"I've been traveling for a whole day and night to get here," Lin Qixia said with a worried look in her eyes.
However, Lin Jiudong turned around, took off her clothes, and prepared to sleep, saying, "Sleep if you want, or don't!"
After she said that, the other person ignored her.
Lin Qixia regretted it immediately. Why did she have to go through all that trouble to praise her?
Not only was the girl ungrateful, but she also had to sleep on the floor.
They can't leave anytime soon, so are they going to have to sleep on the ground forever?
Lin Qixia cursed under her breath, but still made up the bed and prepared to sleep.
The candles in the room were blown out.
Lying on the ground, Lin Qixia stared at the dark roof with her eyes open.
She thought she would have insomnia, but she was so tired during the day that she actually fell asleep.
Although I didn't sleep very comfortably, I did get a few hours of rest.
"Auntie! Auntie, get up!" As the morning light shone into the room, Lin Yi, who had just woken up, lay next to Lin Qixia and kept bothering her.
Lin Qixia didn't want to get up, so she grumbled and replied, "Okay, you go play outside first, Auntie will get up in a bit."
"Auntie! Auntie brought some delicious food! Yi'er needs Auntie to get it for me!"
It was obvious that Lin Yi was too short to reach, which was why she was in such a hurry to call Lin Qixia.
Of course, Lin Jiudong returned from his morning patrol and couldn't bear to see Lin Qixia still sleeping soundly on the ground, so he deliberately did this to make Lin Yi disturb her.
Lin Qixia cursed inwardly, guessing that it was probably because of Lin Jiudong.
"Auntie! Auntie—"
"Okay, okay, I'll get up now!" Lin Qixia couldn't stand the child any longer and struggled to get up.
I really never expected that one day my situation would be reversed compared to Lin Jiudong's.
In the past, the only person who would stay in bed late was Lin Jiudong.
She got up, dressed, and tidied up the bedding before Lin Yi, who couldn't wait, dragged her to the main room.
Lin Qixia rubbed her eyes and asked her, "Where did you put the food?"
“There!” Lin Yi pointed to the baskets hanging above their heads.
Lin Qixia looked up and her lips twitched.
Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble to hide things so early in the morning? Don't you get tired?
She got a stool, reached down the basket, and took out the food wrapped in oil paper inside.
I was just about to put the basket aside when I noticed there was another note inside.
Lin Qixia raised an eyebrow, took out the note and read it. It was written in Lin Jiudong's handwriting: "Go and heal your older brother. Once his condition improves, you can sleep in the bed!"
"Wow, they really know how to set conditions." Lin Qixia chuckled.
He felt that Lin Jiudong's actions were unnecessary, and that he would find a way to cure his older brother no matter what.
However, it seems that Lin Jiudong is genuinely worried about Lin Xiao's situation this time.
Putting away the note, Lin Qixia turned her head and saw Lin Yi lying on the table, eating heartily.
"What are you eating?" Lin Qixia asked her curiously.
In just a short while, there wasn't much food left in the oil paper package, and Lin Yi had covered it all up.
Lin Yi, somewhat embarrassed by her question, let go of her hand: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I—"
She had almost finished eating.
The child's mouth was stuffed full, making it difficult for him to speak clearly.
She handed the remaining half of the pastry to Lin Qixia; it was a red date cake.
No wonder Lin Yi liked it so much that she couldn't help but finish it.
Lin Qixia smiled and ruffled her hair: "Alright, will this fill you up? Auntie will take you to eat something even better~"
The child was afraid of being hungry in the past, and she couldn't change some of her bad habits in a short period of time. She would always try to finish the food as quickly as possible when it was in her mouth.
This is actually bad for your stomach.
As she spoke, she took Lin Yi's hand and left Lin Jiudong's house.
They went to the village's canteen, a place Lin Qixia had never been before, but which she had arranged for to be set up.
After they had everything set up, Lin Xiao sent her the blueprints that had been drawn up, so Lin Qixia was very familiar with many details.
"It's the head of the household!" The people in the village canteen greeted Lin Qixia excitedly upon seeing her.
The people eating around them all turned to look at Lin Qixia.
"The boss is here!"
"Great! We've finally seen the Boss again!" Everyone looked at her with eagerness and respect.
Lin Qixia quickly waved her hand and corrected them with a smile: "I am Lin Qixia. You can call me Miss Lin or Qixia, it's fine."
Only those on duty in the village are required to get up early every day to carry out their tasks.
The other people here must all be people with free time, enjoying this rare moment together.
The news of Lin Xiao's team being attacked had clearly not spread throughout the village. Yun Zhi had managed the public opinion very well, and everyone's emotions were quite calm. Since most people didn't know about it, no one was affected by the incident.
They all continued living their own lives, unaffected by the situation.
"I'd like two steamers of steamed buns, two bowls of multigrain porridge, and three fried dough sticks," Lin Qixia said to the middle-aged woman serving food at the counter.
There are no fried dough sticks like this in the world; she deliberately wrote the recipe in a booklet to teach them how to make them.
I'm craving it right now, so I want to try it and see how it tastes.
The man smiled kindly at Lin Qixia: "Alright, Miss Lin, it'll be ready soon!"
Afterwards, Lin Qixia waited for them to be ready and then took the plate full of food.
The food inside was piled up almost like a small mountain, with many of the things Lin Qixia hadn't ordered. She smiled helplessly.
"Let's go eat over there," Lin Qixia said to Lin Yi, looking down at her.
Lin Yi responded and followed her.
The two of them went into the cafeteria, where rows of tables and chairs were set up. She found a seat and sat down.
Then Lin Qixia opened a steamer of buns, and a wonderful aroma wafted out.
Lin Qixia sniffed the air with a contented look, then quickly picked up a steamed bun and started eating. Lin Yi, standing next to her, became rather reserved in front of her.
After Lin Qixia finished eating a steamed bun, she looked up at Lin Yi and found that she hadn't moved.
"Eat up! I can't finish all this food by myself, you'll have to do it, you little foodie~" Lin Qixia teased, flicking her nose.
Lin Yi felt embarrassed by what she said, but still suddenly felt a heavy responsibility.
She nodded quickly, picked up a fried dough stick with her chopsticks, and took a big bite.
"Mmm! The fried dough sticks are delicious!" she exclaimed, her words slightly muffled as she chewed.
Seeing this, Lin Qixia smiled and then watched Lin Yi eat heartily.
At the same time, she began to think while eating about how she could cure Lin Xiao as quickly as possible in the next month.
This will not affect the implementation of my original plan during this period.
After all, without Lin Xiao as her capable assistant, many things became much more troublesome for her.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice the increasing number of people acting strangely in the cafeteria.
Many eyes kept glancing their way, even though they pretended not to notice.
