He Hongmei had just heated up the meal when she saw Lu Zhiye coming in and wiped the water on her hands onto her apron.
Lu Zhiye handed the backpack to her. He Hongmei opened it and saw: Wow, not only were there several pounds of meat, but there was also white rice and noodles underneath.
She quickly closed the door and sent Li Hao to play in the inner room.
With a serious face, she said to Lu Zhiye: "Brother Lu, tell me the truth, are you......"
Lu Zhiye's handsome face was full of embarrassment: "Sister He, you guessed it all."
He Hongmei took a big gulp of water. Yes, she should have thought of this a long time ago. This young man was dressed in rags at first, but he was able to spend so much money on buying so many things.
Originally she thought it was a family wedding and that all the family savings had been used up and they needed to buy things.
But this time the young man was too generous, and she was blinded by a few cents, and was actually lured into a circle by this young man!
He Hongmei was very upset. Although her family usually secretly bought some meat from the black market, this was the first time she had such close contact with the black market people.
Seeing her regret, Lu Zhiye smiled and said, "Sister He, don't worry. I'm just selling some things on the black market. I have nothing to do with the people who run the black market."
Hearing this, He Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief.
Her family member Mr. Li is in a special position. If someone catches him, it will be a disaster.
"Really? You didn't lie to me?" He Hongmei looked suspicious.
Lu Zhiye took out the meat and rice and said, "If I was really involved in the black market, would I still need to buy things from the supply and marketing cooperative? What is there in the black market?"
He Hongmei's heart was completely relieved, and she laughed and scolded: "I originally thought you were an honest young man, but you turned out to be a little fox! Tell me, what can you want from me?"
Lu Zhiye likes dealing with smart people. From the very beginning, he asked He Hongmei to help him with the procedures for the bicycle, and every subsequent step was within Lu Zhiye's expectations.
But he didn't expect that He Hongmei was so alert and discovered his intention so quickly.
"Sister He, I don't want anything from you. I just want you to buy something from the supply and marketing cooperative in the future and leave it at your house. I'll come back to get it later.
You are well-informed and should know that it would be very conspicuous for a country person to buy so many things at once. If you are not careful, you will be reported and you will have no place to cry."
Lu Zhiye directly threw out his own handle and explained his purpose.
He Hongmei nodded in agreement: "What are the benefits?"
Lu Zhiye chuckled: "Sister He, meat, rice, noodles, you see it, right? A piece of meat, rice and noodles are all given to you for three cents, no tickets required!"
Lu Zhiye opened the rice and took out some rice grains in his hand. The finest rice grains rolled back and forth in his palm like small pearls.
He Hongmei swallowed her saliva. Recently, a batch of very good rice appeared on the black market, and the price was 1.3 yuan. Although this was related to the overall situation, the quality of the rice was indeed good.
She was calculating the risks of this matter in her mind, and suddenly realized that there was not much risk. They would give her the money and the ticket, and she just had to be responsible for taking it back and waiting for the young man to come and get it!
He immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay! It's a deal!"
Lu Zhiye was delighted and pointed at the things on the table: "A total of four pounds of meat, twenty pounds of rice, and twenty pounds of noodles, a total of sixteen yuan, you give fifteen, and the remaining one is a gift from me as a brother to buy candy for Haohao!"
He Hongmei agreed readily, so Lu Zhiye would not be stingy.
I made an appointment with He Hongmei to write down what I needed on a piece of paper the day before and come to pick it up the next day.
Lu Zhiye left quickly and walked towards the tractor.
The meticulous Lu Zhiye didn't know that his action not only saved a little girl's life, but also saved He Hongmei's marriage.
When Lu Zhiye arrived at the tractor, there were not many people around. Lu Yong was sitting on the tractor, eating two big meat buns with relish.
Seeing Lu Zhiye coming, he snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Lu Zhiye turned around and climbed onto the front seat of the tractor with the backpack on his back. He took out a big meat bun from the backpack and ate it. It smelled delicious!
Lu Yong was shocked when he saw this. He had saved up money and tickets for a long time to buy two! There were actually five or six in Lu Zhiye's paper bag!
For a moment, the big meat bun in his hand lost its taste and he glared at Lu Zhiye angrily.
Lu Zhiye also imitated him and sneered: "What?"
Lu Yong hesitated for a long time before finally saying: "Where did you get the money to buy the big meat buns?"
Lu Zhiye glanced at him and said, "You need to hand over the work points you earn to your family, but I don't need them. I can eat as much as I earn! Eat whatever you want!"
Lu Yong thought thoughtfully: Yes!
He immediately looked at Lu Zhiye with envy: It’s so good to be alone!
Lu Zhiye was in a good mood when he looked at him!
He had been having dreams during this period, and in his dreams, it ended with Lu Yong, who had been at odds with him since childhood, collecting his body and burying it next to his grandparents.
Just because he ruined his last journey, Lu Zhiye doesn't think he is such a bad person. Let's help him if we can!
Moreover, with this stupid appearance, he couldn't do anything with it.
Lu Yong finished the two big meat buns in his hand without any appetite, then reached out to rub his stomach.
The corner of his eyes always unconsciously drifted towards the meat bun in Lu Zhiye's hand. Why did he feel that Lu Zhiye's meat bun was more fragrant than his own? It must be an illusion!
The two men were close to each other, and the aroma of the meat buns wafted into Lu Yong's nose.
His stomach growled again.
Two meat buns are definitely not enough for a half-grown boy.
