"I've turned around. We'll be colleagues from now on. Please take care of me." Qin Ming smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one and put it to his lips, "I've been holding it in for a long time, so I'll smoke one. Do you mind?"
Lin Xiaoxi shook her head: "I don't mind, please do as you please."
"By the way." Qin Ming took out two pieces of chocolate from his pocket and threw them to Lin Xiaoxi, "Try them. My family sent them to me."
Lin Xiaoxi took it with surprise, peeled off a piece, and stuffed it into her mouth: "It's so delicious! Qin Ming, what do your family do? How can they get something as rare as chocolate?"
Qin Ming blew out a puff of smoke from his mouth: "Nothing. My father is the director of the meat processing factory, and my father is the workshop manager of the food factory. My eldest sister is a salesperson in a department store, and my youngest sister is a bus ticket seller."
Lin Xiaoxi was shocked to hear that Qin Ming's family was working.
This family all has a stable job!
Lin Xiaoxi suppressed her shock and continued to ask in a roundabout way: "You are the only boy in your family! How could your parents bear to let you go to the countryside?"
Logically speaking, boys in such families are all treasures. For example, in the Li family, Grandma Xu wants a grandson so much that she will treat whoever can give birth to a grandson as the eldest lady in the family.
Qin Ming is the only child of the Qin family. No one knows how Qin's father and mother could bear to let their son suffer in such a place.
"If I don't come, then either my elder sister or my younger sister will come. How can two girls endure such hardship? It has to be me!"
"It seems that your parents don't favor boys over girls at all."
Qin Ming smiled and did not answer Lin Xiaoxi's question.
Lin Xiaoxi continued to ask: "You don't know when you can return to the city after going to the countryside. If you never go back, do you want to stay here forever?"
"Well, what's wrong with that?"
Lin Xiaoxi didn't believe that someone like Qin Ming would be willing to stay in this village for the rest of his life, working hard every day. No one could stand that, right?
"Of course not. How can this place compare to the city? What a pity. I am afraid that my wish to go to the city will be a long way off."
Qin Ming glanced at her and said, "Aren't you married here? Why? Are you still thinking of moving on? I've heard from you. Your man is quite handsome and can read. Apart from being a villager, he is a good match for you in other aspects."
When talking about Li Chuan, Lin Xiaoxi snorted coldly: "That's it."
Qin Ming heard other meanings from these words, smiled and nodded, but did not continue asking. After all, who doesn't have privacy?
He did not pry into other people's private habits.
Lin Xiaoxi finished a piece of chocolate and stuffed another one into her mouth. She moved closer to Qin Ming and jumped lightly to sit on the table, with her legs dangling in the air: "Hey, Qin Ming, you gave me this rare chocolate, how can I thank you?"
Qin Ming glanced at Lin Xiaoxi's face and asked with a smile, "How do you want to thank me?"
"You tell me!"
"However I told you to thank me, you're going to thank me?"
"Yeah." Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
Qin Ming raised his head and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "What if I ask you to sleep with me? Are you willing?"
This was so blunt that it scared Lin Xiaoxi.
To the point that she didn't know how to respond.
Seeing her stunned, Qin Ming burst out laughing: "Hey, I was just teasing you! Have you finished eating? After you finish eating, go to work. The class will start tomorrow. It will be just the two of us. You have to take care of each other in the future."
Lin Xiaoxi blushed: "I understand."

Ning Jia returned home after lunch time.
An Ye specially left some rice in the pot for her. She was very hungry after all the busy work in the morning. She threw the food into her room and went straight to the kitchen to get a big bowl of rice.
It was nap time, so she didn't disturb An Ye. After dinner, she went to her room and took a nap.
When she woke up, the sun was already setting and the day was almost over.
There were bursts of digging noises in the yard. Ning Jia got off the kang, washed his face with cold water and came out to see that An Ye was planning a small vegetable garden in the yard.
"Ye Ye, stop working and take a break. I'll show you something."
"Are you here? When are you coming? How come I didn't know about you?" An Ye dropped the shovel, washed his hands, and followed Ning Jia into the house.
Ning Jia picked up the basket and placed it on the table. She lifted the white towel on top of it, revealing the contents inside.
"Wow!" An Ye was stunned. "So many eggs! And bacon. The quality of the meat looks really good! Ye Ye, your mother's family has so many things."
Ning Jia laughed twice: "What is this? I have something even better!"
As she spoke, she untied the woven bag and poured all the chickens inside onto the ground. Looking at so many chickens, An Ye's eyes were about to pop out of their frames.
"Your mother asked you to bring so many things? She is so generous!"
"What are you thinking? I brought all this from home with my own strength! I almost got caught by Yang Huilian. If she had caught me, we wouldn't have anything to eat."
"That's great! We won't have to worry about food for the next few days!" An Ye was so happy that he said, "Let's eat the food you brought first. After we finish eating, I'll go to my mother's house to ask for more food. That way, we'll have enough food for a while."
Ning Jia couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Are we going a little too far by doing this?"
An Ye: "What for? When our business develops, can we still do without them?"
"That's right!"
"Hey, we can't eat all these chickens. Put them in the cage with the chicks! Maybe they can even lay eggs!"
Ning Jia scratched his head and said, "These are all roosters, they can only be eaten! I didn't even let my grandfather catch the hens that laid eggs. I was really worried that Ms. Yang Huilian would not be able to bear this blow and would faint."
An Ye: “…”
You still have a conscience!
For dinner, An Ye cooked stir-fried potatoes with bacon slices. The greasy soup tasted fragrant and satisfying.
Li Xu kept praising while picking up the meat: "Old Six, it has to be your wife! What a girl! What a talent!"
Li Yao raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Ning Jia.
Ning Jia raised an eyebrow: "How is it? Is my fighting ability strong?"
"Strong! You're the best!" Li Yao also praised enthusiastically. To be honest, he was almost shocked to see his wife bringing so many things. "But I can guarantee that next time you go to Qingshan Village, my mother-in-law will be on guard against you like a thief!"
"Never mind her, we'll talk about it later!"
Li Xueshan ate the meat and her eyes narrowed with satisfaction.
We were enjoying our dinner happily when a fight broke out in the front yard. The dining table in the house was overturned and the food was spilled all over the floor.
Li Tao ran over in a panic and said to Ning Jia, "Sister-in-law, go and have a look. Big brother and sister-in-law are fighting. Sister-in-law seems to be crazy and no one can stop her! Sister-in-law and you are the closest to each other on weekdays. Go and help her."
