Another World: That's too much. I have to start from scratch to get the contribution value.

Chapter 90 Misunderstanding

Gan Qi's legs felt as if they were filled with lead and he couldn't lift them at all.

She misunderstood.

but.

She turned around abruptly and asked, "Captain Pu, can you take me with you to the mine tomorrow?"

Pu Huai's expression flashed with surprise, as if asking how come such a short road has not been finished yet?

Out of politeness, he said calmly: "Deputy Captain Jimo should have notified everyone. You can prepare to go down to the mine in advance."

……

"Xiaojiu," Grandma heard the noise outside and leaned forward, "I don't think I've seen that girl before."

An Jiu placed the grass seeds near the window, stacked on top of each other, and replied, "We worked in the same mine some time ago, and we didn't talk much. I just ran into each other when I went out, so we teamed up to get grass seeds."

Grandma moved her legs and got out of bed. "You're not familiar with each other yet, right? Don't be too close. Be careful about everything. Life will be better slowly. Don't be impatient."

"Got it." Anjiu's throat was so thirsty that it was smoking. He left a bowl of water for grandma and drank the rest in a few gulps.

She wiped the water from the corners of her mouth, closed the curtain on the iron door, then sat on a chair and called her grandmother.

"Shhh."

The more you exercise, the faster you get hungry.

Apart from a fried dough stick I had in the morning, I haven't eaten a single grain of rice yet.

Anjiu reluctantly gave up the greasy and fragrant steamed bun and took out a steamed bun instead - he had to go out soon, and his mouth would have a strong smell after eating the steamed bun, which would be easily smelled.

"I'm not hungry yet." Grandma said softly.

"Eat less," Anjiu broke off half of a steamed bun and forced it into grandma's hand, "fill your stomach with it, you have to take medicine later."

Grandma had no choice but to break it into small pieces and put it into her mouth.

Anjiu knew that grandma was not lying. She was sick, and because she was often hungry before, her stomach had shrunk to a very small size, and her body metabolism was very low, so she needed to be nursed back to health.

If you eat too much oil at once, your stomach and intestines won’t be able to bear it.

An Jiu finished the steamed bun in a few big mouthfuls, then took out the medicine box from the space, prepared all the medicines he needed to take, and also took a vitamin tablet.

Grandma had been watching her, and when she saw her swallow a small white pill, her eyes changed immediately.

"W-What's wrong with you? Why are you taking medicine?!"

As she spoke, grandma put down the steamed bun in her hand and reached out to touch Anjiu's forehead.

When the slightly higher body temperature passed into her body through the skin, Anjiu's heart skipped a beat. The warm feeling of being seen, valued, and cared for flowed through her grandmother's palm and into every part of her body.

"I'm fine," An Jiu said, without moving his body. He just raised his eyes and looked over. "This is vitamins, for nutritional supplements."

Grandma looked at her suspiciously, "You didn't lie to me?"

"No."

"Don't lie to me and make grandma worry."

"understood."

Anjiu's obedient response finally put her grandmother at ease, and then she found that there was also a small white pill in her medicine.

He picked it up and held it up to the sun, muttering in surprise, "Such a small piece can provide nutrition?"

Then she put the medicine in her mouth and swallowed it with a sip of water.

After supervising grandma taking medicine, Anjiu got up and went out.

As soon as I walked out of the building, I saw Gan Qi waving at me on the slope opposite, with a seed grass beside her.

When An Jiu approached, Gan Qi said, "Others threw it away after processing it, but I thought it might be useful to you, so I picked it up and kept it for you."

Anjiu thanked him, and then found that there were several more people chasing seed grass on the slope.

"I saw them when I came, and many of them ran away to further places." Gan Qi was frustrated.

I had thought that since the wind was strong in the afternoon, it would bring a lot of grass seeds, which would at least be more than what I got in the morning.

I didn't expect that there were so many people, and they were working in teams, which was more efficient than the two of them. It would be good if we could keep up with the performance in the morning.

Anjiu's hair was blown by the wind. She looked at the pile of seed grass bouncing and rolling towards her in the distance, moved her joints, and didn't care.

"It's no use having a clear eye, whoever catches up will be the one!"

……

The sky darkened faster than usual.

Anjiu's cheeks flushed as she pulled the last seed grass towards Gan Qi's location.

Behind her, the man who couldn't run faster than her was holding his knees and gasping for breath, with resentment in his eyes.

But that's how competition works, whoever is faster gets to eat the meat.

In a harsh environment, if you don't use your best skills, you will go hungry. Being humble? That's what people who are above the poverty line would do.

There were more than ten processed seed grasses piled next to Gan Qi. She wanted to step on them together like An Jiu did.

But looking at my own shoes, I couldn't bear to put them on - I only had this pair of shoes, and if they were punctured, what would I wear in the future?

Fortunately, Anjiu came back at this time, and she started to collect seeds with relief.

During this time, she cautiously glanced at Anjiu, but saw that she picked up the thornless seed grass without saying a word and stepped on them one by one.

I don't mean to blame her at all.

Gan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, surprised that she was so easy to get along with, and didn't say much.

After dividing the seeds equally, the two of them carried the seeds home.

On the way back, Gan Qi looked back at the sky and said to An Jiu, "The clouds are getting closer. They may blow over in a few days."

Anjiu also looked back and saw that the dark clouds that had just passed the horizon had risen five centimeters compared to the morning, and were pitch black.

Gan Qi had a mixed expression, looking both afraid and happy, but when she turned her head and saw groups of people emerging from behind the slope, she became nervous.

Before the other person noticed her, she turned her head, hunched her back, and tried her best to make herself less noticeable.

"Anjiu," her voice was a little trembling, "you should be like me, don't attract their attention, it will be bad for us... and don't look back."

Although Anjiu was confused, he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

After entering the elevator, Gan Qi hurriedly pressed the up button with an anxious look.

Those people were still some distance away, and the elevator slowly moved upwards.

Only after getting away from that gaze did Gan Qi relax.

When she turned her head and saw Anjiu's inquiring gaze, she bit her lower lip and her face turned a little pale.

"Are you okay?" Anjiu asked.

Gan Qi shook his head, "No, it's okay."

"Those people behind——"

"No, it's just that we are girls and they are all boys. I, I... am scared."

Gan Qi turned his head away, not wanting to continue this topic.

After getting off the elevator, she also avoided eye contact and followed Anjiu silently. After placing the seed grass at her door, she hurried away.

Anjiu withdrew his gaze and unlocked the door.

Grandma was sleeping soundly on the bed. She walked lightly into the house carrying the grass seeds, intending to put them together with the ones she brought back in the morning.

But when I walked to the window, I saw the messy seed grass that had been broken into pieces and placed neatly against the wall.

"..."

Grandma spent the whole afternoon making this, no wonder she slept so soundly.
