Chapter 8: Go to Jiang's house for dinner and take some with you
Zhao Jiayun knew she was wrong, so she had to admit her mistake. Her sincere attitude made Wu Guangqian speechless. After all, they had eaten a lot of Chu Sangning's fine food.
No wonder he felt that the wowotou was soft and fine and would not irritate his throat. It turned out that it was because it was mixed with fine grains.
"Chu Zhiqing, we've already eaten it. How about this? We've eaten all the food, and we'll compensate you with some groceries, okay?"
"Okay." Chu Sangning agreed immediately.
Led by Wu Guangqian, five educated youths each compensated Chu Sangning with half a pound of miscellaneous grains.
Chu Sangning took what belonged to him, picked up the bag and left, leaving a few people in the kitchen in silence.
Although they didn't say anything, their actions gradually distanced them from He Yueyang and Zhao Jiayun. One of them was stupid, and the other made them throw away half a pound of food for nothing.
After finishing their meal, the three male educated youth washed the dishes and left without speaking to Zhao Jiayun.
Zhao Jiayun's chest was heaving. They were really going too far. Was it her fault? Wasn't she the one who ate all the food?
And there was Chu Sangning, who clearly had food to eat, but still haggled with them over a few pounds. Zhao Jiayun felt extremely unbalanced when he thought about how he had lived a life of luxury in his previous life, and he was so angry that he didn't even finish his meal.
Chu Sangning was still cutting grass for pigs in the morning, but after finishing the work, he went to the team leader and bought a pot.
"Pot? What do you want the pot for?" Jiang Zongzheng was curious.
After Chu Sangning told Jiang Zongzheng about the Youth Institute, Jiang Zongzheng's face turned as black as ink. "It's outrageous. It's simply outrageous."
Looking at Chu Sangning again at this time, he felt that she was being bullied, probably because of the sparrows Chu Sangning sent yesterday. Jiang Zongzheng said, "I'll go to the village to ask for you later. Come to my house to eat first."
"No, no, I won't bother you anymore."
Chu Sangning wanted to refuse but didn't, mainly because the captain's wife was so enthusiastic. After knowing that Chu Sangning had no place to eat, her eyes showed heartache.
"Chu Zhiqing, let's go. Although there's nothing delicious in Auntie's house, there's still food for you to eat. Don't be polite to Auntie. Let's go."
Li Chunfen pushed and pulled Chu Sangning back to her home.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a familiar figure. Jiang Panan was also at the captain's house.
Jiang Panan was also very surprised to see Chu Sangning. His eyes widened. He stood up and ran towards Chu Sangning: "Sister."
"Hey, Chu Zhiqing also knows Pan An?"
"Yes, I have." Chu Sangning nodded.
Jiang Panan happily surrounded Chu Sangning and said, "The candy I gave to Dabao was also given to me by my sister."
After Li Chunfen's explanation, Chu Sangning finally understood that the captain and Pan'an's grandfather were brothers. The two families visited each other frequently, and the children under them all got along well with each other.
When Chu Sangning was helping Li Chunfen, Lin Xiuzhi came over and called her grandson to eat. Upon learning that Chu Sangning was the educated youth who gave her grandson milk candy, Lin Xiuzhi insisted that Chu Sangning come to her house for dinner.
He also told Li Chunfen: "I will take Chu Zhiqing away with me."
Chu Sangning followed Lin Xiuzhi to the Jiang family with a confused look on his face. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, Pan Wenlan, was cooking in the kitchen. When she saw her mother-in-law bringing a girl back, she couldn't help but stick her head out of curiosity.
He smiled politely: "Mom, whose girl is this?"
"Chu Zhiqing, who gave An An milk candy, I invited her to my house for dinner."
"Chu Zhiqing, please come in and sit down." Pan Wenlan warmly invited Chu Sangning into the house.
Because there were guests at home, Lin Xiuzhi generously cut a piece of bacon and made stir-fried bacon with cabbage, cabbage stewed with vermicelli and cold cucumber.
"Don't be polite, Mr. Chu Zhiqing. Just eat." Pan Wenlan enthusiastically pushed the food in front of Chu Sangning and busied herself with it.
Lin Xiuzhi also looked at Chu Sangning with a smile. She thought the girl was pretty and asked lovingly, "Where is Chu Zhiqing from? How many people are there in her family?"
Before Chu Sangning could say anything, Jiang Pan'an looked up at his grandmother and said, "Grandma, you're like a team leader checking household registration."
Pan Wenlan, who was standing next to her, picked up a piece of bacon for her son with her chopsticks and whispered, "Eat your meal. Children, don't interrupt when adults are talking."
Jiang Panan hummed and lowered his head, concentrating on eating.
Chu Sangning replied to Lin Xiuzhi's question politely. When Lin Xiuzhi learned that Chu Sangning had lost his mother, her eyes almost turned red.
"Thank you for your hard work, kid, eat more."
Thinking of how Chu Sangning generously gave her grandson milk candy two days ago, Lin Xiuzhi really treated Chu Sangning as her own daughter at this moment. She picked up food for Chu Sangning and patiently gave her instructions.
"Sang Ning, you may not like what I'm saying, but I still want to say a few words. It's not easy for you to be alone outside. Don't give the food in your hand to others. Keep it for yourself."
"Don't blame me for saying such harsh things. After all, we have food in hand, so we are not worried. We should save some money."
If Chu Sangning still didn't understand what Lin Xiuzhi meant when she said this, then she had grown up in vain. Hearing this, she smiled.
"Ma'am, I understand."
"Okay, as long as you know it, Auntie, don't nag me anymore. You eat the bacon, you eat it."
After dinner, Lin Xiuzhi learned that Chu Sangning went to the captain's house to buy a pot. She slammed the table excitedly and said, "No need to buy it, no need to buy it. We have it at my aunt's house."
The older generation likes to hoard things, and they want to keep all the pots, pans, bottles and jars. Now they come in handy.
Lin Xiuzhi asked her eldest son to look in the woodshed, while she went back to the house and rummaged around, finally pulling out a can of fruit.
"Sang Ning, Pan An took your candy. There's nothing good in my aunt's house. This is what my youngest son sent back. You can keep it."
Chu Sangning was not willing to accept it. Besides, canned fruit was hard to find these days. It was probably something that Auntie Lin would not eat. She waved her hands and refused: "Auntie, please keep it. I don't want it. I really don't want it."
Pan Wenlan and Lin Xiuzhi joined the battle, and Chu Sangning finally left with a small pot and a can of fruit.
Looking at Chu Sangning's back, Lin Xiuzhi said with emotion: "What a good child, Wenlan, it would be great if she could be with us at the banquet."
Pan Wenlan pursed her lips and smiled, thinking of her brother-in-law, who would usually avoid girls when he saw them. Her mother-in-law was just worrying about nothing.
If the match doesn't turn out well, Chu Zhiqing would be so embarrassed.
"Mom, there's no rush for Xingyan. It won't be too late to talk about it after he comes back. And what if Xingyan is nowhere to be found?"
My brother-in-law is handsome and has a good job. He is serving in the army. If he falls in love with a girl in the army, and my mother-in-law is arranging things, wouldn't it be a collision?
