Chapter 348 Heart Harvester
“You’re here.”
Lin Yiyi stopped two steps in front of him, breathing heavily with her cheeks flushed.
Zhao Sheng stared at her, his eyes flashing with joy, and said calmly, "Why are you running? Are you so anxious? Am I not waiting for you here?"
Lin Yiyi, who was hungry and thirsty, was very tactful and didn't expose him. She smiled very sweetly, "Because I miss you."
Lin Yiyi looked at her watch and saw that it was almost half past three. "You came just in time. Have you eaten?"
The man tutted, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her meaningfully with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Do you want me or meat?"
"I will still miss you even if you don't bring meat. If there is no meat, I will gnaw you."
Lin Yiyi took advantage of her favor and became arrogant. She showed her teeth as if she was going to bite someone, and when the man helped her open the car door, she climbed in with her butt sticking up.
Without waiting for the man to sit back in the driver's seat, Lin Yiyi opened his backpack, took out the kettle and poured water into her mouth.
Seeing how anxious she was, Zhao Sheng said "slow down", chuckled helplessly, with indulgence in his eyes, and took out the net bag and opened the lunch box.
Four dishes and a box of rice.
Seeing that there were no shrimps, Lin Yiyi felt a little disappointed. She secretly pulled his clothes and whispered coquettishly, "Why are there no shrimps today?"
"I'll buy it for you tomorrow. I didn't go to Xiushui Town today. I bought the food at the state-owned restaurant in the provincial capital."
Lin Yiyi was puzzled, "Provincial capital? Why are you going there?" Didn't he deliver steel pipes to the earthquake-stricken area?
"I changed my job, and the head office asked me to accept a verbal commendation." Zhao Sheng picked the meat from the braised pork ribs and mixed the gravy rice for her.
Lin Yiyi fed the man a piece of braised pork, leaned back in her chair and tilted her head to look at him, "What's the point of verbal praise? Is it just empty promises?"
Is there anyone taking her job?
Drawing cakes to appease hunger? That's a pretty apt description.
The man hummed, tore off the bun skin and fed it to her, "Don't always eat meat, eat some vegetables. If you don't eat five chopsticks today, there will be no shrimp tomorrow."
"I'm eating. I'm eating."
Lin Yiyi was dissatisfied with his threat, so she put the chopsticks back on the lid of the box in front of him, picked up her rice spoon, and quickly took a bite of the corn he had eaten.
"Corn doesn't count." Zhao Sheng knocked on the lid of the lunch box, indicating that she should eat beans.
“Corn is a vegetable.”
Not wanting to argue with him, Lin Yiyi fed him a mouthful of bibimbap to shut him up and quickly started talking about something else.
"Did you accept the commendation? What did you say afterwards? How did you respond?"
After swallowing the rice, Zhao Sheng gave a brief account of what happened in the office.
"I asked the branch factories to post big red papers for commendation, but the main factory didn't need to do that."
Why did he suddenly become so high-profile?
Lin Yiyi ate the bones and meat that the man had cut off, and agreed, "Indeed, the people at the headquarters don't know you. Is it because of this that you came to Huai County so late?"
"I also had a conversation with an old man."
Smelling gossip, Lin Yiyi raised her eyes to look at the man and asked, "Old man? Who is he?"
Zhao Sheng didn't intend to hide it from her. "I don't know either. He didn't tell me where he came from or reveal his name, but he seemed to have some background. He asked me a lot about my childhood."
"Have you told him? I want to hear it too. I also want to know what you did and what you played when you were a kid.
Do you have any childhood sweethearts?" Lin Yiyi's eyes widened with curiosity.
It's a rare opportunity to talk about this topic, and I don't know if he had any first female love when he was a child.
"When you talk about these things, your eyes start to roll around. What kind of dirty things are you imagining?"
Zhao Sheng didn't really want to talk about the past, so he simply said a few words to satisfy her curiosity, "When I was a kid, I just dug herbs in the early morning, went to school in the morning, and worked in the afternoon. I was a wild boy in the countryside running all over the mountains."
