Chapter 490: Kick on the nose and hit the face

Lu Wenjiang found Li Kailang and Zhang Fen early in the morning.

"Do you two know which village has meat for sale?"

"What's wrong? What happened?" Seeing that Lu Wenjiang looked a little anxious, Zhang Fen asked with concern.

Lu Wenjiang explained: "Has Runyun's milk production been low these past few days? The baby is crying with hunger, and I'm getting a headache. Several villages I know don't sell meat, and I'm so worried."

Zhang Fen hurriedly said, "Brother Lu, don't worry. I'll go check it out while I'm on a mission. I know a few village chiefs and I'm very familiar with them. They should be able to sell it for our sake."

Li Kailang agreed, "Me too, I'll go ask. Oh, I know someone who has milk powder, so I'll go buy some later."

Lu Wenjiang thanked them and said, "Thank you for your help. I'm sorry for this."

"What's the big deal?" Zhang Fen waved his hand.

Li Kailang suggested: "By the way, some people are fishing in Shichahai. Let's buy some fish from them and make soup to increase milk production."

"This." Lu Wenjiang hesitated.

Although fish soup can help increase milk production, we are not full now, and eating fish will consume more fat. Luo Ruiyun will be starved, which will be troublesome.

Protein digestion requires fat support. Without fat support, the more you eat, the hungrier you will become, and eventually starve to death.

Otherwise, why would the fishermen look at the pile of seafood and remain indifferent?

"Okay." Lu Wenjiang gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He would take care of the child first. He was just hungry. He could make up for it by eating more food.

"I'll buy the fish right away, and I'll trouble you two with the meat." Lu Wenjiang said expectantly.

"Don't worry." The two said in unison, accepted the task and immediately left the steel mill.

After leaving Sijiu City, Li Kailang scratched his head, feeling a little headache.

"Chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep and pigs are easy to deal with, but there is no village to slaughter them right now. If you take them out all of a sudden, Senior Brother Lu may not dare to take them."

"We need to change to some meat. What should we change to? Oh, rabbit is fine. It's small and tough, and there's not much meat. It's just right for my sister-in-law to eat."

Before Li Kailang could feel happy, he looked at the livestock field that was screaming loudly with an embarrassed face.

"I don't seem to have any rabbits." After looking around, he found none.

Rabbits are creatures with extremely strong reproductive abilities. They have two uteruses and can give birth to more than a dozen kittens in a litter, which will survive only in one or two months.

Not long after the rabbit was born, it started its estrus period again. Li Kailang didn't dare to raise it at all, for fear that many rabbits would pop out at once.

By then, all the food in the entire planting space will be supplied to the rabbits, and the other livestock will starve to death.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I think there is one in some village. Let's go see if it's still there."

Thinking of this, Li Kailang drove directly there.

"What? 100 yuan a piece. You are such a dishonest boy. Selling it at such a high price, are you trying to take advantage of the situation? Are you really trying to cheat me out of my money?"

"Oh, Master Li, how dare I? I have been raising this rabbit carefully, but it is for my son's wedding. If you want it, I will..."

"Look, my family has nothing, and we are counting on this rabbit to find a wife. If we lose the rabbit, I can't give anything else, and my son will be a bachelor."

"Master Li, please understand my difficulties." An old man explained helplessly with shaking hands.

Seeing that the old man prepared it for his son, Li Kailang suddenly felt embarrassed and wanted to refuse it. However, after visiting several villages, he found that only this old man had it.

It would not be good to ask him to give up. If there were no rabbits, he would have planned to take out other meats, but now that there were rabbits, he could not ignore it.

With this rabbit, there is a reasonable explanation for the origin.

"Okay, 100 is 100. I'll buy the rabbit. I'll remember your kindness. When your son gets married, let me know and I'll come to support him."

"Master Li will be welcome to visit us then," the old man thanked.

Li Kailang is a driver, and his position is equivalent to that of the village chief, which is really a great honor.

