Chapter 135: He may be ugly, but he has beautiful thoughts.
Liao Hong put her hands on her hips and shouted at the top of her voice: "Li Cuiying, how can you be so shameless! You are really good at stealing customers and occupying stalls! With your face full of freckles, you are ugly but have beautiful dreams. You still want to make a fortune? You also make roast chicken, but dogs won't eat it. You might as well call it Goubuli Roast Chicken!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around who were watching the fun couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Li Cuiying was young and full of energy, and she was particularly concerned about her appearance. How could she swallow this insult? She immediately retorted: "How dare you say that to me? You are an old maid, a woman who can't get married, and you still have the nerve to argue with me here? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself!"
The two of them were arguing back and forth, neither of them giving in, and the insults they made were extremely ugly.
Seeing this, Xu Nuo hurried forward to mediate: "Liao Hong, Li Cuiying, calm down and talk it out. It's not a good idea to quarrel in the courtyard!"
Unexpectedly, Li Cuiying was furious and turned her anger towards Xu Nuo: "Who do you think you are? Stop meddling in other people's business!"
Xu Nuo felt angry and amused at the same time, thinking that he had tried to stop the fight with good intentions, but was still being used as a punching bag. What the hell was this!
She was not to be outdone and retorted: "Li Cuiying, you are so angry, be careful that more and more pimples will appear on your face, and then no one will dare to look at your face!"
When Li Cuiying heard this, she was speechless and her face turned red.
Xu Nuo was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore, so he pulled Liao Hong away and said, "Let's go home."
On the way, Xu Nuo asked Liao Hong: "Why did you quarrel with her again? She is not a reasonable person."
Liao Hong complained to Xu Nuo angrily: "You don't know, business has been good recently, she is so jealous, she has been causing trouble for me every other day, today I just can't stand it anymore!"
"Business is good?" Xu Nuo asked.
"Not only are they good, they are extremely popular!" Liao Hong was very excited when she mentioned this. "It can be said that our ducks are hard to come by now. As soon as we set up the stall, hundreds of kilograms of ducks are sold out in less than two hours! We can sell one duck for 8 yuan. If we sell it separately, each duck will sell for about 10 to 12 yuan. We sold a whole one yesterday!"
"One hundred dollars?"
"That's right! My sister-in-law and I are so happy! But Li Cuiying is so angry!" Liao Hong said happily.
"That's great." Xu Nuo was also happy. After all, Liao Hong and Bai Qiu Ning made money, and she was also making money with them.
The two of them talked for a long time before Liao Hong finally responded: "Xu Nuo, you are finally back from the disaster relief. Let's go to my house for dinner. I will welcome you back! Look at you. You have lost a lot of weight in just over half a month. Eat more delicious food today to make up for it."
Xu Nuo felt warm in his heart and smiled and declined: "Liao Hong, I know you feel sorry for me, but my mother-in-law and brother-in-law are waiting for me at home. I have to go back first."
Although Liao Hong felt a little disappointed, she nodded in understanding: "That's right. Okay, then you go home first, and we'll meet again another day!"
Xu Nuo returned to his home, and when he opened the door, he ran into Lu Cheng coming out of the kitchen with a plate of stir-fried pork with green peppers.
His crutch posture was still straight and upright, typical of a soldier. Although his right leg was still a little stiff, he was able to support his body steadily when he landed.
"Sister-in-law, you're back!" Lu Cheng's eyes were filled with surprise and a bit of joy. He paused as his eyes swept over her dusty trouser legs, "It must have been a hard journey, right?"
"Not bad." Xu Nuo pointed at his leg. "It looks better. It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. You still have to be careful and try not to fall to the ground."
"I understand, sister-in-law." Lu Cheng nodded.
"Nuo Nuo!" Cheng Wanying heard the noise and rushed out of the kitchen, wiping her hands. There were still greasy spots on her blue apron. "You are finally back! Give me the bag." The old man took Xu Nuo's luggage bag without saying anything and stuffed a hot towel into her hand. "Chengcheng heard that you were home today, so she went to the grocery store to buy ribs."
Sweet and sour pork ribs, garlic choy sum, and cold-mixed black fungus were placed on the eight-immortals table. The casserole in the center was bubbling with fragrance. Cheng Wanying brought the last dish, crucian carp and tofu soup, to the table and announced that the meal was ready.
Xu Nuo looked at the four dishes and one soup carefully placed on the table. The meat and vegetables were perfectly matched. The aroma went straight into her nose and her heart was warm. "Mom, you are so polite to prepare such a sumptuous meal."
"Today we're welcoming you, so it has to be a sumptuous feast!" Cheng Wanying smiled, turned around, took out a bottle of wine, and poured a full glass for Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo felt warm and touched: "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Lu Cheng."
"You're welcome. We're family! You've been out for half a month and you've worked hard. We're enjoying some free time at home. Isn't it only natural that we cook a meal for you? Come on, let's have a drink! Celebrate the safe return of our Nuonuo!"
The three cups clinked together and were drained in one gulp.
After three glasses of wine, at the dinner table, Lu Cheng asked Xu Nuo about the situation at the rescue site. Although he could not go to the scene, he was always thinking about it and kept paying attention to the matter.
Xu Nuo's expression became serious, and he said earnestly: "The situation at the scene is terrible. Bridges collapsed, roads were buried, houses collapsed in large numbers, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere. The rescue work was difficult and every step forward was not easy. This landslide caused heavy casualties, and many children were buried... Alas... But it's not bad, we saved a lot of people, which is a little consolation."
Hearing this, Lu Cheng's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, his eyes were full of worry, and his mood became increasingly heavy.
He paused, then asked, "What about my brother? How is he?" Xu Nuo hurriedly comforted him, "Lu Chen is fine. He commanded very well and arranged the rescue work in an orderly manner. He should be back soon."
Cheng Wanying was originally full of worry, but after hearing this, her brows relaxed instantly and she said with a smile: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
After that, she picked up the wine glass, raised her head and drank another glass. Then, she looked at Xu Nuo mysteriously: "Nunuo, Mom has good news to tell you."
"Good news? What good news?" Xu Nuo asked hurriedly.
I have seen too many deaths at the rescue sites during this period of time, and my mood has become gloomy.
After returning to her warm home, she didn't seem as happy as she had imagined. At this time, the appearance of good news might make her feel brighter.
"You wait." As she spoke, Cheng Wanying had already put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up.
"Mom, where are you going?" Xu Nuo asked.
"Go upstairs." Cheng Wanying smiled and said, "Wait for me for two minutes! In two minutes you will know what the good news is."
"Is it so mysterious?" Xu Nuo suddenly felt a little expectant.
What good news could come from her while she was away?
