The police in the 60s love eating melons and working

"Old Sun, we are still short of two benches. Who can you borrow from?"

"Who put the dirt on the table? Xiaoshun, what's wrong with you? Wang Chunyan, Wang Chunyan, please take care of your son! Why is this place so chaotic? The child should go play somewhere else. Take the child away quickly!"

"Someone come wash the vegetables!"

"Stop watching the fun and help now..."

"I want candy, I want candy, I want candy..."

"The bride is coming soon, are the firecrackers ready?"

……

There was a constant noisy sound, everyone was chattering, and people were coming and going.

Today is Sunday, and it is also the day when Hu Xiangwei from their compound is getting married. Yes, it is that fast!
Early in the morning, the courtyard began to jingle non-stop. The wedding banquet was set up in the open space downstairs, and it was busy early in the morning. Although Aunt Chang was unpopular, Uncle Hu was still very popular.

People often say that there are good men but bad wives.

Many people came to help not just for Aunt Chang, but also for Uncle Hu's sake.

It was a rare weekend break, so Dujuan didn't get up until mid-morning. There were steamed buns and rice porridge covered in the net cover on the table.

The three adults in their family were not at home. Du Juan was happily eating meat buns. Although his family had good conditions before, they did not eat fine grains every meal. But since they had the system, their food has improved a lot.

Especially after the system upgrade, his family had fine grains for almost every meal.

Her father Du Guoqiang said confidently: "Now that we have this opportunity, we should eat more good food. This thing fell from the sky suddenly, and it may disappear suddenly one day. So we should eat it when we need it. Even if it really disappears one day, we have enjoyed it. Don't let the system suddenly disappear at that time, and the pile of gold coins we have saved up will be useless. That would be a big loss."

The Chen brothers and sisters all agreed deeply with this statement.

What is the scariest thing in the world? The system is gone and the gold coins are not spent!

So, Du Guoqiang felt that his family should eat better, and the Chen brothers and sisters agreed.

As a chef, Chen Hu has been in his element recently.

Dujuan had finished her breakfast, oh, brunch, and finally she was in high spirits, leaning against the window to watch the fun. The wedding banquet was set up in the yard, and Dujuan watched it all. Her mother was eating melon seeds and watching the fun downstairs.

Logically speaking, her mother is a cook in the machinery factory, and Uncle Hu and his two sons also work in the factory. They should have more interactions than other families, but in fact, that is not the case. Although they are colleagues and live in the buildings in front and back, Aunt Chang is annoying and offends people.

Anyway, not very cooked.

Aunt Chang is an offender. If she shows up, no one in the compound will come to help. The few old ladies in the compound who came to help also came because their husbands have a good relationship with Uncle Hu. Otherwise, they would go after Aunt Chang?

Ha ha!

Dujuan called out, "Mom, where are Dad and Uncle?"

Chen Humei looked up and said, "There aren't enough people to welcome the bride, so your father and uncle went to help fill the gap."

Du Juan: “Ah?”

She was very surprised: "Is it appropriate for my dad and uncle to go to the wedding party at such an old age?" Aren't such things usually done by young men?
"Not enough people."

Du Juan: "...Ah? Oh."

How much is a lot?
It's not like they're going to fight, I really don't understand.

Du Juan was lying on the window. Downstairs was really lively. It felt like everyone in the entire compound had come to watch the fun. A big pot was set up in the yard, and the chef was simmering meat. The smell of meat in the yard was very overbearing.

Du Juan: No wonder his family dares to make dumplings in the morning, it turns out it’s because of this.

With this meaty smell, everything his family cooks will be covered up.

However, although the taste of this meat is very strong and overbearing, Dujuan finds it unpleasant.

She bit her lip, not knowing how to describe it. Anyway, it smelled disgusting.

Is it because she knows too much?

Du Juan leaned over the window, looking out, and then pouted. This story started a few days ago. Du Juan accidentally met Aunt Chang...

What did her father say?

"These people in the black market, except for some who come to exchange goods occasionally. The old people who live here are just like chefs. They basically have their own specialties. Well, my description is not quite right, but you should understand. Those who deal in grain, no matter what kind of grain it is, basically deal in that. Those who deal in meat, basically deal in meat. They rarely touch grain. The one you mentioned, the one who lives in Gouweiba Hutong, mainly deals in game. The game he deals in is not the common pheasants and rabbits, but basically the ones that are not very popular. But there is one thing, they are cheap. When Aunt Chang went to see him, she must have wanted game. Can that stuff still be eaten?"

