Hearing Li Xuewu talking to him, Nan Yi walked out with a knife in one hand and meat in the other.

While scraping the pig hair off the skin, he said, "How would I know? I guess he didn't do anything else. Or maybe Liang Ladi's land is too fertile, so any seed can sprout!"

"Hahaha, Old Nan, why don't you marry Liang Ladi? She will definitely give birth to a litter for you and strengthen your Nan family! Your craft will then be passed down!"

"Come on, I'm a grown man, and I'm going to marry a widow with four kids! I'm not sick, you're just asking for trouble!"

"Tsk! You look down on her, but maybe she looks down on you too! Look at that face and that figure. If she didn't tell you, would you be able to tell that she is the mother of four kids?" Seeing Nan Yi's unwilling expression, Li Xuewu continued teasing.

"If it's so good, why don't you come yourself? You can be a father without working!"

"I'm not stupid! I still want to do the baby-giving chores myself!"

Nan Yi warned: "Don't talk nonsense when Ding Qiunan comes later, it's not good to let others misunderstand you!"

"You just don't understand women. If he pampers her, she will easily be regarded as a licker. You will get nothing by licking her."

"What is a dog licker?"

"It's just a dog that licks a woman's butt crack. It comes when you call it and goes away when you dismiss it!"

"Oh, that won't happen! I, Nan Yi, am not that kind of a jerk!"

Nan Yi returned to the kitchen with the scraped meat. Soon, the rhythmic sound of chopping stuffing like horse hooves came from the kitchen. Li Xuewu walked over with a cigarette in his mouth, leaned against the kitchen door and continued to chat with Nan Yi.

Before they knew it, it was getting dark. People who had gotten off work came back one after another. Nan Yi had basically finished preparing the main dish and was just waiting for Liang Ladi and Ding Qiunan to come back.

It was not until it was completely dark that Liang Ladi and Ding Qiunan hurried back.

When they got to the yard, the four children ran up to Liang Ladi excitedly, "Mom, you're back!"

When Ding Qiunan saw that the children were jumping around happily and didn't seem to be sick at all, he knew that he had been fooled: "Master Liang, your children are all fine! Since they are fine, I will go back first."

"Hey, don't, don't, Doctor Ding. Now that you're here, why don't you stay for a meal before leaving?" Liang Ladi quickly grabbed Ding Qiunan's hand. You're the one who's joking. The kids at home are counting on you to eat meat. How can I let you run away?

She coaxed and dragged Ding Qiunan into Nan Yi's house. When she saw the dishes on the table, Ding Qiunan's eyes were attracted to them. Only then did Liang Ladi let go of her hand, thinking, "I guess you won't leave even if I ask you to leave now!"

"Master Nan, I have invited people for you!"

Nan Yi rubbed his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Liang. I prepared a separate portion for the children. You can bring it to them! Doctor Ding, I'm sorry. It was me who asked Master Liang to invite you here. I just wanted to treat you to a meal."

Liang Ladi ignored the two people's greetings and walked into the kitchen excitedly to serve the dishes. There were a few four-happiness meatballs and a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms on the stove. The only thing missing was fish, but Liang Ladi was satisfied, as it was enough for the children to eat for two days.

She took the two pots of food back to her home, set aside half for tomorrow's meal, and placed the rest in front of the four children: "Da Mao, take care of your brothers and sisters while they eat. Mom has something else to do over there."

Da Mao nodded obediently. The children's attention had already been drawn to the food on the table, and they just wanted to eat it as soon as possible.

As soon as Liang Ladi left, he couldn't wait to start eating.

Here, Ding Qiunan couldn't sit or walk, so he just stood there.

Nan Yi saw this and quickly called out, "Doctor Ding, please take a seat. Liang Ladi will be back soon. This is my good friend Li Xuewu from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

Li Xuewu also greeted Ding Qiunan with a smile.

Ding Qiunan also had an impression of Li Xuewu. It was him who stood at the entrance of the cafeteria like a telephone pole at noon.

After sitting down, without waiting for Liang Ladi to come back, Nan Yi put a Four-happiness Meatball into Ding Qiunan's bowl and said, "Try this. Four-happiness Meatball, specially made for you. I guarantee it will be delicious. Try it quickly. It won't taste right if it gets cold."

