"Let's lock them up at the brigade headquarters first. We've already prepared dinner at home. Everyone, go have a hot meal before returning to town!"
Jiang Yanzhi never mentioned these prisoners and stood far away from the two men.
"Thank you for your kindness, comrade. However, we cannot take a single needle or thread from the common people. You don't need to ask for food, just give us some hot water to drink!"
When the captain saw Jiang Yanzhi coming to invite him, although he was starving, he still refused the other party's kindness.
"Captain, don't refuse. Bring the brothers to my place for a bite. It's not anything special, but the porridge will fill you up!"
"Since my son has spoken, the meal must be ready. If you don't eat, how long will it take us to finish the amount for more than ten people?"
Jiang Xian took a look at his son and knew that the meal had been arranged and he had to invite him back.
"Then we'll give you money and tickets. Village Chief Jiang can't refuse!"
The captain thought that the meal was already prepared, and it would be bad not to go, as it would seem like they were not united with the people.
At worst, you can just give the money for the meal, so it won’t be considered taking advantage of the people.
"No rejection, no rejection!"
"Let's go ahead and take the man to the brigade headquarters."
"There's a detention room over there. Just lock the person in there and lock the door so they can't escape!"
Although that was the case, the captain still assigned a group of people to guard the confinement room.
Wait until the people in front have finished eating before they can eat.
When Jiang Xian brought everyone back home, the meal was almost ready. Seeing them come back, Tang Xinyi put the soaked vermicelli into the stew.
"The table is already set. Dad, please take your comrades to eat first!"
Tang Xinyi brought out a large bowl of steamed buns, each one bigger than a person's face.
Then they were given cornmeal and sweet potato porridge in large bowls. The comrades were also hungry, but since the host hadn't said anything yet, they all sat up straight.
It was not until Tang Xinyi brought a large bowl of food to the table that the village chief invited the team leader and others to eat.
"There's still half a bowl of food in the pot. Comrades, feel free to eat!"
Tang Xinyi gave her father-in-law some instructions and left the main room to continue working in the kitchen.
"I didn't expect Captain Jiang's family to have such delicious food. It really puts us to shame!"
"Then I won't be polite. Comrades, hurry up and eat. After you're done, go and have your turn with the other brothers!"
The captain was really hungry. He saw the big steamed buns made of three-grain flour and smelled the fragrance of the food.
There were only two words left in his mind at this moment, and that was 'eat'!
All the young men sat upright until they heard their captain speak, then they took the steamed bun, broke it in half, and started eating it with corn grits and sweet potato porridge.
"Comrades, don't just eat the porridge. These dishes are prepared for you. If you can't finish them, we won't be able to digest so much leftovers!"
The village chief also sat at the same table with them to eat. Seeing that everyone was just eating steamed buns and porridge, he hurriedly greeted them.
"Eat it all. I'll leave enough money for you later, so it won't count as taking money from the common people!"
Seeing that none of his brothers reached out to pick up the food, the captain said something, then he took the lead in reaching out for his chopsticks and stuffed a big bite into his mouth.
"Village Chief Jiang, your family's cooking skills are really good, even better than the chefs in state-owned restaurants!"
Just this one bite was enough to convince the captain.
This tastes much better than what my wife makes.
"Hahaha, this dish must have been cooked by my daughter-in-law!"
"I don't know if you've heard of my daughter-in-law. She works as an executive in the supply and marketing cooperative and occasionally helps out at other factories!"
"The food factory just released a few snacks. It was my daughter-in-law who came up with the idea!"
When it comes to cooking skills, Jiang Xian has something to say.
This daughter-in-law of theirs really brings honor to the Jiang family. She is a good cook, has strong abilities, and is doing well in the supply and marketing cooperative. No one in the entire Hongqi Commune has not heard of his daughter-in-law's name.
"Are you talking about Secretary Xiao Tang?"
"If so, then we have heard of it!"
"Secretary Tang is a well-known figure in our Red Flag Commune. Even our director occasionally mentions him!"
It was not until this moment that the captain realized that the daughter-in-law of Village Chief Jiang was the much-talked-about Secretary Tang of the Red Flag Commune.
I heard that Secretary Wang has been thinking about poaching Mr. Tang from the supply and marketing cooperative to the town government.
Unfortunately, the girl has set her sights on the supply and marketing cooperative and is unwilling to move.
Director Li also had the means to win over this talented person.
Hongqi Commune made a big appearance at this year's Four Seas Exchange Conference.
Last month’s welfare benefit included instant noodles from the food factory, and the taste was truly addictive.
Especially for those who often go on missions, they can bring a few packets of instant noodles and chicken feet and sausages. Even if they are in the wild, as long as there is hot water, they can just rinse the noodles in the bag and have something hot to eat.
It’s a pity that bucket instant noodles are not convenient to carry, after all, they take up too much space. Otherwise, buckets would be much more convenient than bags.
Because of Tang Xinyi's words, the captain and the others started talking more and had a lot of conversations with the village chief.
After finishing their meal, the other young comrades would consciously take over the shifts of other brothers so that they could also have a hot meal.
Only after everyone had eaten their fill did the captain leave some money and take his men back to town with the two bad guys and the man who had been killed.
After everyone had left, Tang Xinyi and Zheng Xiulian went into the main room to start cleaning up the dishes.
"Dad, I heard that two people died this time. Is that true?"
While cleaning up the dishes, Tang Xinyi asked curiously.
"It's true. We caught two in total, two died, and a few escaped!"
"You two stop busying yourself and hurry up to clean up and eat. I have to go to the brigade headquarters!"
"We'll have a meeting with all the villagers later. We must be vigilant and not let any criminals take advantage of us!"
Jiang Xian didn't feel happy about catching two people. After all, several of the other party had escaped. It would be troublesome if they found their way into their village.
When Tang Xinyi saw her father-in-law raising his leg to walk out, she couldn't help but think of the dream she had earlier in the night.
"dad!"
I was thinking about something and subconsciously called out to the person.
"Daughter-in-law, what else do you want?"
Jiang Xian had just put on the clothes hanging at the door when he heard Tang Xinyi's call.
"It's okay, I just thought about the nightmare I had last night and I felt a little panicked!"
Tang Xinyi thought about it and felt that dreams were nonsense. How could they be related to reality?
"You had a nightmare, what did you dream about? Let me hear it!"
Different from Tang Xinyi's idea, Jiang Xian felt that his daughter-in-law had been told by an old witch that her soul was unstable.
Although I don’t know whether things have stabilized during this period, the dreams of people like my daughter-in-law cannot be compared with those of ordinary people.
