Chapter 048: A smile like a flower
Although the results are not good for the time being, the dust will not be discouraged, and he will definitely redouble his efforts in the future.
Even if the results have been bad, I will go all out to strive for better, better and better, until the book is finished!
************
Although Lao Fan loves wine, he is not greedy for small gains.
Therefore, seeing that half of the bottle was gone, he pressed Zhou Xiaoyan's father's hand and refused to pour any more wine: "Old Zhou, we came to the city this time, mainly to see my second son Jiuliang, who works in Baile Bath City north of your steamed bun shop." I am very happy to see the people of our Shili Town here, but I didn't expect my youngest son Baliang and your daughter Xiaoyan to be classmates. I have received all your wishes. I can't drink this wine anymore. β
It is estimated that when the family enters the city, there must be something to do, and Lao Zhou no longer insists, so he turned his head and asked his daughter Zhou Xiaoyan to come out to send off the guests.
When Zhou Xiaoyan came out, she naturally looked at Fan Jianqiang at first glance, and then said to Lao Fan with a smile: "Uncle Fan, are you leaving?" I'm in the back kitchen and I'm going to get some food for you to take home. Why don't you wait a little longer, okay? β
It's not a special relationship in itself, and now it's more than a relative, Fan Jianqiang can't accept it, and it's hard to say it in front of the second elder, so he quietly walked behind Zhou Xiaoyan and said softly: "I understand your enthusiasm, don't make our family look like you came out to ask for food." Also, this food and wine moneyβ"
Fan Jianqiang means that the money for food and wine must also be collected.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaoyan immediately turned around and glared at Fan Jianqiang defiantly: "You are really stinky and beautiful, right?" β
Fan Qiang suddenly felt embarrassed and wanted to have a seizure, but he looked at Lao Zhou, who was smiling on the side, and could only hold back.
Seeing Fan Jianqiang's situation, Zhou Xiaoyan couldn't help but smile and said again: "Actually, I know what you want to say." Don't worry, I will definitely collect this food and wine money. However, I want to treat it differently. Uncle Fan, they are from our Shili Town, the villagers, eat a little steamed buns, drink a little wine, they really have to collect money, and our Zhou family will be looked down upon. But what you eat and drink, I'll definitely takeβ"
This is obviously a joke of the child's family, which naturally attracted Lao Fan and Lao Zhou to laugh for a while.
Zhou Xiaoyan laughed out loud and said to Lao Fan: "Uncle Fan, you don't know, when I was studying in Shili Town Middle School, I was so good to your family." But what about him now? He didn't recognize me as an old classmate at all, and he bullied me a few days ago, do you think he is angry or not? β
Fan Jianqiang turned sideways, didn't look at Zhou Xiaoyan, only looked at the door of the store, and thought: Good men don't fight with women, for the sake of you Zhou Xiaoyan Although you are a knife mouth, but your heart is not bad, give you face today, you can bear it.
When it was time to part, Yijin was about to pay for it, Zhou Xiaoyan stepped forward and pressed it, and said dissatisfied: "Brother Yijin, aren't you slapping our Zhou family in the face?" My dad will scold me to death. In the future, if you invite me to your house for dinner, will you also let me pay for it? β
So, everyone laughed.
On the way back to Baile Bath City, Jiuliang was next to Fan Jianqiang's shoulder: "Baliang, your female classmate, it's really atmospheric!" By the way, why didn't you ask her just now, if I go to their shop to eat steamed buns in the future, will they charge me money-"
A pound came up from behind, pushed Jiu Liang's shoulder, and said, "Jiu Liang, don't make a mistake." Whether people collect money or not, it all depends on the face of eight taels, that is called hospitality, don't you have a bad idea, do you hear? β
Nine Liang said to himself as he walked: "Alas, classmates and colleagues are just different. However, when I was in my first year of junior high school, I also had a female classmate who sold mutton skewers at home. It's a pity that she doesn't look at me properly, so I've never eaten her lamb kebabs. You say, if there was a female classmate who had a bathing center at home, and she used me as a dish, how nice it would beβ"
Listening to it in his ears, Fan Jianqiang and Yijin both smiled.
