Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 17 He Wenhui's Big Change

It's about four o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu Hongchang and Qin Jingru exchanged glances and walked out of the bamboo forest, both with smiles on their faces, looking indescribably relaxed.

"Your walk doesn't seem natural," Liu Hongchang reminded.

Qin Jingru nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, you'll get used to it after walking a few more steps."

"Are you satisfied now?" Liu Hongchang said with a wicked smile.

"Hateful!" Qin Jingru said coquettishly, and then said solemnly:

"I am very happy today. I have never been so happy in my life. Hong Chang, I like you."

The depression in her heart disappeared, her face was flushed, she looked charming and energetic.

When Qin Jingru returned to her home, her family members had all gone to work in the fields.

So Qin Jingru shouted for her brother to come back, put the piglets into the pig cage, and tied the four fat sheep to the ox cart.

In addition, there were several large bags of local specialties prepared by her parents, which were also placed in the car one by one.

As for Liu Hongchang and Qin Jingru, they naturally rode bicycles back to the city.

There was no conversation along the way. When they arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, it was almost five o'clock and the sky was getting dark. Liu Hongchang saw a remote place and immediately called a halt.

"Let's stay here! Someone will come to pick me up later." Liu Hongchang got out of the car and said to Qin Jingru and her sister.

The two men knew that it was not safe to send these things to the city, and they did not doubt anything, so they stopped and unloaded the pigs and sheep.

"Take out all the piglets, so I don't have to make another trip to return the pig cage." Liu Hongchang said to Qin Jingru's brother.

Qin Jingru smiled and said, "Brother, just do as Hong Chang said!"

Qin Jingru's brother was introverted and didn't talk much. He quickly took all the piglets out of the cage and put them on the side of the road.

Liu Hongchang took out five dollars and said it was the shipping fee. Qin Jingru's brother said he would not accept any money and drove away.

"Should I accompany you? Or should I leave first?" Qin Jingru said reluctantly.

Liu Hongchang smiled and said, "You go first. I will go to Nanluoguxiang often."

"Well, you have to come more often. I will miss you very much." Qin Jingru took out two large bags of local specialties and stuffed them into Liu Hongchang's hands.

"Why give it to me? I have enough food." Liu Hongchang shook his head.

Qin Jingru looked at him lovingly and said gently, "Take it. This is a token of my love."

"Even if I bring it back to the courtyard, my cousin will divide it up. I won't be able to keep much at home, so I might as well give it to you."

Liu Hongchang reached out and stroked her pretty face, and reminded her softly, "Don't forget to brush your teeth when you get home. You look so smooth, I like it very much."

"Hehe..." Qin Jingru smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents. She was very happy and nodded gently, looking indescribably well-behaved.

Liu Hongchang smiled slightly, accepted the two bags of local specialties, helped tie her specialties to the bicycle, and watched her leave.

"Today's work was not in vain!" Liu Hongchang was very happy looking at the four piglets and four sheep.

With a wave of his hand, everything was collected into the space; with a thought, time accelerated.

The food in the warehouse, sweet potato vines, cornmeal, and grass were rapidly decreasing.

In an instant, the four pigs became twenty-four.

In other words, the two sows each gave birth to a litter of ten piglets, and all of them grew up.

All grown-up pigs are castrated, but due to breed restrictions, grown-up pigs only weigh about 200 kilograms.

Liu Hongchang immediately used the processing plant to slaughter twenty fat pigs and transferred the meat to the warehouse for storage.

The remaining four pigs continue to be farmed and managed by the system.

However, after time was accelerated, the four sheep became only seven sheep, and the newborn sheep also grew up.

However, Liu Hongchang did not slaughter the sheep, but kept them to expand the population. When he really wanted to eat them, he could kill them later. Similarly, the seven sheep were also handed over to the trusteeship.

"I have used up the time acceleration once again. I still have three acres of land left for acceleration. I'll keep it as a backup!" Liu Hongchang thought to himself.

