Jiang Feng cheered up and prepared to listen to the story.

This kind of warm moment when the old people reminisce about the past and talk about the past is a good time for their juniors to eat melons, and they can't interject anyway.

The dishes on the table were all withdrawn, and Xu Cheng also played a little hard, simple, diligent and thrifty, in line with the core values of socialism, and packed the remaining straw mushrooms, steamed chicken and white fungus stewed vegetarian.

All the ingredients for this table of swallow wing seats are provided by Xu Cheng, and in a sense, it can be said that Boss Xu is a treat.

After the dishes were removed, the waiter served one more almond tea per head, and then served two plates of dim sum. Jiang Feng originally didn't plan to eat it anymore, and his current condition was light when the food blocked his throat. He felt that his stomach had just undergone a physical experiment, and he had an empty stomach, first adding some bird's nest shark fin stock to the bottom, then stuffing abalone and sea cucumber to fill the middle and lower parts, then adding chicken, duck, fish and vegetables to fill it, and finally filling the gap with soup.

Jiang Feng proved to everyone with practical actions that stomach capacity is like water in a sponge, and there will always be squeezing.

When Jiang Feng saw the almond tea, he felt that the sponge was dry, and when Peng Changping told Jiang Feng that the almond tea was made by him before, Jiang Feng felt that he could actually squeeze some more water out of the sponge.

Jiang Feng struggled to pick up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of almond tea full of raisins, sesame seeds, and crushed peanuts, and took the first bite.

Second bite.

The third bite.

……

The bowl of almond tea is not big, but it is definitely not small, Jiang Feng originally only wanted to eat a few bites to taste the taste, but as a result, dessert was all eaten and eaten, and unconsciously, his stomach was not a little guarded.

Zhang Zhiyun watched Jiang Feng, who had already been pushed out of the battlefield, start fighting again, alive and vigorous, with an amazing stomach capacity, he was greatly surprised and admired, and sighed: "Brother Feng, you can really eat." ”

Jiang Feng nodded in a low-key manner, he didn't dare to open his mouth.

You can't open your mouth, and the food will fall.

Also, my stomach hurts a little.

He doesn't overeat anymore.

Peng Changping cooked.

Just when Jiang Feng was overeating, Zhang Chu's story process had detached itself from reality and began to develop towards a magical plot.

After Zhang Chu and Cao Guixiang went to the countryside, Cao Guixiang's cooking skills were useless, but Zhang Chu's carpenter skills were shining. With this skill, Zhang Chu helped the secretary repair the table today, helped the accountant repair the chair tomorrow, repaired the gate of the barn in the village the day after tomorrow, repaired the fence of the captain's house the day after tomorrow, and gave the village only to play with mud, cut pigweed and dig wild vegetables The children used rotten wood to make some simple wooden toys that would break in two days.

Since then, Zhang Chu has lived a cool life with the least work and the most work, although he was faintly squeezed out by other educated youths, but he had a wife, what was he afraid of, and even Cao Guixiang had the most leisurely job watching the barn.

"If it weren't for the fact that my education level was too low, I would have forgotten all the words after graduating from primary school, and I wouldn't have been able to write a few words, maybe I would have been recommended to go to college as a worker, peasant and soldier!" Zhang Chu said and bragged.

Jiang Feng: ......

"Then why didn't you come back when the educated youth returned to the city?" asked Peng Changping.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chu's face changed, and after thinking about it, he said: "Not yet...... It doesn't matter. ”

In that year, Cao Guixiang resigned and went to the countryside, and the street office arranged a job as a temporary worker sweeping the street for Cao Guixiang's younger brother in order to compensate Cao Guixiang's family. Cao Guixiang's parents may really feel guilty in their hearts and want to make amends, the first two years were not bad, and they sent Cao Guixiang some good things that could not be bought in the countryside every few months.

But guilt is something that quickly dissipates over time.

The correspondence between Cao Guixiang and her family became less and less, and even if Cao Guixiang took the initiative to write letters, the replies she received were often only perfunctory and few, and the longest reply she received was when Cao Guixiang wrote to tell them that she was going to marry Zhang Chu in the countryside.

It was a fiercely reprimanded letter, in stark contrast to the letters of blessing and gifts sent by Peng Changping and others.

You must know that Qin Guisheng spent most of his salary that year and spent a lot of money to go to the department store to buy the most expensive dress he could afford to buy more expensive than a watch and send it to Cao Guixiang as a wedding gift - he was already married at that time, and his wife was not Amin.

And Cao Guixiang and Zhang Chu's parents didn't even send a single piece of brown sugar.

Since then, Cao Guixiang and her family have basically lost communication.

Later, the educated youth returned to the city, although Zhang Chu was very prosperous in the village, but he had no relationship in the city. At that time, Zhang Chiyuan and Zhang Siyu had already been born, and Cao Guixiang originally wanted to go back to Beiping to make it much easier for children to go to school, but the letter sent was lost in the sea and there was no response.

