Siheyuan: Joined the Intelligence Department, my father is a national level

Chapter 395 Abnormality

Along the way, many villagers heard the sound of the car, came out of their homes and gathered around curiously.

However, the middle-aged man appeared in time, stopped them and spoke loudly.

"Don't even look at them, they've already agreed to come to my house!"

There was a hint of pride in his words, as if he had accomplished a great task.

The villagers who were stopped had regretful looks on their faces and started talking about it.

"Hey, Zhang Laoliu got there first again! This car looks good, the person sitting in it must be a rich man."

"That's right. At this time, everyone is busy preparing dinner. Only Zhang Laoliu is waiting at the entrance of the village to catch the big fish."

"Forget it, let's go home and eat. I have some chicken stewing in the pot. Even though it's not as good as the good stuff they might have exchanged for, it's still home-grown, so we can eat it with confidence."

……

Although the discussions were not loud, they were clearly heard by the people in the car.

They looked at each other, and a subtle feeling arose in their hearts - as if they had really become the "fat sheep" of this village, being the focus of everyone's attention.

However, this feeling did not make them feel unhappy, but instead added a bit of fun and anticipation to the journey.

The car slowly drove through the quiet little village, with scattered farmhouses and busy fields on both sides of the road.

Zhang Laoliu's home is located at the very end of the village, far away from the hustle and bustle, and seems particularly peaceful. No wonder he would specially walk to the entrance of the village to greet guests from afar.

"Comrades, welcome, this is my home. Look, the entrance to my house is very spacious, and the car can drive directly in, so there is no need to worry about parking."

Zhang Laoliu greeted them warmly with a simple smile on his face.

As the wheels slowly turned, the group finally stopped in front of a clean and tidy yard.

This yard has been carefully maintained and is surrounded by various flowers and plants, exuding a faint fragrance that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Seeing this, Zhang Laoliu came forward with a smile and even offered to help Bai Ling and Li Xiaoxuan open the car door. His enthusiasm and thoughtfulness made people feel warm.

"Okay, then let's park the car inside. This way it won't affect the traffic in the village."

Bai Ling responded with a smile and motioned Li Youquan to drive the car into the yard.

Li Youquan nodded, calmly withdrew his gaze, and parked the car steadily in the designated location.

The car door opened and a group of five people got out one after another. They looked around and praised the environment of Zhang Laoliu's house.

I saw that the house was three connected tiled houses. Although it was not big, it looked very new. The walls were painted spotlessly white, and the doors and windows were also spotlessly clean, exuding a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

"Is your house newly built? It looks really beautiful and practical!"

Bai Ling couldn't help but express her sincere admiration.

She looked as if she was truly amazed by the situation before her, and Zhang Laoliu didn't even notice the flash of inquiry in her eyes.

"Young comrade, you have really good taste!"

Zhang Laoliu felt very happy when he heard this.

"This house was indeed built last winter. Please come in and have a seat. I see you haven't had dinner yet."

"Speaking of which, we are actually a little hungry."

Li Xiaoxuan has a straightforward personality and walked into Zhang Laoliu's house in a carefree manner.

Although she had just discovered something unusual, she became alert again when she saw that Li Youquan and Bai Ling did not react.

"Do you have anything delicious at home? We can pay for it."

"Oh, you are too polite, little comrade!"

When Zhang Laoliu heard about the money, he immediately became happy, but he pretended to be reserved and waved his hands quickly.

"Let me take you to the kitchen. As long as there are ingredients in the kitchen, I can make delicious dishes for you!"

As he said that, he led the other two men towards the kitchen.

Seeing this, Li Youquan's eyes narrowed slightly and he followed silently.

He wanted to know what secrets were hidden in this seemingly ordinary farm kitchen.

As soon as you enter the kitchen, the rich aroma of food hits your nose.

The kitchen was filled with all kinds of ingredients: fresh cabbage, crispy radishes, plump eggplants...

There was a piece of fat and lean pork on the chopping board, which looked mouth-watering.

What’s even more surprising is that there is a pot of fragrant chicken stewing in the pot!

"This... this is simply the kitchen of a small restaurant!"

Li Youquan was secretly amazed in his heart, and looked at Zhang Laoliu who was leading the way, his eyes became even darker.

"It seems that Zhang Laoliu's family entertains guests quite often!"

He calmly picked up a cabbage and examined it carefully, and found that the cabbage was indeed very fresh, obviously just picked from the field.

"Fellow fellow."

Li Youquan smiled and turned to ask Zhang Laoliu.

"Do you often entertain guests at home? The ingredients in this kitchen are so rich!"

"Haha, not often."

Zhang Laoliu replied with a smile and said he didn't notice anything unusual.

"My home is located in a remote area, so we don't usually have guests. But once we have guests, we will definitely treat them with the best food. Just tell us what you want to eat. Our meals are both affordable and delicious, and you don't even need food coupons!"

After hearing what Zhang Laoliu said, everyone in the group smiled with satisfaction.

It seems that the people in this village are very hospitable!

However, Li Youquan's eyes were always sharp. Amid the laughter of the crowd, he quietly caught a glimpse of Zhang Laoliu's subtle abnormal behavior.

Although his heart was in turmoil, he still chose to remain silent. He sat quietly by the side like a bystander, observing everything with his deep eyes.

At the same time, Bai Ling and Li Xiaoxuan's fatigue seemed to dissipate with the gentle breeze of the evening. They finally put down the burden of the journey and showed long-lost relaxed smiles.

The journey, whether it was climbing over mountains and crossing rivers or braving wind and rain, seemed so tiring. The tranquility and serenity at this moment are undoubtedly the greatest comfort to them.

Li Youquan observed all this quietly, secretly calculating in his mind.

He knew very well that in that era, being able to have a meal without using food coupons but only paying for it was a luxury for most people.

Especially for those who travel on business and rush around, national food coupons are almost an indispensable "pass" to dine in state-owned restaurants.

But the village before him seemed to break this convention, and he couldn't help but feel curious and speculative.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the village has been able to develop so prosperously?
