Chapter 19 Dinner Party

Jia Yi put the bag on the table as soon as he entered the door.

Mrs. Jia Zhang is chatting with Qin Huairu.

"Xiao Yi is back... Why are you kid buying so much lean meat?"

Qin Huairu opened the bag and took out everything. Jia Zhang's eyes lit up when she saw a table of meat and fish. It's so good this year, there is fish and meat.

“It’s too late to buy…”

"Don't talk about this, I have something to say..."

"Tell me..."

Qin Huairu looked at these supplies and thought that she could have a good year.

"In the past, the deaf old lady, my uncle's family, and Uncle He's family all spent the Chinese New Year with us, but to be honest, our family didn't produce anything. This is purely because they want to help us..."

Jia Yi paused and looked at the two people who were thoughtful. It seems that Jia Zhang has really changed, otherwise he would have refuted it long ago.

"Then you want to give us something extra to celebrate the New Year together."

"Yes, Mom, not only that, our family is much better this year, so I want to find Chef Uncle He today to celebrate the New Year together with the four families. I would like to thank them."

Jia Zhang was hesitant to speak. It would be great to keep these things at home, why should he make them cheaper for outsiders? But these words belong to his grandson, and he also brought the things back. After thinking about it, he still doesn’t object. Well, but I also

Don't say you agree.

"Okay, I'll take care of this..."

Qin Huairu happily agreed. After all, he had received too many favors from them. Since Jia's father passed away, Qin Huairu could not support the family alone.

Thinking about Qin Huairu, she went out to find Uncle He and the others.

Jia Zhang quietly prepared to collect some and hide them.

"Grandma, I can get these now, and there will be more in the future. Don't worry, the family will get better and better..."

"I didn't take it, I just went to get a plate to put some peanuts and melon seeds on. Humph, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are when you're not a householder." Of course, the latter sentence was muttered in a low voice, and Jia Yi almost didn't hear it clearly.

Mrs. Jia Zhang got up and walked to the cabinet, picked up a large plate, put some peanuts, melon seeds and peach cakes on it. The rest was put into the cabinet.

"I'll take it after I finish eating."

Seeing Jia Yi's strange eyes, Jia Zhang explained in a low voice.

"Xiao Yi, I'll ask your Uncle He to cook for you first, and then I'll call the next uncle and the others."

Qin Huairu came in, said something and then went out again.

After a while, He Yuzhu came in, holding a coal stove in his hand.

"Uncle He, the ingredients are all here..."

Jia Yi took some more stock at home: a few potatoes, a few radishes, two cabbages, plus some leftover fat meat. Even lean meat is not delicious.

"Hey, Xiao Yi, it's very rich. How much of this do you plan to use?"

"Uncle He, it doesn't matter if you use them all. The most important thing is that everyone is happy..."

"Xiao Yi, you are so generous, as long as you are willing..."

"If you don't want to part with it, I bought it just for eating..."

"That's right, I'll take over... I agreed to call them after dinner is ready."

Qin Huairu said and came in carrying two coal stoves.

Jia Yi originally wanted to help with the ingredients, but they didn't let him. Was this because they disliked Jia Yi's poor knife skills, but Jia Yi had no choice but to watch from the side.

After the dishes were done, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu made dumplings filled with bread, cabbage and pork. Northerners really can't live without dumplings. They eat dumplings every festival or important event.

He Yuzhu started three coal stoves at the same time, one for stewed crucian carp soup, one for braised pig trotters with soybeans, and the last one for stir-frying.

There is also a coal stove for cooking dumplings.

More than an hour later.

Five members of the Jia family, two members of the He family, the first two men and the deaf old lady, a total of ten people sat happily around the table.

"Old lady, uncle and aunt, pillars, rainwater, if it weren't for your help these years, I wouldn't be able to survive... Come, I'll toast you with this glass of wine..."

Qin Huairu held up the wine glass and choked with sobs. Thinking of every detail of these years, Qin Huairu was filled with emotions.

"Sister Qin, don't say that. Since you married into the Jia family, you have helped me and my brother a lot. If it weren't for you, what would my brother and I have become?"

