Chapter 158: Old Cow Eating Young Grass [3000]

"So you're going to go and get him back?"

"Yes, we were the first to investigate this case, and we were also the first to catch Xie Lao Hu's nephew. Now he's on the run, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. Whoever catches him first will get the credit."

Zheng Aiguo clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Originally, I wanted to do it myself, but you saw this tigress staring at me very closely. Fortunately, Ping An came to help Lao Wei. With his skills and having served in the southwest, he is very familiar with the terrain of the border. As long as we are not wrong, Xie Laohu took the second route. If we stop him at the border and bring him back, we will definitely be able to capture him. Lao Wei will definitely make a contribution this time.

Wait!
It also prevents him from bringing up the past and accusing me of stealing his position as director.”

It turns out there is this inside story.

Lu Yang also knew some of the events of that year. Gong Ping'an's father, Director Gong, died in the line of duty. Originally, the person closest to his position should have been Deputy Director and Public Security Captain Lao Wei. However, due to some complicated reasons, the person who took over this position became the son-in-law of Director Gong, who also died in the line of duty, the bearded man in front of him.

Although the two sides have a close relationship.

They are in-laws who were engaged to each other as children, but how could they not care at all?
Lu Yang thought to himself: "It seems that Old Wei is still determined to make achievements despite his age, and Chief Zheng is also wholeheartedly supporting him in making achievements. The root cause of this is finally clear now."

Think of this.

Lu Yang said: "Then I wish them a successful start."

It’s a good thing that Lao Wei has returned after making a contribution!
It would be best if I could be promoted and transferred to the county. By then, I would have connections in the security department of my town and county, and I wouldn't have to worry about any gangsters daring to cause trouble for me.

This aspect was still quite chaotic in the 1980s and 1990s.

Send Zheng Aiguo away.

Lu Yang went back to his room and said to his wife Yin Mingyue, who had just gotten up and was dressing, "They've already left, wife, how about we go back to bed and catch up on some sleep?"

As he walked over, he naturally placed his hands on Yin Mingyue's shoulders.

How could Yin Mingyue agree to this?
She slapped away his claws and said shyly, "Just now...just now there was a lot of noise. Father and mother, they should have gotten up. Husband, stop making trouble."

Lu Yang withdrew his hand in pain and smiled: "Okay, then you can comb your hair slowly. I'm going to the factory. We'll have breakfast and lunch in the factory. I'm going to call a meeting with the workers in the factory to discuss the personnel arrangements after the market opens in a few days."

This matter is quite urgent.

Yin Mingyue nodded in understanding, waved her little fist, and encouraged Lu Yang: "Then come on, husband!"

There was only so much she could do.

"Ah."

Lu Yang also nodded: "Then you should read books at home and remember to eat breakfast later. I see that your spoken English has improved recently. If you practice for a few more months, you may be able to recover to the same level as a normal person."

After hearing this, Yin Mingyue smiled shyly, combing her hair while whispering, "Don't worry, husband, I will do my best."

Lu Yang laughed out loud and couldn't help but kiss her on the face.

Then he ran away quickly.

Yin Mingyue's face was flushed with annoyance. She pouted her lips in annoyance, stood up and glanced outside their new home. After making sure that her parents had gotten up, they were still talking in their room and hadn't noticed the noise in the next room, she let out a long sigh, patted her chest, and sat back in front of the dressing table.

Lu Yang came to the yard.

He reintroduced the 28-inch bicycle that had been retired and became the mount of the previous generation. He rode it out of his father-in-law's yard, holding the handlebars with one hand, onto Maoma Road, and headed towards his villa and the garment factory.

We met many villagers along the way.

They all greeted Lu Yang very enthusiastically and spoke very nicely.

Ever since he came back from Shencheng, made a fortune, and opened this garment factory, there are no bad people around him anymore, and the only people around him in the village are good people.

Lu Yang was also happy to enjoy such admiration.

It's always better to be praised than to be criticized, right?
He whistled happily.

Come to the factory.

He happened to run into his third cousin Lu Youyi, who had lived in the factory for a long time, who was making rice noodles for breakfast. Lu Yang, who smelled the fragrance of the rice noodles, was not polite and called out from a distance, "Third cousin, help me make some too."

Today is more than just breakfast.

Even for lunch, he had to rely on his third cousin.

Hearing that Lu Yang wanted to eat the rice noodles he cooked, the third cousin was so happy that he immediately added two more handfuls of rice noodles into the pot after the water boiled.

Next, add the washed onions and green vegetables.

