“Alright, alright, alright. Aren’t you? Why are you reacting so strongly to a rich second-generation heir?”
“I didn’t see you like this when you were in junior high school. I didn’t say that it’s not good to be a rich second-generation heir. Why are you in a hurry?” Li Zhenhua asked Liu Xiaodong.
“Sigh, I’ll tell you about this later. It’s a sad past. Let’s go back to this forging competition.
‘Well, come on.’
“When the time comes, I can pull in the rich second-generation heir I know. I’ll follow along. What if I get a big job?” Liu Xiaodong said to Li Zhenhua and even told him his plan.
It was true that the two of them were good brothers, but some things had to be made clear.
Even though Li Zhenhua wouldn’t say anything even if Liu Xiaodong brought him over directly, there would always be some animosity.
“Sure, you’re waiting for me here. You’re becoming more and more like a profiteer.
Being a businessman is becoming more and more qualified. Just bring him when I want to start work.”
This kind of thing could help his brother, so why not?
When Liu Xiaodong heard that Li Zhenhua had agreed to what he said, he was also happy in his heart. It was not impossible to mix other things into the relationship between brothers.
However, when mixing these, he had to make it clear at the beginning and put everything on the table.
As the saying went, even brothers would settle accounts clearly. There was no need to deliberately ask for anything. After all, it was a favor to help if he could, and it was his duty not to help.
“Brother Hua, thank you so much. I can’t repay you. How about this? I’ll give myself to you. I’ll let you ravage me tonight.”
Liu Xiaodong was grateful for Li Zhenhua’s performance on this matter, but he couldn’t bring himself to say something mushy.
However, if he made a joke, he would be able to express his gratitude. He would not be embarrassed.
“That’s enough. I’m afraid I’ll die of disgust from your fat. Let’s not talk about such a disgusting topic.”
At this point, Li Zhenhua dodged the fatty’s kick and said again,
“Fatty, let’s roast some skewers in the courtyard in the afternoon.
Ever since I went to Shanghai, I haven’t eaten barbecue once.
Hujiang people live a little too exquisitely. The dishes over there are also exquisite.”
“Alright, I think most of your sickle has been completed. I think it has also been quenched.
All that was left was to install the scythe handle. ‘Then there’s no hurry. That work will wait until you do it tomorrow.’
Also, the rest of your time today belongs to me. Let’s have some roasted meat.
I’ll do it myself. It’s safe to roast it myself. I’ll call someone to send some Thye Shan over. Let’s drink to our fill today.”
When Liu Xiaodong heard that Li Zhenhua wanted to eat, he became energetic and immediately arranged everything properly.
“No wonder you’re fat. Look at how energetic you are when it comes to food. Let’s go, I’ll bring you to buy sheep.”
Don’t drive that Emperor Shower of yours. I’ll borrow a tricycle from the neighbor next door.
“Let’s go to Liangxiang’s Han Village. I wonder if that sheep farmer has any lambs recently.”
As Li Zhenhua spoke, he packed up his tools and returned all the used tools to their original positions.
After that, he came to the door and saw that no one continued to come over to see him. He came to the door and looked up to pull the shutter down.
After locking the door, Li Zhenhua brought Liu Xiaodong to borrow an electric tricycle from a neighbor’s house. It was the kind that could pull goods from the back of the truck. The two of them squeezed into the driver’s seat in front.
Li Zhenhua and the fatty weighed more than 400 pounds. This weight made it difficult for Li Zhenhua to control the handlebars.
Fortunately, Li Zhenhua was a blacksmith and had some strength. Otherwise, it would not be easy to master.
“Fatty, it’s indeed time for you to lose weight. There’s already a seat for one person in front. Now that you’re so huge,
This doesn’t fit the two of us at all. Why don’t you go sit in the back!?”
Li Zhenhua felt uncomfortable being squeezed by the fatty, just like Liu Xiaodong.
“Go away. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. I’m really going to sit in the back later.”
You would definitely immediately shout to the side.
Everyone, come and see if this pig is fat. I absolutely believe that you can do it.”
Liu Xiaodong looked like he had seen through Li Zhenhua and directly exposed his plan.
“Hehehe, you really know me well.”
The two of them laughed all the way to the sheep farm.
Li Zhenhua’s heart, which had been affected by his withdrawal from school, slowly recovered under the company of his brother.
The two of them bought a lamb that was less than a year old from the goat handlers.
The total weight was 75 kilograms, and the sheep farmer asked for a total of 900 yuan.
He threw the sheep onto the tricycle and eagerly returned to Li Zhenhua’s house.
After arriving home, Li Zhenhua was in charge of finding barbecue tools, condiments, and so on.
And the fatty who was especially concerned about eating was indeed killing sheep in the corner of the courtyard.
Although this fatty was considered a rich second-generation heir in their county, he was not the kind of person who knew nothing but arrogance.
When he was young, he often drank and played with Li Zhenhua. His family only made a name for themselves after junior high school.
After that, the two of them cooperated seamlessly. Almost an hour later, the two of them stepped on a plastic frame of a large super beer with a small barbecue grill in front of them.
They were all left-handed cooked meat skewers and right-handed raw meat skewers.
From time to time, they would drink some wine. There was a big iron oven beside the two of them with a lamb chop inside.
This was the best day for Li Zhenhua since he returned. All his worries were forgotten.
The two of them drank until late at night. Liu Xiaodong originally wanted to stay at Li Zhenhua’s house directly, but Liu Xiaodong’s father drove away and took the remaining mutton with him.
Before dawn the next day, the rooster began to crow again. Li Zhenhua was called by the rooster again.
Li Zhenhua woke up when he opened his eyes and looked up at the familiar ceiling.
However, he did not get up. Instead, he continued to lie on the bed, thinking about the forging competition that Liu Xiaodong had told him about yesterday.
Li Zhenhua, who didn’t know much about this competition, opened the browser on his phone.
After searching for information about this competition, Li Zhenhua seriously wondered if he should participate in this competition.
While searching for information, he saw the final bonus column.
The prize for the champion of the Jiuzhou District of the Forging Saber Competition was 200,000 yuan, the runner-up was 150,000 yuan, and the third place was 50,000 yuan.
In the annual international finals of the Forging Saber Competition, the champion was 500,000, the runner-up was 350,000, and the third place was 200,000.
When he saw the money, something called the True Fragrance Law descended on Li Zhenhua.
Li Zhenhua immediately jumped up from the bed. He had decided that he must participate in this forging competition.
He had to participate for the sake of money. After all, this was really too fragrant.
