Early the next morning, the Meng siblings were awakened by a tempting aroma.
Meng Yinyin didn't know that her brother shamelessly ordered breakfast before going to bed last night. When she smelled the smell, even though she wanted to continue sleeping, she sat up stubbornly, then quickly packed herself up and ran outside.
As a result, when she opened the door, she saw her brother sitting at the table with a bowl of noodles in his hand, eating them with a huff.
"Brother, why did you get up so early?" Meng Yinyin looked at him in surprise.
In her impression, although her brother performed well in the army and was able to endure hardships, that was only when he was working. Once he returned home, he would not get up until the sun was shining on his butt.
In her mother's words, the personalities of the brother and sister are exactly the same, but the brother knows how to control himself and what to do according to his status.
As for my sister, well, I can only describe her as consistent in appearance and character.
And now, her brother who had a long vacation did not sleep in, but got up so early
Just when Meng Yinyin was wondering whether her brother had changed his personality, she heard Lu Chen's questioning voice coming from the kitchen.
"Meng Zhiqing, can I have noodles for breakfast?"
Meng Yinyin turned her gaze away from her brother and immediately ran to the kitchen as she thought about breakfast.
"Okay, okay, what kind of noodles do you want to eat?"
As he spoke, he looked towards the stove. When he saw the fried eggs next to it, a smile immediately broke out of his watery eyes.
"Wow, there are eggs!"
Hearing her cheerful voice, Lu Chen's eyes were also filled with warmth.
"Yeah, eggs."
In order to prevent the noodles from getting mushy, Lu Chen waited until Meng Yinyin got up before putting them in the pot. Now that she came over and put the noodles in the pot, he had to wait for a while.
Seeing this, Meng Yinyin went to wash up first. By the time she finished washing up, the noodles should be ready.
But just as she was about to leave the kitchen, she heard Lu Chen say something else.
"Go to the small room and bring some food so you don't get hungry in the morning."
Meng Yinyin paused, frowned and looked confused, totally not understanding why Lu Chen suddenly said such a thing.
Lu Chen could only explain: "Your brother may take you out later."
"Huh? Where are you going?"
Just as Meng Yinyin asked, she heard an impatient voice behind her.
"Go to town, what's the matter? Don't you want to go? But you have to go even if you don't want to. It's not up to you!"
It was the voice of her brother Meng Xuan.
Meng Yinyin was not frightened by his tone, but rather curious.
"Brother, you want to take me to town? Are you going to buy me something?"
The joy and surprise in his tone were almost overflowing.
Meng Xuan snorted without commenting, neither admitting it nor denying it.
In Meng Yinyin's eyes, his behavior completely confirmed her guess, causing her to cheer immediately.
"Wow, that's great, I'll go back and change into a skirt now!"
After saying that, Meng Yinyin ran away.
She finally waited for her brother to come, and she would not let go of the opportunity to make a fortune!
However, Lu Chen felt a little worried when he saw Meng Yinyin's cheerful back.
After all, he should be clear about the reason why Meng Xuan took Meng Yinyin to the town. Going shopping was fake, and the real reason was to get information.
Although Lu Chen was not sure whether Meng Xuan would take Meng Yinyin for a good stroll after they went to the town, he could not bear to disappoint Meng Yinyin, so he could only say something to Meng Xuan.
"Comrade Meng, although the town is not big, the scenery is pretty good. If you have time, you can go for a walk. My business is not urgent."
Hearing this, Meng Xuan couldn't help but look at Lu Chen and found it funny.
Are you afraid that he is really only focused on completing the task and doesn't want to play with Meng Yinyin
I didn't expect that this person cares so much about Meng Yinyin.
But who does he think of himself? No matter how much he dislikes Meng Yinyin, he can't really be so unkind, tsk.
However, considering the bowl of noodles he had in the morning, Meng Xuan did not argue with Lu Chen. Instead, he just nodded casually and prepared to leave.
But before leaving, he suddenly thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and finally pretended to ask casually.
"Oh, do you have anything you want us to bring back? It's just on the way."
Of course Meng Xuan didn't want to take the initiative to admit that he felt embarrassed to eat two meals prepared by Lu Chen, and wanted to return the favor.
However, Lu Chen quickly shook his head, indicating that he did not lack anything.
Meng Xuan glanced at him but did not continue asking. Instead, he decided to go to the town to ask Meng Yinyin later.
They have been together for so long, it is impossible that the girl doesn't know anything about Lu Chen.
After he left, Meng Yinyin had already washed up and changed into a new skirt, then ate noodles in a hurry. It happened that it was time for Lu Chen to go to work, so the three of them locked the door and went out together, but in opposite directions.
Meng Yinyin and Meng Xuan walked towards the village entrance and saw several members going to work.
