Chapter 66 Agree to Help
The main road cannot lead directly to Lin Qi's house. When Aliang's father stopped the car, it was still more than 100 meters away from Lin Qi's house. Lin Qi didn't need his help and unloaded all the things from the car in two or three steps.
Aliang's father held the cow rope, looking a little uneasy, "I didn't help at all, but you gave -"
By addressing a junior as "you", this man lowers himself to the dust.
"If you don't go with me, Uncle Luo, who will help me watch the car? Do I have to take the cow to the supply and marketing cooperative?" Lin Qi interrupted him and winked at him mischievously, "I need your help with something right now."
"What's the matter?" Aliang's father really thought that Lin Qi had something to entrust to him, and he was a little excited.
"Please help me return the car to the captain. I need to move things back and I'm too busy." Lin Qi said seriously.
Aliang’s father: “….”
Aliang's father led the ox cart away. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back. He saw the girl carrying a huge backpack and a large water jar in each hand. She walked lightly along the irregular path towards the newly built house.
At first, everyone in the team actually believed that she was a ghost. How could there be such a kind ghost?
Aliang's father shook his head and continued walking towards the brigade office with the ox cart.
The brigade office and the brigade warehouse are only a few meters apart. They used to be the Xu family's houses, but now they have become the brigade's property.
Captain Luo Feng was receiving guests in his office. As soon as Aliang's father approached, he heard the captain's helpless voice, "I didn't lie to you. She's really not here. She went to town."
"Then I'll wait here for her to come back." Lao Gao said, "I came here with the hopes of our entire team, I can't let our team members down!"
After arriving at the Anliang Brigade, he realized that the person who could hunt was actually a young girl, and she was also a girl who knew martial arts. This answer was magical. But he asked his relatives in the Anliang Brigade and found out that the person who hunted the ten wolves was indeed Lin Qi, and it was not ten wolves, but fifteen!
With such strength, Lao Gao felt more and more that he had come to the right place.
Girls are good. Girls are soft-hearted. When the time comes, he will risk his reputation and cry. He doesn't believe that she won't be soft-hearted.
"Captain, I'm here to return the car." Aliang's father shouted outside the door.
"Is it her? She's back?" Before Luo Feng could say anything, Lao Gao stood up and walked out the door. When he saw Aliang's father, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, "Where's Lin Qi?"
Aliang's father didn't answer Lao Gao, but said to the captain, "The things have been bought. Lin Qi sent the things home, and let me return the car."
"I'm glad you're back. Did everything go well?" the team leader asked, but his eyes were fixed on the incredibly large oil-paper bag in Aliang's father's hand.
"It went smoothly." Aliang's father answered and opened the oil paper package. He had never opened the oil paper on the way back, so he was not sure what was inside. However, he saw that there were more than 40 meat buns in Lin Qi's oil paper package.
He suspected that Lin Qi had bought up all the meat buns in the state-owned restaurant!
Along the way, he walked behind the ox cart and watched Lin Qi eat ten meat buns.
He thought that his portion should also be meat buns, or even if not meat buns, it should be something like steamed buns. He had never eaten meat buns, but he had heard that they were delicious. As for steamed buns, the last time he had one was four years ago.
A few years ago, it was good enough to have wild vegetable cakes to eat, so he never dared to think about steamed buns.
Aliang's father carefully opened the oilcloth and saw the plump meat buns inside. His eyes moistened, "It's meat buns. Lin Qi bought two. Give me one."
Gulu——
I couldn't tell whether it was the sound of swallowing saliva or the sound of my stomach growling.
Luo Feng waved at the other party, "Since it was given to you by Lin Qi, just keep it. She has always been generous, so you don't have to feel any burden."
Aliang's father nodded, took out two from the box and put them in the captain's arms, "Try one too."
After saying that, Aliang's father turned around and strode away.
"Hey, hey, hey, there's another person here, can't you see him?" Lao Gao shouted at Aliang's back.
After he shouted, Aliang's father ran faster.
"Your team member is not good. He has no eyesight at all." Lao Gao said, and turned to look at Luo Feng, only to see that Luo Feng was hiding the buns in his arms.
"Don't think about taking my buns. I'm leaving them for my grandson," said the captain.
Lao Gao: “…”
There was no door to the yard, so Lin Qi walked straight in with the water jar and placed it under the eaves outside the kitchen.
"This water tank is still missing two lids." Lin Qi said to herself. There are still a lot of wooden boards left from building the house, so she can just make two herself when the time comes.
However, compared to fetching water every day, she would rather dig a well herself so that she can have convenient access to water and also use it to water the vegetables.
The more Lin Qi thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible. She planned to dig a well in the yard instead of going to the mountains for the next two days.
Just as Lin Qi was thinking about where to dig the well, the team leader came with Lao Gao.
"She is Lin Qi? You didn't lie to me?" Lao Gao looked at the girl's slender back and her snow-white wrists. She didn't look like a master at all. She looked sickly and weak, as if she had never seen the sun.
But when the other person turned around and saw the little face that was so white and glowing, Lao Gao overturned his previous conclusion. This is not the sickly Bai! The sickly Bai can't glow!
This is a master!
