"Or... I'd better go back and eat! Jianguo, you and your friends, all come to my house to eat!"
Li Fuman felt embarrassed to eat at Zhao Zhongxing's house. Several grown men would spend a lot on a meal.
"Old Li, what are you talking about? Hu Tou is my nephew, and Comrade Lu came with a letter of introduction. You are a backbone member of our production team. What's the big deal about having a meal? Besides, the meal is ready, so there is no reason not to eat. Hurry up and go to the cafeteria to eat!" Zhao Zhongxing said loudly.
After he said that, Li Fuman couldn't refuse.
The four grown men walked towards the backyard and happened to meet Ying Chunhua coming out of the kitchen.
"You're back just in time! The meal is ready!" Ying Chunhua said to them, then looked behind Li Fuman and asked, "Where are the eldest, third, and fourth brothers?"
Zhao Zhongxing's three sons were all working in the production team, so they should have come back together.
"I'll ask them to stay in the warehouse for a while. I'll bring them food after we finish eating!"
Zhao Zhongxing's three sons were all young. Zhao Zhongxing was afraid that they would hear something they shouldn't hear at the dinner table and couldn't control their mouths, so he simply let the three children stay in the warehouse and not come back.
"Uncle, you'd better let them come back. We are all family. This kind of thing is not allowed!" Zhao Mingcheng said from the side.
Lu Jianguo also said that there were no secrets.
But Zhao Zhongxing still insisted, "They won't starve to death if they skip a meal. Besides, it's not that they can't eat, they just have to wait until we finish eating before they can eat!"
Since Zhao Zhongxing insisted on doing so, no one else could say anything.
Ying Chunhua prepared a sumptuous meal because of the arrival of Lu Jianguo and Zhao Mingcheng.
A cucumber, a leek and egg, a little bit of bacon and eggplant fried with wine lees that had been saved for half a year, a sweet potato for each person, and a bowl of corn and coarse grain porridge.
Zhao Zhongxing is the team leader, and his life is better than others.
The little bit of food they took out was all good stuff that other people in the production team could only eat during the New Year.
"Hutou, Comrade Lu, these are home-cooked dishes. They're not as good as those in the city. Just make do with them! Old Li, you too, don't be so polite. We're already here."
Everyone stopped being polite and found a place to sit down.
At the dinner table, Li Fuman blushed and asked Lu Jianguo and Lu Hechuan about their lives over the years.
Li Fuman's own life is too monotonous.
After his father died, he returned to Li Village to attend the funeral. After that, he experienced a long period of chaos. The only thing he was thankful for was that he got married, had children, and his children had grandchildren.
But he felt that Lu Hechuan's life was definitely not monotonous.
Lu Jianguo did not elaborate on his grandfather's life, but said that he had been active in the Jiangbei area and had done many great things.
He was a national entrepreneur and contributed a lot of supplies during the war, so he was considered a hero in the eyes of many people.
After hearing this, Li Fuman felt gratified for Lu Hechuan's wonderful life. What he failed to do was finally accomplished by someone else.
"By the way, Jianguo, didn't your grandfather tell you to pick a partner from among Grandpa Li's granddaughters?"
While eating, Zhao Mingcheng suddenly said something.
This time, not only Li Fuman was stunned, but even Lu Jianguo looked a little unnatural.
After saying this, Zhao Mingcheng regretted it.
He remembered that Lu Jianguo had a girl who was delivering cloth but had not given it away.
If we really do what Mr. Lu said, wouldn't we be breaking up a pair of mandarin ducks?
