"A stewed wild rabbit, a small pheasant stewed with mushrooms, a dish of three fresh vegetables, a tofu with green onions, and four bowls of white rice."
Facing Gao Dakuan's inquiring gaze, Yang Baiyi didn't hesitate and came with one as well.
As for pork stewed with vermicelli and pork stewed with sauerkraut, Yang Baiyi did not order them. To be honest, he was already tired of eating pork.
After ordering the dishes, Yang Baiyi habitually took out the bills from his pocket.
Since he traveled through time, except for the few times when Lin Xiao invited him to eat mutton hotpot when he returned to Luoshui City to visit relatives, he never let others treat him to a meal at other times.
"Leader, you dare not do this. Before we set off, County Magistrate Song repeatedly instructed me to ensure that you have good food and drink along the way.
If I let you pay the bill, County Magistrate Song will definitely criticize me."
Gao Dakuan quickly moved sideways and stood between Yang Baiyi and the waiter.
"Okay, I won't fight with you."
Yang Baiyi knew that if he rushed to pay the bill, and considering that Qingxuzi was still investigating in Hailin County, Song Jiaoyang would definitely be worried and unable to sleep.
"Comrade, that's twelve yuan in total, two pounds of meat coupons, and one pound of grain coupons."
For the waiter, it didn't matter who paid the bill. He took the bill from Gao Dakuan and looked at Yang Baiyi curiously.
It was not difficult to hear from Gao Dakuan's tone that it was unbelievable that this young man was of a higher rank than the county magistrate.
"Boss, please take a seat first. I'll go out and refuel the car. We can leave right after we finish our meal."
Gao Dakuan found a seat for Yang Baiyi and the other two to sit down, and then he went out to refuel the car, filling up both the gasoline and the engine oil.
After refueling, Gao Dakuan did not go into the house, but took out a cigarette from his pocket and leaned against the car door, puffing out smoke.
"Comrade Gao Dakuan, come and have dinner after you finish smoking."
Two vegetarian dishes and rice have been served, and the hare and pheasant are also stewing in the pot.
"Leader, you guys eat first, I'll just have a quick bite later."
Gao Dakuan has worked in Hailin County for more than ten years, and has served three county governors.
In his experience, no leader would ever like a driver who lacked sense of propriety.
Don't be silly and take it seriously when someone says something polite.
"Stop talking nonsense. Finish your cigarettes and come over to eat with us. You can eat after we finish. How long will it take? We have to get to Chenjiatun before dark."
Yang Baiyi is different from others. He never thinks he is superior, and never divides people into different classes.
Not to mention the car driver who has a formal job, even Wang Zhichao, who rides a tricycle, Yang Baiyi can still eat at the same table with him.
"It's okay, boss. I eat quickly and won't be late for the journey. I will definitely reach Chenjiatun before dark."
Gao Dakuan waved his hand and said.
Gao Dakuan has always eaten very quickly, a habit he developed when he was in the army.
"If you're told to eat with me, come quickly. This is an order."
"yes."
Gao Dakuan quickly threw away his cigarette butt and stood at attention to answer.
Yang Baiyi finally discovered that when dealing with a man who had served in the military, an order was more effective than any words.
Because they still had half the journey to go, they didn't rest for long after the meal. They went to the toilet and set off again.
The sun rises early and sets early in the Northeast. Gao Dakuan hurried and finally arrived at Chenjiatun just as it was getting dark.
The dogs who were bored in the doghouse suddenly stood up from the ground.
His nose twitched and a glint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“Woof woof woof…”
Five dogs rushed out of the kennel and ran quickly towards the gate.
"What happened to Da Huang?"
Han Fei hurried out to check, and there was a little tail following him.
"Could it be that wolves or wild boars have entered the village again?"
Li Xue also followed him out of the main room and looked worriedly at the direction where Dahuang and the others left.
When the mountains are covered with heavy snow, it is not uncommon for hungry wild boars and wolves to run into the village in search of food.
"It shouldn't be. It's not dark yet."
"It's cold, take Lele back to the house quickly. Ordinary wild beasts are no match for Dahuang and his gang."
Last winter, a group of hungry wild boars sneaked into the village and were all bitten to death by Da Huang and his companions. The villagers all had a good New Year.
"Brother, it's Da Huang and the others who are here to pick us up."
Yang Xiaoxiao, who was in the back seat, saw the dogs running towards the car through the car window.
The dogs ran very fast, and as they ran, their paws raised clouds of snow.
"Yes, I see. Comrade Gao Dakuan, please stop for a moment. My dogs are coming out to pick me up."
Looking at the dogs running towards them, a smile appeared on Yang Baiyi's face.
As soon as Yang Baiyi got out of the car, the dogs surrounded him, barking and jumping, their big furry tails wagging high.
The excited barking of the dogs alarmed several members of the nearby commune who were having lunch, and some of them walked out of their homes with their bowls of rice.
"Doctor Yang, Lin Zhiqing, you're back?"
"Doctor Yang, is your car on fire? Why is there so much smoke?"
"Xiao Xiao, are you on holiday already? We haven't had our holiday yet!"
The members gathered around and greeted each other warmly.
"I'm back. I missed you all so I came to see you while I was free."
“Aunt Guihua, the car didn’t catch fire, it’s just a little old and burning some oil.”
…
Yang Baiyi smiled gently, and he would respond to every member who greeted him.
"Alright, alright, everyone, please go away. Doctor Yang just arrived and hasn't gone home yet!"
Chen Baiwang walked over with his hands behind his back.
"Captain, we'll go back first. Please call the old branch secretary and have a drink together later."
This time, Xiao Qingyang specifically asked him to bring some things for Chen Baiwang and Chen Dahe, so that he could give them to them together later.
"Okay, I'll go call Uncle Dahe right away."
After greeting everyone, Yang Baiyi led the group home, and Gao Dakuan followed behind in a jeep that was emitting black smoke.
Along the way, the dogs excitedly led the way, and from time to time they looked back at Yang Baiyi to see if their owner was keeping up.
"Lele, your aunt is here to see you."
As soon as she entered the courtyard, the little girl shouted towards the main hall.
"Aunt, godfather, godmother, Lele misses you all."
The little guy was the first to rush out of the house. He didn't even have time to put on his hat, and there was corn paste stuck at the corners of his mouth.
"Bai Yi, Wan Ru, you're back!"
Han Fei and Li Xue were also surprised. They had just been to Chenjiatun after the Chinese New Year, and they didn't expect to come back again in such a short time.
"Captain Han, Sister Li Xue, we have finished setting up the yard in Sucheng and are thinking of bringing Dahuang and the others over."
Yang Baiyi bent down, picked up Lele, and pinched his chubby little face.
“Woof woof woof…”
The dogs completely understood what Yang Baiyi said and jumped up and down with excitement. Their owner was finally going to keep them by his side.
"Come in, I'll cook for you."
Li Xue asked everyone to go into the house quickly, and she went to the kitchen.
