After having fried dough sticks and soy milk for breakfast, Qin Mi drove off with Wen Xi in his car. "Liangliang, where do you plan to get the food?"
Wenxi actually wanted to go to the city, but the city was too far away. It would take ten hours to go there and back, and they would have to call someone to come and transport the grain. It would probably take most of the night to get there!
Wen Xi thought for a moment and said, "Keep driving forward, and stop after two hours. Wherever you stop the car, put the grain there!"
Two hours later, Qin Mi stopped the car.
Wenxi turned her head to look at the world outside the window. It was a desolate desert, uninhabited. But decades later, this place would surely be as bustling with high-rise buildings and traffic as it was in the 21st century.
To be honest, she really wanted to go to Lin Yiwan's original world, which is the 21st century, to take a look!
Wen Xi opened the car door, got out of the car, and then put some supplies on the back seat. "Qin Mi, rest for a while, then drive back to find Uncle Wang and tell him that the supplies I donated have arrived. Ask Uncle Wang to arrange for someone to come and pick up the grain. There are several thousand kilograms of grain. With your car, who knows how long it will take to transport it!"
"Liangliang, I'm worried about leaving you here alone." Qin Mi looked around and said anxiously.
Wen Xi smiled and said, "What's there to worry about? Don't forget who I am."
Qin Mi sighed and didn't say anything more. After a long while, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he said, "Liangliang, when you go back, you must tell me. Don't go back suddenly and I won't be able to find you, and we won't even have a chance to say goodbye."
Wen Xi waved her hand, "I know, you go back and call people to come and transport the grain. Drive carefully and be safe."
Watching the car drive away, Wen Xi found a place and released the supplies she had decided to donate to Qin Mi's workplace: coarse grains, vegetables, fruits, and spring water.
It would take Qin Mi two hours to get back, and another two hours to bring people over. It would take more than four hours for him to return. Wen Xi didn't foolishly wait outside; instead, she went to the system kitchen to start preparing delicious food.
She wasn't from here and didn't know when she would have to leave, so she wanted to leave something for Qin Mi to ensure his livelihood for the next year or two.
Regardless of whether he was her neighbor Brother Qin or not, what could she do when his name was Qin Mi?
Because of his name, he was family to her.
Everyone else chooses to work in the city, but he was willing to come to work in such a harsh, desolate place. He's a hero.
Wenxi packed twenty catties of each of the following for Qin Mi: dried mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, dried potato slices, dried sweet potato slices, and the dried vegetables she had dried herself in the summer.
Ten catties each of beef jerky, pork jerky, candied winter melon, and kiwi slices.
They also quickly used machines to make air-dried chicken, air-dried duck, and air-dried rabbit. Wenxi chopped them into small pieces and packaged them.
Four bottles of beef and mushroom sauce, four bottles of jam for making tea, fifty preserved eggs, fifty salted duck eggs, and two bottles each of canned yellow peaches, canned pears, and canned oranges.
Fearing it would expire, Wenxi didn't dare prepare too much.
Thinking about how many ginsengs she had exchanged, Wenxi put another fifty-year-old ginseng in there, hoping it would help Qin Mi after she left.
Wenxi organized the items and put them together in the system warehouse. She didn't know how long they would stay there. She would add more items later. The conditions here were harsh and there wasn't much food. Qin Mi had been traveling around and got hungry quickly, so she needed to prepare some snacks that could be stored for a long time and carried around.
This way, when Qin Mi gets hungry outside, he can take it out to eat anytime, anywhere to replenish his energy.
Wen Xi cooked several large pots of meat and vegetables in the system kitchen, then came out, found a place to sit down, and waited for Qin Mi's arrival.
After waiting for several hours, Wenxi was yawning incessantly when the car finally came into view. Knowing that Qin Mi had arrived, Wenxi stepped out from behind the supplies.
Soon, the car arrived and stopped in front of Wenxi. Uncle Wang and another uncle got out of the car and couldn't help but laugh when they saw the mountain of daily necessities.
They didn't press the people who helped deliver the supplies for why they placed them so far away, since it was already quite an achievement for them to bring the supplies over to Liangliang.
Besides, they're not the kind of people who expect to be waited on hand and foot. They've already received supplies, and they don't expect them to just hand them the supplies directly to them.
"Comrade Liangliang, thank you for your contributions to everyone. You are an outstanding young man," Uncle Wang praised.
Wen Xi smiled shyly, "This is just a small token of my appreciation, Uncle Wang, you don't need to take it too seriously. Compared to everyone else, I still have a lot to learn!"
When the people pushing the carts arrived, Uncle Wang instructed everyone to start moving the supplies. Qin Mi took Wen Xi back first. Qin Mi had spent almost the entire day driving around, driving for about eight or nine hours in total, so Uncle Wang didn't keep him here. He left the rest to the others.
When Qin Mi and Wen Xi arrived home, it was already past 1 p.m. At this time, there was no way the cafeteria would have food, so Wen Xi served braised chicken legs, spicy and sour chicken giblets, stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar, and seaweed and shrimp soup.
And a bowl of white steamed buns.
It's already May, and after a meal, I'm sweating buckets and my whole body feels warm.
Qin Mi had just opened the dormitory door, intending to take the dishes out to wash them, when she heard the children outside shouting, "Mom, I smell chicken legs! I want a big chicken leg, Mom..."
Wen Xi quickly cleared the plates off the table, leaving only one plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes, but now there wasn't a single shredded potato left; Qin Mi had eaten it all.
"Officer Qin, do you have any chicken drumsticks left? Could you give one to the child?" the middle-aged woman asked Qin Mi, who was standing by the door.
"That's all, we've finished eating," Qin Mi said directly.
The person had a big face; there were only two chicken legs in total, yet they still ordered only one.
The woman couldn't help but complain, "What kind of person is this? A grown man fighting with a child for a chicken leg..."
"Who are we? Who do you think we are? I brought these things from home myself, why should I give them to outsiders?" Qin Mi will still be working here in the future, so she can't afford to offend everyone. But Wen Xi is different. Anyway, she will return to her own world, so it doesn't matter if others dislike or hate her.
"I managed to get some chicken and duck for the cafeteria a few days ago. But what about you? Have you ever gotten anything for the cafeteria? If we're talking about being stingy, we're not as generous as you. You wouldn't even give your own child a chicken leg. It seems you don't really love your child; you just want him to take care of you in your old age!"
Wen Xi pulled Qin Mi inside, then slammed the dormitory door shut.
