Chapter 467 Family Banquet
"Hello, uncle and aunt!"
"Hey, okay... Why are you so polite? It's so weird to buy so many things!"
Yu Xiuli had been waiting outside the house for a long time. She was very satisfied with the neighbors' anxiety. The aunt who had been gossiping had already moved away. She took the things, pulled Gong Xue into the house, and said with a smile: "This is your first time here. Right?" "I came here once before, helping Xiao Chen move things with Zhang Jinling and others."
"Oh, speaking of which, we met once before, at the book market, right?" "Yes!"
"Let me tell you, when I saw you I felt like I was in love with you."
Yu Xiuli complained to Chen Jianjun about how Gong Xue was doing, but she didn't show any signs of it at the moment, she was extremely affectionate.
.......
Almost all the dishes in the room were put on the table. There were four people, and the table was full of fish and meat. Yu Xiuli smiled and said: "You guys sit down, there is only one last dish left, it will be ready soon!" "Let me help you." !」
"It's okay, it's okay, just sit down!"
"It's okay, you can try my craftsmanship."
Gong Xue rushed to work, started cooking quickly, and looked for the sugar bowl as usual. She suddenly reacted and her heart beat secretly. Not long after, a dish came out. Yu Xiuli looked at her operation and knew that she often cooks, so her skills may be pretty good. .Finally the four of them sat down. Chen Jianjun didn’t drink either. He just had tea. As the head of the family, he said a few words first.
Follow and start eating.
Gong Xue only picked up the food in front of her and put a small mouthful into her mouth. She couldn't even see the movement of chewing. Yu Xiuli couldn't help but sigh, she is indeed a southern girl, like the daughter of the old Huang family, she can make an elbow in one meal. "Little Gong , does it still taste good?”
"Well, auntie's craftsmanship is really good!" "How do you compare with your mother?"
"My mother is very good at cooking Shanghainese food. They like sweeter food over there. It doesn't matter if you cook northern food. I've been in the north for a long time and I like both sweet and salty food." "That's good, I'm really scared. You can’t get used to it!”
Chen Jianjun kicked her under the table, what are you doing? Yu Xiuli rolled her eyes at him, meaning, how can we understand each other without asking more questions? We have only met a few times?
But she knew the rules and praised her parents without hesitation: "When you went abroad a while ago, I specially asked your parents to stay one more day, and we had a good chat. Your parents are both educated people, knowledgeable, reasonable, and... We are much better. Although we are in Xinhua Bookstore, we are not intellectuals. You are from a scholarly family. Look at your temperament, you are a little genius who graduated from middle school."
"Don't say that, I also graduated from middle school." "I heard that you went to Jiangxi to join the queue?" "Yeah!"
"The conditions are very difficult there, right?"
Gong Xue glanced at Chen Qi, Chen Qi smiled, and she told the truth that back then, she joined the farming team and became the leader of the brigade's art group because she could dance. She also injured her foot and almost became disabled. She even wanted to go back to the city several times. I went back and later joined the army as an art soldier. I followed the drills and walked dozens of kilometers a day. My feet were covered in blisters and I didn't dare to scream.
"Alas, he is also a poor child!"
Yu Xiuli sighed as she listened. She learned about Gong Xue's experience from her parents, but hearing it with her own ears was a different experience.
Chen Jianjun focused on practical issues and said, "Xiaoqi, what did your leader say?"
"They all know it, and they are all pressing for it." "The leader is still pressing for this?"
"Old comrades have been young for a long time!"
"In that case, let's go to Shanghai during May Day and discuss the details." "I'm going to Hong Kong soon. I'll go there from Hong Kong!"
Gong Xue lowered her head and her face was so red that she listened to what they said. Yu Xiuli continued to observe, and she was indeed soft-tempered and should be able to do a good job in providing logistical support for her son. When she considered the problem, of course she started with Chen Qi's From a different perspective, I really hope to have a sensible woman who can run a household and take good care of her son.
She is indeed a bit older, but how can one be 100% perfect? Moreover, she feels that the literary and art world is chaotic, and finding a young girl might lead to something bad, while an older one can be determined. Different identities have different starting points. When she talked with the other person's parents, the other person only felt that they were a bit high-spirited, so Yu Xiuli would naturally be more assertive.
While we were chatting, there was a sudden buzzing sound outside, followed by a bang, as if a bicycle had hit the ground.
Then the door was knocked open, and Comrade Huang Zhanying, who had not been seen for a long time, ran in in a hurry: "Well, Chen Qi, you betrayed our revolutionary friendship! Why didn't you inform me of such a big thing?" "Comrade Zhanying, I was afraid. Delaying your great revolutionary cause, serving the people is more important!"
Chen Qi smiled and introduced: "This is my half-brother, the promoter of Qianmen Big Bowl Tea, my former direct boss, and the current general manager of Jinghua Shopping Mall!" Yes, Huang Zhanying's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he has already A Jinghua shopping mall opened on the street east of Jianlou.
"Comrade Gong Xue, what do you think you like about him?"
Huang Zhanying didn't know why he was unfamiliar, so he held his hand and said, "He's a bad boy. Today I'll give him face. Let's talk slowly when we have time in the future. If he wants to bully you, you come to me and I'll beat him." It’s still no problem!” “Xiao Chen won’t bully me!”
Gong Xue pursed her lips happily.
"Women who fall in love, I won't find any good things about getting married to my virginity!" "Zhan Ying, don't make this more trouble, just eat a couple of dumplings and leave!"
Yu Xiuli brought her a plate of dumplings. Huang Zhanying went down in the blink of an eye, half a plateful of dumplings, and patted his belly: "I'm leaving. You have to tell me if you have anything to do in the future. Even if you fly higher and higher, you can't forget your original revolutionary intention." "Okay, okay, I'll remember it!"
"You have to promise Chairman Mao!" "I promise Chairman Mao!"
Huang Zhanying left. Gong Xue had never seen anyone with this style of painting, and she only found it interesting. When she came, she livened up the atmosphere a lot, and Gong Xue slowly started to joke a bit. Overall, Chen Jianjun didn't have any objections. , Yu Xiuli is also satisfied, she can handle both the inside and the outside, both in the hall and in the kitchen.
The meal lasted until the afternoon.
The two of them sneaked out like thieves again. Yu Xiuli gave her a gauze scarf, and Gong Xue covered her face before returning to Lechunfang. "Huh!"
"I'm so nervous!"
When Gong Xue entered the room, she drank water continuously and exhaled: "I don't even dare to drink water." "Are you full?" Chen Qi said with a smile.
"How much can I eat when I'm full? Your parents are very good people. Your father doesn't talk much, but I can see that he cares about other people's feelings. Your mother is very enthusiastic and the food is delicious.
"
"Isn't that too fake? You don't feel my mother's behavior?"
"Then what's the matter? It's okay with me, I understand it very well, and your mother is really nice and not excessive."
Gong Xue seemed to have put down a big stone, and her whole mental state changed. She said: "Cao Chou, when will you go to Hong Kong?" "In three to five days!"
"I also want to go with you, but I know I have to stay here, and I also know why the leader is urging you..."
She was not stupid, she had feelings, but she didn't mind and said with a smile: "When will the car be delivered? It would be great if you could take a look at the car before leaving. What car do you want to buy in Hong Kong? A Mercedes-Benz?"
?" "Pull it down, the president of Xinhua Branch in Hong Kong is just Ping Zhi, how can I be an equal? I'll buy a Japanese or American car."
Chen Qi said for a while.
This year, 1983, in the summer, the branch director was changed. The leader named Xu took office! He was the one who later defected.
