Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 384 Suppression

"Okay, thank you big sister." Tengzi happened to be sitting at the serving table and immediately gave his big sister a big smile.

Jiang Yu first smelled the aroma of the tofu soup and the pancakes. The tofu soup was added with shellfish, which was very fresh. After taking a sip, she found it to be a very refreshing and appetizing soup. She then picked up the golden and crispy pancake and took a careful bite.

The crumbs fell into the soup bowl. The crispy outside and tender inside pancake had both the aroma of oil and wheat, which was just right with the tofu soup.

Ginger Fish finished a pancake in just a few bites, and then drank up the tofu soup. Great, his appetite was whetted, and he was looking forward to the subsequent dishes.

After a while, the steamed seafood was served one after another.

The swimming crabs were plump, the clams were big, and the cockles were fresh. The most important thing was the shrimps that I heard people mention today. Whether it was Jiangyu or others, it was the first time for everyone to eat shrimps covered with roe. There was a long strip of red that was almost black in it. When you bite it open, the middle is golden, and the taste is firm and very fragrant.

The waiter brought them a plate of crabs they had never seen before. They were round and had two eyes on their backs. "This is a demon crab. It tastes a little different from a swimming crab. I can't explain it clearly, but you'll know once you try it. It's not on the menu. There are only a few of them."

"Thank you, big sister. Anyway, you can put it in the bill and settle it after we finish eating." Fu Biao thanked her quickly. Maybe the chef was going to keep it for himself.

"Okay. Then you guys eat first." The eldest sister left with satisfaction.

The fried buns are a bit chewy, the rice dumplings are full of seafood flavor, the smoked chicken is delicious and not dry, and finally, two mouthfuls of cold noodles mixed with the soup are poured into the stomach, which is so satisfying.

Jiang Yu looked at the small hill of seafood shells in front of him and curved his eyebrows with joy. He thought that one should eat more delicious food when going out to play and try delicacies that he has never tasted before. This trip was really the right one!

Not only her, but everyone else was also satisfied with the meal.

Xiong Lijin touched his bloated belly and exclaimed, "It's so delicious. The seafood here is well-known for what it deserves."

"I don't need you to tell me. Just by looking at the way you eat, I know it tastes good. Xiong Lijin, you can be a signboard for a restaurant~ Hey, hey, hey, don't do it, be careful not to spit it out! Those dishes are not cheap, it's shameful to waste them!" Fu Biao was also full, but he didn't say anything, and even laughed at others. "Let's go back after we finish eating and have a good rest. We have other plans tomorrow."

Xiong Lijin rolled his eyes in anger, "How are you better than me!" Don't you look like you have never eaten seafood in your life!

The two of them started arguing with each other again.

Jiang Yu is funny. Don’t they feel full? Isn’t it uncomfortable to be so noisy?

Everyone went downstairs and walked to the door, while Fu Biao and Xiong Lijin went to pay the bill. After they came out, everyone walked into the guesthouse across the street and then went back to their rooms.

I've been tired all day and I just had a meal. If you have anything to say, let's wait until tomorrow. The most important thing now is to have a good rest.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ming, who had been locked up in a warehouse for a whole day without eating or drinking, huddled in a corner. He recalled what had happened today over and over again in his mind, from being caught stealing by his roommate in the morning, to being surrounded and scolded by villagers in the morning, to now being surrounded by silence as if he had been completely forgotten. He couldn't help but shudder.

He was hungry and thirsty, and at the same time he felt resentful and afraid, a mixture of emotions.

It’s all their fault. We are all educated youth, so why do they treat me like this?

It's not my fault. I just took two pieces of firewood from someone else. The person involved didn't say anything to me, but those people tried to catch the rat with the dog, and made me suffer so much...

But he had long forgotten that the reason the person concerned did not stand up and express his dissatisfaction with him was simply because she was not there.

Zhang Ming leaned towards the corner again, hugged his knees tightly, and wished he could curl up.

The faces of the educated youth who attacked him in the morning and the villagers who scolded him at noon gradually overlapped in his mind, and then they looked hideous, with their bloody mouths wide open, as if they wanted to swallow him in one gulp.

"It's not my fault, it's not my fault..." It's them, it's Zhao Chunjiang, why did he hand me over to the brigade, it's He Yuanchao, why did she say that about me, it's Chen Jinghan, being rich and unkind, she should be trampled underfoot like those landlords! Zhang Ming repeated these words over and over again, brainwashing himself.

He would never admit that he had a problem. He had always been a good kid in the eyes of his parents and friends since he was young. How could he do something wrong?

It's all Wu Xiaoxiao's fault, that idiot woman. She would run away from me just because someone said something to her. She avoids me like a ferocious beast... If she wasn't rich, who would want to see such a stupid thing? She is so ungrateful!

And that sissy He Chongwen, it's inexplicable, he has nothing better to do than to meddle in other people's business! That damn bitch He Yuanchao, they are all a bunch of stumbling blocks that ruin my good deeds, I have to kick them away... I have to kick them away!

Meanwhile, Zhao Chunjiang was sitting on the kang at the educated youth center with a serious look on his face. Faced with the inexplicably serious situation, he had no idea what to do.

Seeing that he was silent, Chen Lei glanced at his roommate who had just moved in. Both of them shut their mouths honestly and didn't dare to say anything nonsense.

Wu Aiqing, who was standing next to him, listened to Chen Jinghan's account of what happened during the day and asked, "Isn't this a bit too serious?"

"Not really. Don't forget that the brigade was robbed two years ago, and everyone seemed to have suffered a lot of losses that time. It's understandable that they hate thieves so much." Chen Jinghan said. It's not that he really thinks the villagers' behavior is acceptable, but this explanation seems to make sense.

Wu Aiqing let out a long "oh", "Is it just because of this?"

"Knock knock" someone is knocking on the door.

Chen Jinghan happened to be standing by the door. He stood up to pour some water and opened the door. It was Zhao Chunjiang with a serious look on his face.

"It's so late, what's the matter?" Chen Jinghan was a little confused. Although their relationship with the old educated youth had eased a lot now, it was indeed rare for someone to come back and knock on the door so late at night.

Zhao Chunjiang pursed his lips and whispered, "I suspect the team dealt with Zhang Ming this way today in order to suppress us."

Chen Jinghan raised his eyebrows. He was not surprised at all when he heard his words. "Come in." He made way for Zhao Chunjiang to come in and talk.

Wu Aiqing was originally leaning on the pillow reading a book, but now he sat up straight and pointed to his spot beside the kang, "Let's sit here. It's closer so it's easier to talk."

Zhao Chunjiang sat down as instructed.
