Chapter 73 I'm Willing to Name You the King of Cold Jokes

"Jinyu."

Xiao Jinchuan spoke lightly, but they both heard anger in his tone.

"I have some impression of this Jin Yu. He and Yao Xinjie were both scoundrels on the island before, but there are some differences between these two scoundrels."

"Yao Xinjie is an openly scoundrel. He won't backstab you, he'll only degenerate himself. Jin Yu is different. He's full of insidious tricks and especially loves to mess with other people's beautiful girls."

"I remember it was two years ago. He got her pregnant and had to pay a huge sum of money. He was almost beaten to death by her father and had to hide for a long time. Otherwise, if the girl really liked him and knelt down to beg for mercy, he would probably have been killed."

Xiao Jinchuan frowned as he listened. It was obvious that he had set his sights on Song Yunqing. This kind of person must be like a dog-skin plaster, which would not let go once bitten.

"Did he offend you?"

Xiao Jinchuan shook his head: "No, because of something else."

"Don't act impulsively. If he reports you, you'll be punished."

That kind of person is capable of anything.

"No, he is in the wrong. He doesn't dare."

Xiao Jinchuan was still quite confident about this matter, but he was indeed impulsive, and today's running was his punishment for himself.

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to say more, Chen Zhicheng didn't ask any more questions.

He walked up to Chen Zhicheng and patted his shoulder: "I'll go home with you for dinner tonight!"

Chen Zhicheng shook his hand away in disgust: "You already knew that this bet doesn't count."

"I knew it a long time ago. Didn't I tell you? You just didn't believe it. What can I do? I'll admit defeat!"

“Get out, get out, get out!”

"By the way, when will the people from above come to inspect? It's been so tense for several days now, I wonder if they won't come again!"

Zhao Hu felt a little resentful. If this assessment and inspection had not been done well, funds would have been allocated to the island for construction, and they would not have been so nervous every day.

"It should be in the next two days. There should be no problem with securing supplies!"

"Of course it's no problem. The quantities and dates are all recorded in the book, and everyone is always prepared."

"That's fine. There must be no problems this time."

Just as Xiao Jinchuan had guessed, people from above came early the next morning. They brought the inspection team to the office in an orderly manner, took out the account books and the latest inventory receipts and outgoings, and waited for inspection.

The inspection team consisted of a few young people who were full of vigor and vitality. They were not very optimistic about Xiao Jinchuan at the beginning.

He actually married a capitalist lady just to live a rich life. It really damages the reputation of a soldier.

But after meeting him, that little bit of dissatisfaction disappeared quietly.

Some people have this kind of magic that makes everyone around them have a good impression of them.

Xiao Jinchuan is such a person.

"Deputy Captain Xiao, I've long heard of your name."

Xiao Jinchuan shook hands: "It's a great honor to wait for your inspection."

"We just arrived today, so we're not in a hurry to check. We're all tired from the journey. Let's take a break first and start again tomorrow."

Of course Xiao Jinchuan had no objection.

"The rooms have been arranged, but life on the island is tough and certainly not as comfortable as out there. Please make do with what you have."

"We are not picky people, so there is no need for you to be so polite, Deputy Captain Xiao."

Xiao Jinchuan asked Chen Zhicheng to settle the group down before he had someone prepare food and send it over.

Song Yunqing tapped his fingers on the table. "They're leaders in offices after all. Shouldn't we make them something delicious? Are those simple meals enough?"

"Leaders are human beings too. There's no need to spend money to please them. The food prepared by the cafeteria is much better than usual. We need to let them see the real living standards on the island."

He paused, then continued, "Besides, if you make something good and send it over, not only will it easily anger everyone, but it will also make them misunderstand that the living conditions on the island are very good. Don't be the one who sticks out."

Song Yunqing listened to him rambling on and on, and couldn't help but laugh: "You are becoming more and more like your mother now."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because when mom was around, she always told me what not to do, what not to do, what to eat, what to drink. The way you nag now is just like mom."

"But I don't mean to say anything bad about Mom, I just think it's very different from the way you used to be."

"Very... human!"

Xiao Jinchuan thought about it again and again: "So I used to smell like... a dog?"

Song Yunqing really couldn't hold it in and almost spit out the water he had just drunk.

"Why are you so funny now? I want to crown you the King of Cold Jokes."

"What's a meme?"

Song Yunqing's smile suddenly faltered: "The joke is... interesting, the words are very interesting!"

Xiao Jinchuan was a little depressed: "Why do I not understand what you say most of the time? Where did you learn this?"

He also wanted to go and take a look, otherwise the two of them would have no common topics.

"I...I forgot. I knew it a long time ago. Next time, I'll tell you if I come across something interesting."

