Chapter 475: Some people still believe it
When the brothers heard this, their eyes lit up at the same time.
"Then we won't be polite, pretty aunt. If you have any instructions to do in the future, you must tell us two brothers." Xu Dabao said happily.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll remember it. Go wash your hands." Li Yiyi responded with a smile.
The three elderly people have long been accustomed to the children from the family compound coming to their home for meals.
Since they came here to live, they found that everyone in this family compound gets along quite well.
If any family has difficulties, every family is willing to lend a helping hand.
It is even more common for children from one family to eat at another family's house.
For example, Yueyue and her brother are occasionally invited by family members in the family compound to have dinner at their homes.
However, the Jiang family now has three elderly people, so the two siblings don’t have to go to other people’s homes for meals.
When the four children came back after washing their hands, they saw several plates of dishes on the table that they had never eaten.
"Wow, these fish are so small. I can eat more than a dozen in one bite." Xu Dabao said, pointing to the plate of golden fried dried fish.
"Brother, look at this ear, does it look like our ears?" Xu Xiaobao was also attracted by a plate of fried pork belly with black fungus on the dinner table, and hurriedly pulled his eldest brother who was sitting next to him to talk about it.
"It really does look like it, my beautiful aunt. The dishes in your home not only look delicious, but also smell delicious." Xu Dabao looked up at her and smiled.
Li Yiyi smiled, picked up a spoon, and put a portion of the food on the table into the bowls of the four of them. "The food at my aunt's house is not only fragrant but also delicious. Try it. If you like any of the dishes, just take them. Don't be polite. Just treat this place as your own home."
"Okay, then I won't be polite, pretty aunt." Dabao started eating with big mouthfuls.
Several adults were amused by his funny appearance.
Just then, the phone at home suddenly rang.
"You guys eat first, I'm going to answer the phone." Aunt Huang stood up and said.
Li Yiyi took a look at the location where the phone was ringing, but quickly ignored it and continued to eat lunch with her family.
She had just picked up another dish for the children when she heard Aunt Huang, who had just returned from a phone call, walk over to her and whisper, "Yiyi, it's Xiao Jiang calling. He wants you to come over and answer the phone."
After hearing what Aunt Huang said, Li Yiyi put down her chopsticks thoughtfully, stood up, and said to the two brothers Dabao at the table, "Just help yourself to what you want to eat, and don't be polite to Auntie. Just treat this place as your own home."
"I got it, Aunt Piaoliang, you go answer the phone, don't worry about us." Dabao responded bluntly.
Li Yiyi smiled and quickly turned around and walked towards the other end of the phone.
Soon, Li Yiyi walked over to the phone, picked up the phone and called out to Jiang Hong on the other end of the line, "Hello, it's me."
As soon as she finished shouting, she soon heard Jiang Hong's voice on the other end of the phone, "Wife, have you eaten?"
"I was just eating. Why did you call home out of the blue? Is there something important?" she asked.
"There is an important matter. What delicious food are you having at home today? Why did I hear other voices at home just now?" Jiang Hong continued to ask.
Li Yiyi smiled and told him about the meal the family had for lunch today, and that the Dabao brothers were coming to their house for dinner.
"There are so many delicious foods, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance to come back home to have this meal today." After hearing the names of the dishes his wife reported, he said with a bit of regret.
"Okay, stand aside and let me talk to Comrade Li." Just as Li Yiyi was about to reply to him, she suddenly heard another man's voice coming from his side.
Li Yiyi listened to the voice coming from the other end of the phone and pursed her lips. After a while, she heard the voice start talking to her.
"Comrade Li Yiyi, right? Hello, my surname is Wu, nice to meet you." After Wu Xing snatched the phone, he began to speak with a respectful tone.
After hearing what the other party said, Li Yiyi immediately replied, "Hello, Comrade Wu."
"It's like this, Comrade Li. We heard today that the research institute of the company has developed a new drug. Do you know what it is?" Wu Xing asked directly.
Li Yiyi did not hide anything and quickly told everything she knew.
"This is today's new drug. As far as I know, this is the only one that the research institute has released today," she replied.
"Elixir of life? What kind of medicine is this?" Wu Xing asked with a frown after listening to it.
"What other medicine is there? Isn't it the medicine for immortality? You are Chinese, but you have never heard of this medicine?" Jiang Hong on the side kindly explained to him.
"This kind of medicine, my God, there are actually people who believe in this kind of medicine?" When Wu Xing heard this, he immediately burst into laughter while holding the phone.
After laughing for a while, he remembered that there was a female comrade on the other end of the phone, so he quickly stopped his heroic laughter.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Li, I embarrassed you." He quickly apologized to Li Yiyi on the other end of the phone with an embarrassed look on his face.
"It's okay. Comrade Wu, do you have anything else to ask?" Li Yiyi asked with a smile.
"There is one thing I would like to ask you, Comrade Li. Is the elixir of immortality real? Has anyone really developed it?" Wu Xing asked curiously.
Li Yiyi smiled and said, "If there really is an elixir of immortality in this world, the emperors in ancient times wouldn't have to change from one generation to the next. Even those powerful people have no way to change this kind of thing, let alone ordinary people like us."
"After hearing what you said, Comrade Li, I suddenly understood. What their company has developed is not an elixir of immortality at all?" Wu Xing asked with a look of anticipation.
"As far as I know, they are not at all," she replied with certainty.
"Okay, then I understand. I will report this matter to the higher-ups immediately. Comrade Li may not know that just half an hour ago, someone from the Corporation's research institute called us and asked us to give us some information about the miracle medicine they developed. They sounded very arrogant." Wu Xing spoke about this matter with an angry look on his face.
After hearing this, Li Yiyi was stunned at first, then she sneered, "They are really shameless. They didn't agree to exchange with others, right?" she asked anxiously.
"Not really. I don't know if what he said is true, and he has a bad reputation in China. Our people won't believe him so easily. So now that the higher-ups know that you have been transferred to work there, they asked me to come and ask you about it." Wu Xing replied.
