Chapter 22: : Smuggling?
There is nothing wrong with Zhou Cheng's words.
Liu Yong was speechless.
Xia Xiaolan thought to herself, this talent is 20 years old, is she being pursued by Xiao Xianrou?
Zhou Cheng's youth reminded Xia Xiaolan that she was only 18 years old at her own age. She had great youth to enjoy, and Xia Xiaolan couldn't help but feel joy. Big herring is also delicious. The chefs of the state-run restaurants are very good. Isnt it right for the waiters to be a little arrogant? Thinking about the time-honored shops of later generations, the owner is not so good-tempered, and the diners are still rushing.
The thin fish fillets were tender and not fishy, so Xia Xiaolan put down her chopsticks a little regrettably.
Although the fish is delicious, Zhou Cheng put it like this, she also needs to take a stand.
"Brother Zhou, sit down and talk."
She stood up too serious, as if she was proposing to her uncle.
"I can hear your sincerity, and I will also talk about my own psychological words...how bad my reputation is, I guess you have heard it. Some things, I still have to solve them by myself. Only when I am strong, I am not afraid of others. Spilled dirty water, right? I still live with my mother at my uncles house. I said this is not to win your sympathy. I also know that you want to help me. However, I will not consider personal relationship issues 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 tactful it is, it is also a refusal.
Kang Wei couldn't help but shrink his neck.
He was afraid that Zhou Cheng would throw off the table. Since childhood, Brother Chengzi has never been rejected like this, right?
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 actually sat down:
"I know what you mean. The time we have known each other is short. I'm not in a hurry. You don't have to be mentally burdened. Just like your friends, you can do whatever you want. Eat fish. The chef in this restaurant is good at craftsmanship! "
Kang Wei's eyeballs almost didn't fall out.
Really accept it?
Not angry at all?
Anyway, if Kang Wei was rejected, he would definitely not sit down and eat fish again!
However, Zhou Cheng and Xia Xiaolan seemed to have spoken out, both of them behaved quite naturally. Zhou Cheng is quite generous, and Xia Xiaolan is not shy. It's strange to say that Xia Xiaolan is the most proud and charming girl Kang Wei has ever seen, but she grew up in the countryside, and she has the heartyness of a big girl in Beijing. No, she is not the same as a big girl in Beijing. Those little girls who speak clearly "you ya ya ya" outside, then twist and pretend to be ladies in front of Zhou Cheng. Xia Xiaolan is not like that. She has a hearty temperament, but is very polite.
Neither overbearing nor overbearing.
Suddenly a word popped up in Kang Wei's mind.
Is the little village girl not humble or overbearing?
He felt shocked that he wanted to drink a bowl of fish ball soup!
The two young men made things clear, and Liu Yong couldn't continue to intervene. Anyway, Zhou Cheng won't stay in Anqing County all the time. Sooner or later, he will get out, and Liu Yong will eat fish. A big herring of 18 catties was eaten cleanly by four people. Zhou Cheng said halfway through to smoke a cigarette. After returning, he had already settled the bill.
Now Liu Yong is embarrassed.
"It's not a big deal, it's the same for anyone who invites everyone, mainly because the people who have dinner together are happy!"
Zhou Cheng said very casually, he did not lack this little money.
However, in this era, it is rare for Zhou Cheng to be so generous to buy an egg with a carefully calculated consumption level. The waiters in the restaurant all looked at him secretly, thinking that this person from Beijing is really generous, if only she could target him!
However, seeing Xia Xiaolan, the waitress was not ashamed to say that she was better than Xia Xiaolan.
It's no use robbing someone else.
Leaving the hotel, Zhou Cheng asked Xia Xiaolan and Liu Yong what they were going to do next, do they need him to drive for a ride, Xia Xiaolan shook her head:
"I'm going to buy something. It's already delayed your day today, so I don't need to give it away."
Cars burn oil, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality. Xia Xiaolan has finally adapted to her 83-year life. She has not yet enjoyed the time to enjoy car pick-up and delivery. Zhou Cheng did not reluctantly, "Uncle and Xiaolan, take care of your safety when you go home. Kang Wei and I will stay in Anqing County for two more days. You can come to the guest house to find us when you enter the city."
In addition to calling Liu Yong "uncle", Zhou Cheng was not crooked at all, and really took Kang Wei and Xia Xiaolan away in two separate ways.
