Chapter 15 The Third Brother Who Forgot His Sister When He Was Attractive
Su Heng is willing to use oil when cooking, and a plate of red stir-fried rabbit cubes with the aroma of the wok is served.
The aroma is so fragrant that the kids next door would cry with envy.
“Dinner is ready!”
The greasy spicy diced rabbit with white rice was so delicious that Su Heng generously fried the whole rabbit in the pan, and the two of them ate it to their heart's content.
Su Heng felt that this was the best meal she had ever had since her rebirth.
"Lu Mingchuan, rabbit meat is delicious. Let's get some rabbits and raise them."
Running in the mountains still depends too much on luck. It’s like raising rabbits to eat every day.
Lu Mingchuan didn't say no, but paused and said, "No one in the team raises this, so I have to catch it myself."
Rabbits reproduce very quickly and do not care about blood relationships. Just two of them can give birth to a large litter.
But they had already eaten the first one.
Su Heng looked at the rabbit meat in the bowl and was silent.
"It's okay. I'll try my luck next time."
Lu Mingchuan thought for a moment and said, "Don't chase rabbits on the mountain. It's very dangerous. I'll try setting a trap at the foot of the mountain."
"That's okay too."
After dinner, the two of them went together to process the Codonopsis pilosula they had just dug.
Su Heng didn't know the exact price. She wanted to sell it on the black market but was afraid of being ripped off, so she decided to go to the brigade clinic to ask Dr. Liu first.
When Dr. Liu saw her, he asked, "How's the wound on your head? Let me take a look at it for you."
Su Heng had almost forgotten about it and quickly said, "No need. I've been feeling much better these past few days. Doctor Liu, I came to see you today for something else."
Doctor Liu's attention was diverted upon hearing this. "What's the matter?"
Su Heng took out a piece of Codonopsis pilosula from the small cloth bag she was carrying. This piece of Codonopsis pilosula had not been completely dried in the shade, so its size had not shrunk much.
Doctor Liu took it, piqued, and said, "This is a wild one. Wow, it's quite large. It must be at least three to five years old."
Su Heng smiled and said, "I don't know the price of medicinal materials. How much is this thing worth if it is sold?"
"From what you said, you got a lot?"
This Doctor Liu is really smart.
Su Heng: "I was just lucky. I managed to dig up about ten plants."
"That's pretty good, but unfortunately my clinic doesn't have much use for these rare items. If you could find a way to get them in the city, you might be able to sell them for a dollar a pound."
The two knew exactly what he was talking about.
Su Heng didn't expect it to be so valuable. After she learned about it, she took out a small bag of honeysuckle that she had specially prepared and put it on the table.
"Thank you, Doctor Liu. This is some honeysuckle I picked on the mountain. You can keep it to make tea."
"You girl, you are so polite."
Doctor Liu said this and accepted it anyway.
Su Heng decided to dry some before taking them to the city. It happened that she had to go to the market the next day and had no time to go to the city.
The next morning, Su Heng went out with a bamboo basket on her back and looked at Lu Mingchuan who was left alone at home, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.
Although Lu Mingchuan was a big guy sitting there and had nothing to do with the poor little thing, everyone was going to the market, but he could only stay at home.
"Lu Mingchuan, is there anything you want? I'll bring it back to you."
The person being asked said, "No," without even looking up.
"Okay then, I'll see if there's anything delicious and bring it back so we can eat together."
The tone was like coaxing children, two children.
Lu Mingchuan's eyes flickered as he looked at Su Heng: "Don't play too late, it's hard to walk at night."
"Got it, let's go, bye."
An east wind blew, blowing down the locust flowers from the tree. Lu Mingchuan brushed off the flowers that were stuck to his body.
It turned out to be the wind.
When Su Heng arrived at the intersection of the brigade center, Chen Xiang was already waiting there, as was a younger sister named Luo Yan whom she knew well.
They were all about the same age, Chen Xiang and Luo Yan were both about sixteen or seventeen years old.
Chen Xiang went back to her grandmother's house to play yesterday, and only today did she hear about Su Heng's heroic deeds of fighting two old ladies alone yesterday.
To put it bluntly, Su Heng became famous in the Hongxingji Production Brigade.
As she walked over, she received admiring gazes from Chen Xiang and the others.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
Chen Xiang said excitedly, "Su Heng, you're amazing! You actually made those two evil old ladies lose face! You'll be the person I admire the most from now on!"
"Okay, keep a low profile and don't worship me too much."
"You are such a liar. You are not modest at all." Chen Xiang's admiration for him instantly dropped.
Luo Yan was a little shy. She smiled secretly, not realizing there was anything wrong. Instead, she thought Su Heng was quite interesting.
"No matter what, you've helped us vent our anger. Those two old ladies are so talkative that they want to stick their tongues out for miles. They make up stories about me every day and even say that I'm stubborn and it's hard for me to find a husband. But I'm not going to their house!"
Su Heng shook her head after hearing this. It seemed that these two old ladies had been holding a grudge against each other in the team for a long time.
A few of them chatted and laughed, and they didn't feel bored on the way.
The market was on an open space in front of the commune, and it took their team an hour to walk to Xingfu Commune.
There were also people from well-off families on the road, riding their 28-inch bicycles, stirring up a gust of wind.
Su Heng was talking to Chen Xiang when suddenly a bicycle bell rang behind them.
It kept ringing non-stop, which was really annoying.
The three of them had no choice but to look back to see who was the stupid one, and the person just happened to ride next to them.
Oh, it’s Chen Xiangnan.
It was obvious that he had dressed up specially, wearing a white Dacron shirt and army green trousers. He tucked his shirt into his trousers and fastened it neatly with a belt.
Well, his skin color is a bit wheatish and dark, and he looks even darker in a white shirt.
"Third brother? You're going to the market too."
Chen Xiang spoke up, and Su Heng looked at her suspiciously: "He's your brother?"
"Yeah, cousin, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." This village is really small.
Chen Xiangnan responded, but then looked at Su Heng: "Are you going to the market too?"
Su Heng looked at the backpack behind her, which was the same as the other two people's, and said speechlessly, "It should be quite obvious."
Chen Xiang looked at the two of them in confusion, while Luo Yan on the other side was amused.
Chen Xiangnan coughed awkwardly and said, "Um, Comrade Su Heng, are you tired of walking? How about I give you a ride?"
As soon as he said this, the other two ignored people, especially his cousin Chen Xiang, glared at him.
"Third brother, are you blind? You can't see the other two of us? Why didn't you ask me to help you?"
Su Heng is a married woman, and her third brother is so shameless! He just stares at her pretty face.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiangnan showed no guilt at all and said confidently, "There's only one seat, so I can only take one."
This is really my cousin, he doesn’t care about his sister at all.
Su Heng didn't want to argue and simply refused: "I don't need you to take me. It's not appropriate. Let's avoid suspicion. After all, such unpleasant words just came out. I don't want to go through it again."
"I didn't mean that. I was just worried you'd get dizzy on the road..."
After all, Su Heng looks delicate and soft, and she used to faint often while working.
"Thank you, but no thanks."
Chen Xiangnan had no choice but to leave reluctantly. Before leaving, he finally remembered his cheap cousin Chen Xiang and turned back to ask halfheartedly, "Do you want me to give you a ride?"
"Get lost! You bastard who forgets his sister for the sake of beauty, I don't want you as my brother!"
