Chapter 71 Dinner at Chen's House



Li Dajun sincerely apologized for his son.

Jiang Baige couldn't help but give him this face. She said, "Comrade Li, Li Xiaobao is still young. It's not too late to educate him well in the future. I believe he will change in the future."

Li Dajun felt a little ashamed and sighed helplessly, then packed up everything on the stove and took it away.

After Li Dajun left, all that was left of the Meng family's stove was a clay stove.

Jiang Baige found a broom and cleaned the room from top to bottom. She also brought in the pot from outside.

This pot is not as good as the one in her space, but it is still fine for temporary use.

There was a wooden basin and a wooden ladle in the pot. I don’t know what these two things were used for in the past. They were black inside and out and looked unclean.

Take these two out of the pot and set them aside.

She didn't insist that the Li family give them anything as compensation. She just wasn't happy with Hongxiu and wanted to make her angry by asking her to exchange something for something else.

If someone like Hongxiu doesn't care this time, she will think that she is easy to bully in the future and may do something even more excessive.

She was cleaning up in the kitchen when Chen Jiaojiao came running over.

"Sister, Grandma Meng, let's go to my house quickly. The noodles are ready."

Chen Jiaojiao is sweet-looking and speaks sweetly. She may be a child who grew up in a loving family. She is innocent and simple, giving people a feeling that she becomes more and more adorable the more you look at her.

Seeing her waiting at the door, Jiang Baige responded, closed the door, and helped Grandma Meng slowly go next door.

As soon as Chen Jiaojiao entered the room, she called out, "Mom, Grandma Meng and my sister are here. Are the noodles ready?"

Zhou Xiuying responded from inside, "Hey, I'll be right there."

She brought a few large bowls from the kitchen and smiled happily, "Aunt Meng, Comrade Jiang, please come and sit over here quickly.

Jiang Baige nodded, "Yeah."

He helped Grandma Meng walk to the table and sat down, "Grandma Meng, please slow down."

It was the first time Zhou Xiuying saw Jiang Baige taking such good care of Aunt Meng, and she thought to herself, "No wonder they get along so well."

"Auntie Meng, please sit down first. The noodles will be served soon."

Grandma Meng said, "I'm sorry to bother you today."

Zhou Xiuying giggled, "What's the problem? The noodles were given to us by Comrade Jiang! We are all benefiting from her."

As they were talking, Chen Jianguo brought out a ceramic bowl of noodles from the kitchen.

A large bowl of clear soup noodles was placed on the table. There were oil and some chopped green onions floating on the soup. It looked a bit light, but at this time, it was already a rare treat.

At this time, Chen Defu also came back from outside.

Zhou Xiuying said, "Dad, come over and have some noodles!"

Chen Defu came to the table, looking curious, "Hey, there's noodles to eat today, where did you get them?"

Chen Jiaojiao said flatteringly, "My sister gave me these noodles. Dad, please sit down and try them."

Chen Defu smiled and said, "Well, let's eat the noodles quickly! Comrade Jiang, you've spent money."

Jiang Baige smiled and said, "It's not worth much, so why bother talking about whether it's expensive or not? As long as you like it, it's fine."

Several people sat down and talked politely to each other, but no one picked up their chopsticks.

Seeing that no one took a bowl, Chen Jianguo gave everyone a bowl and a pair of chopsticks.

Zhou Xiuying and Chen Defu both picked up the bowls in front of them and started scooping up noodles.

When Jiang Baige wanted to get a bowl of noodles, the bowl in front of her was taken away by Chen Jianguo, who scooped out a large bowl of noodles for her with just a few chopsticks.

Jiang Baige looked up at him and the noodles in the bowl. This was too much.

He hurriedly said, "It's too much. I can't eat so much."

Chen Jianguo glanced at her and asked, "You can't even finish this?"

He thought, Jiaojiao is so young but she eats a big bowl, the young educated youth is older than her, so he should be able to eat that much too.

Jiang Baige nodded, "Half is fine."

Chen Jianguo scooped half of the noodles for Jiang Baige into his own bowl, and kept the other half and placed it in front of her.

Jiang Baige watched his actions, endured it, and finally said nothing.

Chen Jianguo looked at the little bit left in the bowl and said, "You only eat this little bit. No wonder you are so thin."

He also helped to scoop a bowl into Grandma Meng's bowl.

Zhou Xiuying looked up at her son, then at Jiang Baige, and thought to herself, "They are a perfect match. Good job, son, today. He even showed some concern for the girl."

Chen Jiaojiao had already started eating noodles, and only when she had a moment to speak said, "Mm, mm, these noodles are so delicious."

Zhou Xiuying agreed, "This noodle is really good. I cooked so much, you should eat more."

Jiang Baige thoughtfully placed the noodles in front of Grandma Meng and put the chopsticks in her hand. "Grandma Meng, it's a little hot, please eat slowly."

Zhou Xiuying blew on a mouthful of noodles and said, "Yes, Aunt Meng, eat slower."

As she said this, she continued to eat her noodles.

Chen Jianguo and his sister sat on a bench, occasionally looking up at the young educated youth who was eating noodles leisurely.

She is so good-looking, and the way she eats noodles is so beautiful too. Suddenly I feel like my heart skipped a few beats.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal of noodles.

Jiang Baige and Grandma Meng had eaten a lot of good food these days, so they didn't have much of a craving for noodles. They each ate half a bowl.

The mother and daughter of the Chen family each ate two bowls.

The two older men of the Chen family scooped up three bowls of the juicy noodles each.

Finally, all the soup in the bowl was drunk.

After eating and drinking, Zhou Xiuying said, "Comrade Jiang, there are still some noodles left that you gave me. You can take them back later."

Zhou Xiuying cooked a little more than two handfuls of noodles, and half a handful was left.

It's not easy for everyone these days. She thought that the remaining food should be returned to the owner. For the two of them, the remaining food was enough for two meals.

Jiang Baige smiled and said, "Auntie, you can keep the rest for yourself. We have more at home."

How come she has nothing left now? It’s only half a pound of noodles, she has plenty.

Lunch was over and the broadcast was already starting outside.

"Villagers, villagers, it's time to go to work."

Chen Defu said to his wife, "Comrade Jiang asked you to keep it, so you should keep it. Pack up and get back to work."

Zhou Xiuying smiled happily: "Well, then I'll accept it."

Jiang Baige sent Grandma Meng home, "Grandma Meng, wait for me to come back and make dinner. It's too late now. You can bask in the sun in the yard."

Grandma Meng responded, "Go ahead! I know what to do."

When Jiang Baige went out, she met Chen Jianguo and his sister.

After a simple greeting, we went to work together.

Jiang Baige caught the most insects this morning, and was assigned to continue catching insects in the afternoon.

Since Chen Jiaojiao had noodles for lunch, she spent the whole afternoon pestering Jiang Baige to catch insects together. They talked and laughed together, and it seemed that they had a very good relationship.
