1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 121 Zheng Ge is so handsome, I love him to death!

"Li Liang was always better than Qu Peng."

Gu Bin understood: "It's because she's blind and can't judge people properly."

"She's just stupid."

Wang Fan scoffed disdainfully: "If someone treats her a little nicely, she'll stupidly fall head over heels for them. Doesn't she realize that with her pitiful IQ, how can she possibly outwit a cunning fox? It's no wonder she gets played to death."

I have a question.

Lin Xiyu spoke up for her best friend: "You all clearly saw that Qu Peng didn't like her, so why didn't anyone remind her?"

"Is it helpful for us to remind them?"

Instead of answering, Wang Fan asked, "Why do you think Li Liang agreed to the engagement? He had already realized that Qu Peng didn't like her, and he felt a little sorry for her. He had helped her a lot in the past, both openly and secretly, but she's just a blockhead, doesn't understand, and can't tell who is really good to her."

"Li Liang has liked her for a long time, how come I didn't know?"

With gossip to listen to, Lin Xiyu perked up, her eyes sparkling as she took the opportunity to relieve the fatigue from cycling.

"You're just like her, a blockhead."

Gu Bin found it amusing and gave her a sharp rap on the head.

"What's wrong with me?"

Lin Xiyu was baffled: "We were just talking about Wu Meng, why did you bring me into this?"

"Your emotional intelligence is truly exceptional."

Gu Bin smiled helplessly: "I still don't know that the person I truly liked during my three years of high school was you."

"Wow, why am I suddenly feeling so incredibly happy?"

Lin Xiyu winked playfully, deliberately misinterpreting his meaning: "So this is what it feels like to be blessed by a genius."

"You're being naughty again."

Gu Bin's eyes were full of affection: "Pretending not to understand on purpose, huh?"

"No."

Lin Xiyu smiled sweetly: "You have to understand what the genius says. It's just that happiness came too suddenly. I can't believe it. It's like a pie fell from the sky. Such good luck really hit me on the head."

"Wow, Gu Bin, you're such a flirt."

Wang Fan felt a pang of jealousy and couldn't help but feel envious again: "You had your eye on the class representative back in high school, and you kept it so well hidden that even we guys didn't know?"

"Can I be as sexy as you?"

Gu Bin didn't tolerate him and bluntly exposed his sore spot: "You're always showing off to us that you treat women like clothes and change girlfriends more often than you change clothes."

“I wasn’t showing off, it was the truth.”

Wang Fan was unwilling to accept defeat and felt it necessary to prove himself in front of the beautiful women, to make them think that he was also popular and had many suitors: "It's just that our school is strict and doesn't allow early relationships, otherwise, with my looks, handsome and rich, there would be plenty of girls throwing themselves at me like moths to a flame."

"You yourself said it's like a moth drawn to a flame, who would be so foolish as to rush towards you?"

Lin Xiyu found it unpleasant to hear and gave him a disapproving look.

"There are definitely stupid ones."

Instead of being angry, Wang Fan was delighted and used the opportunity to banter with her: "Isn't your best friend one of them? I just don't want to get involved in his messy affair with Qu Peng. Otherwise, with my charm, she would fall for me with just a little effort, becoming infatuated to the point of obsession, almost like a moth drawn to a flame."

"Pooh!"

Lin Xiyu spat at him in annoyance: "Just keep showing off. You're so fickle and don't take relationships seriously. You'll fall for a woman sooner or later."

"Death under the peonies, even being a ghost is romantic."

Wang Fan raised an eyebrow, thinking himself dashing, and gave a wicked smile: "I don't have any other hobbies, I just like beautiful women. What's the point of making so much money? Isn't it for enjoyment? Money and beautiful women are the standard for successful people. My ultimate pursuit in life is to make the most money and date the most beautiful girls. Life is the ultimate pleasure."

"Your life goals are truly extraordinary and peculiar."

Lin Xiyu couldn't stand his smugness and rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

Are all successful people like this?

Xu Yi listened intently to his older siblings, and when he heard about Jin Meinu, he perked up and his eyes lit up.

"necessary."

Wang Fan was quite pleased with the little guy's praise: "Otherwise, why do people strive? What is the goal of striving? Isn't it to live a comfortable and enjoyable life? Ancient emperors conquered the world to conquer beautiful women, and modern men conquer beautiful women with lots of money. It has always been like this, it hasn't changed."

"Are you done yet?"

Lin Xiyu glared at him with displeasure: "Say less, don't set a bad example for the children."

"What I said is true."

Wang Fan laughed and teased her: "Even if he doesn't know now, he will when he grows up."