As several members walked, they couldn't help but cast their eyes on Meng Xuan who was next to Meng Yinyin, with curiosity on their faces.
Fortunately, Meng Xuan, like Meng Yinyin, had already gotten used to such stares because of their outstanding looks.
However, among those gazes, Meng Xuan keenly noticed two unfriendly looks.
He moved quickly, and his sharp eyes immediately caught the owners of the two gazes.
Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua were caught off guard and were stunned. Then they looked away guiltily and hurried to the gathering place.
But he couldn't help wondering in his heart, how come Meng Yinyin's brother reacted so quickly? Didn't he notice them just by glaring at him
This guy has such sharp eyes!
Meng Xuan had no idea what the two were thinking, but that didn't stop him from asking Meng Yinyin about their identities.
Seeing this, Meng Yinyin pouted with disgust.
"Those two people are Lu Chen's uncle and aunt, how bad!"
It turns out that this is Lu Dashan and his wife.
Meng Xuan looked at the couple's figures again meaningfully, and had a deeper understanding of their personalities.
The road to town is not far for Meng Xuan, but it is still a big challenge for Meng Yinyin.
And last time she went with Lu Chen, Lu Chen carried her on his back for most of the second half of the journey. But when she got to her brother's place, he just stood there with a cold face and remained unmoved, letting her walk by herself.
It’s okay if he doesn’t leave. Just wait for him here and let him go to the town alone to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks.
Meng Yinyin: “…”
Dear brother!
What else could she do in the end? She could only grit her teeth and rely on her strong willpower to walk to the town.
It was also at this time that Meng Yinyin realized how wise it was for Lu Chen to remind her to bring food with her when she went out in the morning.
At first she thought it was only an hour or two of Lu Chen's time. She had just eaten breakfast and went out, so how could she be hungry so quickly
And she didn’t feel very hungry the last time she went to town.
As a result, as she touched her empty stomach which had already been consumed on the road, she realized how wise Lu Chen's decision was!
Oh, luckily she brought food!
Meng Yinyin glanced at her brother with a sad and angry look, took out some dried meat to fill her stomach, and asked Meng Xuan only after she was a little satisfied.
"Brother, where do you want to go first?"
Meng Yinyin didn't know about her brother's secret mission. She just thought he was bored in the countryside and wanted to come to the town for a stroll.
Meng Xuan was very tall. He stood on the street and looked around. Finally, he said, "Let's go to the furniture factory's staff quarters."
ah
This strange place successfully made a big question mark appear over Meng Yinyin's head.
Furniture factory staff quarters
Where is that
Meng Xuan noticed Meng Yinyin's confused look out of the corner of his eye. He didn't say anything, but his disgust was evident in his words.
Then he turned around and asked a comrade passing by for directions, and soon found out the clear destination.
"Keep up."
After asking for the place, Meng Xuan asked Meng Yinyin to follow him, and then walked directly towards the furniture factory’s staff quarters.
Meng Yinyin finally came to her senses and chased after him, asking more questions.
"Brother, what are you doing there? Do you know anyone there?"
It's a pity that no matter how she asked, Meng Xuan didn't say a word. When she was asked urgently, he just said "You will know later".
It's useless to say anything.
Meng Yinyin curled her lips and didn't ask any further questions.
Soon, the two arrived at the gate of the furniture factory’s staff quarters.
It was neither early nor late, around ten o'clock, but there were quite a few people at the gate of the family compound. Many retired old ladies were sitting under a big tree in the yard, picking vegetables and chatting.
Meng Yinyin and Meng Xuan, two people with outstanding looks and figures, stood at the door and almost immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Although the two of them look unfamiliar, they both have good looks!
So soon a warm-hearted aunt came to greet the two of them.
"Hey, are you two here to visit relatives? Or are you here to meet friends?"
Meng Yinyin had no idea why her brother was here, so she could only turn her attention to Meng Xuan and let him deal with it.
Fortunately, Meng Xuan knew what was going on. He nodded politely and asked, "Aunts, I want to ask, Comrade Lu Xiujuan, does she live here?"
Lu Xiujuan? !
Everyone was stunned, but they quickly realized that this was the new daughter-in-law of the Wang family.
"She lives here, but you are..."
Before he finished asking, Meng Xuan spoke up: "She and I are from the same team. We need to find her if we have something to ask."
A group of aunties suddenly realized what was going on, and then kindly told him that Lu Xiujuan had gone out, apparently to the middle school to deliver food to her brother.
Hearing this, Meng Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the current situation was simply God's help. Then he thanked the aunts and quickly took Meng Yinyin away.
The group of aunts left behind were a step too late and didn't even have the chance to ask him if he and Meng Yinyin were dating!
It was not until they were some distance away from the family compound that Meng Yinyin could no longer hold back her doubts and spoke out.
