Yan family's small building.
"Brother, why are you sorting out the local specialties? Mom will clean them up when she comes back." Yan Ruhai came back from outside and saw his elder brother sorting out the local specialties from the mountains.
Glancing at him, Yan Rushan said, "I'm going to visit Luo Saner and bring some things with me."
"Brother Luo San?" Yan Ruhai was confused. "Didn't you just meet yesterday?"
"Don't mind the kid." He tied the bag of mountain products, twisted it and walked away.
Yan Ruhai hurried to catch up, "Brother, I'll go with you."
Yan Rushan did not refuse. He just followed them since he was visiting them. The Luo family and the Yan family lived in the same compound. The adults of both families worked in the same system, so the houses they were allocated were naturally in the same compound. The Yan family was only a few steps away from the Luo family.
"Hey, Boss Yan, what are you doing? Moving?" A nonchalant young man was sitting on the sofa in the hall. When he looked up, he saw Yan Rushan carrying something. He was startled.
Yan Rushan threw it to him unhappily and sat down on the sofa. "My parents exchanged some for these from comrades from all over the place. I'm giving some to you."
"So kind?"
"Luo San, can you make that new piece of steel?" Without responding to his question, Yan Rushan went straight to the point.
Luo San put the things on the ground and glanced at him. "I knew you were bringing something up for no good reason. What do you want the steel for?" He pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, gave him one, and then looked at Yan Ruhai. "Yan Er, do you want one?"
"Thank you, Brother Luo San. I don't smoke. My mom will smoke me to death if she smells cigarettes." Yan Ruhai found a place to sit down familiarly.
Yan Rushan took it, lit the cigarette, took two slow puffs, and then put it out when he felt it was delicious. "If someone wants it, just get it for me. Money is not a problem."
"How much do you want?" Luo San was smoking with great interest.
"Ten pounds of new steel, and some scrap as well. Let's get about fifty pounds of scrap steel first. We'll have it loaded up and sent to the entrance of Hua University by noon tomorrow. I'll deliver it to someone after school."
Luo Sanlue thought for a moment and nodded readily, "No problem, it's just ten kilograms! I can also take out another thirty kilograms."
"Then give me thirty more pounds."
Luo San: ".......Are you serious?"
"Yes, it's settled. Remember to send it over tomorrow. Ruhai and I will go back first. My parents should be back soon." Yan Rushan left quickly. Yan Ruhai and Luo San said goodbye and followed behind happily. The two brothers left quickly, but Luo San was still in a daze.
Is he shooting himself in the foot? He's just bragging and taking it seriously.
"Brother, what do you need so much steel for? That stuff is only rare in steel mills." Yan Ruhai asked as he walked. After hearing his elder brother's answer, he hurried a few steps to catch up with him and continued to ask: "Brother, just tell me, I promise not to tell anyone."
Yan Rushan paused, turned his head and looked at him, saying, "Don't ask too much. I'll let you know when it's time for you to know."
Under Yan Rushan's sharp gaze, Yan Ruhai curled his lips.
"Okay, if you don't want to ask, then don't ask. You still treat me like a child."
......
After school in the morning, Yan Rushan went to the school gate in person to meet the person who came to deliver steel. Unexpectedly, it was Luo San who delivered it in person in his car.
"Boss Yan, we have the stuff. Thirty kilograms of new steel, but the scrap iron can't hold that much, only about twenty kilograms. Could you please count it?" Luo San opened the car door and got out.
Yan Rushan said nonchalantly, "How can I not trust you to do the job? Get in the car, I'll show you the way and drive you there."
They got into the car one after another, and Yan Rushan pointed the way to Zhong Yuxiu's house. "We're here. Stop at the door."
"Who is this?"
"A classmate. She went to the same place as me in the countryside before." Yan Rushan opened the car door and got out. The courtyard gate was locked, so she must not have returned yet. He turned his head to look at Luo San who had also gotten out of the car and said, "Wait a minute, she hasn't returned yet."
Luo San was indifferent, shrugged his shoulders, raised his eyebrows and asked with curiosity.
"Is your classmate a lesbian?" Seeing Yan Rushan didn't object, Luo San gloated, "Could it be that he hasn't won her over yet?"
It is reasonable to guess that if it is someone else, they can just ask them to pick it up, and there is no need to have it delivered to their doorstep.
Yan Rushan glanced at him sideways and said indifferently, "You are very noisy."
"I really haven't gotten her yet, Boss Yan. I told you when we were little not to put on such a face all day long, as if people owed you money, but you didn't believe me. Look at what's happening now? You can't even get a date."
His eyelids trembled, and Yan Rushan said coldly: "She is not a superficial person."
Luo San couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Shut up." Yan Rushan looked at the girl walking in the distance and scolded in a low voice.
Luo San followed his gaze and suddenly his eyes lit up. The girl who was walking towards him was not dressed expensively, and the clothes were of ordinary quality, but that couldn't hide her natural and reserved temperament. When she came closer, he could see her more clearly. The girl was not very old, and her starry eyes were bright and calm, as if they contained thousands of stars.
She is a wise and clever girl.
"Have you eaten?" Yan Rushan asked, waking Luo San from his gaze. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Yan Rushan; no wonder he couldn't catch up with the girl.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded with a smile, "I ate in the cafeteria and brought it back. Did you get the steel?"
"Well, this is my childhood friend Luo Lijun. He's the third child in the family, so you can just call him Luo San'er. He was the one who helped us get the steel. If we need it again in the future, we'll keep looking for him."
Yan Rushan introduced himself like this, and Zhong Yuxiu couldn't say that. "Hello, Comrade Luo, my name is Zhong Yuxiu. Thank you for your help. I am very grateful."
"Okay, okay, hello, Comrade Yuxiu. Yan Rushan has always had a stern face since he was a child. People who don't know him would think that he is owed a lot of money. I didn't expect that you could become friends with him. You are such a kind and generous comrade." Luo Lijun's praise can make people flatter.
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled, unconcerned. "That's fine. Everyone has different personalities and different ways of doing things. Everything in the world has its own laws of operation. Existence is reasonable. We can't expect everyone and everything to be the same."
"That's right. Comrade Yuxiu is really cultured. Listening to what she says is very philosophical." Luo Lijun felt bitter. The people next to him gave him those dark glances. He didn't dare to bring up the topic again, for fear that he would not be able to follow up and be remembered by Boss Yan.
Then again, Boss Yan's vision is really sharp! Women like Comrade Zhong are completely different from those female comrades nowadays.
"Thank you for bringing it here personally, Brother Yan, Comrade Luo, please come in and have a seat." Zhong Yuxiu opened the courtyard door and said to the two of them.
Luo Lijun subconsciously looked at Yan Rushan.
Yan Rushan's lips curled slightly, "We won't sit down. I'll just move your things in and leave. My parents are still waiting for me at home for dinner, and so are Luo San."
"You haven't eaten yet. If we had known this, we would have eaten outside." Zhong Yuxiu smiled and didn't force it.
Luo San heard the perfunctory tone in her words and remained skeptical about Yan Rushan's ability to seduce people.
It took the two of them three trips to move all the steel in the car into the yard and pile it up in the utility room.
After moving the steel, Luo Sanben wanted to stay a while longer, but was dragged away by Yan Rushan.
