Chapter 87 Want to Eat Meat

If you don’t ask, I won’t tell. If you ask, I’ll be surprised.

The older generation is really the king of tricks.

Lin Xiangnan's mouth twitched and he closed the cupboard. "Let's go out and have some coffee."

Aunt Hua didn't even look at the blue and white porcelain bowl. She left the kitchen with Lin Xiangnan in a casual manner, chirping, "Take another small bottle out and pick a few flowers to put on the table to decorate it."

"Yeah. I'll go pick some flowers."

Aunt Hua praised: "You are the best. You understand life much better than my two children."

"Political Commissar Xu and his wife are so busy with work, how can they have the leisure time for this?"

She has been through ups and downs for decades and has seen everything, so Lin Xiangnan didn't expect to get any truth out of Aunt Hua.

She didn't mention the stone and blue and white bowl she had just seen, and instead talked to Aunt Hua about insensitive issues such as food, drink and clothing.

The two also agreed to go to the neighboring team to exchange eggs with their fellow villagers.

After finishing his coffee and cooking the braised meat, Lin Xiangnan went home calmly. He didn't even tell Gu Zhenhua about the blue and white porcelain bowl.

He wouldn't understand even if I told him.

Before liberation, 99% of the capitalists and intellectuals were reformed in cowsheds in the countryside. Many of those who are in high positions now have ancestors who were poor peasants for three generations.

Even when antiques were placed in front of them, they couldn't tell what they were worth. Apart from real gold and silver, nothing else caught their attention.

Aunt Hua was experienced enough before the liberation. For someone like Gu Zhenhua, who was born after the founding of the People's Republic of China, she could be bribed with a meal of braised meat, let alone gold, silver and jewelry.

After dinner, he stuck around Lin Xiangnan and said, "Wife, you really love me so much~"

Lin Xiangnan held his face and said with a smile: "You are my only dear husband. I don't care about you, who else do I care about?"

Gu Zhenhua was deeply moved after hearing this, and rubbed his furry head against Lin Xiangnan's neck.

Lin Xiangnan hid to the side and he chased him from behind.

When they chased him into the yard, Gu Zhenhua immediately became serious.

Lin Xiangnan chuckled. He knew this trick would work for him.

Not only does this guy not allow people to hold hands outside where others can see him, but he also doesn't allow people to speak to him in a frivolous tone when his comrades are around.

Although he was caught in a weak spot by Lin Xiangnan, Gu Zhenhua was not angry. He said in a low and powerful voice: "Wait and see how I deal with you tonight."

Lin Xiangnan was about to say something when there was a knock on the door. Chen Xiulan asked loudly, "Is Xiaolin home?"

"Yes, come in."

Lin Xiangnan wanted to invite Chen Xiulan to come in and sit down, but she said directly, "No, I'll just stand here and talk to you for a while."

Seeing the two of them start to whisper, Gu Zhenhua touched his nose, tactfully went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, leaving the space for the two of them.

"Your cooking skills are amazing. The braised chicken my mother-in-law brought back today was praised by our whole family."

After complimenting the person politely, Chen Xiulan started talking about what happened in the hospital today.

"You didn't go to the hospital today, so you don't know. Captain Wang went to pick up Luo Caixia to take her home at night, but Luo Caixia didn't listen to him. He even lost his temper in the hospital and was scolded by the nurses in our hospital."

Lin Xiangnan was now alert and said, "It's what he deserves. A man like Captain Wang should have been taught a lesson long ago."

Hearing Lin Xiangnan say this, Chen Xiulan seemed to have found a confidant, and complained: "You are still the best. I told this to our old Xu, and he scolded me and told me not to get involved in the Wang family's affairs. I didn't get involved in it in the first place, I just said a few fair words."

A few words could make a little girl's life a little better, so why wouldn't she do it?

Lin Xiangnan snorted, "Political Commissar Xu is a real man, but Captain Wang is not. Captain Wang even came to my house to bully me."

