"Here, eat it."
Seeing the big steamed bun in Lu Chaoli's hand, Jiang Li waved her hand quickly: "I can't finish it."
"Then we'll each take half."
Lu Chaoli broke the steamed bun in half and shared half with Jiang Li.
Although they are not a family yet, Mr. and Mrs. Lu treat Jiang Li very well. Lu Chaoli also takes good care of her during the meal. Jiang Li feels warm in her heart, and she has a smile on her face throughout the meal.
During the meal, Lu's mother asked about Jiang Li's family. After learning that Jiang Li was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, Lu's mother felt heartbroken and decided to treat Jiang Li as her own daughter in the future.
The meal was a great success for both the host and the guests. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lu were very enthusiastic. Except for being a little reserved when they first sat down at the table, Jiang Li gradually became more talkative, and bursts of laughter could be heard from the room from time to time.
After dinner, Lu Chaoli rode his motorcycle to take Jiang Li back to the Youth League Institute. After hearing the sound of the motorcycle, Xu Yuanyuan, Lin Jieye and others came out curiously.
After seeing the motorcycle in front of them, Lin Jieye and Xi Qingshan couldn't take their eyes off it. They had always wanted a motorcycle, but they had no money and had never bought one, so this matter was put on hold over time.
Now, after hearing the sound of the motorcycle, the two of them were reminded of the idea of buying a motorcycle. They looked in the direction of the sound without blinking.
"Comrade Xiao Lu?"
When the motorcycle came closer, Xu Yuanyuan saw the person driving the motorcycle clearly, and she exclaimed with her eyes wide open.
"Comrade Xiao Lu?"
Lin Jiye and Xi Qingshan also shifted their gaze from the motorcycle to Lu Chaoli who was riding the motorcycle.
"It's really Comrade Xiao Lu!"
Lin Jieye and Xi Qingshan originally had no friendship with Lu Chaoli. They only exchanged a few words with each other when they went to see Liu Jiayi together last time. They ran into each other again when they went to the school to weed. Lu Chaoli had an open personality and was very friendly with everyone, so they became familiar with each other after a few interactions.
Lu Chaoli rode his motorcycle to the entrance of the Youth League Institute. Lin Jieye and Xi Qingshan walked up and looked at the motorcycle.
"Comrade Xiao Lu, where did you buy this motorcycle?"
Lin Jiye looked at Lu Chaoli excitedly. The motorcycle in front of him was even cooler than the ones he had seen in the city! "I bought it in town."
"In the town?" Xi Qingshan was surprised: "There is a car dealership in the town?"
Xi Qingshan has not been to the town since he came to Taohua Village. Zhou Guoqing has always said that this is a remote and poor place with nothing. Xi Qingshan subconsciously thinks that except for the stalls selling vegetables and grains, the town is no different from the village.
I didn’t expect there was a car dealership with such cool and stylish motorcycles!
Lu Chaoli smiled and said, "There is one. The owner is an acquaintance of mine. If you want to buy, you can mention my name."
"That's great! Let's go to town when we have time!"
Lin Jieye and Xi Qingshan looked at each other, and after seeing Lu Chaoli's cool motorcycle, their desire to buy a motorcycle reached its peak.
Just having a dealership is not enough; the main thing is that they don’t have the money to buy a motorcycle.
After thinking of the most crucial point, Lin Jieye and Xi Qingshan were poured with cold water on the spot, and the excitement in their eyes dimmed instantly.
"Forget it. We, we don't have any money right now."
Xi Qingshan was in low spirits, and his desire to buy a motorcycle was instantly extinguished.
Lin Jieye had already agreed with Xi Qingshan that after finishing the work in the fields, he would go out to do odd jobs to earn some money, so as to save more money while he was still young, as he would need money to marry a wife, raise children, and provide for his parents' retirement in the future.
After hearing what Lin Jiye said, Lu Chaoli smiled and said, "Why go out of town to find odd jobs? Just come to the pig farm and work."
"Really? We can also work in the pig farm?"
Lin Jiye and Xi Qingshan's eyes lit up and they looked at Lu Chaoli with surprise.
They knew that Lu Chaoli's pig farm was being expanded, and that they could earn a lot of money every day by working in the pig farm. Whenever they heard how much money the villagers could earn in a day, they were very envious. However, since Lu Chaoli didn't ask them to work in the pig farm, they were too embarrassed to ask.
"Of course, no matter now or after the pig farm is expanded, we will need manpower. If you want to go, you can go anytime. The salary will be charged per day."
"Thank you so much, Comrade Xiao Lu!"
Xi Qingshan was very excited. If Lu Chaoli hadn't been sitting on the motorcycle, he would have walked up to him and given Lu Chaoli a big hug!
"Okay, stop being so formal. Just call me Chaoli from now on."
Lin Jiye and Xi Qingshan smiled at each other and said, "Then you can call us by our names from now on."
While Lu Chaoli was talking to Lin Jieye and Xi Qingshan, Jiang Li had already gotten off the motorcycle and was now talking to Xu Yuanyuan.
When Lu Chaoli looked over, Jiang Li also turned her head to look at him, and their eyes met in the air.
"Go back quickly and drive slowly on the road."
Lu Chaoli curled his lips: "I know, it's hot outside, you should go back soon."
After seeing Lu Chaoli off, Jiang Li, Xu Yuanyuan and others turned around and went back to the Youth League Institute. When they returned to the house, Lin Jieye and Xi Qingshan kept talking about how cool Lu Chaoli's motorcycle was, and they were still talking about it when they got back to the house.
"When I have money, I must buy a motorcycle as cool and stylish as Chaoli's!"
"I'll buy one too! I didn't expect there's a car dealership in town. Let's go check it out when we have time!"
"That's great. We can go to work in the pig farm in the future. I heard from those who work in the pig farm that they can make a lot of money in a day!"
"If we can work in the pig farm, we don't have to travel to other places. Chao Li has really helped us a lot!"
Lin Jieye and Xi Qingshan were talking to each other, but their excited words sounded particularly harsh to Zhou Guoqing's ears.
Zhou Guoqing naturally heard the sound of the motorcycle just now. He originally planned to go out and take a look, but after hearing Lu Chaoli's voice, he retracted his foot.
I didn't expect Lu Chaoli to have the money to buy a motorcycle! ! Zhou Guoqing gritted his teeth in anger. Just as he was furious, he heard other information from Lin Jiye.
"Hu Zi is getting married soon. I heard that Chao Li and Comrade Xiao Jiang are also getting married soon. Chao Li saved us the trouble of traveling to other villages. We will help clean up the house when the time comes."
Xi Qingshan nodded in agreement: "Okay, when we have definite news, we will go over to help."
The two of them talked about this matter while eating, without noticing that Zhou Guoqing's face had turned pale.
Bang--
With a loud bang, Zhou Guoqing threw the bowl in his hand to the ground.
