Chapter 164 No One Survived
"There is enough firewood at home, so don't be frugal. I brought some food, including some meat and grains. You don't have to feel wronged. There is not much work at the end of the year. If you want to go home, you can take these with you," Chen Mu said as he put the food in the room.
Looking at a full bag of noodles, plus more than ten pounds of pork, mutton and eggs, Qin Yanru was shocked.
"Brother Chen, it's really too much for you to bring so many things for me!" Qin Yanru sighed.
Chen Mu smiled and explained: "You are my employee, these are my year-end bonuses."
"Brother Chen, I don't know how to repay you for your concern for me," Qin Yanru sighed, her pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head shyly: "Or, I will give this... as a reward to you."
Chen Mu felt helpless after hearing this. This girl always wanted to repay others with her body. Although he had outstanding looks, excellent character, and enough wealth, it did not mean that he would easily fall for a girl. It was close to New Year's Eve when Qin Yanru took the bus back to Qinjia Village.
Chen Mu, He Yushui's family, and Xu Damao gathered at Sha Zhu's house to make dumplings to welcome the New Year. Xu Damao was invited to share the New Year's Eve dumplings because of today. His son Xu Hanwen accidentally fell while playing, and He Jianshe helped the child up and sent him home. For this, Xu Damao was deeply grateful to He Jianshe and gave Sha Zhu two large bottles of wine as a thank you. Although Sha Zhu's words were a little sarcastic, Xu Damao did not mind. Instead, he had a very good chat with Lou Xiaoe and Li Chunhua, and suggested making dumplings to add to the festive atmosphere. Although Xu Damao was a little reluctant, he finally nodded in agreement.
Chen Mu and He Yushui also brought some food. When Sha Zhu took a look, he saw a basket full of top-notch delicacies, including lobsters, blue crabs, hairy crabs, sea cucumbers, even shark fins and bird's nests, as well as some groupers. Sha Zhu was delighted and his eyes sparkled. "Brother-in-law, where are these from? I'm afraid you can't buy such delicacies on the market now." He is a chef and knows that good cooking requires good ingredients.
The reason why he prefers Sichuan cuisine to Tanfu cuisine is because the latter requires high-end and precious ingredients, mostly from famous mountains and seas. Chen Mu responded: "I asked a friend to buy this from the south. Are you going to try to make it?" Lou Xiao'e has a unique eye for food and asked: "Chen Mu, these ingredients are not cheap. This looks like Australian lobster. Can you get Australian products?"
"Oh, of course there is none in the mainland, but I can find it in Hong Kong. My dad sent someone to deliver it to me." Chen Mu replied with a smile. So the mystery was solved. "I only remember eating it once when I was a child. Do you still have that Australian lobster? I can pay for yours." Lou Xiao'e asked.
Chen Mu smiled and said, "Forget it. I still have a few left. I'll pick two for you later." In fact, Chen Mu's secret space has a huge amount of inventory. When he was in **, he had already purchased a lot of precious marine life and raised them there. Not to mention Australian lobsters, he even bought various rare species such as ** crabs, groupers, yellow croakers, and yellow croakers. He just wanted to find some live bluefin tuna, but he didn't get what he wanted. All he found were dead.
Lou Xiao'e was quite surprised by this. "It's really rare. This kind of thing can't be bought even if you have money. I want to bring it back for my dad to try." "Don't be embarrassed. I can enjoy it anytime. But if you want it again, you will have to pay the price." Chen Mu said.
"You're so polite, thank you!" Xu Damao was very interested in the novel ingredients in front of him. He took a big crab and asked Sha Zhu curiously, "Sha Zhu, can you cook so many delicious ingredients? Don't waste them."
Hearing this, Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Don't look down on me. I am the successor of Tan's cuisine. Come and taste my cooking skills." Xu Damao retorted unyieldingly, "That was brought by your brother-in-law Chen Mu! Why can't you let me enjoy it?"
"Then we'll just wait and see, and let you taste the authentic flavor of Tan's cuisine." Amidst loud laughter, everyone started to work in a lively manner.
Compared to the lively and joyful scene at Shazhu's house, the Jia family exudes a dull atmosphere. Qin Huairu cooks alone, and the deaf old lady sits beside her waiting for dinner. The dog's nose is very sharp and immediately detects the delicious aroma wafting from Shazhu's kitchen. The old lady is disappointed because she chose Yi Zhonghai, which alienated her relationship with Shazhu. Shazhu is no longer her obedient grandson.
Now Yi Zhonghai is expecting Qin Huairu to get pregnant and give birth to a child, and his obsession is almost crazy.
The Jia family members looked at each other. After exchanging glances, Bang Geng rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction, glanced at Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old man with resentment, and then went back into the house.
Yi Zhonghai thought to himself that if he left Banggeng, the ungrateful little guy, to rely on in his old age, he would have trouble finding a grave when he got old.
At Sha Zhu's house, before dinner, Chen Mu took out a few red envelopes from his pocket, gave one to He Jianshe, and said with a smile: "Jianshe, this is the New Year's money your uncle gave you. You must study hard and become someone who can contribute to society in the future, understand?"
"Thank you, Uncle Chen." He Jianshe bowed politely to Chen Mu.
Then, Chen Mu took out another red envelope and handed it to the child, Xu Hanwen, whom he had named. "Hanwen, this is for you." Xu Hanwen inherited Lou Xiao'e's facial features, unlike Xu Damao, who had a flat face.
Lou Xiao'e was also well-educated. Although she was only three years old, she already showed politeness. She whispered, "Thank God."
