Chapter 57 The heroine’s cannon fodder sister (9)
Looking at the steamed buns handed over, Jiang Qu certainly couldn't eat anymore. Just now she and He Xing ordered a bowl of beef noodles at the restaurant, along with several exquisite side dishes. These things are extremely rare these days. Although the big bun in front of him was made of meat, it was too oily and Jiang Qu couldn't swallow it, so he pushed it in front of Jiang Qiuhe with a smile.
"Brother, please eat. I just ate one on the way. Are you thirsty? Come and drink some water."
He took out a kettle from his bag and handed it over.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiuhe directly took a kettle from Jiang Lai's hand.
"Sanya brought a lot of water here. The little girl didn't feel tired along the way, so she just carried it on her back."
As he spoke, Jiang Qiuhe wiped the grain cart next to him and called Jiang to come.
"Sanya, come and sit down. Erya, come and sit and wait. It's still a bit hot today."
The three brothers and sisters moved forward bit by bit. When they were about to arrive, a middle-aged man wearing a hat came over. He was also holding a pole for collecting grains in his hand. The tip of the head was hollow like a needle, and he used force to collect grains. By poking and pulling out the bag, a whole tube of rice can be taken out.
When the man pierced his head, Jiang Qiuhe's brows furrowed in distress. The three brothers and sisters all stared at him. They saw him pouring the grain into his hands and looking at it over and over again, then peeling off the rice grains and throwing them into his mouth to chew. , and finally spit it out again, saying with a sullen face.
"Okay, just pull it over."
Jiang Qiuhe nodded repeatedly and drove the donkey cart forward.
There was a lot of noise in front, as if there was a quarrel. Jiang Qiuhe asked his sister to look at the food, and then he squeezed over to take a look. After looking for a while, he came back and sighed.
"The person who collected the grain at the front said that the weight of the grain was not enough. It should have been two hundred kilograms, but it was thirty kilograms less."
"Thirty pounds? How can it be so much less!"
"Those people were found to have stuffed stones in their bags. Now the commotion is serious. The leaders of the grain station said they must deal with it seriously. We don't know how long we have to wait."
Seeing that it's already evening, after work is over, the rest who haven't handed in the work have to stay here for the night.
At this time, He Xing walked over from behind the grain station, followed by a young man. The young man walked to the grain bag, squeezed it, and then waved his hand.
"Okay, just pull it up."
He Xing whispered something to Jiang Qiuhe, and Jiang Qiuhe nodded and patted He Xing's shoulder, with a smile on his dark face.
The young man was from the grain station. He walked into the grain storage station at the back with Jiang Qiuhe's grain and got on the scale. It was a full 400 kilograms and a few kilograms more.
"Okay, Jiangshan Shengjia will pay 400 kilograms of food. We will continue our efforts next year and go back!"
After handing over the food, Jiang Qiuhe felt relaxed and had a lot more smiles on his face. He kept thanking He Xing along the way.
"Thank you, otherwise I would have to stay here for one night."
"You don't need to thank me, it's a friend of mine who knows the people inside, and he said a word of help."
At this time Jiang Qu said with a smile.
"Brother, He Xing is always enthusiastic and treats everyone like this. We are from the same village after all, so he should help."
"What you said is as if He Xing is one of our family members... But it's almost over, Sanya, why don't you come over and say thank you to He Xing."
Before Jiang Lai could speak, Jiang Qu asked He Xing directly.
"Is the matter settled?"
He Xing nodded.
"Almost."
Jiang Qiuhe on the side was confused when he heard this. When did Erya and He Xing become so familiar?
Jiang Lai smiled and said nothing. After getting in the car, she saw that the two of them were sitting not far away from each other. She pretended not to know anything and sat directly between them.
"He Xing, here you go."
Jiang Lai took out a pair of gloves from his bag and handed them to him.
"Wear it when working, and your hands won't hurt."
He Xing looked at the pair of gloves in front of him, and then looked down at his cracked fingertips. There was a blood mark on the back of his hand that he didn't even notice.
He subconsciously refused.
"No, I don't need it."
"Take it, you saved my life before, I should give you something back."
Jiang Lai always said this, so what else could He Xing say, so he took away the gloves and stuffed them into his bag.
Finally, he heard the little girl next to him whisper thank you.
He Xing nodded with a sullen face.
Jiang Qu, who was sitting aside, saw this scene in his eyes and felt a little sour and uneasy in his heart.
She clutched the bag, and after seeing He Xing accept the gloves given by Jiang Lai, her face turned cold, and her lowered eyebrows were gleaming.
After getting off the car, I didn't even look at He Xing and walked straight towards home.
At night, Jiang Lai was applying clam oil in front of the mirror and heard Xiao Pudding talking in his ear.
"Congratulations are waiting by the window of the river canal."
When Jiang Lai heard this, the Bagua possessed him and climbed directly onto the bed with his ear against the window to listen carefully to what was going on outside.
The two sisters originally shared a room. Later, in order to facilitate Jiang Qu's study, they changed one room into two rooms. The sunny one was given to Jiang Qu. Jiang Lai, who was obsessed with novels all day long, moved into the shady one.
"The river channel is out."
Jiang Lai couldn't hear anything, so Little Pudding repeated it to her in an emotional voice.
Jiang Qu: "Why are you here if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"
He Xing: "Aren't you looking for a math competition book? I found one today and give it to you."
Jiang Qu's tone was awkward.
"Then you have to give it to me at night?"
"You will go to school early tomorrow morning, and I am going to Beijing City tomorrow and will be back in about seven or eight days."
"Well, are you just telling me this? You don't need to tell my sister too?"
He Xing lowered his voice and sounded a little sulky.
"Why should I talk to your sister?"
"You took away her gloves. I thought you two were in love."
"Jiang Qu! Do you think I, He Xing, am that kind of person?"
"Then why is Jiang Lai still pestering you? Could it be that my sister is stalking you."
He Xing was silent for a long time.
"Your sister doesn't know anything about us. I want to tell her that you didn't let me. Now she still thinks that we are on a blind date, and everything she does is excusable."
Hearing this, Jiang Lai nodded.
Jiang Qu wanted to say something else, but after hesitating for a while, his attitude softened.
"If you fall in love with someone else, you must tell me. I won't pester you. It will be good for everyone if we get together and have a good time."
"I won't fall in love with anyone else."
"Well, Jiang Lai told me to make it clear to her as soon as possible, but she has been stubborn since she was a child, and she must get what she likes. I don't know what will happen if I tell her the truth."
Jiang Lai smacked his lips and heard He Xing reply.
"She is a good girl, and the Jiang family will teach their daughter. Also, don't lose your temper like this next time. I know you are squeamish, but it is wrong for you to say that to me and your sister."
Jiang Qu silently tightened his clothes and nodded obediently. (End of chapter)