In other words, the situation in Gu Zhenhua's family is somewhat special.

Men raised in ordinary families in this era could not stand the provocation of Captain Wang. If Captain Wang scolded them outside, they would get angry with their wives when they got home.

Captain Wang is fanning the flames outside, so don't blame his own backyard for the fire.

Some of the things Captain Wang said were also said by Lin Xiangnan and the others.

As long as Luo Caixia is a good person and willing to learn, Lin Xiangnan and the others are willing to teach her more. It's not a big deal anyway.

"I just found out today that Miss Caixia had a hard life. Her mother died when she was a few years old, and her father died of illness when she was ten. She could only make a living at her uncle's house. She didn't even finish the third grade of elementary school and dropped out to help with housework..."

As Chen Xiulan was speaking, Wang Hu's crying sounded again from next door.

"That's true. He was holding his anger in the hospital and came back to vent it on his own child." Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but curl his lips.

Wang Hu had been spoiled by his family for so many years that it was difficult for him to be convinced by a scolding from Captain Wang.

Even though Captain Wang had hit him, he still cried and shouted, "I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat! I want to eat rabbit too! I want to eat braised meat too!"

The two little daughters of the Xu family were completely conquered after eating the dishes cooked by Lin Xiangnan. They praised Lin Xiangnan to the skies among their friends.

Other children were fine, but Wang Hu lived next door to Lin Xiangnan's house. He could smell the fragrance of her house when he passed by. He couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and started to make a fuss when he saw Captain Wang.

"What the hell are you eating? It's good enough to have rice to eat, and you still want to eat meat."

Captain Wang was annoyed by the crying and hit Wang Hu on the butt several times, making him scream in pain.

"Dad, I want to eat meat." Wang Hu cried particularly pitifully.

"It's all your mother's fault for spoiling you."

After taking care of his own child, Captain Wang cursed Lin Xiangnan in his heart for being a troublemaker. Without her, the child would not have made a fuss.

But Captain Wang only has this one son, what can he do?

Captain Wang wiped his face, found the meat tickets at home, and walked towards Lin Xiangnan's house with Wang Hu.

Lin Xiangnan and Chen Xiulan were secretly talking bad about Captain Wang.

Seeing the real person walking towards them, they looked at each other awkwardly.

Chen Xiulan took the lead and said, "I'll talk to you tomorrow. I'm going back first."

After saying that, she slipped away without any sense of justice.

Lin Xiangnan stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air, but he couldn't even catch the corner of the clothes. In the end, he could only scratch his eyebrows awkwardly.

She was embarrassed, and Captain Wang was embarrassed too. When he saw her, he said, "It's mainly because the children smelled the odor and made a fuss at home. Do you have any extra braised meat at home? I'll exchange it with you for the ticket."

Wang Hu blinked and looked at Lin Xiangnan expectantly.

Lin Xiangnan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't expect that Captain Wang came to him because of such a trivial matter.

Speculation and private business were all reported. Lin Xiangnan could not sell the braised meat, so he could only exchange it at the original price.

She doesn't care about money, but she cares about the value of her labor.

Lin Xiangnan glanced at Captain Wang and refused with a smile, "I'm sorry, Captain Wang, I bought little meat and my family finished it in one meal."

Gu Zhenhua was in the kitchen and had already put two chicken legs in a bowl. When he heard what Lin Xiangnan said, he put the chicken legs back into the basin.

You may not give face to Captain Wang, but you must give face to your wife.

Wang Hu calmed down because he could eat meat, and when Lin Xiangnan rejected him, he was about to cry on the spot.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Xiangnan patted the door frame warningly.

Captain Wang was dissatisfied, "No, then no. Why are you scaring the child?"

When Lin Xiangnan heard this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight.

Wang Hu's eyes widened when he saw this, and he held back his tears. He pulled Captain Wang's sleeve and urged him, "Dad, I'm hungry. Let's go home quickly."
