Chapter 370: Chapter 370 Blushing with Embarrassment

"Then let’s try our best to prepare something nice. It is just a meal after all, and I can afford this much money. Let’s make sure it’s not inferior to what they have."

"You make it sound so easy. Who are they, and who are we? Don’t be fooled by that Lin, always saying she’s from the countryside. Have you ever seen a villager like her? As soon as she arrived, she had a whole set of new furniture, a TV, and a radio. Which of our farmers is as rich as them? We are the genuine, old peasants; even if we did have something, we couldn’t compare with them."

"If this won’t do and that won’t do, what exactly do you want?"

Feng Dajun ran out of patience, threw his chopsticks on the table, and frowned deeply.

Sister-in-law Feng was ultimately afraid of Feng Dajun. Seeing him truly angry, she spoke in a timid and compliant manner, "I don’t have any particular thoughts, I’m just saying Mr. Qin is not as simple as you think. You should be more careful when you go to work, don’t let others take advantage. As for hosting guests, let’s forget about it. They look down on us after all. If you invite a bunch of people and no one shows up, wouldn’t that be like putting your face on the ground for others to step on..."

......

The bustling atmosphere continued until after nine o’clock in the evening.

At this time, people had little nightlife, and not every household had a TV, with most already asleep by nine o’clock.

Minister Wei patted his belly contentedly, "Ah, I’m really full and satisfied today. Xiao Qin, you are indeed very blessed. The cooking skills of your family outshine even the State-Owned Restaurant. Little Lin has worked hard today, thank you both for your hospitality. It’s getting late, we should call it a day, so you can also get some rest."

With the minister’s words, the meal officially came to an end.

Minister Wei and Sister-in-law Gong went home first.

Fu Shouquan with his wife and child hurried home as well, now that their little girl was nodding off tiredly.

Jiang Hong wanted to help clean up, but was chased away by Sister-in-law Fu.

In the end, it was just Lin Chuxia and Sister-in-law Fu left to clean up the table.

Qin Yang did want to help, but Hu Qing’an, who was quite drunk today, kept holding him in conversation.

Lin Chuxia gave him a look, indicating that in this situation it was better to entertain the guest. Besides, with Sister-in-law Fu helping, it wasn’t quite appropriate for Qin Yang to butt in.

There were a lot of dishes used today, and some of them were even borrowed from Sister-in-law Fu’s house.

The two chatted idly while washing dishes, and eventually their conversation turned to Minister Wei and Sister-in-law Gong.

"Sister-in-law Gong is also quite lucky. Back when she was pregnant and giving birth, it coincided with a natural disaster. Not having enough food or drink during pregnancy was one thing, but then she had a difficult labor and nearly bled dry. Surviving that left her with barely any breath in her. I heard at that time the couple was living separately, and when Minister Wei heard about the situation, he rode his bicycle all night long to her, feeding her the food he had saved from his unit, mouthful by mouthful. And just like that, her life was saved, though her health wasn’t fully restored. Later, Minister Wei managed to arrange for both of their jobs to be in the same place. Over the years, he took good care of her, and that’s why she’s recovered to this point. People in the courtyard always say that a woman who finds a man like Minister Wei is lucky for life. Without him, Sister-in-law Gong’s breath wouldn’t have lasted long."

Lin Chuxia could imagine the peril at that time and it was clear to see that the couple shared a strong bond.

.........

Hou Xiaobao came to the city to celebrate the new business addition to Jia Liang’s Bun Shop and brought a piece of news for Lin Chuxia. freewebnovel.cσ๓

The county was going to hold the annual summary conference for various enterprises, and County Magistrate Bai specifically requested Lin Chuxia to attend.

In her past life, Lin Chuxia had also attended such meetings. It was the late 1980s by then, and private enterprises were sprouting up like bamboo shoots after rain; she was just one among many emerging shoots.

The current situation was entirely different. Although a few individual businesses had emerged, they mostly received recognition at the town and village level.

Even though her Xiyang Food Factory had grown to some extent, Lin Chuxia didn’t think she qualified to sit with the big shots from these state-owned enterprises.

Yet it was County Magistrate Bai who had personally named her.

"Alright, I got it. I’ll make sure to go on time."
