Chapter 18: Li Huan's Secret

"Well, I got it, auntie."

Cheng Qiao still accepted the gold bracelet, this thing is also dangerous to put in Li's mother's place, it is better to put it in your own space, and it is not too late to take it out when Li Huan's sister Li Le gets married.

"I can't get more than the bride price, but I still have 200 yuan, so when you are discharged from the hospital, I will let the aunt of the Wang family come to kiss, and the bride price will be given in two days, and you and Li Huan will get married after the autumn harvest."

Mother Li saw Cheng Qiao accept the gold bracelet, and her heart finally let go, and she hurriedly arranged the time for the matchmaker and the bride price, which is called the pursuit of victory.

Hearing the two hundred yuan that Mother Li said, Cheng Qiao's heart was even warmer, she knew in her last life that Mother Li only had a total of about three hundred yuan in her hands, and finally gave all the money to herself.

"Okay, auntie, you go back early, tomorrow is the autumn harvest, you have to cook something delicious, and then have a good rest, otherwise you will have no energy tomorrow."

"Hey, then I'll go, you stay safe alone."

"It's okay, this is the hospital, it's going to be fine."

Mother Li left, Cheng Qiao hurriedly took out a big white steamed bun and ate it, from this morning to now, she has eaten an apple, but she starved to death.

"Cheng Qiao, I'm here to get you food."

Li Huan's voice appeared at the door, and the last bite of the big white steamed bun was stuck in Cheng Qiao's throat, unable to swallow or spit out, and rolled his eyes uncomfortably.

Li Huan hurriedly put down the lunch box in his hand, grabbed Cheng Qiao with one hand, and slapped her back a few times with the other hand, but Cheng Qiao was still uncomfortable.

Li Huan took the teapot again, fortunately there was water in the teapot, and hurriedly handed it to Cheng Qiao, Cheng Qiao took a big sip and poured it down violently, fortunately, the white-flour steamed buns were made of fine flour, and the softness was good, so he finally swallowed it.

"Cheng Qiao, what are you eating, why are you stuck in your throat, I know, is my mother here."

Li Chang was so frightened that his forehead was covered with sweat, and he secretly hated that he was too reckless just now, which scared Cheng Qiao, and almost made Cheng Qiao not trampled to death by the cow, but choked to death in his hands.

"Your mother gave me this."

Cheng Qiao, who was relieved, took out a red cloth bag from under the pillow, wanting to use it to divert Li Huan's attention, and sure enough, Li Huan knew what it was at a glance.

Hurriedly ran to the door and looked out, and when he saw that no one was coming, he smiled and asked Cheng Qiao to hide it, it's good, Cheng Qiao accepted his mother's gold bracelet, and he will be his fiancée in the future.

"Where have you been?"

"I'm going to cook for you, you see, the food in the canteen today is good, there are braised crucian carp, fried meat with leeks, and wowotou, you put the fried meat with leeks in wowotou to eat, it tastes very good."

Cheng Qiao glanced at the food suspiciously, does it take so long to eat, but he didn't say anything, just wanted to do it, Li Huan had already taken out his chopsticks, sandwiched the fried meat with leeks into the wowotou, and then handed it to Cheng Qiao, and picked up the teapot to turn on the water.

"You eat quickly, go back after eating, tomorrow's autumn harvest, don't exhaust your mother and your sister."

Cheng Qiao saw Li Huan come back, and pushed the rest of the wowotou and vegetables to Li Huan, it was enough for her to eat one wowotou, who let herself steal the big white steamed bun just now, as for the braised crucian carp, she disliked too many spines.

"You're eating too little, look at you, eat a little more, don't think about yourself, but also think about the baby here."

Li Huan's voice behind him was extremely soft, but there was satisfaction and hope on his face, and his eyes were shining, which made Cheng Qiao's eyes warm up a little.

"Doctor's rounds"

Two people appeared at the door, one was a doctor and the other was a nurse, Li Huan quickly stood up and got out of the way in front of the bed.

"Cheng Qiao, how is the injured place now, do you feel anything unusual?"

"Hello doctor, I'm a little dizzy, a little nauseous, and a little confused."

"This should be a slight concussion after the injury, it's fine to rest for two days, if you really don't feel well, come and call me, I'm on duty tonight."

"Then I'll stay and stay with me at night, otherwise if something is uncomfortable, my fiancée will be alone in this ward, and I won't worry."

"It's okay to stay with you all night, but you can't close the door, otherwise you'll be unlucky if you're reported, don't talk about fiancées, and husbands and wives can't do it."

The doctor had a good impression of Li Huan, few men in the countryside were willing to give up earning centimeters to accompany women during the busy farming season, let alone their fiancées.

Li Huan sent the doctor out, and stuffed a pack of cigarettes in the doctor's pocket, don't ask Li Huan how he knows that this doctor smokes, just look at his sallow fingers.

The doctor touched the pocket of his white coat and smiled knowingly, he also knew this guy's plans, and he would say a few words for this guy tomorrow if needed.

"Cheng Qiao, I'll go out to see if there's any meat to buy, go back to the village in the afternoon, see the movements of the Chen family, you wait for me to come back in the evening to help you cook."

"Oh, okay, there you go."

Li Huan quickly left, Cheng Qiao also lay down, her head really hurt, even if she took painkillers, but painkillers have time, and once the time passes, it still hurts.

Li Huan pedaled his bicycle to a house in the middle of the county, took out the key and opened the door, this is a two-way house, the outside looks dilapidated, and even the walls are about to fall.

There is also a lock on the gate that enters the back, Li Huan took out the key and opened the door again, the structure of the courtyard in the second entry is very simple, the middle is the hall house, there is a room on each side, the hall house also has a back door, and when you walk out of the back door is the backyard of this house.

Li Huan entered the room on the right, and there were a lot of homemade wooden stands in the room, and dozens of bags of rice and white flour in urea bags were placed on the stands, each bag of fifty kilograms.

There are also hanging pork belly one by one against the wall, there are about fifty or sixty so many, it should be the goods that have just been slaughtered, Li Huan picked and took ten of them.

Another bag of rice and a bag of flour came out, tied to the back rack of the bicycle, and then put the selected meat into a broken bag and tied it to the front gear.

After thinking about it, he took out a grain bag of rice noodles and a few pieces of pork and put them in the room on the left, and then Li Huan sat on the threshold, took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one and put it in his mouth, but did not light the fire, and when the thin monkey would bring someone to buy rice and meat, he had to wait here.

Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, there was a knock on the door, it was a code that had just been changed, one long and five short, Li Chang stood up, walked to the gate, and looked out from the crack in the door, sure enough, it was a thin monkey, followed by two men and a woman.

"Come on, come in."

Li Huan believes in the thin monkey very much, this guy looks a little weak, but in fact the roots are very strong, and he is very shrewd, whether it is the dark strip or other people in the black market, they can't avoid his eyes.
