Chapter 72 I Really Underestimated the Male Lead
Xia Minglei raised his hand and brushed away Lu Xiaoyun's arm. As they walked, he lowered his voice and said, "I'll take you to a feast tonight. Do you want to go?"
"Have you arranged everything?" Lu Xiaoyun looked at Xia Minglei and asked.
Xia Minglei nodded.
Lu Xiaoyun swallowed excitedly and nodded happily, "Go, of course."
Although he would only have his meal in the evening, Lu Xiaoyun was already looking forward to it, wondering what kind of delicious food would be waiting for him in the evening.
Song Lan, Zhou Bai and Tian Shengnan had lunch at Wen Xi's house, and then went to the yard to continue processing the fish to get rid of the smell. Then they followed Tian Shengnan to a familiar villager's house to borrow a jar of pickles. Tian Shengnan said she wanted to pickle pickles, so the villager naturally lent it to her happily.
At night, Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun came to the gate of a courtyard in the town and knocked on the door. The person inside understood Xia Minglei's secret signal and hurried over to open the door.
"Comrade Zhang, Comrade Wu, you are here." A middle-aged man opened the gate and spoke in a low voice.
When Xia Minglei did things outside, he never used his real name. After all, if something went wrong, it would easily implicate his family, and he was a man who liked adventure, so he used a pseudonym outside.
Lu Xiaoyun followed Xia Minglei and naturally gave himself a pseudonym.
Xia Minglei asked with experience, "Are the ingredients fresh today?"
The middle-aged man nodded immediately. "Comrade Zhang, Comrade Wu, rest assured, you get what you pay for. We dare not use unfresh ingredients to entertain you two comrades. Today's ingredients are all freshly picked, and the meat is also freshly slaughtered. I guarantee that you two comrades will be satisfied. You two comrades must come often to take care of our business in the future!"
After the middle-aged man closed the gate, he blindfolded Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun, then pushed them forward, walking around for a long time before taking off the blindfold.
Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun found themselves in a dim basement.
Although the process is troublesome and tedious, as long as the result is good, it's fine.
Two hours later, Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun came out of the yard, both of them looked very satisfied. Lu Xiaoyun raised his hand and put his arm around Xia Minglei's shoulders, and said excitedly, "Minglei, I had a very satisfying meal tonight. Thank you. Since I went to the countryside, I haven't had such a satisfying meal. I wish I could eat like this every day."
Xia Minglei pursed his lips, also savoring the taste. The freshest ingredients had an excellent texture and flavor. He wanted to eat like this every day, but he had little income in the countryside and didn't have enough money to support such a luxurious life.
But it's nice to come here occasionally for a bite to eat.
"We'll come here once a week from now on," said Xia Minglei.
"Okay, okay!" Lu Xiaoyun agreed excitedly, and then the two of them returned to the Harvest Team under the cover of night.
If they were not afraid of being too conspicuous and being pestered by the girls in the village, they would all want to buy bicycles so that they wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to have a good meal. However, if all the trouble could have a good result, it would be worth it.
In the morning, Wen Xi got up early, cooked breakfast, ate breakfast first, and then set off for the mountain. She planned to take the fish to the black market to sell it before going to Yan Zheng's house tomorrow, and then go to Yan Zheng's house.
Now it's the end of the year and everyone needs supplies for the New Year. The fish should be able to be sold at a good price, and she can also earn some money to ensure that her life in the coming year will not be affected.
After all, the three sisters live together, so the living expenses they need are naturally more than others.
When he arrived at the foot of the waterfall, Wenxi took out the fish and shrimp nets and traps, collected the fish inside, and put the fish and shrimp nets and traps back into the water. He dug a basket of wild vegetables nearby, and then Wenxi went back.
Digging wild vegetables was a cover, catching fish was her real purpose.
When Wen Xi was going down the mountain carrying a basket of wild vegetables, he happened to meet Lin Yiwan and Xia Minglei, but Lin Jing and Lin Lan were also there. Lin Jing was extremely wary of Xia Minglei, fearing that Xia Minglei would get there first and chase Lin Yiwan away. Lin Lan naturally came with her brother.
Lin Yiwan and the others were going in a direction that everyone usually went to, which was not the same direction as Wen Xi's. So when Wen Xi met them, he only saw their backs and naturally did not say hello to them.
Wen Xi glanced at their backs and went straight down the mountain.
When Xia Minglei bent down to adjust his trouser legs, Lin Yiwan accidentally saw the light red spots on Xia Minglei's neck. Lin Yiwan was a little surprised. She had dated several boyfriends in modern times, so she naturally understood that the light red spots were the marks left after men and women had sex.
But why does Xia Minglei, a single young man with no partner, have this thing on his neck?
There was a hint of scrutiny in Lin Yiwan's eyes when she looked at Xia Minglei. It seemed that she knew too little about Xia Minglei. Xia Minglei should have an improper relationship with a female comrade at the educated youth point, or Xia Minglei actually had a partner but was hiding it from everyone and didn't want anyone to know.
Lin Yiwan sneered and then walked away from Xia Minglei. She really underestimated Xia Minglei and was not afraid that he would make a big fuss and embarrass him.
However, Lin Yiwan did not intend to let Xia Minglei know that she already knew all these things now. She planned to observe quietly to see what Xia Minglei's purpose was.
Is it just to add some color to his life in the countryside, and then find a woman of equal status who can support him to marry after returning home?
So what do you take her for?
As a fun thing?
Will you discard it like a worn-out shoe when you return to the city?
He had a nice idea, but she was Lin Yiwan, and no one could plot against her in the slightest.
"Lin Jing, Lin Lan, I feel a little uncomfortable. I want to go back first." Lin Yiwan waved to the brothers Lin Lan and Lin Jing, then turned around and walked back.
"Yiwan, what's wrong with you?" Xia Minglei hurriedly followed.
Not wanting Xia Minglei to notice anything, Lin Yiwan shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Maybe the wind got into my stomach. I feel a chill in my stomach and feel a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine after I go back and drink some hot water."
Xia Minglei looked at Lin Yiwan tenderly and said softly, "Yiwan, I'll take you home then."
Lin Yiwan looked at Xia Minglei's lips and felt disgusted when she thought that they were touched by someone else's skin last night.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't break the window paper, otherwise she would be disgusted if she found out about this after they were really dating.
Lin Yiwan is a modern person with a slightly open mind. She doesn't mind her partner having a past, but she doesn't like deception and betrayal.
Xia Minglei was having an affair with someone else but didn't tell her. This was a deception to her and a betrayal to another person.
This incident shows that Xia Minglei is not a gentleman enough and not open-minded enough. She likes the kind of person who can be open and honest.
