"Comrade Zhu, we're here to bring you something. This is the soup I made myself. I'll give you a bowl to try."
Ningxia saw his overly bright smile and thought this man was weird.
"You're not here... Oh, so you're here to deliver food. Food, what to deliver..." The youngest son of the Zhu family's eyes lit up when he saw what was in Ningxia's hand.
"How can I feel embarrassed about this?" The youngest son of the Zhu family said this, then he took it and rushed into the house.
"Wife, wife, this is delicious. It was sent from the restaurant next door."
"What? Is it real? Let me see, what is this? It smells so good..."
Ren Jingxiao and Ningxia looked at each other. Why was he ignoring them?
By the time the youngest son of the Zhu family realized that there was someone outside the door, the whole family had almost finished the bowl of soup.
"It's over, I'll take the person..." As soon as the youngest son of the Zhu family finished speaking, he rushed to the door with an empty bowl in his hand.
"Comrade Ren, I'm... so sorry, I forgot you were still at the door." The youngest son of the Zhu family felt embarrassed. They seemed to have eaten a little too fast.
"It's okay, we just came to thank your family today...um, for helping us fix the door." Ningxia didn't know what to say. She couldn't say that it was because of helping her that she made this mistake, right?
When the youngest son of the Zhu family heard this, he felt even more embarrassed and kept scratching his head.
"These are just ordinary meals at my house. I'm pregnant, and my husband's department has good benefits, so he occasionally gets a few extra meat tickets."
"My man loves me, so he stewed meat for a few more days this month than other people. It's no different, just like a normal meal."
Ningxia’s main purpose was to explain this, otherwise it would be bad if her family got curious and climbed over her wall again in the future.
The youngest son of the Zhu family nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, how is this the same? It is very different.
It was so much better than the food at his house. He just took a sip of the bowl of broth and couldn't get it from them at all.
After returning from the Zhu family, Ren Jingxiao went to the Jiang family in front alone. The Jiang family was very surprised by Ren Jingxiao's arrival, and felt embarrassed when they heard the purpose of his visit.
"Comrade Ren, you are too polite. I didn't help much today. We are unworthy of your thanks." Aunt Jiang didn't expect that he would send her something to thank her.
She said that out of selfish motives. She knew their family was special and she didn't want to offend anyone, so she said that. Ren Jingxiao's behavior made her feel bad.
"Aunt Jiang, when I first moved here, your family helped us many times. I was very grateful at the time and always wanted to come and visit you."
"But I've been working since I moved here, and haven't had time. I'm taking this opportunity to say thank you. You can't refuse me!"
Ren Jingxiao looked at Aunt Jiang. He knew that their family had been here for a long time. Ma Desheng's family next door even asked her to help when they had a baby. She seemed reliable.
He might as well consider it. No matter what, he can't offend anyone now.
Aunt Jiang smiled happily when she heard what he said. Comrade Ren is really good at talking.
Finally, Aunt Jiang took the bowl of soup. Looking at the bright soup, the meat and pig's trotters in it were really fragrant.
She has been cooking for her entire life, but her cooking skills are far inferior to others.
She had roasted pig's trotters before, but not only did they have a fishy smell but they were also hard to chew, so no one in the family liked to eat them. But this one looked very different.
After sending Aunt Jiang home, Ren Jingxiao went back. Many people in the alley saw them delivering things like this.
They thought that they had already sent gifts to the Zhu family that had caused the trouble, and also to the Jiang family, so would it be their turn next?
Everyone else was waiting at home, but they waited and waited until it was completely dark and no one from the Ren family came out. Only then did they realize that their family no longer existed.
They couldn't help but regret that they should have sided with their family like the Jiang family did. Then they would definitely have a share of the delicious food this time.
Not only the Zhu family was greedy, they were also greedy. Every time they smelled the fragrance coming from that family's house, they would drool.
"Xia Xia, I plan to go to Dahei Mountain tonight to collect and prepare those medicinal herbs. After we have a couple of days off, I will go hunting with Lu Hai and others." Ren Jingxiao discussed with Ningxia.
"Prepare medicinal materials? Then I'll go with you? You can put them in my space." Ningxia thought that they could transport them back and Ren Jingxiao could prepare them at home, so they wouldn't have to run back and forth.
"Don't worry, I'll take Dapao with me, and we'll bring the herbs back together. Then we'll prepare them at home. They're very light, and Dapao and I can carry them back."
Ren Jingxiao chose to go at night because he was worried that Dapao running around on the streets during the day would definitely scare people.
Besides, he has to work during the day, so the night is just right.
When Ningxia heard that he had no plans to stay overnight there, she stopped clamoring to follow him as she had originally planned to bring the things back.
"Then why don't you take the other tigers with you? Aren't you going hunting in a few days? They'll be a great help to you."
Taking her with her would only waste time. She thought that the medicinal herbs were indeed not heavy, so she wanted to take this opportunity to bring all the tigers to Dahei Mountain.
Ren Jingxiao can feel more at ease with their help when she goes hunting.
Ren Jingxiao nodded in agreement. When it was completely dark and the neighbors were all asleep, he set off with the tiger pack.
Dapao hadn't gone out with Ren Jingxiao for a long time. This time he was released and rushed out. Ren Jingxiao almost couldn't catch up with him.
Fortunately, there was no one on the road, otherwise people would be scared to death seeing a group of tigers running.
Ren Jingxiao was afraid of accidents, so he took them along the mountain road as soon as they left the county.
When they arrived at the Dahei Mountain, the "wow" sound of the cannon could be heard far away in the mountain, scaring all the animals in the mountain.
"Okay, Dapao, let's get down to business." Ren Jingxiao looked at the whole journey and saw Dapao being as cocky as he could be.
At first he wanted to stop it, but then he didn't want to care anymore and just let it go. The other tigers dispersed and returned to their familiar places, each one feeling very comfortable.
Ren Jingxiao and Dapao went to the hot spring together. He took the tools and started digging with Dapao. When they were digging, they suddenly felt something was wrong, as if there was something behind them.
"I'll beat you to death, you thief." Before Ren Jingxiao could react, he was hit on the back. Liuzi and several others rushed up and wanted to attack him.
"It's me." Ren Jingxiao took the stick from Liuzi's hand, then took a step back and looked at them.
Liuzi and his companions were stunned. It took them a while to recover. They had just hit anyone.
"I'm sorry, Brother Ren, we...we didn't mean it." Liuzi and the others could only apologize repeatedly.
They treated this patch of medicinal herbs as their life, and every night different people came to patrol it.
