Chapter 199 Just listen to your wife
The neighbors all smelled the aroma of the meat, and the children in the houses began to cry and ask for meat.
"Where the hell am I going to steal meat for you! You look like meat to me!"
"Go back quietly! I think you are just being naughty and want to be beaten!"
“…”
Chen Yi continued to chop the meat while smiling, and then made four-happiness meatballs.
Today is Chinese New Year. Ordinary people don’t get to eat so much meat during the Chinese New Year.
After the meal was ready, He Mingcheng came back.
The two of them sat on chairs, eating and chatting, talking about interesting things that happened in their daily lives.
There are only two of us at home, and it would be too lonely if we didn't find something to talk about.
After finishing the meal, Chen Yi looked at the large bowl of meat and said, "Send some over there? We can't finish so much."
He Mingcheng frowned when he heard that. He didn't want to go, so it would be a waste of time for them.
But since his wife mentioned it, he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's go together." He got up to pack his things, then pushed the car out.
Chen Yi didn't notice his expression. The reason she brought it up was because they were He Mingcheng's parents.
What if they are too embarrassed to say it? So she tentatively mentioned it.
You see, since she agreed, she just went with you.
Besides, she only took three pounds of pork belly, so she didn't need that little bit.
Maintain your relationship with your husband's family, so that when you need them in the future, no one will say anything: "You can pay them when you need them."
Two people rode a bicycle with a small basket hanging on the front handlebar. Chen Yi sat in the back, and the seat was specially padded.
When I arrived at the place and knocked on the door, it was Zhang Ying who opened it.
"Why are you here? Have you eaten?" She asked someone to come in as the table was being cleared.
He Jianlin sat on the sofa reading a newspaper, then glanced at them.
"I've finished eating. I came to bring you something. I'll leave now." He Mingcheng put down the basket in his hand.
Hearing this, Zhang Ying curiously opened the basket and took a look. After seeing the things, he said in surprise, "Where did this come from? The five-colored and three-layered ones are so well-proportioned."
This pig is lean and very meaty, and even the pork belly is not very fat.
"I bought it." He Mingcheng said calmly, "We'll leave first. We have to go to work tomorrow."
It was obvious that he didn't want to be here.
When he heard that he was leaving, He Jianlin stood up and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Come and sit for a while."
He was still pretending, but he didn't expect that this person was about to leave, and he didn't even come over to say hello!
He Mingcheng glanced at Chen Yi and saw that she looked confused, so he took everyone over to sit down.
In fact, Chen Yi was not unaware that their relationship was not good, but she just didn't interfere in He Mingcheng's affairs.
They were her biological parents, and they wouldn't remember their mistakes for the rest of their lives. So she wouldn't be like He Mingcheng and treat them coldly.
He Mingcheng can do whatever he wants, but Chen Yi must be polite. This is also a way to avoid being criticized, at least no one will say that she is disrespectful.
If He Mingcheng had any affection for He Jianlin and his wife, her actions would be hurtful.
After the two sat down, He Jianlin asked, "How's your work going? Are you used to it?"
Originally, he did not agree with He Mingcheng changing jobs, but his son was already so old, and even if he wanted to control him, he couldn't do anything about it.
Hearing this, He Mingcheng nodded, "I'm used to it."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Yi suddenly remembered that she seemed to not know He Mingcheng's job yet.
She hadn't asked in detail before, and no one mentioned it.
But this time she knew that He Mingcheng was working as a driver for the factory director in the office.
This really does not require business trips. Just take the factory manager to a meeting somewhere every day, and pick him up and drop him off at get off work.
Although the salary is not as high as before, it is much easier. As long as the factory manager does not need him to go on a business trip, he can just stay on call at the factory at any time.
Originally he wanted to work as a clerk, but after looking around, He Mingcheng chose the career of driver.
I guess it's because of this expertise that he got into this line of work.
He Jianlin didn't quite understand why He Mingcheng switched to driving there. If it was really because he could take care of his family, he couldn't say anything.
He did feel bad that day, but when he came back and thought about it, he understood. Chen Yi was alone at home and now she was pregnant and still had to go to work.
If there is no one at home on the day of birth, it would be very dangerous.
They sat and chatted for a while and then left. It was getting late and everyone had to go to work tomorrow.
After seeing the two off, Zhang Ying closed the door, sat on the sofa and said, "I don't think there's any benefit in driving for the factory director. Isn't it just a handyman? There's no point in getting along with the factory director."
She felt that even if she had a good relationship with the factory director, he would not promote He Mingcheng.
We are all drivers now, what can we get promoted to?
Hearing this, He Jianlin frowned and said, "Just stop talking. They can do whatever they want. Why bother with so much?"
"What do I care? Look what I said just now." Zhang Ying rolled his eyes unhappily, still feeling quite dissatisfied.
If you really have a bright future, why do you still want to drive for the factory director? It's so good to be on business trips in the fleet, but you don't earn any extra money.
She didn't know what He Mingcheng was thinking, so she just listened to her wife.
He Jianlin was too lazy to argue with her. Female comrades are just short-sighted. What do they know?
The next morning, Chen Yi went to the kitchen and saw that the meat had been smoked and dried.
This time she can eat bacon, but to be honest, she doesn't like eating this kind of meat.
But there was no way. She took a pig, and she couldn't put it all into the space, right?
Now there is nothing else to do except smoke the bacon.
Carrying her bag and going to work, she first went to the purchasing department to find Ma Li and gave her a piece of bacon.
The meat was wrapped in newspaper, and there was only one pound in total. It was too obvious that they gave too much.
"That won't do." Ma Li saw a piece of meat and quickly postponed it.
Hearing this, Chen Yi smiled and said, "Sister Li, not only you have a share, Fang Xiaoli also has one."
She brought some for both of them, so there was enough to share.
Hearing this, Ma Li hesitated for a moment, then accepted it. Never mind, she owed Chen Yi a lot of favors anyway, so it didn't matter how much it was.
"Okay then. I'll shamelessly accept it." She wrapped the meat carefully and went back to put it on the table.
Chen Yi turned around and went to deliver meat to Fang Xiaoli, also one pound of meat. There was no other way. It would not be good to deliver too much. One pound was just to try something new.
If I were to stir-fry, I could cook two or three dishes. No one complained, but most people felt embarrassed.
After all, meat is hard to buy now, and people are reluctant to spend money on expensive meat, so most people choose not to eat it.
With the money to buy meat, they can buy ten kilograms of coarse grains. Compared to eating meat, they would rather fill their stomachs first.
If you eat one less piece of meat, you won't die from craving for food, but if you skip a meal, you will be very hungry.
