Lin Zhengxiong was panicking because he was worried that this guy would carry the coffin.

"I'm telling you, you're still young, that shameless old man Lin Dejiang, wouldn't ask you to do the big helper, would he? Carrying a coffin is a job you shouldn't do. You've never done it before, and you don't know the tricks. If you're not careful, you'll get hurt."

Big helpers" in rural funerals refer to people who do the hard work of carrying coffins.

Small helpers are those who do miscellaneous work, such as kitchen and logistics.

"I didn't help. Uncle Dejiang just asked me to cook for his family. I'm in the kitchen and I won't be carrying the coffin."

"That's good."

Lin Zhengxiong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Lin Dong didn't carry the coffin, and then he quickly reacted.

"Wait, cooking? Are you kidding me, or is that old man Lin Dejiang crazy? How dare he do that? You've never cooked before, and you haven't cooked a big banquet in so many years, how can you do this?"

"Isn't he afraid that you will mess up, and then the guests will scold him, or his old man will jump out of his coffin and curse you?"

"Hey, Dad, what are you talking about? Your son, am I such an unreliable person? Let alone being the chef in the village, even if your son is the chef in a big hotel, people will give him a thumbs up."

Although cooking in a big hotel is different from cooking in the countryside, this does not prevent Lin Dong from bragging.

"Bah, you are too lazy to cook at home, and you want to be the chef in the village. How can people recognize you? You must be bragging to me."

"There are guests in the store. I won't talk to you anymore. Your mother, Xiaoxi and I will come back for dinner tomorrow. Wait for me then. We will sit at the same table with you."

"By the way, we will pay the gift money ourselves when the time comes. You don’t have much money on you, so you don’t have to pay."

"All right.

Knowing his father's personality, Lin Dong didn't force an explanation. Just wait for them to come back and see for themselves.

Lin Dong smiled and said okay.

Just after hanging up the phone, another call came in.

It was from Gao Wu

, a college classmate. Lin Dong studied in the city, so many of his classmates were from the city. They kept in touch and occasionally went to the barbecue stall to eat skewers.

"Dongzi, what have you been busy with recently?"

Gao Wu has a carefree personality, but he is popular and knows how to deal with people, otherwise he would not have been the class monitor for several years.

"Ah, I'm back home, cooking in the village."

"Shit, are you kidding me? Don't think I'm not from the countryside and don't know the ins and outs of this. Is this something a college graduate can do?"

Gao Wu didn't believe it at all.

"In the countryside, the chefs are those who have been cooking for many years and are recognized by the neighbors. Even if you dare to do it, you have to be trusted by others. You are kidding me, right? Are you free tonight? Come out and eat skewers! I have something to tell you.

Lin Dong:"I really don't have time. I am really in my hometown, cooking for the feast."

Gao Wu sneered:"I don't believe you."

Lin Dong:"......"

"Just tell me what's going on, okay?"

Gao Wu frowned and said,"My sister has graduated from high school, and the college entrance examination results are out recently. She was admitted to university. My family is thinking of having a half-graduation banquet, so I wanted to tell you that you can come to my house to cook dinner."

"Oh, no problem, I will definitely go when the time comes."

Gao Wu's family also moved from the countryside to the city, but his grandfather seems to still be in the village.

Lin Dong estimated that his family's graduation banquet would most likely be held in the village.

After all, the gifts that the Gao family had given in the village for so many years must be returned to the village to be held.

"Are you really having a big feast in the village?"

Gao Wu still found it a little unbelievable, but based on his understanding of this guy, he thought it might be true.

"If you don't believe me, you can come to my hometown and I'll cook a feast for you."

"Keep pretending, just wait and see if I, your grandfather, will expose you. Tomorrow I will bring people to your house to kill you, so remember to pick me up then."

"Come on, come on. By the way, if you want to come to eat the barbecue, remember to bring some money, just a hundred yuan will do."

"Shit, you’ve become a chef now, and you still want me to give you a gift?"

"Please, this is someone's funeral, you don't want anyone to know, you are here to eat and drink for free, right?"

Gao Wu:"Okay, you are so cruel, see you tomorrow, I'm hanging up."

""

Lin Dong and Gao Wu ended the call and smiled.

When he was in college, his father passed away, and Gao Wu also asked for leave to come back with him for a few days.

Before that, Lin Dong also brought Gao Wu to his hometown to catch fish and shrimp during the winter and summer vacations, and Lin Dong also went to his home.

The two knew each other very well.

""Dongzi, who called you?"

Aunt Juhua asked with a smile as she prepared to cook for Lin Dong.

"My college classmate didn't believe me when I told him I was having a big feast in the countryside."

"Hey, you said you, a freshly graduated college student, went back to the countryside to cook for a big banquet. If I hadn't seen it and tasted it, I wouldn't believe it. Aunt

Juhua's words made Lin Dong laugh.

"Hey, aunt, I'll take that as a compliment."

"He is definitely praising you. Look, how many people in the country can be the chef and cook a big banquet at your age?"

"Not to mention your craftsmanship, just talking about this matter, even if it is spread across the whole country, there are definitely only a few who can be counted on one hand, each one is top-notch!"

"It's a pity that I don't have a daughter, otherwise I would definitely introduce her to you."

Aunt Juhua said tenderly.

Lin Dong:"....."
