When Liu Qingshan and his group came out, they didn't even need to be told; the villagers had already loaded the gifts they were supposed to receive onto the truck.
Everyone was eager to go home. Liu Qingshan greeted the team leader and then told everyone to get in the car and go home.
When the three of them sat in the cockpit again, Jiang Qiao took the initiative to tell Liu Qingshan about Fang Yuejin's situation.
As for her relationship with Fang Yuejin, she wouldn't say anything unless he asked. If Fang Yuejin wanted to talk about it, he would naturally do so when he saw Liu Qingshan later, so as not to make it seem like she was trying to curry favor with him by bringing it up now.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Ning Hao is currently working under them; who knows what the future holds?
Liu Qingshan quickly asked Fang Yuejin what he was lacking.
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "They lack everything except people, but we can't just send them everything and make them live more comfortably than ordinary people. What do you think outsiders will think?"
I think you should get him some things he can use regularly, since there are other people living in that house. When I come over to remove their stitches, I can take them with me, or you can mail them to him.
His leg should be fine as long as no one bothers him. I've conveyed your message.
Jiang Qiao then steered the conversation toward the people who had gone into the mountains. She was really curious as to why those two people had an accident. Logically speaking, everyone else was fine, so why did these two people have an accident?
Speaking of this, Liu Qingshan looked annoyed. "Don't even mention it. We had agreed that we would follow orders when we entered the mountains. Those two saw the clubbird, followed it, and got separated from us by a distance. They were unlucky enough to run into a pack of wolves that came out to hunt. Now, the hungry wolves are not going to let them go."
Fortunately, it wasn't far away, and we rushed over as soon as we heard the noise. However, someone was still injured. Otherwise, none of us would have been injured on this trip into the mountains, since we were all carrying weapons.
Fortunately, no one lost their life because of this; otherwise, I would also be to blame.
Ning Hao chimed in from the side, "This is really something, impossible to guard against. They're all adults, and if they don't listen, there's nothing we can do. They're the ones with the legs."
Actually, their actions are understandable. They just wanted to supplement their household income. It's all because they're poor. Everyone knows that going into the mountains is dangerous, especially with the wolves causing such a ruckus lately.
Fortunately, we wiped out the wolf pack, so everyone can finally live in peace.
Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile, "That's right. We'll divide the spoils later. Ning Hao, you were the main player today, your accuracy was amazing. You can't deny you're getting old."
Ning Hao chuckled, "I've only been down here a short while, so my skills are still sharp. You guys haven't been on the battlefield for years. Besides, who plays this game all the time? Give you some time to practice, and I guarantee you'll all be just as good."
Jiang Qiao wasn't very interested in the wolf meat, and Ning Hao felt the same way. He only ordered two wild rabbits.
However, the couple were interested in the wolf pelts, so they bought two. They quickly grabbed their things and left, leaving the meat to whoever wanted it.
The people in the office thought Ning Hao and his wife were noble and virtuous, assuming that the young couple's life was better than theirs, who had families to support. They thought that giving them the meat was a way of making things easier for them.
Jiang Qiao had no idea what everyone was thinking. However, their family really didn't lack meat. Putting aside the game, the livestock they raised were almost overflowing, but they just didn't have an excuse to bring it out.
She can't always say that her friend sent it over. If someone asks her questions, where can she find such a capable friend?
This is something that's hard to investigate too deeply. Didn't you see that when she got married, her family slaughtered pigs themselves? Why? I guess her grandfather wanted to cover it up for her.
Ning Hao rode his bike home leisurely with his wife on the back. He was hungry; he had eaten something while in the mountains, but he was too embarrassed to eat much.
Jiang Qiao had prepared food for him, but everyone else was eating flatbread, while he was eating white flour steamed buns with meat inside. How could he possibly eat alone?
The people who came with him hadn't prepared anything, so Ning Hao had to share his food with them. He himself ate a flatbread but didn't dare eat much more. He knew very well what life was like for ordinary people in the countryside.
The conditions in Gujia Village were much better than in Nanshan Village, but they still only ate two meals a day and dared not eat dry food. Not to mention, after eating this flatbread, how much thin porridge would those families have to drink next?
The couple were in a similar situation; they had scattered all their belongings. There were still some in their storage space, but it wasn't convenient to take them out at this moment.
As soon as they got home, Jiang Qiao prepared food for Ning Hao. "Have some milk and cake first. I'll go cook now. Don't eat too much. There's good food. Go cook some skin later."
Ning Hao knew how to do this, and Jiang Qiao was too lazy to bother with it. The couple had already discussed and prepared it, leaving one copy for Ning Zhengtao and his wife, and sending the other one to Zuo Zhankui.
As for the family, the old men are all taken care of, so Ning Hao doesn't need to worry about it.
While Jiang Qiao was cooking in the kitchen, Zhu Lin came over with a basin.
"Oh dear, you two are finally back! Don't bother making any more rations, I've already steamed some buns. I was planning to bring them over earlier, but I've been waiting and waiting, and neither of you has returned. Qiao'er, warm these up—"
Jiang Qiao smiled and took it. "Grandma, are you full? You can stay here for dinner later. It'll be more lively with more people. Go call my grandpa."
Zhu Lin sighed, "Your grandfather went to your uncle's house. I don't know what happened. His grandson came over to call him. Don't wait for him. He must have eaten at your uncle's house. I'll eat with you."
Jiang Qiao made a cup of milk for the old lady. "Here, have some milk. Old people need to drink more; it's good for their health. Go back inside and sit down. I'll be done in a minute."
Jiang Qiao was quick and efficient at cooking, and before Ning Hao and the others had even had to wait long, the food was on the table. Ning Hao hadn't even finished preparing one piece of skin yet.
"Let's do it tomorrow. I can do it too. I'll do it tomorrow—"
Zhu Lin had already heard that the pelt was going to be given to the elderly couple, and the old lady was so happy that she kept admiring the wolf pelt.
"Oh my, this is good stuff. I heard it's especially good for people who aren't in good health to sleep on. Oh my, you two are so thoughtful."
Ning Hao sighed, "It's a pity there are only two. Grandma, once they're done, you can lay them out first. Later, when we get more, give one to my grandpa. This one is for an old friend of Jiang Qiao who is working on a rural renovation project."
When the topic came up, the old lady didn't hesitate for a moment. "I'm not in a hurry. How about we give that piece of leather away too? It's settled then. I'm comfortable at home no matter what. It's different for them. They come all this way, leaving their families behind. Sigh, I know how that feels. It's settled then."
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "No, Ning Hao, give these two to Grandpa and Grandma. I'll figure out a way later. We should prioritize our own use. There are so many people here. It's not appropriate to give them just to Grandpa Zuo. I didn't think of that before."
Ning Hao also realized what Jiang Qiao was worried about: it wasn't about the quantity but about the inequality.
"Okay, we can give it to the old man later when they rearrange things."
