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

Who will call at this time?

Li Ruiguang and Lou Fang looked at each other, and both saw a hint of confusion in their eyes.

In the end, Li Ruiguang took the first step, came to the phone, and answered the phone.

"Who...Xiaoran...is celebrating the New Year...isn't this bad..."

Seeing the hesitation on Li Ruiguang's face, Lou Fang became more and more curious about what this girl said that made Lao Li so confused.

His face was obviously full of emotion, but he was still hesitant, and he didn't know what he was hesitating about.

Finally, Li Ruiguang seemed to be convinced and nodded, "Okay, okay, don't worry. I will go and talk to your mother. Don't come to pick us up. We will come back by ourselves when the time comes. You Just stay at home with peace of mind. It's snowy and the roads are slippery. If you fall down, it will be over."

Lou Fang was speechless.

bah bah bah!

What are you talking about!

Just pick something that doesn't sound good.

When she hung up the phone, she saw that Li Ruiguang was beaming with joy, and even the previous feeling of desolation disappeared because of this phone call.

Lou Fang couldn't help but say, "Did you find money while walking on the road?"

Li Ruiguang glanced at her and said with some pride, "If I tell you this news, you will definitely be happier than finding money. You are no better than me!"

Yo.

Lou Fang turned around, drank all the paste in the bowl, and then wiped his mouth, "Then what news do you want to tell me?"

"My daughter asked us to go to the countryside to celebrate the New Year! She told me that in the countryside, they have made plans. The place they live in is the house they just built. It is clean and bright."

Li Ruiguang is usually stern, but after making this call, the wrinkles between his eyebrows couldn't help but stretch out, which seemed to dilute his serious temperament.

Lou Fang heard this and couldn't help but think more.

Will Su Qingfeng... be willing for us to go?

Li Ruiguang and his old wife have been together for so many years, how could he not know what she was thinking.

He patted Lou Fang on the shoulder and said meaningfully:

"The people over there are much more open-minded than we are here."

Even Li Ruiguang had to admit that the atmosphere in his home was not necessarily as harmonious as that of his in-laws.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the second daughter Liya, she has a competitive character.

Obviously this kind of personality was not so obvious when he was a child, but since he married Xu Zheng and became a stepmother, his personality has become more and more weird.

Occasionally when I go home, I like to quarrel with my sisters. During the time between Su Qingfeng and Li Ran, Liya was very angry. In private, she was even more arrogant. Li Ruiguang listened to it and found it too unpleasant. After a while and warning the second daughter, Liya restrained herself a little.

Thinking of this, Li Ruiguang couldn't help but sigh.

As the children grow older, it’s time for them to make their own way.

Of course, in addition to wanting to see their daughter, Li Ruiguang and Lou Fang did not favor one another and forgot about their son who was still staying in Sujiacun.

Thinking of this, Lou Fang also showed a happy expression on his face.

"The last time we saw Xiaojing was when Xiaoran got married. This time we go to the countryside for the New Year, we can also take this opportunity to take a good look at Xiaojing."

After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh, "In the final analysis, our daughter is considerate. She knew that we were thinking about her, so she came up with this way to celebrate the New Year. It's not like that brat who ran back to the countryside with the rabbit. It seems like there is no news at all in the woods, and I don’t remember to write letters..."

Speaking of children, how could Lou Fang still have the attitude of a leader? She was so long-winded and nagging that she looked like an ordinary housewife.

Li Ruiguang listened like this without showing any sign of impatience, and even occasionally chimed in a few times, which made Lou Fang even more excited. In the end, the two of them sat on stools, chatting over pickles and glutinous rice for two hours. .

When the two of them were lying on the bed, both bleary-eyed, Lou Fang suddenly thought of a question, "Lao Li, if we go to the countryside to celebrate the New Year, what should the second and eldest children do?"

Li Ruiguang thought about it carefully and found that he couldn't figure it out. He simply closed his eyes. At the same time, he patted his old wife on the shoulder and gave a vague comfort, "Let's call tomorrow and ask."

