Zhou Cheng's words can't find anything wrong.
Liu Yong was speechless.
Xia Xiaolan thought, this talent is 20 years old. Is she pursued by small fresh meat?
Zhou Cheng's youth reminds Xia Xiaolan that she is only 18 years old. She has great youth to enjoy and Xia Xiaolan can't live in joy. The big herring is also delicious. The chefs in the state-owned hotel are powerful. Shouldn't the waiter be arrogant? Like those time-honored stores in later generations, the shopkeepers are not very good tempered, and diners still flock to them.
The fish slices as thin as cicada's wings are tender but not fishy. Xia Xiaolan put down her chopsticks.
Although the fish is delicious, Zhou Cheng said so. She also needs to show her attitude.
"Brother Zhou, sit down and talk."
It was too serious to stand up, as if she were proposing a kiss to her uncle.
"I heard your sincerity, and I also said my own psychological words... I guess you heard how bad my reputation is. Some things, I still have to solve by myself. Only when I am strong, I am not afraid of the dirty water poured by others, right? I still live with my mother at my uncle's house. I don't want to win your sympathy. I know you want to help me. However, I will not consider personal feelings for the time being. I hope I can develop a healthy and long-term relationship with an independent attitude. Thank you, brother Zhou. "
No matter how euphemistic it is, it is also a refusal.
Kang Wei couldn't help shrinking his neck.
He was afraid that Zhou Cheng would lift the table. Brother Chengzi hasn't been rejected like this since he was a child, has he?
What's more, brother Chengzi didn't dislike Xia Xiaolan's unclear reputation!
Kang Wei didn't wait for Zhou Cheng to lift the table. Zhou Cheng looked at Xia Xiaolan for a while, but really sat down:
"I know what you mean. We've known each other for a short time. I'm not in a hurry. You don't have a psychological burden. Just like friends, you can communicate as you should. Eat fish, the chef of this restaurant is good! "
Kang Wei's eyes almost didn't fall out.
Did you really accept it?
Not angry at all?
Anyway, if Kang Wei was rejected, he would not sit down to eat fish so calmly!
However, Zhou Cheng and Xia Xiaolan seem to have opened their words. Their performance is very natural. Zhou Cheng is very generous, and Xia Xiaolan doesn't pinch... It's strange to say that Xia Xiaolan is the most arrogant and charming girl Kang Wei has ever seen, but she grew up in the countryside, and she has the freshness with a big girl in the capital. No, she is different from the big girls in the capital. Those little girls speak clearly "you ya you Ya" outside. When they arrive in front of Zhou Cheng, they pinch and pretend to be a lady. Xia Xiaolan is not like this. She has a bright temperament, but she is very polite.
be neither humble nor pushy.
A word suddenly came out of Kang Wei's mind.
Is the little village girl neither humble nor arrogant?
He thought he was going to drink a bowl of fish ball soup!
The two young people made it clear that Liu Yong could not continue to intervene. Anyway, Zhou Cheng won't stay in Anqing county all the time. Sooner or later, he will go away. Liu Yongmei Zizi eats fish. A big herring weighing 18 kg was eaten by four people. Zhou Cheng said that he would go out for a cigarette and had settled the account when he came back.
I'm sorry to change Liu Yong.
"It's no big deal. Whoever invites everyone is the same. It's mainly because the people who eat together are happy!"
Zhou Cheng said it casually. He really doesn't lack this money.
But in this era, it is very rare for Zhou Cheng to be so generous when he has to spend carefully to buy an egg. The waiters of the hotel looked at him secretly and thought that the capital man was really rich. If only she were a target!
However, seeing Xia Xiaolan, the waitress was embarrassed and said that she was better than Xia Xiaolan.
Then there's no way to rob someone.
After leaving the hotel, Zhou Cheng asked Xia Xiaolan and Liu Yong what they were going to do next and whether they needed a ride. Xia Xiaolan shook her head:
"I'm going shopping. I've delayed you all day today. Don't give it away."
The car burns oil. It's difficult to get from extravagance to thrift. Xia Xiaolan has finally adapted to her life of 83 years. She hasn't had time to enjoy the car pick-up and delivery. Zhou Cheng didn't force it. "Then uncle and Xiaolan, pay attention to safety when you go home. Kang Wei and I will stay in Anqing County for two days. You can come to the hostel to find us when you enter the city."
