Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 394 Chapter 393 Advice
Tang Zhitong once heard a saying: 99% of the people who embarrass you are looking down on you, not because they have low emotional intelligence.

To Tang Zhitong's relief, classmate Xiao Wang did not look down on his friend. Under her subtle guidance, Shu Qing became more and more comfortable chatting with her.

In this way, Tang Zhitong was driven out of the room with a pot to cook, and Wan Xiangyang followed suit with a basin.

The dormitory of the Escort Department where Wan Xiangyang and Shu Qing lived had only one room. After putting down a bed, there was not much space left. Moreover, it was not cold enough to light a stove, so the stove was always placed at the door.

After the two brothers came out, they did not start immediately. Instead, they leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette while chatting.

Tang Zhitong deliberately lowered his voice: "Brother Yang, are you okay with what I said last time?"

"Don't worry, there are some things your sister-in-law doesn't know about at all, and I've told her before." Wan Xiangyang also lowered his voice and replied.

"Okay, okay, thank you Brother Yang for your understanding." After saying this, Tang Zhitong's voice rose and he said politely to Wan Xiangyang: "Brother Yang, you and sister-in-law are too polite to prepare so many dishes."

"Where are we now? I really want to do more, but I really can't. Just this pumpkin, I still got your credit." Wan Xiangyang's voice became normal, and he talked to Tang Zhitong.

"Don't say that. This is the result of the joint efforts of all the people in our escort department. What can I do on my own?" Tang Zhitong waved his hands quickly. He still had some of the thirty kilograms he had received. Although Zhang Guifang agreed Eat, but eat sparingly.

"Hey, it's not just what I got. There are no green vegetables on the market now, and the canteen has used the reserved pumpkins. Who doesn't say good things about you? You haven't been here for a while, so it's a real loss." Because Wan Wan The reason why Xiang Hong is preparing for the exam is that Wan Xiangyang has already deeply realized the importance of food and non-staple food one step ahead of most residents of Sijiu City. When talking about this pumpkin, his words are full of gratitude to Tang Zhitong.

"What? Master Gao in the cafeteria started using the reserved pumpkins? I came here after school in the past few days and didn't go to the cafeteria. I really didn't pay attention." After all, Tang Zhitong was so panicked that he didn't expect this. Batch, hurry up and find a replacement.

"Oh, it's mainly the lunch meal. It's two meals a day. The ones I save won't be able to eat cabbage when it goes to market." Seeing Tang Zhitong wink, Wan Xiangyang didn't know what was going on, but his first reaction was to follow Tang Zhitong's direction. Go on.

"That's true, she still has two months to go." Tang Zhitong finished smoking, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, poked his head into the room, saw that there was nothing strange about classmate Xiao Wang, and said, "Wenwen, take that bag Give me the peanuts and I'll fry them."

"Hey, come on, why don't you bring your own food when you ask me to come over and sit down?" When Wan Xiangyang heard this, he was unhappy.

"Brother Yang, it's only three yuan per share, and you're still doing this. Do you think I have the nerve to sit down?" Tang Zhitong took the peanuts handed over by classmate Xiao Wang, pointed at the canned meat in the basin and shook his head.

Nowadays, meat stamps are issued, but you have to try your luck whether you can buy meat. Canned meat is occasionally sold, and you don’t need a stamp. If you have money, you can buy it.

"Look what you said, isn't our relationship worth a can of meat?" Wan Xiangyang strongly disagreed with what Tang Zhitong said. He gave himself a lot of things over and over again. What's a can of meat? But Tang Zhitong had promised not to mention this matter, and Wan Xiangyang couldn't hold it back easily.

"It's worth it. We'll eat it next time. We'll put it away first this time." Tang Zhitong made up his mind not to eat this bite. The canned meat will last forever. By this time next year, it will become an emergency and life-saving item. Now he eats it. What to be?

"No, it must be opened, otherwise there will be no meat dishes." Wan Xiangyang disagreed, but still insisted on his own idea.

"Brother Yang, I'm not being polite or joking. Don't ask why, keep it, you'll need it later." Tang Zhitong put the canned meat on the windowsill, looked back at Wan Xiangyang sincerely, and said.

"Okay, okay, I'll keep it. Can you let me go?" From the strength of Tang Zhitong's hold on his arm, Wan Xiangyang felt his sincerity and reluctantly agreed.

"Hey, then I'll cook. Just hold it up and swallow your tongue." Tang Zhitong saw that Wan Xiangyang agreed, then turned around and started to put away the dishes.

There is a small table next to the stove, which is used to hold chopping boards and other commonly used things. It seems that it is pieced together with the scraps of wood leftover from the escort department's fight a while ago.

It's normal to leave it alone these days, just use it as waste.

