Chapter 524: The Lazy, Fair-skinned Youth and the Hardworking, Strong Laborer (47)
The lazy, fair-skinned educated youth and the hardworking, strong laborer (Forty-seven)
As the year is coming to an end, Mr. Mo is still keeping a close eye on Song Ning's studies.
However, it was Song Ning's first time to celebrate the New Year in Taipei, and he couldn't suppress his excitement.
Although Mr. Mo was annoyed when he saw that he was not focused on his studies, he could understand it because he was still young.
However, although he understood it, he still assigned Song Ning a lot of study tasks. It can be said that even on New Year's Eve, Song Ning had to find time to read a few books.
This can be said to be a mixture of pain and joy for Song Ning. After all, the teachings from Mr. Mo are so precious that one can tell how precious they are just by looking at the envious looks in his classmates' eyes.
But he really couldn't spare much time to stick with Lance. He really couldn't squeeze out any time at all.
Fortunately, with the start of production at Brilliant Factory 2, the orders at Brilliant Factory 1 have been scheduled until next year, and Lance has become a lot more free.
He even resumed his daily routine of picking up Song Ning from school and going shopping for groceries and cooking himself when he had time.
Before he went to pick up Song Ning that day, he went for a stroll at the nearby vegetable market.
Although the vegetable markets in Taipei City, the capital, are not as rich as those in the big markets, for Lans, who is particular about buying fresh vegetables every day, the vegetable market near their courtyard is already very good.
So he comes here often and is a regular customer of all the stall owners.
"Director Lan, are you here to buy vegetables again today? Come and have a look. I just killed a pig this morning. It's still warm. Doesn't your brother like to eat pig stomach? I specially saved a portion for you. Come, come, this is for you."
As soon as Lance stepped into the vegetable market, he was greeted in the face by Master Wang, who was selling pork.
But as for the pork stomach, Lance thought about it and felt that the recent weather would be a good choice for making a dish of pork stomach and chicken. Song Ning also loved it.
He paid for it and apologized, and also bought some pork ribs to make some braised pork ribs for Song Ning, which was also Song Ning's favorite dish.
"Hey, Director Lan, I'm giving this to you for free. You can take the money back."
Master Wang was firm in his attitude. He pushed the money back while explaining loudly.
"My third aunt is from your Brilliant Factory. She originally thought that the Red Star Fertilizer Factory was going to be gone, but she still had three children to raise. This is all thanks to you, Director Lan, for taking over the Red Star Fertilizer Factory. My father-in-law received the fertilizer from my third aunt a long time ago. This year's harvest is really much better. He said that the land will definitely be more fertile next year. This is all thanks to the good fertilizer you sell, Director Lan!"
He was so excited that his saliva flew all over the place. He secretly grabbed a pig's trotter and put it into the bag. "This little bit of food today is nothing. I'm just thanking you, Director Lan, on behalf of my third aunt and my father-in-law. You are such a good director and leader!"
Where had Lance ever seen such a passionate scene?
There are records of this in his database, but the method of dealing with it...
Lance quickly flipped through the database, and then watched the two sides tug back and forth like a fight. One side was exhausted and fell down first, and the other side held its head high like a rooster that had won the fight, stuffed everything in, and quickly left the scene. The whole process took as short as three minutes and as long as...
"……Thanks."
Lance chose to give up directly. He took advantage of the other party's laxity and threw the money into the air, then turned around and ran away with the money.
"Hey! Director Lan, why are you so polite? I told you it's a gift. Come back soon..."
When Master Wang saw the ball of money, he dropped his knife and ignored his stall, grabbed the ball of money and chased after him.
Lance: “?”
He ran faster and even had to bend down and lower his head slightly - his outstanding height was like a guiding beacon in the crowd.
After turning several corners, Lance finally managed to get rid of the man.
He then went on to buy a hen that looked very good. The other party also expressed his appreciation for Fei Di No. 1 very enthusiastically, so fortunately he took the money.
Lance breathed a silent sigh of relief.
Humans are indeed very complicated.
After returning to the courtyard, Lance first killed the chicken, cleaned the pig's stomach and removed the fat.
Song Ning used to love eating fatty food like everyone else these days, but since he came to Taipei City to study and had to squeeze out time for training, Song Ning gradually gave up eating fatty meat.
Although Song Ning never said it, Lance saw Song Ning subconsciously pinching the fat and then silently releasing it several times, and occasionally reaching out to touch the abdominal muscles on his lower abdomen. He roughly understood that the other party cared about his figure.
Lance was happy to hear this. Although fatty meat did taste better, consuming too much fat was indeed harmful, especially now that they were well-off and could consume more and more good things, so they needed to control their intake even more.
After washing and blanching them, they were simmered together with the pig's trotters that were secretly stuffed in. Then Lance slowly went back to Taipei City University to pick someone up.
Song Ning had just left school and was standing at the door waiting for him. He was wearing the beige trench coat and black turtleneck sweater that Lance had bought for him not long ago, and he seemed to be glowing in the crowd.
"Lance!"
Song Ning saw the familiar people and bicycles, waved, and ran over with his long legs.
"Aren't you cold running so fast?"
Lance quickly took off his scarf and tried to give it to him, but Song Ning refused and put it back on him.
"You're going to have to pull me back later. You're cold, but I'm wearing a turtleneck so I'm not afraid."
"Really not cold? I'm not afraid of the cold."
He came here wearing a scarf specially for Song Ning, who was warm now.
Lance reached out and touched Song Ning's face to confirm.
Song Ning smiled and let him touch him. A few classmates came out behind him and saw the deep brotherly love between the two.
Zhou Yan was extremely envious, "Song Ning, you and your brother have such a good relationship. Your brother is so great, and he comes to pick you up whenever he is free."
They are well-informed at Taipei University. They saw that people from a certain country had come to the school to cause trouble for Song Ning. Zhou Yan was not present at the time but was also very angry after hearing about it.
Although she was not very sensitive to politics, she had heard a saying that a weak country had no diplomacy.
But soon they all knew that Song Ning's brother Lance had really developed a better fertilizer than a certain country's Hero No. 1. Now, countless countries in the world are taking the initiative to establish friendly relations with them because of this.
Although a certain country has not yet paid any compensation or apologized, at least this is the first time in all these years that they have made a certain country suffer such a big loss.
And such a capable person like Lance actually comes to pick up his younger brother Song Ning to go home for dinner whenever he has time!
Zhou Yan cast a deeply envious look.
That’s great, unlike her, whose younger brother at home only asks her to help him with his homework every day until he starts to doubt his life.
Song Ning noticed her gaze, subconsciously glanced at Lance and then they smiled at each other.