As a time traveler, Du Guoqiang was born in the 2000s before traveling through time, so he really understands that if you can avoid eating these things, you should not eat them. Unless he is extremely hungry, he will not eat game meat.

Especially the weird ones.

Although there is no wildlife protection law in this era, people still eat it. No one thinks it is wrong, but Du Guoqiang can't get over it. He always feels that the food is not safe.

Chickens and rabbits, these are okay.

But what are you doing with field mice, foxes, geese, bats, and flower snakes?

Du Guoqiang would never eat it even if he was beaten to death!

How the hell do I eat that thing?

I would rather die than eat it!

What a coincidence, the guy in Gouweiba Hutong specializes in dealing in these things.

These things are not uncommon, but many people, like Du Guoqiang, cannot eat them, so the price of these things is much cheaper than ordinary pork and mutton. Some people are still willing to buy them just to satisfy their hunger.

After all, there are people who love to eat chicken butts!

This is my favorite.

There are also people who prepare banquets like Aunt Chang, and just by using the meat, they can save at least half of the money.

Dujuan almost vomited at the thought of it.

Fortunately, she doesn’t have to attend the wedding today, otherwise... Ugh!

Dujuan felt like she was about to vomit just thinking about it.

Her father doesn't eat game, and she doesn't eat it either. Maybe it's what the old man said, she's not hungry, right?
The cuckoo won’t eat it anyway.

She has the same taste in food as her father.

I don’t know if it’s just a psychological effect, but Dujuan felt that the meat didn’t taste good at all, but rather weird.

The cuckoo cat was watching the excitement from the window, and it was almost suffocated, but many people were happy and cheerful, walking around the big iron pot. Not to mention the children, some adults couldn't stand it. Sun Tingmei kept looking around and swallowing her saliva.

Ever since she confronted her family, the atmosphere in the family has been weird.

She doesn't blame her father, because it's not easy for a man like her to be the head of the family. She also doesn't blame her two younger brothers, because boys are careless and don't understand anything. It's all her stepmother's fault.

She has unilaterally stopped talking to Zhu Aixia.

Unless she gave her the job, she would never bother with Zhu Aixia, this hypocritical person.

She glanced at Zhu Aixia with disdain, and felt that Zhu Aixia was indeed a selfish person. Others were helping with the work. But she, Chen Humei and Aunt Yun, were eating melon seeds together. What a joke!

Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together and people flock together.

None of them is good.

Chen Humei is also selfish. She is a chef and lives in a big compound, but she refuses to help and even wants the Hu family to find a chef from outside. I have never seen such a vicious and selfish person. Sun Tingmei glared at Chen Humei again.

Chen Humei noticed that she was looking in the direction of his gaze, and Sun Tingmei quickly turned away and hid.

She still couldn't beat Chen Humei.

Chen Humei sneered and didn't bother to argue with a kid like her.

Sun Tingmei has been ignorant for a long time.

Chen Humei asked in a low voice: "Daxia, what should we do with your daughter?"

Zhu Aixia snorted and said, "I don't care about her. She's not my own daughter. If I care too little or too much, I'll be blamed. I don't treat her badly or abuse her, right? But look at how she treats me? My parents-in-law decide the family affairs, not me? I don't care anyway. There's no way she can get my job. This was my job before I got married. I didn't take it from his family. Of course I want to leave it to my son. How can I leave it to an ungrateful stepdaughter? I'm not crazy. She can do whatever she wants!"

Chen Humei nodded. That's right. Sun Tingmei didn't want her biological mother's job but her stepmother's job. This is really confusing...

Aunt Yun: "What about your mother-in-law..."

Zhu Aixia: "How can my mother-in-law be willing to give up her job? A kitchen helper earns almost 30 yuan a month. It would be great if she had her own money. But my mother-in-law is not willing to give it up."

Zhu Aixia hoped that her mother-in-law would not allow it, since the money would be used to supplement the family anyway.

Another thing is that his two sons are twins, and they will definitely need two jobs in the future.

If a man does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Who doesn't care about his own children?