100 yuan is several months' salary for others, but for Li Kailang, it is just a drop in the bucket.

He now has nearly 20 yuan in cash in his pocket, as well as 10 large yellow croakers, 19 small yellow croakers, 10 fifty-liang gold ingots, and 25 silver ingots.

When he calculated it, Li Kailang couldn't even figure out how much money it was.

Prices are so low now that even if you spend lavishly, you won't be able to spend much. The money you spend is less than what you earn.

There were thousands of things that Li Kailang wanted to buy but couldn't because he needed the endorsement of his company. As a result, his money kept piling up and he couldn't spend it at all.

The purpose of this money now is to wait for the "reform and opening up" in 18 years. We can use this money to buy a siheyuan. By then, a siheyuan can be bought for or yuan.

You can just buy a street.

Closer to home.

"Thanks. I'll take the rabbit. Remember to let me know when your son gets married."

"I'll have to trouble Master Li when the time comes."

"You're welcome."

After taking the rabbit, Li Kailang left immediately. "One rabbit can't reproduce, so let's just eat it."

After driving back to Sijiu City, Li Kailang stopped by Shichahai and bought a small fish weighing seven or eight taels from a fisherman.

The main reason is that the rabbits are not big, and the big fish we bought cannot keep up with the consumption.

When we arrived outside Lu Wenjiang's yard, there was a car parked there. It was Lu Wenjiang's truck.

"You're back so soon." Li Kailang immediately walked into the yard with the rabbit and fish in his hands and some milk powder, shouting as he walked:
"Sister-in-law, Senior Brother Lu."

"Hey, Xiao Li is here!" Lu Wenjiang responded quickly.

When he passed the front yard, he saw a group of women and children staring at what he had in his hands, whispering to each other.

Seeing this, Li Kailang hurriedly walked towards the Lu family in the middle courtyard.

Seeing this, Lu Wenjiang was instantly moved, "Xiao Li, I don't know what to say to you, you..."

"We are all brothers, there is nothing to say, just take it quickly."

"Oh my God, this is such a huge hassle for you!" Mother Lu was also very embarrassed.

They give away meat and milk powder. Which family can do this?

Since the New Year, the street office has been giving away milk to families with babies every month, but those two bottles of milk are actually not enough.

If a mother has no milk, it will only last for one or two days at most. It is not as good as milk powder.

Li Kailang didn't want to stay outside any longer, so he quickly handed over the rabbit and fish: "Auntie, please kill the rabbit quickly and make soup with the fish meat."

"Okay, I'll go now and lend a hand." Lu Wenjiang didn't bother to chat more with Li Kailang.

Li Kailang went straight into Lu's house and put down the milk powder.

"Kanglang is here." Luo Ruiyun came out of the bedroom holding the child.

"Sister-in-law." Li Kailang nodded and came to Lu Hanlin.

Little Hanlin Zhengyun was sleeping soundly while sucking his fingers. Li Kailang couldn't help but touch his chubby cheeks.

“It’s quite soft.”

When Luo Ruiyun saw the bucket of milk powder, she was so moved that she burst into tears.

Only when she ran out of milk did she realize how serious the matter was. Li Kailang's ability to get her milk powder at this time was like timely help.

For Luo Ruiyun, whose emotions prevailed at the moment, this was an extremely touching moment.

"Brother Lu, sister-in-law."

Suddenly, another sound was heard.

"Brother Zhang is here."

I saw Zhang Fen walking towards me happily, holding a piece of pork weighing about one or two pounds.

"Brother Zhang, how did you get the pork?" Li Kailang asked curiously. They were actually selling pork at this time of year.

"Hey, I happened to see the pigs in the meat processing factory flipped over, and I just happened to help out. They gave it to me, how about it? I'm lucky, right?"

"It's really good. Why don't I have such luck as you?" Li Kailang didn't expect that there was such a way to get pork, and a lot of it.

