Sunset, rice fields, cicadas chirping, frogs croaking.
Zhang Chao rode his Jialing motorcycle across the fields, passing by the rose-lined hedge wall beside the lotus pond. He saw Lin Can lying on a lounge chair under the grape trellis, drinking snow and staring intently at his phone. From time to time, a woman's coquettish voice came from the phone: "Hey, don't just focus on commenting on my thighs. If you want to experience them, send me a private message..."
"Achan, what are you looking at after your trip?" Zhang Chao parked his motorcycle at the door and walked over with a lustful look.
"I'm looking at cars."
"I know you're looking at a 'bike' you can ride. Can you tell me how fuel-efficient it is?"
Zhang Chao took a look and saw a beautiful woman in a professional attire, an OL skirt, selling a Bentley.
"Oh, it turns out they're selling Bentleys. I thought they were selling Mercedes-Benzes."
"Brother Chao, please sit down. I'll pour you a drink. Have you been busy lately?"
"It's okay. I've been installing carpentry at Sheng Tang International. By the way, I've been very busy lately. Do you want to help?"
In the past, Lin Can would help Zhang Chao with carpentry work during the summer vacation.
"I've recently taken on a few photography jobs, so I'm not so short of money for now. If you're really too busy, call me and I'll help you."
Lin Can feels proud of being rich, but he does not think that he is superior to others, rejecting or looking down on everything he did to make a living, such as helping people with photography and doing carpentry work.
He feels that these are all valuable experiences in life.
After all, if God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer and his muscles and bones work hard.
Lin Can put down his phone and stood up to pour drinks. Zhang Chao sat down on the recliner, took his phone and looked at the long-legged office lady in the Bentley live broadcast room.
"Car dealerships are really aggressive these days, and everyone's really good at skirting the line. Your Bentley livestream is still too conservative and boring. Go to the livestreams of low-end car brands, and the models there are wearing revealing clothes."
"Go check it out when you have time."
In fact, Lin Can was looking at cars in these luxury car live broadcast rooms, wanting to pick one that suits him.
However, the fact that he was rich was too bizarre, and Lin Can did not intend to let the villagers know.
"I forgot which brand's livestream it was, but the car model was introducing the car and she was so uncomfortable she couldn't even stand, her legs were bent all the time. I thought she was just feeling unwell, but then she finally let out an "Ah~" and couldn't get up from the passenger seat. Damn, next to me, I realized there was a toy hidden in the room. It was so exciting."
Zhang Chao was drooling, but there was nothing he could do. His wife had just given birth to their second child, and he had been feeling very depressed this past year. Adding to the pressure, he had no time to have fun.
Lin Can looked at him and sighed.
Before Zhang Chao got married, he was quite handsome and romantic, with a proud personality and a light in his eyes.
After getting married, I was bent by the pressure of life, my pride turned into compromise, there was no light in my eyes anymore, and my only concern was to support my family.
So, Lin Can really wants to ask: What does marriage bring to men?
Zhang Chao gulped down his drink, stood up and patted Lin Can on the shoulder: "Let's go to my house for a meal and a few drinks."
Lin Can glanced at the braised meat on the motorcycle at the door. It was not enough to eat. People really had to be frugal now.
"Okay, you go back, I'll go to the fields and catch some eels to add to the dish."
"good."
Zhang Chao rode his motorcycle to the yard over there.
Lin Can took a bucket and went to catch river fish. Life in the countryside is very good, all of which are gifts from nature.
…
At night, under the starry sky, in the yard.
Braised pig's trotters, stir-fried eel, twice-cooked pork, jelly, tomato and egg soup, go for it.
A simple dish, made with friends I've grown up with.
"Brother Chao, your cooking skills are getting better and better. You couldn't even cook noodles before."
"Well, I can do more than just cooking now. I can also clean, wash clothes, and do all kinds of housework. Sigh..."
"Why are you sighing, Zhang Chao? Are you dissatisfied with something?" Sister-in-law Liu Qin coaxed the child to sleep, came out of the house holding a bottle of juice, swaying her slim waist and plump buttocks.
"No, no, no, how dare I be dissatisfied? I'm very satisfied. I'm so damn satisfied with my life!!!"
Lin Can held back his laughter.
Liu Qin snorted, sat down beside him, and scooped a bowl of juice. "Acan, try the bayberry and lychee drink made by my sister-in-law."
"It looks delicious. Let me try it..." Lin Can took a sip and nodded repeatedly: "This tastes good. How is it made?"
"It's very simple. First, boil the bayberry and rock sugar in water for a few minutes. Then add the lychee, lemon, and lime and boil for 2 minutes. Let it cool and you can drink it."
Lin Can nodded, tasted it with the tip of his tongue, and checked the detailed ingredient list. Ever since he acquired this skill, he would check it whenever he thought something was delicious, so that he could easily replicate the food.
【Name: Bayberry Lychee Drink】
Safety: 5 stars
【Function: Clears away heat and relieves summer heat, a must-have in summer.】
[Ingredients: Bayberry, lychee, lemon, lime, rock sugar, water, milk.]
"Sister-in-law, does this still need to be released?"
"No milk is released, oh..." My sister-in-law suddenly thought of something and smiled awkwardly.
Lin Can was puzzled, wondering if his sister-in-law had a secret recipe that she wasn't telling him.
[System ingredient list reminder: Just now, when my sister-in-law was feeding me, she accidentally splashed a few drops into the drink.]
Oh~ no wonder it smells so mellow.
Zhang Chao: "By the way, Achan, the demolition office came again yesterday. I heard that they are really going to demolish the house this time."
"It's been years, and every year they have to mess with everyone's mentality. Do you still believe it? I don't believe it anyway."
Before, there was talk of demolition, and the word "demolition" was written on the walls of every household in Yangguang Village.
It is said that a foreign designer sensitively captured the Chinese element "demolition" during his travels in China. He felt that the word "demolition" was synonymous with the word "blessing", because he heard people say that "demolition" represented that Chinese families were about to become wealthy and was a symbol of a happy life.
