Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 246 Facing the sea, spring flowers bloom!

When Wu Aiguo heard that Li Xiangdong mentioned Qian Qianqian, he nodded subconsciously and replied, "Section Chief Li! You guessed right, it was indeed for this matter, but I pushed it away!"

Hearing Wu Aiguo's words, Li Xiangdong nodded subconsciously, and said, "Patriotic! Qian Xiangqian is the kind of villain who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals. I guess this incident is enough for him to remember for a lifetime."

When Wu Aiguo heard about Li Xiangdong, he smiled and said to Li Xiangdong: "Section Chief Li! We don't want to talk about Qianqianqian, so hurry up and talk about it. What are your plans after retirement?"

When Li Xiangdong heard Wu Aiguo ask about his plans after retirement, he couldn't help but sighed and said with emotion: "What plans do you have! It's just to take care of your grandson at home, and then go fishing on the river."

Hearing Li Xiangdong's answer, Wu Aiguo imagined Li Xiangdong's life after retirement in his mind, and couldn't help thinking of a poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms Blooming" in his mind!
Facing the Ocean, Spring and Blossom,

Be a happy man from tomorrow on.

Feed the horses, chop wood, and travel the world.

From tomorrow, take care of food and vegetables,

I have a house, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming.

"Section Chief Wu! I heard that you have been exchanging food for supplies during this period of time. I wonder if you still have any food on hand?" Li Huaide immediately thought of Li Xiangdong's job as a post when he heard Li Xiangdong mentioning his life after retirement. He hurriedly asked Li Xiangdong: "Brother! After you retire, who will take over your work arrangement?"

When Li Xiangdong heard Li Huaide's question about taking up the post, he introduced with a smile: "Huide! Our family only has Xiaobin from the old family, who meets the requirements for the post! So let Xiaobin take the post."

When Li Huaide heard Li Xiangdong's introduction, he nodded with a smile, and said, "Brother! I really didn't expect that the little boy back then would now be working. I guess in a year or two, you will be able to be a great-grandfather." gone."

Hearing Li Huaide's congratulations, Li Xiangdong thought about the fact that his eldest grandson already had a partner, and said to Li Huaide in a joking tone: "Xiaobin talked about a partner, and he will get married as soon as he gets to work. You, an uncle, can get ready." Red envelope."

Li Huaide heard Li Xiangdong's joke, and replied with a smile: "Brother! Don't worry, when Xiaobin gets married, I will definitely give them a big red envelope."

"Section Chief Li! Section Chief Wu! Dinner is ready!" Just after Li Huaide's words fell, Zheng Jun happened to run to the door of Li Xiangdong's office and report to the two of them respectfully.

When Wu Aiguo heard that Sha Zhu had prepared dinner, he immediately smiled and said to brothers Li Xiangdong and Li Huaide: "Section Chief Li! Director Li! I'll go ask Director Jiang and Deputy Director Lin. You go to the cafeteria first."

It didn't take long for Wu Aiguo to come to the cafeteria with Jiang Huairen, Lin Jianshe and others. When Jiang Huairen saw the dishes on the table, he suddenly felt his eyes light up, and said to Lin Jianshe with a smile, "Old Lin! I didn't expect that tonight The food will be so rich, we can count on Lao Li's blessing, and finally we can have a good tooth festival."

After hearing Jiang Huairen's words, Lin Jianshe looked at the several dishes placed on the table and replied with approval: "Director! This means that if Patriot has such ability, he can get so much meat. If other people want it, It’s not easy to prepare a tough dish, let alone so many tough dishes.”

Wu Aiguo heard the conversation between Jiang Huairen and Lin Jianshe, and introduced them with a smile: "Director Jiang! Director Lin! Because Master Wang is not available, I specially invited a chef from the rolling mill. He specializes in Tanjia cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, so let’s take a seat quickly and taste Chef He’s cooking.”

When Jiang Huairen heard Wu Aiguo mention Tan's cuisine, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile: "Tan's cuisine was ranked second in the past. I never thought that one day, I would be able to eat dishes made by the descendants of Tan's cuisine."

Everyone was seated quickly, Wu Aiguo waited for everyone to fill up the wine, stood up from the table, and said to everyone present with a smile: "Comrades! Our Section Chief Li and Comrade Li Xiangdong the day after tomorrow! After leaving our big family, I suggest that everyone should toast Comrade Li Xiangdong together for the first glass of wine, and practice for Comrade Li Xiangdong!"

Jiang Huairen, who was sitting next to Li Xiangdong, stood up from his seat when he heard Wu Aiguo's words, and politely said to Li Xiangdong: "Old Li! Time flies so fast, remembering the days when we worked together, it seems like Yesterday, unexpectedly, you are going to retire!"

"Although you are about to leave our big family, this place will always be your second home. I hope you can come back to see everyone when you have time."

Li Xiangdong was very moved when he heard the words of Wu Aiguo and Jiang Huairen. He smiled and touched the wine glass in his hand lightly with the wine glasses in everyone's hands, and said with great emotion: "Director Jiang! Director Lin! Comrade Patriot! Comrades Everyone! First of all, I would like to thank the patriotic comrades for helping me prepare this practice banquet."

"As Director Jiang said, time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, I have been working in our supply and marketing cooperative for ten years. Today I would like to lend you a patriotic wine to thank everyone for your support over the years."

After Li Xiangdong finished speaking passionately, he immediately drank the wine in his glass.

Seeing that Li Xiangdong drank the wine in one gulp, everyone drank the wine in the glass. Wu Aiguo picked up the wine bottle in front of him, first poured Jiang Huairen a glass of wine, and then poured it for Lin Jianshe, Li Xiangdong and others. After drinking a glass of wine, he greeted everyone: "Everyone, eat the food first, and when the stomach is full, we will not return when we are not drunk!"

When everyone started to pick up the chopsticks to eat the dishes, Sha Zhu came out of the back kitchen with a casserole in his hand, and he didn't forget to yell: "The dishes are here! Stewed chicken with mushrooms! Everyone, please use it slowly!"

Wu Aiguo saw Shazhu coming out of the back kitchen with a casserole in his hand, and quickly greeted him, "Brother Zhuzi! Are all the dishes ready? If it's ready, then hurry up and eat together."

Hearing Wu Aiguo's greeting, Shazhu put the casserole in his hand on the table, and said to Wu Aiguo with a smile: "Aiguo! You eat first, and come out after I take off the apron."

Not long after Shazhu changed his clothes, he came out of the back kitchen. Wu Aiguo quickly introduced to everyone: "Dear comrades! Let me introduce you. This is the chef of the rolling mill, Comrade He Yuzhu!"

"Master He lives in the same compound as me. I have been a good buddy since we were young. If you want to hold a banquet in the future, you can ask Master He for help."
