Greenery Ace No. 9

Chapter 317 It's okay to be hungry

Zhou Ming hurriedly jumped off the shelf, and helped Zhou Zheng and Wang Dali one by one: "Look at Uncle's brain, he was only thinking about working, and he forgot that you haven't eaten yet! This is no way to treat guests!
Zhou Zheng, take them home quickly. If Dali and Zheng Bin are too hungry, you can make them some simple rice first, and then you can eat some too. After the meal, kill the chicken and stew it, and I will finish it. After work, go to the small shop to buy some snacks, and let's have a good meal when I go back. "

As soon as he heard about the chicken stew, Wang Dali drooled immediately, and he said to Zhou Ming with a smile on his face: "Uncle, we are young, it's okay to be hungry, we'd better wait for you to come back together before eating." , otherwise it would be impolite."

Zhou Ming patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be too polite with Uncle, go back with Zhou Zheng quickly, let him cook for you whatever you want to eat, and I will go back as soon as I finish the finishing work."

"Okay!" Wang Dali laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

Zhou Zheng squinted at Wang Dali, and said in his heart, Wang Dali, don't pretend to be polite, don't I know your little thoughts?You must be afraid that if you go back and eat first, you won't be able to eat much after the chicken is stewed.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zheng laughed secretly, but of course he wouldn't say it out loud.

"What are you smirking at, take them back quickly."

Zhou Ming pushed Zhou Zheng away, then turned around and returned to the shelf, continuing to work on the shelf.

Zhou Zhengchong waved to Wang Dali, meaning to let him come out with him. When he was about to leave the door, Zhou Zheng turned his head, looked at his father on the shelf, and said, "Dad, pay attention to your work and come back as soon as you finish. Waiting for you to eat together!"

"Come on, I got it, if I haven't returned after the meal is ready, don't wait for me, you eat first."

Zhou Ming said without turning his head.

"understood."

Zhou Zheng turned around and left the house, Wang Dali followed behind him, the two came to the middle of the yard, saw that there was no sign of Zheng Bin in the yard except Li Sanshu, Wang Dali just wanted to ask Li Sanshu where Zheng Bin had gone, Zhou Zheng Suddenly poked him, then motioned for him to look at the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Zheng Bin was sitting on a small stool. While eating snacks, he leisurely stirred the firewood with a fire stick. While chatting with him, Aunt Li would pick up a chopstick and send it to him every time he made a small dish. In his mouth, let him taste how it tasted. Every time after tasting, Zheng Bin was full of praise for the dishes he had tasted.

Standing in the courtyard, Zhou Zheng and Wang Dali looked at each other. Their eyes were quite complicated. Zhou Zheng's eyes were full of curiosity. He really didn't understand why Zheng Bin was so powerful. It was less than an hour after he entered the courtyard. Unexpectedly, he won the favor of Aunt Li at once. Zhou Zheng knew that the snacks in Zheng Bin's hands were saved by Aunt Li for the Chinese New Year, and he couldn't even eat them at ordinary times. , How much Aunt Li likes Zheng Bin.

And Wang Dali's eyes are full of anger and jealousy. He is also a friend and classmate who came back with Zhou Zheng. Why do I have to work as a coolie in the house hungry? This kid didn't do anything, but hid in the kitchen leisurely This kind of differential treatment is too unfair.

Zhou Zheng and Wang Dali walked into the kitchen lightly, but Aunt Li and Zheng Bin were completely unaware of their actions.

"Is it tasty?"

Standing behind Zheng Bin, Zhou Zheng suddenly asked this question.

Zheng Bin was so frightened that he quickly stood up, holding the snacks in both hands, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Are you two done with your work?"

After turning around and seeing Wang Dali, Zheng Bin's expression became even more unnatural.

Wang Dali stared at the snacks in Zheng Bin's hand for a long time, then snorted and turned his head to look elsewhere.

"Is it tasty?"

Zhou Zheng asked again.

At this time, Third Aunt Li also saw Zhou Zheng and Wang Dali, and after realizing that the expression on Zheng Bin's face was unnatural, she hurried over to help him out: "Oh, you two young fellows work very fast, so you can finish the work in a short while." Done?"

Zhou Zheng pouted his lips pretendingly: "That's not it, coolies like us are destined to work, unlike some people who can eat delicious food without working."

Hearing Zhou Zheng's sour words, Zheng Bin felt even more uncomfortable. He immediately explained to Zhou Zheng and Wang Dali: "These things were given to me by Aunt Li. They are delicious. You two should try them."

"I can't afford it."

Zhou Zheng pushed aside Zheng Bin's hand that was handing the snacks, pretending to be panicked.

Zheng Bin passed snacks to Wang Dali again.

"I don't have that mouth for eating snacks." Wang Dali turned around and avoided it.

The two made Zheng Bin blush, and he froze in place, not knowing what to do for a while.

