Chapter 149 2 Slices of Bread
Chapter 149 2 Slices of Bread
Qi Lixia thought he was afraid that she would take the bread back and not give it to them, so she took out two more slices of bread.
"Whoever washes his hands first will get the two loaves of bread."
Lin Wu looked at her pitifully and sipped the saliva from the corner of his mouth: "Really?"
Lin Wen took his brother's hand and walked towards the ditch nearby.
"It must be true. The educated youth sister just gave us food, so she definitely won't lie to us now."
Lin Wu trusted his brother very much. After he said that, he immediately stuffed the remaining bread into his mouth, then ran to the ditch, washed his hands a few times, turned around and looked at Qi Lixia expectantly.
Qi Lixia thought about the fact that he hadn't washed his hands at all, and smiled and shook his head: "No, you must wash them thoroughly."
"Just like me."
Show your hands to the child.
The skin is white and tender, the fingernails are neatly trimmed, and there is no dirt in the gaps between the nails. At first glance, it is obvious that the hands are a pair of hands that have never been touched by water.
Lin Wu stretched out his hand and compared it with hers, then squatted in the ditch and washed it carefully.
Lin Wen had been washing his hands seriously from the beginning, and now he had finished. He raised his hands to show Qi Lixia.
"Sister Zhiqing, do you think this is okay?"
Qi Lixia took his hand and carefully checked it, then praised him with a smile: "It's really clean."
She handed him the bread and waited for the remaining child. She asked, "Are you twins? Are you the older or younger brother?"
Lin Wen ate the bread in small bites, looking very reserved. He nodded: "We are twins. I am the older brother and he is the younger brother. My name is Lin Wen and his name is Lin Wu."
Seeing that his brother had already started eating, Lin Wu became anxious. He stirred his hand in the water for a few times and then took a look. The mud on it was still not washed clean.
"Woooooo~"
Lin Wu suddenly burst into tears.
Qi Lixia thought he was bitten by a bug in the water, or saw a snake or something, so he ran over quickly.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
She took Lin Wu's hand and checked it carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she found no wounds.
Lin Wen also walked over worriedly, and when he saw his brother's dirty hands, he understood why he was crying.
He stuffed all the remaining bread into his mouth, then took his brother's hand and squatted down by the ditch to carefully wash his brother's hands.
Qi Lixia felt even more sad for some reason when she saw that Lin Wen, at such a young age, was taking good care of his younger brother.
She felt confused by this inexplicable emotion. Although she liked children before, she had never liked them to this extent.
"Sister Zhiqing, my brother has washed his clothes. Can you give him something to eat?"
While she was thinking, Lin Wen suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
Lin Wu stood beside Lin Wen sobbing. Qi Lixia broke off a piece of bread and handed it to him.
"Be good, stop crying and eat."
Lin Wu happily took the bread and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.
After he finished eating, Qi Lixia was about to leave.
Lin Wen suddenly grabbed the corner of her clothes. Qi Lixia turned around and looked at him and asked softly, "Anything else?"
Lin Wen whispered, "Sister Zhiqing, can I come and play with you later?"
Qi Lixia: "Of course, my name is Qi Lixia, you can just call me Sister Lixia."
"But you must remember not to tell anyone else about the food I gave you."
"Ok!"
The two children nodded vigorously at the same time.

Yu Qingtang had no idea that Qi Lixia would run into the twin brothers of the Lin family so soon.
At this moment, she was sleeping soundly on Yun Shuangjiang's bed.
Yun Shuangjiang was turning on a very loud electric fan, and there was a small stove next to it. She was so hot that she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Yu Qingtang woke up from his sleep, met Yun Shuangjiang's lifeless eyes, and asked in surprise: "Are you not asleep?"
Yun Shuangjiang: "How can you sleep in such a hot day?"
"A calm mind naturally cools down."
Yu Qingtang blinked guiltily. Of course, it was because of the snowflake cream produced by the system that she could live so moisturized in summer. However, she didn't dare to give this thing to others.
Yun Shuangjiang: "..."
Seeing that she was speechless, Yu Qingtang said with a smile: "I will bring you some watermelon tomorrow and put it in the well water to cool it down for a while. It will be super delicious."
"Where did you get the watermelon?" Nowadays, people have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, but she didn't see any watermelon for sale.
Yu Qingtang smiled mysteriously, and Yun Shuangjiang thought she had secretly gone to the black market, so he warned her in a low voice:
"We have enough food and clothing. It's not worth going to the black market for a bite of food. Now is the most important few years. Don't mess around."
Yu Qingxu knew that she cared about him, and felt a little warm in his heart.
"Don't worry, I grew them secretly in the mountains myself. I didn't buy them from outside."
Yun Shuangjiang was even more surprised: "Did you grow it yourself?"
"I planted a lot of them and let them grow freely. They can produce as many fruits as they can."
"Aren't you afraid that someone will pick it?"
Yu Qingtang's smile fell: "A lot of them were picked by others."
Li Jianye, that small-time profiteer, was even using the watermelons she grew to make money from her.
"Hahahaha~"
I don’t know why, but when I saw her expression, Yun Shuangjiang just wanted to laugh.
"Then bring me two tomorrow."
After getting off work in the afternoon and having dinner, Yu Qingtang took a walk towards the cowshed.
During the busy farming season, few people are able to go out for a walk after dinner. Most people do housework at home or sit in front of the house to enjoy the cool air.
Even Yu Qingxu and Cheng Wuyang said they were too lazy to move. Qin Qianqian from next door just wanted to spend time with her husband, and Yu Qingtang could only stroll around by himself.
People in the team were used to it, and those who had a good relationship with her would even say hello to her in front of the house.
Yu Qingtang walked all the way to the cowshed, and no one suspected that she had some other purpose in going there.
"Sister Yu."
The little Xiao Zijing was squatting by the stream washing dishes. When he saw Yu Qingtang coming over, he waved excitedly.
Yu Qingtang walked down the path beside him, carefully observing whether the watermelons he had planted before had borne fruit.
Xiao Zijing put his bowl and chopsticks by the stream and ran over.
"Sister Yu, come here."
Yu Qingtang followed him into the bushes, picked up a wooden stick and hit the surrounding bushes.
"It's summer now, there are snakes everywhere, so remember to scare them away when walking on a grassy road like this one."
Xiao Zijing nodded: "I remember it."
After walking a few steps, Xiao Zijing opened the bushes and said happily, "Sister Yu, look."
Several small watermelons weighing about five or six pounds suddenly came into view. With their dark green rinds, it was obvious that they were the watermelons grown by Yu Qingtang using seeds taken from the space supermarket.
Yu Qingtang squatted next to the watermelon and knocked it with his hands, "bang bang bang".
"It sounds like it's cooked."
Xiao Zijing also imitated her and knocked the watermelon "bang bang bang".
