Chapter 236 Saying thank you isn't enough
"Brother Yongqiang, we need to add two more thermos flasks to the construction site. A few more laborers have arrived these past few days, and we don't have enough bowls and chopsticks." Qin Liping was in charge of the site's logistics and knew much more about these trivial matters than Chen Yongqiang.
"Let's go check out the department store area," Chen Yongqiang said, walking forward. This time, Qin Liping took the initiative to reach out and grab his hand.
Chen Yongqiang glanced back at her, said nothing, and the two continued walking towards the department store area.
The two of them strolled around the mall and bought a bunch of odds and ends, including a thermos, bowls, and chopsticks.
Chen Yongqiang has almost spent the more than one hundred yuan he earned from selling wild game today.
The two men carried large and small bags out of the department store and loaded everything onto the tractor.
Chen Yongqiang glanced at the sky and said, "Let's go find a place to eat, and then we'll get down to business."
The important thing he was talking about was, of course, finding that coal mine owner.
"Okay!" Qin Liping herself couldn't explain why, but as long as she followed Chen Yongqiang, she was willing to listen to whatever he said.
During the meal, Chen Yongqiang ordered quite a few dishes as usual. Qin Liping had a small appetite, and after trying a little of everything, she was full, so she gave the rest to Chen Yongqiang.
"Brother Yongqiang, you spend money too fast!" Qin Liping couldn't help but say.
"Money is meant to be spent, and besides, I make money fast," Chen Yongqiang said nonchalantly, eating his meal with gusto.
During this period, he saved more than a thousand yuan by catching and selling wild game, which was more than enough to build a house.
Because of Qin Liping, Chen Yongqiang also discovered clues about the gold mine. Buying her these clothes today is a kind of compensation.
After having a meal and asking around, Chen Yongqiang drove his tractor to a newly developed residential area and stopped in front of a grand three-story villa.
There was a car parked in the yard, but no one answered the door after knocking for a long time.
"Looks like it was a wasted trip." Chen Yongqiang drove away in his tractor.
"Looks like I made a wasted trip." Chen Yongqiang drove the tractor away from the small villa.
About ten minutes later, the tractor stopped in front of the county's armed forces department.
Chen Yongqiang got out of the car and said to the soldier on guard, "Comrade, I'm looking for your Captain Shen."
"What do you need our captain for?" the soldier on guard asked.
"Captain Shen asked me to bring over some wild boar meat to improve the diet of the military dogs," Chen Yongqiang explained.
The soldier nodded: "Wait a moment, I'll go report."
He turned and ran into the yard. A short while later, Shen Hongjun strode out, greeting him with a smile from afar, "Brother Chen, you've finally delivered it!"
Chen Yongqiang lifted the burlap tarpaulin covering the truck bed: "Captain Shen, please check the quality of the meat first!"
He'd hunted that old wild boar a while ago, but it'd been sitting in his spatial storage.
When taken out now, it still looks fresh and hasn't spoiled.
Shen Hongjun stepped forward and took a look. He saw that the wild boar meat was bright red in color: "This meat is fresh enough. Brother Chen, you are reliable in handling matters."
Shen Hongjun turned to the soldier next to him and ordered, "Open the gate and let Master Chen drive the car in directly and unload it at the kennel in the backyard."
The soldier immediately opened the large iron gate of the armed forces compound.
Guided by Shen Hongjun, Chen Yongqiang drove the car directly to the kennel in the backyard.
Chen Yongqiang glanced at the kennel, which contained five or six military dogs, all of them German Shepherds.
Several dogs had already smelled the wild boar's blood and began to get restless, whimpering softly as they circled in their pen.
Shen Hongjun shouted in a deep voice at the kennel, "Quiet!" The restless military dogs immediately fell silent and squatted down.
Chen Yongqiang unloaded the wild boar, carried it to the designated place, and then installed the tailgate of the truck bed.
Shen Hongjun walked over: "How much is this wild boar?"
"Captain Shen, you really helped me out by buying cement last time. Consider this wild boar a small token of my appreciation. I don't need the money." Chen Yongqiang said sincerely.
"How can that be! Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. The amount should be the correct amount, otherwise how can I ask you for favors in the future?" Shen Hongjun was also working for the government.
Seeing his determination, Chen Yongqiang stopped refusing and quoted a fair price: "Wild boar meat is tough and doesn't fetch a high price anyway. Twenty yuan will do."
Shen Hongjun knew that the market price of pork had risen to more than one yuan per kilogram, and this wild boar must weigh at least two hundred kilograms.
He insisted on charging 30 cents a pound and forced Chen Yongqiang to give him 60 yuan.
Chen Yongqiang didn't refuse any longer. He accepted the money, thanked him, and prepared to leave.
Shen Hongjun asked another question: "By the way, how's your dog, Tianlang, doing? Bring him over for me to see next time you have the chance."
"Dogs raised in the countryside are wild, and I'm afraid that if I bring them to the county town, they might get out of control and bite someone, which would be a problem." Chen Yongqiang actually didn't want to bring them out.
Sirius is now almost 200 pounds, his size is really frightening.
Besides, Sirius is specifically for hunting, so bringing it to a crowded place like the county town wouldn't be of much benefit.
Shen Hongjun nodded: "That's true. Okay, drive carefully. If you find anything good in the future, remember to think of your brother first."
Chen Yongqiang started the tractor and drove Qin Liping out of the armed forces compound, heading towards Shimen Village.
Qin Liping had a lot of fun today.
Besides gaining a lot of experience in the county town, the most important thing was...
Chen Yongqiang bought her that beautiful new outfit and thoughtfully bought one for his sister as well.
"Brother Yongqiang, thank you for today," Qin Liping, who was sitting next to him, said.
"Simply saying thank you isn't enough," Chen Yongqiang remarked sarcastically.
"Then how do you want me to thank you?" Qin Liping's face flushed again.
Chen Yongqiang glanced at her sideways and said, "I was just kidding."
For the rest of the journey, the two of them barely spoke.
However, because Qin Liping was sitting very close, Chen Yongqiang's arm would inevitably touch her soft body when the tractor turned a corner.
Qin Liping's heart was pounding, but she didn't move away.
An unspoken understanding slowly formed in silence.
Qin Liping herself was surprised to find that she was touching Chen Yongqiang intentionally or unintentionally.
She felt no aversion whatsoever; instead, she felt a secret, blushing joy.
As they were almost back in Shimen Village, Qin Liping suddenly called out, "Brother Yongqiang, stop for a moment."
Chen Yongqiang turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
"I...I need to change out of my new clothes," Qin Liping said softly.
Her current outfit is too fashionable; it will definitely cause unnecessary speculation when she returns to the village.
Chen Yongqiang understood her concerns and found a secluded spot to stop the tractor.
"Go change behind those bushes over there, I'll keep an eye on things for you," Chen Yongqiang pointed to a patch of bushes not far away.
Qin Liping picked up the cloth bag containing the old clothes and quickly disappeared behind the bushes.