Anyway, they were all torn apart.

"Don't talk about her. Hey, look, that's Lai Di from old Wang's family, right? What is she doing? Is she trying to steal meat?" She had sharp eyes and saw it right away.

Lai Di led Xiao Shun'er and wandered around the iron pot, looking left and right with a sly look.

Chen Humei: “…”

Aunt Yun: “…”

In addition to Lai Di and Xiao Shun'er, there were several other children from the compound, all of them were drooling with greed.

The chef for today's wedding banquet was hired from outside. Chen Humei also knew him. He is the chef of the second canteen in their factory.

He was sweating profusely from working so hard. He looked at the child wandering around the big iron pot and called out, "Master, is the master here? Hurry up and clean up the child. There's a fire burning over here. If he gets burned or bumped, it's hard to explain."

Aunt Chang came over in a hurry and shouted angrily, "What are you doing here, you little bastards? You want to steal food, right? You're dying of greed! You little bastards, hurry up, scatter, stop making trouble here, get out!"

She is not a person who likes to push and shove.

"Push me, push me, you old lady..."

“I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat…”

"Girl, she pinched me..."

……

Howling like ghosts and wolves.

"Aunt Chang, what's wrong with you? Why are you bullying my child on such a happy day? The child is just looking at me, do you have to say such harsh words?"

"That's right, you're really good at bullying children at your age. It's too much."

"What the hell..."

Aunt Chang is not someone who can be easily bullied. She immediately retorted, "Bah! Why are you pretending to be so arrogant in front of me? You are just complaining about your child cheating, and you can't just say something about it? You can't discipline your child, and now you are embarrassing yourself. You are blamed for not giving you face."

"You fart."

"Who did you say stole the food? Can't you just take a look?"

"You are wrongly accusing me, right? My child is fine, you want to throw dirty water on him?"

As soon as Du Juan was distracted, a quarrel broke out downstairs. No matter what time it is, there will always be people protecting their children.

Dujuan leaned her whole body out and looked extremely eagerly.

Yo yo yo!
There was a quarrel!

Du Juan sometimes really admires Aunt Chang. Her mentality is really... In his father's words, she never fights among herself, and all the mistakes are others'. Du Juan thinks that Aunt Chang is going to hit someone.

Fight, fight!

Oh no, how could she do this!
You can't just watch the fun without being afraid of trouble!
She is very upright.

She was already wondering whether she should go downstairs to help maintain order.

It's not that Du Juan is meddling in other people's business, but she discovered that her system will drop gold coins for not only big things, but also small things.

For example, a few days ago, when they were dealing with a chicken stealing and fighting incident, the system prompted: Help prevent a serious fight and be rewarded with 0.5 gold coins.

They also went to the train station square to stop a fight and were given 0.5.

Although it’s a small amount, even a fly leg is still meat. If you do this little thing twice, you can exchange it for ten eggs.

If you count it up, it’s quite a lot.

This month their family's food expenses are less than one-tenth of what they spent every month before.

Not even one tenth.

All of them were replaced by the system, which is great.

Dujuan rubbed her hands, she couldn't miss any excitement, otherwise, she should just administer justice in the afternoon, she could get some gold coins for being a little bit busy.

That’s what happened that time when I stole the chicken!

Du Juan pursed her lips and was about to go downstairs when she saw Uncle Hu passing by.

Done!

Gold coins flew away.

Sure enough, Uncle Hu scolded: "What are you doing on such a happy day? It's our family's good thing, don't make trouble. You really don't know the difference between the important and the unimportant."

Then he turned to the others and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. My old lady is a little irritated because she's busy with the wedding, but she means no harm. Don't bother with her. After all, today is my family's wedding..."

"Don't worry, Uncle Hu. We understand."

"Yes, Uncle Hu, don't worry about it..."

Uncle Hu smiled bitterly and said quickly, "Don't worry, kid, the meal will start soon."

"Uncle, please go and get busy..."

If Du Guoqiang were here, he would definitely mutter something about how pretentious he is, using his wife to highlight himself.

But Du Guoqiang was not here. Ordinary people these days were still relatively simple and honest, and they didn't think much about it. Even Du Juan didn't think much about it. She just felt that Uncle Hu stopped her too quickly, and she lost half a gold coin.

