Chapter 81: Human Heart
Song Ruize walked to the front of the tent and was about to lift the curtain and go in when he heard a familiar voice.
"Yang Baotou, your handwriting is really good. As the saying goes, a person's handwriting reflects his character. From your handwriting, I can tell that you are a straightforward leader."
"It would be great if my brother was as capable as you. Look at my brother, he's not good at talking, he's not good at being a good person, and he's not likable. He's not as capable as Yang Baotou. So many people listen to you. Not only can you manage things, but you can also control your subordinates."
"This is something my family made. It's all made from things picked in the mountains, and it's not worth much. I thought there are so many of you, and I certainly can't take care of so many people in terms of food, so I made some seasoning. This mushroom and minced meat sauce can not only be mixed with rice and noodles, but can also be mixed directly into dishes for seasoning."
"This is braised meat. Try it. If you like it, I'll bring it back next time."
"Yang Baotou, don't you have any days off here? If we keep working, then won't everyone be able to reunite with their families until the dam is built? You have to take care of so many people, and be both a father and a mother, it must be very hard!"
…
Qin Huiyin's voice was clear and pleasant, as sweet as a magpie, and full of joy. Even a man who was not good at speaking could not keep a cold face.
Yang Baotou's voice came out: "You are such a talkative girl. You haven't stopped since you came in. Song Ruize is really your brother, how come he doesn't look like you at all?"
"One is like the father, the other is like the mother!" Qin Huiyin said, "Yang Baotou, my brother is a stubborn person. If he offends you, can you just ignore him?"
"Haha..." Yang Baotou laughed, "You are such an interesting girl."
Song Ruize: “…”
The door curtain opened, and the person who had just notified him came out. Seeing him standing at the door, he said unhappily, "Just come in if you're here. Do you need someone to invite you in?"
Song Ruize already knew what they had called him to do, but he didn't really want to go in.
He looked down at his clothes, speechless.
The most important thing is that he was shirtless, bare-chested. Wasn't it a bit inappropriate to appear in front of a girl like this? Not to mention that they were not siblings, even if they were, how could a brother be so naked in front of his sister?
He felt a little scared and took a few steps back uncontrollably.
Seeing that he was dawdling, the man pushed him inside and said, "Your sister is here to see you, why are you dawdling? Hurry up, we still have work to do."
Song Ruize was pushed into the tent.
As soon as he entered, Yang Baotou and Qin Huiyin looked up at him.
Yang Baotou's face darkened.
Qin Huiyin observed carefully and a look of "as expected" flashed in her eyes.
Just now, she met Yang Baotou through the relationship of the yamen runner. When he learned that she was Song Ruize's sister, Yang Baotou's face was not good. However, because the yamen runner brought her here personally, he couldn't just drive her out. As soon as the yamen runner left, Yang Baotou found an excuse that she couldn't see outsiders and wanted to send her away. She flattered him to ease the atmosphere.
At that time, she suspected that Song Ruize had offended this person. Now seeing the reactions of the two people, she knew that her guess was correct. This Song Ruize really didn't know how to behave. No wonder he encountered all kinds of "weirdos" along the way, unlike Tang Yichen, who had "weirdos" on his growth path, but every time he encountered a small monster, he would meet a noble person to help him.
Qin Huiyin took out another can of mushroom sauce from her bag and placed it in front of Yang Baotou, opened the lid, and let the aroma drift into Yang Baotou's nose.
Yang Baotou smelled the fragrance and salivated. When he looked at Song Ruize again, he found that this boy didn't seem so annoying. After all, he was lucky to have a sister who knew how to behave.
In addition, he had deliberately tormented him these past few days, but the latter did not resist and completed his daily tasks very well. With this in mind, his previous anger had also subsided a lot.
"You and your sister haven't seen each other for a long time. Find a place to talk!" Yang Baotou was merciful and tacitly agreed to their reunion.
"Uncle Yang, you are such a kind and generous dam leader. No wonder you are the dam leader out of so many people. You are so popular among the people, you will definitely rise to a higher position."
"Keep your voice down." Yang Baotou raised his lips, "It's time for a break, you can talk slowly, no need to rush back."
"Thank you, Uncle Yang. Next time I'll bring you a better sauce to change your taste."
"Alright, alright, let's go!"
After leaving the tent, Qin Huiyin handed him the backpack.
"These are all prepared for you. There are three packages of braised meat. Share them with your friends! The other jars are all sauces. You can add some to your meal to season it." Qin Huiyin said, "We don't have clay pots at home. Next time, we will use clay pots so that the food can be stored longer. Don't keep these for too long. Share them with your friends!"
Qin Huiyin looked at Song Ruize who was silent: "You... have friends, right?"
Song Ruize raised his eyes but didn't take her things.
"It's very heavy. Can you take it? I've been carrying it for so long that my shoulders are all rubbed raw." Qin Huiyin frowned and looked bitter.
Song Ruize took it.
The bitterness on Qin Huiyin's face disappeared, and she smiled: "I was kidding you. Third Grandpa drove the ox cart to send me to the door, and I was not so squeamish for the remaining few steps."
Song Ruize looked at her with a complicated expression: "Why?"
"Why so many whys?" Qin Huiyin tilted her head to look at him, "Do you have anything else to gain from me?"
Yes, but I can’t tell him.
This person is very defensive and doesn't trust others easily.
However, even if she told him, he wouldn't believe it!
If she said that she was so nice to him, it was not only because he was the villain that she felt particularly sorry for when she read the book, but also because she wanted to change her and her mother's fate of being cannon fodder.
If he didn't believe it, he would think she was crazy, and he wouldn't pay attention to a lunatic. If he believed it, he might kill the mother and daughter first and let them get their lunch boxes in advance.
The protagonist has the protagonist's halo, the villain has the villain's halo, and she, the little cannon fodder, just has to cling to the protagonist and the villain and live in love with them as a family to save her life.
Song Ruize thought about it and didn't think there was anything else he could do to the mother and daughter.
If it was for money, he knew that they were doing business, and they were selling well and making a lot of money. The little money he earned from hunting should not be enough for them to do such good things.
Then, there was really no gain from her being nice to him, and that was the scariest thing.
He didn't seem to need such extra care.
"Song Ruize, you don't have to think so much. I'm good to you, just accept it, I don't need you to return the favor." Qin Huiyin said.
"Okay." Song Ruize lowered his eyes.
He also wanted to see how long she was going to finish this drama of brotherly love. Maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, she would get tired of it and would not appear in front of him anymore.
