Chapter 42
Seeing the surprised and admiring eyes of Ling Yi and the others, He Qin's face turned black with anger. He was worried that Lu Xiaobai would go home first and find that they were not there, so he took a detour and ran back with them with a cold expression.
They had just arrived home, and the reason they were sitting in the yard was because they had not had time to go into the house.
"Have a meal?"
Although He Qin was furious, he also knew that he had gone too far today and had made everyone so angry that they had to go to someone else's house for dinner.
And looking at Lu Xiaobai's expression, it seemed that he didn't intend to be angry with him anymore. However, he still sneered and asked, "Have you finished eating?"
"No."
He Qin's face looked bad and he seemed to be angry.
Lu Xiaobai shook his head and said honestly, "Other people's food is not delicious."
Then he brought the basket in front of He Qin and said, "But, but, they gave me other food."
After saying this, he looked at He Qin with a guilty look.
Lu Xiaobai was a little afraid that He Qin would hear what Aunt Lu said today. After all, nothing had happened between them. Would He Qin think that he was cheating?
She had an affair with another man, so she got a child?
In ancient times, people who committed adultery would be thrown into a pig cage, right?
However, He Qin did not go out today, and their home is far away, so He Qin should not know.
As for the future, wait a while until He Qin's mood gets better, then he can explain it first.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaobai bent down and grabbed He Qin's hand, and asked obediently: "He Qin, have we eaten yet? Otherwise, how about we eat first? After dinner, I have something to tell you."
Looking at Lu Xiaobai's actions, Ling Er secretly admired: Master Xiaobai is a warrior!
But he was also very happy because after a busy day, he was finally going to have a meal.
Seeing that He Qin didn't move, Lu Xiaobai felt more and more unhappy. He had obviously endured the grievances and actively tried to please He Qin, so why did He Qin still ignore him?
Gradually, Lu Xiaobai pouted: "Husband~ I'm hungry..."
He was really hungry. He didn't eat much in one meal to begin with, and he had been running all morning. He even vomited everything when he got to Lufeng's house. Now there was nothing in his stomach.
Hearing Lu Xiaobai calling her husband, He Qin's expression improved a lot and he nodded slightly: "It's just been prepared, let's go and eat."
Let’s see if this silly guy will run to other people’s homes in the future. The food in the entire Lujia Village is not as good as the food in He Qin’s house. If he leaves this house, he will starve to death!
After saying this, He Qin stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
The others breathed a sigh of relief, stood up stiffly and followed.
When He Qin stood up, Lu Xiaobai let go of him and turned to ask Lingyi: "Brother Lingyi, have you finished picking the tung oil fruits?"
Lingyi shook his head: "No, I still have to go after dinner, but I did make a mistake today. If it weren't for big brother, the village chief would have died because of my mistake, so it's right to teach me a lesson. Don't be angry with big brother."
"I, I... okay..."
Lu Xiaobai pouted and nodded.
He was indeed angry with He Qin, but it was not just about Lingyi.
Just take today for example, how many times has He Qin bullied him?
When he woke up in the morning, he told me he had wet his pants. He almost forbade him from going out to play, letting the bad geese bite him. Later, he even beat him...
How could he not be angry?
However, he didn't know that the mistake made by Brother Zero One today was so serious?
The village chief almost died?
Lu Xiaobai's face turned a little ugly. He thought for a moment and said, "Then you should be more careful in the future. We only have one life in this life, so we should cherish it. If you accidentally cause the village chief to lose his life, you won't feel good about it either."
After hearing what Lu Xiaobai said, Lingyi was stunned on the spot.
Lu Xiaobai felt that Lingyi was sad, and patted his shoulder encouragingly and said, "But the village chief is fine now. Just give him some more tung oil today to apologize. Don't blame yourself. Go and eat."
How can you have the energy to push the stone pillars and extract tung oil if you don’t eat?
Besides, he was very hungry.
After saying that, Lu Xiaobai happily walked into the house, sat down next to He Qin and prepared to eat.
Ling walked slowly towards the kitchen, looking at his hands and laughing as he walked.
Will you feel guilty and uncomfortable if you accidentally kill someone?
He thought that this kind of mood would never appear in him.
After all, his hands were stained with blood and he had lost countless lives...
Lu Xiaobai held his bowl and asked curiously, "Didn't you say it was just made? Why is it cold?"
He Qin: "Eat quickly."
"Oh, okay."
But looking at his white rice, Lu Xiaobai felt that even if it was cold, it was still a hundred times more delicious than the rice at Lu Feng's home.
Lu Xiaobai picked up a piece of lean meat fried with seasonings and was so moved that tears almost flowed down his face. No, there were too few seasonings in this place and few families had them.
While eating, he called Xiaobaicai in his mind.
"Xiao Baicai, do you have any seasoning seeds? Onion, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns?"
Upon hearing the call from its normally ignoring host, Little White Cabbage immediately jumped out and excitedly replied, "Yes, ginger and garlic have seeds that can be planted directly or cooked directly. Besides seeds, green onions also have scallion vines that can be grown in the field or eaten directly. Therefore, these three items are more expensive than other seeds. As for chili peppers, they can only be planted next year, and the seeds are inedible, so they can be purchased next year. Sichuan peppercorns are plentiful locally, so there's no need to buy them."