"Xiao Yi, don't listen to him."

Lin Xiyu was both angry and annoyed.

"Ignore him, he's just trying to annoy you."

Gu Bin saw through the person's despicable intentions and deliberately reminded her: "The more you argue with him, the more energetic he becomes. The best way to deal with this kind of person is to ignore him and treat him like air."

"Hey, Gu Bin, that's so boring."

Wang Fan then turned his attention to him: "I don't believe there's any man in this world who doesn't envy the emperors of ancient times, with their three palaces and six courtyards, surrounded by beauties on both sides."

Lin Xiyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Gu Bin.

Gu Bin's scalp tightened, and he decisively replied with three words: "Not envious."

"Li Liang, what are you saying?"

Wang Fan was unwilling to give up, so he stopped the car and turned back to shout at Li Liang: "Don't you envy the emperors of ancient times? They had wealth, power, and status all in their hands, and they reached the highest peak of life, enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention, standing on the top of the mountain and looking down on the world."

"Do not want to."

Although Li Liang didn't know what was wrong with him all of a sudden, he figured it couldn't be anything good, so he retorted without giving him any face: "You're not talking about the emperor, you're talking about Dongfang Bubai, right?"

"puff."

Wu Meng spat out a mouthful of water.

"Hahaha."

Gu Bin and Lin Xiyu were also amused by his rare humor.

The boy and girl's cheerful laughter lasted for a long time, and the rest of the journey became even more enjoyable because of their deliberate antics and banter.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and at 9:00 a.m. sharp, the group arrived at their destination on time.

-

Large fields of wheat are planted outside the tarmac of Zhangzhuang Airport. August is the season when wheat ripens, and the wheat ears swaying in the wind look like a golden sea.

"Wow, so much wheat!"

Xu Yi happily jumped off his bicycle and rushed into the wheat field, wanting to pluck a handful of wheat ears.

"Watch out for snakes."

Gu Bin reacted quickly and pulled him back.

Are there snakes in the wheat field?

Lin Xiyu's face changed color, and she subconsciously moved closer to him.

"Yes, I have."

Gu Bin nodded: "There are small green snakes in the grass near the helipad, and sometimes they will dart into the wheat field. I encountered one when I was a child and almost stepped on a snake."

"Tsk, that's scary."

Wu Meng was terrified. She rubbed her arms, getting goosebumps all over her body.

"Did you play in the wheat fields when you were a child?"

After being startled, Lin Xiyu was very curious and found it hard to believe that a good student like Gu Bin could be so mischievous.

"It wasn't just me; almost every kid in the compound had crawled through a wheat field..."

Gu Bin saw through her thoughts and smiled jokingly: "My brother is even more mischievous than me. He rolled around in the wheat field and got covered in green juice. His white shirt was all stained with green juice. My grandpa was so angry that he chased him all over the yard with a stick and beat him up."

"Haha, Brother Zheng can be this mischievous sometimes?"

The boys and girls were amused by his humorous tone and couldn't stop laughing.

-

A fighter jet roared overhead, its enormous roar drawing everyone's attention.

"An airplane! Look, it's an airplane!"

Xu Yi excitedly looked up at the sky.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Lin Xiyu shielded her eyes from the glaring sunlight and followed the plane as it circled halfway around.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a fighter jet."

Wu Meng looked on with envy: "Being able to fly in an airplane is such a blessing."

"What's so difficult about that?" Gu Bin said with a smile, "Today I'll grant your wish and let you ride in an airplane and fly around in the sky."

"really?"

Lin Xiyu was pleasantly surprised: "We can ride in fighter jets too?"

"Fighter jets definitely won't work."

Gu Bin changed the subject, pointing to several training aircraft parked on the tarmac, and said with a smile, "Those aircraft are still quite good."

What kind of plane was that?

Lin Xiyu followed his finger and looked over, very curious.

"Yun-5".

Gu Bin patiently explained: "The Y-5 aircraft is the first transport aircraft manufactured by my country. Its prototype is the Soviet An-2 designed in the 1940s. Although this aircraft does not fly very high, with a flight altitude of only 170 meters, its performance is very stable. It is mainly used for transporting materials and agricultural operations."

"Flying low is also an advantage for it."

Li Liang rarely spoke up: "The lower the pesticide flies when spraying, the better the effect."

"Is Brother Zheng also in charge of spraying pesticides?"

Looking at the endless wheat fields, Lin Xiyu imagined Fu Zheng piloting a plane to spray pesticides.

“My brother and his team are not responsible for spraying pesticides; these planes are for training purposes.”

Gu Bin patted her head, interrupting her daydreaming.

"Oh."

