"Brother Qin, there are lotus roots under the lotus leaves. Could you help me peel up a few more sections of lotus root? That way we can make stir-fried lotus root, spicy lotus root, and braised lotus root with pig's trotters." Wen Xi said like a little foodie.
Qin Mi put the item down and turned to go into the water, while Wen Xi continued to catch fish with a net on the side, because the effect of that thing could last for an hour!
More than an hour later, the two returned with a bountiful harvest.
Qin Mi went to the well to fetch water and wash off the mud from his legs and feet, while Wen Xi used the clean water to keep the fish and shrimp he had caught alive so they could eat them the next night.
After packing their things, the two took turns showering and then went back to their room to rest.
The next morning, Wen Xi stretched lazily on the bed, got out of bed, locked the door, and slipped into the system kitchen to take a shower and change clothes. The summer nights were too hot, and her clothes smelled of sweat. If she didn't clean up, she would probably smell rotten by daytime.
Wen Xi tidied herself up, petted the two soft cats for a while, then came out of the system kitchen and went to the outside kitchen. She brought out three cups of hot soy milk and three servings of mushroom and pork dumplings. She changed the containers for the soy milk and dumplings, and now she just had to wait for Chen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to get up.
Wenxi went to the yard and, taking advantage of the cooler weather, carried a basket to the vegetable garden and picked some fresh vegetables. The midday sun was too strong, and it was very hot even while picking vegetables.
When it was cool in the morning, everyone was picking watermelons in the watermelon field. Lin Yiwan walked up to Wen Xi and said, "Xiao Xi, my older brother and sister-in-law's house is finished and they'll be moving in soon. Come over for the housewarming party tomorrow!"
"Okay!" Wen Xi readily agreed.
Yang Liling had promised to treat Liu Zhigang to big meat buns. Half a month later, feeling that Liu Zhigang should have returned from out of town, Yang Liling went to the county town. She had money but no meat coupons, so she secretly slipped two yuan to the person in charge of taking orders, and they sold her five big meat buns.
After buying the big meat buns, Yang Liling ate one. It was so delicious! No wonder everyone loves big meat buns. She wanted to eat big meat buns every day.
Yang Liling took the remaining four large meat buns to the transport team to find Liu Zhigang. She asked someone to call Liu Zhigang for her. Liu Zhigang came out quickly. He was wearing a white vest, and his strong arms were exposed. He looked very powerful, which made Yang Liling a little thirsty.
"Comrade Liu Zhigang, you're really back? Didn't I say I'd treat you to big meat buns last time? I bought some today, but I didn't have any meat coupons, so I only bought four." Yang Liling handed the meat buns to Liu Zhigang with a beaming smile.
The sunlight was dazzling, and Liu Zhigang felt that Yang Liling's smile was also a bit dazzling. He reached out and took the meat bun from her. "The sun is too strong now. Come inside. I'll take you back in a bit."
"Thank you then." Only through give and take can one have the opportunity to make him their cash cow!
As Yang Liling passed Gu Ningzhi's room, a cold smile crept onto her lips. "Hmph, him? He thinks he can marry me? She can find herself a cash cow in no time. Why should she lock herself into one person?"
Upon arriving at Liu Zhigang's dormitory, Liu Zhigang poured Yang Liling a glass of water. While drinking the water, Yang Liling asked curiously, "Brother Liu Zhigang, do you have a girlfriend?"
Liu Zhigang smiled and shook his head. "No."
Yang Liling smiled. She didn't care whether she had a boyfriend or not, because she didn't want people, she only wanted money. People with boyfriends are easier to dump, while people without boyfriends might be fixated on you and you'd have to use your brain to get rid of them.
"Brother Liu Zhigang, I don't have a girlfriend either. What do you think of me? If you think I'm good, we can give it a try." Anyway, it's just a try, not a romantic relationship, so there's no responsibility involved.
"Really?" Liu Zhigang was so excited that he didn't know what to do. Such a beautiful girl was actually willing to give it a try with a rough guy like him?
Yang Liling leaned close to Liu Zhigang and said in a seductive tone, "What? Brother Liu Zhigang, do you look down on me?" She was very close, and her hot breath hit Liu Zhigang, making his heart tremble.
"No, it's just that I feel I'm not good enough for you," Liu Zhigang said, embarrassed.
"How could that be? I think Brother Zhigang is a great guy. I'm willing to give it a try with Brother Zhigang, as long as you treat me well, protect me, and are generous to me." Yang Liling reached out and wrapped her arms around Liu Zhigang's waist, her big, bright eyes sparkling as she looked at him.
Liu Zhigang's heart melted at Yang Liling's gaze, and he quickly reached out to hug her back. Yang Liling gave a coquettish cry and patted Liu Zhigang's chest, saying, "Brother Zhigang, you bumped my face and it hurts..."
After Gu Ningzhi rented the house, he and Feng Xintong moved out to live elsewhere. Yang Liling could no longer expect to run into Gu Ningzhi. Feng Xintong entered the furniture factory and began working normally.
Gu Ningzhi continued with his job as usual. The job paid well, so Gu Ningzhi naturally wouldn't give it up. As a result, he didn't have as many opportunities to meet with Feng Xintong.
Because he occasionally had to travel to other places for business, but every time he came back he would bring Feng Xintong fruits and gifts from other places, which made Feng Xintong feel that she had married the right person.
When it got cool in the evening, Liu Zhigang took Yang Liling home. Yang Liling didn't let Liu Zhigang take her to the village, but got out of the car outside the village.
After all, she was just getting along really well with Gu Ningzhi, and now she's getting along really well with someone else. If other people see this, who knows what they'll say about her!
Moreover, she had no intention of bringing her relationship with Liu Zhigang into the public eye.
Yang Liling waved to Liu Zhigang and then ran away. Liu Zhigang watched Yang Liling's playful figure and couldn't help but laugh.
On the day of the housewarming party, Lin Yihui's family had three tables: one for the Lin family, one for Cao Jianyu's family, and another for Wen Xi, Tian Shengnan, and their family.
Cao Jianyu's family came over for a housewarming dinner today without telling her cousin's family. They told everyone they were going to the hospital for a medical appointment, but then they went to Lin Yihui's house instead.
Everyone knew about Lin Yihui and Zhu Ying's affair. Naturally, Cao Jianyu's mother was afraid that Lin Yihui would be preoccupied with Zhu Ying and neglect her daughter. So she pulled Cao Jianyu aside and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoyu, is Lin Yihui affectionate towards you?"
Cao Jianyu's cheeks flushed. "Enthusiastic."
Actually, she is very enthusiastic. Lin Yihui is completely different during the day and at night, and only she can see her nighttime self.
Cao's mother patted Cao Jianyu's hand, "That's good. If you can get pregnant during his vacation, your position will be secure. It's not easy to find a good family like the Lin family."
