Lin Lan let him have one box of food whilst keeping the other to improve the flavours of tomorrow’s meals.
Although Han Qingsong had already eaten in the County, it had been more than 5 hours since and he was really hungry.
Lin Lan didn’t want him to go to bed hungry, so she would ask him to eat even more every time.
After cleaning himself up, Han Qingsong started to eat. In addition to the miscellaneous grain noodles and steamed bread, there were also an array of assorted pickles invented by Lin Lan and Erwang. In fact, they were all kinds of pickles that were chopped up and mixed with chilli oil. The taste was rather refreshing, especially when served with rice.
Lin Lan put away the other box and said happily, “It’s not entirely bad for you to be going out all the time. Look at the amount of different foods you bring home— this is considered a big subsidy.”
Other families could only afford to eat meat several times a year, scraping by the skin of their teeth during festivals to make things work. Currently, their family was able to afford having meat once every 3 to 5 meals.
That was already considered very extravagant living.
Han Qingsong saw her smile so brightly to the point where his heart warmed up. Because of that, he felt that his hard work was more meaningful and he had a higher motivation to continue.
After he finished eating and cleaned himself off, they went up the kang.
Lin Lan told him about Liu Xiuyun again.
“That Youth Chen is so hateful. How dare he have the nerve to deny the truth? Xiuyun is also weak, coaxing him and hiding the truth to protect him. Director Dong and I were so angry that we beat him up!”
Han Qingsong squeezed her waist, “Did he fight back?”
Lin Lan smiled and said, “With a man like you on my side, how would he dare?”
Hearing her speak so proudly, Han Qingsong let out a low chuckle as he gently rubbed her ear.
“If it was up to me, I’d say that this matter isn’t considered a seriously grave one. However, if we take into account how it’ll impact the village, then I think it would be better to help the Security Director’s family.”
Although being upright and popular were one of his top qualities, it was due to his strengths that also caused him to have many enemies.
It would be a fatal blow to their family if Liu Xiuyun’s case was really made public. Unlike Lin Lan, some people regarded their reputation as something that was more important than their lives.
Han Qingsong, “Shall I talk to that young man?”
Lin Lan was waiting for him to offer, “Sure, having you show up would definitely be more effective than anyone else.”
Lin Lan, “By the way, I have some good news for you.”
Han Qingsong hummed, but his mind was no longer on the topic.
“The Brigade wants to promote physical hygiene and Director Dong asked me for help. The Secretary Head also agreed, so he also gave me supplementary work points for this task. That means I will have 12 work points in the future!” She was quite proud.
Han Qingsong kissed her, “That’s amazing, our family will depend on your work points from now on.”
Lin Lan raised her chin with a smile, exaggerating an expression that would usually belong to the Master of a household, “Come, smile for this Lord!”
Han Qingsong stared at her with burning eyes. The corners of his lips curled up and the look in his eyes morphed into desire.
