When they arrived at the dormitory building, Li Qinghe asked Liang Ladi to go home first, and he opened the gate and went in.
When he came out again, he was carrying a big bag of cotton, a roll of cloth, and a small bag of eggs.
He ran upstairs in two steps. Liang Ladi's door was not closed, so he walked straight in.
"Sister Liang, these are eggs. Please help me fry two poached eggs. Remember to add salt. And these are the cloths. Please make me a cotton-padded jacket. If there is not enough, please tell me. I will measure the size after dinner."
Liang Ladi put down the things in her hands, looked at the cloth and cotton that Li Qinghe brought, and said in surprise: "This is too much. How can one set of clothes require so much?"
"Hey, just keep doing it. You can keep whatever is left. I can't let you work for nothing. I'll leave the food here. I'll go back and cook something. I don't know where the canteen's chef got the food from. His cooking skills are terrible."
After saying that, he ran downstairs again.
Liang Ladi couldn't help laughing when she saw that there was obviously almost half more cotton and cloth, and she felt warm in her heart.
"This Li Qinghe, he wants to help but doesn't even know how to find a good excuse."
Back in the yard, Li Qinghe prepared to steam some rice, and he calculated that there was still enough time.
Just as I picked up the pot, I saw Damao running in, "Uncle, you take a rest, let me do it."
"Okay. Then be careful not to get burned." After giving the instructions, he handed the pot over.
Then he turned around and rode away on his bike in a hurry. After a while, he came back with a bag and ran upstairs.
"Sister Liang, I got a chicken back. You can kill it and cook it. Add more water. You can drink chicken soup when you get home from get off work. You can use the chicken soup to cook noodles in the morning. It's so delicious."
As he spoke, he took out a big rooster from the bag, followed by a 20-pound bag of flour.
Liang Ladi no longer had time to think about where the chicken and flour came from, and hurried to stop them, "Qinghe, this is really not okay. Such valuable things are left with me, what if something is missing?"
"Sister Liang, don't worry. It's not much. You can keep it. You know I'm lazy and can't cook. It would be a waste to keep it. I'll tell you what I want to eat in the future and you can cook it for me."
He turned around and told Ermao and Sanmao, "Don't go out this afternoon. Stay at home and watch over the chicken soup. Don't let it dry up. If there's not enough water, add some. Also, keep an eye on Xiu'er and don't let her get hurt."
"I understand, uncle." Da Mao and Er Mao agreed at the same time.
"Okay, that's it." After saying that, he ran out again.
Liang Ladi looked at Li Qinghe's back and was dazed for a moment. Is this the feeling of having someone to rely on?
Unconsciously, a warm smile appeared on his face, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
......
Liang Ladi fried three poached eggs, and at Li Qinghe's request, she fried two more, but he only ate two and a bowl of rice. She asked the four children to share the rest with Liang Ladi.
I took two more bites of the food I brought back from the cafeteria, but I really couldn't eat it anymore.
"I have to get some food tomorrow, otherwise how can we eat the food in the cafeteria every day?"
He now gets a headache when he sees the big pot meals in the cafeteria.
Liang Ladi looked at him and laughed, "Why, you really have become a big shot, and you are so picky about food."
Li Qinghe took out a cigarette and lit it, then said proudly, "The most important thing in life is eating. This is the most important thing. I can wear worse clothes and live in worse places, but I can't eat worse. Besides, we have the conditions, so why can't we eat better?"
"Okay, let me see what good stuff you can get." Liang Ladi rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile.
She felt envious. She looked at others and then at herself. Others were already thinking about how to eat well, but she and her family were only thinking about how to get enough to eat.
Li Qinghe glanced at her, shook his head and said, "I have a lot of friends, so it's no problem to get some pork or something. I can't say how much, but a few dozen kilograms is no problem. As for chicken and eggs, there's no problem at all."
He probed his consciousness into the space and found that the land area was more than seven acres. The rice and wheat were golden and they could harvest another wave tonight.
The number of yellow cattle has grown to eight, two of which are still pregnant. It looks like they will give birth to two more calves soon.
I have to go to the pigeon market in the evening to see if the person who sold me the golden horse has come, and I also have to see if I can get two pigs back.
The space is still too small now, and it is difficult to upgrade quickly by just absorbing emotions sporadically. If he had a hundred or eighty acres of land now, he could let go and raise all the poultry and livestock he could get.
Now, due to space constraints, even if he lets the animals reproduce freely, the numbers are still small.
Beef is delicious, but after all, it is not that popular in this era. Pork is the hard currency.
Everything was moving in a good direction, and Li Qinghe's consciousness exited the space.
"Several dozen kilograms? Are you serious?"
Liang Ladi was shocked. How strong a relationship would it take to get so much pork these days?
Even in their factory, they only eat pork a few times a year.
Normally, we can only eat it when the leaders invite us, and then it’s not much, so we can’t eat as much as we want.
This is the difference between small factories and large factories. Large factories give more quotas, and if you just cut a little bit off, it will be enough for the leadership to give special treatment. Small factories are not like that. The quotas are not many to begin with, and if you cut too much off, the workers in the factory will be unhappy.
Liang Ladi looked outside the door and whispered, "Are you engaging in speculation?"
Li Qinghe rolled his eyes. "What nonsense! How can you get dozens of kilograms of meat by speculation?"
I thought to myself, what nonsense are you talking about? It seems that wheat is the only thing in my space that is not obtained through speculation, and the others are all bought from the pigeon market.
Liang Ladi thought about it and it seemed to be right, but if she were asked to engage in speculation, she wouldn't know what to do.
"You are right."
......
Li Qinghe came to the door of the infirmary, looked around furtively, trotted in, put two eggs on the table, then turned around and ran away.
Ding Qiunan was looking through the medical records. When he heard the noise, he turned around and saw a figure leaving.
Then she saw the egg on the table. She picked it up and ran after him, but when she got out of the door, there was no one there.
"This guy is really silent." Ding Qiunan stomped his feet, went back to the infirmary and put the eggs on the table.
She picked up the medical record again, but she found that she seemed unable to concentrate and kept looking at the eggs.
In the end, she couldn't help but pick it up again. She didn't eat enough at noon, and seeing the eggs made her hungry again. She had forgotten how long it had been since she had eaten eggs.
"Or I can just eat one and return it to him when I have more. I still owe him chestnuts anyway, so I'll pay him back when the time comes."
After convincing herself, she carefully peeled the eggshell, revealing the white and tender egg white. She took a light bite and immediately squinted her eyes in happiness.
While chewing the eggs, she recalled the scene of Li Qinghe riding a bicycle with Liang Ladi at noon.
"What is the relationship between him and Liang Ladi?"
