Chapter Nineteenth: Mao Hao's Partnership

  Lin Feng looked at the house, although it was still very simple, but it was no longer a tent, and indeed a small room. Although only six or seven square meters... It seems that Lin Feng has been away for two days, and many things have happened! At least those tents have become small rooms! Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. Then Old Zhao said: "Let's go, the meal is ready, let's go eat, everyone knows you're back, and they won't start eating until you get back!"

  Lin Feng listened and directly waved his hand, saying: "Go, go, let's eat." After speaking, he felt something was off, suddenly remembering one thing, turning his head to ask: "Where is Xiao Qian? Why haven't we seen Xiao Qian?"

  Li Lao Yezi came over and said with a smile: "Haha, that girl heard you're back, she's rushing to make up for lost time in sewing your clothes..." After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Feng with a meaningful smile, even Zhao Lao and Wang Lao were looking at Lin Feng with ill intentions.

  Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine as he looked at their smiling faces, and blurted out: "What are you guys staring at me for? Did I grow flowers on my face or something? Stop looking, tell me where Xiao Yan is, I'll go take a look, and invite her to eat together, how can we do anything on an empty stomach?"

  "Walk west, the fourth house is it, yes, that's the house with the bright light! We'll go ahead and wait for you to come over and have dinner together!" Old Master Li said as he walked away with the other two old men, leaving behind a few of their "haha" laughs, which made Lin Feng feel very uncomfortable.

  Lin Feng strolled over and from outside, he looked at Xiao Jin, who was holding a needle and thread, carefully mending her pants under the dim light of the oil lamp. Lin Feng didn't even notice when he walked to the door. Lin Feng watched for a few minutes, feeling really bored, then he coughed.

  Xiao Yan heard the cough and immediately lifted her head, then a smile appeared on her face. She hurriedly put down what she was doing and stood up: "Feng Ge, you're back! Are you okay?"

  Lin Feng walked in, laughing: "I'm fine! Silly girl, everyone's going to eat now, what are you still doing here? The lighting isn't good right now either, just do it tomorrow! Come on, let's go eat first!"

  "Wait a minute, Lin Feng, come over and take a look. It's almost done. See if this piece of cloth I found can be used!" Xiao Xian excitedly pulled Lin Feng over to examine the patch of fabric being sewn on.

  "What? Where did you find this denim?" Lin Feng was petrified after taking a look at the fabric. How could it be denim? But what was in front of him was indeed patched up with denim!

  Xiao Yan opened her big eyes and looked at Lin Feng, asking: "What cowboy fabric? Are you talking about this piece of cloth?" Then Xiao Yan pointed to the patch on the cloth and asked Lin Feng, who nodded his head in surprise. Lin Feng was still unable to recover from the shock! If there really is cowboy fabric, then he won't have to wear these tattered robes anymore!

  Xiao Yan looked at Lin Feng and nodded, then smiled: "Feng Ge, I'm not clear about your cowboy fabric either. But I found a lot of materials, none of which were the same as yours. In the end, I had no choice but to find a thicker piece of cloth, and then find some thread that was similar in color, and sewn a thin layer on the outside. So from the outside, it looks like your original material! How's that? Am I clever?" After finishing speaking, she proudly smiled at Lin Feng.

  After listening to Xiaoyan's words, Lin Feng picked up his pants and touched them. Indeed, they didn't have the stiff feel of denim, but were instead unusually soft. Unless you touched the thread on the outermost seam, you couldn't tell it was denim at all! From the outside, there was no way to tell anything was different!

  Lin Feng stroked Xiao Yan's head and smiled, "Xiao Yan is really clever, but this fine work can be tiring for you! Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious! This time when we came back from the mountain, we brought a lot of grain, let's go eat white rice! We'll finish this work tomorrow during the day and stop working at night!" After saying that, Lin Feng took Xiao Yan out to the dining area.

  When they arrived at the place to eat, Lin Feng was surprised again. This place was like a miniature version of the square, with everyone gathered here to eat. There were fewer tables, and most people were squatting or sitting directly on the ground.

  "Little Maple, come over here!" Just as he walked over, he heard Old Man Li calling out to Lin Feng. In the middle of the room, there was a wooden table - or rather, it wasn't really a table, just a few wooden planks nailed together to form a frame, with a large stone slab on top that could seat seven or eight people. Compared to others, it was already quite good.

  The dishes on the table were very simple, just three small plates of wild vegetables. Lin Feng and Xiao Yan went over to sit on the stone stools that had already been selected, and then Old Zhao stood up and said to everyone: "Alright, Little Feng is here, let's eat!" As soon as he finished speaking, people started bustling around not far away, and before long, all sorts of dishes were brought out, which were actually just rice and steamed buns.

  Lin Feng directly picked up a steamed bun as soon as he came, and then felt that it wasn't right, thinking to himself that he was too crude. Then Lin Feng looked around in all directions. Zhao Lao saw that Lin Feng wasn't eating, so he said: "Little Feng, you must eat first, everyone is waiting for you to start, you are our benefactor after all."

  Lin Feng didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and waved his hand, stood up, looked around, and then said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, I won't say much more. I'm not good at talking, so just don't be polite, don't address me with honorifics, just call me Xiao Feng! Alright, I brought back food for everyone to eat, not for you all to look at!" After finishing speaking, Lin Feng took a big bite of his steamed bun, chewed twice, and then said: "Eat, eat, don't just watch me! Each person eats their own, eating your fill gives you energy to do other things! We still have a long way to go! Let's start eating!"

  Lin Feng had just finished speaking, and Old Zhao immediately got up and continued the conversation, saying: "Little Feng is right, grain is for everyone to eat, not just to look at, haha, let's all eat together!"

  After finishing, everyone started laughing. It can be seen that this group of people's laughter is very sincere, all from the deepest part of their hearts. Ah, this is also the happiness and sorrow of the lowest class of ordinary people in ancient times. Happiness is having no deceit or trickery, being full and warm is satisfying. Sorrow is that this lowest class of people has spent their whole lives in such a mediocre way!

  Before long, people started to finish their meals and scatter, and in the end, only their table was left. Lin Feng called Zhou Chen and Mao Hui over to sit down, and introduced Mao Hui to everyone. As for his background, Lin Feng didn't say much, after all, it was a secret, and the fewer people who knew, the better. He just told everyone that he had brought him out of the military camp, feeling that he had potential and could help with their daily military training. Everyone was also quite willing to accept someone who had been a soldier.
