Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 461 - : Delivering Meals
Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Delivering Meals
Di Yelei seemed to be inspecting something, half-squatting on the riverbank, surrounded by a circle of people.
Then, he got up, pointed at the river opposite and along the bank, as if saying something to the people around him. One person next to him said something too, but he quickly shook his head and spoke more.
Due to continuous labor, his clothes were almost completely soaked, clinging to his strong body, and revealing his bundled muscles in clumps.
Scattered light outlined the extreme hardness of his side profile. Falling from the side of his hair, he didn’t know if it was rainwater or sweat, but with a casual swipe, he added countless charms to his masculinity.
Liu Sisi, somewhat dazed, followed her instincts and walked in his direction.
Di Yelei didn’t notice her arrival and suddenly stepped forward, striding in the opposite direction to her. The people next to him immediately followed.
Liu Sisi became anxious and tried to call out, but the noise on the embankment was too loud and too noisy, her call was completely drowned out in the surrounding noise.
She couldn’t help but gradually quickened her pace, weaving through the crowd on the riverbank, causing Old Cheng behind her to call out repeatedly.
“Madam! Be careful! Watch your feet! Be careful of the carry basket near your feet…”
In Liu Sisi’s eyes, there was only the retreating figure, which she pursued with determination.
Her actions naturally disrupted the work of the people on the riverbank and naturally attracted the attention of the people around her.
Perhaps it was the strangeness of the crowd that finally caught the attention of the group ahead, and Di Yelei eventually stopped and looked over, his face immediately brightened up. He said something to the people around him and finally strode towards her direction.
Liu Sisi’s heart relaxed, and she couldn’t help but smile at him!
Noises from the surroundings entered her ears. frёewebηovel.cѳm
It was then that she realized she had run into a muddy area, splashing mud everywhere she went, causing trouble for the people around her. However, seeing her stomach sticking out, everyone unanimously stepped aside and made way for her.
She hurriedly apologized and ran up the embankment.
Di Yelei also hurried over: “Sisi, why are you here? Be careful!”
Liu Sisi’s foot slipped and she couldn’t stop her momentum, sliding far away like a slide, almost falling to the ground. However, she was caught by Di Yelei in time.
“Who let you come? Is the riverbank a place for you in this state? If you fall and something happens to the child, what are you going to do?”
Di Yelei’s face turned pale with anger, yelling at her furiously!
Liu Sisi shrank her neck, she herself was frightened by the just-occurred events, almost breaking out in a cold sweat.
“I didn’t mean to fall…”
“If you didn’t mean to fall and you almost fell, what would have happened if you meant to? Don’t you know your own body? You still have to travel this far in this kind of weather!”
Di Yelei’s anger was still raging as he yelled at her ears!
Liu Sisi couldn’t help but cover her ears and shiver!
“Are you trying to kill me? Are you trying to show off how loud you can yell? My ears are going to go deaf from your yelling!” Liu Sisi also lost her temper!
Old Cheng from the side hurriedly stepped in to mediate: “Old Master! Madam brought you food. It’s still hot, so you should eat it quickly!” As he spoke, he pointed to the carrying pole on his body.
Seeing the pole full of cooked dishes, Di Yelei’s face finally eased a bit.
Looking back at Liu Sisi, seeing her staring at him with her eyes, he raised his eyebrows with a perplexed expression, but didn’t say anything else. He accepted the carrying pole from Old Cheng’s body.
“Go! Call Da Niu and Er Niu for dinner!”
After saying this, Di Yelei casually found an empty spot, uncovered the cotton cloth on top of the carrying pole, and lifted the lid. A strong aroma immediately wafted through the air by the riverside, causing everyone’s saliva to churn uncontrollably.
“It smells so good!”
“These dishes must taste delicious just from the smell.”
“Heavens! I’m drooling.”
“I really want to taste it too…”
Ordinary people could only comment on the food, but a few of the governmental office’s runners who were supervisors came over and asked with a shameless face.
“Deputy Leader Di! What delicious food did your sister-in-law bring you? Let us taste some meat too, to satisfy our cravings and feed the hungry worms in our stomachs!”
The teasing from the few runners made Di Yelei’s facial expression a bit more pleasant.
“You sneaky monkeys, how did you smell it from so far away? There’s not much food, just one piece of meat for each of you.”
While he was talking, he had already taken out the meat from the carry basket, pretending to hand it to the runners.
Liu Sisi quickly and skillfully took the dish, her face full of a shallow smile: “Gentlemen, I’m sorry for not bringing enough food today, there’s only this much meat. I’ll leave it to you, big brothers, to distribute it so that everyone can have a taste.”
The runner beside her happened to be a clever one!
He took the meat dish and shouted to the people on the riverside.
“Great! Sister-in-law is such a kind person! Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a first-class heart! What do you all say, isn’t it true?”
“Yes! Yes! Yes!”
With food to eat, everyone naturally agreed.
“Alright! Let’s distribute the meat! Don’t push, line up!”
The runner shouted, and the crowd on the riverside immediately gathered.
Liu Sisi saw that there was not enough meat to go around with so many people! She promptly came up with a solution.
“Everyone! There isn’t much meat, so if you’re lucky enough to get a share, please express your gratitude! For those who don’t get any, we also have some small steamed buns in this basket. Half a bun per person can be distributed too. I promise, next time I come to the riverside, I’ll bring more delicious food for everyone!”
Her words immediately gained everyone’s approval.
Liu Sisi didn’t mind; she had already considered the large number of people before coming and had prepared extra food.
Da Niu and Er Niu also came over, along with the runners, all wearing hee-hee smiles on their faces.
Di Yelei chose a spot sheltered from the wind and then took out some other food from the carrying pole.
There was rice at the bottom, and two more portions of meat chunks. Di Yelei, fearing that there wouldn’t be enough meat to share, had someone bring another bowl over. The rest was poured directly into the rice bowl, mixed together, and then the meat soup was also poured in. After a hasty blend, he scooped up a bowl for each person and handed it to the people around him.
“Deputy Leader Di! You’re so generous! Nice!”
Everyone praised Di Yelei, and then they each picked a spot to squat down and ate their food with big bites.
After everyone was served, Da Niu and Er Niu each got a large bowl, and only Di Yelei was left scraping the bottom of the pot for quite a while before he managed to scrape out a small half bowl.
