In Rao Qifang's opinion, there were only two real friends, one was a gift of acquaintance, and the other was a comrade who fought after the disaster. The rest were waiting eagerly, and she pretended not to see them.
The group of people had no choice but to come up and introduce themselves, and some women took the initiative to run to the kitchen to help prepare the food.
"Dingling~"
Li Cang opened the door.
When she saw the visitor, Rao Qifang's mouth twitched.
"Old woman, ha~"
"Violent maniac, ha~"
Jin and Zhu said: "Sister Qiaoqiao came at the right time, I'm just waiting for your skills!"
"Call me Granny Qiao, the old woman next door."
Rao Qifang introduced reluctantly.
Kong Jingqiao was a little older, wearing only home clothes and even an apron casually, with empty hands.
She smiled very gently at Li Cang and Li Lei, but she didn't have a good expression with Rao Qifang and walked to the kitchen silently.
Jin Yujing whispered quietly: "Sister Qiao and your mother are old rivals. Ever since we moved here, we are, like, half-assed chess players."
Li Cang frowned and realized that things were not simple.
"Play chess..."
What kind of chess can we play? Can our mother still play chess?
Li Leisi also looked confused.
Jin Yujing covered her mouth and laughed so hard that the flowers trembled.
“Play checkers, crosswords, backgammon, Ludo, everything!”
"..."
After all, it’s not something adults should play with, right?
Li Cang and Li Laixi finally had time to change out of the outfits that had been criticized by their mother, and Rao Qifang specially found them two pairs of cool home clothes.
[My mother is so beautiful] [This is the enemy]
Li Cang looked at the big characters on the chests of his and Li Laixi's little white shirts, and felt that the flaws were becoming more and more prominent.
To a certain extent, Rao Qifang can represent the characteristics of women in Yanchuan area. When a wanderer returns home, he must invite all his relatives and friends to have a lively reunion dinner. She is very popular!
Li Cang didn't expect that it would be like this before the end, and it would still be like this after the end...
Every time he participates in such an occasion, it is pushing him towards the path of embarrassment cancer and social fear!
As for Li Laisi...
Don't care at all.
Her routine when she was a child was to wait for the party to finish eating and drinking, then have a fight with the kids from her relatives and friends' houses while everyone was watching. The winner would take away all their dignity and praise their awesomeness and shit, while the loser could only eat the dust and return home. I might have to take an extra beating...
In the long run, it doesn't matter whether it's social phobia or social anxiety disorder...
Every time Daleizi has guests at home, her fists will become hard and clenched with excitement.
Of course, the adult Dalei Zi is destined to be disappointed today.
Li Laixi's courtesy can only be given to those who are friends with Yiwu. She will not waste time socializing with these people here today, so she decisively betrays Li Cang and pretends to be deaf and dumb.
Li Cang resisted the numbness of his scalp and chatted with various boring people about business, talked about the outside world, talked about rail line experiences, and imagined the direction of prayer and various possibilities. He always got a lot of exclamation and agreement. Those who didn’t know thought he was so good at socializing...
Li Cang took the time to glare resentfully at the distorted "This is facing the enemy" font, yelling in his heart, "Why don't you blow yourself up, Leizi!" !
Rao Qifang and Jin Zhu were chatting quietly at the side, with aunty smiles on their faces.
"A'Zhu, you don't know, this little brat used to be so nervous that he would vomit when there were too many people around him, but now he has grown up..."
"Hmm, as for the orphan, his parents passed away very early."
"Who said that? My son is really good at smashing things. At such a young age, he relied on his own money to buy a large flat that cost nearly 200 yuan!"
"No, he's handsome and sensible, but it's a pity that my little girl doesn't live up to expectations..."
"Son-in-law here? Do you think I'm a fool? Why don't you want a son-in-law?"
In the end, only about twenty people were able to stay and join Rao's banquet, and the rest took the initiative to leave one after another.
Before the secretary of the 7th base, who seemed to be a particularly kind and kind elderly staff officer, left the scene, he came over and told Li Cang that Ma Haizi had been hired by them with a high salary to join the temporary scientific research team of the base to engage in the medical research industry, and hoped that Li Cang would take time out when he had the opportunity. To guide and supervise the progress of premature calcium loss and other related topics.
Of course, as an important research material...well...as an important technical talent, Ma Haizi's relevant information must be kept confidential and will not be accessible to the public. Various subsidies for food, clothing, housing and transportation must be arranged, so Ma Haizi will There are no expenses, so his salary will be transferred to Amei and Dadong's account first, and will be kept by his only immediate family member.
Li Cang stared at the kind and kind old man in shock for a long time, and for a moment he couldn't decide whether he was licking him or Rao Qifang - is this the intensity of the official brush?
Li Laixi sighed at a large table of dozens of dishes that were all delicious, delicious and well-matched: "Aunt Kong is so awesome. If the young lady is a chef, Aunt Kong must be a master."
From the beginning to the end of the meal, the conversation between the two people basically consisted of this sentence, and they kept their heads down while eating.
Rao Qifang put on a young and kind face, with straight eyes.
"Look at the hungry children, they look like two pigs and lambs. The sight of them being fed like this makes my mother happy.
"It can be seen that life outside is not easy..."
"Why are you so happy? It's because the food I cook is delicious and the children like it."
"Old woman, do you want to be beaten?"
"Oh, violent maniac."
Some people served and others cooked, but Li Cangli didn't even raise his head.
Speaking of which, especially after we fast forward to the polar climate, the food on the empty island is quite fixed. Basically, it is all kinds of food, wild beast meat, occasionally digging a hole in the ice to eat some fish, and a little green leafy vegetables from the dried vegetable greenhouse. Canned fruit like this.
It's not difficult to say, but it's absolutely impossible to have such a comprehensive source of supplies as the 7th Base.
It's even worse for Li Laixi. She hates the taste of wild beast meat, and there really aren't any large-scale domestic livestock on the island that can be destroyed by them. However, due to reasons such as improved physical fitness, everyone's appetite is super high. double...
This bitch went crazy today and ate twice as much as Li Cang.
After filling her stomach, Li Laixi immediately returned to being cold and cold, like a queen about to ascend the throne, holding her pockets with both hands and loving no one.
After another useless socializing, at 5 o'clock in the evening, the lively room finally quieted down. People from all walks of life took their leave one after another. Jin Zhu and Xu Hongfeng also chose to leave their time to Rao Qifang and his "son and daughter".
However, Li Cang always felt that after all the people collecting firewood, the house's popularity was indeed a lot better. Is it an illusion?
"Here," Rao Qifang threw out two apples, "They're so sweet. They're from our farm."
"Thank you mom!"
"Dong~"
Very different responses.
Li Laixi, whose face was almost smashed into the phone screen, rubbed the back of her head with a resentful look in her eyes.
