"Let's go back and eat first." Zhang Xingrong said, handing some of the meat she bought to Shi Tou.
She is now the factory manager, earning 100 yuan a month, and also has coupons. So she doesn't have to worry about money or coupons when buying meat.
Shitou was very happy. He took the meat and happily took her hand and went back.
When they returned home, they could smell the aroma of meat from afar. When they went in, they saw a table full of food and Zhang Hewan was placing stools.
"Why is there so much meat?" Zhang Xingrong wondered.
Zhang Hewu then arrived. "This is the chicken I hunted in the mountains. There's another one outside. This is the meat Wanzi brought back. This is from my fourth uncle and aunt. These were brought in by the villagers. I didn't want to take them, so they threw them in and ran away. I didn't know where to return them, so I just cooked them."
He hadn't finished cooking the meat and eggs the villagers had given him; there was still plenty hanging in the kitchen. Now, wherever he went, the villagers were incredibly welcoming. Whatever he wanted to do, they rushed to do it, not letting him do it.
He was often left in a state of confusion. He knew it was all because of Rongya. Rongya had done so much for the village and the brigade, so everyone's affection for them was more than just a simple fondness.
Zhang Xingrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "Since it's given to me, I'll eat it."
She won't eat anything given to her by outsiders, but the people in Lugou Village are all kind-hearted, so there's no need to worry.
"Rong Ya!" At this moment, Fourth Aunt came out of the kitchen holding a bowl, followed by Taozi and Mei Ya. The two children were holding rice pots in their hands and looked happy.
Zhang Xingrong greeted happily, "Where's Fourth Uncle?"
"Your fourth uncle has gone back to get some things and will be here soon. Come on, go inside. It's cold outside!" As she said this, she carried a basket of dishes into the house and set them aside.
Zhang Xingrong followed him in and started working.
Zhang Hewan saw that everyone was happy and in a good mood, but she felt like an outsider, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Go in." Zhang Hewu patted him, "Apologize to your sister. She's actually very soft-hearted."
Zhang Hewan hesitated for a moment, wanting to speak but then stopped, "Is everything you said true? Did Lian Ya do so many things?"
"Do you think I would lie to you? What's the benefit of me lying to you? What benefit can you give us now?" Zhang Hewu was much clearer-headed than him.
Zhang Hewan was thin-skinned and immediately blushed: "I...I didn't mean that."
Zhang Hewu didn't regret his harsh words. If he hadn't said them, Wanzi wouldn't have come to his senses. "That's good, Wanzi. Rongya is actually still angry. You were so nice to Lianya back then, and I was angry too. If you talk to her nicely later, Rongya will soften her heart and will definitely understand."
"Okay." Zhang Hewan nodded.
The two of them followed him in, and not long after they sat down, their fourth uncle arrived.
He was followed by a man named Rongzi.
Fourth Uncle was somewhat helpless and explained, "Rong Ya, Lian Ya ran off to some unknown place, so Rong Zi is at my house now."
Rongzi was originally raised by Zhang Xinglian, but she ran away. Rongzi then lived with the captain of Zhangjia Village for a while. Captain Zhang's family certainly didn't want to keep him, so they sent him to Zhang Guokuan.
"I don't know what's going on with Lian Ya. Ever since she showed up the last time the Lu family came to break off the engagement, I don't know where she's been!" Fourth Aunt was helpless. The last time the Lu family broke off the engagement, they brought the old man and the old woman out, breaking off the engagement at the Zhangjia Village Ancestral Hall. The Lu family gave the two elders money. The two elders split a lot of money at the time and agreed immediately. After they were released from labor reform, they would have money to spend. How could they not agree?
