Chapter 148 Full Moon Banquet

Chen Qing was confused by the question.

It is important for people to know themselves.

He didn't.

Xiaohe had saved Xiaoyu before, and she promised to make a set of cotton-padded clothes and pants for Xiaohe for the New Year, which would cost at least ten yuan.

When Teacher Lin came to visit with a bunch of gifts, all in all, the total amount must have been about thirty yuan.

Fifty dollars in total.

In terms of cause and effect, the person he should settle the score with is Granny Lin.

Besides, Xiao He was also rescued by He Yuxiang, and she didn’t say anything.

But Yang Xiujin still felt it was not enough?

Chen Qing smiled: "Because I am working, as a member of the machinery factory, I should devote all my attention to production. I sincerely hope that Director Yang will not look for me during working hours in the future. Thank you."

She took out her notebook, opened the pen cap with one hand, and wrote in the notebook.

[Must-buy list: sharp knife, matches, string.]

In the original novel, the original owner was with Yang Xiujin, and lived a peaceful life for the first half of her life.

Chen Qing didn't know what her future would be like, but she had to prepare in advance.

Although he was afraid in his heart, Chen Qing would not tolerate it, because to pamper certain people was like inviting them to slap him in the face.

Yang Xiujin came to her, ready to be rejected, but still said: "My Xiaohe jumped into the river for your niece, and now I just asked you to take care of her for two days, but you refused."

He sighed slightly.

Looks very disappointed.

Everyone in the office looked at each other.

Chen Qing lowered his head, his eyelashes casting a shadow, and stood up again.

Yang Xiujin, who was standing at the door, suddenly took a step back.

Chen Qing said to Yang Xiujin: "Let's go find Secretary Yang."

"What do you want to see Secretary Yang for?"

"Ask him how much money it would cost to save a person in order to repay the favor. Your daughter saved my Xiaoyu, and my He Yuxiang also saved your Xiaohe. I will give your daughter a set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers, and I won't ask you for anything. Teacher Lin's nearly thirty yuan in compensation is not enough, and I also need to sacrifice my personal freedom. Let me see how he judges it, Director Yang, please."

Chen Qing smiled slightly.

There was no warmth in his eyes.

Some people are really good at taking advantage of others.

Yang Xiujin noticed the change in the looks around him, adjusted his glasses, and smiled gently: "Team Leader Chen misunderstood, I don't mean to ask for anything in return, I just need to go on a business trip, and I wanted to ask you for help as I wanted my Xiao He to be close to your two children."

"Then I refuse. Do you understand?" Chen Qing was afraid that he was deaf, so he repeated: "I refuse. Can you hear the meaning of these three words clearly?"

Yang Xiujin almost couldn't hold back her gentle image: "Since Team Leader Chen refuses, I have nothing to say."

"Then please ask Director Yang to leave."

Chen Qing stared at Yang Xiujin in front of her. He looked just like the pervert she was afraid of when she was a child.

Before encountering this, Chen Qing would be terrified, would add many filters to the bad guys, and even belittle himself.

But I encountered...

hehe!

Why should I give in to him?

Flattery and tolerance will never earn you respect.

When facing any bad guy, the best way to protect yourself is to make him fear you.

Yang Xiujin stared at Chen Qing deeply, then turned and left.

The people in the office looked at Chen Qing and asked, "Team Leader, are you okay?"

"What's the matter?" Chen Qing waved his hand, "Just do your thing."

She lay on the table depressed.

Then……

Fell asleep.

Boom boom boom!!!

Director Liu's enamel pot knocked on the corner of the table, the sound was like a bell: "Chen Qing!"

Chen Qing opened his eyes dazedly and saw a familiar old face. He subconsciously covered his face with a notebook: "I won't do it again next time."

Director Liu saw that there was a faint dark blue under her eyes, and he didn't know where she went to be a thief at night, "Don't you sleep at night?"

"He Yuxiang had something to do yesterday." Chen Qing pursed her lips, "I promise, I won't sleep after this."

Just take a rest.

Sleeping is indeed a bit too much.

Seeing her sincere attitude, Director Liu was no longer angry and got back to business: "There will be a performance by the art troupe on National Day, you will host it."

Chen Qing asked hurriedly: "Is there a reward?"

"We haven't discussed it yet. It depends on the size of the art troupe. Anyway, there is still half a month left, so you should prepare well."

"OK."

The first time you host something, the second time you become familiar with it.

Chen Qing was very happy to be able to earn some extra money during working hours.

She read the newspaper for a while, and soon it was time for the lunch break.

Chen Qing had to go to the full moon banquet.

I have to rush back to the slum to have lunch tomorrow at noon.

The children are on holiday these days, but the machinery factory is not.

There are holidays during normal times, but not during festivals. They say it is to get rid of feudal ideas...

This is the current wind direction.

But in fact, the entire Chinese people attach great importance to major festivals.

Otherwise, the supply and marketing cooperatives’ goods would not be in short supply.

Chen Qing hurried back home and took his three children to Zhang Dongmei's compound.

The money-recording uncle read out: "Comrade Chen Qing, one dollar."

He Yuxiang added: "I gave him 20 eggs before."

Remember that Uncle Qian went to ask and added the number of eggs.

After giving the red envelope, Chen Qing saw that no one was there to greet her, so she found a more secluded spot and sat down casually.

The way the full moon banquet was held in the slum was very simple. There were eight tables inside the courtyard and five tables outside the courtyard, a total of thirteen tables, and it was lively and bustling.

Zhang Dongmei's parents-in-law were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

So many people came.

There is definitely money to be made!

The dishes came quickly, six in total.

Zhang Dongmei also came out holding her child to greet everyone. When she saw the six dishes on the table, her face froze.

Stir-fried sweet potato vines, stir-fried pumpkin slices, celery and dried tofu, stir-fried eggplant, winter melon and soybean soup, and minced cowpea and meat.

The quantity looks good.

These are also dishes that are suitable for entertaining guests, but the portion of each dish is very small!!

There is no meat at all in the minced meat.

Her father is the team leader. He specially moved the pig-slaughtering time to today and sent their family 30 kilograms of meat, five pumpkins, 30 kilograms of sweet potato vines, and 5 kilograms of dried tofu.

So for the full moon banquet, they only had some celery, soybeans, eggplants and other vegetarian dishes, not even the vegetables her parents specially sent her were used up!!

Zhang's father and mother also saw it.

It didn't show on his face.

Naturally, it would be better for their daughter to marry in the city than in the countryside. What's more, if her parents bring shame to her in-laws after she gets married, she will be easily bullied. No matter how dissatisfied they are, they will endure it.

Chen Qing also endured it.

She spent two dollars on this meal, but actually the four of them ate less than fifty cents.

Because the staple food is brown rice!

Brown rice is not the coarse grain that modern people pursue. It contains sand.

Chen Qing forbade Xiaoyu to eat, "When we get home later, Auntie will make you something to eat, you can't eat it."

She is still young, what if she swallows it accidentally?

Xiaoyu nodded obediently.

His eyes were fixed on the food.

She has to work hard to grab food!
