Chapter 155 Don't Blame Him
Lin Qi came to see Xu Hexiao every day, in the morning and went back after dinner. She brought different things every day, sometimes prey, sometimes dried fruits, sometimes sweet potatoes, taro, potatoes and the like, and once she brought two baskets of vegetables.
No matter what she brought, the quality and taste were very pleasantly surprising. The originally heavy and arduous work of cleaning the river did not seem so difficult to everyone because of Lin Qi's arrival.
On this day, Lin Qiru came out of the mountains carrying a basket as usual.
She put down the basket with ease, then looked for Xu Hexiao in the crowd. After finding Xu Hexiao, she started to get busy.
Two clerks came over to greet her, and not surprisingly, they were ordered by her to do things.
The two staff members were not angry, but felt that Lin Qi was not polite to them and treated them as her own people, and they felt an inexplicable sense of pride. Moreover, every time they helped, Lin Qi would not only give them food on the spot, but also give them some extra food to take home. During this period, they were able to bring something back every day, and the things they brought back were well received by their families.
Not only the people working here are looking forward to Lin Qi, they are also looking forward to it.
Lin Qi cooked two large pots of taro soup for everyone. Not only did she use the kitchen utensils of Xu Hexiao and the other three, she also requisitioned the kitchen utensils from next door.
Next to Xu Hexiao and his group's straw hut were three young men in their thirties. Their conditions were considered relatively good among the group, second only to Xu Hexiao and Lao Yi and a few others.
Lin Qi mentioned yesterday that she might use their kitchen utensils, and the three men told her to use them freely, not only the kitchen utensils, but also the daily necessities. If it were someone else, they would not say such words, but since it was Lin Qi who was being requisitioned, they wished that she could use them more.
Anyway, they had eaten so much of Lin Qi's food, so they were happy with how much she used.
And no matter how much Lin Qi used, she would return it to them double later.
Lin Qi had extremely precise control over time. When her sugar water was ready, it was also the time when Xu Hexiao and his group would get off work and have lunch.
As soon as everyone got off work, they ran to wash their hands. After washing their hands, they stared at Lin Qi with anticipation. It was not until Lin Qi asked them to get the bowls that they cheered and went to get the bowls.
Lin Qi did not share the food with them, allowing them to serve themselves freely, one bowl per person, and everyone was very conscientious.
There was endless praise, but Lin Qi's expression did not change at all, she was as calm as an exquisite doll.
"Are you tired?" Xu Hexiao secretly squeezed Lin Qi's hand.
Lin Qi shook her head, "I'm not tired, I'm just bored."
After Xu Hexiao came to clean the river, she felt bored. On weekdays, especially after returning home, the house was empty, as if she was empty too.
Lin Qi never thought that one day, someone would have such a great impact on her.
"Wait a little longer, it should take another ten days. I will go back to be with you after ten days." Xu Hexiao comforted softly.
These days, Xu Hexiao has been working very hard to finish the river cleaning work as soon as possible. He is the hardest working one among more than a hundred people, so hard that the other staff members have nothing to say.
"No rush, just take your time and don't exhaust yourself." These days when she came here, she didn't see him rest except for lunch and finishing work in the evening.
"I know my limits." Xu Hexiao squeezed Lin Qi's soft hand hard.
"He Xiao, Lin Qi, after the river cleaning work is finished, can we secretly go to Anliang Brigade to play with you?" Feng Zhen next door asked.
"Yes, let's go secretly and not be discovered." Luo An agreed.
"It's cold in winter and people don't go out much. Let's go from the mountains to wish Xu He and Lin Qi a happy new year." Lu Huazhang also said.
The three of them had even thought about how to find Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao, so it was obviously not a sudden whim.
Looking at their hopeful faces, Xu Hexiao suddenly couldn't bear to refuse. Just like him and his grandfather in the past, they only had each other for several years until Lin Qi appeared.
At the beginning, he and she were just friends, but even as friends, he still looked forward to seeing her every day.
Feng Zhen and his two companions have been in the countryside for five or six years. They have been staying in Jiu'an Brigade all year round. In the past, the commune had a big market, but starting this year, there is no big market anymore, and they have no reason to leave the brigade. A man in his thirties, detained in the brigade, has no hope of leaving. Even if he sneaks out, he has nowhere to go.
"Come if you want to. As long as you come to our team, we welcome you." Lin Qi said lightly.
With Lin Qi's agreement, Feng Zhen, Luo An and Lu Huazhang all laughed like children and joked, "It seems that it will be an adventurous journey."
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as Xu Hexiao expected, ten days later, the work of clearing the river was completed.
On this day, Lin Qi went out of her way to catch a family of wild boars in the morning. There were six in total, two large and four small.
Seeing so many wild boars, everyone except Xu Hexiao was stunned.
How is this done?
No one asked, but just stared at Lin Qi with curious eyes.
But Lin Qi didn't intend to give an answer. She said, "This is a farewell gift for everyone."
After saying that, she looked at the two officials again and said, "We want to go back from the mountains and not go to the commune, is that ok?"
It is morning now. It will take six or seven hours to get back to the commune from here and then back to Anliang Brigade from the commune. It is too long.
