Chapter 68: Returning Home for the New Year
Zhu Daolin put his mobile phone to his ear and admitted his mistake repeatedly, and finally promised to "roll" back within half an hour to admit his mistake and accept the teaching, which was exchanged for his mother's temporary forgiveness.
"Is it laughing like this? Looking at your gloating appearance, I can understand what it means to be careless in making friends. ”
Zhu Daolin complained about Chu Mei, who was smiling so much, reluctantly put away his mobile phone, and then invited Chu Mei to his home as a guest.
Chu Mei smiled mischievously and asked, "Do you want me to disperse the firepower for you?" ”
Zhu Daolin smiled, but he didn't want to admit it: "Shouldn't you visit the old man in your boss's house for the New Year?" Besides, I don't have a car now, so you can't let me walk back, right? ”
"Also, at the end of the lunch dinner, don't you want you to accompany me to the supermarket? You had to give up because you drank the wine, and now that the wine is gone, I just want to buy some New Year's goods for my father and mother, and you also have to buy some ingredients and put them in the refrigerator, right? ”
"What are you hesitating about?"
"Cunning fellow! If you can't see a shadow for three or four months in half a year, where is there still a boss at all? The Spring Festival is almost over, and you still need to buy New Year's goods now? Let me tell you, I waited for you to wait for you a few years ago and didn't come back, and Mr. Liang and my sister-in-law sent the rich New Year's goods to your parents, so this excuse is not valid! As for buying ingredients, I had already bought them yesterday afternoon and stuffed them in the refrigerator, so I didn't need to buy them, and I didn't have a place to put them when I bought them. ”
Chu Mei deliberately embarrassed Zhu Daolin and wanted to see how Zhu Daolin behaved.
Zhu Daolin didn't blush at all: "It's not good for your health to stay in the house all the time, it's a big New Year, you consume so much excess protein and fat, you need to go out for a walk to consume it as soon as possible, right?" ”
"Don't you want to lose weight? Don't hesitate, change your clothes and go out for a walk together, I'll go down and wait for you first! ”
Chu Mei subconsciously stroked her graceful little waist, nervously gestured and rubbed, until Zhu Daolin left, she didn't react, so angry that her little hands clenched her fists and turned around in a circle, pouting her red lips and scolding Zhu Daolin in a low voice, then she walked to the wardrobe in a puff, deliberately grinding, and made Zhu Daolin wait for fifteen minutes, then put on a light wheat camel hair coat, chained the car keys on the white and slender index finger and turned leisurely, raised her lovely chin and slowly went downstairs step by step.
In the face of Zhu Daolin's warm smile, Chu Mei pretended to be angry to hide the joy in her heart, drove a white Audi car and Zhu Daolin back to the agency community, but when she passed by a large tobacco and alcohol store, she took the initiative to pull over, and when she entered the store, she quickly took out her exquisite wallet and bought more than 3,000 yuan of dried scallops, scallops and wild mushrooms for Zhu Daolin's parents.
Zhu Daolin, who was weak-hearted, was more generous, and swiped his card to buy two pieces of 52 degrees Wuliangye Liuhe Grand Ceremony, two pieces of 52 degrees of Yanghe Dream Blue and a box of wild honey of 888 yuan.
More than ten minutes later, Zhu Daolin's mother deliberately opened the door after the bell rang three times, and wanted to scold her son with her head and face, but when she opened the door, it turned out to be the fair-skinned and delicate Chu Mei holding a gift and sweetly calling Auntie Happy New Year, how can Zhu's mother still have any resentment under her joy? helped Chu Mei into the door to ask for warmth, as if he had forgotten that there was a son outside the door.
Zhu Daolin, who was full of slander, held four pieces of fine wine, with a box of honey and a suitcase hanging on his wrists, stretched his neck to look, and soon heard the pleasant sound of a spatula coming from the kitchen.
Zhu Daolin strode through the door and walked through the living room, put the gifts and suitcases under the low cabinet behind the dining table, took off his coat and threw it on the back of the chair, and entered the kitchen to chat in a low voice with his long-lost father.
Before the father and son could say a few words, the mother had already rushed to the kitchen and asked loudly if the dish was ready. Zhu Daolin took advantage of his father's answer, took the fried eel slice in his hand and turned around and walked to the restaurant outside, the diligent Chu Mei silently picked up the dishes and chopsticks in the tray and placed them neatly on the table with Zhu Daolin.
The belated Spring Festival reunion dinner officially began, Zhu's mother rarely did not scold her son, her face was full of happy smiles, she drank a glass of blessing wine, and immediately picked up the chopsticks and a small stainless steel fork, and vigorously cooked the crimson Chumei cloth vegetables.
Zhu Daolin saluted his father three glasses in a row, put down the cup and continued to pour wine for his parents, explaining in a low voice that he couldn't come back for the New Year because he was too busy with business, and asked his father for forgiveness.
"When did you start business? What do you do? ”
Father Zhu asked in surprise, and Mother Zhu and Chu Mei stopped talking together and looked at Zhu Daolin, who was full of apologies.
Zhu Daolin could only bite the bullet and began to recite the made up excuses: "Do you still remember the comrade-in-arms from Guizhou who came back with me to visit relatives in the summer of my second year as a soldier?" ”
"Isn't that black guy who is not tall and has a strong appearance? What's it called...... It seems to be called Duan Deming, right? Mother Zhu remembered.
Zhu Daolin forcibly endured the guilt in his heart, nodded and continued to lie: "I ordered some swords, books, antique handicrafts and some other tourist equipment from this province and Zhejiang and Shanghai, and sent them to Duan Deming, some of which were sold locally in Guizhou, and most of them were shipped to the border of Yunnan......"
"Duan Deming has some outlets over there, and the business is not bad, if he is lucky enough to come across some antique calligraphy and paintings, he will hand them over to me to bring back and transfer them to auction houses or collectors in Nanjing and Shanghai.
Zhu's father was very concerned: "This business seems to have been done many years ago, especially the businessmen in the coastal areas of Zhejiang, in the early days of reform and opening up, they ran all over the country, not only did it early, but also engaged in this business There are many people, and all aspects have a great advantage, can you compete with others?" ”
"No problem, we still have channels in the remote areas of the southwest, Duan Deming is familiar with the road and has courage, his father was the deputy director of the Anshun District Tourism Bureau of Guizhou before he retired, and his popularity and road are good."
Zhu Daolin's words are indeed true, since he retired from the army, as long as he has the opportunity to surf the Internet, he chats with his old comrade-in-arms Duan Deming, who has played the best in the army, or leaves messages to each other, so he knows the family situation and the difficulties faced by his old comrades-in-arms who returned to his hometown after retiring from the army the year before last, and plans to finish the matter at hand after a while, so he will find a way to help this good brother.
Duan Deming's father did serve as the deputy director, but he was not the deputy director of the Anshun Municipal Tourism Bureau, but the deputy director of the Tourism Bureau of a poor county under Anshun City.
Before the bankruptcy and dissolution of the county town arsenal, this deputy director took special care of Lao Duan, who had been working on the sledgehammer for national defense construction for decades, and Comrade Duan retired after only half a year, and his son did not get the slightest benefit when he retired and returned home.
