Ren Tengfei instantly calmed down and gave a faint "Mmm," "Okay, go ahead!"

Wang Xiaomai didn't actually want to leave quickly; she wanted to stay and talk to Ren Tengfei a little longer.

But clearly now is not a good time.

So she could only force a smile and say, "Okay, I'm off then, see you later!"

With a wave of her hand, Wang Xiaomai suppressed her reluctance and quickly left.

After catching up with Su Limin, Wang Xiaomai couldn't help but look back. She saw Ren Tengfei still standing there watching her, but she felt no joy at all.

Because she knew in her heart that Ren Tengfei would never look at her; he was looking at Su Limin, not her.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaomai sadly looked away, turned to Su Limin, and advised, "Limin, Tengfei is only saying this for your own good. Qin Huai is already married. Even if he really divorces Qiao Qiqi, he'll be a second-hand man. Your father won't let you marry him."

Su Limin frowned.

She's not stupid; she doesn't need anyone to remind her of this. She knows it in her heart.

But she just couldn't stand it!

Why should the man she has liked for so many years be stolen away by Qiao Qiqi?

Thinking of all the good things Qin Huai had done for Qiao Qiqi, Su Limin felt even more resentful. She felt that Qin Huai should have married her and that she should have been the one going to town to eat, drink, and have fun every day!

Qiao Qiqi stole the happiness that originally belonged to her!

Thinking of this, Su Limin suddenly stopped in her tracks, her face darkening, and said, "Even if I can't marry Qin Huai, I absolutely cannot let Qiao Qiqi have a good time!"

Wang Xiaomai frowned. "Then what can you do?"

Although Su Limin hadn't figured it out yet, she looked up at the villagers walking not far away, and a plan flashed through her mind.

"Achoo!" Qiao Qiqi suddenly sneezed and quickly turned her head away.

He rubbed his nose and muttered to himself: Could it be that Qin Huai is thinking about him?

Thinking of this, she felt a surge of joy and quickly scooped the meat out of the basin.

I put about two pounds of meat into a large pot, added my secret braised meat recipe, and a few minutes later, the aroma wafted up.

After putting the eight washed eggs into the pot and adding firewood, Qiao Qiqi began to cut the remaining meat.

To make sausages, you have to cut the meat into larger pieces for them to taste good.

Back in modern times, when her grandmother first taught her how to make sausages, she said that the meat for sausages must not be ground in a meat grinder, because meat ground in a meat grinder doesn't taste good; it must be hand-cut to taste good.

Cut the lean meat into larger pieces, while the fatty meat should be cut into small cubes. This is to avoid affecting the taste.

Qiao Qiqi doesn't eat fatty meat, and Lin Chunying doesn't like it either, but everyone else can eat it.

So she divided the meat into two bowls, one small portion of which was made with pure lean meat, and the other large portion with a mixture of lean and fat.

There was no red yeast rice in those days, so Qiao Qiqi used white wine instead. Both were prepared in their original flavor to preserve the freshest taste of the meat.

After adding the ingredients, it needs to marinate for a while. Qiao Qiqi had just placed the two basins against the wall when Qin Huai returned.

And they brought back good news: "The inspection team from Beijing was selected for Ningyuan Town, and they're supposedly coming to the town tomorrow."

"Really?" Qiao Qiqi's eyes lit up.

Although being drawn as Ningyuan Town does not necessarily mean that they will come to their village, because there are six or seven communes under Ningyuan Town, and Qingyang Brigade is just one of them. Moreover, Qingyang Brigade is divided into Team One, Team Two, and so on, making a total of seven teams.

So even if the inspection team comes, it doesn't necessarily mean they'll come to their area.

But if they don't come, Qiao Qiqi can go to town!

Anyway, it's convenient for her to go to town, so as long as we find a way, we'll eventually see her!

Without hesitation, Qiao Qiqi ate breakfast early the next morning and left home even earlier than Qin Huai, immediately riding her bicycle to town.

After making inquiries, I was surprised to learn that someone in the inspection team was injured and was being treated at the town hospital.

Qiao Qiqi immediately rode her bike over and, sure enough, saw a jeep in the courtyard of the town hospital.

Since she transmigrated here, she hasn't seen a single car, not even when she went to the county.

Upon seeing the car here, Qiao Qiqi was immediately certain that the inspection team was inside.

She immediately locked her car and went into the hospital.

It was easy to spot a clinic with a group of people blocking the entrance in the corridor on the left side of the first floor.

Realizing that the leader must be inside, Qiao Qiqi grabbed an older woman and asked, "Who are these people in there? With so many people guarding this place, are they seriously injured?"

The older sister turned around, initially intending not to acknowledge her, but upon meeting Qiao Qiqi's large, watery eyes and seeing that she was a pretty girl, she immediately suppressed her displeasure and replied, "She's a bureau chief from Beijing. The injury isn't serious; she just tripped on the threshold this morning and broke her hand. The doctor is bandaging it up inside."

Qiao Qiqi: "..."

Seeing that it was just a broken hand, why make such a fuss? Qiao Qiqi clicked her tongue inwardly.

She found a spot where she could squeeze in, quickly made her way to the doorway, and peered inside.

Besides a doctor and a nurse in white coats, there were two middle-aged men in Zhongshan suits.

Besides, there was a woman who looked to be around 25 years old. She was wearing a yellow chiffon dress and shiny leather shoes. She stood up straight and had a very elegant demeanor.

No wonder he's from Beijing; his demeanor is so different from that of people from the countryside.

Perhaps it was because Qiao Qiqi's gaze was too direct, but the woman seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around to look in Qiao Qiqi's direction.

The woman was visibly taken aback when she met those big, watery eyes.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the back of the crowd, "Make way, everyone make way."

Someone turned around, saw that it was a doctor in a white coat coming in, and immediately made way for him.

Qiao Qiqi was also pushed back two steps by the crowd, and after the doctor went in, she suddenly realized that she could no longer squeeze in.

I just happened to need to pee.

Qiao Qiqi turned around and went to the restroom. As soon as she came out, she found that the woman from Beijing was standing outside.

Her eyes lit up, and seeing that the opportunity had come, she was about to step forward to say hello.

Unexpectedly, the woman looked at her first and spoke: "Are you also a villager here?"

Qiao Qiqi suppressed her doubts and nodded with a smile, "Yes!"

"What's your name?" the woman asked again.

“Qiao Qiqi”.

“Qiao Qiqi…” The woman thought for a moment, but couldn’t find any memory of the name, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Qiao Qiqi found the woman's expression strange and was about to ask her what she wanted when the woman suddenly looked at her again and asked, "Which brigade are you from?"
