Isn't that infuriating? It's like saying Sun Kaicheng shouldn't have woken up at all, as if he's hoping for long-term health problems.
Sun Cheng got angry immediately. To be honest, she wasn't such a petty person, but this person had spoken ill of her younger brother when she was at her lowest point in her childhood, as if they were born enemies.
"Fine, I knew you couldn't say anything nice. You'll be just as unlikable when you grow up."
Jin Yushu didn't know what was wrong with him, but whenever he saw Sun Cheng, he wanted to say something to provoke her. Seeing her jumping up and down like a little tiger made him incredibly happy.
"Then spit out some ivory for me to see. It's only been a few years, how come you've changed species?"
And so, the two of them started arguing back and forth, leaving their parents, who were sitting at the same table, stunned. By the time they came to their senses, the two were already rolling up their sleeves, ready to fight, and the meal was ruined.
"Pfft," Qian Xiao couldn't help but laugh. This was just like two little kids pecking at each other; couldn't they just talk things out?
"So this guy named Jin Yushu has always had such a bad mouth?" He's so old and hasn't been beaten to death yet, he's really lucky.
Sun Kaicheng thought for a long time before finally recalling this person from the depths of his memory. He hadn't seen Jin Yushu for ten years. This person was five or six years older than him, and the last time he saw him was when he was five years old.
It's already quite good if you can vaguely remember this person: "No, I remember that I always followed behind my second brother and my third sister back then. The older kids didn't really want to play with me, but they definitely didn't mean me any harm. At most, they just thought the younger kids were too troublesome."
"From what I can recall, this person spoke fairly normally, but the way he said those words just didn't feel quite right."
"That's just a sharp tongue. No wonder your third sister was angry. But your third sister is usually quite easygoing, so how did she end up making an enemy of someone like that?"
Sun Kaicheng shrugged: "Who knows? Anyway, the adults from both families are quite speechless when they meet now, and they don't know how to evaluate their children."
"Then let's find someone else. If these two are together, won't they be fighting every day?" Is that living together or setting up a rivalry?
“My third sister disagrees, saying that she is still young and we should talk about it later. Anyway, she is starting to avoid my mother now, because she is afraid that my mother will force her to go on blind dates.”
The thought of his third sister sneaking around and avoiding his mother made him want to laugh. Did she really think she could hide from him when they lived in the same courtyard? It's just that his mother is now willing to pay attention to her.
“I feel the same way. Why is your sister in such a hurry when she’s only nineteen? Your eldest brother just got married, and your second brother doesn’t even have a girlfriend yet. It shouldn’t be your third sister who’s in the running.”
Are you in a hurry? These days, aren't most kids this age starting to look for partners?
Qian Xiao nudged Sun Kaicheng: "Look over there."
Sun Kaicheng followed Qian Xiao's gaze and saw two people standing at the entrance of an alley behind the train station. These two people were wandering around and didn't look like good people. Occasionally, someone carrying a basket would walk in, but they would be stopped and questioned by the two people.
"You mean, is that the so-called entrance to the black market?" Qian Xiao had never been to a black market before, and it was just like the ones described in novels, with guards at the gate.
Sun Kaicheng quickly pulled Qian Xiao away, saying, "Don't look anymore. If someone keeps an eye on us, that's the place you mentioned. Don't go there."
This guy is reckless; I hope he doesn't actually go there out of curiosity. If he gets caught, all that college education will have been for nothing.
"Don't pull me, I'm not going. I'm just curious. It's the first time I've seen it, so I'm asking." She really had no intention of going. She didn't need anything, so why would she risk going there? It would be troublesome if someone found out.
Although she couldn't possibly let those people catch her, being chased away like a dog for quite a distance was still upsetting.
"These people are really bold, leaving it in such an obvious place. Aren't they afraid of being wiped out?"
"No, they always give us advance notice before they come to inspect. Do you think just anyone can set up a black market? Think about that Brother Long."
"That's right, their backers are incredibly powerful, so they're not afraid of being investigated. I guess they'll only arrest the buyers or the people who come to sell the goods themselves."
"The car is here, get on quickly."
Qian Xiao felt that the buses at this time were not much different from those in later years; they were all packed with people like sardines in a can. The two of them squeezed off the bus, sweating profusely.
Qian Xiao wiped his sweat: "No, why didn't we take a tricycle back? Why did we have to squeeze into the crowd in this sweltering heat?"
Sun Kaicheng... Can I say I've forgotten him too?
"Next time you take a tricycle, hurry up and go inside. I've tidied up the house for you. Put down your luggage and unpack. I'll take you out to eat."
"What, Aunt Qin's place is open?" She hadn't been to Aunt Qin's place for a good meal in ages, and just thinking about it made her mouth water.
Aunt Qin's place closed down in the first half of the year, so she can't get any ingredients for the guests to eat.
"No, we'll eat at a state-run restaurant. We don't know when Aunt Qin's place will reopen."
"I'm not going. It's such a hassle to even get a bowl of noodles at a state-run restaurant these days. Let me tidy up first, and we might as well cook some noodles ourselves. I remember we still have some dumplings from last time. How about we cook some dumplings together?"
"How are you going to sleep at night if you light a fire in that room?" The room wasn't big to begin with, and with a stove burning in the middle of summer, it was impossible for anyone to stay there.
Putting it in the corridor is even worse. At this time of year, you can't even eat wild vegetables freely. If someone sees you eating white flour dumplings, who knows what might happen.
“Yeah, let’s just have a bite then. We still haven’t eaten the rice balls you made last time. Let’s each eat a few rice balls.” This time, they even skipped the cooking steps.
"Okay, I'll go back to work after I finish eating, so I won't stay with you."
He had originally planned to take everyone out for a nice meal, but he noticed that Erdan seemed to have lost weight. However, he didn't insist that Erdan go, since there wasn't much food available outside anyway, and getting meat was a matter of luck.
"What are you saying? I'm not a child, why would I need someone to accompany me?"
Qian Xiao returned a few days early so that there would be fewer people in the dormitory. At this time, there weren't many people in the dormitory. Was it a holiday? Single teachers also wanted to go home and visit their families.
Once inside, Sun Kaicheng opened all the doors and windows: "We were right about what happened last time. I've seen the machine we're researching now, and it's definitely not something we can have right now."
Qian Xiao immediately knew what Sun Kaicheng was talking about. Last year, when Sun Kaicheng's project was halted, the two of them had guessed that the system had been compromised and that the more advanced machines might have been produced by that system.
