Chapter 7, the tangled dinner

Seventh, tangled dinner

One

After meeting Lan Xiaohua, Zhang Jiayong has been reminiscing, this Lan Xiaohua is so interesting, it feels like he has seen it somewhere.

Oh, come to think of it, it's a bit like Ernier in that Avenue of Fame, by the way, even the sound is a bit like it.

I used to hear people say, "Mizhi's mother-in-law Suide's man", but now I understand it.

The blue flower has a little northern Shaanxi flavor of Mandarin, which is soft and soft, and it makes men feel intoxicated when they listen to it.

Especially the good dishes made by Lan Xiaohua made Zhang Jiayong's teeth and cheeks fragrant, and now there seems to be an endless aftertaste in his mouth.

Zhang Jiayong has always disliked eating in restaurants outside, so he likes to eat at home, it doesn't matter what he eats, he can nibble on cakes.

Every time he finished eating out, Zhang Jiayong felt unbearably thirsty, and when he came back, he had to drink a lot of water, and his stomach would be uncomfortable for several days, and he felt indigestion. When possible, he tries not to eat out. Every time he socializes, he feels like a year, he doesn't want to eat anything, and he looks forward to the end of the banquet soon.

Two

Zhang Jiayong and Huibei had a child, a tiger-headed son, and they began to get busy.

In the morning, she took the commuter bus in the factory early, did not go home at noon, ate in the factory canteen, and then took the commuter bus home in the evening, and when she returned home, it was already very late.

Zhang Jiayong is a man with two children, and he is very busy.

When I get up in the morning, I have to cook food for the children, and then call the children up, get dressed, wash, urinate and urinate, eat the big ones, and watch the small ones. Busy and busy, when the time comes, hurry up and ride a bicycle, one after the other, carry two children, a kindergarten, a primary school, send the children to kindergartens, schools, and then hurry up to ride a bicycle to the unit to work, at that time, there is no electric car, private cars are also rare. Bicycles are Zhang Jiayong's main means of transportation.

The most tangled at noon, there was no small dining table earlier, the childcare center or something, the children were taken home by their parents at noon, and they cooked for the children, Zhang Jiayong got off work at noon, and hurriedly rode a bicycle to the school to pick up his daughter, two hours at noon, and he had to count the time, otherwise the child was either late, or he was late.

Fortunately, the son in the kindergarten does not have to pick up at noon, otherwise there will not be enough time at all.

When I returned home at noon, I was about to poke the stove, at that time there was no gas stove, and there was no natural gas, all of them were coal stoves, and the coal was pressed before going out in the morning, and then poked open at noon, and the luck was better, the fire came up immediately, and I could cook quickly, and if I was unlucky, the fire was not prosperous, and it was troublesome, the adults were okay, the children were hungry, waiting for dinner, and they were in a hurry, and the meal was finally good, and the fire was good.

After eating at noon, the child has to rest for a while, and Zhang Jiayong can't rest.

I went out in the morning, and I was in a hurry. The quilt was not folded, the clothes were thrown in a mess, the house was not cleaned up, and the pots and pans that were eaten at noon and in the morning had to be washed.

It was six o'clock in the afternoon, and the daughter was out of school at four o'clock, the daughter was very well-behaved, and knew that her father was not easy, after school, she played with her classmates at the school gate, waiting for her father to pick her up, at that time, the security at the school gate was fine, and the traffickers were not arrogant enough to go to the school gate to grab the child.

I went to the kindergarten to pick up my son, my son's kindergarten was already empty, and the children were all picked up by their parents, so my son was alone, honestly staying in the kindergarten gatehouse, waiting for my father to pick him up.

I picked up my children from work, and I couldn't go home immediately, I had to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and I had to buy all the dishes for the next day, as well as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar or something, nothing less, the vegetable market was closed after dark, I went late, there was nothing, unlike now, the big supermarkets had vegetables, closed late, after dinner, I easily went to the supermarket to buy vegetables, and there was a possibility of discounts.

When he was finally able to go home, Zhang Jiayong was happy, and the children were also happy, vying to talk to his father and tell stories from school and kindergarten, which made Zhang Jiayong very happy and had a sense of accomplishment.

The son is sitting on the bicycle girder, and the daughter is on the back frame of the bicycle with a basket in front of the handlebar for tomorrow's vegetables and a little snack for the kids.

This kind of life is tightly tense.

This is still normal.

Three

If someone comes to the unit and comes down from above to check, it will be troublesome.

At that time, the top came down to inspect, no matter whether the official was big or small, the bottom had to be received, this was etiquette. Unlike now, Xi Jinping's new policy, clean government, no longer eat, everyone is convenient.

There are often people coming from above, and people who come have to be received, and the meal is always eaten, and no one can go out with pots and pans.

There are also people who like to drink, this Zhang Jiayong is miserable, he drinks with him, and some drink until midnight, and it is not uncommon to drink until the early hours of the morning.

I don't know if others like to socialize, anyway, Zhang Jiayong is annoyed. Not only do I not like to smoke and drink, but I can't afford to pay for it.

The unit comes, the reception, the secretary must be duty-bound, to contact the restaurant, book a table at noon, this is easy to do, just make a phone call.