After saying this, not long after, there was a slight snoring sound on the kang.

……

The day before New Year's Eve.

After the last day of work, everyone in the kitchen can take a vacation.

Because of the holiday, everyone was very excited all day long. Even when they were working, they were a little absent-minded. A few apprentices even scratched their fingers with kitchen knives.

But even so, they couldn't help but feel happy looking at the small wounds on their fingers.

It's been a really good year.

Ever since they arrived at Taihe Hotel, they felt that their life was going smoothly.

Working in the kitchen, they not only learned real things, but also earned wages.

Let's go outside and ask around, how can there be such a good thing in this world?

When it was time to get off work, Su Qingfeng was about to leave when he saw a bunch of apprentices walking towards him with large and small bags in their hands.

Among this group of people, the first one is New Year greetings.

When they saw Su Qingfeng, they all came up to him and stuffed everything in their hands into Su Qingfeng's hands.

Seeing that Su Qingfeng couldn't hold anything in his hands, they came up with an idea, came to the back of the bicycle, and tied the things on the back seat of the bicycle. The hemp rope was wound three or five times. Even if a thief on the roadside wanted to steal something, It won't be possible to untie the rope for a while.

Su Qingfeng was a little confused, "What are you doing? Why are you giving gifts before it's time to celebrate the New Year? Besides, I am the master who celebrates the New Year, not your master, so don't hurt me. "

The last sentence was purely Su Qingfeng's joke.

The apprentices also smiled kindly after hearing his words.

"Master Su. Don't worry. We have already sent things to you. You are the master chef of the kitchen. If anyone is missing, you cannot be missing. And...it has been so long since , you don’t dislike us either, sometimes you even teach us a few dishes, we don’t have anything good in our hands, so just accept the things in the bag.”

After saying that, as if they were afraid of Su Qingfeng's rejection, they said, "By the way, Manager Hao hasn't sent it off yet. Master Su, let's go first!"

This group of people came and dispersed.

The hit was a surprise. Su Qingfeng looked at the last remaining person, He Nian, and raised his eyebrows, "Is this all your idea?"

He Nian immediately laughed, "Master, you think too highly of me. I don't have that ability. And... you also underestimate what you have taught them. Those words you said casually, to them, Those are all secrets. They have listened to so many good things from you during the day, and if they don’t give you anything at this time, they will feel sorry for themselves. "

Su Qingfeng took a look at these bags, and without even looking through them, he knew that they were full of good things, and he even smelled the smell of sausages.

The sausages at this time are not made by machines, but are made by hand. It seems that without opening it, you can see the crystal clear, oily and smooth sausages, as well as the rustling and dense texture when you eat them in your mouth. Taste.

Not to mention, although these guys can't cook, they are still very good at making other things.

After hearing the New Year greetings, Su Qingfeng thought about it carefully and found that the same was true.

Sheng Mien, fight against Mien.

Although he could ignore what he had done and not ask for anything in return, if others took it for granted, it would feel like Su Qingfeng was being taken advantage of.

He weighed the things on the bicycle, then thought about it and accepted it.

He Nian seemed to have seen what Su Qingfeng was thinking. He said with a smile, "Master, see you next year! Wait until I come to give you New Year greetings!"

Su Qingfeng chuckled lightly.

This guy is quite avant-garde and even said "see you next year".

He waved his hand and said in greetings, "See you next year."

With such a simple sentence, he successfully made the New Year boy smile so brightly that the corners of his mouth almost reached behind his ears.

Seeing his appearance, Su Qingfeng couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Turning around, he saw a woman wearing light green clothes under the tree over there. The woman was also like Su Qingfeng, with big and small bags, and a somewhat familiar color in her eyebrows.

Upon closer inspection, Su Qingfeng immediately discovered that this woman was none other than her eldest sister Su Yingchun.

