"Li Huan, I want to thank you on the day we pay our taxes. I saw everything you did, and it saved us a lot of trouble."
Of course the village chief knew what Li Huan had done. The public grain in other villages was checked very strictly, and even a small stone in a corn kernel would not be accepted. But in their village, the grain was collected after just a quick glance.
Li Huan nodded. It was only a small amount of money. He was happy to do something good for the village. He was also from Xiangyang Village.
Skinny Monkey had been sitting at the door of Li Huan's house for a long time. When he saw Li Huan carrying two loads of food, and Li's mother and Li Le also had food in their hands, he hurried forward to help.
"The skinny monkey is here, come in quickly."
The Li family's door was always open. The family was poor and there was nothing to steal, but the skinny monkey still sat at the door and did not enter without permission.
"Aunt, I'm here to help. I'll sleep here tonight."
"Okay, but you can only sleep in the living room. Li Huan is sleeping in the living room now. We just need to wait until the house over there is built."
"I understand. Look, I brought all my bedding."
The skinny monkey pointed at a roll of bedding at his feet with a smile, picked up the bedding and followed him in, and took out two fruit candies from his pocket and handed them to Li Le.
"Thank you, Skinny Monkey."
Li Le lived a very comfortable life during this period. Not only did she eat well and sleep well every day, but she also had more candies and snacks in her pocket. Of course, all of them were given to her by Cheng Qiao.
"LeLe, come with me to the kitchen to cook."
Just as he thought of Cheng Qiao, Cheng Qiao appeared at the door with a large backpack on her back. Li Huan looked at the backpack on Cheng Qiao's back, which was almost half her height, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"Wife, I'll do it. Don't get tired."
Li Huan quickly put down the carrying pole and ran to Cheng Qiao, wanting to take the backpack, but Cheng Qiao was unwilling to do so because the backpack was empty. If it wasn't covered with a piece of cloth, she would be embarrassed to carry it out.
"Don't move, I'm going to the kitchen first."
"I'll go with you."
When Li Huan saw Cheng Qiao retreating very lightly, he knew that the backpack was empty. The corners of his mouth curled up. How could he forget that his wife was a fairy from heaven who had come down to earth
He hurriedly followed behind. He wanted to protect his wife and not let the secret leak out at all costs. Li Huan's actions shocked Shouhou, Li's mother and Li Le.
The three people looked at each other, wondering if their comrade Li Huan had changed his heart. How could he become such a villain after seeing Cheng Qiao
Cheng Qiao quickly placed the backpack on the kitchen floor and reached in. Not long after, a piece of cloth on the backpack was removed. Li Huan looked at the full basket of food. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked to see so many things.
He originally thought that Cheng Qiao would conjure up some delicious food that would be enough for the few of them, but he never expected there would be so much. The hand that reached for the backpack began to tremble slightly.
"Here are fifty kilograms of flour, here are fifty kilograms of rice, fifty kilograms of cornmeal, fifty kilograms of millet, and here are ten kilograms of pork. The fat can be boiled into lard. There are also sugar, oil, salt, cigarettes, and liquor. You can take your own time."
Li Huan looked outside quickly, and saw that the skinny guys had not reacted yet, so he asked Cheng Qiao to take most of the rice and flour back. How could a small body like yours carry hundreds of kilograms of food
Cheng Qiao's face turned red. Yes, she was too impatient. She moved her hands again and left 20 kilograms of cornmeal, 10 kilograms of rice and white flour each, and did not take the rest.
Li Huan nodded, but there was moisture in his eyes. If he was not caught in feudal superstition, he would have wanted to kneel down facing the mountain and thank God for sending him a fairy wife.
"Wow… "
Suddenly there was a scream in his ear, which scared Li Huan so much that he almost knocked over the cornmeal. He turned around and saw that it was Li Le. The little girl was also so happy to see a basket of goodies that she could no longer control herself.
Li's mother and Shouhou both ran in, looked at the things in the backpack, and looked at Cheng Qiao with unspeakable expressions. They both saw that the backpack was carried in by Cheng Qiao, and it turned out that the little girl was so strong.
"Cheng Qiao, there are at least 70 to 80 kilograms of stuff here. Your head injury hasn't healed yet, how can you carry such heavy things? And when did you buy these things?"
this…
Cheng Qiao didn't know how to answer yet, so Li Huan stepped forward and told Li's mother that he had bought these things yesterday, but just left them at the educated youth site and hadn't brought them over.
Skinny Monkey was a little puzzled. Brother Huan had never been to the black market, and there was no food in the house. Where did all these things of his come from? No matter what, Brother Huan had his own abilities. Otherwise, why wouldn't he be Brother Monkey
White smoke floated out of the Li family's chimney. The men who signed up to help Li Huan build the house quickly finished the food in their bowls and rushed to Li Huan's house.
Uncle Niu also arrived with a bullock cart loaded with logs of wood. He usually did not work in the fields, because being a cowherd also meant paying a salary, but that salary could only buy enough coarse food for a year.
As he got older, his teeth became worse and it became difficult for him to swallow coarse grains. He could only eat more fine grains, but to eat fine grains, he had to spend money to buy them.
"Uncle Niu, how do you change these pieces of wood? What do you want to change them to?"
Cheng Qiao hurried over and offered to give him anything she had in her space.
"Girl, Uncle Niu doesn't want much, just give me 80 kilograms of cornmeal."
"no."
Cheng Qiao shook his head decisively. Uncle Niu was very angry because he had secretly cut these woods in the mountains over the years and had hidden them for a long time.
His only son was missing, and everyone sympathized with him, so they turned a blind eye to his actions.
"Uncle Niu, please exchange it for 100 kilograms of cornmeal."
"What~"
Uncle Niu seemed to not believe his ears. No, his ears were fine. This girl was really a naive girl. He, an old man, could not bully a little girl like this.
"It's just 80 kilograms of cornmeal. I won't exchange it for more."
Cheng Qiao: "Just 100 kilograms of cornmeal. I don't want any less."
Uncle Niu and Cheng Qiao looked at each other in the eye. Finally, Uncle Niu felt a sour feeling in his nose. Fortunately, the second-rate guy was only a second-rate guy on the surface, otherwise he would have tried his best to stop Cheng Qiao from marrying him.
Li Huan smiled and asked the villagers to unload the wood from the ox cart. He then took out a bag full of cornmeal from the kitchen and threw it on the ox cart. Then he stuffed a big meat bun into Uncle Niu's pocket and sent him back.
Uncle Niu looked at the bulging bag of cornmeal and knew that the bag contained more than 100 kilograms. A urea bag like this, filled so full, would probably hold at least 110 kilograms.