"Wife, these two are for Xiao'er and Pan'er." Chen Mu handed the last two red envelopes to Li Chunhua. These two names were chosen by He Yushui, and the twins were cute.
Xu Damao also took out the prepared red envelopes, leaving one for his own son and giving one to Sha Zhu's son. However, Xu Damao felt that this was not enough and said with emotion: "No, giving red envelopes is a loss, Xiao'e, we need to have more children, otherwise there will be less money for red envelopes during the Chinese New Year and more for giving away, and Sha Zhu will take advantage of it all."
"Okay, you give birth to one, and I'll give birth to a pair, and then we'll see what you do." Sha Zhu retorted, causing everyone to laugh.
No matter when or where, the two old rivals always can't help comparing themselves.
However, when everyone was ready to eat, Lou Xiao'e suddenly took a bite of fish. A wave of nausea surged in her heart. She quickly covered her mouth but failed to spit it out.
Xu Damao quickly asked: "Ezi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing this scene.
"Brother Mao, it's okay, I'm just pregnant." Chen Mu said casually, and it looked like she had been pregnant for nearly two months. "Brother Chen, you can take a look at my sister-in-law, don't send her to the hospital and waste time." Xu Damao said excitedly.
Chen Mu felt Lou Xiao'e's pulse and confirmed, "She is indeed pregnant. The baby is healthy and is 50 days old. Sister-in-law, remember to eat light food. Strong flavors may cause nausea."
Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e's heart was filled with happiness and she became pregnant with another child.
"Silly Zhu, listen to this. My wife is pregnant again. This time when I go back, I plan to have two babies in three years, and another baby in five years. I'm going to piss you off to death." Xu Damao said provocatively.
Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Just treat me as a sow that can give birth continuously."
"Hehehe..." Xu Damao grinned foolishly.
At this moment, Sha Zhu actually smiled, which was rare, as if the grudge between the two of them became insignificant after the meal.
Sha Zhu looked at Chen Mu: "Brother Mu, you and Yu Shui have known each other for so many years, about five or six, right? She followed you when she was sixteen. When are you going to officially get married?"
Chen Mu replied: "Soon, we will be preparing to get a marriage certificate in a few months."
He Yushui's cheeks flushed slightly when she mentioned this. Chen Mu had said that there would be a big move after the New Year, and they planned to go to Hong Kong, but he hadn't mentioned this to Sha Zhu yet.
"Brother Shazhu, you don't have to worry about this. Brother Chen Mu and I have already discussed it." He Yushui comforted.
Hearing this, Sha Zhu said with relief: "This is the best. When you get married and have children, I will finally have an explanation to my mother. Looking back on her indifference to me in the past, I now understand how stupid I was at that time. Fortunately, I have changed my ways."
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Chen Mu, He Yushui, Ding Qiunan, Wang Yuyan, Nie Xiaoqian, Gao Yao and others had a reunion dinner together in the No. 9 Courtyard of Zhengyangmen.
The girls are all preparing to go to Hong Kong with Chen Mu. Due to their ordinary family background, they may be involved in trouble if the news gets out.
Chen Mu had discussed leaving with Ding Qiunan's parents, but they were reluctant to abandon their hometown and had not thought too much about these issues. Chen Mu also understood that it was easy for him to travel between the two places, and it would be great if he could help take care of them when the time came.
Dean Nie and Mr. Wang had no intention of leaving. As professionals, they had a deep background and were well connected, so they could protect themselves. If someone wanted to move against them, they would have to think carefully before making the decision.
As for Gao Yao, Japan had already cut off all contact with her. After her parents passed away, Chen Mu became her only support.
As for "Shazhu", of course, there is nothing to worry about. He comes from a good family and as a master chef who focuses on cooking, he will not be easily affected even if the situation is turbulent. After all, a chef is an expert at filling an insatiable hunger.
After the New Year, the atmosphere was a bit eerie.
A struggle has quietly begun inside the factory.
Lou Xiao'e repeatedly moved her family's belongings to the courtyard, and it was obvious that her father had sensed that something bad was going to happen.
The underground group "Brother's Pseudo-Association" in the steel plant also quietly emerged, and many leaders have been summoned for talks. Li Huaide became the director of the group and began to prepare to take action against certain people.
He has persuaded several ** to serve as deputy directors and directly detained the factory director Yang.
"Old Yang, this is a matter of life and death." As the spokesperson for the "Brother Fake Association", Li Huaide suspended his duties. "We will conduct a fair trial for everyone, neither wrongly accusing good people nor letting bad people go. Your background is not clean, and you are a person who needs to be reformed."
Director Yang said angrily, "Brother Li, even if we don't get along, there's no need to resort to this method. The production pressure in the factory is so great now. If you do this now and fail to complete the task, can you bear all the consequences?"
Li Huaide was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "This involves misappropriation of public property!" He ordered, "Take Director Yang away and reflect on it!"
The factory was shrouded in panic, especially the top management. If one was not a hired farmer or a poor peasant, even if there was a slight rift between them and Li Huaide, they would inevitably be questioned.
None of the people who were caught were spared and were all detained.
At this moment, Li Huaide was enjoying the sweetness of power. He kept receiving reports and more people turned to him.
Even Xu Damao sensed the coming crisis and hurriedly took his wife and children back to his father-in-law's house to hide.
Xu Damao was no longer the man who was eager to get rid of the pressure of not having children and forced Lou Xiao'e to have sex with him. Their feelings grew stronger, and now that Lou Xiao'e was pregnant, he was very worried.
