Chapter 551 The Joy of Getting Things for Free
Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, Li Qin quickly smiled and shook his head.
"Uncle Li, no need. I brought these three boxes specifically for you and Aunt. As for me, don't worry, I've kept some for myself."
Seeing that Li Qin's expression didn't seem fake, Li Huaide nodded and accepted all three boxes of rabbit heads.
After seeing Li Huaide put away all the rabbit heads, Li Qin originally planned to ask him for some Chinese herbs and good wine.
Before he could even speak, Li Huaide opened the drawer and took out most of a pack of cigarettes, handing it to Li Qin.
"Here you go, I know you like this kind of thing."
Li Huaide looked at Li Qin with a strange smile.
It's like watching your own mischievous child, or like watching a promising younger generation.
Li Qin felt quite uncomfortable under that gaze.
But his body language betrayed him, and he accepted the cigarette that Li Huaide handed him.
In fact, Li Qin himself did not realize that when Li Huaide took out a cigarette from the drawer earlier, his eyes lingered on this pack of cigarettes for a while after he entered the office.
Li Huaide also noticed this.
Originally, Li Qin planned to find an opportunity to get the cigarettes from Li Huaide.
Unexpectedly, Li Huaide gave it to him voluntarily.
This immediately diminished the fun for Li Qin, the fun of getting something for free.
This was something Li Qin found somewhat unacceptable.
A strange light suddenly flashed in Li Qin's eyes;
"Uncle Li, I see you have a few bottles of good wine in your cabinet. Why don't you give them to me too?"
Li Huaide's expression froze instantly, then he looked at Li Qin speechlessly.
"You're really not being polite. Those bottles in my cabinet are all good wines. I usually don't even drink them myself, and you're trying to take them all without asking."
Inside Li Huaide's cabinet were indeed several bottles of fine wine; otherwise, Li Qin wouldn't have bothered with them.
Despite being told that, Li Qin didn't feel embarrassed at all.
On the contrary, he smiled calmly.
Seeing Li Qin's shameless behavior, Li Huaide's face once again showed a speechless expression.
However, Li Huaide eventually relented;
"I drink a little bit myself occasionally, but you can only take one bottle."
Li Huaide is someone who knows how to enjoy life. Although he can't drink alcohol at work, it's okay for him to have a little bit every now and then.
Li Qin nodded quickly;
"Don't worry, Uncle Li."
Although Li Qin verbally agreed, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, clearly indicating that he had other plans in mind.
Unfortunately, Li Huaide did not see it.
"Then you go ahead with your work, I'll be going now. I haven't had a proper rest for several days since I went to the countryside, I'm going to go back and get some rest first."
Having said everything he needed to say, Li Qin decided to leave.
Li Huaide did not stop him.
In his view, Li Qin had indeed worked very hard in the countryside for several days, and it was normal for him to want to go back as soon as possible.
Li Huaide then waved his hand;
"Since you're tired, go home and rest early."
Li Qin nodded and then stood up.
However, he didn't walk directly out of the office, but went straight to the cabinet in Li Huaide's office.
Then Li Qin opened the cabinet.
His gaze went straight to the bottom floor.
At the very back of this floor, there were three bottles of thatch neatly arranged.
A smile immediately appeared on Li Qin's face.
He immediately took out a cloth bag and put all three bottles of wine into it.
This is the same bag we just used to hold the three lunchboxes.
The lunchbox filled with rabbit heads was given to Li Huaide, but Li Qin took the bag back himself.
Now it's come in handy.
Because Li Qin was facing away from Li Huaide, his body blocked the view of what was inside the cabinet, so Li Huaide did not see how many bottles of wine Li Qin had taken.
He thought Li Qin had only taken one bottle, but little did he know that Li Qin had bought the rest for him.
In the end, not a single bottle was left for him.
"Uncle Li, I'm leaving now."
After filling the cabinet with wine, Li Qin closed it again and then quickly walked out of the office.
Li Huaide didn't react at first.
But they soon realized something was wrong.
In his memory, Li Qin was very polite and would only say goodbye in person.
Li Huaide subconsciously glanced at Li Qin's back;
His expression changed the next second;
"Hey kid, stop right there!"
Li Huaide immediately shouted.
He hadn't seen Li Qin take the wine because Li Qin had blocked his view earlier, but now he could clearly see that the cloth bag in Li Qin's hand was full.
That's clearly not something that can be sustained by just one bottle of wine.
Moreover, the outline of the bag reveals that it contains three bottles of wine.
Upon hearing Li Huaide's loud shout, Li Qin not only did not stop, but instead quickened his pace to walk out.
Upon seeing this, a look of urgency flashed across Li Huaide's face;
"You've gone too far! You should at least leave me one bottle. What am I supposed to drink if you take them all?"
Li Huaide quickly got up and then walked out from behind the table.
He wanted to catch up with Li Qin;
He never thought he could take all the wine back, or even two bottles. He would be satisfied as long as he could get one bottle back from Li Qin.
Unfortunately, Li Qin didn't give him a chance at all.
Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, Li Qin even sped up and ran outside.
As he ran, he said, "Uncle Li, my aunt told me before that your health wasn't very good, and asked me to keep an eye on you when I was at the steel mill."
Drinking alcohol is bad for your health, so I confiscated all of it. I'm doing this for your own good, so you don't need to thank me.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qinren ran out of Li Huaide's office.
Seeing this, Li Huaide knew that it was impossible to get those three bottles of wine back this time.
However, what Li Qin just said was not nonsense.
Li Huaide's wife did indeed tell Li Qin that Li Huaide's health seemed to be somewhat poor, even though he had been drinking Li Qin's secret medicinal wine recently.
But that could only slowly improve Li Huaide's health.
Although the medicinal wine made by Li Qin has a health-preserving effect, it is not a panacea after all. It mainly nourishes yin and yang and makes up for deficiencies.
In addition, Li Qin liked both fine wine and cigarettes, so Li Huaide's wife asked Li Qin to keep an eye on Li Huaide.
"Why!"
Watching Li Qin's departing figure, Li Huaide's face was full of helplessness.
He had always treated Li Qin like a nephew, and now that Li Qin was on official business, he was even more helpless.
"Fortunately, there is also medicinal wine, which not only tastes excellent but also has powerful effects. Although I can't drink too much at a time, it can still satisfy my cravings."
Li Huaide had no choice but to return to his office and continue working.
"We ordinary people are truly, truly happy today..."

After leaving the administration building, Li Qin walked towards the bicycle shed with a smile on his face.
Finding a suitable opportunity while walking, he immediately put the cloth bag in his hand into his storage ring.
Although he was confident that no one would check his package when he entered and left the steel rolling mill, it was still somewhat inappropriate to carry it openly.
This world has never lacked talented people.
Many people can tell what's inside a bag just by looking at the marks and outlines on it, even without opening it.
Although he could explain the contents clearly, it was still somewhat troublesome.
Simply storing it away avoids problems from the outset.
