If they asked Lin Xiao to help them carry other things, it would be unrealistic for such a long journey, but carrying a few letters would be no problem.
When Lin Xiao was guarding the border in the northern border, he felt particularly friendly to people from all walks of life, not to mention those from the same city or even the same province.
"Thank you, Comrade Lin Xiao." Dong Yiming and Cui Jinfa thanked him repeatedly.
"Come, take this meat back with you two. Remember to salt it at night, otherwise it would be a shame if it goes bad."
Yang Baiyi only kept the two hind legs of the silly roe deer, and gave most of it to the educated youth compound.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, this is too much. Please leave some more."
Cui Jinfa looked at the silly roe deer and was a little afraid to take it.
When they called Yang Baiyi to take a bath just now, Yang Baiyi just said that he would give them meat, but none of them expected that there would be so much.
"Just take it if I give it to you. I'll go to the mountain to fight again tomorrow. With my skills, eating pickled meat would be like slapping myself in the face, right?"
The reason why Yang Baiyi said this was, firstly, to relieve them of any psychological burden, and secondly, he really didn't like eating pickled meat.
Apart from the salty taste, there is no meaty flavor at all.
"Okay, then we'll take it. Hunting is as easy as buying goods for you. You really don't need to eat pickled meat."
Everyone has been together for so long and knows each other very well. Yang Baiyi hates being polite the most.
After seeing off Cui Jinfa and Dong Yiming, Yang Baiyi and Lin Xiao continued to sit in the yard and drink tea.
The kerosene lamp placed nearby flickered, and flying insects kept hitting the glass cover where the flame was.
“There are so many bright stars in the sky!”
Yang Baiyi leaned back in his chair and looked up at the starry sky. The sky was dotted with stars and the moon was emitting a bright fluorescent light.
"Isn't it always like this at night? You haven't been to Northern Xinjiang. There are more and brighter stars in Northern Xinjiang at night.
I really can't stand people like you. You can't help but sigh over everything you see. What's wrong? Do you still want to be a literary creator?
Lin Xiao looked down upon Yang Baiyi's whining. He was so young but already he was developing into those old scholars, which was quite sour.
Yang Baiyi smiled and said nothing.
He experienced an Earth with extremely developed industry and technology. The sky was foggy every day, the sun could not be seen during the day, and it was even more chaotic at night.
Without neon lights, every night would be pitch dark.
"Brother, my lips are numb and feel a little hot."
The little girl came to Yang Baiyi with a pitiful look.
"Silly girl, I told you not to eat anything with chili peppers, but you didn't listen. Your lips are now swollen."
By the light of the kerosene lamp, Yang Baiyi saw that his sister's lips were red and swollen.
"But the skewers with chili peppers are even better. They have more flavor and I can't stop eating them!"
In a world of foodies, what's wrong with treating yourself to some good food, even if it comes at a price?
"The honey water is already cold. Drinking some honey water can relieve the pain and protect the gastric mucosa."
Yang Baiyi told his sister to drink honey water, and he went back to the room to get a brand new towel, wet it with cold water, and gently wiped the corners of his sister's mouth to relieve her pain.
The limitations of this era are too great. Even if there are ice cubes in the space, they cannot be taken out and used. If the ice cubes are wrapped in a towel, the effect will be better.
"You are really attentive."
Lin Xiao is also a man who dotes on his sister. Seeing how well Yang Baiyi treats his sister, he feels a sense of identification.
"No other way, I have to spoil my own sister myself."
Yang Xiaoxiao drank the cold honey water, and Yang Baiyi wiped the corners of her mouth. Although the swelling on her lips did not completely subside, it was much relieved.
"Are you guys still going to bathe in the river? Are you okay with all the drinking tonight?"
If it was Yang Baiyi himself, Lin Wanru would never let him go into the river after drinking.
It’s better for two people to be together, at least they can take care of each other.
"It's okay. Didn't you see we only drank half a pound of wine tonight? It's the same as not drinking at all."
In front of his sister, Lin Xiao tried hard to maintain an image of being omnipotent, completely forgetting the embarrassment of getting drunk at noon.
"Okay, I won't bother with you guys anymore. Xiaoxiao has to go to school tomorrow, I'll wash her and then go to bed.
The temperature is low at night and the water in the river is icy cold, so you should just wash for a while and come back."
Lin Wanru gave a few instructions, took Yang Xiaoxiao to the toilet, and went back to the house to wash up.
Lin Xiao waited until the candle in Lin Wanru's room went out before he could no longer wait to take out a match, light the cigarette and take a deep breath.
"Smoking isn't a big deal, why are you hiding it like this?"
Looking at Lin Xiao's enjoying expression, Yang Baiyi was speechless.
"What do you know? My sister hated the smell of cigarettes when she was little. When she was little, my father didn't dare to smoke in front of her. He would either go to the study or go outside."
Lin Xiao had a matter-of-fact expression on his face, as if his sister deserved such love.
Yang Baiyi instantly imagined a scene in his mind: a general with stars on his shoulders, standing humbly in the yard smoking a cigarette; in the living room, a delicate little girl was looking at her father in the yard angrily.
Yang Baiyi got up and went into the house, bringing out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes for Lin Xiao.
"What are you doing? I have cigarettes, they are in the house."
Lin Xiao was very vigilant and refused to accept Yang Baiyi's bribe.
"I don't usually smoke, but I bought this during the Chinese New Year when my grandfather lived here for a while. If I don't smoke it now, it will expire.
Don't worry, take it and smoke it. This isn't a bribe. You can continue your visit tomorrow as planned."
Yang Baiyi said helplessly.
"Okay, that's what you said. If the results of my inquiries tomorrow are different from what the captain said today, I will not let you off easily.
When I get back, I'll ask my father to find a way to transfer my sister back. I only have one sister, and we have to be extremely careful about her marriage."
Lin Xiao had a serious face and a very firm attitude.
"Comrade Lin Xiao, I completely understand this. I only have one sister, and when she grows up, I think I will also be very nervous and cautious."
Yang Baiyi said with empathy.
"I'm glad you think so. Regardless of whether you and my sister can be together in the future, I don't want us to become enemies."
After a day of getting along, Lin Xiao's impression of Yang Baiyi improved a lot.
I found out that this pretty boy is not completely useless, he still has many advantages.
"Comrade Lin Xiao, it's almost time. I'll go get some toiletries and let's go take a bath in the river."
Yang Baiyi went back to the room and walked around. When he came out, he was holding a basin in one hand. In it were brand new towels, unopened soap, and brand new toothpaste and toothbrush.
"You've prepared everything you need. You even have Seagull shampoo, which is a big brand in Shanghai."
Lin Xiao had a new understanding of Yang Baiyi's economic strength. It was impossible for an ordinary family to prepare extra daily necessities, which all required industrial tickets.
