Jia Zhangshi looked enviously at the roe deer meat on Luo Xiaoqing's shoulder:
“Humph, you eat meat all day long, you don't care about anyone else's life or death, and you don't help out a poor widow and orphan like me, you're truly heartless!”
Luo Xiaoqing, with Shen Youtian, went to Director Wang's house.
Feng Peng was bragging about how Luo Xiaoqing had sent him game today, and how he was so proud in the Public Security Bureau.
“Wife, you wouldn't believe it, those little monkeys, they knew I lent my jeep to a young man, and they were just about to gossip about me behind my back.
They almost went to General Luo to report me. But then Xiaoqing brought the pork back.
They all shut their mouths, holding the meat, they had to bow to me!”
“You're such a show-off!”
Director Wang poured Feng Peng some hot water and rolled her eyes at him: “Xiaoqing is the one who hunted the game.
Xiaoqing isn't getting carried away, but you are!”
Feng Peng: “Xiaoqing is a skilled kid, I will definitely introduce him to General Luo when I get the chance.
Let them have a sparring match, maybe we'll even see General Luo get knocked down!”
“Aunt Wang, are you home?”
Director Wang quickly walked out of the house: “Xiaoqing, why are you sending meat again?
Hunting in the deep mountains is hard, keep it for yourselves.”
Luo Xiaoqing put down the two roe deer meats: “Aunt Wang, I wouldn't come to your doorstep if it wasn't important. You must take this meat.
Otherwise, I wouldn't feel comfortable asking.”
Looking at Luo Xiaoqing's mischievous expression, Director Wang laughed and said: “Your Uncle Feng said today that you helped him out a lot at the Public Security Bureau.
Tomorrow the street office will be giving out meat to the families of martyrs.
You helped me a lot, I'd be happy to do something for you.”
Luo Xiaoqing: “This is my cousin, Shen Youtian. Her parents have passed away, and she's been bullied in the village, all alone.
I just thought I'd bring her to live with us.”
Director Wang: “She's the relative of Hui Zhen's husband, right? What a beautiful girl!”
“Shen Youtian?”
Feng Peng's eyes flashed with brilliance, quickly disappearing.
“Wife, this girl is good, all we need is to register her residency. It's a done deal.”
Director Wang: “Look at you, you're so eager, you're afraid I won't do this for your brother. Did I say I wouldn't do it?
Xiaoqing, bring Youtian to the street office tomorrow.”
“Alright. Also, Director Wang, do you think there's any suitable job for my cousin? Could you look into it for her!”
Director Wang: “Okay, I'll remember that.”
Luo Xiaoqing and Shen Youtian walked out of Director Wang's house. Shen Youtian felt like she was living in a dream these past few days.
Xiaoqing just said a few words, and she became a city dweller?
Qin Huai Ru spent a lot of money on matchmakers and did a lot of running around just to marry a city dweller.
But she, coming to the city, just took one word from Xiaoqing.
Shen Youtian silently resolved in her heart to repay Xiaoqing for his kindness.
Luo Xiaoqing took Shen Youtian back to the courtyard. Luo Huizhen had just finished cooking.
The aroma of roe deer meat filled the entire courtyard.
“Xiaoqing, Sweetheart is back? Wash your hands and eat!”
“Brother, brother, wash your hands and eat! We're having roast duck today! Brother, Guoguo has never seen roast duck before in her life!”
“Little one, you're so young, what's a lifetime? Today you saw two roast ducks, from now on, you can see them whenever you want.
Brother hasn't forgotten, I'll take you to Dong Laishun, and we'll have hot pot!”
“Brother is the best!”
Shen Youtian ate the roe deer meat, looking at Luo Xiaoqing under the lamplight, her eyes sparkling.
Luo Huizhen watched Luo Xiaoqing taking care of Dodo and Guoguo, a loving look in her eyes.
The dinner table at the Luo family was quite bountiful today, with Quanjude roast duck and boiled roe deer meat.
Luo Huizhen brought out the leftovers from before Luo Xiaoqing left, the same ones from when Xu Damao came over.
He Yu Shui ate some, but Dodo and Guoguo didn't like it.
They've been eating at Zhou Po Po's house these past few days while building the house, so they haven't been eating those.
Fortunately, it was winter, so it could be kept. If it were summer, it would have gone bad long ago.
Luo Xiaoqing looked at the leftover food, which smelled faintly of white wine, and furrowed his brow slightly: “Mom, don't eat it, just throw it away.”
His previous life's memories were activated, and many of Luo Xiaoqing's habits had returned.
For example, in the dynasty he lived in before he transmigrated, there was no shortage of food and drink. It wasn't just a matter of not eating food that was a few days old, even if it was just a few hours old, it wouldn't be eaten.
Luo Huizhen: “This is all meat, how can we waste it? Your Third Uncle said it right, you can't be impoverished by eating or drinking, you can only be impoverished if you're not careful.
Wasting food is against Heaven's will. Speaking of your Third Uncle's family, they've been a bit strange these past few days.
Luo Xiaoqing: “What's strange?”
“We've been building the house for a few days, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiefang came to help with the work.
Third Aunt even helped cook, I thought they would stay for dinner since they worked, but they left that day.
That's not their family's style at all!”
Yan Bu Gui, he's the type to pluck every feather off a goose, how could he let his family do unpaid work?
Luo Xiaoqing: “Probably trying to get on our good side, take advantage. Before, at Qin Huai Ru's wedding, he didn't speak up for us,
he just jumped in to take advantage, he's not comfortable with that. He needs to lay the groundwork. When you kill rabbits, chickens, etc. later, Mom, just kill them directly for Third Aunt, then give the entrails to their family, that's enough to repay them!”
Luo Huizhen: “Alright, I'll listen to you, Mom.”
“Xiaoqing, are you home?”
The Luo family was eating when Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bu Gui walked in.
As soon as they entered the house, they were greeted with a warm, cozy atmosphere. The roast duck from Quanjude and the roe deer meat on the table.
The only meaty food on the table was the scallions and radishes that came with the Quanjude roast duck.
Their living standard completely shocked Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bu Gui. They widened their eyes in amazement.
