Chapter 388 Chen Lu and Yan Haotian's first meeting

Early the next morning, Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan returned home. This time they took a tractor driven by a villager. They left early in the morning and the sun had not risen yet. The wind blowing on them was quite comfortable.

Along the way, there were farmlands everywhere, a rural landscape.

Who could have imagined at that time that within ten years, this place would be full of tall buildings and rise rapidly?

After arriving at the county seat, I took the train back to Guangzhou.

Xia Juanjuan thought about it and said to Li Zhan: "I plan to rent a house here."

Li Zhan understood immediately after hearing this and asked, "Are you planning to use space to get here?"

Xia Juanjuan nodded and said, "Yes. I will definitely come here more often in the future. In fact, it would be best to buy a house, but we can't be too anxious now. Let's rent a house first and then slowly look for one later."

Li Zhan looked at his wife.

He discovered that his wife was really rich, and last night she took out two thousand four hundred yuan without blinking an eye.

Nowadays, when talking about buying a house in Guangzhou, there is no need to mention money, and estimating the money is not a problem.

Seeing Li Zhan looking at her, Xia Juanjuan asked, "Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

Lizhan smiled and said lovingly, "No, I just want to see. My wife is so pretty."

I feel a little bit lost.

It turns out that Juanjuan can live a prosperous life without him.

However, this is a mentality that he needs to adjust, and he shouldn't say it out loud and make Juanjuan worry.

Xia Juanjuan rolled her eyes at him and cursed softly, "What a character!" As she spoke, she couldn't help but smile shyly.

After returning to Guangzhou, Xia Juanjuan started looking for a house.

Just like when she was in the county town, she mainly went to the old town or the edge of the city near the suburbs to look for houses with yards and in remote areas so as not to attract attention.

Finally, I found a farmhouse with a yard in the southern suburbs and rented it for eight yuan a month.

After finishing this task, Xia Juanjuan went to visit Chen Lu.

When Chen Lu saw her, she was both surprised and complaining. She blamed her for not sending her a telegram in advance before she came, and for only coming to see her now after so many days.

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "I thought that we came here just after you, and you just came home. Your parents must be very happy. How could they get you out to accompany us to the square? It just so happens that my brother is here, so I went to him."

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment: "Juanjuan, your brother is here? I've never heard you mention this before!"

Xia Juanjuan said: "Well, I never had the chance to mention him before. He is serving in the army here."

Chen Lu listened, nodded, and said with a smile: "So that's how it is. Let's go, I'll take you to eat authentic sausage rice noodles and beef offal."

Intestine vermicelli is made of a thin layer of rice wrapper filled with eggs, shrimps, beef, chicken, leeks, etc., and then topped with a special sauce.

Beef offal is salted beef tongue, liver, tripe, lungs, heart, intestines and other internal organs, topped with radish cubes and drizzled with chili oil. It is so delicious.

Chen Lu obviously frequents this shop. As soon as he entered the shop, he shouted in dialect: "Uncle Chen, I want two servings of beef offal, two servings of rice noodles with intestines, both beef and shrimp, and a basket of barbecued pork buns."

Uncle Chen listened, poked his head out, and said with a smile, "Is it Xiaolu? Wait, it will be here soon. Your father is in the kitchen, do you want him to come out?"

Chen Lu shook his head and said, "No need. You guys are busy too. My classmate and I will leave after we finish eating."

After they sat down, Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Is your father a chef?"

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment: "How did you know?"

Then I remembered that I had just mentioned my father. However, she had just spoken in dialect, which is not easy to understand.

Chen Lu asked in surprise: "Juanjuan, do you know our dialect?"

Xia Juanjuan smiled modestly and said, "I can understand it, but I can't speak it very well."

Chen Lu smiled and said, "No wonder you know this! Yes, my father is the chef of this state-owned hotel. Don't make fun of me."

Xia Juanjuan said, "My father is a coal hauler. You didn't laugh at me. Why would I laugh at you?"

Chen Lu also laughed at what he said.

Soon, the food came up. In addition to the three items we ordered, there were also two plates of almond tofu.

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen put his hand to his mouth, made a "huh" gesture, and then laughed softly, "Your dad asked me to give it to you secretly."

Chen Lu couldn't help but smile sweetly after hearing this, and whispered to Uncle Chen: "Tell my dad, thank you, and thank you, Uncle Chen!"

Only after Uncle Chen left to do other things did Xia Juanjuan and Chen Lu start eating.

The rice noodles are soft, glutinous, cool and smooth, and paired with chewy shrimps and fresh beef, it is simply delicious.

The beef offal was well-seasoned. There were no radishes in this season, so fried tofu, sour bamboo shoots, quail eggs and bean sprouts were put in it. They were soaked in brine and seasoned with chili oil. Xia Juanjuan ate it with great enthusiasm.

Paired with the delicious barbecued pork buns and the cool and smooth almond tofu, Xia Juanjuan felt that her life was complete.

Apart from anything else, it is worth the trip just to have this taste of authentic food.

After dinner, the two went to a teahouse to drink tea to digest the food. They spent some time there before coming out.

Just after they left the teahouse, a jeep happened to pass by and stopped when it saw them.

Yan Haotian leaned out of the car window and asked with a smile: "Juanjuan? Why are you fighting here and I am not with you?"

Then, she saw Chen Lu beside her and was stunned for a moment.

Chen Lu did not expect to meet Xia Juanjuan's brother suddenly, and Yan Haotian was on official business, wearing a military uniform, looking heroic and handsome.

When she looked again, she saw Yan Haotian was also looking at her, and Chen Lu couldn't help but blush.

Yan Haotian came back to his senses and asked with a smile: "Juanjuan, is this your classmate?"

Seeing the atmosphere between the two of them was a little subtle, Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but curl her lips and said with a smile: "Yes, that's the roommate I mentioned. She lives in Guangzhou and her name is Chen Lu."

Yan Haotian was generous. He grinned, showing his eight teeth, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, classmate Chen Lu!"

Chen Lu said shyly: "Hello... hello."

Yan Haotian looked back at Xia Juanjuan: "Where are you going next? I'll take you there."

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Are you on official business? Let's go by ourselves."

Yan Haotian shook his head and said, "My official duties are completed. I am going back to my place of residence. It won't cause any trouble."

Xia Juanjuan said, "Okay."

Chen Lu was still a little embarrassed, but Xia Juanjuan pulled him into the car and said, "It's okay. The direction of your home is the same as the direction of where my brother lives, so it's on the way."
