Chapter 57: Going to the Restaurant
And Rao Di waited for a long time, thinking that Taotao was unwilling to shake hands with him, so he retracted his hand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Nana was very open, and soon got into a fight with Rao Di, and Tao Tao followed behind Nana and Rao Di, playing the role of a follower for the first time.
Rao Di took the siblings to her room to play, and she took out all the toys, copycat Barbie dolls, plasticine, hula hoops, etc.
These girls' toys are endlessly attractive to Nana, especially the copycat version of Barbie, there are many clothes that can be changed, which is an eye-opener for Nana, and as a boy, Tao Tao looks at these girls' toys, not interested at all, the only thing that catches his attention is the green hula hoop.
In that era when the whole people shook the hula hoop and the hula movement was all over the streets and alleys, Tao Tao also dreamed of having his own hula hoop, but as he grew up, when he reached the second grade, he gave up the hula hoop, because he felt that it was something for girls to play with, and boys should play with some knives, guns, sticks and the like.
The three children were having a lot of fun, and suddenly Rao Di sneezed, and the snot went directly from the nose into the mouth, just when Tao Tao and Nana were busy looking for a mouth cloth for Rao Di, Rao Di stretched out his long tongue, rolled up, and licked the nose near the nose and mouth, and then rolled it into his mouth and ate it.
Tao Tao next to him was dumbfounded, thinking to himself how could such a beautiful and clean little girl eat snot.
However, after all, Rao Di was only a five or six-year-old child, and she smiled happily and said to Taotao: "The snot is delicious, salty." ”
Hearing this, Tao Tao looked at Rao Di with wide eyes, his face dazed.
Seeing that Taotao didn't speak, Rao Di continued: "If you don't eat, I'll sneeze and give you something to eat." ”
Hearing that Rao Di was going to eat snot for himself, Tao Tao hurriedly retreated, shook his head and said, "I don't eat it." ”
Dongmei sat on the sofa, drank tea and said: "Wei Guo is usually on the mountain, and he can't come to your house, so he finally came back this time and came to your house to sit." ”
Rao Li smiled and said, "I'm here, why are you carrying these things? ”
Wei Guo, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly opened the things he brought and said: "I didn't mention anything, they are all things from our hometown, dry spicy noodles and old vinegar, and they are fragrant when cooking." ”
Dongmei took out the insoles for Rao Li and his wife and the flower cloth shoes made for Rao Di and said: "I am a family member, and I have nothing to do at home for a day, so I bought a few pairs of insoles for you and made a pair of flower cloth shoes for Rao Di, you can try it, whether it is suitable or not." ”
Mr. and Mrs. Rao Li happily took the insole, tried it on their feet, and by the way, they also called out Rao Di in the room and asked her to try on these flower cloth shoes.
While trying on their feet, Mr. and Mrs. Raoli praised Dongmei's good craftsmanship.
Rao Di, who is usually used to wearing leather shoes and sneakers, holds the flower cloth shoes made by Dongmei, and he can't put it down, and immediately wears it on his feet at home.
After sitting for a while, Dongmei felt that the time was almost up, and hurriedly stood up to say goodbye to Raoli and his wife.
The enthusiastic Raoli couple grabbed Dongmei and Weiguo and said, "It's not easy to come here, it's time to eat soon, let's go after eating." ”
Dongmei and Wei Guo hurriedly refused: "We are such a big family, it is too troublesome for you to eat at your house, and the two children are disobedient and can't make trouble." Next time, I will definitely stay next time. ”
Dongmei shirked, and called the two children in the house to come out and prepare to say goodbye.
Rao Li and his wife pressed the Dongmei couple who stood up and sat on the sofa again and said, "What's the trouble, let's just go to the restaurant and go to the Tong Ji Restaurant at the entrance of the base." ”
Dongmei is no stranger to the three words "lower restaurant", because these three words became popular only a few months ago, compared with the previous canteen to eat, lower restaurant is more fashionable and face-saving.
Since the great Deng Xiaoping's southern tour, the ideological foundation has been laid for the development of China's socialist market economy with special characteristics, and another round of reform and opening up has been set off.
The private economy is slowly becoming active, and Tong Kee Restaurant is a newly opened private restaurant at the entrance of the base, and it is also the only private restaurant.
