Chapter 15 Is Qian Xiaofeng interested in you?
Although Tian Xiaohua wasn't a very good person, it was a matter of life and death, so Li Hehua didn't dare to delay and quickly took out ten yuan in change from the house.
Watching Qin Zhaodi's hasty departure, the originally harmonious atmosphere in the Qin family suddenly became somewhat heavy.
"Tell me, Tian Xiaohua is always so unreliable, how come she suddenly fell ill? I wonder what illness she has, and whether it can be cured?" Li Hehua sighed from the side.
"We'll have to wait and see what the doctor says once we get to the county hospital." Qin Jiasheng lit his pipe and began to smoke.
Li Hehua quickly pulled Qin Yingxue away.
Qian Xiaofeng went to the warehouse early in the morning to ride his tricycle. He saw that the loach and eel he had bought yesterday had been taken away, leaving only empty wooden barrels. He didn't pay much attention to it and rode his tricycle briskly towards Qin Village Commune.
As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, he saw a large crowd of people gathered together. When they saw him, before he could even react, he was surrounded.
"No, you guys..." Qian Xiaofeng was startled, and his face changed.
Could it be that the people of Qin Village Commune are known for their fierce and aggressive nature, and they knew he had five cents in his pocket and wanted to rob him?
It's really not worth it for 50 cents...
"Xiao Feng, everyone knows you buy loaches. Last night, every household caught some to sell to you. They didn't go to work today because they were waiting for you."
Just as Qian Xiaofeng was wondering what to do, Qin Yingxue's voice rang out.
Qian Xiaofeng got excited as soon as he saw Qin Yingxue. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qin Yingxue wink at him.
Although Qian Xiaofeng didn't know what it meant, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
Qin Jiaxing and a few other villagers dismissed the crowd of villagers and politely invited Qian Xiaofeng to an open area.
"Boss, I heard you're buying loaches and eels, what do you think..."
Qin Jiaxing forced a smile and gestured for Qian Xiaofeng to look at the dozens of wooden buckets of various sizes on the ground.
Qian Xiaofeng was so surprised that his mouth could fit a whole egg; there was just too much!
Qian Xiaofeng subconsciously looked at Qin Yingxue.
Qin Yingxue nodded slightly.
Qian Xiaofeng felt much more at ease and said with a smile, "I'll take them all, as long as the goods are good."
The villagers were immediately excited when they heard that the purchase was going to be made, and everyone's face lit up with smiles.
Some quick-witted individuals seized the opportunity to ask, "Young boss, what's the purchase price?"
"You accepted it today, do you still need it tomorrow?"
Qian Xiaofeng wanted to go see Qin Yingxue again, but Qin Yingxue coughed first.
Qian Xiaofeng dared not look anymore, but he felt very flustered.
We can accommodate all these warehouses, but do we still need them?
The benefactor herself is in Qin Village, but she doesn't show up in person; there must be a reason for that.
The news of the purchase of loaches spread, probably intentionally done by the benefactor to give back to the villagers.
In that case, the acquisition plan must continue.
"Loach is two cents a pound, eel is three cents a pound. Take as many as you can get." After saying this, Qian Xiaofeng forced a smile and looked at Qin Yingxue.
Seeing that her expression remained unchanged and her lips were smiling, I knew she had not objected, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After the price was agreed upon, the weighing process began.
Qian Xiaofeng asked Qin Yingxue to help him calculate the bill and pay him, citing their friendship.
Qin Yingxue took the opportunity to stuff the money into the bulging bag he was carrying. Fortunately, it was filled with dry food, so the money went unnoticed.
With Qin Jiaxing in charge, the villagers lined up obediently and respectfully. When it was their turn, they were weighed and received their money. By the time everyone had been weighed, it was almost noon.
"Little sister, Mom and sister-in-law have prepared dinner and want you to bring your friends home for dinner," Qin Dahe said with a smile, carrying two large buckets of water on his shoulders.
"Okay, let's tidy up here." Qin Yingxue nodded in agreement.
Qian Xiaofeng quickly waved his hand to refuse, saying that his younger sister Xiaolian had brought him steamed buns, and he would only need to eat two.
“You’re the boss now, the whole village is watching you! You can’t just eat cold bread! Besides, you can’t transport all this goods by yourself. After we finish eating, I’ll have my uncle call some villagers to help you transport them.”
Qin Yingxue said with a smile.
Upon hearing Qin Yingxue's words, Qian Xiaofeng could no longer bring himself to refuse.
Looking at the dozens of buckets of loach, a troubled expression appeared on his face.
"Let's go! Uncle will send someone to keep a close eye on things." After saying that, Qin Yingxue took the lead and walked towards her home.
Qian Xiaofeng quickly followed, and taking advantage of the moment when no one was around, he whispered, "Benefactor..."
Qin Yingxue glared at him.
Qian Xiaofeng quickly changed his tune: "Yingxue, why is the whole village mobilized? How many loaches are we going to collect?"
"I'll take as many as you have," Qin Yingxue said casually.
"At this rate, we won't be able to catch any more loaches!"
Although it was the answer he expected, Qian Xiaofeng still couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"See those mountains that stretch out in a row?" Qin Yingxue pointed ahead, indicating to Qian Xiaofeng.
Qian Xiaofeng stood on tiptoe and peered for a long time but still couldn't see clearly. He could only rub his nose in frustration and say, "I can see it, but it's too far away. I can only see a patch of green."
“There are mulberry trees all over there. Once the loaches are gone, you can start harvesting the mulberries.”
Qin Yingxue smiled.
"So, I can still work and earn money, right?" Qian Xiaofeng was overjoyed and quickly asked.
Qin Yingxue stopped and saw Qian Xiaofeng's delighted expression. She smiled and said, "Don't worry! I promised you, even if there's no work, you'll still get paid. Of course, I won't let you be idle."
Qian Xiaofeng's worries vanished instantly, and he became radiant.
Upon arriving at the Qin family's courtyard, they received a warm welcome from the Qin family.
A stir-fried egg with chives, braised eel with tofu, stir-fried snails, stir-fried celery with cured pork, stir-fried cucumber, and finally, egg drop soup.
It's clear that this is all the ingredients the Qin family could provide.
Although Qin Village has more than 50 households, there is only a tofu shop at the entrance of the village. If you want to buy meat, you still have to go to the town.
Limited resources, but luckily we had a piece of cured meat at home.
Qian Xiaofeng's eyes welled up with tears at the sight of the food on the table. In all his life, he had never been so lucky to have a hot meal.
The meal was both bittersweet and joyful. After finishing, he bowed deeply to the Qin family.
"No, no, no..." Qin Jiasheng was frightened and hurriedly helped Qian Xiaofeng up.
"Uncle, if you need anything in the future, just say the word..." Qian Xiaofeng's voice choked with emotion, appearing to be speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Qin Yingxue interrupted him: "Third brother, take him to find Uncle and ask him to arrange for a few people to help Qian Xiaofeng transport the loach back."
Qian Xiaofeng wiped his face and calmed down, then said to Qin Yingxue and the others, "Okay, I'll go back now and come back tomorrow."
"Little sister, does this Qian Xiaofeng have feelings for you?"
Qin Dajiang suddenly walked up to Qin Yingxue and asked.
Qin Yingxue choked while drinking water and coughed several times before she felt better.
"Dajiang, what nonsense are you talking about? Yingxue is already engaged to Song Yanchuan," Qin Dahai said in a deep voice from the side.
