Chapter 179 My fellow villagers are good people

"Yes, yes, tell your parents what you said when you went to the Chen family."

Ran's mother changed the heavy topic and asked with a smile.

"I went to Chen Jianye's house today and ran into trouble."

"He bought a watch..."

Ran Qiuye talked about Sun Juying asking for money.

By the way, he also mentioned the relationship between Chen Jianye and the Public Security Bureau Director Mei Yubo.

"Oh, Jianye has such a relative."

Ran's mother looked surprised.

"Distant cousins, the relationship is a bit far."

"But if something really happens, you can still talk, which is good."

Father Ran thought about it and said with a smile.

The Ran family sat together and talked for a long time before washing up and resting.

......

"Jianye, don't cook today."

"I asked your sister-in-law to prepare it this morning."

When Xu Damao came back from get off work and passed by the Intermediate Court, he went to Chen Jianye's house to talk to him.

"Don't worry, I'm waiting."

Chen Jianye was sitting at the dining table reading a book and replied with a smile.

"Okay."

Xu Damao waved his hands and left.

Chen Jianye continued reading.

After a while, Xu Damao came to Chen's house again and called Chen Jianye to eat.

Chen Jianye brought a bottle of Niulanshan.

These days, when you go to someone's house for dinner, you have to bring your own rations.

Because everyone’s food rations are fixed.

Every month, you can receive affordable food with your food grain book.

Moreover, one can only enjoy this benefit if one has a grain certificate and is a city resident.

If you have a rural household registration and cannot buy a fixed amount of low-priced grain, you have to spend money to buy high-priced grain.

The rationed food is divided into nine standards according to gender, age and workload.

For example: heavy manual laborers, light manual laborers, college students, over ten years old, three to ten years old, and under three years old, etc.

For example, an adult male is supplied with 30 kilograms of food per month, which means he is supplied with one kilogram of food per day.

If you invite someone to your home for dinner and that person doesn’t bring food, you will starve.

Therefore, it is an unwritten rule to bring your own food when you eat at someone else's house.

Chen Jianye brought a bottle of wine, which was more valuable than food, and gave Xu Damao enough face.

"What kind of wine do you want to bring? I have prepared it all."

"Have."

Xu Damao had a smile on his face and spoke politely.

"It's okay, I have some at home."

"Brother Damao, you are treating me to a meal. I can't come empty-handed."

Chen Jianye was firm in his attitude.

The two came to Xu Damao's house in the backyard.

When he entered the room, Chen Jianye saw Lou Xiao'e busying herself in front of the stove and called her "sister-in-law".

Then he glanced around the room.

Xu Damao's house is not big, only about 40 square meters, and the sleeping room is separated from the living room.

The hall is divided into two parts: kitchen and dining table.

The house is tidy and the floor is clean.

Chen Jianye couldn't help but sigh that the girls in the 1960s were really hardworking.

Even the daughter of the wealthy bourgeois Lou Bancheng still has to do housework after getting married.

In later times, a girl of this level would never do housework.

They have to fly all over the world and take over all high-end entertainment projects.

"Coming."

"Da Mao, please arrange for Jianye to sit down. I have the last dish here and it will be ready soon."

Lou Xiao'e didn't even turn around, her voice was crisp.

"Sit, sit, sit. Sit wherever you want. You're welcome."

Xu Damao arranged for Chen Jianye to take a seat, opened the wine he had prepared, and pretended to pour it for Chen Jianye.

"Brother Damao, I'm coming."

Chen Jianye took the bottle, poured himself a glass, and then poured another glass for Xu Damao.

"Look at you, why are you still being polite to me?"

"Come on, come on, let's not wait for your sister-in-law, let's eat and drink."

Xu Damao's face was full of smiles.

He felt very sorry for Chen Jianye because of the watch sales.

I didn't expect Chen Jianye to give me so much face.

Pouring wine is a small thing, but it makes Xu Damao feel respected.

