Chapter 670
This meal was eaten both quickly and at length, and everyone's way of eating carried a touch of sloppiness.
For example, Secretary Wang, his belt buckle had been loosened again and again. As a result, Zhang Chen saw it and laughed out loud:
"Old brother, I told you that you didn't have a thorough understanding of how delicious this place is, right? Like me!" He patted his own round, full belly:
"I knew what their food tasted like long ago, so I specifically wore sweatpants today! Look, an elastic waistband!"
Secretary Wang didn't mind, just looked at his pants: "Then does this elastic waistband of yours pinch your flesh now?"
That question... Zhang Chen said coyly: "It pinches a little."
Secretary Wang smiled triumphantly: A greenhorn, and he dares to compare himself to me? Hmph!
As for the leader, he also felt a bit embarrassed.
No other reason, the vegetable basins and soup bowls on the table were just too clean! Having advocated frugality for so many years, his standard for meals wasn't high, but when had he ever eaten so cleanly to this extent!
It really was too delicious!
Lianhua, who was turning over beans, immediately laughed out: "Uncle, you're asking even though you're the one who pays the wages; I got 4,100 yuan this month!"
To be precise, a bunch of elderly people.
"Yes." Song Tan nodded: "Originally I wanted to buy two Border Collies, Tantan said these dogs are smart and could herd cattle when the time comes."
Secretary Wang thought to himself: You underestimate me; in our line of work, memory has to be top-notch!
And at this moment, the leader's eyes became even gentler: "Very good! Very good! I see they are all in very good spirits now."
"That's not the case." Song Youde said truthfully: "Lianhua, your mother-in-law is skillful, so I give her more for the patterns she makes. For others, like Tantan's grandfather, they are all the standard 3,000, a little over 3,000."
He nodded.
A thirty-second video, she insisted on showing every dog, and only then did she send it off with satisfaction.
After eating, everyone sat in the living room blowing the air conditioning. They hadn't digested yet, so no one brought up the matter of a nap. Secretary Wang, however, wandered around and curiously asked Song Youde and Tantan's grandfather:
"As a result, I don't know how it happened, but they were introduced to that retired police dog nursing home in Ningcheng—they have a rule that only allows adopting one. But you tell me, why would we adopt just one dog in such a big place? After much persuasion, seeing those few poor little things, we brought them back."
That's also very good!
Aunt Lianhua was used to it: "It's fine, our family has this one good point, we never waste anything. It's just that I've seen Princess and the others watching for a long time, and they didn't get to eat anything, hahaha!"
If they could have two thousand, it could even be said that their elderly life is not only spiritually rich but also materially rich!
If it weren't for Qiaoqiao still loving every dog equally, Xiaowang would really cry himself to sleep behind the mountain.
Speaking of this, Song Youde just wanted to hold a loudspeaker and show off to the whole world; at this point, the floodgates of his conversation naturally couldn't be closed:
While she was talking, she said "Ouch" and picked up her phone to record a video:
"What kind of work?"
If you're talking about the original treasure of the house, he was still the majestic Xiaowang.
Just say these few at home, whoever is idle, they come over to rub their heads and whine... even a heart of stone couldn't withstand it!
Clearly, they achieved deterrence against strangers.
But at this moment, the leader and Secretary Wang looked at the dogs staring at them with bright eyes and asked curiously: "Are these adopted retired police dogs?"
"Yes!" Song Tan said extremely proudly: "These dogs were adopted for free! But you look, I told them to watch the house and guard the yard, and they stare intently whenever someone comes, not taking their eyes off them for a second!"
Zhu Xin's chatterbox nature didn't come for nothing.
But now, when acting spoiled, he especially loves to hop on three legs, as if that leg were truly lame!
As soon as they entered the door, those eight dogs all stood up, their eyes watching that side vigilantly, their whining voices pressed very low, yet not a single one barked.
Tsk tsk tsk!
But Xiaowang was diligently on duty behind the mountain and never imagined that some dogs were shameless, taking advantage of their proximity to steal the home!
While he was talking, he laughed proudly: "Just now sitting in the wheelchair, Lianhua, your mother-in-law and the others, do you remember?"
"The working hours are okay, now that the days are long, work from morning until ten o'clock, and in the afternoon until three or four o'clock... we are older, our eyesight isn't good, and people get sleepy easily, so we have to go back early when it gets dark."
He looked at the Wu family, his eyes full of approval: "Good! Too good!"
Qin Jiemao laughed: "I don't live far, Tantan's grandfather lives here, but we have to work during the day!"
"We are responsible for weaving straw mats, that work needs to be meticulous, young people can't do it!"
"The eight dogs at home, although they look like they have injuries and illnesses, are really quite majestic..."
No need for you!
"Little Zhu, I didn't get a chance to film for you these past two days while drying soybeans, I'll show you now—Especially Duo Duo, come, walk two steps for the nursing home people to see! Cang'er, Cang'er, don't pretend you can't hear, come over and I'll give you cucumber to eat later—hey, that's right..."
Look at Cang'er again... that dog is cunning; clearly, when it came, it was said its ears were deaf, but in reality, whenever you tap the food bowl, it runs faster than anyone!
Just heard Qin Jiemao shout: "Lianhua, Lianhua, ask your mother-in-law how much salary she got this month?"
Secretary Wang is like a gossip: "In such hot weather..."
These few are just too well-behaved and lovable!
However, in this day and age, there are many gimmicks for selling things; if it weren't the Wu family, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so many people who believe it.
Speaking of straw mats, Secretary Wang knew: "Yes, yes, yes, I bought them! I saw the details page, it was you guys sitting there weaving straw mats."
After thinking about it, he sent another voice message: "Little Zhu, don't forget to show your leader! We didn't treat the dogs we adopted badly at all! Come find me again next time!"
Not only did he eat and buy, he almost got the WeChat of everyone in the house. Qin Jie originally promised to show the person in charge the dogs every few days, but it turned out that her mother often filmed videos!
If it's over three thousand...
The leader also became interested: "Weaving straw mats? How long do you weave a day? Can you steadily earn over two thousand a month?"
Look at these five dogs—Especially Duo Duo's wound on his belly is almost healed, wearing a small sachet around his neck, still so good at acting pitiful.
Song Tan even planned to go adopt a few more later!
Fortunately, there was still a big orange cat and a small orange cat at home, and the two sides' cuteness directions were not the same thing, which barely balanced everyone's sanity.
The leader came from the grassroots; if an elderly person over sixty in the countryside can have a salary of one thousand, that is already better than anything!
But the dogs at home never had leftovers, and they were used to being greedy. The leader was a bit curious:
There's also Yingjun, who is clearly a one-year-old steady elderly dog (for a service dog, it's elderly), the reason for retirement is slight wear on the right leg and old age.
"Do you two live nearby? Why didn't I see you in the afternoon?"
Princess has one eye, white-brown, looking at people with wet eyes... just say, who can resist?
