Chapter 059: Brine and Tofu
Xiaomei and Zou Jie walked into the guest house together.
Zou Jie's room was in a corner.
The room is not big, but the ensuite is all white and plaster walls, and the outhouse can be used for cooking.
There is a narrow kang that can squeeze two people into the inner room, and on the wall hangs a pair of framed ink calligraphy and paintings with cold plum dots and chic ink.
There is a study table on the floor, which is also a dining table.
Against the wall is a teak platform with embroidered curtains hanging underneath, on which are neatly placed mirrors, vases and a small alarm clock, as well as some small objects for women's dress.
This is Zou Jie's personal little world, the house is cleaned up, and there is a smell of fat powder.
Xiaomei kept admiring and praising her, especially the inscription painting, which she looked at carefully.
I found out that the inscription and painting were actually "Wen Duo inscribed the masterpiece *** poem "Pu Operator-Yongmei".
Xiaomei asked in surprise: "Sister, this calligraphy and plum blossoms were created by you and your brother-in-law, right?" ”
"Okay, sister, as far as you can see, no one who has been to my room over the years can see it, and when asked where I came from, I only said that it was sent by a friend in the city, and they all believed it." Zou Jie said, "The plum blossoms were painted by me, and the characters were written by Wen Duo, so we can cooperate quite well, right?" ”
"No, it's just seamless." Xiaomei said, "Sister, you and your brother-in-law are so powerful, I think you two are a natural pair." ”
Zou Jie smiled thoughtfully, and began to rummage through something.
Soon, she put her things in a pocket and said to Xiaomei: "Hurry up, lest Gao Laosan come back to grind for a while, and it will be difficult to get out." ”
Xiaomei came to her senses and quickly left the room with Zou Jie.
However, when they walked out of the door of the guest house, they were greeted by Gao Lao San, who rushed back in a hurry, and not far away was his mother, Director Gao's wife, Dr. Feng.
Gao Laosan bought back a few bottles of soda and a pack of orange petal candy, and was happily preparing to be courteous in front of Xiaomei and Zou Jie, but he didn't expect them to be ready to leave so soon.
He is a hundred unwilling, not to mention that his mother is still behind, how can he let his mother see the goddess in his heart.
He stopped in front of Zou Jie and Xiaomei and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, even if you don't look down on me, you should stay and drink saliva based on my intentions, right?" ”
"You're really willing, we've got it, so you should keep it for yourself." Zou Jie said, "We have something to do when we go back, so I won't bother you with Director Gao's hospitality." ”
Gao Laosan deliberately approached Xiaomei, took a bottle of soda and handed it to Xiaomei, and Xiaomei dodged behind Zou Jie.
Gao Laosan followed Xiaomei and said: "Xiaomei, what are you hiding, you know what I think about the two of us, what do you say I can't do, can't I change it?" ”
Gao Laosan deliberately pulled Xiaomei's hand, but Xiaomei threw it away, Gao Laosan said: "You see that I am not pleasing to the eye, even if you tell the third brother, the face is not pleasing to the eye, you tear off my face, the hand is not pleasing to the eye, you just chop it up, as long as you are happy, the third brother will not blink his eyes." ”
"Don't you know what you can't do? If it is really as you said, you should go into the palace to serve the emperor. Zou Jie said impatiently, "Get out!" If you dare to stop us again, believe it or not, I will go to the police station to accuse you of being a hooligan. ”
"Don't be like this, Director Zou, I have already learned well, I don't mean anything else." Gao Laosan restrained his style and pleaded, "Xiaomei, as long as you nod, I, Gao Laosan, swear that I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you from now on." ”
"Are you worthy? Don't spoil the cows and horses. Zou Jie said, "Acquaintance, you should also have someone to take care of you, don't waste time on Xiaomei." ”
Zou Jie shook off Gao Laosan and pulled Xiaomei away.
At this time, Gao Laosan's mother, Dr. Feng, rushed over in a white coat.
The mother, who is of Mongolian descent, is fat and strong.
She approached, a little out of breath, and said, "Don't worry, how can you just meet and leave?" You see, I heard that Director Zou led Miss Xiaomei here, I didn't even have time to change my clothes and rushed over, I just wanted to see Miss Xiaomei's face, it's really better to hear than to see, if it's really a goddess of heaven, I don't know if my third child has this blessing. Dr. Feng spoke in a wide range of voices, but his expression was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
"Hello Dr. Feng." Zou Jie introduced Xiaomei and said, "Xiaomei, this is Dr. Feng from our commune hospital, Aunt Feng. ”
"Aunt Feng is good." Xiaomei politely looked up and greeted Dr. Feng.
She'd only heard about it before, but had never seen it. Seeing this, it seemed that there was a bit of hidden domineering in her eyes.
