Chapter 427 Five Roast Chickens
Ye Mingzhu touched his head and asked, "Have you been good with Uncle Yan these days?"
"Of course I listened to you. I got up early every morning to practice boxing and read every day. I also gave Uncle Yan an idea, and Uncle Yan said I helped him a lot."
Green Bean said proudly.
Ye Yun'an said unconvincedly: "You are just a blind cat catching a dead mouse."
"Uncle Yan said that it was all thanks to me. He also said that I worked hard and was better at boxing than you." Green Bean shook his head and looked at Ye Yun'an with provocation in his eyes.
"You're talking as if no one has worked hard." Ye Yun'an's voice was filled with dissatisfaction and unwillingness. He looked up at Jiang Hongyu and said, "Brother-in-law, I really tried my best."
"Yes, Yun'an has indeed worked hard." Uncle Yan came in from outside and confirmed Ye Yun'an's words.
"Yun'an and Luodou are both good kids. Thanks to them, we were able to solve the problem that was bothering us this time." Uncle Yan verified what Luodou had just said.
Green Bean raised his head, his eyes full of pride.
"Ludou is such a good kid." Ye Mingzhu praised him generously, and said softly to Ye Yun'an, "Yun'an has also worked hard during this period. He is a good kid."
Only then did a smile appear on Ye Yun'an's face.
"We bought snacks and some cooked food." Ye Mingzhu took out the paper bag that Jiang Hongyu had been holding in his hand.
"I just said I smelled the aroma of roast chicken." Luodou's eyes lit up and followed the paper bag in Jiang Hongyu's hand.
"Okay, take it and eat it." Jiang Hongyu asked Ye Yunan and Lu Dou to take the paper bag into the house, and then called Uncle Yan to come over and eat together.
Ye Yun'an and Luodou were both sensible and good children. They opened the paper package but did not eat it immediately. Instead, they asked Uncle Yan, Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu what they wanted to eat. The three adults shook their heads, and then the two of them each tore off a piece of chicken and started eating.
"What's that fragrance? It's so good, little green bean. You were enjoying delicious food and didn't even call me." I knew it was Xiaowu who was speaking just by the voice.
Green Bean ate the meat faster and almost choked. Ye Mingzhu quickly patted him twice and said, "Why are you eating so fast? There's still plenty there. No one is trying to snatch it from you."
Green Bean stretched his neck to swallow the meat in his mouth, then said aggrievedly: "Brother Xiaowu always snatches my chicken legs."
The room suddenly became dark, and Xiaowu came in from outside. He just happened to hear these words, and his face was full of embarrassment.
"I told you not to tease children. Look, the child took it seriously." Yu Jiaming came in with him and looked at him with amusement.
The embarrassment on Xiaowu's face became more obvious: "I, I was just joking with Ludou."
He took two quick steps, walked up to Green Bean, and squatted down: "Little Green Bean, I was just joking with you that time. Did I buy you a chicken drumstick later?"
Green Bean was only focused on eating the chicken leg and ignored him.
After finishing the food in his mouth, Green Bean pointed at him and accused him: "But you ate my chicken leg. I picked up that one chicken leg, and you snatched it away."
Xiao Wu didn't expect Green Bean to hold such a grudge. He tried to explain: "I bought you a chicken drumstick later, and you said you forgave me."
"But it's a fact that you stole my chicken leg." Green Bean was not moved at all.
"I'll buy you two more chicken legs. Can you please stop talking about this?"
"No, this is the truth."
"Three, no, five chicken legs, okay? I was just joking with you the other day."
Green Bean hesitated for a moment before saying, "Five roast chickens, and I'll forgive you. I won't mention this again."
Xiao Wu only heard the word "five" and nodded in agreement: "Deal."
The onlookers couldn't help laughing. Xiao Wu thought about it carefully and grabbed Luo Dou's ear: "You are so brave, you dare to trick me."
"You said it yourself, buy me five roast chickens." Green Bean said seriously.
Ye Mingzhu had already seen a smile in Xiaowu's eyes. He was deliberately joking with Xiaowu.
"Okay, it was my fault that I had to tease you that day." Xiao Wu was helpless and could only agree to this unequal treaty.
He didn't forget to explain to the people in the house: "Green Bean helped us that day. I went to the street to buy two roast chickens. He said he didn't want to eat it anymore, so I took it to my mouth to eat. I didn't expect him to turn around and say he wanted to eat it. But I had already eaten it by then. I really didn't mean to steal his chicken legs."
Everyone in the room nodded with smiles in their eyes, indicating that they believed him. Xiaowu wanted to continue explaining, but Yu Jiaming, unable to bear his foolishness, interrupted him: "Okay, everyone knows it now. You didn't steal Green Bean's roast chicken, so you lost to Green Bean."
It was obvious that Little Green Bean was trying to trick him, but he actually wanted to explain to Green Bean.
All the adults in the room noticed it, and he was probably the only one who didn't.
When Lvdou heard Yu Jiaming talking, he hid behind Ye Mingzhu. Ye Mingzhu tapped his nose lightly and said, "You, why don't you apologize to Brother Xiaowu?"
"I don't," Green Bean shook his head. "It was obviously Brother Xiaowu who stole my chicken legs. He was the one who promised to buy me five roast chickens."
Xiao Wu had already reacted during the conversation between the two. He let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly: "I really should give Green Bean a chicken drumstick."
Everyone in the room burst into laughter, and Green Bean shook his head proudly.
Yu Jiaming called a yamen runner from outside and asked him to notify the kitchen to make some sweet water for Ye Yunan and mung beans to eat with snacks.
The two men looked at each other, took some snacks and cooked food, and followed the yamen runners.
Yu Jiaming then talked about the follow-up of the gold mine incident. Green Bean did help them inadvertently, allowing them to solve the problem more quickly.
"I've also reported Hongyu's contribution. Logically, there should be a reward, but the gold mine isn't producing much gold right now. If Hongyu wants a promotion, I think he'll have to wait a while."
Yu Jiaming expressed his guess, which was similar to what Jiang Hongyu thought.
"But don't worry, as long as I'm here, the gold mine will be fine." Yu Jiaming assured Jiang Hongyu.
"Uncle Yan has also helped us during this period, and I also wrote a memorial."
Uncle Yan shook his head indifferently: "I'm old now, and I don't care about these things anymore. I just want to finish my work as soon as possible and go home to rest. It's better for the credit to go to you."
That being said, Yu Jiaming would definitely not hide Uncle Yan's contribution.
If Uncle Yan really doesn't want it, then it can be blamed on Jiang Hongyu.
Seeing that the things they were talking about were becoming more and more confidential, Ye Mingzhu stood up and said, "I'm going to sit in the yard."
Jiang Hongyu looked at her and nodded.
She had been to this yard several times. There was almost nothing there except a few trees, so she simply sat down under the porch.
"Brother, I found a really delicious dim sum shop and I want to buy it." Someone walked in from outside and shouted.
