Chapter 417 The Snail Girl Liu Qiaomei

"what?"

Su Xiaoxiao was so shocked she didn't know what to say. Her face instantly turned as red as a boiled shrimp. This wasn't right, was it? Why would Liu Qiaomei send her something like this?

As it turned out, Liu Qiaomei was embarrassed for a long time before finally revealing the truth. It turned out that there was a custom in her hometown that said that as long as you gave her such a big fat baby, you could wish her to have a son soon.

"Thank you, Qiaomei! You are so skillful! This chubby baby is beautifully embroidered. It looks so lifelike!"

Su Xiaoxiao liked it very much, and Liu Qiaomei seized the opportunity to say, "Sister Xiaoxiao, why don't I teach you how to embroider? I'm just killing time anyway."

Su Xiaoxiao really wanted to learn embroidery, but after trying a few times, she realized that she wasn't very good at needlework. After thinking about it, she decided to give up.

"No, Qiaomei, I don't think I can learn it. You're so skillful!"

Liu Qiaomei blushed a little at the praise and said somewhat shyly, "Sister Xiaoxiao, I know that your ambitions are much higher than mine. Every time I see you handling those things outside, you are so decisive and efficient, which makes me admire you very much!"

Su Xiaoxiao was almost embarrassed by Liu Qiaomei's praise, so she hurriedly and modestly explained, "I'm not that good. Embroidery and other needlework require talent, and I'm not naturally gifted in this area. No matter how hard I try, it will be in vain, so I won't waste my time here."

Just as Liu Qiaomei was about to say something, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something: wasn't Liu Qiaomei free? She could go and help deliver food to Liu Qing.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Liu Qiaomei, "Qiaomei, could you do me a favor later and deliver food to Liu Qing?"

Liu Qiaomei quickly replied, "Sure, sis, I've been idle at home anyway."

Liu Qing moved in a few days ago and met Liu Qiaomei and the others once, but only exchanged a brief greeting.

Although they both lived in Su Xiaoxiao's house, they resided in two separate courtyards, one on the east and one on the west. Liu Qiaomei didn't go out often, so they didn't see each other frequently. However, they knew each other, and now that Liu Qing was helping Su Xiaoxiao look after the land, she knew about it and naturally offered to help in any way she could.

After all, this is all Su Xiaoxiao's business. Now it seems that the friends Su Xiaoxiao has made are all thinking about her, which shows that she has indeed made some good friends who can confide in her and are willing to give everything for her, even go through fire and water for her.

Su Xiaoxiao is a very generous person who is willing to help others, which is why she has made so many good friends.

When cooking dinner, Su Xiaoxiao made extra meat dishes, knowing that Liu Qing was helping her watch the land and had to stay up late, which was very tiring.

Su Xiaoxiao took out the large food box that Qian Musheng had given her before, and made more than a dozen side dishes, both meat and vegetables, filling the food box completely.

"Is it heavy? Should I come with you?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked Liu Qiaomei, but Liu Qiaomei shook her head.

“It’s no big deal, and the shack isn’t far from here. I can carry it!”

Su Xiaoxiao also reminded Liu Qiaomei to be careful on the road and to avoid strangers if possible.

Furthermore, she asked Liu Qiaomei to pass on a message to Liu Qing: "Tell Liu Qing that if those bad guys come to cause trouble, she must be careful for her own safety. At the same time, she should try to call for help so that everyone can catch these thieves red-handed and take them to the village head for judgment." Liu Qiaomei kept these words in mind, then turned and left with the food box.

They traveled in silence, and Liu Qiaomei arrived at the shack at the edge of the field in just over ten minutes. She saw an oil lamp lit inside the shack.

There was no one outside; Liu Qing was probably inside the shack.

Liu Qiaomei walked to the door and heard singing coming from inside.

She was utterly astonished. The singer was truly beautiful. Liu Qiaomei had learned some traditional folk arts from her father since childhood, including playing musical instruments and singing, so she wasn't exactly a novice. She could tell that the singer inside had a deep, resonant voice and a melodious, captivating tone—it was truly unexpected. Although he was only singing ordinary folk songs, Liu Qiaomei stood outside the door for quite some time, completely forgetting why she had come there in the first place.

Only after the singing inside stopped did Liu Qiaomei knock on the door. There was a rustling sound of shoes being put on inside the shack, and then the door opened, and a very handsome and burly young man came out.

Although they had only met once, they were both young people and remembered who each other was.

Liu Qing was very surprised. "Miss Liu, what brings you here?"

Liu Qiaomei quickly held up the food box in her hand and said to Liu Qing, "This is a food box that Sister Xiaoman asked me to bring over. It contains today's dinner!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Qing quickly took the food box and said to Liu Qiaomei, "Come in and sit down!"

Liu Qiaomei originally intended to give the food box to Liu Qing and then leave, but she remembered that Su Xiaoxiao had told her that she had something to tell Liu Qing.

So she followed Liu Qing into the house. Liu Qing was a very forthright person; he was the kind of person who liked to talk.

"This food box is quite heavy. Did you carry it all the way here by yourself?"

Liu Qiaomei glanced around the shack and found that it was just a simple temporary dwelling with a bed, a small round table, and a small stool. There was nothing else.

Liu Qing was alone in this shack. If Liu Qiaomei's guess was correct, the person who sang the folk song earlier must have been Liu Qing.

Were you the one who was singing just now?

Liu Qiaomei asked shyly.

"Ok!"

Liu Qing scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I just sang for fun. There's nothing else to do here anyway. I'm planning to go check on the fields again after I finish eating. Singing is partly for fun, and partly to give myself courage!"

Liu Qing spoke quite simply, which made Liu Qiaomei laugh. She was amused by Liu Qing's words, "You're so tall, are you afraid too?"

Liu Qing said apologetically, "I'm not afraid of bad people, I'm just a little afraid of the dark. I get a bit scared when it gets dark outside. I've been afraid of walking alone at night since I was little. By the way, Miss Liu, you should hurry back while it's still dark!"

Liu Qiaomei laughed and said, "I'm alright, I'm not too afraid of the dark. But Sister Xiaoxiao told me to be careful and to shout loudly if I see those people causing trouble. There are people in the other shacks around, so we can all come out together and catch them. Then we can take them to the village head for a trial and leave them with nothing to say!"
