"Just thank God that you are not unemployed," Yan Xingguo reminded him.
He said with a lingering fear, "You're right. The prestige is really gone. In the past, if someone had a problem at home, we would just bring a team to search. How impressive it was."
"You're still talking about the past? You've done a lot of immoral things."
"It's good enough that my family can live a stable life now. I am content with what I have," Teng Feizhi said with a peaceful attitude.
A few people were chatting in the room when Zhu Yiwei came outside the door.
He carried half a sheep.
Xiaozhe at the door greeted, "Uncle Zhu, such a big New Year's gift."
"A little goat, raised at home."
Li Mingqing looked at the half-sheep and said, "Minister Zhu, that's too much. Since everyone is here, let's grill some lamb skewers together."
"I think it's okay." Zheng Qiangchao said.
"But who will deal with this sheep? Even though I brought it, I don't know how to deal with it," said Zhu Yiwei.
Teng Feizhi volunteered: "I'll do it. When I was a kid, I followed my grandfather to slaughter pigs and sheep. It's a piece of cake for me."
Li Mingqing stood up and said, "Feizhi, whether everyone can eat mutton skewers depends on you."
When Sun Jiaxue heard that they were going to grill lamb skewers, she immediately took out the barbecue grill.
The barbecue grill was bought a few years ago and has not been used much, so it looks almost as good as new.
He Hongyan rolled up her sleeves and went over to help.
Li Mingqing picked up the bamboo he had cut two days ago and swung the machete.
In no time, bamboo sticks were scattered all over the ground.
He shouted, "Come on, come on, everyone, get busy and start skewering the mutton."
Zheng Chenggong took the bamboo stick with a smile:
"Ming Qing, your swordsmanship is pretty good."
"Don't you see what I do?" Li Mingqing said.
Yan Xingguo suddenly realized: "Oh, you should handle this half of the sheep."
"I'm joking. Teng Feizhi is a professional. Looking at his technique, ordinary people really can't do it."
Several people looked at Teng Feizhi.
It is indeed professional.
The lamb chops are beautifully cut, and the lamb is cut into fat and lean parts, which is perfect for grilling.
"Feizhi, why don't you take up a side job?"
"To be honest, I applied for a position as a butcher at a meat processing plant before. I only swung my knife twice before they hired me. But then I got tired of the dirty and tiring job and stopped going."
Teng Feizhi talked about the past happily.
Zheng Chenggong smiled and said, "Brother Teng, the treatment at the meat processing plant was so good more than ten years ago, and you actually didn't go there."
"I was so out of my mind at the time that I refused to go and gave the position to my brother at home."
Li Mingqing: "Good things should be kept within the family."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a horn sound outside the door.
Thinking that several cars at the door were blocking the road, he went out to direct traffic.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Peng Tianhua and Zhao Xiaoling coming over.
Peng Tianhua said enthusiastically: "Ming Qing, we are here to join in the fun too."
"I thought the car was blocking the road. You came at the right time. They were roasting the lamb," Li Mingqing led them into the yard.
"It's better to arrive early than to arrive at the right time. We caught up with them."
Zhao Xiaoling rolled up her sleeves and started to help.
Sun Jiaxue quickly said, "Sister Zhao, don't interfere. Just sit down and wait for the food. It will be ready soon."
"I'm so sorry, did you slaughter a sheep for the New Year?"
"No, Minister Zhu brought it."
Peng Tianhua suddenly felt that the wine he brought was a bit rude.
Li Mingqing: "Tianhua, quickly open the wine you brought, it's just right for us to have a drink."
He quickly opened the bottle of white wine.
Zheng Chenggong waved his hand: "I'm afraid I'm too drunk to drive."
"Brother, the alcohol content is not high, one glass won't make you drunk," said Peng Tianhua.
Yan Xingguo advised: "It's New Year's Day, let's have a drink. We are all from all over the world, it's not easy to get together. If it weren't for Ming and Qing, we wouldn't be able to get together at all."
"That's true, Mingqing. We will come to your place every year to get together from now on," Zhu Yiwei said with a smile.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Li Mingqing raised his glass and said:
"Okay, it's settled. Come on, let's have a clash!"
Sun Jiaxue took out vegetables, meat and seafood from the kitchen.
"Eat as much as you can, there's plenty of meat."
Zheng Chenggong: "The lives of our people are getting better and better."
"The liberated serfs sing, and their songs of happiness spread far and wide."
At around four o'clock, Yan Xingguo and his friends left Li's house.
Li Mingqing and his wife sent them to the village entrance.
"Hubby, we can have another round of barbecue at home. Call Mom, Dad, and Big Brother over."
"I just asked Xiaohong to go and call them. I guess they're already eating at home."
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Li Mingqing was on his way back to the capital.
We arrived in the capital in the evening.
"Jiaxue, go to your parents' house. I have to go to the hospital tomorrow."
"OK."
Li Mingqing went to the store just to buy a meal.
When you go to your father-in-law's house, you have to bring in the most guests.
Qin Haiqing smiled from ear to ear: "We are all family, why do we need so many things? We have everything we need at home."
"Respect your parents."
Zhou Xiaowan said happily, "That's thoughtful."
Fang Wei stood aside awkwardly, too embarrassed to face the people of Jiangdong.
Qin Shiyu whispered, "Dad, there's no need to compare. My uncle has such a large business, carrying all this is just enough for him. Dad, there's no need to feel inferior."
"Stinky boy, are you here to finish off the enemy?"
He wanted to cry but had no tears. Comparing with others makes people angry. If you can't compete, you should just keep a calm mind.
Qin Zhenzhen: "Can you stand up straight? You got a promotion after all."
"I'm just a workshop team leader. What's there to brag about?"
"Tsk, I'm not asking you to show off, I'm telling you not to be discouraged. Hard work always pays off," she encouraged.
