Chapter 285 There Must Be No Next Time
It is now 1974, and resources are scarce. Unlike Cen Yan, the Yu family does not have a personal space or the vast wealth of the Cen family, and can eat whatever they want.
In an era when people were so careful with every penny, the fact that the Yu family ate meat so early in the morning was highly suspicious.
Qi Jingchuan playfully pinched her nose. "These inferences cannot be used as evidence to prove that Comrade Tian Ying stole our family's pork cracklings. It's just a little pork crackling, don't get too upset."
“If it’s just a little bit of pork cracklings, and Sister Yu’s kids are craving it and ask for it, I’ll definitely give it to them, but stealing is wrong.” Cen Yan shook her head; this wasn’t about the pork cracklings.
Seeing her insistence, Qi Jingchuan decided to let the matter drop. "What do you want to do? Go and argue with her? Or should I go and talk to Yu Qingguo about the pork cracklings and make him pay?"
"You're such a strange person." Cen Yan, who had been somewhat serious just now, was suddenly both amused and exasperated by Qi Jingchuan's words. "You went to Yu Qingguo to complain about a meal of pork cracklings? Is it really necessary? People will say that you, Commander Qi, are so stingy that you have to fuss over a few pieces of pork cracklings."
"Qi Jingchuan, I'm not insisting on dwelling on a few pieces of pork lard, but Tian Ying somehow got into our house and took our things. That's definitely wrong, and I can't accept just anyone entering my home. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood." Qi Jingchuan and Cen Yan are the same kind of people; he doesn't like others trespassing into his "private" space without permission.
Cen Yan continued, "What you just said isn't without merit. I personally believe that Tian Ying stole our pork cracklings, which is indeed inappropriate, since there's no evidence. What if she was really generous and wanted to splurge a little, letting her family experience some meat and nourish their bodies?"
"So regardless of whether Tian Ying stole it or not, I don't want to hold the Yu family accountable this time, considering they have so many children. But there must never be a next time!"
"Qi Jingchuan, help me find a few things, and come back early tonight. We'll do this..."
Cen Yan whispered her plan into Qi Jingchuan's ear.
She will be wary of Tian Ying.
Qi Jingchuan felt his wife's breath and the warmth of her voice spraying on his neck. Even though he was wearing many clothes, he didn't feel cold.
He still had some goosebumps on his neck.
His wife smelled so good, what should he do? He really wanted to explore further, to see just how much more fragrant she could be...
Qi Jingchuan moved closer, somewhat oblivious to the moment, but Cen Yan pulled away and continued to adjust the flavor of the bun filling while standing in front of the stove.
"Remember to bring back what I asked for later. If Tian Ying dares to do it a second time, I promise I'll make her remember it forever!"
Qi Jingchuan replied absentmindedly, "Hmm!"
He casually echoed a couple of comments, his large, bony hands, with prominent veins, holding the military-style hat to cover his private parts, and quickly left the kitchen.
Cen Yan didn't notice anything unusual about him; all she could think about was making the thief who stole her pork lard taste the consequences of his theft.
Qi Jingchuan ate the steamed buns made by Cen Yan for breakfast. It was getting late, so he went to the army base. Before leaving, Cen Yan asked him to deliver some steamed buns to his grandparents on his way.
Scallion and pork buns, and pork crackling and cabbage buns are both hearty dishes with plenty of meat and fish, a rare treat for ordinary families.
