Li Xingwu had received Ye Zhiqiu's assurance that the supplies would be delivered tonight. He also had to inform relatives and friends that the wedding banquet would proceed as scheduled tomorrow, so he said goodbye and left.
Ye Zhiqiu saw him off. Wang Fugui and the others had just gotten up to wash up. He returned to the living room and lit a cigarette. After thinking for a moment, he decided to send it over in the afternoon. It was too cold at night, and the road was difficult to walk. It was better not to bother himself.
After washing up, they went to the living room. Ye Bailu took Ye Zhiqiu's hand and asked with a smile, "Brother, I heard from my classmates... I heard that! Now roast duck doesn't require a receipt..."
This girl is still using this trick!
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Really? That's great! I'll take your sister-in-law out for a meal tomorrow. If you really don't want a receipt, I'll come back and tell you, okay?"
Ye Bailu was anxious, she grabbed Ye Zhiqiu's hand and shook it violently!
Ye Zhiqiu quickly surrendered, "Alright, alright, please stop bothering me! It's not that I don't want to bring it to you, but I can't in this weather! It'll be freezing before we even get halfway there, and it'll probably be frozen solid by the time we get home. How can I even bring you roast duck?"
The weather was like this, Ye Bailu was very anxious, she was humming there in a coquettish manner.
Ye Zhiqiu was finally convinced. This girl had become cunning and used the same tricks on herself that she had used on Wang Fugui. The key point was that he really fell for her tricks!
He said helplessly, "Okay, but let's not buy it. Roast duck brother can also make it. I happen to be out selling things for someone this afternoon. When I get back, I'll get a duck and make roast duck for you."
Ye Bailu jumped up and down with joy, cheering, "We're having roast duck today! Big Brother, you're so kind! No wonder I've been missing you these past two years. It turns out you're the best to me!"
Wang Fugui joked, "Oh, little darling used to say grandpa was the best, but now that your big brother is back, he's the best! Grandpa's old, little darling can even trick people!"
Ye Wubing said happily, "Grandpa, don't you know my little sister yet? My sister-in-law is the best when she brings her food! Whoever gives her food and toys is the best. This girl is just a greedy cat!"
Everyone laughed, but Ye Bailu was not annoyed at all, nor did she become anxious.
Instead, he made a face at Li Wubing and said, "Lululu... Humph, Second Brother, you're the worst to me. You don't even leave any snacks for me. I don't like you, Second Brother!"
Ye Wubing shrugged and said, "Mom gave you fifty cents, and I gave you fifty cents too. You spent all your pocket money and now you're thinking about mine! If it's this good, I don't care about yours."
Ye Zhiqiu scolded with a smile, "Come on, you two are a greedy cat and a stubborn dog. One is greedy to a fault, and the other is stubborn for no reason! You're not allowed to laugh at fifty steps! Grandpa, don't laugh either. You're the only two people you taught. What's so funny about you?"
Wang Fugui pointed at himself and said in disbelief, "No, how can this be blamed on me? I taught them."
Ye Zhiqiu said confidently, "Isn't it? I haven't been in the capital for the past two years, so it can't be me who taught them that, right? If you hadn't spoiled them, would they be like this?"
What he said made so much sense that Wang Fugui was speechless!
Seeing that Wang Fugui was speechless, Ye Zhiqiu said even more proudly, "I'm not talking nonsense. You're not a good role model. You're always hiding things too well. No wonder they're following your lead!"
At this time, Ye Tianya came in with steaming steamed buns. He closed the door with his elbow and asked curiously, "What are you talking about? Why do I hear you say something?"
Wang Fugui's eyes rolled, and he pointed at Ye Tianya and said, "Grandson, they say children resemble their fathers. I don't need to explain what kind of person your father is, right? So I won't take the blame for this. If you want to talk, talk about your father!"
Ye Tianya was very confused. He put the steamed bun down and asked in confusion, "No, what are you talking about? I don't understand anything."
Seeing Wang Fugui trying to shift the blame, Ye Zhiqiu suppressed a smile and replied, "I didn't say anything. Dad, just focus on your work. Anyway, you're the one who took the blame."
"It's really incomprehensible... Never mind, if you don't tell me, I'm too lazy to listen..."
"Hey, Dad, you'd better not be curious about what Big Brother and Grandpa talk about, or you'll be depressed!"
"Humph, I'm afraid you're saying something bad about me! It's not the first time your eldest brother and your grandfather have done something like this. Dad has long been used to it."
After chatting and laughing for a while, Wang Xiaolan came back with the dishes and the family started to have breakfast.
After breakfast, Wang Xiaolan washed the dishes and went out to work at the street office.
Ye Zhiqiu ran back to his room to sleep. There was nothing to do anyway, and the cold weather was not suitable for going out for a walk.
The four members of the Qian family also came over. There is a radiator here, and it is much better here than at home, so they all like to come here to play.
So when Ye Zhiqiu woke up, Liu Cuihua had prepared lunch for him. The steamed buns had been steamed in the morning, so they just had to be steamed hot. The vegetables had also been fried, so they just had to be fried hot.
They didn't just eat for free. From time to time, they would send food and vegetables to replenish the family's supply, which helped save some coal.
Because Ye Zhiqiu had made preparations from the beginning, both families had a fixed amount of food, so life was not difficult.
By the way, Liu Cuihua’s godmother passed away last year. It was Qian Yuanjun who broke the pot. The old lady left behind more than 200 yuan in her lifetime. Liu Cuihua did not take the money, but gave it to the village public account.
In her words, she relied on her godmother's help and owed her a great favor. The money should be left to the village so that the old lady could repay everyone for their care for her.
The old lady left nothing behind except more than 200 yuan to the village and a jade bracelet, which was kept by Liu Cuihua as a souvenir. The rest of her things were divided among the villagers.
It's a good thing, I guess! Because this jade bracelet is the most valuable in the future!
With four more people eating together, the dinner table becomes very lively.
Qian Dafu asked curiously, "Nephew, I heard something about your factory. Did you hear it?"
Ye Zhiqiu, who was eating a steamed bun, looked up and asked in confusion: "Ah? What happened in our factory? I haven't been back for so many days, and I don't know what happened. Uncle Qian, can you tell me?"
Qian Dafu nodded and replied, "That's right. I'm not sure whether this is true or not. I just heard from our people that the brewery seems to be increasing production, and there may be recruitment quotas."
Ye Zhiqiu was surprised and said, "Didn't they say the brewery just completed its production increase last year? Now it's increasing production again, and beer sales are so good?"
At this time, Ye Tianya replied: "Son, you came back in winter. I wonder how popular beer sales are at other times. The supply can hardly meet the demand!"
