Chapter 92 A tacit understanding
The girl in front of me is very beautiful and tall, with a pair of big, twinkling eyes. She is dressed very youthfully and beautifully. At first glance, she is a girl from a wealthy family. There is also a tall and handsome boy next to her.
This handsome couple is a perfect match.
Logically speaking, a farmer like himself who digs in the soil all day would not have the chance to meet such wealthy people, but Zhang Yunfeng always felt that the girl looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a while.
He said timidly: "You are..."
The girl smiled and said, "My name is Li Yufei. I'm a friend of your brother Zhang Yunqi and I also study at the No. 1 Middle School. Brother Zhang Yunfeng, have you forgotten? We met before at the Longjingyuan Canning Factory."
Zhang Yunfeng thought for a long time but couldn't remember having seen this girl named Li Yufei before. But when she mentioned Longjingyuan, he guessed that she must be the child of a leader of the Longjingyuan canning factory. Moreover, she was a friend of his younger brother Yunqi, which was perfect. She could show him the way.
Zhang Yunfeng said politely, "Hello, hello. I came here today to look for my brother, but I don't know which building his class 168 is in. Could you please show me the way?"
Li Yufei smiled sweetly: "How about this, Brother Zhang Yunfeng, I'll take you to his classroom."
Zhang Yunfeng glanced at the tall and handsome boy who had been silent the whole time, and waved his hand quickly: "No, no, why would I bother you so much, just show me the way."
"It's nothing, just a few steps."
Li Yufei was very persistent. She turned to the boy next to her and said, "Gao Ming, why don't you go back to the classroom first? Can we go buy the doll later?"
Gao Ming smiled and nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
After Li Yufei took the country bumpkin away, the smile on his face gradually turned gloomy.

It was after-school time, and Zhang Yunqi was studying on his own in class.
He has been very busy recently and has taken many leave, falling behind in some studies. So when he is in class, he is cramming like crazy to finish his homework in various subjects. But his current deskmate is the silly little Wang Xiaokai, while Lin Yueying, Yu Xiaorui and a group of girls are gathered next to Wang Xiaokai's desk, chattering about some poetry.
The 1980s to early 1990s was the most glorious period in Chinese poetry. Poets such as Gu Cheng, Wang Guozhen and Shu Ting were popular all over China, and Haizi, who had just committed suicide a few years ago, was an idol in the eyes of students at that time. His ever-changing language and form could intoxicate sensitive people, and countless young people immersed themselves in his poems all day long, daydreaming about keywords such as life and death, despair, and ideals.
Wang Xiaokai had a copy of "Selected Contemporary Avant-garde Poems" published by Beijing Normal University, which included Haizi's most popular poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom". He made friends with several girls in the class who liked poetry through poetry, and they had a lively chat, but Zhang Yunqi was a little annoyed by the noise.
Damn it, he found that all men are the same. When they are young and stupid, they like to pretend to be poets and play the role of a teenager in front of girls. When they become more knowledgeable about the world, they treat the brothel as a bridal chamber and the madam as their mother-in-law. When they see a beautiful girl, they just want to make a hole and have sex with her.
"Zhang Yunqi, someone is looking for you!"
Zhang Yunqi was being disturbed by the noise and couldn't concentrate on his book when he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Li Yufei and his older brother Zhang Yunfeng outside the door.
Stunned for a moment, he asked for a day off from the class monitor Lin Yueying, got up and went out. When he asked, he found out that his elder brother didn't know where his classroom was, and Li Yufei brought him here.
Zhang Yunqi thanked Li Yufei and invited her to have lunch together.
Li Yufei thought for a moment, tilted her head and said with a smile: "Let's do it another day. I have something to do at noon."
Zhang Yunqi nodded and said yes.
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Li Yufei waved her hand and left.
Zhang Yunqi carried his elder brother Zhang Yunfeng's bag, and the two went downstairs and left the school together. On the way through the campus, Zhang Yunfeng asked curiously: "What is your relationship with this girl named Li Yufei?" Zhang Yunqi smiled and said: "Just ordinary friends."
Zhang Yunfeng didn't quite believe it.
He was honest but not stupid. From many small details, he could see that the girl named Li Yufei was a little too good to his brother, which was beyond the scope of ordinary friends. However, from her dress, speech and behavior, he could tell that the girl's family conditions should be very good. Yunqi was young now, and it was the time for him to learn knowledge and make progress.
If he had no intention of that kind with this girl, that would be the best. If he did, he didn't want to see his brother ruin his future for these meaningless things. But he couldn't seem to say these thoughts out loud.
The two brothers arrived at the school gate, hailed a car, and in less than three minutes they drove to their home community opposite the Municipal Education Bureau.
After arriving home, Zhang Yunfeng looked around the house for a long time before asking Zhang Yunqi, "How much did this house cost?"
Zhang Yunqi poured him a cup of hot water: "6, all the money I made from selling handheld games."
Zhang Yunfeng sighed, not knowing whether he was relieved or had some other indescribable feeling. He said, "Yunqi, do you want me to do the handheld game business with you like your sister?"
Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "No, the handheld game console business won't last long. It will only last for a while. I've thought of another project that's more long-term and stable and suitable for you. But you haven't had lunch yet, right? Let's talk about this after lunch. I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables first."
Zhang Yunfeng nodded and agreed.
Zhang Yunqi took the keys and went out to buy groceries, while Zhang Yunfeng stayed at home alone to rest.
Although he had been sitting in the car for a whole morning, he did not feel sleepy at all. He walked around the huge house and looked around, feeling inexplicably amazed. He had never thought that one day he would be able to live in such a nice and big house in the city. This younger brother must be really capable!
In less than ten minutes, Zhang Yunqi came back.
Zhang Yunfeng saw him holding a fresh silver carp and a lot of seasonings, so he asked, "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "You'll know in a moment."
He turned around and went to the kitchen and started to work. After an hour or so, he brought a large bowl of noodles and placed it on the dining table. A strong smell of fish and spicy flavor immediately rushed into Zhang Yunfeng's nose.
He looked up and saw that the noodles were dry-cut noodles. The soup was probably made with fish, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and tea oil. It had a strong aroma of tea oil, and there was a layer of deep red chili oil on it, sprinkled with some coriander and fried peanuts, and a few pieces of tender fish belly meat.
Zhang Yunfeng had a great appetite and started eating with chopsticks.
The weather was still very cold in late February, but he was sweating profusely while eating. The rich fish flavor and delicious spicy taste mixed with the chewy dry-cut noodles went into his mouth. The taste smacked on the tip of his tongue, so comfortable and refreshing!
In less than five minutes, the big bowl of fish noodles was finished.
Zhang Yunqi tore off a napkin and handed it to his sweaty brother, smiling, "Is it delicious?"
Zhang Yunfeng wiped his sweat and said, "With your skill in making fish noodles, you can open a noodle shop without studying. Your business will definitely be booming!"
Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "Then we two brothers really have the same mind. I am planning to open a fish meal shop, but you will open it."
Zhang Yunfeng was stunned: "I drive?"