"Of course. In fact, everyone can go back to their respective teams now." said the secretary.
"But how are you going to divide these wild boars?" Another officer looked at so much pork, his eyes glowing green.
"Then give 50 kilograms to each of the two secretaries. The rest will be divided equally among the others." Lin Qi said, looking at Feng Zhen, Luo An and Lu Huazhang, "The task of dividing the pork is left to you three."
Feng Zhen swallowed and said, "No problem."
Lin Qi nodded, then looked at Xu Hexiao and simply packed up her things, "Let's go back."
Xu Hexiao went to the hut to pack up without saying a word.
Lao Yi and the other two were unwilling to give in. "We don't want all this pork."
"If you want, you can stay. Ah He and I will leave first." Lin Qi said.
Lao Yi and the other two immediately shook their heads, "Forget it then."
Jiang Wanwan on the side looked at Lin Qi, then at Xu Hexiao, bit her lip, and decided to take the pork before leaving.
There are six pigs, and each person should be able to get five to ten kilograms of pork, which is enough for her to eat until the New Year.
After her family was demoted, Jiang Wanwan's life became worse and worse. The few times she had eaten meat in the past year were all thanks to Lin Qi.
Even this time.
However, even though she had been enjoying Lin Qi's favor, Jiang Wanwan did not regret seducing Xu Hexiao.
What Xu Hexiao can bring to her is much more than what Lin Qi can give her!
It’s a pity that Xu Hexiao is unmoved and only has Lin Qi in his heart.
Lin Qi goes back and forth in the mountains every day, and has trampled traces of the mountain road. Even for someone of Lao Yi's age, it doesn't take much effort to walk.
It would only take her 40 minutes to walk by herself, but now she had to take into account the speed of Lao Yi and the other two. She stopped to rest twice along the way and it took her four hours to get back to the Anliang Brigade.
"You guys clean up the house first, I'll bring you some food later." Lin Qi said.
Lao Yi and the other two's eyes lit up and they thanked him repeatedly.
Xu Hexiao's house also needed to be cleaned up. Lin Qi wanted to help, but was rejected by Xu Hexiao, "It's too dusty. I can do it myself."
"Okay, then you clean up first. I'll go back and boil some water. When you're done, come over to my side and take a shower." Lin Qi said.
Xu Hexiao agreed, his eyes deepening, "My bedding is dirty and needs to be washed. I'll sleep at your place tonight."
It was not an inquiry but a notification, inexplicably invasive.
When Lin Qi met Xu Hexiao's eyes, her heart trembled and she felt inexplicably flustered.
Lin Qi went home and picked a basket of vegetables and a piece of smoked pork leg and gave them to Lao Yi and the other two.
After delivering the dishes, she started to boil water and prepare dinner for two.
When Xu Hexiao came up, Lin Qi's water was ready. "Go take a shower first, and then you can eat."
Xu Hexiao's bath took a long time. He scrubbed himself up and down two or three times. Only after he made sure he was clean did he come out of the bathroom.
"Your hair has grown a little longer." Lin Qi said. Xu Hexiao had been wearing a hat these days, and only now did she see his hair.
Xu Hexiao, covered in moisture, walked over, and Lin Qi felt inexplicably dry in the mouth.
Xu Hexiao seems particularly attractive like this.
During the dinner, Xu Hexiao kept his eyes on Lin Qi. Lin Qi, on the contrary, did not dare to look at Xu Hexiao and just focused on eating.
After taking a shower, Xu Hexiao took the initiative to take over the task of washing dishes and said to Lin Qi, "Go take a shower."
Lin Qi's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly looked up at Xu Hexiao. What were you going to do tonight? Are you so impatient?
Xu Hexiao bent down and pecked her on the face, "Be good, go take a shower. You haven't had a good rest these days, I want to hold you and have a good sleep."
Lin Qi nodded slowly, but felt a little disappointed. Was he just going to hold her and sleep?
Lin Qi took a shower and washed her hair, used her supernatural powers to dry her hair, and then walked towards the room with a fragrant smell. In the room, Xu Hexiao was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book. When he saw Lin Qi coming in, he immediately put the book down, stood up and walked towards Lin Qi.
The burning gaze almost burned Lin Qi to ashes.
The next second, Lin Qi was picked up by him, "her legs were wrapped around my waist."
Lin Qi did as she was told, and their eyes were level. Xu Hexiao's breathing was heavy. He put his big hand on the back of Lin Qi's head and pressed her towards him.
Lips and tongues entangled, breaths blending.
Lin Qi, a superpower, was so breathless from the kiss that she almost couldn't breathe.
Xu Hexiao seemed to be able to do it with ease. He supported his body with one hand and stroked Lin Qi's red eyes and rubbed her rosy and plump lips with the other hand. A voice in his heart clamored to eat her, and the last bit of his sanity was shaky.
Lin Qi felt his murderous gaze and swallowed nervously, "I'll help you?"
boom!
The string that had been kept taut broke.
Xu Hexiao narrowed his eyes dangerously. It was she who took the initiative, so it was not his fault!
