Chapter 240 Who sent it?

Pei Yanning has been very busy recently.

After the experts from Country S left, the project that his team, which had been secretly copying the machine tools, had set up privately was brought to the surface. They began to assemble and debug the work that had been done secretly. Pei Yaning was busy running around. Some parts were not suitable and were sent back for redoing. Occasionally, when they encountered parts that their machinery factory could not make, he had to contact people from other places.

There is also the matter of the laboratory building.

Previously, due to the presence of experts from Country S and limited funding, Pei Yanning's team had never had a more formal venue. Now, taking advantage of the reconstruction, the necessary facilities for the research institute can be slowly acquired.

Also, the incident some time ago when Pei Yanning's study documents were found served as a reminder to everyone that the security measures are still not sufficient.

This is what Pei Yanning has been busy with recently.

On this day, Lingxi was the only one at home.

Gu Si was called away by the people from the research institute, and Pei Yanning went to do his own thing.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. She was a little surprised and went to open the door. She saw half a bag of wild vegetables at the door. There was a pheasant tied with hemp rope in the wild vegetables. Looking at the way the knot was tied, it was somewhat like her eldest brother's little habit.

Can--

She looked at the untidy-looking wild vegetables and the skinny pheasant, and she felt that it was not...

Lingxi was a little confused, but she looked around a few times. Every time she saw someone, she thought for a moment and finally took the bag into the yard.

Now the sweet potato vines planted in every household have grown. Both the sweet potato leaves and the sweet potato roots can be eaten. Picking two handfuls of sweet potato leaves can make a meal.

There were vague rumors that the factory was flooded with all kinds of people, including those who came to visit relatives for free meals and those who were begging for food, in addition to the tens of thousands of employees in the factory.

Now the situation of mixed crowds in the factory is becoming more and more serious.

This bag has been left here, and you never know who will steal it in the end!
In the evening, Pei Yanning and Gu Si returned home and also saw the things in the bag.

With just one glance, Pei Yanning came to the conclusion: "It wasn't brought by your eldest brother."

Pei Jin wouldn't come here with only half a bag of rough-looking wild vegetables and a pheasant.

These may be considered very good in other companies, especially in this time when everything is scarce.

But, it’s not the case in Pei’s family…

The situation at home is not that difficult.

Pei Yanning looked at Lingxi's helpless expression and said with a smile: "It's okay, Dad will take care of it."

After dinner, Pei Yanning went out directly with his things.

Lingxi handed the towel to Gu Si and asked him to help wipe her hair. She watched her father leave, feeling a little curious.

"who is that?"

Things like secretly sending things...

Gu Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dad is so charming. It's been such a long time, and people still miss him."

Eh?
Lingxi tilted her head to look at him, then remembered that her hair was still wet, and rested her head on his lap obediently without moving.

But, the sound couldn't hide the gossip.

"How come I haven't heard about it? Dad even went to look for him!"

The sound is a bit sour.

Gu Si laughed out loud instantly: "What are you thinking about? It's Zhou Yang."

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

When you think about it this way, it does make sense. Zhou Yang is also Ming Yang. He and Ming Hui are almost inseparable in Peijia Village, so it's not surprising that he could learn Pei Jin's knot-tying technique.

As for stuff...

No one cared.

Their family had no shortage of food, and at most they felt a little comforted that the child remembered them.

However, three or five days later, Lingxi received another sack with the same situation. It was still filled with wild vegetables, but this time it contained a rabbit. Lingxi: “…”

Pei Yanning and Gu Si were also silent.

Gu Si looked at Pei Yanning in surprise. Pei Yanning rubbed his brows and said, "Last time it was that kid. This time, it might be the same..."

Ming Yang was resettled in a family that Pei Yanning found. The family lived not far from the machinery factory. They were an elderly couple who were in good health. They retired two years ago and have a pension. All their children died on the battlefield, and the surrounding street offices took good care of the elderly couple.

Mingyang's life was not difficult when he came to their home.

The old couple had no relatives, but they showed love and care for their adopted grandson who was now registered under their son's name.

But Mingyang had experienced hardship, and now seeing that life was about to get difficult, he put all his effort into bringing things into his home, including wild vegetables, mushrooms, and even edible tree leaves. He brought them all home.

Occasionally, I would use the methods I learned from Pei Jin and Uncle Pei to make traps and catch some pheasants and rabbits.

That’s how the things sent to the Pei family came about.

Lingxi got a headache after listening to this.

You definitely cannot accept things from other people’s children.

But it was sent back the first time, so it seems a bit inappropriate to send it back again this time.

"How about putting them aside first and returning them to him later?" In a year or two, these things can be used as life-saving things. There is really no need for their family to take them now.

but--

"When the time comes, the rabbit will be replaced by smoked rabbit, and the wild vegetables will be replaced by dried vegetables!"

Pei Yanning pondered for a moment.

"That's fine. Next time I'll tell him not to send it here. If he doesn't listen, I'll smoke it first. This can be kept a little longer. I'll just return it to him when the time comes."

Lingxi had no objection, and Gu Si didn't care.

It was also because meeting a little kid who knew how to be grateful really made people feel better, otherwise Lingxi and the others would really not bother to put in any thought.

At this moment——

"What else?"

Pei Jin came in from outside, holding a backpack full of melons and two pheasants at the bottom.

Seeing that Lingxi had already picked two to wash, he sighed.

“In this kind of weather, only melons are delicious.

The wheat in the fields had died from drought, and everyone in our village had pulled them out and planted sweet potatoes. We almost had a fight with the Party Secretary because of this."

Pei Jin briefly told the story of the family.

Pei Yanning hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you move over here..."

The weather was hot, the ground was hard from the sun, it wasn't raining, the tap water supply was limited, the water in the small river in the factory was almost dry, there were a few pressure wells near the townhouse, but the water level was gradually decreasing...

But for some reason, the water level in the well in their backyard, which they dug for irrigation, has never dropped.

Pei Jin shook her head.

"Most of the water in the village's wells can only be pumped out a little bit every once in a while, and then a little bit again every once in a while. After a day's work, the water we get out is probably enough for drinking.

But we have enough water at home, as the well water in both yards of our house is not flowing down very often.

Dad didn't let us tell anyone, but we still went to the creek to fetch water almost every day.

Yes, it is the stream in our forest. It is not deep and not very wide. It flows out from the mountain. The water level has not changed much until now. It flows so slowly.

I saw it when I went to pick melons. There was no shortage of water near the cave at my brother-in-law's place, and the water level in the pool had never dropped. But I saw some animal footprints nearby, so I set up a few traps. I'm afraid I'll be able to catch something next time I go back.

To be honest, the ground is dry.

My father and I were thinking that if things weren’t going well for you here, we could just go back to the village and live.”
