Chapter 123 My Stomach Is Growing



Shi Lingheng's gaze swept over the complicated messages and landed on one particular one.

The Tian family once kicked out a child named Fu Weidong.

His heart was pounding, but he managed to calm it down.

Fu Weidong, isn't that the name of the child who is with Fan Xiaofan?

Zhang Desheng had also seen the news, but he didn't take it to heart, nor did he connect this Fu family with the Fu family he served. After all, in this vast world, even in Qingcheng, there are quite a few families with the surname Fu.

Among all these miscellaneous messages, this bit of so-called gossip is completely insignificant.

After Shi Lingheng left, Zhang Desheng stayed behind to deal with the papers.

Fan Yunyan had settled down in Xiangyang Brigade and should have informed Beidu long ago, but for some reason, he kept it to himself.

Ultimately, no matter how much I try to comfort myself, things are different now; there's a growing distance between us.

When Shi Lingheng returned, he said nonchalantly, "I'm going to the post office to send a letter. Does anyone want to help me mail it?"

Apart from Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yi, who lowered their eyes, everyone else at the educated youth settlement immediately shouted, "I..."

In the blink of an eye, Shi Lingheng had several letters in his hand.

After thinking for a moment, Fan Yunyan said, "I'll go with you. I'll go see my second sister."

Shi Lingheng nodded, and the two of them rode in Uncle Niu's oxcart to the county town. Fan Yunyan also went to the post office, but he didn't send a letter. He just sent a one-word telegram: "Peace."

Ling Heng mailed the letters in order, and Fan Yunyan said goodbye to him before parting ways.

When Fan Yunyan arrived at the entrance of the textile factory, the old man at the gate asked him who he was looking for. After he told him, the old man smiled and said, "Xiao Fan, alright, I'll have someone call him for you."

He casually beckoned to a palace servant in work clothes and told them to go to the technical office to find Fan Xiaofan and tell them that her older brother was looking for her.

The man responded with an "eh," and curiously glanced at Fan Yunyan.

Fan Xiaofan was engrossed in drawing blueprints in the technical office when she heard someone say that her older brother had arrived. She tidied up her things before leaving.

This is a good habit she's developed. The value of these blueprints is self-evident. President Xu somehow got hold of a safe specifically for her use.

When Fan Xiaofan arrived at the door, she was about to wave to her older brother when she saw Shi Lingheng. She walked over and blinked, "Big brother, did you come with Shi Zhiqing?"

Fan Yunyan shook his head. Shi Zhiqing and he parted ways at the post office, but just as he was about to speak, Shi Lingheng's voice came from behind him: "I suddenly remembered something I need to buy, but I don't have enough money or coupons on hand, so I came to ask Yunyan for help."

With no money in hand, Ling Heng, feeling somewhat excited and unable to contain his emotions, wanted to see Fu Weidong.

He had only met Fu Weidong once, and at that time he thought Fu Weidong was Fan Xiaofan's younger brother. It seemed that Fan Xiaofan was taking good care of the little dumpling.

Upon hearing this, Fan Yunyan reached into his pocket to take out some money and asked how much he wanted.

Shi Lingheng casually gave a number.

Both of their stomachs started growling at the same time. The Xiangyang Brigade didn't distribute much grain to the educated youth; it was just enough to keep them from starving, but eating their fill was a pipe dream.

In fact, the only decent meal Fan Yunyan had after arriving here was paid for by his younger sister.

In an instant, both men's faces turned bright red, after all, they had embarrassed themselves in front of a girl.

Fan Xiaofan blinked, tilted her head to hide a wry smile, and thought, "So this is how embarrassed the big boss is when he's hungry..."

He coughed twice and said, "It's lunchtime, let's eat together."
