Chapter 194
Just as they were busy, Song Jingzhou came back.
Su Qingci hurried over and said, "Guang Zongyaozu, did you buy beef?"
"Wow, Captain Song, you're amazing. Where did you find this?"
Song Jingzhou casually threw the meat on the chopping board and said, "I don't know where I got this calf with a broken leg from the black market today."
"They're slaughtering them right now at the market. There's a huge crowd around here."
"I finally squeezed in, and the calf was so miserable. It looked less than a year old and was crying for help with tears in its eyes."
"I wanted to save it, but my pockets were empty and I was powerless, so I only saved two kilograms."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. Beef was so hard to come by, and today happened to be Chinese New Year's Eve, so everyone got their salary in advance.
"Captain Song, are you still selling it? I'd also like to be kind and save two kilograms."
"Me too, I also want to save Liang Jin so that it can accompany me during the New Year."
Xiao Yuehua hurried over and asked, "Is the tongue still there? I want to save it. I heard that it helps pregnant women to increase their milk production if they eat it."
Song Jingzhou clicked his tongue.
"You think this is something you can buy on the street? It was snatched away right after it was cut open. How can you still get your turn?"
"Those who heard the news and gathered around were all regular customers. Ordinary people couldn't even get into the slaughtering site, so they didn't sell it publicly."
"I was lucky, I just happened to come across it."
Su Qingci looked at Xiao Yuehua speechlessly, "You still have six months before giving birth, how can you produce milk? Besides, with your physique and appetite, you don't have to worry about this at all."
"That's right, hurry up and work. It's great to have a meal. You still want to eat every day."
"You really think you're a wealthy man!"
After talking, Song Jingzhou pulled Su Qingci to sit next to the brazier to warm themselves by the fire.
"Why did you come here by yourself? Didn't we agree that I would pick you up when we were almost here?"
As he spoke, he looked up at the busy team members and lowered his voice to Su Qingci.
"I know you like beef, so I bought a lot and kept it at home. I also got the beef tongue that Xiao Yuehua wanted."
"I'll make you braised beef tongue and beef brisket stewed with radish tonight."
Su Qingci's eyes lit up, "I want stir-fried celery with lots of chili peppers."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
The two smiled at each other, the atmosphere was sweet, and pink bubbles filled the air.
A huge head popped in from the side, "Can't you really give me the cow tongue?"
Song Jingzhou's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he pressed his big palm down on the big head.
"Eat, eat, eat! You're still eating! Don't you even look at your body? Feng Jianjun is risking his life sleeping in the same bed with you. You could crush him to death if you turn over."
"You are stronger than the cow we slaughtered today, eat eat eat~"
"I'll make you so greedy~"
Xiao Yuehua looked at the two angry people and smiled awkwardly, "I'm just asking."
"I didn't say to eat it now. I can dry it and cure it. What if I have no milk after giving birth? It will be hard to find cow tongue then."
Su Qingci glared at him, "Have some shame? Look at my small body, I'm almost malnourished, and you still have the nerve to snatch food from me?"
"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Why are you being so harsh..."
Xiao Yuehua faced the death stares from the two men and ran back to cook in shame.
After everyone’s efforts, a table of dishes was finally prepared at almost one o’clock.
Braised fish, spinach and egg soup, pig's feet stewed with soybeans, mapo tofu, stir-fried winter bamboo shoots...
Xiao Yuehua once again used her excellent craftsmanship to win everyone's praise.
Even Feng Jianjun's face grew longer, and his eyes looking at Xiao Yuehua became much softer.
"We have things to do this afternoon, and it's New Year's Eve tonight, so we won't be drinking."
"We are drinking tea instead of wine, wishing our security point smooth operation and wishing everyone a happy family and good health."
"I also wish you a better and better life in the future."
Wang Guoqing joked to Song Jingzhou, "Okay, I also hope to drink in the wedding wine of the two captains soon."
Wang Dachui nudged Feng Jianjun with his wrist and said, "You two will have a big fat boy next year."
Xiao Yuehua was very happy, "Hahaha, thank you."
Everyone took a symbolic sip from their teacups and then started eating.
Liu Siqing quickly picked up a large piece of pig's trotter for himself and ate it while talking.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that my sister is going out tomorrow, so I need to take a leave. You are all welcome to come and have a wedding banquet."
"This is a big happy event, we must go and join in the fun."
Su Qingci knew that Liu Lanfang was Song Jingzhou's cousin, so she had to give her some face.
He waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow is not a market day anyway. I will say hello to Brother Xiao later and we can all join in the fun."
"Let's come back quickly after eating. It won't take much time."
"Yes, if you want to keep someone here, I'll ask my cousin to come over. He's been hanging around town all day since school is on vacation."
The cousin Wang Guoqing was talking about was Xiao Lian’s eldest son Xiao Qi.
During this period, I often hung out with the security team members, and we all became familiar with each other.
"Okay, let's do it."
"By the way, Dahammer, you're almost there too, right? When will we have your wedding banquet?"
Wang Dachui smiled and said, "I don't know either. I'll follow my family's arrangements."
"Whenever the elders say it will be, it will be. However, I heard my mother and aunt mention it, and I estimate we have to wait another year."
"Siqing, what about you?"
"Your sister is out, it's your turn."
"I'm not in a hurry. Let's wait for two years~"
"National Day, what about you?"
"I don't have a partner yet!"
Xiao Yuehua's eyes lit up, "Guoqing, you still don't have a boyfriend?"
"Let me introduce you to someone!"
Wang Guoqing instantly became interested, "Is that true? If it's going to work out, you'll be a must-have for the matchmaker gift."
"It's true, my sister is 19 this year, and she's pretty solid, with a big face and a big butt. The elders in the village all say that judging by her figure, she's guaranteed to have two sons in three years."
Wang Guoqing's chopsticks froze as he picked up the food.
He looked past Xiao Yuehua and asked Su Qingci, "Strong?"
Su Qingci nodded, "Yes, strong, and cut from the same mold as Xiao Yuehua, both in appearance and figure."
"It can definitely improve your skinny genes. I think it suits you quite well."
Wang Guoqing's hand trembled, and he turned to look at Xiao Yuehua strangely.
Xiao Yuehua was gnawing on a big bone and gave him a shy smile.
Wang Guoqing was so frightened that he shivered and the beef on his chopsticks fell off.
"I don't think I'm in a rush. I won't be as happy as I am now after getting married. I'm only 20, so I'll have fun for two years first."
Su Qingci suppressed a laugh, "Xiao Huahua, didn't you and Juxiang go well with Meng Changxiu last time?"
"Puff~"
"Cough cough cough~"
Feng Jianjun choked on a mouthful of spicy beef that went directly into his trachea.
"Hey, why are you so careless?"
"Did you choke? Come and drink some water."
Xiao Yuehua's big slaps slammed on Feng Jianjun's back.
Feng Jianjun took a big sip of tea and finally stopped coughing.
He looked up at Xiao Yuehua, his eyes showing unconcealed excitement.
"Yuehua, why do you have such good taste?"
"That's what I was thinking."
"I think Meng Changxiu is great too. He's a perfect match for Juxiang. It's a perfect match!"