Everyone gets about one or two catties of pork every ten days, but Zhang Fen gets one or two catties.

"We are all family, why be polite?" Zhang Fen didn't care and handed the pork directly to Lu Wenjiang.

"Sister-in-law." Zhang Fen greeted her and looked at the little Hanlin in his arms, just like Li Kailang.

"Look at this child, he's so cute. I wonder when I'll be able to have one?"

"Why don't you discuss it with Xuewei?" Luo Ruiyun said with a smile.

"That won't work. She still wants to be a doctor. We can't have a baby now, otherwise it will delay her career as a doctor. Let's wait a few years." Zhang Fen explained.

As he spoke, Zhang Fen teasingly played with the young Hanlin's lips, waking him up immediately.

When little Hanlin opened his eyes and saw this embarrassing, ugly uncle, he immediately burst into tears.

"Why is he crying? He must be hungry. Give him some milk quickly." Zhang Fen would not admit that he was the one who made him cry.

Luo Ruiyun rolled his eyes at his awkward expression and said nothing more, "You've slept all morning, it's time to wake up."

After that, he immediately took little Hanlin away to the bedroom to feed him. However, Li Kailang shouted, "Sister-in-law, feed him the formula and see if it suits little Hanlin's appetite. If not, I'll take it away and change it."

Luo Ruiyun knew that Li Kailang was taking care of her, so she found an excuse for her.

After all, out of courtesy, the host usually won’t use the things the guests bring in person.

"Okay." Luo Ruiyun immediately prepared milk powder for little Hanlin.

Outside the house, all the neighbors in the yard gathered together and watched Lu's mother and Lu Wenjiang prepare the fish and rabbits, each of them looking envious.

Not only are my eyes greedy, but my stomach is also greedy. There is only a little bit of meat every month, which is not enough to fill the gaps between my teeth.

An old woman immediately spoke up: "Xiao Lu, can you give me some of your rabbit scraps? My grandson hasn't eaten meat for a long time. Please."

"This..." Lu Wenjiang hesitated a little. This rabbit was brought by Li Kailang.

"Brother Lu, the rabbit is a gift from me. You can deal with it yourself." Li Kailang said immediately.

"Okay, wait until I've dealt with it, and I'll give you everything I don't want." Since Lu Wenjiang was from the same courtyard, it was difficult for him to refuse.

"Oh, thank you very much, Xiao Lu, you are such a good person. The little guy will surely grow up safely and will definitely become a promising big man in the future."

The old woman started praising the young Hanlin, which immediately made Lu Wenjiang very satisfied. He cut some meat scraps with great satisfaction.

Seeing that Lu Wenjiang was so easy to talk to and Li Kailang said this, some people immediately started to have evil thoughts.

An old woman pulled her grandson in front of her and said, "Xiao Lu, look at my grandson. He is so hungry that only skin and bones are left. Can you give him some meat?"

"Xiao Lu, I don't want meat. Can you give me some milk powder? You know my daughter-in-law hasn't produced milk these days. I feel bad for her."

"But just one bowl is enough, no more."

"Xiao Lu, there is still my family. I don't want anything else. Can you give me a bowl of fish soup for my grandson? It would be even better if you can add some meat."

One after another, they spoke up, and their demands became more and more excessive, which made Lu Wenjiang's face suddenly darken, his brows furrowed, and he remained silent.

Li Kailang immediately spoke up to save the situation: "What are you yelling for! Get out of my way. You are getting ahead of me. I'm really getting excited. Who do you think you are?"

"Hey, young man, why are you talking so harshly?"

"I just say things that are harsh to you. So what? Come and hit me! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Damn it, it's good enough that I can give it to you, but you still think it's not enough. You have no self-awareness at all. If there is no meat, find a way to get it yourself. I'm giving you face."

"Young man, this is not the place for you to act wildly. We are talking to Lu Wenjiang, so get out of the way, you little brat."

