"I only invited a few old comrades from the county this time, but not those from the city. It's too far and it's not convenient to go there once. They are also very busy at work. I thought we might as well order two tables after we get back and just join in the fun here."
Jiang Mengxue thought about it and decided it was a good idea. It would be really troublesome to go to the city. They had originally planned to set up two tables in the courtyard, so it would be the same if they invited guests later.
A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Jiang Mengxue will have to live here for at least a few years. She gets along well with the aunts in the yard. It is really not good that she didn't even bother with the marriage.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. He Dazhong, who lives in the main house on the west side of our courtyard, and Tang He, who lives in the side room, are his sons-in-law. They are both chefs in the factory cafeteria. Let's invite them when the time comes."
Last time I met Wang Qun in the hospital, she brought her daughter He Jingjing for a prenatal checkup. They had agreed to ask He Dazhong to come over in the evening to let Jiang Mengxue take a look. I don’t know if it was because He Dazhong was too chauvinistic or if the two of them didn’t trust her medical skills. Anyway, Wang Qun came over in the evening and said that there was no need to see her. Anyway, they were both old and didn’t plan to have children anymore, so it didn’t matter whether they saw her or not.
What could Jiang Mengxue say? Of course she didn't care. They all lived in the same courtyard. If there was really a need, she would help for free. If there was no need, she wouldn't rush to help.
But if you just ask them to cook a few tables of dishes, they will not refuse such a small thing. Those who live nearby always invite them when there is something to do, so it would be wrong not to ask them.
When they got home, the food was already warm in the pot. After learning the secret of each other's space, the two decided that unless necessary, their lives would remain the same as everyone else's.
You can't just throw the leftovers into the space just to maintain the taste of the food, or else you might expose your flaws in front of others next time if you're not paying attention.
Nowadays, everyone is very cautious. It can be said that anyone, including neighbors, pedestrians on the street, relatives and friends, who behaves suspiciously may be an enemy spy.
There are even children who report their parents. As long as your behavior is suspicious, you may be reported at any time. After all, it is better to catch the wrong person than to let him go.
People nowadays are very enthusiastic and proud of their actions. They don’t think that it is better to do less than more. If everyone is like this, no one will do it.
The 1950s and 1960s were a time when enemy spies were rampant, and anyone around you could be one.
Jiang Mengxue had read in the news before that some spies lived normal lives like ordinary people, got married and had children, and even remained undetected until they were in their seventies or eighties.
It's not necessarily in the city. Some spies marry rural men for security and live like rural women, giving birth to a bunch of children and raising a bunch of grandchildren.
Who would believe that such a person would be a spy? People have the impression that spies would be lurking in important departments of the country and would steal important documents and information of the country at any time. The whole thing is like a spy movie. But in real life, there are even more tricks. There is nothing they can't do, except what you can't think of.
Therefore, the two of them have always believed that they should be careful not to use space to cheat in their daily life unless it is absolutely necessary. This is because they are afraid that it will become a habit and they may be exposed without even noticing.
Although Jiang Mengxue believed that they would not be sliced, it was certain that the things would be handed over to the country for research, and they would even be required to keep them under guard to prevent leakage.
No matter which one it is, they cannot accept it. Could it be that they are so naive to think that they just need to hand it over.
In Gu Qingbei's opinion, it would be better to grow more food to alleviate the famine. This is much more important than other things, and it is what he wants to do most.
But he would not make a large-scale move without thinking, everything is within the controllable range.
The amount of food that comes out of his space every month is nothing for the entire city, so there is no need to worry about the consequences of large amounts of food flooding into the market. It will not reach that level.
He would only lift a few dozen or a few hundred kilograms at a time, depending on the situation, and could not even create a small wave.
Jiang Mengxue thought of the cave she had seen on the mountain before: "I found the air-raid shelter used by our ancestors on the mountain behind Taoyuan Brigade. The area inside was quite large, and there was a space hidden by a mechanism inside."
"An air-raid shelter? Yes, there is one. I went there when I was a kid. The one you mentioned has a lot of good stuff in it. I don't know if it was hidden by some old man or if it was a bandit's treasure room. These things are all in the warehouse in the space. I set aside a separate area for them."
The corner of Jiang Mengxue's mouth twitched. She certainly knew that there was another room inside, but she didn't expect that he would discover the things inside first and get there first.
"I've also discovered the room inside. I can still see some marks on the floor where something was placed, but they're not very obvious anymore."
