Chapter 94 Intercepted

Jian Tongyi successfully helped Lin Qi buy a sleeper berth. After giving Lin Qi the ticket and the remaining money, he looked at her with expectant eyes, "Lin Qi, where's mine?"

"I'll give it to you in a minute. No rush." ​​Lin Qi took the money and the ticket and glanced at the time on the ticket. "The train leaves at 11:30 am."

"Yes, the bus leaves at 11:30 in the morning. It takes an hour to get from the town to the county by bus. There is a bus from the town to the county every half hour. So, we'd better arrive in the town before nine o'clock tomorrow." Jian Yi said.

Lin Qi nodded, "Okay, I got it. I have something to do in town tomorrow, so I need to go there early. Let's meet at the bus station."

Jian Yi frowned, "What do you want to do?"

"Private matter." She was going to the bank to deposit money.

Jian Tongyi was obviously not satisfied with Lin Qi's answer, but since they were just friends, he didn't want to ask more questions, so he said, "My sweet potatoes."

"In the warehouse, go and choose for yourself." Lin Qi said.

Jian Tong's eyes lit up, "How many are fine?"

"No. I'll give you four sweet potatoes as payment for the ticket. I'll also pick two taro as a thank you for your care over the past few months." Lin Qi said.

"I don't deserve to be taken care of, it's just that we are helping each other." Jian Tong said with a smile, but he was not polite at all. No matter whether it was sweet potatoes or taro, he picked up the biggest ones and filled the sack he brought with them.

As soon as Jian Yitong left, Xu Hexiao came and brought the big backpack he had just made.

Seeing that her kitchen was dark, Xu Hexiao immediately walked towards it and said, "I'll go get you some hot water. Take a bath before you go to sleep."

Lin Qi hummed, "Then I'll go pack my things first."

The backpack made by Xu Hexiao is very large. It is made of two cloth pockets put together. The edges are reinforced with dense stitches, making it look very sturdy.

Lin Qi first put three military coats into the bag, then her two sets of clothes, and then the White Rabbit milk candies and four boxes of cakes given by Brother Tan.

There were six boxes of cakes, and she left two boxes for Xu Hexiao. She had intended to leave him some White Rabbit candy, but he said that White Rabbit candy was not as delicious as the jujube honey she made, so she didn't leave any.

The bath bucket was bought by Xu Hexiao at the request of Brother Tan. He carried it all the way back from Brother Tan's house and rested five or six times on the way.

Fortunately, Lin Qi likes this bath tub. Whenever she takes a bath at home, she must soak for half an hour.

When Lin Qi went to take a bath, Xu Hexiao went back home. When he came back, he had a few more things in his hands, including two packs of cigarettes, two boxes of tea, and a bottle of famous wine.

When Lin Qi came out of the shower, he was packing these things into his backpack.

"New Year gift?" she asked.

"Yes, a New Year's gift." It doesn't make sense that others can give gifts but he can't.

Seeing his serious look, Lin Qi couldn't help but want to tease him, "Even if you give it to me, my parents won't know you exist, so you'll lose out."

"It doesn't matter." Xu Hexiao lowered his brows. "This is my intention. It's enough for them to feel it."

Seeing him like this, Lin Qi felt inexplicably soft-hearted. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Xu Hexiao spoke first, "Put out your hand."

"What are you doing?" Lin Qi asked, but she stretched out her hand obediently.

Xu Hexiao took something out of his pocket, an exquisite ladies' watch.

"When did you buy it?" Lin Qi was very surprised.

"When you bought a watch for your elder brother." Xu Hexiao said.

Lin Qi was even more surprised, "So early?"

"At that time, I just asked Brother Tan to keep an eye on it. It was not until a few days ago that he found the right one," Xu Hexiao explained.

In fact, it is not suitable, but what Xu Hexiao likes. Brother Tan found nearly ten styles of women's watches for Xu Hexiao, but Xu Hexiao didn't like any of them until he spent a lot of effort to get a foreign watch called something-something-Di. The design of this watch is exquisite and beautiful. From the side, you can see the arched sapphire glass mirror and curved hands, the combination of stainless steel case, gray-blue dial and gray-brown suede calfskin belt. Every detail is very sophisticated, and it is amazing at first glance. But the price is also very beautiful, nearly 500 yuan!

In Tan's opinion, a watch is just a watch for telling time. It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not. He didn't want to give this watch to Xu Hexiao because it was too expensive. But Xu Hexiao didn't like the ones he chose, so he took great pains to get the most expensive watch. His original intention was to make Xu Hexiao like it, but he couldn't afford that much money, or he was reluctant to spend that much money on a watch.

But Xu Hexiao fell in love with the watch at first sight and paid for it promptly.

"It seems to have a glacier in it, pure and beautiful!" Lin Qi exclaimed, this gray-blue dial is so unique!

"Do you like it?" Xu Hexiao had already gotten the answer from Lin Qi's face, but he still couldn't help asking one more question. He wanted to hear her say it in person.

"I like it." Lin Qi did not hide her joy.

Xu Hexiao curled his lips, and the grief and depression that had accumulated for many days finally eased a little, "As long as you like it."

