Chapter 689: Ginger is still spicier when old

"You know Qiao Mei's boyfriend, right?"

"One of his relatives is in charge of the reservoir. Uncle Xiaoqiao is going fishing this afternoon, so I'll go catch some fish."

"Catch a few big ones and raise them. They can be used for the housewarming party when the time comes," Chen Hui explained.

"Brother Chen Hui, please control yourself!"

"Don't catch too many big ones, or people will be unable to turn a blind eye if they want to."

An Wenjing laughed and used a ladle to scoop rice.

Chen Hui saw it and quickly said, "Just cook for mom and Wen Yi. Uncle asked us to go to his house for lunch."

"Know it!"

"It's still early, I'll help mom cook the rice and prepare the dishes first."

An Wenjing nodded and scooped out most of the rice and put it back.

Chen Hui glanced at the rice jar and saw that there was not much rice left at home.

Ask An Wenjing to remind herself to buy an extra 50 kilograms for home consumption next time she restocks the stock.

An Wenjing cooked rice and prepared vegetables.

Chen Hui was helping to light the fire behind the stove.

Not long after, Chen Xiaoqiao sent his eldest son over to call for help.

Chen Wanqing stood outside Lin Jiao's house and shouted inside: "Brother Chen Hui, my dad is calling you to eat!"

"Okay, tell your dad and we'll be there soon!"

Chen Hui walked to the kitchen door and responded.

An Wenjing also wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen.

The two of them went out together.

Passing by the store entrance, An Wenjing shouted inside: "Mom, the vegetables have been washed and cut. Chen Hui and I are going to my uncle's house for dinner."

"Got it! Go ahead!"

Someone was buying something in the store, and Lin Jiao took the time to respond.

"Let's go!" An Wenjing said, and took Chen Hui's hand to go to Chen Kaiming's house.

When passing by the bridgehead, I happened to meet Yuan Chuanfang, Wang Shuhui and Chen Qiaomei who were returning from the village.

"Three female comrades, where are you going?" Chen Hui asked jokingly.

"The food and bowls for the workers were taken to the village community."

"The village hall is big and has plenty of benches."

"It would be nice for the workers to have a rest inside after lunch," Yuan Chuanfang said with a smile.

"Cooking for so many people? You've worked so hard, Auntie!"

"Do you want to hire two people to help you? I'll pay for their wages!" Chen Hui asked with concern.

After all, Yuan Chuanfang is old.

"No need. We have to cook every day anyway. Why should we be so tired?" Yuan Chuanfang shook his head.

"Who said I wasn't tired? I was very tired!"

"At noon, my mother washed and cut vegetables, my sister-in-law cooked, and I made the fire. I felt very tired."

"My dad will definitely not agree to ask for help."

"Chen Hui, I heard that you cook delicious meals, would you like to help?"

After Chen Qiaomei finished speaking, she smiled at Chen Hui expectantly.

"He never cooked a day when his family was building a house."

"I heard from Xiaoqiao that he was planning to hire someone to do the work when he moved to his new house."

"Wake up! He is lazier than Xiaoqiao."

Before Chen Hui could refuse, Wang Shuhui interrupted her fantasy.

Chen Hui saw that there were stairs to go down, and he quickly agreed with a smile: "Aunt Shuhui is right, I am the laziest."

"Hmph! They are unreliable just one or two of them." Chen Qiaomei sighed.

"Qiao Mei, I thought you should know me very well!" Chen Hui said with a smile.

A few people arrived at Chen Kaiming's house chatting and laughing.

Chen Guobiao and the clerk, plus He Laiyun and another master chef.

The four of them were already drinking at the table.

Seeing Chen Hui and An Wenjing coming over, he quickly invited them to join him.

"Wen Jing definitely can't drink alcohol, so she'll just drink some tea." "Chen Hui, do you want red or white?"

Chen Guobiao stood up and got glasses for the two of them, then asked, holding the large enamel cup of red wine.

"I don't drink either. I have to go fishing at the reservoir with Uncle Xiaoqiao this afternoon. If I drink too much, I'll ride my bike into the ditch."

Chen Hui waved his hand to refuse and asked Chen Qiaomei to help pour two cups of tea.

He looked around and asked, "Where's Uncle Xiaoqiao?"

"I went to the back hill to dig earthworms."

"I was thinking you guys would help deal with some people in the village this afternoon, so why are you out playing around again?"

Chen Kaiming was speaking.

He stood up and pushed Chen Guobiao, who was about to persuade Chen Hui while pouring wine into his glass, back to his own stool.

"Uncle, what you said made Master He think that there were really so many people in our village that we needed to deal with."

"Apart from those ignorant people, there are no other fools in the village who come to cause trouble for the village community."

"Even if there really are, they are no match for my uncle."

Chen Hui said convinced.

What is meant by "old ginger is the spiciest".

Those people who were able to cheat the new village chief in their previous life are no match for Chen Kaiming.

"You're just a sweet talker, but you don't do your job. You can say a lot of nice things!"

Chen Kaiming cursed with a smile.

No matter what, being complimented can make people feel happy.

"Chen Hui is just like my brother, he just relies on his mouth to bluff people!"

Chen Qiaomei brought out a few bowls of rice.

He teased and placed a bowl in front of Chen Hui.

"Qiao Mei has been really good at image management lately!"

"The clothes you bought are all very nice, and this hairstyle suits you very well."

"People who are getting married are different. Their complexions look delicate, rosy, tender and shiny."

Chen Hui looked at Chen Qiaomei who was distributing rice and said with a smile.

Now Chen Qiaomei was too embarrassed to say anything to him, so she walked away with the tray, smiling.

"Mei Qiao just said that he was just bluffing people with his mouth, but now he was bluffed himself." The clerk laughed.

Everyone laughed and started to eat happily.

After lunch, An Wenjing helped to clear the dishes and wanted to go into the kitchen to wash the dishes, but was driven out by Yuan Chuanfang.

"Forget it, let's go home first. I also need to go back to get something."

"No one will disturb you in the afternoon. You can read quietly at home this afternoon."

Chen Hui said this and took An Wenjing back home.

I went upstairs and got a set of clothes to change into.

There are no other shellfish, shrimps or crabs to catch in the reservoir, and he doesn't even look at small fish.

Chen Hui packed three large net bags and took them with him.

When I was thinking about loading the fish into the net bag and returning to Chenjia Village from Xishan Town, most of the fish were dead.

I found a water tank of the right size and secured it to the back of the motorcycle with a rope.

All the clothes, net bags, gloves and other things were thrown into the water tank.

Chen Xiaoqiao prepared the bait and came over, but was dumbfounded when he saw this.

"Chen Hui, you really have a motorcycle?!"

"You're bringing a water tank with you? Are you planning to buy some supplies?"

Chen Hui grinned and smiled harmlessly, "Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate if I went to purchase goods?"

"If you want to say it's appropriate, then it's definitely a little inappropriate."

"But Qiao Mei and Wang Hongjun will also be there in the afternoon. If his relatives have any objections, ask him to deal with it."

As Chen Xiaoqiao spoke, he put his own things into the water tank.

"Don't worry. If I really have any objections, I can handle his relatives myself without Wang Hongjun's help."

Chen Hui opened the small door in the corner of the room and stepped onto the motorcycle.

He raised his head and motioned Chen Xiaoqiao to get in the car.
