Chapter 245: Qiantun Brigade 2
"Xu, who are these two people behind you? Did they come here with you?" Sun Lamei asked Gu Lei and the others with an uncertain expression.
You know, her cousin does nothing all day long, and she was really unsure why he brought two outsiders into the village so late at night!
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xu stood outside the courtyard gate, rubbing his hands and stamping his feet as he replied, "Yes, they came to your village to look for someone, and I just wanted to show them the way!"
When Sun Lamei asked questions, the vigilant look she gave Gu Lei and the others was naturally noticed by the two people standing outside. They could only shamelessly pretend not to see it.
Indeed, on such a cold night, if two strangers suddenly came to the house, everyone would be wary, not to mention that these two people were brought to the house by Zhu Xu.
You have to know that Zhu Xu is a scoundrel who hangs around the streets doing nothing all day long. How could the people he brought with him be good people?
However, Sun Lamei only dared to mutter these words quietly in her heart. She didn't dare to offend Zhu Xu.
In their family, only Zhu Xu's mother, who married into the city, had some ability. She was hoping to please Zhu Xu and have him say a few good words in front of her second aunt so that she could find a way to get her eldest son to the city.
Thinking of this, Sun Lamei smiled and called the three people outside the yard to come into the house quickly.
"Oh, you must be very cold after all this journey. Come into the house quickly and sit on the kang to warm yourself up!" As he said this, he pulled Zhu Xu and others in.
"Dad, Ah Xu is here with two friends, come out and greet them!"
When Sun Lamei's husband Zhao Shuanzi heard that it was Zhu Xu who came, he quickly stood up and greeted him warmly, "Oh, Ah Xu is here. You must be starving in this cold weather. We are just having dinner. Come on up to the kang and grab a bite to eat!"
"Mother, hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook some more food. We can't let Ah Xu starve!"
Zhu Xu didn't know what politeness meant. He smiled and said, "Cousin, there's no need to cook. It's too much trouble!"
"Just make us some simple noodles, and remember to put an egg on top!"
Sun Lamei and Zhao Shuanzi's faces froze when they heard this. They were just being polite, so why did they order dishes?
Although she was very unhappy in her heart, Sun Lamei still responded loudly on the surface, "No problem, I understand and I'll go make noodles for you!"
Sun Lamei and her husband's skills in cultivating their qi are really not that good, and the expressions on their faces are a little distorted.
At that time, the living conditions of rural families were generally poor, and Gu Lei and Gu Yousheng instinctively pretended not to see anything and let Zhu Xu do whatever he wanted.
Besides, they came here to inquire about the news, hoping that Sun Lamei, a member of the Qiantun Brigade, would come forward. Now they dare not offend her too much!
Thinking of this, Gu Lei took out a large black ten-cent note from his bag and handed it over, then said to Sun Lamei with great gratitude, "Cousin Sun, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. This money is for the accommodation and food expenses of the three of us!"
"Everyone's life is not easy these days. You must accept this money, otherwise we will feel embarrassed to eat your noodles."
Sun Lamei didn't expect to get any money. This made her heart, which was originally distressed about her eggs, suddenly become happy again. "Oh, how can I feel so embarrassed?"
"Hurry up and get on the kang to warm up. I'll go get you some food!" As she said that, Sun Lamei grabbed the money from Gu Lei's hand, put it in her pocket, and went to the kitchen to get busy.
