Chapter Ninety-Two: The Manager Comes to the Door
I didn't understand the meaning of the little son-in-law for a while, this person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was, but it was a guest at the door, and it was always right to entertain well.
So Zhao Cuiying, who had just come out of the house, hurriedly poured water with a cup, served tea and poured water for people, and when Tao Jun and Pan Zhiwen both served the teacups, Zhao Cuiying couldn't help but ask: "Which one is this, look at my memory, when people are old, they don't remember anything, and they can't remember which one they are familiar with." ”
Hearing this, Tao Jun grinned, and while taking a sip of the tea poured by his mother-in-law, he replied: "Mom, you really don't know this, it's just Manager Pan of the county cooperative, by the way, what about my dad?"
The manager of the cooperative, Zhao Cuiying really didn't know much, but when she heard this head, she also knew that he was a big official, and people always had the psychology of climbing high, as soon as she heard that Pan Zhiwen was a big official, Zhao Cuiying was not very calm, and hurriedly turned around and went to the drawer under the table to get a cigarette and prepare to greet the guests.
The first time he came to the door, Pan Zhiwen naturally didn't come empty-handed, so he naturally brought some things, and put them on the big table of the Guo family at this time.
While holding a cigarette, Zhao Cuiying did not forget to say to her son-in-law: "Your father is behind, you go and call him, there is a distinguished guest at home, shouldn't your father greet him personally?"
Tao Jun got the instructions, so he naturally walked towards the back stove with the cup, so he naturally wanted to go to the back and call his father-in-law.
Zhao Cuiying took out a pack of red gold dragons that had just been opened from the drawer, hurriedly took out the cigarettes, turned around and handed the cigarette case out, "Manager Pan, smoking, there are no good cigarettes at home, Manager Pan don't dislike it." ”
Zhao Cuiying's words are actually modest, at this time, many rural people smoke swimming and big cocks without filters, and the conditions of her family are better, so she can afford to smoke brands with filters such as Red Gold Dragon and Long Xiang.
Where did Pan Zhiwen dare not be polite, seeing Zhao Cuiying so busy greeting himself, he was worried in his heart.
"Auntie, don't be busy, I didn't bring you cigarettes to smoke, but I bothered you to bring me cigarettes. Saying that, Pan Zhiwen also felt embarrassed, hurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and hurriedly handed it to Zhao Cuiying.
Rural people at this time. Especially when you are older, both men and women generally smoke, so everyone is accustomed to smoking when they meet, and the more smoke they emit, the more polite and polite the person is.
Pan Zhiwen handed out the cigarette. However, he still took Zhao Cuiying's cigarette and put it directly in his mouth, so he could be regarded as receiving Zhao Cuiying's love.
Zhao Cuiying glanced at Pan Zhiwen's cigarette box, and saw that a yellow crane tower was painted on it, so she knew that this cigarette was not of the same grade as herself. So he took one from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth, and it was all etiquette to go back and forth.
Seeing that Zhao Cuiying took the cigarette, Pan Zhiwen hurriedly took another lighter out of his pocket, and after beating the fire, he stretched out directly to Zhao Cuiying, "Auntie, I'll light a cigarette for you." ”
At this time, rural people generally use matches, and lighters are also a new thing, although Zhao Cuiying is well-informed, she has never seen a lighter. For a while, he was still a little curious about the lighter in Pan Zhiwen's hand, but he didn't come out.
At the same time, Zhao Cuiying was still very proud of Pan Zhiwen's actions, seeing that the big manager who didn't have this hall lit a cigarette for her!
"How can I ask you to light a cigarette for me, I'll give you some light, by the way, what is the matter with Manager Pan coming to me today?"
Pan Zhiwen lit a cigarette for himself and took a puff. Only then did he reply embarrassedly: "Auntie is polite, what manager is not a manager, so I will serve a bowl of public food, and you still call me Xiao Pan." ”
Zhao Cuiying was confused. These officials in the countryside, all of them are the same size as sesame mung beans, and they still make people shout official positions, this Manager Pan is easy to talk to, and he is not allowed to shout official positions, but let him shout his surname, and he also brought a gift. It's kind of weird.
Without waiting for Zhao Cuiying to think about it, Tao Jun had already walked out from behind with Guo Xingwang, and the first thing Guo Xingwang did when he came out was to wash his hands in the washbasin, after all, making incense is also a dirty job, and it is somewhat impolite to receive guests with dirty hands.
When Guo Xingwang washed his hands, Pan Zhiwen had already handed over the previous Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes, "Uncle, smoke." ”
Guo Xingwang was not polite, took one out of the cigarette box, and as soon as he put it on his mouth, Pan Zhiwen lit it for him with a lighter.
"I don't know what happened to Manager Pan coming to our house?" Guo Xingwang asked after taking a puff of cigarette.
was asked by Guo Xingwang, Pan Zhiwen still didn't know how to speak, and Tao Jun on the side was clever.
"Dad, in fact, I brought Manager Pan over today because of the second sister's matter. Tao Jun took Guo Xingwang's words and replied.
Guo Xingwang and Zhao Cuiying glanced at each other, and wondered in their hearts, what is the matter with Guan Shuyun?
"Uncle, that's the case, a few days ago I went to the city to buy goods, and I happened to meet Shu Yun, and it was not easy to see that she was dragging a lot of cloth by a woman, so I took her for a ride, but I heard that she was a woman with a daughter to live, which was not easy. Pan Zhiwen took over the conversation and replied, "Although I am a little older, I have never started a family, this time I saw Shu Yun, I felt that she was a good person, and I wanted to live with her." ”
Guo Xingwang and Zhao Cuiying were stunned all of a sudden, looking at Pan Zhiwen from the outside, he was really not young, and he was not worthy of his daughter.
After being stunned for a long time, Zhao Cuiying found her voice and asked aloud: "You are so old, why are you not married?"
Of course, Zhao Cuiying didn't ask this, but looking at Pan Zhiwen's appearance, she was a hundred unwilling in her heart, this person looked like she was thirty or forty, but her daughter was only in her twenties, although she was divorced, it was not big, this man was more than ten years older than her daughter at first glance.
Pan Zhiwen was embarrassed to be asked, he didn't mean not to get married at such an old age, mainly because of family reasons, and of course, there were also his own picky reasons.
To say that this Pan Zhiwen is also a capable person, he has no father since he was a child, he has always been a widowed mother with him and his younger brother, in those difficult years, it is not easy for a widowed mother to raise him and his younger brother, and when he is a little older, his brother will take over his father, not only to take care of his mother but also to take care of his younger brother, and he will delay himself when he comes and goes.
As for saying that he is picky, that is also true, don't look at Pan Zhiwen's appearance, but he is a clever person, he became a company commander in the village when he was more than ten years old, and he became a team secretary before he was twenty years old, and a team secretary was in charge of almost half of the county's affairs, but it was said that many township chiefs had more authority than later.
