Chapter 128 Invitation to the Village

When Chen Qingqing and the others left the village, they told Wei Zheng to dig up the road leading to the village to prevent anyone from forcing their way in.

Now not only has a trench been dug around the village, but a road through the forest has also been opened to facilitate the passage of vehicles.

The wooden fence that was originally shaky and about to fall has now been replaced with a wire mesh.

There is a layer of plastic sheeting inside the wire mesh.

I think Wei Zheng didn't find a protective net, so he used plastic film to isolate the outside world.

Everyone parked the car in front of the trench, and Chen Qingqing took out a walkie-talkie that hadn't been used for a long time.

"Beep--"

"Beep--"

Cong Xin stared closely at the walkie-talkie in Chen Qingqing's hand.

"Sister Qing, it's been so long, can they admit it?"

Especially now is the time when insects are rampant. Except for Li Wei's ecological park, basically everywhere is short of food.

Chen Qingqing came to them to ask for food, it's normal for them not to give it.

Lin Bo shook his head slowly: "We are not here just for food."

Cong Xin was confused, and when she wanted to ask again, there was a voice in Chen Qingqing's walkie-talkie:

"Hello?"

"Is it you?"

A tentative tone came from the other side.

Chen Qingqing recognized the other person's voice: "Is it Jiang Cuiping? It's me, Chen Qingqing."

There was a pause on the other side, and then the voice was trembling: "Are you really back?"

"Brother! Brother! Chen Qingqing is back!"

"They are back!"

The walkie-talkie was thrown away, and Jiang Cuiping's voice gradually faded away. Not long after, a burst of hurried footsteps came again.

"Look at me in a hurry, I even forgot about the walkie-talkie... Chen Qingqing, wait, we will pick you up now!"

Jiang Cuiping's tone was full of joy.

Chen Qingqing put away the walkie-talkie, and not long after, a gap was opened in the plastic film in the village.

People in the village squeezed out from the gap one after another.

They didn't have protective clothing, but everyone was wrapped up tightly, and wearing motorcycle helmets could protect against bugs.

They took out a large iron plate and placed it on the trench. The leader stepped on the iron plate to the outside of the driver's room and knocked on the glass.

Lin Bo lowered the glass.

"It's really you!" Wei Zheng's voice came faintly from the helmet.

Cong Xin in the back seat observed Wei Zheng cautiously, worried that he would suddenly attack.

Wei Zheng also looked back at the same time, and after seeing Xiao Huan and Huo Huo babbling and waving his arms in the safety seat, his calm eyes finally showed a ripple.

"You are all still here... That's great."

Chen Qingqing and Lin Bo looked at each other after hearing this.

When they met Wei Zheng, he was not so sentimental, and would not say such words casually.

... I am afraid that Wei Zheng has not had an easy time in the past month.

Under Wei Zheng's guidance, Lin Bo drove the car into the village through the iron plate. The villagers surrounded the car to welcome them, with smiles on their faces, but the smiles were a little faint.

Chen Qingqing got out of the car, and Jiang Cuiping just came over with the child.

"Chen Qingqing!"

Jiang Cuiping's child is now almost eight months old, round and cute, and Jiang Cuiping's condition is much better than when she saw him before.

"You guys were late for a long time, we thought..."

"We were delayed on the road for a while, are you all right?"

Jiang Cuiping paused when she heard that, and slowly lowered her head: "The child and I are fine, but..."

"Okay, they finally got back, let's not stand here and talk, take a good rest." Wei Zheng took off his helmet and interrupted Jiang Cuiping.

Jiang Cuiping forced a smile: "Yes, let's go inside and take a rest first."

They have been traveling on the road these days and are indeed very tired.

Chen Qingqing did not refuse. She introduced Cong Xin to everyone first, and then took Xiao Huan into the house.

Lin Bo walked into the house holding Zhuo Zhuo. Jiang Cuiping looked up and saw it, and was stunned.

"This, this is your daughter?"

"Isn't your daughter two months younger than my son?"

Lin Bo walked to Jiang Cuiping holding Huo Huo.

Chen Qingqing was silent as well.

Before this, Chen Qingqing only knew that Huo Huo was growing faster.

But now the two children are next to each other, with such an obvious contrast, it is hard not to notice.

Huo Huo is only five months old, but he is a lot bigger than the seven-month-old boy next to him.

It's not that he is fat, but Huo Huo looks like he is ten months old.

Jiang Cuiping was even more shocked when she learned that the child in front of her was really Huo Huo: "How did you raise him? How could he grow so fast?"

Chen Qingqing couldn't say that she suspected it was the effect of the space.

Lin Bo came to the rescue: "Shen Shen usually eats a lot, that's probably why."

Jiang Cuiping looked unconvinced.

No matter how much she eats, she can't grow so fast.

"Can she walk now?"

Chen Qingqing nodded: "I can't say she can walk completely, but she can stand up."

"That's also amazing, a five-month-old child can stand up? My son just stood up by holding the wall."

Jiang Cuiping was very impressed.

"Can she call people now?"

Chen Qingqing nodded again: "Now she can call dad, mom, and brother."

Jiang Cuiping sighed again: "That's too fast!"

"My son didn't call mom until he was seven months old."

Chen Qingqing and her husband looked at each other.

It seems that their daughter is really growing too fast.

"These are all good things, you don't have to worry too much." Jiang Cuiping and her husband were very serious and quickly added.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you very much. If you hadn't left me so many cans of milk powder, my son would not be alive and well until now."

Jiang Cuiping thanked sincerely.

Chen Qingqing: "Do you need more?"

Jiang Cuiping shook her head repeatedly: "There are quite a few."

As they were talking, Wei Zheng also came in.

Wei Zheng held a can of green plum wine and put it on the tea table, and went to the kitchen to get a few cups.

He poured a glass of green plum wine for everyone.

"I'll ask someone to cook, let's drink a few glasses of wine first to fill our stomachs."

Chen Qingqing picked up the cup, but before she could drink it, she saw Wei Zheng drink the wine in the glass.

Wei Zheng's brows seemed to be filled with worry.

Chen Qingqing asked directly, "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Wei Zheng was stunned: "We..."

Wei Zheng hesitated, Jiang Cuiping couldn't stand it, and took the initiative to speak for him: "Chen Qingqing, we have an unwelcome request."

"We did promise to keep all the crops harvested in the past month for you. But now... can you leave a small part of those grains for us?"

Chen Qingqing guessed that they would mean this.

But Chen Qingqing remembered that when they left, there was still a lot of grain left in the village.

It was only over a month, it was impossible for it to be eaten up so quickly.

Chen Qingqing frowned: "What happened to you?"

Jiang Cuiping was choking, pinching the corner of her clothes: "We... failed to grow crops as agreed, and the yield is only one-third of the original."
