Chapter 190 No Meat

The next morning, when Lin Xiangnan went to work, Aunt Hua went into the city to see a patient.

When she came back, Lin Xiangnan curiously asked, "Is the problem serious?"

"It's a bit serious. He has been coughing up blood for too long. There is no cure, so we can only take care of him slowly." Aunt Hua said helplessly: "Neither the grandfather nor the grandson has a job. They have no money and dare not see a doctor."

For those who work in a company, they can go to the clinic to get medicine for minor illnesses, and for serious illnesses, they can be hospitalized. Everything is recorded in the account, and the company will pay them at the end of the year.

Aunt Hua used to help this family, but she would only give a little help when they were having trouble getting by.

Helping others is just a favor, not her obligation.

"How much will the Guo family's treatment cost this time?" Lin Xiangnan asked.

"Thirty. Guo Jiren also wrote me an IOU." Aunt Hua put the IOU in her book and said sadly, "I don't expect a child to pay me back. I just hope his father can be rehabilitated. If his father is rehabilitated, these will be small changes."

"Logically speaking, don't the ancestors of those sent to the countryside for reform have some wealth?" Lin Xiangnan asked curiously, "Why is the Guo family living in such a miserable state?"

If your ancestors were poor, you would never have encountered such a thing.

Aunt Hua glanced at Lin Xiangnan and asked with amusement, "Have you ever seen a house search? The kind where they dig three feet into the ground?"

Lin Xiangnan's eyes widened.

"That's right. Seven or eight years ago, you were still young, and your family might not have dared to let you join in on the fun." Aunt Hua said with emotion: "The situation in the past two years is indeed much better than before."

In the past, if someone was reported, a bunch of people would rush to their house to search, smash and destroy things.

Few people can leave behind a large amount of wealth under such a high-intensity search.

Aunt Hua is now also frightened, and her family behaves very simply. Most of the good things are secretly hidden outside.

She felt that Lin Xiangnan was the same. They all had their own secret bases, and hiding things depended on their own abilities, so Aunt Hua didn't ask too many questions.

This time when she went out, her wallet was thinner again. Aunt Hua stayed at home completely. When she had free time, she went fishing and fed the cats. She didn't even plan to go into the city.

As soon as she left, the cats and dogs followed, and Lin Xiangnan's two children were so anxious that they kept crying at home.

"Mom, meow meow meow~"

"Hey, my Dabao is so cute, he even imitates the cat's meow." Lin Xiangnan played with the child in a supportive manner, "Kitten, kitty, meow, meow~"

"Meow meow meow!" Dabao gestured with his hands and was so anxious that his saliva sprayed on Lin Xiangnan's face.

"This kid, why is he still talking in such a watery way?"

Lin Xiangnan wiped his face in disgust.

Hu Meili reached out and snatched the child away. "I want to play with the cat, but you don't understand."

"Woo woo~" Dabao stuck close to Hu Meili with a wronged look on his face.

Hu Meili is also a spoiled child. When the cat next door is not around, she takes her child out to look for another cat. "Grandma will take you to find your sister first, and then take you to find the cat, okay..."

Dabao instantly became excited, "Meow!"

As soon as they left, the house became empty in an instant and Lin Xiangnan couldn't find anyone to play with.

She walked around the house for a few times, and finally got bored enough to read a book.

After watching for a while, a fragrance suddenly drifted to the tip of my nose.

Lin Xiangnan sniffed, "It smells so good. Who's having barbecue at this time?"

She put the book down without much concentration, stood by the window, leaned half of her body out, and looked left and right.

Then I saw smoke coming out of the chimney of the Wang family next door.

"Liu Feng's cooking skills are pretty good. They smell delicious."

Now Lin Xiangnan couldn't stay at home anymore, so he rode his bike to the street to buy meat and prepared to have barbecue at home in the evening.

The aroma of barbecue was already strong, and she had marinated some of the meat with spices. Gu Zhenhua could already smell the aroma before he even reached the door of his house.

"The way your family eats, you'll go broke sooner or later." Captain Wang expressed his disdain in a stingy manner.

"I don't mind if I go broke." Gu Zhenhua left Captain Wang behind and ran away.

Political Commissar Xu also quickened his pace and went home to find his mother, preparing to send Aunt Hua to come out and have a free meal.

But when he got home, he was pleasantly surprised. "Xiao Lin is so polite. He sent so many skewers of meat. It must be almost half a pound."

Aunt Hua was not polite. She taught all her cooking skills to Lin Xiangnan, and it was not too much to treat Lin Xiangnan to a few good meals.

"You still count on that lazy girl. I baked this myself."

"Oh my god, mom, your cooking skills have improved." Political Commissar Xu quickly flattered her.

The barbecue looked like a lot, so it was shared among the family members. After finishing the meal, Political Commissar Xu still felt a little unsatisfied.

On the way to work, Political Commissar Xu couldn't help but talk to Gu Zhenhua, "Your Xiao Lin's cooking skills are amazing. It smells so good~"

"She loves to eat, and is willing to spend time on it." Gu Zhenhua praised: "She is so smart that she can do anything well."

Compared to the two families who had meat, Captain Wang, who ate vegetarian food just because of the smell, was full of resentment. "Next time, let your Xiaolin make trouble for the less delicious one. Please consider how we feel about not being able to eat meat."

"Don't talk nonsense there. Who can't eat meat? Don't be sarcastic." Gu Zhenhua pushed him with disdain and said, "Our Xiao Lin wanted to eat meat, but it was you who seduced him."

When Lin Xiangnan was eating, he casually mentioned how his appetite was suddenly aroused. Gu Zhenhua remembered it and at the critical moment, he retorted to Captain Wang.

Captain Wang has always been dissatisfied with Lin Xiangnan's lifestyle, and Gu Zhenhua also knows this, so he thought Captain Wang was deliberately looking for trouble.

"You are also narrow-minded. Our Xiaolin didn't do anything to offend you, but you have remembered it for so long." Gu Zhenhua threatened: "If our Xiaolin heard what you said, you will see whether she will scold you or not."

Under normal circumstances, Captain Wang would definitely refute it.

This time, he inexplicably remained silent and just lowered his head in deep thought.

Captain Wang disliked Lin Xiangnan, but he also knew that Lin Xiangnan was a straightforward person who would not talk nonsense.

Lin Xiangnan said that he smelled the aroma of meat from his house, but Captain Wang did not eat meat at home.

This is very embarrassing.

There was already a lot of gossip in his family, and Captain Wang didn't want to add fuel to the fire, so he said nothing and just kept the matter to himself.

When I got home, I took a walk around the kitchen.

Liu Feng saw Captain Wang glance at the rice jar and then check the things in the cupboard, and said considerately: "What are you looking at? I'll make you whatever you want to eat."

"Has your family bought meat in the past two days?" Captain Wang asked coldly.

"No." Liu Feng suggested with a smile: "How about I buy half a pound of meat to cook tomorrow? My family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, so they should all be craving for it."