Even their biological parents refused to help, Peng Changping and Qin Guisheng's families also had relatives who were in a hurry to return to the city, everyone wanted to find a relationship, and everyone lacked a relationship. Cao Guixiang didn't want to write a letter specifically to trouble her senior brother and senior brother, so she stayed in the village with Zhang Chu and did not do everything possible to find a relationship like other educated youths, even if she abandoned her wife and children, she had to return to the city.

Or Zhang Chu is lucky, or it may be that the branch secretary and the accountant have broken too many tables, chairs and cabinets over the years, and they owe Zhang Chu too much favors. When Cao Guixiang and Zhang Chu were in the village for less than two years, the branch secretary and the accountant helped Zhang Chu find a job as a carpenter in the county town.

After Zhang Chu's family moved to the county seat, Zhang Chu worked as a carpenter, and Cao Guixiang also picked up his old business and went to work as a chef in a newly opened restaurant in the county. With Cao Guixiang's help, it took only half a year for that restaurant to defeat the only state-run restaurant in the county, which swept the county and became a legend for a time.

When Zhang Chu said this, Xu Cheng also interjected two sentences with a shocked face, he had heard the legend of this shop when he traveled around the world in the early years to find a small shop hidden in the people, this shop was only prosperous for a few years, and the owner suddenly closed down to do other business, which made him very regretful for a while.

Then Zhang Chu told him that the boss changed jobs because Zhang Chiyuan was going to elementary school, and their family moved to the city, and Cao Guixiang resigned and quit. Cao Guixiang's former boss is quite good, in order to thank Cao Guixiang for helping him earn money in the past few years and making him a mysterious legend, half of the money that Zhang Chu's family went to the city to buy a house was from Cao Guixiang's boss, and the remaining half was the salary saved by Cao Guixiang, and Zhang Chu's savings over the years were enough to buy some furniture for a simple decoration.

At this point in the story, no matter how you listen to it, it is the story of the rise of a generation of restaurant tycoons.

Then Cao Guixiang became a full-time wife.

One is that there are two children in the family, Cao Guixiang deeply feels that the brother and sister have neither carpentry talent nor cooking talent, and they are afraid that they will starve to death in the future, and only the way out is to study: the other is because she is not an ambitious person.

With Cao Guixiang's craftsmanship, even if you go to the night market to set up a stall to sell Malatang, you can sell it as the queen of Malatang in a short period of time, and then open a store, open a chain, become bigger and stronger, and finally open a restaurant. Even if she doesn't want to start a business, she can choose from major restaurants across the country with her skills, and she can go wherever she wants, and no matter which one she wants, she will be given the best chef treatment.

But she didn't.

The magnificent story of Cao Guixiang and Zhang Chu came to an abrupt end when it progressed to the city.

Zhang Chu continued to be his carpenter, and became famous, and then retired smoothly as the carpenter industry gradually became scarce, and became an old man who drank tea and played chess every day with his grandchildren.

Cao Guixiang has become an ordinary housewife, buying vegetables, cooking, dancing, chatting and drinking tea every day, and from time to time shopping and climbing with other housewives.

may be because there is a period of life in their lives that is too exciting and bumpy, and they can't choose, so when it comes time to choose, they invariably choose the most insipid and ordinary way of life.

Do not seek to fly and flourish, splash the sky and be rich, but to seek firewood, rice, oil and salt, family and people.

If it weren't for Peng Changping returning to China and Zhang Chu coming to see Peng Changping, maybe Zhang Zhiyun would never know in his life that his seemingly ordinary grandparents had such a wonderful life.

Zhang Zhiyun is already completely stupid, and Jiang Feng is also stupid.

I don't know why, he actually had an inexplicable feeling of relief when he heard Zhang Chu talk about this.

Peng Changping was also relieved, what he and Qin Guisheng were most worried about in the years when they lost contact with Cao Guixiang was that his little junior sister was not doing well in China, and his life was unsatisfactory and he had no relatives to support. Now that he knew that she lived a happy life like every normal and happy old lady, he had nothing to regret.

"That'...... Senior sister, how did she go?" Peng Changping asked the most critical question.

Zhang Chu's eyes darkened: "Bad luck, when I went to buy vegetables in the morning, I crossed the road, and there was a big truck speeding, and the person was gone on the spot." It's okay that there's no pain. ”

Peng Changping sighed.

Cao Guixiang's story is over.

Jiang Feng's side quest is not over yet.

He listened to Zhang Chu talk so much just now, and he was stunned when he heard it with Zhang Zhiyun, but he didn't understand why Zhang Chu felt that it was a pity that he couldn't invite Peng Changping to eat a meal with the taste of Shunhe Lou in Shunhe Building.

He thinks it's a wedding reception, but the game tells him it's not.

What's wrong?

What else is missing?