Fortunately, Third Aunt Li came forward to help him out again. Seeing that Zhou Zheng and Wang Dali had expressions on their faces that were not angry, she immediately laughed and said, "Why are you two so sour? Huh? How old are you? It's time to marry a wife in two years, why are you still blushing because of fighting for food? Don't feel shy!"

The two words made Wang Dali and Zhou Zheng not feel embarrassed.

Wang Dali wanted to explain, to cover up his embarrassment, but with his clumsy tongue, he didn't know how to say: "Aunt Li, no...we were just joking! Just kidding, we are all How can you be angry because of these things, young man?"

Third Aunt Li immediately grabbed hold of this sentence, took some snacks from Zheng Bin, stuffed them into the hands of Wang Dali and Zhou Zheng, and said with a smile at the same time: "Let me just say, you are so big, why don't you eat it?" You will be angry because of such a trivial matter, come... you two eat together, so as not to say that the third aunt is partial later."

Wang Dali took it without any prospect and ate it: "How can Aunt Li be biased, you are very kind to us."

"That's right. Now that the work is done, you can go outside to eat snacks and rest for a while. Third Aunt will cook the meal right away. After it's done, let the three of you eat first."

While talking, Third Aunt Li went back to the stove and started cutting vegetables again.

Zhou Zheng held the snack in his hand and didn't open it to eat. He put the snack in his pocket and leaned against the door frame with his shoulders in his arms. Seeing Wang Dali eating the snack so uselessly, he suddenly sneered and looked at Li The third aunt smiled and said: "Third aunt, that's not what you said. The two of us have emotions not because of this food, but because of your differential treatment. It's so sad. Our two brothers are working hard in the house Do hard work, if you really think about the two of us, you will definitely come into the house and give us two pieces of chocolate no matter what, but you are lucky, not only did you not give us something to eat, but you blocked the news tightly, hiding I only let Brother Bin eat delicious food alone in the house, this is obviously partial and discriminatory treatment, are you afraid that people will say it?"

Third Aunt Li turned her head and glared at him, then continued to bury her head in cooking, but she said insistently: "You kid is picking on me again, right? Why didn't you say that when Aunt Third favored you? Did you forget? Every year during the Chinese New Year, you eat most of the delicious food I save, and the two debt collectors in my family can only eat some of your leftovers, so why didn't you say I was partial?"

Zhou Zheng, who was dismantled through the diorama, immediately became sluggish: "Oh, well, it's alright if I didn't say it, I was wrong?"

"It's over if you make a mistake? Go out and wait for me. I'll clean you up after cooking."

Zhou Zheng frowned, realizing that he had caused trouble. If he really waited until Third Aunt Li finished cooking to clean himself up in front of Wang Dali and Zheng Bin, would he still have face?

Zheng Bin and Wang Dali were eating snacks and laughing at Zhou Zheng's embarrassing appearance.

Zhou Zheng glared at them angrily, then hooked his fingers at them, telling them to come out after him.

"I can't afford to offend your old man."

Zhou Zheng said this to Aunt Li, and then waddled out of the kitchen.

Zheng Bin and Wang Dali also obediently followed him out of the kitchen.

Uncle Li heard their conversation in the kitchen just now, and when he saw Zhou Zheng and the others coming out, he stared at Zhou Zheng as if he was watching a joke: "You deserve it, don't you feel uncomfortable if you dare to challenge your Aunt Li San? How will your third aunt deal with you when we eat later, don't blame me and your dad for not helping you, you caused trouble yourself, and no one can save you."

Zhou Zheng made a face at Uncle Li: "A good man is a good man when he does things, don't worry, I will never get you involved."

"Stinky boy, you will become poor with me." Uncle Li scolded Zhou Zheng, then bent down and began to sift the sand again.

As soon as he came out of the kitchen, Wang Dali squatted on the ground and began to concentrate on eating snacks. He kept stuffing chocolates and candies into his mouth, as if his stomach was like a noodle pot, with no bottom at all.

Zheng Bin took out the stool he was sitting on from the kitchen, put it in the open space in the yard, and then sat on it leisurely, eating snacks, although he didn't like to eat these snacks from the bottom of his heart. , but he was afraid of hurting Aunt Li's heart, so after leaving the kitchen, he still put snacks into his mouth mechanically like acting.

Aunt Li, who was cooking in the kitchen, poked her head out from time to time to check whether Zhou Zheng and the others were still there, just like watching prisoners.

Zhou Zheng was standing in the middle of the courtyard, looking at Aunt Li, then Uncle Li, and seeing Uncle Li and Aunt Li's posture, they were determined to keep us for dinner, and if things continued like this, they should go home easily. It's impossible, but it's really inconvenient to stay for dinner, what should I do?

Zhou Zheng's brain was running fast. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he came up with a brilliant idea. Since it is not easy to get out, he can only use some means and methods.

He pretended to be nonchalant, walked behind Wang Dali, and kicked him lightly.

Wang Dali was enjoying his snacks when he felt that he was kicked suddenly, so he immediately looked back to find the murderer.
