Chapter 599 She did it on purpose
This is stated directly.
Chen Kaiming and Chen Guobiao looked at each other and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"There's nothing we can do about being stingy. The conditions in the village are like this. It's hard to be the head of a family without money." Chen Kaiming explained.
"Listening to what uncle said, it feels like the clerk is the housekeeper's wife." Chen Hui joked.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
Chen Guobiao, who was traveling with us, suddenly laughed out loud and talked about some interesting stories about the clerk.
The clerk's name is Quan Xianhong.
She has a delicate appearance and looks younger than some women.
When he first started working in the village community, they all liked to make fun of him.
Either he is called Ah Hong or Xiao Hong.
Every time he gets so angry that he jumps up and down.
It was only when I got older that people started calling me clerk.
The three of them arrived at the bridge talking and laughing.
Chen Kaiming and Chen Guobiao went to the village to arrange for subsidies and organize villagers to deal with the wooden planks on the road.
Although the project was in charge of Wang Kunhua.
But after all, it is a village matter, and they still have a lot of preparation to do.
Chen Hui went to Chen Guobiao's house and called Wang Hongxia.
The two of them returned to Chen Hui's house together and heard noisy sounds coming from next door.
Wang Hongmei and An Wenjing worked in pairs, standing at the door of their home, leaning their heads out and listening.
"Liping and Xiaohong are arguing again? What's it about this time?"
Guo Hongxia knocked on Wang Hongmei's door and asked.
She won't gossip on her own initiative, but if the gossip is brought to her door, she will still be curious.
"Listen, they're still arguing." Wang Hongmei said with great joy.
Chen Hui also listened.
Chen Liping found out about the matter of lending wooden planks to villagers who had money to pay for it.
Getting angry at Ding Xiaohong.
He thought she was too stingy this time. Not only did she offend the village chief, but she also lost two dollars in vain.
Ding Xiaohong is not someone who can be criticized, and she cursed even louder than Chen Liping.
They think he is incompetent, lacks physical strength, and is not as capable as other men.
They also scolded him for not knowing how to behave as a human being, for being looked down upon in the production team and for getting less land than others.
"They are arguing so fiercely today. Should we go and try to persuade them? Will they start fighting?" Guo Hongxia asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, a fight won't get to this level," said Wang Hongmei.
Chen Hui nodded.
Having been neighbors with Chen Liping's family for so many years, I have some predictions about how the situation will develop.
"Chen Hui, has your guest left?"
"Have you finished your food? If there's anything left, I'll go try a bite."
Wang Hongmei said this and walked in with a smile.
"Aunt Hongmei, when I went to your house, you didn't even let me eat what you and Uncle Guogang left."
"You come to my house, how can I let you eat other people's leftovers?"
"Come sit down, let's eat something delicious! I wasn't full just now."
Chen Hui simply collected the empty bowls and plates on the table.
He went into the kitchen and took out a large basin and two pairs of chopsticks.
He gave the chopsticks to Guo Hongxia and Wang Hongmei respectively, and said, "Try this, it's delicious."
"Wow! You still have this?"
"This is really delicious! I saw they liked it, and they ate two shrimps and didn't dare to pick up any more."
"Brother Chen Hui, why didn't you take it out just now? I saw that they were still not satisfied."
An Wenjing said in surprise.
I picked up an abalone with chopsticks and ate it.
"I did it on purpose! This is exactly the effect I wanted."
“It’s delicious, but you won’t forget it until you’ve had enough.”
“When you are satisfied and addicted to the food, you will let it go. You may even feel sick of it when you think about it again.”
Chen Hui swiped around in the soup, found half of a rusty crab, sat down and ate it slowly.
“Delicious, delicious, so delicious!”
"I've lived for decades, and this is the first time I know seafood can be so delicious."
Every time Guo Hongxia took a bite, she couldn't help but praise the food.
"Aunt Hongxia, look at this lemon."
Chen Hui picked up a slice of lemon and joked.
Guo Hongxia smiled sheepishly, "Oh! I'm just a rural woman, how could I have thought of such a high-end way of eating."
"Chen Hui, can you give me some of your soup?"
"I also go to the sea at night and get some snails and clams to soak in."
Wang Hongmei ate a conch and picked up several razor clams.
I saw there was half a big shrimp in the big bowl, but I didn't feel like taking it, so I found a green clam to eat instead.
After thinking about it, I think it would be more practical to just order some soup.
Chen Hui noticed it and directly picked up the mantis shrimp and put it into her bowl.
He shook his head and said, "It's so hot and there's no refrigerator. We can't reuse this soup."
"It's a shame to use so many seasonings only once," said Wang Hongmei regretfully.
"Pour some back home and add it into the noodles or vermicelli you cook for dinner. It will also be delicious," Chen Hui suggested.
"Okay! I'll pour some back later." Wang Hongmei said happily.
"Can I have some too?" Guo Hongxia asked.
Chen Hui nodded.
Let them take back a bowl of tomato fish head soup each.
"Okay! I'll go back and get the bowl!"
"By the way, take this back and give it to Xiao Ming when he gets home from school."
Wang Hongmei said this, happily picked up the bowl of mantis shrimps and walked out the door.
He happened to run into Chen Liping, who was going out alone in depression after having a big fight with Ding Xiaohong.
Although I am in a bad mood.
Chen Liping is quite polite when facing outsiders.
He put on an ugly smile and asked, "Sister-in-law Hong Mei, have you eaten? Where are you going?"
"I've eaten. Chen Hui gave me some mantis shrimp. I'll take it back and give it to Xiao Ming later."
"Look at this shrimp. It's so big. I've never seen one before."
"And it's delicious. Chen Hui is very good at cooking." Wang Hongmei said proudly.
"Do I need to tell you that he can cook? I live next door to him, how could I not know that?"
Ever since Chen Hui's house was built, he has cooked several meals based on the aroma coming from next door.
Chen Liping muttered something, then walked away carrying his hoe unhappily.
Wang Hongmei was very happy.
He took the small bowl and walked away smiling.
"Brother Chen Hui, why do I feel like Aunt Hong Mei is doing this on purpose?" An Wenjing said.
"Isn't this quite obvious?"
Chen Hui smiled.
I felt the alcohol was taking effect and my head started to feel a little dizzy.
After eating the crabs in the bowl, I prepared to wash my hands and drink some honey water to wake myself up.
Then I heard Huang Shuqing's voice coming from outside: "Chen Hui, I'm coming! What are you eating that smells so good?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was seen walking in from outside carrying a big bag.
"Get him a pair of chopsticks!" Chen Hui instructed An Wenjing.
He waved to Huang Shuqing and said, "Come and try it, it's clean, not leftover."
"This pot looks interesting. I've never seen it before."
Huang Shuqing took the chopsticks and picked up a shrimp, then pointed at the basin and said:
"Yeah! Delicious!"
"I've asked Guangdian to come to your house for dinner in a few days, and you have to cook this for me."
"What did you say?!" Chen Hui's voice suddenly became louder.
