Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, even Chen Ye himself was very satisfied.
She didn't expect that she could make such delicious meals just by following those recipes. It seems that when she has free time in the future, she will study the dishes in the recipes carefully.
Chen Ye was not sure whether he could become a master chef, but if he continued to learn, he thought he might have a chance of becoming a sous chef in a factory canteen.
Chen Ye cleared the table. The food was quite clean. She thought that two grown men would be able to eat a lot, so she specially prepared some extra food. However, she didn't expect that these two men could eat so much. There was not even a drop of soup left.
I don’t know what kind of family can afford to support such a big eater. Fortunately, there is no one in their family who eats so much, otherwise they would be hungry every day.
Thinking about the empty cellar in my grandfather’s house, it probably won’t last until these two people leave. So how long do they plan to live there?
Should she ask her grandfather if she needs help buying some food?
Cui Zheng and Gao Yuan quickly got up to help. They couldn't just come here to eat and not work.
Chen Ye saw two people coming into the kitchen. The kitchen was not very big to begin with, and with two big men coming in, it was almost difficult for him to breathe.
"We don't need you here. We can finish the job quickly with just a few dishes and chopsticks. Go out and chat with my little grandfather."
Cui Zheng glanced at his boss, and Gao Yuan also realized that they were not needed here. Thinking of the firewood drying in the yard, they were not needed here, so it was just right for them to go out and do some heavy work within their ability.
There are old and young people in this family. Since they are here, they can help with the work.
Gao Yuan nodded and walked out of the kitchen first, going straight to the place where firewood was stored in the yard. He picked up the axe on the side and started chopping wood. Although he was a child who grew up in the city, he did a lot of these jobs.
My grandfather came from the countryside and said that the children in their family should not be raised to be weak and helpless, and should never be separated from the masses.
Cui Zheng looked around and found that there was only one axe in the yard. He wanted to help but couldn't. He couldn't just watch his boss working, for fear that his boss would come back to settle the score with him when he returned.
He walked around the yard and found that there was really no work to do. The people in the yard were standing at attention, and the only chicken they had was eaten by them, so there was no need to even sweep the yard.
He suddenly remembered that there was a large water tank in the kitchen. He had just glanced at it and it seemed that there was not much water in it. Why not fill the tank with water?
Chen Shengli did not stop him. At that time, they were the same. When they lived in the homes of ordinary people, they always tried to find work, otherwise they would feel uneasy.
"Will you two live in one room, each of you, or will you two live in one room?" Chen Shengli asked, thinking about the issue of accommodation for the night.
"It's all fine. You can make the arrangements."
In the words of my grandfather, Mr. Chen is his brother who has shared life and death with him, so he shouldn't be too polite when asking him to come over. Sometimes being too polite can make people feel distant and unclose.
"Then each of us can have a room. We have many rooms at home and we don't need to heat the kang during the day." There are enough beddings, and it would be uncomfortable for two grown men to squeeze into one room.
"I'm sorry to bother you in the next few days, please don't dislike me." Gao Yuan said jokingly.
Chen Shengli was happy to see that the child was not being distant with him: "Don't mind, don't mind. I wish our house would be more lively. Can you stay for a few days?"
He might have to find some things to take back to his old friend. They haven't seen each other for so many years, and he doesn't know what happened to the old guy. It sounds good, but being a leader is not that easy.
"There are seven days of vacation in total. Three days are needed for the journey, and four days are available for staying here."
He planned to go into the mountains more often these days to get some firewood. It would be even better if he could get some meat, which would be enough to eat for a long time after being processed.
There are only two people in this family. The old man is not in good health and can't do any heavy work. The monthly allowance is not much, which can only ensure that they can fill their stomachs.
There is also a younger one who is only seven or eight years old. A kid of this age can't really do any work except eating. Looking at his small stature and skinny body, this kid probably isn't in good health either.
The little girl could help with some of the work, but she was so young and so thin that it made people feel sorry for her. Besides, they didn't live together, and considering Grandpa Chen's personality, he probably wouldn't feel comfortable letting a little girl take care of him.
They can come and help with more work, and also make Grandpa Chen's life more relaxed.
Chen Ye cleaned up the dishes and came out to see two guests working in the yard. However, the old man didn't say anything, so she wouldn't say anything either. She had just heard that the two of them would be staying at the old man's house for a few more days.
She hurried to the house to help clean up. Shuanzhu was cleaning up right there: "Sister, there's no need for you. I can do this job myself."
Chen Ye picked up the broom and began to sweep the dust off the kang: "It would be faster if we work together. Do we have enough bedding at home?"
Even if it wasn't enough, she couldn't do anything about it. She didn't buy any cotton and only had one quilt to make do with.
But you can go to Grandpa Luo's place. People come to see him from time to time. If it's late, you can stay overnight before leaving.
Don’t even think about other families. No one has extra bedding now, and several children have to share one quilt.
"Yes, sister, you sweep first, I'll go get the bedding."
"Can you carry it by yourself?"
"able."
There's nothing much to clean up in this room. Just clean up the dirt on the kang and make the bedding.
When Chen Ye came out, Gao Yuan waved to Chen Ye to come over. Chen Ye pointed at her nose and was a little puzzled. Was this the first time she met this person?
But with her little grandfather around, and this man being a soldier, she didn't think he had any bad intentions. "Are you calling me?"
Gao Yuan nodded, stood up and saluted Chen Ye, which scared Chen Ye so much that he dodged to the side.
What is this for, what is this for!!!
It scared me!
Cui Zheng almost burst out laughing when he saw Chen Ye jump away like a rabbit.
Gao Yuan's eyes flashed with a smile as he explained seriously, "Here's the thing, we're here with a mission. Thank you for your help with the city's affairs, and we're here to give you a reward."
What?
What!!!
What's happening in the city?
It’s not what I thought!
Chen Ye looked at the little grandfather helplessly, and said, "Little grandfather, I swear, I was very secretive in my theft. I have no idea how these two people knew about it."
Chen Shengli was also stunned for a moment before he remembered what the two men were talking about. So, there were soldiers accompanying them? It seemed those people had committed a serious crime.
