Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 181 Spicy Pepper and Dried Tofu

Luo Xinci left quickly and came back quickly.

The main reason was that Luo's mother was lucky. Her friend's company was recruiting office clerks, and she had wanted to ask her daughter to come back to take the exam.

As for Luo Chengli, since he suffered such a serious injury, he can go through the procedures for retirement due to illness.

Luo Chengxin was in H City. After receiving the call from his sister, he just said that he would come over as soon as possible.

Yuan Jiaojiao immediately smiled when she heard that.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu and the others thought that the two might have something else to talk about, so they made an excuse to go back to the ward and left first.

After Luo Xinci and Yuan Jiaojiao finished talking about their family matters, they talked about the matters at the brigade headquarters. The more they analyzed, the more they felt that it would be safest to leave.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. They do not have the confidence of Jiang Yu and Xue Li, but how can children from ordinary families have the courage to become enemies with a large group of people?

But I don’t know whether Jiang Yu and the other educated youth are willing to help.

Why not? Although the educated youth in the front yard had clashed with the small group, it was not a life-and-death feud.

The most important thing is that this incident was caused by the trouble between them and the people in the brigade. If the old educated youth were also targeted, it would be an unprovoked disaster.

Jiang Yu and Xue Li both felt that there was no need to implicate others, so they were willing to see if there was any way to solve this problem.

But how to deal with it specifically depends on the ideas of the old educated youth. If they can handle it themselves, that would be great too.

And the villagers in the brigade, at this critical moment, do they really have time to argue with these educated youth? Not necessarily, they have to deal with Lin Anna first, right?

After Jiang Yu and Xue Li finished discussing these things, they slowly returned to their room. It was almost time for dinner.

"Yu'er, I don't want to drink porridge anymore." Xue Li was much more relaxed when facing Jiang Yu than when facing Chen Jinghan, and he even dared to make a request.

Jiang Yu stopped and turned around to ask her, "What do you want to eat?"

"Eat noodles." Xue Li acted obediently, his big eyes blinking.

"Okay, then I'll ask the chef to cook it for you for a little longer, until it's soft enough for you to eat." Jiang Yu thought about going to the state-owned restaurant to see if there were any dishes that Xue Li could eat, so as to change her taste.

"Okay, okay!" Xue Li nodded immediately.

"Okay, then you wait, I'll go take a look." Jiang Yu gave instructions and went out quickly.

Borrowing an umbrella from the nurse, Jiang Yu avoided the puddles on the stairs and walked towards a nearby restaurant.

It was just time to get off work, and there were people outside. People were walking out with umbrellas, chatting and laughing in groups of three or four, and it was quite lively.

People were just starting to come into the state-owned restaurant. Jiang Yu glanced at the blackboard and saw that they had chicken soup today. She went up to the waiter and asked, "Excuse me, can you help me prepare this chicken soup? I'll cook a bowl of chicken noodle soup for the patient."

"Sure, just charge you for the noodles. Do you want them cooked now?" The waiter nodded.

Their store is located next to the hospital and there are quite a few people coming here to prepare meals, so of course they can.

"Wait a minute, I'll eat first, then I'll cook." Jiang Yu glanced at the menu on the blackboard again, "I want one serving of stir-fried pork with pickled cabbage, one serving of dried tofu with spicy peppers, and two cornmeal buns."

"Another bowl of chicken noodle soup, right?" the waiter confirmed with her.

"Yes." Jiang Yu nodded, then took out the bill and handed it over.

The waiter gave her the change and said, "Give me the rice bowl. Come over later and tell me when you want it cooked. I'll fill it up for you when it's done."

"Okay." Jiang Yu handed over the enamel pot with a lid, "Please cook the noodles a little softer."

"Okay." The waiter agreed and called inside, "Leave a bowl of chicken soup for the noodles later."

Jiang Yu found a nearby seat and waited for his meal.

There were many people eating at this time. Just after she sat down for a while, someone came to share the table.

They were a young couple, probably dating, and they had a sticky aura about them.

The two of them sat on either side of Jiang Yu, and started communicating as if no one was around.

The man was wearing blue work clothes and his fingertips were black, probably stained with motor oil or something. He must be a front-line worker.

The woman was dressed very simply, but her long braids were combed to be shiny and sleek, and her clothes had been ironed with a teacup, so they were very smooth. The only difference was that her shoulders were a little wet, but her merits outweighed her flaws, and she was still a person who made people feel happy.

"You still haven't been home recently? Your uncle and aunt are worried about you." The man looked at the woman opposite him with a worried look on his face.

The woman shook her head firmly, "No. If I go back, I have to hand over my salary, but didn't we agree to buy the collective housing in the factory? I can't hand over my salary."

"Then you will continue to live at Wang Juaner's place? She also has a dormitory there. Will others have no objection to having you as one more person?" The man still felt that it was inappropriate.

"But I don't have anywhere else to go." The woman sighed, "I told you to come and propose marriage sooner. After we get married, I won't have to worry about the salary issue."

"It's just that I'm short of money..." the man laughed it off.

Jiang Yu was just about to look at the man when the waiter called her number, so she had to stand up quickly to get her food.

When she came back, she saw that the woman's face looked unhappy. She didn't know what the man said again. The restaurant was too noisy with people talking, so she couldn't hear the conversation between the two clearly.

Jiang Yu put down the plate, picked up the steamed bun and prepared to eat, but she found that the man was staring at her plate of stir-fried pork with pickled cabbage.

She took a bite of the steamed bun and stared at the man silently until he became embarrassed.

The woman also noticed his greedy look, and shyly reached out and pushed his arm, "What did you mean when you said that your family wanted to find a wife for your brother first?"

Jiang Yu paused while eating meat. Oh, this is the reason why the woman was unhappy just now. That is indeed...

"Shh!" The man quickly asked her to shut up and glanced at Jiang Yu uncomfortably.

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and took another piece of fried dried tofu and stuffed it into his mouth. Mmm! So delicious! The salty and fragrant seasoning, with the special aroma of hot peppers, is really delicious~

Seeing that he kept looking at Jiang Yu, the woman was so angry that she couldn't vent her anger. She kept staring at the man opposite, but he acted as if he didn't notice anything at all. He glanced at Jiang Yu from time to time, looking completely at a loss for words.

Jiang Yu was also annoyed by the stares, so he swallowed the bun in his mouth, looked at the man unhappily, and asked him directly, "What are you looking at?"

"Ah?" The man was startled by her choking tone and leaned back quickly, "No, I didn't see anything!"

"Your partner is right in front of you. If you keep looking at him, don't blame me for beating you up!" Jiang Yu waved his fist, then crossed his legs unhappily and continued eating.

The man's face suddenly turned dark.