"Good, good, good, the voice is so good, and the person is also steady and quiet, at first glance, she is a cultivated girl." Doctor Feng came to Xiaomei's side, took Xiaomei's hand, and kept praising and looking at Xiaomei. She said to Zou Jie again, "Thank you Xiao Zou, my third child has made you worry a lot before and after, go, follow me back to the guest house, I want to have a good chat with Xiaomei, I will let the canteen make us something delicious, and it is not too late to go back after dinner, if you don't go back to live in the guest house tonight, you will go back tomorrow morning." ”
"Doctor Feng, we appreciate your kindness, Xiaomei is accompanying me to pick up things, we are in a hurry to go back and have something to do, so I won't trouble you." Zou Jie said, "As for Director Gao's matter, it seems that the two of them are not fated, and I can't help much, please forgive me." ”
"What is this saying, how can two people know that there is no fate if they are not together in one place, you have done your best, then a good person will do it to the end, auntie believes in your ability, and believes in Xiaomei's vision." Doctor Feng took Xiaomei's hand and said, "It's understandable that Xiaomei is cautious, if you easily agree, I still doubt what your intentions are, don't you?" It's more likable. You're still a substitute teacher, aren't you? If you have any difficulties, tell your aunt, and your aunt will help you. ”
Xiaomei said: "Thank you, Auntie, I'm fine now." ”
"What's good, I'm idle at home now, saying that it's because of her good class generation, and I'm going to transfer her to our central primary school to teach, it's been almost a month, and there is no news at all," Zou Jie said, "Maybe someone is in the middle." ”
When Gao Laosan heard that someone might be making a hindrance in the middle, he immediately came to his senses and said, "I'll go and ask in a while, who the fuck dares to make a hindrance from it, and I will make their whole family die a good death." ”
Doctor Feng looked at his son with an embarrassed expression, spit on him and said, "Shut your stinky mouth, learn from Xiaomei, and be careful in your words." She changed the topic and said to Xiaomei and Zou Jie, "It may also be that it is inconvenient to arrange this semester, it doesn't matter, as long as Xiaomei can think about it, this matter is easy to do. ”
"That's great, otherwise, Xiaomei's grandfather can say that he wants the county magistrate to help transfer Xiaomei to the county to teach," Zou Jie said, "At that time, with Xiaomei's conditions, it may not be possible to marry the son of a county leader." ”
Dr. Feng asked, "Who is Xiaomei's grandfather?" ”
"Gao Songnian, the famous old hero of our commune," Zou Jie said, "I also came to Xingfutun these days to get the right number." ”
"It's him, that's a great character." Doctor Feng's face was full of gloomy clouds, and he said, "Since you two still have something to do, then wait for Xiaomei to be transferred to the central school another day and live in our guest house, and I will entertain you." ”
Xiaomei and Zou Jie finally got rid of the mother and son and said goodbye to them. I had already walked far away, and I vaguely heard Doctor Feng reprimanding Gao Laosan: "Useless things, don't fight for your father at all." ”
Zou Jie turned around and saw that Gao Laosan was still standing at the door of the guest house, unwilling, and looked at it reluctantly.
Xiaomei asked Zou Jie: "Why did my sister move my grandfather out?" ”
"This is called one thing descending to one thing, dealing with this kind of person, finding someone with a higher status than them to press her, and begging her better than you, this is the sad logic that has not changed for thousands of years." Zou Jie said, "I have no choice but to borrow your grandfather and the county magistrate's fox fake tiger power, wait, as I expected, your affairs will soon be eyebrow-raising." ”
"I suddenly don't want to go to the central school now." Xiaomei said.
"Are you worried that Gao Laosan is pestering you? It doesn't matter, when the time comes, you will live with me, forgive him and dare not do anything to you, besides, if you know that Old Man Gao is your grandfather, he will also be stunned, afraid that your grandfather will collapse him with one shot. ”
Xiaomei thought to herself, Zou Jie is really scheming, not only has the courage and insight to do things, but also sees the problem clearly and thoroughly, but she is still worried about her fate.
Getting rid of the entanglement between Gao Laosan and his mother Dr. Feng, leaving the commune guest house, Zou Jie rode a bicycle and took Xiaomei straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The Lushan Supply and Marketing Cooperatives and the guest house are on the same street, not far from each other, and Zou Jie can ride a bicycle for three or two minutes.
The supply and marketing cooperatives are the most prosperous on this street.
Anyone who comes to the commune generally has to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the daily miscellaneous items that the common people need are only available here.
Zou Jie parked his bicycle in a corner and walked into the red lacquer gate of the supply and marketing cooperatives side by side with Xiaomei, because he looked young and beautiful, and every step attracted a lot of envious eyes.
The room of the supply and marketing cooperatives is very large, although there is no light in the room, it is a little dim, but it is much brighter than the people's homes.
The goods on display here are not dazzling, they are all daily necessities and hardware and farm tools for the daily needs of the common people, the most eye-catching is a little bright color clothing, shoes and socks and cloth, and then there are a limited variety of candies and pastries.
The salespeople in the supply and marketing cooperatives wear white coats, they are very thoughtful and enthusiastic about every customer, but they are meticulous in principle, and the general goods are supplied by ticket, without exceptions.
Zou Jie took Xiaomei to walk around the supply and marketing cooperative, said hello to familiar people, and bought a few things.
Xiaomei bought ink and a book for her younger brother, and Zou Jie bought a box of rouge and a bottle of alabaster as a gift for Xiaomei, but Xiaomei shirked it but had to accept it.
Before leaving, Zou Jie was extravagant again, buying two taels of candy, two loaves of bread and a bottle of soda per person.
Walking out of the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, just as they were going to push the bicycle, Zou Jie and Xiaomei just caught up with a group of street thugs shouting and punching and kicking a person.
