Chapter 167 Solving the Problem of Separating Duck Legs
After coaxing for a long time, Yueyue and Chaochao were finally coaxed out of Jiang Tang's arms. The four of them sat in the yard of Zhao Xiumei's house.
"Mom, will the bad guys come again?"
"The bad guys won't come. They've all been captured by the PLA soldiers and locked up. They'll never get out."
"Mom, will you disappear again?"
"I won't disappear, because Yueyue and Chaozhao are my favorites. I can't bear to leave you."
"Mom, candied haws are delicious, you should try some too—"
When Yueyue said that "Tanghulu" was delicious, it meant that the little girl's mood finally calmed down and she gradually began to forget her fear, but she was still a little attached to Jiang Tang.
Later, Jiang Tang walked into the kitchen to help Zhao Xiumei cook dinner. Yueyue took a small stool and sat at the kitchen door. She licked the candied haws a few times, looked at Jiang Tang, licked it a few more times, and looked at him again.
It was as if Jiang Tang had magic and could really disappear.
Jiang Tang said, "Sister Zhao, I'll help you."
They have to prepare meals for eight or nine people in the evening, which is really not easy.
Zhao Xiumei was not willing to let Jiang Tang help. "You are a guest, how can I ask you to cook? Well... just pick some beans."
Jiang Tang picked up the bamboo basket beside him and carefully picked the beans to remove the tendons.
Zhao Xiumei glanced at the child outside and asked Jiang Tang in a low voice, "Little Jiang, did the inspection team give you any trouble?"
"No. I was just there to cooperate with the investigation. I'm not a criminal, so they won't give me any trouble. Captain Zhang is a reasonable man."
"That's good. When I saw you leave with them, my heart was... thump, thump... like a machine gun. I'm glad you're okay now... Those two girls from the art troupe looked pretty and even went to college, but how could they be so mean! So mean! I didn't give them a slap back then, and I was lucky for them."
Zhao Xiumei was chopping a duck with a kitchen knife in her hand.
The kitchen knife fell heavily on the chopping board, splitting the duck neck in two.
Jiang Tang was stunned as he watched. "They have done something bad, and there is solid evidence. The organization will definitely teach them a lesson. We don't need to worry about it."
"That's what she said...but..." Zhao Xiumei glanced outside worriedly and continued in a low voice, "When Ye Yunshu was finally captured, she called out Xie Yanshan...I didn't remember who she was at the time, but then I finally remembered it was Captain Xie. Is Ye Yunshu really Captain Xie's sister? They don't even have the same last name."
Jiang Tang said, "They are brother and sister, adopted by the same grandfather."
"They really are brother and sister. Will Captain Xie save his sister?" Zhao Xiumei looked at Jiang Tang uneasily, and the kitchen knife in her hand stopped.
Jiang Tang shook his head, "I don't know either. But don't worry, Ye Yunshu can find Xie Yanshan, I have my old master."
Zhao Xiumei was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. "Haha, you're right... We don't have to worry about this with Captain Fu here. Captain Fu is well-known for loving his wife, and he will definitely not let you suffer any grievances."
Boom boom boom!
After a conversation, the sound of chopping duck with a kitchen knife continued in the kitchen.
That night, Zhao Xiumei's house was very lively. There were five people in her family, two adults and three children, and there were four people in Jiang Tang's family. Lei Xiaobing refused to go home no matter what. When Yang Suzhen came back from get off work to look for the children, Zhao Xiumei simply asked Yang Suzhen to stay for dinner.
"Director Yang, you're off work so late, and it's too troublesome to go back home to cook. Why don't you stay and eat with us? Captain Fu brought the pork and duck, and I just fried some potatoes and cabbage vermicelli. There's definitely more than enough food, and it's more fun with more people. The soldiers like our family, so come sit down and eat with us."
So there were two more people at the dinner table that day, and together with adults and children, there were eleven people in total.
There were not enough chairs and stools in Zhao Xiumei's house, so Daya had to borrow them from the neighbor next door.
The house couldn't accommodate so many people, so they moved the tables to the yard. With more people and children, it became so lively.
Not only is the yard lively, but it is also lively outside the yard.
The neighbors heard their laughter and came over one by one to watch the fun. Seeing Jiang Tang return safely, they couldn't help but say a few words.
Some sisters-in-law were even more direct. They simply shared some dishes from their own homes and gave them to the children to add to the dishes. Seeing the bad guys being caught and the good guys being cleared of all charges, they had to celebrate properly.
A duck weighing about ten pounds was stewed in an iron pot. Zhao Xiumei's Northeastern cooking skills are unique and the taste is amazing.
But there are only two duck legs for a duck, and everyone pushed them back and forth, and it was almost passed around, and no one was willing to eat it.
Jiang Tang simply removed the meat from the two duck legs, and then tore the meat into strands of shredded meat. The two duck legs became a pot of shredded meat, and then poured a circle of sauce stewed in an iron pot on it. It was so delicious.
She put the shredded meat in front of the children and let them eat it themselves, successfully solving the problem of dividing the duck legs.
Zhao Xiumei was amazed. "Why didn't I think of that? Why didn't I think of that? My three daughters used to argue with me over two chicken legs, saying I liked one and didn't like the other. It really annoyed me... They're all flesh that fell from my body, and I love them all the same. If they were all shredded, there wouldn't be such a problem."
Jiang Tang smiled and said, "If you don't want the chicken legs, you can also grab the chicken wings."
The chicken wings cannot be separated into shredded meat.
This is what happens when there are many children in the family. Children like to monopolize their parents' attention.
Zhao Xiumei didn't worry about the chicken wings. She snorted and said, "The chicken legs were eaten by the little ones. The chicken wings should be eaten by me anyway. That's why I won't share them."
These words made everyone at the dinner table laugh.
“Hahahaha…hahahaha…”
"Our lives will get better and better. We can eat as much chicken wings and duck legs as we want."
"Exactly, I want to eat pork every meal in the future!"
After a lively dinner, Chaochao and Yueyue were tired from playing and felt sleepy. Especially today, the two kids' moods had been up and down. At the end of the meal, when Lei Xiaobing was still jumping around, Chaochao and Yueyue started rubbing their eyes, and it was obvious that they were sleepy.
Fu Sinian picked up both babies at once, one on each side. He was very strong, so it was not difficult for him to hold the two babies.
Chaochao and Yueyue leaned on Fu Sinian's shoulders, closed their eyes in a daze, and fell asleep.
Lei Xiaobing wanted to move forward, but Yang Suzhen grabbed him by the back of his collar. "Xiaobing, Chaochao and Yueyue are going home to sleep. Your home is not in that direction. Come back here."
Lei Xiaobing had his fate strangled by the throat and could only helplessly watch Fu Sinian carrying Chaochao and Yueyue away, sighing alone on the spot.
Yang Suzhen didn't care about him. After all, no child would get lost in the compound. Lei Xiaobing was smart and no one could bully him. As for his little emotions, he would immediately become excited when he found the next thing that interested him.
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Tang saw Lei Xiaobing squatting at the foot of the wall pulling weeds for fun, he looked so happy.
As for Yang Suzhen, she kept walking beside Jiang Tang, and it was obvious that she had something to say to her.
