"Yes, I have nothing to do at home. Auntie has good taste and picked the best ones. I've been to their village and found that all the vegetables there are grown on the mountain with good sunshine. The tomatoes are sweet and sour, and have a sandy flesh. They are delicious even when eaten raw."
"Oh, really? Then take these. I also ordered two pounds of eggs."
Meng Si Ning said, "The eggs are here. Don't look at them as small, but they are laid by chickens that feed on insects in the mountains. They are called grass insect eggs and have the highest nutritional value."
"Really? I bought the eggs for my grandson. I should have bought more. Do you have any extra?"
Accountant Wang said, "There aren't many eggs in the village, so this is just enough."
Meng Si Ning hurriedly explained, "Auntie, because they are grass insect eggs, there are too many people who want them. Some time ago, several large factories came to order eggs from their village, and now they are in short supply."
"Oh, what a pity! When will you have more? If you do, I'll order more."
Old man Zhang on the side laughed and said, "Just go find Secretary Jiang and tell her in advance. Ask her to keep an eye out for you. As soon as there's any in the village, she'll send it to you."
"That's good."
After the picky aunt left, Accountant Wang couldn't help but praise: "Reporter Meng is still good at speaking. We old mouths are so stupid. Pengguo, learn from Reporter Meng."
Xia Qiu, who was collecting money, happened to be behind her. He turned around and said with a smile, "Si Ning is a reporter. She's the best at writing about this. Where's Jiang Tang? We're helping her, so she's hiding."
Meng Si Ning said, "I'm delivering goods in the compound."
Gu Jingshen on the side looked at her and said, "Comrade Meng, last time, thanks to you, I have been here for so long and have not had the chance to thank you properly.
Are you free today? Bring Comrade Jiang along, and Qiuqiu and I will treat you to a meal."
Meng Si Ning was about to refuse, but before he could say anything, Xia Qiu said, "You should thank Si Ning properly. Why go outside?" He pointed at the dishes and said, "Have Jiang Tang serve them later. Go buy some meat and I'll cook it for you."
After saying that, he looked at Meng Si Ning embarrassedly and whispered, "Si Ning, can I go to your house? My mother is off today. Jing Shen met my mother yesterday and she didn't look very happy. She is very angry now. I don't dare to take Jing Shen back."
Meng Si Ning said: "I didn't help much, no need to thank me specially, just take care of yourself."
Xia Qiu took her arm and said coquettishly, "How can that be? Didn't you say that my cooking is delicious? I'm usually busy and don't have a chance to see you. This is a good time for us to talk."
Meng Si Ning frowned. It would be okay if there was no male lead.
With the male lead around, she really wasn't willing to do that.
Just when I didn't know what to say.
The event was interrupted when a neighbor came over to get some food.
They were busy like this until after eleven o'clock. Seeing that there were fewer people around, Gu Jingshen suggested going to buy meat first.
Meng Si Ning didn't know about this. When it was almost twelve o'clock, Xia Qiu suggested going back to cook: "I asked Jing Shen to buy meat. It should be almost done here. You can ask Brother Lin to go back with me. I'll go back and prepare first."
Meng Si Ning didn't know how to refuse. Seeing that his younger brother was listless, he just let him go back with Xia Qiu first.
At around twelve o'clock, Jiang Tang came over and checked the order with the two accountants.
There are only a dozen or so shops left, and there is no one in these shops right now.
Jiang Tang asked two accountants to pack up the dozen or so copies and send them to her home so they could have a meal together.
Because Liu Xiulan had already called them once.
They brought a lot of vegetables when they came, and there were some eggplants and beans left.
There happened to be some items that had not been ordered in advance, and Uncle Zhang insisted on keeping them to see if he could sell them.
Jiang Tang refused: "Uncle Zhang, we've been busy all morning. How can we bear it? Besides, it's so hot in the middle of the day, and no one comes out."
After saying that, he pulled Meng Si Ning and said, "Si Ning, you don't have to cook at noon, come to my house."
Gu Jingshen, who had just returned from buying meat, rode over on his bike. Upon hearing her words, he hurriedly said, "Comrade Jiang, you don't have to cook lunch. Qiuqiu and I will treat you to dinner at Comrade Meng's house today. It might be a little late, so it's a good time for you to arrange for a few members first."
Jiang Tang was confused by what he heard.
After Gu Jingshen left, he asked, "Why did he invite us to dinner for no apparent reason?"
Meng Si Ning shrugged: "He said he wanted to thank me."
"Humph, that's a lame excuse. I guess I just want to see you."
"So, sometimes, you just can't get away. I'll help you pack up your things. I don't want to go home at all right now."
A few people nearby said enthusiastically, "No need to collect, no need to collect. There's not much stuff, we can do it ourselves. The donkey carts and ox carts are tied up in the square."
Several people followed Jiang Tang back to the Jiang family.
Looking at the two-story building of the Jiang family.
The furnishings in the living room, even the refrigerator and radio.
For the first time, I intuitively felt the life of rich people.
Their Secretary Jiang is no ordinary person.
What was even more unexpected was that Jiang Guangtao also came back.
Jiang Tang looked at his father and asked in surprise, "Dad, why are you back?"
Jiang Guangtao took a towel and lovingly wiped her hot, red face and said, "When someone comes home, how can I not come back to see them?"
As he said that, he handed the towel in his hand to Jiang Tang and went up to shake hands with Shiji: "Excuse me for the inconvenience, it must be terribly hot outside. Please come in."
Wang Duoqian and Liu Yishou looked at Jiang Guangtao in military uniform and felt so awkward that they didn't know what to do.
He raised his hand and looked at the dirt on it, then quickly said, "Commander Jiang, we wanted to shake hands with you and get a taste of your nobleness, but unfortunately our hands are very dirty and we're afraid of getting them dirty, Commander Jiang."
Wang Duoqian standing by was not to be outdone: "Yes, yes, my hands are too dirty."
Jiang Guangtao smiled brightly and said, "You're too polite. Call me Old Jiang, or Brother Jiang. Come wash your hands quickly. The water is ready for you. Dinner will be served soon."
At this time, Liu Xiulan came out of the kitchen and said, "Zhang Laoshu, Accountant Wang, Accountant Liu, Comrade Sun, please come in and sit down."
After washing their hands and faces, they looked at the mud under their feet and the smooth floor of the living room, and they felt too embarrassed to go in.
Uncle Zhang said, "I won't go in. The yard is fine."
Wang Duoqian said, "Yes, yes, the yard is fine."
Jiang Guangtao pulled Uncle Zhang and said, "Uncle, please don't be polite. Come in and cool down. I've turned on the fan. It's a waste of money if you don't go in.
Xiulan has prepared some cold dishes in the room, so let’s go in and have some to fill our stomachs.”
Uncle Zhang was pulled into the house, and the remaining ginger candies were also pushed into the house.
The eight people seemed reserved when they arrived in the living room.
I didn't even dare to move while sitting on the sofa.
Fortunately, Liu Xiulan came in with a bowl of noodles: "You must be hungry, come to our house and don't be so reserved. Come, young men, here are the bowls, help yourselves, I'll bring the stewed meat over."
