Chapter 688 The fragrance is too overbearing
Chapter 688 The fragrance is too overbearing
After a group of people were arrested in front of the butcher shop last time and a warning was given in a big way, everyone in Yard No. 9 was taken to a special detention room in the garrison area.
For a moment, everyone's looks at Ye Shu and her family became very complicated.
They finally realized that these families seemed to be protected by someone!
He dares to be so arrogant because he has someone backing him up!
Everyone remained silent, but beneath the quiet surface, there were some unknown undercurrents.
After Huo Yisheng's men took everyone from Courtyard 9 away, they finally couldn't help but start muttering among themselves:
"Is it really necessary to escalate such a small matter to such a high level?"
"Even if Aunt Gu is truly wrong, if they want to investigate and punish her, they should ask the public security department to come, right? Why did they take her directly to the garrison area? Do they have the authority to do that?"
"I told you there was something fishy about those families in Courtyard 2, and it seems to be true! They're so arrogant, relying on someone's backing! I wonder who's behind them?"
"I don't know about those three families, but I'm sure the person behind it is the new Captain Huo!"
"Oh, I want to see how many months this Captain Huo can stay here!"
The people around had complicated looks for a moment, but they exchanged knowing glances and went back home.
No matter what to do next, at least let's see the outcome of the handling of Courtyard No. 9 first.
*
Ye Shu and the others returned to the yard. Huo Junrou and Huo Junyao were playing shuttlecock in the yard. When they saw them come back, they immediately came out to greet them.
Huo Junrou whispered:
"Mom, Auntie, after you left just now, Auntie Zhao from the backyard was peeking at the door of Auntie's house. She even lifted the curtain to look inside, but we chased her away."
Mrs. Tang was surprised: "Are you sure?"
Huo Junyao also said:
"She not only lurked in front of my aunt's house, but also went to Aunt Jin and Aunt Zhuang's houses. But probably because we were staring at her, she just turned around and left."
Ye Shu and the others were so focused on dealing with Aunt Gu that they didn't really notice whether Zhao Jinhua was following them.
Ye Shu praised the two sisters of the Huo family: "You did a good job. I have two new red hairbands at home. I will give them to you later. They are perfect for little girls like you!"
The two sisters were very happy to hear this, but they didn't ask for it right away. Instead, they went to see Aunt Tang and got her permission. Then they happily thanked Ye Shu: "Thank you, Auntie!"
After the children went to play happily hand in hand again, Mrs. Tang said to Ye Shu, "I'll buy two for Guaiguai later."
The children were happy, and she didn't want to spoil their fun. Besides, this was also a reward for them taking good care of their families.
But she couldn't take advantage of her brother's wife for nothing.
She has been in the army for many years. Although Huo Yiting's rank and salary are not low, she also had a job and a salary before coming to Wumu District. However, with three children at home, the pressure of life is very great.
She knows how difficult life is, so she cannot take advantage of others.
No one’s money comes from the wind!
Ye Shu also liked his sister-in-law's personality. For example, the hairband seemed to be even once she returned it.
But it is different for children. In the children’s world, this is a gift given to them by their relatives and elders out of their love. It is different from the gifts prepared by their mothers at home!
The children's joy levels for this also vary.
Seeing Sister Jin carrying a basket and locking the door, Ye Shu asked, "Sister Jin, are you going to buy rice and flour?"
Sister Jin nodded:
"Yeah, since I promised Sanbaoer, I might as well go buy some. It's no big deal to give the kids a meal tonight. We can afford it, so there's no need for our children to bow down to others!"
Just because I didn’t get to eat white rice and white flour, I was scared and my child was even frightened to tears. It’s really not worth it!
The key is to lose the battle but not the war!
Although they should be frugal and not waste money, they should not let others look down on them casually.
They are just thrifty, not poor!
Zhuang Jingjing had the same idea as her, so she also came out with a basket: "I'm going too!"
Seeing this, Ye Shu said, "Then I'll go too. I'll go back and get a basket."
At this point, Mrs. Tang also said, "Then I'll go buy some too."
So the four female comrades went out together again and went to the grain store.
There are two separate counters for buying white flour, white rice and ordinary grains.
However, there are no long queues for white flour and white rice all year round, so you can basically buy them on a first-come, first-served basis.
Today was no exception. Four of them went and each bought two kilograms of flour and rice to take home.
On the way back, Mrs. Tang said:
"Now people nearby have seen us hiding. This is not a good thing. Everyone should be careful when going out in the future. Talk to the children when you go back so they don't get left alone."
Mrs. Jin sneered, "Humph! You still dare to cause trouble? You just haven't learned enough!"
Zhuang Jingjing offered a more comprehensive analysis: "This shows that these people are at least united in their interests. We are outsiders, so we must be careful."
Ye Shu: "They are waiting for the outcome of the No. 9 Courtyard's handling."
This is what she heard after concentrating on listening.
None of them spoke anymore. They all knew that the men in their families were going to do something big, but they didn't know what they were doing or what the outcome would be!
There's no way around it. This is the nature of military marriage. You can't ask about men's work.
If you are asked to cooperate, you must cooperate unconditionally.
Because of this incident during the day, that night, all four households in the front yard of Yard No. 2 cooked white rice or white flour.
For example, Ye Shu's family steamed white rice and white bread dumplings filled with radish and meat.
Mrs. Tang steamed white buns with sauerkraut and green beans filling at home.
Zhuang Jingjing's homemade white flour dumplings with cabbage and meat filling.
Hand-rolled noodles made by Mrs. Jin, topped with fried meat sauce.
The four families prepared different dishes, and each family sent a portion to the other three families.
So, every family had a different and very rich staple food of white rice and white flour that night!
Because every family either mixes meat filling or fries meat paste, the smell of meat oil and the aroma of white rice and white flour spread in the air, which is quite strong.
So, Ye Shu simply cooked braised small yellow croaker.
The fragrant smell of seafood aggressively penetrates people's nostrils.
The children in the compound were all very happy. They got to eat delicious food, just like it was Chinese New Year!
However, several families in the backyard of Yard No. 2 and the people in the yard next door were about to collapse.
The aroma was so overpowering and stimulating that the children couldn't help but cry, "I want to eat white rice and white flour too! I want to eat meat too!"
"Wow, what is this fragrance? It smells so good and tastes so good. I'm hungry too. I want to eat it too!"
The adults can't coax him at all!
And they themselves were so hooked that they wanted to drool!
