After feeling upset for a while, I took out a pen and paper and started replying.

Of course, this letter was not written to Chen Dashan and his wife, but to my grandparents.

They went back by train, which would probably get home faster than your letters, so it would be a good idea to ask them if they have arrived home.

"Chen Zhiqing? Is Chen Zhiqing back?" Sikong Ling's voice came from next door.

Chen Xi's thoughts were suddenly pulled back. He stopped what he was doing and looked towards the next door.

After thinking about it, I put away the paper and pen. My grandparents were not here anyway, so I didn't need to get up in the middle of the night to bring them things.

There is no rush to write this letter. I will go and see what Sikong Ling wants to see me first.

"Sikong Zhiqing, is there anything wrong?" Chen Xi pushed the door open and asked in confusion.

"Are you back?" Sikong Ling only dared to shout when he heard the sound of a door opening and closing next door.

"Well, I'm back. Is there anything wrong?" Chen Xi asked in confusion.

"It's like this... My legs are not very convenient. I've been lying in bed all day and I'm a little hungry. If you want to cook tonight, can you make an extra portion? I'll give you money..." Sikong Ling didn't dare to move as he was still recovering from his leg injury.

I spent the whole day just drinking some uneaten biscuits I brought from the city and some hot water.

A tall young man of about 1.9 meters could not bear such a way of eating and was still very hungry.

He could only shamelessly ask Chen Xi for help.

"Um... I forgot about this. Wait! I'll go back and make some food and bring it to you." Chen Xi had also completely forgotten about the other party.

When he was hungry, he could eat ready-made food in the space. This guy must be really hungry!

Moreover, this guy is too concerned about his reputation and probably won't ask other people at the educated youth site for food.

He is more familiar with himself.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi understood a lot, got up and went back to his room.

Half an hour later, Sikong Ling struggled to sit up, looking at the three dishes and one soup in front of him in confusion.

"Eat! It's best to supplement calcium when your body is injured. Bone soup, it was provided by you." Considering the other party's leg discomfort, Chen Xi stewed some bone soup.

Cooked in a pressure cooker in space, the meat is absolutely soft and boneless.

"You...you haven't eaten yet?" Seeing that the portion of the dish was a bit large, Sikong Ling asked cautiously.

"Yeah! If we eat separately, we have to wash the dishes twice, which is troublesome, so we eat together. What's the matter? Are you a mysophobia person and don't want to eat with others?" Chen Xi asked back in confusion.

"No! That's not the case. Let's eat together. I'm just so sorry to bother you." Sikong Ling kept thanking him.

"No need to thank me, you paid for it." Chen Xi said, placing a piece of leg bone covered with meat on Sikong Ling's rice bowl, "Eat it quickly! It's good for your health if you eat it while it's hot."

Sikong Ling had been hungry all day and was already starving. The stewed meat was so delicious that Sikong Ling couldn't resist eating it. He quickly lowered his head and started eating.

Chen Xi was not polite either. She just had lunch at the state-owned restaurant.

I didn’t dare eat any good food, I packed up all the good things and put them in the space.

The things I took out so far are all what I have on hand, so it doesn’t seem that abrupt.

These pig bones were leftover from wild boar meat in the village. Sikong Ling knew that they were good for calcium supplementation, so he asked the villagers to give them to him.

Sikong Ling nodded. He originally thought that no one could be perfect.

Chen Xi is so good at martial arts, so his cooking skills must be average, so the food should be just edible.

But he didn't expect to be so impressed. The moment the meat entered his mouth, his eyes lit up.

His mouth was faster than his brain and he had no time to think. He fed a hungry person the food, and the food was so delicious that Sikong Ling couldn't stop eating.

He had a hearty and satisfying meal, and even drank up all the bone soup.

Chen Xi was not as hungry as Sikong Ling, so she ate so much. She fiddled with the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Sikong Ling with some curiosity.

"You... I guess you won't be able to cook for the next few days. Why don't you give me the money for meals in one lump sum, and I'll help you cook for the next few days." It's not that he wants to earn some money from him, but it's always weird to rush to help others like this.

Chen Xi didn't want people to think it was strange, so he asked for money.

"Well, the team leader found a barefoot doctor for me. The barefoot doctor said that my leg may need to rest for a few weeks and I will have no time to go to work, so I'm sorry to trouble you for more than a week. Here is ten yuan, which should be enough." Ten yuan is not a lot of money that an ordinary family would spend in a month.

As a result, Sikong Ling took it out and handed it to him so casually, which really surprised Chen Xi.

"I don't need so much." Chen Xi shook his head like a rattle and hurriedly wanted to return the money.

"Refund the excess and pay the shortfall! You can keep it first!" Sikong Ling insisted on giving it.

Chen Xi couldn't refuse, so he accepted it.

As soon as I took the thing, I found a big hand appearing on my head.

Her eyes looked up uncontrollably and she found that it was Sikong Ling who was covering her head with his big palm.

Chen Xi looked at Sikong Ling with a confused expression, "Little Chen Zhiqing, grow up quickly! I want to recommend you to join the army!"

"Huh? Recommend me? To join the army?" Chen Xi suspected for a moment that he had misheard.

"Well, your reactions in all aspects are very good, whether it's physical strength or reaction ability, they are all excellent. The only regret for a talent like you is your height. In fact, the height review for soldiers is not so strict now, and it is enough to be about 1.7 meters tall. You are only seventeen years old this year. Logically speaking, it is still possible for you to grow taller. As long as you can try to exceed 1.6 meters, I will try my best to recommend you to join the army." Sikong Ling really cares about such talents. Once they enter the army, they will be another powerful weapon.

"Sikong Zhiqing...what do you mean? Are you an active-duty soldier now?" An idea suddenly flashed through Chen Xi's mind. He suddenly remembered something and asked Sikong Ling cautiously.

Sikong Ling's hands froze, then he chuckled, "Yes, I think you must have noticed that you live next door to me, but I always go up the mountain in the middle of the night. That's because I came here on a mission. After completing this mission, I will return to the team, so I hope you can grow taller quickly before I complete the mission." Sikong Ling decided to confess. Since he was rescued from the mountain by Chen Xi, his life could be regarded as the second life she gave him. There was no point in hiding it any longer.