In addition to calling Liu Yong "Uncle", Zhou Cheng didn't bother at all. He really took Kang Wei and Xia Xiaolan in two separate ways.
Liu Yong smiled. When the two disappeared, he suddenly sank his face:
"These two may be engaged in smuggling and making money by licking the edge of the knife. I can't tell when people and money will lose. Xiaolan, don't look at the handsome boy and be cheated by his sweet words."
Xia Xiaolan was not too surprised.
Zhou Cheng wore a Rolex and drove a big Dongfeng car welded by steel bars. This man also had an unspeakable evil spirit. It's not surprising to say that he was engaged in smuggling.
"Uncle, how did you see that?"
Xia Xiaolan is strange about this. Liu Yong is a farmer. He makes money by building houses and pigpens. How can he have such an eye!
Uncle, are you really a mason? I bought a new bike and have the confidence to stand out for their mother and daughter again... Is it enough to rely on the Bricklayer's wages?
Liu Yong smiled and Gu Zuoyan said:
"Your uncle is smart. What are you going to buy? Buy early, let's go home early. "
Xia Xiaolan did not continue to ask questions in the street. She and Liu Yong went to the department store. Anqing county relies on two large factories to support its economy. The department stores in the county were not big, and there were few guests at this time. When Liu Yong saw Xia Xiaolan walking to the counter selling cloth and clothes, he thought she wanted to make new clothes.
It's nothing that little girls like to wear new clothes.
Liu Yong can still afford a few yuan a meter of cloth.
Unexpectedly, Xia Xiaolan went to the counter, but pointed to the colored schoolbag with a small elephant and asked:
"Comrade, how much is this schoolbag?"
The salesperson was knitting a sweater and didn't look up: "10 yuan a bag from Shanghai stock market. It's expensive."
"I want this. Wrap it up for me!"
The salesperson was finally willing to look at Xia Xiaolan. She didn't care who bought the schoolbag, as long as she could afford it. Xia Xiaolan paid the money and said to Liu Yong, "let's go. My aunt asked us to go home early for dinner."
Liu Yong realized later, "don't you buy things for yourself? Schoolbag for Taotao? It's too expensive... I think the canvas next to it is good. Alas, how can I buy a child's schoolbag? Your aunt said to sew one for him with cloth! "
Liu Yong said it cost money, but he felt comfortable in the end.
Not because Xia Xiaolan spent money, but because Xia Xiaolan is sensible and knows to care for her little cousin. Siblings are blood relatives, and relatives care about each other. In the future, life will be better and better.
Liu Yong looked back at the monotonous cloth on the counter, endured the impulse of shopping and bought it when he was alone.
When they returned to Qijing village, Li Fengmei and Liu Fen had not come back. Liu Yong couldn't stay at home and ran to the field to help. Taotao was so happy and crazy that he kept asking, "sister Xiaolan, is this for me? Is it really for me? "
Xia Xiaolan decided to cook first.
To tell you the truth, she ate a little bit of fish at noon. Now she's just doing some work to digest it.
Although she was poor in her last life, she cooked on her own when she was a teenager, but she was on a honeycomb briquette stove. Later, she had a gas stove. She had no experience in using a rural earth stove - fortunately, she had Taotao. Although her little cousin was only six years old, she often lit a fire for Li Fengmei.
With Taotao's help, Xia Xiaolan steamed the rice in a small iron pot. Under the steamer, white radish was boiled, and the rest was cooked in another big pot.
Li Fengmei asked someone to send half a pair of pig liver. Xia Xiaolan, who was very Kung Fu tested, dared not touch it. However, in addition to pig liver, there were crucian carp, loach and other things at home. Killing loach is a technical activity. There is sticky liquid on the surface of loach, so it can't keep its hands. Wash it with hot salt water before killing... Xia Xiaolan was in a hurry. Taotao laughed at the slippery loach and didn't give his cousin face at all.
It was not easy to clean up the loach. Xia Xiaolan cooked it with dried pepper pan and tofu, covered the lid and stewed it slowly. She went to clean up the crucian carp again.
Crucian carp is easy to pick up. Pull some shallots and pinch some Patchouli leaves behind the house. She can make a Patchouli crucian carp.
When the people working in the fields came back, only the pig liver remained.
"Xiaolan has finished the meal?"
……
At Anqing County guest house, Xia Xiaolan is also the protagonist of Zhou Cheng's conversation with Kang Wei.
