Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Yuan Jun was obviously puzzled by Li Hongxia's decision to refuse to work at the Woolen Mill No. 3. "Yuemin, are your classmates a little bit stupid? It would be great to work at the Woolen Mill No. 3. The salary is stable and high, which is much better than setting up a pancake stand."

Zheng Tong interrupted Yuan Jun immediately after hearing this, and said in a teasing tone, "Yuan Jun, I told you to read more books, but you refused to do it. You're the one who's stupid, okay?"

When Yuan Jun heard this, he immediately became anxious. "Zheng Tong, damn it, if you don't explain it to me, I will never forgive you."

Seeing this, Zheng Tong was not angry, but smiled. "Yuan Jun, do you know how many pancakes Sister Li has sold since we came here?"

Yuan Jun looked bewildered. "How would I know? I don't know."

Zheng Tong smiled proudly. "You don't know either, so I'll tell you. Not counting ours, Sister Li sold a total of 10 pancakes."

Yuan Jun was even more confused when he heard this. "Zheng Tong, damn it! Don't change the subject. What does selling a few pancakes have to do with you saying I'm stupid?"

"Brother, let me do the math for you and you'll understand. We've only been standing here for less than half an hour, right?" Yuan Jun nodded.

Zheng Tong continued, "It's been less than half an hour, and 10 pancakes have been sold. Imagine, at least 20 pancakes an hour, and 200 to 300 pancakes a day! Each pancake is 200 cents, even if 60 pancakes a day, that's 25 yuan. I estimate that I can make at least yuan a day. How much can I make in a month? Is it more than what the wool spinning factory makes? Are you still saying that they are stupid?"

There was a hint of complacency and pride in the wisdom of life in Zheng Tong's words.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jun's eyes widened as he looked in disbelief. "Fuck! This pancake stand is simply a money-printing machine! Why didn't I see this before?"

There was surprise and a bit of regret in Yuan Jun's tone, as if he had missed out on a hundred million.

Zheng Tong chuckled, his eyes flashing with cunning. "Hey...what do you think? Yuemin can give such advice to others without making money? Yuemin is our military advisor, when has he ever made a mistake?"

Zhong Yuemin listened at the side with a faint smile on his face, but he couldn't help being amused by Zheng Tong's "bill". "Zheng Tong, you're getting more and more talkative. You've almost revealed all my little thoughts."

"Yuemin, don't be so modest. The reason why this pancake stall is so popular is because you have a quick mind and many ideas." Zheng Tong responded with a smile, his words full of recognition of Zhong Yuemin's abilities.

Zhong Yuemin waved his hand and said modestly, "Zheng Tong, you are exaggerating! It's just hard-earned money, it's not as exaggerated as you say. Sister Li gets up early and goes to bed late, rain or shine, this persistence and hard work are the key."

Seeing this, Yuan Jun couldn't hold back his excitement. He slapped the table excitedly and shouted, "Okay, I've finally opened my eyes. After hearing what Zheng Tong said, I suddenly felt that the pancakes were no longer fragrant and tasty. I also want to try and earn some of this so-called 'hard-earned money'."

The three of them laughed. They all knew Yuan Jun was joking, but they were still amused by him. Zheng Tong then asked curiously, "Yuemin, how did you think of asking Sister Li to sell pancakes?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled and explained, "Selling pancakes is easy to get started and simple to learn. Besides, at this time, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can make money doing anything."

Zhong Yuemin's words resonated with the three people, and everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, this era is full of opportunities and challenges. As long as you have determination and perseverance, you can succeed in all fields.

After Zheng Tong and Yuan Jun returned to Sijiu City with the news that Zhong Yuemin was selling pancakes, word of mouth spread quickly in the city, causing quite a stir.

Just one day later, Li Hongxia's pancake cart became a beautiful sight on the street. Every morning, people would gather in front of her pancake cart early and line up in a long queue, waiting to taste this unique delicacy.

Li Hongxia stood in front of the pancake cart, her hands fluttering like butterflies, busy all the time. Her technique was skillful and precise, and every pancake was baked golden and crispy, with a fragrant aroma. Although her back was soaked with sweat, her face was always filled with a satisfied and happy smile.

