When seeing off the guests, Ye Zhiqiu realized that He Dashan and his team had driven here, so Feng Xiaomei and her daughter were sent back by them.
After everyone left, only the Qian family and his own family were left at home, and the neighbors were helping to clean up.
The food today was quite good, so Ye Zhiqiu said to the aunties who were helping out, "Aunties, there are some leftovers today, please don't be disgusted, share some and take some home to add to your family's dishes.
We are not being ostentatious. As you can see, there are too many leaders coming today, and we also gritted our teeth to prepare the ingredients. This meal has cost us the money we have saved for half a year.
So I really don’t have anything to thank you for. It’s just some leftovers. I hope you aunts don’t think our Ye family is stingy. There’s nothing else we can do…”
"Hey, Mr. Ye, what are you talking about? We're all neighbors, we should help each other!"
"That's right, we're here to help because of Sister Hua's face! These leftovers are really good, with plenty of oil and water..."
Ye Zhiqiu said yes with a smile and thanked everyone repeatedly.
When Chen Yimin and the others left, they told him that they had been busy today and asked him to officially start work the day after tomorrow.
This is the advantage of having someone to help you. You can set your working hours as you like. Anyway, the three senior leaders above you are here with their families today, eating and drinking happily.
When to go to work, isn’t it just a matter of a word from them?
There were really too many people today, so Ye Zhiqiu only had one glass of wine with many people, but this situation was unavoidable.
Anyone can see that there are quite a lot of leaders here today, and there are so many people wearing cadre uniforms. What else is there to say!
After working hard until ten o'clock, I finally returned the things and cleaned up the place.
Qian Dafu and his family left, but they did not take any leftovers with them, because Ye Zhiqiu gave them a piece of bacon he brought back on his second trip to supplement their nutrition.
After Ye Tianya and he sent the people away and closed the gate to the courtyard and returned to the living room, Wang Fugui was smoking a cigarette with a smile on his face, watching Wang Xiaolan holding a notebook and doing various calculations on it.
After seeing Ye Zhiqiu coming back, she clutched her chest and said with a look of heartache: "Boss, why are you so generous? I calculated the ingredients, and I'm afraid you must have spent several hundred yuan on it today, right?
Oh my God! If I had known it would cost so much, I wouldn’t have agreed to let you host this party…”
Ye Zhiqiu was a little confused. He looked at Wang Fugui and then at Wang Xiaolan, who looked heartbroken.
He asked carefully, "Mom, I didn't ask you to pay for this, why do you look so painful?"
Wang Xiaolan was stunned for a moment. She coughed a few times, cleared her throat, and then asked in a low voice, "Are you really not going to ask Mom to reimburse you for the food? You won't regret it?"
Ye Zhiqiu finally understood. He rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "So you think I'm going to cheat you out of your money? I bought all these ingredients with real money. I didn't ask you for money when I bought them, but now I'm going to ask you for money after I eat them?"
Wang Xiaolan's face lit up with joy, but soon turned sad again and said, "Even if you don't let Mom pay, it's such a waste for you to spend so much at once!
"Mom, when I see other people preparing banquets, they always have chicken, fish, and some pork. Three meat dishes are already a very good banquet! For our family's promotion banquet, is it too much to have so many meat dishes?"
This is really hard to say. I didn’t plan to prepare such a sumptuous meal at first, but since I don’t know how many people will come, I have to prepare more!
As the saying goes, it is always better to be prepared. Ye Zhiqiu is not short of these supplies anyway. It’s just that Wang Xiaolan’s attitude makes him feel helpless. Two years have passed, why is she so stingy again?
But if you think about it carefully, he is not here, except that Wang Fugui occasionally uses his special supplies to exchange for some more common supplies.
It was not easy for Wang Xiaolan and her friends to deal with the food, and the prices of supplies outside the quota were skyrocketing. Perhaps this was the reason why her stinginess came back again.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't know what to say. After all, he was back and would naturally prepare the ingredients himself in the future.
And it will be easier to get ingredients in the future, because I have already taken care of Wang Fugui, and I can even occasionally ask him to endorse it for me!
Ye Wubing and Ye Bailu both dozed off, so Ye Zhiqiu quickly asked them to go back and rest, and changed the subject, not wanting to argue with Wang Xiaolan about her stinginess!
After a busy period, Ye Zhiqiu lay down on the bed and turned off the alarm clock. It was already eleven o'clock.
He thought about tomorrow's plans, but there really weren't any plans at all!
Because I don't have to go to work tomorrow, Feng Xiaomei can't get out of school early, and I don't have any relatives or friends that I need to visit, so I'm really free at home.
When he woke up the next day, Ye Zhiqiu washed up and ate the breakfast left in the kitchen.
After eating and washing the dishes, he walked to the living room. Wang Fugui was quite relaxed, reading a book and drinking tea.
Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes and asked with a smile, "Grandpa, you are a leader after all. Other leaders have receipts, don't you have any receipts?"
Wang Fugui looked at Ye Zhiqiu defensively and said unhappily, "What are you planning now? Grandpa's bills are all useful. Whether it's rewarding colleagues or transferring supplies with other units, some bills will be used.
Don't worry about the money in my pocket! Besides, you already have a watch and a bicycle, so why do you need any bills?
Ye Zhiqiu curled his lips and said, "I just saw that you were bored at home, so I wanted to see if you had any radio tickets, so I could get one for you to listen to opera!"
Wang Fugui was stunned for a moment. This answer made him confused for a while.
"...You really just want to buy a radio?"