We have to insist on being enlightened and not taking anything from the unit. There are people like that, but overall they are still in the minority.

In this regard, the person pushing a cart selling popsicles has the most say. When you arrive at the gate of the glass factory, there will be children coming out with wine bottles to exchange for ice cream; when you arrive at the gate of the steel factory, there will be children carrying scraps of iron to exchange for ice cream. …

The mountain people rely on the mountains to eat, and the fishermen rely on the sea to eat. These children make the factory their home...

Tang Zhitong first cracked the peanuts a little. He didn't hesitate to put in a pound of peanuts, used half of them, and left the rest for Wan Xiangyang.

After it collapses, pinch some salt into it, stir it, and let Wan Xiangyang bring it into the house to cool down.

Tang Zhitong scooped a ladle of water into the pot, brushed it with a broom, put it aside, and continued to stir-fry the next vegetables.

Wan Xiangyang and his wife prepared bean sprouts, pumpkin, and yuba. They originally wanted to use canned meat to make four dishes, but Tang Zhitong forcibly replaced them with peanuts.

With the space cheat in hand, he didn't use much oil and didn't add too much salt. Wan Xiangyang was full of praise for the aroma produced by the frying because Tang Zhitong secretly put cooking oil in it.

After all, without seasoning, no matter how good a cook is, it will be difficult to make something delicious.

When the last dish was served, Wan Xiangyang used the stirring sound of the spoon and solemnly advised Tang Zhitong in a low voice: "Euclidean, you are living a peaceful life, so you can't do anything wrong."

"Ah? What?" Tang Zhitong was confused, not knowing what Wan Xiangyang was referring to.

"Isn't it just an excuse for you to come here?" Wan Xiangyang asked seriously.

"Hey, brother Yang, don't worry. I took advantage of the fact that I could still buy some things. I was cooking some outside. I didn't dare to tell my family for fear that they would be worried." Tang Zhitong took out the vegetables, put another spoonful of water in the pot, and After brushing it, there was no oil or water. No detergent or facial soda was needed. It was clean with just a swipe of water. "Oh, that's good, that's good." Wan Xiangyang felt relieved and waited for Tang Zhitong to finish his work with the dishes, then walked into the house together.

"I see you don't have a steamer here, so why are you still eating in the canteen?" Tang Zhitong asked as he put the washed pot on the table, picked up the can on the window sill and walked into the room.

"It's only been a few days since I moved here, and I often go out to escort. Your sister-in-law can't eat much by herself, so she doesn't have a meal at home." Wan Xiangyang put down the dishes, took out two bottles of white wine, bit it with his teeth, and the lid came off. .

Seeing this, Shu Qing took out her chopsticks and sat down with Wang Jingwen.

"There are no outsiders today, so I can say whatever I want. If my sister-in-law knows how to steam steamed buns and steamed buns, she'd better start cooking by herself in the future." Tang Zhitong put the can on the window sill beside the bed and advised tactfully.

"I know how to do it. I did it when I was at my parents' house." Shu Qing pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said.

"I understand, keep the food in your own hands, right?" Wan Xiangyang understood clearly. Wasn't the reason why he subsidized his sister in the first place because of the canteen's deductions? Although he didn't believe that Master Gao would do this, he also didn't believe that Tang Zhitong would do it without aim. Compared with the two, he was more willing to believe in Tang Zhitong.

"We were both taking the courier exam. I didn't expect you to become a courier. I didn't expect you to become a courier again after working in circles for more than half a year." Wan Xiangyang poured two glasses of wine and gave Tang Zhi the same glass.

"It must be a special fate that brings our two families together. Let's raise a toast together and wish you and your sister-in-law a happy marriage and a long life together!" Tang Zhitong picked up the wine glass and raised a glass. They are all from his own family, and then pay attention to those things. The rules at the wine table are boring.

Wan Xiangyang and Tang Zhitong were drinking, while Shu Qing and Wang Jingwen had tea instead of wine. After one gulp, Shu Qing, who tasted the food, immediately praised: "Euclidean, your craftsmanship is incredible, it is better than Master Gao from our unit. Brothers and sisters I am blessed to have a chef cooking at home every day.”

"Where is it? There is no food in the vegetable shop now, and he is a busy man. It is rare that he can eat at home. I can only eat this time thanks to my sister-in-law and Brother Xiangyang, who prepared such a rich meal." Xiao Wang The classmate said with a smile.

"These are just a few dishes. If they had been there a year ago, they would have been four meat dishes. At that time, the rabbits, turtle doves, pheasants, etc. on the mountain kept me busy. Now I have less. I go into the mountain two or three times. I may not have caught one." Wan Xiangyang began to shake his head as he spoke.

"Hehe, it seems that I am luckier than Brother Yang. I even caught one when I went into the mountains a while ago." Tang Zhitong was afraid that classmate Xiao Wang would have questions, so he revealed the fact that he "went into the mountains" before the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance to avoid any mishaps.

