Chapter 323: Lobster Fishing



Dr. Liu seemed to be deep in thought, and just as he was about to say something, he heard the sound of a tractor outside.

Qin Ye quickly got off the tractor, picked up Doctor Liu, and rushed out the door.

Qin Xiaoxiao ran after them, not forgetting to pull Mu Jin along.

"Brother, let Mu Zhiqing go with us. She knows medicine, and if anything happens on the way, she can handle it in time. You can't manage it all by yourself."

Qin Xiaoxiao pushed Mu Jin onto her and, without saying a word, pushed her onto the tractor.

Mu Jin was completely bewildered as Qin Xiaoxiao dragged and pushed her onto the tractor. Before she could even sit down properly, she heard Qin Feng shouting.

"How is Dr. Liu? Quick, Qin Ye, let's go right now."

As Qin Feng asked questions, he climbed onto the tractor with nimble movements, not at all like someone in their forties, which made Qin Xiaoxiao nod in approval.

Qin Ye pulled the handbrake and sped off. "It's alright for now. Ask Mu Zhiqing; she's the one who bandaged up Doctor Liu."

Qin Feng then looked at Mu Jin sitting opposite him with surprise. Seeing her sitting calmly next to Doctor Liu, supporting Doctor Liu's leg with her hand and trying to keep his leg still to avoid further injury, he knew that Mu Jin knew some medical skills.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know what the group talked about along the way. She stood at the village entrance, waving her handkerchief at the tractor, and only returned to the educated youth settlement with a sigh after everyone had disappeared from sight.

From now on, Mu Jin's life will go smoothly, and she will soon be with Xiao Nanfeng.

Thinking of Xiao Nanfeng, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think of the old people living at the foot of Mao'er Mountain.

Although she was familiar with the plot and knew that these people would all rise to high positions in the future, she never thought of currying favor with them to change her own situation. This was because these people were set up for Mu Jin. If she got close to them and stole the female lead's opportunities, who knows how God would punish her? If she were a supporting female character, it would be fine, but she was just cannon fodder. She didn't have that much luck. For the sake of her own life, she should just honestly survive until the end.

Qin Xiaoxiao squinted and looked in the direction of Mao'er Mountain.

At this point, the male protagonist, Xiao Nanfeng, had already made connections with those elderly people and received their care, so their lives should be much better in the next two years.

After some quick calculations, there are still more than two years until dawn. With Xiao Nanfeng and Mu Jin's protagonist aura, those old people should be able to live safely until that day.

Qin Xiaoxiao felt relieved and happily went into the space to prepare a meal.

She plans to prepare more food in preparation for a future pregnancy.

She's already married, so she'll get pregnant sooner or later. Su Lu has to drive around and rarely has time to be home. She'll definitely be too lazy to cook while she's pregnant. If she doesn't like the smell of cooking oil in the early stages, she's afraid she won't even be able to eat. So, she should be a little more diligent now so she can have a hot meal.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't leave the space until after four o'clock in the afternoon. After washing off the smell of cooking oil, Qin Xiaoxiao went to inspect her own private plot of land in a good mood.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, and chives are growing well, and eggplants and green beans are ready to eat. A row of edamame in the corner looks so green it makes my mouth water; we can cook them for dinner tonight.

After browsing through her storage space, Qin Xiaoxiao found several cases of high-end red wine. She decided to open a bottle that evening and drink it with Su Lu.

With edamame, peanuts are a must, and grilled skewers are even more essential. If you add some crayfish, life would be absolutely wonderful.

She had crayfish in her storage space, but they were leftovers and there weren't many left, so she was a little reluctant to part with them.

Touching her chin, Qin Xiaoxiao recalled that when she was a child, Qin Ye had taken her and Qin Wei to the river to catch crayfish. However, at that time, they didn't know how to eat them, thinking that the shells were too hard and there wasn't much meat, so they didn't catch many. Now that she thought about it, it was such a waste!

If Qin Wei were here, she would have free labor available.

Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head, turned around and entered the courtyard. She closed the door and went into her space. After searching for a long time, she finally found a fishing rod in a corner. Then she found an ear of corn, removed the kernels, cut them into small pieces, mixed them with fish powder, thought for a moment, and then cut some minced meat and mixed it together. She put it in a small bowl.

After getting ready, Qin Xiaoxiao left the space, took her fishing rod to the ditch, found a spot with lush aquatic plants, sat on a small stool, and began fishing for crayfish.

Qin Xiaoxiao was lucky; she caught seven or eight crayfish in less than half an hour. But she wasn't satisfied and frowned as she pondered.

Only a few fish caught in half an hour, enough for whoever wants to eat?

No, she needs to find help.

As Qin Xiaoxiao was thinking, she was suddenly drawn by a burst of laughter.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked up and saw a group of six- or seven-year-old boys playing naked in the ditch. Among these children, a familiar figure suddenly caught Qin Xiaoxiao's eye.

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she raised her hand to greet him.

"Qin Ergou, come here."

Qin Ergou, who was having fun with his friends not far away, turned around and saw Qin Xiaoxiao smiling and waving at him.

Qin Ergou quickly ran over, "Miss, what are you doing here?"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smile, "Ergou, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Qin Ergou tilted his head. "What kind of help do you need, Miss?"

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled like a little fox, "I want to eat crayfish from the river, just like this."

She pushed the bucket next to her forward so that Qin Ergou could see more clearly what was in it.

"I can't catch all of these by myself. Look, I've been fishing for half an hour and this is all I've caught. It's not enough to eat at all. So I'd like to ask you to help me fish. I can trade you some fruit candy for two crayfish. How about it?"

Qin Ergou's eyes lit up. "Really? Two crayfish for one fruit candy?"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, "Of course, when has your sister ever lied to you?"

Because Qin Xiaoxiao had saved Qin Ergou, Qin Ergou trusted her completely, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell them and come over to help my sister catch crayfish in a bit."

After Qin Ergou finished speaking, he turned and ran, shouting as he ran, "Quick, quick, everyone stop playing! The young lady said she wants us to help her catch crayfish, and she'll exchange two for a fruit candy."

Upon hearing this, the children immediately erupted in excitement, running towards Qin Xiaoxiao while shouting, "Really? Er Gouzi, did you hear that right? Two crayfish for a piece of fruit candy?"

"You heard me right, the young lady told me herself."

The children all forgot about playing and ran to Qin Xiaoxiao's side to confirm.

After receiving Qin Xiaoxiao's affirmation, the children ran to the riverbank, lined up, and bent down to catch crayfish in the water plants.

Qin Xiaoxiao found it fascinating, but she didn't forget to remind the children to be careful and not to go into the middle of the river to avoid accidents.

The children agreed as they touched the earth, some even running to the edge of the field to find earthworms, which are the best "helper" for catching crayfish. (End of Chapter)
