Luzhong County's GDP has developed greatly in recent years, and the province is ready to withdraw Luzhong County from the county to build a city. In order to respond to the call of the superiors, the county government requires units at all levels to carry out cultural and entertainment activities and vigorously publicize the spirit of the superiors. The county commercial bureau organizes various competitions, including singing competitions, basketball competitions between units, table tennis competitions. Long Dan is an athlete and signed up for a table tennis competition.

In the afternoon of this day, Long Dan came to work in the sales department of the market on time, and Li Yong, the manager of the sales department, asked when he saw it: "Why didn't you go to the competition?" Long Dan said: "This afternoon is a competition for female employees, there is no business for me, and male employees will only start tomorrow", "You kid don't know what is good-looking, the competition for female employees is interesting, don't watch the game, look at the beauties, let's take a look" Li Yong said and pulled Long Dan to the competition venue.

When he came to the scene of the game, it happened to be the final of the women's singles, and Long Dan sat down on the chair in the back row to watch. The two people who are competing, one Long Dan knows, is the big beauty Zhang Ping of the Commercial Bureau, and she is also a scandalous figure, and the people in the Commercial Bureau generally know her. The other looked familiar, but couldn't remember who it was.

Li Yong sat next to Long Dan and said jokingly: "Your eyes are straight, these two beauties are good, you have a crush on that, let me introduce you?" "Come on, Zhang Ping's suitors are almost 2 miles away, and I'm better to be clear-hearted in that round, besides, I don't dare to ask for such a woman" Long Dan said. Li Yong continued: "Why don't you take a look at the other one? This is also a big beauty, it is said that she is a female employee of an oil company, let me tell you? They are also college students," Li Yong continued to joke with Long Dan. Long Dan said: "I don't know what kind of family this woman is, we can't afford it if the family is too good" "I really like it, when the game is over, I'll introduce you to you, I know her" Li Yong said, there was a smile, Long Dan said: "Watch the game, you, are you in love with Zhang Ping, if you like it, you can boldly chase it, that Zhang Ping is a trendy woman." As he was talking, the referee arrived: "Zhang Ping has two losses and one win in three games, and is the runner-up in this competition, and Chen Ying has two wins and one loss in three games, and is the champion of this competition." When Long Dan heard the referee shouting Chen Ying's name, he suddenly realized: "Maybe it's really her."

At this time, Chen Ying, who was finishing the game, suddenly saw Long Dan, ran over, and said, "Long Dan, are you also there?" "Is it really you?" Long Dan was surprised and said, "Who am I not?" When you come to your company, you don't dare to know me, are you afraid to invite me to dinner? Chen Ying said. Long Dan hurriedly said: "You have changed so much, you have become so beautiful, I can't even recognize it" "That means that I was ugly when I was in high school?" It's no wonder that some people didn't look at me when I was in high school, and they only pounced on that Ma Ting, quacking and ......" Chen Ying laughed, and Long Dan's face turned red: "I...... I...... Don't hurt me, okay? I didn't recognize you, can I apologize to you? Long Dan hurriedly admitted his mistake. It's rare to just apologize, it's not easy for me to come down, you can invite me to dinner today" Chen Ying said generously, Long Dan hurriedly agreed: "No problem, you can eat whatever you want, you just gave out a bonus, you still can't eat me" "You still have a bonus, it's really amazing, then I really won't leave, I have to eat you anyway" Chen Ying said.

Long Dan pointed at Li Yong to Chen Ying again: "This is our manager, Li Yong", then Li Yong said: "You know each other, I still want to introduce you to you, you are classmates?" Chen Ying said: "We are classmates in high school, Long Dan was a man of the year in high school, I am an ugly duckling, people don't look at me, quack quack" Long Dan hurriedly interrupted and said: "Manager Li, don't go home, give me my classmates, drink some together?" "Don't mind, I don't make a light bulb, you old classmates have dinner and gathering, I'll go and count what's the matter, come on" Li Yong hurriedly excused himself. Long Dan didn't let it go again, and when the game was over, he went to eat with Chen Ying together.

The two of them came to the best hotel in the county, Luzhong Hotel, and found a secluded seat and sat down. Long Dan asked Chen Ying to order, Chen Ying said that he wouldn't order anything, Long Dan had to take the recipe and order four dishes: white-cut chicken, Qingbian meatballs, mushu pork, and celery shredded meat. The four dishes were neither good nor bad, and asked Chen Ying if he could drink, Chen Hong said that he could drink a little, so he ordered another bottle of Luzhong Da Ran, which cost a total of 5 yuan.

