The police in the 60s love eating melons and working

"Mmm, it smells so good!"

It was a little late for the family to have dinner, but it didn’t dampen everyone’s enthusiasm for eating at all.

There was only one dish on the table, a big pot of chicken legs stewed with potatoes, and the four people were eating with their chopsticks flying around.

Chen Hu stewed 20 chicken legs and added 20 potatoes. It was a big pot full of stew, enough to be divided into several tables. It was really a solid and affordable dish. It was not that Chen Hu was extravagant, but in the hot summer, he could not keep anything.

Instead of making every meal these days to attract attention, it’s better to have one meal here.

The smell was very overbearing, and the fragrance wafted through the air upstairs and downstairs. In the middle of summer, everyone gathered downstairs to enjoy the cool air and could not even sit still.

"Big Plum is such a bad person. It's not a festival, but you eat so well. How can you save money if you live like this?"

"This chef is so good. No matter what he cooks, it always smells delicious..."

"Otherwise, I'd still have to be a cook. Look at the food they prepare. Just a little bit of this and that will fill you up. It saves money and fills your stomach. The whole family is big and strong..."

This statement has a somewhat different meaning.

Dujuan lives on the second floor, so how could they not hear it?

Chen Humei stood up when she heard this, rushed to the window and cursed: "Auntie Wang, you chatterbox, what do you mean, what's the matter? What do you want to say? You mean I took advantage of the public? If you have the guts, go and report me! Let someone check and see if I'm innocent. There are three workers in my family, and I'm a level six chef, with a monthly salary of 47.5 yuan; not to mention that my eldest brother and my husband also earn money, even if I don't earn money, can't I afford a meal of meat with my own salary? I know you just hate me for not lending meat to your family today, bah! Do you think everyone's family is the same as yours? You come to borrow meat when you smell it at mealtime, it's really ridiculous, you borrow but don't return it, don't have a bad face. Do you think you are easy to bully? Can't my family buy a meal of meat? Do you believe me, if you slander my family again, I will slap you to death, you old hag!"

No matter what, you must be confident!
Aunt Wang was scolded terribly.

Chen Humei screamed. Not only people downstairs, but also people from the surrounding buildings were looking out. Chen Humei continued to yell loudly: "I don't lend you meat, but you throw dirty water on me. I spoiled you! I'm telling you, don't let your shameless daughter bring a big bowl to my house in the future. The bowl is bigger than your face. How can you be so shameless! Your family is really shameless. Ugh, Ugh!"

"You, why are you talking like that, you..."

"You bastard, you can hide your thoughts from the master but not from me. As soon as you stick out your butt, I know what you are up to. Put your fox tail back! Bah!"

Aunt Wang's face flushed red, she was angry and embarrassed: "How can you talk like that? How can you be so mean!"

Chen Humei: “Puff!”

Stretch your head and spit!
With a chicken bone, he ran towards Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang: “Ah!”

She dodged quickly and the chicken bones fell in front of her.

"You, you, you, you are so uncultured!"

"You have manners. You have manners that make your widow daughter come to my house with her big butt twisted to ask for meat? Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Do you want to take advantage of my family? Dream on! Don't even think about it!" Chen Humei spoke foul language!

Du Guoqiang stood up silently, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Chen Humei silently.

Chen Humei was cursing until her mouth was dry, so she tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Cooperate tacitly.

"Big Plum, you haven't finished your meal yet, right? Come and eat quickly."

"Yeah, it's really hot this time, I'm really anxious, you should calm down..."

"Stop arguing. We are a police station's family compound. It would be unpleasant for others to hear."

"Auntie Wang, you too, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want. What if your words cause misunderstandings among outsiders? What's the policy now? Aren't you harming others?"

"Yes."

Everyone was talking at once, and Aunt Wang was furious. She hated these people for being flatterers. They just flattered Chen Humei because her family was well off. She was miserable. But she also knew that she had the intention to deceive people by saying that. When she was exposed, she was so aggrieved that she said, "Why are you like this..."

"Bah, if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked."

Chen Humei is really not polite at all!
She snorted heavily, turned back to the house, and said, "What a shameless family."

As for why Chen Humei reacted so strongly, firstly, if she didn't explain, it would be easy for people to accuse her of something if she passed the story around, and secondly, the relationship between the two families was indeed not good. There were six households on the first floor of their family building, and thirty-six households on the sixth floor, and his family had the worst relationship with this family.

They both lived on the second floor, their family lived at the end of the corridor, while the Wang family lived at the entrance of the corridor. Originally, they were neighbors and colleagues, and the two families had a good relationship.

Oh, yes. The male owner of this family is called Wang Chunsheng, who retired from the army and joined the public security department. His wife is called Guan Xiuzhen, and they have two daughters, Zhaodi and Laidi. Originally, they were neighbors and there was no conflict.

But in the second year after moving to the new family building, Wang Chunsheng's mother came, and not only did she come, she also brought Wang Chunsheng's widowed sister Wang Chunyan and her son Xiaoshun. The three of them stayed and refused to leave.

