Chapter 197: Really Useless (Edited)

Huo Lanci came back from the commune at around seven o'clock. When he returned to Wanqing's home, he did not even bother to drink water and started to clean the pig's feet. He was afraid that he would not have enough time and always wanted to finish the halved pig's feet as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Yu Wanqing brought a glass of water and joked with a smile: "Actually, there's no need to be so nervous. You still have three hours before you gather."

As for the thoughtfulness of not letting him become a halved pig's trotter?

That's impossible.

A woman who is too considerate will often be let down, while a woman who is a little dramatic just the right amount will always live a happier life than anyone else.

Therefore, she would never play the role of a kind-hearted, gentle and considerate woman in front of Huo Lanci.

She is so overbearing and unreasonable.

Huo Lanci drank a few sips of the water she brought him, relieving his annoyance. He then chuckled, "It is said that to capture a man's heart, you must capture his stomach. I think this also applies to you."

"I want to be the best, so good that you will never think of replacing me."

Yu Wanqing rolled her eyes: "Don't worry about it. As long as I see your face, my appetite will be very good."

"That's different. Only when you cultivate both your inner and outer qualities can you be irreplaceable."

He rested his head on Yu Wanqing's forehead and said, "Your face may age and your beauty may be gone, but my cooking skills remain."

Yu Wanqing kissed him on the lips and then whispered, "Okay, Comrade Huo is really smart."

After saying this, she quickly distanced herself from him.

Huo Lanci wanted to kiss her again, but when he saw her jump so far, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you running so far? What kind of monster am I?"

Yu Wanqing sneered: "Sometimes you are scarier than a flood or a beast."

Huo Lanci lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Come here."

"Only a fool would go there at this time." After saying this, Yu Wanqing wanted to run, but she was a little slow and was directly pulled into Huo Lanci's arms and kissed hard for a long time.

When he let go of Yu Wanqing, she glared at him angrily: "Aren't you afraid that someone will see you?"

Huo Lanci raised his eyebrows and smiled, with a bit of complacency between his eyebrows: "Why are you panicking? I can guarantee that no one will come to disturb us, so I dare to be presumptuous."

Yu Wanqing rolled her eyes at him and turned away.

Huo Lanci chuckled upon seeing this.

You can run away now, but after you get married, where can you run to?

Yu Wanqing didn't know that someone had already started recording the accounts one by one, and would settle the accounts openly after the marriage.

When Huo Lanci rode his bike and took Yu Wanqing away from the Five-Star Brigade, many people who saw them stopped what they were doing and said goodbye to him.

Someone told him to come back and have a look when he had a chance.

Huo Lanci agreed to all of them with a smile. Wan Qing was still here, and he would definitely come here to see her as long as he had time.

After leaving the village, I could no longer hear the voices of the members. Yu Wanqing smiled and said, "You are very popular in the Five-Star Brigade. It's not like what your mother said, that even dogs hate you."

Huo Lanci snorted when he heard this: "For those who have ulterior motives, if you give them face and speak nicely, you will be wronging yourself."

"When I was little, I had my grandpa and father around, so I never had to compromise myself. After I grew up, I had enough strength, so I would never compromise myself." At this point, he sneered, "So, I don't care what they think of me."

"My only responsibility is to make myself happy."

Huo Lanci explained: "I never take the initiative to provoke anyone. I only speak up when they come to me."

As for the people who talked about him behind his back, saying that Huo Lanci was not good at speaking and had a mouth that offended people.

So what?

His grandfather and parents don't care, his elder brother doesn't care either, he just needs to mind his own business and not worry about other people's problems.

Yu Wanqing raised her thumbs up: "I like your personality. You don't cause trouble, but you're not afraid of trouble."

After hearing this, Huo Lanci couldn't suppress the smile on his lips: "When we have children in the future, we will teach them the same way."

Yu Wanqing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why are you thinking so far ahead?"

"You don't allow me to think about it." Huo Lanci raised his eyebrows: "You are a bit overbearing."

The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the commune.

From a distance, he saw a car parked outside the city gate. Huo Lanci stopped and glanced at Yu Wanqing: "They are here. I need to leave."

He patted Yu Wanqing's hand and said, "Remember to take good care of yourself. I left an envelope under your pillow with a few hundred dollars in it. Use it first. I will send you money every month. Go buy whatever you want to eat. Don't be wronged, and don't be afraid of having no money to spend."

