Song Jia could see that Zhao Yufen was giving her some advice.
So she stayed in the Zhou family for a long time to take care of the two children.
When she passed by the Fu family, she heard the sound of men talking and laughing. It was obvious that the group of men were still eating.
She shook her head helplessly and heard her children say in their innocent voices: "Mom, when can we come to Aunt Lin's house for dinner?"
"The food Auntie Lin cooks is the best I've ever eaten. If my stomach wasn't full, I wouldn't want to leave the table."
Both Song Jia and her two children put down their chopsticks reluctantly only after they had eaten no more.
Thinking about the dishes they had at noon today, not only her two children, but even she felt a little greedy.
It’s a pity that there are too many people going to Fu’s house for dinner today.
Lin Xi basically didn't hide anything.
Cook all the dishes in the kitchen.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the old men in the family to still be eating it now.
They really didn't want to leave any for Lin Xi and the others, so they had no leftovers to share.
Song Jia just returned home with her two children.
Other sisters-in-law in the family compound came over.
"Xiao Song, did you have lunch at Captain Fu's house today?"
"Why did Captain Fu and the others think of inviting you to dinner?"
"It seems that quite a few people went to have dinner with Captain Fu today. What dishes did his wife prepare for you?"
"When I came over, I heard Captain Fu and his men were still having dinner. How come you and your two children came back first?"
……
Faced with these sisters-in-law who were obviously here to inquire about news and gossip, Song Jia smiled politely and shyly, but still answered their questions patiently.
After hearing what they had for lunch today, the sisters-in-law present were all shocked.
"Captain Fu's monthly allowance is only so small. How can it be enough for you to eat like this? Will their family survive for the next half month?"
"That's right, Captain Fu's wife is really bad at managing her life."
After hearing the doubts and criticisms from the sisters-in-law present, Song Jia finally understood why Zhao Yufen told her before leaving that everyone would have money when Captain Li and his men went to Captain Fu's house for dinner.
"Then, how much did your Captain Li pay?"
"Why do Captain Fu and his team ask the guests to pay for their meal? They are so rude!"
"Is Captain Fu's wife making money from this?"
Song Jia said: "It turns out that Captain Fu and his wife didn't intend to take the money."
"My husband and his family haven't eaten meat for a long time. They all want to eat something good instead of the food in the cafeteria. So, this group of men discussed it and decided to pool their money to buy vegetables. Captain Fu's wife didn't keep any of the vegetables they bought for herself and cooked them all for them. You didn't see the scene in the Fu family's yard today..."
"Because the people who come here are all grown men who can eat, Captain Fu's wife basically uses basins the size of washbasins to serve the dishes. Each dish is piled high. The rice and steamed buns are also served in wooden barrels used to serve rice in the cafeteria. The vegetables that Xiao Zhou and his friends buy are all washed and cut by Captain Fu's wife before they are even washed and cut by her..."
This is the first time that Song Jia has been treated like a star in such a long time of living in the family compound.
She then vividly described to the sisters-in-law in the staff quarters everything she had seen and experienced at the Fu family.
"Captain Fu and his wife spent a lot of money on today's meal, but my husband and his wife have been looking forward to this meal for a long time. It can be seen that Captain Fu and his wife are honest people. I heard from Zhou Tuan's wife that Captain Fu and his wife rarely take advantage of others..."
The sisters-in-law present were both envious and jealous when they learned that the group of young soldiers who came today bought so many meat dishes to go to Fu Huaichuan's house.
They wished they were taking the food to their house.
But he was surprised to learn that Fu Huaichuan and Lin Xi cooked all those dishes without hiding anything.
If it were them, they would at least save some food for their family to eat later.
"It's a pity that Captain Fu loves his wife dearly. If there was no reason, he wouldn't agree even if I paid him to help cook. Today's meal is also to thank my husband for helping me and Brother Zhou take care of their home before they moved in."
"Didn't your Captain Li tell you how much he spent on today's meal?"
The sisters-in-law present still wanted to know how much money Captain Li and his men paid to have dinner at Fu Huaichuan's house.
Song Jia shook her head and said, "He didn't say, but it shouldn't be much, because he didn't have much money in the first place, and it should be only one dollar at most."
Captain Zhou, who holds such a high position, only contributed one dollar. It is impossible for Captain Li to contribute more than Captain Zhou. Song Jia is very clear about this.
"Then this dollar you spent is well worth it. Even if you go to the cafeteria, it would be hard to enjoy so many delicious dishes like Captain Fu and his wife do."
For one dollar, a family of four had a full meal, which was cheaper than cooking at home.
Song Jia nodded and said, "Anyway, Captain Fu and his wife are both pretty down-to-earth."
"With the attitude of those old men in their yard who won't leave the table until they have finished their meal, I am worried whether Captain Fu and his family will have anything to eat for dinner."
So Song Jia planned to pick some vegetables from her own vegetable garden and bring them to Lin Xi so that their family would not have no food to eat in the evening.
"Captain Fu's wife really didn't leave any food for her family?"
Song Jia shook her head and said, "No."
"Captain Fu's wife was even worried that the food wouldn't be enough for the old men!"
"Didn't you remind her?"
Generally, when a family entertains guests at noon, they will save some food for the family to eat in the evening.
Song Jia: "I reminded you."
"But the men who came today are all grown men with big appetites. Moreover, they haven't had meat for a long time, so Captain Fu's wife didn't leave any food for her family, saying that they can just make anything to eat in the evening. Let the grown men who came today eat first, otherwise they don't know when they will be able to eat these meals next time!"
The sisters-in-law present thought this was true, but when they asked themselves, they realized they definitely couldn't do it.
So they remained silent.
After a while, someone asked, "You met Captain Fu's wife today. What do you think of her?"
"Captain Fu's wife has a good personality, is easy-going and capable, and is also very beautiful. But the one who really makes the decisions in their family seems to be Captain Fu, because Captain Fu thinks his wife is too easy to talk to. But although Captain Fu has a cold face all day long and looks like he doesn't want anyone to get close to him, he loves his wife very much and is afraid that she will be tired..."
Song Jia rattled off a bunch of things she knew.
The sisters-in-law present were all envious after hearing this.
Until Song Jia came out, everyone was still a little dazed, so much so that when they returned home and saw the man who ate and slept all the time, they were immediately furious.
In their words, he is not as good-looking as Captain Fu, nor as capable as him, but he is the best at being lazy.
At the same time, many people also wanted to make friends with Lin Xi.