"The leaders have been busy all morning, hard work, please go and sit down at noon."

When I got to the restaurant, I sat down in order and felt that there was one less person.

Leader: "What about the secretary?"

Office Director: "Oh, I picked up the kids,"

The leader's face is a little unsightly, and the office director is a woman.

Men who really drink alcohol are disdainful of drinking with women, and they are not happy.

Leader: "No one to drink?"

The secretary came back, hurriedly, sweating: "It's late, it's late, the leaders have worked hard, I'll punish myself!"

Hey, the secretary is still with the children, Huo, why are there still two children?

The two children are still young, and they can't tell the difference between public meals and private meals, looking at a table of good dishes, the children's eyes are about to come out, and they are hungry all morning.

"Children, sit down!" The leader is very considerate of his subordinates.

Zhang Jiayong's two children are used to this kind of occasion, and their father said that they can't eat in the restaurant, because there are insects in the restaurant, which is the kind of white flowers.

When a child eats a worm, he wants to bite the intestines in his belly.

You can't eat here, you can only use your fingers.

The restaurant owner couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked the waiter to bring out the food and let the children eat, "Zhang Mi, this is my personal invitation, it's free." ”

Where did Zhang Mi dare to let the children eat: "Immediately, immediately, go home and eat in a while."

There are children watching next to them, how to eat this meal, how to drink wine?

The leaders were not interested, ate briefly for a while, and went back to the hotel to rest.

Zhang Jiayong hurriedly took the children home for dinner.

And then.......

The leaders are very unhappy: Isn't this giving us eye medicine?

What about this Zhang Jiayong? What about his family? He can't send his children to his parents?

Four

Zhang Jiayong's parents and him are in a family home, front and back, bungalow.

My father was of high enough standards to live in five large houses.

The parents love their youngest son the most, that is, Zhang Jiayong's little brother, most of the parents are like this, and it hurts down.

The little brother is getting married, and the new house is in his parents' house, the innermost two, and he plans to rely on the little brother to support his old age in the future.

On the day of the wedding, the bride and her family were in the new house.

The ceremony was prepared, and three cannons rang out, but the bride did not come out.

Oh, this is a gift money, understand, we understand.

Zhang's mother hurriedly stuffed a big red envelope under the door of the new house.

There was no movement, ah, understood, another big one!

Still didn't come out?

Zhang's mother is a little nervous, the time is about to come, relatives and friends are waiting for the banquet, rummaging through the pockets, it's okay, stuff it again.

It's not in my pocket.

"Whoever has money in his pocket, take it out"!!

The relatives of the Zhang family hurriedly took out the money.

There was still no movement, and Zhang's mother was dumbfounded.

Zhang Jiayong is the eldest at home, and when he is the eldest brother, he sees that his mother is anxious, and his stomach is bulging.

There was a fire in his heart: "If you don't come out again, I'll slam the door!" he rushed out as he spoke, raising his foot to kick the door of the new house.

The old mother hugged Zhang Jiayong tightly: "No, it's a big day!!

The door opened, and the bride and her family came out with their heads bowed and straight faces.

The feud was also formed.

My little brother and daughter-in-law live at their parents' house and eat with them.

Zhang Jiayong usually doesn't go back to his parents' house for dinner, and since he lives alone, he doesn't want to trouble his parents anymore.

There is no way around it today.

In the past few days, the face of the office director has become more and more ugly, and the manager is not happy.

It's too busy to get two children.

Today at noon, it's a little late, let's go back to my parents' house for dinner: "Mom, I'll come back for dinner!"

The children shouted, "Grandma!" and "Grandma!"

Mother: "Shhh

When the meal was ready, my mother went to my brother's room and called my brother-in-law to come out for dinner.

The younger brother and daughter-in-law came out sleepy-eyed, and when they saw the eldest brother coming to eat with the two children, their faces turned gloomy: "Mom, I'm not hungry, I'm not eating!" turned his head back to the room and continued to sleep.

My mother's face also darkened: "Your brother-in-law is at work, she is tired for a day, and she doesn't eat at noon, how can she do it!"

My mother went to call my brother-in-law out for dinner again.

No matter how my mother shouted, my brother and daughter-in-law just didn't come out to eat.

"I don't care about them, why do you love them. Zhang Jiayong was indignant: "I ate my mother's, not hers!"

The next day, at noon, Zhang Jiayong took the children back to his mother's house again.

The old mother did not let them into the house, but sighed: "Yong, you better go back to your own house for dinner, right?"

Zhang Jiayong was stunned, and after a while, he took the child and turned around and left.

The mother chased out, her eyes full of tears: "Your brother has no interest, it is not easy to find a daughter-in-law, or you pay some food expenses?

Zhang Jiayong was furious: "I eat my own father and mother, the child is your grandchild, why?"

Zhang Jiayong's tears welled up in his eyes, he tried to restrain himself, his hands trembled, he took out the money and gave it to the children: "Go, buy cool skin!"

The children didn't understand what the adults were doing, so they looked at their grandmother and their father, and they hesitated and refused to move.

Zhang Jiayong gave his daughter a hard kick: "Get out!

The two children ran away.

Zhang Jiayong felt that he was about to go crazy.

After Liang Xiaohan came, the problem of eating was much better.
