After returning from the village entrance, Meng Qidi went to Ling Laosi's old house, picked a handful of vegetable leaves, watered them, and then locked the door and came out.
"Hey, Ling Xiao's family, you couldn't wait to go to someone else's house right after Ling Xiao left? Have some shame?"
Luo Xia was leaning against the wall, and when she saw Meng Qidi coming out, she quickly stood up.
Meng Qidi rolled her eyes at this kind of nonsense, "What's the matter?"
Luo Xia sneered, "Why are you showing off? Isn't it just that your man is back? Usually you shamelessly hang out with other men... Hey, what are you doing? Don't come over here!"
Luo Xia looked at Meng Qidi who was walking over with caution, "I was right, you were..."
Meng Qidi stopped in front of her, suddenly raised her hand and shook it vigorously, and a large amount of snow fell from the sky...
Luo Xia was drenched and jumped away screaming, "Meng Qidi!"
Meng Qidi said calmly, "This is just a warning, Luo Xia. Today I just want to give you some snow. If I hear this rumor outside next time, I will hold it against you. Your son will not get a penny for helping me."
Luo Xia jumped up and down, not even bothering to brush off the snow on her head, "Meng Qidi! Don't go too far. What others say is none of my business. What right do you have to deduct Jin Ming's money?"
"Just because I'm the boss, I only heard it from you. If Jin Ming wants money, it's up to you, auntie."
Meng Qidi glanced at her indifferently and turned away.
She originally planned to mock Meng Qidi and even ruin her reputation. Who asked her family to hold a wedding banquet without inviting them? She was just angry.
As a result, now I lose more than I gain...
Meng Qidi went back without being affected at all. She didn't have to bother dealing with a brainless person like Luo Xia.
The dishes were sent to the kitchen. What the family was eating were the leftovers from yesterday’s banquet. They were too greasy, so we ate some green vegetables to cut through the greasiness.
Before he could sit down, Ling Cheng pulled him to the backyard. The little girl had prepared all the tools and was just waiting to pick red dates...
Picking red dates on a snowy day? Meng Qidi really couldn't do anything about her, "Aren't you going to save them for your uncle to eat?"
Because she had watered the jujube tree with Yuquan water, it had borne fruit several times. This was the last batch of red dates, which had hung for a month or two but were never picked.
"Isn't my uncle back? If he doesn't eat it, it belongs to someone else now." The little girl snorted.
Meng Qidi was helpless, okay, she had the final say.
It’s quite easy to pick red dates on a snowy day. The white snow is dotted with red dots, which looks really beautiful.
The little girl was carrying her own small basket and picking red dates, laughing all the time.
All the dates on the tree were knocked down, and I picked up two full baskets and brought them back.
"Cook them and make candied dates or..." Wang Jinhua helped her granddaughter change her wet coat.
"Save it for her as a snack." Meng Qidi roasted the fire and ate red dates.
When I was working before, I really didn’t feel the cold in winter. Today, I suddenly have some free time and I feel like I can’t live without fire for a moment.
When the snow stops, she will go to the several companies that have built biogas digesters to make sure there are no problems.
I originally planned to wait for the snow to stop, but it kept snowing and it was snowing heavily until dark.
Wang Jinhua stood at the door, looking at the sky, and sighed, "I don't know if Ling Xiao and the others have boarded the train. Can the train run in this heavy snow?"
"It's hard to say. If he can't leave, he will probably come back." Meng Qidi was also a little worried. Regardless of whether he could leave or not, she hoped that he would be safe.
Before going to bed at night, Ling Xiao and the other man had not returned yet, so they were probably about to get in the car.
Early the next morning, before I opened my eyes, I heard a lot of noise downstairs.
Meng Qidi washed up and put on a military coat. This coat was brought back by Ling Xiao this time, and it was brand new.
In the main room, Wang Cuihua was talking to Wang Jinhua. When she saw Meng Qidi coming down, she quickly stood up and said, "Xiao Qi, you finally got up."
"What's wrong?" Meng Qidi asked.
"The biogas tank is frozen and there is not enough biogas. What should I do?"
Meng Qidi said calmly, "The temperature is not high enough, don't worry."
Wang Cuihua was slightly stunned, full of anxiety, "How can the temperature still be insufficient? In the middle of winter..."
"Sister-in-law, wouldn't it be better to burn a fire today? Besides, it's not like the biogas is broken if it can't be used."
Wang Jinhua said that she had been talking to her all morning, but she refused to listen. Now she basically understood what she wanted to do.
While Wang Jinhua and Wang Cuihua were talking, Meng Qidi went to the kitchen and took out two hot meat buns. Unexpectedly, the old lady also made buns.
He pulled out a stool and sat down next to the brazier, handed one to the little girl, tore open the bun, and the soup overflowed.
Seeing Meng Qidi coming out, Wang Cuihua repeated what she said again.
Meng Qidi finished the bun in her hand and said calmly, "It's not that there is no other way. Biogas requires temperature. If you want to use it, just add more hot water into it."
As for whether it would work, she didn't know, she was just talking nonsense.
"How much hot water would that require? Xiaoqi, this is really unfair of you. You didn't say that the biogas can't be used in winter."
Wang Cuihua was full of accusations.
Meng Qidi said calmly, "Who said it can't be used? It's just because of the temperature in winter that the biogas is not as strong as in hot weather."
I wish I could use biogas every day, but there is not enough supply.
Of course, she also knew what this aunt-in-law was doing. She was just looking for trouble.
"Then you have to tell me what to do about this, right? Xiaoqi, you are clearly cheating us and you have cost our family more than a hundred dollars. Let's just return the goods..."
"Wang Cuihua, what do you mean?"
Wang Jinhua no longer called her sister-in-law. It seemed that this was the other party's idea. Why didn't she ask for a refund when she used the biogas?
Returning the goods? It was the first time she knew that this sister-in-law was so shameless.
Meng Qidi was calm, "What my aunt said makes sense. If you can't use it, you can return it."
"Xiao Qi!" Wang Jinhua was anxious. If one family returns the goods, the others will surely follow suit. If they return the goods, it will be their family that will suffer the loss. How can they afford the compensation...
Meng Qidi was willing to give in. Wang Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up, "Okay, then I'll go back first..."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Auntie, since you are returning the goods, we still have to settle some accounts. Of course, we can return them at the original price, but..."
Meng Qidi said calmly, "Aunt, your family has been using our biogas for several months. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world."
Wang Cuihua was stunned for a moment and slowly sat down, opening her mouth to try to argue.
Meng Qidi didn't give her a chance to speak, "Of course, I'm not a heartless person. After all, I dug a big hole in your family. I'll take it as compensation, okay?"
Wang Cuihua was ecstatic. She had not expected Meng Qidi to be so understanding. She said everything she wanted to say and saved her the trouble of saying anything.
Meng Qidi smiled, "Okay, since my aunt has agreed, she will definitely not object to me dismantling things, right? Mom, by the way, ask Jin Ming to smash the biogas pool and fill up the pit left by my aunt? It's all our fault. Who said there is no biogas in winter?"
