Chapter 369 Treat
Since Qin Yang was transferred here, his leaders and several colleagues have taken good care of him. His position is neither high nor low, and according to past practice, they would treat everyone to a meal.

They didn’t intend to make any special arrangements, it’s just that there are a lot of people being transferred this time and they didn’t want to take the blame.

They were busy with their eldest sister’s affairs a while ago, and they heard that some people who were transferred from the compound started to arrange to treat everyone to a dinner, so they followed the trend.

“Okay, I’ll go there early then,” Jiang Hong responded happily.

In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang got up early in the morning and went to the vegetable market, buying chicken, fish and meat.

Nowadays, when we entertain guests, we like to have big fish and meat.

Jiang Hong came early in the afternoon. Just after she arrived, Mrs. Fu from next door also came to help.

Today Qin Yang invited his leaders, Wei Bingchang and his wife, Hu Qingan’s family, as well as an office colleague Fu Shouquan and his family, and finally Li Wei and his wife.

Wei Bingchang is a few years older than Hu Qing’an, and is nearly 50 years old. His wife Gong Shuling is also approaching retirement age. They also have a son, one of whom is working and the other is attending university in another city.

Qin Yang said that he was able to be transferred here not only because of his own willingness, but also because of the great help of Minister Wei. It can be said that he was specifically selected by Minister Wei to come here.

Many guests were invited today, and Lin Chuxia bought a lot of dishes as well. In the end, two tables were set up, one for men and one for women, which made it quite lively.

At the dinner table, men clinked glasses and women talked about everything under the sun.

In particular, they all praised Lin Chuxia’s craftsmanship.

Gong Shuling picked up a piece of fish and praised sincerely, “I haven’t eaten so much in a long time. Every time my husband Wei persuades me to eat more, I also know that eating more is good for the body, but I just can’t eat it. It turns out that it’s not my appetite that’s the problem, but the cooking skills of Lao Wei are not good enough.”

When Lin Chuxia saw Gong Shuling coming in just now, she could tell that this woman was not in good health and was frail and thin.

Including complexion, obvious deficiency of qi and blood.

He walked into the house with Minister Wei. Although in this day and age men are put first in everything when traveling outside, Minister Wei took care of his old wife in every way.

Lin Chuxia could also hear that Minister Wei was very caring towards her wife who was not in good health.

Sister Fu has been here for so many years and knows more.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, “That’s hard to say. I’m also thinking of learning from you. Let Xiaolin tell us how to cook the fish and meat so deliciously. Then let Minister Wei come to teach us.”

“I think it’s okay,” Gong Shuling said with a smile, looking at Lin Chuxia, “I just don’t know if Xiaolin will teach me.”

“Yes,” Lin Chuxia said generously, “If you want to recruit a ministerial student, you must offer this course.”

“Then I will come too and be classmates with the minister,” Mrs. Fu raised her hand.

Minister Wei is well-known in the compound for being good to his wife and for having a good temper.

Even the families of his colleagues were a little bolder in front of him.

The conversation here became more lively, and the voices became louder. Minister Wei probably heard people talking about him, so he looked at his wife and asked, “What classmate?”

Gong Shuling glanced at him with a smile and said, “Drink your wine, it’s none of your business.”

Minister Wei chuckled, picked up his wine glass and raised it to Qin Yang and the others, then said with a smile, “Look how excited they are, and they don’t allow us to interrupt them. Come on, let’s drink. They can have their fun, and we can drink ours.”

In the staff building not far away, the Feng family was also having dinner.

Mrs. Feng handed a large white flour pancake to Feng Dajun, and then naturally picked up a pancake and broke it in two, keeping one half for herself and handing the other half to Feng Jingjing next to her.

Feng Jingjing took the pancake and took a bite, and her chopsticks picked up the pickles on the table.

Feng Dajun frowned slightly, “Didn’t I tell you that my salary is not low now, so I don’t have to cook two dishes, I can afford to eat white flour alone.”

Mrs. Feng was eating some bread and pickles, not taking this seriously at all.

“Even if you can afford it, it doesn’t mean you’ll spend all your salary. With your salary, you still have to send 10 yuan back home every month. Besides, you have to pay for our food and the children’s schooling. If you don’t save money, when will you be able to buy a TV?”

“If you want to save money, save it. How can you eat two kinds of food on the same table?”

Feng Dajun pushed the fried dish in front of him to Feng Jingjing and took a pancake for himself.

Feng Jingjing looked at her mother while cooking, then said, “Dad, I don’t like this. I like pickles.”

Mrs. Feng was very satisfied with her daughter’s answer and pushed the dishes towards her husband. “Eat your food and don’t worry about us. You work so hard, how can you not eat something good? You eat so much that you are plump and white, so when you stand out, you won’t be looked down upon by others.”

Seeing Feng Dajun frowning impatiently again, Feng’s wife tried to persuade him first, “Don’t be offended by this. I’m telling the truth. You don’t know that you’re at work all day. These people in the family compound are all looking down on others. A few days ago, we were selling cabbages in the compound. The neighbors lived there. What would have happened if we informed them? But they went to buy cabbages in groups of three or two. No one paid any attention to us. I’ve said it before, city people are snobbish. Qin Gong was transferred here with you, and Qin Gong’s wife came a few days later than me. Someone notified her because she was a city person and dressed well.”

“That’s not necessarily true. They live in the hospital, so they are always better informed than us who live in the family building,” Feng Dajun advised.

“What? You don’t know. If it was just this little thing, I wouldn’t be so angry. Qin Gong’s wife and Li Wei’s wife brought such a big pile of cabbage. I arrived late and asked to share a few. Li Wei’s wife didn’t say anything yet, but Qin Gong’s wife started to talk as if I was taking advantage of them. It’s not like I didn’t pay them. I even said I would help Li Wei’s wife move the vegetables.”

Feng Dajun thought about it and still had some impression of Qin Yang’s wife.

She is a very beautiful woman.

“That’s not the case. Maybe you misunderstood.”

“What’s there to misunderstand? I’ve seen it a long time ago. She just looks down on us who come from the countryside.”

As Mrs. Feng spoke, she pointed outside.

“You know about their dinner party today, right? I’ve asked around, she invited Li Wei and his wife but not you. You two are from the same place, and you two are at the same level. What do they mean by this?”

Feng Dajun pursed his lips and said, “It’s been such a long time since we moved, we should treat everyone to a meal.”

Mrs. Feng’s eyes widened immediately. “You’re inviting everyone to dinner? How? I say that Engineer Qin and his people have bad intentions. You’re all on the same level anyway. He made such a big fuss, how can others do anything? I think he just wants to outdo you on purpose.”
