"
"Yes, we sold a bit more game this time, and I also had him get some receipts so you can use them!"
"Why are you so good to me? Aren't you afraid of spoiling me?"
"Don't worry, I'm going to spoil you and make you unable to live without me!"
"Brother Qingbai!" Zhuang Zhimeng couldn't help but throw herself into An Qingbai's arms.
An Qingbai also hugged the beauty in front of him tightly, his arms tightening as if he wanted to give her the whole world.
The two did nothing but quietly embrace each other, listening to each other's heartbeats, feeling at peace. They wished time could stand still at this moment!
The two encountered the captain who was looking for them as they descended the mountain. The captain was clearly very excited.
"They're looking for you two! Great news! Excellent news! The commune sent a notice saying they're going to the county tomorrow to give you both an award!"
The captain looked at them both calmly and composedly: "That's going directly to the county, which is different from our town. It's such a prestigious thing! Why aren't you two excited? Did you already know beforehand?"
