Chapter 86: Arrangement Expert
"Mengmeng, please introduce these to me. Are these all your friends?" Li Wen saw people coming in and out to help and he couldn't get a word in, so he thought of asking his sister to introduce them to him first.
"Look at me, I had forgotten about it." Li Meng slapped his forehead and quickly pulled Li Wen to introduce him.
"This is my good friend and roommate, Wu Ruirui"
"That's right, we are from the same place, his name is Zhou Hui"
"This is Li Laidi and Wang Fang, they are also educated youth, they are very caring to me,"
"This is my second uncle's cousin. He is in the army. He is older than you. You can just call him Brother Li," Li Meng introduced to Li Wen while pulling him aside.
Several people greeted each other. After all, Li Wen was older than them and was good at chatting. He chatted enthusiastically every time. People of all ages have a special liking for soldiers, so Li Wen quickly integrated into the small group.
When the team leader arrived, Li Meng introduced him to the team leader individually. Li Wen was also very considerate and stuffed two packs of cigarettes into the team leader's pocket, thanking him for taking care of his sister, which made the team leader smile with great joy.
Li Meng's brother was as capable as she was. He knew that he just liked the cigarette, and this cigarette was enough for him to show off for a long time. Farmers all smoked dry tobacco, and they were reluctant to buy this cigarette, not to mention having money and tickets. It was still difficult to buy it, so the captain was pleased.
After a lively conversation, Li Wen was already dizzy from hearing the captain call him "uncle".
Not to mention Aunt Ma's family, they were also smiling so hard that their teeth were showing, and they even insisted that Li Wen must come to her house for lunch at noon.
After Dali finished moving the things in the car, he was about to go back.
"Brother Dali, take this and share it with the brothers." Li Meng quietly took out a cigarette and stuffed it under the seat of Dali's ox cart.
"Sister Li, you are being too formal, aren't you? It's just a piece of cake, but look at what you've done..." Dali's sharp eyes had already seen that this girl was spending a lot of money for a cigarette, and he was not a short-sighted person, so he didn't want to accept it.
Li Meng held down Dali's hand as he tried to lift the cushion to get a cigarette.
"It's not easy for us brothers to travel this far, Dali brother, just take it. We are counting on you brothers to take care of us when we get back to the warehouse."
After hearing what Li Meng said, Dali stopped hesitating and thanked Li Meng before driving back in the empty car.
After walking for a while, Dali opened the cigarette packs and gave two packs to each person.
"This Li Zhiqing has a good relationship with Sister Hong. In the future, the brothers will follow her to drink and eat meat. Keep your eyes open and go to the house where the goods are picked up more often. It will be beneficial, understand?"
Several people said in unison that they understood. They were given 2 packs of cigarettes for each trip and were required to take good care of them in the future. There would be many benefits. This led to the younger brothers rushing to go when they went to pick up the goods.
The house has also been tidied up. Wu Ruirui is very satisfied looking at the room he has decorated.
"Mengmeng, look, do you like what I arranged? If you don't like it, I'll ask Zhou Hui to move it." Wu Ruirui looked at Li Meng with an expression seeking praise. If he had a tail, it would definitely wag behind him.
"Not bad, very good, I like it. I knew it would be the right thing to entrust this to you," Li Meng praised.
Hearing Li Meng's praise, Wu Ruirui smiled even more brightly.
"Brother, how many days can you stay here?" Li Meng turned around and asked Li Wen.
"We're leaving like this the day after tomorrow afternoon, what's wrong? Sister, is there anything you want me to do?" Li Wen looked at his sister in confusion.
"I told the village before that we would hold a house-warming party, so let's schedule it for the day after tomorrow. Can you drive us to town tomorrow? Don't worry, I can get the gasoline, and I will definitely not take advantage of the army. Is that okay with you?"
"Okay, then. Let's bring back everything else we need." Li Wen didn't ask his sister how she got the gasoline. Anyway, he trusted his sister.
"Actually, I came here this time because I want to ask you for help with something." Li Wen told him about the meat sauce that was sent to him last time. His leader was very good to him and valued him very much, so he liked to eat it, so he wanted to ask the girl to make a few more bottles for him, and he would buy the pork.
"Brother Li, you may not know this, but you don't have to buy this meat. Mengmeng caught the wild boar herself last time. We can go up the mountain in the afternoon and get the meat. Why buy it?" Li Laidi said.
"What, you can hunt too?" Li Wen was stunned. There were so many things about this girl that he didn't know.
"Sister Lai Di is right. We will need meat at the banquet anyway, so let's all go and take Dandan with us," Wu Ruirui also suggested.
Li Meng thought about it and agreed, and told a few people that they would go after lunch in the afternoon.
At noon, several people had lunch in the new house. Wang Fang and Li Laidi ran back to bring their own lunch rations. They couldn't always eat Li Meng's food. Wang Fang also brought the bacon that she hadn't eaten, and they just had to fry it for lunch.
Several people divided the work and cooperated. Li Meng ran to the captain's house and asked the captain to host the house-warming party the day after tomorrow. She asked the captain to help her notify several aunts who were on good terms with her to come and sit together. The captain happily agreed. The captain's wife also gave her some potatoes and dried mushrooms to take back as a side dish for lunch. Li Meng thanked him and took them, and told the captain's wife that they would drive to town tomorrow, and those who wanted to take a car should go together tomorrow.
The captain's wife quickly said that she wanted to go. She had never worked on a large truck before. Excitedly said that he would definitely go tomorrow.
Aunt Ma Li Meng was also notified and excitedly expressed that she would go there early tomorrow morning.
Lanhua took out half a pheasant and handed it to Li Meng as a snack for her lunch. Li Meng took it without hesitation.
As soon as she left, Aunt Ma's family was in an uproar. Everyone wanted to follow her on the bus the next day, and Aunt Ma was given a headache by the noise.
When Li Meng came back, it was naturally Li Meng who took charge of cooking. She also cut up the canned pheasant stewed with mushrooms and stir-fried it with cabbage, spicy and sour potato shreds, fried eggs with tomatoes, and fried bacon with wild vegetables.
Li Wen, who was chopping wood in the yard, smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen and his stomach growled.
When the dishes were served, Li Meng called out to wash their hands and eat. Everyone put down their work and went into the kitchen to prepare for dinner.
There is a well in the yard, which makes it convenient for washing. The land in the backyard has also been turned over by Li Laidi and Wang Fang, who said that they would leave it for her to grow some vegetables so that Li Meng can eat them conveniently in the future.
"Brother, stop being in a daze and eat." Li Meng first picked up a piece of pheasant mushroom for his brother and invited him to eat.
"Girl, when did you learn this skill? It's so delicious."
Li Wen was amazed after taking a bite, and then he started to eat with relish. People usually eat fast in the army, and this time he really devoured the food in no time.
Several people did the same, all getting into the rhythm and starting to eat. They had agreed to go into the mountains in the afternoon, so it would be a good idea to eat enough.
"Sister Meng, Liu Shu and the others just said they also want to go into the mountains for a walk. Let's change direction then. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will disturb our prey." Zhou Hui was eating the rice in the bowl, and was still thinking about getting more meat in the mountains in the afternoon, fearing that it would be snatched away by others.