They have been very busy in the institute these days. With more "samples", Dujuan has grasped some patterns of gold coin explosions.

For ordinary small fights, no matter how serious they are, the score is basically 0.5.

It seems like a small amount, but Dujuan is still very satisfied.

The most serious problem is when human lives are involved, but Dujuan would rather nothing like that happens.

She was like a little bird, leaning on the window and looking out, watching the fun, when she saw Jiang Weizhong coming back from outside with a pale face. The wind could blow him away.

Du Juan waved: "Brother Weizhong!"

Looking again, the man's clothes were wrinkled. Du Juan immediately realized that the man had worked overtime all night!

Jiang Weizhong smiled at her, unable to hide his tiredness.

But soon, he frowned, looked in the direction of the cauldron, then sighed and continued to stagger towards the corridor.

Since Jiang Weizhong is always busy with work and often does this, others don't pay much attention to him. But Aunt Chang smiled darkly and muttered, "You look so jealous. It's useless to be so jealous. If you can't get a wife, you can't get a wife! It's sad. That wife is also from my family, but she doesn't like you."

other people:"……???"

Although no one wanted to embarrass others at the wedding, everyone knew that Jiang Wei Zhong didn't like Bai Wanqiu when they went on a blind date!
It’s not that Bai Wanqiu looks down on Jiang Weizhong.

You really are good at flattering yourself.

Besides, isn’t it normal for Jiang Weizhong to be like this?

He always looks so miserable when he works overtime.

Everyone looked at Aunt Chang with contempt, but Aunt Chang herself was the only one who didn't notice the situation.

Instead, Wang Chunyan came forward and said considerately: "Wei Zhong, what's wrong with you? This work is endless, you have to take care of yourself! I will help you..."

"What are you doing!" Aunt Yun rushed over, fearing that Wang Chunyan would run into her son. Even if her son didn't want to find a partner, he couldn't get entangled with this widow.

Since ancient times, whoever gets involved with a widow with children will have a good ending.
Even Dorgon couldn't control him, so a nerd and a fool like his son would be a real bummer!

Aunt Yun: "Stay away from my son!"

She is not happy with a good widow, let alone one with an improper style!

What!

Are you dissatisfied with the fact that there are too few cuckolds in your family?

"Get off!"

Jiang Weizhong: "Mom, don't touch me. I smell like this. A body was found in Xishan Reservoir. It was soaked so badly that it was unbearable to look at. I have been busy since last night. I feel like I smell like this..."

"vomit!"

Before Aunt Yun could react, Wang Chunyan quickly took a few steps back.

Jiang Weizhong: "That bubble..."

"Go home quickly, take a shower, and have some sleep!" Aunt Yun spoke decisively, stopping him from continuing.

Jiang Weizhong: “Okay!”

He rubbed his temples and walked up the stairs.

When I walked to the second floor, I saw that the door of the room on the second floor was open. Dujuan was stretching her head to look outside, making some noise.

"Whoa!"

Jiang Weizhong laughed: "Why are you being so sneaky?"

Du Juan hooked her finger, and Jiang Weizhong came over. Du Juan stuffed a small bag into his hand and said, "Here, this is for you. It's some preserved fruit made by my uncle. Eat a piece when you feel nauseous. It can help you feel less nauseous."

Jiang Weizhong looked down at the small bag, smiled even brighter, raised his hand and rubbed her head, and said, "You are really my good sister."

Du Juan took a step back, looked at him angrily, and grumbled, "Are your hands clean? You come and rub my head."

All of them treat her like a kitten or a puppy. Why are they rubbing her head?
She is not the child she used to be.

Really.

Besides, are his hands clean?
Dujuan's eyes widened with a hint of anger.

Jiang Weizhong laughed even more and said, "Don't worry, I won't go home until I'm clean. I just deliberately annoyed Wang Chunyan..."

Du Juan: “…”

He said: "I guess after I say this, she won't be around me for a few months. It's much easier."

He shook the bag and said, "Thank you."

Du Juan raised his chin and said, "I have always been a righteous person."

Jiang Weizhong: "Yes, yes, you are the best!"

He laughed enough and whispered, "Tell your mother not to eat the meat from the banquet downstairs."

Du Juan opened her eyes wide and looked at Jiang Weizhong in shock.

