The more Ji Ping thought about it, the happier he became, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the cigarette.
Yao Qiyue stuffed a box of cigarettes into Ji Ping's hand without saying a word: "What can I ask you for? Just keep it and I'll come to you later if I need anything."
Ji Ping thought that you might as well go to him now if you have any problems, after all, there are so many possibilities in the future.
He hadn't heard of anything big happening in the village now.
So it’s still the safest option now.
Yao Qiuyue never expected that her words would come true, and she would later have to ask the team leader for help because of a box of cigarettes.
Yao Qiyue gave him the cigarette and turned to leave, without any intention of causing trouble.
Ji Ping looked at Yao Qiyue who left in a hurry, shook his head and smiled helplessly.
I thought, forget it, any trouble she gets into is a good thing, like the incident with the educated youth in Wangjiang Village this time.
Thinking of this, Ji Ping felt much more at ease with the cigarettes he had collected.
…
Yao Qiuyue bought five pounds of pork today, all of which were pork belly and three-layer meat.
She couldn't buy braised pork at the state-owned restaurant, so she planned to make it herself in the evening.
Xiaobao and Xiaowu didn't go out to play either. They followed Yao Qiyue like little followers.
Xiaobao saw a bag of White Rabbit candies and couldn't help but hold out his chubby little hand: "Mom, five candies."
Yao Qiyue looked at Xiaobao's bright eyes, counted out five White Rabbit candies and handed them to him.
There's nothing she can do about it, it's her fault for owing someone candy.
There is a clear difference between Xiaobao and Xiaowu. It may be because Xiaowu has been wandering since she was a child. She will eat up all the food in her hand at once.
Xiaobao is used to keeping the food for himself and eating it slowly.
Yao Qiuyue usually doesn't care about the two people's habits.
Fortunately, even if Xiaowu has eaten all the delicious food, he will not snatch it from Xiaobao.
Yao Qiyue felt that Damao might have specifically instructed her about this.
Yao Qiyue was very open-minded about this.
Yao Qiuyue made a bowl of milk powder for each of the two children and asked them to sit on the kang and drink it.
Each person was given two extra pieces of White Rabbit milk candy, and there were also puffs from her cake shop.
Yao Qiuyue made puffs of pastry. Each puff is as big as Xiaobao's fist, and is filled with cream of various flavors, including matcha, cocoa, original flavor, and avocado.
Yao Qiuyue took out more than ten at a time this time.
When Du Yun comes, she will let him have a taste as well.
The two little ones sat on the kang and ate with gusto, and Yao Qiyue didn't have to worry about them.
Yao Qiyue went into the kitchen to prepare today's dinner. Braised pork is best served with rice.
She first washed the rice and steamed it in a clay pot.
Cut the pork belly into large, even pieces and prepare the side dishes.
Yao Qiuyue started to cook dinner for today.
Chen Qingyun took Damao and Jiangye to a meeting, and then they went home together. Not long after entering the yard, they could already smell the fragrance from the kitchen.
Jiang Ye walked into the house, put down the book in his hand, and ran to the kitchen in three or two steps: "What are you cooking tonight? It smells so good."
Yao Qiyue looked at the covered braised pork in the pot and said with emotion: "Your nose is really good. I just opened the lid to check the quality and you smelled it."
"Today I made braised pork, some green vegetables, and boiled eggs."
"Go and ask Master and his wife, and Grandpa He to come to our house for dinner."
Jiang Ye responded and ran away: "Okay!"
When Jiang Ye left, Jiang Mei just came back.
Jiang Mei also smelled the fragrance when she came back with two palm-sized crucian carps in her hands: "Sister-in-law, what are you cooking today? Why does it smell so good? Do you think I'm awesome today? I caught two fish."
Yao Qiyue, holding a spatula in her hand, saw the crucian carp in Jiang Mei's hand and praised: "Xiaomei is really amazing!"
Jiang Mei skillfully placed the fish in a basin of water and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll make you some fish soup tomorrow morning."
Yao Qiyue smiled and agreed: "Thank you very much, Xiaomei."
In the evening, the whole family sat at a big kang table.
Damao skillfully carried the plate of food to the table.
On the table were two plates of braised pork, a plate of twice-cooked pork, a dish of stir-fried vegetables, a dish of tiger-skin eggs, a home-cooked cold dish, and a plate of cold-mixed persimmons.
At the kang table, Chen Qingyun and He Bolin were still arguing about who should take the main seat.
Yao Qiyue entered the room carrying a clay pot of rice. Seeing that no one was seated, she asked in confusion, "Why aren't you all sitting down yet?"
Du Yun pointed at the two old men and said, "They are giving up their seats over there!"
Yao Qiyue looked carefully and realized that there were nine people in total, so what was there to refuse?
"Grandpa, you two sit here side by side. Our table is only this big, there won't be enough room for one of you to sit down if you give up your seat."
Chen Qingyun saw that it was not the case.
The two of them had no choice but to sit down somewhat awkwardly.
Yao Qiuyue took out the wine she had bought in advance and poured a small glass for each of the elders and their families.
Chen Qingyun took a sip of wine and smacked his lips: "Good wine!"
He Bolin was looking at the wine glass in a daze, but when he heard Chen Qingyun say it was delicious, he picked up the glass and took a sip.
After dinner, He Bolin also drank too much.
Fortunately, he didn't act crazy after drinking too much, he just shed tears silently.
Chen Qingyun felt sad when he saw this, so he poured himself a glass of white wine and drank it in small sips.
Chen Qingyun found out why He Bolin was demoted when he left Beijing.
At this time, the evil spirits around us are most easily exposed.
He Bolin, being in a high position, naturally understood this principle, but it is difficult to guard against a thief in your own home no matter how hard you try.
In order to get promoted, his eldest son found evidence of his interactions with foreigners in his study.
If you say that He Bolin has any bad intentions, that's definitely not the case.
Most of his correspondence with foreigners was in foreign languages, and he was learning other countries' languages by himself.
He felt that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country had to keep pace with the international community and understand other people's languages.
They cannot work in isolation, nor can they allow other countries to slander them. Therefore, if they want to speak for their country, they must communicate with people from other countries. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle.
Unfortunately, all his ambitions were shattered. He was betrayed by his closest people for promotion and higher positions, and the rift between them was something he could never repair in his lifetime.
This is why He Bolin became increasingly silent after being demoted.
Chen Qingyun felt a pang of bitterness in his heart as he thought about how his old leader had lost his fighting spirit.
Du Yun and Lu Zhian were sent here because of reports from people around them.
In the current situation in the country, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
He didn't know what he could do, so he felt a little depressed.
Yao Qiuyue saw that Chen Qingyun had finished drinking all the wine in his glass, and silently poured him another glass.
Chen Qingyun looked at the wine in the glass and said nothing. He picked it up and drank it all.
Yao Qiyue accompanied Chen Qingyun, drinking one glass after another until the two bottles of white wine she brought back were all gone.
Chen Qingyun still looked sober.
At least, Yao Qiyue felt that he was not drunk.
