Chapter 26 A half-grown man eats a poor man

"Hiccup~!"

"Uh~!"

In a courtyard deep in Wangjiashan, a dozen high school students were slumped on bamboo chairs without any image, moaning (groaning)!

A group of people weakly looked up at the sky at one o'clock in the afternoon through the bright tiles under the eaves, and belched with satisfaction from time to time!

"Are you full?"

Chen Li looked at the little cousin beside him and asked, as for his classmates, there was no need to ask more.

When Chen Li opened the lid of the iron pot to stew the goose, his classmates were waiting in the kitchen like wolf cubs waiting to be fed.

In order to be able to eat the delicacies made by Chen Li in time, these guys quickly completed the work of cleaning, placing the dishes and chopsticks, and preparing the table for the meal.

When Chen Li put a large pot of goose stewed with potatoes, a large pot of pickled fish and a large pot of corn tortillas on the table, everyone immediately started devouring them.

The more people eat, the better it will be fragrant, and the result of this "fragrance" is that a pot of pickled fish, a pot of stewed goose with potatoes, and a pot of corn tortillas are all eaten, and only a little soup is left in the end.

.

Uh, no, the pickled fish didn’t even have any soup, and a bunch of half-grown wolf cubs drank the pickled fish soup directly.

As the saying goes, a half-grown man will live in poverty, and this is true.

Fortunately, Chen Li asked Wang Yan and Wang Xiaodong to deliver the food before it was cooked, otherwise there wouldn't be anything left.

"Hiccup~!"

"I am full!"

Just as Wang Yan was about to answer, a burp came out of her mouth, and the little girl quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

After answering, the little girl immediately stood up and started clearing the table, ignoring the mess on the table. This was something she was used to doing at home.

The thirteen-year-old girl is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising. After all, there is such a grandma who values ​​boys over girls!

Well! In fact, Chen Li is not qualified to slander his grandmother. After all, as a male, even if he is just a grandson, Chen Li's importance in his grandmother's heart is several levels higher than that of Wang Yan, his biological granddaughter.

In particular, Chen Li has had good grades since he was a child. His family has always believed that Chen Li will be admitted to college. This is a great thing for Wangjiacun at this moment.

Although Chen Li is not from Wangjiacun, his mother is, so rounding up, Chen Li can be regarded as half of Wangjiacun?

Wangjiacun has yet to produce any college students! Even high school students are very few.

Chen Li's mother only went to junior high school and didn't even finish it. That was because Chen Li's grandfather was still there at the time.

It's strange to say. When Mrs. Wang was still alive, Chen Li's grandmother was actually a very kind person.

But after Chen Li's grandfather, Mrs. Wang, passed away, the old lady seemed to have become a different person, becoming more and more serious.

In the words of Chen Li's mother, grandma was very angry with the old man back then and did not dare to get angry with the old man. She could only take it out on her children after the old man passed away.

Chen Li in his previous life did not understand this, because his grandmother was very good to him, so his impression of his grandmother has always been very good.

But after reviving his life and seeing the old lady from another angle, Chen Li still felt that the old lady was quite good.

It's just that it's only for him personally.

To Chen Li, grandma is just grandma, a kind-hearted old lady.

But for Wang Yan and her mother, this grandmother and in-laws may not be so good.

Therefore, growing up in such an environment, Wang Yan, a little girl, has been very sensible since she was a child.

"You just sit here? A group of high school students are not as sensible as an elementary school student!"

"Swallow, sit down and let them wash the dishes!"

Chen Li raised his hand and pressed Wang Yan's shoulder, signaling the little girl to put down the bowl in her hand.

"I know~! Do you want to remind me?"

"I'm just a little full from eating, I just need to rest for a while!"

The first person to answer was Liu Qingqing. After getting along with each other for a period of time, Liu Qingqing gradually got used to the conversational mode with Chen Li.

"That's right. But I really didn't expect that Chen Li, your cooking would be so delicious!"

Zhao Xiaoqiu on the side also stretched his body, and Li Yuan's eyes were a little straight when he looked at it.

"Don't talk nonsense. Clean up the dishes and kitchen. If you're sleepy, you can take a nap."

"The sun is too strong at noon. At three or four o'clock, let Wang Xiaodong take you around Wangjiashan!"

"Don't forget that you came to Wangjiashan to see the scenery, not to eat!"

"By the way, dinner starts at 7:30 in the evening, let's eat noodles!"

Chen Li urged everyone to clean up quickly. He planned to take a nap.

"Ah, just eat noodles tonight?"

"That's it. Chen Li, your cooking is so delicious, why don't you cook another good meal for me!"

"That's right!"

It was still a big meal of fish and meat at noon, but it was downgraded to noodles in the evening. This kind of treatment was a little hard to accept.

"Haha. If you want to eat well, you can! Pay the money!"

"You only paid five yuan each, and I had to provide you with three meals. I also let you stay one night in the mountain for free."

"You are so brave to dare to make demands one by one!"

In fact, these days, if a classmate comes to their home as a guest, their parents will almost always provide them with plenty of food and drink.

But Chen Li was too lazy to serve these guys. After all, this was not his home, his home was at a grain station!

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have cared about my dad asking for more money!"

"That's right, Chen Li, please tell me earlier!"

"If you order for ten yuan, we can have another good meal tonight!"

"yes!"

"How about we come here to play again during the summer vacation? Just treat it as a summer escape!"

"I think it works, what do you think, Chen Li?"

Even though each of these guys' families are considered middle class in Erlong Town, these days the middle class in Erlong Town and the serious middle class are two different things.

Not to mention anything else, the daily living standards of these guys are actually average. They just have enough food and clothing, and occasionally have a dollar or two in pocket money.

Although Chen Li's cooking skills cannot be compared with those of great chefs, at least these days he is still at a "restaurant" level.

This naturally makes these guys very excited.

"Get out of here and hit me with a hammer!"

"When I asked you to pay five yuan, none of you were very happy, but now you are complaining!"

"It's only five yuan, and I still put money into it myself!"

"So... there will be no next time!"

In fact, what Chen Li said was a bit false. Although he only had five yuan per person, in fact he still wouldn't put any money in it!

Thirteen people apart from him had sixty yuan. A fish cost twenty, a goose was only about twenty, and other ingredients such as potatoes, cornmeal, sauerkraut, etc. were not worth much at all.

Plus a meal of noodles and a meal of rice porridge. In total, Chen Li can still earn 80 cents?

But Chen Li couldn't care less about this little money, let alone a night's stay. He was too lazy to serve these guys.

Don't say that you shouldn't charge money for the friendship between classmates. It's enough for one or two people. The expenses for these dozen people to stay at someone's house for a few days are indispensable.

Chen Li in his previous life may not have understood this, but Chen Li today is determined not to bring this kind of trouble to his grandmother's family.

Doing this will only make families who are already not wealthy even worse.

In addition, Chen Li has now completed his mission, so the trip to Wangjiashan

There's no next time!
