Chapter 154 Who are you here for?
Xu Hexiao didn't look away until Lin Qi entered the forest. He thought Lin Qi would secretly send him something at night, but he never thought she would come openly.
A warm current surged in Xu Hexiao's chest, and the heat flowed to every corner of his body, warming his entire body.
"That person just now was Qiqi, right?" Old Yi asked in a low voice.
Xu Hexiao hummed, "It's her."
Lao Yi smiled brightly, "What a good girl who values friendship and loyalty."
Xu Hexiao hummed again, "She is."
"When you become rich in the future, don't treat the girl unfairly." Old Yi warned seriously. He had seen too many ungrateful people and was afraid that Xu Hexiao would go down that path.
"I can't." Xu Hexiao was more serious than Lao Yi.
"I don't think you would dare to do that." Lao Yi smiled. "She is so powerful. If you bully her, be careful that she will beat you to death."
Xu Hexiao's mouth twitched, "You seem to be happy about her beating me?"
Old Yi smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and he agreed.
Xu Hexiao: “….”
When Lin Qi set out from Anliang Brigade, she only brought a sweet potato vine with her. She ran all the way through the mountains and found this place in just one hour.
The wild boar was caught on the road, the baskets and shoulder poles were made temporarily in the mountains, and the two baskets of sweet potatoes were also grown in the mountains.
This time, the sweet potatoes she grew were not too big. Each one was only the size of an adult man. They were easily cooked when placed over the fire.
The two secretaries stood in front of Lin Qi's two large baskets, looking at the smooth and beautiful sweet potatoes in the baskets, and they were actually a little envious.
“This sweet potato looks delicious.”
"It looks good. This basket must weigh about 130 to 140 kilograms. Did she carry it all the way from the Anliang Brigade?"
"What else could it be? She didn't ride a bike, but she carried it here on her shoulders. Her physical strength is truly amazing. I'm beginning to believe the legends about her."
"Was she just about to carry a wild boar?"
"Yes. He also said he would give us some meat."
The two officers saw the expectation in each other's eyes.
Lin Qi didn't let the two officers wait for long. In less than ten minutes, she carried a wild boar out of the mountain. The wild boar was very big, and the slender Lin Qi was not as big as the wild boar.
But she still walked vigorously while carrying the wild boar that was twice her size, and in the blink of an eye she arrived in front of the two officers from the foot of the mountain.
With a bang, Lin Qi threw the wild boar to the ground.
"Please help me find some hay. I want to singe the wild boar's hair. In order not to let you work in vain, I will give you ten pounds of meat, five pounds each." Lin Qi said.
The two secretaries looked at each other, silently went to collect hay, and silently helped Lin Qi burn the pig hair.
After the pig hair was cooked, Lin Qi asked again, "Where is the clean water source?"
"Over there." The clerk pointed Lin Qi in the direction.
When Xu Hexiao and others got off work, Lin Qi had already cleaned the wild boar and put the internal organs and other things aside. At this time, she was distributing the meat to the two staff members.
Lin Qi gave them five kilograms per person, and she gave each of them an extra pig ear.
"Find some hay to tie it up yourselves. It's getting late, you should go back first." Lin Qi said, as if she was the master of this place.
The two officers took the meat and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who are you here for?"
"Xu Hexiao, he is my neighbor. Please help take care of him." Lin Qi said as a matter of course.
The two secretaries looked at each other and understood what was in each other's eyes - it turned out that Lin Qi came here to chase Xu Hexiao, and they were dating?
But Xu Hexiao does look like a decent person, so it's normal for Lin Qi to fall in love with him.
The two officials agreed to Xu Hexiao's request, took the meat, and rode away on their bicycles.
"These are pig heads and pig stomachs. Put them in the pot and make some soup." Lin Qi instructed Xu Hexiao.
Xu Hexiao's eyes had never left Lin Qi. After hearing her words, he turned around and went back to work.
The people present looked at Lin Qi curiously, looking at the big wild boar in front of her, their eyes glowing green.
"Come here and line up. Each of you will get one pound of meat." Lin Qi said.
What?
The people present couldn't believe their ears. How could such a good thing happen?
Just when others were hesitating, Jiang Wanwan was the first to step forward, "Lin Qi, thank you."
Lin Qi didn't say anything, but cut a piece of meat and handed it to Jiang Wanwan. Jiang Wanwan took it and clearly felt that the meat in her hand should be more than one pound, probably about one and a half pounds.
Jiang Wanwan was secretly delighted, thinking that this was Lin Qi's special care for her. However, the second person who went up to get the meat also took about the same weight as her, and the third, fourth, and fifth were the same.
All right.
Jiang Wanwan laughed at herself in her heart. She had excluded Lin Qi and tried to steal Lin Qi's man. It was good enough that Lin Qi didn't beat her. She should be secretly happy that she was willing to share her meat. It would be too greedy to ask for anything else.
Half an hour later, everyone received the meat, and Lin Qi heard no less than hundreds of thanks.
Xu Hexiao brought a bowl of hot water to Lin Qi and said, "Thank you."
What is worrying is not the lack of food, but the inequality of food. If he eats meat every day, while others cannot even have enough porridge, he will definitely be tripped up by others, isolated, reported... and will have countless troubles.
