Chapter 80 - 078 Wants to join the army
Author’s Note: Apologies, my stomach was upset and I didn’t sleep well last night. I’ve just gotten up. There’s another Chapter coming soon.
Dinner consisted of a pot with sheep meat soup base, a large bowl of greens, seven or eight peeled and chopped loofahs, a bowl of soaked vermicelli noodles, more than four jin of thinly sliced sheep meat, and a homemade sausage by Li Xianglu, sliced up. Nowadays, there really isn’t much in the way of good dishes, and it’s not wise to take things out of the Storage Ring.
The broth was already boiling, and Qin Zhen was so anxious he had peeked out the door four or five times with no one showing up.
Li Xianglu said with some regret, "Let’s eat, I’m afraid he’s not coming."
Qin Zhen, seeing Li Xianglu’s disappointed look, pushed open the door and left, and soon enough, dragged someone back with him.
The person was indeed Li Jianqing, who had been squatting at Lower Ridge for a long while. Seeing his honest smile, everyone burst into laughter.
Li Xianglu scolded, "Didn’t I tell you to come?"
Li Jianqing scratched his head and sheepishly said, "I was thinking of waiting a bit longer before coming in, but then Brother Qin caught me."
Mr. Li sighed and said, "You child, hurry up and wash your hands, Qin Zhen’s drool is all over the floor."
Everyone burst into laughter, which made Li Jianqing’s embarrassment fade away, and they gathered in the yard to start eating in high spirits.
Qin Zhen watched in dismay as the last piece of meat was picked up by his brother and swished it in the pot a few times before putting it into Li Xianglu’s bowl, and he complained with his mouth wide open, "Brother, are you still my real brother? How come you’re nicer to this stinky girl than you are to me!"