Jiang Weizhong: "I smell something wrong. It's not pork. Who knows what they have at home? It smells like a dead rat."

It won’t kill you, but it’s disgusting.

Du Juan also whispered: "I know."

Jiang Weizhong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "That's right, Uncle Du is not a simple person."

Du Juan said proudly: "Of course my father is very capable, I am not bad either, a good father will have a good daughter."

"Just brag." Jiang Wei Zhong felt relieved when he saw her cocky look.

Du Juan asked in a sly voice, "Is there really a rat problem in his house?"

That thing won’t eat dead people, right?

Jiang Weizhong: "That's impossible. His family would do that, but the chef wouldn't do that. If someone gets sick from eating it, he'll be in trouble too. I guess it's some not-so-fresh game."

He thought about it for a moment and said, "In our area, it might be a silly roe deer, but it's definitely not fresh in such hot weather."

Du Juan: "Ugh! That's disgusting." "Is that disgusting? I'm glad I didn't deep-fry cockroaches for you."

“Gee!”

Du Juan retched and glared at Jiang Weizhong: "Brother Weizhong, you are going too far! How can I eat lunch if you are like this?"

Jiang Weizhong: "It's my fault, it's my fault! I apologize to you."

Du Juan: “That’s more like it.”

She looked at Jiang Weizhong's tired appearance and said, "Okay, go home and have some sleep. I won't disturb your rest."

Jiang Weizhong nodded: "Okay, I'll take a nap for a while, I have to go to the bureau in the afternoon."

Du Juan: “It’s so hard.”

Jiang Weizhong: "It doesn't matter whether it's hard or not. It's what we should do."

He waved his hand and turned to go upstairs.

Seeing that the people had gone back, Dujuan retreated back home. Thinking of what Wei Zhongge said, it might be stale roe deer meat, Dujuan still believed it.

After all, he is really professional and his nose is really useful.

Dujuan pursed her lips and looked downstairs again.

Just then, Sun Tingmei looked upstairs. Their eyes met and Sun Tingmei pouted in disgust.

It’s no big deal. Don’t think that just because she can have a job, you can do it too.

She snorted.

Dujuan: "???"

I didn't provoke you!

So neurotic!
Du Juan really doesn’t know what’s wrong with Sun Tingmei!

But they didn't have time to think about it, because they could hear the sound of running outside, "The bride is here, the bride will be here soon."

Upon hearing this, Dujuan didn't care about anything else and ran downstairs.

There are quite a few people downstairs, watching the fun.

For a happy event like a wedding, everyone comes to share in the joy.

Before Du Juan ran to the door, she heard a burst of firecrackers. Hu Xiangwei, who was wearing a Zhongshan suit, had already walked into the courtyard hand in hand with Bai Wanqiu, who was wearing a red dress. Her hair was tied up with a flower on her head, and her eyebrows and eyes were painted.

You will look much better if you dress up.

Behind them was the large group of groomsmen who came to pick up the bride.

Du Juan: "Wow! How many people are needed?"

Aunt Qiu in the backyard whispered, "Sixty-six people. The Hu family believes that sixty-six is ​​the most auspicious number, so they found sixty-six men to welcome the bride. Didn't you see? There are almost no men in our compound, and they all went to welcome the bride. It's both auspicious and impressive."

Du Juan: “…”

This……

Is that necessary?

Dujuan didn't understand, but she was very happy seeing the lively wedding.

The bride and groom both had smiles on their faces and looked very happy.

"Meet the newlyweds..."

Although Du Juan was tall, she couldn't get to the front because of the crowd, so she squeezed through the crowd and hurried home. What a coincidence, Zhao Di and her sister thought the same thing, and they also rushed home. Du Juan returned to the second floor, and the couple had already clasped their hands, placed them in front of their chests, and began to recite quotations.

Du Juan: "Oh my god..."

The scene was very lively and crowded, but Hu Xiangwei and Bai Wanqiu were still very happy, because this display belonged to their family. Hu Xiangwei was very proud, and at the same time he secretly cursed the Li family for not knowing how to appreciate his kindness.

He just watched and saw what kind of man that bitch Li Xiu Lian could find.

He looked down at Bai Wanqiu.

