Chapter 779 Encountering an Old Acquaintance During the Assessment Mission

Lin Sixuan turned her head to look at Xu Qizhi and teased him.

"Xu Qizhi, with your belly, it won't shrink even if you go hungry for three days."

Xu Qizhi looked down and touched his round belly, feeling that it wasn't as round as it was when he left home in the morning.

I couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
He frowned in displeasure, glared at Lin Sixuan, and gritted his teeth as he retorted, "What? Don't fat people have human rights? I'm really hungry."

Yu Muhuai listened to the banter between the two people beside him, remaining outwardly calm, but inwardly racking his brains to figure out how to continue the conversation.

Because she had no idea what to have for dinner, or even if there was dinner in the village at all.

Just as she was deep in thought, she heard a familiar voice beside her.

Luo Ji, with one hand in his pocket, said slowly, "Xu Qizhi, you should lose weight. You won't starve if you skip dinner."

But if you continue eating like this, your high blood pressure and high cholesterol will get out of control, and you'll definitely die sooner than others.

Xu Qizhi stomped his foot in dissatisfaction, causing all the fat on his body to jiggle.

"Luo Ji, it's one thing for Lin Sixuan to say it, but why are you making fun of me too??"

Luo Ji remained aloof, not even glancing at Xu Qizhi, but his words were piercingly incisive.

"I'm not making fun of you, but stating a fact. Obesity rates among young people are skyrocketing, and the average age of people with high blood pressure is getting younger and younger. I suggest you go home and get a check-up at the hospital, and start taking care of your health as soon as possible."

Hearing Luo Ji speak so earnestly, and even offer seemingly sincere advice, Xu Qizhi immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

He walked along dejectedly, kicking a small pebble at his feet, muttering, "Fine, fine, I'll go back and get a medical check-up, then start preparing to lose weight."

After saying that, he looked at the tall and handsome Luo Ji beside him and said somewhat sullenly, "Hmph, Luo Ji, let me tell you, I might be even more handsome than you after I lose weight."

Luo Ji scoffed lightly, rarely speaking up for his classmate, "You're overthinking it. Maybe you can be reincarnated."

"Aww!!" Xu Qizhi couldn't help but let out a mournful howl.

Yu Muhuai couldn't help but laugh to himself.

Loki's sharp tongue is as sharp as ever, perhaps even more so than before.

However, due to these interruptions, Lin Sixuan didn't have time to ask Yu Muhuai about dinner arrangements in detail.

This allowed Yu Muhuai to escape unscathed.

She glanced at Logy again.

I have a feeling that this guy's sudden increase in talking is somewhat deliberate.

Has her identity really been discovered?
Seriously? He can recognize someone who looks completely unfamiliar?
Although it cannot be completely certain, Yu Muhuai felt it was better to make plans as soon as possible.

If it is indeed discovered.
She definitely wouldn't rule out eliminating Loki.

Maybe we can even work together to help him get rid of all his other colleagues.

Hmm, that sounds a bit malicious, but it also sounds very interesting.
The group chatted and joked for a while before arriving at Ah Long's house.

Sure enough, there was a black cloth strip tied under Ah Long's eaves.

Before Yu Muhuai even reached the door, he shouted, "Dad, I'm home!"

There was no movement inside for a long time.

Even as Yu Muhuai stood outside the door, the door remained tightly shut, and the room remained completely silent.

Just as Yu Muhuai was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

The door is a double door that opens inwards. The wooden door looks quite old, covered with stains and dust, and looks rather dull.

The sky was almost completely dark at seven o'clock, and the room was dark as the lights were off.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man who was about 175 cm tall. He was of medium build, neither fat nor thin, and was wearing a blue-gray cotton and linen shirt. He had dark skin, calluses on his hands, and a lot of black dirt under his fingernails.

This is the typical appearance of people who work hard in the fields year-round. Zhukun Village is clearly a backward and impoverished rural area. When the group entered, they passed through the farmland and did not find any modern farming equipment.

I believe that the vast majority of people here still use this most primitive way of planting and farming.

Ah Long first glanced at Yu Muhuai, then looked at the other five people.

He was expressionless, his eyes lifeless, looking at the five strangers who had suddenly appeared without a trace of curiosity or doubt.

Yu Muhuai explained the whole story.

After listening, Ah Long nodded, took a step back, and opened the door completely.

"Come in quickly, it will be dark soon."

Ah Long's voice was low and hoarse, and his words were somewhat hesitant, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.

In stark contrast to Ah Long's attitude, Yu Muhuai turned to the other five people and warmly invited them into the house.

Ah Long's house is not large. Upon entering the main gate, you are directly in front of the hall, where meals, entertaining guests, and so on are usually held.

To the left of the hall is Ah Long's bedroom, to the right is the kitchen, and beyond the kitchen is Yu Muhuai's bedroom.

That night, Luo Ji and two other boys squeezed together with A Long, while Lin Sixuan and Tong Yi squeezed together with Yu Muhuai.

Fortunately, all the beds in the bedrooms are large communal beds, and the rooms are quite spacious, so a few people can squeeze in and sleep together.

Besides, it's still summer, so even if they don't have enough blankets, they can make do by sleeping fully clothed.

Having met Ah Long, his adoptive father, Yu Muhuai felt reassured and boldly asked a question in a low voice.

"Dad, with so many people suddenly showing up, what are we going to do for dinner?"

Ah Long remained expressionless, speaking in a hoarse voice that sounded like something rubbing against the ground.

"Eat the same way you used to, since we're not going to cook anyway."

As he spoke, Ah Long went to the kitchen on the right.

Yu Muhuai pursed his lips, pondering the meaning of Ah Long's words.

In any case, it's impossible to fire.

What does "No fire allowed" mean?
After thinking for a moment, Yu Muhuai decisively went into the kitchen to help Ah Long prepare dinner.

But Ah Long didn't need her help at all; she could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

Dinner was simple: cold dishes.

All the dishes are served cold.

Moreover, this is a completely cold dish; it wasn't even blanched in hot water. It's just a few vegetables washed, chopped, and seasoned.

And then it's all set.

No wonder there was no smell of cooking oil or food in the whole village.

It's no wonder that a dish that hasn't even been blanched can't have any aroma.

Some fruit and vegetable salads, even without blanching, are still edible because of the salad dressing, sweet sauce, and other condiments mixed together.

However, Ah Long's family only had soy sauce and salt as seasonings, and there was a faint, rotten smell in them.

When mixed with vegetables, it tastes very strange.

Because no one in the village except the village chief's house has electricity, a stove, or firewood, they can't even cook rice.
