Chapter 35: Giving Birth to a Child

In this snowy winter, the streets are filled with a happy atmosphere, and the men and women who love each other are eagerly and happily living the festival of foreigners.

On Christmas Eve, everyone made an appointment to bring their families, and the plan was to go to a slightly more formal venue for dinner first, and then arrange follow-up activities.

Although it is a foreign festival, for a few of us "sand yards" (the name of the locals born and raised in Star City), I feel that Western food is still not very enjoyable, and we want to eat Hunan cuisine, so we gather in the east of Yulou. Yes, it is Yuloudong, which is known as the "Whampoa Military Academy" of Hunan cuisine.

The original name of Yulou in the east of Yulou is Yulouchun, which takes the meaning of "Jinwu Tibetan Jiaojiao Night, Yulou Banquet and Drunken Spring" in Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hatred". Later generations thought that "spring" was obscure, and because Yulou Spring Restaurant was located at the mouth of Dongmao Street, it was officially renamed Yulou East Restaurant.

Friends from other places must come here to taste the authentic taste of Hunan cuisine, don't mention Hunan cuisine and just know to say, "Oh, I know, it's chopped pepper fish head, Mao's braised pork, chili fried pork (also known as farmhouse fried meat)..."

When you get here, there is no need to order the "ants on the tree" that can often be made at home, and the two specialties of "spicy chicken" and "mushroom soup belly" are indispensable. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guangyu, the eldest grandson of the Hanlin Zeng Guo Domain, once went upstairs to eat, and left a well-known sentence of "spicy chicken soup soaked in belly, making people often remember the east of the jade building".

Then we ordered Yulou bacon and smoked bamboo shoots, big basin three fresh, ancestral nunnery simmered skirt, signature chili pepper and other newly launched more popular dishes. Among them, "Signature Shake Pepper" is the most distinctive, and this dish is one of the classic dishes in southern Chunan. The difference in the preparation method is that it is made with wooden sticks, and it is an essential dish to serve with sake and rice. The flavor is unique and spicy.

On the TV in the box, a group of migrant workers' brothers whose wages were white-struck was being broadcast, and the foreman promised the reporter that it would be resolved within three days. Recently, this kind of incident has had a relatively big impact, and the premier has made a special statement on this kind of incident, demanding that all localities must solve the problem of arrears in the labor remuneration of the peasant workers before the Chinese New Year.

Zhang Xun said to us, it's still your media people who are confused.

Wang Jian said: "What a fool, I have two classmates who used to be reporters on the Star City Finance Channel, and they often only pay for their manuscripts every other month. In the end, the manuscript fee was not paid for several months, and he looked for a station leader theory, and he said that it was because the producer of my classmate's column did not get an advertisement, so there was no money to send it! What bullshit logic? ”

It's funny to think about it, the reporter helps this to ask for wages, helps that to ask for wages, and in the end, his own wages have to be asked from others. In the end, when his two classmates left the channel, they didn't get the bonus benefits they deserved. Which do they go to? Which channel will broadcast?

When everyone was full of wine and food, they began to discuss where to continue to celebrate the festival, gossiping, some said to sing, some said to club, Wang Jian's favorite is to go to the private room to play cards together.

At this time, I suddenly heard Jiang Ruoli on the side say to Brother Huang lightly, "I can only spend the first half with you on Christmas Eve, and I will make an appointment with a friend later." She didn't say it loudly, but everyone seemed to hear it, and suddenly something was wrong.

She got up to say sorry to everyone and was about to leave the table, and Don Juan followed her out of the door.

Sitting at the table, these two people didn't talk much, and as soon as they went out, they came to their spirits, and they were very loud, and they could hear the argument between the two people from outside the door from a distance.

"Ahh

......

Jiang Ruoli said: "A few of my friends from Xiangtan are here, and I have to go and accompany them." I'm too lazy to ramble with you, so I'll go first. ”

I heard Juan raise his voice (yell) at Ruo Li: "Don't blame the dog for following you if you look like a!" ”

gave the "old feelings" face in the first half, and went to accompany the "new friends" in the second half, can it be considered that she is a busy person who has arranged it properly? Since then, Don Juan has a new code name "First Half" among the brothers, which is a later story.

Wang Jian comforted Don Juan and said, "Risky, I was originally hanging alone, but now the two of us are just a couple, brother, I will accompany you." ”

Huang Yue also wrapped his arms around his shoulders and said: Forget it, the husband and wife don't worry about it overnight, and they will merge after dinner.

Don Juan said indignantly: Which one is married to her, that's a ghost when she is back!

I said that playing cards was too unlively, and proposed to sing, Don Juan said that he wanted to, he was in the mood to play cards, and everyone took care of him.

Brother Huang is the real king of karaoke tonight, he sang it in one breath, you are ruthless, your heart is too soft, and it hurts, so be it, break up kindly, break up happily...... A few songs were ordered by himself, and a few songs were ordered by all of us, and they were all rushed to sing by him, and they were indeed songs that were very suitable for him to vent his emotions.

There was a lot of wine and a lot of talk, talking about some of his past with Jiang Ruoli. I think that when I was working hard in Hainan back then, the two of them added up to more than 30 yuan left, and I used it today, and it was a problem to eat tomorrow. But she saw a 30 yuan flower skirt and liked it very much, no matter where the next meal went, she had to buy the skirt first, and Brother Juan didn't blame her at that time, she just felt that she had no ability.

When leaving Hainan, Qian Cheng and Qiu Qian decided to take the train back, and after being penniless, Don Juan and the others borrowed money from Qian Chengjiao to buy plane tickets, because Ruoli said that she had never been on a plane in her life, and she wanted to have a memories.

Qian Cheng interjected, saying that it was borrowed, and now that our country's five-year plan has passed, I also took the opportunity to see Brother Huang mention the matter of repaying the money, haha.

Qiu Qian said that in fact, the two of you have very good personalities, you will enjoy life if you say it is good, and if you say it is not good, you will enjoy life, and if you don't listen to it, you will be a "child", which means the same as a big spender. In fact, those who are familiar with Don Juan know that this sentence is to the point, and Huang Turtle never refutes it in front of his friends.

Don Juan, according to the fucking saying, "has no money in his hands", and if he has a little more money, he will eat it all, play it all, or buy clothes and shopping, etc., and he believes in the "three-light doctrine" of consumption.

His family has always been very pampered with him, and when he was young, it was because the family conditions were not bad, and he basically met him with everything he wanted; Now that his parents are retired and laid off, he is still a big spender, and he still likes to compare when he sees what others have......