He Yuyu said with emotion.

"Yes, we live in the same courtyard. We neighbors are like a family. Only by supporting each other can we live a better life... Let's have a drink together."

At this time, the first uncle also stood up and said.

"Yes, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. We are one family."

The deaf old lady also spoke at this time.

They were young and had no human rights, so the three Jia Yi brothers could only sit obediently and drool while smelling the aroma of the vegetables.

"Come on, old lady, eat, everyone is eating, the food will be cold by the time..."

Qin Huairu put down the wine glass, first took a piece of fat meat to the deaf old lady, and then hurriedly greeted everyone to eat.

Jia Yi stared blankly at the empty plates on the table.

Four pieces of crucian carp soup weighing more than a kilogram were all gone, four pig's trotters and braised soybeans were gone, and even the stir-fried vegetables were all gone, leaving only twenty large dumplings. The distressed Jia Zhang almost cried.

, but I couldn’t care less about my heartache. Everyone’s stomachs were full and their expressions were satisfied...

In the end, all the guests went home with their stomachs full and their waists in hand.

"Brother, everyone knows the situation at Sister Qin's house. Why is she willing to pay such a high price to treat us today? She can't even afford to treat us with her salary!"

He Yuzhu and his uncle helped the deaf old lady go home, and He Yuzhu also followed her all the way to the old lady's house to walk around and eat.

Everyone looked at He Yuzhu in confusion.

"It should have something to do with Xiao Yi. This kid has changed a lot recently... His name suddenly changed, and I don't see him much in the courtyard anymore."

"You still have a sharp eye. I never thought that Xiao Yi is now working as a broker in the pigeon market. It seems that he has made a lot of money."

"Isn't this just speculation... Xiao Yi is only twelve years old."

"Yu Yu, you know the situation of the Jia family. They live on Qin Huairu's salary alone. It's hard for the family to even have enough to eat. What can we do if we don't think of other ways!"

The first man's tone was low. It was obvious that he was not very interested. Although he was an eighth-level fitter with a monthly salary of ninety-nine yuan, he was a good man and would help those who couldn't make it in the compound. The Jia family was just one of them.

That’s all.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Moreover, the uncle has seen it thoroughly. Although He Yuzhu has a bad temper, impulsive personality, retribution, and unforgiving words, he has a kind nature. So in the original drama, he

When He Yuzhu took revenge on the third uncle, he paid ninety-five yuan to buy a tire to compensate the third uncle.

A man like Xu Damao doesn't take any notice of him. Xu Damao doesn't even want to give him anything, because he just doesn't want to have anything to do with him.

Later, when the first uncle saw that the situation was not right, he took advantage of the situation and retreated, living his own life with peace of mind.

The way the gentleman behaves is commendable.

"Okay, don't talk too much about Xiao Yi, and don't ask. No matter who asks, just say you don't know."

The deaf old lady concluded. The ears of the deaf old lady are really not working well at times...

"Old lady Shengming, we don't know anything."

He Yuyu looked at his brother with a confused face, then looked at the people in the room. He muttered softly;

"Why don't I understand it well? Why do I feel that my brother shouldn't be called Silly Zhu? I'm the stupid one."

Everyone in the room laughed.

"Yes, you are stupid. Let's go home."

He Yuzhu said that he took his sister and left.

"Brother, why?"

"What Xiao Yi does is easy to get into trouble, and no one can know about it. So no matter who asks about Xiao Yi, or what his purpose is, just say you don't know. If one more person knows, Xiao Yi will

A little more dangerous."

"My silly sister, there are things you can do but can't say..." He said and touched He Yuyu's head.

"Humph, you are stupid..."

He Yuyu rolled his eyes, turned around and went back to his room.

The Jia family has tidied up.

Jia Yi looked at Qin Huairu and suddenly felt something in his heart.

"Mom, is there someone named Liu Lan in your factory?"

"Yes, she is your colleague from Uncle He's cafeteria... Why are you asking her?"

"I was listening to people chatting in Pigeon City today and heard a piece of news. I don't know whether it is true or not."
