After clinking glasses with Xue Jianrong, Chu Qianqian drank three glasses in one go.
And his face doesn’t turn red and his heart doesn’t beat.
But Xue Jianrong felt a little uncomfortable after drinking three cups. The old lady looked at Xue Xueli and winked.
Xue Xueli also knew at this time that Chu Xiangqian was definitely not bragging before, but it was impossible for him to admit defeat.
Moreover, it’s not like he was drinking by himself anyway, at worst the two grandsons would have been drunk by his would-be brother-in-law.
Just when Chu Qianqian picked up a bottle of wine and was about to open it, he suddenly saw Xue Jinglan looking at him with a worried look.
Chu Qianqian was stunned for a few seconds, then naturally put the wine bottle back on the table, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
The old lady, Tan Youli and Xue Hongmei couldn't help but chuckle.
Secretly, my daughter is lucky to have met a man who loves her and is willing to take care of her feelings.
Father and son Xue Xueli and Xue Xiaomin also saw their daughter's little actions, and were naturally very satisfied with Chu Xiangqian's actions.
Xue Jianrong and Xue Jianguo were already intimidated by Chu Xiangqian's 1 pound and 8 taels. Seeing that Chu Xiangqian didn't pour any more wine, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
He secretly thought that he would never have a drink with Chu Xiangqian in the future, and then he thought in his heart, wondering if his old man would take Chu Xiangqian out for a drink.
But I will definitely drag him to the banquet in the future.
Xue Xueli glanced at his daughter Xue Hongmei, who smiled and saw what her biological father meant.
Smiling, he asked Chu Qianqian, "Qianqian, don't you want to drink anymore?"
Chu Qianqian twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, waved his hands and said, "No more, no more, lest I can't get up tomorrow and delay going to work."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Xue Jinglan felt happy, but at the same time her ears and neck turned red with embarrassment.
After everyone had finished eating, several women entered the kitchen. Tan Youli took Xue Jinglan's hand and saw that her daughter had no intention of breaking away.
I was both happy and unhappy at the same time, secretly thinking that I really had a sweetheart, and I immediately wanted to perform better.
Even past problems can be improved in an instant.
But it was her biological mother who asked in a low voice, "Lan Lan, what do you think of Xiao Chu?"
The old lady and Xue Hongmei hurriedly pricked up their ears, and saw Xue Jinglan blushing, hesitating for a while, and then whispered, "Mom, he doesn't smell bad. And some habits can't be faked." p>
As soon as the three old ladies heard this, they knew that there was no problem with their girl.
Now let’s see if Chu Xiangqian really doesn’t mind, or is he pretending not to mind.
In the living room, Chu Xiangqian did not show too much in front of Xue Xueli, his ancestors and his grandson.
Even when chatting and drinking tea, even if I know something, I can tell you something, but I deliberately show that I don't understand.
Although the four Xue family members were a little disappointed, they felt relieved.
Until Xue Xiaomin took the initiative to bring up hunting in order to prevent Chu Xiangqian from being embarrassed, Chu Xiangqian didn't say much and kept being humble. He only said that he relied on luck 70%, and the rest was his true ability.
Only then did Xue Xueli and Xue Xiaomin realize that Chu Qianqian was actually a humble master.
Chu Xiangqian got two wild boars, three wolves, and a leopard for the steel rolling mill in three days last week. How could he hide it from the father and son?
Since Chu Xiangqian even said that what he is best at is luck, then his performance just now should also be hiding his clumsiness.
Xue Xiaomin couldn't help but frown slightly. Normally, if a prospective son-in-law behaves like this, he can't find him with a lantern.
But as a father, he felt that Chu Xiangqian had such thoughts when he was less than 20 years old, and he seemed a little scheming.
On the contrary, Xue Xueli didn't take it to heart and said with a smile, "Xiao Chu, it's getting late. Let Lan Lan take you to the gate."
Chu Xiangqian stood up hurriedly, and with the Xue family watching, he watched Xue Jinglan and Chu Xiangqian go out one after another.
Naturally, Chu Qianqian would not go directly to the gate of this compound.
Instead, he took the initiative and said, "Comrade Xue, we have just finished eating, why don't we take a walk in this yard?"
Xue Jinglan was stunned for a moment, and then she felt happy.
Nodding slightly, he followed Chu Qianqian and wandered around the courtyard.
Fortunately, it was winter, and there were basically no pedestrians at night. The two of them chatted while walking, and they talked more.
When I say this so often, I don’t even realize how fast time passes.
When Xue Jianguo came out to call Xue Jinglan, Chu Qianqian glanced at his watch, and it was already past 10 o'clock.
I could only send Xue Jinglan home and watch her enter the house before saying goodbye to Xue Jianguo and riding my bicycle back to the courtyard.
