Return to the era: starting from the state-owned hotel

Chapter 226 The County Magistrate’s Plan

Liya felt even more unbalanced when she saw her younger brother, whom she had never dealt with very well, put on a warm face when facing Li Ran and Su Qingfeng.

But she didn't dare to act like a monster, which made her feel even more unhappy.

There was a lump of breath in her chest, almost suffocating herself to death.

Xu Zheng finally got along with Liya for a while, and he immediately realized that Liya was having trouble with him and was sulking.

He experienced his second marriage before suddenly having a feeling.

In a sense, marriage is a magic mirror for both men and women.

Before marriage, in Xu Zheng's opinion, Liya was lively, cute, naive and kind-hearted, but after marriage, she unknowingly turned into what she is now.

Xu Zheng was a little strange. He didn't know which side was true and which side was false.

Especially when thinking about the mess at home, even a good-tempered Xu Zheng felt a little tired.

Seeing Liya's forbearing look, he couldn't help but say, "Xiaoya, today is a good day for your sister. You have to smile. What's the matter? Let's talk about it when we go home?"

Liya glanced at Xu Zheng and said angrily, "Who is your wife? Who are you talking to?"

As soon as she said this, Liya regretted it.

What he said was a little too hurtful.

Thinking of the estrangement between husband and wife these days, and the fact that she didn't think twice when she said this, Liya's face turned slightly pale.

Sure enough, Xu Zheng's face turned cold little by little.

In the end, there was just a faint smile on his face.

Unfortunately, this smile was not directed at Liya, but a polite smile because of today's special day.

Xu Zheng is also a human being.

When he went out, his wife didn't care about him, but ended up putting his face on the ground and trampling on it again and again.

Not to mention that when taking care of family relations, there was also a tense situation with the Three Treasures of Fortune, Lushou and Shou.

Xu Zheng was really heartbroken at this moment.

He turned his head and started chatting with Su Qingfeng.

As the new son-in-law, Su Qingfeng came to the door and seemed to be sitting in a reserved seat. In fact, facing the Li family, he could be said to have eyes and ears in all directions.

Naturally, I also heard about the private conflicts between Liya and Xu Zheng.

It's just that he didn't say anything. When Liya said "Who is Xu Zheng's wife?", he made a note for Liya in the little notebook in his heart.

He is so small-minded!
Because the Li family was divided into a small courtyard and he was a cadre, the house was quite spacious, and there was even room for a place to receive guests.

For the people who live in Tongzilou, this is simply unimaginable.

Su Qingfeng sat on the stool, her back straight and her expression natural, but her back still felt a little sweaty.

Anyone who is stared at by two brothers-in-law, an elder brother-in-law, and a father-in-law will probably sweat all over his body...

Li Jing, in particular, seemed to deliberately want to see Su Qingfeng's jokes. He hid behind Li Ruiguang, grinning and making faces, as if he wanted to make Su Qingfeng laugh and make him appear in front of Li Ruiguang. Embarrassed.

Su Qingfeng looked away calmly.

childish.

But Li Ruiguang, as if he had a pair of eyes behind his back, slapped Li Jing's head accurately.

The crisp voice suddenly sounded in the living room, and even Xu Zheng couldn't help but smile in his eyes.

This brother-in-law of the Li family is indeed a living treasure. He is quite rare when he occasionally makes people laugh.

Even though Li's father and Li's mother said they disliked him, in fact they still treated him and the three girls at home with a bowl of water.

Su Qingfeng noticed that besides Xu Zheng, there was another man.

Compared with Xu Zheng's gentleness and elegance, this man has dark and rough skin and ordinary facial features, but he has an outstanding spirit.

I saw him putting his hands on his knees, his back as straight as a green pine, and his tiger eyes, which were full of energy. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person.

Su Qingfeng took one look at the military uniform on his body and suddenly understood.

He smiled and nodded, "Brother-in-law."

When Dai Yao heard this title, he raised his eyebrows slightly. Seeing that Li Ruiguang didn't object, he became curious about Su Qingfeng.

Now that the engagement has not yet been finalized, Li Ruiguang acquiesces in calling Su Qingfeng that name. Obviously, he is extremely satisfied with this son-in-law.