Seeing the long-lost smile on Xu Hexiao's face, Lin Qi couldn't help but say one more sentence, "I like it so much that I don't want to take it off."

"Then don't pick it." Xu Hexiao said.

"Will it break if I press it down while sleeping?" Lin Qi was a little worried.

"If it breaks, just buy another one." Xu Hexiao was very generous.

"Can you find another one like it?" It's so unique, it must be rare.

Xu Hexiao was stumped by the question, and after a while he said, "I'm afraid it's hard to find."

"Then I'll take it off before I go to sleep." Lin Qi said.

Xu Hexiao frowned, thinking that he must buy her a lot of watches in the future, changing one every day, and not repeating the same one for 360 days.

Lin Qi felt the convenience of having a watch the next day. When she woke up, she could know the time to the minute through her watch. This way, she no longer had to worry about being late for the bus.

The timing of Xu Hexiao's gift of the watch was just right.

Lin Qi had just finished washing up when Xu Hexiao came and brought breakfast.

"For breakfast, we have steamed buns, steamed bread, egg pancakes and pumpkin porridge. What do you want to eat?" Xu Hexiao laid out the breakfast items one by one.

"I want them all." Lin Qi said, "There are so many different ways. Did you get up in the middle of the night to make them?"

"Yeah." Xu Hexiao admitted frankly, without any embarrassment, "I had no experience, so it took me several attempts before I succeeded."

Lin Qi was stunned. She thought Xu Hexiao got up at four or five o'clock, but after hearing what he said, it seemed that this time had to be pushed forward two or three hours.

"Are you sleepy?" she asked with concern.

"I'm not sleepy. I'll go get some sleep after you leave." Xu Hexiao said indifferently. He went to find Lin Qi's lunch box and put egg pancakes, steamed buns and meat buns into it. "I didn't pack much for you. If you're hungry, you can buy food in the car."

Lin Qi's mouth was puffed up, she didn't say anything, just nodded.

A few months ago, when she was going to the countryside, her parents and elder brother didn't know, and no one prepared anything for her. A few months later, when she was going back home, someone helped her prepare everything.

Lin Qi's eyebrows curved, and a feeling of happiness surged from her chest to her limbs, making her whole body warm.

Lin Qi made a shoulder pole with two sacks tied to each end. Xu Hexiao tried but found he couldn't lift it.

"It's more than 500 pounds. It's normal that you can't lift it." Lin Qi comforted.

Xu Hexiao hummed. He had a clear understanding of his own rookie status, so he was not sad. However, when he saw Lin Qi pick up the pole with one hand and put it on his shoulder with no expression throughout, his breathing became disordered.

He was suddenly curious about where her limits were.

"I don't know. I haven't tried it." Lin Qi said. She was carrying a backpack and carrying things on her shoulders as she went out. "No need to send me off. I'll walk through the mountains and take a detour to get to the plants in the planting area."

"You really don't want me to feed them? I can go cut the grass." Six days is not a short time. Without food, will the animals run away?

"No need to mow the grass. I will store some vegetables, fruits and grass in the cave. You just need to throw them into the planting area when the time comes." Storing more fruits, vegetables and melons would give Xu Hexiao something to do, and would also prevent him from being idle and having time to think about random things.

Lin Qi went out at seven o'clock and took a detour to the planting area. When she arrived in the town, it was already eight twenty in the morning.

The bank was already open, and fortunately there weren't many people lining up. Lin Qi came out of the bank in just 20 minutes, with another passbook in her hand. Her total deposits were already 5,000, and she had several hundred in cash.

A few months ago, when she came here from Zhoucheng, she had less than ten dollars on her.

In just a few months, her wealth increased hundreds of times.

Lin Qi was in a good mood and walked towards the bus station with a smile on her face.

Along the way, everyone who passed by Lin Qi couldn't help but stop to watch. At first, people were just attracted by the big sacks, but when they saw the person carrying the shoulder pole, their eyes widened. How could there be such a good-looking person!

"The person in front, stop for a moment."

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to you, I told you to stop!"

Several men in uniform stopped Lin Qi.

"Something?" Lin Qi said expressionlessly.

When they saw Lin Qi's appearance clearly, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

"What are these things?" one of them said as he was about to touch them.

Lin Qi dodged lightly, "The bag contains the food and a few pounds of pork that the captain distributed this year."

"Open it and show us." The young man stood in front of Lin Qi, his fiery eyes scanning back and forth on Lin Qi's beautiful face.

She is so beautiful. If they seized her things and charged her with profiteering, would she cry out of fear and throw herself into their arms?

The young man curled his lips maliciously, "You don't dare to open it? Is it because the things inside can't be seen by others?"

Lin Qi frowned. The looks from these people made her feel uncomfortable. It seemed that they came with bad intentions.

What should she do? Knock them out, or just run?

Just as Lin Qi was hesitating, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, "Qiqi, why are you here?"

The person who came was Yu Mingbo’s son Yu Borui.

As soon as they saw Yu Borui, the young men straightened their backs and shouted, "Good morning, Brother Yu."
