Chapter 16 Braised Pork
"Brother Lu, they're all sold out."
"We are so lucky today. A boss bought half of our goods right away."
"Yes, yes, if we could do this every day, we could eat meat every meal."
"Taozi, you dare to think more than me!"
“Hehehe.”
Guo Tao doesn't have any big ideals, he just wants to be able to eat meat for every meal one day.
Lu Ping'an happened to be closing up his stall at this time, so he shared the remaining porcini mushrooms with the two of them.
"Brother Lu, no need! I just took it!"
The two of them are not greedy people, they just want to try something new.
Lu Ping'an stretched his hand forward again, "It's not for you, it's for uncle and aunt to eat."
Guo Tao and Liu Feng didn't expect that Lu Ping'an would even think about their parents. They were so moved that they took a step forward and wanted to hug Lu Ping'an and cry.
Lu Ping'an stretched out two fingers in disgust and pushed them away.
"Okay, stop being so rude. How much did you earn today?"
Guo Tao burst into laughter and took out a Big Unity banknote and some loose change from his pocket.
Lu Ping'an estimated in his mind that they only received labor fees.
He counted some loose change, about five dollars, and divided the money in half and gave it to the two men.
"Brother Lu, we don't need so much."
Liu Feng scratched the back of his head and smiled foolishly.
"Yes, Brother Lu, we know how much we can earn."
"Okay, here you go, just take it. I made a lot of money selling mushrooms today, so I can afford this."
Who doesn’t need money these days? The two knew that this was an excuse to make them feel at ease about accepting the money.
The touch and admiration in my heart became more sincere.
It was still early, so after Lu Pingan separated from the two, he rode his bicycle around for a stroll.
Somehow he remembered the White Rabbit candy that Shen Xiaoyue gave him.
Shen Xiaoyue is a delicate and picky person. She even complains that food that others can't eat is not hot enough.
Complaining in his heart, Lu Ping'an rode his bicycle in a twisting and turning manner and stopped in front of the state-owned hotel for unknown reasons.
When he came out, Lu Ping'an's hands were full, including a large portion of braised pork and a large bag of meat buns.
Lu Pingan: ...
How did he accidentally buy so much? !
As soon as you go in and see the braised pork, it's shiny and greasy. Each piece of meat is even in size, with an attractive bright red color. It seems to be covered with a layer of crystal clear amber sugar coating, exuding a mouth-watering aroma.
What Lu Pingan was thinking was: Shen Xiaoyue will definitely love it.
I couldn't help but buy one.
Lu Pingan went crazy, why should he care whether Shen Xiaoyue liked to eat or not? !
He held a portion of braised pork in his left hand and a bag of large meat buns in his right hand, and hung them on the handlebars of the bicycle with a heavy face.
Lu Ping'an pedaled very fast, and when he arrived at Dahe Village, the braised pork was still steaming.
At first he thought that since he was buying it for Shen Xiaoyue, he might as well give it to her directly. Then he remembered that she seemed to say that she went to the county town just to eat the big meat buns. If she ate it now, would she still go to the county town?
No, it should be said that if she ate now, she would have no expectations for going to the county town. He was not the kind of person who would spoil the fun.
The car turned around and Lu Pingan rode back home first.
Mother Lu felt that her youngest son had been acting really abnormal recently.
For example, he usually comes back directly after selling goods. Why would he take a detour to buy food at a state-owned restaurant?
For example, he usually doesn't spend much money and is used to handing it over, but today when he came back, he glared at her and gave her a bag of buns.
Of course, it’s not that Mother Lu coveted his money. Apart from using a portion of it to supplement the household expenses, she saved the rest for him to use when he found a wife.
It’s just that these actions are too inconsistent with Lu Ping’an’s usual style of doing things, and she is really curious.
Lu Ping'an didn't know what Mother Lu was thinking. He only knew that if he didn't go out, the braised pork hanging on the bicycle would be taken away by someone.
He said hello and told Lu's mother that he was back, then left in a hurry.
The buns were still hot and dinner was ready, so Wu Qingyun simply stopped what he was doing and wanted to go chat with his neighbor.
"Do you think that boy Lu Ping'an has found a partner?"
Aunt Liang regrets every day that she did not keep a close eye on her daughter, allowing her to be deceived by the male educated youth. Now she is very sensitive to such things.
"Not really... Who could fancy this silly boy?"
Wu Qingyun was cracking melon seeds, a little bit unconvinced.
Her son looks great, but he can make people angry when he opens his mouth.
If someone likes him, she believes it; if someone is dating him, wouldn’t he feel annoyed and anxious?
"That's because he's thinking about love. He's attracted to someone else."
"If you want to get married, things will naturally be different."
Wu Qingyun thought about it and felt that it made sense. Otherwise, why did Lu Ping'an run back to his room when the girl from the Liu family came yesterday? Even if she was an ordinary guest, he would not be so rude.
Maybe he has a lover.
Wu Qingyun was unsure and thought about asking Lu Guodong to test his son.
Speaking of this matter, she still has to explain it to the Liu family.
If her son really has a lover, she can't let it ruin the whole thing.
But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't find a suspicious person. Wu Qingyun was worried. What should she do if she fell in love with an educated youth?
On the other side, Lu Ping'an rode his bicycle to the educated youth site.
He hesitated for a long time and felt the braised pork in his hand was very hot.
There are many people here with many eyes. If he gave it to her today, there would probably be rumors that they were dating the next day.
After much thought, it turned out that it would be best to meet in the back hills.
It was the slack season during the farming season and people got off work early. Soon a group of educated youth came walking towards this side in a sparse group.
The young man put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall, standing out.
"Ping An, are you here to see Secretary Lu? He has already gone back!"
An educated youth I knew greeted me enthusiastically.
Lu Ping'an nodded, lingered there for a while, and then stood up.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart that this educated youth was not very active in his work.
If you are not active at work, there is something wrong with your brain.
Shen Xiaoyue was just worrying about how to improve her relationship with Lu Pingan today, holding hands and talking about love, but then she saw him standing there.
His eyes lit up, he said hello to the other educated youth, and then walked briskly towards Lu Ping'an.
"Are you waiting for me?"
She spoke with a smile, her tone a little questioning, but her eyes were sparkling and full of happiness, as if she was very sure that he was here to see her.
Lu Ping'an froze for a moment, wanting to say no, but then felt like he was trying to cover up his mistake, so he coughed lightly and nodded.
Then he came closer like a thief and whispered, "I'll wait for you in the back hill."
After saying that, he immediately stood up and walked out with a serious face.
Hu Qingqing looked curious: "Xiaoyue, what did Comrade Lu tell you?"
