Chapter 148

When Cheng Rong ran over, Aunt Wang had just given her the money for the quilt and even took a few more coins as cash.

Xia Zhizhi pocketed the money on the towel blanket, but didn't take the bill. Then she reached out and pinched the goose's mouth, saying, "Forget the bill. I just want to eat stewed goose. Auntie, please give me this goose in exchange."

When Aunt Wang saw that it was a big rooster, she immediately agreed. There was little grass outside in winter, and geese are too greedy. Anyway, the little geese were hatched and growing well, and there was no use keeping the rooster, so it was just the right thing to give away.

Aunt Wang went to the kitchen again and brought out a large bowl of fried meatballs: "I fried them myself. Zhiqing Xia, take them back and try them."

"Then I won't be polite. It smells delicious. Auntie's cooking is really good!" Xia Zhizhi knew that this was a thank-you gift for pulling Lin Wenxi out of the ice hole. She accepted it generously and let Cheng Rong hold the bowl. After all, this was the reward for her good deeds.

Lin Wenxi looked at her back and suddenly remembered that this seemed to be the omega who punched him that day... This one seemed a little fierce.

On the way back, Xia Zhizhi held the goose's mouth with one hand and dragged it along, while with the other hand she grabbed meatballs from the bowl and ate them. The meatballs had just been out of the pot and were still hot.

He called out to Cheng Rong, "Eat it while it's hot. If it gets cold, it won't taste the same anymore!"

The meatballs have a golden skin, are soft and crispy, and are especially delicious. There are shredded radish meatballs, tofu meatballs, and pork meatballs. It’s like opening a blind box, and every time you eat one, you’ll be surprised.

We were almost at the educated youth site, and from a distance we saw Cheng Zhao and Tang Mingli leaving the yard and walking to the firewood pile outside.

Cheng Rong and Xia Zhizhi looked at each other. Xia Zhizhi grabbed the goose's neck tightly, while Cheng Rong held the bowl in both hands. The two of them followed in sync and trotted after it, then squatted down behind the straw as if they were familiar with the route.

After Cheng Zhao’s confession was rejected, he thought about life for a while and decided to talk to Tang Mingli again.

Before he went to Jiang Xiurong to express his feelings, he had talked to Tang Mingli.

He was attracted to Jiang Xiurong at first sight, but he had seen beautiful girls before. If someone had a mutual affection for him or her, he would not be so dirty as to force himself on her.

It was Tang Mingli who said that he and Jiang Xiurong were not in a relationship.

Since they were not in a relationship, Cheng Zhao said that he would try to pursue Jiang Xiurong.

Standing in front of the high-spirited Cheng Zhao, Tang Mingli felt inferior.

Cheng Zhao had a good family background and a bright future, and the self-confidence and assertiveness he developed were like a burning fire.

This kind of youthful vigor and vitality in fine clothes and on a vigorous horse is something Tang Mingli will never have in his life.

Tang Mingli said: "That is your freedom."

Cheng Zhao asked him, "If I succeed, will you bless me?"

Cheng Zhao has good looks and good character, comes from a good family, and has a bright future. Even from the perspective of a love rival, he can't find any fault with him. If Cheng Zhao really succeeds, Jiang Xiurong should be happy.

Tang Mingli was silent for a while, then answered, "Yes."

Seeing his attitude, Cheng Zhao thought that the relationship between them was not that deep. He was quite happy at the time, thinking that everything was settled.

Although no one knows what the story is between the two, after Cheng Zhao expressed his feelings, he could indeed see from Jiang Xiurong's eyes that she had to be with Tang Mingli.

In this case, Cheng Zhao felt very confused about Tang Mingli's attitude, but everyone has their own difficulties, and it is not his turn to blame. For his own selfish reasons, he can only give some suggestions.

Cheng Zhao looked at Tang Mingli with a calm gaze, without any accusation, contempt or disdain in his eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "Jiang Zhiqing is a very good girl. Unfortunately, she and I are not destined to be together. Otherwise, I would have overcome all difficulties, seized this opportunity, and cherished her."

"Tang Zhiqing, I shouldn't have said that. If you think it's wrong, just pretend you didn't hear it. In my opinion, as a gay man, you should be more proactive and brave in all aspects. It's not good to let female comrades take the lead. If there are any difficulties or inconveniences, you can also speak up. It's unfair to hesitate and retreat to those who are brave enough to move forward."

Cheng Zhao patted Tang Mingli's arm and said, "If you finally get what you want, I will bless you, too."

He was lucky. Cheng Zhao came here on leave and did not have much free time, so he was in a hurry to express his feelings to Jiang Xiurong. After all, if he did not express his feelings, he would have to go back. There was no time to drag on and cultivate feelings.

If he met Jiang Zhiqing in the army, with Tang Zhiqing's personality, he would definitely dig this corner as long as he had enough time!

Tang Mingli looked at Cheng Zhao. Cheng Zhao's lips only slightly raised, the amplitude was not obvious. Although his confession was rejected, he did not seem to be hit. There was a sense of pride in his eyes and eyebrows, which was the confidence brought by his good family background and bright future.

The two men were of similar build, yet Tang Mingli felt as if he was looking up at him.

This is normal. How can you be confident without money? If you want to buy a coat for your loved one, but feel your pocket and find that you don’t have enough money, then the other person can’t give it to you for free just because you are confident.

Xia Zhizhi said with regret: "It's a pity that Sister Xiurong is not here, otherwise, seeing your second brother like this, I would be moved and moved..."

Cheng Rong stuffed meatballs into her mouth while mumbling, "Second brother is not good enough, we don't care about him, don't worry, my eldest brother is better looking, you will definitely be satisfied when you see him!"

A bony hand rested on Cheng Rong's shoulder: "What are you satisfied with?"

Cheng Rong was so frightened that she trembled, and the meatballs in the bowl jumped up. She quickly protected the meatballs with her hands: "Big, big brother!?"

Then he quickly pointed in the direction of Cheng Zhao and made a "huh" gesture to his elder brother.

Cheng Yu put his hands behind his back and looked at Cheng Rong quietly.

As the readers expected, he met Han Youran as soon as he arrived at the educated youth point.

As mentioned before, Han Youran has a bright, generous and dignified appearance, and her appearance is a symbol of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

As a Shandong native, Cheng Yu perfectly inherited the fine aesthetic traditions of his ancestors.

Which Shandong man can resist a beautiful and charming girl?

No one, impossible, does not exist.

He is no exception.

So there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't show it.

After all, it is common to be tempted by beauty, but a gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart. But if you cannot control yourself and cause trouble to others, then you are no different from an animal.

Cheng Yu approached and asked calmly, "Hello, comrade. Are Cheng Rong and Xia Zhiqing here?"

"You are Cheng Rong's elder brother, right?"

Cheng Yu nodded.

Han Youran pointed and said, "I just saw them go to the back."

Cheng Yu walked over and saw Cheng Rong holding a basin and a little comrade holding a goosebill in their hands, squatting behind the reeds and peeking their heads out.

Xia Zhizhi is thin, and this cotton coat fits her well. She looks a little small when squatting next to Cheng Rong, so Cheng Yu thought she was a child.

He hadn't seen Cheng Rong for two years and almost didn't recognize her.

After getting closer, I was sure that the big ball on the ground was my own sister. I can only say that girls really change a lot when they grow up.
