Chapter 70: Kicked in the Door
"Look, what is this?" Li Meng quietly took out a bottle of beer from her backpack. Of course, she tore off the label to avoid causing trouble.
"Sister Meng, please stop keeping us in suspense. What on earth is this?" Wu Ruirui looked confused. She was considered knowledgeable, but she had never seen such a soda before?
"This is beer, or barley juice. If you drink too much, you'll get drunk just like drinking liquor. This is the best accompaniment to hot pot."
"I bought it from the black market through a friend, just for this hot pot. Here, one bottle each for us, no more," Li Meng lied, mainly because she wanted to drink it herself.
Zhou Hui took the beer bottle and looked at it again and again. The bottle was quite nice, with a bright green color.
"How do I open this?" Do I need to bite it with my teeth? Li Laidi took the beer bottle handed to him by Li Meng and lifted the lid without any reaction.
"Look at me, this is all," Li Meng took the chopsticks on the table, pressed the wine bottle cap against the table, and the bottle cap fell off with a bang.
The three people looked surprised, and then they all followed suit and opened their beer bottles!
"Come on, I'm happy today, let's have a toast together." Li Meng poured beer into a bowl and held it up to toast with them.
The three of them quickly followed, poured the beer, raised it up, and everyone toasted, creating a very joyful atmosphere.
"You know what, this really tastes like wheat, not bad at all," Zhou Hui said after taking another sip.
"It's really suitable to go with hotpot," Wu Ruirui said, and then he started to show off the meat. For a while, the small kitchen was filled with the sound of chopsticks and bowls colliding, and in between, there were also the sounds of Wu Ruirui and Zhou Hui fighting for the meat.
Yao Yuan was standing in the yard fetching water to wash up. When he heard the laughter coming from Li Meng's kitchenette, the gloom in his eyes deepened.
He received a letter from his family today. His parents asked him to take time off and go back to meet the girl they liked. It would be best if they could get engaged.
He knew that his parents favored his younger brother. This girl was the daughter of the director of his younger brother's factory. She was not only dark, but also fat, short and had pimples all over her face. She started to target him just because he had delivered a meal to his younger brother once when he was at home.
He didn't know what benefit he had given to his parents. If he hadn't volunteered to go to the countryside to escape the disaster, he might have been forced by his parents to marry this ugly woman.
They just wanted to use his happiness to exchange for a better future for his younger brother, to get him a better job or make him a small leader, and they didn't care at all whether he would have nightmares after marrying this ugly thing.
So he has to find his own happiness. He felt that Li Meng was no ordinary girl the first time he saw her. He also knew that she was close to Pei Yu, so he never thought of interfering with her. Now Pei Yu is not here, and they have not made it public that they are dating, so why can't he fight for it?
After thinking about it, he finally carried the water back to his room. He would find a chance to test Li Meng's attitude after he finished the canal digging work in the next few days. After all, there was no man in this educated youth compound who was better looking than him, so he must be able to do it.
I have to say that Yao Yuan really thought too much. Li Meng doesn't like men with thick eyebrows and big eyes, so he is destined to fail.
"I don't know what you are laughing at. You don't sleep, but neither do others? You eat meat and fish every day, and I don't know where the money comes from. Is it clean or not?" Liu Huan came out to fetch water and naturally heard the sounds from Li Meng and the others' small kitchen. He looked disgusted.
The fragrance filled the whole yard, making the villagers passing by curious about what the educated youths were eating in the yard. This fragrance is too overbearing.
No matter what Liu Huan said in the yard, no one in the small kitchen heard it.
"Mengmeng, this beef is so delicious," Wu Ruirui's little face flushed, his eyes sparkling as he stared at Li Meng with admiration.
"If it tastes good, eat more. There's orange soda in the basket at the back, go and drink it yourself." Li Meng saw Wu Ruirui finishing a bottle of beer. It's not uncommon to find people who get drunk after just one bottle of beer in modern times, let alone people of this generation.
"I'm not drunk, I just feel dizzy. I really want to talk and I'm really excited. Next time you go to the black market, take me with you. I'll buy some beer and treat you guys." Wu Ruirui stood up, picked up the bowl and drank the last bit of beer in it.
"My dear aunt, please keep your voice down. It will be terrible if someone hears it." Li Laidi was scared to death when she heard Wu Ruirui talking loudly about going to the black market. She quickly stepped forward and wanted to cover her mouth.
"Sister Lai Di, what are you doing? Aren't there just four of us? You won't tell on anyone, so what are you afraid of?" Wu Ruirui pushed away Li Lai Di's hand that was about to cover her mouth and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"I'm afraid that your voice is too loud and might be heard by someone with bad intentions," Li Laidi said, and then he walked to the window vigilantly, lifted a corner of the straw curtain, and looked outside secretly.
"Sister Lai Di is right. It's right to be vigilant. Next time we go there, I will take you to see the good things. Sister Hong said that there will be a lot of good things coming soon. Let's go together then." Li Meng reached out and patted Wu Ruirui's furry head.
"I want to go too. I also want to drink beer." Zhou Hui also stood up and shouted. I guess he is also in an excited state now.
"You're everywhere, why not take you with you?" Wu Ruirui and Zhou Hui started again. The two of them even walked around the table several times. Li Laidi and Li Meng looked at each other and laughed until tears were coming out.
At this time, a bang was heard. The door of the small kitchen was kicked. It was not kicked open because it was blocked by a wooden stick from the inside. The person who kicked the door was quite strong. He probably thought it was closed, so he kicked the door very hard. The door bounced back and his leg was stuttered. It must have been painful.
The four people in the room all had unhappy looks on their faces. Li Laidi quietly walked to the window and took a peek, then used his mouth to tell the three people that it was Zhang Qiang who kicked the door. Li Meng's face turned even darker. He picked up a kitchen knife and stood behind the door and said to Zhou Hui.
"Zhou Hui, open the door for me. I want to see who dares to disturb me while I'm having dinner. If I don't chop off one of his arms tonight, I'm not named Li."
Zhou Hui deftly pulled the wooden stick out from behind the door. In fact, the four of them had almost finished eating, but they stayed a little longer because the atmosphere was so good. They didn't expect that they would be provoked in their own kitchen without provoking anyone. The uncle could tolerate this, but the aunt couldn't!
As soon as the door opened, Li Meng saw Zhang Qiang sitting on the ground rubbing his thigh. He swung the kitchen knife and chopped at Zhang Qiang's arm.
Zhang Qiang was sitting on the ground with legs so painful that he couldn't stand up. But when he saw Li Meng's ferocious look, he no longer cared about the pain in his legs. If he didn't run away, he would be dead.
