The Pentium Era - South to North

The next morning, Zhang Chen woke up and found that his father had already gotten up behind him. The door to the room was open, and there was no movement at all outside the door. Zhang Chen got up and walked outside to the living room. There was no one there. He walked to the kitchen and stretched his head to take a look. He saw Xiao Zhao and his mother were talking inside.

Zhang Chen went to the bathroom, washed up and returned to the living room. After a while, Xiao Zhao came. When he saw Zhang Chen sitting in front of the brazier, he walked over and stretched out his left hand. Zhang Chen understood that this was to complete what he must complete every day. The production of Zhang Chen brand watches.

Zhang Chen went to the room to get a pen, and the two of them sat in front of the brazier and started drawing. Zhang Chen's mother came out of the kitchen, came over to take a look, and shouted: "What, Xiao Zhao, did you lose your watch? Come on, Mom This is for you."

"No, no, Mom, I have to wear two watches." Xiao Zhao shouted quickly.

"Fool, what's the point of drawing a piece of it? I'd rather give this piece to you."

Xiao Zhao giggled: "Mom, we are joking."

Zhang Chen continued to draw, and when he finished, Xiao Zhao put her watch on it. She raised her wrist and shook it towards Zhang Chen's mother, saying, "Did you see, Mom, I wore it like this."

Zhang Chen's mother also laughed and scolded: "You kid, you are just naughty."

The door opened, and Zhang Chen's father came in from the door. He was holding a steel pot with soy milk in his hand. The lid of the steel pot was turned over, with big cakes and fried dough sticks on top. When he walked in, he shouted: "Water." opened."

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Xiao Zhao jumped up, took two empty hot water bottles, and went to fill the briquette stove in the corridor at the door with boiling water.

The four of them sat down to have breakfast. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao were about to leave. Zhang Chen's parents were going to see them off, but Xiao Zhao stopped them. Xiao Zhao told them that it's so cold outside, so don't go out. A little way, we arrived in no time.

Xiao Zhao and Zhang Chen’s mother stood face to face at the door. Xiao Zhao and Zhang Chen’s mother said:

"Mom, you and Dad, please take care of your health at home. Don't worry, we will come back to see you when we have time. You can also come to Hangzhou and I will play with you. I am familiar with Hangzhou now. You still You can stay in our hotel, it’s very convenient.”

Zhang Chen’s mother said, OK, I will definitely go.

She stretched out her hand to pull up the zipper of Xiao Zhao's down jacket, and said to Xiao Zhao: "You guys should take care of yourselves when you are outside. Zhang Chen is not sensible. If he makes you angry, just call me and I will call him." he."

Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "I just need to hit him. If I hit him, he won't dare to fight back."

"If he dares to fight back, tell me."

Xiao Zhao said yes.

As the two people talked, they hugged each other and started crying.

Zhang Chen smiled on the side and said: "Hey, oh, what are you doing? It's not just to go to Hangzhou, but it's not to Hainan. It's only a little way away."

"It took you so long to bring Xiao Zhao home in Hangzhou, I knew it was your idea." Zhang Chen's mother glared at Zhang Chen.

Yesterday, they bought tickets to go back to Hangzhou at 7:40. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao still went to the gate of the county committee to wait for the bus. When the bus came out of the station, it would stop for five minutes when passing by. When they arrived, there were already many people. A few people have been waiting here, and the car hasn't come yet.

The two of them stood there for a while, and then they saw Zhang Chen's father riding a bicycle with his mother. The two of them rushed over. Zhang Chen's father stopped the car, and Xiao Zhao helped his mother get out of the car. Xiao Zhao asked: "Mom, why are you here? Is there anything else you want to say?"

Zhang Chen's father said, it's okay, she just has to come see you off.

The four people walked back to the place where they were waiting for the bus and naturally divided into two groups. Zhang Chen and his father were in one group. Zhang Chen took out cigarettes, handed one to his father, lit it for him, and then lit one himself. root, the two of them smoked cigarettes silently.

Xiao Zhao and Zhang Chen's mother stood aside, lowering their voices, talking affectionately, and holding hands. Zhang Chen thought that this scene seemed familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered, Sister Guihua and her mother-in-law, aren't they like this? ? Unexpectedly, the master and the apprentice he brought out were also like this.

Zhang Chen felt warm in his heart.

Zhang Chen's father also looked at the two women, especially Xiao Zhao, with soft eyes.

"Be nice to others." Zhang Chen's father said suddenly.

Zhang Chen didn't hear clearly and asked, "What did you say?"

"Be nice to others!" Zhang Chen's father repeated.

Zhang Chen said "Oh" and said he understood.

