When Chen Jianguo, Chen's father, came back, several people in the family were waiting for them to eat together, except for Xiaobao, who was drooling with greed, who just sat passively on the stool and kept shouting "Dad!"
"I'm back. I've been waiting for you. Come and sit down!" Chen's mother greeted them quickly when she saw them coming back.
"Just eat first!" Although Father Chen said it nicely, several people could see that he was not sincere.
"꾿, if it weren't for the grandchildren, do you think we would want to wait?" Chen's mother said angrily, refusing to admit that she had never even picked up the chopsticks.
Niu Niu and Dabao looked confused, wondering how this had anything to do with them. However, seeing how happy Grandpa looked, they were smart and said nothing.
Chen Jianguo sat next to Su Xia and whispered, "Eat first next time, don't wait for me!"
Su Xia rolled her eyes. It wasn't that she wanted to wait, but she still had these children. Thinking of this, she really wanted to slap these children in the face. She had been taking care of them for so long in vain. Their biological father hadn't been back for half an hour, and they all leaned towards that side.
"Grandpa, Dad is back, can we have dinner now?" Dabao reminded the adults.
The four adults then started to eat, with two large bowls of pig-killing dishes on the table.
There was also a plate of thinly sliced meat, a whole plate of blood sausage, and mashed garlic.
To be honest, this meal is not available in the entire county.
"The ones raised at home are still the best!" Father Chen said with emotion after eating several pieces of meat and taking a sip of wine.
In fact, ever since I started eating with my old family, I have never lacked oil and water. The meat I buy in the county town is not as delicious as the meat raised at home.
"That's right. The meat in the county town is always very skinny, not as fat as ours." Mother Chen was very enthusiastic about the pigs she raised.
It is no exaggeration to say that he poured his heart and soul into it.
Niu Niu and Dabao didn't even raise their heads while eating. Their little mouths were full of oil. Su Xia fed them two pieces of meat in a row and didn't dare to feed them anymore because children have weak stomachs.
괗Bao's face was puzzled at first, and he looked at Su Xia, "Mom?"
Su Xia shook her head, "No more!"
괗Bao frowned and looked at Chen Jianguo, "Dad?"
Chen Jianguo immediately lowered his head, not daring to look. Xiaobao looked at Chen's father and mother, but neither of them dared to look at him.
괗Bao looked at Niuniu and Dabao again. The two of them were even more afraid. Su Xia moved his dizzy head over in a bad mood and started to feed him, "Eat the meat tomorrow. If you don't listen, you'll be beaten!"
괗Bao blinked, ate a mouthful, and looked at the rice in the small bowl with shining eyes. The little person was puzzled, "Why does the rice taste like meat?"
The others at the table laughed again, and Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Is the rice not delicious? It was specially made for Xiaobao with rice and vegetable soup. They still ate steamed buns.
The whole family enjoyed the meal very happily. Although we were really tired, we were eating meat, so what did it matter if we were a little tired?
I don't know if Su Xia's family is happy. The old house is big, and Ming and they can raise pigs. There are not many, just two will do. That way, there will be money for one pig. If there are 200 left, they will be excited.
The custom in the village of buying meat is that every family discusses how to eat it, and in the end they all agree on making dumplings.
At the captain's house, Zhao Yulin was a rare helper. Li Xiulian looked at her clumsy appearance and sighed.
"Take your time. The matchmaker will be here the day after tomorrow, so you better be quiet."
It was more of a threat than an instruction. Zhao Yulin bit his lip and paused in his movements.
"Mom, I still like Zhou Zhiqing!"
Li Xiu Lian immediately started to think about it. She really wanted to take her daughter's brain apart to see what was inside.
"You like him, but do he like you?"
Teacher Zhao's face turned pale. She had been to the Youth League Home many times. At first, they didn't know about it and were very polite to her.
It was ever since she met Zhou Zhiqing alone one time and expressed her feelings for him.
I thought it was a beautiful love, but I didn't expect Zhou Zhiqing to be surprised and directly reject it.
"Teacher Zhao, my family has already decided on my marriage. We are not suitable."