Dai Yao is the head of the Northern Border Guard, who has been guarding the border for many years.

Because of the harsh environment where he was stationed, although he had sufficient qualifications and was qualified to join the army, he still let his wife take the children and stay in Harbin.

Today was just a coincidence. Unexpectedly, Su Qingfeng came to the door, and Li Jing and Dai Yao actually chose to go home at this time.

He was still relatively unfamiliar with Su Qingfeng.

As the eldest brother-in-law, he thought about it and spoke first:
"Sister, what does brother-in-law do?"

Looking at Su Qingfeng's pretty face, he definitely doesn't look like someone who works hard in the countryside. However, he is just an ordinary worker and can't even get into the Li family, let alone Li Ruiguang, a difficult father-in-law. Su Qingfeng still looked so satisfied.

You know, when Dai Yao married his wife, he was often made things difficult by his father-in-law.

At that time, he was young and had not experienced big storms. Dai Yao still remembers the questioning he faced his father-in-law at that time. To be precise... it should be a cross-examination. He almost couldn't hold back his tears at that time.

Too scary!

But Su Qingfeng... seemed to have no such concerns at all.

Why?

Dai Yao's face remained stern, but his heart was already a little sour.

It was the wrong payment after all...

Why?

Li Ruiguang dared to show a cold face to Su Qingfeng, so he turned around and Su Qingfeng wrote a few letters and sent them to Beijing. He was afraid that as soon as the letters arrived, Li Ruiguang would get a call from him.

Li Ruiguang couldn't express his pain.

Not to mention, this son-in-law's third uncle is not a simple role.

Even Li Ruiguang felt that Su Siwei was not simple.

What ordinary country man can save so much money for his son?

So when he heard that Su Qingfeng's job was actually a cook, Dai Yao was surprised at first, and then quickly realized that Su Qingfeng's so-called "cook" was probably not as simple as it sounded on the surface.

Seeing Lu Yao frowning and thinking, Su Sanyang was dozing off to the side.

He was the most impatient with this kind of thing.

Anyway, he is here to take charge today.

In a certain sense, there is no difference between him and Mrs. Cui from Deputy Secretary Han's family.

According to Su Qingfeng's words, he is a proper tool man.Not to mention, the few words this kid occasionally pops up are quite interesting.

Li Ruiguang said calmly: "Xiao Su has been promoted and has become the chef of Taihe Hotel in Taihe County."

Hey!
Hearing the news, not to mention Dai Yao, even Xu Zheng was a little surprised.

Dai Yao was surprised, just because the hotel was a place used to receive foreign guests and big leaders.

Because Xu Zheng is the director of a large state-owned factory, he has a better understanding of the news in the province.

I only heard him say there: "This Taihe Hotel is amazing. I heard that it was newly built recently. It is one of the plans of the county magistrate Yu Xianghua to pave the way for overseas sales."

Li Ruiguang nodded slightly, obviously having heard similar news: "Yu Xianghua has a strong foundation. I heard that he is planning to start working on CNC machine tools. Anyone who has been in a factory or on an assembly line knows how powerful machine tools are. important."

"In the past two years, I heard that foreign CNC machine tools have developed very fast, but in our country... well, forget it. Yu Xianghua is also an ambitious person, but I don't know if this thing can be used He can’t figure it out.”

"If the research is done and it can be exported, I'm afraid Xiao Su's hands will be broken and he won't be able to entertain so many guests."

At the end of the day, Li Ruiguang might have gotten used to being a leader, so he gave Su Qingfeng another piece of cake.

Before Su Qingfeng could react, he heard Li's mother's angry voice on the other side: "What day is it today, and you are still talking about this kind of thing? It's time to eat!"

Li Ruiguang always had a cold face when facing others, but he couldn't be tough in front of his wife.

Even though he knew his wife couldn't see his expression, he still subconsciously put on a smile and said, "Here he comes!"

When Li Jing saw this, he felt disgusted and curled his lips at Su Qingfeng, "You look at my dad like that!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, and a big palm like a cattail leaf fan was slapped directly on the back of Li Jing's head.

While Li Jing was in pain, he subconsciously turned his head to look.

Then he saw Li Ruiguang's expressionless face.

The skin on Li Jing's back suddenly tightened, and he smiled, "Dad..."

