Yang Xiaobei immediately laughed. "I knew it. I was saying it. We had so much fun chatting before. How could you be so distant from me after only a few months? It's settled then. I'll go to the hospital cafeteria to get lunch tomorrow at noon. We'll all eat together then. It's more lively when there are more people around, and the food will taste better, right?"
…
Yang Xiaobei left the hospital with Jiang Shushu. "Thank you for borrowing my bicycle and helping me get food. Yang Xiaobei, thank you for your help."
"You're welcome. We're old acquaintances. Besides, your parents and Uncle Eight have always taken good care of me. It's only right."
Yang Xiaobei glanced at Jiang Shushu and decided to test it out. "We are old acquaintances, but it seems awkward to call each other by our full names. I called you Shushu just now. How about you call me Xiaobei from now on?" As long as Shushu has some feelings for me, she will definitely not refuse this request.
Jiang Shushu had originally planned to see if there was any possibility between him and Yang Xiaobei. He agreed to such a simple request without hesitation. "Sure! You're right. I've known you for almost two years, and calling you by your full name does feel a bit awkward. So, I'll call you Xiaobei from now on."
The two of them arrived at the bicycle parking area. Jiang Shushu saw the small and exquisite bicycle and felt a little more favorable towards Yang Xiaobei. After all, a bicycle as small as a 24-inch bicycle was hard to find in Q City. "Thank you for your trouble."
"Girls should ride smaller bikes, which are easier to ride."
"Has anyone ever told you that you're sweet and thoughtful?"
"You want to say it? Then you will be the first lesbian who says that I am considerate and thoughtful." I definitely don't have any peach blossoms.
"Haha, yes, you are very considerate and thoughtful." This is the rhythm of no female lesbians chasing him.
"Then I'll go back first. You live nearby, so I'll bring you breakfast and dinner these days. Thank you for your help. You've worked hard these past few days." No matter how much he tried to persuade Yang Xiaobei to give him the 30 yuan, he refused to take it back. Only after he knew that someone was paying for his medical expenses did he reluctantly take it back. He probably wouldn't take the lunch money if he gave it to Yang Xiaobei, so he could just bring him breakfast and dinner to offset the loss.
"Great! The food you cook is so delicious, I'm in for a treat." By taking advantage of the meal, they could see each other sooner or later. He still had four pounds of meat coupons, so he could use the meal as an excuse to give Grandpa Jiang and the others a better meal at noon.
"I'm leaving. See you tomorrow morning. Meet me at the Public Security Bureau at 7:20 tomorrow."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
The next morning at 7:16, Jiang Shushu saw Yang Xiaobei standing at the door from a distance.
Jiang Shushu stopped in front of Yang Xiaobei and said, "Xiaobei, good morning. Here, your breakfast. I've got a little of everything. Go back quickly and eat it while it's hot. Bring the lunch box back to me in the evening."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Yang Xiaobei ran back to the dormitory, opened the bag, took out the lunch box and a bag of well-tied pork rib soup. Yang Xiaobei opened the lunch box and found three compartments filled with pork porridge, meat dumplings, and fried eggs respectively.
"It's so rich!" Yang Xiaobei started eating with relish.
Jiang Shushu accompanied Jiang He and the other two for breakfast, then washed the dishes before carrying the lunch box home.
At noon, after Yang Xiaobei got off work, he ran faster than a rabbit and ordered a set meal of one meat, one vegetable and one soup for each of Jiang He and the others. Yang Xiaobei accompanied the three old people to finish their lunch and chatted for a while before leaving.
On the 18th day of the first lunar month, Yang Xiaoxi, who had been detained for 15 days, finally walked out of the Public Security Bureau. When Yang Xiaoxi saw Yang Xiaobei who had just returned from outside, he was extremely jealous.
Yang Xiaobei saw that Yang Xiaoxi was not in a good mood either: I didn’t expect that half a month had passed already, time flies so fast!
Yang Xiaobei looked at Yang Xiaoxi's angry face and felt happy again. "Are you not convinced? You want to hit me? Come on, come on, come on. I won't hide. If you have the guts, hit me. I want you to go back the same way you left."
"Just wait for me, I won't let this go."
"Then I'll wait. If you have the ability, use it. If you don't, just hold it in. I'm not the Yang Xiaobei of the past who would let you step on me." After a while, when you go to the countryside, you won't be a bother to me anymore.
Yang Xiaoxi returned home angrily. When Zhao Cuihua saw Yang Xiaoxi coming home, she immediately hugged him and burst into tears, "Xiaoxi! You finally came out. Mom missed you so much..."
"That's enough. If you miss me, why don't you go see me? If you miss me, why don't you save me? If you miss me, why don't you avenge me? Yang Xiaobei hurt me so badly, why don't you go and make trouble for him? How come he can still be a police officer safely until now?"
Zhao Cuihua: “…” I also want to make a fuss, but my whole family disagrees. What can I do?
"Xiaoxi, that bastard Yang Xiaobei is different now. He's very cruel and ruthless. It's not that we don't want to save you, but we can't. We'll just ignore him from now on..."
"No, I must avenge this. You are his mother. What can Yang Xiaobei do to you? Mom, you go to him and make trouble tomorrow. Tell him that Yang Xiaobei is cold-blooded, abandoned your parents, doesn't support you, and took away his job. I want to make sure Yang Xiaobei can't stay in Q City." Yang Xiaoxi's face twisted as she spoke.
The brothers Yang Xiaodong and Yang Xiaonan, who had just returned from get off work, happened to hear Yang Xiaoxi's last two sentences. Fearing that something irreparable would happen, the brothers quickly ran into the house.
Yang Xiaonan: "Mom, don't listen to the nonsense the third brother is talking about here. You are not allowed to go to Yang Xiaobei's place. We will be strangers to Yang Xiaobei from now on. Don't make trouble for no reason."
Yang Xiaodong: "Mom, now that the third child is out, we finally have a peaceful life. Don't make things worse."
Yang Xiaoxi said angrily: "You two, are you still my brothers? You actually helped Yang Xiaobei and not me. Didn't you see how badly Yang Xiaobei hurt me?"
Yang Xiaodong: "It was you who started the trouble first. If you didn't, how could Yang Xiaobei cause trouble to you? Besides, if you go head-to-head with others, you should at least look at your opponent. Why do you still want to cause trouble for yourself when you know you can't win?" You said you were asking for trouble, why did you drag us into it?
In the end, the three brothers started arguing, but the score was 2 to 1, so Yang Xiaoxi won neither the argument nor the fight.
Yang Xiaobei helped to make lunch for five consecutive days, except for the first night. He came to the hospital every night for the rest of the days. That night, Jiang Laoba saw the backs of Jiang Shushu and Yang Xiaobei leaving together and was lost in thought.
Jiang He: "Old Eight, what are you thinking about? I called you twice and you didn't respond."
"Fifth brother, I was just thinking about something important. I seem to have discovered something extraordinary."