The third uncle who opened the door opened the front door. Chu pushed his bicycle forward and was about to go back to his house when he heard Yan Fugui say, "Xiao Chu, the neighborhood committee came to the door today and said that this sparrow is no longer one of the four pests.
Got bedbugs.
Also, we still have to catch a hundred rats in our yard this year and hand them in. You and the three brothers Aiguo and Aimin, like other households, just need to hand in 10 rats."
Chu Qianqian silently calculated that there were originally 17 households in this courtyard. After Liu Yifa left, he and himself, who loves his country and loves his people, moved in again.
Equivalent to 18 households.
But the deaf old lady definitely couldn't let her catch mice, so she silently figured it out and nodded, "Okay, I'll let Aiguo and Aimin go out and make some mouse traps in the next two days."
Yan Fugui was originally thinking of asking Chu Xiangqiang to lend Da Zhuang and Hongniu as envoys. When Chu Xiangqian said this, he suddenly didn't know how to speak.
When Chu Xiangqian returned home, he asked the tits to catch mice around.
Although the tit looks like an ornamental bird, this little thing has a constitution of 2.5, a strength of 1.1, and agility of 4.5.
Forget about catching mice, let it catch foxes and lynxes.
In just half an hour, not only were ten rats caught, but even the rat whose head was pecked out flew back to the yard and was still in the corner of the east wing, holding it in both paws.
When Chu Qianqian went out, he packed it up with a waste dustpan and left it alone in the corner.
Just after 12 o'clock, I took Titmouse into the Novice Village. After easily brushing off the things that were refreshed in the game, Titmouse was successfully upgraded to level 7.
Without much thought, I added a little agility to the tit.
Then I lay in the fountain pool, thinking about Xue Jinglan, and fell asleep without knowing it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The next morning, when Chu Xiangqian woke up from Novice Village, not only did he not feel that he had a cold, but he found that his whole body felt refreshed.
After putting on my clothes and holster, I went out and was about to go to work on the street. But when I looked at the corner of the wall with my peripheral vision, I suddenly noticed that of the ten mice caught by the tits last night, there seemed to be four or five missing.
Chu Xiangqian's first reaction was that the mouse had been stolen.
But if you think about it seriously, Siheyuan Pirate Saint is still a five or six-year-old baby at this time, and it is impossible to go out at night.
After carefully looking around the broken dustpan, I quickly found a few hairs falling on the cracks in the dustpan.
Needless to say, it was probably stolen by a wild cat.
Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly. If he wanted to blame himself, he would blame himself for not putting these ten mice into the house last night.
Just when he was about to let it go, he suddenly saw a black cat staring at him on the wall of the courtyard. Chu Qianqian immediately guessed that it was the black cat that had stolen his mouse.
I was about to drive the cat away when I suddenly saw that the black cat’s belly was a little bulging.
After watching carefully for a few seconds, Chu Xiangqian was sure that the black cat should have a baby in its belly.
After thinking about it, it was easy for a tit to catch mice anyway, so I threw the dustpan back into the corner, got on my bicycle and ignored it.
When he reached the street, he was stopped by the guard, Old Man Sun, "Xiao Chu, are your two dogs good at catching mice?"
After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian understood that everyone has a task to eliminate the four evils.
He smiled and said, "How many animals have been assigned to you in your yard?"
Old Man Sun smiled sheepishly. Originally, he only needed to get two mice. After all, he was old and it was not his turn to go out to catch mice at night.
But I absolutely shouldn’t. Yesterday after I got home from get off work, I was playing chess with a few old men. I didn’t know who started it, but they actually bet on mice.
Then I have the task of 12 mice.
Ten years ago, Old Man Sun would never ask Chu Xiangqian for help, but now, his health is indeed not as good as before.
In addition, Chu Xiangqian's two hunting dogs can kill wild boars and wild wolves, and rats will definitely be no problem.
Someone can do this for me. Old Man Sun naturally doesn't want to go out at night to catch mice.
When Chu Xiangqian heard that Old Man Sun wanted 12, he naturally agreed immediately in order to befriend him.
When Old Man Sun saw Chu Qianqian agreeing so readily, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he whispered, "I heard that there was a lot of rat trouble at the grain station.
The superiors then assigned the task of catching mice.
If your two hunting dogs are really good at catching mice, why not tell the director and take the initiative to apply for help. When you go to get food from now on, make sure you get the best."
Chu Xiangqian knew that Old Man Sun was repaying a favor for helping him catch mice, so he thought about it and nodded.
Let’s not mention how to get the best food first. Just establishing a good relationship with the food station may be useful in the future.
Entering the office, they saw Fang Xiaosheng and Chen Daliang sitting in their seats with tired faces and yawning.
From the looks of it, the two of them must have been staring outside all night last night.
As soon as I said hello, I saw Xue Hongmei walking in furiously.
