Chapter 143 Is it sour?

Seeing his sad look, Cui Zijin couldn't help but touch him with his arm, then nodded towards the house, signaling him not to be scared and go into the house to assert his sovereignty.

After all, Tang Mingli and Jiang Xiurong, who had eyes, could see that the couple loved each other, and there was nothing wrong with claiming sovereignty under such circumstances.

Tang Mingli tightened his grip on the spatula, then loosened it, revealing a bitter and timid smile. He sighed softly and said quietly, "How dare I, a clean-handed person, mislead a beautiful woman?"

Xia Zhizhi shuddered at the sourness of his words.

Tang Mingli liked Jiang Xiurong very much, probably because of the fear caused by love. He felt that it was nothing since he was struggling on the sufficiency line. But when he thought that if Jiang Xiurong was with him, they would have to live this kind of life in the future, he hesitated.

He was not afraid of hardship, but in that era, even if he endured more hardship, he could not provide Jiang Xiurong with the same material conditions as she had now.

Tang Mingli added the cabbage, covered it with a lid and started to stew it. Then he squatted in front of the stove with his knees hugged, staring at the fire with empty eyes.

Before Tang Mingli could be empty for long, Cheng Rong came in, pushed him away with her butt, sniffed hard and said, "It smells so good, how long will it take, Tang Zhiqing? I'm hungry!"

She had an empty stomach after taking a shit and was hungry again!

Tang Mingli was pushed aside...

Knowing that the food would take a while to be ready, Cheng Rong heard the movement in the house. Her eyes lit up and she entered through the curtains: "Second brother, you're here, I..."

Cheng Rong's eyes swept over Jiang Xiurong and finally landed on her second brother, who was as gorgeous as a peacock spreading its tail. She swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Although Cheng Rong is not very smart in other aspects, she is very good at capturing the ambiguous feelings between men and women. She has a natural talent for watching gossips in this area.

After just a quick glance, I knew that my brother was interested in Jiang Xiurong, and the way he looked at her was different.

Seeing that her sister had come, Jiang Xiurong did not stay any longer. She stood up and said considerately, "You guys chat. I'll go out and see if there's anything I can help with."

As soon as Jiang Xiurong left, Cheng Rong turned to Cheng Zhao and bared her teeth, accusing him in a low voice: "What are you doing? How am I going to explain this to Zhizhi later!"

Cheng Zhao also whispered back to her: "This matter is not something I can control. Besides, don't you get along well with Jiang Zhiqing? If your second brother succeeds, you can still get along with each other for a long time in the future..."

"Where's Zhizhi?" Cheng Rong glared at him.

Cheng Zhao raised his eyebrows and began to speak ill of his teammates: "I'm telling you, my brother passed by here on a mission, and thought I hadn't seen you for several years, so I came to see you. You can talk to them about this later..."

Cheng Rong stopped being angry and clapped her hands, saying, "That's good. Big Brother is more reliable than you and his salary is higher than yours. Big Brother is my favorite person in the family!"

She has a better relationship with Xia Zhizhi and wants to match her with the best!

Cheng Rong crossed her arms and began to fantasize about the beautiful dream in which her eldest brother took Xia Zhizhi home and her second brother took Jiang Xiurong home.

Cheng Zhao was not angry at his sister's leaky quilt. He whispered to Cheng Rong, "Does Jiang Zhiqing have a date? I noticed that the male Zhiqing cooking outside looked at her in a strange way."

The magnetic fields between him and his rival are destined to be incompatible.

Cheng Rong thought of Tang Mingli, came to her senses, stopped dreaming, and poured cold water on her brother: "They are not a couple yet, but I think they have some intentions. You are probably in trouble."

Hearing her say this, Cheng Zhao lowered his eyes and touched his chin with his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

There were guests coming, so in addition to the pot of stewed fish, Xia Zhizhi asked Tang Mingli to stir-fry some bacon.

Fried pork for your rival, after eating it you will have more energy to climb your own wall.

Tang Mingli swung the spatula numbly, unaware of the suffering in this world.

His miserable expression was so sad.

It was as if everyone in the world owed him 5,000 yuan and Xia Zhizhi, who was standing by with her hands on her hips supervising him, owed him 28,000 yuan.

Xia Zhizhi must have no conscience at all. She didn't care about his life or death and kept urging him to hurry up. The customer must be hungry.

Mainly because she was hungry.

It's easy to feel hungry after going to the toilet with an empty stomach. There's nothing you can do about it.

Seeing that Tang Mingli's expression was not right, Xia Zhizhi was worried that he would spit secretly, so she stared at him the whole time.

Cheng Zhao chatted with Cheng Rong in the house for a while and asked about her daily life recently. The main mission of his trip was to repay a favor.

Most people had a hard time these days, especially the educated youth.

This is not to look down on the educated youth, but families with slightly better conditions would definitely think of arranging jobs for their children nearby and would not want their children to go to the countryside to suffer the hardship of working in the fields.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone like Cheng Rong may have a good family background but is simply too eager to move to the countryside.

Cheng Rong was suddenly kicked on the head by a donkey, so she ran to seek refuge with others, and who knows how much trouble she will cause them.

The Cheng family can raise a girl like Cheng Rong, so the family must be of good character.

Cheng's father and mother asked Cheng Zhao to come over and see what kind of gift would be appropriate.

If the girl is in financial difficulty, just give her some cash, which is more practical than anything else.

If you don't want to stay in the countryside, you can go back with Cheng Rong, and their family can arrange a job for you.

If the girl comes from a wealthy family and goes to the countryside just to experience life, then giving her money directly would be inappropriate. Instead, you can give her a more exquisite gift.

Cheng's parents later read Xia Zhizhi's letter and estimated that the girl's family conditions were not bad, but they were still thoughtful and prepared everything.

Cheng Zhao chatted with Cheng Rong for a while, asked a few questions, and then looked at the furnishings in the room and the cotton-padded jacket on his sister. He knew that the conditions for this educated youth were definitely very good, and he had an idea in his mind.

Looking at his sister's rounder face, Cheng Zhao couldn't help but sigh, it's really a blessing in disguise.

When his elder brother came, he complained to him and asked him to do some ideological work on her.

The little girl is young but very brave. She runs around everywhere. What if she meets a bad guy? What will her family do?

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhao stretched out his hand and pinched her face hard: "You, you——"

"What are you doing!" Cheng Rong glared and slapped his hand away.

Cheng Zhao crossed his arms and said gloatingly, "Brother will be here the day after tomorrow. You can think of how to explain it to him."

Cheng Rong suddenly became depressed and counted her fingers with a sad face.

Xia Zhizhi called out from outside: "Rongrong, clean up the table, we'll be having dinner soon."

Forget it, now that things have come to this, let’s eat first.

If I die, I'd rather die a full death.

Cheng Rong stood up swiftly, took the basket off the table, and put the table in place.
