The second strongman looked at Li Wenquan, hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth: "Comrade Li, I want to follow the team and follow you."
Li Wenquan looked at the top two, "Actually, serving the motherland does not necessarily mean joining the team. I think you have done a good job."
The second strongman shook his head: "Comrade Li, I still want to go to the team."
"Your family must agree to this."
The second strongman is in a dilemma, and his parents don't agree at all. But if he really wants to go, what man doesn't have a heroic plot? Want to become an upright man?
"Comrade Li, my family doesn't agree." Er Qiang was very disappointed.
"Top 2, you still have to get your family's permission before you can join the team."
Chen Miao had already lit a fire and boiled water to knead the noodles. Because she was anxious, she wanted to scald the noodles with hot water.
Pork and cabbage dumplings, put more meat and less cabbage, even wild boar meat will be delicious.
She knew that the second strongman would definitely tell Li Wenquan. No one else could really give him an opinion on this matter, and he had to make his own decision. After all, this was not a child's play, it was a matter of life and death.
Brothers Yun Shan and Yun Xin sat aside and watched their mother work, and now they stopped crying.
Chen Miao worked very quickly. After kneading the dough, he put the lid on the basin and placed it in the pot, and began to chop the meat.
The two men talking in the yard heard the noise, and Li Wenquan turned around and entered the house, "I'll come."
"No, Comrade Li, you go to the village chief's house and ask him to come over for dinner." If it's really not enough for the three of us to have a man, then we can ask the village chief to come over for dinner. This way, no bad words will spread.
"Okay." He knew what she was taboo about and didn't want to cause trouble for her. He fed the horse and went out to find the village chief.
When the two strong men left, they helped close the door.
When Shen Wufu saw Li Wenquan coming in, he immediately stood up with a smile, "Comrade Li, please have a seat. Her mother, you cook while Comrade Li eats at home."
"No need, village chief. Comrade Chen is cooking and asked me to come over and invite the village chief to eat with us."
"Haha. It's convenient to eat at my house."
"Village chief, Comrade Chen is already making preparations."
"That's okay. Comrade Li, please sit down. Are you here to pick up your cotton shoes?"
"Yes, we are in short supply now. The cotton-padded clothes and shoes given by Comrade Chen have solved the urgent need."
"Comrade Li and Comrade Chen risked their lives to go to the town and county to buy cotton. They even bought cloth from the next village."
Li Wenquan nodded, "Comrade Chen is very righteous. With the support of the big guys, we will definitely win. We will definitely drive out the little devils, and we ordinary people will definitely be able to live a life of being the masters of our own country."
Shen Wufu nodded excitedly, "We have been looking forward to this day. It is too difficult to live in fear all day long."
Li Wenquan nodded. He had seen more, more miserable, and more inhuman things. He hated the little devil with all his heart.
Shen Wufu knew that there were some things that he couldn't ask, so he asked how he could get the news earlier that the little devils and Ergouzi were coming to raid.
Of course, Li Wenquan told them very specifically and in detail, hoping that they would be able to save themselves. It is always better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. That woman understood this very well.
Chen Miao had already started making dumplings at home, knowing they were edible. She also made pancakes with chopped green onions and minced meat inside.
After the two children were tired after feeding, Chen Miao carried them back to the house to sleep.
It's quite fast to make dumplings by yourself. By the time Li Wenquan and Shen Wufu came over, the pancakes were already cooked and the dumplings were also done quickly.
Li Wenquan immediately sat down to light the fire.
"Uncle Wu, Comrade Li, please sit in your room and the water will boil soon to make dumplings."
At this time, a child's cry came from the house.
Chen Miao didn't care about anything. She put down the dumplings and still promised to enter the house quickly.
Li Wenquan didn't move, still sitting and lighting the fire. He felt a little bitter. It was really difficult for a woman to live alone with two children.
She also made cotton-padded clothes and shoes for Zhang Luo. What kind of woman is she?
Listening to the voices coaxing children in the house, "Village chief, is Comrade Chen's man named Shen Jianfeng?"
"Yes. My name is Shen Jianfeng."
"If I have a chance to meet him in the future, I will definitely tell him that he has two sons and that his wife is very capable."
Shen Wufu didn't know what to say. It had been almost two years since Xiaofeng left. He didn't know what he was doing now.
To put it bluntly, I don’t know whether he is dead or alive.
Chen Miao coaxed her two sons and took them out to pee. When she came back, her stepmother washed her hands.
"You two invite Mr. Wu into the house, and we'll eat dumplings later."
Li Wenquan looked at the two children, whose faces were rosy as they slept. They were really beautiful. They were so white and rosy that they looked like them.
The two brothers were already awake, but they didn't move. They both sat on the small bench wall and looked at their mother.
There are more than ten dumplings that will be wrapped immediately, and Chen Miao is not in a hurry to cook them, it will not take more than a while.
After the dumplings were put in the pot, "Uncle Wu, you guys go into the west room. I have already set the table and we are going to eat right away. Yun Shanyunxin, you guys go in with Uncle Wu."
Li Wenquan still sat down to light the fire. "Comrade Li, there is no need to light the fire. Come in, you can eat right away."
Chen Miao had already prepared a basin. There were too many dumplings and they couldn't be put into the bowl, so he might as well put them in the basin directly.
"Chen Miao, I'm waiting to serve the dumplings."
Since this is the case, there is no need to say anything. Raw meat dumplings need to be cooked for a while.
Shen Wufu called the two children into the room. On the table was Laba garlic, which was already green and must have been pickled long ago. There was also a bowl of pickles and cabbage hearts.
Soon the dumplings were served, and the pancakes were put aside. Chen Miao still wanted to eat the dumplings first. If there was not enough pancakes, he would eat them.
"Comrade Li, you're welcome, please take a seat." Shen Wufu said with a smile.
Li Wenquan couldn't help but nod as he ate the dumplings, "Chen Miao, the dumplings are so delicious."
"Comrade Li and Fifth Uncle, eat more. This is wild boar meat. If you add less oil, it will have a fishy smell."
As she spoke, she opened the dumplings for her two sons to dry.
Shen Wufu has not eaten such delicious dumplings for a long time. The cooking at Xiaofeng's house is really delicious.
There were not many dumplings before Chen Miao brought the pancakes over. "There is also meat filling in it. It smells very fragrant. Uncle Wu will eat it."
Shen Wufu put down his chopsticks and shook his head, "I'm full. I'm old and can't eat that much."
"What did Uncle Wu say? Do you think the pancakes are delicious? Comrade Li, try them."
Li Wenquan was not polite. He had almost eaten. But he still picked up a piece of pancake after looking at it.
When the two children were full, Chen Miao gave them some dumpling soup and asked them to drink it slowly with a spoon, and then she ate.
They left a large bowl of dumplings for her. Chen Miao ate them and found them delicious. After eating a few, she put them down and went to work in a hurry. She couldn't eat anymore.
Shen Wufu is a typical big man. After dinner, he did not even think about helping with the work. "Comrade Li, come home with me and take a rest."
"Village chief, I will help Chen Miao with some work."