"Brother, why are you here to see Lu Xiujuan? You are not..."
As she spoke, Meng Yinyin's expression suddenly became extremely strange. Her brother wanted to see a woman as soon as he arrived. Could it be that he had some intention towards Lu Xiujuan
As soon as Meng Xuan saw her strange look, he knew that Meng Yinyin must be thinking nonsense in her mind, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Put those messy thoughts in your head in check!"
"Really? But why did you go to her right away..."
Meng Yinyin looked at him guiltily and curiously.
Although she also felt that it was impossible for her brother to really like someone he had never even met, wasn't it true that all other speculations were even more unrealistic
Seeing that she seemed to be doubting his character if she didn't find out the real purpose, Meng Xuan could only tell her after he couldn't bear it anymore.
"I'm here to do serious business. This matter is related to Lu Chen!"
Meng Xuan actually had no intention of telling Meng Yinyin about this, because he knew her too well. This girl was simply unable to keep secrets, and she might accidentally reveal the secret after knowing his plan.
In this case, it would be better not to let her know.
Who would have thought that she would actually think of such an outrageous thing? He was so angry that he wanted to hit someone!
Is it related to Lu Chen? !
Meng Yinyin's eyes widened when she heard that. Did he want to help Lu Chen bully her back
Although she was surprised at when her brother became so kind, she had to admit that the moment she heard the news, Meng Yinyin's first reaction was happiness.
Although she seldom said it, she always felt that her brother was very powerful. If he took action, he would definitely be able to seek justice for Lu Chen!
"How can I help, brother?" Meng Yinyin couldn't help but look at him expectantly.
Meng Xuan wanted to ask what help this little girl could offer, and was about to send her away impatiently, but he heard a surprised voice of "Meng Zhiqing" behind him.
Meng Yinyin and Meng Xuan turned around in confusion and saw Wang Wu standing behind them.
Both the brother and sister showed a "who are you" expression at the same time, and it was obvious that neither of them knew Wang Wu.
Seeing this, Wang Wu's originally somewhat excited heart instantly cooled down, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
However, because of the way Meng Yinyin looked at strangers, he finally decided to give up.
"I am Wang Wen's younger brother. My brother married your team leader, Comrade Lu Xiujuan, not long ago..."
After Wang Wu adjusted his mood, he quickly explained his identity with a smile.
"Oh, it's you. Hello, hello."
After realizing who Wang Wu was, Meng Yinyin's expression became inexplicably awkward.
After all, she still remembered that Wang Wu's mother, Comrade Zhao Shufen, had tried to introduce her son to herself. Although she had rejected her outright, it was still a bit awkward to meet Wang Wu again.
At this moment, Wang Wu regretted that he had called out to Meng Yinyin just now.
Especially since there was such a handsome gay man beside her.
But didn’t his mother say that Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen were together? Why now…
Could it be that Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen are over
While Wang Wu was thinking, Meng Xuan on the side looked at him meaningfully, and then took the initiative to introduce him to Wang Wu.
"Hello, I'm Meng Yinyin's brother, Meng Xuan."
It turned out that this was her brother.
Wang Wu felt ashamed for his random guess just now, and his tone became unconsciously enthusiastic when facing Meng Xuan.
"Hello, hello."
Meng Xuan nodded and said nothing more.
The reason why he took the initiative to reveal his identity just now was simply because he saw the surprise in Wang Wu's eyes, as if he was saying "Meng Yinyin has changed again so quickly".
Although his girl was silly, Meng Xuan didn't like others deliberately thinking of her like that, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Uh, Comrade Wang Wu, what do you want to ask me?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming awkward, Meng Yinyin had no choice but to speak, thinking that if nothing was wrong, they could just go their separate ways.
Fortunately, Wang Wu quickly came to his senses. He was about to shake his head and say it was nothing, but he suddenly thought of something. After hesitating for a moment, he finally opened his mouth and asked Meng Yinyin.
"Meng Zhiqing, how is your relationship with Comrade Lu Chen? I have something..."
Meng Yinyin:
What's the meaning
When Meng Yinyin heard his hesitant tone, she was immediately surprised and couldn't help wondering if this man was confessing his love to her.
But she doesn't like him at all!
Thinking of this, Meng Yinyin quickly said shamelessly: "He and I have a very good relationship, a very good one, and we already live together!"
The implication is that she will not consider Wang Wu!
However, what she didn't expect was that Wang Wu didn't get angry when he heard it, nor did he show any expression of disappointment or pain. Instead, he seemed slightly relieved.
Meng Yinyin was dumbfounded. What was his reaction
But the next second, she heard Wang Wu say.
"In that case, I might as well tell you something directly. This matter is actually related to Lu Chen..."
