Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 262 - 261 Can We Have Slippery Intestines?

Lin Dong scratched his head, "Then I really need to think this through! They don’t have any opportunities when they go to the greenhouse together, with so many people around watching."

"It’s best if we all go out to have fun together! Then... give them a chance..."

Lin Qiu knew his brother had many ideas, "Come on, tell me! I’m all ears!"

"How about watching a movie?" Lin Dong suggested, "We could even invite my future brother-in-law! Let’s all go together tonight!"

Lin Qiu thought it was a good proposal, "Okay! I’ll talk to Wu Zhengyang when he gets off work at noon!"

But Lin Dong was still rubbing his chin in thought, "But just watching a movie with my second sister won’t do, it’s too dark and noisy to talk.

"It would be better if we did something else too. What about climbing mountains to pick stuff or fishing in the river? Climbing mountains is too tiring, but fishing is not bad, and we can grill the fish right there..."

Seeing him getting more and more excited, Lin Qiu couldn’t help interrupting him, "Dongzi! We should ask my sister’s opinion first! Besides, Brother Lu might leave after buying Lingzhi!"

"Right!"

Meanwhile, Lin Xia, accompanied by Lu Zheng, arrived at the greenhouse.

Inside, some of the early stall owners were already setting out their goods, and those who knew Lin Xia greeted her.

But most of them were casting their eyes on Lu Zheng, guessing what his relationship with Lin Xia was.

Zheng Haiyun had set up her stall quite early. Seeing Lin Xia accompanied by a tall and handsome man, she curiously sized him up from head to toe and scoffed. What exactly did this man do?

However, their relationship was in a rough patch, and she feared if she asked, Lin Xia would not have any kind words for her.

Lu Zheng was helping Lin Xia set up the goods, and although he knew nothing about it, his proactiveness was commendable. He hung up the clothes where they were supposed to go and silently went about the work.

When Liu Caifeng arrived, the goods on the stall were already well arranged. She curiously eyed the man sitting next to Sister Lin.

She wondered if he might be her boyfriend.

In the morning, there were quite a few people picking up wholesale goods. Lin Xia was quick with accounts, Liu Caifeng supported with the sales, and Lu Zheng helped watch the stall.

Those familiar with Lin Xia, who came to pick up goods, quietly asked her who the helping person was.

Lin Xia explained that he was her eldest brother’s friend.

By almost ten o’clock, seeing that most customers were retail, Lin Xia asked Liu Caifeng to watch the stall, and they left first.

Lu Zheng followed Lin Xia, like a guard by her side.

Once they were out of the greenhouse, he asked, "Lin Xia! Where are we going now?"

Lin Xia turned to look at him, "To buy groceries!"

Now that he was here, she wanted to make something decent.

Lu Zheng smiled happily. He missed the dishes cooked by Lin Xia.

The market was very close by, and Lin Xia strolled there with him on foot.

Talking along the way, Lu Zheng shared with Lin Xia stories from his workplace.

Lin Xia found it quite interesting.

She once again brought up the question she was most concerned about, "Can my eldest brother come back before the New Year?"

"He can!" This time, Lu Zheng gave her a definite answer.

Lin Xia smiled happily "That’s great!"

The three of them had already spent two New Year’s together, and if her eldest brother could come back before this year’s New Year, they would finally be able to celebrate together as a family.

Lu Zheng looked at Lin Xia, who was smiling at him in the sunlight, and sighed to himself, how lovely his girl looked when she smiled.

Lin Xia noticed his gaze, bright and unblinking, focused on her, and she felt her face warm up, reining in her smile. Had she just gotten a little too carried away?

She changed the subject, "By the way, Lu Zheng! What would you like to eat?"

"Actually, I’m fine with anything! But could there be ’liu fei chang’?" He really missed her ’liu fei chang.’ He hadn’t had it the last time he was here either, and he ended up throwing up after eating hot pot instead, which he found embarrassing every time he thought about it. Luckily, Jiang Mingyuan was in the same boat as him.

As Lu Zheng mentioned it, Lin Xia also remembered the incident and couldn’t help but snicker, "No problem!"

Knowing for certain that her big brother would be coming back, she felt elated and planned to cook up something really nice for him.

If she had initially planned to make six dishes, now she was going to prepare eight!

If Lu Zheng knew that this upgrade was because of the news about Lin Chun, one could only wonder what he would think.

The two of them bought a bunch of groceries and headed home, with Lu Zheng not letting Lin Xia carry a single thing; he carried it all himself.

In the end, only after Lin Xia’s insistent request did he let her carry a fish.

Before Lin Xia and Lu Zheng even reached their doorstep, they saw Wu Zhenghong and Wang Lan from the small convenience store across the street sitting in a shady spot by the gate, cracking sunflower seeds and gossiping.

Wang Lan had seen Lu Zheng before and was deeply impressed by him.

She remembered seeing them buying groceries together last time, seeming just like a couple.

Seeing them together again, her face was filled with amusement.

She wondered why Lin Xia didn’t need her to fix up a match for her, as she apparently had an even better option.

Wu Zhenghong had a good relationship with Lin Xia and, now that Lin Qiu was going to be her future sister-in-law, she came up to them immediately and asked, "Lin Xia! Who is this gentleman?"

As she spoke, she sized up Lu Zheng. She saw all sorts of people every day, but it was her first time seeing someone with such looks and presence.

Normally, handsome guys are short, and it’s rare to see someone tall and handsome with charisma too.

Smiling, Lin Xia introduced him, "Sister Hong! This is my big brother’s friend, Lu Zheng!"

"Hello!" Lu Zheng greeted cordially.

Lin Xia had just told him that Lin Qiu was dating the son of their next-door neighbor, and the neighbor’s sister owned a hair salon.

"Hello!" Wu Zhenghong had a very good impression of Lu Zheng. Looking at his appearance and stature, he truly stood out.

Seeing Lu Zheng’s arms full of groceries, her smile broadened, "Then go on in! Come over to our place when you are free, okay?"

Lin Xia led Lu Zheng straight into the clothing store.

Wang Lan told Wu Zhenghong with certainty, "This man has been here before!"

"Is that so? He has been here before?"

"Yes! I’ve seen him before! Someone like him, you remember after just one glance!"

"That’s right!" Wu Zhenghong agreed with a laugh, "He does look very dashing! Just look at those features, that head!"

"Dahong! What do you think his relationship with Lin Xia is?"

"Just friends!" Wu Zhenghong couldn’t say more in front of Wang Lan, or else she might spread rumors later.

Wang Lan just smiled; she didn’t believe it.

Lin Qiu was busy working, "Big sister! You’re back?"

Seeing Lu Zheng and his big sister bringing in groceries, Lin Dong hurried over with a big grin, ready to lend a hand, "Lu Ge (big brother Lu)! Let me help carry something!"

Lin Xia glared at him, "Where did you run off to this morning as soon as you put down your stuff?" fгeewebnovёl.com

"I went to see a classmate!" Lin Dong certainly wasn’t going to admit that he had been hiding under the workbench where his second sister was working, "Big sister! Is there anything I can do to help?"

Lin Xia commanded, "Clean the chicken and fish!"

"Alrighty!" Lin Dong answered cheerfully.

Putting the groceries on the stove, Lu Zheng went out to the yard to help Lin Dong.

They chatted and found they had plenty in common, eventually talking about going to Haizi’s house after lunch.

Inside the house, as Lin Xia boiled a big pot to handle the ’liu fei chang,’ she listened to the conversation just outside the door and couldn’t help but chuckle; their back-and-forth banter was pretty entertaining.
