Chen Jingjing's grandfather's name was He Qiang. He was an old comrade who had joined the base two years ago.
After so many years in the army, he had killed at least a hundred Japanese. After that, he crossed the Yalu River and fought in the north for several years. He could be considered to have been on the battlefield for a long time.
After the founding of the country, He Qiang became a regiment commander of the Beijing Military Region. It seemed that he was also a regiment commander of the trump card unit.
However, he had retired two years ago and was now in a sanatorium. No matter how big the trend outside was, it could not spread to the sanatorium.
The only pity was that He Qiang originally had two sons, but both of them were dead. Now, the He family only had He Ping left.
Although Chen Jingjing's surname wasn't He, He Qiang still doted on her. Almost every time she went to the sanatorium, He Qiang would give Chen Jingjing the food he had saved up. Therefore, every time she heard that she was going to visit her grandfather, it was also the happiest time for Chen Jingjing.
"Study, don't worry. I definitely won't forget you. I'll leave two pieces of chocolate for you to try.”
With a wave of her hand, Chen Jing Jing did not embarrass herself with the nickname General Ganfan.
"It's not just me. There's also Big Brother Resisting America and North Korea. Don't forget the two of them.”
Yi Xuexi reminded. As for chocolate, he didn't really like it.
There were too many chocolates in the future, but because of his toothache, he couldn't touch them at all. He could only watch from the side.
"Oh right, there's still the War to Resist America and the North Korea. I'll bring you six pieces of chocolate when the time comes.”
Reaching out her hand to calculate, the multiplication formula was still a little difficult for the current Chen Jingjing.
While the two of them were talking, Li Baocai also brought things over. This time, he also brought ten catties of pork and two big fish that were ten catties. After Chen Jingjing saw the fish, she did not bother Yi Xuexue anymore. Instead, she asked He Pingping to help her compete with the fish.
Seeing Li Baocai, Yan Jiecheng quickly stood up and called out to Deputy Director Li. Now that Li Baocai had been appointed as the Deputy Director, everyone in the rolling mill knew about this.
After meeting each other, the three men began to talk about Director Li.
Li Baocai did not have anything good to say about this family member. This was partly because of Liu Lan, and partly because Li Baocai's name was not on the list that Director Li had submitted. If it was not because of Li Baocai's uncle, who had directly sent the list back for Director Li to redo, Li Baocai might not even have been able to enter the working group this time.
However, Director Li was very sensible. After Li Baocai and Chen Nuanjin treated him to a meal at a restaurant outside, he knew that Li Baocai's uncle was the deputy director of the municipal office and that He Qiang was behind Chen Nuanjin. He obediently added Li Baocai's name.
Chen Nuanjin was aware of this matter, so she naturally had a lot of opinions about Director Li.
The two of them did not say anything good about Director Li, and Yan Jiecheng naturally did not say anything good about Director Li. The three of them scolded Director Li for a long time, and it was almost time for dinner.
Aunt Yi was about to cook when Yan Jiecheng stopped her.
"Aunt Yi, don't do it. I don't have much ability, but I still know how to cook. I can take this opportunity to let you taste the cooking skills that Grandpa Yi taught me previously.”
As soon as Yan Jiecheng stood up, Yu Li naturally helped him by pulling Aunt Yi's hand to prevent her from getting up.
"That's good. You guys have left so many things behind this time. How can you still have the cheek to let you guys take action?”
Aunt Yi was a little embarrassed. Her family and the Yan family were both in the front and back yard, so she naturally knew that Yan Jiecheng had only cooked a few times at home. This made Aunt San secretly criticize him several times.
"Aunt Yi, just watch. You didn't hear it just now. My master taught Jie Cheng how to cook. I still don't know when my master will know how to cook.”
Li Baocai and Chen Nuanjin also stood up to stop Aunt One. With He Pingping and Yu Li, Aunt One could forget about making a move today.
Now, every family's kitchen was located outside. Therefore, when Yan Jiecheng was cooking, Qin Huiru and Silly Zhu, who were also cooking outside, saw him. Yan Jiecheng did not even look at Qin Huiru. Yu Li at home was a serious tigress. If Yu Li saw him talking to Qin Huiru, she would definitely make him unable to sleep for four to five days.
However, seeing Yan Jiecheng cooking outside, Silly Zhu couldn't help but come over to take a look. Because Yan Jiecheng was now the head chef in the canteen, Silly Zhu could only sweep the floor in the rolling mill. Although he had more money in his hands than before, Silly Zhu was still unconvinced.
Anyway, he didn't believe that Yan Jiecheng could beat him in cooking.
