This made Ma Mengxiang and the others who were cooking very tired.
The uncles and aunts did not dare to stop for a moment, for fear that the people behind them would not be able to eat hot meals.
Ma Mengxiang was sweating profusely at the stove, her whole body soaked. Pei Xiqing was helping her beside her, and her situation was not good either.
Sweat soaked the hair on her forehead, and every time she moved she could feel the sweat on her back soaking her clothes, sticking to her back.
Zhang Tian squeezed in the line and made her way over with some difficulty. Seeing Pei Xiqing still helping, she quickly stopped him and said, "Xiqing! Come down quickly! There are so many people crammed in here, why are you squeezing in too? Let me help you. You should go back and rest."
Pei Xiqing was serving food to others and quickly said, "No need."
Zhang Tian: "You're still pregnant, you can't be too tired."
"It's okay. I'm not running around. Don't worry. I know what's going on. Come on, bring a bowl over. I'll make you a bowl of Mengxiang's five-spice vegetable soup."
Zhang Tian had no choice but to turn around and grab the bowl.
Came over and had a taste.
"Hmm... not bad, it tastes delicious. As expected, this soup made with fresh ingredients tastes different. It's more than ten times better than the best one I had at the base before!"
"Then drink more. It's tiring to patrol and stand guard all the time."
"Okay." Zhang Tian drank three large bowls straight away, then tucked into a couple of mouthfuls of food before coming over with a large spoon. "I'll come over to help too. I need to make another fifty servings and send them upstairs. A bunch of my brothers are still standing guard up there."
"good."
With her help, the food was served a little faster.
Pei Xiqing's fingers were shaking after all the busy work, but luckily everyone lined up to get food and soup, so everyone could finally take a break.
Ma Mengxiang sat down on the ground and pounded her aching shoulders. "Oh my god, I didn't expect there would be so many people in this base. We almost ran out of food. Luckily, I was smart and pulled out the secret weapon I planted earlier. Ten radishes can make a big pot of soup, and it tastes pretty good."
Pei Xiqing sat beside her, holding a bowl and drinking hot soup. Hearing this, he tilted his head slightly and said, "I didn't realize you had a talent for farming."
Ma Mengxiang: "Of course! My family has been farming for generations, so I know a little bit about everything. The more I grow, the more I learn."
Speaking of this, Ma Mengxiang suddenly asked: "By the way, Miss Pei, I was too busy just now and didn't have time to ask you, where is my cousin? Why haven't I seen her?"
Pei Xiqing paused while drinking her soup. "I'm actually not very clear about Ma Mengjia's current situation. I've only seen her at headquarters. She's... pregnant."
"What?!!"
Ma Mengxiang couldn't hold it back any longer.
He stood up immediately.
The villagers sitting around were also confused.
Not much shock.
They all knew what kind of person Ma Mengjia was.
In fact, doing such things is within everyone's expectations.
After a brief moment of shock, Ma Mengxiang sat back down. "She's just like that. We didn't let her leave the village before because we were worried she'd run off with some random guy. I didn't expect it to be true... It really is just as we all guessed."
She asked, "Did he run off with someone from that superpower team that came to our village before? I knew it must have been that. I didn't quite believe it at the time, but now the more I think about it, the more I feel like it must have been someone from that team that came to our village. Let me think about who it was..."
"A man named Lin."
Pei Xiqing briefly described what happened to Ma Mengjia in the base.
"Yes! I remember that's the last name!" Ma Mengxiang slapped her thigh and gritted her teeth, "Fuck it! This bastard kidnapped my cousin and made her pregnant. Not only did she get pregnant, but he also did so many inhumane things. It's simply..."
Her face flushed red as she blurted out, "Worse than pigs and dogs!"
The others also looked unhappy.
Ma Mengjia is a child in the village... Most of the time she is not very popular, but she is still a member of the village, and everyone can't help but feel sad for her.
"You don't know her boyfriend anymore?" Ma Mengxiang asked.
Pei Xiqing shook his head.
Ma Mengxiang stuffed a piece of chicken into her mouth. "I told you not to follow those men around. It's like love is all she has in her mind. She can't live without a man and she's determined to sneak out of here. Now she has this result, it's all her own fault."
"I don't care about her. If she can admit her mistake and make amends, I'm afraid that if I go to great lengths to find her, she'll just run off with another man the next second."
"I was almost fed up with her before, so let her do whatever she wants!"
Pei Xiqing didn't say anything.
After all, it's their family affair.
It's not good to either agree or fan the flames.
Ma Mengjia is really annoying. She ran away with that group of people from the headquarters and is probably suffering somewhere now.
It’s even harder to say about the children.
The big pot rice tasted good, but a little bland. While she was eating, there was another person sitting next to her.
Turning around, Duan Xiaolin sat over.
"Are you done?"
She handed over the dishes.
Duan Xiaolin took it and said, "It's almost done. The base's foundation is pretty good. Just a little reinforcement at a few points and there will be no problem. As for the protective wall, we still need to wait a few days."
"I was still thinking about cooking and making pastries this morning, but I didn't expect Mengxiang and the others to bring us such a big surprise."
"I heard about it on the way." Duan Xiaolin held her hand. "Why are you shaking like this?"
Her fingertips were shaking uncontrollably.
"There are too many people and the workload is too heavy. I came here to help, otherwise they would be too busy to handle it."
"I'll come and help next time."
Pei Xiqing smiled and said, "Do you want to do it next time? Do you want to tire Mengxiang and the others to death?"
The man chuckled and said he would be the chef next time.
Pei Xiqing smiled with her eyes curved, and then lowered her voice and said, "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
