Chapter 184 Return to the End of the World 14
Early the next morning, the mercenaries drove over in two high-bottomed trucks.
When they arrived, Chen Qian was still sleeping in bed. Half asleep and half awake, she heard a knock on the door and hurriedly pushed Lin Xing, who was clinging to her side. He had kept her awake all night, and even after they were done, he still held her tightly as if he had skin hunger.
"Lin Xing, wake up and check to see if Brother Gao and the others are here."
"It's still early," the man who was pushed away pressed back, "We agreed yesterday to go up the mountain at 8 o'clock today. It's not dawn yet, let's lie down for a while." As he said this, his hand slipped under her pajamas and caressed the delicate skin under his palm.
"Still lying down?" Chen Qian rolled her eyes, grabbed her phone from the bedside, turned on the screen and thrust it into his face. "Look, look, it's already 7:30, why don't you get up quickly? Listen to the noise outside, it must be Brother Gao and the others coming."
Squinting his eyes, he watched the time on the screen jump from 7:30 to 7:31. Lin Xing widened his eyes and sat up. He picked up the clothes at the end of the bed and put them on, then walked into the yard while fastening his belt.
Chen Qian sneered and said, "You've been annoying me last night." Then she changed her clothes leisurely and folded the quilt on the bed neatly. When she finished packing and left the room, seven or eight tall men had already surrounded her in the yard. When they saw her come out, they all called her "sister-in-law" enthusiastically.
After looking around, she didn't see the one from her family. Then she saw Lin Xing and Gao Lang, together with two other guys around 18 or 19, installing a silk roller on the wall.
The silk rolling cage was really heavy, and the workers were sweating all over. They soon took off their heavy cotton clothes, but even so, they still felt too hot.
Chen Qian stood under the wall and watched for a while, then asked the other people in the yard to come into the living room and sit down. She picked up the thermos and poured each of them a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup to help them get rid of the cold.
As soon as the warm ginger soup went down their stomachs, several bearded men were a little surprised. They thought that Lin Xing, the new daughter-in-law, was really generous. Ginger is not cheap in winter, not to mention brown sugar, which is even more scarce. It seems that only newlywed women of childbearing age can apply for it. Could it be that this woman has used up her quota of brown sugar? There must be a lot of sugar in the thermos of ginger soup just now.
Nowadays, you have to bring your own food when you go to someone's house for a meal. After all, no one's food comes from the wind. Drinking a bowl of ginger soup for no reason, these grown men felt like they were getting a great deal. After putting it down, they felt a little uncomfortable.
A man with a buzz cut smiled innocently and said, "Sister-in-law, we grown men are usually rough around the bush. It would be a waste to give us such a delicate thing as brown sugar ginger soup. We all had breakfast in the cafeteria before coming here. We came in a hurry this time. It was our first official visit and we didn't bring any gifts..."
He patted his chest and said, "Sister, you are really generous. If you have any difficulties in the future, just go to the group and report my name, Huang Tianqi. If that kid Lin Xing bullies you in the future, I will help you deal with him..."
Chen Qian thought to herself: Lin Xing and I are alone in this world. If something happens, we will really need someone to help us. Distant relatives are not as good as close friends. In these days, having many friends can lead to multiple escape routes. The days to come will be long, and we don’t know when we will be blamed by others.
So she agreed openly: "Brother Huang, I take your words seriously. To be honest, it's not easy for us to meet in this world. I have no relatives in this world for more than ten years. Now I feel a little bit close to you. If you don't mind, how about you be the godfather of my child in the future?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started to make a fuss. One person said that the girl was partial to him and he wanted to be her godfather too, another person wanted to acknowledge Chen Qian as his stepsister on the spot, and some people even joked that they wanted to come in and compete with Lin Xing. The room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
When Gao Lang came in, he saw his brothers and others in a mess. The laughing group did not stop even when they saw their captain coming. They pulled Gao Lang aside and asked him to make the decision.
Chen Qian hurriedly served brown sugar ginger soup to the four people who had finished their work. It must have been hard for them to work in such a cold weather.