Yan Jiecheng didn't chase him away when he saw that Silly Zhu's attitude was good. After the two of them exchanged a few words, Yan Jiecheng started cooking in front of Silly Zhu.
After watching from the side for a while, Silly Zhu realized that Yan Jiecheng's cooking skills had improved a lot recently. In the past, Yan Jiecheng was good at stir-frying Shandong dishes, but now, looking at Yan Jiecheng's movements, he had already started to use small fire and short flame.
In terms of fire control, Yan Jiecheng was not much worse than Silly Zhu.
After Yan Jiecheng finished cooking and placed it in the bowl, even Shazhu couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. To be able to arrange the stir-fried vegetables in a shape in the bowl, this plate laying skill had surpassed his.
It could even be placed like this in a bowl, let alone on a plate.
Just by seeing Yan Jiecheng cook a dish full of spring, Silly Zhu knew that he could not compete with Yan Jiecheng for the head chef of the canteen.
Yan Jiecheng smiled in his heart as he looked at Shazhu. Strictly speaking, his skills were still far from Shazhu's. Shazhu had been cooking for so many years, how could he surpass her in such a short time?
However, if the overall standard was not better, it might not be the case for a single dish. In the past half a month, he had made it countless times. It could be said that this dish was already comparable to the standard of a national hotel.
Silly Zhu also knew that Yan Jiecheng was in the canteen now. If he came out to take on private work, with his current skills, the meal would probably cost more than ten yuan.
After the dishes were done, they were brought into the house. He Pingping and Yu Li began to clean up. At this moment, someone came.
"Aunt Yi, you're really lively here.”
Liu Jiacai walked in with the pork in his hand.
When they saw Liu Jiacai, everyone naturally stood up to welcome him. Liu Jiacai was now in the police station. Although he did not have much power, the county magistrate was not as good as the current one. No one knew when they would trouble him.
For example, if Liu Jiacai had said something, perhaps Silly Zhu wouldn't have to go to the detention center. He wouldn't have to lose his job. Therefore, even Li Baocai didn't dare to underestimate Liu Jiacai.
"Jia Cai, why are you here? Didn't you come here before? Where's Yu Shui? Why didn't she come back with you?”
Looking behind Liu Jiacai, Aunt Yi didn't see He Yushui.
" Hai, that time I was returning home, and this time I'm here to deliver the New Year's goods. How can this be the same thing? After getting up today, Yushui felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to come, but I didn't let her come. But don't worry, my sister Yicai is taking care of her at home. She definitely can't bear the grievances.”
After meeting each other, Liu Jiacai also placed the pork behind the door. Now, the New Year goods behind the door were almost full.
"Yu Shui is sick. Is it serious?”
Aunt Yi was a little anxious when she heard that He Yushui was sick.
"It's okay. I might have caught a cold from the rain recently. I often feel a little uncomfortable, but it doesn't last long each time. At most, it will be fine in the afternoon.”
Liu Jiacai comforted him. Of course, he had asked He Yushui to go to the hospital for a check-up, but He Yushui was worried about the money and refused to go no matter what. He could only let his sister take good care of him.
Anyway, Liu Yicai was on winter vacation now. It would be a waste not to use this kind of labor. As for whether Liu Yicai was willing or not, she did not think about who gave her the house she was living in now.
After comforting Aunt One, the few of them started eating together. Because there were many people, the four men were definitely at the dining table below. As for the women and children, they were at the table on the bed.
Coincidentally, Chen Nuanjin had brought two bottles of good wine with her, so she opened one for the men to drink.
It was only this bottle of good wine that matched Yan Jiecheng's national banquet dishes.
With Chen Jing Jing around, there was no lack of laughter when they ate. Yan Jiecheng had specially made sweet potatoes for the two children, and more than half of them were snatched away by Chen Jing Jing.
During the meal, the men talked about Li Baocai's life. Now that Li Baocai had become an associate director, and the youngest associate director in the working group, it was time for him to get married.
Coincidentally, Yu Li's sister, Yu Haitang, was also in the publicity department of the rolling mill, so Yan Jiecheng suggested that Li Baocai and Yu Haitang try.
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Li Baocai also agreed. After all, he was the only one at the table. It was impossible to say that he was not anxious.
Yi Xuexi couldn't help but laugh when he vaguely heard what happened at that table.
If he remembered correctly, in the original novel, Yu Haitang was almost together with Silly Zhu. Xu Damao was even involved in this matter. But now, with Li Baocai's help, he no longer had to worry.
Yu Haitang was not stupid. Li Baocai was now the deputy director and had an uncle in the city office. With such conditions, he was much better than Silly Zhu.