These shallots and green vegetables are all grown by him. The land is behind the factory. It was originally a barren slope. After he moved to the factory, he reclaimed the barren slope and planted peppers, shallots, green vegetables and radishes. He plants whatever is available in season, so he can always eat the freshest vegetables.

Lu Yang watched him do it.

After the water boiled, probably within less than a minute, my third cousin started to scoop out rice noodles with chopsticks.

These rice noodles are cooked and dried, and then blanched in boiling water before being made.

So the second cooking time can't be too long. Soon, my third cousin had already filled three large bowls of rice noodles, poured soup on them, and finally covered the rice noodles with vegetables as toppings, and then the soul-chopped peppers, white rice noodles, green vegetables, and red chopped peppers. With three colors, a bowl of the most appetizing local rice noodles of this era is ready.

Lu Yang didn't hesitate and picked up a bowl to eat.

Getting up too early in the morning.

I also chatted with the couple Zheng Aiguo and Gong Lanlan for a long time.

He was already hungry.

He finished the full bowl of rice noodles in no time. He saw the red chopped chilies floating in the soup, which was quite tempting. He gulped down half a bowl of the red soup.

Putting down the bowl, Lu Yang wiped his mouth.

Only then did I realize that the bowl of rice noodles in front of my third cousin had hardly been touched. It was still the same as before. At most, he just took a sip.

That’s not right!

This is not like the third cousin who used to be like a starving ghost. At that time, the third cousin slurped noodles much faster than himself.

"You hungry?"

"Then I'll finish this bowl too."

Lu Yang was talking about the third bowl, not the bowl next to his third cousin that he had already taken a sip of.

In Lu Yang's opinion, this bowl of rice noodles must have been because the third cousin put too much noodles in the two large bowls, so the third large bowl was used to hold it. Therefore, whoever finished the first bowl of rice noodles first should get the bowl with less rice noodles than the other two bowls.

He wasn't polite either.

I was just 80% full and felt I could eat more, so I reached out to take it.

"You can't eat this bowl."

The third cousin suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Yang's wrist.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Yang asked curiously, "Don't you have a poor appetite? There's still so much left in your bowl, why can't I eat it?"

"Um, old... boss, this bowl is mine."

"Who?"

Lu Yang turned his head away.

Then he saw a plump girl with bangs standing behind him.

She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a bit of baby fat and childishness, and she was grabbing a piece of her clothes nervously.

"Master Guo, you didn't even have breakfast at home, so you came to work at the factory?"

Lu Yang said subconsciously.

This girl is also a material cutting master in the factory. She lives in the next village. She and Lu Youyi were apprentices who learned the tailoring skills from Sister Wei Shu.

That’s not right!

Why is the little girl so nervous?
Lu Yang suddenly reacted.

He turned his head to look at his third cousin who was sitting opposite him, who had just not allowed him to eat rice noodles and now looked very unnatural.

"sure!"

"How did you get together?"

"Let me calculate. My third cousin is 27 this year. No, 28. Is this girl 18 this year? It seems that she is, but she probably hasn't had her 18th birthday yet? Oh my god, she is ten years older. A full ten years older. Isn't this just an old cow eating young grass?"

"Wow, my third cousin, an old bachelor, has been poor for so many years, but he can finally find a treasure."

"So should I fulfill it, or should I fulfill it?"

Lu Yang pretended to be very serious, looked at this, then looked at that: "How long has it been?"

"No, it didn't take long."

The little sister of the Guo family lowered her head, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands, not daring to raise her head.

The third cousin stood up a little excitedly and said, "Cousin, don't make it difficult for her. I saw that she often came to work without eating breakfast, which was not good for her stomach, so I made an extra bowl for her every time. There is nothing between us, and it will not affect her work. Don't worry, cousin."

Why should I be assured?

Lu Yang glanced at him: You idiot, how can you talk like that? The girl must be very disappointed. Never mind, I'll help you.

"Cough cough."

"Well, cousin, your spirit of helping others is very good. You must keep it up. I have approved it. From now on, you will be responsible for Xiao Guo's breakfast. If she doesn't eat well and gets a stomach disease from hunger, I will hold you responsible."

"okay."

"Take your time to eat. Don't rush. Work doesn't start until 8:30. There's still plenty of time for us to be alone. Remember this. It's a good thing..."

After saying that, Lu Yang walked away happily with his hands behind his back.

The two unmarried young men and women were left there with red faces, staring at each other, and finally their eyes fell on the rice noodles in the bowl on the table at the same time.

"Eat noodles."

"Ah."

"Slow down, it's a bit chopped, I put too much chopped chili in it."

"Don't choke, you cook it very deliciously, I like it."

"Then I will cook for you every day from now on?"

"Hehe, okay."