Dongmei can understand the restaurant, but she doesn't understand the word "restaurant", she thinks that the restaurant only sells wine, but she doesn't know that the restaurant not only sells wine, but also sells noodles, fried vegetables, etc., she declined the kindness of Rao Li and his wife: "Thank you, Tong Ji Restaurant won't go, I and Wei Guo can't drink." ”
Rao Li was rejected and laughed: "Who said that you have to drink wine when you go to the restaurant, we Guanzhong people love to eat noodles, the fried noodles sold in their restaurant are very delicious, and there is an egg on it, you will know if you go to eat it once." ”
After listening to Rao Li's words, Dongmei had a new understanding of the word "restaurant", but she still refused, she felt that it was good to eat at home, and it was too luxurious and wasteful to go out to eat.
But the enthusiasm of the Raoli couple could not be extinguished, they invited again and again, and finally captured Weiguo, and then under the strong attack of Weiguo and Raoli and his wife, they finally persuaded Dongmei.
Along the way, the two families walked happily downward.
And the three children ran even faster, they ran all the way, and under the guidance of Raoli, they soon came to a place not far from Tong Ji Restaurant.
Longdong in spring, warm and cold at first, although the overall temperature has risen, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is still very large, not far away from the stinky ditch is still frozen.
Four adults were walking in the back, and three children were already playing.
Rao Di ran to the side of the stinky ditch, leaned down, picked a thin piece of ice, and said to Taotao and Nana, "Come here, there is still ice here." ”
Tao Tao and Nana ran over to look at the ice curiously.
Rao Di took the thin ice in his hand and looked at it, then stretched out his tongue and licked it, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, and said to Taotao and Nana: "This ice is delicious, better than popsicles, popsicles are sweet, this ice is salty." ”
Tao Tao was shocked again when he saw Rao Di eating ice in the stinky ditch, and he thought to himself that this beautiful little girl must be very fond of salty things, otherwise how could she eat snot and stinky ditch ice again.
Just as Tao Tao was thinking for a moment, Nana had already taken the thin ice handed over by Rao Di and ate it.
Tao Tao hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but it was too late, and the two little girls enjoyed eating the thin ice in their hands.
Seven people from two families sat down around a large table, and the waiter poured tea for everyone, which was very warm and thoughtful.
After Dongmei's teacup was filled with water, she politely thanked the waiter.
And the waiter also smiled and replied, no thanks.
Dong Mei sighed: "This privately opened restaurant is different from the public canteen. The waiter didn't say anything with a smile, but was very polite and polite, unlike going to the public canteen, the waiter always lost his face, his attitude was extremely bad, and eating a meal was like eating their meal. ”
Rao Li agreed with Dongmei's words: "I think the state is right to encourage the development of a market economy, and this private restaurant will eliminate the public canteen sooner or later. Deng Xiaoping said it well, whether there is more planning or more market is not the essential difference between socialism and capitalism. The key to reform and opening up is to be bolder, seize the opportunity, and develop ourselves, and the key lies in developing the economy. Development is the last word. ”
Wei Guo admired Rao Li and said: "The section chief is the section chief, Deng Xiaoping's words are remembered so clearly, and they are powerful." ”
In fact, in addition to Raoli, Wei Guo is also a loyal fan of Deng Xiaoping, and he feels that under the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Thought, the great motherland will certainly get better and better, and its development will be faster and faster.
Rao Li continued to repeat Deng Xiaoping's words: "Compared with capitalism, it is better for us to be socialist. Deng Xiaoping said that the essence of socialism is to emancipate the productive forces, develop the productive forces, eliminate exploitation, eliminate polarization, and ultimately achieve common prosperity. ”
After listening to Rao Li's words, Dongmei clapped her hands and said: "Finally achieve common prosperity, which means that one day, we and Weiguo can also live in a building." ”
Rao Li nodded and said, "Yes, one day, not only my family, but all of us will be able to live upstairs." ”
After listening to Rao Li's words, Dongmei instantly felt that the future was bright.
The chow mein was served quickly.
This is the first time Dongmei has eaten fried noodles, she was said by Rao Li to say the miraculous fried noodles, while eating carefully research, found that fried noodles are actually fried noodles with some vegetables, and then cover it with a fried egg.
