Chapter 165 Li Huaide's Devotion
As soon as Li Huaide picked it up, he felt the weight of the cloth bag.
He knew that Li Qin had brought him wild deer this time.
In other words, the bag contained nearly 100 kilograms of wild venison, as well as deer blood, antlers, and other items.
A smile immediately appeared on Li Huaide's face.
Li Qin then spoke up to explain:
"During this trip to the countryside, I collected two wild deer from those hunters. One of them was handed over to the steel mill, and this is the other one."
Everything has been processed now; the meat, blood, hide, and antlers are all kept separate, making it convenient for Uncle Li and Aunt Mingyu to use.
At first, Mingyu thought that Li Qin's cloth bag contained at most wild game or some other kind of meat.
But to my surprise, it turned out to be a wild deer.
With her knowledge, she knew the nourishing effects of wild deer and was even more aware of its value.
Looking at the heavy cloth bag, Mingyu's gaze towards Li Qin grew even closer.
"Xiao Qin, you're too kind. Wild deer are indeed quite rare, so your aunt and Uncle Li won't stand on ceremony."
Mingyu smiled and nodded.
Li Huaide also had a smile on his face.
Li Qin smiled in response.
"Alright, the main reason I asked you to come here is that your aunt knows about your situation and wants to see you and have a meal together." Li Huaide put the cloth bag on the cabinet next to him.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Li Qin thanked him again.
"Alright, we're all family, no need to be so polite. Let's eat first."
Mingyu waved her hand and then led Li Qin to the dining table.
Li Huaide showed no displeasure upon seeing this.
Following behind Li Qin, they walked towards the dining table.
Several dishes were already laid out on the table at this time;
Vegetable dishes, meat dishes, cold dishes, hot dishes, and soups are all available.
Although I haven't started eating yet, I can tell from the smell that these dishes should taste good.
This filled Li Qin with anticipation.
Nowadays, Li Qin doesn't have a strong desire for money or power.
Even if he pursues these things, it's not because he truly likes them, but because they make it easier for him to collect emotional energy.
Or it could be to facilitate his collection of special materials, thereby completing some alchemy.
In addition, there is no need to worry too much about his lifespan, as he can advance to become a long-lived species at any time.
Nowadays, Li Qin still retains only a few simple and pure desires:
Learn knowledge, enjoy delicious food;
Therefore, when he saw the delicious food, a look of anticipation immediately flashed in his eyes.
Noticing Li Qin's gaze, Mingyu's face immediately broke into an even wider smile.
All the dishes on the table were prepared by Mingyu herself. Now that Li Qin was looking forward to them so much, she felt a sense of recognition.
This kind of spiritual recognition is even more satisfying.
Li Qin then enjoyed a lively meal at Li Huaide's house.
Perhaps Li Qin had already gained a lot of favor with Mingyu, because he hadn't originally planned to drink with Li Huaide.
Unexpectedly, Mingyu took out a bottle of specially supplied Maotai.
Let Li Huaide and Li Qin drink.
Even Mingyu had a few drinks with Li Qin.
It must be said that there is a reason why Maotai can be a special-supply liquor.
Not only does it have a wonderful aroma, but it also has a very rich and mellow flavor.
This time, Li Qin didn't use the storage ring to cheat; instead, he drank all the wine.
All three had a good tolerance for alcohol; after finishing a bottle, they weren't drunk, just slightly tipsy.
After dinner, Li Huaide and Li Qin smoked together, while Mingyu went back to her room to rest.
Through this meal, the relationship between Li Qin, Li Huaide, and Mingyu took another step forward.
They actually started to feel like uncle and nephew.
Li Qin also discovered some things through this meal.
For example, Li Huaide and his wife Mingyu still have a very good relationship.
This can be seen from the natural actions of the two at the dinner table.
In addition, based on what Li Qin had seen and heard at the steel rolling mill during this period, he had not heard of any romantic rumors involving Li Huaide.
This is quite different from the lecherous Li Huaide in the story.
Li Qin even suspected that his time travel might have created a butterfly effect, influencing Li Huaide.
In fact, Li Qin was overthinking it.
Li Huaide is not yet the future deputy director of the steel rolling mill; he is currently in a period of high ambition.
Naturally, they wouldn't dig a hole for themselves.
During that period, having illicit sexual relations was a serious offense. Once confirmed, even someone with connections would be severely punished.
Not to mention someone like Li Huaide who needs to rely on his father-in-law.
He wouldn't be so short-sighted as to ruin his political future for a moment of pleasure.
"Xiao Qin, this is the money from the wild deer, keep it safe."
Li Huaide took out an envelope and handed it directly to Li Qin.
Li Qin didn't stand on ceremony either.
Although he didn't care about the money, he had to accept it from Li Huaide.
Because, on the surface, the wild deer wasn't his; he had acquired it from a hunter, which required payment.
However, when Li Qinming received the envelope, he felt that its thickness was somewhat beyond his expectations.
It is obvious that part of this was indeed given to the non-existent hunter, while the rest was "hardship fee" from Li Huaide to Li Qin.
Li Qin naturally wouldn't refuse.
When a leader sincerely gives you something or some benefits, it's best for subordinates to accept them.
If you refuse, your superiors will feel that their subordinates are not on their side.
Li Qin happily put the envelope away.
Upon seeing this, Li Huaide immediately revealed a satisfied smile.
The two chatted for a while before Li Qin took his leave.
Upon hearing the commotion of Li Qin leaving, Li Huaide's wife, Mingyu, came out again.
She earnestly told Li Qin to come more often in the future.
Li Qin could tell that the other party's words came from the heart, so he did not refuse, but agreed with a smile.
Upon receiving his reply, Mingyu immediately smiled with satisfaction.
"Xiao Qin, this is the first time I've met you, and I don't know what you need, so I can only give you a red envelope. Please don't refuse it."
This is a custom from my hometown.
As Mingyu spoke, she handed a red envelope to Li Qin.
Li Qin initially wanted to refuse.
However, when he heard that it was a custom, he felt he couldn't refuse, but accepting it directly also seemed inappropriate.
Li Huaide, who was standing to the side, seemed to notice Li Qin's predicament and chimed in:
"Xiao Qin, please accept this. It's a token of your aunt's appreciation."
Hearing Li Huaide say the same thing, Li Qin finally accepted the red envelope:
"Thank you, Auntie."
After saying goodbye to Li Huaide and his wife, Li Qin went downstairs, got on his bicycle, and slowly headed towards the steel rolling mill.
He had been on leave for several days, and now that he has reappeared at the steel rolling mill, he needs to continue attending night school.
When Li Qin appeared, his classmates greeted him very warmly.
With the exception of a few, most of these people have powerful connections behind them.
Over the past few days, Li Qin's identity has become widely known within the "circle".
These people all knew that Li Qin was the nephew of Li Huaide, a prominent leader, so they naturally wanted to get close to him.