Although Bai Wanqiu's family conditions were not as good as Li Xiulian's, he was indeed much better looking than Li Xiulian. He held Bai Wanqiu's hand and said loudly: "From today on, Comrade Bai Wanqiu and I will become partners. We will live a good life together, love our families, unite and love each other, and contribute to the construction of the motherland!"

Bai Wanqiu looked at Hu Xiangwei with bright eyes and said, "I will take care of my parents-in-law, manage the housework, and be the best daughter-in-law, so that Dawei can work hard without any worries."

"it is good!"

"What a talented man and beautiful woman!"

"They are a perfect match."

"The bride is the most beautiful..."

People in the crowd kept shouting for support, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

The man and woman offered tea to the old man again. Uncle Hu said: "You should live a good life in the future, live in harmony with each other, and give birth to children for our Hu family as soon as possible."

"I know dad!"

Uncle Hu gave each of them a red envelope.

Bai Wanqiu's smile became even brighter.

"Everyone, eat and drink well, drink and eat well, everyone, please take your seats quickly..."

"The feast is served."

"Today's food is really hard. I've been busy since early morning, so I know it very well."

"My family hasn't eaten meat for a long time."

"Otherwise it has to be Uncle Hu..."

The nice words were said as if they were free. The most enjoyable thing about a banquet is that there are many delicious dishes, which happened to be the case today. Everyone hurriedly looked for a place. Wang Wangshi dragged her grandson and quickly found a seat and sat down.

Wang Chunyan was also not vague and continued to shout.

"Where are Zhaodi and Laidi? Come quickly!"

Although Aunt Chang said that each family should send one representative, and she had said this for a week, Mrs. Wang didn't care. Her family was full of children, how much could they eat? Besides, what would the children eat when the adults were not at home? It was no problem to bring them along.

Brother Hu has already said that you shouldn’t listen to his wife.

Mrs. Wang doesn't care about that. Neither do her older sisters, grandchildren, and aunts, who also have families to support.

Everyone was scrambling for seats. Although there were ten tables, it was still crowded. Chen Humei went upstairs decisively. Aunt Yun asked, "Are you not going to the banquet?"

Chen Humei: "My man represents it."

Aunt Chang had been talking about one person from each family being sent as a representative for a week, and they had heard it.

Besides, she didn't want to eat.

Du Guoqiang: "Why don't you go with Aunt Yun and the others? I won't join you."

Chen Humei narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You old boy, you want to go home and eat secretly, right?"

"You join!"

The tone was firm.

Du Guoqiang: "...Oh."

His wife is the real murderer.

"Why are you guys still being so polite? The dishes today are really good. There's braised pork, did you see it? And snake soup! One serving for each table, it's really good. Uncle Hu has spent a lot of money on Hu Xiangwei's wedding this time." After Sun Zhengfang finished speaking, he frowned slightly. Why was there no seat for him?

Shouldn't this be left for him?

Hu Xiangming, Hu Xiangwei's elder brother, looked at Sun Zhengfang's dark face, glanced at the crowded tables, and stepped forward: "Brother Sun, come over here, uncle, please hold your grandson. The child is still young, hold him!"

"Auntie, please hold the child for a while..."

"You two sisters, please sit on the same stool and show some consideration for each other."

"Add a chair here..."

……

Hu Xiangming took charge of the matter and Chen Humei left.

As a cook, she has a lot of appetite, but this thing just doesn’t taste right!
However, she didn't spread the news to offend anyone. Not only did she offend the Hu family, but the people at the banquet would probably be unhappy too.

I want you to talk more!

Don't think that if you tell others about this, they will thank you. In many cases, they will blame the person who talks too much. If you don't know, just eat it. Since you have said it, if you don't eat it, you will feel sorry for the gift money, but if you eat it, you will feel uncomfortable.

Isn't this just the fault of the person who exposed the truth?

Chen Humei had encountered this kind of thing when she was young. She was preparing a banquet for someone and the host caught a dead bat. She told the story and surprisingly, it was all her fault. She was well-intentioned but many people complained about her.

That's why Chen Humei didn't say much, and her brother Chen Hu went upstairs early.

Chen Humei went home and muttered, "What the hell is this?"

Chen Hu didn't care: "Let them do as they please."

They had come through difficult times and had seen people starving to death, so they were not surprised by what they ate.

His family doesn’t eat it themselves, but they don’t care whether others eat it or not.

