In addition to these, they also bought a fish weighing four or five pounds to braise, and there were many other dishes of various sizes. The Su family only had one table for dinner, which could not accommodate so many people, so they specially borrowed two tables from other people's homes.
Su Aimin couldn't help much with cooking, so he was responsible for moving the tables and chairs and setting the table. After finishing these, he thought for a while, went into his room, and took out a can of tea from the cabinet. He brought this back from the provincial capital and had never taken it out before.
He grabbed a handful of tea leaves, covered the jar, and left the room. There was boiled hot water in the thermos. He found a few enamel pots, put some tea leaves in a cup, and brewed it with hot water. The tea Su Aimin bought was not bad. As the hot water was poured, the fresh tea fragrance filled the room.
Zhang Xinlan moved her nose. This smell...
She poked her head out of the kitchen and saw Su Aimin's actions. Her eyes widened in surprise, "Old Third, when did you buy the tea?"
Tea is a good thing nowadays. Generally, only workers and cadres' families can afford it. For ordinary people, it is very good to be able to drink some tea foam.
"It was sent by the fleet." Su Aimin said casually.
Zhang Xinlan looked skeptical. "Are the benefits in your fleet so good? They even give out good things like tea. Besides, Third Brother, aren't you a temporary worker? If temporary workers get tea, what do regular workers get?"
Su Aimin: "..." He only said four words, but his second sister-in-law could talk so much about it. She is really amazing.
"Tea eggs." He said expressionlessly.
"What?" Zhang Xinlan didn't react.
Su Aimin stepped out of the house and said, "I'll go and see, why hasn't anyone come yet?" This second sister-in-law is really nagging.
"Hey, I haven't finished what I was saying yet." Zhang Xinlan curled her lips. "Old Third is such a jerk. He rarely speaks the truth. Who would believe that was sent by their team?"
Li Xiulian glanced at her and said indifferently, "Why do you care where other people's things come from? It's not yours anyway."
Zhang Xinlan choked.
She muttered, "Isn't that just me saying it?" The third brother actually kept such a good thing hidden. How stingy!
Su Aimin walked out of the yard and looked at the road. From a distance, he saw his daughter and the team leader leading a group of people coming towards him. He hurried forward to greet them.
"Oh, Brother Qi, long time no see, really long time no see!" He excitedly stepped forward and shook hands with Qi Chu.
Qi Chu was also very happy and shook hands very vigorously. "Brother Su, it's been a long time since we last met. You didn't come when Qingyun came to the provincial capital last time. What a pity."
"That's because I thought she was old enough and could be independent, so I didn't go with her. I was worried about that."
"Don't worry, Qingyun is such a smart kid, what can happen to him?"
Qi Chu still remembers how Su Qingyun recited the string of numbers on the banknote without changing his expression on the train. At that time, he knew that this kid was really extraordinary. Sure enough, their subsequent encounter confirmed his thoughts.
"That's true." Su Aimin was not modest. He stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, let's go inside."
"good."
A group of people walked into the courtyard in a mighty manner. The courtyard was clean and tidy, with tables and chairs. There was no room in the house, so they put the seats in the courtyard.
Su Aimin quickly asked everyone to sit down. He went into the room, brought out the tea he had brewed, and placed it on the table. "Come on, everyone, have some tea, have some tea."
Su Qingyun smiled as her father took out all the tea leaves.
"Thank you, thank you."
The members of the inspection team sat around the table, and Su Aimin brought out dried fruits such as melon seeds and peanuts.
Qi Chu quickly said, "Alright, alright, Brother Su, you have to move all the things out of the house."
"Everyone, just fill your stomach first, and we'll eat soon."
Qi Chu smiled and said, "I can already smell the fragrance. I'm already hungry."
Deputy team leader Zhang De glanced inside the room and said, "I'm really hungry. Hahahaha, Lao Qi, I made the right decision to follow you."
"Of course." Qi Chu shook his head proudly.
As they were chatting, a few people from the Su family who had been working came back. Seeing so many people in the yard, Wu Guixiang smiled and greeted everyone, "Oh, you are the comrades from the inspection team, right? Welcome, welcome."
Qi Chu quickly stood up and said respectfully, "You must be Aunt Wu, right? I heard Brother Su mention you before."
"Yes, yes, it's me." Wu Guixiang's face was as bright as a flower.
This professor is different, he is so good at talking.
