256: I came here because of the fragrance
.
Yu Erye happily carried a large pot of stewed fish into the main room and placed it on their newly built kang table.
Their family finally had a kang table. Yu Jiahui and Hong Cheng learned the craft from a carpenter in the company and managed to make a table. They didn't even paint it and just used it. Otherwise, every time the children of Widow Wang came to class, they would have to carry the table.
Shao Xia saw the fish but didn't ask any questions. There were many people in the company who knew how to fish, and she guessed that the people in the Yu family also knew this skill.
However, judging from the color of this pot of fish, it seems that a lot of soy sauce must have been added.
It's quite a luxury to use so much soy sauce at one time.
Xu Ying brought over another basket of cornmeal pot stickers, and Yu Jiahui brought over a bowl of mushroom egg drop soup and a serving of pickled vegetables.
The table was full.
It looks really appetizing.
Xu Ying greeted Shao Xia:
"Girl, get on the kang quickly and eat your fill!"
Shao Xia couldn't take her eyes off the pot of fragrant fish stew:
"Uncle Yu, Aunt Xu, I won't be polite then."
For people who eat in the cafeteria all year round, it is a very happy thing to be able to have a home-cooked meal.
Because home-cooked food has the taste of home.
The five of them sat on the kang and just started to eat when Jia Song came back with his lunch box. As soon as he entered the yard, he said:
"I came here because of the smell."
Of course, Jia Song didn't come here because of the smell. He heard from the people in the dormitory that they saw Yu Xiaoye coming back, so he got breakfast and came over to ask.
Jia Song was very concerned about Yu Xiaoye's situation in the propaganda team.
He regarded Yu Xiaoye as a capable person whom he had promoted, and was also proud of the achievements made by this capable person.
When Jia Song entered the room and saw a large basin of fish on the table, he exclaimed:
"Wow, my daughter is finally back. She's eating such a delicious meal this morning! I came just in time!"
Yu Erye had learned his lesson this time. Without waiting for others to kick him, he took the initiative to give up his seat to Jia Song:
"Secretary Jia, come and sit down, this is my younger sister——"
Before he could finish, "This is the fish my younger sister brought back," Xu Ying raised her leg and kicked him again:
"Hurry up and give up your seat, stop talking nonsense!"
Yu Erye had a bitter face and almost cried, "Am I not giving in?"
Jia Song didn't care what Yu Erye was going to say. He knew that their family often ate fish, so what was so special about it?
Jia Song sat on the kang, and six people were crowded around a small kang table.
No one was polite anymore, and six pairs of chopsticks started to put food into the fish bowl together.
For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of sucking fish bones.
Yu Jiahui deliberately did not choose a too big fish, only one weighing about ten pounds, so the fish bones were not too exaggerated. Of course, he definitely did not dare to put the fish head in, so there were only chopped fish pieces in the basin.
While spitting out the fishbone, Jia Song asked Yu Xiaoye:
"By the way, I heard that someone named Liang Qin has come to the propaganda team and will be responsible for guiding you in rehearsing your program. Who is this Liang Qin? Why haven't I heard of her?"
When Liang Qin was mentioned, Yu Xiaoye became a little wary, fearing that Shao Xia would say something she shouldn't, so he answered first:
"I don't know him either. Anyway, he was sent down from above."
I originally thought that if I just said a few perfunctory words, Jia Song would not take it seriously.
But Jia Song was a man of great prudence. He took a bite of the cake and asked again:
"Sent by the higher-ups? That's strange. Did they send people from every branch?"
"Then I don't know."
This is actually what Yu Xiaoye is most curious about. She also wants to know whether only their five branches have sent people to provide guidance, or whether there are people in each branch.
If there were people in every branch, Yu Xiaoye wouldn't have to worry.
I’m afraid that it will only target them for five points.
Because, if that were the case, it would mean that Liang Qin might have been instructed by Zhou Ziheng.
Although I don’t understand what Zhou Ziheng’s intention is, I always feel that it is not a good thing!

Jia Song took a few bites of the fish, but still felt it was a little suspicious.
He was about to ask another question when Yu Xiaoye pretended to be impatient:
"Brother Jia, can't you let me have a meal?"
Yu Jiahui couldn't bear it any longer and said to protect his son:
"Secretary Jia, don't talk while eating or sleeping. Don't you know that talking while eating is bad for digestion?"
Jia Song rolled his eyes:
You're not allowed to talk while eating, right? Well, I won't eat for now.
He simply put down his chopsticks and pancakes:
"Yu Xiaoye, don't eat yet. We're not in a hurry to go to work anyway. Tell me first, where did this Liang Qin come from? Is she from the propaganda department of the main farm?"
"How should I know?"
Jia Song asked Shao Xia again:
"You know what?"
Shao Xia was not stupid. She knew that Yu Xiaoye had been avoiding questions about Liang Qin. Now that he asked her, she certainly couldn't tell the truth. She shook her head repeatedly and was busy eating fish without saying a word.
Jia Song looked puzzled, and this made him feel even more that this woman had an extraordinary background.
After asking, no one knew where Liang Qin came from.
I always feel that this matter is a bit weird——
For no apparent reason, a person who seemed to be of great importance was suddenly sent to the branch venue to direct the rehearsal. There had never been such a precedent before.
Jia Song was puzzled, and Shao Xia was secretly suspicious while eating fish.
At first, Shao Xia thought that Liang Qin had some connection with the Yu family, but now judging from the reactions of the Yu family, the Yu family has no idea who this Liang Qin is.
But looking at Yu Xiaoye's always secretive attitude towards Liang Qin, it is obvious that Yu Xiaoye and Liang Qin have some connection.
This is strange. What connection does Yu Xiaoye have with Liang Qin?
Yu Xiaoye lowered his head to eat while secretly observing the expressions of Jia Song and Shao Xia. He saw their eyes rolling around.
I know that both of them are suspicious.
Well, what was originally a trivial matter has now become an unsolved case.
————
Yu Xiaoye only stayed in the company for one day and two nights.
Early the next morning, he and Shao Xia took Lao Pu's carriage back to the field office.
No one went with them this time because they generally knew about Yu Xiaoye's situation at the site, and now Shao Xia was there to take care of them.
Shao Xia seems to be a very prudent girl, and both Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying are quite relieved.
When the two arrived at the site, they hurried back to the dormitory and put their luggage and bedding on the kang, then returned to the propaganda office to gather and went to the auditorium to rehearse together.
After rehearsing for about an hour, Cui Xinrong came and clapped his hands vigorously at the people on the stage and said loudly:
"Girls, stop!"
All the rehearsals on the stage stopped, and everyone looked at Cui Xinrong, wondering what arrangements Section Chief Cui had made.
Section Chief Cui said:
"The comrades from the militia unit are doing combat readiness training in the threshing ground to the south. They're working quite hard. Our propaganda team is going over there now to bring them some water!"
When they heard about this mission, several female educated youth cheered and said:
"Okay, now go—quick, let's go watch the training!"
"Wait for me!"
Several girls jumped off the stage like frogs diving into water, unable to wait to show their care and concern to the militia soldiers. They also took the opportunity to openly watch a group of men conducting military exercises and see them shooting with their guns. The scene must have been majestic and exciting!
Because there was a bully who raped women hiding in the militia unit, Yu Xiaoye had a physical aversion to the entire militia team and was unwilling to contact them, let alone bring them water!
When he heard about this mission, he frowned and protested:
"Chief, why are you asking us to deliver water?"