"Brother, this smell is so greasy, can you give me something refreshing?"

Chen Hu looked at the mother and daughter and said, "The weather is very hot. I'll make some cold noodles and cut some cucumber and carrot into shreds to make some cold noodles. How about that?"

Du Juan: “Okay!”

Chen Hu smiled and said, "Let's eat some cold noodles. I'll cook and you guys can take a rest."

Food is the most important thing for people. If people eat well, they will be happy.

Du Juan: "Mom, I packed some of our preserved fruits for Brother Wei Zhong."

Chen Humei: "Of course I give it to you. It's my duty. Wei Zhong went on a business trip some time ago and brought some tea to your father. He didn't ask for money. We accept his gifts. Reciprocity is the only way to keep going in the long run."

Du Juan nodded.

Chen Hu poked his head in the kitchen and said, "I've also made some jam. When it's almost done, give Wei Zhong a bottle. He loses his appetite in the summer, so eating something sweet and sour can help stimulate his appetite."

Du Juan: “Okay.”

"They are too busy." Chen Humei sighed, and then said: "The Municipal Bureau wanted to transfer your father there, but he didn't want to, saying that he would have no time to take care of the family if he went. It's a pity that he didn't go. Look how busy he is."

Chen Hu: "That's not true. Look at Wei Zhong, he's busy, but at least he goes home. Qi Chaoyang is so busy that he doesn't even go home. He lives in the office all day now."

"Oh my god, oh yeah, I forgot that Qi Chaoyang has a house in the yard."

There was a moment of silence among the people.

Du Juan: “…”

To be honest, she had never seen Qi Chaoyang in the yard, so she didn't even know she had this neighbor.

"This is so..."

The family was chatting at home, and the food was already being served downstairs.

Uncle Ding glanced at Du Guoqiang and said, "Your family is honest. People say that each family should have one person, but your family only came one person? Look, many families have come with multiple people. What's the big deal? Old Hu said, don't listen to his wife. You really gave Chang Juhua face. If she doesn't agree, you won't come."

Du Guoqiang: “…”

If possible, I don’t want to come!

But since it’s a gift, I have to give back some!

Du Guoqiang: "Well, you said it all. My family is honest, so I am naturally embarrassed."

He asked, "Hey. When did Hu Xiangming come back? Didn't he drive to Harbin in a sports car?"

"Last night, we didn't get to the city until almost dawn. Didn't you see that we didn't look very energetic? Really, Hu Xiangwei was too anxious."

"Hey, why do you think he is so anxious? Oh, that's not right. Where is Jiang Weizhong?"

Du Guoqiang: "He definitely didn't come. Only his mother came. Neither his father nor he came."

Uncle Ding: "You really don't know how to live. You've already given gifts, but you still listen to this? You should eat what you should eat, otherwise you'll lose out."

Humph, he and his wife are here.

Why not eat this!
You must eat it!
Sun Zhengfang, who sat at the same table, also smiled but said nothing. He was not alone at home. His mother Yu Jiuhong was sitting at the old lady's table, along with her two sons. His daughter Tingmei also sat at a table.

He looked around and saw Zhu Aixia coming over to help serve the dishes.

Well, his wife really is someone who never suffers any loss.

You can steal food while the dishes are being served!

Sun Zhengfang: "Xiao Du, I remember you don't eat snake meat?"

Du Guoqiang nodded: "I don't eat this."

Sun Zhengfang said with a sigh: "You are at a great loss, this is a great tonic."

He lowered his voice: "Like cures like, understand?"

Du Guoqiang: “…”

Even though Du Guoqiang was knowledgeable and experienced, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. He had never heard of this!
Besides, which shape are you filling?

How come he drove onto the highway so quickly?

Is he the one who needs to be replaced? What a joke!

Not to mention that he won’t take the supplement, even if it’s really a big supplement, he won’t do it!

He really doesn't eat this stuff.

He doesn't eat any weird things!
He won't even eat bullfrog!
Du Guoqiang, a gay man who seems a little pretentious to everyone.

But if you don’t eat it, you don’t eat it.

"Eat more if you like. I don't need to supplement."

"Just blow it."

Du Guoqiang smiled: "How can it be called a boast? Is there any need to boast about this?"

