If he hadn't kept his identity as village chief in mind and couldn't be embarrassed, he would have had to take a closer look.
The dishes were steaming hot and the air was filled with the aroma of meat. He instantly felt very hungry.
He never expected that Chen Zhaozhao and the others would be so willing. He had never seen such a sumptuous meal in his life.
Zhao Youchang felt that this trip was worth it. Wu Sanqiang and the others had never seen such a sumptuous meal. They did not expect Liu Guihua and the others to cook such a sumptuous meal. It was also an eye-opener.
Even Yu Jinggui didn't expect Liu Guihua and the others to be so willing.
This greatly changed his impression of their family. At first, he didn't know much about their family, but he only heard the villagers talking about how they were weak and easy to bully because they had no boys.
Later, what happened to Chen Zhaozhao, and his impression of them was extremely bad. How could a family that could raise such a girl be any better?
But after this contact, he found that he did not have a clear understanding of them.
Taking this table of dishes as an example, no one in Lishan Village would be so generous. Not to mention Lishan Village, most people in the city would not be able to be so generous.
They will definitely save the food and eat it slowly.
Of course, it cannot be said that generous people are necessarily good, but generous people are naturally more generous than stingy people.
All the meals were served, and because there were many people, they were divided into two tables, one for men and one for women. The dishes on the table were all the same, but the portions on the men's side were larger.
Chen Dawang didn't know how to speak politely. He just thanked everyone and invited everyone to eat.
Everyone's stomachs were already growling due to the aroma. Finally, they were able to eat, and everyone started eating without any politeness.
As soon as the food came into their mouth, everyone was shocked. Everyone had eaten fish before, but they had never known that fish could be so delicious.
"Wow~ This is so delicious." Wu Sanqiang, the most cheerful, exclaimed first, "Auntie, your craftsmanship is really good."
"These are not made by me, but by Da Mei." Liu Guihua said with a smile.
"Sister Damei, you are so awesome!" Wu Sanqiang immediately turned to praise Chen Damei, then turned to Zhang Genshan and said: "Brother Genshan, you are so lucky~"
Zhang Genshan smiled happily. He was not good at words, so he smiled and nodded sheepishly.
Chen Damei was also very embarrassed to be praised. No one had ever praised her like this, and no one said that Zhang Genshan was lucky to have her as his wife.
Since she was a child, she was looked down upon because she was a girl. Later, she found an honest and dull man and got married for four years without any children. They have always been looked down upon and never envied.
It can be seen that Wu Sanqiang's praise was sincere, and others also praised him one after another, even Zhao Youchang praised him again and again.
Yu Jinggui hadn't eaten yet when they praised him. He originally thought it was a compliment from them because they were ignorant or polite. But when he tasted the dish, he realized that their words were not exaggerated at all.
He has eaten in the best state-owned restaurants in the provincial capital, experienced hardships and enjoyed blessings, both bad and good. He is a person who does not have many requirements or ideas about eating.
But when he ate these dishes, he realized that the food could be so delicious. At first, he thought it was because of the meat. But when the cabbage and green vegetables cooked alone were also so delicious, he understood the importance of cooking skills.
It turns out that someone's cooking skills really can make food so delicious. It's no exaggeration to say that it turns rotten food into something magical.
The meal ended in a warm atmosphere, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
The food was all finished because it was so delicious. Everyone ate more than usual. It was rare for them to eat so happily. Even Yu Jinggui ate more than usual.
More importantly, none of them felt stomach upset due to eating too much.
You should know that your stomach usually doesn't have much oil and water, and if you suddenly eat too much, you will easily have diarrhea, and your stomach will feel bloated and uncomfortable before you have diarrhea.
But this time I ate a lot but didn't feel bloated and uncomfortable, which was amazing.
After lunch, after a short rest, Zhao Youchang, Wu Sanqiang and the others left.
Yu Jinggui was here to do some business. He had finished his business yesterday and was supposed to go back to the provincial capital in the afternoon. However, he was delayed all night and had to leave this afternoon.
But before leaving, he still had to discuss Chen Xiaoni's matter with Chen Zhaozhao's family.
After everyone left, Chen Zhaozhao was no longer lying in the room. She came to the main room and sat with everyone around the brazier.
"Comrade Yu, we all support Zhaozhao. Please stop talking about this matter. Don't worry, we will treat Xiaoni well and raise her well," Liu Guihua said.
"You just think that what we can give Xiaoni is not as good as yours." Chen Zhaozhao said, "Well, give me a month and I will prove that I can raise Xiaoni well."
Yu Jinggui just said that he has something to do and will be free in a month.
Transportation was inconvenient in this era. It took two days to get from the provincial capital to Lishan Village. You had to take a train to the city, then take a bus from the city to the county seat and then walk to the village.
"Okay." Yu Jinggui finally compromised. In fact, before he heard the conversation between Chen Zhaozhao and Chen Simei, he had decided that since Chen Zhaozhao was reluctant to let go of his daughter, he would let her raise her for a while longer.
Maybe after a while, she will regret it. Now she proposes a month, which is just right.
"I will come back in a month. If your family is still in the same condition then, I will definitely take Xiaoni away."
"Okay." Chen Zhaozhao nodded.
Yu Jinggui took out a few food stamps totaling fifty kilograms from his pocket, as well as ten worth ten yuan, and handed them to Chen Dawang, "Uncle, these are for Xiaoni. I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring many tickets."
With the money, you take these first."
Because he didn't want to be too high-profile and arouse jealousy, Yu Jinggui only exchanged ten kilograms of rice today, so now he gave the food stamps and money directly to Chen Dawang, asking him to change it if he didn't have rice, and buy whatever he wanted.
In fact, he didn't bring these with him, but he borrowed them from several people in the county when he went to town before.
"No, we can't accept it." Chen Dawang refused without thinking.
"Yes, we can't accept it." Liu Guihua also said in fear, "You have helped us a lot this time. We have bought so many things today and we can no longer accept your tickets and money."
"Just keep it, it's for Xiaoni." Yu Jinggui insisted.
"No, no, no." Chen Dawang refused repeatedly.
Yu Jinggui put the tickets and money directly on the table.
Chen Zhaozhao reached out and picked up the money and tickets.
Chen Dawang frowned, and Liu Guihua was about to say something to her.
Chen Zhaozhao handed the money and the ticket to Yu Jinggui and said, "We have accepted enough of the things you bought today. I don't want people to think that we are keeping Xiaoni because we are thinking about your things."
Yu Jinggui frowned. It had to be said that this idea had appeared in his mind.
Chen Zhaozhao continued: "If you want to give Xiaoni something, wait a month, and give it according to Xiaoni's share."
Yu Jinggui is Xiaoni's father. He has the responsibility and obligation to provide Xiaoni with child support. She will receive what is due, but she will not ask for more.
"That's okay." Yu Jinggui collected the ticket and money, got on his bicycle and hurried away without saying anything else.
He borrowed the bicycle from someone in the county.
Seeing his figure disappear outside the hospital, Chen Zhaozhao breathed out secretly.
Liu Guihua asked worriedly and anxiously, "Zhaozhao, why did you make an appointment with Comrade Yu for a month? What can happen to our family in a month?"