Then, Fan Jianqiang said: "Second brother, have you thought about it, if one day, you drive Daben and run one of the best bath cities in Xinghua, what will your current colleagues and past classmates think?" Don't always think about taking advantage of others, sometimes you should also think about what it's like to be taken advantage of by others. If you want me to say, the taste of being taken advantage of others is much stronger than the taste of taking advantage of others. β
Jiu Liang obviously didn't understand, and stared at Fan Jianqiang puzzled as he walked: "Being taken advantage of by others, is there still a taste?" Eight taels, are you insane? By the way, what is Daben? β
Fan Jianqiang was about to answer, when a noise suddenly appeared in front of him.
When I looked up, I saw two men running towards me shouting.
Walking in front is actually Jiang Wu!
A few minutes later, the Fan family father and son had already been invited to the manager's office of Baile Bath City.
Warmly beckoning the Fan family father and son to sit down, beckoning the waiter to make tea, and even picking up the apples in the fruit bowl and peeling them himself, Jiang Wu was very busy.
Not only did he speak politely, but his body was also very soft, what he did and said was accompanied by a smiling face, which was like two people before.
In this situation, not only Lao Fan, Fan Jianqiang and Yijin were surprised, but Jiuliang was also shocked to open his mouth wide, looking like he was sitting like a needle carpet: "Fifth master, just work for a while, you will become like this, I can't bear it." Don't cut it, don't laugh at it, talk to me, will you? β
Jiang Wu didn't care about Jiuliang's words, he only cared about peeling apples, and still smiled like a flower: "Brother Jiuliang, I'm Jiang Wu, don't you know?" The mouth is a little broken, but the heart is good. And ah, I'm a person, and I know how to change my mistakes. You don't know about this, so I won't talk about it today. β
Jiang Wuzui is bad, but the heart and eyes are worse than the mouth.
For so many years, all colleagues who have worked in Yucheng have said so in private.
If you know what kind of mistake you can change!
It's bad, it's bad, I'm afraid Jiang Wu has taken the wrong medicine-
In this way, Jiu Liang muttered in his heart, and he couldn't help but stand up: "Fifth master, even if you want to settle accounts with me, why do you have to wait for my father and them to leave, right?" Moreover, the little vacation of that hour was approved by you personally. Besides, I will never go back on what I promised youβ"
Nine taels are the two packs of Nanjing cigarettes.
Who knows, this statement immediately made Jiang Wu unhappy.
He stopped peeling apples and frowned, "Brother Jiuliang, what are you talking nonsense?" What do I have to do with you? Seriously, even if you want to settle accounts, you and I will settle accounts. Sit down, sit down and rest. By the way, it's not easy for your old Fan family to come to the county seat, I have arranged a table at the Imperial Capital Hotel, let's finish eating the fruit, we will go immediately-"
As he spoke, an apple was peeled, albeit unevenly.
What made Lao Fan's family even more puzzled was that Jiang Wu, who was arrogant and domineering before, paid attention to etiquette, dropped the fruit knife, smiled brightly, walked up to Lao Fan, and handed it over respectfully like a clown: "Old Man Fan, before I, Jiang Wugou, looked down on people and neglected your old man, don't take it to heart." To be honest, in my life, I have lived for thirty or forty years, and I have never peeled an apple for my mother. I'm making amends, and you must eatβ"
Seeing it in his eyes and pondering it in his heart, Fan Jianqiang quickly realized: I am afraid that there will be no other person who can suppress Jiang Wu into this servile appearance, except for power.
And most of this power comes from Director Zhou, who just sent him to the bath city.
To put it more directly, it is Guan Yan from the Minister of Propaganda.
The question is, how can a propaganda minister who follows the formalism of poverty alleviation secretly use the power to benefit the old Fan family?