Sun Zhengfang rolled his eyes and thought to himself that it would be better if you didn't eat. If you don't eat, I'll eat more. Others thought the same.

Uncle Ding: "Little Sun, don't try to persuade me. If you don't want to eat, then don't eat."

"Yes, yes! Some people don't like this."

We have lived in the same compound for several years and we all know that Du Guoqiang doesn't eat wild game very often. Although we think he is a bit weird, we don't find it too strange.

"Just this braised pork, just this braised pork, I tell you, I can eat three steamed buns with just the soup." Uncle Yu rubbed his hands.

Du Guoqiang: The meat is definitely not right, at least it is not fresh, otherwise, there is no need to braise the meat. Don’t the ingredients for braised meat cost money? There are two cooks in the family, he would not know. If the meat is fresh, it will not be done this way, it is time-consuming, laborious and expensive to buy seasonings.

That can only mean that the money spent on seasoning is more appropriate than buying fresh meat, so this meat...

Du Guoqiang has made up his mind not to eat a single bite!
“The food is served, the food is served!”

"The feast is about to begin. Don't wait any longer. Come on!"

"Come on!"

The dishes were served quickly to each table. Du Guoqiang saw the scrambled eggs coming up, so he quickly picked up the chopsticks. Before he even touched them, the chopsticks turned and picked up the garlic-chopped eggplant. Next to him was Uncle Ding, who was faster than him. The egg he picked up had a faint, strange smell.

Du Guoqiang didn't even dare to pick it up!

It’s so bitter!
He gave me a fifty-cent gift.

You can’t eat it back, you can’t eat it back at all!
You can’t eat meat, you can’t eat snake meat, and even eggs can’t be eaten.

What should I do?
Du Guoqiang quickly grabbed a white flour bun. No matter what, he had to eat the bun.

Fortunately, he acted quickly. If he had been slower, all of them would have been gone.

They served the dishes and steamed buns according to the number of people at a table of ten, but there were more than ten people at a table, so it was packed!
Du Guoqiang felt aggrieved.

He looked up at the window and saw his wife, brother-in-law and daughter standing at the window, each holding a bowl and sipping cold noodles.

Du Guoqiang: “…”

Jealous.

I want to eat cold noodles.

But I definitely can’t lose the fifty cents gift money!
"Would you like some wine? I'll pour you a cup?"

Sun Zhengfang held the wine bottle tightly.

Du Guoqiang: "How is it?"

Uncle Ding danced his chopsticks quickly and said, "You are stupid. You came here to eat at a banquet. Drinking is stupid."

Du Guoqiang glanced at the wine bottle and shook his head decisively: "I don't want it."

His chopsticks reached for the potatoes and kidney beans stew.

No matter what, eat your vegetables, there's nothing wrong with that.

Fifty cents, at least you have to get back one or two cents!
Du Guoqiang didn't want to suffer any loss, so he cheered up and started dancing quickly.

"Why is there still a bone in this egg?"

"The eggs taste a bit strange..."

"It's normal to be hot in the summer. They always save some eggs for a banquet. They've kept them for a long time, right? It's okay. Eggs are good things..."

"Meat is coming, meat is coming!"

Du Guoqiang is fighting with garlic-chopped eggplant again. There is no other reason, it’s just that the strong garlic smell suits him!
He has suffered so much!
This banquet is more outstanding than that of ordinary people, but, something is not right!
This banquet is really wrong.

Du Guoqiang: "Garlic minced eggplant, garlic minced eggplant..."

Uncle Ding: "You are such a loser, you actually like to eat this!"

Du Guoqiang: “Haha!”

I am devastated.

It's a psychological effect. He knows the meat is not good, so he thinks the meat has a weird taste.

Eat more garlic.

At least, healthy!
If this happens to be the case when "garlic" is very cruel to you, then garlic will be more expensive than meat!

He just thought he was getting an advantage.

Du Guoqiang was huffing and puffing on the eggplant with minced garlic, while others were scrambling for the meat. When the snake soup came up, there was another round of scrambling...

Du Juan stood at the window holding a bowl of rice and said, "When I was a child, I loved going to banquets the most. Now I suddenly feel that going to banquets seems to be quite painful..."

The Chen brothers and sisters all laughed.

The scene was bustling, when suddenly, a retching sound was heard...

"Hmm!~~~"
