Chapter 249 Going Out to Play

As soon as Tang Mingli put the rice dumpling in his mouth, he felt his scalp tingling.

This was the first time in his life that he had tasted something with this texture.

Normally he is not picky about food, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have his own tastes and preferences. If he was not full in the past, he would just swallow it anyway.

But now that the living standards have improved and people have enough to eat and drink every day, Xiao Yang's cooking skills have spoiled everyone's appetite.

He was not a meat lover, and when he suddenly ate this kind of thing, he felt like he had swallowed a mouthful of pork fat soup. This was really not his cup of tea.

Jiang Xiurong was still waiting beside him and asked him expectantly, "Is it delicious?"

Looking at Jiang Xiurong sharing delicious food and her bright eyes expecting his response, Tang Mingli didn't know for a moment whether he should tell the truth or hold back and not spoil Jiang Xiurong's fun.

Xia Zhizhi saw it and immediately came over and said, "The meat dumplings are really delicious. Sister Xiurong, you see Tang Zhiqing is so happy that he can't speak. He must be tasting it seriously. Feed him another bite!"

After hearing this, Jiang Xiurong happily stuffed him with another big piece, and then went to share it with others.

Tang Mingli: ...

Cui Zijin and Han Youran have a so-so feeling about salted brown rice. It tastes delicious, but they can't eat too much of it because they are too willing to add meat to it and will feel sick if they eat too much.

Lin Wenxi thought it was delicious. She was a big eater and there was no such thing as indigestion. As long as it was edible, she would eat anything.

After feeding everyone, Jiang Xiurong used scissors to cut a few dumplings of each flavor and put them in a basket. She said to Yang Yingxu, "Xiao Yang, take these to Wenxi's parents."

What about Yang Yingxu and Lin Wenxi's relationship? They have to show it during the holidays. Although Yang is like a little girl, he is a gay after all, so he still has to observe the proper etiquette.

They are also Yang Yingxu's family, so they have to think more about him.

During dinner, everyone opened the wine. The four female comrades drank low-proof, slightly sweet glutinous rice wine.

Cui Zijin and Tang Mingli were not big drinkers, but they could not resist Lin Wenxi's persuasion, and finally the three of them each had a jar of liquor.

The atmosphere was normal at the beginning, everyone was eating and drinking.

After Lin Wenxi had finished half of the wine, she began to show her talent. While drinking, she blew the wine. First, she said to Tang Mingli, "Tang Zhiqing, although I will be joining the army soon, in our brigade, if you have any problems, you can still use my name."

Then she took Jiang Xiurong's hand and said, "Sister, if you have any problem, tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you. I will protect you."

Han Youran didn't let go either: "Sister, when I join the army, my Yingxu will be in your care. You are a kind person, so you must take good care of him."

After giving instructions to Han Youran, she planned to put her arm around Cui Zijin's shoulders.

Yang Yingxu stopped her raised hand and said coldly, "Eat quickly, it will be dark soon."

Lin Wenxi sobered up immediately, stopped bragging and ate his meal honestly.

Yang Yingxu breathed a sigh of relief. Who knows? It's really embarrassing to be with a drunkard...

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Wenxi and Song Hu took a bus to Heihe, and Yang Yingxu took a leave to see her off.

When I came back, I saw Xia Zhizhi also packing her luggage.

"Comrade Xia, are you going out too?"

Xia Zhizhi nodded. Fang Yuan (a close friend at the post office) and her brother Fang Zheng (a newspaper editor) were both getting married, but her brother was going to marry Tan Xiaoying (a philatelic pen pal).

Fang Yuan and Tan Xiaoying have always been in contact with Xia Zhizhi. They often send her stamps and food, and she is grateful.

Anyway, she had seen all the excitement at the educated youth site, and there was nothing urgent to do at the moment, so she might as well go back and join in the fun, and then make an on-site inspection of the progress of the Southern Blindness Elimination Team, and take a look at the current situation of the Xia family.

After all, it has been almost a year since she went to the countryside, and her family and friends must miss her.

Right after sending his partner away, Xia Zhizhi was about to leave. Yang Yingxu was extremely reluctant to let her go, but there was nothing he could do as Xia Zhizhi would not change her schedule just because of what he thought.

They made a lot of rice dumplings and brought some for Lin Wenxi and Xia Zhizhi to eat on the road, so there were still quite a few left over.

After asking for everyone's opinions, Yang Yingxu took a few and gave them to his sister.

As for his younger brother, he just pretended he didn't exist.

Last time he found an opportunity to secretly go to the farm to take a look.

Yang Yingjie was fine. He was smart and knew there was nowhere to go, so he went back to the farm. The farm leader was also nice. He said he was lost, and he didn't make a fuss about it. He just told him to be careful in the future, because there were wolves in this place.

When Yang Yingjie saw Yang Yingxu again, his face was full of sarcasm: "Why, are you feeling unhappy because you failed to report me before?"

Yang Yingxu no longer had any hope for Yang Yingjie, and thought that this guy was beyond saving: "Do you know that I met a wolf in the mountains? If someone hadn't saved me, I would have almost never been able to come back."

Yang Yingjie looked unhappy: "Are you going to blame me for meeting a wolf? I didn't ask you to chase me. Besides, aren't you fine?"

Yang Yingxu looked at his blood brother calmly: "I don't blame you. After all, we are not familiar with each other. Who would worry about a person who has nothing to do with us?"

Yang Pingting roughly understood the cause and effect of their conversation. She still had some conscience and questioned Yang Yingjie: "Didn't you tell me that your elder brother didn't care about you at all?"

Yang Yingjie retorted: "I was not wrong, he didn't care about me in the first place!"

Yang Yingxu was too lazy to argue with him, so he turned around and went back.

Anyway, if the other person is a person, he will lend a hand and take care of him. If it is not a person, then it will be easier for him.

Only when you have expectations will you be disappointed and sad.

He never expected that he would get tangled up in all this.

The wedding date of Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng is scheduled for the end of July and the beginning of August, which is more than two months away and there is plenty of time.

Xia Zhizhi took out a map, planned a route, and decided to travel along the way.

As long as we have the conditions, we should enjoy life.

If there are no conditions, then work hard to create them.

Xia Zhizhi didn't behave like a human being. She pointed at the map and asked Ah Ju, "I'll just take a bus to Dalian, go shopping in Dalian, and then..."

She crossed her hand across the Bohai Sea and suggested excitedly: "Let's row a boat from here to Yantai!"

Of course Ah Ju had no problem with that. Not to mention rowing a boat, even if she wanted to swim over, Ah Ju would agree.

Xia Zhizhi first went to the blind-eliminating group's base to give instructions, mailed a number of letters, and then boarded the train with Ah Ju.

The journey was uneventful and we arrived in Dalian safely.

The Dalian Railway Station Square is very grand. Without exaggerating, it will still be impressive even after decades.

Dalian Railway Station Square

Xia Zhizhi decisively took photos as a souvenir.

She could imagine how shocked those kids would be when she displayed her photos.
