Chapter 527 Brothers
On the train, the rain seemed to have opened Pandora's box, and kept asking He Lai about the port city.
He Lai did not hide anything from her and told her most of the things that happened in Gangcheng. After all, as his other half in this life, He Lai did not want to hide anything from her deliberately, except his own space of course.
After getting off the train, everyone took a bus to the guesthouse.
It was still a familiar process, but this time He Lai changed to a couple's room.
When the call came, Wu Juan was already waiting at the street office. After all, she loved Yu Shui the most.
On the phone, Wu Juan kept reminding Yu Shui not to get too tired at work, to stay with He Lai, not to go out alone, etc.
The rain agreed to all of them.
When He Lai arrived, he had only one thing to say: bring the rain back to her intact.
After packing the luggage, Sha Zhu came over.
"Yushui, Xiaolaizi, let's go to Taotaoju and have a good meal there."
Silly Zhu said.
"Brother, is Taotaoju a restaurant? Is it the same as Fengzeyuan?" Yu Shui asked curiously.
"Well, your brother and I stayed there for a few days when we came here a few years ago. It's a nice place."
Sha Zhu replied with a smile.
Yu Shui heard that there must be a lot of delicious food there, just like in Fengze Garden, so she immediately looked at He Lai with expectant eyes.
"Okay, since you don't mind being tired, then let's go." He Lai agreed.
Just like that, the three of them set off for Taotao Ju.
Tao Taoju
As soon as Sha Zhu arrived at Taotao Ju, he went straight to the kitchen. His cooking skills had improved a lot in the past few years. Although he did not take the exam again, he had reached the level of level three or four.
Yu Shui and He Lai sat at the table and ordered a lot of morning tea. At first, Yu Shui asked them not to order too much as he was afraid they would not be able to finish it.
When I saw the morning tea served in front of me, I was also stunned. I didn't expect it to be so small! The shrimp dumplings were the size of a big toe. It felt like a basket of shrimp dumplings was probably not as big as a meat bun in Beijing.
"Eat it, it tastes pretty good." He Lai said with a smile.
"Yeah." Yu Shui agreed and picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it into her mouth.
Yu Shui's eyes immediately lit up. This morning tea was indeed good.
Soon everything on the table was cleared away. Yu Shui touched her stomach and leaned back in her chair. It was obvious that she had eaten too much.
"You are still so greedy!" He Lai said with a smile.
"Is the food delicious?" Yu Shui stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly.
"Okay, let's go for a walk. It gets dark late here."
He Lai suggested.
"Oh, aren't you waiting for my brother?" Yu Shui asked.
"Your brother is still in the kitchen studying cooking with others. We just need to leave him a message."
"Oh fine."
……
He Lai and Yu Shui were walking on the street. There were no bustling crowds, only some women rushing home.
"Brother Lai, why do I feel that Guangcheng is much quieter than our Sijiu City? There are not many people on the streets."
Rain said.
He Lai smiled bitterly and did not answer immediately.
In 1962, there was a major escape to Hong Kong incident, with hundreds of thousands of Chinese fleeing to the city for refuge. They could not be stopped and were determined to die in the city.
The same goes for people in Guangcheng. In that age of food shortage, this place is close to the port city, so they naturally went there first.
It is said that many rural areas around Shenzhen are now almost empty, with most young people having left, leaving only children and the elderly to look after the homes.
"Brother Lai, what's wrong? Why aren't you talking?" Yu Shui asked.
"It's nothing. It's getting dark. Let's go back." He Lai smiled and put his arm around Yu Shui's shoulders and slowly walked towards the guesthouse.
……
For the next two days, He Lai and his friends spent time at the Canton Fair until Lu Zixuan sent someone to tell He Lai to wait for him at the old place in Aiqun Building this afternoon.
"Yushui, come with me somewhere this afternoon." He Lai whispered to Yushui beside him.
"Oh, are we going to Gangcheng?" Yu Shui immediately reacted and said in He Lai's ear.
He Lai glared at her, looked at the people around him, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful that others hear you!"
"Oh." Yu Shui sat back down aggrievedly.
"Hey, what's going on? Why are you two whispering to each other?" Zhang Zhiwen leaned over and said with a smile.
"Brother Zhiwen, let's go over there and chat." He said, and then pulled him to the corridor.
in the corridor
"You, you, you are a person who values women over friendship. When I wanted to go with you, you refused to let me, saying it was inconvenient. Now that it's raining, you want to take her with you right away."
Zhang Zhiwen said with great sorrow.
"Okay, Brother Zhiwen, don't think I don't know about you. Last October, you and Sister Song Xue went there together! And you went there with entry permits."
He Lai looked at Zhang Zhiwen with contempt and said.
"Uh..." Zhang Zhiwen was stunned for a moment, his face flushed, and he continued, "How can it be the same? I went there when the Canton Fair was over. We went there to inspect the project."
"What are you inspecting? I don't even know your abilities, and what about projects? What projects do we have in Hong Kong that you can inspect?"
He Lai exposed it ruthlessly.
"This is a secret! I can't tell you!" Zhang Zhiwen replied proudly.
Zhang Zhiwen really had something to do there. After all, Hong Kong is the economic center of Southeast Asia, so China naturally arranged some people to work there.
Zhang Zhiwen's parents are high-ranking officials in the Chinese public security department. They asked Zhang Zhiwen to go to Gangcheng to have some fun and bring back some information.
"Okay, Brother Zhiwen, I'm just telling you that I'll probably be leaving in two days." He Lai said.
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Zhiwen nodded, then looked at He Lai and asked, "Come on, what on earth are you going to Hong Kong for? I'm really curious. I can't just go there to take a look every time I go to Hong Kong."
"Brother Zhiwen, there is nothing I can't say now. I can only say that I am not a spy and I have not done anything to let down the country. Are you satisfied with this answer?" He Lai said solemnly.
"That's not what I meant. Don't get me wrong! I'm just curious, that's all. If you don't want to tell me, then forget it."
Seeing that He was speaking so seriously, Zhang Zhiwen immediately explained.
"Brother Zhiwen, you will know later. Anyway, I can't tell you now. I'm sorry." He Lai apologized.
After all, He Lai really treats Zhang Zhiwen as his brother. If it weren't for this situation, he really wouldn't want to hide it from Zhang Zhiwen.
"Hey, come here, what are you talking about? We are brothers. It's okay, it's okay, just go. I'm here! If you need help talking, I have some connections here." Zhang Zhiwen said, putting his arm around He Lai's shoulder.
"Well, we are brothers for life!" He Lai also hugged Zhang Zhiwen and said.
……
He Lai and the other person came out talking and laughing, and Yu Shui immediately cast an inquiring look at them.
"Yushui, stop looking. I'll return Lailai to you." Zhang Zhiwen smiled and pushed He Lai, then turned around and continued to work.
"Brother Lai, what are you guys talking about?" Yu Shui asked quietly.
"Let's talk about how to shut your mouth!" He Lai said with a smile.
"Hmph, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I'll go find my brother!" Yu Shui said angrily, and went to the grinding machine booth to find Sha Zhu.
