Chapter 374 A Hearty Meal



The others were used to Jiu Tiao's endless chatter and also used to not understanding him, so they would just nod occasionally, give Jiu Tiao a look that said "I got it", and then continue to share their ideas with their brothers.

"Hmph~" In the lively atmosphere, little Jiu Tiao clearly felt the perfunctory attitude of his brothers. He grumbled for a while and then tinkered with it by himself as usual.

When he heard his brothers talking about his mother, he shook his head and leaned over to say a few words, chattering away.

The few older ones could only understand Jiu Tiao's "mother ah ah ah" and the ligatures that popped out frequently. They really didn't understand the rest of the confusing baby talk, so they decisively ignored it and took the opportunity to gather Jiu Tiao's messy little hands...

"Jiu Tiao, open your mouth~" San Tiao saw that Jiu Tiao didn't get a response and seemed lonely and aggrieved, so he fed him some snacks to keep his brother's mouth busy.

"Sanduoduo, Sanduoduo~" Jiu Tiao was busy licking the snacks, and he didn't have time to chat with himself. He just nodded his head and clapped his hands to show his support for his good brother San Tiao.

"Ah~" After showing his support, Jiu Tiao happily waited to be fed.

The method of catching three fish at a time works, so just feed them a few at a time.

Six of them were also generous enough to feed a little more. They were discussing something important and needed a quiet Nine of them!

"Duoduo, Yiduoduo~ pat pat pat~ Youduoduo..." Seeing his brothers touching him and praising him, Jiujo felt like he had successfully joined the group chat, and his little hands clapped even more happily. The little guy was so focused on cheering for each of his brothers that he didn't even move his fingers to scratch the white drawing paper...

They are all a group of children with sincere hearts! Qian Dawei and the others stood by the table, watching silently. At this moment, the men all thought the same thing in their hearts: these children will definitely have great prospects in the future...

"Sizzle~" Several adults were watching the children in the living room, while Cheng Zhenzhu was busy frying thinly sliced ​​pork belly in the kitchen, adding fire.

Comrade Dawei bought pork belly, fried it into pearls, scooped it into a bowl, and then used the remaining fragrant, slightly salty meat oil to stir-fry chili peppers, and then added two eggs. The aroma exploded...

After a bowl of rich and fragrant rice came out of the pot, Cheng Zhenzhu shoveled the rice in the pot next to her into a small hill, poked a few holes in it, and turned off the heat to continue steaming. This way the rice cooks more easily and the rice crust is more fragrant.

In fact, Dawei and his companions had come to cook for them. But the old man and his companions had arrived in a hurry and were eager to leave, so she persuaded them to stay, and they postponed their departure after lunch to after dinner.

So she couldn't let her comrades work hard to cook, and she had to treat them to two good meals.

At least we have to cook the dishes they brought specially.

She killed, plucked, and chopped the chicken and duck the old man and his friends had brought. She planned to stir-fry the chicken with mushrooms and stew the duck for the evening. And then, coming here, fish was a must: one braised and one boiled. She also made a shrimp and crab casserole with the shrimp and crabs she'd brought back from the sea.

The rest of the meal consisted of two plates of steamed scallops, paired with the garlic and chili sauce Comrade Xiao De had brought. The children's favorite dried vegetable fish ball soup and steamed eggs were also served...

Finally, this sumptuous lunch, which was similar to the New Year’s Eve dinner, started at one o’clock.

Although Cheng Zhenzhu was already a skilled worker, preparing seven or eight large dishes was no easy task and took a lot of time. Furthermore, preparing the chicken, duck, fish, and meat was quite a hassle. Fortunately, she had a group of helpers...

"Oh, if only we had known we would have come a day earlier!" At the dinner table, Wang Xiongtian was eating delicious food and was immediately annoyed when he heard the children say that their grandma had just passed away that morning.

This time, it was such a coincidence! It was just a little bit off... He had wanted to meet Comrade Zhenzhu's family for a long time, hoping to express his gratitude.

Thank you for letting Zhenzhu raise Jiu Tiao, and thank you for loving their Jiu Tiao. Although Jiu Tiao can't speak yet, when I hear the other Jiu Tiaos mention their grandparents, their faces are always full of happiness. I know that Zhenzhu's parents are good people, and their Jiu Tiao must have benefited from their kindness.

"Oh, it's my fault, my fault." Qian Dawei slapped his thigh, blaming himself and feeling annoyed. It was all his fault for being too obsessed with one truth...

If he hadn't been delayed in Caoshi for so long, he would have been able to meet her no matter what. The old man had long wanted to meet Cheng Saozi's family to express his gratitude. When he learned that Cheng Saozi's family was coming this summer, he was very happy for a while.

"Comrade Dawei, how can you be blamed for this? If you want to blame someone, blame those unscrupulous parasites..." Zhao Dali thought about what had happened recently, and the frustration and anger in his heart had nowhere to vent.

Around June, while sorting through Weimin's belongings, they found a strange letter hidden in a hidden corner. It seemed to be from Weimin, intended for Comrade Lu Jiamu. The letter contained some daily matters, but the sentences were incoherent, and the date on it was after Weimin's death...

As former soldiers, their keen intuition made them feel that the letter was unusual, but they studied it for a long time and could not dig out more information. Later, the old man remembered that Comrade Dawei had mentioned something to him, so they sent the letter to Comrade Dawei.

It turned out that Comrade Dawei had relied on Comrade Jiamu's encryption method, which Comrade Dawei happened to understand. After understanding the content, he realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately came to Caoshi with some other clues to find them.

The letter revealed a serious situation. Weimin wrote about "corrupt officials" in the army. After investigation, he narrowed down his suspicions to three individuals. One of them was Yan Lidong, the man Jiutiao's mother, Sun Xiaowan, remarried.

At first, they just thought that Sun Xiaowan and Yan Lidong were emotionally involved, but if this Yan Lidong was the "worm" that Weimin had found, then they really doubted the cause of Weimin's death...

So, for over a month, they'd split up their investigation into two directions. Comrade Dawei was investigating Comrade Jiamu's line, while they were investigating Brother Weimin's. They even went to the full moon banquet with Sun Xiaowan's invitation, investigating some of Yan Lidong's affairs. They couldn't let Brother Weimin die with regrets!

But over the past month and a half, they've encountered particularly strong resistance. Yan Lidong is only on the same level as Weimin, so it's unlikely he has such immense power. Therefore, they suspect someone else is responsible.
