Just as he was about to go home, Xu Damao's voice rang out: "Dongsheng, why are you in such a hurry to go back? Come to my place and chat for a while."
"That's just right. I made some good tea. Let's try it."
"Um?"
He looked at Xu Damao strangely. This guy has been very low-key recently and rarely chats with Jia Dongsheng. Why did he think of inviting him for tea today?
Unable to figure out Xu Damao's thoughts, Jia Dongsheng gave up thinking about it. He nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, go make some tea first. I'll go back and be right back."
"Don't go back, just go to my place. My Xiao'e happened to be at your house chatting with my sister-in-law. You won't bother her if you go back."
Xu Damao said this, then pointed at the duck and chuckled, "Hehe, I went to the countryside to show a movie before, and the commune gave me some mountain products, including dried codonopsis and wild yam. You can take this duck with you and make a dish with my codonopsis and yam. We can drink some in the evening to replenish our body."
"Oh, and Nan Yi, he just arrived today. We should have a nice meal to welcome him, don't you think, Dongsheng?"
Well, no wonder Xu Damao was so kind as to ask him out for a drink. He must be greedy for meat and has set his eyes on his duck.
Fortunately, Xu Damao’s products are not cheap, especially the wild Codonopsis pilosula, which is very nutritious.
And when it comes to drinking, there are more people around, which really creates a better atmosphere.
In later life, Jia Dongsheng heard a sentence said by an old man who told crosstalk, and he felt that it made a lot of sense.
That's just how people are. There are always times when you're under a lot of pressure, and at those times you don't need any close friends to counsel you, tell you the truth, or give you any inspiration.
On the contrary, drinking buddies are particularly important.
Whether you are happy or sad, you can find a group of drinking buddies, have a drink and chat. The stress and boredom in your heart will almost be over when the drinking party is over.
Jia Dongsheng agreed with this statement very much. He didn't think he needed any close friends. It would be great to have a few people who could drink, chat and talk nonsense with him.
Therefore, this is how he treated people like Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, and Yan Jiecheng in the hospital.
If you can get along, then chat. If you can't, then just leave. You won't make much difference either way.
"Okay, Damao, you know how to unite the masses. It's settled then. You take one of these two ducks home and stew it for dinner."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "This one won't do. I have to take it back to make some soup for my wife to nourish her body since she's pregnant."
These words instantly froze the smile on Xu Damao's face.
I just felt a sentence pop up in my mind: "This guy must have done it on purpose, he must have done it on purpose. He knew that I couldn't have children and was a dead end, but he still mentioned my wife's pregnancy in front of me. What should I do? What should I do?"
"Oh, right. When we were drinking tonight, I got him drunk and asked him to talk about my sorrow."
Thinking of this, Xu Damao forced a smile: "Okay, then I'll go make some tea first, you hurry up and come over, your room is full of women chatting, what's the point."
"Nan Yi, hurry up and pack up, and come over for tea later."
Nan Yi didn't expect that he just wanted to say hello to Jia Dongsheng, and not only did they make an appointment for tea later, but they also made an appointment for dinner in the evening.
He is still an old duck. Is there any justice or law in this?
He was treated like this as soon as he entered the hospital, which made him a little reluctant to leave. He didn't even think about the machinery factory where he was working yesterday.
There’s nothing we can do about it. The comrades at the steel rolling mill are too enthusiastic.
"Okay, Damao, I'll go clean up right away and be there in a moment."
Nan Yi agreed, greeted Jia Dongsheng, and then went into the house to busy himself. He also liked drinking tea.
Jia Dongsheng pushed the cart back home and took the duck into the house.
No wonder the central courtyard is so lively. No one at home has gone out, but the house has become a gathering place for daughters-in-law.
I saw Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu, Lou Xiaoe, Yu Li, and He Yushui there. The group of women were chattering about something, but I didn't know what they were talking about.
While they were talking, there would be bursts of laughter. Three women make a play, and in this room, with Jia and Zhang, there are enough to make up two big plays.
"Brother Dongsheng, you're back."
Seeing Jia Dongsheng coming in, Qin Jingru immediately stood up and hurried to greet him.
"Yeah, I'm back."
Nodding in response, Jia Dongsheng looked at Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li, and He Yushui, and said with a smile, "Haha, Xiao'e, Yu Li, Yushui, you're here too. What are you talking about?"
Faced with this question, the women who had been chatting enthusiastically just now suddenly lost their energy and had no intention of answering him. Among them, Lou Xiaoe, Yu Li, and He Yushui's faces even turned a little red, which made people imagine a lot.
"We didn't talk about anything, just our intimate conversations as women. You, a grown man, want to hear that?"
Qin Huairu also stood up, but did not walk around, perhaps because the swelling had not subsided yet.
"Hey, who wants to listen? I just heard you guys laughing outside and I was a little curious."
Having said that, Jia Dongsheng still really wanted to know what they were talking about.
In later generations, there is a saying that describes women like this: when women become hooligans, men have no chance to act.
According to legend, when women get together, each one is more promiscuous and lewd than the other. No one knows whether it is true or not.
After all, in his previous life, Jia Dongsheng only had a beauty but no wife, so no one talked to him about this topic.
"Dongsheng, where did you buy this duck?"
Qin Huairu noticed the awkwardness of Lou Xiaoe and the other two girls. There was indeed something off-key when they were chatting just now, so she was afraid that Jia Dongsheng would continue to ask questions and make them embarrassed, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Pigeon City."
Jia Dongsheng picked up the duck and said, "I delivered the stick to Sister Wenli. When I came out, I happened to pass by the pigeon market, so I went to look around. Luckily, I met a duck seller."
"Look, I just bought two ducks."
"Two?"
A group of people looked at Jia Dongsheng as if he was a fool. There was clearly only one duck, so how could there be two?
"The other one was taken away by Damao. He said he wanted to drink with me in the evening. He had some Codonopsis pilosula and asked me to use it to stew a duck."
"I see."
Qin Huairu nodded: "Then how do we eat this one?"
"Let's make some soup. It's good for women to drink more soup. It nourishes the skin and makes you stay eighteen forever."
As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru, Lou Xiaoe, and Yu Li all stared at the duck with shining eyes. Drinking the soup can make you eighteen years old forever, that's too good to be true, right?
Even He Yushui, who is not even eighteen yet, has a look of longing on her face. Although she is not even eighteen yet, she wants to be eighteen forever.