Li Kailang retorted: "You are the one who should get out of here. I got the meat and milk powder, so I have the final say. I am not from your yard, so if I give you face, you should also give yourself face."

"One or two of you, you are already grown up, but you don't have the slightest shame. If I were you, I would have banged my head against the wall long ago to avoid embarrassing myself here!"

"Junior."

"What? What do you want to do? Fight with me. Come on, who's afraid of who?"

Li Kailang took off his shirt directly, revealing his muscular body. His thick arms made it clear at a glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Those staying in the yard now are all unemployed old women, children, and daughters-in-law. This group of people has no military power at all, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. He doesn't dare to hit us. If he hits us, he won't have a good time either. He will definitely go to jail."

This reminder immediately made those who had originally intended to retreat stand still, looking at Li Kailang fearlessly, betting that he would not dare to take action.

"Hey, do you really think I don't dare to fight? You underestimate me!"

"Open!" Li Kailang roared.

I saw that the muscles in the upper body seemed to expand, instantly filling up the clothes that originally fit well and almost bursting.

The muscles in his arms are even more terrifying, with each muscle surging like mountain ridges.

In an instant, Li Kailang's figure suddenly grew like a giant. He looked at them with red eyes, bringing a great shock.

It was the first time that Lu Wenjiang and others saw Li Kailang's terrifying side.

To be able to look like this, thanks to two expert-level physical techniques, Li Kailang was able to mobilize the muscles throughout his body and expand them to this size.

Taking advantage of the victory, Li Kailang picked up a brick and squeezed it hard.

"Bang!" The bricks shattered into dust like chalk.

Then Li Kailang walked slowly towards the crowd and said, "I don't know whether your heads are hard or my hands are hard."

"When you die, it will be too late to cry. Don't worry, I will let you die peacefully without any pain."

"Hehe." Li Kailang showed a ferocious smile.

"Ghost!"

"Oh my God!"

"what!"

In an instant, cries and screams were heard everywhere.

In an instant, the crowd scattered like birds and fish, and left, tumbling and crawling, leaving the central courtyard empty.

A group of people hid in their homes, closed their doors, and calmed their trembling hearts. "He is so scary, too scary. How can there be such a person?"

"What kind of person did Lu Wenjiang associate with? He's so scary."

"Hmph! You guys are fast." Li Kailang snorted coldly, calmed himself down, and the bulging muscles gradually subsided.

"Xiao Li, you are awesome! How did you do that? Teach me!" Zhang Fen said excitedly.

"They are just little tricks, just for show, they are not that powerful, they are not good enough to fight, you will end up getting beaten."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll take the beating if I want to, but this is so handsome. Teach me!"

"How do you teach this? I don't know. I just kept practicing and then I suddenly got it. When you practice to that point, maybe you can be like me."

"Do I still need to practice? Forget it." Upon hearing about practicing, Zhang Fen gave up decisively. He had been taught by Zhang Jinwu since he was a child and he was tired of it.

Li Kailang felt relieved, finally he got through it.

Lu Wenjiang came over with the little Hanlin who was drinking milk, pointed at Li Kailang and said, "Boy, watch out, you have to follow your uncle and learn well from now on, okay?"

"From now on, you must not only practice martial arts well, but also study hard. You must grasp both, understand? You must be the best in both civil and military studies. Do you hear me? Don't think about drinking milk all day long."

Seeing her husband being so unreasonable, Luo Ruiyun slapped him on the head and said, "The child is still so young, why are you saying these things? Give it to me now."

Having said that, he took the child away.

Li Kailang smiled and said, "Brother Lu, please stop joking. There is only one No. 1 scholar in history, even fewer than the emperor."

"Besides, this is a new era. How can there be a top scholar? How can a young Hanlin be like this?"

"That's true, hahaha~"

"Okay, it's getting late. We both have work to do back home, so we'll leave first."

Li Kailang took Zhang Fen away and no longer served as a light bulb for them.