Under Nan Yi's eager eyes, Ding Qiunan took a small bite and found it delicious. The meat was tender, fresh and fragrant, but not greasy. He couldn't help but take another bite: "Master Nan, you are really good at cooking. It's really delicious!"

Hearing the goddess' praise, Nan Yi's face was almost as bright as a chrysanthemum: "I'm glad you like it. I'll make it for you often in the future. Try this, a Northeastern dish, chicken stewed with mushrooms! And this, braised carp!"

Nan Yi was so attentive that he completely ignored everyone else and didn't even notice when Liang Ladi came back.

Li Xuewu looked at Nan Yi's expression and said to himself, "You still say you are not a bootlicker!"

It would be superfluous for him to speak now, so he simply poured a glass for himself and Liang Ladi: "Hello, Master Liang, we have met before, now let's formally introduce ourselves. My name is Li Xuewu, I work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, I'm a welder!"

"Really? That's such a coincidence, we are in the same line of work! I'm also a welder!" Liang Ladi raised her wine glass and clinked it with Li Xuewu.

"What a coincidence! How come you are a welder? This job is very harmful to the skin!"

Liang Ladi sighed: "Alas, I have no choice. The child's father was a welder before, and I took over his shift. There is no other job to switch to, so I can only do this! But I'm used to it!"

"Yes, it's not easy to change jobs now. How many years have you been in the factory? What level are you now?"

"I've been in charge for four years, right? I just got promoted to level four!"

"What a heroine!" Li Xuewu gave her a thumbs up. It is true that comparing people will lead to death, and comparing goods will lead to throwing them away. The other woman gets promoted one level every year, while he, a man, is still a third-level worker after four years.

"What about you? What level are you now?" Liang Ladi asked.

Li Xuewu said with a bashful look on his face: "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's embarrassing to talk about it! Let's drink some wine!"

“Aren’t the welders at your head factory very good? I heard that there is a Master Chen Shouzheng who is already an eighth-level worker. You can beg him and learn from him. You will definitely be promoted soon!” Liang Ladi knew that Li Xuewu must be embarrassed to say it because of his low level of work, so she began to persuade him.

"Puff!" Li Xuewu spat out a mouthful of wine, which sprayed directly onto Liang Ladi's clothes on her chest.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Li Xuewu quickly reached out to wipe it, but when he touched it, he felt something was wrong and quickly withdrew his hand, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"Hahaha!"

At this time, Nan Yi beside him laughed out loud: "Master Liang, you don't know, Chen Shouzheng is his master, and he is his disciple!"

"How shameful! Lao Nan, please stop talking or I'll leave!" Li Xuewu tried his best to hide his embarrassment.

Liang Ladi now understood why Li Xuewu was angry. She had such a good master, but her work level was so low, and she even exposed his scars. Now she felt a little embarrassed and stood up: "I'll go change my clothes first."

When she returned home, the four children had already finished their meal and were leaning on stools stroking their bellies. Liang Ladi looked into the cupboard again and found that the little food that had to be put away had also been eaten by the children.

Looking at their expressions, I felt both angry and amused: "Hurry up and get up and move around, don't let the food accumulate."

"Mom gives you some candy. It's so sweet!" Xiu'er handed Liang Ladi a piece of candy.

"Where did you get the candy?"

"It was given to us by Uncle Li next door. We answered his questions and it was a reward to us!" Xiu'er looked proud.

"What did you ask?"

The four children asked one after another about the most basic issues, so Liang Ladi was relieved: "Anything else? Mom will put it away for you. Eat one piece a day!"

Liang Ladi quickly collected all the candies from the children and put them in a place where they couldn't reach them, otherwise they would be found and eaten quickly.

After changing clothes and coming back here, Li Xuewu had recovered. Liang Ladi sat down and picked up the cup: "Thank you, the children haven't had candy for a long time!"

"Don't be polite. I have a connection with these children. Your daughter's name is Xiu'er, and my sister's name is also Xiu'er. Don't you think it's fate?"

"Really? How old is your sister?"

"I'm 18 years old and still in technical secondary school. I'll graduate in another year!"

"That's great! You'll be a cadre after graduation!" Now it was Liang Ladi's turn to be envious.