Dongmei's brain suddenly opened up, and she had an idea in her mind, why don't she open a noodle restaurant, she can make it herself, and she can pull the spicy strips better and fry the eggs more beautifully.
The only drawback is that I don't know what seasoning the chef has put in the fried noodles to make the fried noodles so fragrant and delicious.
In fact, the chef only put one more seasoning than the phenomenon of winter plum, and that is chicken essence.
On the way back, before I knew it, man and man, woman and woman walked together.
Dongmei and Zhang Li walked together unhurriedly, Dongmei looked at Zhang Li enviously and said, "I really envy you, but I have found a good husband." ”
Zhang Li smiled and said: "Why does everyone say that Rao Li is good, but why do I feel average." ”
Dongmei said: "You are really in the blessing and don't know the blessing." ”
Zhang Li listened to it and said with a smile: "Okay, even if Raoli is a good man, but to be honest, I almost missed Raoli." ”
When Dongmei heard this, she felt very incredible, and she hurriedly asked, "Why did you almost miss it?" ”
Zhang Li told Dongmei the ins and outs of her relationship with Rao.
At the beginning of the semester, because of Zhang Li's outstanding appearance, there were many people who introduced her objects, among which Rao Li and a Northeast guy Wang Gang were the most enthusiastic about her.
Rao Li of that meeting had just graduated from school, and Raoli, who was born in the countryside, had a strong local atmosphere, no matter in terms of height and appearance, or conversation, he was not on the same level as Wang Gang.
Wang Gang is a son of Daqing Oilfield, and came to Changqing after graduation, Wang Gang, who was born in the working class, has long thick eyebrows and big eyes, and straight black hair, which is pierced on his head like a steel needle, and looks very energetic.
Hearing this, Dongmei asked with concern: "I think you must have taken a fancy to Wang Gang at that time." ”
Zhang Li laughed and said: "That will be a little girl, of course I was attracted by Wang Gang's appearance, and I am a bit of a nymphomaniac to Wang Gang. ”
Dongmei said: "Then how did you let Rao Li "succeed" in the end?"
Zhang Li said: "When the meeting was about to be negotiated with Wang Gang, the unit suddenly issued an order to send some technical personnel to Xinjiang to take the lead, and Wang Gang happened to be on the list. ”
Dongmei smiled and said: "Then I know, it must be in the window period of feelings, Rao Li took advantage of the void and touched your heart." ”
Zhang Li said: "In fact, Raoli has no adult beauty, but I can't accept the separation of the two places, so I finally chose Raoli to work in the logistics agency." ”
Dongmei asked tentatively: "Such a handsome Wang Gang didn't have a choice, but chose Raoli, have you ever regretted it?" ”
Zhang Li said affirmatively: "To be honest, there really isn't, after I got married to Raoli, I had a smooth life, my life was prosperous, and I was very happy every day." ”
Dongmei sighed: "The matter of emotional marriage, I really can't say it, maybe marriage is arranged by God, we can't run away, we can't ask for it." ”
Zhang Li very much agreed with Dongmei's opinion and said: "Yes. Raoli's child and I are almost six years old, but I heard that Wang Gang not only has no children, but is also divorced. ”
Hearing this, Dongmei hurriedly praised Zhang Li and said, "Your choice is really correct." ”
Zhang Li said: "Yes." If Wang Gang had been chosen, maybe I would have been the one who would have divorced. ”
Dongmei nodded silently.
When they were about to part, Zhang Li quietly leaned on the side of Dongmei's ear and said to her: "Dongmei, what I told you just now, don't keep it secret for me, don't tell Raoli." ”
Dongmei agreed to Zhang Li knowingly: "Sister's private affairs, I must keep my mouth shut for you." ”
Back in the tin house, before the buttocks were hot, Guo Lanying rushed in.
Dongmei poured Guo Lanying a glass of water and said, "Look at you nervous, what's the matter?"
Guo Lanying didn't speak, took Dongmei's hand and walked out.
Dongmei followed Guo Lanying out, thinking in her heart, what kind of mysterious thing is this Guo Lanying doing, every time she pulls people out without saying a word.
