When they came out after finishing their meal, the slaughterhouse delivered pig liver to them as well.
Two burlap sacks were filled to the brim; business is really good before the New Year.
Li Chu had already paid the money in advance, and he probably still had quite a bit left. Anyway, if the factory manager personally delivered the money, it meant that the money he had given in advance was not enough.
Ding Qiunan asked for two more snakeskin bags from the cookhouse to put in the trunk of the car before finally putting the two bags of pig liver inside.
He could only store so much stuff now that the weather was cold. If it were summer, he wouldn't dare take too much at once, or it would all go bad.
The two returned home before four o'clock in the afternoon. Before leaving, Li Chu was still thinking about going to find Wen Hui and Wen Xuan, but the two of them had already left after lunch.
At six o'clock, at Xu Damao's restaurant, almost everyone who was supposed to come had arrived.
This guy called several people today using Li Chu's name.
"Brother Meng, I didn't expect you to come too."
“Your niece came to see me at noon and said you would be coming. I was thinking that I was planning to see you in the next couple of days, so I came to pick up your sister-in-law.”
"Did you need something?"
"We'll talk about it later. That's your friend too, right? I've seen him staring this way for a while."
"Come on, Meng-ge, let me introduce you to a director of the city's supervisory committee. You never know when you might need his help."
"Chen He, come here, let me introduce you to a friend." Li Chu waved to Chen He.
"No need for introductions, I know you. Hello Director Zhang, my name is Chen He, from the Third Office of the Municipal Supervisory Commission. I met you once at the representative meeting last April."
"Director Chen, hello. May I ask, what is your relationship with Chen Jiang?"
“That’s our eldest son. Director Zhang, you can just call me Chen He from now on.”
"Turns out we're all on the same side! Then I won't stand on ceremony."
"Brother Meng, you know Chen Jiang?"
"We know each other. We were both officially appointed at last year's congress."
Xu Damao has known quite a few people from all walks of life over the years he's run a restaurant.
A dinner party among friends ended up filling about ten tables.
During a break from eating, Li Chu went to the backyard to use the restroom. As soon as he stepped out of the back door of the hall, he saw a figure squatting under the eaves smoking.
The person probably didn't expect anyone to come out from the back door, and was startled when they heard the sound.
"Uncle Li?"
"Hey? Little Ma? What are you doing here?"
Then, by the light reflected from the window, Li Chu recognized the man as He Yuzhu's apprentice.
Xiao Ma gave a bitter smile: "I have no choice, Uncle Li, I have to support my wife and children."
His words startled Li Chu slightly, and then he remembered what Ding Qiunan had said that day.
It seems he's made up his mind to part ways with his master this time.
However, it seems he'll have to bear the stigma of betraying his master and ancestors.
"Da Mao wants you to work here from now on?"
"No, no, I'm just here to help out temporarily. Mr. Xu's arrangement for me is to work on Qianmen Street from now on."
"Work hard and be down-to-earth. You're not young anymore, it's time to think about your family. You've worked here for many years, you should know Da Mao's character, he won't treat you unfairly."
“I know Uncle Li.”
Li Chu patted Xiao Ma on the shoulder twice and then walked towards the bathroom in the yard.
At the restaurant entrance, after watching Liu Dazhuang drive his sister, brother-in-law, and father-in-law away, he picked up the child and prepared to go back inside the restaurant to wait.
"Invincibility Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestral Master"
The little guy was acting like a madman today. Usually, he's fast asleep by nine o'clock at home, but today he was full of energy, turning his head back and forth in Li Chu's arms, occasionally making a few "ooh" sounds as if he was saying something, but unfortunately, no one could understand him.
"Brother Chu"
Just as he reached the entrance, the restaurant door was pushed open from the inside, and Chen He walked out with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Why aren't you going back yet?
"I've been waiting for you. Have you finished making your medicine? I forgot to ask when I saw you this morning."
"It should be ready the day after tomorrow. You can come and pick it up the day after that, either at home or in the office."
"Okay, there's one more thing I'd like to ask."
"you say."
"I have a friend who seems to be having some trouble with his health. Will this medicine help him?"
This is like a pillow delivered to someone who's sleepy! Li Chu thought to himself.
"What's wrong with him? Is he sick? Or injured?"
"I haven't heard of him being injured," Chen He said, shaking his head after thinking for a moment.
"Here's what you'll do: you can give him a few pills to try later. The method of administration is the same, and make sure he records it in detail for me. It's normal if it doesn't work the first time. If it still doesn't work after a day, have him come see me and I'll take a look."
"Okay, that's all I need to hear."
Do you know anyone like that?
“Brother, who would go around talking about such private matters? This guy only knows a little bit because his wife has a good relationship with Liping.”
Well, married women like this are the same everywhere they go; they'll say anything.
"Then you should talk to your wife again and see which of her girlfriends has mentioned this. If you can find another solution that doesn't work, try the same method as before."
"I'll give it a try. Would the 'one, two, three' method work too?"
"You've tried them all, don't you know if they're effective or not?" Li Chu asked, somewhat puzzled.
Chen He seemed to have been insulted and almost jumped up.
"Brother Chu, what do you mean? Are you saying I'll be close too?"
"You know whether it's fast or not. If you're really okay, why would you take medicine? No matter how good this stuff is, it's still medicine."
"Uh..." Chen He was speechless after hearing that sentence.
"Alright, you don't need to explain to me. Just make sure you keep the records. Remember to come and pick up your medicine when the time comes."
Chen He gave a somewhat disgruntled "oh".
When Liu Dazhuang drove back to pick them up, Choubao finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep in Li Chu's arms.
The dogs at home have been acting strangely lately. Every time the kids go out, they paw at them and look around before they come back and go about their business.
That day, Yueyue was playing with her child at Li Qin's place next door. When she came back, the child had fallen asleep, so she didn't hold the child anymore, since she was going to go back later anyway.
As a result, when the dogs discovered that their little owner was missing, they immediately became upset and started whining at Wang Yueyue.
This left Yueyue both amused and exasperated. She took them to Li Qin's place for a look, but that wasn't enough. She had to take them home, otherwise they wouldn't leave. They just squatted by the bed and watched until Yueyue took the baby back home, at which point they finally left together.
After handing the child to Wenxuan, Li Chu and Ding Qiunan prepared to walk towards the backyard.
"Dad, please wait a moment, I need to ask you something."
"Oh? Okay, you can leave the child there first, I'll stay at the pharmacy."