However, he did not leave the vacant land where time could be accelerated idle, but planted crops such as rice, wheat, corn and soybeans.

The ten acres of space and land are a little tight nowadays.

Among them, ingredient planting, fruit orchard planting, vegetable planting, poultry and livestock breeding, and fish ponds each occupy one acre of land.

There are only five acres of land left for maneuver, but Liu Hongchang will not consume much for the time being, so it is enough before he finds new crops.

It was getting late. Liu Hongchang tied up the local products that Qin Jingru had sent him. After thinking for a while, he used the space cotton to make a quilt.

Then he made a small box out of straw and filled it with paper towels. After tying everything up, he rode away on his bike.

"The three-day holiday is over, and I have to go back to work tomorrow." Liu Hongchang thought to himself, "The only thing I haven't used yet is my cooking skills."

Now that Lao Ai’s physique and space have been used, his master-level cooking skills have not yet been used, so they must not be wasted.

However, when working in the cafeteria, he doesn't plan to show off his cooking skills. After all, for the company, stability is everything.

If he really cooked delicious food, and he was not around, the taste of the food in the cafeteria would plummet, and that would be a disaster.

But when taking private jobs, there is no such concern. You can show off your skills to the best of your ability, which makes it easier to build a reputation and make connections.

When we returned to Suxiang Hutong, it was already dark and every household had turned on their lights.

As soon as Liu Hongchang entered the yard, he heard the reading of He Wenyuan and He Wentao, brother and sister, and was very satisfied.

He Wenda was playing with the puppy under the eaves. When he saw him coming back, he shouted, "Brother-in-law is back!"

As soon as the voice fell, He Wenhui ran out of the kitchen with a spatula, smiling happily:
"Are you back? Rest for a while. The food will be ready soon."

"Don't worry. Someone gave me two bags of local specialties. Take them to the kitchen." Liu Hongchang parked the car and instructed with a smile.

He Wenhui's eyes lit up, and she trotted forward, asking curiously, "What are some local products?"

"Eggs, duck eggs, bacon, sausages, garlic, mushrooms, vermicelli, dates, dried persimmons, radish strips, potato cubes and more, quite a lot!" said Liu Hongchang.

"Just divide it into two portions and take one to mom on Sunday."

Qin Jingru is a really amazing woman. She just started dating him and she is so eager to give him so many things. I have to make her happier in the future.

"I understand. I'll take care of it." He Wenhui nodded slightly and took the local products.

He raised his chin again and asked, "You just bought some sheets this morning when I told you they weren't enough? What's in the box?"

"Paper towels are very convenient for going to the toilet or just holding them for use, you know." Liu Hongchang said with a wink.

"But just use it privately. Don't let Wen Yuan and Wen Tao know, otherwise it won't last for more than a few days."

He Wenhui smiled and said, "I'm still cooking in the pot. Please sit for a while. I'm going to get busy."

After saying that, he turned around and went to the kitchen with the local specialties in his arms.

Liu Hongchang brought his bicycle into the house and put it away, then put the bed sheets and paper towels in the closet, then turned and went to the next room.

When he stepped into the room, he was stunned because He Wenyuan and He Wentao were both kneeling on the ground reading, which he did not expect.

Yu Qiuhua sat quietly on the side, listening attentively, probably urging them to study.

Liu Hongchang smiled secretly, thinking that Wang Cuilan’s teaching yesterday was not in vain, as He Wenhui was now starting to order Yu Qiuhua around.

Moreover, this method is very effective. Yu Qiuhua definitely wants her children to have good grades, and He Wenhui does not have to face direct conflict with her younger sister and brother.

"If she had been this ruthless before, how could she have taught these two bastards the wrong way?" Liu Hongchang sighed.

Yu Qiuhua heard the footsteps and smiled, "Is Hong Chang back? Wenyuan, hurry up and pour tea for your brother-in-law."
