Lu Wensheng looked at the clay pot on the stove and asked, "Is it stewed?"
Shen Lingling nodded: "Well, I'm afraid you won't have enough to eat at the captain's house."
Lu Wensheng gave a thumbs up with admiration: "You are really thoughtful!"
Let's put it this way, it's certain that she wasn't full. You can't eat as much as you want when you go to someone's house for dinner. She originally planned to eat less and then come back for a snack, but she didn't expect her sister to be so thoughtful.
Shen Lingling: Of course! She had been a housewife for so many years in her previous life, so she had some knowledge.
Besides, if the chicken is not stewed quickly, it will definitely not be fresh by tomorrow noon. It would be better to give it to them as a midnight snack. If there are any leftovers, we can stew it with potatoes and mix it with rice tomorrow morning.
In short, she had to make sure they were well fed. She had already organized the menu for the next few days in her mind, and would try to make some soup for them every day to nourish them.
Tomorrow morning she has to go to Xiaohuzi to buy some fish, shrimp, loach, eel and the like.
Han Muchen didn't say anything, but the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
After a while, Ma Yingjie came back with a bag of herbs and a basket in his hands.
He casually handed the basket to Lu Wensheng and said, "Uncle Ge asked me to bring it back for you."
Lu Wensheng took it casually, put the things for the village chief's family in it, stood up and said, "Let's go and have the feast."
Then he turned around and said to Shen Lingling, "Just lock the door. I'll call you when I come back."
Shen Lingling waved her hands: "You are not a child anymore, let's go!"
The three of them walked towards the village chief's house, chatting and laughing.
Han Muchen: "Are we being too high-profile?"
Lu Hao: "No?"
Lu Wensheng: “No!”
As soon as I arrived at the village chief's house, I heard someone talking inside: "Village chief, can we start working the day after tomorrow? We have to go to the county town to buy things tomorrow..."
Then came Li Xiangyang's serious voice: "No, no one is allowed to take leave tomorrow. There are general daily necessities sales outlets in the village. If you go to buy them now, they are still open!"
Xu Feng wanted to ask again: "Grandpa Village Chief, we really have to go to the county town..."
Lu Wensheng, Han Muchen, and Lu Hao, who were eavesdropping outside, looked at each other: What? Why did she call the village chief? Is she ok?
Sure enough, Li Xiangyang, who was smoking a pipe in the yard, suddenly turned pale and refused decisively:
"I said no, so it's no. What? Do you have any objections to my arrangement? I don't mind taking you to the Youth League Office to talk about it.
Rushing to harvest, rushing to harvest, do you know what rushing to harvest means? If you don’t want to work, why are you still going to the countryside? Go back!”
Li Xiangyang's words scared the four newcomers so much that they shrank their necks like quails, which made him even more angry!
They are not as capable as Xiaolu and the others at all. Not only do they come with empty hands, they can't even speak a word!
Grandpa! He can't give birth to a grandson this big. Li Xiangyang became angrier and angrier, and finally drove the guests away: "Are you planning to eat here tonight?"
The four of them looked at the table full of dishes, and then thought of the little water used to wash the pot at the educated youth's place. If possible, they really wanted to eat here...
But seeing the old village chief's face as dark as ink, he quickly said goodbye: "No, no, I won't bother you anymore, village chief. We... will leave..."
Li Xiangyang didn't even raise his head, but focused on watching the ants crawling on the ground, thinking to himself: Ouch, you guys should leave quickly!
When Lu Wensheng saw the four of them were about to come out, he quickly pulled Han Muchen and Lu Hao to the entrance of the alley and pretended to have just arrived.
Sure enough, the two groups met at the door not long after. Xu Feng looked at the three people and said sarcastically:
"Hey, you old educated youth are here to ask for leave too?"
Ma Yingjie immediately jumped out and said righteously, "Who said we should ask for leave? Only deserters ask for leave!
We responded to the country's call and came here to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. Why do you call us deserters?
If you continue to be like this, I will have to ask our village chief Li to take you to the Youth League Office to have a chat..."
Xu Feng was very angry after being scolded. She rushed forward and pointed at Ma Yingjie's nose and started to scold him: "You..."
Ma Yingjie slapped her hand away and said with his neck stiff, "What do you mean by 'I'? What do you mean by 'you'? Only someone like you who has low ideological awareness would embarrass the village chief."
He glanced at the three people who hadn't spoken and said, "You must have instigated these comrades to force the village chief, right? You are so mean. You don't do any work yourself, but you still have to take the blame."
The remaining three people seemed to be awakened by Ma Yingjie, and they all spoke:
"Yes, Xu Zhiqing, let's go back."
"That's right, I said I couldn't come, but you insisted."
"That's right, how can you give us such bad advice?"
Xu Feng looked confused: No, what is going on now!
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Ma Yingjie did not say much. He directly pulled Han Muchen to the yard and did not forget to greet Lu Wensheng:
"Sister Lu, come quickly. I can smell the fragrance from far away. Aunt Caifeng's cooking skills are really good!"
Lu Wensheng spread his hands to everyone, then pretended to be helpless and followed in.
The four newcomers outside were stunned:
"They are here to eat? Am I seeing right?"
"No, they did come to eat."
"But why?"
"Let's go..."
When Li Xiangyang saw that the three of them had arrived, he was instantly delighted and greeted them cheerfully:
"Finally you guys are here! I'm starving to death! Come and sit down."
Realizing that the number of people was wrong, he asked, "Where is Shen Zhiqing?"
Lu Wensheng said: "I'm sick at home! I just went to get some medicine from Mr. Ge and fell asleep right after taking it."
Li Xiangyang nodded: "You have to take good care of it. Falling into the water is no small matter. I almost lost my life."
Lu Wensheng continued: "Who wouldn't say it? By the way, uncle, Bai Qian and Zhang Fangfang..."
Li Xiangyang took a puff of his cigarette and replied, "Zhang Fangfang was sentenced to one year. After she is released, she will be sent to a farm for reform. As for Bai Qian..."
After a pause, he continued, "It hasn't been judged yet. I heard that someone from above is interfering."
Lu Wensheng's expression changed immediately. He looked at Han Muchen inquiringly and asked, "Are all you rich people like this? Would you trade your family's future for one person?"
Han Muchen frowned and replied, "No. But I don't rule out this possibility. But generally no one would do this. If the enemy finds out, it will affect the whole family."
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Well, let's go back and ask Lingling first. After all, this is her business, and others shouldn't interfere too much."
Li Xiangyang nodded: "Yes! You are a very clear-headed kid.
Let’s not talk about this any more, hurry up and try your aunt’s cooking!”
