Chapter 11011 Chu Song Hungry Tiger Pounces on Prey
"Come on, dinner is ready, dinner is ready. We can talk about anything after dinner."
After the food was served, Ye Xiuzhi wiped her hands and went to the yard to call people to come for dinner.
The weather has turned colder, and the family, who used to eat in the yard, has now moved to the main room with a large square solid wood table in the middle.
As soon as Ye Xiuzhi finished speaking, Chu Song stopped cracking melon seeds, stood up, and trotted into the house politely.
When Lu Minglin arrived, he saw her pouring wine into everyone's bowls. "This is the wine my mother brewed herself. It's super delicious. You can't buy it even if you have money. You are lucky."
Cen Zimu said, "That's great! Aunt Ye brewed it. I'm in for a treat today!"
"Yes, yes, normally we ourselves are reluctant to drink it."
After a few exchanges, Ye Xiuzhi was so confused that she looked at Chu Song with a scolding look: "Alright, stop flattering me."
She didn't care that Chu Song lied with his eyes open. She had clearly brought out rice wine yesterday and the whole family drank to their heart's content.
In fact, there is a reason why Chu Song is so active.
First, she is the youngest in the family, and she is the most suitable person to serve tea and wine to guests.
Secondly, Chu Song wished they would drink more. Men, with a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, could drink all night long.
In this way, there are fewer competitors at the dinner table.
In this era of oil and salt shortage, Chu Song had to abandon her ladylike reserve.
Everything is just empty talk; only what you eat is real.
Speaking of which, it was Chu Song’s contribution that Lu Minglin and Cen Zimu were able to come for dinner today.
If she hadn't said that Lu Minglin was an expert in raising pigs when she returned to the village that day, and Chu Hang, who was obsessed with how to raise big fat pigs, heard it, he would have turned to Lu Minglin and asked for advice.
After a while of tinkering, the few of them actually figured out a method of raising pigs. After seeing initial success, Chu Yaoguo, on behalf of the Luhua Brigade, invited everyone to his home for a simple meal as a token of gratitude.
To sum up, Chu Song felt that she was the real contributor to the Luhua Brigade!
After all, if it weren't for her, how could the subsequent series of events have happened?
Chu Song picked up the chopsticks, hiding his achievements and fame.
Chai Xueqi finally brought in a bowl of egg drop soup. All the dishes were served and everyone took their seats one after another.
Although it was a simple meal, Ye Xiuzhi felt that the two educated youth had come from big cities and had seen all kinds of delicious food. Since she was entertaining them, she couldn't be too shabby to avoid making a fool of herself.
So this meal is as sumptuous as the New Year's Eve dinner, with vegetables, meat, eggs and river crabs.
Ye Xiuzhi's cooking skills are average and cannot be compared with the chefs that Chu Song hired at high salaries before.
However, Chu Song was not qualified to care so much.
In Ye Xiuzhi's words: "It's good enough to have something to eat! You're still being picky. Do you know that some people in remote areas are still eating coarse grains and vegetables?"
Chu Song was shocked at the time, "What! Is there an area more remote than ours?!"
Then Ye Xiuzhi rolled her eyes at her and called her "stupid".
Chu Song thought in a rebellious way, it was really like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog. She was the bully of City A, but she had fallen to this point!
Chu Song's heart tightened as he saw Chai Xueqi next to him start to pick up the crab with his chopsticks. He had no time to feel sad about the passing of time, but followed closely behind and quickly and accurately picked up a crab.
The crabs were caught by Brother Chu at the riverside for several nights and he put together a plate of spicy stir-fried crabs.
Compared with the greasy sausages and bacon on the table, Chu Song prefers seafood.
Except for her, no one likes to eat the small crabs with more shells than meat and which are difficult to peel. Everyone prefers the fat meat, which is rich in oil and gives them strength.
"Xiao Cen, Xiao Lu, don't be polite with your auntie. Eat as much as you want and treat it as if you were at home!" Ye Xiuzhi greeted them with a smile.
Cen Zimu responded with a smile, but Lu Minglin couldn't help but look at Chu Song.
She was unusually quiet at this moment, and her eyes were focused solely on eating.
She ate in a very graceful manner. Even when she was peeling crabs, she didn't look awkward at all. She buried her head in the bowl, which was bigger than her face, and ate without even raising her head.
Lu Minglin took another look to make sure he was not mistaken. It was not an illusion, nor was it that her face was small, but the bowl was really big.
...But how could she hold such a big bowl?
Perhaps it was because Lu Minglin stayed a little too long. Ye Xiuzhi looked over and caught a glimpse of her daughter's large bowl. She coughed awkwardly.
"Look, last time I asked her to wash the dishes, she was clumsy and dropped them, so I got this instead."
There were only a few small bowls for eating at home, and they didn't have many. Buying new bowls would cost another 25 cents. Ye Xiuzhi was so angry that she scolded Chu Song and ordered her to use big bowls for eating in the future.
The original intention was to teach her a lesson, but Chu Song was so thick-skinned that he was extremely happy after having his own big bowl. Gradually, she forgot about it.
Now, the whole family is used to her eating from a large bowl every day.
Chu Song already had a problem with Lu Minglin. Why was he such a popular character in the book? Seeing him bump into her, he asked bluntly, "Do you live by the sea?"
