Wang Guifen was so engrossed in watching the fun that even when the meal in the brigade canteen was almost ready, she was still mixed in the crowd, sitting with her feet up, listening to all kinds of gossip with relish.
When her daughter-in-law Goudan's mother came to see her, she saw that she was still unsatisfied and felt both amused and helpless.
"Mom, I forgot to cook! The captain's aunt and a few others are almost done cooking!"
"Oh my! I forgot, forgot, forgot!" Wang Guifen slapped her thigh and squeezed out.
Thick smoke was rising from the brigade canteen. Wang Guifen ran back quickly, repeatedly saying that she had been delayed.
The people who cook in the cafeteria usually have a good relationship with each other. They also know that Wang Guifen loves to watch the fun, so they all smiled and told her to just hold the bowl and wait to eat today.
Soon the gong was sounded in the cafeteria and the meal was served.
The crowd in front of the Lin family's door gradually dispersed, leaving only a few children lingering in the car, unwilling to leave.
The parent picked the child up, slapped him twice on the butt, and took him to the cafeteria to eat.
Qin Zhongyi and Lin Zhongxiao found it amusing and couldn't help but smile.
"It's better to stay here!" Qin Zhongyi joked with a smile, "Look, you've laughed several times since you got off the bus!"
Lin Zhongxiao smiled and coughed a few times. When he stopped, he said, "The countryside is the place where the warmth and coldness of human nature can be best seen."
That’s right. Some villages have simple folk customs, some have tough folk customs, some villagers are reasonable, and some are unreasonable.
But fortunately, this place is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, so all he saw was the good side. If he were to go to a place with tough and unreasonable people, I'm afraid Lin Zhongxiao would have a headache!
"Xiao Jiang, take out the brown sugar we prepared earlier from the luggage. Come with me to the cafeteria to distribute it. We're new here, so it's always a good idea to get along well with the folks!"
Managing relationships well with neighbors can save a lot of trouble. Qin Zhongyi knows rural life all too well. Sometimes, a single onion or half a head of garlic can lead to a fight. Although Wangjia Village boasts a simple and honest culture and its members are very kind, it's better to have less trouble than more! At least when they're looking for trouble, they'll at least give in for the sake of Hongtang!
As we were talking, someone knocked on the door.
Qin Zhongyi went out and saw that it was the captain and a young man.
"You're new here, so we don't have anything nice to offer. I noticed your family wasn't feeling well, so I didn't invite you to the cafeteria. It's too noisy there. My son and I will bring you some food, so you can just make do with it."
Qin Zhongyi quickly took it and said, "Thank you so much! I'll take our rations back. I'd also like to ask the canteen to bring some for us when they cook in the future!"
The captain thought, "As expected, they're a wealthy family, and they're very particular about what they do! I didn't even bother to bring up the ration issue, but they brought it up first, saving me the embarrassment!"
The two chatted for a while, and the captain left in a happy mood.
The food in Wangjia Village has always been good. The ingredients are good, and even the big pot rice tastes good.
Lin Zhongxiao has always had a poor appetite, but when he opened his lunch box and smelled the aroma of the food, he actually felt a little greedy.
The meal was very homely, with a plate of diced radish and fried dried fish, a plate of potato slices with green peppers, and the staple food was diced sweet potatoes and brown rice.
"This smell..." Qin Zhongyi said, "I didn't expect it! Wangjia Village is quite surprising!"
"With such natural treasures on the mountain, Wangjia Village is not simple." Lin Zhongxiao took a mouthful of sweet potato diced rice and stopped talking.
Seeing him concentrating on eating, Qin Zhongyi quickly joined the team.
The four of them were silent and focused on eating.
Qin Zhongyi raised his head and reminded Lin Zhongxiao: "Eat slowly!"
After saying this, he wolfed down a few mouthfuls of rice.
Lin Zhongxiao was silent for a moment, and then became even more silent as he watched the other party finish all the food on the plate with just a few chopsticks.
Qin Zhongyi put down his chopsticks and burped: "Delicious! I can't help but eat too much!"
Lin Zhongxiao...didn't want to talk.
After a moment he asked, "Can you go see if there's anything left in the cafeteria?"
The two drivers quickly put down their chopsticks and said, "I'll go!"
“I’ll go!”
The two of them ran as fast as they could, fearing that if they were a step late, all the food in the cafeteria would be gone.
Qin Zhongyi looked at the two figures and asked, "What are you doing? Are you still not full?"
Lin Zhongxiao looked at Qin Zhongyi and said, "You've been a Chinese medicine practitioner for many years. You just told me to chew slowly, but I see you eat faster than anyone else!"
He eats the most!
Hearing the tone, Qin Zhongyi realized that Lin Zhongxiao was not full either.
"You have such a good appetite today?" Qin Zhongyi asked in surprise.
Lin Zhongxiao ordered some food and said, "It will make you feel good after eating it."
He used to feel sick to his stomach and vomit bile whenever he ate. So, whenever it came time to eat, he was terrified. If he didn't eat, he'd lack nutrition and be terribly hungry. If he ate, he'd vomit most of it again, making him feel terribly uncomfortable.
The food on the table today is not some kind of delicacies, but it makes my stomach feel comfortable after eating it, and I don’t feel like vomiting.
"You've come to the right place!" Qin Zhongyi slapped the table, shaking his chopsticks so much that they jumped up. Eating had always been a problem for Lin Zhongxiao. He hadn't expected that the problem would be solved as soon as he arrived!
The two drivers returned quickly, bringing a covered pudding bowl, half filled with diced sweet potatoes and brown rice, the other half with vegetables.
"Mr. Lin, eat quickly!" Xiao Jiang leaned sideways to block Qin Zhongyi.
Qin Zhongyi... What kind of person am I in your heart? Do I need you to block me?
Delicious old man! Xiao Jiang looked at Qin Zhongyi warily, and when he saw that he really had no intention of picking up his chopsticks again, he sat down and continued eating.
"Go back tomorrow and bring a cart of food to Wangjia Village. Bring some foreign goods and local specialties to share with everyone. I think the people in Wangjia Village are pretty good!"
Lin Zhongxiao ordered Xiao Jiang and the other two.
In the Wangjia Village cafeteria, everyone had gone out to eat but still stayed together, talking about the new Lin family.
The captain cleared his throat and said to everyone, "I just asked the Lin family, and they will deliver the rations later. Mr. Qin also told me that they prepared a bag of brown sugar for each of our families!"
"Wow! Such a generous gesture! They are indeed a wealthy family! They are always lavish!"
There was a lot of discussion in the cafeteria.
Jiaojiao has gathered together the friends who went up the mountain to pick red fruits some time ago.
"This is the candy Grandpa Qin brought! Look! They're all White Rabbit!"
Jiaojiao opened the cloth bag, revealing hundreds of White Rabbit milk candies.
“Wow!”
"Grandpa Qin, do you want more red fruits? I'll go pick some more!" Gou'er was the first to shout.
"I'm going too!"
"I'm going too! I'm going too!"
Jiaojiao took the rack and said slowly, "I've already asked, not only red fruits, but other fruits are also fine! I'll take you to pick them later!"
She was wondering what other good things she could take out of the space.
