Chapter 219 Convinced
Lin Qi grew medicine, which was something Lu Huazhang didn't expect.
"I've planted some, but they don't seem to be very effective." Lin Qi was a little confused. "Ephedra and Atractylodes seem to be effective. You can take these two first. Go back and ask the doctor how to take the medicine. I'll give you some Dendrobium as well. It is said that people in the capital like to use it to make tea."
"Sister Qiqi, you have Dendrobium, please give me some too." When Ning Yu heard the word Dendrobium, he immediately stopped looking at the Dahongpao tea tree.
"Give me some too." Ye Ye also spoke up, and said, "How much Da Hong Pao tea do you have left? I'll exchange something with you."
Lin Qi shook her head. "There is only one tea tree, and there isn't much tea left."
Ye Ye felt a little regretful. "Next time you make tea, leave some for me. I'll find it for you if you want anything."
Ning Yu raised his hand, "And me, leave some for me too."
Lin Qi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but each person can only get one or two taels at most, no more. I don't want anything else, just give me the cloth coupons in exchange."
They had four children and needed to prepare clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter. The cloth coupons they were given every month were simply not enough.
"Sister Qiqi, I don't want tea. I want your family's rice, flour, vegetables, and sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes you grow are so delicious. There's hardly a day in the past year that I haven't missed them." Lu Huazhang was telling the truth. After living in the countryside for a few years, the only thing he missed was those sweet potatoes.
Ye Ye and Ning Yu were surprised after hearing what Lu Huazhang said. They were just sweet potatoes. What was there to miss?
However, Lu Huazhang did not explain to the two of them. Since no one was competing with him for it, he could get more by himself.
On that day, Lu Huazhang and the other two took away a lot of things from Lin Qi's house. Lu Huazhang took the most, including medicinal herbs, fruits and vegetables, Lin Qi's own brewed wine, rice, flour and sweet potatoes.
"Your grandfather holds such a high position, how come your family still lacks these things?" Ye Ye was puzzled.
"What do you know? The food in her house is delicious." Lu Huazhang was carrying a large backpack and eating grapes one by one.
Ning Yu was also eating grapes and nodded in agreement, "It's really delicious. These grapes are better than the special ones. They are sweet and have no residue. I'll bring some to Wushuang later."
Ye Ye rolled his eyes, "You've been married for more than half a year, and you're still so clingy."
"What do you know? That's the person I've been thinking about for so many years. Let alone half a year, even if it's five or ten years, I won't get tired of him."
"Okay, I don't understand. Anyway, I can't marry the person I've always wanted."
"Ye Ye, if you can't control your emotions, I won't dare take you with me next time I go to Lin Qi's place." Lu Huazhang said seriously.
Ye Ye sighed, "Okay, I get it. I'll go on a blind date when I get back and get married by the end of the year."
"Brother Huazhang, I'm going to your house for dinner tonight." Ning Yu said suddenly.
"Are you sure you want to come? My grandfather will be back for dinner tonight." His grandfather knew that he came to see Lin Qi today, so he would definitely come back to ask.
"Forget it then." Ning Yu immediately changed his words.
"If we can't go tonight, there's still tomorrow," Ye Ye said.
"I will come to visit Lin Qi formally tomorrow afternoon and also meet Lin Qi's lover, so I will not be at home tomorrow."
"Lin Qi's lover? I want to see him, too."
"Okay. After meeting Xu Hexiao, you will be outshined. It's time to give up. You can also spar with him. That way you will give up faster."
"Heh, as someone who comes from a small place, I don't believe that I am inferior to him."
In the hospital, more than twenty people gathered in the corridor with complicated expressions. On the one hand, they were happy that there was nothing wrong with their bodies; on the other hand, because nothing could be found, they had no evidence and could not do anything to Lin Qi.
Just let Lin Qi go like this?
Then wouldn’t all the suffering they endured today be in vain?
They have never been so embarrassed as they are today!
But they were not happy to be the enemy of Lin Qi. That woman was a bit weird. She could definitely kill them quietly without anyone finding any evidence!
They found that they had no choice but to give up.
When Xu Hexiao came home from get off work in the afternoon, he discovered changes in his home as soon as he entered the door - except for the tea trees and medicinal herbs, all the fruits and vegetables in the house were gone, completely gone, not a single one was left.
Seeing this scene, Xu Hexiao hurriedly quickened his pace. Only when he saw Lin Qi giving several children a bath did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Is there anyone coming to our house today?" Xu Hexiao squatted in front of the wooden tub and helped to bathe the children.
Several children were slapping the water with their hands. When they saw their father coming, they slapped even harder and more happily.
"A group of people came and said someone reported us for raising deer at home."
"The people who know that we raise deer at home should be the neighbors on both sides." His family has no conflicts with the neighbors on both sides, but he will not give up suspicion of the neighbors. Nowadays, there are countless examples of reporting, and strangers may report each other. He suspects that the food in his family is too delicious, which makes the neighbors jealous.
"I also suspect it's the neighbors." Lin Qi said, turning her head to look at the walls on both sides. "It should be the neighbors on the left and right. I plan to plant vines with thorns on the walls tonight. Next time someone dares to climb on our wall, let them learn a lesson."