Zhao Yulin still remembers that she couldn't hear anything at the time. She looked at Zhou Zhiqing with disbelief on her face, and she didn't even know when the tears fell.
Zhao Yulin looked at his mother, and the dissatisfaction in his heart seemed to burst out immediately.
"Mom, Dad is the team leader, won't you help me?" She learned from Song Zhiqing that the introduction letters for educated youths returning to the city all passed through the village, so isn't that in her father's hands?
Li Xiulian was puzzled. Listen to what these words said, these were spoken by a daughter. Besides, if Lao Zhao was really that kind of person, it would be fine. The key point was that their family was not like that. They were just ordinary people with the same surname.
Bang—it was not until a slap sounded that Zhao Yulin and Li Xiu Lian woke up.
One is that he doesn't believe he will be loved, and the other is that he doesn't believe he will love his daughter.
Li Xiulian withdrew her hand, not caring about the pain, and said to her daughter fiercely, "If you dare to go to the Youth Home again, I will send you directly to your uncle's house!"
.....
Zhao Yulin's eyes widened, then he ran back to his room, threw himself on the bed and started crying loudly.
Li Xiulian was in no mood to make dumplings and sat there alone.
Zhou Jingyun from the Youth Academy is still unaware that Teacher Zhao, who is interested in him, has been seduced by the captain's wife.
Several people happily discussed how to improve the food.
"By the way, why don't we see Song Zhiqing?" Cao Zhenping said unintentionally, and the few people realized that there was no one there.
Wei Qiaolan trotted to the next bedroom, found no one there, turned around and shrugged.
"If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. Besides, we bought the meat with our own money, why should we give it to her?" Zhao Song was unhappy. He hadn't eaten it all yet.
The others looked at the oldest one. Zhou Jingyun's mouth twitched. Why was he the bad guy again?
"Okay, let's ignore her for now. Let's eat first and not her rations."
"Yeah, come on...let's cook together." Wei Qiaolan happily started to make arrangements.
Others were happy, but Song Wenyu, who was being missed, almost fell to the ground when he walked to the county town alone.
He hated the villagers, Su Xia, and the other four educated youths even more. He gritted his teeth, found someone to listen, and then went to the post office and then to other places.
The Su Xia family secretly made lard, never expecting that someone had evil intentions and even put them into action.
Song Wenyu came out of the reporting office with a gloating look on his face, "Su Xia, blame yourself for being so lucky. I can't wait to destroy it!"
People who just say they are jealous are jealous no matter what.
When I got back to the Youth House in the village, my stomach was growling with hunger. I saw that other people’s mouths were full of oil and they didn’t leave any for me.
Song Wenyu completely exploded, "Why didn't you cook for me?"
The four of them were stunned, and it was Zhou Jingyun who spoke up, "Song Zhiqing, you didn't tell us where you were going. How do we know if you'll eat?"
Song Wenyu looked at several people in disbelief and wanted to refute, but his empty stomach made him completely exhausted.
Wei Qiaolan picked her teeth with a thorn, and was annoyed by her pretending to be pitiful.
"We bought the meat ourselves. You didn't pay for it, so of course there's no share for you!"
Song Wenyu glared at her, then glanced at the two men, looked away one by one, flicked his sleeves, and went straight back to the room.
Humph - "You have the body of a maid, and you still want to be a lady!" Wei Qiaolan complained angrily.
"Okay, after all, we are all educated youth, there is no need to make things too awkward!" Zhou Jingyun persuaded, but his face still showed his doting on Wei Qiaolan.
Cao Zhenping and Zhao Song
Looking at each other, they found that they were indeed biased. However, they really couldn't get along with Song Wenyu, so naturally they wouldn't take her side.
Song Wenyu, who was lying in the room, was a little worried about reporting the entire village and the Youth League Home, but now she is glad that she made the report.
"Hmph—let's see if you'll still be happy tomorrow."
The county reporting office found the report letter in the afternoon and naturally took it seriously.
"Okay, let's go directly tomorrow."
When the others heard this, they were delighted. If they were found out, they would be found to have received kickbacks.