"Aren't there any little greengages?"
Lin Yiyi knew that he dug herbs to earn money to go to school, and that he was just a poor little guy.
"Do you think it's the same as you? Do you have a childhood sweetheart?" Zhao Sheng felt annoyed when this matter was mentioned, and he felt sour in his heart.
Not wanting him to get jealous, Lin Yiyi wanted to help him up, and started making up a story, "I don't have a childhood sweetheart, only you. When I was young, I was in poor health and rarely went out.
Just hold a cat or dog for me to look at, and I will be happy for many days."
Zhao Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, not really believing her lies. Without his childhood sweetheart, who would Xu Jianchang be?
With her attractive looks, how could there not be any silly boy trying to play with her?
Lin Yiyi couldn't stand his interrogating gaze, so she laughed and joked, "Why are you asking you these questions, old man? Are you looking for your relatives?"
It can't be that you just want to tease him because he looks so cute, right?
Both age and appearance are beyond expectations.
Thinking about her performance during this period, Zhao Sheng let her go for the time being. Hearing her irrelevant words, he was amused by her. "You must have read a lot of storybooks. Where do you get so many stories about looking for relatives?"
"Otherwise it doesn't make sense. Who would ask you these questions for no reason? And why not reveal your name?
Isn't it just to find out? I dare not say it before I'm sure, and it's not convenient to reveal personal information. "
Lin Yiyi has watched a lot of TV dramas like this, and they all follow the same routines.
“But you are quite different from the Zhao family. Apart from the common features of being tall, with thick eyebrows and a high nose, you really don’t look alike.
Judging similarity based on thick eyebrows and high nose is not objective, and there are many people who meet these two criteria. "
"You are the smartest man in the Zhao family. Smartness is hereditary."
Thinking about the Zhao family's IQ, Lin Yiyi felt that her analysis made sense.
Hearing her talk getting more and more outrageous, Zhao Sheng said in a serious tone, "Don't talk nonsense. It's not good to spread your unclear background.
Even if I recognize my relatives, at my age, what can I change if I recognize them? "
"Are the old man's conditions good? Materially speaking." If they really recognize each other as relatives, they will create poor parents and support each other in their old age.
Lin Yiyi felt a headache just thinking about it. Having one mother-in-law was already a problem, and what about another one?
His small money string, Zhao Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It should be not bad."
Maybe it's even better, otherwise how could Ding Liping be the one to make the connection.
Zhao Sheng didn't continue talking to the money-grubber. He put on a stern face and urged her to eat without saying too much.
Lin Yiyi pouted and endured his scolding in silence. After eating and drinking, she leaned back in the chair and watched the man pack up the lunch box.
Zhao Sheng packed up his backpack and took Lin Yiyi around the truck twice. After saying a few words, he prepared to drive back to Ze County.
But before they left, an uninvited guest broke the quiet atmosphere between the two of them.
"Comrade Lin, is this your husband?"
Qian Aosen had a bad look on his face and spoke rudely. When he learned from the motivational meeting that Lin Yiyi was married, the indescribable emotions in his heart disappeared.
Instead, he was filled with anger, and he didn't understand why. He waited for the meeting to be over with great difficulty, and when he came over, he saw the two of them behaving in a clingy manner.
Qian Aosen looked at the man in front of her who was dressed in homespun cloth. Her husband was no different.
"Comrade Qian, this is my wife."
Lin Yiyi openly revealed Zhao Sheng's identity, and felt the disdain and contempt in the eyes of the man in military uniform, and she immediately became angry.
She turned sideways and smiled gently at the man: "Please drive carefully later. It's getting late. See you tomorrow."
Zhao Sheng pursed his lips and nodded, his eyes indifferently and coldly sweeping over Comrade Qian in front of him. Their eyes met, and the exchange of glances was a silent contest between the men.
Catching the contempt in his eyes, Zhao Sheng sneered in his heart, just another annoying fly.
