Chapter 217 People are addicted to food
In the evening, Xie Yi went out early to pick up his wife from the department store after get off work.
He walked fast, and when he got there, he had nothing to do, so he pulled over to chat with the old man who was watching the bicycle shed nearby.
Qin Weihong, who always leaves early, walked down the stairs and prepared to get her bicycle.
Seeing a "little poplar" standing at the door of the shed, she was stunned.
There was no way this gay man's face and figure just suited her aesthetic taste.
I used to think the building I saw at the post office a while ago looked nice, but now I don’t know where it went.
Qin Weihong's eyes turned, she smoothed her hair, and prepared to go forward and strike up a conversation.
Xie Yi was talking to the old man, one was the funny one and the other was the supporting one, when they saw Lin Xiaotong coming out of the door.
"Uncle, my wife is here. Let's talk another day."
"You're from Xiaolin's family. No wonder you're from the same family. You're all good-looking. The child you'll have in the future will definitely be beautiful too."
"Master, you have a really good eye for people."
Xie Yi talked and laughed, and walked up the stairs with his long legs.
When Qin Weihong saw this person walking towards her, she felt shy and a little embarrassed.
But she still pretended to be reserved, slowed down her pace, and frequently touched her short hair with her hands.
One step, two steps, getting closer and closer, and then... passing by.
Qin Weihong was embarrassed and turned around to see Xie Yi going to find Lin Xiaotong.
"Xiaotong, let's go home. I've already pushed the bike out."
"Xie Yi, why are you here so early? Let's go home."
Qin Weihong was almost angry to death, and the smile on "Xiao Baiyang's" face became worthless.
The man I finally fell in love with turned out to be Lin Xiaotong's man. I was so angry.
Lin Xiaotong saw Miss Qin standing still and took a closer look at her but didn't ask anything.
Qin Weihong stomped her feet hard, turned around and left. She walked so fast that her short hair was blown up into the sky by the wind.
On the way back, Xie Yi rode a bike with Lin Xiaotong, and the two of them leisurely enjoyed the gentle evening breeze, feeling very comfortable.
"Mom won't be home for dinner tonight, do you want to buy some snacks for Dad?"
Lin Xiaotong sat in the back, grabbed Xie Yi's shirt and asked.
To be exact, none of the aunts in the compound will be home for dinner tonight because Jin Qiaofeng is treating them to a meal out.
"Okay, let's buy some braised pig ears and some peanuts to go with the wine."
"I want to eat old popsicles, can you eat them?"
In fact, it was almost October and the weather was not hot anymore. Gao Xiulan would always say something when she saw her eating something cold.
"Okay, are you afraid that Mom will scold you, so you're just dragging me into this?"
Xie Yi has been nagged by Gao Xiulan since he was a child.
"Just tell me whether you want to eat or not."
"I'll eat. By the way, what should we give to Nengzi when he gets married?"
The bicycle turned left, and Xie Yi thought of this.
"Mom asked me to buy a pair of Double Happiness enamel basins. When the time comes, two dollars per family will be enough as a gift."
After chatting all the way, they soon arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. Xie Yi got off the car and bought some braised pig ears, holding two old popsicles in his hand.
Xie Yi took a big bite and put it into his mouth, and gave both popsicles to Xiaotong.
"It's still the same old popsicle that quenches your thirst."
"The red bean popsicles I bought last time were also delicious."
Lin Xiaotong also took a bite and held it in her mouth, feeling a chill on her cheeks.
This inexplicably adds a little thrill of secretly eating behind the parents' backs.
Xie Yi chewed it up, then turned around and took another big bite from her hand.
"When I was in school, I would save my pocket money to buy popsicles in the summer, but after eating them, the popsicles would fall into my trouser pockets and I would forget to take them out.
The next morning, when my mother opened it, it was crawling with ants, and I got a good beating from her."
Xie Yi talked about his embarrassing moments while eating, which made Lin Xiaotong laugh out loud.
…
Here, Xie Da Jiao had already set up a small table under the apricot tree, eating peanuts and drinking beer, and the more she drank, the happier she became.
Zhou Jianguo, Wu Shengli and Qian Baozhu also came over with small chairs. Each of them brought a dish from home and they sat together at the table.
Wu Shengli threw a peanut into his mouth and chewed it, still grumbling.
"All these women are not at home, leaving me alone at home. It's really not decent."
Qian Baozhu brought a plate of braised pork slices from home, sat with his head tilted back, and pounded his legs with his hands.
"Hey, Old Wu, do you dare say that in front of your wife?"
Zhou Jianguo took a glance and exposed it directly.
"How could he have the guts to do that?"
Wu Shengli took a sip of beer, gritted his teeth, and began to feel dizzy.
"Hey, what are you talking about? I'm the head of my family. Am I really afraid of that bitch?"
Xie Da Jiao took a bite of meat and said, "Old Wu, drink less, or you'll be scolded again when you go home tonight."
Everyone in their compound knew that whenever the Wu couple fought, Wu Shengli was always the one being beaten.
"I'm just letting her have it. Otherwise, how could I be beaten by a woman? You guys can't see that."
Wu Shengli didn't believe it, so he took another big gulp of beer, and the alcohol started to get on his face.
He stumbled to his feet, ran to the west side of the steps at the front door of his house and lay down with his arms and legs spread out.
Zhou Jianguo was worried, so he ran out to take a look and heard Wu Shengli snoring loudly.
He sighed, picked up the person and sent him to the room. After he was done, he came out to continue drinking and eating.
Xie Da Jiao narrowed his eyes and took a sip of wine.
"Old Wu still has such a low alcohol tolerance. No wonder Diao Yulian always twists Wu Shengli's ear when he drinks."
Qian Baozhu then added: "The key is that he is a weak player and has a strong addiction."
"Dad, we're back. Oh, Uncle Qian and Uncle Zhou are here."
Xie Yi and Lin Xiaotong rushed back from outside and greeted the people gathered around the small dining table.
"It's just right to add a dish."
Lin Xiaotong went to the sink to wash her hands, then took the pig ears to the kitchen and got a knife to cut them into small pieces.
Zhou Jianguo stood up and patted Xie Yi's shoulder with his hand as big as a palm leaf fan.
"You've become a lot stronger."
He originally wanted to let his second son Zhiwen join the army, but he didn't expect that the boy was a little afraid of blood, so he didn't go in the end.
Qian Baozhu patted his round belly and said:
"I was a soldier too, why don't you praise me, Old Zhou?"
"Old Qian, if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known you were a soldier."
Lin Xiaotong cut the vegetables and put them on the table. Each person had a bowl of cold noodles with shredded cucumber. After eating, they went home.
She also heated up fish soup for Xiaoju. Xiaohei was so greedy that he kept biting his tail, but he still didn't dare to stick his head over to steal a bite.
As soon as it gets dark, mosquitoes will come out to nest, and staying in the yard will just feed them.
It was already seven o'clock when Gao Xiulan came back. The female soldiers were bustling as they entered the yard.
"Let me tell you, I, Jin Qiaofeng, always keep my word."
Diao Yulian fanned herself with her hands: "Alright, alright, your words are making my ears calloused. Take a break."
Gao Xiulan swatted a mosquito to death with both hands: "Apart from anything else, the food tonight tastes pretty good."
Yang Shujuan also thought so: "This chef has excellent skills."
Yu Afen thought that Qian Yu went to Qian Min's house today, and Qian Baozhu was the only one at home.
"I don't know what they eat at home."
Guan Lamei picked at her teeth with a toothpick and said, "They probably just got together to drink and brag."