"Stay here tonight, let's have a nice chat with our father and son."

Su Qingfeng laughed at this scene and finally understood why Li Jing was so skinny.

I beat him from childhood to adulthood!

Su Qingfeng glanced at the dining table.

Huh.

The food is solid, with eight bowls of dishes, including meat and vegetables. Most of the meat dishes are heavy dishes.

Just like that, Li's mother said with some embarrassment, "Xiao Su, you can eat whatever you like. I don't know if you like it or not, so I just made some. But my cooking skills are definitely not as good as yours."

This is also called casual?
Su Qingfeng knew that Li's mother was being polite.

He was also sensible, took a sharp breath, and exclaimed, "It smells so good! You don't have to eat it to know that this food must taste good. If you don't know how to cook, how can you feed all the children in your family to be so smart?" .”

Liya was about to come over when she heard this and rolled her eyes silently.

Su Qingfeng is cunning.

When it comes to flattering people, most people are really not as generous as him.

But don't say it yet, Li's mother will take advantage of him.

She has lived to this age, has no shortage of money, no shortage of houses, and is respected by others. She no longer cares about ordinary flattery.

The only thing that makes her happy is to praise her children for their potential.

It can be said that Su Qingfeng's words scratched Li's mother's itch.

The two families sat together lively and had no habit of eating or sleeping. They ate and talked at the same time.

Su Qingfeng sometimes subconsciously picks up food for Li Ran, and then when he raises his head, he sees Li's mother and Sister Li, looking like people who have been there before.

Su Qingfeng:...

He turned his head to look at Li Ran, only to find that she was not as shy or blushing as he expected. Instead, she lowered her head and chewed the food. Then halfway through eating, she suddenly raised her head, eyes wide open, a little suspicious, " Mom, today’s dish...did you cook it?"

Li Ran said it more tactfully.

Li Jing, the second in command, said loudly, "That's right, Mom, why are your cooking usually not so delicious? If I had done this earlier, I would have saved less trips to state-owned restaurants and saved a lot of money in tickets!"

Li's mother subconsciously ignored her precious daughter, looked at Li Jing, and began to grind her teeth.

This pervert!

I can't help but expose her!

Today’s dish was made with the help of the aunt next door.

Because today was a good day, Li's mother didn't dare to show her craftsmanship to others.

So I had to let the aunt next door take over.

But...it was exposed by this traitor in just a few words.

When Li Jing received the looks from his mother and father, his back felt slightly cold, and he suddenly realized that things were not that simple.

I'm afraid tonight, it's not just my father's bamboo whip stir-fried meat...

At the dinner table, everyone was asking about things after marriage.

After inquiring, Li's mother felt more at ease.

She and Li Ruiguang looked at each other and saw the same statement in each other's eyes. Then Li's mother slowly spoke:
"Our family is not a family that sells its daughters. Although these gifts were not discussed before, after I saw them, I felt that they were already very suitable. Li Jing's father and I have our own plans for the future. No grown man can rely on his sisters. The principle of eating with dowry.”

"So you will all take these betrothal gifts back as gifts for your new home. As for the Li family's dowry, in addition to the money notes agreed on at the dinner table, there is also a sewing machine, a watch, and a set of rosewood furniture. , which includes things like desks and wardrobes.”

When Li's mother said this, she paused and smiled, "This is also our Li family. Every daughter's dowry before getting married is exactly the same, nothing more, nothing less."

As soon as these words came out, even Liya, who had always liked to be sour and jealous, had no words to refute.

Because this has always been the case at home.

Rosewood furniture...

When Su Qingfeng heard this, he began to wonder if the Li family had any secrets.

Rosewood is considered a precious mahogany wood. If you want to make it into a complete set of furniture, it may not be particularly precious in this era.

But if you want to put together three sets, it is not easy.

not to mention……

The so-called not precious is only relative.

I have never seen a country girl. If she can bring a wardrobe as a dowry when she gets married, she will be able to speak more forcefully to her husband's family.

Su Qingfeng saw Li's mother looking directly at him after saying this, as if she wanted to see through her face, or...waiting for a promise.

Su Qingfeng did not hesitate, opened his mouth and said cautiously: "..."