As soon as she saw Chu Xiangqiang, Xue Hongmei couldn't help but smile, pulled Chu Xiangqiang out of the office, and whispered, "Qiangqiang, the old lady said last night that if you are free, go and see her more often, do you understand?" Chu Xiangqian nodded hurriedly, knowing that the old lady was telling him to go to Xue Jinglan more often.
Then he asked Xue Hongmei, "Sister, I heard from the guard Sun that there has been a serious rat infestation at the grain station recently?"
Xue Hongmei nodded, then her eyes lit up, "Go forward, Uncle Sun is reminding you that you don't need those two hunting dogs to help the grain station deal with the rat infestation.
You don’t need to keep an eye on the grain station every day. As long as two hunting dogs catch a few mice every night, the number will be considerable in a month. That’s a moderate achievement.”
After saying that, Xue Hongmei pulled Chu Qianqian away, "I'll take you to see the director, and try to get your two hunting dogs to go on duty at the grain station tonight."
Chu Qianqian hurriedly followed, but after walking only a few steps, Xue Hongmei stopped, looked at Chu Qianqian and asked solemnly, "Qianqian, are you sure those two hunting dogs of yours can really catch mice?" Chu Xiangqian has full confidence in this aspect.
Except for the mice hiding in the mouse holes, as long as the mice emerge from the grain station, they will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of Da Zhuang and Hong Niu.
Even worse, there are still long-tailed tits.
After experiencing being chased by a peregrine falcon, the titmouse quickly learned the peregrine's method of striking and stunning its prey.
To deal with a mouse, you only need to pounce at a very fast speed and use two sharp claws to enlarge the mouse's head or even its body, which can injure and kill the mouse.
Just look at Chickadee’s record of killing 10 mice in just one hour last night.
Let alone a dozen mice a night, as long as the number of mice is sufficient, it is not difficult to get one or two hundred mice a night.
But Chu Xiangqian vaguely realized that this matter was not that simple.
When I arrived at the director's office, I saw no one, but it didn't bother Xue Hongmei.
I went to the communication room and made a call. Unexpectedly, the district was also angry about this matter. I was thinking of mobilizing some people from various units to go to the grain station to see how many mice they could catch.
Upon hearing that Chu Xiangqian took the initiative to apply for his two hunting dogs to stay at the grain station to help at night, the street director Cao Guanglin naturally welcomed him with both hands.
However, Cao Guanglin repeatedly told him to be serious and responsible on the phone.
Chu Xiangqian immediately became alert, secretly thinking that Cao Guanglin must have meant something in his words.
Maybe the people in charge have also noticed something unusual. After all, the losses at the grain depot were so great that if they said it was all because of rats, then they would really be fools.
It's just that I haven't been able to find out the problem, so I've been suppressing it.
Chu Qianqian secretly said that when he went this time, he would only let Da Zhuang and Hong Niu catch mice at night, but secretly he would let the long-tailed tits keep an eye on the grain station all the time.
Just a few seconds later, Chu Xiangqian sighed again.
If there really are rats, and the higher-ups want to exterminate them with great fanfare, their rats will naturally die out.
Otherwise, it is just hitting the muzzle of the gun.
In other words, when I went to the grain station this time, maybe I really just went to catch some mice.
I got on my bicycle and went out of the street. In a deserted alley, I released the tits to look around, and then released Da Zhuang and Hong Niu.
Ten minutes later, I arrived at the grain station and spoke to the guard. Not long after, I saw a middle-aged man walking out of the office building with two young people.
After introducing each other, Chu Xiangqian found out that the middle-aged man's name was Ke Ze, and he was the deputy director of the grain station.
Looking at the expressions of the other two young people, Chu Xiangqian knew that they did not welcome him.
Chu Xiangqian didn't care either. If it were him, he wouldn't want outsiders to solve the troubles he didn't solve.
In addition to losing face, you may also be exposed to your own internal problems.
When Chu Xiangjin entered the grain station, he only looked at a few grain silos, and soon discovered that things were not as simple as imagined.
The people at the food station are not stupid either. Some people have long thought of using cats and dogs to deal with rats when it comes to troubles that cannot be solved by manpower.
It's a pity that no matter how powerful cats and dogs are, they can't dig holes, so the effect is not as good as expected.
Moreover, when faced with a mountain of grain, the dog is completely useless and cannot catch up with the mice on the grain pile.
As for the cat, as long as the mouse burrows into the grain pile, there is nothing you can do about the mouse.
Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly, secretly thinking that he might as well just pretend.
Secretly, the chickadees were watching the grain storehouse, waiting to see if any mice would appear.
At about ten o'clock that night, Chu Qianqian closed the door and lay down in the fountain of Novice Village to take a bath, but his eyes were on the long-tailed tit.
Da Zhuang and Hong Niu were placed in the grain station by the people at the grain station, allowing them to wander around.