Wang Chunyan was a widow. She said her husband's family was vicious and cruel, so she had to take her son back to her parents' home. When she first arrived, everyone sympathized with her, but as time went on, this woman always flirted with other men and took advantage of them whenever they had something delicious to eat and drink. From then on, the female comrades in the family compound had some opinions about her.

She always plays the victim to men. Both Chen Hu and Du Guoqiang have been targeted. How could Chen Humei tolerate this?
In addition, Wang Chunsheng's mother, Aunt Wang Wang, always called Chen Hu a "eunuch" and talked behind his back, which made Chen Humei even more furious. She once slapped her in front of the neighbors. From then on, the two families became enemies.

As for why everyone is speaking in Chen Humei's favor, it's not because of who has better conditions, but simply because they don't think highly of Wang Chunyan's potential.

Originally, some angry female comrades in the compound wanted to sign a petition to drive her out, but Wang Chunsheng and Guan Xiuzhen were not happy about it. She kept saying that asking her to go back was like asking her to die, and she cried miserably, but many people softened their hearts, and the matter ended in vain.

Chen Humei is a typical Northeastern woman with a bad temper and a hatred of evil, and she looks down on her the most.

Which good person is so shameless?

She scolded, "This family is full of wicked people. Guan Xiuzhen is also a brainless person. She can be so coaxed by her mother-in-law that she doesn't know anything. Just wait and see. She has such a sister-in-law around. Sooner or later, she will cause big trouble." Du Juan was full and rubbing her stomach to digest the food. When she heard this, she remembered something and gossiped with her mother, "Mom, when I went to school to get my diploma a few days ago, I saw Uncle Wang buying red bean ice cream for Xiaoshun on the way. Zhaodi and Laidi followed him, but he didn't buy anything for them. Why do you think he did that?"

Dujuan didn’t understand how there could be people who treated outsiders better than their own children.

There is something wrong with the brain.

Chen Humei sneered and said, "Why else? It's because they favor sons over daughters! As long as the boy is a boy, a nephew is better than a daughter. Wang Chunsheng favors sons over daughters, and Guan Xiuzhen is also a fool. She taught her two daughters to be idiots."

She looked down on such old men and said disdainfully, "The whole family only cares about their sons. Don't get involved with the two girls in their family, or you'll get stupid."

Du Juan: “I know.”

Wang Chunsheng has two daughters, one fifteen and the other twelve. The elder daughter, Zhaodi, is not much younger than Dujuan, being only three years old. However, Zhaodi is weak and self-pitying. Not only does she devote herself to the boy, she also hopes that everyone will devote themselves to the boy. She always says "I am not worthy" and "Don't be selfish".

Both of her sisters were like this, so Du Juan couldn't play with them. There were many people of the same age in the compound, and Du Juan's best friends were her high school classmates.

When making friends, you always have to have the same values, otherwise it will be difficult to get along with them.

This is what her father taught her since she was a child, and Dujuan understands it best.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

No matter how old a child is, he is still a kid in the eyes of his parents.

Chen Humei: "What do you know about it..."

After a pause, Chen Humei solemnly warned: "Don't reveal any secrets to your friends!"

Dujuan felt like her ears were getting calluses.

Woo woo woo, her mother is so nagging.

Du Juan held up two fingers and said, "I swear, apart from the four of us, I will never let the fifth person know. Absolutely, absolutely not!"

Chen Humei: "What are you doing swearing for, kid? You're just doing all these weird things..."

Du Juan opened her eyes wide: "..."

It's obvious that she is the one who is always worried!
But before Du Juan could say anything, Chen Humei said seriously: "Don't exchange things randomly. You can't keep them in the summer. You have to save money no matter what you have. Don't spend money like crazy. We have to be careful. Look at what your neighbors are doing when you eat. Fortunately, our family is well-off, otherwise we would be in such a mess now..."

buzzing.

Du Juan: "I know, I know."

Her mother is so talkative!
I'm afraid I'm afraid!

slip away!

Du Juan stood up...

"What are you doing?"

Du Juan: "Go to the bathroom."

"You just don't like to hear me talk."

Du Juan looked at her father for help, and Du Guoqiang stepped forward: "She doesn't want to listen, but I do. Wife, come and try the apron I made for you today. Even though it's made from old clothes, I have a design..."

Chen Humei: "Let me see if you did it for my brother."

"We have them all. Big brother, you should try it too."

Chen Hu: "I can do anything."

He was busy in the kitchen.

Even though Du Guoqiang is no longer working, Chen Hu is still the one who prepares meals for the family.

This is not to force people to work, but Chen Hu loves this. For someone to cook is hard work, but for Chen Hu, this is a hobby!
Ordinary people cannot understand!

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Chen Hu: "We have so many eggs at home. If we can't finish them and they go bad, we'll lose money. I'll pickle some salted eggs."

Dujuan immediately said: "I still have a lot of gold coins, we can exchange them for a lot of eggs! I can exchange some more..."

Chen Humei's death stare.

Du Juan quickly understood the situation and said, "I'll listen to you. I'll listen to you. If you say we'll change it, then we'll change it. If you say we don't want to change it, then we won't change it. I'll listen to you."

Woohoo, her mother is a tigress!