Lin Xiyu was a little disappointed; he wanted to witness the spectacular sight of airplanes spraying pesticides.

"When are we going to find Brother Zheng?"

Xu Yi couldn't wait any longer and wanted to take a plane.

"Not in the morning."

Gu Bin was thoughtful: "We need to apply in advance to take a plane. Let's go to the compound first, and after my brother makes the arrangements, we can go to the flight squadron in the afternoon."

"Sigh, we have to wait until the afternoon."

Xu Yi's face fell, and he lost his spirits.

"Don't be discouraged, I'll take you to practice shooting this morning."

Gu Bin patted his little head with amusement.

"Target practice?"

Xu Yi's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book; his eyes lit up, and he instantly perked up again.

"Live-fire shooting?"

Li Liang was also a little excited.

"Yes."

Gu Bin did not disappoint them, and nodded with a smile.

"Wow, this trip was totally worth it."

Wang Fan rubbed his hands together, incredibly excited: "I've never handled a real gun before, a pistol or a rifle?"

"You can try either one."

Gu Bin gave them a pleasant surprise: "Big Brother has made all the arrangements; he's waiting for us at the shooting range."

Wang Fan smiled infatuatedly, "Zheng-ge is so handsome, I love him to death."

"Let's go, stop being disgusting."

Li Liang couldn't bear to watch and got on his bicycle first.

"I want to go to the military camp, I want to practice shooting."

Xu Yi urged hurriedly, "Brother Fan, let's go quickly too."

"Let's go, let's go, we're leaving now."

Wang Fan was even more anxious than him, so he rode his bicycle like a gust of wind towards the military compound.

"Hey, slow down. There are guards at the entrance. They won't let you in without Gu Bin."

Li Liang shook his head and gave him a look that said he was an idiot.

-

range.

Fu Zheng looked dashing and handsome in his military uniform.

Yang Yong, an army officer who knew him well, stood at the edge of the firing range and chatted and laughed with him.

"You're quite something, kid. You've managed to bewitch the division commander's daughter. I heard that young lady is making a huge fuss at home, insisting on marrying you."

"Who told you that? I don't know anything about it."

Fu Zheng raised an eyebrow and glared at him with displeasure.

"Stop pretending, they've already chased you all the way to the tarmac."

Yang Yong nudged him with his elbow and smiled knowingly: "Everyone in the compound knows she likes you."

"Don't talk nonsense, I have a girlfriend."

Fu Zheng rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and decisively distanced himself from the situation.

"Stop it."

Yang Yong didn't believe it and looked him up and down with great suspicion: "You're always training and ascetic as a monk. When did you get a girlfriend?"

"If it exists, it exists."

Fu Zheng explained impatiently, "Why ask so many questions? You're beating around the bush like a woman."

"cut!"

Yang Yongqi laughed: "If I didn't care about you, why would I bother asking about this?"

"Your focus is a bit off."

Fu Zheng teased him with a smile: "If you like it, go after it yourself. There's no need to waste time here."

How could I possibly like her?

Yang Yong wiped his sun-darkened face and laughed self-deprecatingly, "She's a rich heiress, I can't possibly be worthy of her."

"A virtuous woman is afraid of a clinging man."

Fu Zheng patted him on the shoulder to encourage him: "Show that same fierce determination you have on the training field. Keep it up, I believe in you."

"What does this all mean?"

Yang Yong was utterly speechless: "You're saying someone likes you, but you have to drag me into it."

"You find it annoying too, don't you?"

Fu Zheng smiled slyly: "Now you know how I feel? I'm also helpless about getting involved with other people for no reason."

"You really don't like her?"

Yang Yong suddenly looked behind him, his expression changing slightly.

"do not like."

Fu Zheng denied it without even thinking.

"If you don't like it, just explain it clearly."

Li Yong patted him on the shoulder and looked at him with sympathy: "They're already here, right behind you."

"Who is it?"

Fu Zheng frowned and turned around impatiently.

"it's me."

A female soldier in military uniform walked towards the direction where the two were standing.

"Julie?"

Fu Zheng asked bluntly, "What are you doing here?"

"This is the firing range."

Julie raised an eyebrow, looking at him defiantly: "It's a special training range for shooting. Why can you come here but I can't?"

"Your firing range"

Fu Zheng glared at Yang Yong with displeasure: "When did management become so lax? Anyone can just come in?"

"Cough cough."

Yang Yong, caught in the crossfire, retorted with a dark face: "Why are you blaming everything on me? The division commander's daughter wants to practice shooting, how could I dare to stop her? Not only did I not dare to stop her, I also had to accompany her throughout the training."
