Today's meal is very rich.
There are fried bamboo shoots with bacon, shredded pork with pickled vegetables, egg dumplings with sweet potato vermicelli, dried rabbit meat with chili peppers, and a seasonal dish.
Each dish was generous in portion.
While eating, Chen Ji gave a thumbs-up to praise Old Lady Xu: "Grandma, your cooking skills are really good, comparable to those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants."
Old Mrs. Xu was so coaxed that she smiled brightly: "If you like it, eat more. Come over during the holidays and I'll make delicious food for you."
Chen Ji smiled: "Okay——"
Li Chengye was even more shameless. He ordered directly: "Grandma, this air-dried rabbit meat is delicious. I want to eat this. I also want to eat stir-fried pork with chili peppers. Can you make these two next time?"
Old Mrs. Xu smiled dotingly: "Okay, okay, it's up to you."
After saying that, she looked at Liu Yi again: "What about you? What kind of food do you like to eat?"
Liu Yi wasn't as open-minded as the other two: "I eat everything."
Little Star was lying on the cart. Seeing everyone’s mouths full of oil, he started smacking his lips.
Xu Jiajia noticed Little Star's little action and deliberately picked up a piece of meat and placed it in front of Little Star: "Little Star, do you want to eat it?"
Little Star's smacking sound became even louder, and her saliva flowed all over the floor: "Aiya aiya..."
Eat, give it to me, I want to eat.
Xu Jiajia was amused by Xiao Xingxing's greedy look. She put the piece of meat in the bowl again and said, "Xiao Xingxing, you are still young. You can't eat this now. You can eat it when you are older."
Little Star realized later that he had been tricked. He opened his little mouth, squeezed his eyes hard, and burst into tears.
He cried so sadly, his eyes were red, like a little white rabbit that had been wronged.
Old Mrs. Xu glanced at Xu Jiajia unhappily: "You knew he was greedy, but you still teased him. Now look, you go and coax him!"
Without waiting for Xu Jiajia to speak, Shen Yuebai immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks: "I'll do it."
He picked up Little Star and patted his back gently: "Little Star, don't cry, mommy is just teasing you. When Little Star grows up a little, I'll ask Grandma to make you something delicious."
When Shen Yuebai coaxed the child, his voice was gentle and his stern face was full of fatherly love, which made Chen Ji and the other two stunned. Oh my god, is this still the coach known as the King of Hell?
Little Xingxing was easy to coax. In no time, Shen Yuebai coaxed her into giggling: "Ya ya ya ya..."
Xu Jiajia, who has a bad taste, said: "Little guy, your tears haven't dried yet, but you're already laughing. Don't you want to eat delicious food?"
Little Xingxing seemed to understand. He pouted and wanted to cry again. Old Mrs. Xu patted Xu Jiajia and said, "Go away. Don't get in the way."
Old Mrs. Xu’s actions amused Little Xingxing, who started giggling again in an instant. She clenched her two little fists, shook them in the air, and babbled non-stop.
Among the three people, Liu Yi was the oldest. Seeing this warm and lively scene, he also had the idea of getting married: "Grandma Xu, do you have a suitable female comrade? I want to find a partner."
Old Lady Xu knew Liu Yi's age. Twenty-six was indeed not young, but this kid had just joined the army and hadn't achieved much yet. Those who had some ambitions basically looked down on him: "Why don't you wait a little longer!"
Liu Yi also knew that it was awkward to find a partner at this time. If someone was good, they wouldn't like him. If someone was bad, he wouldn't like them either. "Good..."
Chen Ji looked at Liu Yi slyly: "Are you thinking about women? Tsk, spring is a good time for horny."
Li Chengye resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "It's summer now, not spring."
Liu Yi felt embarrassed by what Chen Ji said. His dark face didn't blush, but he didn't dare look at anyone.
…
Five days later at noon.
Matchmaker Li appeared at the train station.
She was carrying a mat and quilt on her back, holding a woven bag in both hands, and a net bag on her right side that held an enamel washbasin with several patches on it. She also had a net bag full of things tied to her left side.
She had a dustpan covering her head, but because it was too big, she tied it up with a rope to prevent it from falling.
"Make way, make way. If you bump into someone, don't blame me for not warning you."
When Li the matchmaker first arrived in a big city like Suzhou, she was actually very nervous, but she not only did not dare to show it, she also pretended to be very powerful and arrogant.
Otherwise, she was afraid that others would bully her.
Xu Jiajia stood at the ticket gate and looked around. There were so many people that it was not easy to find someone.
Just as I was about to go to the broadcasting station, I heard a familiar voice.
She paused and looked at the crowd.
I saw the conspicuous bag at a glance.
Appearing in such an outfit is absolutely unprecedented and will never be repeated.
Xu Jiajia waved to Matchmaker Li: "Aunt Li, here, here..."
Matchmaker Li looked over here, her eyes instantly lighting up: "Jia Jia, have you been waiting long? I came out as soon as I got off the train, without wasting a minute."
"We just arrived." Xu Jiajia made way to let the people inside go first.
Squeezing out of the crowd, Matchmaker Li breathed a sigh of relief. She put the woven bag on the ground and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "I'm sweating now. Jiajia, is the family compound you live in far from the train station?"
Xu Jiajia helped her carry the woven bag: "It's not far, about an hour. Should we take a break before walking, or should we leave now?"
"No need to rest, let's go now." Matchmaker Li snatched the woven bag from Xu Jiajia's hand and said, "Your hands are used for writing, not for lifting this."
Xu Jiajia: “…”
Who said that the hand that writes cannot hold a woven bag?
However, thinking that the car was just outside, Xu Jiajia did not argue with her.
Xu Jiajia was driving a jeep borrowed by Shen Yuebai.
She studied for a few days and made sure there was no problem before letting Shen Yuebai borrow the car.
Matchmaker Li stared at the jeep in front of her in amazement, her heart trembling.
Oh my god, she has made it big. She actually jumped over the two-wheeled bicycle and sat astride the four-wheeled iron box.
Ouch.
This is enough for her to brag about for the rest of her life!
Matchmaker Li put the woven bag on the ground, walked over, and carefully touched the car. Her voice trembled, "Jia Jia, is this a car that ordinary people like us can ride in? Will it break down?"
If such an expensive thing is damaged while sitting on it, I can't afford the compensation even if I sell it.
Xu Jiajia was amused by Matchmaker Li's words: "Aren't cars meant for sitting?
Besides, this isn't made of paper, it won't break easily!"
Xu Jiajia opened the trunk and asked Li the matchmaker to put the net bags, woven bags and other things on her body into it.
Put your things away.
Xu Jiajia opened the car door again and let Li the matchmaker get in.
Sitting in the car.
Matchmaker Li felt as if she was floating in the air.
This point.
It was just when the factory was closing.
The workers came out of the factory wearing the work clothes issued by the factory.
Everyone was talking and laughing.
Those who live far away from home can ride their bicycles away in a leisurely manner.
The endless stream of bicycles coming and going on the street dazzled Matchmaker Li: "Jia Jia, this big city is really different. There are so many bicycles, it's like they're free."
Xu Jiajia smiled: "Compared to my hometown, it is indeed much better."
When the car passed the Public Security Bureau.
A figure suddenly rushed out and blocked the jeep.
Xu Jiajia's face changed drastically and she stepped on the brakes to the floor.
