Lin Qingmei did not continue to pay attention to the educated youth's work, she was very busy now. It was already the end of February, and the crab spawning period in the crab pond was about to end. She had to keep an eye on the crab breeding situation.
Crab breeding is a very delicate matter that cannot be sloppy. Lin Qingmei comes to the crab pond early every day to carefully check the water quality, water temperature and the condition of the crabs.
As her assistants, Lin Jianguo and Liu Furong also have a hard time working. Except for eating and sleeping time, they have to stay in the farm all the time.
By mid-March, all the crabs had been bred and everyone had some free time.
Lin Qingmei knew that everyone was tired from the high-intensity work during this period, so she planned to give everyone two days off in turn.
Lin Qingmei's favorite time is vacation, so she arranged herself to be among the first group of people to take vacation.
Because of the farm incident, she hadn't been to the county town for almost half a month. The snacks and desserts at home were almost finished, and she didn't find a chance to take them out.
On the first day of vacation, Lin Qingmei rode her bicycle to the county town after breakfast.
After walking around the department store, she headed for the food section. Seeing the dazzling array of snacks and desserts on the shelves, Lin Qingmei's eyes lit up. She picked out a few items that were not available in the space and bought a pound of each. The food in this era was still very safe, without the technology and cruelty of later generations.
So she usually eats mostly snacks of this era. She rarely eats the spicy strips and potato chips she hoarded in her previous life.
After leaving the department store, Lin Qingmei hummed a little tune as she prepared to go to the county government to find He Xufeng. When she passed a corner on the street, she heard a faint dog barking. Following the sound, she found a dirty puppy hiding behind a cardboard box.
The puppy was skinny and looked very pitiful. Lin Qingmei felt pity for it and decided to take it home.
She carefully picked up the puppy and used her wood ability to carefully examine its body.
The puppy felt her kindness and lay obediently in her arms, allowing her to stroke it.
After Lin Qingmei used her wood-based abilities to regulate its body, it became much more energetic and even wagged its tail and licked Lin Qingmei's hand.
Lin Qingmei came to the gate of the county government with the puppy in her arms. The guard recognized her and let her in directly.
He Xufeng was surprised to see her coming in with the puppy. "Where did you get this puppy from?"
"I picked it up on the street. It looked so pitiful when I saw it was abandoned in the alley. I felt sorry for it and picked it up."
"If you like it, just keep it. It's not like we can't afford a dog." He Xufeng couldn't help but reach out and touch the puppy because it was so cute.
"What do you mean we? This dog is mine, okay?" Lin Qingmei glared at He Xufeng fiercely. This man was getting more and more outrageous. He would declare his sovereignty outside at every turn.
He Xufeng smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's you. But you have to take good care of this little guy, he looks very fragile."
Lin Qingmei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to make it strong."
"Please wait for me for a moment. I will sort out the information and send it to County Magistrate Wang, then I can go home."
"Well, you go ahead and do your work. I'll feed the puppy something first." Lin Qingmei took out a piece of egg cake from the oil paper package and put it in front of the puppy. The puppy barked twice and started eating.
There wasn't much in a piece of egg cake, so the puppy finished it quickly. After finishing it, it continued to bark at Lin Qingmei, as if to say: It's not enough, I want more egg cake.
Just when Lin Qingmei wanted to continue feeding the dog with egg cake, He Xufeng quickly spoke up to stop her, as it would be troublesome if people saw her wasting food like this.
"Qingmei, the puppy can't eat so many sweets. If it's hungry, we can go to the state-owned restaurant later and ask the waiter to give it some leftovers."
"Okay!" Lin Qingmei also knew that it was inappropriate to feed dogs with egg cakes, so she stopped.
After a while, He Xufeng finished his work and took Lin Qingmei away from the government building.
It was still early when they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, and there were not many customers in the restaurant.
He Xufeng asked Lin Qingmei to find a seat first, and then he ordered the food.
"Waiter, one serving of roast duck, one serving of stir-fried pork with celery, one serving of choy sum with garlic sauce, and four bowls of rice."
"Three yuan and forty cents for a pound of meat coupons and a pound of grain coupons."
After the waiter collected the money and ticket, he gave He Xufeng a number tag.
"Qingmei, I noticed that you seem to like sitting in the corner?"
“It’s easy to get a melon in a corner.”
He Xufeng "?"
"It's just easier to hear some gossip in the corner."
"Aren't you afraid of hearing something you shouldn't hear?" He Xufeng smiled and shook his head. His hobby of listening to gossip is really special.
"Who would be so stupid as to discuss confidential matters in a state-owned restaurant? In a state-owned restaurant, you can only see some gossip, such as some top-notch men and women who are on blind dates."
"Blind date? How do you know there will be such a great match if you haven't been on a blind date before?" He Xufeng was confused. He suddenly wondered if there was a generation gap between him and Lin Qingmei. Why couldn't he understand what she was saying?
"Do you need to go on a blind date to know all this? You can find out by listening to the ladies in the village chatting." Lin Qingmei has never been on a blind date in her life. She met both ordinary men and mama's boys on the Internet.
He Xufeng: "..."
At this time, the waiter's voice of calling for food broke He Xufeng's embarrassment.
Roast duck and fried pork with celery are Lin Qingmei's favorite dishes, which touched her again.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, He Xufeng asked the waiter for a piece of oil paper to wrap up the leftovers they had just left behind and take them away. These leftovers were taken back to feed the puppy, as they had not brought the puppy with them when they had dinner just now.
In order not to disturb He Xufeng's work, Lin Qingmei went back to the county government, got the dog and the bicycle, and went home.
Although He Xufeng was reluctant to let Lin Qingmei go back first, he was really busy today.