I guess there won’t be a next time, as those are all modern things. However, there is another possibility. We will know when Xiao Jinchuan is healthy and lives a long life.

Song Yunqing calmly changed the subject: "Is this examination important? I see you've been very busy these past few days."

“It’s very important, as it affects the evaluation and future development of the entire island.”

Song Yunqing nodded thoughtfully: "Don't be so nervous, you've taken such good care of it, there will definitely be no problem."

But Xiao Jinchuan always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The next morning, those people started checking the account books in the office, but Xiao Jinchuan was strict and asked people to make annotations on some of the previous bad accounts and wrong accounts.

Although there are some discrepancies, none of them occurred during his tenure and are not serious issues.

After checking, no serious problems were found.

Even the inspection team sighed that after checking so many places, they had never found a place as clean as this one.

"We've been busy all day, and it's almost dark. Why don't we look at the rest tomorrow?"

"Okay."

Chen Zhicheng pointed ahead and said, "We're already here. My house is right in front. Why don't we go have a quick meal?"

“That’s not good.”

"It doesn't matter."

At Chen Zhicheng's strong invitation, the inspection team followed him home.

Xiao Jinchuan took two slow steps and pulled his arm: "Is your family so well-fed?"

Chen Zhicheng looked helpless. "I can't help it. The person in charge of cooking in the cafeteria has diarrhea and hasn't been seen all afternoon. I can't let the leaders go hungry. My family is not rich, but it's not a problem to feed a few more people."

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

"I don't know either. He thought diarrhea was temporary and that he could continue if he endured it, but he ended up having diarrhea."

Xiao Jinchuan immediately made up his mind: "Well, let's go to my house and ask your wife to come over and help Yun Qing cook."

Chen Zhicheng knew that he was helping him save food and was very touched.

The group was brought to Xiao Jinchuan's yard. Seeing a group of people rushing in, Song Yunqing was a little confused.

"This is?"

Xiao Jinchuan came over and said, "The chef in the cafeteria has diarrhea and is nowhere to be found. He's staying at my house for now."

"Understood, leave it to me!"

Seeing Song Yunqing eager to try, Xiao Jinchuan couldn't help but remind her: "Don't make it too sumptuous, just normal."

He didn't forget that the last time his parents came, he was so happy that he almost prepared a whole table of food.

He didn't even know where the ingredients came from.

Song Yunqing just told him not to worry about it, some of them were brought when he came, and some were bought by Jiang Lei.

It was at that time that he finally saw how rich Song Yunqing was.

The members of the inspection team were stunned when they saw Song Yunqing.

The little girl was fair and clean, and she didn't get much darker even on the windy and sun-baked island.

She is so beautiful that you can't tell that she is married.

From this perspective, she and Xiao Jinchuan are quite compatible.

Several people who had not had a good impression of Song Yunqing before, and even said bad things about her behind her back, felt a little embarrassed.

Those people pushed each other.

Xiao Jinchuan saw all their interactions but pretended not to notice.

There were quite a lot of people coming, and even if they took out all the stools, it wouldn't be enough.

Chen Zhicheng quickly moved the tables, chairs and benches for the two of them over, and it was barely enough.

Ge Jinglan told her two children to have fun at home and came over to help Song Yunqing.

Since she was told not to make it too luxurious, she would just make a few home-cooked dishes.

After a busy period, the people outside were divided into two tables, all the dishes were divided in two, and the square table was filled with dishes.

"Deputy Captain Xiao, isn't this... a little too grand?"

"No, they are all home-cooked dishes. These are the side dishes that my wife pickled herself. The fish and meat are also specialties of the island. The dried bamboo shoots are what my parents brought when they came to the island."

After hearing this, they started eating with peace of mind.

They came here to inspect, and they didn't dare to eat and drink lavishly under the guise of official business.

Several people from the inspection team sat at one table, and at the other table only Xiao Jinchuan and Chen Zhicheng sat.

Xiao Jinchuan looked around and found Song Yunqing chatting with Ge Jinglan in the kitchen.

"What's wrong? Do you want more food?"

There was no time to make noodles, and I had to roll out the noodles. It was quite tiring to roll out the noodles for that amount, so I just steamed a pot of rice with sorghum rice.

"No, they are still eating. Find a bowl and bring the rice out so they can help themselves."

He is not a landlord, and the two people who cooked for him haven’t eaten yet.

"Okay, I'll serve the rice."

Xiao Jinchuan took the wooden shovel from her hand: "You two go out and eat, I'll do it."

"It's okay, just eat yours, I'll do it, don't make a fool of yourself."

Ge Jinglan also chimed in: "That's right, we can just take care of the things on the stove, you should hurry up and have dinner with them!"

Xiao Jinchuan refused and insisted on serving himself some rice.
