Chapter 137: Eating a Big Dinner



"Li Lihua said that she would not show us her papers in the future. If the above subjects are tested during the exam, wouldn't we be in great trouble?" He Wei said in pain.

Lin Xiaofang frowned: "Why don't you give it to me?"

"What else could it be? She hated us for helping Yang Zhaozhao find the child, so she deliberately targeted us. She named all the dozen people who went with us."

The college entrance examination is He Wei's only way out. With only more than three months left before the exam, he feels uncertain.

"What should we do? Should I go and beg her?" Lin Xiaofang was also anxious. After all, they were counting on leaving this farm after the college entrance examination, and they wanted to go back to the city.

"It's no use begging!" He Wei sighed.

Yang Zhaozhao happened to be standing outside the door. She listened to their weak conversation openly. She didn't expect that Li Lihua still needed to be punished at this time.

I know that I have implicated He Wei and the others, and I also know how important the college entrance examination is to them.

At this moment, the silence and helplessness in the room gave Yang Zhaozhao an idea.

After knocking on the door, Yang Zhaozhao asked, "Is Sister Xiaofang home?"

"Here!" Lin Xiaofang wiped the tears from her face, opened the door and looked at Yang Zhaozhao, forcing out a flattering smile: "Zhaozhao is here!"

"I'm bringing you something!" Yang Zhaozhao walked into the room, pretending not to see her crying eyes, and giving Lin Xiaofang some dignity: "The milk powder should be enough for two months."

"Oh, it looks good!" Lin Xiaofang looked at a large bag of milk powder and a can of milk powder. It looked very expensive: "How much...how much?"

"Thirty in total."

Lin Xiaofang was stunned for a moment: "Really thirty?"

Knowing that Yang Zhaozhao didn't tell the truth, Lin Xiaofang couldn't let Yang Zhaozhao suffer any loss, as milk powder was so expensive and hard to come by now. "Zhaozhao, tell me the truth, how much it is. I can't let you suffer any loss."

Yang Zhaozhao did not hide it and said, "Seventeen dollars."

"Tai, I'll give you the money. Don't do this next time. It's how much it is. I'm already very grateful that you bought it for me!" Lin Xiaofang took out a cloth bag.

Inside were their belongings, a total of more than 170 yuan, which they gave to 17, leaving only a little over 100 yuan.

It's only enough milk powder for the baby for four months.

If Niu Niu wasn’t so thin, I wouldn’t be willing to spend this little money on milk powder.

Thinking about how she had little milk and that other mothers in the village didn’t have enough milk either, she couldn’t give much to Niu Niu, so she could only spend money to buy milk powder.

Yang Zhaozhao took the money and said, "Let's go to my house for dinner tonight."

"I won't go. Let He Wei take over." One more person means one more food ration. She can just eat a potato at home.

It’s just the New Year and we haven’t planted any crops yet, so we have to eat sparingly.

One meal is a potato or sweet potato the size of a fist.

Drink water when you are hungry, and eat as long as you can.

Yang Zhaozhao: "Let's go together. If you don't go, I won't bring you milk powder in the future."

What can Lin Xiaofang do? She must go with them!

Li Lihua learned that Yang Zhaozhao was hosting a dinner party at home in the evening and had invited the educated youth who had helped find the child yesterday to have dinner together. This made many people jealous, and she was so angry that she smashed the enamel cup.

"Hmph, go tell those people that if they go to Yang Zhaozhao's place, they won't be able to see my test paper anymore. It's the closest to the college entrance examination questions. What if they guess right..."

I won’t let Li Lihua say the rest.

While those educated youth were eating and studying for their papers, many of them weighed the pros and cons and stood on Li Lihua's side even though they knew they were competing with her.

After He Wei and Lin Xiaofang knew about it, they hesitated for a moment. He Wei said, "Since you have agreed, you can't be absent. Even if I don't look at her paper, I can do a few more questions, read a few more pages of the book, and work hard. How can I not pass the exam?"

"Li Lihua's paper is not a standard test paper, so how can she control it?" After He Wei finished speaking, he took his wife and daughter and called a few educated youth who were having fun to go to Yang Zhaozhao's house together.

When some educated youth saw this, they asked, "Are you short of food? Don't you want the test papers?"

