"Brother, it's delicious. This and this are all delicious!" Shitou said happily, pointing at the food.
Zhang Hewu was stunned for a long moment before he finally reacted. "You...why did you bring so many things with you? Where did you find them? Did you steal them or rob them? What trouble have you gotten yourself into?"
Judging from Rong Ya's personality, she might have really snatched it away!
Zhang Xingrong felt a mixture of emotions when she heard this. She had been such a jerk in the past, doing so many wrong things that even caused her second brother to lose his job at the commune. It was normal for him to be suspicious.
"No, we didn't steal or rob. These are made from wild beans and fruits picked from the mountains." Zhang Xingrong explained.
Shitou was very sensitive and could sense his brother's anger. He grabbed his hand and nodded, "Sister, I didn't steal or rob you. I picked it on the mountain with you!"
When Zhang Hewu heard his brother say this, he no longer had any doubts. Rong Ya's words were not credible, but Shi Tou did not lie.
"Second brother, you must be hungry, eat quickly!" Zhang Xingrong said with a smile.
Everyone was short of food these days. Even at the construction site, there wasn't much to eat. She knew that people usually just ate porridge. Even having sweet potato porridge was a great treat.
Zhang Hewu was really hungry. Seeing these things, his mouth was watering. Seeing Zhang Xingrong handing them to him, he couldn't help but take them. He couldn't stop eating the jelly. It felt so cool and refreshing! And the scallion pancakes were so delicious!
"How do you make the pancakes?" Zhang Hewu was puzzled. Rice was the main crop in their area, and flour was rare, eaten only by city dwellers.
Zhang Xingrong also knew that transportation was not well developed and the circulation of goods was limited. Flour was occasionally available here, but it was rare.
She casually said, "I went to see Grandpa Lu and got it back."
Zhang Hewu had no doubt that Mr. Lu liked Rong Ya very much, so it was no big deal to give her some gifts.
The workers who had been watching them from behind were envious when they saw Zhang Hewu eating.
"Hey, Zhang Hewu, why is there food? Is this my wife?"
"I'm so lucky to have such a capable wife who brings me such delicious food!"
Zhang Hewu heard this and quickly explained, "It's my sister and brother!"
"It's your sister. You are so capable. Do you have a boyfriend?" Some people asked with shining eyes.
Seeing this, Zhang Xingrong hurriedly said, "Got it!" to avoid trouble.
There was disappointment in the eyes of some people on the opposite side.
Zhang Hewu listened, glanced at her, and said nothing. But he couldn't help but wonder if Rong Ya still had feelings for Lu Ran. But she had caused the Lu family's annulment, so she couldn't blame anyone else.
Zhang Xingrong smiled at him and said, "Second brother, ask your team leader to come over and share this pot of red bean porridge with everyone!"
It was a big pot of porridge, more than one person could finish. She prepared all this because she wanted to help Zhang Hewu. Since he was a good person, the workers should remember Zhang Hewu's kindness in the future.
Zhang Hewu took a look and turned around to call for help.
The envious coworkers over there heard there was food and came over with their own bowls. Oh, some porridge now, and some more for lunch later, I'm sure I'll be full today!
Everyone was happy and spoke kindly to the siblings, and even treated Zhang Hewu even better. How could they not be kind when they thought of them when they had something to eat?
Zhang Hewu was of course happy to see that everyone was nice to him. Even some people who usually looked down on him couldn't help but flatter him, which he found funny.
While everyone was distributing the porridge, he pulled Zhang Xingrong aside and asked, "What do you want from me?"