"I don't want it." Before Yu Wanqing finished her refusal, Huo Lanci's cold eyes fell on her. He said in a deep voice: "I am just raising my future wife. This is a natural thing to do."

"Wanqing, be obedient."

Yu Wanqing met his determined eyes, lowered them for a moment, and then hummed: "I understand."

She stuffed the backpack into Huo Lanci's arms and said, "Go ahead. Don't keep everyone waiting any longer."

Huo Lanci took the backpack, held her hand for a while, then turned around and walked away.

Huo Lanci sat in the co-pilot seat and then looked at Yu Wanqing: "Go back quickly and take good care of yourself."

The person in the back seat also waved to Yu Wanqing: "Goodbye, sister-in-law."

Yu Wanqing nodded to Huo Lanci, then looked at Bian Hanhai and the others, waved, and said with a smile, "Goodbye."

After watching the jeep disappear from her sight, she rode her bicycle back to the Five Star Brigade.

In the jeep, Bian Hanhai smiled and teased Huo Lanci: "Boss, if you can't bear to leave your sister-in-law, then hurry up and file a marriage report, and then let your sister-in-law go with the army."

Chen Qiao followed up and agreed: "That's right, I don't know what you are being pretentious about, Boss. It's been a year and you still haven't brought your sister-in-law home. You are really too slow."

Ding Shaoyuan, who was driving, couldn't help but glance at his boss, his eyes full of disdain: "Boss, you really surprised us this time."

"During the time we were in the mountains, we kept thinking, when would you treat us to wedding candy? We waited and waited, until our hair turned white, but we still didn't get two pieces of wedding candy. You really let us down."

Bian Hanhai curled his lips and said, "Uncle and aunt must think that the eldest brother is useless."

"Boss, the group of male educated youth in the Five-Star Brigade are all very good. Aren't you afraid that after you run away, someone will snatch your wife away from you?"

The teasing of the crowd washed away the sadness of Huo Lanci and Yu Wanqing's parting. He glanced at Bian Hanhai who was sitting behind him and said, "I think you think I'm useless."

Since getting on the bus, every word this group of people said was like a stab in the heart.

Each one is more cruel than the other.

I was afraid that his death was not thorough enough, so I wanted to rub salt into the wound.

Bian Hanhai nodded with a smile: "Boss, your intelligence is back? I thought I wasted my two years in the Five-Star Team."

Chen Qiao pushed him and frowned, scolding him: "How do you talk to the boss? Just think about it in your heart. It would be unkind to say it out loud."

Huo Lanci pinched his brows and suddenly smiled: "A Yuan, get off, I'll drive."

The two people in the back seat changed their expressions instantly when they heard this.

Bian Hanhai threw himself on the back seat of Huo Lanci's car, wailing, "Stop it, Boss. I'm wrong. I'm really wrong. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with a gossipy woman like me. I'm petty and ignorant. I'm making trouble. I'm talking nonsense. Please don't drive. Please spare my life."

Ding Shaoyuan also used some force in gripping the steering wheel. If his heart had not been strong enough, he would have braked suddenly.

He looked at Huo Lanci, begging for mercy: "Boss, please spare us. We still want to live a few more decades."

They let the eldest brother drive because they are tired of living, think this world is not a good place, and want to meet Grandpa Taizu as soon as possible?

Huo Lanci chuckled twice: "Stop the car."

Ding Shaoyuan wanted to fight again, but when he met the boss's cold eyes, he was defeated instantly. He had to stop the car, reluctantly gave up the driver's seat, and then accept the boss's soul punishment.

It’s not that Huo Lanci can’t drive, it’s that he is too good at it. His driving skills are also very good. It is definitely a pleasure to ride in his car.

It's just that now, someone said something wrong and provoked him, plus he had to separate from his beloved girl, so he was in a bad mood. So, he felt that as a brother who shared the same difficulties, he should empathize with her.

He was getting wet in the rain and the wind was strong. This group of brothers wanted to hold an umbrella for him. What a wishful thinking.

They grabbed them all, tore them into pieces, and even put them on the ground and stepped on them.

"ah."

After driving for less than three minutes, Bian Hanhai's face changed and he started yelling in the car: "Boss, slow down."