I saw her pour a spoonful of batter evenly into the pan, then push it gently with a spatula, and the batter quickly spreads all over the bottom of the pan. Then, she skillfully beats an egg and uses a spatula to break up the egg yolk, so that the egg white and egg yolk are evenly distributed on the pancake. Then sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions and coriander, and the aroma instantly fills the pan.

Li Hongxia's hands were busy as if flowing water, and every movement revealed her skilled skills acquired over many years. The golden batter was quickly formed under her hands, sprinkled with chopped green onions and coriander, brushed with secret sauce, and finally folded into an attractive pancake. The whole process was done in one go, making people dazzled and salivating.

The customers waiting in line behind her watched Li Hongxia's work and exclaimed in admiration from time to time. "Look at her skills, they are amazing!"

"I can smell this fragrance from far away. I must buy a few more later!"

Li Hongxia felt very happy when she heard these compliments, and her hands moved faster.

Finally, it was the customer's turn to buy. Li Hongxia asked enthusiastically, "Comrade, would you like some sausage? Would you like some more chili?"

After getting the customer's answer, she quickly made the pancake according to the request and handed it to the customer. The customer took the steaming hot pancake, took a bite impatiently, and was immediately conquered by the wonderful taste. He gave a thumbs up and praised, "It's delicious!"

Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin thought to himself, "This won't work. We have to think of a way."

So, Zhong Yuemin resolutely rolled up his sleeves, strode to Li Hongxia's side and started to help.

Zhong Yuemin's joining has injected new vitality into this small pancake stand. He skillfully operates the tools, and the speed of making pancakes has increased significantly. His unique technique also makes the pancakes taste more delicious.

More importantly, his unique charm and affinity made the whole atmosphere more relaxed and pleasant.

"Oh, isn't this Zhong Yuemin? He actually took part in the battle himself? I didn't believe it at first!" A voice came with some surprise and ridicule.

Hearing this, the people around turned to look at Zhong Yuemin, their eyes full of curiosity and surprise.

However, Zhong Yuemin was not affected by this little episode. He smiled slightly and said to the person who spoke, "Haha... This is called self-reliance and having enough food and clothing. Even if I tell you this, you won't understand!" After that, he continued to be busy, making pancakes with skillful techniques.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "Yuemin, give me a pancake made with the craftsmanship passed down for eight generations."

Another person also followed suit. "Yuemin, give me two servings."

Someone else said with a smile, "Yuemin, I came here just for you."

Some even exaggeratedly said, "Yes, I rode my 28-meter heavy bike for 80 kilometers just to eat your pancake."

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter and the atmosphere became very lively.

"Go to hell! Where did you come from? And you rode 80 kilometers. Why didn't you say you rode 800 kilometers?"

After hearing this, everyone laughed so hard that they fell over, and the whole scene was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

While Zhong Yuemin was busy making pancakes, he scolded with a smile, "Hey...hey...you bastards just know how to make trouble!"

Zhong Yuemin, the once glorious "big shot", has now transformed into a "warm man" in the pancake world.

Zhong Yuemin nimbly shuttled among the crowd, sometimes taking over the shovel and operating it skillfully, helping to create delicious pancakes one by one;

Sometimes he would stop and greet every customer warmly, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries. His easygoing and friendly smile warmed people's hearts like the warm sunshine in spring, making people feel close to him. It seemed that even the air around him was infected by this warmth and laughter, becoming particularly pleasant.

At this moment, Zhong Yuemin is no longer the unattainable "celebrity", but an ordinary worker, an ordinary person who is full of love for life and willing to contribute.

Zhong Yuemin demonstrated to the world through practical actions the true value of life - it does not lie in status, but in whether one can feel the beauty of life with one's heart and pass this beauty on to those around him.

"Yuemin, have a cigarette to refresh yourself!"

This sentence quickly ignited the flame of enthusiasm in the crowd like a fuse. In an instant, one cigarette after another was handed to Zhong Yuemin like raindrops.

Some of these cigarettes come from new friends I just met, while others are old friends I have known for many years.

Zhong Yuemin took the cigarettes one by one with a smile on his face. After a while, his hands were filled with cigarettes of various brands and he could hardly hold any more.

Looking at the mountain of cigarettes in his hand, an interesting idea suddenly flashed through Zhong Yuemin's mind, and he remembered a joke he had heard before.

"Wow, this cigarette is pretty good. Pancakes and cigarettes are so powerful!"

Zhong Yuemin's voice was a little teasing, as if he was making fun of his own situation. This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples and triggering a burst of hearty laughter from the people around him.

