Because Xu Weiguo helped them borrow a car, Chen Zhaodi and the others weren't in such a rush.
Apart from Huang Jianguo, everyone else could leisurely enjoy their breakfast.
Huang Jianguo needed to go to the Xu family's house first, then go to the police station to drive the car back to the Xu family's house, and then drive back to the family compound from the Xu family's house.
It would take a lot of time to go back and forth. So Chen Zhaodi simply gave him a few steamed buns to eat on the way.
When Huang Jianguo arrived at the Xu family's house, the others were having breakfast. He originally planned to wait until they finished eating before heading out to drive back.
However, Zhang Yumei told Xu Weiguo to take it and eat it on the way, urging them to set off quickly: "I just told you to eat it faster, take it and eat it on the way, don't delay your in-laws' time."
Upon hearing this, Huang Jianguo quickly replied, "It's no trouble at all! I left earlier. Driving there will save a lot of time, so there's no need to rush."
"Alright, Jianguo, please have a seat for a while. Have you had breakfast yet? Would you like to have some with us?"
Seeing that he said he wasn't in a hurry, Zhang Yumei let Xu Weiguo sit down and continue eating. However, she gestured to him with her eyes that he should eat as soon as possible.
"No need, I've already eaten. I'll just sit for a while. Thank you, Auntie."
After Huang Jianguo finished speaking, it didn't take long.
Xu Weiguo finished breakfast quickly, and then the two of them set off to get in the car.
After they left, Zhang Yumei began to instruct Xu Junhui: "You must take good care of Qinqin, okay?"
"Since we're driving there anyway, Junhui, bring plenty of food with you. In case the food there isn't to your liking at lunchtime, at least you can fill your stomach."
Xu Junhui nodded seriously: "I understand, Mom. I will take good care of Qinqin."
After instructing Xu Junhui, Zhang Yumei softly said to Huang Qinqin, "Qinqin, Mom made some braised pork for you this morning. I'll have Junhui bring it with you later."
"If you get hungry later, don't be shy, just tell Junhui and you can eat something by yourself."
"I heard that Jianguo's blind date is from the village, but I don't know what his conditions are like. If the food at his house isn't good, he shouldn't force himself to eat there."
"We're secretly cooking for ourselves, so you absolutely can't go hungry, understand?"
Huang Qinqin nodded obediently and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mom~"
"Thank you, Mom, for cooking braised pork for me so early in the morning. I will definitely not go hungry."
"It's not hard work, it's just something I do easily. As long as you like it, that's fine."
Zhang Yumei didn't feel it was too hard; she was just worried that Huang Qinqin would go hungry.
Since becoming pregnant, Huang Qinqin has been getting hungry more quickly, and lately she's also become a bit picky about food.
Although Huang Qinqin didn't say it, according to Zhang Yumei's observation, if the food didn't suit her taste, Huang Qinqin would just eat a couple of bites and then stop.
So recently, before buying groceries, Zhang Yumei would ask her what vegetables she wanted to eat, and then she would go and buy them.
I'm cooking braised pork today because Huang Qinqin said she wanted to eat it a couple of days ago. Zhang Yumei cooked it once, and seeing how much she enjoyed it, I specially cooked it again.
Before long, they heard the sound of a car engine outside.
They knew it must be Huang Jianguo and his group who had returned.
"My goodness, it really is a toy car!"
"The neighbors are spoiling their daughter-in-law way too much. I thought they were just coaxing her yesterday."
"Hey, do you think we can go up and touch it?"
"You go ahead and do it, but I wouldn't dare. If I break it, I couldn't afford to pay for it even if I sold it!"
People from both courtyards came out to watch the car when they heard the commotion.
However, the crowd didn't stay long, as Huang Jianguo quickly drove away in his car.
......
When Huang Jianguo and his group returned to the steel plant's residential compound, they were greeted by a large crowd.
Because the roads inside the residential compound are too narrow, cars simply cannot drive in.
So Huang Jianguo left Huang Qinqin and Xu Junhui in the car while he went back to call the others out.
"Little sister, you and your husband wait for us in the car. I'm going to call Mom and Dad out now."
Okay~
When Chen Zhaodi saw Huang Jianguo return, she quickly asked, "Boss, how many people can that car seat?"
"According to the seating arrangement, it can seat 5 people, right? What's wrong?"
It can only seat 5 people?
Chen Zhaodi counted on her fingers, but there still wasn't enough space...
"What should we do? Including Qinqin and her husband, there are six of us going over. There won't be enough seats!"
Huang Jianguo thought Chen Zhaodi was worried about something, but it turns out it was this.
"There are enough seats. The police car has plenty of empty space in the back, like a tractor. We can just bring two stools with us."
"Huh? Really? Aren't cars only supposed to have a few seats?"
Chen Zhaodi remembered seeing cars in the factory before, but they didn't seem to have a trailer like a tractor.
Huang Jianguo nodded helplessly: "Really? Why would I lie to you? The police station's cars are a little different from ordinary ones."
Okay, as long as there's a place to sit, it's fine.
Chen Zhaodi instructed, "Then you and your father take the things I've prepared to the car, and I'll go call Aunt Wang."
Huang Jianguo could understand the things Chen Zhaodi had prepared, such as pastries, candies, and fabrics.
But why bring vegetables? Forget about the meat, but surely there are plenty of vegetables in the countryside?
Isn't it a bit strange that they brought a big bag of green vegetables?
However, Chen Zhaodi had already gone out to call Aunt Wang, so even if Huang Jianguo had questions, there was no one to answer them for him.
Huang Qinqin and Xu Junhui sat in the car, feeling like monkeys in a zoo, constantly being observed by others.
Xu Junhui suggested, "Honey, how about we get off at the station for a bit? It's kind of awkward with them staring at us like that..."
Huang Qinqin shook her head dejectedly: "I advise you not to get off the bus."
"If we don't get off the bus, at most we'll just be surrounded and stared at. But if we do get off, we'll most likely be attacked."
"Look, they may be watching, but they don't dare touch the car. If we get out, wouldn't that be like walking into a trap?"
Xu Junhui glanced at it and realized it was true: "Then let's just sit here obediently and wait for Mom and Dad to come over."
"Wife, would you like something to eat? I have some sunflower seeds, biscuits, dried longan and preserved plums here."
Huang Qinqin thought for a moment, since she had nothing else to do anyway: "Let's have some sunflower seeds. We can eat them in the car so they won't be watching us."
"It's like we're the ones watching them!"
So when Chen Zhaodi and the others arrived, they saw Huang Qinqin and Xu Junhui sitting in the car, constantly eating sunflower seeds.
For a moment, it's really hard to tell who's watching whose misery...