Tasting the ginger and sweetness in his mouth, Gao Lang looked at her in surprise, thinking that he had finally married Xingzi, this daughter-in-law. Not to mention whether the things were precious or not, the key was that she was willing to give the man enough face in front of her brothers, which showed that this woman must have this man in her heart.
Lin Xing was indeed very relieved. Although he felt sorry that his wife used up so much brown sugar at once, his heart almost flew away when he thought that after today everyone in the team would know what a good wife he had married. He felt light-hearted.
Let those who can't eat the grapes and say that the grapes are sour say bad things about him behind his back. Humph, his wife is the best daughter-in-law in the world. She is very strong in fighting, can cook, and can do needlework.
Chen Qian, who was greeting guests, turned around and caught a glimpse of her own little wolfdog's starry eyes. She suppressed the corners of her mouth and thought to herself, this local dog is pleasing to the eye the more I look at it.
As for the two young men who followed in later, they obediently called her "sister-in-law" and then sipped the ginger soup to savor the rare sweetness in their daily lives, secretly dreaming of marrying a wife like their sister-in-law in the future.
The temperature outside was gradually rising, and the frost on the corners of the walls in the yard turned into water and wet the ground. Chen Qian stood at the gate of the yard, watching the cars go away. She didn't go back to her room to catch up on her sleep until she could no longer see the cars.
This young grass is good in every way except that she is too energetic. Every time I make love with her, I want to nail her to the bed. It's really unbearable.
Thinking of the four husbands of her best friend next door, Chen Qian was silent for a moment. How did her best friend choose the person to sleep with? Was it like in the old TV dramas where she took turns picking the right person?
With a bit of curiosity, she fell asleep.
The golden sunlight that awoke again was all over the floor. Chen Qian went to the washbasin, scooped up a handful of cold air and blew it on her face. The cool touch instantly sobered her up. She estimated that it was almost time for the group of people to return, so she dried her hands and prepared to make dinner.
There was no need to be too particular about dinner. Chen Qian went outside to find a few bricks and used scissors to twist the wire left over from work into the same length. Two bricks were arranged into a long passage, and a layer of charcoal from daily fires was laid underneath. The bricks were covered with a layer of wire and then a layer of bricks to compact it. The long grill was ready.
As for the ingredients, the half lamb had been marinated, and she also skewered half a basin of potatoes and half a basin of vegetables. The potatoes were bought by Lin Xing in the city last time, and the vegetables were brought by Gao Lang. Others also brought some mushrooms, leeks and other ingredients, which she also skewered.
After walking like this for half an afternoon, Chen Qian's hands were left with two long red marks from the wire. When the orange sunset dyed half the sky red, she could only see the shadows of two cars in the distance on the road.
The leading car sped past without even saying hello and headed straight for the city gate. Chen Qian was full of questions, as they had agreed to have dinner together at home tonight.
Fortunately, the car behind them loaded with wood and game slowly came to a stop. The passenger window rolled down, revealing Lin Xing's handsome face. He smiled at his wife, "Xixi, get in the car first. I'll explain what's going on later."
As he said this, he held Chen Qian on his lap and got into the car, which caused the men in the back seat to make jokes. Even Huang Tianqi, who was driving, felt like he was being slapped in the face with cold dog food.
After the car arrived at the house, several men in the back seat rolled up their sleeves and moved the wood and wild animals in the trunk into the yard. About a dozen pieces of wood were stacked next to the firewood pile, and a wild deer with a broken horn, two wild sheep, and five wild rabbits weighing about 20 to 30 kilograms were thrown in the corner of the yard.
After moving the things, Huang Tianqi and his friends wanted to hurry back, saying that they had urgent matters to take care of, and they ignored Chen Qian's repeated attempts to keep them.
After the sound of engines starting, the yard was left with silence.
The autumn night wind brought a bit of chilliness, so the two of them moved the two pots of food in the yard back to the kitchen. Fortunately, the temperature was low now, so the meat and vegetables could be kept.
There was only a lonely grill left in the yard. Chen Qian was a little puzzled. Why was it so difficult to treat a guest? Thinking of this, she raised her elbow and nudged the man next to her: "What happened to you today? You were all in a hurry and didn't even have time to eat."
