Chen Jiao smiled and said, "Thanks to everyone for taking care of me during this period. Tomorrow night, please come to my house for dinner."
"Xiao Shen, how can this be so embarrassing?" He Qiongzhen said quickly with a smile on her face.
Chen Jiao looked at He Qiongzhen with sincere eyes, "Sister He, you are being too polite. If it weren't for your support over the past few months, how could my work be carried out so well? You must come tomorrow night, and I would like to toast you to thank you!"
No one doesn't like to hear good words.
When Shen Jiao said this, He Qiongzhen smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on the corners of her eyes. "Okay, okay, Xiao Shen, don't worry, I will definitely be there tomorrow night."
The next day, when Chen Jiao went shopping, she took Lu Wu with her.
The purchases made by state-owned restaurants from grain stations and meat processing plants are all business-to-business and not difficult. The only thing is to maintain good interpersonal relationships.
If you offend someone, the people at the grain station or the meat processing plant will have plenty of ways to make things difficult for you.
After Chen Jiao took Lu Wu to purchase the ingredients for the store, she asked Lu Wu to take the ingredients back first.
She found a secluded place, slipped into the space, and took out the ingredients for tonight's meal.
Now that the weather is cold, it is a good time to eat mutton. She took a leg of mutton and two bags of mutton offal, planning to set up a stove in the yard and roast a leg of lamb tonight.
Cook two more pots of mutton offal soup, add some mutton and vegetables, and everyone will have a delicious meal.
Today Chen Jiao is going to fry the hot pot base.
Although she had spared no effort to teach Lu Wu and Li Yan about other dishes, she had no intention of giving them the recipe for the hot pot base.
She also made it clear to them early on that in the future, she would fry and package the base ingredients used in the store and mail them back.
However, mailing is troublesome, so Shen Jiao fried a little more this time.
Fortunately, beef hot pot base has a long shelf life as long as it is stored properly.
After dinner, Lu Zhengxu came to pick people up.
Last night, Chen Jiao told Lu Zhengxu that she wanted to treat everyone to a meal, so today Lu Zhengxu borrowed a tractor from the village.
He carried Chen Jiao and Li Yan's bicycles onto the tractor and put them away before inviting everyone to get on.
The tractor was still some distance away from Dajiang Village. Lu Wu said to Chen Jiao with some embarrassment: "Sister-in-law, I won't go to your house for dinner today."
Chen Jiao looked at Lu Wu's embarrassed expression and instantly understood why he didn't go.
During this period, Lu Wu went to the store early in the morning every day and came back an hour or two later than them in the afternoon.
Even if you meet them in the village, they won't even say hello.
The purpose of Lu Wu doing this was undoubtedly that he didn't want Lu Wenbo and Zhang Biying to find out that he was working in the city.
Although it is impossible to keep this secret forever, he probably wants to keep it secret for a while, just a while.
Chen Jiao nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Zheng Xu to bring you and your sister-in-law a bowl of soup and some meat later that evening."
Lu Wu did not refuse, but said gratefully: "Sister-in-law, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Two miles away from Dajiang Village, Lu Wu asked Lu Zhengxu to stop the car, and he got out and walked back.
When Lu Wu got home, Lu Zhengxu, Shen Jiao and others had already been there for quite some time.
Just as Lu Wu was about to open the door and enter the yard, a figure flashed in front of him and blocked his way.
When Lu Wu saw Zhang Biying, he couldn't help but frown and took two steps back.
Zhang Biying seemed to not understand Lu Wu's expression at all. She pointed in the direction of Chen Jiao's house and said, "Boss, Lu Zhengxu borrowed a tractor from the village to go to the city to pick up Chen Jiao and the people working at the restaurant. Why didn't he bring you back along the way? Didn't you meet him?"
Lu Wu didn't say anything.
Zhang Biying immediately thought that Lu Wu had run into Lu Zhengxu and the others, but Lu Zhengxu and Shen Jiao were unwilling to give him a ride.
He just spat and said, "Bah! What a bullshit! Do you really think that just because you are a soldier and have a job, you are so capable? You don't even recognize your own brothers.
You bastard! Sooner or later, Marx will take care of it! ”
When Lu Wu heard Zhang Biying's words, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
In the past, when Zhang Biying was at home, she was actually a little weird, and she always cursed people with all kinds of ghosts and monsters.
After she was sent to study struggle this time, her ideological awareness improved a lot.
Even when cursing someone, they know to call him Marx.
What happened before made Lu Wu feel suffocated. He didn’t want to talk to Zhang Biying anymore. He said coldly, “Mom, if you don’t have anything to do, please move aside. Xiaohui and Yongwa are still waiting for me at home with hungry stomachs.”
Zhang Biying's eyes lit up when she heard Lu Wu's words, "Big Boss, did you get anything in the city today? Come on, give some to mom first. Life is hard this winter. Mom has been tightening her belt so much that she's almost starving to death."
Zhang Biying looked at Lu Wu with burning eyes. Some time ago, Lu Wu directly picked up a knife to cut the meat, which really scared her.
After she calmed down for a while, she thought that as a mother, it was only natural for her to ask her own son for food.
After hearing that Lu Wu went to the city early and came back late every day, she guessed that Lu Wu must have gone to the city to beg for food.
After all, during this period, the rice jars of every household were empty, and many people in the village were so hungry that they had to go out to beg for food with their families.
Yongwa is still young and cannot stand the cold outside. It is impossible for Lu Wu to go out to beg with his family, so he can only go out to beg by himself every day and bring the money back home.
Lu Wu glanced at Zhang Biying.