The car came and Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao got in. Zhang Chen's parents stood under the car and waved to them. Xiao Zhao sat by the window and waved to them.

An old lady nearby who also came to see off guests asked Zhang Chen's mother: "Is this your daughter?"

"This is my wife." Zhang Chen's mother proudly told her.

The car started and drove away. Xiao Zhao looked behind her until they could no longer be seen. Then she turned around and said to Zhang Chen, "Your parents are so kind!"

"That's for you, not me?" Zhang Chen said, "They like you."

"What, are you jealous?" Xiao Zhao looked at Zhang Chen and smiled, "You are jealous, right?"

"Nonsense, there's nothing jealous about this." Zhang Chen said.

Xiao Zhao leaned his head over Zhang Chen's shoulder, held Zhang Chen's hand, and said to him: "Don't worry, my parents will like you very much if you come to my house."

…

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao got off the bus at Wulinmen Station. They took the bus to Longxiang Bridge, then changed all the way, and then arrived at the bus stop near the Hongqi Hotel.

When the two of them walked to the Hongqi Hotel, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Sister Guihua was working the middle shift today. She knew that this was Xiao Zhao's first time visiting the hotel. When she saw them, she quickly asked, "How is it?"

"His parents are very good to me." Xiao Zhao and Sister Guihua said.

Sister Guihua breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I knew it would be like this. There is no mother-in-law who wouldn't like our Xiao Zhao, such a good daughter-in-law."

Zhang Chen and Sister Guihua said: "Thank you, Sister Guihua!"

Sister Guihua asked curiously: "Why are you thanking me?"

"You, the master, take care of me well."

As Zhang Chen spoke, he told the scene he saw. Sister Guihua and Xiao Zhao both laughed. Xiao Zhao said, why didn't I think of it? It's true.

Sister Guihua also smiled and said: "Okay, I am willing to be this master, Xiao Zhao, let's work hard together."

Xiao Zhao said "hmm".

The two of them haven't eaten yet. There are a lot of corn cakes that Zhang Chen's mother made for them in the bag. Zhang Chen took them out and roasted them on the tongs. After a while, the corn cakes were roasted until they were golden brown and sizzling with oil. The aroma is tangy.

Zhang Chen invited Sister Guihua to eat too. Sister Guihua couldn't help but pick up one and took a bite. It contained pickled vegetables and meat. She couldn't help but nod: "It's delicious, so delicious!"

Xiao Zhao took out the corn glutinous rice from the bag and made sure to give half to Sister Guihua to take home. Sister Guihua refused, and Zhang Chen also said that this is a specialty of Yongcheng. Take it back for Brother Haigen and you. My mother-in-law also tried it.

Sister Guihua then said thank you and accepted it.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao said, "You can either stay here with Sister Guihua, and I'll go to the unit to see how the contract they signed with Boss Liu yesterday went."

Xiao Zhao said okay, you go quickly.

Zhang Chen rode his bicycle to the company. As soon as he walked into the company, Ji Feo stood up when he saw him and waited for Zhang Chen to come over. He smiled at Zhang Chen and slapped him on the shoulder. , shouted:

"Okay, I'll just say that you are reliable and have completely taken care of this Taiwanese guy."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Chen knew that he already knew about the contract and didn't mind at all. Zhang Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked Ji Feo: "Is Manager Song here? I'll ask him what to do next. "

"Here, Lao Song is in the office now, probably grinning from ear to ear with joy. You should go quickly."

It’s not only Old Song who is happy, Ji Fei is also happy. After the contract is signed, Old Song has already told him that he will not have to intervene in this project at all, but the bonus that will be given to him will not be a penny. He would be missing. With such a good thing, how could Ji Fei be unhappy?

Zhang Chen arrived at Manager Song's office. When Manager Song saw him, he stood up and asked, "Are you back? How are you at home?"

"Very good, thank you, Manager Song. Where is Boss Liu here?"

"It's done!"

"Then, can we continue?"

"Keep going, your arrangement is this. Boss Liu believes in you, so just do it boldly!"

"Okay, thank you, Manager Song. Then I will roughly schedule the following construction dates tonight."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. As I said before, I, Old Song, will never be sorry to you."

Zhang Chen came out of Manager Song's place and saw Zhong Yaqiong secretly waving to him, so he walked over. Zhong Yaqiong said to him: "Congratulations, you are a celebrity now, not only in the company, but also in this yard." ”

"what?"

"I won such a good contract. No one has ever seen such a contract before. They all joked that this is Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty. This time he is not the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but Li Hongzhang. Do you know that if you succeed in this project? , is it the profit from several other projects?”
