Chapter 370: Eat and take, this trip is worth it!
Several people kept silent, watching Huang Xiu Lian walk forward for a while.
Seeing the construction site ahead, he walked back and said with a smile: "How could I forget that your house is not finished yet!"
"When the house is built, I will definitely treat you all to a meal." Chen Hui said with a smile.
"Invite me to dinner? That's great!"
Huang Xiu Lian responded with a smile.
Patting Wang Kunhua on the shoulder, he said, "Brother-in-law Wang, can you speed up this progress? I can't wait to have the housewarming party."
"Isn't this fast? This is already as fast as running a train."
"Chen Hui is lucky. It hasn't rained much in the past month, so the working hours have to be very tight." Wang Kunhua said excitedly.
It would be fine if you said anything else.
Questioning his work progress is something I can't stand.
"Then you can fly the plane, and the workers will arrange for a few more!"
"I'm in a hurry to eat too!" He Juanjuan also urged.
"Eh"
Well, it seems that it is not completely unbearable.
Wang Kunhua nodded and said, "After the roof is sealed, we will have to lay out the electrical wiring and do the renovation. I'll ask Lao Liu to make some arrangements and see if he can assign a few more people to me."
"Chen Hui, there is no electricity in your village, what do we need electric wires for?" Huang Xiu Lian asked.
"The country is developing, and it is only a matter of time before every household has electricity."
"It doesn't matter if the house hasn't been built yet, but since it has been built, let's get these done first!" said Chen Hui.
"I thought I heard it wrongly, Sister Xiulian, it really is you!"
"I'm just cooking breakfast, I'll go add two more cups of rice!"
An Wenjing came out of the house, said this with a smile, then turned around and ran back.
Chen Hui greeted and welcomed everyone in.
Although Huang Xiulian, He Juanjuan and Wu Jinhua had all met each other, they still felt pressured when facing the wealthy people from the county town.
I also heard Chen Hui say that he wanted to cook seafood porridge.
She waved her hands and said, "Don't cook mine. I can't wait that long. There's still some dried noodles left from yesterday. I'll eat them and go back to work."
Chen Hui took a look and found that the vermicelli Wu Jinhua mentioned was only enough for two mouthfuls.
He ran to Wang Hongmei's house, took the corn and potatoes that Wu Shuisheng had not had time to eat, and left.
"Hey? Hello."
Wu Shuisheng had just sat down when the bowl in front of him was suddenly empty.
"Uncle, come to Grandma Jinhua's house to eat!"
Chen Hui responded loudly and ran back, placing corn and potatoes in front of Wu Jinhua and said, "Eat these first."
"Whose breakfast did you steal again?" Wu Jinhua was confused.
"It belongs to my uncle. I told him to come over and eat it later!"
"Eat quickly. How can you work on an empty stomach?" said Chen Hui.
"Aunt Jinhua, just eat with peace of mind. Shuisheng won't starve." Chen Huihong, who was lighting a fire behind the stove, also said.
Wu Jinhua was no longer polite.
After eating vermicelli and potatoes, I went out with a steamed corn.
The water in the copper kettle was boiled. Chen Hui took the kettle out and asked An Wenjing to make tea for the guests.
I was right next to the patio.
While processing the shrimps and crabs caught from the sea, I listened to a few people chatting.
When ordinary people build a house, there are only some disputes among their parents and brothers.
Chen Hui is amazing.
While building the house, I also opened a shop and took care of various things in the village.
Wang Kunhua drank tea and told several female comrades interesting stories about Chen Hui's family building a house.
"Is it him?"
"Such a young boy can actually handle so many things? He is so amazing."
The pretty young woman who came with Huang Xiu Lian said with a smile.
"You can't call him brother, he is a few years older than you."
"Besides, they call me sister. So, you should call Chen Hui uncle!" Huang Xiulian corrected.
Chen Hui stopped what he was doing and looked at Huang Xiu Lian blankly.
"This is my brother's daughter-in-law, her name is Meizi."
"Don't think she talks like an old woman. That's because she has been with her mother-in-law, my sister-in-law, for too long. She is only seventeen this year."
Huang Xiu Lian introduced them to Chen Hui and An Wenjing with a smile.
"So small?!" An Wenjing was surprised.
"Yes, she is about to become a mother at such a young age. You guys need to work harder." Huang Xiu Lian looked at An Wenjing teasingly.
An Wenjing smiled, picked up the cup and drank some tea.
Chen Hui was afraid that she would feel pressured, so he took a large octopus and asked, changing the subject:
"Do you eat octopus? There are two fresh ones. I'll prepare them and bring them back to you."
Not only is there something to eat, there is also something to take.
Huang Xiulian nodded happily and said to He Juanjuan: "Next time you come to the village to play, remember to call me!"
"This big octopus is not common on the shore!"
"Where did you catch him from?" He Juanjuan asked.
"Well, in the sea!" Chen Hui smiled.
"It's the sea, so why do you look so guilty?" Wang Kunhua asked.
"Really? Not at all!"
"It's something that has such an obvious answer, but someone suddenly asked it."
Chen Hui chuckled.
After processing the two big octopuses, I asked An Wenjing to find a bag to pack them up.
All the remaining shrimp, crab and shells were killed and cleaned, and Chen Huihong also cooked the porridge.
Put the processed seafood into the porridge and cook for a while.
Simply add some salt and sprinkle some coriander, and the aroma will drift from the kitchen to the path outside.
The workers of the construction team and the people of the second team were coming over in twos and threes.
When passing by Wu Jinhua's house, everyone was attracted by the aroma of rice.
"It smells so good, what is the boss cooking?"
"It seems the boss and his wife are in there too. The food they are treating the boss to must be good stuff."
The workers smelled the scent with envy.
"What a sin! I eat it every day, every day!"
"Where does Chen Hui get all the money? Why does it feel like he has endless money to spend?"
Chen Mingde from the second team said this in a sarcastic tone, and was immediately confronted by Chen Daqing who came over:
"I saw Chen Hui going to the beach at around five o'clock. You usually sleep until you get there. What the hell?"
Chen Hui filled a large bowl and sent it to Chen Guogang's house, and also asked Wu Shuisheng to go over with him.
In the room, several people were sitting or standing, eating breakfast together.
Xiang Meizi finished a bowl of porridge and looked towards the kitchen.
I felt unsatisfied but was too embarrassed to speak out.
"Have another bowl, there's more in the pot!" Chen Huihong said, stretching out her hand.
“How strange!”
"This young wife has started to suffer from morning sickness recently. She gets nauseous when she eats something. If you force her to eat something, she will vomit. I'm afraid she will starve the baby."
"I was at your house today and actually had a good appetite and didn't have any reaction!"
Huang Xiu Lian said in surprise!
"It will be fine after the first three months. You can hand your young wife over to Chen Hui and let him help take care of her for a few months!" said He Juanjuan.
"Don't mention it, this is a good idea!"
"Hahaha, I do want to, but I'm afraid Wen Jing won't agree!" Huang Xiu Lian said with a smile.
"Ah?! I, I have no objection!" An Wenjing shook her head and said.
"What a foolish child."
After He Juanjuan finished speaking, she and Huang Xiu Lian looked at each other and smiled.
