But no matter how he tried to stop them, the chickens and rabbits were eventually killed.
Soon, smoke rose from both kitchens, and Jiang Yuxin was busy in the other kitchen.
A group of officers and soldiers were not idle either. Since they were eating at someone else's home, they couldn't just stand there and watch. They all rushed to work.
At the same time, doctors and nurses finally arrived, and there were still a dozen soldiers who had not woken up.
After careful examination by the doctors, it was found that there was nothing serious wrong with these people. They were just in a coma due to lack of oxygen and they would all wake up soon.
Hearing this, the person in charge was completely relieved.
When Old Lady Qin saw the doctors and nurses were about to leave, she thought that it was almost time for dinner, so she hurriedly tried to keep them.
The meals for so many people have already been prepared, so if they stay the only thing is to add a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Today's meal was particularly sumptuous, and everyone in Zaojiazhuang could smell the rich aroma of meat.
As soon as they smelled it, they knew it was the smell coming from Lao Qin's house. It seemed that they were entertaining the officers and soldiers with a banquet.
Naturally, no one would be so shameless as to ask for free meals, and they are not so generous as to treat so many people to a meal.
The Qin family is well-known for being a philanthropic family in the area. They are kind to everyone and will help anyone they can.
She has never acted arrogantly because of her son's achievements in the army, and has always been very low-key.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, his son would become such a high-ranking official in the army, and he would not only follow his son to the army to enjoy the good life.
At least we have to arrange a few guards to protect their safety at home, or ask the cadres here to take extra care of them.
But they didn't. If no one knew their family's situation, no one would think of the Qin family as military families.
At half past twelve, lunch was finally ready.
Early in the morning, the brothers Qin Jiandang and Qin Jianguo brought a group of soldiers and borrowed chairs for dining from other villagers' homes.
Even the villagers who had not eaten yet borrowed it without saying a word, and they just ate it at the stove in the kitchen.
Because there were so many people eating, one hall could not accommodate so many tables. Only four tables could be placed. Two tables were placed in the kitchen, and the remaining three tables were placed in the hall of another house. A total of nine tables were placed, which could barely accommodate everyone.
Old Mrs. Qin asked the children to pick up the food and sit on small stools to eat, as they had to wait for the guests to arrive.
"We can eat while standing, so let the children sit at the table!" The person in charge said hurriedly when he saw this.
"No, no, you are the guests. It doesn't make sense to let you eat while standing." Old Lady Qin personally invited everyone to sit down.
Except for five soldiers who were still asleep, the rest were already sitting at the table.
Today's lunch is very sumptuous. In addition to chicken soup and braised rabbit meat, there are also pork stewed with vermicelli, fish with fermented rice wine, carrots, and cabbage. Each portion is very large.
In addition to the dishes, there are also many staple foods, including steamed buns, steamed sweet potatoes, white rice, and cooked chestnuts.
The troops never lacked meat, but they could only enjoy such a hearty meal during festivals.
The most important thing is that the meal is not only sumptuous, but also tastes surprisingly good.
It smells good and tastes even better. I wish I could eat my tongue into it.
They are a bunch of hot-blooded young men who eat a lot and digest quickly.
Old Mrs. Qin was afraid that it wouldn’t be enough, so she prepared a lot of staple food.
Seeing everyone eating the meat with big mouthfuls, she kept smiling: "Eat more, there's more in the pot if it's not enough."
"Auntie Qin, did you make all this? It's delicious, hundreds of times better than the food in the army cafeteria." A soldier praised without hesitation while eating his meal.
Others echoed this, without any sense of compliment, as they had never tasted such delicious food before.
I don’t know how they made the ingredients taste so good.
"My daughters-in-law also made it. We just cooked it randomly. If you think it tastes good, eat more." Old Mrs. Qin responded with a smile.
She has heard this countless times, but she still feels happy.
There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a meal you cook being well received.
"Thank you for your hard work today. Not only did you save our comrades, but you also cooked so many delicious meals. I'll offer you a glass of tea instead of wine." The person in charge suddenly stood up and expressed his sincere gratitude.
Qin Jiandang and others immediately stood up and exchanged some pleasantries before clinking bowls with them.
The children ate very quickly. After finishing their meal, they went upstairs to play, some read, and some took a nap.
In another house, Chen Yue was eating the chicken soup her husband had served her, and saw her husband skillfully changing the baby's diaper.
I couldn't help but ask about the avalanche, and was relieved to learn that there were no casualties.
But when she thought about it was still raining, she was afraid there would be another avalanche.
“Don’t worry, even if an avalanche occurs, we still have to trust the government.
And you don’t know that Er Gouzi and his children are very capable. They helped us to complete the rescue so quickly.”
"Yeah!" Chen Yue nodded.
After changing the child's diaper, Zhou Huaxing went out to eat.
Many people recognized him. During the rescue, he was doing his best. Even after all the people were rescued, he did not take credit for it.
The person in charge was quite impressed with him. He already knew his situation through Aunt Qin and immediately said that he could help him find a civilian job in the army. The allowance might not be much, but it would be enough to support his family.
This is a stable job. Ordinary people would be so happy to hear it that they would agree immediately.
But Zhou Huaxing did not hesitate for a moment and immediately refused with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but I just did what I thought I should do.
What's more, I'm not the only one who rescued the villagers. If you really want to express your gratitude, you should also thank Aunt Qin and her family."
"We have everything we need, but Xiao Zhou, I think you should seize this opportunity. After all, you have a wife and children to support." Old Lady Qin was doing ideological work on the side.
Zhou Huaxing smiled faintly: "I actually have my own plans. Working in the army is certainly a stable job, and I don't have to worry about being laid off in the future.
But I want to give my wife and children a better life, so I plan to start a business after the Chinese New Year."
Everyone has their own ideals and ambitions. After hearing what he said, the person in charge did not force anything anymore.
Many people admire his courage. If it were them, they would definitely not dare to take such a risk and give up the iron rice bowl that others dream of to go into business.
If I lose everything, I will want to die.
Just when everyone was about to finish their meal, the soldiers who were still lying in bed woke up.
They seriously suspected that this group of people were attracted by the smell of food.
