It has been a long time since Li Aihua last mentioned Cao Zhaodi to her, and she doesn't know what the situation is now.
When they got home, Li Aihua was cooking in the kitchen and Zhou Huaijing was lighting a fire in front of the stove.
When Hu Lin saw her, he didn't ask about Li Aihua, but asked about another thing.
"Someone sent me something last year. Where did you put it?"
She didn't want Zhou Huaijing to know about the things happening in the Hu family; telling it would make her a laughing stock.
"The letter you mentioned is from Peng Hao. It's in the cabinet in my room. Go get it."
Li Aihua waved the spatula and stir-fried shredded radish and black fungus.
"Where is the thing Uncle Yuan sent me?" Could it have been cooked and eaten by Li Aihua?
"You mean the grains? I put them in the warehouse.
When I touched the package, I felt something was wrong, and seeing that it was sent by a stranger, I opened it.
Seeing that it was about ten pounds of millet, I put it in the warehouse.
I am still waiting to take the grain to the village for threshing during the autumn harvest this year.
Is Uncle Yuan also your friend?"
Speaking of this, Li Aihua began to ask.
"Yes, an elder."
Hu Lin did not explain, but said,
“Through those grains separately and don’t mix them with the grains at home.
And leave me a pound of millet so I can keep it.
Every summer, help me take it out and dry it in the sun to prevent it from getting damp.
By the way, where is the key to the warehouse? I’ll go check it out.”
Those grains of millet are of extraordinary significance and great collection value.
The first batch of successful indica rice is a consumable product that will be sold out soon.
When Li Aihua and Zhou Huaijing heard that Hu Lin wanted to collect millet, they looked at her in surprise.
But neither of them said much.
"I left the key on the windowsill of the warehouse." Li Aihua replied.
After hearing this, Hu Lin went to the warehouse next door, took the key, opened the door and checked the grain sent by Uncle Yuan.
She hadn't had time to check the house carefully since she came back, otherwise she wouldn't have forgotten where the warehouse key was.
The millet sent by Uncle Yuan was intact and looked nothing special.
Hu Lin grabbed two handfuls, looked at the yellowish brown millet, and put them back.
When he stood up, Hu Lin looked up at the dried game hanging on the eaves and was a little surprised.
In the past, when she was at home, she prepared a lot of game, so it would not be finished until April every year.
I didn’t expect that last year I asked Yang Qing for help and prepared so much for the family.
She locked the door and went out, returning to the kitchen.
"How much game did Yang Qing prepare for the family last year? I see there are still about ten in the warehouse."
She scooped water to wash her hands and prepared to help serve the dishes out.
"I didn't notice that. Huai Jing has been here these past two days, and we've been eating fresh game at home every day, but we haven't touched the pickled ones."
Li Aihua looked at Zhou Huaijing with a smile, her eyes full of joy.
"There's nothing I can do to help at home, so I can only go into the mountains to hunt to kill some time."
Zhou Huaijing did not take any credit.
“You are being too modest.
After you came, weren't you the one who chopped all the firewood in the house?
It gives your dad and her dad a lot of free time."
Li Aihua did not agree with his modesty.
"These are what we young people should do." Zhou Huaijing was extremely humble.
Hu Lin looked at it and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
If she hadn't seen his other side, she would have believed that he was such an upright and good man.
The character developed since childhood cannot be completely erased; it is just hidden deeper, waiting to burst out at a certain point.
Hu Lin did not join in their polite conversation and went to the living room with the dishes.
Those who had to work on time came back to eat, and after dinner they sat in the living room and chatted for a while, then went back to their rooms for a nap.
After everyone went back to their rooms to sleep, Zhou Huaijing sat next to Hu Lin.
In response, Hu Lin glanced at him.
The two sat under the eaves, looking at the sky in the patio.
Zhou Huaijing is a smart man, but different from Hu Jun's intelligence, Zhou Huaijing's intelligence is full of aggressiveness.
When she was around him, she would always unconsciously be on guard.
Even when speaking, the brain has to work quickly.
I was afraid that if I wasn't careful with what I said, I would fall into the trap set by the other party.
After a long time, Zhou Huaijing didn't say anything, so Hu Lin gradually relaxed and enjoyed the pleasant afternoon.
Before she could enjoy it for long, Zhou Huaijing next to her suddenly spoke.
"Driving a sports car must be tiring." Zhou Huaijing's voice was calm, like a greeting from an old friend, making people unconsciously want to relax.
"It's okay." She didn't want to show weakness in front of Zhou Huaijing.
"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Zhou Huaijing asked with a slight smile on his face.
"It depends on the situation." She now has more than 10,000 yuan on her, and the money from Uncle Yuan is safe.
She wanted to take a break for a while before going back out to earn money from Li Wen.
In the end, after two years of hard work, she didn't save a penny.
"How long will you stay this time?"
"About ten days."
"It seems you are in a hurry."
Hu Lin said something ambiguous, but Zhou Huaijing didn't respond.
Instead, he said something off topic, "During the past few days I've been here, I noticed that your father would take things out of the warehouse every night."
Hu Lin: "..."
In this secret confrontation, Hu Lin was completely defeated.
"Thanks for the reminder."
After finishing his conversation, Hu Lin got up and went back to his house for a nap.
When she woke up, Zhou Huaijing had already gone out and no one knew where he went.
Everyone in the family who was working had also left. At this time, only two siblings were left at home. They were mixing rice bran to feed the chickens and ducks.
