When the holiday arrived, Chen Ruixue excitedly rode her bicycle straight to the department store.
I'm going there to buy some meat; I've been saving up my meat ration coupons for months.
I already made it to Brother Jiang last time, and I'll go this time.
I want to eat Brother Jiang's braised pork.
Even if she doesn't know how to do it, she can learn!
I also took the opportunity to interact with Brother Jiang in the kitchen, helping him out by tying his apron.
This will give the two more opportunities to spend time together.
Chen Ruixue thought she was very smart.
As a result, he was stopped by Fourth Brother as soon as he pushed his bicycle out of the factory gate.
Chen Ruijun saw his younger sister smiling like a lovesick fool.
He immediately realized that his sister was off work today and had no intention of coming to see him; she didn't look like she was looking for him either.
If He Junsheng hadn't tipped him off beforehand, he wouldn't have known that his sister was secretly having such close contact with Jiang Tiecheng.
He came here specifically to cause trouble.
Seeing her fourth brother blocking her bicycle, Chen Ruixue felt a little guilty. She had promised her fourth brother that she would visit him during his vacation.
But how can Fourth Brother be as fragrant as Brother Jiang?
Where are we going?
"I...I...I'm going out to take care of something!"
Chen Ruixue lacked confidence and felt she would have to use countless lies to deceive her fourth brother.
"What do you need? Aren't you off today?"
Promise me you'll come visit me when you're off work. Come on, your fourth brother will take you to eat something delicious.
By the way, someone recently sent me over ten kilograms of mutton. Didn't you want to eat hot pot?
This is a great opportunity.
I asked Junsheng to slice the mutton. It should be ready by now. We're having hot pot today, it's so cold.
"Look, snowflakes are falling from the sky. Go eat hot pot; it's guaranteed to be delicious!"
My younger sister loves hot pot with mutton the most.
Chen Ruixue's eyes lit up when she heard this.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.
"Fourth Brother, can I bring someone along to eat hot pot?"
"No! Do you know that mutton is very expensive? It's not something you can just get whenever you want to eat it."
This was delivered to me after a lot of trouble and effort from someone else.
You think you can get something for free from someone else? Who are you trying to benefit from?
Chen Ruijun looked impatient.
He could see right through his sister's little schemes.
The person they were talking about was Jiang Tiecheng.
Chen Ruixue heard this.
I had no choice but to refuse.
"Fourth Brother, I really did make plans with someone today, and I have something to do so I can't go."
Why don't you guys eat it?
Although it was a pity that he couldn't have hot pot, he thought that his date with Brother Jiang was much more appealing than eating hot pot.
I heard that my younger sister wouldn't even eat her favorite hot pot lamb.
This time, Chen Ruijun became wary. It seemed that the relationship between Jiang Tiecheng and his sister had progressed further than he had imagined.
Without saying a word, he grabbed Chen Ruixue and started walking forward.
"Don't be ridiculous."
You finally get a break, and your brother has already prepared the pot for you. Now you're saying you don't want to eat it? How can you face your fourth brother like this?
I went through so much trouble to come here for you, from so far away, all for you, my little sister, and now you're saying you're not going?
How could you do this to me?
Although Chen Ruixue was resentful that her brother was so forceful towards her, she couldn't help but feel guilty because her fourth brother was indeed doing it for her.
Otherwise, there would be no need for Fourth Brother to come here.
"Okay, okay, then stop pushing me like that, I'll go with you, alright?"
Chen Ruixue's mind raced. It seemed that her fourth brother was forcing her to eat hot pot, otherwise she would have to eat it and then sneak away.
Now Fourth Brother won't be able to find a reason.
Chen Ruixue saw He Junsheng in her fourth brother's dormitory. There was a steaming copper hot pot on the table, with charcoal burning inside, and the whole room was warm and cozy.
He Junsheng was arranging the sliced meat on plates. Plates of mutton were placed on the table, along with tofu, cabbage, and vermicelli, among other things.
Seeing Chen Ruixue enter, He Junsheng said with a smile,
"The snow is coming, hurry!"
I've prepared your favorite hot pot; your fourth brother really went to great lengths for you.
The mutton was frozen outside yesterday; I just cut it up, it's very fresh.
He knew, of course, that Chen Ruijun was trying to match him up with Chen Ruixue.
Thanks to my brother-in-law who provided such a great help.
Chen Ruixue noticed He Junsheng's dissatisfaction. What did her fourth brother mean by this? She wasn't stupid.
At my age, I don't need my fourth brother to play matchmaker.
To be honest, she really had no feelings for He Junsheng.
Chen Ruixue didn't stand on ceremony; it was her brother's doing, so why should she be polite?
The three of them started eating in a lively atmosphere, and Chen Ruixue finished her hot pot lamb.
Stand up directly.
"Fourth Brother, I'm full, I'm going back to the dormitory."
Chen Ruijun hurriedly stood up.
"Are you leaving already? Why don't you stay and sit for a while longer? You're off today anyway."
Let's sit together and chat for a while, otherwise what's the point of you going back to the dorm alone?
He went to great lengths to get his sister and He Junsheng together, hoping they could reconnect.
"Fourth Brother, I've been working for a whole week, and I finally have a break. Now that I'm full and satisfied, I want to go back and get some sleep. You're not tired, but I am."
Upon hearing his sister say she was tired, Chen Ruijun had no choice but to give up.
"Okay, okay, if you're tired, then go back and get some rest."
Junsheng, take Ruixue back!
Chen Ruixue hurriedly waved her hand.
"No need, no need, why would you send me anything?"
Do I really need to deliver it to someone so close by? I'm not a three-year-old girl.
"Alright, Fourth Brother. You still have quite a bit of leftover mutton, can you take it with me? I'll stew it when I get back."
Upon hearing that his younger sister liked to eat mutton, Chen Ruijun packed up the remaining few kilograms of mutton for her without saying a word.
This mutton is hard to buy.
Chen Ruixue picked up the net bag, straddled the handlebars of the bicycle, and rode off, waving to her brother as she went.
"Fourth Brother, I'm leaving now. Call me next week if there's anything good to eat, and I'll come over."
To be precise, I ate and took some, and suddenly I felt particularly happy. It just so happened that I didn't need to buy meat anymore, so I sent these mutton over to Brother Jiang.
Chen Ruijun sighed as he watched his sister's figure disappear.
He Junsheng added fuel to the fire.
"Fourth Brother, Ruixue doesn't usually cook, so how are we going to prepare this mutton?"
Chen Ruijun gritted his teeth in hatred and said,
"Of course they'll use my flesh to offer as tribute to others."
"Junsheng, I have high hopes for you. I think you need to step up your game, otherwise my brother-in-law won't be you."
"Fourth Brother, I want to too, but Ruixue is always so aloof towards me, I don't know what to do."
"No, I can't just stand by and watch my sister jump into a fire pit."
"This Jiang Tiecheng is refusing to listen to reason and is now asking for trouble. It seems I need to teach him a good lesson."
Chen Ruijun said angrily.
