Gu Chengze and Ji Pingshan came back together and chatted on the way.
"Have you and Comrade Lin agreed to have dinner tomorrow?"
Gu Chengze hummed, then said, "We plan to go to the cafeteria, and then we can gather a few tables to make it more lively."
There's nothing wrong with treating people in the cafeteria, many people do that.
But they all have one thing in common: they are not good cooks.
Comrade Lin doesn't look like he's good at cooking, so it's understandable that he goes to the cafeteria to treat us.
"If you need any help, just let me know."
Gu Chengze smiled and said, "Thank you."
The two of them walked back while talking, and before they reached the door of their house, they smelled the rich aroma of chicken soup.
Ji Pingshan swallowed and said, "My wife must have made something delicious at home to reward me."
Gu Chengze glanced at him and said indifferently, "I think it was my wife who did it."
"Don't come here, don't think I don't know that you're the one cooking at home."
A few days ago, when I went to deliver something to Gu Chengze, I saw him wearing an apron, and Comrade Lin was watering the vegetables outside.
But I have to say that Comrade Lin is very good at making noodles, and the aroma of scallion pancakes seems to linger on my nose.
"We'll see later."
Gu Chengze silently waited for Ji Pingshan to slap him in the face.
Ji Pingshan's eyes turned, and a plan came to mind. "It's no fun without a prize. If I guess right, you get to give the report tomorrow."
Gu Chengze glanced at him, thinking it was incredible that he had spent so much time thinking about this lucky number.
This report was a self-criticism report. None of them wanted to go, so they drew lots and chose Ji Pingshan to be cannon fodder.
He patted Ji Pingshan on the shoulder and said, "I used to sympathize with you, but now it seems you brought this upon yourself."
"What are you guys mumbling about?"
Su Hongping waited for no one at home, so she came out and saw the two of them standing there, not knowing what to say.
"Wife, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
Su Hongping was puzzled. "What else can I eat? I didn't finish the food I made for lunch, so I made a pot of dumpling soup."
Hearing this, Ji Pingshan's heart sank.
I guessed wrong!
"Let's go home and eat chicken."
Listening to Gu Chengze's annoying voice, Ji Pingshan straightened his chest angrily. It's just chicken soup, it's not like he hasn't had it before. The dumpling soup made by his wife is still more delicious.
Su Hongping looked shocked for some reason. She patted his arm and said, "Why are you looking so sad? Don't scare the children."
"Dad, come and have some chicken soup."
Chicken soup? Isn't it called pimple soup?
"Jingshu gave it to me. I said I didn't want it, but she refused."
I don't want to owe others anything, but I end up owing more and more.
Ji Pingshan was conquered by the taste after just one sip of the chicken soup, and only one word remained in his mind: delicious!
I don’t know how Comrade Lin cooked it, but it has no fishy smell at all.
Not only he was attracted by the fragrance, but also Feng Jinhua who was not far away.
"Something delicious is being made next door? How come it smells so good?"
Feng Jinhua gritted her teeth, took a bite of the sweet potato, and stood on the wall, stepping on the stones to look out.
It’s a pity that there was no one on the road, so it was a waste of time to look there.
"I want to eat meat, too."
Sun Yongjian and his younger brother Sun Yongkang stood behind him, the two faces identical, swallowing their saliva constantly.
"Why eat meat? We can't even afford to eat. If you want to eat meat, go to someone else's house."
They wanted to eat, and she wanted to eat too.
They say that the little brats are the ones who make their father poor.
The eldest son is at the age when he is growing taller. He can eat three bowls of rice in one meal. The youngest son also has a good appetite.
The food coupons at home are almost gone, and we can only eat a few sweet potatoes to ease the pain.
But the people next door are against her, either eating meat or chicken. Isn’t this intentional?
On the other side, Gu Chengze heard chirping sounds as soon as he entered the door. He followed the sound and found that there were a few more chicks in the house.
The tall shadow cast a shadow on the chicken coop in the moonlight, and the chicks huddled together in fear.
"You're back, wash your hands and eat quickly."
Lin Jingshu said, "I bought five chicks today. When they grow up, we won't have to buy eggs anymore."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
The two chickens were quite large, so Lin Jingshu left two chicken thighs and cut the rest of the chicken into small pieces to make chicken sauce.
Throw the bones into the pot to stew the soup. When the soup is almost cooked, throw in the boneless chicken thighs, potatoes, carrots and other ingredients. Sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions when serving.
Place cucumber shreds at the bottom of the bowl, take out the cooked chicken legs, tear them into strips, drizzle with chili oil, and the homemade mouth-watering chicken is ready.
"It's such a rich feast, thank you for your hard work, daughter-in-law."
"Today is a good day, let's celebrate."
Good days?
“Ding ding ding.”
Lin Jingshu handed the contract to Gu Chengze with a smile.
Gu Chengze took it and looked at it carefully. After reading it, he looked up and said, "My wife is really amazing. Do you want to sign it?"
Lin Jingshu held her face and said, "I think it's quite worthwhile. After all, painting is what I'm good at and what I do is what I like. It's perfect to make money on one hand and have fun on the other."
"Okay, I'll do as you say, but if you're too tired, just take a rest."
After dinner, Gu Chengze washed the dishes and Lin Jingshu cleaned the mulberries.
After finishing their work, the two sat under the grape vines and chatted.
"The grapevines are growing quite fast. We'll have to tie up these drooping branches soon."
The green branches are hanging in the air, and you can easily bump into them if you are not careful.
The lights were on in the yard, and Gu Chengze immediately tidied up while he had time.
"How many people are we having for dinner tomorrow night?"
We need to invite the familiar Su's family, Miao's family, and Aunt Kang.
I don’t know if there are any other people on Gu Chengze’s side.
"Call Chen Liang and a few other brothers, that's all."
Basically, they were the people who talked a lot in daily life. Lin Jingshu knew all the people he mentioned more or less.
"Do we need to prepare anything else?"
Gu Chengze thought for a moment and said, "Probably not. I've already told the canteen chef that he's covering everything."
In this way, Lin Jingshu doesn't have to worry.
While chatting, Lin Jingshu's mouth was not idle. She threw a mulberry into her mouth and fed one to Gu Chengze as well.
“Is it sweet?”
Gu Chengze replied: "Tian, where is this from?"
Lin Jingshu told him about buying chicks and casually asked, "Is there anyone who keeps dogs nearby?"
She wanted to raise a puppy so that if Gu Chengze was not at home on a mission, she would have the puppy to keep her company.
Gu Chengze had obviously thought of this as well. After tying the last branch, he patted the dirt off his hands and said, "I'll ask someone to help find out."
During the famine a few years ago, people could not afford to survive and not many people kept dogs.
As life gradually improved, more people started to keep dogs. However, there were many children in the family compound, so for safety reasons, few families kept dogs. There should be some in the nearby villages.
Gu Chengze kept this in mind and handed it over to Chen Liang as soon as he arrived at the military camp the next day.
Who has a dog?
This matter really did not bother Chen Liang. "That's easy. It's far away and yet it's right before our eyes."
