Chapter 359: Chapter 356: Pinch a Handful
The duty room door was closed, but the window was open, and as soon as Zhang Hao got close, he saw the uncle sitting on the chair.
Talking with his colleague.
"Damn, during the patrol just now, I saw a woman, incredibly beautiful."
"How beautiful can she be, better-looking than the stars on TV?"
Obviously, the colleague wasn’t impressed by the beauty he described, believing that the prettiest women were all on TV.
"Don’t doubt my words. I would have taken a picture if I’d known. The most crucial point is that the lady wasn’t even wearing a bra."
"Her pair were like giant balloons. I was thinking of finding a chance to get closer, might even have had some fun."
"What a joke, if they were like balloons, they’d be sagging to her belly button. Stop bullshitting me."
"Hey, why would I lie to you? With my character, do I need to lie about this? I’m telling you the truth."
"If only her man hadn’t returned so soon, I might have copped a feel."
"I really don’t know if I’ll ever get the chance to meet such a fine girl again in this lifetime."
The colleague rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Grabbing his lunch box, ready to get some food, he stepped out of the duty room just as Zhang Hao, who was about to knock on the door, arrived.
"Who are you looking for?"
"I was wondering if there’s any farmhouse happiness nearby; we’re looking for a place to grab a bite."
"Well, I don’t think we have that here, but if you don’t mind, you can come with me to the canteen. The food’s simple, but it’ll definitely fill you up."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao smiled and said, "That’s fine, Xiaohui, let’s follow this big brother to their staff canteen for something simple, and tonight I’ll take you out for something better."
He Qianhui approached Zhang Hao cautiously, glancing subconsciously at the duty room.
She saw that uncle, when nobody else was paying attention, tug at Zhang Hao’s sleeve.
"Hao, let’s find our own place to eat. And I’m tired today anyway, I don’t want to keep hiking this afternoon."
When Zhang Hao heard He Qianhui say that, he got worried that she might not be feeling well.
"Don’t want to hike anymore? Then let’s head back."
The uncle in the duty room, upon hearing this, quickly stepped out.
"So, it’s the pretty young lady! Don’t leave, don’t leave. Our canteen might be a bit small, but the cook’s skills are not bad at all."
Seeing the uncle’s insistence, He Qianhui didn’t want to dampen everyone’s spirits.
"Alright, alright, then let’s check it out."
They followed him to the employee canteen, which was nothing but several cut-out containers with some stoves and tables inside.
The food was just simple stir-fries, nothing special.
But the most critical thing was that it was enough to fill them up.
He Qianhui had Zhang Hao get the food while she found a seat.
No sooner had she sat down than the uncle came over with his lunch box.
"Young lady, didn’t expect to see you again. Weren’t you continuing the hike? Did you suddenly get hungry? If so, eat mine first; I haven’t touched it."
The uncle pushed his lunch box towards He Qianhui.
He Qianhui shook her head, gesturing towards the canteen.
"My husband is getting food for me already. You must be famished after a busy morning, uncle. You go ahead and eat."
The uncle laughed heartily, his eyes nearly squinting into slits.
Then he took his lunch box back and called out, "Old Liu, hurry up and come eat. We still have to go back to work later."
Old Liu yawned while holding his lunch box and stared at his phone.
He Qianhui was curious about what was so engrossing on that phone that he couldn’t look away.
Old Liu found a spot to sit down, right next to He Qianhui.
He Qianhui glanced at the phone lying on the table.
Her face turned red and her heart raced. Both uncles were of similar age and stoutly built.
According to what’s popular now, they exuded a strong sexual presence!
It was hard not to feel attracted.
And on the mobile phone was a short video of a beauty dancing.
Zhang Hao once wanted her to make such videos, but He Qianhui wasn’t willing, so that idea went nowhere.
Zhang Hao carried the meal back, and He Qianhui hurriedly took it from him, bowed her head to eat without saying a word.
Zhang Hao looked at the two older brothers, who also didn’t seem inclined to talk to him, so he took the initiative to speak up.
"I didn’t expect the cook’s skills to be really quite good, just a stir-fried vegetable, but it tastes so good, could he be some top chef from somewhere?"
The uncle vigorously waved his hands: "What, he can only cook these few dishes. If he couldn’t cook these few dishes well his entire life, he should just quit doing anything else."
"It’s just because you find it novel since it’s your first time eating it. If you ate the same for three meals straight, you would feel sick just looking at it."
He Qianhui, while eating, kicked Zhang Hao’s leg with her foot.
Zhang Hao turned back to look at her: "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing, just remember we need to pay after we finish eating. Don’t think it’s free, alright?"
Zhang Hao nodded repeatedly: "Don’t worry, no problem."
When the uncle heard He Qianhui speak like a stranger, he laughed and said there was no need to pay, it was just a meal, how much could it be worth?
Moreover, the cook made so much food today that even if the two of them didn’t eat, they’d be eating leftovers from lunch that evening.
Them helping to share some meant there would be fresh food straight from the pot in the evening.
This was also a good thing.
"Old Liu, don’t you agree?" the uncle said.
Old Liu glanced at He Qianhui, feeling that while the woman was pretty, she wasn’t to the extent of attracting him.
Although she had a good figure, she was too big, and thus not very appealing to him.
So, Old Liu wasn’t excited about He Qianhui’s presence.
After eating their fill, Zhang Hao took He Qianhui back to the car.
As soon as she got in the car, He Qianhui finally let the anxiety she had been holding drop back into her stomach.
"What’s wrong with you? Ever since I came back from the restroom, you’ve been downcast."
"How about we go for hotpot tonight, or if that doesn’t work, I’ll buy some groceries and cook for you at home."
He Qianhui sat in the passenger seat with her eyes closed, silent from beginning to end.
Zhang Hao was the only one talking to himself. After about seven or eight minutes, Zhang Hao sat up straight, wanting to see what was actually wrong with He Qianhui.
This kind of situation had never happened before.
When he leaned in to check, he discovered that the woman had actually fallen asleep, and was sleeping quite peacefully at that.
Zhang Hao suddenly had a mischievous thought and took the remote control for the small toy out of his pocket.
As he hesitated whether to press it, he saw the ranger uncle coming out of the scenic area.
He stood in the open space looking left and right, as if searching for someone.
Zhang Hao rolled down the car window and took a couple of looks.
And their eyes met.
"Wait, don’t go!"
The uncle shouted while running towards the car.
"Wait, don’t go, you’ve dropped something."
The uncle was quite kind-hearted, handing a bag to Zhang Hao.
"Is this yours?"
Zhang Hao shook his head after examining it: "No, today we only brought two backpacks. This small bag might belong to someone else; there were many people here today for the weekend."
The uncle nodded, took back the bag, and headed back.
"That’s true, we’ll just have to keep it in the duty office for now. Someone might claim it by the afternoon."
"Sorry about that, your wife must be tired. You should head home quickly."
Zhang Hao nodded, watching the ranger uncle turn back, and then he rolled up the car window.
He started the car, ready to head home.
