Chapter 67
The young man had a serious expression and even looked inside.
Xu Qiang had a stubborn temper. He frowned, and the displeasure and suspicion in his eyes almost became real, the two emotions mixed together.
"Is he really your brother?" Ignoring his words, he questioned persistently.
Qin Shi's mood had calmed down. She nodded calmly, "It's my brother."
Lu Qin exclaimed in his heart, Comrade Qin’s acting skills are really great.
Xu Qiang stared at the two men's faces. His suspicions faded halfway, but then resurfaced. "Then why do you call him Comrade Qin?"
Lu Qin exclaimed, "Wow, you're such a quick thinker!" He remained calm, "This is a habit we've developed since we were little, learned from our parents. Why don't you do this over there?"
It is not uncommon for a couple to come together because of the same revolutionary aspirations and for one to call the other comrade, and it is even less uncommon for the children in the family to follow suit.
Before he could speak, Lu Qin interrupted and reminded him, "Comrade, I'm a little hungry. Do you have any other questions? How about we talk while we eat?"
Qin Shi glanced at him sideways, and her tense body had already relaxed. She remained quiet and didn't interrupt.
Xu Qiang's face twitched, and at that moment the aroma from the state-owned restaurant wafted over.
"Comrade Qin."
Qin Shi almost didn't react, she exclaimed, and turned to look at him.
The young man blinked and said, "This comrade probably isn't hungry, so let's go in and eat. We can go home after we're done."
Just don't give him any chance to react or think.
Not knowing which word touched his nerves, Xu Qiang thought of his purpose. He reached into his pocket for the money, clenched and unclenched his fists, and glanced at Qin Shi unintentionally.
"Well, then let's go in." He held his head high and chest out, then took the first step.
Lu Qin nodded his chin and said softly, "Let's go, it's okay."
Just consider it as compensation for mental damage.
He looked at the man and felt that he didn't seem to be willing to do that.
Qin Shi nodded and went in side by side with him.
When I walked in, I saw Xu Qiang already sitting down near the aisle.
The two walked over, and Lu Qin stepped aside, "You sit inside."
In this way, the person facing Xu Qiang became him.
Qin Shi walked in through the gap between the stools and sat down quietly.
Xu Qiang's eyes were fixed on her. When he saw her sitting down, he turned his head and asked with an unnatural smile, "Comrade Qin, what would you like to eat today? I'll treat you."
There is some intention to exclude Lu Qin.
He had originally planned all the arrangements for her as an only child, but suddenly a younger brother appeared, and most of his plans went to waste.
My mood couldn't recover for a while, and I felt a bit angry.
Qin Shi stood straight with her slender figure, her hands resting on her knees, and she subconsciously turned to look at Lu Qin.
Sensing this gaze, Lu Qin moved forward.
Perhaps because he thought he couldn't ignore him, Xu Qiang managed to force a smile that still had a hint of something in it. "Order whatever you want to eat."
People nowadays are not only hardworking and diligent, but also considerate of others. For example, they don’t go to other people’s homes when it’s time for dinner.
At least Xu Qiang didn't consider any consequences before entering the door.
Lu Qin was waiting for him to say this. "Thank you, comrade. I won't be polite then. It just so happens that my sister likes to eat what I like, so I'll help her order."
Before he could fully understand the meaning of these words, Xu Qiang had an inexplicable bad feeling.
Sure enough, the comrade opposite raised his hand and said, "Waiter, here!"
"Let's get a pot of hot water first so we can heat up the bowls."
I haven't felt relieved yet after taking a deep breath.
"I remember the braised pork in your restaurant was delicious. Oh, and I heard there's a lot of wild onions growing in the countryside lately. Do you have stuffed tofu? I'd like some. And what soups do you recommend?"
While Lu Qin was talking, he kept an eye on Comrade Xu's reaction, because if he didn't have enough money, he and Comrade Qin would have to pay.
He ordered three more meat buns, and seeing that one of the comrades could no longer hold back his expression, he stopped there.
"Okay, that's enough." Lu Qintong nodded to the familiar waitress and smiled at her.
The waitress glanced at the guests at this table, then landed on Lu Qin before leaving.
Suddenly, Xu Qiang stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Lu Qin saw his hands shaking and said, "Okay, come back early. The food should be eaten while it's hot."
After he left, Lu Qin picked up the thermos on the table, rinsed the rim of the cup carefully, and poured her a cup of tea. In just a minute, "What's going on?"
Although he could more or less guess, it was more reliable to hear it from the person involved.
Qin Shi held the cup with both hands, lowered her head and took a sip, frowned, and explained to him softly, "Last time, Aunt Tan came to my house to introduce me to someone."
