After finishing the important task, Li Xiangyang felt relieved. Just at this time, Lu Wensheng and the others came in with lunch.
There was a dish of spicy diced chicken, a pot of tofu and fish soup, a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes, a bowl of steamed egg with shrimp paste, and finally a large plate of baked pumpkin with salted egg yolk. The staple food was white flour steamed buns and roujiamo left over from the morning.
When Li Xiangyang saw the dishes on the table, he was shocked. I wonder if these kids would spend all their family savings just to entertain them...
Shen Lingling seemed to see Li Xiangyang's concerns and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry about eating, and don't be polite to us. Our Shengsheng is a wealthy woman!
Besides, this chicken was brought by Auntie Youliang, and the pumpkin was brought back from the pigsty by me."
In fact, what she didn't say was that the fish was from Qingshan Brigade, the pheasant eggs were picked up from the mountain, and the only dish on the table was the potatoes that were bought from Aunt Li next door...
Besides, there is a half-dead wild boar in the woodshed!
Li Xiangyang felt more comfortable after hearing this. Fortunately, his wife knew how to do things! He smiled at Shen Lingling who was busy running around:
"Okay, okay, I won't be polite then!"
After everyone was seated, Li Xiangyang first took a bite of the pumpkin baked with salted egg yolk at the strong recommendation of Li Youliang.
As expected of father and son, the look in his eyes and Li Youliang's are unrelated, they are exactly the same!
"Hmm~ This must be another way of eating it that you guys came up with, right? It's really delicious!"
Li Xiangyang began to suck the food like crazy, and kept moving his chopsticks towards the pumpkin baked with salted egg yolk, making the chopsticks dance like flowers. In the meantime, he did not forget to instruct Sun Caifeng:
"Tell the boss this afternoon and ask him to send a truckload of pumpkins when he's free."
Sun Caifeng rolled her eyes at him out of habit: "Do you even need to tell me that? I've already thought of it!"
"Okay, that's fine. Don't carry it back from the pigpen in the future. Just tell your eldest brother if you want to eat!" Li Xiangyang looked up and said to Shen Lingling in his busy schedule.
"Okay, thank you uncle!" Shen Lingling thanked him with a smile.
"Why do we suddenly have to distribute food this afternoon?"
Sun Caifeng asked. She had just heard Xiaolu say in the kitchen, didn't they say they would split up in two days? Why was it so sudden...
Li Xiangyang recounted what he had discussed with Lu Wensheng, and concluded:
"This year we have a lot of grain, so there is a lot left over after the grain is handed in. If we distribute it early, we can exchange the surplus for some money or something.
It’s about to snow, and if I don’t go out this time, I’ll have to wait half a month.”
Sun Caifeng also understood this and nodded, "Okay, I'll help you check the scale this afternoon."
She also knew that after Li Chuanhai was laid off, no one would be responsible for this area.
Li Xiangyang smiled slyly and pointed at Lu Hao and Li Youliang with his chopsticks:
"That's not necessary! I've already made it clear to them. They'll be responsible for checking the scales this afternoon!"
The two who were busy eating raised their heads when they heard their names being called, and smiled at Sun Caifeng:
"Hey, yes, we agreed on that~"
"Don't worry, mom. We will definitely not make any mistakes!" Li Youliang also spoke confidently.
Sun Caifeng glanced at Li Xiangyang calmly, and seeing that he had no reaction, she smiled at the two of them:
"Okay. You two are adults now, I'm at ease leaving it to you. Then I won't go!"
"You have to go. Go and look after the warehouse. There will be a lot of people there in the afternoon. Don't lose anything."
How could Li Xiangyang let her go? He quickly spoke up~
Sun Caifeng: ... "Eat first!"
In the middle, Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling said nothing and tried hard to reduce their presence.
They just need to stand in line and receive food, and don't think about assigning them other tasks.
After dinner, Li Xiangyang took Lu Hao and Li Youliang away. After a while, the village chief's voice came from the loudspeaker, informing everyone to go to the brigade headquarters to line up to receive food after dinner.
"Have you packed everything? Hurry up and take the bags to get the food. If you are late you will have to wait in line for the whole afternoon!" Sun Caifeng urged.
"Okay, I'll be right there~" Lu Wensheng agreed and went to Meng Qingtang's house riding his bicycle.
"I'll go and reserve a spot first, you guys hurry up." As soon as he finished speaking, he got on his bike and left.
When she arrived, there were a few people who lived nearby waiting there, some even holding bowls to eat:
"Why are you distributing food all of a sudden?"
"I don't know either. I was eating when I heard the village chief yelling."
"Oh, it's all the same! I haven't even had time to sit down and it came!"
"Who cares? Distributing food is a good thing. I think our family will get a lot this year."
"Yeah! It's the same in our family."
Lu Wensheng parked his bicycle aside and stood behind the team.
In front of her was Li Sihai's mother. When she saw Lu Wensheng coming, she immediately started chatting with him about all the details of Lu Wensheng's life.
"Little Deer, have you eaten? Auntie has some peanuts here, would you like some?" As she said this, she was about to reach into her pocket.
Lu Wensheng quickly stopped her and said, "Aunt, I've eaten, please stop working."
Li Sihai's mother likes this little girl more and more. Although she has not had much contact with her, her son has had a lot of contact with her.
Every time she comes home, she either praises the little deer or the little deer, and her ears are getting calluses!
