Chapter 22: Thank you
Just as Yu Wenkang was checking the situation behind Building No. 5, he never thought that Huilan was waiting for dinner at the nearby Lanhuihe Hotel!
Whelan is the east today, so she came to the hotel early, the waiter took her to a small private room, Whelan saw the door outside the private room with the words "Lan Hui Blossom" written on the door, which is the name of the private room. Whelan was happy, this name is good.
The private room is not big, about five square meters, and the furnishings are very simple. There is a small round table in the middle, four chairs next to it, a clothes rack in the corner, and a bucket ink painting hanging on the wall opposite the door. The picture shows five blooming orchids growing on a large rock, including three orchids and two orchids. The painting is rich in ink and has strong stretch lines, which is very eye-catching.
Whelan picked up the recipes on the table and looked at them, they were all home-cooked dishes, the prices were very affordable, and the quality of the dishes was also good.
The door opened, and Nan Zhuang walked in. Whelan said, "You're so early! ”
Nan Zhuang smiled and said, "I'll go this way when I get off work, and I'll be there soon!" Haven't they come yet? Seeing Whelan shaking his head, he said, "The food in this store is good, it's very affordable, we've been here a few times." ”
Huilan saw that Nan Zhuang was sweating a little and said, "Let's have a pot of tea first!" What kind of tea is good to drink? ”
"It's hot, just drink chrysanthemum tea!" Nan Zhuang said, and then he called the waiter to bring a pot of chrysanthemum tea, and the waiter agreed to leave.
After a while, the waiter walked in with a teapot and bowl. poured two cups of tea, put them in front of Huilan and Nan Zhuang, said kind words and went out. "Quench your thirst with some tea." Whelan said to Nan Zhuang.
Nan Zhuang smiled and said, "I was in a hurry just now, and I was a little thirsty. As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and blew it a few times, and drank it all in one gulp.
Whelan poured another cup and said, "You are resolute in everything you do, and you really have a bit of a military style." The body is also very straight, like a soldier. ”
"I didn't ever serve as a soldier, but I was born into a military family, and my father was a soldier all his life until he retired. I may have been influenced by him to act like a soldier in everything. Nan Zhuang introduced a little about the family situation.
"My father also served as a soldier, but he didn't work for a long time, and then he returned to Huainan and was assigned to a machinery factory, a few years ago the factory closed down, and my father was laid off, so he opened a cigarette shop to do small business." Whelan glanced at Nan Zhuang, "You see that they are all soldiers, one continues to work in the army, and the other goes back to the place, but the final result is completely different."
"Yes! People don't know what it's going to be like in this life. Nan Zhuang shook his head, "If there is a war, maybe my father will go to war, and I don't know what the result will be." Nan Zhuang sighed with emotion, "In this life, as long as you are obedient, it is very good, and it doesn't matter much to how much money you can fight for in the end and how big an official you can be." ”
Huilan looked at Nan Zhuang, a young man actually has so much emotion about life, as if he has gone through half his life, it seems that he is a person who loves to sum up experience.
The door opened again, and Lai Quan walked in with a smile: "I'm not too late!" ”
"It's not too late, it's six o'clock, just right!" Huilan smiled and said, "You sit down and drink some tea first, Tong Shuihe will be there in a while." Come, sit here. Whelan said, pointing to the chair on the right.
Lai Quan sat down, and Whelan handed over a cup of tea and said, "Let's hurry up here after work!" ”
"Yes! I'm in a hurry! I'm afraid I'll be late! Rai Quan took a sip of his glass.
"It's not like going to work, why are you in a hurry!" Nan Zhuang said.
"Hey, I'm born with this temper, I always want to be on time when there's something, no matter how big or small." Lai Quan said with a smile.
"I'm like this too, you can't say don't worry, it's really natural." Nan Zhuang said.
"You are all people who talk about the rules, and you do everything according to the rules." Whelan exclaimed.
"It seems that I don't follow the rules!" Tong Shuihe walked in as he spoke, "I also want to talk about the rules, but there is too much traffic on the road, and I can't talk about it if I want to!" Everyone laughed.
"Everyone is here, let's order." Whelan picked up the recipe, "That's it! Each of the three of you will order two hot dishes, and I will order two cold dishes, for a total of eight dishes. After that, he called the waiter.
Tong Shuihe took the recipe and said, "I'll order first," she flipped through the recipe, "a steamed sea bass, a fried chicken with sauce." After speaking, he handed the recipe to Nan Zhuang, "It's your turn!" ”
"Then I'll order a can of stewed beef and a roast pork shutter." Nan Zhuang handed the recipe to Lai Quan again, "It's up to you this time." ”
Lai Quan took the recipe and put it aside and said, "You all order meat, I'll order a dish." One mushu pork, one stir-fried choy sum. ”
"It's my turn!" Whelan thought for a moment, "One shoots cucumbers, one deep-fried peanuts." It's all a dish that goes with alcohol. She looked at everyone, "Are these dishes enough?" ”
"Enough is enough!" Nan Zhuang and Lai all said.
"And what are we going to drink?" Whelan asked.
"Just drink beer! The main thing is to quench your thirst. Nan Zhuang said, he looked at Lai Quan again, "Okay?" ”
"Yes, yes, just drink beer, it's mainly about chatting." Lai Quan agreed.
Whelan said, "Okay, how many bottles do you two men drink each?" She looked at the two of them, "Let's drink three bottles per person!" Nan Zhuang and Lai all agreed, and Whelan ordered seven bottles of beer, and the waiter memorized and repeated it before going out.
Soon the cold dishes and beer were served, and Nan Zhuang served beer in everyone's cups. Tong Shuihe said that he drank tea without drinking beer while driving, and everyone expressed their understanding.
Whelan said very kindly: "I invite two brothers and one sister to get together today, mainly to express my deep gratitude. My two brothers saved my life and gave me a new lease of life; An older sister took me in for the time being, avoiding the harassment of the bad guys. It made me, a person who was adrift in a foreign land, feel extremely warm, and drove away the loneliness in my body, so I was able to grit my teeth and persevere. I am very grateful to you. Come, I'll toast the three of you, and I clinked glasses with the three of them, and then drank up a small glass of beer.
Tong Shuihe hurriedly said: "Sister Lan, slow down, don't get drunk!" We will continue to give you the greatest support in the future, so that you will never be alone. Then he said to everyone, "Come, let's do it together, and continue to care for and help Whelan." The three of them did it together.
Now, Whelan's face is really good-looking, white and red, especially the red, pink and pink, which makes her face even more white and tender. She took a few peanut beans and chewed them in her mouth and said, "I really thank you, if you don't save me, I will really die unjustly." You saved me and made me understand that I must live a good life, and I must live as a person. ”
Nan Zhuang picked up the wine bottle and poured a full glass for Laiquan, and then poured a full glass for Huilan, and finally filled it himself, and then said: "It is not easy for a few of us to meet together, and then there will be a big reunion, no matter who has something to do in the future, we will help each other and strive for everyone to have a good life." He turned to Whelan, "Just take a sip," and then said to everyone, "Cheers!" ”
Nan Zhuang and Lai are all! Whelan did it too!