"You are indeed luckier than me. You caught rabbits the first time you went into the mountains. Then you kept saying you would go again, but you never found a chance." Wan Xiangyang said with emotion without hearing any problem.

"Brother Yang, you don't want to hunt rabbits, but you want to find an opportunity to fire two shots, right? I remember when we were taking the exam, you said you were interested in escorting the escort and had the opportunity to touch the gun. Did you get your wish?" Tang Zhitong didn't want to answer this question. After much entanglement, he changed the subject smoothly.

"Did I just want to touch it? What I wanted was to fire the gun and get meritorious service! You also know that the opportunities are too rare. Even if I encounter one now, I dare not shoot casually." Wan Xiangyang complained about his former ideals.

"Will the escort be in danger now?" Xiao Wang asked worriedly as he had never heard Tang Zhitong mention this before.

"There is no danger, but occasionally someone picks up the car, and they are all hungry. We mainly drive them away." In order to prevent his family from worrying, Tang Zhitong did not tell classmate Xiao Wang about the things he encountered during these trips. , I didn’t expect it to leak out here today.

"It's really quite small. There are more people waiting for goods. People like me who are short-distance bettors have less chance of encountering them." Wan Xiangyang also didn't mention it to Shu Qing. Since he was talking nonsense today, then You have to make up for it.

"I've heard my colleagues talk about it, but there really aren't many." Shu Qing also confirmed at the side that she was looking for a partner herself, and had also inquired about the job of escort in private. If the risk is too high, she will definitely not be happy to marry a man, wear clothes and eat with a man. She can't risk becoming a widow just for a higher salary, right?
"Oh, that's okay, but I was overthinking it. Thank you, Brother Yang, thank you, sister-in-law." On the big day, classmate Xiao Wang didn't want to be unhappy, so he happily took over the responsibility and picked up the wine glass.

The next few people chatted and became more attentive. They talked about their own embarrassments and the fun they had at work, and never mentioned the danger factors.

Just like a meeting is bound to be a success, a dinner party is bound to be enjoyable for both host and guest.

In order to avoid drinking too much, Tang Zhitong and Wan Xiangyang didn't drink too much. The four of them drank tea after dinner and chatted for a while before leaving.

Before leaving, classmate Xiao Wang asked Shu Qing to leave each other their writing addresses.

For a man, he is afraid that his wife will form an alliance with his friend's wife, but Tang Zhitong is not too worried. He will not stay in the escort department for a long time in the past few years, so what will happen?
After arriving at the office, Tang Zhitong opened the drawer and took out the bag of barley tea that he had just put in using the space: "I see that you like drinking tea. It's not easy to buy it here. I'll go to my uncle's this time and talk to him over there." The Xian compatriots changed it to some barley tea, try to see if you can get used to it."

"I'm used to it. It tastes good. I've had it before. I'm going to reward you." Xiao Wang leaned over and tapped Tang Zhitong's cheek. He smiled at the corners of his eyes and felt even more satisfied in his heart. Every time he went out, he thought of bringing it to himself. thing.

"Okay, tell me after you drink it, and I'll ask my cousin to send it again." The barley tea that Tang Zhitong took out this time was about one-third of what Park Dacheng gave him. This thing is afraid of moisture, so taking it out after drinking it is nothing more than an excuse.

"No, you can drink these for a long time." Xiao Wang is very sensible and doesn't want to cause trouble to his relatives.

Tang Zhitong didn't try to dissuade him. He just kept a closer look. When the tea jar was gone, he took it out.

After packing the pine nuts, Xiao Wang put both satchels on his back, sat in the back seat of Tang Zhitong and walked home.

"Bring an extra bag for your love. In the end, I'll ride it home." Tang Zhitong joked to Xiao Wang, who was in the back seat, after pedaling his bike.

"What? Aren't you happy?" Classmate Xiao Wang patted Tang Zhitong's back lightly, with a cute nasal voice that sounded like coquettishness.

"If you're happy, why not, let me take you with you for the rest of your life." Tang Zhitong said cheerfully.

"That's pretty much it." Xiao Wang leaned his head on Tang Zhitong's back with satisfaction, and put his right hand around his waist...

Regarding the dangerous issue mentioned during the meal, Xiao Wang had the idea of ​​asking Hao Ren to transfer Tang Zhitong to another position at that moment, but he suppressed it. After all, his husband still focused on studying and had few opportunities for business trips. Transferring jobs now will leave a bad impression on people and delay progress. It is better to wait until graduation to see if a good position is assigned.

Of course, these are all immature thoughts in Xiao Wang's mind. There are still several years before graduation, and he has not even written a single horoscope. It is too early to say this now.