When he went to Jiaodong before, Li Ran also mentioned that Su Yingchun came to visit their home, but because he had too much work, he couldn't get away, so he came with a lot of things, and finally he was stunned. Leave with a breeze on your sleeves.

Su Qingfeng and the eldest sister had not officially met until now.

He looked at the eldest sister's bright smile, which showed a kind of confidence and brilliance that could not be seen in Sujia Village before.

……

Sujia Village.

Village head.

In a primary school classroom next to the big banyan tree.

At this time, the elementary school has already been on vacation, but this does not mean that the classrooms here are so idle.

On the contrary, because the primary school classrooms are all brick houses that are rare in the village, they are much stronger and warmer than the mud houses of most people.

So at this time, a group of old ladies and daughters-in-law who used to chat under the big banyan tree in summer are now gathered around the honeycomb stove, warming themselves by the fire, either knitting yarn or sewing and mending in their hands.

On the other side, the elders in the village were all sitting in their seats, smoking cigarettes.

Among the cluttered voices, I don’t know who brought up the topic first:

"Zhengguo, your family is now prosperous. Qingfeng is working in the county, Yingchun is also working in the theater, Siwei has a regular business, and your daughters-in-law, especially the second daughter-in-law, are now There’s no need to make trouble anymore. It looks like these days are getting better and better..."

When the person who spoke mentioned this, there was a hint of envy that could not be concealed in his words.

Who in the village doesn't know how old Su's family lived in the past. There was a fool in the family, the fourth son and his wife, one was a bastard and the other was a sick young man. I have been thinking about moving things back to my parents' house all day long, and I wish I could subsidize the entire old Su family.

To be honest, apart from the third child who doesn't know life or death, only the elders seem to be more reliable.

When walking on the road, people in the village know how much money they have in their pockets.

But later, when Su Qingfeng came to his senses, the old Su family felt like they had been fueled by gunpowder. Their daily life had improved by leaps and bounds.

It's true that the situation is changing.

Su Zhengguo had heard these words countless times in the past few days.

But even so, every time he heard it, his mood couldn't help but become a little brighter, and the smile on his lips became more and more obvious.

Seeing him like this, some people in the crowd felt uncomfortable.

This feeling is equivalent to...seeing other people's lives being good is even more uncomfortable than my own life being bad.

Immediately, someone couldn't help but say: "Although my life is good, I am in the county and I don't know how to come back during the Chinese New Year. If you ask me, no matter how much money I make, I still can't get together during the Chinese New Year." Living together is meaningless. As long as you have enough money. No matter how much you earn, there will be no one at home after the Chinese New Year, and it will be deserted. What are you doing?"

The speaker was an old widower from the village.

This year, because the educated youth selected a female educated youth who couldn't bear the life here, she married a thirty-year-old old widower. This so-called old widower was the man speaking in front of her.

After hearing what he said, Su Zhengguo's face turned slightly cold, but he couldn't say anything more.

There is indeed nothing wrong with what people say at first glance, it just doesn’t sound very nice.

When the little old lady over there heard this, she couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Lu Jun, stop farting for me. You are not my eldest grandson. How do you know whether he will come back?"

Lu Jun, that is, the newly married old widower, after hearing the old lady's words, he squinted his eyes subconsciously, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes, and then said lazily, "Who wants to stay in the county town if you can?" In the countryside? Otherwise there are so many people trying to get to the city, what’s the point of it?”

"It's smelly when we walk on the road in the countryside. There are no supply and marketing cooperatives, and it's inconvenient to buy things, let alone a movie theater. By the way, do you know about movie theaters? I'm afraid you've only seen open-air movies. You're not in a cinema, watching a movie with a bag of melon seeds, are you?"

"..."

The little old lady frowned.

What movie theater?

What melon seeds?

Why is she, an old lady, doing so many chores?

Thinking about it, I don't know who saw something through the window and suddenly screamed.

"Hey! Zhengguo, look at the figures of Qingfeng and Yingchun over there!" (End of Chapter)