If anyone had to say who was the happiest at this meal, it would definitely be Aunt Yi.
Although there were so many people in the house and it was quite messy, the Yi family had not been so lively for many years. The last time the Yi family was so lively was when Yi Xuexi was born.
Moreover, with these people around, she and Yi Zhonghai did not have to worry about being bullied. If anyone dared to bully their family, they had Yan Jiecheng, Chen Nuanjin, Li Baocai, and Liu Jiacai. No matter how bold others were, they would not dare to bully their family.
The Yi Family's lively voice naturally spread to the other two families in the middle court.
Silly Zhu was drinking alone. The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. Although he was sweeping the floor in the rolling mill, his monthly private work and salary added up to more than 40 yuan. Why was it that other people's houses were so lively, but his house was silent?
Especially that Liu Jiacai. He was his brother-in-law. He had let it go before, but now that he finally came to the quad, he should at least come to his brother-in-law's place first. He didn't want his things and just wanted someone to talk to him. Why was such a simple matter so difficult?
After thinking about it, Silly Zhu still felt that he should try his best to find someone to marry him. At that time, no matter what, there would be someone to watch over him and not let him drink.
Just as Silly Zhu was making up his mind, Qin Huiru was fuming at home.
Looking at the lives of other families and then looking at her own, it was impossible for Qin Huairu not to be angry.
"Mom, I want to eat meat too."
The stick was also talking at the side. The fragrance of the meat cooked by the Yi family naturally drifted into the Jia family's house. The stick smelled the fragrance of the meat and could no longer eat the wild vegetable bread on the table.
"Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. Why don't you think of something else? How did you score in your exams this year? Look at that Yi Xuexue. Why did he get two certificates? Moreover, his test papers were placed on the school's bulletin board. Awesome, can you be more competitive? I don't expect you to get full marks, nor do I expect you to bring a certificate home. But you have to pass, right? But what about you? You passed.”
Qin Huairu was just worrying about not having a place to vent her anger.
Actually, Qin Huairu wasn't to be blamed for this. After all, the results of the idol this time were too bad.
In the past, even though it was rare for a boy to score full marks, he could still pass. However, this time, he only scored slightly more than 80 marks for the two subjects. This made Qin Huiru feel embarrassed to mention it. When the workmates in the workshop told her how many marks their child had scored, Qin Huiru tactfully hid far away. She was even embarrassed to interrupt.
After reading the meme, she looked at Yi Xuexi. Even she knew that Yi Xuexi had done exceptionally well in the exam this time. The test paper had been placed on the school's bulletin board. It was enough to show that everyone in the rolling mill knew about this. Others said that Yi Zhonghai was 'better off early than early'. To have such a son, Yi Zhonghai was much luckier than others.
Moreover, it was fine if the stick was the only one who did badly. Due to the stick, Little Dang and Huai Hua had been skipping classes frequently recently. Therefore, they did not do well in the exams this time and could only be considered average. Their three children did not even get a single certificate, but the Yi family's child only got two certificates. How could Qin Huiru not be angry?
"What's the use of doing well? If you do well, you won't be able to go to university. Our family isn't as good as others.”
The meme was still a little unconvinced. Although he was young, he knew something. He naturally knew that no matter how good his grades were, he would not be able to go to university.
"Awesome, I think you want to be beaten up again.”
She angrily put down her chopsticks. Qin Huiru wanted to look for a broom, but Grandma Stick Stick naturally stopped her. In addition, Xiao Dang and Huai Hua were crying because of their craving and fear. Their house was even livelier than the Yi family's.
Over at the Yi family's side, they had also decided on the order of their arrival during the New Year.
Liu Jiacai must have come on the second day of the new year. Now, He Shuiyu had already treated Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi as her biological parents, so she naturally had to go back to her mother's house on the second day of the new year.
As for Li Baocai, he would also come over when the time came. Anyway, he was also being pestered at home to go out and find a partner. He might as well come to the Yi family to lie low.
On the other hand, Yan Jiecheng couldn't take it anymore. He had to go to Yu Li's family on the second day of junior high school, but he asked Li Baocai to leave later. When he came back, he could bring Yu Haitang along for him to meet.
There was also Chen Nuanjin. He had to go to the sanatorium during the new year and would only be back on the fifth day of the new year. Hence, he planned to come over on the sixth day of the new year.
After dinner, Liu Jiacai was about to go back. He was now a patrol officer, so he was busy during the new year. This time, he had applied for a two-hour leave. He also had to go home to see He Yushui, who was not feeling well, so he could not stay long.
