Chapter 97 Can't Hold Back
Zhou Qiang never dreamed that he would have such delicious food in a farmer's house.
He just thought that Old Liu had not seen much of the world, so he spoke so exaggeratedly.
It was not until he smelled the fragrance that he realized it was not an exaggeration.
Now, he finally had the chance to try both the fish in noodles and the fish in oil.
Su Xiangqiao whispered a few words to Xiaofei.
Xiaofei took two pieces of fish and took Junrui to the room to play.
In order to make Zhou Qiang enjoy his meal, Su Xiangqiao not only asked Lin Li to eat with him, but she also sat down with him.
In this way, she could keep persuading Zhou Qiang to eat more while it was hot.
In fact, Zhou Qiang had already had breakfast, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the delicious food and just wanted to have a few bites.
As soon as he took a sip, he couldn't contain his inner ecstasy.
This is so delicious...
Why is it so delicious?
He was too embarrassed to wolf down the food, so he pretended to be calm and ate it slowly, one mouthful at a time.
But I couldn't stop eating it.
I was thinking, how can I have the nerve to waste so much food on someone else's meal on my first visit here?
But even though he was thinking this, his actions did not follow his command and he still wanted to eat non-stop.
Little did he know that his tangled inner world was clearly visible to Lin Li.
Lin Li originally didn't want to eavesdrop on Zhou Qiang's thoughts again, as she missed her sister-in-law's thoughts just now.
If she knew what her sister-in-law was thinking, she would be so shocked!
And now, she concentrated her mental strength to find out Zhou Qiang's true evaluation of the fish opposite and the oily fish.
After all, everyone has different tastes in food, but when visiting someone's home, everyone will compliment the host on how delicious the food is, even if they don't like it very much.
Lin Li just wanted to know the different opinions from different people so that he could improve his cooking skills.
As a result, I heard Zhou Qiang constantly contradicting himself, which was really funny.
If Zhou Qiang, who is very proud of himself, knew that his thoughts were heard by Lin Li, he would probably be so desperate that he would want to buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.
But Lin Li did not think that Zhou Qiang's greed was shameful to the world. Instead, he thought that this person was quite lovable.
I always thought Zhou Qiang was a cool person, but today, by eavesdropping on his inner thoughts, my impression of him was completely overturned.
The three of them ate half of a fish, and Zhou Qiang himself ate four pieces of fish.
He used the greatest willpower of his life to force himself to put down his chopsticks.
He smiled and said to Su Xiangqiao: "Sister-in-law, please take your time. I'm full. I'm really sorry. This is my first time here, and I didn't even bring any gifts, but I came to eat at your house... If my elders knew about this, they would definitely say that I don't know how to behave..."
Then he said to Lin Li: "Comrade Lin, please enjoy your meal. Thank you and your sister-in-law for your hospitality."
Su Xiangqiao rolled her eyes in anger: "Xiao Zhou, what nonsense are you talking about? You can give face to my sister-in-law and don't mind the meal she cooked. It's my sister-in-law's honor!"
"Sister-in-law, don't be so modest. Your cooking skills are really comparable to those of the chefs in the city." Zhou Qiang took the towel handed to him by his sister-in-law and wiped his hands.
Su Xiangqiao laughed and said, "How can it be that my cooking is delicious? Didn't you just hear what Old Liu said? The god chef in my family is my sister-in-law, Lili! I have inherited her true skills, but I haven't fully mastered the essence of cooking yet!"
"I didn't expect that Comrade Lin Li is so versatile," Zhou Qiang took the opportunity to praise Lin Li again, "I have always felt that Comrade Lin is a very talented female comrade, and now it has finally been confirmed."
Su Xiangqiao finally heard Zhou Qiang praising her sister-in-law, and she was delighted.
She quickly and tactfully made the next invitation: "Next time Officer Zhou comes, let my sister-in-law cook a meal for you to taste."
Zhou Qiang was naturally happy, but he still wanted to talk nonsense: "That's great, I'm just worried that my position is not high enough to let Comrade Lin cook for me personally."
Su Xiangqiao scolded: "Look at you, young man. You are so likable, but you only know how to say stupid things."
At this time, Junrui in the room missed his mother and refused to play with Xiaofei in the room. Instead, he insisted on going into the house to find his mother.
Xiaofei kept stopping him.
He just kept crying, and Zhou Qiang quickly got up and walked out. Su Xiangqiao couldn't stop him, so he had to follow him out.
Zhou Qiang picked up Junrui from the yard and carried him into the house while coaxing him.
Xiaofei sighed like an adult, then went back to his room to do his homework.
Su Xiangqiao smiled and teased Junrui a few times.
They say little Junrui is so lucky that he always lets the police officer hold him.
Su Xiangqiao wanted to take the child over, but Zhou Qiang refused.
He sat down with the child in his arms and coaxed the child to eat.
Su Xiangqiao also sat down and said in an approachable way: "I think that Officer Zhou and my little Junrui are really destined to be together! Then I won't call you Officer Zhou. That's too formal. I'll just call you Xiao Zhou."
Zhou Qiang immediately showed his joy: "I like dealing with straightforward people like my sister-in-law..."
Lin Li, who was eating and watching the excitement, said: "Did these two reach a consensus so quickly? They are both talkative indeed. 】
As a result, the next second, Lin Li saw the excitement coming towards him.
Su Xiangqiao said to Lin Li, "Li Li, next time when Officer Zhou comes to visit, why don't you cook for him? Let him have a taste of your cooking skills..."
Lin Li: “…”
Su Xiangqiao didn't even wait for Lin Li to digest her words before she said to Zhou Qiang, "Comrade Zhou, why don't you stay at noon? Didn't you say you were off duty today? Have lunch and dinner at my house before leaving."
Zhou Qiang was embarrassed: "I have already enjoyed a delicious meal, how can I stay here and not leave?"
"Why should I be embarrassed? I think you are very honest. I will definitely make you my friend!"
"I also think my sister-in-law is a straightforward person. I like to deal with straightforward people..."
Lin Li: “…”
Isn't it too fast to make friends?
No wonder people like to discuss business at banquet tables.
Is it easier for people to develop feelings over meals?
But at this moment, suddenly the voice of Old Liu came from the yard again: "Hey, sister-in-law! I brought another rare guest!"
Then Old Liu said to the other two people, "Don't be so timid, both of you. Come in! What are you embarrassed about? We rural people admire you the most, the people's police who serve the people! Your colleague Officer Zhou was not so polite when he came here..."
When Zhou Qiang heard this, his heart skipped a beat!
When he came out, he knew that his two colleagues were coming for a check-up, but they only knew that he was off duty and did not know that he had also come to Sanhe Village.
Now he is a little flustered.
He didn't want to be caught by his two colleagues at all. He was really at a loss and didn't care about his face anymore, so he hid in the small room.
Then he whispered to Su Xiangqiao outside: "I'm so sorry, sister-in-law, I don't want my two colleagues to know that I'm here... Can you help me..."
The more he spoke, the less confident he became.
He even had a meal at someone else's house, but he did it in secret and was not generous at all.
People who don’t know him might think he feels embarrassed coming here.
He really didn't know how to explain it.
As it turned out, Su Xiangqiao was very generous.
Su Xiangqiao readily agreed: "Okay, I'll tell you that if you're not here, you'll find a way to get them out of here."
Old Liu has already walked in with the two policemen.
But I saw only my aunt, sister-in-law and Junrui in the room.
