Chapter 311 Resignation
It would be better to let Gu Cheng invite the people he knows to get together so that everyone can sit together and talk.
The decision was made at the last minute, and I was afraid that I would not be able to notify everyone properly.
Early the next morning, Gu Cheng went to the army to tell them about the incident and brought back a few pounds of pork.
Liu Yinyin went to buy groceries by bike, as the supply and marketing cooperative was not open yet.
Liu Yinyin went directly to Aunt Wang's house.
Auntie Wang has been in a very good mood recently, even her walks seem like a breeze.
The acne on her girlfriend Haicao's face has completely healed.
During this period, Aunt Wang did not allow Haicao to eat seafood or go out.
The seaweed looks better now that it is white, which is completely different from before.
Many more people came to the house to propose marriage to Haicao, and this time Aunt Wang was very proud.
"Yinyin, why are you here?" Aunt Wang was preparing to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm here to buy a duck. Do you have any other seafood? We have guests at home today."
Both of them worked in the supply and marketing cooperative and were familiar with the prices on the island.
When Aunt Wang sold things to them, she also followed the prices of the supply and marketing cooperative, and sometimes it was even cheaper.
Liu Yinyin simply bought it here.
Aunt Wang blushed and said, "Yes, you can just take the duck. As for the other seafood, your uncle has been idle these past two days and happened to catch a lot of fish and shrimps at the beach."
Thinking that there would be guests today, Liu Yinyin bought more things.
Three pounds of mantis shrimp, a bag of crabs, a bag of clams, and two big bighead carps.
With a duck, this amount of food should be enough.
Just like before, Liu Yinyin exchanged things for flour.
The flour was smuggled out of the system when she first arrived at Aunt Wang's house and there was no one around.
Auntie Wang accepted the flour and asked with a smile, "Yinyin, have you made any progress on what I told you last time?"
Liu Yinyin: “…”
If Aunt Wang didn't tell her, she wouldn't be able to remember what happened.
Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, my husband just came back from a mission. I'll go back and ask."
Aunt Wang was no longer in a hurry: "Okay, I'll ask. If it doesn't work, forget it."
On the way back, Liu Yinyin went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two bottles of wine.
Prepare it in advance so that you won’t be caught without it when you need to drink it.
Zheng Qiangwei knew that she had guests at home today, so she prepared two bags of melon seeds for her.
"I have to go to work in the afternoon, otherwise I would go over to help." Zheng Qiangwei said.
Liu Yinyin waved her hands: "No need to help, just come for dinner in the evening."
Zheng Qiangwei said happily: "I'm waiting."
Liu Yinyin is a good cook, so we will definitely have a good meal in the evening.
God knows, she’s almost sick of eating in the cafeteria.
Gu Cheng brought back a lot of things, including five or six pounds of wild boar meat and a fat rabbit.
These are the gains from this training trip to the mountains.
He also told Liu Yinyin that Ma Guilan and Miao Yan would come to help in the afternoon.
As for how many people there were, Gu Cheng said, "Two tables are enough."
Liu Yinyin planned to put ten dishes on the table, just like Ma Guilan did last time.
Eight dishes, braised pork, garlic spare ribs, double pepper rabbit, scallion crab, pepper and salt shrimp, garlic clams, chopped pepper fish head, and pickled fish.
Two vegetarian dishes, stir-fried bok choy and dried eggplant.
Prepare the ingredients first and start working in the afternoon to avoid being in a rush.
After the two of them had cleaned up the food, Liu Yinyin suddenly thought of something and told Gu Cheng that Aunt Wang wanted to find a partner for her daughter in the army.
Liu Yinyin didn't think too much about it: "If it's possible, how about I ask Haicao to come over this afternoon to help and let them meet?"
Gu Cheng said, "I don't think Xiao He can do it."
Liu Yinyin was puzzled: "...Why not?"
She actually didn't understand the situation in the army, although freedom of marriage is now advocated and parents are prohibited from arranging marriages.
But there is also the practicality to consider.
Gu Cheng explained: "Xiao He's hometown is far away from here, and the troops are not fixed here, and there may be transfers at any time."
Even Gu Chengdu is not sure whether he will be transferred to another place for work in the future.
Xiao He is young, and his future job changes will be very big.
What should we do with the seaweed then?
Liu Yinyin suddenly realized: "......That's right."
She immediately understood that Xiao He was indeed not suitable to be the partner of Hai Cao.
Liu Yinyin sighed: "Forget it, I'll explain it to Aunt Wang later."
After a moment of silence, Gu Cheng said, "Xiao He is not suitable. I will observe other people. If there is a suitable local candidate, I can introduce him to you."
There are many bachelors in the army, and helping them solve their personal problems is also a priority.
Liu Yinyin didn't say anything. She just waited to see what Aunt Wang meant.
In fact, Aunt Wang's family conditions are definitely good on the island. If it weren't for her high standards, Haicao's marriage would not have been unsettled until now.
After all, it's not like she can't get married.
After packing the ingredients, it was already late and Liu Yinyin just wanted to go to the kitchen to make lunch.
Suddenly, I heard a burst of sharp crowing of chickens coming from the yard.
Go out and take a look...
Liu Yinyin said excitedly: "I don't know which chicken is so hardworking that it laid an egg."
It was still a green-shell egg, quite small in size.
But that's normal, pheasant eggs are not big to begin with.
That’s good. From now on, Liu Yinyin won’t have to worry about buying eggs.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Guilan and Miao Yan came to Liu Yinyin's house to help cook.
Where there are many women, there is a lot of talking, and Liu Yinyin listened to her fill of gossip.
Ma Guilan said to Liu Yinyin: "I ran into Yu Xiaoxiu at lunch, and she said it was inconvenient for her to come over and help, so she asked me to apologize to you on her behalf."
Both of them had helped Yu Xiaoxiu before, so it was reasonable for her to come over and express her gratitude.
Liu Yinyin said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I know she's busy with work, so she doesn't need to come and help. There's not much work to do at home..."
What’s past is past. We’ve already invited them to dinner. There’s no need to trouble them again and again.
Besides, Liu Yinyin didn't actually interact much with Yu Xiaoxiu, and they weren't very close, so there was no need to invite her to the house to help.
Ma Guilan groaned, "You may not know yet, Yu Xiaoxiu is pregnant, but the fetus seems to be unstable. From what I heard from her, she wants to quit her job and go home to take care of the baby."
The couple must be careful with the child they have been waiting for so long.
Yu Xiaoxiu is not young anymore. If there is any accident with this pregnancy, the next one... will probably be difficult.
Liu Yinyin didn't know the news. She opened her mouth and was about to say something.
Miao Yan interrupted her: "What, Teacher Yu wants to resign?"
Yu Xiaoxiu is a Chinese teacher in the school and she is good at teaching children.
