Chapter 94: Wine Party
"Girl, you have already paid us, so you don't have to be polite to us. Just tell us what you want us to do," said a fat aunt who was the leader.
This aunt looks like a straightforward person, and seems to be very efficient in doing things.
Li Meng assigned the tasks without any hesitation, including chopping stuffing, cutting vegetables, making side dishes, lighting the fire, and washing vegetables.
The four aunties did not hesitate and started working directly.
Li Meng pulled the captain's wife over and stuffed an enamel basin into her hand.
"Aunt, uncle hasn't eaten yet, right? This is what I specially left for my uncle this morning. Please bring it back to my uncle. I'm counting on my uncle to come and help me at noon."
The captain's wife opened the lid and took a look. Wow, there were four fried eggs nestled on the fragrant noodles. The noodles were something she had never seen before, and the taste was very strong, making her drool.
"Auntie, go back quickly, otherwise the noodles will not taste good if they are bald," Li Meng urged.
"Oh, hey, kid, you don't know what your aunt can say to you. I'll go back first and come to help you later." After saying that, the captain's wife ran home.
She knew that the bowl of noodles this girl cooked was for two people, and there was also a portion for her. She had to say that this girl was really good at dealing with people and was open-minded.
"Hurry, hurry, this is what the cute girl asked me to bring you. Eat it quickly, or you'll get eaten." The captain's wife shouted to the captain who was still lying down as she entered the room.
"You are such a bad guy. Why are you taking other people's things again?" The team leader quickly got up from the kang and put on his clothes.
"What kind of noodles is this? It smells so good." The captain opened the lid and the room was filled with the aroma of noodles.
"Eat quickly," the captain's wife brought over the bowl and chopsticks, handed the chopsticks to the captain, and scooped some food for herself.
"It smells really good. When you go there later, remember to bring the eggs from home. They can be considered as a housewarming gift for the cute girl. Got it, old man?" the captain's wife instructed while eating.
"I know, I know, do you need to tell me that?"
The team leader and his wife were eating here, and the remaining few people in the Youth League Home were discussing whether to go over to congratulate them at noon. After all, they were all Youth League members, and bringing something over would be considered a congratulations.
"Did they invite you? You just rush over to join in the fun. It's really interesting." Liu Huan said with a look of disgust as he leaned against the door and ate melon seeds.
"After all, we are all educated youth. Even if they didn't call us, it would be better to go there now that we know about it. We are all in the same village and we will see each other sooner or later," said the old educated youth Wang Zhu.
Wang Zhu came to the countryside at the same time as Li Laidie. She doesn't like to hang out with people and just does her own thing. She never cares about other people's affairs. She can say this today because she heard Li Laidie and Wang Fang talking last night.
The old educated youth Wu Wen also agreed with what she said. When Liu Huan saw that someone agreed, she curled her lips and went into the room and ignored them. She was not going anyway, so whoever wanted to go could go.
Zhang Qiang and Liu Shu are hospitalized, and Yao Yuan is taking care of them. Now there are only three of them left in the Youth League Home. Wang Fang, Li Laidi and Zhou Hui passed away long ago. If these two pass away, Liu Huan will be the only one left in the Youth League Home.
Liu Huan got so angry when he thought about how he had to light a fire and cook while others were having lunch at noon.
"Sister Meng, do you think we have enough tables, chairs and benches? If not, I will go and borrow some from Brother Li." Zhou Hui arranged the tables and came over to report the situation to Li Meng.
"I'll go and take a look. I think there will be enough. I'll go after I fry the meatballs." Li Meng said as he put the last meatball in his hand into the oil pan, then washed his hands and came over to check the situation.
"That's enough. Go and clear away the stones on the roadside at the entrance later. I guess there will be a oxcart coming here soon and it will be difficult to park." Li Meng instructed Zhou Hui. Zhou Hui got the order and went out carrying the shovel.
"Mengmeng, I have boiled the hot water and made the tea. Is there anything else you want to do?" Wu Ruirui came over skipping.
"You and sister Lai Di go put the melon seeds, peanuts and fruit candies on plates and put them on the tables. Put them on every table. Remember not to eat any of them secretly." Li Meng playfully flicked Wu Ruirui's head.
"I didn't eat it secretly, I ate it openly, just leave it to me." Wu Ruirui ran away.
Li Meng is so busy now that she is exhausted. She will never do this again. It is so annoying.
"Mengmeng, we are here," the speaker was Sister Hu Xiaoyu, followed by a man named Hu Jia.
"Come on, come on, please come in." Li Meng heard the voice and walked over with a smile, greeting Hu Xiaoyu and her sister warmly.
"This is for you, congratulations. I came here uninvited, you won't be angry, right?" Hu Jia handed over a basket, acting shy like a little wife.
"Haha, how can you be angry when I'm not even here to welcome you? You're thinking too much." Li Meng patted Hu Jia's shoulder jokingly.
"Please sit wherever you like. I'll go to the kitchen first. You can walk around and just remember to come back for dinner," Li Meng said with a smile.
"Go and do your work. Don't worry about us. Go quickly." Hu Xiaoyu waved at Li Meng, indicating that she didn't need to worry about them anymore.
After a while, two teachers and the principal from the school also came, as well as the village chief of Sanhe Village, Wang Daguo, and his wife. Li Meng had not informed these people and was confused as to how they knew about it.
Everyone came with gifts, more or less. Seeing this situation, since they were guests, Li Meng could only warmly invite them to sit down first.
Li Meng called Wu Ruirui over to greet the teachers, and called the team leader over to greet the Sanhe village chief and others.
"Uncle, take these two packs of cigarettes and help me smoke them. When we're done, your niece will give you two packs to smoke yourself," Li Meng smiled ingratiatingly.
"What are you talking about, girl? I haven't finished smoking the cigarette your brother gave me last time. Please don't give it to me anymore. Spend it sparingly. Go and get busy. Leave the greeting to me." The captain handed over a pack of cigarettes and went over to greet people with a smile.
Sister Hong and Dali came with their two younger brothers, driving a ox cart. As soon as they entered the door, they shouted for people to come and move things.
"What are you doing? Come on," Li Meng hurried out to greet them. He saw two younger brothers and big brother Zhou Hui carrying a dressing table in, which was obviously an old item.
"Aren't I here to drink? I can't come empty-handed, right? I think this dressing table is especially suitable for you, so I brought it here for you. You can't refuse my kindness." Sister Hong smiled with a charming look on her face, which attracted the Sanhe village chief Wang Daguo to look at her several times.
"Okay, then I would like to thank you, Sister Hong. Come and sit down and have some tea to warm yourself up." Li Meng enthusiastically called Sister Hong and the others into the main room. Today's banquet was set up in the main room, and four tables were just right.