"One point difference in the college entrance examination can make a huge difference."

"Go ahead, go ahead. One less opponent for every one you go!"

A group of seven people arrived at Yang Zhaozhao's house amid their ridicule.

Yang Zhaozhao had almost finished preparing the dishes, and left the remaining few Northeastern dishes to Grandma Wang to cook, such as goose stewed in an iron pot and chicken stewed with mushrooms.

The hazel mushrooms were picked from the mountains last year. They are Grandma Wang’s specialty.

Yang Zhaozhao opened the door and greeted them with a smile: "Come in, why are there only a few of you? Where are the others?"

Several people were unhappy. Lin Xiaofang, as the only woman, said, "They have something, but they didn't come. They said they wanted to thank you for your kindness."

Yang Zhaozhao did not force it. When she came back from Lin Xiaofang's house, she found the educated youth one by one and invited them personally. Since they didn't want to come, she just accepted it out of courtesy.

"It's cold outside, come in quickly, the food will be ready soon!" Yang Zhaozhao took people to the living room, where there was a simple round table. It was no longer snowing that day.

But it was still a bit cold, so Yang Zhaozhao put a charcoal basin under the table to keep warm.

The first thing that attracted Lin Xiaofang and the others was the food on the table. They blinked, thinking they were seeing things, as the smell of meat filled their noses.

A plate of braised pork elbow, roast chicken, sliced ​​red sausage, three kinds of seafood, and a dish of fish stewed with tofu are all home-cooked dishes in Northeast China.

It's all meat.

A large bowl of canned fruit is used as a decoration, which makes people unable to take their eyes away.

They don't have this kind of custom even when celebrating the Chinese New Year.

Someone's stomach growled, breaking the silence.

Yang Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Hurry up and sit down. There is also a goose stewed in an iron pot. Eat it first, otherwise the food will get cold and taste bad."

Li Yiling had not spent much time with them, but for Yang Zhaozhao's sake, he warmly invited them to sit down and took out a bottle of white wine.

The glass bottle looked ordinary, but once it was opened, the aroma of the liquor was so unforgettable that people present could not forget the taste for more than ten years.

It was not until they drank Moutai later that they found the original taste.

I have to sigh that Yang Zhaozhao and his friends were rich, as they could drink Moutai at that time.

Lin Xiaofang did not want to sit with a group of drinking men, so she accompanied Cui Nai and Xiao Cui, and sat on the kang with Niuniu. The dishes were the same as those on the big table.

Yang Zhaozhao took out steamed buns, dumplings, and white rice.

You can eat whatever you want. If you want noodles, you can also eat noodles.

Lin Xiaofang looked at the ten bowls of food and white rice, and felt like crying: "You are spending too much. Who can afford to eat like this?"

"Don't worry, you won't go hungry. Since I can afford it, I can afford it." Yang Zhaozhao picked up a piece of braised pork for Lin Xiaofang.

The stewed pork belly is tender and has the right amount of fat and lean meat. It is very satisfying when you take a bite.

In the era of food and meat shortage, fatty meat is the most popular. After taking a bite, everyone will feel sick and anxious.

The men were eating and drinking. Yang Zhaozhao asked Grandma Wang to sit down. The goose stewed in the iron pot was really delicious. Yang Zhaozhao ate a big goose leg without hesitation.

After eating and drinking, I asked Lin Xiaofang and found out that it was Li Lihua who caused those people not to come. She threatened them with the test paper and asked them not to associate with Yang Zhaozhao.

"How childish." Yang Zhaozhao despised.

"It's just a test paper. If you are interested, I also have a test paper. You can take it back and do the questions." Yang Zhaozhao washed his hands and went out.

"Material space, make me seven copies of the three years' college entrance examination and this year's mock exam papers." Yang Zhaozhao was repaying them for their loyalty.

If Lin Xiaofang and the others didn't come, wouldn't we be laughed at if we prepared a large table of food for everyone?

Li Lihua, right? I want to see, is it your paper or mine?

Material Space: [One dollar per copy, are you sure you want to make a copy?]

"piece?"

【right! 】

"copy!"

Damn, this is too expensive. How much does pork cost per pound?

Don't force me to buy a copier!
