Li Guifang did not disturb Wu Xiaomei's thoughts. Wu Xiaomei could only sort out this mess slowly!
Turn around and go into the kitchen to continue living a slow life!
Fortunately, several people at home are helping, and the dinner to celebrate discharge from the hospital and family reunion is finally about to start.
The eight-immortal table in the main hall was steaming hot, the spare ribs were stewed until they were greasy, and a layer of golden oil floated on the surface of the fish soup.
Li Guifang rushed in with stir-fried beans, her apron stained with grease. "Liu Wei, you're such a busy man, aren't you? The whole family is waiting for you! If you don't come soon, this fish soup will turn into jelly!"
The enamel basin on the Eight Immortals table was filled with braised pork, which was shiny with oil.
Li Guifang brought the last dish of scrambled eggs with chives to the table. Without even taking off her apron, she raised her orange soda: "Here! Let's have the first one to celebrate the four of us getting discharged safely from the hospital!"
"Ding-dang-dang" the sound of glass bottles colliding.
Li Mingyu tilted his head back and gulped down half the bottle, foam dripping down his chin. "The second one is for National Day! They said on TV that Shenzhen is building skyscrapers!"
"Drink slowly!" Li Mingli patted him on the back with a smile, and turned up the volume of the paint-chip radio.
China National Radio was playing "In the Fields of Hope." The song mixed with the smell of firewood wafting from the stove, making the light bulbs warm.
Liu Wei unbuttoned the third button of his police uniform and pointed at Jiang Shan with his chopsticks raised: "If it were you, which piece of land should I toast to with the third glass?"
When the repair shop opens, we'll hang up a neon sign like the city people!" Li Mingjuan twisted his arm.
A few carrots squeezed on the small square stool were fighting for the last piece of omelet.
Li Guifang separated them with a chopstick: "What are you fighting for?"
He turned around and pulled out a tin box from the top of the chest of drawers. "Thump, thump, thump" he poured out three White Rabbit candies. "One for each of us, to celebrate National Day!"
Halfway through the wine tour, a plate of leftover fish jelly was placed on the eight-immortals table. The electric fan was "creaking", but it couldn't blow away the stuffy heat in the room.
Liu Wei sat down, tugging at the collar of his sweaty police uniform, his Adam's apple rolling. "Mom, you didn't see that? Those guys from the west side of the city are smashing the police car with hoes! The tires are all punctured!"
"Ah?" Everyone in the room stopped eating.
Li Mingyu dropped the cucumber from his mouth onto the table with a "crack." "Why?"
"What else could they do?" Liu Wei picked up the enamel pot and took a sip of herbal tea. "We took three mu and two fen of their land for the road construction, and they think the compensation is too little.
Now he's lying in front of the bulldozer, and the construction team doesn't dare to start work!
Wu Xiaomei spat out a fishbone and said, "It's this crap again! Don't you understand that Lutong Caitong doesn't understand?"
Wasn’t it the same thing when our village was building a road last year? In the end, they built it bypassing the village and we didn’t get a penny!
Upon hearing this, Li Guifang suddenly slammed the table and said, "Oh right! Now let's get down to business while everyone's here. Xiaomei, your mom said this morning that we need to get the land certificate processed right away!"
Wu Xiaomei's chopsticks twitched. "What certificate do I need? My father clearly stated in black and white that the land was allocated to me. He even went to the village committee to register it two days ago." Her voice trailed off. "Besides... nowadays, I have to pay money to get a certificate? I might even run myself to death..."
"Bang!" Li Minghua slammed his Beibingyang soda onto the table, shaking the fish jelly. "Do it! We must do it!"
He picked up a piece of fish jelly and said, "Your brother and his gang are now daring to instigate outsiders to cause trouble. If we really build a house over there in the future, will we still be able to keep the shop open?"
Li Guifang stirred the fish soup with her chopsticks, creating a vortex: "It has evidence, and it has enough energy!"
Suddenly, the tip of the chopstick poked into the fish's eye. "This certificate is a talisman! Those people in Wujia Village were so angry that they took sickles to each other for half an acre of land. Do you think they were joking?"
"My classmate works at the Land Bureau. If you need help, you can ask him." Li Mingyuan suddenly said,
It's rare to see such a kind-hearted Li Mingyuan. As soon as he opened his mouth, he scared away the napping hen outside the window!
Liu Wei finished his last bite of rice in silence, his police badge gleaming on his sweaty chest. "Day and night defenses are no match for this badge."
Li Jianghai bit off the fish tail with a snap. "We'll do it tomorrow! I'll take two bottles of malted milk and go meet Accountant Wang—isn't his daughter getting married?"
