Yan Bugui returned to the front yard with Li Qinghe, exchanged a few words and then went their separate ways.
When he got home, he sat down at the table and took a sip of the water. He had drunk the most just now because he was greedy, so he was naturally very thirsty.
The third aunt was mending clothes. Seeing him like this, she fanned the wine away with disdain, "How much have you drunk?"
"Hehe, not much, just one bottle." Yan Bugui raised a finger proudly.
If he really couldn't drink any more, he would have finished another bottle.
The third aunt whispered, "Don't you have anything left? I saw it earlier, the table is full of food, there are five or six meat dishes alone, and the portions are large. Have you finished eating everything?"
Yan Bugui shook his head. "I'm sure we didn't finish eating, but there's no more meat. There are so many people here. We finally got some meat. How can there be any left? Otherwise, how can I come back empty-handed?"
The third aunt's face was full of disappointment. "That's such a pity."
She was also greedy for meat. She almost forgot what meat tasted like.
The last time I ate meat was more than a month ago. It was only two taels of meat, shared by seven people in the family. It was gone before we could even taste it.
"There's nothing we can do. There are eight people, including two little ones. The table is almost full. Even though there's a lot of meat, it can't hold up to so many people." Yan Bugui sighed. He also felt it was a pity.
The third aunt also understood and just asked casually, then suddenly realized and asked, "Two little ones? Which two? I remember that the families we went to eat with didn't have any children, right?"
Yan Bugui rolled his eyes. "Who else could it be? The two girls from the Jia family. After the quarrel, Jia and Zhang went back home, and the two little ones were left behind. They were also given a few pieces of meat and rice.
"But Li Qinghe was kindhearted and didn't target them. He Yushui gave them meat to eat, and not only did he not object, he even took them out to play."
The third aunt was surprised, "This Li Qinghe is a responsible person, and he knows how to distinguish between gratitude and resentment."
"Well, that boy is good, a real man, and capable. He can get so many good things. If he can help us in the future, please help. It will be good for us." The third uncle nodded in agreement and gave another reminder.
"I know. By the way, where did he get those things? There's so much meat. It takes a lot of skill. Could it be pigeons..."
"Enough, you've been guessing blindly all day long. Why do you care where he got it from? He dares to take it out openly, which means he is not afraid of your suspicion. Don't forget his identity, the orphan of a martyr. Don't you understand how important he is? He is treated with preferential treatment wherever he goes. How could he not know some important people?"
"Shh~ That's incredible. We underestimated him before. What a strong relationship he has. Do you think we can ask him to help get some meat back? We won't ask for it for free. We can pay him a price that is higher than the market price."
Yan Bugui's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea, but I still have to build a good relationship with him first. This guy is grateful. Did you forget that he gave me eggs before?"
"Well, I'll listen to you. I'll spend more time with him in the future. Our daughter-in-law even helps him wash his clothes. It will be much easier for us to have a good relationship with him."
“That’s true.”
......
Li Qinghe returned home and saw Yu Li washing clothes diligently.
"You're back. Drink some water first. I'll be done with the shower soon."
When she saw Li Qinghe, Yu Li put down the work in her hands, wiped the water off her clothes, and handed him a glass of water.
"Yeah, okay."
After taking the cup and taking a sip, Li Qinghe reached into his arms and when he took it out, there was a lunch box inside.
"Here, eat it quickly, it's specially reserved for you."
Yu Li's eyes lit up and she quickly took it and gave him a charming look.
When I opened it, I saw a dozen pieces of plump braised pork inside. I quickly picked up a piece and put it in my mouth.
Seeing her anxious look, Li Qinghe quickly handed her a pair of chopsticks, "Eat slowly, no one is trying to snatch it from you. Here, use the chopsticks."
"Uh-huh."
Yu Li's mouth was full of braised pork and she responded vaguely.
Soon, all the braised pork was eaten, and Yu Li burped with satisfaction.
Li Qinghe stood up and hugged her, grinning and said, "It seems that you are satisfied. Do you want to satisfy me now?"
Yu Li looked out the window. It was pitch black and most people were asleep, so she nodded shyly.
Half an hour later, the curtain on the door was lifted, and Yu Li walked out with a smile on her face, walking briskly towards home.
Li Qinghe put on his clothes and looked at the compound through the window. Seeing that all the lights were off, he quickly climbed over the wall and rushed to the delivery place.
The night was dark and the stars were dim, making the imperial capital very bleak at night.
......
Boom! Boom!
A low engine sound was heard and a truck stopped in front of the dilapidated house.
Li Qinghe threw away the cigarette butt and wrapped his face with the scarf again.
Cui Dake jumped out of the car and called the people in the back to get down and prepare to move the goods. He then trotted over with a fawning look on his face, holding a paper bag on the ground in his hands.
"Brother, this is the payment for the goods."
Li Qinghe took it and weighed it, then said in a low voice, "Your share has been deducted, right?"
Cui Dake nodded respectfully, "I will definitely follow your instructions."
Li Qinghe didn't say anything, but raised his hand and pointed at the dilapidated house behind him.
Cui Dake understood immediately and waved to the two people behind him.
Including the driver, there were four people in total. They quickly moved a pile of goods into the car, then greeted Li Qinghe with an apologetic smile, climbed into the car and left quickly.
Watching them leave, Li Qinghe also quickly left and disappeared into the darkness.
