Chapter 029: Going to the Appointment
Li Shuyuan called Zuo Zheng with great interest, but no one answered after calling twice, it is estimated that he may be eating in the canteen of the agency at this time, and she has not returned to the office yet, so she had to put down the phone helplessly.
When Zuo Jiang stepped forward to help after eating and cleaning up the table, Li Shuyuan hurriedly pushed Zuo Jiang to the sofa in the living room: "Xiao Jiang, I don't need you for this job today, my mother can do it alone, you can sit here and watch TV for a while, and my mother will be over in a while." ”
Seeing his mother's excited appearance, Zuo Jiang had no choice but to dispel the idea of helping her clean up the table again, and stepped forward to turn on the TV, which was broadcasting the noon news of CCTV. At this time, there was no digital TV and closed-circuit television, and his TV could receive a total of 5 stations, Central 1, Central 2, Songjiang Province 1, 2 and Songjiang City TV programs.
It didn't take long for Li Shuyuan to clean up the table and wash the dishes, she was on the sofa while watching TV with Zuo Jiang while asking about the competition, and from time to time she went over to call Zuo Zheng, but no one answered. Zuo Jiang thought, it would be good if there was a mobile phone at this time, no matter where you are, whether it is at home or abroad, you can find it with a gentle pull of the number.
It wasn't until she was about to go to work that Li Shuyuan dialed Zuo Zheng's phone, and she said very excitedly: "Child's father, let me tell you a good news, our Zuo Jiang won the first place in the school's Mathematics Olympiad, and he has to represent the school in the city's competition!" ”
In fact, Zuo Zheng already knew the news when he was eating in the canteen of the agency, and he couldn't believe it at that time, although he didn't have time to care about Zuo Jiang, he still knew how his son was studying, until Song Dayou said that his daughter Song Kexin also participated in the competition, and he didn't believe it until he won the second place behind his son Zuo Jiang.
Seeing that there was no response on the phone, Li Shuyuan thought that Zuo Zheng was so happy that he couldn't speak for a while, so she continued: "Child, Dad, you come back early tonight, I'll make a table of delicious food to celebrate!" ”
It was only at this time that Zuo Zheng came back to his senses and said happily: "Shuyuan, it's time to celebrate, I'm usually busy with work and don't have time to take care of Xiao Jiang, my family depends on you, Xiao Jiang can achieve such good results is all your credit!" ”
Li Shuyuan couldn't help but feel sour when she heard this, it was also a kind of happiness to be understood and affirmed by her husband, she said a little choked: "Child, father, what are you talking about, my son is also mine, I should take care of him, okay, don't say much, you must come back early in the evening." ”
Zuo Zheng saw that Li Shuyuan was going to put the phone, and hurriedly said: "Shuyuan, don't put the phone first, let me tell you, you don't want to prepare dishes at night, just now Secretary Song told me that let our whole family eat with them at night, his daughter Xiao Kexin won the second place in this competition, and said that our two families will celebrate together!" ”
Li Shuyuan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and she was excited to report the good news to her husband, he already knew about it. However, this did not dispel her excitement, the secretary Song Dayou lived in the opposite door of his house, and the relationship between the two families was also very close, and it was good to celebrate the two families together, so he said to Zuo Zheng: "Okay, you have to come back early!" ”
Zuo Jiang and Song Kexin's intensive training began today, the school's plan is to concentrate three students in the last two classes every afternoon, and be guided by Teacher Bai, who has rich experience in teaching Olympiad mathematics, Teacher Bai is a college student who has just been assigned to the Second Railway Middle School for less than two years, and is a high-achieving student who graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Northeast Normal University, and has a deep knowledge in the field of mathematics.
Teacher Bai was very well prepared, the class was also very good, and there were all kinds of materials, and Zuo Jiang also benefited a lot after listening to her class. Although Zuo Jiang is a top student of Northern Jiaotong University, he is not from a mathematics class after all.
It was less than 5 o'clock when Zuo Jiang returned home from school, his father Zuo Zheng and mother Li Shuyuan were at home, obviously they came back early on purpose, Zuo Zheng saw Zuo Jiang come back, and a rare smile appeared on his face, which flattered Zuo Jiang, in his previous life, he rarely saw his father's smile, so he said happily: "Dad, Mom, you are all back?" ”
Zuo Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, today I came back early to congratulate you on this champion!" ”
Li Shuyuan also smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang, you go and wash your face, and we will go to your Uncle Song's house for dinner in a while, and the two families will celebrate together."
When Zuo Jiang heard that he was going to Song Kexin's house for dinner, he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, although Song Kexin lived at the opposite door of his house, but he didn't have a chance to go to her house after being reborn, the reason was that Song Kexin didn't want to see him at all, it seems that his efforts have finally begun to have an effect, if it wasn't for what Song Kexin said to her parents, there would be no today's dinner at all, otherwise she would have nothing to celebrate.
When Zuo Jiang went to wash his face, Zuo Zheng said to Li Shuyuan: "Shuyuan, Secretary Song's family can't go empty-handed when they invite us to dinner, you go and find out the bottle of Moutai wine that our father gave me, I am happy today, I want to have a good drink with Lao Song." “
Zuo Zheng said that our father refers to Li Shuyuan's father Li Dalun, Zuo Zheng and Li Shuyuan were in the cowshed when they got married, Zuo Jiang was 6 years old after the rehabilitation and reinstatement, he always felt indebted to Zuo Zheng's son-in-law, so he gave Zuo Zheng the bottle of Moutai wine given to him by the old chief when he was rehabilitated, and Zuo Zheng has never been worth drinking.
Li Shuyuan rummaged through the box and finally found the bottle of Moutai, and when his father gave the bottle to Zuo Zheng, he said that the bottle was produced in 1960. More than 10 years older than Zuo Jiang, it has been 26 years now, and now it is impossible to buy it on the market, even in the overseas Chinese stores in the city, and the value has reached more than 1,000 yuan.
When Zuo Jiang's family knocked on the door of Song Dayou's house, a good smell of vegetables wafted out of the house. Song Dayou warmly welcomed the three members of Zuojiang's family into the house, and called out to his wife Zhong Lijuan, who was cooking in the kitchen: "Lijuan, Director Zuo and his family are here, you brew my Longjing tea!" ”
Zhong Lijuan said yes and walked out of the kitchen with a flower apron around her, looking for tea leaves in the bowl under the coffee table. When Li Shuyuan saw it, she stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be busy, and you're not an outsider, I'll make tea!" ”
Zhong Lijuan and Li Shuyuan pushed and gave in, and when they saw that Li Shuyuan insisted on getting started, they had no choice but to agree. After Li Shuyuan finished making tea, she went directly into the kitchen to help Zhong Lijuan, the two were already very familiar with each other, and they cooperated very easily, talking and laughing while cooking.
Zuo Jiang saw that Song Kexin didn't show up for a long time, and thought that this little girl must be embarrassed to hide in the house and not come out. Seeing his father Zuo Zheng and Song Dayou pointing at the bottle of Moutai and talking excitedly about the history of this wine, he had to scan around the living room boredly. The layout of Song Kexin's living room is exactly the same as that of his house, and the furniture is similar, with a single sofa and a double sofa, and a 21-inch color TV on the TV opposite the sofa. Looking up again, he found a painting hanging on the wall, with four big characters written on it: Chunhua and Qiushi. The font is a line of grass, and the flowing strokes are even more vigorous. Zuo Jiang thought that this might be written by Song Dayou, he knew that Song Dayou's calligraphy attainments were very high.