She wanted to give him some meat, but she had to give some to everyone present.
Lin Qi took the bowl, raised her head and drank it all, then said, "I have to go back. I'll come back the day after tomorrow."
"So soon! Have dinner before going back?" Xu Hexiao felt a little reluctant.
Lin Qi shook her head and whispered, "I feel like my period is coming."
Xu Hexiao's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He disagreed and said, "You just touched the cold water. You should leave those tasks to me."
"I suddenly felt it was coming." Lin Qi explained.
A trace of heartache flashed across Xu Hexiao's eyes, "Then don't come the day after tomorrow, come back in three days, I still have enough things."
Lin Qi thought about it and agreed, "Okay."
Xu Hexiao sent Lin Qi to the foot of the mountain and asked, "How long will it take you to get back from here at your speed?"
"I wasn't familiar with the road when I came, so it took me an hour. It should only take 40 minutes to go back," Lin Qi replied.
When Xu Hexiao heard that it wouldn't take long, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Be careful on the road, and get more rest when you get back."
After seeing Lin Qi off, when Xu Hexiao returned to the fire, many people came up to him to ask about Lin Qi and their relationship. Xu Hexiao followed Lin Qi's words, saying that they were just neighbors, and didn't say anything else.
Because Lin Qi distributed the meat, everyone's impression of Xu Hexiao became even better, and there was a subtle trend of Xu Hexiao taking the lead.
In addition to distributing the meat, Xu Hexiao also distributed the sweet potatoes that Lin Qi brought, one to each person. After distributing them to everyone, there were still more than twenty left in the basket.
"Why don't you go and persuade him this time?" Lao Bi pushed Lao Yi.
Old Yi sipped his soup. "I can see that neither Ah He nor Qi Qi cares about these supplies. Since they don't care, I don't bother to care. If we follow Ah He, he will never let us starve."
"Oh, it seems to be true. They really don't care about these things, no matter if it's food or meat. For example, of the ten wolves they killed a few days ago, they asked for seven wolf skins, but didn't care about the meat. This is the first time I've seen someone so generous." Lao Bi sighed.
"In fact, they may not be doing a favor. Being more generous to the members of the Anliang Brigade and these people now can make Ah He's situation better. I have to say that Lin Qi has good intentions for Ah He." Old Yi sighed.
In this world, it is very difficult to have such feelings.
Because Lin Qi had distributed meat to everyone the day before, Xu Hexiao did not cook sugar porridge for everyone the next day. He started cooking again on the third day. He also cooked on the fourth day, keeping the amount of one pot at noon and one pot at night.
Three days later, Lin Qi came again. This time, she came earlier, in the morning.
She still came over with two baskets of things on her shoulder, and then went to the mountains to carry out the prey she had hunted on the way, this time a wild boar, two hares, and four pheasants.
The amount of meat distributed this time was similar to the last time, the only difference was that in addition to the five pounds of meat, the two officials each received an extra pheasant.
For lunch, we had mushroom chicken soup and spicy rabbit meat.
"This section of the river has been almost cleared. Next time you come, go over there. We will move the straw hut over there." Xu Hexiao pointed in a direction.
Lin Qi looked in the direction of his finger and nodded, "Okay, I know."
"Don't come here every day, it's too tiring." Although he wanted to see her, he couldn't bear to see her suffer so much.
"Not tired." Lin Qi was telling the truth. After running all this time, she still had some energy left, so she wasn't really tired. "There's nothing else to do in the team right now, and it's fine for me to stay in the team, so why not come and see you."
Lin Qi's words were straightforward, and Xu Hexiao felt so soft-hearted after hearing them that he wanted to hug her in his arms right then and there and kiss her red little lips.
Xu Hexiao took some effort to suppress the desire in his heart.
That day, Lin Qi stayed until the evening, cooked dinner for Xu Hexiao and the other three, and had dinner with them before going back.
The next morning she came again, but this time she didn't bring any prey. Instead, she brought a cloth bag of persimmon cakes, a cloth bag of dried fruits, and a sack of chestnuts.
Persimmon cakes, dried fruits and chestnuts are all produced in the growing area, and their taste is far superior to that of other places.
"The flesh of this persimmon cake is so thick! It's sweet and soft. I've never eaten such delicious persimmon cake."
"These raisins and dried hawthorns are also good. The flesh is very thick and you can tell that when they are fresh, the fruits should be very large."
"These chestnuts are very soft and sticky, and they are also very large. After roasting them over the fire for a while, the fragrance comes out, and they are very filling. My stomach was half full just now, but after eating a few chestnuts, I am now 70% full."
“........”
Sweets can make people feel better, and rare smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
Two officials not far away watched this scene with complicated expressions.
"Do you want to report it?" asked an officer.
"After reporting, we will still have wild boar meat to eat and delicious dried fruits?" another staff member asked back.
"Then don't report it. Come to think of it, even if we report it, what should we report? Lin Qi didn't break any laws or regulations. The regulations don't say that people are not allowed to send food to these bad guys."
"Lin Qi brought us food. No one fainted during the river cleaning this year. The work went smoothly and saved us a lot of trouble, so—"
“Not reported.”