There are three dishes on the table.

A fried fish fillet, a minced meat and green beans, and an egg with tomatoes.

Lou Xiao'e is serving the last soup.

"Oh my god, this dish tastes really good, sister-in-law, you are such a great cook."

Chen Jianye ate a few bites of food, drank a sip of wine, and waited for Lou Xiaoe to bring the soup, praising it repeatedly.

"Haha, if it's delicious, eat more. Damao said he wanted to apologize to you, so I made it especially for you."

Lou Xiao'e's face was full of smiles.

"Then you must eat more. You must finish all the food on the table tonight."

Chen Jianye responded with a smile.

"Come on, Jianye, I'll toast you a glass."

"The last time Mr. Wang's wife came over, she caused quite a mess. It was thanks to you that she was able to get things done."

"I have to say sorry to you."

Xu Damao raised his glass.

"Brother Damao, I'm being polite. When you were helping me buy a watch, we never thought of this."

"Hey, let's not talk about Lao Wang anymore. He is really wasted."

Chen Jianye raised his glass.

"That's right. You can't commit suicide no matter what. Lao Wang is actually a good person."

Xu Damao shook his head repeatedly and took a sip of wine.

Chen Jianye picked up the mushrooms from the soup and ate them.

The mushrooms are particularly sweet and have a unique flavor.

"You can tell, the mushrooms in my house are different from the ones you buy outside."

Xu Damao said proudly.

"It's really different. It tastes much better than the mushrooms out there."

"Brother Damao, where did you buy it?"

Chen Jianye asked.

"I didn't need to spend money to buy them. They were given to me by my fellow villagers when I went to the countryside to show movies."

Xu Damao chuckled.

Lou Xiao'e nudged Xu Damao with her elbow, signaling him not to be so cocky.

If someone reports such a thing, the person in charge of disciplinary inspection will have to investigate Xu Damao and ask him to write a report.

"It's okay, Jianye is not an outsider."

"I believe you. Look at when I said this in the Intermediate Court. I said it at home."

Xu Damao said confidently.

"Brother Damao, just for what you said, I should toast you a glass."

Chen Jianye raised his glass in time.

"Look, my brother Jianye."

Xu Damao was even more delighted and gave Lou Xiaoe a smug look.

Chen Jianye felt a little emotional when he saw how affectionate they were.

As Lou Xiao'e was unable to give birth to a child and Xu Damao was not devoted to his wife, their relationship gradually faded.

65 years later, the frenzy was raging and the Lou family suffered severe criticism.

The deaf old lady interferes and tries her best to bring Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu together.

Xu Damao and the Lou family became enemies and reported the Lou family, which led to the Lou family's property being ransacked and they fled to Hong Kong in a panic.

The couple became estranged and became like enemies, which happened over the next four years.

Life is unpredictable.

"I killed the deaf old lady. I wonder if it will affect the final outcome of Xu Damao and the Lou family."

This thought suddenly flashed through Chen Jianye's mind, but he immediately suppressed it.

The ten-year frenzy was like a raging storm. No matter whether Xu Damao would change his attitude towards the Lou family, the ending of the Lou family would not change.

"Don't just drink it, eat some food and fill your stomach."

Xu Damao greeted him warmly.

"Good."

"Brother Damao, don't worry. I will definitely show off all the dishes on this table."

Chen Jianye laughed.

More than half an hour later.

Chen Jianye came out of Xu's house.

"Brother Jianye, I'll take you back."

Xu Damao stood crookedly, holding Chen Jianye's hand.

"No need to send me off. I'm fine."

"Brother Damao, please go back and help your sister-in-law clean up."

Chen Jianye evaded the responsibility.

After breaking free from Xu Damao's hand, Chen Jianye strode away.

"Jianye, please walk slower."

Xu Damao shouted at the door, then turned and went back into the house.

Chen Jianye returned home.

I drank a few sips of water, sat at the dining table, opened the book and continued studying.
