Chapter 709 The County Magistrate's Unwelcome Request

I just ate a few bites of food.

Chen Huihong came in and shouted, "Chen Hui, Wen Jing, it's time to toast."

"I can go by myself, you can enjoy your meal here."

Chen Hui stood up by himself and pushed An Wenjing back.

"Isn't that bad? People will talk about this, right?"

"I asked my aunt to prepare some warm water for me. I'll just drink it later."

An Wenjing looked up at Chen Hui and said.

"It's okay, just tell them you're pregnant. Nothing could be more important than having a baby."

"I heard from mom a few days ago that some old ladies came to buy things and they started to play crickets. Why haven't you heard from them yet?"

"I'm just here to shut them up, so just enjoy your meal."

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he took out the boiled water prepared for An Wenjing and his own small cup.

"Chen Hui, aren't you being too insincere? Using boiling water to mix white wine?!" Huang Shuqing shouted.

"Don't be so loud, or someone might hear you."

Chen Hui said with a smile, then walked out with a cup in each hand.

I saw Li Da’s family of five.

After cooking, I set up a small table next to the stove and ate.

I cooked white rice with the rice I brought myself, and the dishes were also the pickles I brought from home.

It is normal that those who come to help do not sit at the table, after all, five people are already sitting at half the table.

Seeing them eating pickles and white rice happily, Chen Hui felt a little bit sorry for them.

He walked over and asked, "Master Li, why don't you pack some dishes yourself and bring them over to go with the rice?"

"No, no, we have always been like this!"

"Those dishes were bought by portion, so there weren't any extras to begin with."

"Boss, go and make a toast. We'll just take care of the two and then go pack up."

Li Da's father held the bowl, stood up and said with a smile.

He looked a few years older than Wu Shuisheng, and his smile had the simple feeling of working people.

"Hey, you can't just eat it like that. Wait for me."

Chen Hui placed the cup on their small table.

Entering Chen Kaiming's kitchen, a large bowl of cooked fish and vegetables was brought out.

"Oh, Boss, you are too polite!"

"Really, that's not necessary. We've always arranged it ourselves!"

Li Da saw Chen Hui coming out with a big bowl and quickly stood up to greet him politely.

"Eat well so you have the strength to work. Take your time eating. I'm going to go and make a toast."

Chen Hui handed the fish to Li Da and took the glass to toast.

Huang Xiulian saw it inside.

He smiled and looked at An Wenjing and said:
"Chen Hui is a really good guy. He is very sensible at such a young age."

"Come to think of it, you've been pregnant for three or four months now, right? How do you feel? You don't look fat at all."

Speaking of this, An Wenjing still felt a little puzzled.

"It will be four months next week and I still don't feel anything. I don't know if I should go get it checked out again."

Lin Yumei happily took over the conversation and said, "Then you must be pregnant with a son. I have given birth to three, and all of them had very little reaction."

"When I gave birth to my eldest daughter, my reaction was also small," said Chen Xiangdi.

The lesbians immediately had a common topic.

After Chen Hui finished toasting everyone, the people at the table even changed their seats.

Several men sat together and chatted.

Several women sat together and chatted with An Wenjing.

Chen Hui sat down at the junction of men and women, and for a moment he felt like he couldn't get a word in either side.

I simply filled a large bowl of fish and ate it myself.

"Hey, have a drink!"

Huang Shuqing sat next to Chen Hui and picked up the wine glass and clinked it with his.

Chen Hui put down his chopsticks and picked up his "white wine"

"It's fine if you fool others, but you also fool me?"

"If you take this, I won't drink with you." Huang Shuqing said, putting the cup back on the table. "Just owe it to me first, and I'll pay it back next time."

"Didn't I go to the mountain to pick fruit for you this afternoon?"

"With my alcohol tolerance, I don't need to go after just one glass."

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he drank the water in the cup with a smile.

Huang Shuqing ignored him, ate a piece of fried acorn paste, and went to drink with Huang Jianwei.

We had a lively lunch.

As usual, the villagers prepared to help clean up the dishes after dinner.

"The villagers still have work to do in the fields, so we can do this."

"The boss paid us to come here to cook and wash dishes."

Li Da and several others immediately stopped the crowd.

"Hey, young comrade, how much do you want to work like this for a day?"

Mr. Chen asked curiously.

His family will soon be hosting housewarming banquets for his two sons.

"There are five of us who came to work."

"Buying groceries, preparing the banquet, washing dishes and cleaning up will cost fifty yuan."

"If the owner buys and prepares the food himself, we cook, wash and clean up, and that's only 30 yuan."

After Li Da's father said this, the smile on Old Man Chen's face suddenly faded.

He said frankly that he couldn't afford it and walked away shaking his head.

The few people didn't say anything and started to pack up their things quickly.

Chen Hui and An Wenjing together escorted the people from Dasha Village and the county town to the village entrance.

"Brother Chen Hui, what are you looking at?"

An Wenjing saw that everyone had left, but Chen Hui was still standing at the entrance of the village looking forward.

I followed and looked at it, and asked in confusion.

"Thinking that so many people came here just for us, I just felt a little emotional!"

"Let's go, let's go back!"

Chen Hui smiled and walked back holding An Wenjing's hand.

Before he even reached the door of Lin Jiao's house, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Chen Hui! Comrade Chen Hui, please wait a moment!"

Chen Hui looked back.

Wang Zijian pushed a bicycle and chased down from the direction of the village entrance.

"Comrade Zijian, why are you here?" Chen Hui asked puzzledly.

After all, he said he would call again this morning.

"I thought you might not be available to answer the phone, so some things are easier to talk about in person."

"I had nothing to do this afternoon, so I came here by myself."

Two villagers passed by with farm tools.

Seeing Chen Hui talking to a stranger, he looked back curiously.

Wang Zijian noticed it and asked with a smile: "Comrade Chen Hui, is there a suitable place to talk?"

"Let's go to my mother-in-law's house. It's over there."

Chen Hui pointed and led Wang Zijian to Lin Jiao's house.

An Wenjing went into the house and made tea for the two of them, then went to Chen Kaiming's house and helped him do some finishing work.

"Comrade Chen Hui, are you free next Wednesday?"

"Can I reserve a table for lunch that day? About seven or eight people."

Wang Zijian saw An Wenjing had also left, so he went straight to the point and asked.

"Well today is Friday, I'm free next Wednesday."

"What does County Magistrate Xu want? Let me make it clear first! As for seafood dishes, I can only try my best to satisfy you, but I can't guarantee that I can do it."

"After all, I'm just a fisherman, not the Dragon King."

Chen Hui spoke first and emphasized.

"The dishes are easy to discuss. The county magistrate has no specific requirements."

"That's right. We have an unwelcome request."

Wang Zijian said this with an awkward smile.
