"Who's your uncle?" Zhang Xingrong said angrily. "Why aren't girls suitable? Are you discriminating against me?"
"Of course not!" Lu Ran quickly explained. Zhang Xingrong hadn't been kind to him recently, and now she was picking on him. He had to coax her. "Girls are capable too, and you're the most capable!"
Huo Chenglin couldn't help laughing when he saw Lu Ran trying to please the girl.
It feels like my life has not been lived in vain as I can still see Lu Ran being so humble in this lifetime!
When Lu Ran heard the voice, he turned around and glared at Huo Chenglin in annoyance. Before going to bed tonight, he must teach this brat a lesson for daring to play tricks on him!
Zhang Xingrong, however, still had things to do. She wanted to go into the mountains. There were many good things here, such as herbs, mushrooms, Hericium erinaceus, and wild game. She had wanted to go there for a long time. But she had been busy renovating the house before, so she didn't have time. Now that she had time, she didn't want to miss it.
She handed the hammer to Lu Ran and went to get the backpack.
"Where are you going?" Lu Ran asked.
"I'm going to pick some wild vegetables and herbs, or we'll just have bacon tonight?" she said angrily. Ever since she decided she didn't want to be involved with Lu Ran, she felt less restrained. She could treat him however she wanted and say whatever she wanted. There was no need to be cautious.
"It's not safe for you to go alone, I..."
"It won't be unsafe for me to go with her," Wen Shize picked up the backpack from the corner and followed. He turned around and said to Lu Ran, "Nephew Lu, I'm old and not suitable for heavy work. You guys should fix the roof quickly and then go dig the canal in a few days."
Zhang Xingrong also nodded: "Since you said you want to help repair the house, then do it well, otherwise there will be no place to sleep."
As they talked, the two of them went to the mountains to eat porridge together.
Lu Ran glared at Wen Shize's back, his face turning blue with anger. For the first time, he felt like he was shooting himself in the foot!
"He's really an old fox!"
"Hahahahahaha!" Huo Chenglin finally couldn't help laughing.
Lu Ran turned around and looked at Huo Chenglin coldly: "Brother Huo, let's practice when we have time."
Huo Chenglin clearly heard "I want to beat you up", but he was no pushover: "Just practice, it's been a long time since I last practiced, and I want to see if you've improved or if you can't give up."
He used to lose to Lu Ran often. After not seeing him for so many years, he wanted to see if Lu Ran could still beat him!
"Okay, see you in the wild tonight, get to work!"
The two men quickly went to repair the roof. The two grown men were no strangers to this kind of work. Jin Haiwen's house was not big and the things were ready, so the two worked quickly and they would definitely be able to repair the roof before dark.
But unexpectedly, Liu Qing came hurriedly over just as they started working.
He took a nap after lunch. When he woke up, his subordinates told him that someone was driving to visit Jin Haiwen. He was so surprised that he ran over quickly.
"Comrade Jin Haiwen, are your relatives coming again?"
He shouted at Jin Haiwen, who was picking vegetables in front of the house, but his eyes were studying the two people on the roof. He had already seen the car outside when he came here, and it was obvious that the car was not something that ordinary people could afford!
Jin Haiwen quickly stood up: "Director Liu!"
"Hey, no, no, don't get up!" Liu Qing was extra polite to Jin Haiwen this time and went up to stop him. "If your legs are inconvenient, you don't have to get up."
Jin Haiwen certainly knew Liu Qing's character, but as a true man, he could bend and stretch, so he didn't show anything, but just said politely, "Thank you, Director Liu."
"Are these two people on the roof also your relatives?" Liu Qing asked.
Jin Haiwen shook his head: "No, she's my niece's friend!"
