The village chief nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood what Engineer Wang meant and would definitely cooperate with the planning department staff during construction.
Before I knew it, it was already three or four in the afternoon. I had been so busy with work that I hadn't thought about my stomach. Now that everything was settled, I don't know whose stomach rumbled, but then a series of rumbling sounds followed.
These days, people don't eat much; at most, they just drink water to fill their stomachs. It's considered good if they can keep their eyes from turning red from hunger.
The village chief and others insisted on inviting them to stay for a meal, but Wang Gong, Fan Xiaofan, and the others quickly waved their hands, saying, "How can we do that? These days, every household keeps track of every single grain of food..."
Engineer Wang immediately spoke up: "We've almost finished our calculations here, and there's nothing else to do. It's getting late, and we can't afford to delay any longer, lest we miss the dawn..."
No matter how the village chief tried to persuade them to stay, they all had to leave.
Fan Xiaofan was surprised to see the man walking towards her when they arrived at the village entrance. She blinked and asked, "Why are you here?"
Shi Lingheng smiled slightly: "I just happened to be passing by and I don't have any transportation. I'm afraid you'll have to give me a ride..."
hehe……
I don't believe you!
Liu Fang and Gu Wenyan both rolled their eyes. They came here specifically to run errands; who would just pass by here for no reason...
Fan Xiaofan's eyes unconsciously curved upwards, and she subconsciously wanted to take two quick steps toward Shi Lingheng. However, the blisters that had formed while walking caused her to feel a sharp pain whenever she moved too much, and her movements stiffened for a moment.
Shi Lingheng, who had been smiling seductively, frowned slightly. He strode over to Fan Xiaofan's side without making a big fuss about whether she was alright. Not only were Wang Gong, Liu Fang, Gu Wenyan, and others present, but the village chief of Ivory Village was also there with the villagers. If he did that, wouldn't people say that Fan Xiaofan was being pretentious...?
At this time, it's all about being able to endure hardship. Although Shi Lingheng felt sorry for her, outsiders would ultimately think that this little girl was delicate and fragile.
After Fan Xiaofan and the others left, the village chief of Ivory Village happily shared with everyone the joy that their village was about to be connected to electricity. He then said, "These comrades are really kind. They came all this way without even having a meal. Let's save up some food so that next time they come, we'll definitely treat them to a meal..."
His response was a chorus of voices from the villagers: "That's right, if each of us keeps a little, it adds up..."
Once Fan Xiaofan got into the car, the pain in her leg subsided when she didn't move. Shi Lingheng noticed this and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache...
However, given the current situation, it wasn't appropriate for him to take a look. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that he had brought some small trinkets with him with him this time, and said, "You've been here all day, you must be hungry, right?"
Fan Xiaofan nodded vigorously, while Liu Fang and Gu Wenyan lowered their heads somewhat irresponsibly. Why did they forget to prepare some food when they went out?
Engineer Wang is a rough guy, and he's always been rather careless in this regard...
Then, as if by magic, Shi Lingheng pulled a handful of candy from his pocket. The size of Shi Lingheng's hand was quite different from that of Fan Xiaofan's hand. Fan Xiaofan couldn't even hold a handful of candy in both of his hands.
It's really not a single bit less...
It seemed that the problem of hunger was solved in the car thanks to candy, which could replenish energy.