Returning to nature, bright as the moon, clean as frost, this is to refine away all the impurities in the body!
This must be a very powerful master!
Lao Gao's eyes were burning with excitement, and without Luo Feng's confirmation, he rushed forward first.
"Hello, I'm Gao Ren, the captain of the Shunliang Brigade next door. You can call me Captain Gao, or you can call me Lao Gao like Lao Luo." Lao Gao smiled flatteringly.
"Hello, my name is Lin Qi." Lin Qi said calmly, and asked Luo Feng with her eyes what was going on?
Twenty minutes later.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her with tears and snot, Lin Qi's expression was indescribable. She was somewhat relieved that the captain of the Anliang Brigade was not of such a temper.
"Old Gao, have some shame." Luo Feng held his forehead and reminded Gao Ren.
"We are starving to death, how can we still have face? You don't know, more than a dozen of our team members fainted during this autumn harvest, so I didn't dare to urge them, and gave them plenty of time to rest every day. It is also because of this that the amount of food flooded in our fields is the highest among the nearby brigades." Lao Gao was full of sorrow, "Not to mention the grown children, who are starving to death. Take the pregnant women, who are working hard and have nothing to eat, and several of them have miscarried. Lao Luo, no child has been successfully born in our Shunliang Brigade for several years!"
Luo Feng did not speak. There had not been a baby born in the Anliang Brigade for several years. Previously, because of the disaster years, no one dared to have children. Even if they accidentally got pregnant, they would miscarry soon.
There were no newborns in the team, and he was anxious.
Fortunately, there are several pregnant women in Anliang Brigade. The harvest this year is good, and with more meat, the child should be able to be raised. It's the end of the year, and there will definitely be many families holding wedding banquets, so there will definitely be more children next year.
His own team recovered. Luo Feng looked at Lao Gao and couldn't help but feel sympathy. He couldn't help but help him lobby, "Lin Qi, you see everyone is in a difficult situation. If you can help, please help them once."
Lin Qi still didn't speak.
"We have wild boars in the mountains!" Lao Gao put out the bait, "One of our team members found a herd of wild boars in the mountains."
Lin Qi became interested, "Really?"
As it happened, she needed a wild boar for a banquet.
"It couldn't be more true. Several of our team members saw it. Now that the wild fruits in the mountains are ripe, it's common to see wild boars coming out to look for food." said Lao Gao.
"Is it a group of wild boars, not just one or two?" Lin Qi continued to ask.
"It's a group. If it was just one or two, our team members would have returned long ago to ask people to surround them. It's because of the large number that we dare not move." Lao Gao said.
"Okay, I'll go. I want two-tenths of the prey." Lin Qi said straightforwardly.
"What do you mean by hunted prey? Does it mean the prey you hunted alone, or one tenth of the prey others hunted together with yours?" asked Lao Gao.
"Lao Gao!" Luo Feng shouted, "Be more polite!"
"I have to ask clearly. If I ask clearly, there will be fewer disputes later and it won't affect our relationship." Lao Gao felt that there was nothing wrong with him.
"Who the hell has feelings for you? This is a one-time deal, only this time, don't come here again in the future." Luo Feng felt sorry for Lin Qi.
Lin Qi herself didn't care. "I hunted them myself. I don't take a penny from others' hunts."
"Okay!" Lao Gao narrowed his eyes and smiled. With this expert in front, even if his team members were not very good, they could at least hunt two or three heads, which could save dozens of kilograms of meat.
But at this moment, Lao Gao never expected that his teammates had no chance to attack at all.
Before leaving, Lao Gao made an appointment with Lin Qi for the day after tomorrow.
"The day after tomorrow, you take a few young members of our team with you. As for who to take, you can choose for yourself." said the captain.
"Please name a few. I'm not familiar with them." Lin Qi said indifferently.
"Is Xu Hexiao one of them?" The captain mentioned Xu Hexiao's name first.
"He won't go. He wants to build a house. Please give him a few more days of vacation and don't push him too hard." Lin Qi said.
"You really treat that kid differently." The captain sighed, "With his status, he will never be able to leave Jiahe Commune again."
"Jiahe Commune is great. If you don't want to go out, then don't go out." Lin Qi said in a light tone, and it was hard to tell whether what she said was true or not.
In the evening, the Xu family's grandfather and grandson did not cook dinner. Instead, they ate the meat buns that Lin Qi brought back, more than thirty of them.
"Xiao Lin asked me to tell you that she will go to the mountain near Shunliang Brigade the day after tomorrow to help them hunt." said Old Man Xu.
Xu Hexiao nodded, feeling surprised but not surprised. With her ability, it was normal for others to come to her.
"She also said that she would help us cut down trees and make thatched roofs tomorrow. Just let you concentrate on making mud bricks." Old Man Xu added that the trees near Anliang Brigade could not be cut down. If they wanted to cut down trees, they had to go deep into the mountains. It was not an easy task to carry trees out of the mountains. Usually, several people would carry them together, and it was obvious that no one would come to help them.
Now, Lin Qi has taken over the most tiring task.
Xu Hexiao's heart warmed slightly, and he said, "She bought a water tank today. I will go fetch water later and help her fill the tank."
Old Man Xu nodded, "That's right, we should help each other."