Liu Yong smiled, and when the two of them disappeared, he suddenly lowered his face:
"These two may be smuggling, licking the knife to make money in the business. It's not easy to say that when people lose money, Xiaolan, you must not look at the handsome boy and be fooled by his rhetoric."
Xia Xiaolan was not too surprised.
Zhou Cheng was wearing a Rolex and driving in the big east wind of the carriage welded by steel bars. This person still carried an indescribable evil spirit. It is not surprising that he was smuggling.
"Uncle, how did you tell?"
What is strange about Xia Xiaolan is that Liu Yong is a farmer who makes money by building houses and pigpens for people. How can he have such vision!
Uncle, are you really a bricklayer? Buying a new bicycle again, and having the confidence to help their mother and daughter... Is it enough to rely on the mason's wages?
Liu Yong smiled, Gu Zuo said:
"Your uncle is smart, what are you going to buy? Buy it early, let's go home early."
Xia Xiaolan did not continue questioning on the street, she and Liu Yong went to the department store. Anqing County relies on two large factories to support its economy. The department store in the county was originally small, and there were not many customers at this time. Liu Yong saw Xia Xiaolan walking towards the cloth and clothes counter, thinking she wanted to make new clothes.
Its okay for little girls to like to wear new clothes.
Liu Yong can still afford it for a few yuan per meter.
But when Xia Xiaolan walked to the counter, she pointed to the colorful schoolbag with a baby elephant and asked:
"Comrade, how much is this schoolbag?"
The salesperson was typing on sweaters, without raising his head: "10 yuan a piece, schoolbags from the Shanghai stock market are expensive."
"I want this, wrap it up for me!"
The salesperson was finally willing to take a look at Xia Xiaolan. She didn't care who bought the schoolbag, as long as she could get the money. Xia Xiaolan paid the money and said to Liu Yong: "Let's go, my aunt told us to go home for dinner earlier."
Liu Yong later realized, "You dont buy things for yourself? You bought the schoolbag for Taotao? Its too expensive... I think the canvas next to it is good. Alas, how can a kids schoolbag be bought? Your aunt said Sew him one with cloth!"
Liu Yong talked about the expense, and he felt comfortable in his heart.
Not because Xia Xiaolan took the money, but because Xia Xiaolan was sensible and knew she was thinking of her little cousin. The siblings are blood relatives, and the relatives are thinking about each other, and the days will get better and better in the future.
Liu Yong looked back at the monotonous cloth on the counter, resisted the urge to shop, and waited until he was alone to buy it.
When the two nephews returned to Qijing Village, Li Fengmei and Liu Fen had not yet returned. Liu Yong couldn't stay at home, so he ran to the field to help. Taotao was madly happy holding his new schoolbag, and kept asking: "Sister Xiaolan, is this for me? Is it really for me?"
Xia Xiaolan decided to cook first.
To tell the truth, the fish at noon told her to eat a little bit, and now it's time to do some work to digest.
She couldnt handle the heat of a large rural stove. Although she was poor in her last life, she cooked on a briquette stove when she was a teenager. Later, she had a gas stove. She had no experience in using a rural stovefortunately, she There is Taotao, don't look at the little cousin who is only six years old, he often sets fire to Li Fengmei to watch the stove.
With Taotao's help, Xia Xiaolan steamed the rice in a small iron pot. The steamed rice retort was cooked with white radish, and the remaining big pot was used for cooking.
Li Fengmei gave him half of a pair of pig livers. Xia Xiaolan, who was very hard-working, didn't dare to touch it, but besides pig livers, there were also crucian carp and loach at home. Killing loach is a technical job. There is a sticky liquid on the surface of the loach, which makes it slippery. Wash with hot salt water before killing... Xia Xiaolan was in a hurry, Taotao laughed at the slippery mud loach, and didn't show his cousin any face.
After finally tidying up the loach, Xia Xiaolan cooked the tofu in a hot pot with dried chili, slowly simmered with the lid, and went to tidy up the crucian carp.
The crucian carp is ready to pick up, pull some green onions behind the house, pinch some Huoxiang leaves, she can make a Huoxiang crucian.
When the people working in the fields came back, only the liver was left unfried.
"Xiaolan made all the food?"
In Anqing County Guest House, the protagonist of the conversation between Zhou Cheng and Kang Wei is also Xia Xiaolan.