At that time, in fact, 5 yuan was a lot, a pound of pork was less than 5 cents, and green vegetables were cheaper, unlike now, when you eat a meal in a restaurant, the average salaryman really can't afford to eat, and it often costs thousands of yuan. Not to mention that it costs 5 yuan to eat a meal, even a dish of 10 yuan is also a plate of green vegetables, a plate of green vegetables, and a little bit of meat costs dozens of yuan.

While the two were eating, Long Dan asked, "I only know that you went to Jiangnan University, why did you return to your hometown?" "It's okay for me, where will I go if I don't go back to my hometown? Besides, isn't it good to go back to your hometown? Aren't you back too," Chen Ying asked Long Dan rhetorically. "I don't like big cities, and besides, my father is also old and not in good health, so he needs to be taken care of" Long Dan asked again, "You were assigned to the oil company?" Chen Ying said: "Alas, yes, I don't care, who wants to go to which broken unit, it's not in the city." It's not easy to come down for a trip," Chen Ying said with a grudge.

Chen Ying's oil company was located on the outskirts of the county seat, perhaps because of the needs of preparing for war at that time, most of the country's war readiness material units were built in remote suburbs or mountains. At that time, the oil company was a unified purchase and sales, and the gasoline, diesel, and kerosene it operated had not yet entered the market, and it was a poor unit, and most people were unwilling to get this unit. In comparison, the department store where Long Dan is located is much stronger, and a lot of materials in short supply are handled, so naturally there is oil and water to be fished. However, then again, more than ten years later, the department store where Long Dan worked greatly impacted the original market due to the sudden rise of individual business, and finally ended up bankrupt and laid off employees. The oil company where Chen Ying works has also become the earliest listed company, divided into two major units, PetroChina and Sinopec, which sell the oil market across the country, and once became one of the world's top 500 enterprises. That's an afterword.

Long Dan chatted with Chen Ying, and it got dark, because the traffic was inconvenient at that time, Chen Ying's unit was far and remote, and Long Dan didn't have a bicycle, so he had to walk with Chen Ying on foot and send Chen Ying to the unit.

After walking for more than an hour on the road, it was already late when I arrived at the oil company, and it was not very convenient for Long Dan to go back. Chen Ying pushed his bicycle out and let Long Dan ride back. Chen Ying's father was one of the first to form a peasant construction team, leading dozens of people to build for people and making a small fortune. Chen Ying bought a bicycle for Chen Hong as soon as she graduated, but Chen Ying never learned to ride a bicycle, so the bicycle was kept in the dormitory and never moved. I rode for Long Dan today, and I made the best use of it.

Long Dan rode back to the unit, and a few days later remembered to return the bicycle. rode a bicycle to the oil company, and when he came to the oil company, Chen Ying generously invited Long Dan, saying that he was grateful to Long Dan for sending him off late at night. Long Dan, who was having dinner, rode the bicycle back in a daze. In this way, Long Dan didn't send it three times, and he ate Chen Ying's three invitations. In the end, it was Chen Ying who said: "Don't send it, if you send it again, you will eat me, anyway, I won't ride, you can use it first, and you will return it to me when I learn to ride", just like that, Long Dan rode to the oil company every Sunday to find Chen Ying for dinner, and half a year passed. Long Dan went to the oil company for dinner every week, and his colleagues in the marketing department also knew about it. Colleagues guessed that Long Dan was with his classmates, and they all inquired curiously, and Long Dan didn't know whether it was okay or not, and he didn't admit that there was such a thing, and he didn't admit that there was no such thing. Sometimes Long Dan went late, or didn't go, and Chen Ying asked Long Dan by phone from the guò unit. In Chen Ying's heart, he may regard Long Dan as his object.

After some days, Chen Ying asked Long Dan to go to his home to meet his parents, and Long Dan did not refuse, so he happily bought a gift and went to Chen Ying's hometown together. After eating a meal, Chen Ying's family was also very satisfied with Long Dan. Chen Ying's heart became more and more happy, thinking that he had found a home, but it wasn't until one day that Chen Ying proposed to meet Long Dan's parents, but Long Dan refused, Chen Ying thought that things were not so simple.