After that, they passed through some potholes and grooves, and their internal organs were almost dislocated.

Huo Lanci simply said, "You often have to go on missions, but you don't even have this little bit of psychological endurance. You haven't practiced enough. After returning to the barracks, I will drive you around every day."

What he said was not a lie. In the future, you may encounter similar tasks. If you cannot bear it because of the speeding, how can you continue the task at hand?

Bian Hanhai and others wanted to die after hearing this.

"Boss, please be magnanimous and spare our lives. We really know we were wrong." Bian Hanhai felt very miserable now. He felt depressed and wanted to jump out of the car because of the nausea that he wanted to vomit but couldn't.

Huo Lanci ignored their thoughts and finally stopped when he approached the city gate.

Several people rolled and climbed out of the car, looking for a place to vomit.

Huo Lanci leaned against the car door, looking at the three people who were hugging a tree and vomiting violently a hundred meters away, and finally felt a little better.

Sometimes, an unlocked mouth means punishment.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the three men came back with bent backs and drooped shoulders.

Ding Shaoyuan, who was already half dead, looked at Huo Lanci cautiously: "Boss, I'll drive the car later. You take a good rest."

Suddenly I found myself feeling really sad. For the sake of everyone's life, I can only be humble.

Huo Lanci raised his eyebrows and glanced at them: "Okay, get in the car, I'll drive slowly."

The three of them heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. Chen Qiao said, "Thank you, Boss, for sparing our lives."

Huo Lanci sat in the driver's seat and asked with a half-smile, "Isn't it a dog's life?"

"Haha." Chen Qiao chuckled twice, and faced the boss's teasing look, and his face became even thicker: "After the life alarm is lifted, we must stand up straight."

Huo Lanci smiled: "Are you sure you want to walk to Yuezhou?"

Chen Qiao stepped forward and said, "Boss, we all know you. You are a man of your words. If you say you will open slowly, you will definitely not do anything rash, so we are not afraid of you."

Seeing the three of them showing off, Huo Lanci bit his teeth and chuckled, "There's a long way to go. We look forward to what happens next."

"I just said I'll drive slower later. I didn't say you don't have to adapt to my driving speed after we return to the barracks." Huo Lanci said with a malicious smile on his face.

It would be written on his forehead: It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

After hearing this, the three people felt a chill down their spines and wanted to say something, but they found that they really didn't know what to say to excuse themselves.

Who called them such bad-mouthed people? They started showing off before the crisis was resolved. They were simply digging a hole to bury themselves.

Ding Shaoyuan looked at Huo Lanci and said, "Boss, when will the notice from Elder Kang come?"

Huo Lanci said calmly: "It will arrive in a few days."

This is the role model in the minds of these young people. When he was young, he led his own team with only 2,000 soldiers and blocked the enemy's 30,000-strong army for three days.

At that time, Mr. Kang was still a young man in his twenties, but he had such ability and courage, which is the spirit that these young soldiers need to have.

Huo Lanci said calmly, "Things will definitely be arranged. Instead of thinking about Mr. Kang, we should think about what we will do after we return."

Bian Hanhai looked at his boss cautiously and said, "I heard that we might be transferred."

"When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chen Qiao kicked Bian Hanhai.

He quickly explained: "I just heard a little rumor. It's not confirmed whether it's true or not. How dare I say anything?"

"If the story is false and we are making a fuss about it, then the boss will get to know us and we will be scolded again."

He pointed at Huo Lanci and said with a smile: "If we want to know now, why not ask the boss directly."

Huo Lanci said calmly: "Where did you hear such messed up news?"

"Boss, are you sure about these messed up news?" Bian Hanhai still believed in his own intelligence. How dare the boss doubt him?

No, the boss should not be doubting himself, but hiding the truth.

Huo Lanci was merciless and rebuked Bian Hanhai: "What are you talking about here without any confirmation?"

"Go back and write a 5,000-word self-review."

Chen Qiao and Ding Shaoyuan smiled at each other, and both of them couldn't help revealing a hint of schadenfreude. They let him show off and hide it from everyone, so he deserved to write a self-criticism.

Huo Lanci reminded them: "Remember this in the future. Don't tell anyone anything you haven't verified."

"Even if it is confirmed to be true, if no one is notified, you should keep your mouth shut."

"For us, speaking nonsense may cost us a lot."

For example, life.
