Chapter 37: Failed to Be Village Chief
"No way? What did he do again?"
Jiang Dongfang put his pipe behind his belt and went to the cabinet to move the wine jar.
Xu Hongping handed him two enamel cups. "Didn't he catch two black chickens for me last time? He said they were for Yingying's health. And today he dug up a lot of winter bamboo shoots and sent some over. You said we're not related, so why would he be so nice to Yingying if he didn't have some ulterior motive?"
Jiang Dongfang disagreed with her. "Isn't Xiao Lu a soldier under the Third Brother? The Third Brother loves Yingying so much, so Xiao Lu must be taking care of Yingying for his sake."
Xu Hongping closed her eyes thoughtfully, then turned around and served the crucian carp soup from the pot. "It's time for dinner. Isn't Yingying back yet? I asked her to call you, and now you're back. Where has this kid gone to play again?"
Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will become angry.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wanying's footsteps were heard from the yard.
Jiang Dongfang came out of the kitchen with two glasses of wine. Seeing her running back, he shouted at the top of his voice, "She's back! Let's eat!"
This was Lu Yanchuan's second time eating at the Jiang family.
Jiang Dongfang was worried that no one would drink with him, so he pulled Lu Yanchuan over and said he wanted to have a good drink. "Little Lu, next time you come, don't bring anything. Just come if you want to eat. Just treat it as your own home, don't be polite!"
It can be seen that Jiang Dongfang really admires Lu Yanchuan.
During this period, the village was repairing the river embankment, and Lu Yanchuan came up with many good ideas. Not only him, but many people in the brigade all praised Lu Yanchuan.
It’s a pity that such talents are not from their village.
Originally, many people inquired about his marriageability, hoping to marry their daughters to him. However, after learning about his family background, many of them became discouraged.
This is a rural area. Although we don't have to pay attention to the issue of being well-matched, the gap is too big, which still makes many people lack the courage to fight for it.
Lu Yanchuan held up the wine glass with both hands, "Thank you, uncle, this is my toast to you."
“Good hahahaha!”
The men were talking about military and national affairs at the dinner table, and only Jiang Wanying was eating seriously. In this era of material scarcity, the meals cooked by her aunt were more delicious than the last, and her cooking skills were truly amazing.
A plate of lard and fried peanuts is the best dish to go with wine.
In addition, there are tiger skin green peppers, a garlic-flavored egg, and a bowl of hot crucian carp and tofu soup. These are the meals that many families only have during the New Year and other festivals.
The lard residue was really delicious, even though it was a calorie bomb. But Jiang Wanying was no longer an actress, and she no longer counted calories when eating.
She licked her lower lip with satisfaction, staring at the last bit of pork lard residue left in the plate. When she was hesitating whether to eat it, a pair of chopsticks picked it up before her.
Finally put it in her bowl.
Jiang Wanying looked up in surprise and met Lu Yanchuan's doting gaze.
But it was only a moment, Lu Yanchuan withdrew his gaze, and was still talking to Jiang Dongfang about some interesting things happening in the military camp.
And the way he just picked up the food was so smooth and easy, as if he was used to it.
