Chapter 133
“Brother, can you lend me your round table plate?”
Rural families usually use square tables. There are not too few tables, but it is a bit crowded to sit ten people, and it is not easy to put too many dishes.
Zhao Ping has a round table plate at home, which is a tabletop that can be directly stacked on the square table. Add a layer of glass surface and it becomes a rotating round table.
“Don’t worry about it. I will take care of it later.”
“Aqin, have you calculated how many dishes there are?”
“Sister-in-law, don’t make too many dishes, just enough. We have fish and shrimp at home. I bought some ribs, don’t braise them, stew them in a pot when the time comes.
Also, roast one chicken and one duck. I also bought braised dishes and two seasonal vegetables.”
He had already agreed with his sister-in-law about the chicken and duck last night. He just saw that his sister-in-law had killed and cleaned them all and hung them in the kitchen with a vegetable cover.
Originally, he wanted to pay 100 yuan, but his sister-in-law said a few words to him.
After the meal, Zhao Qin took a plate, put some rice on it, and picked up all the fish soup and meat soup, as well as the bones on the table into the plate.
“Why, you raised a dog?” Zhao Ping saw him picking up these things, and he was sure it was not for people to eat.
“Well, I picked up a dog, I don’t know what bit it, I felt sorry for it and brought it home last night.”
Zhao Ping didn’t want him to raise a dog in his heart. After all, once it goes out to sea, it won’t come back for a day. If it is not raised well, it will become a wild dog again, and it will be troublesome if it bites people.
But he was afraid to say it out, and his brother would think too much, after all, his brother was eating and drinking at home.
“Don’t worry, if I’m not at home, I will let the old lady help feed it. She is closer to the old house.”
“You can make your own ideas.”
Zhao Qin probably knew what his elder brother was thinking. It was not that he was reluctant to give up this little rice and grain, but he was mainly afraid that he would not be able to raise it well and cause trouble. He couldn’t explain it anymore, so he went home with the plate.
The dog was lying on the chicken coop under the eaves. Maybe because of the smell of alcohol and disinfectant on its body, flies and the like really didn’t dare to get close.
Hearing the footsteps in the distance, it pricked up its ears first, then raised its head, looked at Zhao Qin’s figure getting closer and closer, and then its tail began to wag happily.
“Silly dog, eat.”
Zhao Qin walked closer and poured the food on the plate into the broken bowl before, then went back to the room and took out the disinfection and bandages.
After opening the previously wrapped legs, the dog trembled again, but it did not stop eating, and it made a humming sound to protect the food. Zhao Qin knocked its head angrily, and the dog stopped making the sound.
Fortunately, the wound was not red and swollen, so it was probably not infected. After changing the medicine, the dog finished his meal, and Zhao Qin poured some water into the bowl before lying down to rest.
Thinking about Lao Lin’s possible reaction, he fell asleep in a short while.
Ah He came at around 2 o’clock, and the old lady came with him, “Is there anything I can do for you?”
“Grandma, you just need to rest in this hot weather. I’ve talked to my sister-in-law and she’ll do it.”
“Arong has Miaomiao to take care of at home, how can she be so busy alone? I’ll go over and see if there’s anything I can help with.” After the old lady finished speaking, she walked towards her eldest brother’s house.
Zhao Qin knew he couldn’t stop her, so he simply stopped being polite.
“Brother, is there anything I can do for you?”
“You’re just in time, help me clean up.”
Zhao Qin couldn’t clean up every day, so he insisted on a small sweep every two days and a big sweep every half a month. Thinking that Ah He could help, he cleaned up the house inside and out.
Before he finished cleaning, Lao Xing actually came.
“Why are you here so early?”
“Didn’t I say earlier that I’d come to help in advance? What can I do?”
Zhao Qin pointed to the broom and asked him to sweep the floor at home. Since someone was here, he naturally wouldn’t waste labor.
Although Lao Xing was a five-guarantee, he was not sloppy. He was much more attentive than Ah He. The three of them were much faster. After cleaning, Lao Xing pulled Zhao Qin to the camphor tree outside to smoke.
“Ah Qin, Secretary Lin came to me early in the morning and asked if you could withdraw?”
“Withdraw from what?”
“Okay, you’re still trying to trick me. You invited all the production team leaders to dinner for no reason. You just want to run for election.”
Zhao Qin exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a flat tone: “Lao Xing, I didn’t think so. Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Okay, okay, I misunderstood. What do you mean? If you don’t want to talk to Lao Lin, I’ll just find a reason to get rid of this matter.”
“What are you talking about? Your words are not clear.”
Seeing that he still denied it, Lao Xing thought he didn’t want to talk. He threw away the cigarette butt and got up to go into the house to eat watermelon. Ah He was already cutting it.
“I’m going to town early tomorrow morning. Lao Xing, do you have my phone number? Is there anything you need to bring?”
Lao Xing stopped walking, turned around and squatted again, took out his cell phone and wrote down Zhao Qin’s phone number., couldn’t help but probe again: “Aqin, what are your plans?”
“I bought three boxes of wine today, one of which is specially bought for you. I’ll take it with me when I leave later tonight.”
After Zhao Qin said this, he got up and went into the house to eat watermelon.
Lao Xing probably understood that this box of wine was to thank him for helping plan the purchase of a boat for Lin Lao’er’s family. Of course, A Qin didn’t mention it clearly, and he wouldn’t make it clear. This matter had nothing to do with him.
He grabbed Zhao Qin again, “Old Xue asked you, do you still want to buy that boat? If you want to buy it, it will still be at the previous price.”
“Buy some dick hair and let him keep the cubs there.”
At almost four o’clock, the sister-in-law and the old lady came over, followed by Zhao Ping, who was still carrying a pick.
After unloading the things, the two women began to get busy. At six o’clock, people came one after another. The first ones were naturally close to Zhao Qin.
For example, Lao Zhu and Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang also gave him the stewed vegetables that Zhao Qin had ordered in advance so that he could put them on the plate.
Zhao Qin and his eldest brother moved the table outside and put up the lights in advance, while Ah He was responsible for pouring tea for everyone.
“Aqin, we are not outsiders, please reveal the regulations first.” Lao Zhang chuckled.
“There are no rules. We will start eating when everyone is here. If we enjoy the meal, we will praise it. If we are not satisfied with the meal, we are not allowed to curse.”
Zhao Qin’s words made several people laugh. Lao Zhu was a little anxious and winked at him frequently. When he saw him, he reminded him: “We are not outsiders here. Let’s find out what you think. We can do it later.” Please help me by saying a few words.”
Although Zhao Qin and Lao Zhu often quarreled with each other, and Lao Zhu couldn’t take advantage every time, the relationship between people is so strange, and Lao Zhu felt that he was closer to Zhao Qin.
Moreover, he and Lao Xing were the only two people who were not the production captain but received the invitation. Before coming, he had thought that Aqin would definitely want to help convince these people.
“There’s a dick with hair that needs to be vented. The reason why I’m treating you today is because I was a fool before and did some stupid things. This was not due to my elder brother’s education. I turned back as a prodigal son and suddenly realized,
I invite you to this table today to apologize for some of the bad things I did in the past. ”
Seeing that he was still arrogant, several people didn’t bother to talk anymore.
“Aqin, why is this dog here with you?” Lao Xing then saw the dog under the eaves and asked curiously.
“I went to the village yesterday, and it was about to die on the roadside. I couldn’t bear to see it, so I rescued it. This beast has a long life.” He told the truth.
At this moment, two more people came one after another, and everyone outside was chatting even more happily.
