The police in the 60s love eating melons and working

"Eggs are good, they nourish the body, we need eggs..."

"Let's eat chicken legs tonight. Hehe, they say chicken legs are the best. Now we have all chicken legs."

"Who would buy a chicken butt? That's outrageous! I don't want it even if it's cheap."

"This portion of chicken liver looks like it belongs to a chicken. Ten portions is not a lot, it's not very appropriate..."

"Chicken necks and chicken feet are priced the same as eggs. How can you afford to offer that?"

……

Du Juan was mumbling to herself. Although there were only ten things, she and Du Guoqiang and his daughter had been discussing them for most of the day.

If it wasn't too hot in the summer, she would have spent all of it. It would be safer to exchange the gold coins for something else. Otherwise, who knows if the thing will suddenly disappear one day. The father and daughter kept mumbling to each other until Chen Humei got off work in the evening...

Chen Humei works at a machinery factory, which is the largest factory in the local area and also the largest machinery factory in the north. There are nearly 20,000 employees alone. There are five canteens, each with six or seven cooks.

Among so many chefs, Chen Humei is the only female comrade.

It's not easy to learn a skill these days. Many people only pass the skills down to men, and don't accept women as apprentices. If the old couple of the Chen family were still alive, Chen Humei would not have the opportunity to learn cooking. The reason why she has this skill now is all thanks to her brother who is not shy about it.

Chen Hu has been dependent on his sister since he was a child. Although they are only ten years apart in age, he still raised her as his own daughter. Regardless of the saying "passing on skills to boys but not girls", he taught his sister everything. At that time, the people had not yet been liberated and it was difficult for the common people. More skills meant more opportunities.

It’s better to know than not to know.

However, even though Chen Humei is a cook, it is not easy to get a job as a cook in one of the largest factories like the machinery factory. Chen Humei couldn't find a job at first, so she followed her brother to practice cooking. Later, when Chen Hu got into trouble and a lot of public opinion arose, the organization gave condolences and compensation, and only then did Chen Humei get a job in the factory.

Perhaps there are many people who have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. Although Chen Humei is also a chef in the machinery factory, she has never cooked for the factory. Anyway, she gets off work on time and is not needed. Look, she is riding her bike home after get off work, with two lunch boxes in her net bag.

This is "leftovers". They are called leftovers, but they are actually left in advance. The cook will take some of them. If you don't take some, how can others take some? That would be against everyone.

There are many tricks in a big company like theirs, but it's not as easy as her brother's job in the Public Security Bureau cafeteria.

But Chen Humei doesn't care about that. She doesn't fight for credit or get involved in shit. She works at work and leaves after get off work. She doesn't care about salary or benefits. She doesn't care about anything else. She rides her bike very fast. If there's anyone who Du Juan looks like, it's her mother.

Chen Humei parked her bicycle in the garage of the staff housing complex and took a quick look. Du Juan's bicycle was not there.

His family has three bicycles. He bought them for Du Juan when she was in high school. It was convenient to have a bicycle to go to school. Chen Humei and Du Guoqiang's workplaces are a little far away, so they have to ride bicycles to work. Chen Hu, on the other hand, always walks to and from get off work.

It’s not that he can’t afford it, but the Public Security Bureau is not far from the family compound, only seven or eight minutes’ walk away.

Then riding a bike is not a convenience, it's a show-off.

Du Guoqiang's car was locked in the carport. It was estimated that he did not go out today. Chen Humei hurried upstairs with a lunch box. She brought delicious dishes today, stir-fried meat and pure stir-fried meat. She was mainly responsible for the big pot dishes, and there were not many pure meat dishes.

Everyone in their family is greedy and earns a lot, and they spend half of their salary showing off.

If there were enough tickets, I could have boasted about all my salary.

But even so, it's always a pleasure to get something for free.

Chen Humei opened the door: "Hey? Du Juan, why are you home?"

She glanced at Du Juan and asked again, "What's wrong with your forehead?"

Du Guoqiang and Du Juan both said "Shh~" at the same time. Du Juan rushed over, looked around mysteriously, then tiptoed to close the door, and ran to the kitchen with her mother in a stealthy manner, whispering: "Follow me."

Du Guoqiang also quickly moved closer at this moment.

Chen Humei: “???”

What are these two doing now?

Du Juan pulled her into the kitchen. Chen Humei looked at the apron on the ground in confusion. What was she using her apron to cover?
Du Juan pouted, motioning for her mother to stretch out her hand. Chen Humei was completely confused. She was a straightforward person, so she just reached out and pulled: "I... wuwu, uh oh..."

His mouth was covered by Du Guoqiang.

Du Guoqiang: Hehe, there’s nothing else to say, just four words: quick eyes and quick hands!

"Wuwuchawu let go... wuu ...

Dujuan put her little hands in front of her, and like the little squirrel, she kindly reminded, "Dad, my mom asked you to let her go!"

Du Guoqiang quickly let go and smiled flatteringly: "Hehe, my wife..."

Chen Humei gasped for air: "You idiot, you want to smother me to death before you find me again! This is what you can do."

Du Guoqiang: "No, you see, you misunderstood me, didn't you? Who doesn't know that I love you the most?"

Dujuan shuddered and felt her hair stand on end and goose bumps appear on her arms. She pursed her lips and silently took a step back.

Nasty!

Chen Humei was very impressed by Du Guoqiang's tricks. She snorted and said, "You have a conscience."

He glanced at Du Juan and said, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the children."

