Chapter 253: Like a pair of happy enemies
They are currently researching drugs to control the spread of the disease. Early experimental data show that they are effective, and they are now in the final stage of data recording.
After success, the next step will be clinical trials and other work. Once it is put into use, the future will be bright for those who participated in the research.
Time flew by unnoticed as they were working. After checking the laboratory and finding no problems, they closed the door and left.
We didn't go too far and went to a newly opened restaurant nearby. The environment was comfortable and private, but it was a bit expensive.
After entering the store, Yang Danhong took a look around and sighed, "Tsk, if I hadn't been following the eldest brother, my wallet wouldn't be able to afford to eat here."
The eldest brother has a well-off family and is usually very generous to his younger brothers and sisters.
Among the five of them, Yang Danhong and Liu Dongzhi are probably in worse conditions. Yang Danhong's parents are workers and there are many children in the family so they can't provide much help. Liu Dongzhi came from the countryside and usually has to send the money he saved back to his hometown to supplement the family expenses.
Zhou Chang's parents are cadres, and you can tell from his physique that his family is well off. Although An Xueyan is from the countryside, she has a father who is a self-employed person, and her pocket money is hundreds of dollars a month.
Of course, this was the information revealed to them by An Xueyan. If you really calculate it, her net worth is now worth millions. When she came to Beijing to attend university, her father left the transport team and went to Pengcheng to find a new way to make money.
Later, he paid for two trucks. An Xueyan gave all the money she had to her father, and found a few comrades to go around the country to buy and sell goods. She gave her comrades 10% of the profit. Zhang Min, who had been with her at the time, also joined in, and they made a lot of money together.
Pengcheng has been undergoing large-scale development in recent years. After making some money, her father recruited a group of people to work in the construction industry, commonly known as "contractors". People like her father who work with guaranteed quality and quantity all make a lot of money.
Let’s get back to the topic…
Zhou Chang said, "Honghong, you should eat more later. It's a rare opportunity, so you should eat enough."
Yang Danhong reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his arm, saying with a forced smile, "Fatty, call me Senior Sister."
Zhou Chang instantly grimaced, his features wrinkled together, and cried out, "It hurts~ It hurts~"
"Senior sister, please be gentle..."
Seeing that he was begging for mercy, Yang Danhong also loosened her grip and said harshly, "Hmph, I'll teach you how to behave next time. If you keep yelling, the punishment will be doubled."
Rubbing his pinched arm, Zhou Chang said aggrievedly, "Don't you think Honghong is much more approachable? This proves that we have a good relationship!"
"You are adults and still fighting." The eldest brother who came back from ordering food glared at the two of them.
Seeing An Xueyan sitting obediently next to him, he added, "Not as steady as Xiaoyan."
An Xueyan, who was eating melon with relish, smiled reservedly, looking like a good girl.
After secretly glancing at the senior brother, Yang Danhong shyly adjusted her clothes and sat up straight.
He complained, "It's all Fatty Zhou's fault for not keeping his mouth shut. Brother, please don't wrongly accuse me."
Zhou Chang wanted to say something, but under Yang Danhong's gaze, he touched his nose and shut up.
The eldest brother said in a cold and serious tone, "Then I'll give you more meat later and stop him from eating it."
In the end, he still couldn't bear to give it to me, so he raised his little finger and said, "You can still give me a little bit. It wouldn't be good to give me nothing. After all, he is still my junior brother."
"Puchi~" An Xueyan couldn't help laughing.
Liu Dongzhi beside him handed over a handkerchief and said in a doting tone, "Wipe it off. What are you thinking about? It's so funny."
The other three also looked at her and took out their handkerchiefs from their pockets.
I explained: "Sorry, I just saw someone at the next table doing something funny and I couldn't help myself."
Then he said to Liu Dongzhi in a playful tone: "Thank you, Senior Brother. I brought a handkerchief, so I don't need yours. Otherwise, I would have to go back and wash it for you and give it back to you."
Liu Dongzhi smiled gently, then naturally retracted his smile and shook his head, saying, "You, lazy girl."
She lied, she wasn't laughing because she was looking at the table next to her.
Just seeing the interaction between the three of them just now, I thought about the secret love between you loving her and her loving him, and I thought it was quite interesting.
She personally felt that Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Sister Yang were like a pair of bickering lovers, but she didn't know if they could achieve a happy ending.
The dishes were served. An Xueyan tasted them and found them not as good as those in Uncle Liu's private restaurant, but still pretty good. She thought the lotus root and pork ribs soup was quite delicious.
Liu Dongzhi asked: "Would you like some more soup?"
He saw that she quite liked drinking it, but An Xueyan, who had already drunk two bowls, quickly shook her head.
"No, I need to save my stomach for other dishes."
"Xiaoyan, try this. This pig's trotter is soft, chewy and delicious." Yang Danhong picked up a pig's trotter and put it in her bowl.
"Thank you, senior sister."
Zhou Chang suggested: "After this project is over, should we go out and have some fun and relax?"
"Okay, I have no objection. Where should we go for fun?" An Xueyan was the first to express her opinion.
"I'm fine." The eldest brother also nodded.
Zhou Chang said happily, "I heard that a hot spring hotel has just opened in the suburbs. I can get a coupon and we can go to the hot springs together."
He glanced at Yang Danhong inadvertently. Anyone could see that this person had ulterior motives.
The client was still unaware and yelled, "How much is it per person after the discount? I only have a budget of 20 yuan."
This is Yang Danhong's personality. She says whatever she wants and doesn't feel embarrassed about not having money. It is very rare for her to be able to say it openly.
Most people who are poorer have stronger self-esteem. Deep down, they are actually inferior and do not want to show their ugly side to others. They only want to show their good side.
Therefore, from ancient times to the present, many men have abandoned their wives. Because they have to face the person who has witnessed all his shameful past every day, these people will have a strong sense of humiliation in their hearts. In order to get rid of this situation, they often make the decision to make the other party disappear from their lives.
Of course, this is only the case for those who are not open-minded enough, selfish and have no moral bottom line.
There are people like Yang Danhong who can face it calmly, but they are rare.
Zhou Chang said, "That's a good brother I know. Just give him 5 yuan as a token of appreciation."
Yang Danhong was delighted by the price and said happily, "5 yuan is still acceptable to me. It's a deal then. I want to go too. I've never been to a hot spring in my life. I heard it's good for girls' skin."
Liu Dongzhi hesitated and said, "I'm planning to publish a paper soon. I'll see how things go. I'll try to make time to come out."
