Chapter 275: Exchange of Peach for Plum
During the time he was distracted, Zhou Zixu had already run over all the obstacles and returned with clean and neat movements. When he reached the finish line, he saw that Xiao Wu was distracted, so he yelled at him.
"Yes, he surpassed your elder brother by one second."
Deputy Battalion Commander Wu hurriedly pressed the stopwatch. When he saw the time on it, he jumped up excitedly and his voice changed with excitement.
"Let me see."
Zhou Zixu didn't believe it. He took the stopwatch and took a look at it, then he curled his lips into a satisfied smile.
With my hands on my waist, I looked up at the inky black sky with a distant gaze. Mom, I want to stand up. Can you forgive me?
When Li Sihui was almost in the city, she hid in the woods, took out the roe deer meat for Captain Wang's family, and walked out of the space capsule.
Captain Wang is having dinner at home. He eats dry food during the day and drinks liquid food at night. The old man knows how to live and has enough food.
“Dang dang dang.”
"It seems that Sihui is here?"
Hearing the knock on the door, Captain Wang put down his bowl and went to open the door for Li Sihui.
This girl is becoming more and more likable. She is polite, respectful to her teachers, and most importantly, talented and hardworking.
"Teacher Wang."
Li Sihui was waiting at the door holding a basin. When the door opened, she respectfully called out "Teacher Wang".
She never changed the way she addressed him. She respected Captain Wang, but she also knew that she was not a member of her team, so she always called him Teacher Wang.
"Come in, what did you take, kid? I don't need anything at home, take it back."
Captain Wang saw the basin she was holding. It was dark at the door, so he couldn't see clearly what was inside. But it smelled very fragrant, like meat.
In the countryside, it is good enough to have food to eat. How many families can afford to eat meat?
"Teacher Wang, I went into the mountains to hunt roe deer. My brother and I are the only ones at home, and we can't finish them all. They'll go bad easily in the hot weather, so I brought some for you."
Li Sihui explained that it didn't cost any money and there were inexhaustible treasures in the mountains.
"Use salt to make enough for you two to eat through the winter. Take it back!"
Captain Wang still refused to accept it.
"A roe deer weighs several dozen kilograms, and salt is needed to pickle it. I have enough salt at home, and it's good enough for daily consumption. Where can I get salt to pickle it? I'll also send a pot to Zhou Zixu, help me eat some! It will be a waste if it goes bad."
Li Sihui carried the basin and walked around Captain Wang and placed it directly on the table.
"Sit down and eat together! I'll take your portion."
After hearing what Li Sihui said, Captain Wang didn't know what to say.
He took out the food left for Li Sihui and asked her to sit at the table.
Li Sihui sat down at the table with a smile. This time she didn't feel guilty. She felt really embarrassed because Captain Wang always saved food for her every time she came.
"Mom, this meat is so delicious."
Captain Wang’s two children ate with gusto. This was meat, and game at that. With the seasonings from Li Sihui’s space capsule, how could it not be delicious?
"Look, I'll give you some steamed bread in exchange for your meat, it's too..."
Captain Wang was too embarrassed to eat a piece of meat. She felt that she was entrusted by others to take care of Li Sihui, but when Li Sihui reciprocated her kindness, she couldn't save her face.
"Food is precious! There are plenty of roe deer in the mountains."
Li Sihui replied with a faint smile. In her opinion, meat is easy to get, but food is difficult to get.
We started learning after dinner. Now Li Sihui has learned how to switch between high and low notes, and take breaths in the middle of songs quite well.
"Sihui, I think it's about right. You should be able to pass the exam for the art troupe at your current level, but your body language is not good and your body is too stiff. Go back and practice bending your waist more. If you can't do it, the art troupe may choose not to accept you."
Li Sihui was studying with Captain Wang in the city, while Zhao Yuying and Fang Fang were learning to dance and were practicing bending down at the right time.