On a summer night in Beijing, there was a barely perceptible chill in the air, as if the city was giving its people a gentle hug. Li Kuiyong walked through the night, dragging his heavy steps, and returned to his long-missed home, covered in dust.

Under the dim street lights, his figure was stretched out, like a lonely and tenacious picture. His steps were a little slow, but each step was full of firmness and determination.

The stubble on his chin was like a mark of time, witnessing the hardships he had gone through. His face was slightly sunken, a mark carved out by time and hard work.

However, despite his exhaustion, his eyes still shone with a desire to return home and tenderness.

When Li Kuiyong finally opened the door of his house, a familiar smell hit him in the face.

At this moment, all the fatigue seemed to disappear in an instant. His eyes first fell on the sleeping little person in his wife's arms - his little cotton-padded jacket.

The little body, tightly wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, was sleeping peacefully. Li Kuiyong gently held the child in his arms, feeling his warmth and softness.

The little cotton-padded jacket curled up quietly in Li Kuiyong's broad and thick chest, and her small body seemed to radiate endless warmth and tranquility.

At this moment, all the fatigue and pressure gradually turned into strands of gentle warmth. Li Kuiyong couldn't help but lower his head and carefully stroked his daughter's smooth cheek with his bearded face, trying to convey all his fatherly love to this lovely little life.

However, the little girl was obviously not convinced and was frightened by the sudden "close contact". Perhaps the slightly stinging stubble woke her from her sweet dream. Her mouth pursed and crystal tears rolled down like a flood. This scene made people laugh and feel pity at the same time.

When Duan Xuemei saw her daughter crying out of fear, she hurriedly hugged her in her arms and gently patted her back, trying to help her fall asleep again.

At the same time, she looked at Li Kuiyong with a slightly blaming look. "Look at you, you are so careless that you scared the child to tears! Go shave and take a bath, otherwise you will become a savage!" Although her tone was slightly reproachful, her eyes still revealed a deep smile and love.

After hearing this, Li Kuiyong just smiled foolishly. "Hey...hey...I'll go right away."

Duan Xuemei quietly watched her husband leave, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She understood that her mother-in-law was disappointed or dissatisfied because she gave birth to a girl, but these were not important. In this family, the most important thing was the position and attitude of her husband Li Kuiyong.

Just now, when Li Kuiyong hugged his daughter tightly, Duan Xuemei saw the tenderness and determination in his eyes. She knew that this was the answer she had been waiting for.

No matter how the outside world views their family, as long as Li Kuiyong is always by their side, giving them love and support, everything will become beautiful and warm.

The steam in the bathroom gradually dissipated, and Li Kuiyong walked out with a fresh look, his eyes flashing with long-lost passion and tenderness. Water drops dripped from his wet hair, slid across his strong chest and abdominal muscles, and finally disappeared under the bath towel around his waist.

Li Kuiyong gently picked up Xiaomian and brought her to his mother's room. After making sure that Xiaomian was safe and sound, he quickly and resolutely returned to his own room and quickly closed the door, as if to isolate himself from all the troubles in the world, leaving only his and Duan Xuemei's world.

At that moment, all the waiting and longing turned into the power of action. Li Kui hugged Duan Xuemei fiercely and held her tightly in his arms, as if to fill all the separation and emptiness during this period. His arms were as hard as steel, but full of tenderness and love.

Duan Xuemei's heartbeat accelerated instantly, her cheeks flushed, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes showed endless tenderness. She gently stroked Li Kuiyong's face, feeling his breath, and enjoying the happiness of this moment.

Then, Li Kuiyong's hands started to become dishonest and his clothes were stripped off piece by piece.

Although Duan Xuemei blamed Li Kuiyong for his recklessness and impatience, her heart was as sweet as honey. Her clear eyes flashed with the same desire and love, responding to Li Kuiyong's enthusiasm.

Li Kuiyong looked at Duan Xuemei affectionately, his eyes full of cherishment and care for her. He kissed her lips gently and explored her mouth tenderly, letting her feel his deep love.

The atmosphere between the two of them instantly became hot and intense, just like dry wood meeting a raging fire, ready to explode. They didn't need to say much, just a glance or a gesture from each other, they could read each other's emotions.

The night outside the window is deep and quiet, while inside the house is full of spring and vitality.