Lu Xiaobai nodded: "Then I'll go find you to secretly buy some onions, ginger and garlic after dinner."
Xiao Baicai, who is often ignored and has no place to use the cheat code system, said: [Okay.]
Lu Xiaobai thought that this time he should find a place to hide the purchase so as to avoid being seen by He Qin again.
Lu Xiaobai came back to his senses after thinking it over, and accidentally saw Ling Er frowning and looking unhappy. Only then did he realize that the rice in Ling Er's bowl was different from everyone else's.
It was not cooked rice, nor was it brown rice, but the kind of tiny rice you see in homes in Lufeng.
He asked curiously, "Why do you eat differently from us? What is this?"
Lu Xiaobai was like the son of a high-ranking official who had never been to the countryside. He often didn't recognize various things and asked all kinds of surprising questions, but they were already used to it.
He Qin didn't say anything. Only Lingyi explained softly, "It's corn. Linger made a mistake and has to eat corn for half a month."
Zero Two: ...
What does it mean to make a mistake?
It's just that I accidentally heard my master acting like a hooligan.
Is this considered a mistake?
Ling Er said that he felt wronged, but his master couldn't see it.
"So this is corn."
Lu Xiaobai nodded, turned around and asked He Qin curiously: "What mistake did Ling Er make again?"
Zero One almost killed someone by mistake and didn't need to eat corn, but Zero Two had to eat corn for half a month. He must have made a serious mistake, right?
But what other sins are more serious than murder?
At this moment, no one at the table spoke. Zero One did not answer, and Zero Two did not dare to speak.
He Qin's expression, which had finally improved, turned ugly again. He opened his mouth and said, "One month."
He Qin's nonsensical words left Lu Xiaobai a little confused: "What?"
Zero Two:!!!
It's over. He'll have to eat this disgusting corn for a month...
Seeing Lu Xiaobai's eager face, He Qin sneered, "Don't you have something else to tell me? Hurry up and eat. You can talk later after you finish eating."
He wanted to see how Lu Xiaobai would explain this to him.
Thinking of that incident, Lu Xiaobai immediately lowered his head and ate his meal guiltily.
The meal didn't last long. Although Lu Xiaobai tried to drag it out, it was finally over.
So, Lu Xiaobai reluctantly returned to the room, looking at He Qin sitting at the table and drinking tea after dinner, thinking about how to explain.
Is the pregnancy fake?
But He Qin didn’t know the news yet, so how should he start?
The moment Lu Xiaobai hesitated, He Qin put down the teacup, smiled meaningfully, and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Houses in the countryside in ancient times were relatively dark because they did not have modern glass windows or the large carved windows of the wealthy homes in town.
Therefore, along with the dim light, He Qin's smile became particularly weird in Lu Xiaobai's eyes.
At that moment, he didn't dare to tell anyone about the pregnancy.
He stood there, not daring to move. He was stunned for a long time before he remembered that He Qin was very happy last time he took out the seeds.
So, if he buys some onions, ginger and garlic this time, will He Qin let him go?
Lu Xiaobai was so scared that he swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Wait a minute, I'll go get something."
Lu Xiaobai walked to the corner where he placed the grapefruit with a guilty conscience, squatted on the ground and started buying onions, ginger and garlic from Xiaobaicai.
The prices of these three items are indeed much more expensive, as it actually costs sixty planting coins per kilogram, while rice seeds only cost thirty-one kilograms, which is half as much more expensive.
But anyway, he has a lot of planting coins, so he doesn't mind buying a few kilograms.
He thought about it and bought a pound of one.
But when the actual product came out, I found that one pound of these things was too little, just a few yuan.
But it’s better to have fewer people. He can say that he hid here in advance and did not appear out of thin air.
Lu Xiaobai nodded, then walked over with onions, ginger, and garlic in his arms and placed them on the table in front of He Qin, saying, "Well, I found this, but I can't seem to plant it recently. Let's cook it."
He Qin thought that what Lu Xiaobai was talking about was about pregnancy, but when he looked at the seasonings on the table, his eyes were full of confusion.
He basically knows where everything is in the house and what is placed there.
In the corner where Lu Xiaobai was squatting just now, there was nothing else except the two remaining grapefruits.
So, how did Lu Xiaobai get those things out?
He Qin suddenly became interested and wanted to find out what was going on. As for the pregnancy, he would deal with him tonight!
"Oh, where did it come from?"
"Uh-huh,……"
Lu Xiaobai: ...
What to do? Xiao Baicai said he couldn't tell anyone. Besides, if he wanted to go home, he had to take out a lot of seeds for everyone to plant.
But if he just took it out of thin air, he would always be looked at strangely. The kind-hearted people who appreciated his kindness would regard him as a savior, while those who were jealous of him would definitely find a way to deal with him and kill him as a monster.
So, he has to find someone to cooperate with.
He Qin happens to be a businessman. How about cooperating with He Qin?
As for the origin of the seeds, the worst that could happen is that I just cheat and don't tell him.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaobai gritted his teeth and slammed the table, saying fiercely, "Don't worry about where it comes from. Anyway, I can get a lot of these high-yield seeds. Just help me sell them. You can set the price and divide the money as you like. As long as you don't arrest me as a monster, that's all."
