Chapter 157: Why Don’t I Have a Daughter?
A moment later, Ye Jingang came back, followed by two people.
"Hahaha, look, I picked the right ones. I knew this girl was back, and there must be delicious food at home."
The voice came before the person arrived, and the person was Zhang Zhiqiang.
"Uncle Zhang, please sit down." No need to say anything, just add bowls and chopsticks.
Ye Jinhua: "Uncle Zhang, how did you know we were coming back today? Yun Zheng and I were planning to go to the county town to see you tomorrow."
Zhang Zhiqiang: "Haha, of course I heard that Ye Jinzhong is back. This time he has made another contribution. I heard that his brothers and sisters were very helpful and helped him a lot. Haha, good boy."
As he said this, he slapped Ye Jingang's shoulder beside him, making a "pa pa" sound.
He really put in a lot of effort, but Ye Jingang acted like nothing happened, which shows how strong this guy is.
Following him in was the brigade secretary, Old Man Gu, who was Ye Jinyi's childhood friend and the uncle of Old Man Gu. He was a few years older than Ye Jianguo.
This was not the first or second time that Zhang Zhiqiang appeared at the Ye family. He took off his military coat, revealing the police uniform underneath, and his heart was pounding.
I had heard that this person was a county leader, but now I know that he is a public security officer. Judging from his age and temperament, he doesn't look like an ordinary public security officer. My God, could he be the director of the Public Security Bureau?
Seeing how open this person is with the Ye family, their relationship must be unusual! Old Man Gu was lost in thought as he thought about it.
"Brother Gu, what's the matter with you coming here now?"
Old Man Gu, who was awakened by Ye Jianguo's voice, found that Ye Jingang had pushed him to sit on a stool and stuffed a pair of chopsticks into his hands.
"Oh, that's not possible. I came at the wrong time. You guys eat first, I'll come back later."
As Old Man Gu said this, he was about to put down his chopsticks and leave, secretly cursing himself for being a little immature. How could he visit someone else during meal time?
"Hey, Brother Gu, sit down and talk while eating. Don't be polite. We are all family. Isn't my daughter Huahua back? Your sister-in-law loves her and cooked a few more dishes."
What Ye Jianguo meant was that you were lucky to have caught up with it, because we don’t have such good food every day.
It was at this time that Old Man Gu saw Ye Jinhua sitting inside: "Oh, Huahua is back. I don't want to eat. The food is ready at home. I'll go back and eat." How shameless does one have to be to stay in someone else's house and eat such a meal.
Old man Gu stood up and walked towards the door. Seeing this, Ye Jianguo stood up and rushed over to pull the man back.
Ye Jianguo was so strong that he almost made Old Man Gu fall. He then held the old man steady and pressed him down on the stool again.
Old man Gu sat down again in a daze without knowing why. It would not look good if he continued to push him, and it would also delay other people's meals.
So Old Man Gu had no choice but to sit there obediently and decided to just take a few bites to show his appreciation, instead of finishing all the food in front of others, which would be too embarrassing.
"Come, come, pour the wine first." Ye Jianguo sat back in his seat and started pouring wine for everyone.
There was a small wine cup in front of everyone, including all the female members of the family.
Old Man Gu sighed when he saw this. The Ye family really treated everyone equally. Not only did they love their daughters, but they also loved their daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law equally. It was a pity that he didn't have a daughter, otherwise he might as well meet the third son of the Ye family, just in case!
The Ye family does not have the bad habits of not allowing women to sit at the table when eating or not drinking. If the family wants to have fun, they can have fun together. Otherwise, few people can have fun together. Gender discrimination is not allowed.
The glasses of wine were full, and everyone looked at Grandpa Ye, waiting for him to raise the first glass of wine, and he didn't make anyone wait any longer.
He picked up the wine cup in front of him and said, "Today, apart from the eldest brother, our family is reunited. We don't have so many rules. I raised this first cup, and everyone can eat and drink as they please. Zhiqiang is not an outsider, so don't be restrained, Xiao Gu, eat and drink well."
Even though Old Man Gu was the only guest today, he still had to be taken care of. After Grandpa Ye finished speaking, everyone raised their glasses and drank together, tilting their heads back and drinking it all.
This is good wine. After drinking the wine, Old Man Gu felt the difference. He is a wine lover. Even when conditions are not good, he can often secretly drink a few sips of cooking wine.
When I saw Ye Jinhua holding a bottle of Moutai and pouring wine for everyone, I finally understood. Moutai, it is worth it to be able to drink Moutai once in this life.
After drinking a glass of wine, it was time to eat. Seeing that the old man was too embarrassed to pick up any food, Ye Jin took the empty bowl in front of him, filled it with some of each dish, and let him eat slowly first.
Old Man Gu thanked him quickly, but he felt a little regretful. He was such a good guy, why didn't he have a girl?
As they ate, they thought, "Oh my, what a heavenly life does the Ye family have? Who cooked this? Their cooking skills are incredible!" "Oh my, it's too late to have a daughter now."
Just as he was thinking about it, Ye Jianguo's voice rang out again, "Brother Gu, what is the matter with you coming to see me today?"
It’s bad. I was so busy eating and drinking that I forgot about the important things.
"Oh, that's right, Captain Ye. Look, our brigade has the power lines now up. The oil press has been cleared out, too. When will that noodle making equipment you mentioned be delivered?"
When it comes to serious matters, Secretary Gu is quite the man.
As for when the noodle production line can be delivered, it all depends on Ye Jinhua. Ye Jianguo doesn't know either. He can only look at Ye Jinhua.
Ye Jinhua: "Uncle Gu, don't worry, the equipment has been shipped back and is on the truck in front of my house."
Secretary Gu: "That's great, but, Captain, is the oil press safe enough if we put this equipment in it? Should we have militia patrol it at night? If something goes wrong with the equipment, we won't be able to afford the compensation."
He always remembered that he bought this precious item on credit, and he must not earn a penny back. If the equipment was lost or broke, it would be fatal.
Ye Jianguo: "We really need to discuss this further." They had not considered this before.
"There's another thing. My wife's family is from the Qingshui Brigade. They had a lot of leftover wheat last year. They heard we were planning to buy some wheat, so they asked someone to come to my house and ask, 'Captain, what do you think...'"
"That's great! Here it is. We want it. We'll take as many as we can." Ye Jianguo slammed the table happily, scaring Secretary Gu so much that he almost fell down.
Why is this captain still so jumpy? He's still young, but he's just unstable. I'll have to worry about him more in the future.
No one in the Ye family cared about Old Man Gu's inner thoughts. Everyone was happy to have the raw materials. Even if they couldn't use them all, there was still the Bin City Noodle Factory. They were in dire need of raw materials.
