Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Jealousy

Seeing that a cart full of items had been brought to Luo Qiao’s house, everyone was green with envy and anxious to know exactly what was on the cart.

Luo Qiao opened the door, letting them in, and said, "I don’t have any cups, so I won’t pour you water, but the cucumbers I’ve grown are quite good. I’ll wash a few for you to taste."

The party secretary and the brigade leader helped carry the stuff into the kitchen, and just as Luo Qiao had finished washing the cucumbers, she filled a basin with water and let everyone wash their hands before handing out a cucumber to each person.

The party secretary and the brigade leader had other matters to attend to, so they left the cart behind and took their leave, telling Luo Qiao that she could just return the cart to the brigade headquarters after using it.

Luo Qiao thanked them and saw them out the door before coming back.

She said, "Please have a seat in the courtyard for a while, I’ll go prepare some things for you."

First, she went to the backyard where she used her Special Ability to ripen some of the melons she had grown. She picked a dozen or so, and also harvested a good amount of various vegetables, plus some dried vegetables and mushrooms she had prepared before. From her space, she took out three pounds of dried red dates.

She also wrapped two packages of her homemade pickled Chinese cabbage and crispy cucumbers in paper from the space. These items didn’t look impressive, but anyone who knew their stuff would realize they were no ordinary goods.

Finally, she took three fish out from the kitchen, but then there was the problem of how to transport them. So, she turned to Qiao Yu, "Do you have a bucket for adding water to the tank in your car?"

Qiao Yu replied, "Yes, what’s up?"

"Scoop up these fish and later pour them into your bucket."

Qiao Yu said, "We don’t need to take the fish, you keep them for yourself."

Luo Qiao responded, "There’s a pond up the mountain where you can catch them. You take these back to eat; I can go up the mountain and catch more later."

Looking at the items in the yard, she was thankful that the brigade leader and party secretary had left the cart behind.

After loading the items onto the cart, she locked the door and headed to where the cars were parked to load the items onto the vehicle. Qiao Yu handed Luo Qiao a piece of paper with their three names, their work units, addresses, and phone numbers.

Seeing that Luo Qiao was reluctant to take it, Qiao Yu said, "Keep it, just in case you need help, then you can call the numbers on there."

Qiao Aihong said, "Luo Qiao, if you have time to come into the city, you must come visit me. I’ll treat you to something tasty."

Qiao Yu brought over the water bucket from the car and poured the fish into it. The car was packed full, with items even placed on the seats in the back row.

After seeing them off, Luo Qiao carried the empty bucket to the warehouse.

Upon entering, someone asked, "Luo Qiao, were those people just now the ones sending you packages?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "No, I helped them out with a little favor before, and they happened to be passing by on business, so they came to check on me."

One woman remarked, "They must have come to bring you a thank-you gift. You’re so lucky; why can’t we ever come across such good fortune?"

Another woman added, "Dream on." Everyone in the warehouse laughed.

Auntie Gao had already collected the fertilizer for Luo Qiao. Anyway, two bags for half a day would earn her seven work points.

The curious woman wanted to ask more questions, but Luo Qiao said, "Auntie, this has already delayed us for a while, and I’m afraid we might not finish the task on time if we don’t start now, so I better get to work."

With that, she took out the thread gloves Auntie Gao had given her and sat down in the same spot as the day before.

Lu Yichen had brought Stone breakfast in the morning and had recounted to him what he and Luo Qiao had discussed. With tears in his eyes, Stone said, "Thank you, Brother Lu and Sister Luo Qiao."

Lu Yichen comforted him for a bit before leaving. Stone endured the pain, turned his head to watch as Lu Yichen disappeared at the doorway, and then quietly cried for a while.
