Siheyuan: Sending my younger brother to the countryside to raise pigs

noon.

Yan Jiecheng pulled a cart of flour back to the factory, handed it over to the canteen staff, went to the canteen to get a meal, found a quiet and shady place, and quietly enjoyed his lunch time.

There is an ant hole in front of me, and several black ants are busy moving around.

Yan Jieben, with the mentality of sharing happiness with others rather than enjoying it alone, picked off a small piece of steamed bun and placed it next to the ant hole.

Faced with this godsend, several nearby ants came forward to smell it, and their antennae on top of their heads trembled.

Soon the surrounding ants received the signal and rushed over, dragging food that was several sizes larger than themselves towards the cave entrance.

Maybe life is too boring, and watching ants moving can make people feel happy.

Yan Jiecheng was watching with great interest when suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Yan Jiecheng was startled and turned around to find that it was Liu Lan. Thinking of what happened a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

These days, he also heard from his colleagues in the cafeteria that Liu Lan often came to see him.

He knew what was going on, but he was so busy those days that he couldn't find time to reply to her.

"What are you looking at?"

Liu Lan leaned over and looked in the direction Yan Jiecheng was looking, and saw a group of ants struggling to drag the steamed buns, which she couldn't help but find funny.

"You are really interesting. You are so grown up, but you can be so fascinated by watching ants moving. They are also lucky to meet a kind person like you who can give them a bite of food."

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "It's too boring. These little things are quite interesting. Why are you here?"

Liu Lan rolled her eyes at Yan Jiecheng and said unhappily: "You are asking even though you already know the answer. Tell me, have you been avoiding me on purpose these days? Are you still a man? If you agree, then agree. If you don't agree, then don't agree. What else can I do to you? Is it that serious?"

Yan Jiecheng cried out that he was wronged and was even more impressed by the woman's boldness and straightforwardness.

Aren't women of this era traditional? Could this be an exception?

"Misunderstanding, I'm not hiding from you. I've been so busy these past few days that I don't have time to think about you. I don't even have time to come back for lunch, and I only come back after get off work at the factory. If you had asked carefully, you wouldn't have said something like this."

Hearing Yan Jiecheng say this, Liu Lan felt a little ashamed, "Ah, are you really that busy? I usually see you as quite relaxed."

"You also said that was during normal times. I went to a brother factory to help out for a few days recently. I was running back and forth every day. Do you think I was busy?"

Knowing that she had misunderstood Yan Jiecheng, Liu Lan felt a little embarrassed, "That means he is very busy. But it also shows that he is very capable."

"I like to hear that. Tell me, what do you want from me? Is it about what happened the other day?"

Liu Lan did not deny it, nor did she answer immediately. Instead, she thought of what happened in the morning and said, "I have some good news. Do you want to hear it?"

"What good news? Is it about me?"

Liu Lan nodded, "Yeah."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Liu Lan, "Why don't I feel like this is good news? Your expression is clearly mocking me."

Is it so obvious?

Liu Lan quickly gathered her lips and said, "Hey, you saw it wrong."

"Go ahead. Let me hear what good news you can bring me."

He didn't live close to Liu Lan and they were not very familiar with each other, so he didn't think Liu Lan could bring him any good news.

"I went to the hospital this morning, and guess who I ran into?"

Since the good news is related to me, it must be someone I know.

Could it be that Yan Jiefang is dead?

That's really good news, but it's a pity that it shouldn't be possible.

"I don't know. Is it related to me?"

"It's said to be your good news, how could it be related to someone else? I ran into your ex-wife."

Yu Li?

What did Yu Li do in the hospital?

Could it be that someone in her family is in the hospital?

This should not be considered good news, as the two had become strangers the moment they divorced.

Since it happened to a passerby, it can't be said to be good or bad.

"She's pregnant. Is that a surprise?"

Yan Jiecheng put down his chopsticks and looked at Liu Lan with a strange expression.

He didn't feel surprised, but he did feel disgusted.

He felt that Liu Lan was deliberately trying to disgust him in order to get revenge on him for not responding to her before.

"Are you taking revenge on me for not responding to you in time?"

She really didn't think so, but after his reminder, it did seem a bit funny.

Liu Lan curled her lips, "You are wrongly accusing me again, aren't you? I wanted to tell you the first time I got the news, but you didn't appreciate it."

"Thank you for your kindness. Since we are divorced, we are strangers. Please avoid me if you have such good news next time."

stranger?

Logically speaking, after living together for so many years, the two should still have feelings for each other even if they are divorced, but Yan Jiecheng directly called the other party a stranger.

She felt that her guess was right. Yu Li must have done something wrong to Yan Jiecheng, which made him so angry.

The idea excited her a little.

"Well, don't be sad. As the old saying goes, the old must go before the new comes. She is not worthy of you. With your current conditions, you can still find a 20-year-old girl. What's more, I am not the one. As long as you need me, I will be there at your call, and it won't delay your marriage. How great is that?"

As she spoke, Liu Lan put her hand on Yan Jiecheng's shoulder.

Yan Jiecheng sighed. This woman was so enthusiastic that she put her self-esteem in front of him.

Having said that, he suddenly felt disgusted with the idea of ​​introducing her to Li Deyu.

Of course, he also knew that Liu Lan approached him not for the so-called love.

His career has just started, and he will not ruin his future for carnal desires.

"Come, sit down, and let's have a good chat."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng suddenly become serious and did not directly answer yes or no, Liu Lan could not guess what he was thinking and sat down next to him.

"Say it, I'll listen."

Yan Jiecheng pondered for a moment and asked, "We have only met a few times. You want to be with me because you want to have a better life and solve your physical and psychological needs, right?"
