life struggle

Yuanzhen Hotel is the only three-star hotel in the county. Its exterior architecture is magnificent and its interior decoration is elegant, with different styles and extraordinary taste. It is an important place to receive VIPs and important customers. 【 】

As soon as the four of them entered the hall, several gorgeously dressed and beautiful waitresses smiled and enthusiastically shouted "Hello, please come in."

Perhaps Zhao Shuting was used to this kind of scene, she didn't even reply, she went straight to the bar, "Xiao Zhao, book me a private room for five people."

A waiter said with a smile on his face, "Aunt Zhao, I'm sorry, we don't have a private room for five people here, the smallest one is for six people, there are a lot of guests today, please wait a moment, I will check for you Is there any?" She quickly flipped through the registration book, and then said, "Aunt Zhao, I'm sorry, but there are no six-person stage, so I will reserve the eight-person stage Shangxianjing for you, okay?"

Zhao Shuting said impatiently, "Okay, okay, arrange it quickly."

The four of them came to the private room, and the waiter turned on the TV and air conditioner, made chrysanthemum tea, and the service was quite attentive.The waiter asked, "What dishes do you want?"

Zhao Shuting sipped the water and said casually, "The table is packed in medium, serve the cold dishes quickly."

Luo Xiao looked at Zhao Shuting's expressionless and indifferent attitude towards the waiter, and said to herself that the official wife is different, she has a certain style and arrogance. He is very respectful, and it seems that he often goes in and out of here.

Luo Wen said, "Sister, your Mei Xiang is a good girl. Not only is she good-looking, she is very talented, and she is also very sensible, which is really rare."

Zhao Shuting said, "She is crazy all day long, and she has no morals, which makes me worry about her forever. I really don't know when he will grow up."

Sitting beside Qin Meixiang and Luo Xiao, they curled their lips at Zhao Shuting, "I'm not a child anymore, who asked you to take care of me, you just need to be my logistics support staff, don't worry about anything else. You can't get your hands in the tube, so don't worry."

Luo Wen said, "Xiaoxiang, you can't say that. No matter how old you are, you are still a child in front of your parents. After all, your parents are more experienced and knowledgeable than you. Including Xiaoxiao, you are still young and haven't left school. I don't know With the complexity of reality and society, there will be many unexpected things in the future. Listening to the opinions and suggestions of parents will only have benefits and will not cause harm. Of course, you young people are all growing up in the new era, and many I haven’t suffered hardships, and my thinking is relatively active and open, and I can’t compare with people of our time, but the essence of tradition must be preserved and inherited, and what remains is useful.”

Zhao Shuting said, "There is a big generation gap between young people today and us. They won't believe anything they say, and they won't listen to it. It's really embarrassing."

Luo Wen said, "Times are changing, and sticking to old ideas is not an option. We should keep pace with the times or adapt to the situation and society. I have heard such a saying: For generations, our ancestors harvested wheat with sickles and shovels. Shoveling, one person cannot mow an acre of land in a day. A few years ago, a wheat shearer appeared, which can cut down an acre of wheat in a few minutes. At first, it was only used by a very small number of young people. It’s because the stubble is too long, and a lot of straw is wasted. They said that the young people are too lazy, and a family of two or three acres of land has been finished, and they can’t give up. After all, it’s much faster. In less than two years, everyone is struggling to grab Use it, no one will say anything. Later, when the combine harvester appeared, it was young people who took the lead at the beginning. The old people said that the wheat was thrown too much, and the cost was high. No need, watching other people hoarding grain, while the ground is full of wheat. Basking in the sun, I feel that I am outdated. In less than two years, no one is mowing in the field with their buttocks pouting, and the wheat shearer has been eliminated. Therefore, young people accept new things, and many good ideas and practices must also Give encouragement and support."

Zhao Shuting said, "My family's Meixiang is not good. She doesn't have a little opinion in doing things, so it's not reassuring. If I can be half as calm and sophisticated as Xiaoxiao, I will burn the incense."

Luo Wen said, "Sister, you can't say that. Mei Xiang is a very good girl. This time, if she and Wu Xiaojun are not careful, serious, and try their best to make a bridge, I'm afraid I will never see her again in my life." From Xiaoxiao’s mother who has been separated for more than 20 years, these two children have done a great deed for our family with sincerity that we will never forget in our lives.”

Zhao Shuting asked in confusion, "Brother Luo, what are you talking about and what's going on."

Luo Wen recounted the whole story, "Sister, I am so grateful to the two children, Mei Xiang and Xiao Jun."

Zhao Shuting said a little unhappy, "Brother Luo, I also know a little about Wu Xiaojun, what a poor kid in the countryside can do, I feel upset when I hear it, so don't mention him again today."

Qin Meixiang said displeasedly, "What's the matter with the rural people? Are you not a rural person? I don't think your relatives are doing well. They looked down on the rural people within a few days after you came out. Please be polite, Luo Xiao Her mother is also a farmer, and she supported two college students. Wu Xiaojun’s family also gave birth to two college students. Although the rural people are poor, they have a lot of ambition. I think most of the children from the countryside are better than those from the city. People know that Despite the hardships of life, I am eager to change the status quo of life and try my best to fight.”

Zhao Shuting stared, and said angrily, "You damn girl, you have nothing to do, and you even said that your mother is here. It seems that I have raised you for 20 years for nothing. You are really an unfamiliar dog."

Luo Wen hurriedly said, "Sister, okay, okay, don't talk anymore, kid, you can't get to know her as well."

The food was ready, and the four of them sat down to give Qin Shengwu a seat in the main seat. Zhao Shuting looked at her watch and saw that it was already 12:30. She greeted Luo Wen and her daughter, "Brother Luo, Xiao Xiao, everyone is hungry too. Well, it’s hard to walk away when you see people on May [-]st, so let’s not wait for him, let’s start first.”

Luo Wen said, "Don't worry, it's a bit inappropriate to start before the mayor comes, so let's wait."

Zhao Shuting said, "People can't help themselves in the officialdom, and there are so many rules and regulations. There are no outsiders today, so you can avoid it and don't wait any longer. That's how it is. Xiao Xiao and Mei Xiang are like sisters, and I have never looked outside , Brother Luo can come, Shengwu and I are very happy, let's replace the wine with tea, let's do one first."

The four of them were about to stand up and toast to each other, when the door suddenly opened, and the waiter gave way, "Sir, this is right here, please come in."

Zhao Shuting thought it was Qin Shengwu who came over, and said with a smile, "It's okay that Shengwu is here, let's toast."

"I'm really sorry, I'm late. Uncle, aunt, I kept you waiting for so long." Wu Xiaojun said with a blushing face as soon as he entered the door.

Zhao Shuting raised her head when she heard the words, and saw Wu Xiaojun's cheeky appearance, she couldn't help being surprised, her face turned cold and expressionless.
