Chapter 318: Apology
In the afternoon, she took great pains to buy a few fruit trees from the villagers.
Liu Yinyin really didn’t expect this.
In addition to fruit trees, Zheng Qiangwei also bought a lot of seafood. According to Liu Yinyin, all the seafood she bought were ingredients suitable for barbecue.
Zheng Qiangwei is also a self-made woman, and she buys seafood by the kilos.
Now they are all poured into a wooden basin to keep.
More than twenty large oysters, three or four pounds of shrimps, as well as squid, large scallops, large conches, and abalone.
Add a big roast duck, and I don’t know if I can finish it.
Next, Liu Yinyin was busy preparing the seafood.
The yard was large and convenient for work, so Liu Yinyin simply moved out a table to put things on.
We will also have dinner outside later. It just happened to rain last night, so the weather is not too hot.
It also saves you from dirtying the house.
Gu Cheng and Yang Ming went home from get off work together. When they came back, they saw the yard full of food.
Liu Yinyin and Zheng Qiangwei were very busy.
The two smiled at each other and helped each other to work.
The seafood has been almost cleaned up, and the remaining ones are mainly grilled seafood.
Liu Yinyin prepared several kinds of seasonings, including oil and salt, chili powder, cumin powder, five-spice powder...
The preparation of oysters, scallops, conch and abalone is even simpler. Just cover them with a layer of minced garlic and grill them directly.
"My sister-in-law is always full of ideas. These seafoods are so delicious when cooked this way." Yang Yiming ate a piece of grilled abalone with garlic and praised it highly.
The roast duck is also good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, roasted to perfection.
Yang Yiming pulled out a big duck leg for Gu Yanyan, and the little guy ate it with great relish.
Holding the duck leg in my right hand and holding a soda in my left hand, I feel so happy.
Liu Yinyin also tried some seafood, which tasted really good.
Although the seasonings are not as complete as those in later generations, they are all pure natural ingredients and taste good.
There were a lot of fish and meat on the table, and Liu Yinyin also fried a plate of lettuce to relieve the greasiness.
By the end of the meal, don’t even mention Liu Yinyin and Zheng Qiangwei.
Even Gu Cheng and Yang Yiming, two grown men, were overwhelmed.
After being on the island for so long, Zheng Qiangwei enjoyed this meal the most: "Sister-in-law, let's eat like this next time."
The BBQ is so delicious! I come here at least once or twice a month.
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Sure, as long as you don't mind the trouble."
“It’s worth the trouble to eat something so delicious…”
There was half a watermelon left on the table, and several people couldn't eat it anymore, so Liu Yinyin put it away.
By the time we finished cleaning the yard, it was already dark.
Liu Yinyin wanted to take a shower and go to sleep when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Liu Yinyin: “…”
It’s so late now, could it be that Zheng Qiangwei forgot something?
Gu Cheng had already opened the door and then led two people in.
Liu Yinyin was slightly stunned: "...Teacher Jiang, why are you here?"
The people who came were Jiang Yuan and Wei Zitao.
Jiang Yuan's expression was subtle: "Your family's living standard is really good."
In fact, she brought Wei Zitao here in the evening, but Jiang Yuan did not knock on the door at that time.
She smelled a fragrance outside the door and heard voices in the yard.
Guessing that Liu Yinyin had guests at home, she didn't feel comfortable visiting.
Liu Yinyin said calmly: "I just bought some seafood. You guys sit down for a while."
She took the cup and poured two glasses of water.
There is no family on the island who cannot afford seafood, let alone the family compound.
It’s not a big deal for Liu Yinyin to prepare some seafood at home.
Jiang Yuan had tasted good food before, so she quickly avoided the topic and stammered, "Well..."
Seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, Liu Yinyin said, "Teacher Jiang, just say whatever you want to say."
Jiang Yuan said unnaturally, "I didn't ask the details of yesterday's incident. My child is immature. Zitao, apologize to Gu Yan."
Wei Zitao picked at his nails and whispered to Gu Yanyan: "I'm sorry..."
Maybe because he had just cried, Wei Zitao's eyes were almost swollen like walnuts.
He was young, and his feelings were written all over his face; it was obvious that he was not willing to apologize.
Not only him, Jiang Yuan is probably the same.
Liu Yinyin was shocked for a moment, then curled her lips and said, "...It's okay, it's just a little fight between kids, it's not a big deal."
Jiang Yuan brought Wei Zitao over to apologize. No matter what the reason was, Liu Yinyin decided to quit while she was ahead and didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
"And..." Jiang Yuan paused, and handed the two bags in her hand to Liu Yinyin, "I brought some things to nourish your child."
Liu Yinyin was right. Jiang Yuan did not come to apologize on her own initiative.
I don’t know where Brigade Commander Wei heard about what happened in the orchard yesterday, but he knew every word Wei Zitao said.
After returning home, he got very angry and beat up the old man Wei Zitao severely, even using a whip.
Jiang Yuan was not spared either. Brigade Commander Wei pointed at her and scolded her for indulging the child and teaching Wei Zitao a bad boy.
Moreover, they were required to come to Gu Chengjia to apologize, otherwise they would be sent back to their hometown to farm.
Jiang Yuan was so wronged. Originally, this matter was Wei Zitao's fault. Not only was she implicated, but she also had to clean up the mess for her stepson.
Even though she was unwilling, Jiang Yuan still brought Wei Zitao with her. Brigade Commander Wei had a bad temper and might really send them back home.
Liu Yinyin said, "...Yanyan only suffered some minor injuries. You can take the food back and feed it to the child."
"This is what Brigade Commander Wei meant." Jiang Yuan put the things directly on the tea table.
It was getting late, so Jiang Yuan apologized and left.
Liu Yinyin felt sympathetic. She glanced at Gu Cheng, who was calmly drinking tea, and asked, "Did you tell Brigade Commander Wei about what happened yesterday?"
Otherwise, Jiang Yuan would not have brought her son to apologize.
Gu Cheng nodded: "I'm telling the truth."
Many people went to the orchard to pick fruit yesterday. We can find out what is going on if Brigade Commander Wei asks someone to go and ask.
Gu Cheng is telling the truth.
"What about these things..." Liu Yinyin took a look at the two bags that Jiang Yuan brought over.
One bag contained flour, weighing about ten pounds, and the other bag contained canned meat, also a heavy bag with four cans in it.
Both white flour and canned meat are good things that are hard to come by these days.
Liu Yinyin considered, "Should we send the things back?"
It was wrong for Wei Zitao to attack first, but he was more seriously injured than Gu Yanyan.
There is no need to send these things over.
"Take it." Gu Cheng said, "This matter is over."
Liu Yinyin said "Oh" and thankfully said, "I didn't expect that your Brigade Commander Wei is quite reasonable."
He did not bully others just because he held a higher position.
