Ningxia concealed her complicated emotions towards Mu Yuanqing and put away the washed clothes and prepared to go back.
"I remember her." Lin Yi suddenly spoke.
Ningxia recalled their unpleasant encounter. She reached out and touched Lin Yi's head. "What do you think?"
Lin Yi stammered a few times, recalling that painful and suffocating memory. He whispered, "I... I'm quite grateful to her... Back then... weren't you unwilling to take us on the journey?"
At this point, Lin Yi looked up and carefully glanced at Ning Xia's face. After finding that she didn't care, he continued, "This auntie gave you something in exchange to take us on the road. I am very grateful to her."
If Mu Yuanqing had not felt sorry for the brother and sister and had not taken an extra gun to exchange with Ningxia, Ningxia would never have been moved by compassion and taken them to Qingniaozhou. Sangsang's brain was not very good and he could not remember things, but Lin Yi remembered it clearly.
Ningxia smiled. She liked Lin Yi's personality. Even after going through so many bad things, he still kept the place in his heart "clean".
If Sangsang's innocence is a transparent and harmless crystal, then Lin Yi is a crystal clear luminous stone.
He accepted all the light that was projected towards him, good or bad, he absorbed it all and transformed it into his own light. To some extent, he was even more "simple" than Sangsang.
Even though Sangsang's grandfather was not well off, he treated him sincerely. So after his grandfather passed away, Sangsang could easily feel the "light" emanating from Lin Yi. Ningxia was also like this, as were Li Gang and his companions, Liu Jun from the trade team, and Hou Xiaopeng...
Lin Yi remembers all those who have been kind to him, and he is doing his best to repay them.
Although Lin Yi seldom mentioned it, Ningxia could still find out from his occasional words that Lin Yi's father must have devoted all his efforts to cultivating such a small tree in the few years that he was with him.
"And Uncle Chen Jin, Uncle Hou... I don't know how they are doing..." Suddenly seeing Mu Yuanqing, Lin Yi had some rare sentimental thoughts.
These people were the ones who had shown more or less kindness to him and Sangsang when they were rescued by Ningxia.
Ningxia smiled and said, "They are not bad people. They must be living a good life."
She thought for a moment and said, "When you have some free time at home, you can take Sangsang to visit Aunt Mu Yuanqing."
Lin Yi looked up, his eyes full of doubt, "Is it okay?" He clearly felt that Sister Xia Xia did not want to deal with Aunt Mu.
Ningxia nodded, "I think it should be okay." She just needed to keep an eye on him for a while. Besides, it was impossible not to move around so close, so just don't be too intimate.
Lin Yi smiled and lowered his head, that’s great.
Ningxia took the brother and sister home only after confirming that the last spark in the ground was extinguished.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet?" It was already dark, and Sangsang had already climbed onto the bed and was holding her. Big Dinosaur was already unconscious, while Lin Yi was still watching by the bed, looking very energetic.
Lin Yi shook his head, "I can't sleep, Sister Xia Xia, let me cut some cloth to make earmuffs."
Ningxia was about to nod when she seemed to remember something. "Didn't we exchange some rabbit fur for something? You can use it to make hats, earmuffs, or something like that. It's up to you to do it."
Lin Yi was a little worried, "It's so expensive... I'm afraid it will be a waste if I don't do it well..."
"What are you afraid of! Haven't you made a few pairs before? You did a great job! Just go for it." Ningxia's words were full of trust.
Lin Yi's heart was burning with anger after hearing Ning Xia's words. He couldn't wait to sit down and start sewing. He smiled and said, "Then I'll go. I won't waste any fur and do it well!"
Ningxia yawned. "Well, do whatever you want. But don't do it too late. My eyes can't bear it. Let's do it in the living room. Close the door for me."
When they returned, they exchanged a high-intensity solar flashlight and a portable mobile light bulb from the trading point.
The flashlight is okay, bright but not overly bright. But the light bulb in the bedroom is just as bright as daytime, and the key is that the light is not glaring.
Ningxia fell in love with it at first sight and bought it back without caring about the inflated price.
The three of them finally escaped the poverty of candlelight. That was why Ningxia had asked Lin Yi to go to the living room to do it. Otherwise, the bedroom would be as bright as day. It wasn't that he couldn't sleep, but it was still not as comfortable as sleeping in a dark environment.
Lin Yi naturally went to the living room with joy, turned on the light, and worked with his head down for a long time before returning to his room to sleep.
"Sister Xia Xia, why are you up so early?" Lin Yi slept late last night. When he got up in the morning, Ning Xia was already busy inside and outside the house.
"Get up as soon as you wake up. Your Uncle Li Gang and the others are coming over today, so I'll prepare the ingredients first. There's sweet porridge on the table. You and Sangsang can have some, and then you can take the medicine later."
Ningxia got up early and prepared the Chinese medicine for both of them. She didn't expect that the Chinese medicine Lin Yi gave her for free was much more bitter than the one Sangsang bought at a high price.
Sangsang's is okay. It has a strong medicinal smell, but it doesn't taste as stinky or unpleasant as patchouli when you drink it. The little girl should be able to accept it.
After finishing his porridge, Lin Yi lifted up the medicine bowl and gulped it down without changing his expression, which made Sang Sang too embarrassed to ask for some candy under the pretext of taking medicine.
After watching the brother and sister drink their medicine obediently, Ningxia continued to do her own thing.
After Xiao Chen sent the meat to the meat factory for processing and deducting various expenses, the remaining amount was less than 100 kilograms.
Half of it turned into bacon, but it cannot be eaten yet and needs to be kept for another two days.
The others were casually smeared with some preservative powder, but still looked fresh.
This preservative powder is extracted from plants after they have sprouted. It can ensure that fresh meat will not deteriorate for ten days at a temperature not exceeding 20 degrees. However, the extraction is not simple and it has not been launched on the market.
If the meat had not been sent to the official meat factory for storage this time, Ningxia would have had no idea of the existence of this thing.
"Sister Xia Xia, what are you going to do with all this meat?"
"Braised pork. Fresh meat turns to salty meat after just two meals. Hurry and make some."
Lin Yi had already forgotten what braised pork tasted like. When Ningxia mentioned it, although he couldn't remember the taste for a moment, his tongue seemed to understand what Ningxia said and he began to saliva.
When Li Gang and others appeared at the gate of the yard, Ningxia had just taken the spicy fish out of the pot.
These fish were caught by Lei Laohu and his friends in the lake yesterday specifically for Ningxia. They packed up more than ten of them and brought them to her.
Ningxia finally understood why her dried fish could be sold at a good price even though there was no water shortage in Bluebird State.
Because there are certain differences between fish and fish.
The fish in the lakes over there with Lei Laohu and his team were far inferior in quality and size to the fish in the valley pool Ningxia had originally discovered. Even this was still considered something that fetched a relatively high price in Bluebird State.
But they are edible, it's just a comparison. A few burly coalition soldiers are squatting in the yard with bowls in their hands, eating braised pork and fish with relish.