Lu Minglin was stunned. He didn't understand what she meant and subconsciously shook his head to deny it.
"Why are you so nosy? I just like using a big bowl. What's wrong with you?"
Lu Minglin: “…”
Cen Zimu couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Ye Xiuzhi's eyes went dark. "Chu Xianxian! How dare you talk to Xiao Lu like that? You're so disrespectful."
"It's okay, Aunt Ye, Comrade Chu Song... uh, it's just children's words."
Chu Song: "Of course, I'm innocent and honest."
Cen Zimu tried to hold back his laughter, poked Lu Minglin with his arm, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, how do you feel?"
He really found it strange.
Lu Minglin had always been the "other people's kid" since he was little, praised by everyone. The most common phrase the kids in the compound heard was, "Look at Lu Minglin, then look at you."
Cen Zimu used to be unconvinced. He thought it was just pretending to be a good boy. After he tried to imitate it a few times, he felt it was still too abnormal.
Is climbing trees no longer fun? Or is fishing no longer interesting? He is a common man, so he doesn't suffer this kind of torture!
And now, it was a rare sight to see Lu Minglin being humiliated. Cen Zimu was amazed and wanted to worship Chu Song and let her say a few more words.
Lu Minglin ignored him and still looked gentle and polite.
After being glared at by Ye Xiuzhi, Chu Song became obedient and stopped talking nonsense.
After dinner, it was still early, and Lu Minglin and Cen Zimu were too embarrassed to just leave, so they stayed to chat with Chu Yaoguo.
Chu Song didn't want to be forced to work by Ye Xiuzhi, so although he had no interest in the men's conversation and the development of Luhua Brigade in the next ten years, he still squeezed over, nodded from time to time, and agreed with "hmm" and "ah".
Chu Yaoguo spoke even more excitedly. He was a competent and good captain. Over the years, he had always been concerned about the interests and development of the entire brigade, and was selfless and impartial.
Chu Song thought that if it were her, she would probably make some money and eat her fill first.
After Ye Xiuzhi cleaned up the mess on the table, she saw that everyone was still in the yard. She ignored Chu Song's pitiful look and took out the package.
"Xiao Cen, please take these things back. I didn't cook anything good tonight. I'm sorry for not treating you well. Please come and play next time."
"Who said there's no good food? I'm so full I can't even walk." Cen Zimu refused, "Aunt, you're really too polite!"
Ye Xiuzhi was determined and refused to accept such an expensive gift. Chu Song's eyes followed the package. If she was not afraid of being scolded, she would also like to join the battlefield.
After several attempts, Ye Xiuzhi finally gave in.
"I'll take this can of fruit, and you can take the rest back. Don't think I'm being nosy. I know you single men spend money lavishly, but you still have to be frugal in your daily life..."
Ye Xiuzhi couldn't help but nag.
Chu Song stared at the package in Cen Zimu's hand reluctantly, lamenting that her mother had no taste. If she was going to take anything, she should have taken canned meat, not canned fruit!
She should be allowed to take action, so that she can have the nerve to accept the gift.
Cen Zimu felt dizzy from the sight of this resentful look, and felt as if he had committed something extremely evil. His scalp tingled, and he simply threw the thing to Lu Minglin. After all, the thing was his.
Chu Song tilted his head and began to stare at Lu Minglin with a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
Lu Minglin: “…”
He thought about it seriously, and seemed to have found the reason why Chu Song treated him differently. Perhaps in her eyes, he didn't bring any gifts, but came to eat for free?
If I put myself in Chu Song’s shoes, this behavior is indeed annoying.
After two seconds, Lu Minglin held his forehead with his hand. So why did he put himself in Chu Song's shoes...
He collected his wandering thoughts and chatted with Chu Yaoguo for another half an hour. When they felt that the time was about right, Lu Minglin and the others stood up to say goodbye. It was already dark, so the Chu family did not try to keep them any longer.
Chu Song volunteered and raised his hand: "It's getting dark, I'll see Brother Zimu off!"
As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The person who would never stand if he could sit down normally, now offered to give someone a gift. Ye Xiuzhi didn't need to think much about it. The little girl was still thinking about the canned meat.
"Okay, let your second brother accompany you."
Chu Heng had no objection, so he said "OK" and turned to get the lantern for lighting.
How can she operate then! Chu Song's face fell, and he threw his hands in anger: "I'm not going."
Ye Xiuzhi thought to herself: Sure enough!
"No need to send me off, auntie. We can go back by ourselves." Lu Minglin and Cen Zimu, two men, were not afraid of the dark, so they quickly and politely refused.
Ye Xiuzhi handed the lantern to the two of them and said, "Then take the lantern. It's dark, so you won't be blinded."
"Thank you, Auntie. We are leaving now."
"Walk slowly."
Chu Song curled his lips and started complaining before anyone walked away: "What will I use if they take it away? What if I fall into the toilet at night?"
Ye Xiuzhi endured it again and again: "What can I do? It can be used after washing it!"
Chu Song wrinkled his nose in disgust.
But she was an optimistic girl. She thought again, since the lantern was in Cen Zimu's hands, she had an excuse to go to the educated youth center!
She will never let her can of meat escape from her hands!