But soon, she glared again, her voice was very low but fierce: "Why did you go to the black market again? You used to be a police officer, you are very familiar with this area, what if someone recognizes you! You are also aware of the recent policies..."

Although Chen Humei looks fierce, she is actually worried about her family.

What doesn’t Du Guoqiang understand?
He quickly whispered, "This wasn't bought on the black market! This is a case of a child without a mother. It's a long story."

"Then please make it short." Du Guoqiang: "I can't make it short, well..."

The sound of the door opening was heard, and the three of them turned around in surprise. Chen Hu said, "What are you doing? You sound mysterious."

Dujuan jumped up and quickly dragged her uncle to the kitchen...

But Dujuan's matter cannot be hidden from one's family.

This is different from Du Guoqiang being a time traveler. If he doesn't tell her about this, it won't affect his life, and if he tells her about it, it won't be of much use. So Du Guoqiang never mentioned it, but it's impossible for his daughter not to tell her about it.

Pie in the sky, you have to tell me where it came from.

Besides, these two siblings love their children more than he does, so Du Guoqiang has nothing to worry about.

The two of us chattered, one after another, babble, quack, quack…

After three full hours, Chen Hu and Chen Humei finally figured out that their daughter had a great opportunity.

Du Guoqiang wiped the sweat off his face and said, "I spent three hours talking to you about this little thing."

Dujuan nodded and agreed: It’s too tiring, really too tiring.

Chen Humei rolled her eyes at Du Guoqiang. It was good enough that she could understand such a big thing.

However, Chen Humei pulled her daughter aside and said seriously, "Only the four of us in the family know about this. Don't tell anyone else. Don't show it at all. Got it? Even at home, draw the curtains. Got it?"

Du Juan nodded obediently: "Mom, I know."

Chen Hu was getting more and more worried. He pulled his daughter aside and started to talk about the old society, from the beginning of the world created by Pangu, to the old society, all the hatreds, the sinister plots, the sayings in front of others and behind their backs, and...

In short, the earth is too dangerous!

Dujuan was being pulled by her mother, and beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping down her cheeks.

After all, Chen Hu was well-informed. He had calmed down by now and quietly picked up the things and said, "How many things did Du Juan change? Let me see. Wow, how many chicken legs are there?"

Du Juan tried two things at once, stretching his neck and saying, "I changed twenty and used four gold coins, hehe."

Chen Hu: "Then let's stew chicken legs tonight. This is my first time stewing chicken legs."

Du Guoqiang rubbed his hands and said, "Brother, put some potatoes in it. Stewing chicken legs without potatoes is like eating dumplings without vinegar. It lacks flavor. I like potatoes stewed with chicken the most."

Chen Hu: "Okay."

There is no stopping the family members from eating something delicious in the summer. After a while, the smell comes out...

In the evening, every household was cooking dinner. As the smell came out, complaints were heard and quarrels were heard from many families. Although this is a residential building for family members, not every household has good conditions.

Seeing other people eating chicken makes people envious, jealous and worried!

The children from several families started to make a fuss, and instantly felt the iron fist of their parents' justice.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door and the Dujuan family all frowned.

Most people wouldn't visit during mealtime, especially when someone else has cooked something delicious.

But... there are very few people who are so careless. As soon as the knock on the door sounded, I knew who was coming.

Chen Humei looked the ugliest and said, "I'll open the door!"

She stood up and opened the door aggressively. Du Juan immediately followed her mother to cheer her on. Chen Humei opened the door in a flash: "Who is it?"

Outside the door was a woman in her thirties, with a good figure, two braided pigtails hanging down her chest, and beautiful and charming features. But although she looked good, she was wearing a patched gray top and pants.

Needless to say, we know that they are a poor family.

She was holding a large bowl in her hand and standing at the door, looking pitiful.

"Wang Chunyan, what do you want?"

The person at the door is called Wang Chunyan, and her name really suits her.

Wang Chunyan felt awkward for a moment, but soon smiled bitterly and said, "Sister-in-law, the chicken here is really delicious. My little Shun has been crying all the time because he wants a bite of this..."

She looked at Chen Humei eagerly. Seeing that she had no intention of responding, she wanted to peek inside, but Chen Humei was blocking the door like a mountain. She continued hesitantly, "I was thinking of borrowing a bowl of chicken from your family."

Her eyes were slightly red, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing her behavior, Chen Humei felt so disgusted that she almost vomited her lunch. She sneered and said in a loud voice, "If your son is craving for this, just go buy it. What's the point of coming to my house? You are not off work. Everyone has their own children. My daughter got injured at work today and needs to be healed. I lent it to you. What will my daughter eat? I feel sorry for my child and bought it to nourish her body. You came here because you smelled the smell. Here, you can definitely buy it at the vegetable market now. Go buy it if you are craving it. I don't have any extra to lend out."

Wang Chunyan bit her lip, feeling more and more aggrieved: "No, my family, my family's situation..."

"What's the matter? Your family is reluctant to spend money, so you want to come to my house and ask for it for free? What's the matter? I owe it to you! Go away, go away! It's really funny, you dare to ask for anything, and even bring a big bowl to borrow meat from others. I've never seen such a person..."

Chen Humei didn't give her any face at all and slammed the door in front of her!

boom!
The whole building shook three times!
Chen Humei snorted heavily, turned around, and saw her daughter giving her a thumbs up in a sneaky way!

Chen Humei: “Humph!”