Because they had worked together before, Qin Shi found it easier to talk about some things in front of him. "You met Aunt Tan when you came to my house last week. She introduced me to Comrade Xu, but we both disagreed. I don't know how he found me. Today was our first meeting, and he stopped me right away."
Lu Qin had a good memory and retrieved this incident from his memory.
"Is that so?" He thought about it carefully and understood that Qin Shi's family background was very good in today's era, and as an only child, she was an only child.
He needs to confirm, "So what do you think?"
Xu Qiang came in from the backyard and saw the "sister and brother" chatting together from a distance.
As soon as he came back, Lu Qin and Qin Shi almost stopped talking.
There were three cups, a teapot, and a bowl of vegetable and egg soup on the table in front of me.
"What are you talking about?" Xu Qiang suspected that the two of them were talking about him, and his face suddenly turned bad.
"You're back. Oh, we were just talking about the food at the state-owned restaurant."
Lu Qin moved the teapot aside to make it easier for the waiter to serve the food. "Let's eat first and talk while we eat."
The spoon in front of him was taken away by a slender white hand. Qin Shi used the spoon to add soup to him first, and then to himself.
Xu Qiang stretched out his hand halfway and then retracted it, his eyes fixed on the frangipani floating in the soup bowl. When he saw it being scooped away by a spoon, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Lu Qin: "Comrade Xu, I'm sorry, we're like this at home too. I'm the treasure of our family, and my sister has to take care of me. You just have to get used to it."
Qin Shi's hand trembled.
Xu Qiang didn't react until the next moment, when he saw Qin Shi not only needing to serve himself, but also Lu Qintian.
In fact, the main reason was that Qin Shi had no appetite and couldn’t eat in front of him.
But Xu Qiang was overthinking it. He suddenly felt like his younger brother needed to be taken care of in every way. His eyelids were twitching.
And the following performance undoubtedly proved his feeling.
If the younger brother is the treasure of the family, then what can the older sister get?
But when he came to his senses, it was too late, because there was not much food left. Although he was young, his appetite was no smaller than his.
Xu Qiang's hands were shaking under the table. Before he could ask about paying, the young man opposite him said, "Thank you, Brother Xu. I enjoyed the meal very much. Will you come again next time?"
Xu Qiang's face trembled, "Let's talk about it later."
If it's a family that favors boys over girls, what's the point of him coming here?
The more I think about this meal, the more I want to vomit blood.
Lu Qin stood at the door and sighed. It would be great if everyone was like Comrade Xu, who could be pulled in at the slightest provocation.
But precisely because of this, it shows that Comrade Xu has big ambitions.
He told her, "Comrade Qin, next time you have something to do, you can come to the food factory and find me. Just tell the old man at the door to ask for Lu Qin."
At this time, the benefits of having a good relationship with the gatekeeper, Mr. Huang, became apparent.
"Well, thank you for today." Otherwise, who knows how long he would have pestered me.
In fact, when she sat at the dinner table later, she understood Lu Qin's meaning and cooperated with him.
He said, "What's the relationship between us? Why thank me? Uncle and aunt have helped me a lot."
This interruption made it too late to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. "It's getting late. Let's go. I'll take you to work. You wait here. My bike is right in front."
Qin Shi looked down at the watch on her wrist. It was already past twelve o'clock. She was holding a cloth bag in her hand and looking at the street ahead. The weather was pretty good today.
Lu Qin rode over on his bicycle, stopped, and propped himself up with one foot. "Comrade Qin, come on up."
Qin Shi shifted the cloth bag from her left hand to her right hand, "Thank you for your help."
She sat on it sideways and held on.
"Are you seated?"
"alright."
After saying that, Lu Qin rode his bicycle forward and said, "Comrade Qin, please remember to show me the way."
"Just go straight ahead, then turn right after you pass the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Okay!"
Qin Shi was sitting in the back, thinking about talking to her mother about this matter when she got home. She faintly smelled a faint fragrance coming from the young man, but it was not very obvious.
After sending her to the entrance of the textile factory, Lu Qin left. He returned to the food factory and had another meal. This day was a very full day.
The repaired camera was wrapped in a cloth before being placed in the drawer.
He came up to Xu Youzhi and asked, "How was your morning?"
When he came back, he saw something on the table covered with paper. This was left for him again.
"What happened?" Xu Youzhi didn't react.
However, without him having to say anything, the others had already explained, "That's Comrade Wu Fangfang, right? The buckwheat cakes she makes are really delicious. I guess they use a lot of oil."
"Xiao Xu, if you like her, hurry up and grab her." Secretary Niu teased.
Xu Youzhi uttered after a long pause, "I'm not in a hurry."
"How come you are the same as Comrade Lu?"
