"Sister, do you think we should trouble Uncle Village Chief to help us find someone to do it, since our house is so small?"
Jian Dan smiled to the side, offering no objection whatsoever, while Cheng Rui clapped his hands in sudden realization.
"Oh right, we're not the masses, so why are they being so dramatic?"
Liu Weimin breathed a sigh of relief, but his old face was full of embarrassment. What kind of mess had this made?
They just delivered meat and bones yesterday, and today they're giving away the meat they haven't even received yet, all for the sake of the village.
Those greenhorn soldiers were the same; they helped the village with the work but didn't even drink a drop of soup.
Sigh, he's really embarrassed, he feels so ashamed.
But since they'd already said that, he decided not to argue any longer.
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll arrange for someone to do it right away. I know what to say."
However, this is a village matter, and neither in terms of reason nor emotion, we cannot use your meat.
Don't worry about it. I'll secretly bring you some meat when it's distributed.
The three sisters were all startled by this sudden, lewd appearance.
"Oh, that's not necessary,"
Cheng An and the others actually knew Jian Dan's little secret: she didn't like eating wild boar meat. Apart from pig's trotters, any part of the wild boar was not very popular in her family.
Liu Weimin went back in a loud and boisterous manner and ordered people to cut the meat, as if afraid that people wouldn't know.
Actually, he wasn't in a hurry to divide the meat. Right now, a large portion of the family lived outside and didn't have any cooking utensils. They would have to cook together, so cooking in a large pot would save them trouble.
Cheng Rui also went to see Xiao Wu, as they had planned. However, since they were familiar with each other, they didn't speak or stand on ceremony.
"Brother Xiao Wu, my sister said that she had eaten your cooking in the county town before, and it was so delicious, wasn't it?"
You and my older brother are brothers, and we call you brother too. So why are you being so formal in our own home?
Anyway, the meat was from yesterday when my older brother and sister helped the villagers kill a wild boar. The village wanted to thank them, so they gave it to them. He specifically told them to give it all to you before he left.
"You won't eat my older brother's food?"
Xiao Wu swallowed hard, following his gaze to the new recruits behind him. These recruits had only been in the army for a short time and were all quite young. They had been secretly swallowing and licking their lips as they ate their cold rations and smelled the aroma coming from over there. He had seen all of this.
He was only a few years ahead of them, and he was very clear about that feeling.
Considering Cheng Chao's usual style, he reluctantly agreed.
"Then I'll have to accept it this time. I'll apologize to the captain when the mission is over."
Cheng Rui didn't care about apologizing. He didn't take advantage of the collective and paid out of his own pocket. How could his brother blame him?
If his brother were here, he wouldn't want them to suffer like this.