The houses did not share a common wall, so Lin Qi covered her own wall with thorny vines, and the neighbors on both sides could do nothing about it.
Of course, if the people from the street office want to take care of it, then we will wait until they arrive.
"You can make those vines full of thorns, but without leaves, and with a lighter color, so that no one will notice unless they look closely."
"No leaves? I'll try, but I may not succeed."
After giving the child a bath, Xu Hexiao went to cook dinner, while Lin Qi was studying how to make the vines grow thorns instead of leaves. When it was time for dinner, Lin Qi remembered that she had forgotten to mention that Lu Huazhang was coming home today.
When Xu Hexiao heard the three words "Lü Huazhang", his mind was blank for a moment. After a few seconds, he matched the name with the corresponding appearance.
Although it has been less than a year, Xu Hexiao has the illusion that life in Yao County seems to be a thing of the past life.
"How is he now?" In Xu Hexiao's memory, Lu Huazhang was skinny, dark and thin. Except for his conversation which showed that he had received a good education since childhood, everything else was no different from other villagers.
"It should be pretty good. I've become whiter and fatter. I look a lot younger and more confident than before."
The next afternoon, Lv Huazhang, Ning Yu and Ye Ye came to Lin Qi's house again. Unlike yesterday, all three of them brought gifts today. Lv Huazhang brought the most, eight rolls of fabric alone. In addition to fabric, he also brought wool and a lot of high-end snacks.
Ning Yu gave the children several sets of ready-made clothes and also brought two roast ducks.
Ye Ye brought a radio.
As soon as they arrived, Xu Hexiao also came back.
The moment they saw Xu Hexiao, Ning Yu and Ye Ye's pupils shrank. This was really a country boy, so why did they feel like they saw a soldier king? A vague sense of oppression came from him, making people afraid.
At this moment, they finally believed what Lu Huazhang said, that this Xu Hexiao was extraordinary.
Not only is she better looking than them, she is also a lot taller than them.
Tsk, that’s not cool, they have to look up to each other.
"Hexiao, I haven't seen you for a year. I almost didn't recognize you." Lu Huazhang came up and gave Xu Hexiao a hug. For a moment, he was filled with emotion. He and Xu Hexiao were both different now.
At this time, Xu Hexiao was wearing well-tailored clothes, which made his figure look even more slender. After losing his status as a member of the "five black categories", he seemed to have thrown away his shackles, and his whole person was like a sword out of its sheath, shining brightly and unstoppable.
Xu Hexiao also hugged Lu Huazhang tightly, "Congratulations."
"Congratulations." Lu Huazhang let the man go, rubbed his chest which was a little painful from being squeezed, and said helplessly, "Have you become stronger?"
Xu Hexiao did not deny it, "I box every day."
"Practice boxing every day? What a coincidence, I also practice boxing every day. How about we have a sparring match?" Ye Ye was eager to try, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
Xu Hexiao looked at Ye Ye, then at Lu Huazhang, "How strong is your friend?"
Lu Huazhang covered his face, "His name is Ye Ye, and that one is Ning Yu. Their strength is average in the military. Don't use your full strength, or they won't be able to resist."
Xu Hexiao nodded, "Okay, I know."
Ye Ye couldn't take it anymore, "Brother Hua Zhang, what's wrong with you? We haven't even started the competition yet, can't you have a little confidence in me?"
Lu Huazhang shook his head. "I'm doing this for your own good. You'll know in a moment. Okay, let's retreat. You guys stop when you're done."
After Xu Hexiao came back, Lin Qi went to the kitchen. At this point, Lu Huazhang and the other two were likely to stay for dinner.
In addition to the two roast ducks that Ning Yu brought back, Lin Qi also killed a rabbit weighing 14 or 15 jin, planning to make a cold rabbit. After killing the rabbit, Lin Qi went to the paddy field behind the house to catch a fish. After raising it for three months, the largest fish weighed 4 or 5 jin, which was perfect for braising.
Three meat dishes, a laver and egg drop soup, two stir-fried greens, and finally a smashed cucumber. You can also have a bowl of pickled radish.
Thinking that Ye Ye was Lu Huazhang's friend, Xu Hexiao only used 50% of his strength. However, with only 50%, Ye Ye was still beaten so badly that he had almost no ability to fight back.
Ye Ye was beaten until he was convinced.
Forget it. No matter how beautiful Lin Qi is, he dare not dream of her. He is not as good as Xu Hexiao.
"Stop, I give up!" Ye Ye said, breathing heavily.
"Ye Ye, look at you, you are so tired, but Xu Hexiao's breathing is not disordered at all, and he hasn't even shed a drop of sweat." Ning Yu criticized Ye Ye.
Ye Ye glanced at Ning Yu and said, "If you can do it, do it yourself."
Ning Yu admitted defeat directly, "I can't do it. I think Xu Hexiao hasn't used his full strength yet. Excuse me, how much strength did you use?"
"Fifty percent." Xu Hexiao replied.
hiss--
Ning Yu and Ye Ye widened their eyes and asked in shock, "Only 50%?"
So what does it look like to use all your strength?
"He Xiao can kill a wolf with one punch, what do you think?" Lu Huazhang said with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart, if you knew that Lin Qi is more powerful than Xu Hexiao, wouldn't your eyes fall out?
