After returning home, the two froze the meat in a water tank in the yard. With nothing else to do, they went to the space.
The prey that Gu Nanxun put into his space the day before yesterday is still piled up in the warehouse. The two of them thought that they had nothing to do in the afternoon, so they might as well go into the space to process the prey.
Gu Nanxun received a total of 32 sheep, 15 pigs, one deer, one roe deer, and 5 rabbits from the space, which are currently piled up in the warehouse.
"Luckily, time is frozen in this space, so we can process it slowly. Otherwise, how long would it take to process so much prey!" Lin Qing said to Gu Nanxun while looking at the prey in front of her.
Gu Nanxun glanced at the experience bar on the system. "No rush. Our space will be upgraded to level 6 tonight, and then the processing workshop will be upgraded to level 2. Maybe we can process the prey then."
"Can I level up now?" Lin Qing asked, glancing at the experience bar in her spatial dimension. Sure enough, the bar was only 350 experience points away from being full.
"Finally, I can level up! Going from level 5 to level 6 was too slow," Lin Qing said with a sigh.
Gu Nanxun rubbed Lin Qing's head and said, "It will probably get slower and slower in the future, and you'll need more experience as you go on."
"Fortunately, we don't need to upgrade it as urgently as we used to." Lin Qing smiled as she thought of how she used to need the space to upgrade by 5 levels to heal Gu Nanxun's leg.
"Yes, so there's no rush."
"If I hadn't wanted to heal your leg before, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry. I didn't expect that before the space even reached level five, you would have already won the Marrow Cleansing Pill in the lottery."
As Lin Qing spoke, she unconsciously began to laugh. Gu Nanxun pulled Lin Qing into his arms and laughed as well. He also thought of the past, when his memory had not yet returned. He was filled with anxiety and uncertainty every day, wanting to get close to Lin Qing but also afraid to get close to her, living in a state of inner conflict.
"In that case, we should thank Chen Zhaodi! If she hadn't caused trouble, and then the gossip spread in the village, and Zhao Youcai hadn't misheard the gossip, you still might not have confessed your feelings to me!" Lin Qing said with a sigh.
"That's right. I had just made up my mind to pursue you when I heard Zhao Youcai tell me that you confessed to me in front of the whole village. I thought to myself, this won't do. I can't let the woman I love confess first. So I decided to confess to you that very day." Gu Nanxun nodded in agreement.
"What a wonderful misunderstanding!" Lin Qing said with a smile. She hadn't expected that Gu Nanxun would have such thoughts.
"That means we're destined to be together. Even those who don't get along with us are pushing us forward," Gu Nanxun said, patting Lin Qing's hair with a satisfied expression.
"Of course we're destined to be together. The life-sharing contract has such stringent conditions, yet we were able to fulfill them. Isn't that enough to prove we're destined to be together?"
Lin Qing sat on the sofa, swinging her legs as she spoke with a smug look on her face.
Gu Nanxun nodded seriously, "Yes, we are a match made in heaven."
"Hehehe... So what are we standing here for? Waiting for night?" Lin Qing was amused by Gu Nanxun and laughed for a long time before stopping, and then asked.
"Hmm, let's talk about it tonight! Anyway, these prey won't spoil here, no rush." Gu Nanxun lazily hugged Lin Qing. It was rare for him to be lazy and not want to go to work; he just wanted to cuddle with Lin Qing.
As the saying goes, a day apart feels like three autumns. The two hadn't seen each other for three days, which felt like three autumns. They lingered in the space until the afternoon before leaving to prepare dinner.
Today, Chaoyang Brigade was like celebrating the New Year. The village was filled with the rich aroma of meat. Every household was cooking meat at home. The children didn't play outside anymore. They sat by the fire early, staring longingly at the meat in the pot. Some of the greedy children cried and shouted for food even before the meat was cooked.
Lin Qing also made the mutton hot pot that she had been longing to eat. She put the mutton in the pot, added some simple seasonings, and then added some spiritual spring water. The aroma wafted far and wide, and the domineering fragrance covered the entire educated youth settlement.
The people at the educated youth settlement smelled the aroma wafting in the air, then looked at the meat in their own pots, and thought to themselves, "This same meat, yet the difference is so great."
"Binbin, let's go find Fourth Brother for dinner!" Wang Haoran looked at the meat in his hand, then sniffed the aroma in the air. After resisting for a while, he finally couldn't help but suggest to Chen Bin.
“We’ll bring the meat with us, so we won’t take advantage of Fourth Brother,” Wang Haoran added immediately after saying that.
Chen Bin glared at Wang Haoran and said, "Have we taken advantage of Fourth Brother enough already? Grab some meat and two bottles of wine, and go call Lu Xianghong and Xu Fengjiao too."
Upon hearing Chen Bin's words, Wang Haoran immediately jumped up, "Okay, I'll go right now!"
When Chen Bin and Wang Haoran went to find Lu Xianghong and Xu Fengjiao, Lu Xianghong and Xu Fengjiao were at home discussing going to Lin Qing's place for a free meal. Upon seeing the two of them, they didn't hesitate to take their share of meat and went to Lin Qing's house together.
"Qingqing, are you home? We're here!" Lin Qing's courtyard gate was open because Leiting and Shandian were playing outside. Xu Fengjiao walked to Lin Qing's gate and shouted loudly to Lin Qing before even entering the courtyard.
Lin Qing came out of the kitchen and immediately saw the four people carrying meat and wine. "What? You've come to ask me to be your chef again?" Lin Qing said jokingly.
When Xu Fengjiao saw Lin Qing, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face. She quickly walked towards Lin Qing, grabbed Lin Qing's arm, and said with a smile, "Isn't it because I'm craving Qingqing's cooking? The aroma of your cooking has even reached the educated youth settlement."
"Alright, come in! You're so sweet-talking." Lin Qing smiled and nudged Xu Fengjiao's arm, then pulled Lu Xianghong into the living room.
"You really know how to enjoy life. It's so convenient to separate the living room from the sleeping area." As soon as Lu Xianghong entered the living room, she felt a wave of warmth. There was a heated kang bed in the living room, and a stove next to it. The heated wall in the bedroom was also warm. The temperature in the room was so high that you would have to take off your clothes if you stayed there for a while.
Xu Fengjiao also curiously looked around Lin Qing's living room. Against the wall was a large kang (heated brick bed), covered with soft cushions and square pillows. In the center of the kang was a table large enough to seat seven or eight people. On the table was a plate of apples; the bright red apples looked quite tempting.
Xu Fengjiao swallowed hard, then looked at the cabinet against the wall on the right. There were two low cabinets on either side of the kang. In the middle of the room was a stove, and next to the stove were two stools. When she didn't want to sit on the kang, she could sit by the stove to warm herself.
This was the first time Lu Xianghong and Xu Fengjiao had visited Lin Qing's home in winter. They had previously come in the summer, and usually ate in the yard. Because of the snow, they hadn't come to visit Lin Qing, not wanting to disturb the young couple. This was their first time formally being guests in the living room.
