Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 124 You are so kind

Li Zi, who had no sense of observation, didn't notice her elder brother's discomfort and kept asking, "Brother, what are you thinking about? I'm asking you a question."

Knowing that he would not agree with Li Zi and say that he was pretty in such a crowded place, Tao Qiuyi raised an eyebrow and looked at Wei Jingyuan.

"Yeah." Wei Jingyuan hummed lightly.

"Big brother..." Li Zi was dissatisfied with this and was about to speak when Xiao Huai said, "You and your sister-in-law have both gained weight on your faces."

The two public security comrades who were eating opposite listened to their conversation, lowered their heads and tried hard not to laugh out loud, but still accidentally made some strange noises.

It attracted the attention of Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan.

Under the gazes of the two men, Luo Gongan could barely hold on, but his colleague next to him could hardly bear it.

Fortunately, the waiter came to serve the dishes. Tao Qiuyi ordered a plate of signature braised pork, a plate of shredded pork with celery, a plate of stir-fried white radish, and a plate of egg and cabbage soup.

When three dishes and a soup were served, Li Zi and Xiao Huai were stunned.

Tao Qiuyi patted Li Zi's arm, and when she came back to her senses, she said, "Be good, go back and sit down to eat."

Li Zi had just returned to her seat when the waiter brought over four large bowls of white rice. Wei Jingyuan pushed one of the bowls in front of his sister. "Don't just stand there, eat."

Li Zi picked up the bowl and chopsticks, but was reluctant to start eating.

Tao Qiuyi also put a bowl of rice in front of Xiao Huai. Xiao Huai picked up the bowl and chopsticks like Li Zi, but did not move.

Looking at the bowl in front of her, Tao Qiuyi was worried. She could never finish such a big bowl of white rice!
They had lived together for quite some time. Seeing Tao Qiuyi staring at her bowl, Wei Jingyuan knew she couldn't finish the rice in it, so he whispered, "You eat first."

Tao Qiuyi tilted his head to look at him.

"Eat first." Wei Jingyuan picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Tao Qiuyi's bowl. There were outsiders eating at the same table, so he was embarrassed to say it directly. He would help her with the leftovers.

This time, Tao Qiuyi understood what he meant immediately. He picked up the braised pork in the bowl and took a bite of the lean meat. It tasted okay. He looked up and saw that Li Zi and Xiao Huai had not picked up their chopsticks yet.

Wei Jingyuan next to him had already finished half a bowl of rice.

"What are you two doing standing there? Eat quickly, the meat won't taste good if it gets cold." Tao Qiuyi added, "Four pieces of braised pork, one piece is just right for each of us."

Li Zi and Xiao Huai then started to eat. They were very careful when picking up the dishes, for fear of making mistakes and being laughed at.

It was the first time in her life that she had dinner at the same table with the police colleagues. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous. Before that, the two of them didn't even dare to say a word.

Tao Qiu frowned at the two children's reserved attitude and said, "Why are you two being so awkward? Just treat it like you're having dinner at home."

Luo Gongan, who was eating at the same table, had just put down his chopsticks when he heard Tao Qiuyi's words and casually echoed them. "Yes, just treat it as eating at home."

To be honest, Luo Gongan was quite surprised to see Wei Jingyuan having dinner here with his wife and younger brother and sister.

Two years ago, Wei Jingyuan recovered from his leg injury and something like that happened at home again. He originally sympathized with Wei Jingyuan and thought that this was how his life would end.

Who would have thought that two years later, he would marry a beautiful young wife, and their lives would get better and better. Wei Jingyuan's wife looked young and was quite nice to his younger siblings.

Another public security comrade also finished his meal, said hello, and the two got up and left.

After eating the pork belly and two layers of lean meat, Tao Qiuyi started to worry again. She didn't like eating greasy fat, but people of this era liked to eat fat.

"Give it to me." Wei Jingyuan silently pushed the bowl in front of her. "Wei Jingyuan, you're so kind." Tao Qiuyi's face immediately lit up, and she pushed the untouched half of the rice in her bowl into Wei Jingyuan's, and also gave him the fat meat.

Wei Jingyuan was stunned by her words "You are so nice", and his eyes looked at her with a deeper look.

Tao Qiuyi didn't notice Wei Jingyuan's strange behavior. She was talking to Li Zi, "Li Zi, is the braised pork delicious? Can you make it taste similar when you go back?"

Tao Qiuyi was thinking that with her guiding Li Zi, the braised pork she would make would definitely taste better than this.

"No." Li Zi shook her head honestly, remembering Luo Gongan saying that pork belly was hard to buy. "Sister-in-law, that Gongan comrade just said that pork belly was hard to buy."

"Buying meat is not a problem. I recognize your sister-in-law..." Tao Qiuyi suddenly stopped talking. As for buying meat, she and her elder sister went to the meat processing plant last time and bought a lot of meat and put it in the ring space.

Later she was busy and forgot to take it out to eat.

She would find an opportunity to enter the space and see how much meat was left.

Seeing that Li Zi was still waiting for him to speak, Tao Qiuyi smiled and said, "Leave the task of buying meat to me, you just take care of it."

"Okay." Li Zi nodded obediently.

Tao Qiuyi hurried to the ring space to check the meat. She finished the rice in her bowl in a few bites, put down the bowl, stood up, and left in a hurry after saying that she was going to the toilet.

After walking into the toilet and lowering the curtain, Tao Qiuyi immediately entered the ring space. Passing piles of herbs and boxes of gold, he finally saw the bag with the meat processing plant printed on it in the corner.

There was a goat lying next to the bag.

Tao Qiuyi walked over and opened the bag. Wow, there were five pounds of pork belly, ten pounds of pork legs, and two pig feet.

In other words, for such a long time, she had not taken out any meat except for two pounds of fat and pig offal on the day she bought it.

Fortunately, the things stored in the ring space will not go bad, otherwise she would be heartbroken if so much meat went bad.

"Sister-in-law, are you in there?" Li Zi's voice came from outside.

Tao Qiuyi hurried out of the ring space and lifted the curtain to see Li Zi standing outside with a hint of uneasiness on her little face.

"What's wrong?" Tao Qiuyi walked up to her.

Seeing Tao Qiuyi, the uneasiness on Li Zi's face disappeared instantly, and she smiled. "My brother asked me to come and see my sister-in-law. I also want to go to the bathroom. Please wait for me."

After saying that, Li Zi walked past Tao Qiuyi and headed towards the bathroom.

When Li Zi came out, she saw Tao Qiuyi holding a pig's trotter in her hand and asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, where did you buy the pig's trotter?"

"Just now, the kitchen staff said that there were too few customers eating pig's trotters today, so they bought too many. I asked them and bought one." Tao Qiuyi replied, handing the pig's trotter to Li Zi, "Come on, pick it up. We're having mushroom stewed pig's trotter soup tonight."

"Okay." Li Zi happily followed Tao Qiuyi, holding the pig's feet.

Wei Jingyuan and Xiao Huai saw the two people go to the toilet, and came back with a pig's trotter. They asked them how they got there. Li Zi repeated what Tao Qiuyi said.

Xiao Huai didn't know that you could buy things in this way, so he naturally didn't ask any more questions.

"Does the kitchen of a state-owned restaurant still sell raw pig's feet?" Wei Jingyuan asked with a frown. He was not sure whether the kitchen actually sold raw pig's feet.
